Chapter Forty-Nine: The Enraged Cai Yong
Jia Mengguan's victory, in Ye Zhao's expectations, more than 100 flying boats, carrying a thousand canisters of fire and oil, is probably the earliest bomber on the earth, the intelligence of the Jiameng Pass guard Ye Zhao's side to infiltrate Yizhou has already found out the bottom of the matter, Zhang Yi is not an incompetent general, but it is only the kind of decent, it is a little difficult for him to come up with a strategy to break the enemy as soon as he encounters this situation.
Zitong Pass, there is a troublesome army, according to the plan made by Gu Cheng at the beginning, it is not a problem to successfully take Zitong Pass, but now it depends on this Baishui Pass.
Zhao Wei, the general of Baishui Guard, is Liu Yan's old department, and he is the person who followed Liu Yan into Shu together, and his ability is ...... Not small, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there is the geographical advantage of Baishui Pass, in the case of not sending the flying boat, the loss to break through the Baishui Pass is not small, but it is not impossible to break, the flying boat is transferred to the front and back, and it is not difficult to break the Baishui Pass.
However, for Baishui Pass, Ye Zhao didn't want to use this kind of strong attack, because of Zhao Wei's identity, Ye Zhao had the heart to recruit.
In addition to being Liu Yan's old department, Zhao Wei also has another identity, that is, Sergeant Shu.
It stands to reason that Liu Yan is the lord of Shu, Zhao Wei is a sergeant of Shu, and at the same time he is Liu Yan's old department, so he should be loyal to Liu Yan.
The so-called Dongzhou scholars are the scholars who moved into Shu from the land of Sanfu and Nanyang due to the war.
Most of these people were originally local heroes, and their power was also strong, but they avoided disasters in Shuzhong, and most of the original fields, connections, and assets came to naught.
Liu Yan used Dongzhou Shi, although he was forced to do so, but it was precisely because of the Dongzhou Shi that it was natural to let these Dongzhou Shi support him, so that these Dongzhou Shi knew that only by following him could they have a bright future.
Therefore, Liu Yan killed more than a dozen big families in Shuzhong, and Dongzhou Shi also took this opportunity to enter the power layer in Shuzhong, Liu Yan in order to be able to stabilize Bashu, used Dongzhou Shi to suppress the wealthy clan in Shuzhong, so as to form a balance, it is understandable, but Zhao Wei, as a Shu sergeant, for Liu Yan's actions, to say that there is no resistance at all, it is impossible.
Ye Zhao discussed with Xi Zhicai, this Zhao Wei may be the key link for Ye Zhao to gain a foothold in Shuzhong and open the door to Shuzhong, even if there is no flying boat, Ye Zhao's plan is to find a way to recruit Zhao Wei instead of killing him, so as to gain the support of the Shu sergeant clan.
Especially now that Liu Yan's control of Shuzhong is not enough, at this time, the choice of the Shuzhong family plays a vital role, from the original confrontation between Hanzhong and Yizhou forces, to the confrontation between Yizhou, Bashu people and Liu Yan, and Dongzhou scholars.
However, now that Ye Zhao ordered Ding Li to move his army to force Baishui Pass, he had no chance to take care of this matter for the time being, because Nanzheng had a great big man, even Ye Zhao, who was the lord of Hanzhong, had to wait carefully in the face of this big man.
"Ye Xiuming, if you don't make it clear to the old man today, there will be you and me in this hall!" Nan Zheng, above the hall of the General's Mansion, Cai Yong was holding Ye Zhao's Longyuan Sword in his hand, pointing at Ye Zhao across the table, his face was pale, and his originally elegant face was a little hideous.
"Teacher, listen to me!" Ye Zhao looked at Long Yuan in Cai Yong's hand, with his ability, let alone one Cai Yong, ten Cai Yong holding the Long Yuan Sword don't want to hurt him, but this matter is really a bit unreasonable, and ...... Do it with Cai Yong, the disciple and the master, in this era, not to mention outsiders, the subordinates will be ashamed, and they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts, so they can only hide.
