Hearing this,
Jiang Chen stole a glance at Cai Mao's expression and couldn't help but smile.
Smart people,
Even Jiang Chen had to admit that Cai Mao was a smart person.
Of course, this intelligence naturally did not refer to military strategies.
Let's not talk about other things first, this Cai Mao was indeed skilled in flattery.
In terms of official positions,
His current position was definitely inferior to him, the Navy Viceroy, but this Cai Mao analyzed the situation and actually flattered him. It could be seen that he was not a fool.
"Fine,"
"General Cai, please come in."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen smiled and waved at Cai Mao.
Cai Mao didn't hesitate at all. He laughed awkwardly and followed Jiang Chen into the room.
......
The place where Jiang Chen was living now.
It was actually beside the County Governor Manor where Cao Cao was.
Jiang Chen wasn't a local, so he didn't have a mansion in the city.
Although Cao Cao had promised to give Jiang Chen a house, Jiang Chen had considered the fact that the Jingzhou State was being attacked from all sides.
Based on the current situation,
He wouldn't be staying in Jing State for long, so he naturally saved this opportunity for the future.
However, the place where he lived now was quite luxurious.
At this moment, in the main hall.
"General Cai!"
"It's not about how I am."
"The prime minister has just recovered the nine counties of Jing and Xiang, and needs the support of the people.”
"You said that your men wanted to abduct a commoner's daughter to the government on the streets.”
"It's fine that I was frightened and wronged.”
"Prime Minister, this is difficult for me!"
Jiang Chen sighed helplessly as soon as he sat down. He looked at Cai Mao and said slowly, with a troubled expression.
Hearing this,
Cai Mao, who had just sat down, immediately stood up. He looked at Jiang Chen with a sad face, not knowing what to say.
Why was this necessary?
I'm already like this. Can't you just say it directly?
Why do you have to scare me?
"Mr. Jiang."
"I really don't know anything about this!”
"I've been busy with the Internet Water Army recently. I didn't know that this group of people would do this!”
"Please rest assured, sir."
"In a while, I will definitely explain this to all the officials in the city. I definitely won't ruin the Prime Minister's reputation!”
He could only pull!
Now, no matter what Jiang Chen said, Cai Mao could only go along with his words.
"Good!"
"Since General Cai has already said so.”
"Then I won't say anything more.”
"However, General Cai, I have a matter that I would like to ask General Cai for help with.”
Looking at Cai Mao's sorrowful face, Jiang Chen smiled in his heart, but he still looked very embarrassed.
"Sir, please say it. This general will not refuse!”
Cai Mao answered without hesitation.
It's finally time for the main topic. If you continue, I'll really be played to death by you.
"General Cai, there's no need to be so polite."
"This is not for myself, but for the great cause of the Prime Minister.”
"General has been in Jing State for many years."
"Moreover, the Jing State had a bad relationship with the Sun family of River East.”
"My guess is that you have many spies in River East, right?”
Looking at Cai Mao, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate to tell him what he was thinking.
Cao Cao might not even have spies in Jiangdong, but there would definitely be spies in Jingzhou.
Back then, when the 18th Vassal attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian of Jiangdong was killed by Huang Zu and Liu Biao.
Because of this relationship, Jiangdong had some friction with Jingzhou over the years.
Jiang Chen was sure that Cai Mao had many spies in River East. He had to use Cai Mao in his plan!
"A spy?"
"Sir, do you want to?"
Cai Mao frowned instinctively when he heard Jiang Chen's words. He looked at Jiang Chen with hesitation.
The identity of the spy had always been a secret.
Now that Jiang Chen had suddenly asked him about it, Cai Mao was naturally on guard.
"Don't worry, General."
"I want General to help me find out something.”
Seeing Cai Mao frown, Jiang Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He took a sip of tea calmly and said leisurely.
It was normal for him to hesitate.
Jiang Chen wasn't afraid that Cai Mao wouldn't agree to it. First of all, it was just a small matter that he wanted Cai Mao to investigate for him.
