Sun Ce hooked his finger at the door. Although Sun Fu was nervous, he still stubbornly walked over. Cai Ke also followed, standing behind Sun Fu, squeezing out a smile at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce glared at Sun Fu, but didn't say anything, but turned to Cai Ke and said, "Sister-in-law, you also heard it, Kuai Qi can't be killed nine times out of ten." ”

Cai Ke listened, and his face was a little unnatural. She kicked Kuaiqi's face several times, and she kicked it well at the time, but now she regrets it a little. Kuai Qi suffered this great humiliation, if he goes back alive, he will definitely take revenge in the future.

"The Cai family is kind, Kuai Yue is so kind to your family, and your brother is still trying his best to save Kuai Qi, I admire it. Is he still in the village, can you please come and see him? I apologize in person for my negligence yesterday. ”

Cai Ke was overjoyed, agreed repeatedly, and immediately asked people to invite Cai Mao. Sun Ce invited them to sit down and said a few gossips, and Cai Mao hurried over. Sun Ce got up to greet him and made a polite gesture. Cai Mao was flattered and hurriedly returned the salute.

"Last time Cai He came, he said that Kuai Liang went to ask Yuan Shao for help, but there was any news?"

"Not yet." Cai Mao said: "Yuan Benchu was in Jizhou, the road was far away, and Kuai Zirou couldn't get there in less than half a month. ”

Sun Ce sneered: "Even if Yuan Shao agrees to Kuailiang, he will send troops immediately, and when he arrives in Nanyang, I am afraid that Xiangyang City will also be breached." ”

Cai Mao thought for a moment. "Actually...... I suggested asking Cao Mengde for help, but it was a humble word, and Liu Yuanjun did not accept it. ”

Sun Ce was surprised, leaned forward, crouched on the desk, and stared at Cai Mao for a long time. From the time Cai Mao sent Cai He back to the village secretly, he knew that there was a lot of room for use in the contradiction between Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and now when he heard Cai Mao's words, he was even more sure. Kuai Yue leans towards Yuan Shao because he has worked with Yuan Shao and can speak, while Cai Mao leans towards Cao Cao because he is familiar with Cao Cao, but has nothing to do with Yuan Shao. Judging from this point alone, Cai Mao is a little lacking in confidence in front of Kuai Yue. When Kuai Yue watched the Cai family unlucky, Cai Mao could only endure it. And when the Kuai family was unlucky, Cai Mao could only be secretly refreshed, and she had to run to save Kuai Qi on the surface.

Cai Mao was uneasy when Sun Ce saw it. "General, each his own master, has to be."

Sun Ce nodded solemnly. "It's a shame that Liu Biao didn't listen to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you. Liu Biao is well-educated and moral, if it is a peaceful period, he can sit and talk about the Tao, and he will be the third duke, but now, he can't keep Jingzhou. Brother Dejun, let me ask you one more question, if you can answer, you can answer, if you can't answer, don't force it, how about it? ”

"General, please."

"Yuan Shaoyuan is in Jizhou, Kuai Yue probably can't count on him. Doesn't he have any other thoughts and puts all his hopes in you? ”

Cai Mao thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "He once suggested that the envoy negotiate with Yuan Highway, but he pushed this task to me. I'm coming to see the general now, and he might arrange for someone else to go to see Yuan Highway. ”

Sun Ce remained silent. "Do you think negotiations are feasible?"

"It's feasible, if Yuan Highway wants the money of Nanjun, he doesn't want to occupy Nanjun, his opponent is in Shandong."

Sun Ce smiled, shaking his head while laughing. Cai Mao was uneasy by his laughter, licked her lips, and asked in a low voice, "General, am I wrong?" ”

"Brother Deju, you are still too loyal. Since it is feasible to negotiate with General Hou, why did Kuai Yue himself not go, but pushed this task to you? In my opinion, negotiations may be possible, but Liu Biao cannot stay in Jingzhou. Although Liu Biao was familiar with the Yuan brothers, he was closer to Yuan Shao, but he was not very close to the general. After the general's enemy is in the north, how can he keep Liu Biao behind him? ”

Cai Mao's heart tightened, and she immediately understood what Sun Ce meant, and couldn't help but scold Kuai Yue in her heart. It's all at this time, you're still calculating me? In that case, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Cai Mao held back her anger and squeezed out a smile. "Thank you for reminding the general, this task is too difficult, and I don't have enough ability, so I just don't go."

Sun Ce smiled even more mysteriously. He shook his head and didn't say a word. Cai Mao's heart was up and down, and she was embarrassed to ask for advice, so she had to look at Sun Fu and Cai Ke for help. Seeing this, Cai Ke hurriedly smiled and said: "Young General, don't sell Guanzi, my brother is honest, he is not Kuai Yue's opponent, you can just dial him." ”

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Brother De Jue, think about it, Kuai Yue asked his brother Kuai Liang to ask Yuan Shao for help, and asked you to negotiate with General Hou, this is obviously a knife to kill, do you think you can not go if you don't want to go?" In that case, why don't you tell General Hou that this is not your intention, and also give General Hou a reminder. When Kuai Liang came back, he asked him face to face. ”

Cai Mao woke up like a dream, her eyes lit up, and she screamed again and again. "General, this plan is very good, this plan is very good."

Cai Ke didn't know why, and anxiously pulled Cai Mao's sleeve. Cai Mao whispered in her ear, and Cai Ke couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Yes, yes, that's how it should be. He is unkind, and he blames us for our injustice. ”

Cai Mao got up and arched her hand. "Since this is the case, then I will not delay, and immediately return to the city and bid farewell to Liu Yuanjun."

"Have a nice trip." Sun Ce laughed.

——

Cai Mao returned to the city and reported to Liu Biao about his whereabouts that night. Knowing that Cai Mao was running around to save Kuaiqi and didn't sleep all night, now that Pang Degong went to Sun Jian's camp, Huang Chengyan persuaded Sun Ce at Cai's house, and he was full of emotion. In terms of character, Cai Mao is much more generous than Kuai Yue.

Cai Mao immediately took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Wanyang to meet Yuan Shu. Liu Biao couldn't ask for it, so he agreed. Cai Mao didn't even return home, and set off immediately. By the time Kuaiyue received the news, he had already crossed the water. Knowing everything Cai Mao had done, Kuai Yue was also a little relieved and waited patiently for further news.

In the evening, Kuai Qi returned to Xiangyang City. Pang Degong persuaded Sun Jian, and Sun Jian ordered Sun Ce to release him. But only Kuai Qi was released, Sun Jian asked him to go back to the city to meet Kuai Yue, and asked Kuai Yue to persuade Liu Biao to surrender, if Kuai Yue could not complete the task, the Kuai family would still be unable to escape death.

Kuai Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, Kuaiqi's life was saved. As for the captured Kuai family, find a way to rescue them. Even if you want to surrender, you can't agree to Sun Jian so easily, at least you have to talk about the conditions. It has been nearly ten days since Kuailiang set off, and Cai Mao went to Wancheng again, no matter which news comes, Xiangyang may turn the corner, and surrender is not the first choice.

Kuai Yue's mind had just let go, and Kuai Qi fell down in front of Kuai Yue again, crying. Cai Ke humiliated him in front of the sailors, and let people rip off his clothes and armor, so that he was naked in front of everyone.

Kuai Yue's mood that had just gotten better was immediately gone, his face changed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