"Explain?" Cai Yong pointed his sword at Ye Zhao and shouted: "Do you know that the entire Chang'an City is passing on my Cai Bojiao's daughter to Ye Hou, and the hussar general is a concubine, how can you call the old man this face!?" ”
About a month ago, rumors suddenly spread in Chang'an City, saying that Cai Yan had committed to Ye Zhao and made Ye Zhao a concubine.
Although after these years of self-defense of the family, Cai Yankefu's reputation has been spread by the Wei family, resulting in Cai Yan over 20 years has not been called to the media, the reason is of course not only the Wei family, the Wei family, there is no such courage, in fact, it was just angry at the time, and then there were several times from the Wei family came to apologize, the real reason is that Yuan Shu wanted to marry Cai Yan as a concubine after Wei Zhongdao's death, and Cai Yong carried a stick to drive him out, and the rumor has not dissipated since then.
After that, even if someone came to the door to propose marriage, they still wanted to marry Cai Yan as a concubine, how could his Cai Yong's daughter be a concubine?
It's just that he didn't expect his disciples to do such a thing, when he got the news, Cai Yong blew up on the spot, and he was desperate to go to Hanzhong to ask Ye Zhao for an explanation, Dong Zhuo was not easy to stop in this matter, so he could only send a few guards to let them follow Cai Yong, and return to Chang'an with Cai Yong after finishing his work.
Looking at the Longyuan Sword in Cai Yong's hand, Ye Zhao smiled bitterly: "Teacher, if you have something to say, put down the sword first, don't hurt yourself, my junior sister and I are innocent, and there is no way to be rude!" ”
Fortunately, he had already sent all his subordinates back before, otherwise, there would really be no place for his face.
"Then why is Chang'an City full of rumors?" Cai Yong sneered: "Ye Hou is good at calculating people's hearts, you tell me, even if the old man brings Zhao Ji back to Chang'an at this moment, what face does Yan'er have to meet people?" ”
"Then stay in Hanzhong." Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yongdao.
"I'm afraid this is Ye Hou's true intention, right?" Cai Yong sneered and looked at Ye Zhao.
"Not bad." Ye Zhao nodded and said: "Now Dong Zhuo seems to be powerful, but the sergeant of the court does not want to kill Dong Zhuo for a moment, there is a way that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose, once Dong Zhuo dies, I am worried that someone will be unfavorable to the teacher." ”
"So, you deceived me with the name of Yan'er!?" Cai Yong said angrily when he heard this.
"It's not a secret, the apprentice also has a heart of admiration for his junior sister." Ye Zhao's expression was solemn, and he bowed down and said: "Back then, the apprentice was just a good family, and he knew that he was not worthy of his junior sister, so he buried this thought in his heart, but now he ......."
"Now Ye Hou Fei Huang Tengda, the daughter of Cai Yong, is only worthy of Ye Hou as a concubine?" Cai Yong sneered and looked at Ye Zhao.
"It's not a concubine!" Ye Zhao shook his head: "Zhao has no intention of despising junior sisters. ”
"If it's a wife, what about the princess?" Cai Yong frowned and said, he is a royalist, naturally he doesn't want Liu Wei to be wronged because of his daughter, if he wants to let Ye Zhao be his son-in-law, if there is no identity of a concubine, Cai Yong has no objection, after all, he grew up by himself, his literature and character are first-class, and he can be literate and martial, the only deficiency is his background, but now Ye Zhaogui is a county marquis and a hussar general, this kind of identity is enough to make up for the lack of background, but the problem is that Ye Zhao already has a main room, and the other party is still a princess.
Mo said that Cai Yong would never want to see the princess being snubbed by Ye Zhao because of this, even if she was not a princess, if Ye Zhao divorced his wife because of this, there was a way that the wife of the chaff could not be abandoned, and this character had to be re-evaluated.
"In the past, there was a husband who served the queen and the daughter, and she was not talented in vain, so she was willing to set up a wife, regardless of the size of the wife, and ...... with the main wife."
"Heh, what a big breath, you dare to compare yourself to Emperor Shun!?" Cai Yong sneered.
