"Oh." Cai Mao agreed sullenly, this time, as usual, Cai Mao felt that her sister was really unfathomable, one would be willing, one would be forced, and she would be handy, and she would count everyone.

But in the end, it was the Cai family who gave up the land, which made Cai Mao very unhappy.

Cai Shi frowned lightly and thought for a while, and muttered: "Those clans are all wall-riding factions who are greedy for life and afraid of death, in addition to explaining to them that Liu Zhang's hatefulness and arousing their hatred and suspicion, the most important thing is to let them know the strength in our hands.

Chen Sheng's troops, Zhang Yun's army, Huang Zu's Jiangxia army, and the Jiangdong army that continued to advance westward are all our reliance, and you can exaggerate to them and make them feel that we have at least a ninety percent chance of winning against Liu Zhang. ”

"How many percent is that?" Cai Mao asked.

"Three points for man, seven points for destiny."

Cai Mao looked at Cai Shi in a daze, Cai Shi waved his hand, Cai Mao turned around and left in confusion, Cai Shi stopped again: "And you, don't run to me casually in the future, don't talk so loudly, the Yizhou butcher is not comparable to the sick man on the bed, remember one thing, no matter what happens, our Cai family can't come out." ”

"Yes." Cai Mao bowed and turned to leave.

"Ugh." Cai sighed faintly at the bronze mirror, for so many years, he has been staying in this attic, rarely going out and walking, except for eating and sleeping, almost dressing up in the mirror, but his face is getting old, only the bronze mirror is still the original appearance.

Cai took the bronze mirror off the wooden frame, and when he was dressed up, he could at least smile at Liu Biao, so that he could speak more effectively in his ear, but now, Liu Biao is going to die, who will he dress up to?

Cai Shi raised the bronze mirror, looked out the window, hesitated for a long time, then shrank back, opened the black wood cabinet, and threw the bronze mirror in, leaving an empty dresser.

………… Zhang Ren came to report that after some twists and turns, the Sichuan army invited the Cai family to confront him on the spot, and the Cai family finally agreed to give up the land.

Liu Zhang frowned, as Cai thought, this move did not arouse Liu Zhang's suspicion, and he did not see Cai's plot from this matter, but Liu Zhang was more convinced that Cai's prestige in the Cai family was extremely high.

And as long as you know this, and you also know that people like Cai's will definitely not be able to take advantage of themselves easily.

"Strengthen the control of the army and implement the decrees in a step-by-step manner." Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ren and Li Yan that he wanted to see how these Xiangyang clans were going to make trouble, and it was best not to provoke themselves.

………… The sun is shining, on the banks of the Qingshui River, in a river valley.

The valley is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, one side faces the water, and a boat in the valley is parked in the middle of the dark river, dozens of people gather together, one by one with a solemn expression, only a middle-aged man in his forties is cooking tea at the bow of the boat, and an ugly woman sits lazily on the barrage and looks at the scenery of the valley.

In the cabin, a young man said indignantly: "Look, what did Liu Zhang do when he came to Jingzhou? Jingnan, Jiangling, Xiangjiang, you don't see how many refugees there are, it's just perverse, such a tyrant, how can you enter Jingzhou. ”

Everyone listened quietly, frowning, the young man's name was Cai Yu, he was a handsome member of the Cai family, and he was ordered by Cai Mao to gather representatives of other clans.

Cai Yu saw that his words did not impress these clans, the blood of Jiangzhou Hanzhong was floating in front of him, and now Liu Zhang's entry into Xiangyang was a foregone conclusion, how could these people dare to easily oppose Liu Zhang, if they didn't do it, they would be the end of raiding their families and exterminating the clan.

"Our Cai family is unlucky, and has become the first target of the Yizhou butcher, Liu Zhang's dog thief actually forced our Cai family to give up half of the land, otherwise we will kill Jingsheng Gong and forcibly occupy Mrs. Cai, so despicable, how can I be worthy of being the lord of Jingzhou.

And today is my Cai family, tomorrow it may be one of you, when Liu Zhang takes your wife and children, and asks you to hold the land, what can you do? I tell you, none of you can be left alone.

Looking at what Liu Zhang did and did, it was all serious, rigid and self-serving, according to his own wishful thinking, using a butcher's knife to achieve his goal, we people are just fish and meat on the board in Liu Zhang's butcher's heart.

Four imperial examinations, Fan Lixiang such a woman, can be Changsha Taishou, but also govern Guiyang Lingling, the power is monstrous, this is simply a big joke in the world, 'women, subdued by others,' from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of women can be officials.

