Chapter 7: Cai Mao, Zhang Yun
Liu Biao'er has soft roots and has always listened to his wife's words. He also trusted Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, alienated his eldest son Liu Qi, and became close to his second son Liu Cong.
Cao Cao attacked LΓΌ Bu, and Liu Biao watched from the wall. The battle of Guandu did not save Yuan Shao. Considered by the world to be a self-defended thief, soft and incompetent.
This is not without reason. But there is one thing, Liu Biao will never give up easily.
Since he is a self-defending thief, it is impossible to give up Jingzhou and exercise the authority in his hands. In fact, in history, if Liu Biao had not died of illness, Cao Cao went south, Liu Biao appointed a general to fight the war, but the outcome is still unknown.
Northerners go south, are not good at water warfare, and are prone to illness. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao said. "The Battle of Chibi was worth the disease, and the lonely burning ship retreated, which made Zhou Yu get this name in vain."
This sentence must be somewhat covered, but the Northern Army is sick, and it should be true.
Therefore, if Liu Biao can hold on to one or two, the Northern Army may not be able to win.
In this case, Liu Biao was also reluctant to give up Jingzhou to Liu Bei, because at the moment, Liu Bei's power far exceeded that of Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao is in the north and has a bad reputation, the current heroes in Jingzhou are either dissatisfied with Cao Cao and went south to avoid trouble, or they grew up in Jingchu and did not obey the north.
No one obeyed Cao Cao.
And Liu Bei has established kindness and righteousness since Tun Xinye, and has made friends with heroes, and the threat is naturally above Cao Cao. The so-called danger of mountains and rivers is not as good as consolidating people's hearts.
Liu Biao agreed with Cai Mao's words that cutting Liu Bei's grain and grass was out of his heart. At this moment, seeing Liu Bei crying so much, he said these words as soon as his ears were soft.
When you wake up, you naturally regret it.
"Brother, woo..... If it weren't for his brother Bei, how could he settle in Xinye, and I don't know when he will be displaced. Thank you, brother, thank you, brother. β
Liu Bei choked and couldn't cry.
At this moment, Liu Biao had come to his senses, but he only felt tired, and he smiled reluctantly to deal with Liu Bei. After that, he sent Liu Bei away to live in the guest house and ordered someone to entertain him.
"Someone, summon Cai Mao, Zhang Yun." After Liu Bei left, Liu Biao thought about it for a while, and then ordered someone to say.
Not to mention that Liu Biao summoned his henchmen, after Liu Bei left the Zhennan General's Mansion, he wiped the tears on his face, and his face returned to a deep one.
Since Liu Biao should undertake this matter, he has some room for maneuver. But if Liu Biao wants to regret it, it is also easy. After all, he has Jingzhou, but I am in the land of Xinye projectiles. Liu Bei looked at the sun that was about to set, and it was quite deep.
The ancients also praised Han Xin for the humiliation of his crotch, and Ji Bu for being able to destroy rigidity and softness. Nengqu Nengshen is her husband, so Liu Bei cried. But An Zhi's husband was also ashamed in his heart, if it wasn't for the fence, Liu Bei would not be willing to cry.
Immediately, Liu Bei, Chen Zhi and others went to the guest house to stay, and returned to Xinye tomorrow.
Soon after, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun came together. Cai Mao's face is like a crown of jade, with a beautiful beard, a slender figure, a black large-sleeved robe, and a Liu crown on her head.
Zhang Yun is younger than Cai Mao, with a strong body and is quite heroic.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are favored, this is not a fluke. Liu Xian came to Jingzhou with a gun, conspired with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, killed the thieves, and overlooked Jingzhou, so the place was thousands of miles, with a million household registrations and 100,000 armor.
The Kuai family and the Cai family are both Jingzhou clans, but Cai Mao is an important minister under Liu Biao, and Kuai Yue is idle at home, and he is just a military advisor and strategist, and he just makes ideas when he is in a hurry.
In addition to Cai Mao's ability to drill camps, it is also because Cai Mao's younger sister married Liu Biao as a steproom. As for Zhang Yun, he is Liu Biao's nephew.
The two of them are framed, and whoever is close to them will be given a good position. If you don't get close to them, you won't get a way to get there.
So Liu Qi was ostracized, and Liu Cong was favored. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others are currently idle at home, and more heroes are secretly communicating with Liu Bei.
It's no coincidence that the two came together, because the two had been drinking together before, and when they heard that Liu Biao had summoned them, they naturally came.
The two not only came, but also knew that Liu Biao had seen Liu Bei, and even knew what Liu Bei and Liu Biao said.
With the power of the two of them, plus Liu Biao's wife Cai, it is too easy to install eyes and ears in the Zhennan General's Mansion.
When the two arrived, they went straight into the lobby.
"My lord."
"Uncle."
After the two met together, Liu Biao asked them to sit down. After sitting down, Zhang Yun asked knowingly, "Why did my uncle summon me and Cai Junshi?" β
At present, Liu Biao uses Cai Mao as his military advisor, and Zhang Yun calls him so much.
Liu Biao's face showed a little coldness, and he said it again at Liu Bei's meeting. Then, he said coldly: "The day before yesterday, I discussed with you to reduce Liu Bei's money and food, and today Liu Bei is here." How many people in Jingzhou are facing Liu Bei and are Liu Bei's eyes and ears. How can I tolerate him? β
"But Liu Bei was crying so sadly, I had to promise to give more money and food. This matter, for the sake of it. Liu Biao resolutely refused to admit that his ears were soft, and blurted out his promise.
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun knows it, but naturally he will not expose Liu Biao.
"It's easy to do. Since the lord promised to give more money and food, it was naturally Ji Bu Yinuo. But we might as well mix the grain with sand and give him the moldy grain. Half good grain, half bad grain. Isn't this still a cut of his money and food? Cai Mao had a manuscript on the road, so she naturally answered calmly at this moment.
Liu Biao admired in his heart when he heard this, "It is worthy of being my military advisor." But then, he hesitated: "Is this too much?" β
After all, Liu Biao is a good-looking person, and he cherishes his reputation.
"Don't worry, my lord, Liu Bei knows what you mean when he gets bad grain, and he knows that there is no room for maneuver, so he won't do anything else, and he won't make a noise, so he can only swallow the bitter medicine."
Cai Mao said with a smile.
Liu Biao thought about it, but there was no other way. That's all he could do, so he nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be handled by the military advisor." β
"No." Cai Mao promised.
Liu Biao was old and frail, and he just dealt with Liu Bei's lack of energy at the moment, so he wanted to go down and rest. Just as Cai and Zhang were leaving, they saw Zhang Yun with a hesitant look on his face.
Liu Biao asked, "Yun'er, but is there something difficult?" β
Zhang Yun's face changed, and after all, he sighed and said, "Uncle." Brother Qi drunkenly rode a horse in Xiangyang City and killed a woman. Zhu Yongde, the Taishou of Xiangyang, didn't dare to enlighten his uncle, so he came to me privately. β
"Brother Qi and I are cousins, and this matter should have been hidden. But this matter is really bad for my uncle's reputation, so he hesitates. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Yun's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked.
"Rebel." Liu Biao was furious, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Come on, summon that rebel son to me." β
And Zhang Yun and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and they both smiled.
Liu Qi had a small mistake, so he was magnified by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Liu Cong had a big mistake, so he was covered up by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Liu Qi slipped into the abyss step by step.
