There were more than 50 soldiers at the north city gate. Except for the more than 50 soldiers on duty, the rest of the soldiers were resting in the urn, and almost everyone saw a sudden scene.

Everyone was extremely surprised and stood up and ran over, and soon formed a large circle. At this time, Liu Jing's halberd tip had moved away from Cai Zhong's neck. With a wave of his hand, his soldiers pressed Cai Zhong to the ground and tied him up.

"Liu Jing, this is Xiangyang, not your Chaisang, let go of old man"

"Dog bastard, I've killed me with one knife."

Cai Zhong cursed and forgot Cai Mao's advice. His arms were tied and his bones were almost broken, which made Cai Zhong feel unbearable.

"You idiots, why don't you come and save me quickly?" Cai Zhong turned his head and shouted at his subordinates.

But he has been serving as the Marquis of the North City Army for less than half a month. These soldiers are not his confidants, but even one or two confidants are afraid of Liu Jing's power and dare not save him.

Cai Zhong's violent and viciousness had already made him lose his morale, not to mention that they were not facing the Jiangdong Army or the Cao Army, but the nephew of the governor of the state, Liu Jing, who had just defeated the Jiangdong Army in Jiangxia, a hero that the soldiers admired.

No one came forward to help Cai Zhong, and there were even many soldiers turning their backs. At this time, people coming and going around the city gate surrounded him, and more and more people came to the city city to watch the fun.

"Speak up, soldiers"

Liu Jing raised his voice, and his stern voice echoed in the urn city. "As we all know, it was Cai Zhong who left his post in Xiakou, which caused the Jingzhou reinforcements to be defeated. Several warships were burned, more than 6,000 people were killed and injured, and 4,000 people were captured. Such a serious crime was killed in the army, but he was demoted to two levels, just because he was Cai Mao's brother, how could our fallen brothers rest in peace and how could thousands of living soldiers be convinced?"

Liu Jing was passionate and the soldiers present listened quietly. Everyone was infected, their eyes were flashing with hatred and dissatisfaction.

Liu Jing took a deep breath and said loudly: "According to military rules, I have no right to kill him, but as a soldier, I have the right to uphold justice for the brothers who died."

He turned around and shouted: "Break his legs for me."

Cai Zhong begged, "Mr. Jing, let me go..."

Before he could finish speaking, the five-colored sticks were hit like raindrops, and only Cai Zhong's shrill wailing sound was heard.

Liu Jing stared at Cai Zhong coldly, and a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He believed that Cai Mao would understand his intention.

.........

Cai Mao quickly walked into the inner house, came to his uncle's resting place, and walked into the yard, and saw Cai Xun sitting cross-legged on a stone mill, slowly peeling a pile of dried beans.

Cai Mao had to admire this second uncle, who was more and more able to cultivate his mind and nature. He hurriedly walked forward and bowed and said, "Does the second uncle still have the intention to peel beans?"

Cai Xun didn't look up, and asked slowly: "The sky is about to collapse, or the ground is about to sink."

Cai Mao smiled bitterly, "My nephew just said that something big will happen in Jingzhou."

"Since the sky has not collapsed and the ground has not collapsed, what are you worried about?"

Cai Xun smiled and said, "I planted these beans. They are harvested in autumn and stored in winter. I have peeled them for a few days and stored them in kilograms. I don't have to worry about being hungry this winter."

Cai Mao knew his uncle's temper, so he stopped talking and stood with his hands down. After a while, Cai Xun glanced at him and asked slowly: "Is it Liu Jing here?"

This sentence immediately made Cai Mao excited. Uncle Er was so keen that he not only guessed his purpose, but more importantly, Uncle Er must have a solution to it, which made Cai Mao, who was upset in his heart, see hope.

"It's exactly" Cai Mao said quickly: "He has just arrived at the Xiangyang Wharf and is probably brought with him five armies, which has been warmly welcomed by the people of Xiangyang."

"It is normal for him to celebrate his uncle's birthday, and it is reasonable to be popular. If you defeat the Jiangdong Army, you can still enjoy the glory that is admired by all people. What's so strange about it?" Cai Xun still understated.

"Second uncle, Liu Biao's birthday celebration is just an excuse. The real purpose is to lure Liu Jing to Xiangyang and completely solve the Jiangxia problem."

"I can understand this, but what does this have to do with you?" Cai Xun's tone became cold.

Cai Mao couldn't help but be stunned. He suddenly felt that his second uncle did not seem to agree with the Cai family's participation in Liu Jing's affairs. He felt a little embarrassed. He had already participated, so how could he still withdraw?

Cai Mao had to bite the bullet and said, "Uncle Second knew something. This was a condition for Liu Biao to relieve me of my guilt. He hoped that I could help him in Jiangxia's affairs."

"snort"

Cai Xun snorted coldly, "The condition for exempting you from responsibility is that the Cai family makes concessions in providing money and food. What does it have to do with this matter? This is the family chore of his Liu family, why do you have to get involved?"

Cai Mao bit his lips tightly and retorted: "This is not a housework. Liu Jing will become the second Huang Zu, which is related to the interests of the entire Jingzhou. As a military advisor, how can I stand by and watch?"