Yang Zishang is a carpenter, for more than 30 years, he is an old man by the Xiangjiang River, but if you look at Yang Zishang's expression when he looks at us now, his nose will be tilted to his eyes, and in the long run, won't we have to nod to those untouchables? Even if you can endure it, will the virtuous people in your people be able to endure it? Will your children and grandchildren be able to endure it?

The land order is even more of a joke, the land is mine, how can I sell it, what does it matter to him Liu Zhang? Wanton intervention, anger and resentment, your ancestors have been expanding their ancestral property for generations, can it be that you can only keep it in your generation? Or even going backwards? Why the light lintel? How can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors? ”

Cai Xuan said angrily, and the other clans' children also showed dissatisfaction on their faces, and a young man said angrily to Cai Yun: "What can be done about this?" Who is responsible for the current situation? Your Cai family holds the military power of Xiangyang, but you sit back and watch Xu Shu fall, and open the city to surrender to the enemy, if it weren't for your Cai family, where would we have fallen to this step today.

Your Cai family was forced to give up the land, it was your own fault, and now you want to drag us into the water, everyone knows that Liu Zhang kills people without blinking, and we would rather just pass it like this. ”

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a middle-aged man immediately shouted: "Ma Jiachang'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" On weekdays, the mouth is open, and at this time, the Sichuan army under Liu Zhang's command is brave and good at fighting, and our Jingzhou army has been defeated one after another under the command of Xu Shu, and the elite has been lost, so how can General Cai Mao resist? Now saying these cool words, can you lead troops to resist the Sichuan army? Then when the Cai family asked for everyone's opinions, why didn't you stand up at that time? ”

The young man twisted his neck and stopped talking, and Cai Yu bowed to the middle-aged man, "Thank you Uncle Kuai for your understanding, the loss of Xiangyang, although we have asked everyone's opinions before surrendering to Liu Zhang's butcher, but our Cai family must be responsible."

Cai Yu is here, I don't beg for forgiveness, I just hope that everyone can help, we surrender Liu Zhang, not to be loyal to Liu Zhang, but to prepare for the recapture of Xiangyang, as Uncle Kuai said, if we fought hard at that time, at most we ended up in ancient Xiangyang, only when the Sichuan army entered the city, Liu Zhang relaxed his vigilance, we have a chance.

As for the specific plan, in order to be cautious, we need everyone to sincerely decide to oppose Liu, so we dare to reveal it, but I, Cai Xu, can pat my chest and assure you that this plan will be at least ninety percent successful, and the remaining one percent will be the death of Xiangyang. ”

The children of all the families talked about it.

Cai Yu looked at everyone, took out a silk pen and inkstone from the corner of the cabin, and said loudly: "Then let's make a statement now." If you are willing to join, sign your name on it. ”

Cai Yu handed the silk silk to everyone, looked at the silk one by one, and didn't dare to take the pen, anti-Liu Zhang, the people in Jiangzhou have tried, the people in Hanzhong have tried, and Liu Zhang is still alive and well, where did the people who used to oppose him go?

Cai Yu handed it over, but no one dared to sign, the silk silk turned to the ugly girl, Cai Yu smiled and said: "Miss Yueying, I don't know the girl's name in ten miles and eight towns, what do you mean?" ”

Huang Yueying was dressed in a light shirt, her figure was vivid, and her yellow hair and bark-like face made people retreat, Cai Yu had a friendly smile on her face, and she couldn't help but stretch her arms to the longest length from Huang Yueying.

The light shirt flew in the wind, and Huang Yueying's eyes moved from the scenery outside the boat to Cai Yun: "Don't worry about me, I'm here for a blind date, and other things have nothing to do with me...... Hey. ”

Huang Yueying looked at Cai Yu and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Cai Gongzi is really handsome, I don't know if he has ever been married, if you are willing to meet my father with me, how about I sign this silk?" It doesn't matter how many you sign, hee-hee. ”

Huang Yueying's face was full of smiles, if it was an ordinary girl, it would be a smile blooming, for Huang Yueying, it was a laugh opening a nest of pitcher plants.

Cai Yu shuddered all over his body, and hurriedly transferred the silk silk to the children of other clans.

Huang Yueying smiled, jumped off the barricade, and walked to the person at the bow of the boat who was cooking tea, "Brother Cui, I'm so interested." ”

The name of the person who cooks tea is Cui Jun, the word Zhouping, a native of Boling, and the second son of Cui Lie, the captain of the Han Dynasty. He successively served as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang and the Taishou of Xihe, and also participated in the Dong Zhuo Expedition.

