Chapter 576 Cai Mao's determination
Chapter 576 Cai Mao’s determination (second update)
Man Chong was full of thoughts on this side, but Yu Jin and Gao Lan were relatively relaxed on the other side. Whether he could defend Kou Feng was the same thing.
But whether Cao Ren can be exchanged is another matter.
In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao fell into Kou Feng's plan. He was worried about Cao Ren and Cao Chun's comfort, and attacked Chibi, which Zhou Yu guarded.
It led to the defeat of Chibi. Cao Cao did not regret it.
It can be seen how much Cao Cao attaches great importance to these two clan brothers. If Cao Ren can be exchanged for this battle, although he will not be promoted, he will definitely be deeply happy with Cao Cao.
Especially Gao Lan, he was originally a general of Yuan Shao, unlike Yu Jin who followed Cao Cao to fight south and north. He knew very well how valuable it was to gain Cao Cao's trust.
Gao Lan almost had a happy expression.
"You should pay attention to the defense in the city. Let's go to see Cai Mao. You can't keep this matter hidden from him all the time, it's because we're sorry for him." After a moment, Yu Jin sighed.
Although Cai Mao had a son-in-law Kou Feng, that was not Cai Mao's fault. Instead, Cai Mao offered Xiangyang and Jiangling. With this determination, he told Cao Cao how determined he was to surrender to Cao Cao.
If he is not determined, he can join forces with Kuai Yue to give Xiangyang and Jiangling to Kou Feng. You must know that there would be a hundred thousand troops in Xiangyang at that time.
If Kou Feng's 100,000 army is added, and the 200,000 army is superimposed, it is enough to compete with Cao Cao. But Cai Mao did not.
Therefore, Cai Mao was Cao Cao's hero. But what was the result? Suspicion. When the enemy went north, Yu Jin was afraid that Cai Mao would cause trouble in the city, so he put Cai Mao's whole family under house arrest. After all, the Cai family still had some power. Not to mention anything else, they only talked about some domestic slaves, just ready-made soldiers. Yu Jin could only guard against Yu Weiran.
This time, it was even more ruthless. Yu Jin directly exchanged Cai Mao for Cao Ren. This was their fault. No matter what the reason was, what was difficult to describe. Yu Jin was sorry for Cai Mao.
Of course, before leaving, Yu Jin also felt that he should go and see Cai Mao and let him be mentally prepared.
"No." Gao Lan and Man Chong didn't think it was wrong. He couldn't help but answer.
Yu Jin nodded and walked out of the hall. After a while, he left the prefect's mansion and got on a carriage and walked towards Cai's mansion.
The Cai family, the former glorious Cai family. The Cai family, who used to be numerous allies in Jingzhou, had a great reputation and was almost the overlord of Jingzhou, is now a passing cloud.
Not only is the foyer deserted, but it is also very embarrassing.
The team of soldiers in front of the door were not protecting the Cai Mansion, but monitoring and guarding against the Cai Mansion. Now, even if a servant in the Cai Mao Mansion goes out, he will be investigated several times.
It can be seen how humiliating it is.
"It's hateful." In the hall, Cai Mao was lying on the desk drinking, while his wife looked down from the side. The former spirit disappeared, but now only sighs and hatred are left.
Can Cai Mao not hate him?
Such a good opportunity in the past was in front of him. He could already guess that Kou Feng, the son-in-law, might be unstoppable and able to resist Cao Cao.
Therefore, Cai Mao handed over Wenpin, the secret power of the clan, to Kou Feng.
But he didn't dare to defend himself. He thought about the Cai family and the Cai family. He could only put the eggs in two baskets. He led Xiangyang and Jiangling to surrender to Cao Cao.
As a result, he was so cautious that he was harmed. Not only was the glory gone, but Kou Feng was also under house arrest because he was outside.
How can Cai Mao not hate him?
If I had made more cruel in the past, I would have taken Xiangyang to join Kou Feng. How brilliant would it be?
But unfortunately, he did not expect that Kou Feng could not only resist Cao Cao, but also defeated Cao Cao with Zhou Yu and Liu Bei's power. Afterwards, he led his army north to defeat Zhou Yu and kill Liu Bei.
After that, he kept raising troops in Xiangyang and even threatened to hold troops in Xudu.
It is unstoppable, unstoppable. If he can be cruel, he can be cruel and ruthless. He will bring Xiangyang to join this son-in-law. Then he will kill Liu Bei who went south first. Based on the dangers of Hanchuan and the turbulent Xiangjiang River, it will be able to defeat Cao Cao.
What a pity. What a pity.
Of course, Cai Mao didn't know what he did, Kou Feng got more. Because of this war, Kou Feng destroyed Liu Bei, eliminated Sun Quan's last tens of thousands of elite troops, and drove away Cao Cao.
I got a period of weakness in Cao Cao and could rise sharply.
Now Cai Mao is only full of regret, and does not trust this son-in-law more, and is more towards this son-in-law. If it were the first, if it were the first.
Cai Mao thought bitterly.
"Don't be bothered. The past is over. Even if you regret it, it's useless. Now you should think of a way to deal with the current crisis. Then Yu Jin really treats us as thieves. Maybe we will be cruel to our family, and our family will be." Mrs. Cai next to her was not good-looking, and she kept wiping her tears as she spoke.
