Naturally, Cai Mao couldn't say anything directly, but after understanding Zhang Yun's intentions, his heart became active.

On the second day, Liu Ke raised his account to discuss how to capture Fancheng, and Cai Zhong, who had just been conferred a high position, was among them.

Cai Zhong expressed his intentions, and Liu Ke took the initiative to come out as soon as he finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, although Fancheng is solid, a strong attack will definitely destroy the army, but the general will be sure to help His Majesty take down Fancheng without spending a single soldier!"

Cai Zhong's performance made others disdain, but he didn't care at all, he just waited for Liu Ke to speak.

Sure enough, Liu Ke was very happy after hearing his words.

"Aiqing is really loyal! She has offered advice many times since she came here, please help Shunhou to speak freely!"

Receiving Liu Ke's praise, Cai Zhongzhong began to speak happily.

"Your Majesty, Cai Mao, the guard of Fancheng, is the elder brother of the minister. Since he joined Sun Ce, he has never been valued by the other party.

He was even often made things difficult and made fun of by people from the Jiangdong faction.Therefore, he did not follow Sun Ce wholeheartedly.

The reason for this is entirely because he has not met the Ming Lord.Now His Majesty is going south to Jingxiang, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.

Coupled with the fact that he is wise and martial, and thirsty for talents, he must yearn for it.

If His Majesty allows, the final general is willing to come to Fancheng in person and persuade him to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, so Fancheng will naturally be won without a fight! "

Liu Kewen was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, Marquis Cai will be the first to make the most of the contribution, and I will reward you heavily.

Then I would trouble you to go there and pass on my intention, if Cai Mao and Zhang Yunguo can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and dedicate the city to submission.

I enfeoffed Cai Mao as Marquis of Fancheng, leading the general who seeks captives, and Zhang Yun as Marquis of Shunyi, who led the general of Pingyi.

For the rest of the officers and men, they will be promoted to three ranks, and they will all be rewarded! "

In order to ensure the other party's trust, Liu Ke was very sincere, and even ordered Xun Yu to write a special edict and hand it over to Cai Zhong.

Cai Zhong got the edict and rushed to Fancheng overnight.

Although Cai Zhong had already surrendered, almost all the guards in Fancheng were his old acquaintances, so Cai Zhong entered the city without any effort.

Cai Mao was about to take a rest, when someone reported that Cai Zhong had arrived suddenly, so he hurried out to meet him.

"Brother Zhong, could it be that you ran back while Liu Ke wasn't paying attention?"

Cai Zhong replied with a smile: "No, no. Elder brother, I did not escape privately this time, but I was ordered by His Majesty to come back again."

When Cai Mao heard this, he immediately pretended to be unhappy and said, "Huh? Fortunately, after you fell into the enemy's hands, my brother was always up and sleeping all night, worrying about your safety.

Unexpectedly, you were the one who became a marquis and a general, and now you are a lobbyist for Liu Ke! "

"Brother, calm down, brother, calm down!"

Seeing that the other party was slightly angry, Cai Zhong hurriedly comforted him, got a cup of tea from the side, and served it to Cai Mao himself.

"Brother, I have something to say, please think about it. Although Sun Ce is strong, he only knows how to rely on cronyism, and the people who value him are all from Jiangdong.

He didn't pay much attention to me and the old Jingzhou Ministry, and even let others despise us.All kinds of behaviors, needless to say, I have experienced it earlier than my elder brother.

But His Majesty is not the case. Although my younger brother is not talented, he is still favored by His Majesty, and he is granted the title of Assistant Shunhou and Lieutenant of Dianjun.

With my brother's great talent, if he can really turn his back on the dark and turn to the light, I'm afraid the grace will be even greater, and even the younger brother will have to rely on his elder brother.

Wouldn't it be far better than receiving second-level qi here?Although the younger brother is a lobbyist this time, he is also here for the future of the elder brother! "

After Cai Mao heard it, he was actually tempted, but he didn't agree immediately, otherwise it seemed that he was too spineless.

Instead, he pretended to be reserved and said: "Brother already understands what I said. It's just that this matter is important and concerns the future of the soldiers.

Brother can't make the decision alone, brother should discuss with the soldiers before making a decision! "

Seeing this, Cai Zhong was not in a hurry, but instead said: "It's just right, I know all the old Jingzhou people. Why don't you let me go with my brother to meet them!

This is also more convincing! "

Cai Mao thought for a moment, then readily agreed.

In fact, it was a discussion with the generals, but in fact Cai Mao only sent someone to invite Zhang Yun.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yun, who had just fallen asleep, was brought here.

He looked at Cai Mao sleepily, not knowing why the other party dragged him here in the middle of the night.

Cai Hao was not in a hurry, and said slowly, "Brother Yun, please don't take offense when we disturb each other late at night."

"Brother Mao, I'm in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Cai Mao smiled mysteriously: "Brother Yun is only allowed to meet one person!"

Said, Cai Hao clapped his hands together, and saw a familiar figure slowly walking out from behind the curtain.

"Cai Zhong! Didn't you surrender to Liu Ke?"

After seeing who came, Zhang Yun couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Cai Zhong said with a smile: "Brother Yun, don't come here without any problems!"
