Chapter 376: Huang Chengyan's Thoughts
When Huang Chengyan got the news, he spent a lot of effort thinking about which big clan in Jingzhou did it, but he didn't guess it, but he locked the target on the Kuai family.
In fact, there is a reason for Huang Chengyan's speculation, because the Cai family and the Huang family have always advanced and retreated together, except for the split of the Huang family not long ago, the Huang Zu family officially separated from the Huang family and became another family.
Cao Ju's envoy came to the door, or Cai Mao personally led the door, with Huang Chengyan's cleverness, how could he not guess Cao Ju's intentions, and Cai Mao was already determined to surrender to Cao Ju.
With a long sigh, Huang Chengyan stabilized his mind and immediately rushed to the door in person and welcomed He Hao and Cai Mao in.
In Jingzhou, the Cai family's power is greater than that of the Huang family, and the two families have such an in-law relationship, coupled with the split of the Huang family, leaving Huang Chengyan with no second way except to advance and retreat with Cai Mao.
Welcoming He Hao into the mansion, Huang Chengyan took advantage of He Hao's absence and glared at Cai Mao fiercely.
Of course, Cai Mao understood, grinned, and said in a low voice: "Eldest brother-in-law, the younger brother can lead the eldest brother-in-law to an endless halo road, with the talent of the eldest brother-in-law, in the name of the general's love for talent, how can the day when the eldest brother-in-law soar far away?" ”
Jingzhou, there are indeed a lot of talents, like Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, Sima Wei and others, all of whom are full of economy and talent, let me ask, if you work hard to learn so talented, you are willing to decline, just teaching and educating people?
Of course not, how can there be ten years of bitter literati, as well as martial artists who smell the rooster and dance, and those who are unwilling to pay homage to the prime minister, all of them are willing, looking at the history of China for 5,000 years, it is difficult to find the second one.
However, there are indeed many talented people who are reluctant to go out, because they think that this person is not the master of the Ming Dynasty and is not worthy of defection and loyalty, just like Cheng Yu, Yuan Shao once invited him, but he agreed, and later, when Cao Cao invited him, his strength was much worse than Yuan Shao, but Cheng Yu agreed without hesitation.
Liu Biao is the person who Huang Chengyan and others believe is not the master of the Ming, and because the three of them are deeply rooted in Jingzhou, it is impossible for them to abandon their family because of their future and go to the people who think of the master, so they can only stay in Jingzhou, pass the time by teaching and educating people, and pin their ambitions on their disciples.
Because they were dragged down by the family, they deliberately avoided this part when choosing disciples, except for Pang Tong is Pang Degong's nephew, like Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan and others, all of them are from poor families, although Zhuge Liang is a scholar, but he fled from the north to this point, and Zhuge Liang and his younger brother live in Jingzhou, so these people can have no scruples and go to whoever they want.
Zhuge Liang was in Liu Biao's territory, not loyal to Liu Biao, but loyal to Liu Bei, who took refuge, in fact, Liu Biao was very angry. However, firstly, his relationship with Liu Bei is that of brothers, secondly, he has to show generosity, and more importantly, Zhuge Liang has nothing to worry about, the only one is his father-in-law, the Huang family.
But at that time, Liu Biao was faced with Cao Cao in the north going south at any time, and he didn't dare to attack the Huang family, otherwise, if the Huang family came to a joint venture, his Jingzhou would really have to be handed over to Cao ****.
When they arrived in the living room, the guests and hosts sat down, and the servants served tea, Huang Chengyan immediately withdrew all the subordinates, and there were only the three of them left in the living room.
At this time, Cai Mao was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "Eldest brother-in-law, the little brother will stop talking about it, the eldest brother-in-law must already know the reason for today's matter, and ask the eldest brother-in-law to decide." ”
Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly in his heart, and thought to himself, he has made a decision, you have brought people to my house, what else can I do.
Although there is such a reason, Huang Chengyan understands better in his heart that Cao Ju is a master, and he is by no means comparable to Liu Biao.
After thinking about it quickly, Huang Chengyan clenched his fists and said deliberately: "Mr. He, right now, the general is riding south, and the soldiers are pointing to Yizhou, and the world is shaking." Once Yizhou is pacified, the general's troops will inevitably be Jingzhou, therefore, my lord is now thinking about his brother's resistance to Cao, and Mr. came to Jingzhou in this matter, are you not afraid of losing your life? ”
"Hahahaha......" He Hao heard this, and laughed, "Mr. is wrong, Mr. Jiuwen is the head of the three scholars in Jingzhou, but he doesn't want to see such a superficial knowledge." Since he dared to come to Jingzhou, he naturally abandoned his life, but the general's soldiers pointed out that they were all calm, and Jingzhou could not escape. ”
"Hey, hey." He Hao's face suddenly changed slightly, and he laughed coldly, "Jingzhou is calm, it's just a matter of time or time, when the time comes, let me ask sir, how can my lord not avenge Hao?" ”
Powerful, both soft and hard, this He Hao really deserves to be one of the only four strategists under the command of General Cao Ju.
The four major strategists under Han Yu are Yan Zhong, He Hao, Xi Zhong and Jia Xu, and there is also a Li Ru, because they can't be put on the surface for the time being, they can only hide their identities.
Seeing this, Cai Mao immediately came out to play a round and said: "Brother-in-law, what Mr. He said is very true, now the general has occupied the land of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, with millions of troops, and Yizhou is just around the corner. Once the general occupies the granary of Yizhou, and my Jingzhou loses the Yangtze River, how can I resist the majesty of the general's soldiers? ”
Huang Chengyan actually admired Cao Ju for a long time and had the heart to defect, but he was a little angry that Cai Mao was alone in such a big matter, and he didn't discuss it with him, so he said angrily: "Two Liu Kang Cao, one has the Yangtze River natural danger, and the other has Shu Road is difficult to climb, how can Cao Ju succeed?" ”
Cai Mao knew that Huang Chengyan was angry with him, so he said with a smile: "The eldest brother-in-law, the Yizhou envoy group, has been killed, and the Erliu Alliance is absolutely impossible. ”
"The general's ambition is in the world, everyone knows it, and the current strategy of the general is to first set the northwest, then the southwest, and then occupy the south of the Yangtze River, encircle the Kwantung princes in half, and gradually encroach on them. Therefore, at this time, defecting to the general can not only have the feeling of sending charcoal in the snow, but also have the place to use the hero's force, which is really the time has come. ”
Sure enough, the Yizhou envoy group was indeed done by Cai Mao, although Huang Chengyan had already guessed it, and when he heard him say it in person at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, Jingzhou Mu has come to visit." ”
