It is obviously impossible for Zhang Yu to completely overhead Cai Mao, this is a huge project, and it will not be possible to do it in three or five years.

However, Zhang Yu understood that Cai Mao was very lacking in talent at this time.

As long as Zhang Yu sends him a large number of talents without Cai Mao's knowledge, there will be a large number of personnel arranged by Zhang Yu in Cai Mao's group at that time.

These people will always work at critical times, and can even subvert him at critical times.

Although Zhang Yu and Cai Mao are in a cooperative relationship now, and the relationship between the two sides is very good, they may be enemies when in the future.

For example, Sun Ce, Zhang Yu had a good relationship with the Sun family in the early years, but now it is not a hostile relationship, and even fights to kill the other party.

Therefore, Zhang Yu helped Cai Mao, naturally with his purpose.

In fact, what Zhang Yu said, Cai Mao didn't need Zhang Yu's help at all, only through fierce military means.

But Cai Mao's ambition has swelled, which has made him cover his eyes and bent on seizing power quickly.

"General Zhang, I'm too anxious, but I still need your help a lot of the time." Cai Mao said again.

"Naturally, nothing else can help you, but we can deepen our cooperation, so that Lord Cai has enough capital to encircle other families and let these families be used by you."

Zhang Yu never mentioned helping Cai Mao solve the matter of talents, even if Cai Mao opened his mouth, he would not help him.

Zhang Yu will only quietly complete the layout, so that Cai Mao will not notice.

Only those who are buried in this way will be able to function in the future.

Cai Mao didn't know that Zhang Yu helped him, but there was actually a shocking conspiracy.

Then, Zhang Yu provided Cai Mao with many plans.

Among them, most of the solutions provided are how to replace Liu Biao's people, and how to exchange their own resources for the support of other families.

In fact, Cai Mao understands many of these operations, but he needs Zhang Yu's support and someone to verify his ideas.

Cai Mao's plan is slowly improving.

He stayed in Zhang Yu's military camp for a day and a night, and he completed the plan with Zhang Yu.

Although Zhang Yu denied Cai Mao's plan to seize power militarily, Zhang Yu did not need to help Cai Mao militarily.

To be precise, they planned that Zhang Yu would use military oppression of Cai Mao, and then sing a duet with Cai Mao.

Cai Mao left, and Zhang Yu was still stationed there without any action.

The time agreed between Zhang Yu and Cai Mao was seven days later.

Why Seven Days?

Because Cai Mao has to prepare, and Zhang Yu has to prepare.

As soon as Cai Mao left, the two intelligence leaders in Xiangyang came to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu met the two of them alone this time.

"Secretly, let our people go to Cai Mao, personal information, set up a separate file, and send it directly to me, no one is allowed to back it up."

Zhang Yu gave the same order to the two of them.

The two intelligence systems do not cooperate with each other, so that the people in their control use various methods to install their own people into Cai Mao's camp.

This requires a fairly high level of skill.

Zhang Yu didn't let the people below know the identities of these undercover agents.

And the people in it must not know each other and do not know their respective identities.

Otherwise, it's easy to get a flaw.

Zhang Yu wants to bury a big net in Jingzhou, which may not be used, but may play a role in the critical time in the future.

The two intelligence networks acted quickly, and it took five days to prepare more than 100 candidates.

These people will go to Cai Mao through different channels and at different times to become Cai Mao's people.

These people are relatively young, have little roots, and may take years to make a big difference.

But Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, if he wants to have a conflict with Jingzhou, it is not possible in a short time, Zhang Yu has time.

"Cai Mao, it's no wonder that others, the princes compete for hegemony, and there has always been only interests."

Zhang Yu held the information of more than 100 people in his hands, and these more than 100 people were some intellectuals and potential elites.

It is already difficult to gather more than a hundred people in a short period of time.

Zhang Yu will have so many people because of a large number of training in recent years.

Now the population has skyrocketed, the population of Huaxia exceeds 300 million, and Jingzhou has a population of tens of millions, but more than 100 people have been sorted out here in five days, which is not much.

In the later period, Zhang Yu will naturally mobilize some people from Jiangdong to come over, but these people still need to forge their identities, and they can't do it in a short time.

Zhang Yu is ready, and Cai Mao is also ready.

He also selected hundreds of people to come out, and these people would quickly replace Liu Biao's people after the plan began, so that the entire Jingzhou would slowly fall under his control.

Taking control of Jingzhou is the first step, and the second step is to support Liu Biao's son to take over.

Let Liu Biao's son take over, and then the resistance will naturally be small.

The plan went very smoothly and the two completed the preparations.

By the seventh day, the plan began.

Zhang Yu attacked the formation with a large number of men and horses and headed towards Xiangyang.

"What is Zhang Yu going to do, is he going to rebel?"

"Defend Xiangyang for me, and give Zhang Yu a head-on blow."

"At all costs, teach Zhang Yu a lesson."

Liu Biao was very anxious when he heard that Zhang Yu was going to "attack" Xiangyang.

Although after a few days, he had already made preparations and urgently mobilized a lot of troops and horses.

The last time he beat Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, he suffered a big loss, and tens of thousands of troops became Cai Mao's people.

Now that Liu Biaoxue is smart, he didn't let Cai Mao touch his hands, but sent him to Jiangxia County and let him take his own naval army to defend the Yangtze River.

In the name of beauty, let Cai Mao guard the Yangtze River and prevent Jiangdong's soldiers and horses from raiding them from the Yangtze River waterway.

The reason is very good, Cai Mao has nothing to say, so he left for Jiangxia on the same day, and he really didn't ask about this stall in Xiangyang.

Liu Biao didn't know that his reactions were all expected by Cai Mao and Zhang Yu.

Liu Biao mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses around him to defend the city wall in Xiangyang.

Zhang Yu slaughtered all the way to the city.

"This king is passing by here, the grain and grass are exhausted, and the winter materials are in short supply, so I also ask the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastor to provide me with the necessary help to ask for the righteous army of thieves."

Zhang Yu and they killed the city, and he went out and shouted at the city wall.

The city was in disarray.

"Logistics."

"If you want to eat, don't you want to fight?"

"Shouldn't it be telling them to surrender?"

The big battle imagined by the people in the city did not come, but ushered in Zhang Yu's request.

Is it to fight or not to fight, or to give or not to give.

Of course, these officers and soldiers don't have to have a headache, and it is Liu Biao who has a headache.

Liu Biao had long been prepared for a big battle, and a column of heralds was waiting outside the palace of the state governor's mansion, ready to give orders quickly once the war began.

At the same time, his staff also moved to the governor's mansion and prepared to support him day and night.

Everything is ready, waiting for Zhang Yu's arrival.

However, Zhang Yu made an attack posture in the early stage, and even a few days ago, they received news that Zhang Yu was manufacturing siege equipment.

All these actions were all about fighting, but when Zhang Yu arrived, he actually extorted materials first.
