Chapter Forty-Seven: The Satisfied Cai Mao
Yuan Yun looked at the tragic situation of Pang Tong's brothers and sisters-in-law, but he couldn't bear it anymore, after all, it was Pang Tong's family, and now his brothers were beaten half to death, and several sisters-in-law were cut off their noses on the spot, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see anyone again in the future.
Fortunately, these things are not done by themselves, otherwise Pang Tong will inevitably have a pimple in his heart, now it's okay, everything is Cai Mao's hand, just see his current smug expression, I know that I don't care much about killing a few clan children, now Jingzhou is their Cai family's dominance, and other families have to look at their faces, although the Pang family is also a wealthy family, but in the eyes of Cai Mao, who holds the military power, it is indeed insignificant.
After cleaning up the Pang children who came out to make trouble, Cai Mao returned to the tea pavilion, only to see that he put a few noses on the tea table like this, which suddenly made Yuan Yun lose all his appetite for tea.
"Since Yuan Hou came to Jingzhou, he was a guest in Jingzhou, we were deceived by Yuan Shao, and the lord of the school captain was a little stupid, so he sent troops to attack Xu Du, the school captain was persuaded hard at that time, but the position was too low, and no one was willing to listen to the school captain." After Cai Mao finished speaking, her face was full of regret.
Yuan Yun felt very funny that Cai Mao was starting to call himself 'the captain of this school' now, are these status positions really so important?
But after all, Cai Mao's attitude has changed greatly now, so he can only greet with a smile, so he immediately revealed a bright smile, and then said: "Since Benhou has come with the edict of the imperial court, then it can be revealed, and now Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng is also sick, and the affairs of Jingzhou will begin to depend on Captain Cai, and there will be many places for us to cooperate in the future." ”
Cai Mao nodded, and immediately asked again: "I don't know why the Hanyang Pavilion Marquis is still involved in the Sun family in Yangzhou, can this Yuan Hou have an explanation?" ”
Yuan Yun gently shook the folding fan in his hand, and then said with a sense of matter: "Now that the Sun family is sitting in Yangzhou, Huang Zu of Jiangxia is forced to stand by Sun Ce, and Sun Ce has also made a statement to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can carry out some canonization of his subordinates, and the imperial court naturally needs to be considered." ”
Cai Mao snorted heavily when he heard this, and said: "Sun Ce is just a bandit cub, his father was not our opponent back then, and now he is not our opponent, Jiang Xia's faux pas is just Huang Zu's stupidity, when the matter of Xiangyang is decided, the captain of this school will personally lead the army to crusade, and then he will inevitably take back the land of Yangzhou for the imperial court." ”
Yuan Yun's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "When we were in Xudu, we often talked about Jingzhou and Yangzhou, Cao Sikong praised Cai Xiaowei, and said that you are old, and I intend to give the land of Yangzhou to Cai Xiaowei, if you can really take Yangzhou, it is definitely not a problem for the imperial court to seal a Hanyang Pavilion Marquis, and even if you are allowed to be Yangzhou Mu, after all, Cao Sikong likes to use old people the most." ”
Cai Mao's whole person was stunned in an instant, and asked in disbelief: "Did Cao Sikong really say that?" ”
Yuan Yun pretended to be stunned and said: "Ben Hou is so young, how do you know that Cai Xiaowei and Cao Sikong are old children, if Cao Sikong didn't say this, how would Ben Hou know?" ”
Cai Mao is very happy, his friendship with Cao Cao is almost not clear, now since Yuan Yun can say this friendship, it seems that Cao Cao really said, so far, Cai Mao's whole person is refreshed, now Liu Biao sees that it is not good, as long as Liu Cong is pushed to succeed to the throne, he will expel the Sun family in Yangzhou, and he can also become Yangzhou Mu, which is equivalent to Cai's control of two pieces of land at once, what a great temptation.
Yuan Yun was still casually shaking the folding fan on the side, and his mind was constantly calling up the information of Cao Cao and Cai Mao, and after probably checking it once, he was relieved, and he was not worried about Cai Mao's sincerity today.
