Chapter Ninety-One: A Deal with Cai Mao

"Since it's your fellow countryman, I'll give you a mission! In any case, try to keep this person as much as possible. ”

"Fu Tong! You say he's Fu Tong? ”

At first, Zhang Yong didn't notice it, but when he came back to his senses... The voice suddenly rose, and the eyes that looked at the man became hotter and hotter.

"The Metropolitan Governor knows the Honorable Dao?"

For a while, Wei Yan looked at Zhang Yong's gaze with a little curiosity.

Although Fu Tong has a slight reputation in the Yiyang area, it is far from reaching the point of spreading the word in Hanzhong, right?

"No... I don't know! I'll leave this matter to you! ”

Sensing his gaffe, Zhang Yongsheng was afraid that Wei Yan would ask questions, so he gaged a few words, and then led Meng Qiu away.

But at the moment when Zhang Yong turned around, there was joy in his eyes... Go without saying.

What kind of person is Fu Tong! In terms of reputation, this person is far inferior to the Five Tigers of Shu Han, but he is also a brave general and loyal man who dares to fight, and his son Fu Yi is also a heavy general in the late Shu Han Dynasty, a double hero.

If you can get Fu Tong's service,... It's really a sure win.

……

"Governor, where are we going now?"

Walking out of the school field, the flow of people dispersed, reminiscing about the fierce battle between Yang Ping and Fu Tong, Meng Qiu felt a feeling of unfinished.

If he could see the fight between martial artists of the same level, Meng Qiu felt that his own path would be clearer, breaking through the refining of gods... It's just a matter of time.

"Cai Deqi has been here for a few days, we have been cold for a few days, and it's time to meet him today!"

Suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, Zhang Yong went to the north of the city, and there was a little more light in his eyes.

......

Half an hour, I saw Zhang Yong, Meng Qiu and several personal guards come to a mansion in the north of the city.

I have to say that Cai, as one of the four great families in Jingzhou, is indeed proud enough.

As the head of the Cai family, Cai Mao did not have the slightest intention of saving on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and on the second day of coming to Nanxiang, he ordered someone to buy a house of more than ten acres and moved in.

"Let's go and report, the Metropolitan Governor is coming to visit!"

His eyes stayed on Zhang Yong for a moment, and the Jingzhou soldiers guarding the courtyard immediately turned around and ran towards the courtyard.

"Why did the Metropolitan Governor come to the door in person, if there is anything, just send someone to send a letter, and Mao will come to the door to pay respects!"

It didn't take long to see a man in his fifties leading several Jingzhou armor soldiers to meet him quickly, it was not Cai Mao, who was it.

Although I have some resentment towards Zhang Yong's avoidance in the past few days, but... At this moment, after all, it is in Nanxiang, not in Xiangyang, and Cai Mao can only suppress the unhappiness in her heart.

"The general of the military division said seriously, the general of the military division came to Nanxiang for a few days, and he did not have time to meet the general, but he was always at fault in the first place, and the hospitality was not good, and he did not come to pay his respects in person... I always feel that I have neglected the general. ”

For Cai Mao, Zhang Yong felt that it was just like that.

Cai Mao, as a hardcore voter in Jingzhou's civil and military forces, Zhang Yong does not feel that he has the possibility of being wooed, and the only expectation is... Maybe it's just before Cao's army goes south, with interests as a link... Try to pit Cai's handout.

"The military and government of the seven counties are in ruins, and the metropolitan governor has every opportunity... Mao understands in her heart! Please! ”

Seeing Zhang Yong giving face like this, putting his posture so low... Cai Mao was stunned, and her heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

In an instant, Cai Mao had an illusion, maybe... This Zhang Yong Xiaoer didn't deliberately avoid him, he deliberately hung him, it may be that he is really busy.

"I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor's visit is this time!"

In the courtyard, everyone sat down in turn, in order to show respect for Zhang Yong, Cai Mao, the big man who was in charge of the power in Jingzhou, also had to sit on an equal footing with Zhang Yong, vacating the main seat.

"Naturally, I came here to solve the troubles in the general's heart."

Looking at Cai Mao's calm and puzzled face, Zhang Yong couldn't help but curse secretly: Old fox.

Don't say anything else, but in terms of dough, Zhang Yong feels that he is too far behind these old foxes.

"In this way, the Metropolitan Governor wants to release the thousands of sons and daughters of my Jingchu who were captured."

"Isn't this exactly what the military division general is here for!"

"So, great good! The Metropolitan Governor could put forward any conditions, as long as they were within the scope of his authority, and he would agree to them. ”

Seeing Zhang Yong so refreshing, Cai Mao's face shook, and her expression relaxed slightly, the words of response that she had come up with in the past few days... For a while, it was all blocked in my throat.

"It's still the general of the military division!

Liu Jingsheng cut down my tomb for no reason, and did a lot of injustice, causing six thousand sons and daughters in my Hanzhong to die on the battlefield, and countless wives and elders suffered the pain of losing their husbands and children. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor laughed, as far as I know, this battle has lasted for several months, and the loss of soldiers in Hanzhong is less than 3,000... How can you say that there are six thousand! ”

Shaking his head, Cai Mao directly denied the authenticity of Zhang Yong's words.

Jingzhou is rich, and Liu Jingsheng did give him a lot of permission, but no matter how rich he is... It can't be slaughtered like that.

Otherwise... Before he returned to Jingzhou, his Cai Mao's infamy would have spread all over Jingzhou.

"Ahem! Furthermore... These thousands of captured soldiers in Jingzhou have been detained in our Fangling for nearly two months, with food, clothing, shelter and transportation... Plus recuperation, hygiene... The loss of all kinds of uses is very large.

