Chapter 1327 Cai Mao's Wisdom
When Zhang Xian died, the poisonous stinger behind Liu Biao was removed.
But will Ma Qiang let Liu Biao recuperate peacefully until the war begins?
Of course not!
Ma Qiang has been in Ji County for so long. In addition to convening troops and generals for Guandong and supervising Cao Cao, there is another thing to stare at Cao Cao and let him be an accomplice for himself.
Not to mention anything else, Cao Cao and other top second-generation officials have very wide connections.
Liu Biao's confidant Cai Mao was having a relationship with Cao Cao to drink and pick up girls and sleep with women.
With such a deep friendship, it's time to play a role!
Liu Biao learned the news that Zhang Xian is dead and Changsha is decommissioned from the radio broadcast.
Well, the person who was delivering the good news was still on the way, and Ji County's posthumous edict had already declared the world.
This made Liu Biao feel uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
But Liu Biao did not make a big fuss out of caution. He waited until Huang Zu's war report was delivered to him that he announced that Changsha had been quelled and the Jingnan Rebellion was about to be completely quelled.
After all, the four counties in Jingnan are led by Changsha. Now Wuling and Changsha have been pacified, and it is only a matter of time before the other two counties surrender.
"This is a happy event for the victory of the army. Why is the husband not very happy?"
Looking at Cai Yan who was walking towards her, Liu Biao smiled and walked up to hold the tenderloin and said, "It is naturally worthy of happiness to be calmed down in the Jingnan Rebellion."
But Ma Ziyu has won in Liangzhou, which makes me worry."
"Didn't you say that the Qiang people are still making trouble in Liangzhou?"
"Hey, so what if those Qiang people are having a fuss? Even they can't score in Guanzhong!"
As an older generation of Han officials, Liu Biao had his own worldview. In his opinion, foreign races such as the Qiang people were all tinea scabies for the Han Dynasty. As long as Ma Ziyu was willing to give up some of the interests in Liangzhou, the Qiang Rebellion could be quelled immediately.
"By the way, husband, since General Huang has won a great victory, how should he reward him?"
Speaking of this, Liu Biao couldn't help but frown again.
Huang Zu already has a lot of troops. If he adds his position, the triangular balance of Jingzhou will be broken.
This doesn't work.
But if you don’t reward your contributions, Liu Biao is afraid that Huang Zu will have a strange intention.
Alas, I feel tired!
"What are the opinions of Madam?"
In fact, this was also something Liu Biao asked casually, and he didn't really want Cai Yan to give him any good ideas.
"I want to see this... I might as well call General Huang as the governor of Jiaozhou! Let General Huang continue to lead troops to fight against Jiaozhou."
"Jiaozhou?"
"Yes, I heard that the Zhu brothers in Yuzhang and Sun Ce are becoming increasingly nervous. When the two armies are fighting, will your husband take the opportunity to seize Jiaozhou?"
Liu Biao nodded.
He had previously received news that there might be turmoil in Jiaozhou, because Zhu Fu had been with Zhu Hao in Yuzhang, and supplies needed to be transported from Jiaozhou, which was a lot of damage. Zhu Fu increased taxes to supply the army, which made the scholars and citizens in Jiaozhou very dissatisfied.
The Jiaozhou gentry was headed by Guangxin Shishi, and the head of the family was Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi.
Although Shi Xie did not have the ambition to fight for the world, he wanted to seize the rule of the country. He took advantage of Zhu Fu's absence and gradually won over the hearts of many officials and local barbarians in Jiaozhou, and waited patiently for the opportunity.
If we can join forces with Sun Ce to attack the Zhu Fu brothers and divide the Yuzhang and Jiaozhou, it would be a good idea.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao couldn't help but smile and touch Cai Yan's hand and said, "I didn't expect that the wife has such talent, she can be said to be a female Zhang Liang!"
Cai Yan was said this and gave Liu Biao a blank look. The coquettish look made Liu Biao's old brother unable to help but feel a little excited.
