Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"Qingjun side!"

When Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei was shocked.

But soon.

Liu Bei understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

That is, under the banner of "clearing the imperial court".

Tell all the forces in Jingzhou, big and small.

The reason why I, Liu Bei, sent troops to attack Xiangyang this time.

It’s not that I, Liu Bei, want to oppose my brother Liu Biao.

Instead, there were bad people around Liu Biao.

I couldn't bear to see my brother's inheritance being stolen by bad people.

Only then could they send troops out with tears in their eyes.

As for who the bad guy is?

Needless to say, he was Cai Mao of the Cai family, who controlled the military and political power in Jingzhou.

Of course, if there are other forces in Jingzhou.

For example, the Kuai family, the Pang family, and the Huang family are not very tactful.

I don't mind destroying the Kuai family and other families at the same time as destroying the Cai family.

And wait until his army captured Xiangyang.

After controlling the entire Jingzhou.

Who will be in charge of Jingzhou then?

It’s up to you.

The thought of Zhuge Liang comes to mind in the blink of an eye.

I found such a good reason for myself.

At this moment, Liu Bei felt a burning sensation in his chest.

"only……"

Suddenly, Liu Bei hesitated to speak.

After a moment, Liu Bei said seriously:

"Military Advisor, originally, I shouldn't interfere with your plan, but Liu Jingsheng has done me a favor after all. If we capture Xiangyang, can you spare his life?"

"Of course. Our purpose in traveling south to Xiangyang this time is to help Liu Jingsheng eliminate the evildoers around him. If Liu Jingsheng dies, how will the people of the world view you? Please let it go. As for Liu Jingsheng's whereabouts, I am free to make the arrangements!"

Zhuge Liang said with great righteousness.

What Zhuge Liang didn't say was, "If Liu Biao is ignorant, I wouldn't mind burning down Liu's mansion and making him disappear..."

Of course, Zhuge Liang would not say these words to Liu Bei at this moment.

At least, Zhuge Liang would not tell Liu Bei until Liu Bei had completely secured his control of Jingzhou.

As a subordinate.

The most important thing is to help the lord solve the problem.

Instead of throwing the problem to the lord and making him embarrassed!

"In that case, I would like to thank the military advisor on behalf of Brother Jingsheng!"

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Liu Bei quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

……

Xinye County.

In the county government office.

At this moment, Cai Zhong was sitting high in the hall where Liu Bei usually gave orders.

Listening to the county magistrate reporting to him on the work progress of the past few days.

The so-called work progress.

It's nothing more than how much food and wages were collected today;

How many people have fled today in the entire county?

How many people have been brought back today by the soldiers I sent out?

……

As the county magistrate spoke more and more.

Cai Zhong became obviously impatient.

He, Cai Zhong, is Cai Mao's cousin.

The reason why Cai Mao sent him to take over Xinye this time.

Firstly, it gives him the opportunity to achieve success.

With this achievement, when Cai Zhong returns to Xiangyang, Cai Mao will have a reason to help him gain a high position in the army.

Secondly, it was to completely eliminate Liu Bei's influence in Xinye.

In the past few years, Liu Bei has been living in a small county in Xinye.

But in Cai Mao's opinion, Liu Bei has not been honest at all in recent years.

Externally, Liu Bei actively made friends with major forces and celebrities in Jingzhou.

Internally, Liu Bei actively trained soldiers and won over the hearts of the people.

In just a few years, the title of "Xinye Mu" became popular in Xinye County.

This is something Cai Mao cannot tolerate!

You said you were a guest, yet you caused such a big commotion in Xinye. You said you had no intentions towards Jingzhou. Who would believe you???

Therefore, before sending Cai Zhong to Xinye to seize power.

Cai Mao only gave Cai Zhong one task.

That is - eliminate Liu Bei's influence in Xinye at all costs!

This is why.

Cai Zhonggang took over Xinye.

Just when so many things happened in Xinye that angered people.

In Cai Zhong's opinion.

The people of Xinye today.

They were all bribed by Liu Bei and are all traitors.

If it weren't for the Cai family's reputation.

Cai Zhong had already ordered his army to start a massacre!

……

"In Xixiang Village, five miles outside Xinye City, there was a family who refused to pay taxes and killed the soldiers who came to collect them. They have now been detained!"

The county magistrate's words caught Cai Zhong's attention.

"You thief, you dare to resist paying taxes? Damn it, damn it!"

When Cai Zhong heard the news, he was immediately furious.

Then he snatched the copy from the county magistrate.

After seeing that the person who killed the soldiers was just a nine-year-old shepherd boy, Cai Mao was stunned for a few seconds.

"Humph! They say oranges grown south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges. Liu Xuande's rule has produced such unruly people. He truly possesses unparalleled benevolence!"

Cai Zhong immediately started to mock.

"County Magistrate Wang, take this child to the gate of the county government office. At the same time, have the soldiers call all the citizens in the city. This general will execute this child in front of the entire county... No, I want Liu Feng to skin this child alive in front of the entire county!"

"Isn't Liu Xuande known for his unparalleled benevolence? I'm going to have his son skin this kid alive for me!"

