"Daddy!"

The twenty-eight girl was lively and cute, blinking her eyes and asking, "What did Lu Bo say?" ”

"Hehe," Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled, "There is a guest visiting, and my father is going to meet the guest." ”

"Oh."

When the girl heard this, her eyes rolled, and she jumped to Cai Yong's side: "I'll go too!" ”

Cai Yong smiled dotingly: "You are a girl's family, what kind of guest will you show up?" As he spoke, he nodded the girl's nose, waved his sleeves and turned away.

"Jin'er, come here."

At this time, Cai Yan beckoned to his sister and said angrily: "Be quiet." ”

Under the guidance of the old servant, Li Zheng went to the side hall and sat down, and the old servant served tea again, so he didn't take two sips, and saw an elegant and clear old man with a familiar face turn out of the back hall.

Li Zheng got up, smiled, and said, "Uncle Gong don't come to harm?" ”

When Cai Yong saw that it was Li Zheng, his face immediately sank. He couldn't forget that it was the young man in front of him, who now seemed polite, who resolutely denied the continued existence of the Han Dynasty and arrested him in prison.

There is always a kind of grief and indignation in his heart, which burns him all the time.

So his tone immediately became stiff: "It turned out to be General Li!" I don't know what General Li has to say when he comes to the old house? ”

"Uncle is serious!"

Li Zheng's posture was very low.

This old man is destined to become the old man's, and he is also a truly admirable man, no matter what, Li Zheng still has to maintain a certain amount of respect for him.

Of course, the day before yesterday, it was just an accident.

Cai Yong snorted, returned the salute slightly, sat down, and said, "General Li can tell me if he has anything." ”

Li Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's still Bo Gong who understands me, I'm a very direct person, and I never beat around the bush." ”

Cai Yong was angry, blew his beard and glared, and looked straight at Li Zheng.

"Well, that's right." Li Zheng pondered for a moment, his face was a little embarrassed, and said: "I knew that the daughter of Bo Gong was beautiful and fragrant, and she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this time she came to propose marriage."

"What?!"

Cai Yong was immediately angry, stood up with a bang, and flicked his sleeves and said, "This is not allowed!" Old decay is unattainable! ”

"Bo Jiaogong's words are wrong." Li Zheng still smiled: "Li has no family background, how can he talk about climbing high or not?" ”

"You!" Cai Yongxu was angry: "If you can't, you can't!" The little girl has not yet reached the end of this year, and it is too early to talk about marriage at this time! ”

"Not yet?" Li Zheng was stunned, but he clearly knew that Cai Yan was widowed at home, what was not yet in time? Cai Yan's peach-like mature face is definitely over twenty!

"That's natural, the little girl Cai Jin is not yet fifteen this year, so naturally she can't make it to the end, how can you talk about marriage?" Cai Yong said.

Li Zheng was stunned.

It seems that Cai Yong misunderstood, thinking that he was going to marry this little girl named Cai Jin, tsk, I didn't expect Cai Yong to have a little daughter.

"Bo Jiaogong misunderstood!" Li Zheng laughed and said, "I'm here for Miss Zhaoji." ”

"Akihime?!"

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, his anger decreased slightly, but he still had a calm face.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with Li Zheng.

"Zhao Ji is a widow, how can he be worthy of a general? This matter is not mentioned, the general, please come back! Cai Yong flatly refused.

"Don't refuse, don't refuse, and listen to what you say from the bottom of your heart." Li Zheng said seriously: "Although Li is from a humble background, he has long heard of Zhaoji's talent, but he has admired it for a long time. I met Zhao Ji the day before yesterday, and we talked very happily, and we were even more in love. In the past few days, it is difficult to press the thoughts in my heart, and after thinking about it, I have today's trip. ”

Li Zheng kept talking, and continued: "Although Zhao Ji has had a marriage, she doesn't care about it. Bo Jiaogong did not agree to this family business, but it was because of what he did that made Bo Jiaogong angry. But I think Bo Jiaogong is biased. ”

"I love Akihime, and it has nothing to do with what I do. Although I denied the continued existence of the Han Dynasty, which may make Bo Jigong's heart ache, it does not mean that I can't give Zhao Ji happiness. Bo Gong is Zhao Ji's father, and as a father, he should think about his daughter's future, and should not associate Zhao Ji's happiness with this matter, which is irresponsible to Zhao Ji. ”

When Cai Yong heard this, his expression gradually calmed down and he was silent.