After his father Cui Lie was taken into custody and killed by Dong Zhuo, Cui Zhouping traveled to the land of Jingxiang and became friends with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, and it can be said that he is the oldest among the young celebrities in Jingxiang.

And the parallel affairs of Cuizhou have always been unconventional, to be precise, not secular.

In the Han Dynasty, the first of virtue, the first to promote filial piety, and Cui Zhouping is a big unfilial person, his father Cui Lie bought an official, Cui Zhouping scolded his father for having a copper smell, Cui Lie was angry but wanted to beat Cui Zhouping, Cui Zhouping fled, and later ignored his father as an official in the court, led troops to oppose Dong, which directly led to the killing of his father Cui Lie.

Because of this relationship, although Cui Zhouping is a nobleman with a strong and red roots, he is not treated well by the children of the family, and when he travels to Xiangyang, only Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu can see his talent, and he is friendly with him, and he has few friends.

But Cui Zhouping doesn't care about these, he still goes his own way, and now he is cooking tea at the bow of the boat alone, and no one cares, Cui Zhouping is happy and quiet.

"The girl's interest is not bad, she is willing to come out to accompany Cui Jun." Cui Zhouping opened the lid of the teapot, and the steaming came out, Cui Zhouping took a look, and the tea was not completely boiled, so he covered it again.

"Brother Cui is a hero in the world, Yueying looks weird, and she is already excited to talk to Brother Cui."

"When the world's heroes?" Cui Zhouping smiled lonely: "What a hero, my heart has already died." "When the anti-Dong failed, Cui Zhouping was already disheartened, the princes of the Eighteenth Road, when they were anti-Dong, they were scattered, and after the anti-Dong, they attacked and killed each other, and the whole world was just a battle for hegemony among the princes.

There was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, Cui Zhouping no longer wanted to get involved in the world, he just wanted to face Jiang Lang like this and cook tea for a lifetime.

The tea was finally boiled, Cui Zhouping served two cups, one cup was served to Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying took a sip, and said to Cui Zhouping: "Brother Cui, you were Kong Ming's Xilang at the beginning, and there were some things that were inconvenient to say, but Yueying didn't dare to disobey her father's order, so she still had to say it." ”

The girl said bluntly. Cui Zhouping drank the tea ceremony.

"Would Brother Cui be Yueying's husband?" Huang Yueying stared at Cui Zhouping and asked solemnly.

Cui Zhou's face was as usual, and he asked quietly, "Is the girl willing?" ”

"I was born with this strange appearance, Brother Cui is a hero among people, even if he is free from the world in the future, he is also a hermit, Yueying can marry Brother Cui, it is a blessing from eight lifetimes."

"Hahahaha." Cui Zhouping suddenly laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the valley, attracting the attention of the children of the family in the cabin, and they looked at the two of them with disdain, one was unfilial and the other was ugly, chatting happily.

Cui Zhouping finished laughing, looked at the churning river at the mouth of the valley and said: "Girl, don't make fun of Cui Jun, I look up and down, look left and right, the meaning expressed in the girl's eyes has never put me, a half-old man over forty years old, in my eyes, the girl Lan Xinhui is good, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who are worthy of it, even if it is Kong Ming, the girl seems to be just reluctantly yielding."

Although Cui Jun is not a great observer, he has also experienced some ups and downs, even if the girl deliberately hides it, she can't hide the arrogance in her bones. If Cui Jun marries a girl, it will be a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, and the girl will not have to play tricks with Cui Jun. ”

"But isn't marrying a woman a good look? What is the use of orchid cridewood? ”

Cui Zhouping drank tea with a faint smile on his face, and after a while, asked in a deep voice: "Girl, Cui Jun has always wanted to ask you a word, Kong Ming left Longzhong, do you still have concerns about him?" ”

Huang Yueying was silent for a while, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, her throat was hot, and she raised the cup in front of Cui Zhouping, Cui Zhouping looked at the empty teacup for a long time, smiled, sighed, and poured tea for Huang Yueying, while saying, "The girl's answer Cui Jun knows, but it's a pity, Kong Ming is really in love with the girl, this, I am sure." ”

"But it's nothing, everyone in the world is intoxicated with women's skins, and the people who know that girls are good are probably only Kong Ming, and only a man like Kong Ming can barely match a girl, Cui Jun thinks that sooner or later you will go together."

"Really?" Huang Yueying asked in her heart, looked into the distance, and didn't know where Zhuge Liang went, sure enough, since he was ten years old and uglier and uglier, except for Zhuge Liang, no one has seen him, and Huang Chengyan and his wife have been ten years old.

Even the butcher Liu Zhang also dislikes himself, it seems that he can really only marry Zhuge Liang in this life.
