Chapter 694 Cai Tao’s ambition
As soon as Zhang Yu approached Xiangyang, Liu Biao became nervous.
He was afraid that Zhang Yu and Cai Hongli would join forces outside and would overthrow him.
At this time, Liu Biao had no good counselors who could give him advice.
In the past, the Kuais brothers gave him advice, but now one of the Kuais brothers died, and the other ran away.
Liu Biao seemed very anxious.
Although Liu Biao was anxious, there was no good way, and he could only watch Zhang Yu’s arrival.
Zhang Yu didn’t go in outside Xiangyang, but stopped a hundred miles away.
Zhang Yu naturally wanted to visit Pound and Sima Hui first.
After staying in the residence of the two for five days, Zhang Yu chatted with Pound and Sima Hui for a long time, and they talked a lot.
Now Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are studying at Jiangdong Academy, and Zhang Yu doesn’t care if these two big brothers are not there.
Both Pound and Sima Hui are old, and they don’t have many students. Now the two most qualified students are in Jiangdong, so just keep them.
However, Sima Hui and Pound have great prestige, and it is always right for Zhang Yu to have a good relationship with them.
After leaving Sima Hui and Pang De, Zhang Yu planned to go to Xiangyang City.
At this time, the city of Xiangyang was under martial law. Unlike the past, Zhang Yu brought a hundred thousand soldiers and horses across the border this time.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, although it is nothing to Jingzhou today, Jingzhou also has nearly a million soldiers and horses.
Nowadays, Jingzhou has a very large population and a well-developed economy. It has so many soldiers and horses.
However, Liu Biao did not have so many soldiers and horses in his hands, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were in the hands of Cai Tao. If Zhang Yu cooperates with him, it is entirely possible to subvert him.
So Liu Biao was very nervous.
And Cai Tao has mastered the navy, part of the army, and more importantly, he also mastered part of the land.
Many counties, following Zhang Yu’s strategy, have been secretly controlled by Cai Hao.
And Liu Biao didn’t know that many counties and counties under him were actually controlled by Cai Tao. If he knew, he would be even more panicked.
Zhang Yu had camped dozens of miles away. He didn’t want to rely on Xiangyang too close to avoid any accidents.
Soon, Zhang Yu received a letter from Cai Hao, and Cai Hao wanted to come to him personally.
This Zhang Yu didn’t have any doubts, Cai Hao had a close relationship with him, so he didn’t think too much.
The next day, Cai Tao came and brought a lot of condolences.
“Congratulations, Master Zhang, now I am the only king of the different surname Wang Bohai.” Cai Hao said.
Speaking of King Bohai, Zhang Yu has always used this king to describe himself, and promotes his king title everywhere.
Zhang Yu did this to combat the prestige of the big man.
Liu Bang decided that he could not be crowned king with a different surname, but Zhang Yu is now crowned king, let’s see who dares to trouble him.
No one dared to make him trouble, even Liu Bang’s words were useless, so what kind of majesty is there now for the emperor of the big man.
This ace can also improve his compulsion and use his power to overwhelm others.
“Master Cai, share the same joy.”
The two were polite to each other, and then entered Zhang Yu’s big account.
“Master Cai, I should be visiting you, so how can you run dozens of miles?” Zhang Yu said after the two sat down.
Cai Hao looked around, and there were many guards and others in the big tent, and he let his men out.
Zhang Yu immediately understood that Cai Hao had something to discuss, and he let all his subordinates go out. There were only two of them in the big account.
“Master Cai, we are the two of us now, let’s talk about anything.” Zhang Yu said.
Cai Hao was silent for a long time before saying, “Now that the big man is declining and Liu Biao is incompetent, should it be time for Jingzhou to change his master?”
The words are not clear, but Zhang Yu already knows that Cai Hao is going to take the position.
There is nothing impossible for Cai Hao to become the lord of Jingzhou.
Most of the military power is in the hands of Cai Hao. If Cai Hao wants to win Jingzhou, it is not difficult to have Zhang Yu to cooperate.
Zhang Yu thought about it, whether this Cai Hao won Jingzhou in the end is it good for him.
The benefits are naturally there. Cai Hao won Jingzhou, and the cooperation with Zhang Yu can naturally be expanded.
In addition, Liu Biao, as a clan of the Han clan, a prince, if he is taken down, this will be a huge blow to the big man.
This is the real benefit that Zhang Yu can see.
There are also disadvantages. Cai Hao will quickly lose control and sit on an equal footing with Zhang Yu. He will not be so dependent on Zhang Yu as he is now.
In addition, if Cai Hao can’t control Jingzhou well, and Jingzhou will be in chaos, Zhang Yu will lose a place where he can source money and dump goods.
There are pros and cons, depending on the choice.
Cai Hao had ambitions, and finally replacing Liu Biao has become a foregone conclusion.
“Master Cai has the strength and ability. You will manage Jingzhou. That is the blessing of Jingzhou.” Zhang Yu expressed his attitude and supported Cai Hao’s control of Jingzhou.
Cai Hao seemed to be relieved. If Zhang Yu didn’t support him, he might do the same.
But Cai Hao didn’t want to have any conflict with Zhang Yu, after all, the cooperation between the two was so pleasant.
The two made a lot of money, and they were thousands of miles apart, so there was no conflict.
Zhang Yu expressed his attitude, and Cai Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Zhang Yu went on to say: “But Mr. Cai, this Liu Biao still has great prestige. If you want to be in the position, I am afraid that you have to take a few steps to be safer.”
Cai Hao nodded blankly, without explaining, he is still not sure what Zhang Yu thinks.
Zhang Yu went on to say: “The first step is to further evade Cai Tao. Master Cai must first win over a group of talents, enough to replace Liu Biao’s people in a short time, so that he has no time to react. The second step is to support Liu Biao. His son’s superiority must not directly seize Liu Biao’s power. There must be a process. In addition, Liu Biao still needs to be alive. After Mr. Cai has actually controlled Jingzhou for many years, whether he will abolish Cousin Liu and his son will depend on Mr. Cai’s mood. .”
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Cai Hao became happy. In this way, Zhang Yu really wanted to support him in the upper ranks.
Even the steps and solutions to solve the problem have helped Cai Hao think about it.
Cai Tao originally wanted Zhang Yu to cooperate with him, and directly used tough and military means to solve Liu Biao to control Jingzhou.
But Zhang Yu’s plan is to slowly seize power.
Now Cai Tao also realizes that there are not many talents in his hands.
Cai Hao’s plan to slowly seize power is acceptable.
Cai Hao only needed to win over some more people, and then suddenly seized power and suddenly took Liu Biao off the ground.
“Master Cai, doing this is good for you. It is convenient for you to control Jingzhou. It takes three to five years to control Jingzhou. It is much better than starting a swordsman. After you go back, you will divide the benefits to other families. It will be good then. Do it.”
Cai Hao was persuaded and agreed to Zhang Yu’s plan. He waited for three to five years.
In fact, Zhang Yu supported Cai Hao’s seizure of power, and he was thoughtful, and this process of seizing power was his own opportunity.
Zhang Yu wanted to fully penetrate Cai Tao. Before she knew it, Cai Tao raised Liu Biao, and Zhang Yu raised Cai Tao. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
