Chapter 161: Visiting the Cai Family

Liu Biaodao: Yecheng Hou is really an honest gentleman. I don't know what Ye Chenghou wants to help? Jia Xu said: My lord hopes that Ming Gong can send some shipbuilding craftsmen to Yecheng to help build some ships.

Liu Biaodao: What kind of ship is waiting to be built in Yecheng? Is it a warship? Jia Xu said: Don't want a warship.

Jia Xu also knew that Liu Biao was not a fool, and he was also afraid that Zhang Jie would go south. Therefore, although there are not as many rivers in Hebei as in the south, there are also a lot, and there are many rivers in Liaodong in Youzhou, but there is a lack of ships, and the circulation of materials in various places is inconvenient, so I hope that Ming Gong can send a group of experienced shipbuilding craftsmen to Hebei. Of course, the craftsmen's fortunes and so on are all from Jizhou.

Liu Biao thought about it, Zhang Jie sent so many war horses, if he didn't give it at all, he would definitely offend Zhang Jie, but if he gave too much, he was afraid that Zhang Jie would build a naval army to go south.

I thought about it: Now Jingzhou is also building ships, and there are many craftsmen needed, I don't know how many craftsmen are waiting for Yecheng?

Jia Xu thought for a while: I don't know if Ming Gong can support a thousand craftsmen?

Liu Biaodao: There are not so many craftsmen at present! How about finding a way to send 300 craftsmen from all over the country to Hebei?

Zhang Jie and Jia Xu didn't have much hope that Liu Biao would send many craftsmen to Hebei to build ships. Hearing Liu Biao's agreement with three hundred craftsmen, Jia Xu felt that it was not bad. He said: On behalf of my lord, thank you for your love.

Liu Biao said again: As for the alliance between the two parties, I still have to discuss it with everyone, so I won't talk about it today. Come on, please sing and dance.

After a while, a group of courtesans came to the hall and began to sing and dance, drink and have fun. Jia Xu also sighed that Zhang Jie had already canceled these in Hebei. Jingzhou, which is in chaos, is really singing and dancing, and it is peaceful! I just don't know how many days it will be peaceful!

After the meeting, Jia Xu returned to the post house, Zhang Jie smiled and said: It seems that Wenhe is full of food and drink!

Jia Xu said with a smile: The courtesans in Liu Jingsheng's house have good dancing skills, and it's a pity that the lord doesn't go.

Zhang Jiedao: It seems that Wenhe still likes this wine song and dance! It seems that we have to choose some singing and dancing to cheer up when we go back to Yecheng!

Dian Weidao: What is the meaning of these songs and dances? It's not as good-looking as our white-haired girl in Jizhou.

Zhang Jie glanced at him and said: The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she sings the flowers in the backyard across the river. Jia Xu didn't know what it meant, but the merchant girl in front of her didn't know that she hated the country so much that she heard it.

Jia Xu said: Liu Biao promised to send 300 shipbuilders to Hebei. The old man originally proposed that there were 1,000 of them, but Liu Biao seemed to be worried that we would build warships. So only three hundred were given. Zhang Jie said: It's good to have 300, we can send some people to learn from these 300 people, we are currently building a merchant ferry. There is no need for warships for the time being, as long as they can cross the Yellow River in wartime, and it is enough to transport grain and grass materials in peacetime.

What is really needed for a water war is the pacification of Jiangdong. But it's too early to tell.

Wen He will rest first, and accompany me to Cai Mao's mansion later. We're going to meet this Cai Mao.

Zhang Jie took Jia Xu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun to Cai Mao's mansion in a carriage.

Cai's subordinates reported that the envoy from Jizhou asked to see Cai and the old man Cai. Cai Mao and Cai Wei listened to Jia Xu's request to see him, and of course they knew that this was someone sent by Zhang Jie. Immediately order someone to open the middle door. went to the door in person to meet him, and Zhang Jie stood next to Jia Xu in civilian clothes.

Jia Xu said: Meet Mr. Cai. Cai sarcastically said: Mr. Wenhe is the envoy of Jizhou and the military adviser of Hebei, the little old man is ashamed, Mr. please.

After everyone entered the door, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun automatically stood behind Zhang Jie and Jia Xu. These two people look too obvious, at first glance, they are strong people in martial arts, Zhao Yun is better, Dian Wei is too fierce and vicious. Although dressed up a little. But he still couldn't hide that fierce face.