"Hmph? Is it useful to kill me? If Xiangyang is in danger, even if I kill me, there will be Kuai Yue. Although I have not avoided Cao Cao's suspicion in these years, I rarely interact with Kuai Yue. But that is a sensible person. When Xiangyang City is about to be destroyed, he will not surrender to my son-in-law. He is not Kuai Yue. Yu Jin killed me, which will only make the city break faster." Cai Mao said disdainfully.
"But the lives of our family." He and Mrs. Cai were not as open-minded as Cai Mao, and his eyes were red.
"What are you afraid of? Haven't I sent Qing'er out? After that kid Kou Feng receives the news, he can still stay with this brother-in-law. He will enjoy more happiness than us in the rest of his life." Cai Mao said open-mindedly.
Qing'er is his legitimate son and youngest son of Mrs. Cai. In order to prevent Yu Weiran, Cai Mao sent the youngest son out in the early days of Koufeng's war.
I will use the son of a slave to count, and the gods will not know it.
There is still blood outside, so Cai Mao is not afraid. Just as Cai Mao said just now, if their family is killed, then he will be the only brother-in-law. Kou Feng will definitely not treat him indifferently.
If Yu Jinzhen killed their whole family, Kuai Yue would be there and Kou Feng would avenge them.
Cai Mao looked full of hatred.
The whole family was under house arrest, which was a great humiliation, and a great humiliation.
Just as Cai Mao was gritting his teeth, a servant came to report that Yu Jin was asking for a meeting outside the door. Cai Mao immediately shuddered and said to Mrs. Cai next to him, "Go and get a bowl of water and prepare the toiletries."
Then, he said to the person who came to report: "Please invite Yu Jin to the hall. He said I will arrive in a moment."
"No." The servant responded and walked down immediately. Mrs. Cai also began to prepare for Cai Mao.
Although Cai Mao was not afraid of life and death, he did not want to die in vain. In the mansion, you can complain and vent your hatred in front of your wife, but in front of Jin, Cai Mao would never do that unless he kicked a donkey.
After a while, Cai Mao rinsed his mouth and cleaned it. After feeling a little refreshed, he set out to the hall.
Yu Jin had been waiting for a while now, but he didn't wait long. Therefore, Cai Mao was not considered rude.
"I have met Mr. Degui." Seeing Cai Mao come in, Yu Jin saluted Cai Mao politely.
"The general is too polite." Cai Mao said to Yu Jin with a smile on his face. Then he got up and came to the upper head, sat down, and asked Yu Jin: "Now the army outside the city is pressing forward, and the general is not dispatching the army in the mansion, why did he come to me?"
This made Yu Jin a little embarrassed. Now he was selling you. Otherwise, he would not come to the door. The so-called "no entry to the Three Treasures Palace" is not enough. This is the reason.
"Now, the son-in-law Kou Feng's troops are strong and there is a situation of separatist rule. I wonder if he has the intention to go south?" Yu Jin asked tactfully.
He just didn't want to be too embarrassed. But Cai Mao obviously didn't think it was that meaning. When his color changed, he almost sweared to the sky: "My heart is for Ming Gong, and the sky can be seen."
It was not just a change of color, it was like a cold sweat. If you said the wrong thing, it would be a disaster for the killing of the clan. At this time, Cai Mao really regretted his intestines.
If I had known today, why would I have been there?
Seeing that Cai Mao misunderstood his meaning, Yu Jin smiled bitterly. It seemed that it would not work to tell Cai Mao tactfully. Yu Jin could only say in a deep voice: "Sir, can you tell that the three beloved generals of Cao Gong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and Xu Huang, were all in Kou Feng's hands?"
Yu Jin's change made Cai Mao feel uncomfortable. But he vaguely guessed Yu Jin's intentions in his heart. He even hated him even more. I sold Xiangyang and Jiangling to you. Now, he is going to threaten Kou Feng.
He was angry, but Cai Mao pretended to be ignorant and said, "I know a little about this."
"Since that's the case, I'll just say it. Now Kou Feng plans to exchange General Cao Ren from the tomb of the three generals to go to the south for Mr. His filial piety is meticulous. Should I consider it?" Yu Jin asked.
Haven't you decided? What are you thinking about? Cai Mao sneered in his heart. Kou Feng wanted to invite them to live in the south. It was clearly Cao Cao who wanted to exchange for the return of his confidant general, so he sold him.
Sooner or later, you will suffer the consequences. Cai Mao glared at Yu Jin in his heart, and was very hated. But he nodded with awareness on his face and said, "Everything will be arranged by the general."
Cai Mao was still insured. He was afraid that Yu Jin was testing his loyalty to Cao Cao, or simply wanted to frame him. Anyway, everything was decided by the general.
General, if you ask me to go east, I will go east. General, if you ask me to go back, I will go back.
Although Cai Mao lost his power, he was very cunning.
"The so-called gentleman has the beauty of becoming an adult. Since Kou Feng wants to take his husband back, I will naturally not stop him. Ten days later, I will personally send him to the south." Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, General." Cai Mao said respectfully.
Immediately, the two chatted for a few more irrelevantly. Yu Jin stood up and said goodbye. Cai Mao personally sent Yu Jin away.
"I bully people too much, I bully people too much. Isn't my son-in-law easy to meet? How could I be a decoration? Sooner or later, I will let you die here." After Cai Mao came back, he was very angry and cursed in a low voice.
I made up my mind to make Yu Jin hate him here.