"Although Yuan Hou can rest assured, the title of Marquis of Hanyang Pavilion does not need to consider the Sun family, and now the lord of the school is in poor health, which affects the timing of sending troops to Yangzhou, but after a while, everything will be on the right track, and the Sun family, who has just established a foothold, is not to be afraid."
Cai Mao's voice was an octave higher at the moment, and he immediately whispered mysteriously to Yuan Yun about the future movements of Jingzhou: "In fact, the captain of this school yearns for Xu Duke, and he wanted to meet Cao Sikong earlier, if he can become his subordinate, it is really the ambition of this life, and now that the misunderstanding has been solved, the captain of this school must take Cao Sikong as the leader." ”
Yuan Yun was a little stunned when he heard Cai Mao say this, he thought that his temptation was enough, which made Cai Mao change, and he didn't want him to really like Cao Cao, and he was so flattering.
However, according to the original historical records, it is true that after Cai Mao's death of Liu Biao, he and Kuai Yue jointly forced Liu Cong to subdue Cao Cao, and then entered Cao Cao's command, successively served as Zhonglang, Sima, and Changshui Lieutenant, and was knighted as the Marquis of Hanyang Pavilion.
I just advanced these things today, thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel that my cheating ability has risen, and before leaving Luoyang, I asked Cao Ang to get Cai Mao's appointment edict from the imperial court, and now it really plays a big role.
Now Jingzhou is indeed very chaotic, after Liu Biao became seriously ill, all forces began to compete in secret, and the Cai family is naturally the most optimistic at present, and then Liu Bei, who has been hiding in the shadows.
Now in this situation, it is natural that Liu Biao is dead, which is good for everyone's interests, Cai Mao can push the puppet Liu Cong to the throne, and then hold the power himself, it is estimated that this trick is to learn Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so he must hope that Liu Biao will die soon.
As for Liu Bei, he naturally hopes that Liu Biao will die, as long as this Jingzhou Mu has braids, he can let go completely, and then help Liu Qi fight for the inheritance.
Now it seems that the most pitiful person is Liu Biao, no one wants him to live, so it seems that he may really not live long, pitiful.
"Now that our two families have abandoned their previous suspicions, Yuan Hou will live comfortably in Longzhong, and the captain of this school will even send troops to protect him, so don't worry." After Cai Mao finished speaking, he drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, and then arched his hand again, and said, "The captain of this school has a reluctant request, I wonder if Yuan Hou can agree?" ”
Yuan Yun accepted the folding fan with a sigh, and still guessed the approximate in his heart, so he returned the salute and said, "Although Captain Cai said yes, Ben Hou listened to it." ”
Cai Mao said with a smile on his face: "The captain of this school hopes that Jingzhou can reopen exchanges with Luoyang, whether it is business or other exchanges, we can help each other, Yuan Hou said yes or no?" ”
Yuan Yun snorted and said: "This is a good thing, the doors on both sides have been closed like this, and it has indeed caused us all to lose a lot, since Captain Cai said, then after Benhou returns to Luoyang, he will naturally send an envoy to come." ”
After speaking, Yuan Yun smiled secretly in his heart, Liu Biao is not dead yet, Cai Mao has already dared to make decisions without permission, but it is conceivable that he doesn't care about Jingzhou Mu or anything at all, and even the other party is still his brother-in-law.
Cai Maozhi walked away proudly, in addition to getting the canonization of Captain Changshui, he also mixed a set of glazed tea sets from Yuan Yun, before listening to the people of the Pang family, they were already very tempted by this set of glazed tea sets, and they didn't know how to ask Yuan Yun for it, and they didn't want the other party to be so generous, so they sent it out directly.
"Although Yuan Hou is young, he is indeed a bold person, such a valuable thing, when he gave it to the lieutenant of this school, he didn't even blink an eye, I heard that Luoyang is very rich, so it seems that it is true, once we exchange trade in the future, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money." On the way back, Cai Mao began to talk to one of the people next to her.
