With Li Ru's instructions, Zhang Xiu's army had many fine works. He took advantage of the night to cross the Han River and headed to Xiangyang, Jiangling to spread news and spread Zhang Xiu's threat.

There was a man named Song Ai, who was from Wancheng, Nanyang. After crossing the river at night, he did not act immediately. Instead, he waited until the daytime to come to Wenpin's water village. After reporting it, he was invited in.

Wancheng was very large, with a population of more than 100,000 at its peak. Wenpin was not a high-ranking clan, and Song Ai was also a poor scholar. The two did not know each other before.

But in this era, fellow countrymen are justice.

Wenpin not only invited Song Ai in, but also set up wine and food to entertain Song Ai politely.

After three rounds of drinking, Song Ai raised his hand and bowed to Wen Pin and said, "Brother. The governor Sun and Zhang Gong fought and were defeated repeatedly. Now that he retired from Xiangfan, he is already in a state of surviving. Why should brother be a general under the governor Sun? It is better to go north to surrender to Zhang Gong. Zhang Gong treats virtuous and nobles and treats people kindly. He has prepared a general and a marquis' seal and waits for his brother."

Wen Pin Yan Yi is a serious person. He smiled very little, but after hearing this, he was even more expressionless and bowed and said, "My brother, I welcome you to express your feelings for fellow countrymen. But if you are a lobbyist for Mr. Zhang, then just let it go. Wen Pin is familiar with history books and knows loyalty and righteousness. Since I surrender to General Sun, I will not betray you."

Song Ai opened his mouth when he heard this, but seeing that Wen Pin's expression was serious and unable to shake it, he sighed and stopped mentioning the matter.

He instigated Wen Pin to betray Sun Jian, but failed.

However, Zhang Xiu spread intimidation and threats in Xiangyang and Jiangling City, but it was effective.

Cai Mao’s residence, in the study room. Cai Mao knelt on the desk and put down the bamboo slips in his hand, showing a look of worry.

He did not really surrender to Sun Jian, but just agreed verbally.

In his opinion, Zhang Xiu did win repeatedly, while Sun Jian and Cao Cao were defeated repeatedly.

After thinking for a while, Cai Mao stood up and said to the servant outside the door, "Go and invite Cai Zhong, Cai He."

"No." The servant obeyed the promise and turned around.

Cai Zhong and Cai He are the strongest people among the Cai clan. They usually lead family soldiers and their troops, and are Cai Mao's arm.

Not long after, Cai Zhong and Cai He came to the study and first met Cai Mao, the three of them sat in the form of "Pin".

After talking about his concerns, Cai Mao said, "Two brothers, what should we do now?"

Cai Zhong, Cai and each thought for a while. Cai Zhong, who was more majestic and strategic, bowed and said, "Brother, according to me, Zhang Xiu will definitely win. The soldiers in Liangzhou are cruel. Although Zhang Xiu is usually respectful to the wise and the nobles, since he speaks, if he breaks through Xiangfan, our entire clan will inevitably suffer."

"There are two ways at present. Either we attack Sun Jian and echo Zhang Xiu. We can give Zhang Xiu an opportunity to seize Fancheng and cross Xiangyang south. Or we will join our clans north and join Zhang Xiu."

Cai Mao was already unsure, and when he saw that Cai Zhong was optimistic about Zhang Xiu, he couldn't help but feel unsure. But he was also self-aware.

The reason why the Cai family is powerful is not because of their strong military forces, but because of their in-laws throughout Jingzhou. They raise an army to attack Sun Jian?

It’s just that you hit the stone with an egg and bring shame to yourself.

As for connecting the other Xiangyang clans and betraying Sun Jian together, he did not dare to do so. At this time, people's hearts were the most unpredictable. If the strategy was leaked, they would inevitably be liquidated by Sun Jian.

"Okay, we are preparing for gold, silver, fine and soft, wealth and goods. We are ready to cross the river north." Cai Mao gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"promise."

Cai Zhong and Cai He had no objection to this and agreed.

The Cai family is really strong, including Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, and Cai He. There are fifty or sixty adult males in the clan. These people each have their own land and servants.

Moreover, the Cai family was very united, and they jointly organized seven or eight hundred soldiers.

As for servants and tenants, there are 30,000 to 40,000 men and 40,000 men and 40,000 people. Of course, this land cannot be taken away and it is not easy to sell.

But this man and woman have a population of 30,000 to 40,000 people and needs to be taken away.

The people of the Cai family were very united and no one reported it. Under Cai Mao's organization, three days later, under the cover of night, they rode many boats and crossed the river in one fell swoop.

After crossing the river, Cai Mao asked the men and women to stay in the wild. He took thirty light cavalry to Zhang Xiu's camp.

When outside the camp gate, Cai Mao had to argue with the soldiers guarding the camp gate, and then he was able to enter the military camp and meet Zhang Xiu.

The Central Army’s big tent, in the back tent.

Zhang Xiu slept very hard and was woken up by Dian Wei in a daze. After hearing Dian Wei's words, he immediately became energetic.

"Although I didn't get Wenpeng, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, getting a Cai Mao was not considered to have nothing. Of course, Cai Mao didn't care, the key is that Cai Mao brought 30,000 to 40,000 men and women."

In his heart, Zhang Xiu despises a guy who is flirting with Cai Mao. In history, this guy was a thief who was betrayal. But there are places to be used by such people.