Cai sarcastically said: I don't know who these people are around Mr. Wenhe?

Zhang Jie said: The junior Zhang Shi, a student of Mr. Wenhe, is now added as a henchman of Ye Chenghou, and this time Yecheng Hou sent the junior to cooperate with Mr. Wenhe to envoy Jingzhou.

The younger generation heard that Mr. Cai of Xiangyang was the first wise man in Jingxiang, so he and Mr. Wenhe came to visit. The latter two are the sworn brothers of the younger generation, and they are both guards to protect Mr. Wenhe.

Cai sarcastic father and son, seeing Zhang Jie's lofty spirit, he has the momentum of a superior person. Although it was Zhang Jie's entourage, he always felt that something was wrong.

Cai sarcastically said: It is the luck of the Cai family that Zhang Yuanjun can afford the Cai family. I wonder if the old man can help Zhang Yuanjun with anything?

Zhang Jiedao: Before I came to Xiangyang, my father-in-law said that the Cai family and Mr. Cai Bojiao in Xiangyang are really their own family, so please be sure to come and visit.

Cai sarcastically said: Mr. Bo is okay? Zhang Jiedao: Mr. Bo Jiao is in good health, and now Yecheng manages a college. Just a little busy. But it's also fun.

Cai sarcastically said: I haven't seen Mr. Bo for many years. I hope to have the opportunity to see him again.

If there is a chance, Cai Lao can go to Yecheng at any time.

Afterwards, there was an entourage serving tea. Dian Wei wanted to take a sip first for fear that the tea would be poisonous, Zhang Jie glanced at him, meaning that he thought too much, but Jia Xu took a sip without thinking about it.

Dao: Good tea.

Zhang Jie also took a sip and said: I don't know what Mr. Cai thinks of Jingzhou in the future?

Dian Wei wanted to drink tea to test the poison, but Jia Xu drank it first, and these actions naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Cai's father and son.

Now I heard Zhang Jie ask Jingzhou what he thought of the future, and Cai Wei was a little suspicious that this person was Zhang Jie.

Cai sarcastically said: Jingzhou is rich and far away from the Central Plains, Liu Jingzhou has been in Xiangyang for many years. Now Jingzhou is strong and strong, and the old man is very confident in Jingzhou.

Zhang Jiedao: Liu Jingzhou is old and lacks enterprising spirit. From a certain point of view, Jingzhou will change hands sooner or later, I don't know what Mr. Cai thinks?

Cai Mao was not very happy after hearing this, and said: My Jingzhou has 200,000 armor, and the naval army is invincible in the world, how can Jingzhou change hands?

Zhang Jie said: Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, there is a decisive battle soon, if Cao wins, Yuan Shao will take refuge in Jingzhou. If Yuan Shao wins, Cao Cao will take the mediocrity. Then to figure Jingzhou or Hanzhong. Of course, maybe they'll lose both. Maintain the status quo.

I don't know if Mr. Cai agrees with the views of the younger generation?

Cai sarcastically said: How can you see it, sir?

Zhang Jie said: Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both heroes, but they are not my opponents in Hebei at present. Therefore, they will inevitably fight a decisive battle in the Central Plains, and the winner will integrate their strength and compete with Hebei. However, even if all the forces in the Central Plains are integrated, it is difficult to have a chance of winning in the face of hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in Hebei.

Of course, these two will set their sights on Jing Xiang. Because Jingzhou has a naval army, the northern soldiers are not accustomed to water warfare. And there is a natural risk in the Qinling Mountains in Hanzhong. So these two will fight Jingzhou's idea.

I wonder if Mr. Dejun thinks it's okay to analyze it below?

Cai Mao said: Even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao want to take Jingxiang, it's not that they can take it if they want to!

Zhang Jie said: Of course not, I'm afraid that Liu Zhoumu will take in Yuan Cao and raise tigers! Like Zhang Xiu, Liu Jingzhou originally intended to use him to block Cao Cao, but what was the result? Nanyang was occupied by Cao Cao.

However, in the following opinion, if Liu Jingzhou really goes west one day, I think it is more appropriate for Mr. De Jue to do the history of Jingzhou. Take a look at the latest chapters of "Mr. Storyteller of the Three Kingdoms" and read it for free for the first time.