People like Cai Mao,
Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't tell him everything about the plan.
.....
As soon as he finished speaking,
The entire room quickly fell silent.
Cai Mao stood where he was, frowning, as if he was thinking about something. Jiang Chen drank his tea slowly.
After a long silence,
Cai Maocai let out a long sigh, then looked at Jiang Chen and said seriously,""What do you want me to investigate, sir?"
It's not that Cai Mao is timid,
This spy was a secret. If Cao Cao asked about it, Cai Mao would not hesitate.
But…
Jiang Chen wasn't a general or an official in the army yet. He was just a strategist!
Now that this advisor had privately asked him to use spies to help him investigate some information, how could Cai Mao not think about it?
Looking at Cai Mao's serious face, Jiang Chen smiled and put down the cup.
"General, don't be nervous."
"I only want you to investigate a small matter.”
"Even if the Prime Minister knew, he wouldn't blame me.”
He slowly stood up.
Jiang Chen walked up to Cai Mao and patted him on the shoulder. He was smiling the whole time.
However,
This kind of smile was simply too frightening to Cai Mao. Who would believe that you would spend so much effort just to inquire about a small matter?
From what you're saying, the Prime Minister doesn't know?
Demons!
Cai Mao finally understood why Cao Ren was so excited when he heard Jiang Chen's name.
It was really tiring to get along with someone who could control you!
If he was not careful, he would be on the pirate ship!
"Sigh. General, why are you sweating?"
"No need to be nervous, really."
"I just want you to find out if this Jiang Dong Da Qiao is dead or alive.”
"When I was young, I heard of the strange women of River East, Xiao and Xiao Qiao.”
"Unfortunately, I've never been to River East before, and I don't have the chance to go now.”
"So I can only ask General to help me.”
Looking at Cai Mao's sweaty face, even Jiang Chen didn't know what Cai Mao was thinking. He hurriedly told him his plan.
Small matter!
It was really a small matter!
Why don't you believe me?
If someone who didn't know better saw your cold sweat face, they would think that I did something to you!
"Um."
"Just this?"
However, Cai Mao was stunned when he heard Jiang Chen's words. He looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
Huh?
Just this?
Then did you have to make it so scary?
Good heavens, he even closed the door so that the outside wouldn't hear!
And that unfathomable expression of yours, are you really trying to scare me?
"This one!" Jiang Chen didn't hesitate. He looked at Cai Mao and nodded with a smile.
He was stunned.
He was really stunned.
Looking at Jiang Chen's smiling face, Cai Mao even wanted to curse.
Can't you just say it face to face?
Just this?
"Please rest assured, sir. I will immediately send someone to inquire about the news.”
"In that case, I will take my leave first…"
Shaking his head helplessly, Cai Mao grumbled in his heart before agreeing.
Then, he turned around and wanted to leave.
He couldn't stay any longer. He really couldn't stay in this room.
It was too tiring to sit with such a person. It was even more tiring than meeting Cao Cao. Who could withstand this?
In this regard,
Jiang Chen didn't stop him.
Jiang Chen didn't like people like Cai Mao. If he had performed well, he might have been able to save his life.
If he didn't perform well, what was the use of a person who wouldn't live for long?
Looking at Cai Mao's back, Jiang Chen didn't feel a ripple in his heart. Everything was going according to his plan.
But…
Just as Cai Mao was about to step out of the room, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly changed, as if he had heard something.
Then,
Cai Mao, who wanted to leave this troublesome place immediately, heard Jiang Chen's voice coming from behind him again.
"Right!"
"General Cai, I almost forgot.”
"Don't take back the two boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry you brought over. They're quite heavy!”
"Get someone to move it in,"
"I don't have any servants here. The general definitely can't bear for a scholar like me to carry such heavy things, right?”
Hearing this,
Cai Mao's foot, which was about to take a step forward, froze in place. Then he turned his head stiffly and looked at Jiang Chen, who looked calm, with a smile.
"Alright!"
