The news that Liu Qi went out of the city to chase down the bandits reached Cai Mao's ears. Cai Mao was very surprised and summoned Pang Ji, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to discuss matters in the mansion.

Cai Mao looked a little annoyed, and said in a rough voice: "Pang Gong, the messenger who went to Nanyang has been back for many days, why hasn't there been any news of Wenpin dispatching troops?"

"What did the messenger say?" Pang Ji also felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Liu Qi had already offended the people of Wenjiazhuang, blocked the aisle of the coffin, and killed more than [-] people in the village. Cai Mao had personally sent a letter to Liu Qi The pursuit of Wenjiazhuang will massacre the villagers. Anyone who hears the news of such an extinct family will be furious. There is no reason for Wenpin to stand still?

"Come on, hurry up and call the messenger." Cai Mao asked the guards to send the messenger to Nanyang so as not to be unclear.

"Greetings, General." The messenger who came was slightly thin, with the air of a messenger.

Cai Mao hummed, and said, "You will tell Duke Pang about the fact that you went to Nanyang to see General Wenpin in person."

"Yes." The messenger replied, and turned to look at Pang Ji.

Pang Ji shaved his beard and asked calmly: "Let me ask you, when General Wen received the letter, did he open it and read it on the spot?"

"When I arrived at the Nanyang army tent, I handed the letter from the general's personal soldiers to General Wen, and stated my intention. General Wen angrily tore down the letter, and after reading it, he was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped off the desk on the spot. I'm afraid he was really angry." The messenger replied to Pang. Season's words, don't forget to comment in due course.

Pang Ji nodded, thinking he wouldn't call the general if he didn't get angry, and asked, "Did General Wen say anything?"

The messenger said: "General Wen's sword splitting the table case, he only said one sentence, the shame of killing the family is extremely shameful, so he went out of the tent angrily and wanted to send troops back to Xiangyang, but was persuaded by his subordinate generals, saying that he would send troops to Nanyang easily, and Yuan Shao would surely be defeated." Invasion, if Nanyang is lost, it will not only punish the nine clans, but also end up being rebellious and disloyal forever."

Hearing the envoy's words, Pang Ji had a premonition that Wen Pin's dispatch of troops was not optimistic, and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect that General Wen would have such insightful people under his tent. No wonder he didn't send troops immediately."

"Yes, General Wen sent me back with a generous gift, and also said to thank General Cai for his timely help. When I return to Nanyang to worship the elders of the clan, I will thank General in person." The messenger felt that he should be rewarded for successfully completing the task assigned by Cai Mao. And he was tired of Pang Ji's endless questioning, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Oh, I see, you go down." Pang Ji waved his hand at the messenger, and the messenger withdrew humbly. It now seems unlikely."

"Oh, I've been waiting for so long. If I knew this, I should have sent a thousand troops to pretend to be Wenjiazhuang villagers to fight Liu Qi in the village. I just took the opportunity to kill Liu Qi." Cai Mao sighed, convinced Wenjiazhuang Hiring will not send troops, and there is a sense of frustration of missing a good opportunity.Not to mention, Cai Mao could think of a plan to kill Liu Qi by pretending to be a Wenjiazhuang person, which shows that Cai Mao is not a brave and foolish person.

Pang Ji sneered at Cai Mao's idea of ​​killing people with a knife. One must know that Liu Qi used justice to kill bandits and bandits, while in Luanwengang, a dozen or so guards scattered thousands of troops. How can Zhuang Min compete with Liu Qi?What's more, Liu Qi already has two hundred soldiers.

Although Pang Ji disdained Cai Mao's strategy in his heart, he did not forget to compliment a few words on his face: "The general is wise, pretending to be a villager to kill the son Liu Qi, this plan is very clever, he was negligent in the next moment, did not consider it, and missed the opportunity."

Hearing Pang Ji's compliment, Cai Hao's complexion became better, and he waved his hand generously: "Forget it, Mr. Pang, don't blame yourself, just think about it in the long run."

