To be honest, at this time, the more Cai Mao looked at Huo Jun, the more suspicious Huo Jun felt. In his opinion, although Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao did not see any abnormalities on the surface, they might not be thinking about it in their hearts.

Cai Mao sneered at this time, "The war is tense? General Huo had a long chat with Liu Xuande today, right?"

Although Cai Mao was a question, Huo Jun could not hear his firm tone.

He said to himself that, it seems that what he said to Liu Xuande a few words on the top of the city was known to Cai Mao. In fact, thinking about it, Cai Mao has such great power, so it is not easy to arrange some spy in Linyuan City. So, naturally, he cannot escape the surveillance of spy sent by spy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking of this, Huo Jun said to Cai Mao: "General Cai, I have indeed met Liu Xuande today, but I just said a few words to him!"

In Huo Jun's view, the so-called "being upright and not afraid of shadow slanting" is that he is "being upright and walking straight", so what else is he afraid of? He and Liu Xuande have nothing at all. Can he still be afraid of you, Cai Mao, if you are not successful?

Cai Mao snorted coldly when he heard this, "Hmph, did you really just say a few words?"

When Huo Jun heard this, he thought to himself, what does Cai Mao mean? Do you want to be guilty of being punished? He could still be afraid of you, so he immediately said, "I don't know what General Cai means?"

Cai Mao patted the case with his right hand, "What do I mean? Don't you know yet?"

When Huo Jun saw it, he said, "I really don't know. Please let General Cai say it clearly!"

Huo Jun is now getting angry. He thought to himself that Liu Bei said something inexplicable when he said to him. After that, Cai Mao invited himself to the prefect's mansion. You asked me what it meant, and I wanted to ask you why it was like this.

I have to say that Huo Jun is also a very tempered and characterful person. He had to endure something because he had to take a lot of attention before. But now Cai Mao’s attitude really makes him not want to endure, so naturally he will not give Cai Mao any good face. At least in Huo Jun’s opinion, he still has to rely on himself to defend Lin Yuan, but even so, Cai Mao still treats himself like this, which really has to make him like this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cai Mao saw Huo Jun's expression and his tone of speaking. He knew that Huo Jun was a little dissatisfied. If he couldn't tell this, then it would be a waste of time. But looking at Huo Jun like this, to be honest, Cai Mao's dissatisfaction was even more serious. Why did he say this? In Cai Mao's opinion, it was normal for him to just say such a few words casually, but in Huo Jun's presence, he didn't say anything to him, and even expressed his dissatisfaction.

You know, the entire Jingzhou is still up to you. It’s not someone else’s decision. But in this way, Huo Jun dares to do this with him. Although it is true that Lin Yuan’s war still has to rely on him, if he is like this, he really has to doubt whether he has been bribed by Liu Xuande.

Cai Mao was indeed in a difficult situation at this time. After all, he didn't see whether Huo Jun was colluding with the enemy or was bribed by Liu Bei. It would be easier to kill Huo Jun, but he hasn't found out whether he was really colluding with the enemy. If it is true, then everything is easy to say, even if he kills him, he should. But if this is not the case, then Huo Jun is really killed, and then his own side will suffer a great loss.

The key is that Huo Jun is important. He is indeed very important to his Linyuan City. At least Cai Mao knew that if Huo Jun defended Linyuan City, then Liu Bei's army might not have any achievements for half a month. But if the person did not defend the city, then the city might be broken tomorrow and the next day. Cai Mao didn't know anything else, but he still knew very clearly about this matter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, I have to say that Cai Mao changed his face quite quickly. He smiled at Huo Jun, and Cai Mao said at this time: "Haha, General Huo, I'm just asking. I just want to know what General Huo and Liu Xuande said, there is no other meaning, absolutely nothing!"

Cai Maoxin said, if it weren't for your Huo Jun's side of being valuable, how could you talk to you like this? You dream, it's impossible, don't even think about it.

Seeing that Cai Mao also had the intention of pulling his words back, Huo Jun naturally could not have said coldly to Cai Mao. After all, no matter what, Cai Mao was actually the ruler in Jingzhou. If he wanted to kill himself, it would be no big difference from crushing an ant. Of course, Huo Jun was not afraid of him, but he just thought that it was troublesome, and of course the less, the better.

So Huo Jun also barely smiled, "General Cai, today I did say a few words to Liu Xuande, but he said some inexplicable words, yes..."

