Chapter 102: The Death of Liu Biao (2)

This time, when Liu Biao met Liu Bei, he did not mention revenge on Jiangdong.

Liu Biao was a little unsatisfied and spoke directly to Liu Bei:

"I am already terminally ill and will die soon. I have to ask my brother to be alone. My son has no talent and is afraid that he will not be able to inherit his father's business. After I die, my brother can lead Jingzhou by himself."

This was the second time that Liu Biao was humble in Jingzhou. Liu Bei naturally would not accept it. He cried and refused and thanked him: "I should do my best to assist my nephew Liu Qi, how dare he be willing!"

Liu Biao believed that Liu Bei would not accept Jingzhou, so he settled down and planned to pass the position of governor of Jingzhou to his son Liu Qi, and let Liu Bei assist in the name of his uncle. If his son was not good, he would let Liu Bei take over Jingzhou himself.

Liu Bei was also moved by being able to lead Jingzhou by himself, but he did not dare to break through his moral bottom line after all. Before the "three transfers" had reached, Liu Bei just agreed to assist Liu Qi.

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed to assist Liu Qi, Liu Biao was about to strike while the iron was hot and got it done, so he told Liu Bei that he would arrange someone to go to Jiangxia to replace Liu Qi and let him formally manage Jingzhou.

Liu Biao also asked Liu Bei to prepare for handover, and he wanted to send someone to come back for him, so that he could arrive in Xiangyang early and concentrate on assisting Liu Qi.

When Liu Bei heard Liu Biao's words, he was stunned and complained in his heart: "I just want you to let me go again, why are you so impatient? You have to pass the throne to Liu Qi. Can he withstand it?"

Liu Bei was a little at a loss, but he could not let Liu Biao implement the matter of passing the throne and Liu Qi first, so he had to find a way to leave.

Just so happened that Cai Mao, the general under Liu Biao, came to report that Cao Cao's troops in Xudu had abnormal movements, and Xiahou Dun led his troops to Ye County.

When Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao's troops were attacking, he hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Biao on the grounds that he was worried that Zhuge Liang of Xinye could not support him alone and led Guan and Zhang back to Xinye overnight.

In fact, this was also Jia Xu's plan, and he unexpectedly saved Liu Bei!

After receiving the information from Mrs. Cai, Jia Xu thought that Liu Biao might pass the throne or entrust his or her orphan. If this matter is really implemented, it will not be a good thing. Jia Xu naturally needs to find a way to destroy it.

Because of fame and face, as long as Liu Qi himself does not present Jingzhou to Cao Cao, even those who secretly talk to Jia Xu will not dare to turn to Cao Cao blatantly. After all, no one is willing to do it for the seller to seek honor and mortals. Jia Xu is going to waste all his previous efforts!

Jia Xu had a plan and secretly informed Cai Mao that once he found out that Liu Biao summoned Liu Bei, he would go in and report the military information, saying that Cao Cao was going to attack Xinye.

In fact, it is not a lie to report military information, because the troops led by Xiahou Dun have already set out from Xuchang, and it will not take long to reach Ye County.

Liu Biao was ill and was very surprised to hear this letter. This time he was afraid that he would have many dreams at night and no longer hesitate. He quickly wrote a document to pass on the throne and asked Xuande to assist his eldest son Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao asked the waiter to summon Jingzhou officials and announced his decision. At the same time, he discussed appointing the candidates for Jiangxia County Governor to replace Liu Qi to preside over the overall situation.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Liu Biao has never revealed his plan, his last conversation with Liu Bei was leaked, and even Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, already knew about it.

Because Mrs. Cai had too many people installed at home, Liu Biao's last conversation with Liu Bei did not disperse his servants, and the waiter learned to Mrs. Cai without missing a word.

Liu Biao's idea of ​​asking Liu Bei to assist Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou reached Mrs. Cai's ears.

Mrs. Cai was furious when she heard this. She had a big fight with Liu Biao at night, but there was no result because Liu Biao did not change his mind, but just wanted to compensate Liu Cong and the Cai family.

Mrs. Cai asked someone to call her younger brother Cai Mao and nephew Zhang Yun to discuss it together, but she was helpless!

Because at that time, the inheritance of power and property was focused on status and status. The so-called "If the name is not upright, the words will not be smooth!" Without Liu Biao's approval, Liu Cong would not have become the lord of Jingzhou.

Mrs. Cai had no choice. She originally wanted to sharpen her mouth with Liu Biao to see if things could turn around.

Who knew that in the past few days, Liu Biao had hidden in the study room and did not come out, and the person who guarded the study room was replaced by Liu Biao's true confidant, and Mrs. Cai could not even see his people.

Mrs. Cai knew that Liu Biao was determined to make Liu Qi the lord of Jingzhou. If this was the case, the good days for her and the Cai family would be over in the future!

Because she had offended Liu Qi and Liu Bei so badly, she didn't want Liu Qi to take office and then attack the Cai family!

Although Mrs. Cai is very cautious in daily life, she still has no idea when encountering major events. She lets her confidant inform Jia Xu about these situations.

Jia Xu was not surprised to receive the information from Mrs. Cai. As he expected, what was coming was finally here!

After pondering for a long time, he decided to report to Cao Cao and suggested launching the long-prepared Nanxing Plan.

In fact, since the end of last year, Cao Cao has been preparing for the southern expedition after the autumn harvest this year, but he has not set a specific date yet.

Although it is a critical moment for the autumn harvest, the battlefield was chosen in the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, which had little impact on Cao Cao.

In early July, Cao Cao received Jia Xu's official document and immediately discussed it with his advisers. He accepted Jia Xu's opinion.

Cao Cao acted vigorously and gathered some troops. He first sent Xiahou Dun to lead the army to take shortcuts and move forward lightly, and quickly reached Wan and Ye.

In late July, Cao Cao led his army south, while Jia Xu had already arrived in Jingzhou and presided over the matter of allowing Liu Cong to take office as the governor of Jingzhou.

Jia Xu received the news that Cao Cao decided to fight in the south and immediately began to implement the actions he had planned long ago.

He sent the message to Mrs. Cai, asking the Cai family to put Liu Biao under house arrest, and spread the news that Liu Biao was seriously ill, and prevented him from sending the document that the position of the governor of Jingzhou to Liu Qi.

In the letter, Jia Xu promised that as long as Liu Biao had not yet made Liu Qi the lord of Jingzhou, Liu Cong's superiority would be held in him.

Mrs. Cai received Jia Xu's guarantee and quickly notified Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to seize the outer door of Liu's mansion, and people were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving.

Liu Qi guarded Jiangxia. When he learned that his father was critically ill, he came to Jingzhou to visit him. Before he reached the outer door, Cai Mao blocked him and said:

"The young master was ordered by his father to guard Jiangxia, and his responsibilities were very important. Now he left his post without permission. If the Eastern Wu soldiers arrived, what would happen? If you come to see the lord, the lord will be angry and his illness will increase. It is not filial piety. It is better to return quickly."

Liu Qi was originally weak in character, and was robbed by Cai Mao and did not dare to disobey him. He stood outside the door and cried, but got on the horse and returned to Jiangxia...

Liu Biao was in critical condition and could not get up in bed. On August 1999, he waited for Liu Qi to come and called him but refused to respond. He knew that he was under house arrest by Cai. He was shocked and angry and screamed several times and died.

Jia Xu's chess piece in Jingzhou was not the only one of Mrs. Cai. He sent someone to make a wish to Kuai Yue, Fu Xun, Liu Xian, Wang Can and others, and let them join Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others to support Liu Cong as the governor of Jingzhou.