Cai Zhong's eyes flashed, and he instantly thought of a vicious plan.

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate!"

After hearing Cai Zhong's order, the county magistrate hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

County Magistrate Wang is a native of Xinye.

He was promoted to the position of county magistrate by Liu Bei.

The reason why he defected to Cai Zhong was simply because he was forced by the situation.

When Cai Zhong said he wanted to skin the shepherd boy alive, County Magistrate Wang felt resistance.

When Wang Xiancheng heard Cai Zhong say that Liu Feng should be the surgeon, he immediately refused.

Things that have nothing to do with Liu Bei's family.

Wait until Liu Bei comes back.

He could also put all the blame on Cai Zhong.

But once Liu Feng is involved.

County Magistrate Wang had to be cautious.

He lived for over forty years by being extremely cautious!

"Snapped!"

As soon as County Magistrate Wang finished speaking.

He was slapped hard by Cai Zhong.

"If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. If you don't want to die, do what this general tells you now!"

Cai Zhong said coldly.

"I obey my orders!"

County Magistrate Wang quickly agreed.

……

In the dark and damp county jail.

In the deepest cell.

Liu Feng, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang were imprisoned here.

The three of them today.

He no longer has the same high spirits as before.

A scarred body.

It was silent proof that the three of them had not had a good time recently.

When County Magistrate Wang told the three of them Cai Zhong's order.

The three of them were shocked.

"How dare Cai Zhong's son treat the people this way? Isn't the Cai family really afraid of arousing public outrage?"

Liu Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Master Feng, I advise you to obey. He told me to tell you that if you are unwilling to do it, not only this child will be skinned alive, but also Lord Xuande's daughter!"

County Magistrate Wang persuaded Liu Feng.

"What the hell!!!"

When he heard that Cai Zhong actually used Liu Bei's daughter as a threat.

Liu Feng was furious.

Guan Ping was also furious at this moment.

As for Zhou Cang, he didn't say anything at this moment.

But the tiger's eyes were already filled with blood.

No one expected it.

Cai Zhong was a descendant of the Cai family in Jingzhou.

What they did was so despicable!

……

It is now the tenth year of Jian'an, which is also 205 AD.

At this time, although Liu Bei had no biological son, he already had two biological daughters.

After Liu Feng took the initiative to surrender to Cai Zhong.

Although Cai Zhong captured Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others and put them in prison.

But for the families of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

But he was not arrested or imprisoned.

Instead, they drove them all to one mansion and surrounded it with heavy troops.

The reason why Cai Zhong did this.

It’s not that Cai Zhong has a good heart.

But this era has its own set of unspoken rules.

That is, the disaster will not affect parents, wife and children!

Thanks to this unspoken rule.

Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Gan, Liu Bei's daughter and other female relatives were thus spared from imprisonment.

At this moment, when he heard Cai Zhong actually using Liu Bei's daughter as a threat.

Liu Feng and the other two could no longer sit still.

"Wang County Magistrate, go tell Cai Zhong, the bastard, to come to me, Liu Feng, if he has anything to worry about. If he dares to touch my mother and my younger sister, I, Liu Feng, will never forgive him, no matter who is in heaven or on earth!"

Liu Feng said murderously.

"County Magistrate Wang, you were also promoted by your uncle. Are you going to sit by and watch your uncle's family be harmed by the scoundrel Cai Zhong?"

Guan Ping also had a frosty look on his face at this time.

"My two lords, it's not that I don't want to speak, it's mainly because it's useless for me to speak. Look, I just said a word for Master Feng, and I got slapped in the face like this. That bastard Cai Zhong said that if I don't obey, he will kill my whole family..."

County Magistrate Wang pointed to his cheek.

While deliberately making the matter sound serious.

Use this to remove yourself.

After hearing what County Magistrate Wang said.

Liu Feng and the other two were silent.

After a long time.

Guan Ping suddenly said:

"How about letting me kill that shepherd boy? I'm Guan Yu's adopted son, and I'll do it, and the effect will be the same!"

Hearing Guan Ping say this, Liu Feng couldn't help but pause, and then he felt happy.

The reason why Liu Feng was happy.

Mainly because he understood Liu Bei's character.

If I had taken the knife myself and killed the shepherd boy.

Wait until Liu Bei comes back one day.

Will definitely kill myself.

Pay for the shepherd boy's life.

This is not to say that Liu Bei was cold-blooded.

But this is how Liu Bei taught Liu Feng on a daily basis.

But if the person holding the knife is Guan Ping.

Liu Bei would definitely consider Guan Yu's face.

At the same time, I pleaded for mercy.

Guan Ping will definitely survive by then.

If you hold the knife yourself, you will die.

If Guan Ping holds the knife, both he and Guan Ping can survive.

Although Liu Feng was loyal and brave, he did not want to die.

Therefore after hearing Guan Ping's words.

Liu Feng was overjoyed.

Just when Liu Feng was about to agree.

Zhou Cang on the side said coldly:

"Since Cai Zhong specifically mentioned Master Feng, his purpose is to use this act of Master Feng to throw dirty water on the lord. He will not agree to Master Ping taking his place!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water.

The last glimmer of hope in Liu Feng's heart was instantly extinguished!
