At the same time, in order to balance the Cai family, Liu Cong immediately arranged for Cai Mao's two cousins to come out, Cai Zan as the Zigui County Commander, and Cai Yan as the Anlu County Commander. Regardless of whether Cai Mao accepted it or not, Liu Cong felt that he had released a signal in Cai's favor.

Cai Lin gradually calmed down after experiencing the initial shock, men in this era, especially aristocratic men, concubines are too common and things.

If Cai Lin insisted on obstructing Liu Cong at this time, she also knew that not only would she not be able to achieve her goal, but she would be despised by Liu Cong, and even endanger her status after the concubine entered the door, so when she said that she wanted Cai Lin to give herself a child, Cai Lin felt that Liu Cong still hurt herself.

In fact, Cai Lin's feeling is not wrong.

For Liu Cong, although Wen Rui and Han Yi are both good girls, there is still a distance from love, especially Wen Rui, Liu Cong has almost no contact except for the hero saving the beauty back then.

Cai Lin is different, gentle, kind and wise, and is often Liu Cong's virtuous helper.

So Liu Cong really tried to make up for Cai Lin, in addition to promoting Cai Lin's maternal cousin, he was tired of being with Cai Lin when he had nothing to do.

Cai Lin is everyone's best girl, and the atmosphere she showed made Liu Cong very moved.

Liu Cong didn't even shy away from saying to Cai Lin: "Lin'er, if the two of them enter the door in the future, you have to get along in harmony, you can't bully them." ”

Cai Lin was silent, no one can say anything about this kind of thing, if everyone keeps to themselves, this family will naturally be harmonious, and everything will be prosperous. Cai Lin also has some understanding of Liu Cong's ambitions, and of course she doesn't want a few women in her family to affect Liu Cong.

And when Liu Cong told Han Yi the news of accepting two concubines at the same time, the little girl couldn't hold it back anymore, she cried with a look of grievance, if it weren't for the innkeeper who knew that it was Liu Cong who went in, she would have reported to the government a long time ago.

Liu Cong persuaded for a while, and Han Yi finally stopped a little, but the two pink fists kept beating Liu Cong's chest.

"You badass! You big liar......"

Liu Cong also looked helpless, and he didn't know what to say to comfort Han Yi at this time. Han Yi's personality is more extroverted, but how can Liu Cong not know about his own thoughts?

First come and then come, Han Yi always thought that she and Liu Cong hated to see each other late, and when she returned to Changsha and couldn't see Liu Cong for a long time, she realized that she probably could only pretend to be Liu Cong in her life, so she made up her mind not to marry Liu Cong, so that after hearing the news of Cao Cao's southern expedition, she led her personal guards and some family members who were trained in peacetime to Xiangyang as soon as she heard the news of Cao Cao's southern expedition.

Han Yi and Cai Lin have been in contact for a period of time, and they also know that Cai Lin is a beautiful girl, and she should not suffer hardship if she marries Liu Cong as a concubine, and Han Yi has a good martial arts and can follow Liu Cong to fight in the south and the north, so Han Yi even privately thinks that she and Liu Cong may spend more time together than Cai Lin.

In his father's place, Han Yi also tried his best, but fortunately, Liu Cong's actions were quite appreciated by Han Xuan.

Han Xuan's mind is very simple, now it is a troubled time, who will finally win the world is unknown, she is such a precious daughter, she likes Liu Cong, Liu Cong is now the lord of Jingzhou, General Pingnan, and a member of the royal family.

Although the status of the concubine is not as good as that of the main wife, if Liu Cong can taste the buds of the third prince or even the king, then Han Yi is more noble than the ordinary county lady and Mrs. Taishou even if she is a concubine.

Han Xuan has asked countless people, and his expectations for Liu Cong are still quite high.

After Han Yi got his father's consent, he was even more outspoken, and the first thing he did when he went to Fancheng was to find Liu Cong to force him to marry, and now he heard that Liu Cong wanted to take two concubines at the same time, which was a little unacceptable.

To put it mildly, Liu Cong was almost as good as Hei Wenrui, and Han Yi quieted down. Although Han Yi is outgoing, he has heard that Liu Cong and Wen Rui have met only a few times. Only then was she a little relieved, she knew that Liu Cong was a person who valued love and righteousness, and she also liked herself.

After doing a good job of Cai Lin and Han Yi, Liu Cong arranged for Yi to go to Changsha to invite Han Xuan.

Whether she is a wife or a concubine, Han Xuan is such a baby daughter, and Liu Cong accepts two concubines at the same time, many things must be explained to Han Xuan face to face, of course, Liu Cong invited Han Xuan to Xiangyang There is another purpose.

Han Xuan is the Taishou of Changsha, and there is no problem with the benevolent government of Guangshi, but Changsha is part of Liu Congpin's zigzag defense system, and this place is destined to become the front line of the war, especially if Sun Quan is to be conquered eastward in the future, Changsha's location is even more important.