"Yes." Pang Ji looked at Cai Mao gratefully, rolled his eyes, and seemed to have a plan, "General, I heard that Young Master Liu Qi led two hundred soldiers to suppress bandits outside the city, and the road in front of the Young Master's mansion was closed a few days ago. Okay, it can be concluded that there must be a change in the mansion, and we have been kept in the dark about what the change is. At this time, the son's mansion is empty, so we can send someone in the name of the mother of the Majiazhuang maid who Hua Tuo rescued to treat the son. Liu Qi expressed his gratitude and brought some souvenirs to the house to pay his respects."

"Well, good idea." Cai Mao looked at Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, "Which one of you will go?"

"I'll go." Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng felt suffocated when they thought about the time when they were so scared that they peed in Liu Qi's mansion. This time Liu Qi was not in the mansion, so they could just relax in front of those guards.

"Okay, just the two of you, bring some local specialties from the farm and go to the Prince's Mansion." Cai Mao has a friendly face, and he regards Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng very highly. Although Zhang and Chen are from bandits, they are very loyal He rushed to the front in everything, which distracted Cai Mao a lot.

"Both of you, don't allow yourself to only listen to the facts, and don't cause trouble. It's the beginning of the young master Liu Qi's appointment, and the time when the lord values ​​it. If you make a mistake and provoke the lord's anger, you will miss the general's important affairs. The two generals hurry back , the general and I are waiting for your news." Pang Ji repeatedly urged.

"Yes, Mr. Pang, don't worry." Zhang and Chen responded in unison, and quickly walked out of Cai Mao's General Zhonglang's meeting room.

"Come here, let's set the chess." Seeing Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng walking out of the conference hall, Cai Mao was in a good mood, ordered the guards to set the chess, and stepped down to Pang Ji with a smile: "Mr. Pang, come here, kill a man." plate."

When it comes to chess, Cai Mao is not Pang Ji's opponent at all, but when the two play chess, most of them end in a draw. Occasionally Cai Mao wins a few games, but Pang Ji rarely wins. Therefore, when Cai Mao is in a good mood, he often invites Pang Ji to play chess.

An hour later, Cai Mao and Pang Ji were in high spirits, but they saw Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng entering Cai Mao's meeting room with their heads down, looking depressed. The expression was wrong, and he said displeasedly: "What's the situation in the son's mansion?"

"Report to the general, the two of us prepared some farm specialties, and took three or two old people to the son's mansion, but I didn't expect them to let them in." Zhang Hu reluctantly complained.

"They took the things, but people didn't let them in. They said that the young master had ordered that the bandits would be suppressed soon, and that no one outside the house would be allowed to enter. I followed Pang Gong's words and didn't dare to make trouble, so I came back and reported to the general." Chen Sheng Be truthful.

"It's unreasonable." Cai Mao said angrily, his good mood was frustrated by Zhang Chen's few words, and he just used an excuse to let his servant withdraw from the chessboard that was about to be lost by Pang Ji's checkmate.

Pang Ji was not in a hurry, and asked calmly: "You two generals, don't be angry. This is a special military occasion for Young Master Liu Qi. It's justifiable not to enter the mansion. It's just that you haven't entered the mansion, can you hear something strange?"

Pang Ji knew that things were not that simple. Liu Qi dared to assassinate the Wenjiazhuang mob who disturbed the Young Master's Mansion, so he knew that it was not so easy to enter the Young Master's Mansion at a critical moment.

"It's a bit strange. According to my observation, anyone who makes loud noises or makes noise in front of the prince's mansion is scolded and driven away by the guards. It seems that there are important people in the mansion or something that cannot be disturbed at all. I don't know what happened. "Chen Shengxiang recounted in detail what he had seen and heard before going to Liu Qi's mansion, which was consistent with the news reported by Cai Mao's spies who placed surveillance around Liu Qi's mansion.