Then, Huo Jun told Cai Mao all the conversation between Liu Bei and him. Except for Liu Bei's words that he would not attack the city, he said everything else.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Cai Mao heard this, what Huo Jun said was not much different from what he reported. But he also knew that Huo Jun still didn't say anything, that was Liu Bei said that he would not attack the city today. As a result, Cai Mao became suspicious. He thought to himself that Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao deliberately did not want to say it, and felt it was unnecessary, or...

Cai Mao now has to doubt that the loss of Xiangyang and Jiangling before was directly related to the betrayal of his subordinates. Although Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, who guarded the city gate in Xiangyang, were not Cai Mao's subordinates, they were also considered Wenpin's subordinates. But the final result was.

As for Jiangling's defeat, let alone this. Cai Mao remembers clearly that it was Wen Pin's betrayal. He regretted it very much. If he had known this, he would have killed Wen Pin directly. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world.

So Cai Mao is the most unable to withstand other people's betrayal from others, especially his own subordinates. Although Huo Jun cannot be considered his direct subordinate, he is also his subordinate. This is true. If Huo Jun had not been of great use value, he would have asked someone to arrest Huo Jun and then tortured him. After all, Cai Mao didn't want anything like Wen Pin to happen again.

However, nowadays, Huo Jun must not be like Wen Pin before. So Cai Mao came up with another way. After all, he could not be sure of what the person was, so he could only take one step at a time. He still sent someone to monitor Huo Jun. Cai Mao believed that as long as he dared to take other actions, he should still get news. Cai Mao believed that he could control the person before he betrayed, or even kill him directly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After thinking of this, Cai Mao said, "So that's it. I know everything, General Huo please come back!"

When Huo Jun heard this, he thought to himself, Cai Mao was indeed just to see if he had any dirty things with Liu Xuande. Now you haven't noticed any abnormality, so he sent himself away. He said that since he got here, he hasn't even sat down. After asking you a few questions, he sent him away. Do you want me to come whenever you want me to go, and do you really think that Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao are made of mud? Can you just knead and rub it flat?

However, even though Huo Jun is dissatisfied, he will not express anything. After all, he knows that although he is dissatisfied, he has to admit that Cai Mao can indeed easily and simply kill him. There is no doubt that this is not a question.

So no matter how Huo Jun thought, he still said on the surface: "In this way, I will take my leave!"

Cai Mao nodded when he heard this, and didn't say much, just watched Huo Jun leave. However, although Huo Jun left, his suspicion was reduced at all.

For him, Huo Jun is indeed suspicious enough to be closely monitored.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huo Jun left the prefect's mansion with an extremely frustrated mood. To be honest, he really didn't want to be in the Jingzhou army anymore. It was because of Cai Mao that he naturally knew that Cai Mao was almost a one-handed person before. But at that time, his lord had not passed away yet, so even if Cai Mao had power, he had to take care of a lot. But now, his lord had passed away long ago, and no one could stop Cai Mao from doing things anymore, so Cai Mao must have taken care of much less than before.

And someone like him is not his direct line, but he is only because he has to rely on himself to deal with Liu Bei's army now. But if Liu Bei's army retreats and fails in Jingzhou and is useless, if he doesn't surrender to him, Cai Mao, he will probably be able to imagine his fate.

Of course Huo Jun is not stupid. He also knew that he could still live well and command the city of Linyuan because he had a great effect on him, Cai Mao, and other than that, there was nothing. So Huo Jun had to plan for him in the future, because although he thought he was good at his ability, he was captured by Liu Bei's army one day and he might run away with Cai Mao. I guess if that would happen, his fate...

I have to say that Huo Jun saw it quite clearly. At least Cai Mao didn't touch him for the time being, so he naturally knew why, but no one knew how long this situation could last. At least Cai Mao didn't know, Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, he also didn't know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the arrival of the new day, Liu Bei continued to prepare to implement his plan. After all, everyone had already discussed it. He performed quite well yesterday, but today he had to go on his own, but he had to perform well, right?

Liu Bei said to Wen Pin next to him, "It depends on Zhongye!"

"promise!"

Wen Pin knew it in his heart that it depends on himself today. Although he and Huo Jun were both generals of the Jingzhou Army before, Wen Pin didn’t feel anything about his own plot against Huo Jun. Did he not have the same plot against Huo Jun before? So what he had to do with Huo Jun, he should also taste the feeling of being plotted against by others. This is not that Wen Pin was jealous, but he was a little unwilling to accept it. (To be continued...)