The man had a mustache on his lips, and although he had a few strands of beard on his chin, there were only a few, and his eyes were like rats, but he looked at them like this, and he looked very shrewd, and this person was Kuai Yue.
After listening to Cai Mao's words, Kuai Yue bowed on horseback and said: "Congratulations to Captain Cai, the purpose of our trip is to coerce Yuan Yun to open up business, I don't want him to not only agree, but also present the edict of appointment to the imperial court, today can be described as an auspicious day for Captain Cai." ”
Cai Mao suddenly laughed, and then gently touched the glass tea set in his arms, and then said: "There is also this set of good glass tea sets, I don't want to just go out and walk around at will, I am really happy to have such a big benefit." ”
After laughing, Cai Mao had been beside hundreds of guards, and said loudly: "When we gather the large army and return to Xiangyang, the brothers will have their own rewards." ”
With Cai Mao's reward, the group began to relax, everyone was happy, there was no danger at all when they came out this time, and even the expected battle did not happen, and now there is a reward, so naturally they need to have a good time.
After Cai Mao left, Yuan Yun unfolded the folding fan again, and now it was Zhuge Liang cooking tea, and Pang Tong was sitting on one side, his eyes were constantly flashing, as if he had been thinking about something.
Zhuge Liang saw Pang Tong's expression in his eyes, but he didn't break it, but after distributing the tea water, he smiled and asked Yuan Yun: "How does the lord know the relationship between Cao Sikong and Cai Mao?" I am afraid that very few people know about this. ”
Yuan Yun guessed that Zhuge Liang would ask such a question, so he informed the prepared answer: "I once heard Cao Ang Shizi mention it, so I wrote it down, and it helped a lot if I didn't want to do it in the future." ”
After speaking, Yuan Yun put away the folding fan again, and then said with interest: "What Ben Hou said to Cai Mao just now, in fact, many of them have not been recognized by the imperial court, such as the edict of the Marquis, which was forged by Ben Hou to the craftsmen of Luoyang, but I didn't expect Cai Mao to really believe it so much, haha." ”
As soon as Yuan Yun finished speaking, not only Pang Tong, but even Zhuge Liang was surprised, he never thought that Yuan Yun was so bold, and the imperial court did not have anything, he dared to fabricate it, such a shameless act, it was really a bit outrageous.
Zhuge Liang quickly became indifferent, he was the one who had the most contact with Yuan Yun, and it was normal to know that the other party did not play cards according to common sense, this was just a small episode.
As for Pang Tong, he couldn't sit still, and immediately asked: "If this is asked by the imperial court, Yuan Hou will have to bear a lot of responsibility." ”
Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, and then replied: "Just go back and make up for it, give Cai Mao a marquis, you can exchange Jingzhou's refuge, no one will refuse this kind of deal, right?" ”
Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "At this point, I, Pang Tong, have completely convinced Yuan Hou, and I really do everything, as long as the goal can be achieved, then even if I make this thing as lowly as a businessman, there is no complaint." ”
After speaking, Pang Tong's face suddenly sank, and then he got up and left the table, and then bowed deeply to Yuan Yun to the end, and said in his mouth: "I, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, hope to worship under Yuan Hou and become a staff member, I don't know if Yuan Hou is willing to accept it?" ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, he immediately looked at Zhuge Liang, and immediately replied heartily: "It is said that you Pang Shiyuan is a phoenix chick, and now Wolong Kong Ming, add you a phoenix chick Pang Tong, Ben Hou This can be regarded as collecting two good cards, naturally a hundred agree." ”
Pang Tong was also full of smiles when he heard this, he was still very self-conscious about his fame and strength.
But just when Pang Tong was complacent, he heard Yuan Yun continue: "Now there is still a lack of a county order in Dongxian County on the outskirts of Luoyang, and it is most suitable for Mr. Shiyuan to go there, and Benhou will arrange it for you." ”