The most ideal candidate in Liu Cong's mind is Liu Pan, Liu Pan can indirectly support Ma Liang in Changsha, and Jiangdong Sun Quan does not dare to attack Jiangxia easily. In terms of official rank, the state assassin is at the same level as the county taishou, although Liu Cong is the state pastor, the leader of the troops, and the general of Pingnan, but the replacement of a county taishou is such a big thing, although the imperial court can't control this, Liu Cong still hopes that Han Xuan can agree.

Since it took a while for Xiangyang to travel back and forth to Linxiang City, the wedding date was postponed.

Time entered December, and Liu Cong ushered in another important guest, Jiangdong Lusu.

It turned out that after Zhou Yu withdrew from Xiakou, he returned to Wu County with his troops, and when Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao had returned from a defeat in the southern expedition, he moved his mind and prepared to go north to capture Hefei.

Because Ma Liang had previously sent an envoy to Jiangdong, Sun Quan wanted Lu Su to go to Xiangyang to implement the alliance with Liu Cong, even if Liu Cong could not send troops to feint to attack Xudu, at least he would not attack Chaisang when Sun Quan went north.

Sun Quanzhi also chose Lu Su for a reason.

Lu Su was originally a wealthy man, and was later introduced by Zhou Yu to Sun Quan, who once proposed a strategic plan for Sun Quan to reach Jiangdong, so he was appreciated by Sun Quan.

When Liu Biao died of illness, Lu Su said to Sun Quanjin: "Fu Jingchu is adjacent to the country, the water flows smoothly to the north, the Jiang and Han are brought outside, and the mountains and mausoleums are blocked inside. Now the table is newly dead, the two sons have never been harmonious, and the generals in the army have each other. plus Liu Bei is a hero in the world, and there is a gap with Cao, and he lives on the table, and he can't use it because he can do it.

If you are prepared to work with him and work together with the top and bottom, it is advisable to appease and form an alliance: if there is a deviation, it is advisable not to try to help the great things. Su had to be ordered to hang his cousin and his two sons, and comfort those who used things in his army, and said that he would be prepared to take care of the people, work with one heart, and govern Cao Cao together, and be prepared to be happy and obey his fate. If it is harmonious, the world can be determined. If you don't go quickly, I'm afraid you'll be the first."

It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Cong not only cleaned up Liu Bei, but also withstood Cao Cao's attack, because he was more determined to temporarily form an alliance with Jingzhou. Liu Cong expressed his goodwill first, and soon after Ma Liang returned to Jingzhou, Lu Su set off for Xiangyang.

Liu Cong asked himself, the Jiangdong naval army is far stronger than Jingzhou, especially from the beginning of Sun Ce, it is to fight in the east and west, and his soldiers are experienced, if it is almost impossible to fight with Sun Quan with these naval forces at present, and Cao Cao in the north is not yet dead, Liu Cong's best strategy at present is to form an alliance with Sun Quan, and jointly own the Yangtze River, echoing each other from afar, so that Cao Cao does not dare to act rashly.

Seeing Lu Su coming, Liu Cong was naturally happy. took Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others to meet with Lu Su.

The meeting between the two sides was chosen at the General's Mansion, and Liu Cong first modestly greeted Ma Liang warmly by Sun Quan, and sent Zhou Yu to meet Xia Kou to express his gratitude. Then the two sides got to the point.

Lu Su's ability was brilliant, which attracted Liu Cong's great admiration, but another young student in the Jiangdong mission attracted Liu Cong's attention, he was Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was the same year as Liu Cong and came out three years ago.

Speaking of this Lu Xun, Liu Cong had to sigh that the times create heroes, and Lu Xun's family background is for the Jiangdong family. His grandfather, Lu Xianguan, was the captain of the city gate, and his father, Lu Jun, was the captain of Jiujiang (now Shouchundong, Anhui). Lu Xun lost his father at the age of ten, and followed his grandfather Lujiang to guard Lu Kang and study in his office. Later, due to the discord between Yuan Shu and Lu Kang, Sun Ce was instigated to capture Lujiang, and more than a month later, Lu Kang died of illness.

Before this, Lu Kang had sent Lu Xun and his relatives to Jiangdong. Lu Kangzi Lu Ji is still young, so Lu Xun, who is only twelve years old, takes on the responsibility of supporting the portal.

The young Lu Xun is a gentle scholar. At that time, Lu Ji and his nephew Gu Shao were equally famous for their reading books, followed by Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, and Bu Jing. But history has pushed Lu Xun onto the political stage.

Lu Xun is most famous for plotting Guan Yu to take Jingzhou, and Yiling to break Liu Bei, of course, in Liu Cong's view, it is not so much that Lu Xun is a hero, it is better to say that Guan Yu and Liu Bei are old and mediocre. However, seeing Lu Xun in person when he was young, Liu Cong still wanted to see what potential this future Jiangdong pillar had.