Cai Xun sneered repeatedly, "What a righteous military advisor, I feel ashamed. Since that's the case, what do you come to me to do? Go and be your military advisor."

Cai Mao knelt down, "My nephew is rude, and his nephew apologizes to his second uncle."

Seeing that he was sincere, Cai Xun put away his sarcasm and nodded and said, "Get up first."

Cai Mao stood up and stood respectfully aside. Cai Xun then sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to make things difficult for you, nor do I object to your participation in this matter. After all, Liu Biao is inconvenient to come forward for many things, so he can only rely on you. Although this shows that Liu Biao attaches importance to you, everything has a disadvantage, and I am afraid that you won't see it."

Cai Mao nodded silently and said for a while: "If things fail, Liu Jingsheng will indeed take his anger on me."

Cai Xun looked at him deeply, shook his head and said, "It's not for this, Degui, I'm worried that Liu Jing will become the lord of Jingzhou in the future."

Cai Mao was stunned and waved his hands for a while, "No, Liu Jingsheng has already told me clearly that in the future, he will either inherit the position of Jingzhou, or Shi Cong, and there will be no other person."

Cai Xun sneered, "Han lost its deer, and heroes competed for it. Jingzhou is also a horn of a deer. Do you think Liu Qi and Liu Cong have the ability to have Jingzhou?"

"But... the second uncle also said that we support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou, and the Cai family will get the greatest benefits in the future. Once the Cao army goes south, it will also ensure that the Cai family will get the first benefit. The second uncle will not deny it."

"I didn't deny it. I still support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou. I just..."

Speaking of this, Cai Xun sighed, "I just want to leave one for the Cai family. What if Liu Jing seized Jingzhou before Cao Cao went south? I thought it was impossible, but after the Battle of Jiangxia, I felt that this was possible. Degui, we have to make the worst plan."

Cai Mao was silent, and the second uncle said earnest words and hit him in his heart. He asked himself, if it weren't for Liu Jing's strong rise, he, a dignified Jingzhou military advisor, would have attached so much importance to this person, hated him, and even felt a little afraid of him.

He knew very well that Liu Qi and Liu Cong were incompetent. Once Liu Biao could not control the situation, it was still unknown. And there was still a rumor that Sun Quan wrote to Liu Jing after the war, willing to support him as the lord of Jingzhou.

Regardless of whether Sun Quan was sowing discord, it at least showed that Jiangdong and Liu Jing had a tacit understanding. If Liu Jing really got the support of Jiangdong, it would be impossible to seize the governor of Jingzhou.

Cai Mao thought he could get inspiration from his uncle about how to deal with Liu Jing, but he didn't expect that his uncle suggested that he leave room for anything, which made Cai Mao hesitate.

Although Cai Mao also understood the truth, he could no longer help with some things. At this time, he did not agree with his second uncle's appeasement idea. After a moment of silence, Cai Mao nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Second, I understand."

At this moment, a family member came over in a panic, "The head of the family, it's not good."

"What happened?" Cai Mao asked unhappily.

"The head of the family, it's the master, Cai Zhong, was broken by someone and hung it on the city gate to show the public."

"What"

Cai Mao's eyes widened. Who dared to be so bold and arrogant about him and grabbed his family's clothes, "Who did it?"

"Report... the head of the family, I heard it is Duke Jing..."

"ah"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly ran out like crazy. The long-established depression in his heart almost made him burst out. Why is this person again

Cai Xun went without any surprise. He still slowly peeled his dried beans. Suddenly, his hand stopped and a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What a poisonous method," Cai Xun said to himself.

...........

The North City is already crowded with people, and thousands of people are staring at the North City Wall from afar. There is a person hanging on the North City Wall, with his head drooping, his legs drooping, and his body covered in blood. Almost all people in Xiangyang know this person, Cai Zhong, known as one of the two tigers in Xiangyang.

The whispers were filled with excitement on everyone's face. A message spread quickly among the crowd. It was said that it was Liu Jing's actions and was dissatisfied with Cai Zhong's defeat in Jiang Xia's handling.

Everyone was excited that Liu Jing was chasing Cai Zhong seriously, but also worried about his boldness and arrogance. He dealt with Cai Zhong's opinion that he was the governor of the state. If he injured the general without authorization, would the governor of the state be spared?

At this time, a group of people rushed over, and the person who was Cai Mao's other clan brother Cai He, and there were more than a dozen Cai family brothers behind him.

Seeing that his brother was hanging in the air, Cai He couldn't help but point at the soldiers and curse, "You bastards, how dare you not save them when you die."

The soldiers did not dare to say anything, and all lowered their heads. Cai He was so angry that he didn't care about the soldiers. He ran up to the city to untie the rope and slowly put Cai Zhong down from the city wall.

Cai Zhong had fainted and was dying. Cai He was so anxious that he shouted, "Go and find a doctor."

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps. Cai Mao rushed to the rescue under the escort of dozens of followers. He pushed everyone away and pushed forward, and was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Cai Zhong to be beaten so miserably.

His legs were broken, his body was covered in blood, and his life was hanging in a trace. Cai Mao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Liu Jing, let's take a look."