The harm is much smaller than that of people like Lu Bu.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, then barefoot and only wore short-sleeved clothes. He left the inner tent and saw Cai Mao standing in the outer tent.

"Oh, Mr. Cai, I have long admired Daqi, and long admired Daqi." Zhang Xiu wore a barefoot and bowed to Cai Mao very enthusiastically.

Cai Mao was immediately stunned, and then an unspeakable emotion emerged in his heart. He thought to himself: "It is rumored that Zhang Xiu is respectful to the wise and the nobles and is generous to others. It is true that hearing is false to see the eyes."

"Han Shouhou." Cai Mao bent down deeper than Zhang Xiu, and was very respectful.

But that's it. Zhang Xiu mainly used Cai Mao to gain a wave of his reputation as a "polite and noble man".

After some enthusiastic words, Zhang Xiu immediately expressed that he would take Cai Mao back to Luoyang with him and temporarily let Cai Mao be his [representative] of his cavalry general's mansion.

Cai Mao expressed his satisfaction with this. Although the subordinates of the governor of Jingzhou were more powerful in official positions, their salary was similar to those of the General of the Cavalry.

Besides, Zhang Xiu is the best-ranked general in the world and is intimidating the world. Sun Jian is defeated repeatedly.

He would rather be Zhang Xiu’s [a dependent] than Sun Jian’s [a engaging].

Afterwards, Zhang Xiu asked Huaxiong to send a thousand cavalry to pick up Cai Mao's tribe and his subordinates to settle in Wancheng.

A small tent was set up outside the Central Army's large tent to allow Cai Mao to live in.

However, Cai Mao stopped and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Is there anything else to do with Degui (Cai Mao's name)?" Zhang Xiu was a first-class smart person and asked immediately.

"Han Shouhou has been fighting in the south and north for many days. I saw that there were only personal soldiers to serve Han Shouhou's tent inside and outside the tent, so it would be inconvenient. I would like to offer beauty."

Cai Mao originally found it difficult to speak out, but he had never done such a shameless thing before, but when Zhang Xiu took the initiative to mention it, he became more courageous and bowed and said.

Zhang Xiu shook his head in his heart when he heard this, "As soon as he got into the job, he presented a beauty to him. Cai Mao is the only one who can do this."

However, he did not refute Cai Mao's face. Besides, he was indeed very nervous during this period. So he smiled, "Okay, Degui is willing, so I accept it with a smile."

"Thank you, Han Shouhou." Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly thanked him. Then Cai Mao turned around and walked down. Not long after, a lady dressed in a man walked in.

The lady was wearing the clothes of her entourage and couldn't see her face clearly with her head down. But when Zhang Xiu saw that her skin was fair and tender, she was also a beauty presented by Cai Mao, she knew that she must be stunning, so she couldn't help but feel distracted and reacted on the spot.

"Raise your head and come to your arms." Zhang Xiu did not hide his anxiousness.

The lady looked up obediently, then hesitated for a moment before moving the lotus steps towards Zhang Xiu and sitting in Zhang Xiu's arms.

This lady is the stunning lady Cao Cao met outside Cai Mao’s mansion.

Zhang Xiu hugged her horizontally and entered the inner tent. After a while, Zhang Xiu hugged her delicate body and asked, "Mrs. Beautiful and dignified, and is a stunning beauty in the world. Is Cai Mao beautiful concubine?"

He personally verified that this woman was definitely a wife. Anyway, you can tell that women of this era got married when they were in their teens.

Zhang Xiu guessed that the other party was Cai Mao's concubine or something. This kind of thing was normal. Han Sui gave him a concubine.

The fox charms the Jin family.

Anyway, Zhang Xiu is always there, as long as he is beautiful, it is fine. Of course, Zhang Xiu is still macho and will not give her own women.

Once you love each other, you will have to hide the charming one in the golden house.

Dong Zhuo gave him countless beauties, and he worked hard to cultivate them one by one, keeping them in the mansion, and would occasionally flip through the brands and other things.

This has led to an increasing population in the palace and a considerable daily expense.

As a woman, raising white fat is not a skill. Raising white fat and looking good is the skill.

Does the clothes cost money?

Do you want one or two pieces of jewelry that you can take out?

The maid who serves, do you want it?

You can't let the beauty wash her clothes by herself, and make her jade hands turn into an old woman's hands, right?

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu has great financial resources and can afford it.

Although Zhang Xiu's wife had already been lucky enough to be left, she let go. After hearing this, she still flew her cheeks and said indifferently: "I am the second sister of Cai Mao, and her boudoir is Lianjiang."

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. What a Cai Mao, I underestimated you. I thought you would be so arrogant after giving you a concubine.

I didn’t expect you to be so shameless and actually give away your second sister? Although you should be a widow, this is too shameless.

You are Cai Mao, who is from a great clan in Xiangyang. Your aunt is the wife of the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen, and your elder sister is the wife of Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan.

But he gave his second sister to him and became a nameless concubine.

Awesome enough, shameless enough.

If history remains unchanged, this woman should be Liu Biao’s wife. Liu Biao is also miserable. The governor of Jingzhou is gone and his wife is green.

Although Zhang Xiu called Cai Mao "shameless", his own reaction was even more real. He immediately reacted and pushed Mrs. Cai down and then another battle.