Liu Biao, one of the eight horses in the past, was still shameless and did not do anything to proclaim lust in the daytime. Instead, he immediately wrote a secret letter and sent someone to Huang Zu, asking him to completely pacify Jingnan and station troops in Jingnan, promising that if he could take Jiaozhou, he would be the governor of Jiaozhou.
At the same time, Liu Biao sent Wu Ju to lead the magistrate of Changsha County, Lai Gong as the magistrate of Wuling County, and sent general Huo Du as the magistrate of Shaxian County.
Sha Xian is a county in Jiangxia. Liu Biao's move has affected Huang Zu's foundation. He wants to use this to test Huang Zu's current attitude towards him.
On the other hand, Cai Yan found an excuse to return to Cai’s Mansion.
"Brother, I have told the envoy to tell Huang Zu not to come back in Jingnan as you requested. You can tell me now, what do you want to do, right?"
Cai Mao replied with a smile, "Sister, everything I do is for you, for our Cai family!
I'll show you something, sister, you will understand!"
As he said that, Cai Mao took out a letter mysteriously, opened it and showed it to Cai Yan.
When Cai Yan saw that it was a good thing in front of her, she was talking about the past in Luoyang, but afterwards, she changed her mind and wrote to the letter saying that the world was basically a foregone conclusion, and Liu Biao would be defeated by the Northern Army sooner or later, and advised Cai Mao to make plans early.
The person who signed the letter was Cao Cao.
this!!
This is a letter to the enemy!!!
Cai Yan raised her hand to try to seize the letter, but was snatched back by Cai Mao.
"Sister, it seems ok, but it can't be done. Although this paper is small, it affects the lives of hundreds of people from our Cai family!"
"You still know!"
Cai Yan turned around and looked at the closed door and continued, "Wouldn't you be afraid that our Cai family will be destroyed by your brother-in-law if you do this?"
"I'm just worried that our Cai family will be destroyed, so that's how it is!" Cai Mao said naturally, "Sister, think about it, who is this Jingzhou?
It’s from the Han Dynasty. After all, it’s from the Han Dynasty, not from him Liu Biao!
He, Liu Biao, was just a state governor who served as the emperor's herder!
Now the emperor is in the general. If the emperor wants to withdraw his brother-in-law's position as a state governor and lead the army southward, what should our Cai family do?
Resist the general's troops with your brother-in-law?
My brother-in-law beat Zhang Xian and was useless, let alone the general Ma Ziyu who eliminated Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others one by one!
OK, let’s not talk about whether we can fight or not. Even if we win, can my brother-in-law still swallow the Central Plains and become the next Emperor of Guangwu?
He is in his fifties! His health is getting worse day by day. Does my sister really think he is Taizu?
Instead of being buried with us at that time, we might as well think of a way out now!"
"But doesn't Ma Ziyu hate our aristocratic family the most?"
"Those are stupid people! The general does value the poor Guizhou heads, but he is also using the children of aristocratic families!
Mr. Lu and others don’t count, we are even the general’s confidant subordinates.
Duan Ying, his father is Duan Bing, is he considered a child of a noble family?
Guo Jia, the Guo family in Yingchuan!
Jia Xu, Wuwei Jia family!
Brothers Xianyufu, Yuyang clan!
Which of these people is not a child of aristocratic families? They are from a large family. Does the general need them?
The general just wanted to divide some of our fields, just like Emperor Guangwu in the past.
What should we do when we resist? I think it is not only necessary to divide, but we also have to take the initiative to divide it!
As long as we are still there and the official position is still there, can't these things come back?"
As he said that, Cai Mao's eyes were filled with the light of wisdom.
"Sister, if we could hand over Jingzhou to the general intact, you can imagine what reward we, Cai, would get!
Then Liu Yu offered Youzhou and got the position of county magistrate. Once again, can we always get a village marquis, right?
Chapter completed!
