Lu Dynasty

Chapter 718
When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei approaching, he immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Since Liang is serving the lord, naturally he must try his best to plan for the lord, otherwise, wouldn't he be ashamed of the lord's kindness?"

"Why should the military commander be overly modest, how can Bei not know your heart?" Liu Bei pointed at Zhuge Liang's heart with a smile, and then pointed at himself and said, "It's a tacit understanding!" After speaking, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled.

Now that the design is done, Zhuge Liang will naturally start with Wenpin.He first asked Yiji to pretend to be drunk outside, and then "leaked" the secret, then sent Ma Liang to contact people in Jingzhou, and also asked people to notify Pang De Company and Sima Hui, and asked them to help blow the whistle.You must know that although Wenpin is a general, he is not a member of a family. Although Sima Hui and Lord Pang De did not have a bad feeling for Wenpin, they did not like him either. They had no reason to refuse Zhuge Liang's request.What's more, they could tell that Zhuge Liang wanted to downgrade his employment.Since you can fight for a share of strength for your lover, why not do it?In addition, Mr. Pang De, Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan felt guilty towards Zhuge Liang because of the matter of Pang Tong, Huang Yueying, and Xu Shu, and they would not refuse his request.The concept that a dead fellow Taoist will not die a poor Taoist has existed since ancient times. Using an outsider to bridge the rift with Zhuge Liang, speaking of which, Sima Hui and others have made money!Poor Wenpin had no problems on the battlefield, but was tricked by a group of shameless old non-xiu.But Zhuge Liang forgot, I have already participated in the affairs of Jingzhou, will it be so easy for him to demote Wenpin?
Under the deliberate efforts of Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan, the news that Wenpin wanted to seize the power of Jingzhou seemed to have grown wings, and spread in Jingzhou in an instant, and Cai Mao was shocked.You know, Wenpin's ability is not something Cai Mao can resist.Although the troops that Wenpin is now leading are from Zhang Yun, who knows if the idiot Zhang Yun has been taken care of by Wenpin.If Wenpin really colluded with Liu Bei, it would be a disaster for Cai Mao.Cai Mao, who was in a hurry, unexpectedly made a foolish trick, and he took Wenpin's family into custody!The ancient prison is extremely dark, and Jingxiang is the territory of the four major families.Perhaps Sima Hui and the others are not big figures to Cai Mao, but to the prison boss, they are god-like existences. Isn't it easy for them to ask the prison guards and cell bosses to kill a few prisoner family members?What Sima Hui and others were even more ruthless was that they murdered Wenpin's family members, while pushing the crime on Cai Mao, and told Wenpin in advance that his family was killed by Cai Mao, and hoped that he would submit to Liu Bei.Fortunately, Wenpin is not an idiot like Ma Chao, who believes what others say, otherwise he will really betray the water, and he will kill his whole family.Of course, this is also because Wenpin doesn't like Liu Bei.If Wenpin's opponent is me now, he can really turn his back if he doesn't guarantee everything.

When the news spread that Wenpin wanted to seize power in Jingzhou, our army's spies in Jingzhou immediately became vigilant.He understood that this was a conspiracy against Wenpin.This kind of conspiracy is nothing to me, but to narrow-minded people like Cai Mao, it is a big deal.The secret agent immediately reported the matter to me, and at the same time tried to keep Wenpin's family members at all costs.Originally, secret agents could not make decisions on their own, but this time the situation was special, and I asked Guo Jia to allow him to keep Wenpin's family members.

Huang Chengyan and others are really vicious. Wenpin's family members have not yet entered the cell, and the people they sent to take Wenpin's family members' lives have already arrived.The leader of our army's secret agents learned that Cai Mao had arrested Wenpin's family, and he knew something was wrong, and before he had time to inform Shangfeng to get the order, he sent the shopkeeper of Jimin Restaurant to the cell to protect Wenpin's family.Although the shopkeeper of Jimin Restaurant is not a big official, but in the minds of all the princes, Jimin Restaurant is the embassy of our army stationed abroad.Since I started the army, I have never heard of anyone who dared to make trouble in Jimin Restaurant. Even Cao, he only dared to seal my restaurant, but he didn't dare to kill my people, for fear of my revenge.And the spy took out our military token and went directly to Cai Mao.

Cai Hao had just taken Wenpin's family members, and was about to send someone to recruit Wenpin back, when suddenly the concierge reported to him that an envoy from our army had come to visit.Cai Mao was very puzzled, because I didn't inform him that there would be a messenger.However, Cai Mao still invited the spies into the mansion based on the principle of politeness.The secret agent was not hypocritical, and directly said to Cai Mao: "Master Cai, I am a member of the intelligence department under Prime Minister Lu, and I am here to save your life!" After finishing speaking, the secret agent presented the token. Can't help being surprised.

"What do you mean sir? I have already taken refuge in the prime minister, how can my life be in danger?" Cai Mao thought I was going to harm him, but he didn't think about it. If I wanted to harm him, how could the people under my command do it to him? Warning!
"Hey! I don't have time to explain to the general right now. The general should take someone with me first!" The spy knew that although the shopkeeper of Jimin Restaurant was protected everywhere, it didn't stop those petty officials from killing people.If the other party is determined to detain the shopkeeper, Wenpin's family members will die!
"Where does the master want to take me?" Cai Mao frowned, feeling a little displeased.Although the Ministry of Intelligence is the department I value most, Jingzhou is Cai Mao's territory after all. I haven't entered Jingzhou yet, and my subordinates dare to instruct him like this. If I come to Jingzhou, wouldn't he have no human rights?Cai Mao has a lot of narrow eyes, so he wants to refuse.

"Don't be suspicious, general, hurry up and leave with me! Otherwise, General Wenpin will defect to the enemy, and you will miss the prime minister's important event!" The secret agent smiled wryly, "I can't do it because of my status. Now if the situation is not urgent, how can I come to the door? That's it, After this matter is over, I will transfer to another place! The general will come with me, or it will be too late!"

"It's about Wenpin again?" Cai Mao didn't understand. Although I value Wenpin, but now Wenpin is going to vote for Liu Bei, he should be my enemy. How could I send someone to intercede for him!

"The general has been tricked!" The spy said anxiously, "If we don't leave, it will be too late! Let's talk while we walk?"

Cai Mao was not stupid, he saw that the secret agent was in such a hurry, he knew that there must be something big, so he had no choice but to summon his own guards and follow the secret agent out of the house.The spy explained to Cai Mao as he walked, and at the same time took Cai Mao to the prison in Xiangyang.As soon as he entered the prison, Cai Mao frowned.To be honest, he didn't really believe what the spies said.He is willing to come with the spies, it's all for my sake.Because Cai Mao knew that the King of Hades is easy to deal with, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. Maybe other princes have scruples about killing the sons of the family and surrendering generals, but I will definitely not. If the Ministry of Intelligence makes up some stories for him, I don’t need a reason to kill people!But Cai Mao never expected that what he saw after he entered the prison almost made his nose crooked, and he also discovered the danger of this incident, and at the same time he was very grateful to me!
