Wei Yan suddenly became dissatisfied, Cai Mao, you are enough, Lao Tzu saved your niece, and gave five boxes of gold and silver treasures, kindness and money are there, just a broken county order you are still making a statement, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu won't do it!

At this moment, Wei Yan's empty voice sounded in his mind: "Lord, issue a task, take up the post of Yiyang County Commander, if you succeed, you can get points equivalent to the population of Yiyang County, and if you fail, the same points will be deducted!" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly communicated with Kongkong: "Kongkong, I don't understand what Cai Mao's guy wants now, how can I get this Yiyang County Order?" ”

Kongkong prompted: "Lord, Cai Mao is asking for loyalty from you, he doesn't want to support you in vain!" ”

Wei Yan suddenly realized, got up and arched his hand and said: "I heard that Liu Pi and Gong Du had robbed the Cai family's caravan, and the general hated the two thieves to the core, and he was willing to dedicate the heads of these two thieves to the general!" ”

Cai Mao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, my Cai family owes you a favor again!" However, the position of the Yiyang County Decree is extraordinary, and it cannot be lightly ......"

Wei Yan stepped forward and bowed, with a sincere expression: "If General Cai can help him get the position of Yiyang County Commander in Xia, he will be grateful to Dade in Xia, and from now on, only the general's order will be obeyed!" ”

In this way, for the current Wei Yan, there is no binding force at all!

He just wants to take advantage of such an opportunity to get the position of Yiyang County Commander, and then get Liu Biao's assistance, and then build Yiyang County into an iron bucket.

How did Cai Mao know that this red-faced boy was a loyal but treacherous guy, so he laughed loudly at that time: "With the words of the chief of the text, this general will definitely fight for the chief of the text in front of the lord!" ”

After Wei Yan knew Cai Mao's bottom line, he simply let go, and said: "General, with the strength of Yiyang County, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, and the last general will ask the general to transfer some men and horses to guard the town!" ”

Cai Mao shook his head: "Wen Chang, since you have become your own person now, I won't hide it from you, now forty percent of Jingzhou's troops are stationed in Jiangxia to resist Sun Ce, and two percent of the troops are stationed in Jingnan to resist Jiaozhou Mu Zhang Jin, and two percent of the troops are stationed in various passes, and the rest have to defend the front line of Xiangfan and guard against Zhang Xiu, I really can't draw extra troops, what about you, don't you have 20,000 horses?" ”

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "The general doesn't know, the last general falsely claims to be 20,000 to the outside world, but in fact, there are only more than 10,000 people, and most of them are new soldiers, if either Cao Cao or Yuan Shu comes to the nest, the last general will not be able to resist."

Wei Yan knows very well that now in Cai Mao's heart, I am afraid that he has already regarded him as his own, so he doesn't have to worry about being calculated by Cai Mao anymore when he confesses to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao looked at Wei Yan with a smile: "What Guan Wenchang has done, he is brave and strategic, and he must have a plan to fight against Cao Cao and Yuan Shu!" ”

He made up his mind that he would never send troops to Wei Yan, and he could agree to the rest.

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "For today's plan, we can only recruit some people from the nearby counties......

Cai Mao nodded: "This is very good, then I will ask the lord to appoint you as the commander of Yiyang County, and at the same time take charge of the military of Yiyang, Pingchun, and Fuyang counties, you can recruit troops on the spot, refine the soldiers, and resist the two thieves of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, don't let these two thieves invade the hinterland of Jingzhou from the three counties of Yiyang!" ”

Wei Yan thanked him: "Thank you General for cultivating!" However, the last general will lack food, grass, and weapons......"

Cai Mao discussed with Zhang Yun and the others for a while, and then said: "I will temporarily allocate 50,000 stone grain and 5,000 sets of weapons and armor to you, and you will have to prepare the rest by yourself!"

By the way, tomorrow you will come with me to meet the lord, if the lord agrees, the official appointment, grain and grass, weapons and armor can be effective, if the lord does not allow it, you and I can only think in the long run!