Never be embarrassed by the generals of the army, a fixed price, 500,000 stone of grain and grass, 5,000 sets of armor, and 50 million money.

As long as the military division and general agree, I will send a message to Fang Ling and ask Yang Ang to release him. Of course... If the general of the military division can't be the master, he can also let people return to Xiangyang and ask Liu Jingsheng for instructions. ”

"You don't need to ask the governor for instructions, the price of the governor is too high! Soldiers, money, and money can be the master of the promise, but the grain and grass... The Grand Governor wants too outrageous, at most 200,000 stones. ”

"If the Metropolitan Governor agrees, I will make an alliance with the Metropolitan Governor, and if the Metropolitan Governor is unwilling... I'm afraid that these thousands of Jingzhou sons and daughters, most of the governors will have to recuperate for a while longer. ”

Looking at Zhang Yong's appearance of a lion's mouth, Cai Mao felt that she suddenly had a toothache.

Isn't this Hanzhong prince Mo not having a concept of grain and grass?

What is the concept of 500,000 stones?

It is enough to support 100,000 people to launch a large-scale campaign that lasts for several months, and although Jingzhou's official warehouse is rich in rice and millet, it will take out 500,000 stone at once, and it will have to be delayed for a while.

"500,000 stones! Do military generals really think more?

Liu Jingsheng is bent on involving my Hanzhong Zhang family, and he always has to come up with something to resist the pressure brought by Cao's army in Jingzhou in Nanyang.

But... For the sake of the general's face, 200,000 stone is 200,000 stone. ”

200,000 stone of grain and grass, 5,000 sets of armor, and 50 million money.

These things are not too little, and at least they can alleviate the current predicament of the seven counties that are short of money and food, and speed up the progress of army expansion and reorganization.

"Since the Metropolitan Governor agrees, I will send a message to Xiangyang and ask people to prepare money, food, and armor."

Seeing how Zhang Yong readily agreed, Cai Mao was slightly stunned.

When did he Cai Mao's face open so much? It was worth 300,000 stones.

"Wait a minute, General Commander!

These things... Liu Jingsheng should still have room for the general, right!? ”

"What does the Metropolitan mean? 200,000 stones... Didn't the Governor already agree? How..."

Frowning, Cai Mao looked at Zhang Yong's gaze, unconsciously with a bit of sharpness.

"The general of the military division has misunderstood! Yong doesn't mean anything else, it's just..."

Thinking of all the actions he had seen in society in his previous life, the corners of Zhang Yong's mouth lifted a trace of arc, and his smile was a little weird.

Money and food, in this day and age, no amount is too much, especially after a few months... A big war that stirs up the world, and it is always a good thing to prepare a lot.

"It's just... Want to do business with the general? ”

"Business? What does the Governor mean? ”

With high eyebrows, Cai Mao suddenly had a feeling that she couldn't figure out Zhang Yong's routine.

From the very beginning, he was led by Zhang Yong's unruly routine, which he had not encountered in more than ten years... It's a little uncomfortable.

"200,000 stone of grain and grass, 5,000 sets of armor, and 50 million money is my bottom limit, but further up... No matter how much you want, you can call the shots... Thirty percent of them will go to Jingxiang Cai. ”

As a common stepping stone in the past life, the times change... Zhang Yong doesn't think the power of "kickbacks" will be reduced much.

Times may change, but the nature of people to seek profit... It doesn't always become.

"What do you mean, the Grand Duke! It's going to kill my Cai... Or is it deliberately humiliating Yu so-and-so! ”

After hesitating for a moment, I saw Cai Mao suddenly shoot the case and say angrily to Zhang Yong.

If these things are spread today, even if the Cai family is Liu Biao's descendant and in-law, believe it or not, Liu Biao will turn his face and deny people in the blink of an eye, and peel off a layer of skin from Cai's body!

"General rest assured! This matter is only in the ears of the three of us, and no outsiders will know about it. ”

Although Cai Mao's anger is bursting now, Zhang Yong... In a moment, I still noticed Cai Mao's hesitation... Heart.

At this moment, all of Cai Mao's performances are nothing more than the layer of skin that has not yet been pulled off the surface.

"General Advisor! Now the situation in Jingzhou is turbulent, the Cao army in the north is ready to move, Xinye Liu Bei is ambitious, and the heart of Jingzhou is immortal, and the money, grain, and armor in Jingzhou's official warehouse are either lost in the war, or they are obtained by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and they will not fall into the hands of the Cai family.

Moreover... Liu Jingsheng was seriously ill and died soon. What are the scruples of the generals? ”

"The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be together for a long time! In this chaotic world, sooner or later, characters like Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Guangwu will be unified again. Whether the world returns to the Han family in the future, or is it obtained by Cao Cao, when the world is decided, who will have the right to speak? Have you ever considered it? Which generals are they? Or the new elite? ”

"These people may have both! Can... In a certain opinion, only the scholars will always have the right to speak in the world... Family. In the end, no matter who gets the world, if they want to calm these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, they are indispensable for the support of our scholars and families. Can... Whether it is my Hanzhong Zhang family, or the Jingxiang Cai family of the military general, in the final analysis, they are just a county and a state family, far inferior to the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Cui family... The Yang family, the world's top family, is destined to have limited voice in the future. ”

"The world is not quiet, it is the opportunity for you and my two clans to take advantage of the situation, as long as we seize the opportunity and accumulate strength, we have never been unable to stand side by side with these top families and inherit them for thousands of years."

"Of course, if the general of the military division really has no intention, it will be treated as if Zhang didn't say it!"
