Chapter 51: The Corner Pryer(1/2)
Let's say that the rebellion in Xiangyang City has been completely suppressed. Fortunately, no major problems occurred. After everyone entered the city, Liu Biao also rushed back home as soon as possible, while Cai Shi drank calmly and calmly as if nothing had happened.
Drinking tea.
"You are quite magnanimous, why don't you run away?"
Facing Liu Biao's question, Cai asked calmly
"What did I do? Why did I run away?"
"Hmph! Are you still pretending like this? Zhang Yun has already told me everything, and Cai Mao has also run away."
"What does what they do have to do with me?"
"Without your nod, would they dare to do this? I really don't understand, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are both my sons, why do you favor one over the other? Just because Liu Cong married your niece? Just for the sake of your Cai family in the future.
Do you want to monopolize Jingzhou?"
"Now that the master has told me the answer, what else do you have to ask? If I want to kill or behead him, isn't it all a matter of your words?"
"Let me ask you one last question. Does Liu Cong know your plan?"
"Before I even had time to inform you, the plan had already failed."
Hearing that Liu Cong didn't know about this, Liu Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Cai
"Back then, Jingzhou was torn apart, and I had no one to rely on, so I ventured into Jingzhou alone. Fortunately, with the help of the Cai family, I was able to stabilize the counties and become the leader of Jingzhou. I, Liu Biao, am not a wolf-hearted, disrespectful young man.
I will send someone to take you home. From now on, all previous grievances will be wiped out. Zirou, please arrange a carriage and horse to give her a ride."
"promise"
"Madam, please come with me."
Kuai Liang respectfully invited Cai, and Cai stood up calmly, but followed Kuai Liang without saying a word or looking back... Liu Biao raised his head, sighed thoughtfully, and faced Huang
Zu said
"Go and call Liu Cong to see me."
"promise!"
After receiving the order, Huang Zu went immediately. Within a moment, he brought Liu Cong over. Seeing Liu Biao sitting on the stool, Liu Cong also shouted excitedly
"Father! Are you okay?!"
"Cong'er, let me ask you, what have you been doing during this time?"
"As always, reading and writing"
"Then how did Cai Mao tell you about me?"
"He said that my eldest brother colluded with the Yellow Turban Thief, and my father was so angry that he vomited blood. I wanted to visit my father, but he said that my father was as angry as thunder and would not let me go. He was afraid that my father would vent his anger on my eldest brother on me and wait for my father.
When your anger subsides, let me pass.”
"Then let me ask you, if I plan to let you take over the position of governor of Jingzhou, are you willing?"
Hearing Liu Biao say this, Liu Cong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Why did my father say this? As the saying goes, the position of governor should go to the eldest brother!"
"But what if your eldest brother really colludes with the Yellow Turban?"
"Impossible. My eldest brother has taught me since I was a child that I must be filial to my parents and love the people. How could I be such a loyal and filial person and collude with thieves and bandits!"
"Do you really think so?"
"My child, I swear to God, if I say anything false, the sky will strike with thunder!"
Seeing that Liu Cong had reached this point, Liu Biao finally felt relieved.
"Cong'er, get up quickly"
"Thank you father"
"Cong'er, please don't blame me, it's just that I have to confirm to feel at ease."
"I understand. I have heard more or less what happened last night. It is reasonable for my father to do this."
…
While the father and son were talking, a soldier came over to report
"Your lord, generals Wenpin and Gan Ning are back."
"Cong'er, you should go back first. My father has something to deal with."
"Then I'll take my leave first. I hope my father will take care of himself."

In Liu Biao and Huang Zu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Before arriving, the three Wendu men had already met Gan Ning and Wenpin, and Sun Jian, who had come from Changsha, finally arrived in a hurry.
Wen Du looked at Gan Ning carefully. He had bird feathers on his head, tattoos on his body, and the iconic bell tied around his waist. He looked heroic. Only the word "fashion" could summarize him. At first, Wen Du thought
Baidu said it was fake, but I didn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.
"Why do you keep looking at me, uncle? Do you want to fight?"
Feeling Wen Du's gaze, Gan Ning also became a little impatient.
"No, no, general, don't be offended. It's just that I heard that the general is known as the "Jinfan Thief" before. I am lucky enough to meet him today, so I look at the general like this. Please forgive me, general."
Hearing Wen Du praising him so much and seeing his attitude so respectful, Gan Ning changed his normal attitude and said stupidly
"Oh? So I'm so famous?"
Seeing Gan Ning like this, Wen Du was also happy.
[Well, just like Sun Ben, he is a good deceiver...]
"What's your name?"
"My name is Wen Du, and this is my lord, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha; these two are Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, both of whom are my friends."
Wen Du introduced Gan Ning in order.
"I heard from Brother Seti that you are very strong. If you have a chance in the future, can you spar with me?"
Faced with Sun Ce's thoughts, Gan Ning was naturally not afraid.
"No problem! But I won't show mercy."
"That's what I asked for!"
…
While the group was chatting, Liu Biao and Huang Zu finally came over. Everyone clasped their fists and saluted Liu Biao.
"Meet the Governor"
"Everyone, please don't be too polite. The reason why I came back safe and sound this time is all because of your ability to share the same enemy. With you here, I will be able to ensure peace in Jingzhou and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir"
"I wonder if Cai Mao can be captured?"
When Liu Biao asked, Wenpin answered him with an apologetic tone.
"Back to my lord, the general is incompetent and let Cai Hao run away."
Liu Biao had not expressed his position yet, but Huang Zu, who was standing behind him, was a little impatient.
"What? The troops I gave you are not inferior to Cai Mao's. Besides, you two generals are taking the lead. Even so, you still haven't caught it?!"
Hearing Huang Zu's anger, Gan Ning just reached out and took out his ears, and replied casually.
"Then you didn't tell us that reinforcements would be coming. That should be your fault for not catching them."
After hearing Gan Ning's words, Huang Zu was immediately ignited with anger.
"Talk back to your superiors in public, Gan Ning, is this how you talk to me?"
Huang Zu brought out the concept of superior and subordinate suppression, but Gan Ning still looked carefree and said
"I really didn't expect that you, a descendant of the Huang family, would be so narrow-minded. Can you not listen to the rebuttals of your subordinates?"
It can only be said that Gan Ning is worthy of being Gan Ning. He has been dancing in the minefield. Huang Zu's face changed from a slightly sullen look to a clearly visible anger. In order to prevent any accidents, Wen Du hurriedly interrupted.
"Okay, you two, don't be angry. Since things are already like this, there is no point in arguing anymore, right? This matter is my fault. I underestimated the enemy and did not consider the reinforcements. I want Gan Ning to
, the two generals Wenpin must have chosen to withdraw because the war situation was at a disadvantage at that time, right?"
Hearing Wen Du's conjecture, Gan Ning nodded in agreement and then said
"This brother is still sensible. Half of our ship was burned at that time. If we didn't retreat, we would have died there long ago."
This was the fact. Although Huang Zu wanted to refute, he couldn't find any reason to speak, so he stopped talking. Wen Du continued to ask.
"I wonder where the reinforcements came from? Are they from Yuan Shu?"
To be continued...