"Zhaozi doesn't dare to compare with the first saint." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "But there is a precedent for this matter, so it's not impossible." ”
"It seems that Ye Hou has already calculated it clearly, so why bother to ask the old man?" Cai Yong sneered, at this time, after venting before, his anger was a lot calmer, but he was still angry in his heart.
Things have reached such a point, rumors are flying all over the sky, what can he do if he doesn't agree to Ye Zhao? If you want to talk about the conditions, Ye Zhao is now famous all over the world, and his own talent and learning ability are not bad, and being his son-in-law is not an insult to the Cai family, but he agreed, and this mood is not smooth.
"Father~" Cai Yan didn't know when he arrived at the door, and when he saw Cai Yong carrying a sword, he looked at Cai Yong with some surprise.
"Why is Akihime here?" Cai Yong glared at Ye Zhao unhappily and looked at his daughter.
"I heard that my father is coming, so I came to see him." Cai Yan smiled.
"Come with me to the study!" Cai Yong pulled Cai Yan and walked out without looking back, and when he was about to go out, he glared at Ye Zhao and said, "Don't keep up yet!" ”
"Whoa!" Ye Zhao smiled bitterly, it seems that the old man has regarded this place as his home.
The three of them came straight to the study, Ye Zhao was left outside the door by Cai Yong, talking with Cai Yan in the study, Ye Zhao was naturally able to find out the content of the conversation through spiritual imprints, but he didn't do so, and he probably could guess without listening.
"Senior brother, my father called you in." Not long after, Cai Yan opened the door and came out and saluted Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao nodded silently and said, "Senior sister won't go in?" ”
"When the man speaks, Akihime doesn't go." Cai Yan shook his head and said.
"It's fine." Ye Zhao didn't ask any more questions, pushed the door and entered.
saw Cai Yong with his back to the door, looking at the pair of poems in the study, Ye Zhao didn't look back when he came in.
The poems in Ye Zhao's study are written by Ye Zhao himself, taken from a poem by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, Ye Zhao liked it very much, so he wrote it down to make a couplet in the study.
I saw the book: Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles.
"This poem...... What did you write? After a long time, Cai Yong turned his head and looked at Ye Zhao.
"What the essay did made the teacher smile." Ye Zhao nodded, it was indeed written by himself, there was nothing wrong.
"You're so ambitious!" Cai Yong's face was cold, but his expression eased a lot: "If you don't agree to this matter, you can't help the old man, Yan'er also has a little friendship with you, otherwise it is impossible to agree to this matter, but there are a few things that you need to promise the old man." ”
"Teacher, please speak." Ye Zhao arched his hand.
"The marriage must be done in a big way, and the matter of the equal wife must be spread to the world, I don't care how to do it, but the old man's face, you have to give the old man back!"
"Don't worry, teacher!" Ye Zhao smiled: "This matter is not difficult! ”
"Second, the old man only has Yan'er's daughter, and Yan'er's first child after marriage needs to follow the old husband's surname to continue the incense of my Cai family."
After speaking, Cai Yong stared at Ye Zhao tightly, this incense thing, to be honest, is a bit excessive, when he married the Wei family before, Cai Yong didn't mention it, firstly, Wei Zhongdao was weak, and he didn't know if he could have it, secondly, the Wei family was powerful, and he was kind, Cai Yong couldn't open his mouth, but now it is different, Ye Zhao is the first to cut and then the prelude this time.
"Yes!" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Even if the teacher doesn't mention it, Zhao also has this intention, and he can't let the teacher end up from here." ”
Cai Yong didn't expect Ye Zhao to agree so happily, and after looking at Ye Zhao silently for a moment, he sighed and said: "That's it, you have this intention, the old man is already comforting, and the rest is not difficult for you, but there is one more point, the old man knows that you want to destroy Shu, Junlang is a member of the Han family after all, if you have the ability, save his life." ”
"Don't worry, teacher." Ye Zhao nodded when he heard this: "The first emperor and I have the grace of acquaintance, the blood of the Han family, Zhao will not be humiliated." ”
"The old man is sleepy, so Xi Liang will send it, so you will send it away." Cai Yong waved at Ye Zhao a little tiredly.
"Don't worry, Zhaozi can cook!"
