Although Cao Ang's army was rigorously trained, no soldier would take the initiative to attack a small character like Liu Cong.

Cao Ang took Liu Cong all the way to the Chinese army's tent. Liu Cong looked around and saw that except Cao Ang and a few generals, there was no one else at all.

Cao Ang looked at Liu Cong who was full of doubts and said, "General Liu, are you still worried?"

Liu Cong shook his head and cursed in his mind, "We're already here, so what's the use of doubting you?"

"Then let's invite General Liu to have a drink to warm himself up." Cao Ang picked up the wine bottle on the table.

Liu Cong glanced at Cao Ang suspiciously, then picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

Cao Ang burst out laughing when he saw this: "What? Isn't General Liu afraid of me poisoning him?"

"Haha..." Liu Cong smiled and said, "General Cao, you won't do such a stupid thing. After all, you won't get any benefits if I die."

"Smart." Cao Ang praised.

"Since General Liu is so sensible, I won't talk nonsense. Let's talk about business. What is the situation inside Jingzhou now?" Cao Ang said, putting away his smile.

Liu Cong sighed and said: "Well, I won't hide it from you. Now my father has handed over the power of government affairs to Liu Qi. He spends all day drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, waking up to take charge of the world. Not to mention how carefree he is today."

"I see. Then why does General Liu want to see me?" Cao Ang asked knowingly.

Liu Cong said: "I would like to ask General Cao to help me eradicate Liu Qi. The conditions are easy to negotiate."

"Oh?" Cao Ang glanced at Liu Cong in surprise, and then said, "General Liu actually wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

"Master Cao, please don't misunderstand. I am worried that after Liu Qi usurps the throne, it will cause harm to Jingzhou." Liu Cong explained quickly.

"I know this, but as far as I know, Liu Qi's power is not something to worry about." Cao Ang said.

Liu Cong said: “There will always be some people in this world that we cannot understand.

Liu Qi not only has many party members in Jingzhou, but also has attracted many powerful people. Now Liu Qi's power is already huge, and we may not be able to resist it for long. "

"With the support of Mr. Cao, Liu Qi will definitely lose!" Liu Cong continued: "As long as Mr. Cao agrees, our two families can definitely oust Liu Qi from power!"

"General Liu is too naive." Cao Ang said contemptuously: "Do you think Liu Qi is a fool? He must have taken precautions long ago. If we launch an attack rashly, we will definitely suffer setbacks."

"What does Mr. Cao mean?" Liu Cong asked tentatively.

Cao Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "General Liu, does he remember that Yuan Shu's envoys arrived in Jingzhou in March?"

"Remember." Liu Cong nodded: "He brought Yuan Shu's order."

"Yuan Shu ordered Liu Qi to attack Jiangling, and appointed Liu Qi as the next governor of Jingnan County to assist Liu Biao in governing Jingnan." Cao Ang's words were surprising.

"How could Yuan Shu issue such an order?" Liu Cong cried out in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of this matter.

"General Liu, don't be nervous. I just learned about this news. Otherwise, how could I tell you now?" Cao Ang said.

"That's why Liu Qi is so confident. This is why your father handed over the power to him." Cao Ang continued his analysis.

Liu Cong gritted his teeth and wanted to kill Liu Qi immediately, because he always felt that the other party had taken away his things.

"General Liu, we can make an alliance." Cao Ang suddenly threw out a sweet date and said, "After defeating Liu Qi, I guarantee that you will become the governor of Jingzhou. How about this deal?"

Liu Cong frowned. The temptation offered by Cao Ang was indeed very attractive, especially when he lacked troops now.

"I wonder what price I have to pay?" Liu Cong asked after thinking for a long time. Cao Ang smiled and stretched out five fingers: "Pay me a tribute of 100,000 stones of grain and 5,000 war horses every year."

"So much?" Liu Cong's eyes widened. Cao Cao's appetite was greater than he imagined, and he actually wanted nearly 30% of Jingzhou's wealth at once.

"No!" Liu Cong categorically denied: "If you do this, I would rather not participate in the fight. Anyway, I will not get any benefit in the end."

"General Liu may have forgotten something. You are begging me now, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms." Cao Ang sneered and said, "General Liu should think carefully before making a decision."

Liu Cong took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Cao, you should know that although our Liu family has been operating in Jingzhou for several years.

But now that there have been years of war, it may be difficult to come up with that much money and food for a while. "

Cao Ang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about these General Liu, you just need to say whether you are willing or not."

"Mr. Cao, your request is too high. I'm sorry I can't agree to it." Liu Cong said firmly.

"Then forget it, you can go, I won't send you off." Cao Ang stood up and said.

"Master Cao" Liu Conggang was ready to play hard to get, but he didn't expect Cao Ang to refuse so directly and not give him a chance at all.

Liu Cong had no choice but to change his strategy and said: "Master Cao, aren't you afraid that we in Jingzhou will fight to the death with you?"

"Hahaha, you can give it a try, but according to the information I just got, there are only six or seven hundred elites left in Xiangyang City.

If you want to fight us with this small force, how do you think you have a chance of winning? "Cao Ang smiled mockingly.

"Mr. Cao, you" Liu Cong was choked.

Cao Ang said calmly: "I advise you to follow my plan honestly, otherwise our Cao family will not mind letting Jingzhou change its owner."

"How dare you threaten me!" Liu Cong was furious. He had never encountered a playboy as arrogant and domineering as Cao Ang. It was really unreasonable that you dared to threaten him.

"Whatever you think, but I believe you are not stupid." Cao Ang said slowly: "If you don't want Liu Qi to continue to hold power, then you'd better do as I say."

"You" Liu Cong suddenly became angry. He knew that this time he was facing a tough fight, and the other party had a strong background and he couldn't afford to offend him at all.

"I promise you!" Liu Cong gritted his teeth.

"Very good. Congratulations to General Liu for making the right decision. Then we will have a happy cooperation." Cao Ang smiled slightly.

"Hmph!" Liu Cong waved his sleeves and left, then quickly left Cao Ang's military camp.

"General, what should we do now?" the staff beside Liu Cong asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? We can only cooperate with them and get rid of Liu Qi first." Liu Cong said fiercely: "As for the rest, we will talk about it when the time comes."

"I understand," the staff member said.

"In addition, we have to be on guard against this Cao Ang. I always feel that he has a conspiracy. We must be careful." Liu Cong warned.

"I understand," the staff member said with a heavy nod.

the other side.

"General, Liu Cong has agreed, when will we take action?" a counselor asked in Cao Ang's tent.

Cao Ang showed a satisfied smile when he heard this: "In that case, let's make arrangements immediately, and our plan will be advanced in an orderly manner!" (End of Chapter)