"What important personnel? Could it be that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to Jiangnan for a private visit? Impossible, a kid who is only eight years old doesn't have such wisdom." Cai Mao thought to himself, the more he couldn't figure out what happened in Liu Qi's mansion. What happened, the more I want to know.Cai Mao's viciousness came up, and he thought that he really couldn't figure it out, so he hid in the prince's mansion under the pretense of a fugitive and led his troops to rush in to find out what was going on.

However, although Cai Mao has strong ideas, he still has scruples about Liu Biao. The consequences of forcibly rushing to the son's house will intensify the conflict between Cai Hao and Liu Biao, and will make Liu Biao's subordinates feel jealous of Cai Mao, and will not marry him in the future. It is not good for his nephew Liu Cong to be in charge of Jingzhou.

Cai Hao endured it, glanced at Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng with disdain, then looked at Pang Ji, and asked calmly: "I don't know anything like this, it's really annoying. There are strange things everywhere in the son's mansion, how does Mr. Pang feel about it?" ?”

Pang Ji thought for a while, and then suggested: "As the general said, there are strange things everywhere in the son's mansion, and there must be major changes. If you can't enter the mansion to find out what happened, it will also make the mansion uneasy. I have a plan. The manor doesn't keep his mouth shut. If Young Master Liu Qi makes a big move, the general will take the opportunity to rush into the mansion; if Young Master Liu Qi can bear it, I'm afraid he will be thrown into chaos."

"Mr. Pang, tell me quickly. What's the trick?" Cai Mao was very excited when he heard that Pang Ji had another trick to resist Liu Qi. He seemed to be a natural opponent with his nephew Liu Qi, and he insisted on putting Liu Qi to death and then hurrying.

"Yes." Pang Ji stepped down, bowed slightly to Cai Mao, shaved his beard, and said slowly: "The ancients said that all things are born and restrained by each other, and there is nothing in the world that cannot be cracked. Invincible."

"Hmph, mother-in-law, what a big deal..." Seeing Pang Ji shaking his head in front of Cai Mao, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng cursed inwardly, feeling very contemptuous.

Cai Mao had the patience to listen to what Pang Ji said. As long as Liu Qi could be defeated, Cai Mao would always obey Pang Ji's words.Cai Mao patiently looked at Pang Ji with admiring eyes, encouraging Pang Ji to continue talking.

Seeing Cai Mao's admiring expression, Pang Ji was in a happy mood, and continued, "Since the son's mansion does not allow noise, we will make noise in front of his mansion. The general can send a hundred cavalry to go back and forth to the son's mansion, and not enter. It is only said that I was ordered to cooperate with the son to suppress the bandits in the city, and there is no reason to prevent the general and soldiers from passing in front of the son's mansion."

"Okay, okay, let's do it this way." Hearing Pang Ji's plan, Cai Mao praised him again and again. This Pang Ji really has a lot of tricks. With this person in the account, it is much easier to handle military affairs.

"Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng." Cai Mao cheered up and called Zhang and Chen directly.

"Yes." Zhang Chen answered in two voices.

Cai Mao threw out two command arrows, and said in a deep voice: "You two each led fifty cavalry to shuttle back and forth in front of the prince's mansion, only disturbing and not entering. If the guards in the mansion stop you, you will be killed."

"Follow orders." Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng Dian Dian led the order out of the meeting hall, now it's all good, and they can justifiably show the guards of the young master Liu Qi's mansion.

"Mr. Pang listens to the order." Cai Mao drew another order arrow.

Pang Ji shook his sleeves, straightened his figure, and answered loudly: "Yes."

"Ru quickly lead [-] infantry to support Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. If the prince's mansion is in front of him, and he encircles and suppresses them for the crime of delaying the military plan, they will all be killed." Cai Mao suddenly became murderous. Cai Mao's idea of ​​killing is to kill Killing one is also killing, killing two is also killing, and killing all is also killing.

"Obey." Pang Ji took the command arrow, walked out of Cai Mansion with his head upright and his chest upright, hurried back to the barracks to select [-] elite infantry, and set up guards around a kilometer away from Prince Liu Qi's mansion to support Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng.