It's getting late, so I'll order someone to take you to rest, and I'll see the lord early tomorrow morning!" ”

50,000 stone of grain, about 3 million catties of grain, save to eat, enough for 10,000 people to eat for several months, this Jingzhou is really rich, not the poor place in Runan that was cleaned by the scourge of the yellow turban, even 2,000 stone grain has to be celebrated with a banquet.

Moreover, after Wei Yan established such an alliance with the Cai family, he could continue to buy grain from Jingzhou. In recent years, other states and counties have been plagued by famines, and there is often no harvest, but Jingzhou is the land of fish and rice, with a developed water system, bumper harvests year after year, and abundant grain and grass.

Wei Yan and the others, under the guidance of the servants, stayed in the guest room of the Cai Mansion.

After Wei Yan left, Cai Mao asked Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, and Cai He: "What do you think of Wei Yan?" ”

Cai Zhong said: "This son has a ruddy face, and at first glance he is a brave and loyal person......

Cai He also said: "Just now he is very respectful, it can be seen that he is quite in awe of his brother!" ”

Zhang Yun shook his head: "How benevolent and moral was Wang Mang back then, what was the result?" Therefore, Wei Yan is available, but he must be guarded against! ”

Cai Mao nodded: "Xu Zhi's words are reasonable, I see Wei Yan's style of acting, quite resourceful, and make good use of strange soldiers, especially when sweeping away the three forces of Langling and Li Tong, he seems to be extremely cunning and wise, such a person, I'm afraid he won't be so desperate for us, I must send someone to supervise him, second brother, third brother, who of you is willing to go?" ”

Cai He and Cai Zhong looked at each other, unwilling to leave the bustling Xiangyang City to go to the corner of Yiyang.

Cai Zhong hurriedly said: "Brother, if I go with either of my second brother, it will cause Wei Yan to be vigilant, thinking that we don't trust him." I saw today that Han Huan's subordinate Qu Jun Hou Wenpin had ordered someone to shoot and wound Wei Yan's corporal, and the two of them already had a mustard, so it was better to send Wen Pin to be the county lieutenant of Yiyang County and monitor Wei Yan! ”

Cai Mao nodded: "That's very good!" He sent Wen Ping to monitor Wei Yan! ”

Cai Mao never dreamed that sending Wen Ping to spy on Wei Yan was equivalent to beating a dog with meat buns, and there was no return.

Wei Yan had a very good life in the future, eating Jingzhou's grain, digging Jingzhou's corners, and soaking in Jingzhou's girls......

When they arrived at the guest room, Wei Yan, Li Yan, and Deng Zhi gathered together to discuss.

Wei Yanxian apologized to Li Yan and said: "Zhengfang, I should have inherited your position as the commander of Yiyang County before, and Cai Mao belonged to me, but we started from Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu, and we can seek the position of Pingchun County Commander for you......"

Li Yan shook his head: "Lord, this is not appropriate, if the last general gets the post of Pingchun County Commander, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Cai Mao and others, it is better to be like this, the last will be the Pingchun County Lieutenant, and Bo Miao will be the Fuyang County Lieutenant, as long as we master the soldiers and horses of the three counties, no matter who Jingzhou sends to be the county commander, we will also be hollowed out and do nothing!" ”

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "Lord, what Zhengfang said is very true." We have now obtained the military power of Yiyang County and Pingchun and Fuyang counties, and we must not plot too much at this stage, otherwise Liu Biao will be suspicious of his character. Speaking of that Liu Biao, this person is a scholar and a military general, if the lord does not show his elegance, it may be difficult to get his favor, our plan is very easy to be blocked, but how can it be a good ......"

Just when the three of them didn't know how to win Liu Biao's approval, there was a soft knock on the door.

Deng Zhi stepped forward to open it and found Huang Yueying standing outside the door, so he gave Li Yan a look and said to Wei Yan: "The last general and the right side will retire!" ”
