Chapter 284: Xiangyang Cai's Clan
"He Xianyuan participated in the battle against Dong Zhuo in the Tiger Prison Pass, and if he wants to finish this battle, it will take three years and five years, to say the least. With three years and five years, Liu Jingsheng is enough to build a powerful army in the five counties of Jingnan to compete with it with the assistance of my Cai clan! Cai Mao said energetically.
Cai Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough! These are all the ideas that Liu Jingsheng and you depicted, right? ”
"What's wrong with that?" Cai Mao was puzzled.
"Of course not! Because He Xian has arrived in Xiangyang! Cai Yuan said, handing over a roll of bamboo slips to the two, "The shopkeeper of the Huang family in Yicheng came to report that he had found traces of Yueying's little lady in Yicheng. At first, the shopkeeper thought that Yueying might have fallen into the hands of thieves, so he investigated. It was later determined that Yueying was intimate with the young man at the head, and it was definitely not forced. And the guards who accompanied him were all highly skilled in martial arts, and they called the young man the lord! ”
"What?!" Cai Mao and Cai Yu were taken aback. Cai Mao took the bamboo slip, read it at a glance, and then handed it to Cai Yu and asked, "The people from Nanyang Business actually went to visit Xiangfu?" That is, the young man ......"
"It should be General Wei He Xian, there is no doubt!" Cai Yuan said firmly.
Cai Mao and Cai Yu looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Tiger Prison Pass is thousands of miles away from here, and everyone in the world knows that General Wei He Xian led his troops to fight Dong Zhuo in Tiger Prison Pass, why did he suddenly appear in Xiangyang? If this news is true, a fool can also realize that what He Xian is trying to do is very big!
Cai Yuan sighed and continued: "Liu Jingsheng's Han clan relatives are originally your second sister's good match. Helplessly, the He clan of Nanyang is now developing rapidly, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and fierce generals are like clouds. He Xian's sudden appearance in Xiangyang is enough to show his determination to take Jingzhou! If the Nanyang army suddenly withdraws from the Tiger Prison Pass and goes south to Xiangyang, can De Jue have the confidence to help Liu Jingsheng defend Nanjun? ”
Cai Mao's face changed greatly when she heard this. If he is given three or five years to gather the strength of the five counties in Jingnan, Cai Mao may dare to fight with the Nanyang army. If he is given another hundred dares now, he will not dare to say that he can resist the Nanyang army entering Xiangyang. The generals of the Cai family no longer have a problem dealing with ordinary thieves, and it is a fool's dream to charge into battle to resist the soldiers of a hundred battles.
Cai Mao was silent for a few seconds, and asked about the Huang family's situation: "Is the Huang family's Dunrentang sure that he wants to play for the He family?" ”
"You also know that your brother-in-law loves Yueying's girl the most. And Yueying is like a ghost, and she is extremely infatuated with Nanyang's slaughtering family. Not only Dunrentang, but also your brother-in-law, Jiangxia Honzong is also inclined to serve the He family. Cai Yuan explained.
Cai Mao said dejectedly: "In this way, Liu Jingsheng has almost no hope of becoming the master of Jingzhou!" But my second sister and I have already verbally promised Liu Jingsheng's matchmaker that we will give a dowry in the near future, how can this be good? ”
Cai Yuan said: "Without him! Only drag also! ”
"Drag?"
After He Xian persuaded Xiang, he would inevitably come to Xiangyang. Since He Xian wants to get the effectiveness of my Cai family, then Liu Jingsheng's problem will naturally be handed over to him He Xian to deal with! ”
Cai Yuan's words made Cai Maomao pause. Cai Mao immediately adopted Cai Yuan's opinion, called her illness to the outside world, and did not see any guests. Even the formal letter of appointment sent by Liu Jingsheng was politely rejected by the housekeeper on the grounds that the master could not be a director.
In Xiangyang City, Liu Biao sat on the top and listened to the bad news one after another. The envoy sent to Jiangxia to lobby Huang Zu returned empty-handed, but Huang Zu did not express his position and watched from the wall for the time being. Cen Hui and Chen Xiang, who were sent to Yicheng to lobby Xiang Lang, returned in embarrassment, and also brought extremely unfavorable news: General Wei He Xian had infiltrated Xiangyang!
Liu Biao had previously vowed to guarantee that the Nanyang army would be dragged by the Xiliang army in the Tiger Prison Pass for at least a few years, and at that time, the Jingnan counties could form an alliance to jointly resist the enemy. He Xian's appearance directly shattered Liu Biao's "alliance theory". The first consideration of these families is how to avoid risks and how to be willing to walk with Liu Biao. Even Cai, who had already decided to marry him, was dragged due to illness, clearly wanting to cheat. The envoys sent to Zhonglu to lobby Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers have not yet returned, but Liu Biao has been able to predict the outcome.
Liu Biao did not expect that the development of Nanyang County would be so rapid, nor did he expect He Xian's performance in the Tiger Prison Pass to be so dazzling. On the one hand, the family in Jingzhou is envious of Nanyang's development model, and on the other hand, they are also deeply jealous of the strength of Nanyang's soldiers. Although He is the son of a Tu family, he is a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou. Geographically, this is the scope of the township party. Although Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, he is a native of Yanzhou. It is really not a simple thing to make an effective choice in front of a lowly but powerful fellow and a noble, but empty-handed outsider.
Liu Biao has now regretted that he should not have chosen the quagmire of Jingzhou. Maybe Yangzhou is a better choice, although Yangzhou is not as prosperous as Jingzhou, but there is no tiger of the He family entrenched here. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the princes to attack Dong and make a time difference. I didn't expect He Xian to stare at Jingzhou so closely, and he didn't give Liu Biao room to change at all. made Liu Biao unable to advance or retreat, and hesitated.
Liu Biao hesitated, and He Xianke came to Xiangyang from Yicheng.
According to the visit plan formulated by Xu Shu, He Xian first went to the Huang Mansion, that is, Huang Yueying's home. The future father-in-law Huang Yancheng is a bookworm, good at reading, and loves to read. I don't like people very much, if it weren't for Huang Yueying's return, Huang Yancheng wouldn't have bothered to take care of He Xian. However, a few ancient books sent by He Xian won Huang Yancheng's favor, and after chatting a few words, Huang Yancheng couldn't wait to go back to the study to study the ancient books.
Huang Yueying gave He Xian an apologetic look, and He Xian smiled slightly, indicating that it was okay. I remember when I met Huang Yancheng ten years ago, I was just ignored, and I only had articles in my eyes. For this treatment, He Xian is used to it, and he doesn't care about it.
Huang Yueying has an older brother above and a younger brother below, both of whom are half-siblings. The younger brother Huang Jie, who is seven years old, is now Huang Yueying's eldest mother Cai Yuan. The big and small affairs of the Huang family in Xiangyang are also taken care of by Huang Yancheng's wife, Cai Yuan. Because Huang Yueying and He Xian's in-law relationship is here, Cai Yuan firmly supports He Xian. The better He Xian's development, the future of her son Huang Jie, will be limitless.
Cai Yuan placed He Xian and his entourage in the Huangfu Courtyard, and all the items were prepared according to the treatment of his uncle. Although Cai Yuan did not talk to He Xian about Cai's effectiveness, she expressed her support with practical actions.
After dinner, Cai Yuan ordered someone to invite He Xian and Xu Shu to go to the side hall for tea. I thought it was the invitation of the Huang clan, so I pushed the door into the hall, but I didn't see Huang Yancheng or Huang Yueying, but I saw that in addition to Cai Yuan, there was another man and a woman, and their appearance and figure were eight points similar to Cai Yuan.