Seeing this, Li Zheng knew that he had moved Cai Yong, so he made persistent efforts and said: "The Han Dynasty is brilliant, I don't deny this. For example, my generation can also understand the feelings of the Han Dynasty. But Bo Gong , the current Han Dynasty, is it still necessary to save zài? There's no need for it! You look at the princes rising together, you look at the beacon fire in the sky, the Han Dynasty has actually come to an end. No matter how much it is not maintained, it will eventually be annihilated, and the long pain is better than the short pain, the sooner this troubled world ends, it is the best choice for anyone, why not end it as soon as possible and start a new chapter?! I, Li, do not deny my ambitions, yes, what I want is these thousands of miles. But I can confidently say that I can do better than my predecessors! Bo Jiaogong, you are also a wise man with a broad vision, you must also know some of the situation in my Liangzhou, if you can tell me which point I am not doing well, you can bring it up directly, you can scold me, I will change it immediately. ”

"You are a great man, I think that for you, the inheritance of Ming is the most important thing. Troubled times can destroy Ming. The sooner the troubled times end, the more complete the Ming can be preserved. At the beginning, I also said to Ci Ming Gong that since the Han Dynasty was destined to fall, why should I worry about it anymore? People have to look forward, and you, as the greatest, have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Ming inheritance. The Han Dynasty is gone, but the Ming of the Han Dynasty can be passed down for eternity! This is also another way of saving in the Han Dynasty. ”

"What my brother-in-law said is so good!"

At this time, an exclamation came from the back hall, and Li Zheng and Cai Yong couldn't help but turn their faces sideways.

I saw that the curtain that entered the back hall was lifted, revealing a delicate little face.

Cai Yong's face immediately darkened.

was waiting, and saw Cai Yan blushing and pulling Cai Jin out.

"Daddy, General!"

Cai Yan was slightly blessed, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Li Zheng. Cai Jin hid behind her sister and secretly grimaced at Li Zheng, making Li Zheng smile.

Cai Yong sighed, glared at Cai Jin fiercely, and then said to Li Zheng: "You... It's good, it's good, it's just that the old man is too stubborn, alas" sighed, Cai Yong's face was entangled.

Li Zheng's heart relaxed, although this big man has a scholarly spirit, but he finally began to be more enlightened, so he smiled: "My Liangzhou has always paid attention to education and the inheritance of Ming, and the education system has been popularized to the bottom. Bo Gong can be a companion with Ciming Gong, and also contribute to the development and growth of my Huaxia Ming! ”

Cai Yong smiled reluctantly, stood up, shook his sleeves, and said, "Okay, your business, the old man doesn't care" said, turned around and pulled Cai Jin up, and in Cai Jin's reluctant expression, turned into the back hall.

Li Zheng smiled, got up, slowly approached Cai Yan, who had never dared to look at him, and took her hand affectionately

In September, Li Chongxiao of Liangzhou took Yizhou, according to Guanzhong, descended Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo, and got half of the matter, like nine days of thunder, which shook the entire Han world!

Whether it is Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who are growing in power, or Liu Bei and Sun Ce, who have not yet risen, or Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao, who are at their peak, they are all shocked.

They seemed to see the gloomy clouds shrouded in the sky, and the name Li Chongxiao of Liangzhou, which replaced Dong Zhuo's Cunzài, made them feel a huge pressure and threat.

However, at this time, none of them had the strength to face this heavy pressure.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, had just died in the hands of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and Cao Cao was trying to gather the remnants of Liu Dai's strength, and he had no time to look west. Li Zheng occupied Guanzhong and bordered Yanzhou, so that he could only draw some strength and take his brother Cao Ren as the commander, stationed in the area of Chenliu to guard against the Xiliang soldiers.

And Yuan Shu, who is entrenched in Nanyang and Yuzhou, is busy extending his tentacles to Yangzhou, and he has no time to take care of anything else. Only troops were stationed in Luyang and Wuguan as a precaution.

As for Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he has just stabilized the internal situation in Jingzhou. He was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the pastor of Jingzhou last year, and he went to Jingzhou alone, and he used his political skills, and only now will he stabilize Jingzhou, and he has to guard against Yuan Shu, and he has no strength to look north.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou was busy uniting with the remnants of the Xiongnu and strangling the Black Mountain thieves, while confronting Gongsun Zan and fighting for Qingzhou, while also thinking about how to use the card of the little emperor. Liu Xie left Guanzhong, looked around at a loss, and finally chose him because Yuan Shao was the most powerful, and continued to be a puppet.

Yuan Shao originally wanted to hold the card of the little emperor and make another alliance to defeat Li Zheng. However, he was dissuaded by his advisers.

First, now that the princes everywhere are busy growing their power, or in an emergency, or in a weak moment, where do they have the heart to join the alliance?

Second, the princes at this time are not like the princes when Dong Zhuochu was in power. At that time, although they had their own plans, after all, there was no direct contradiction, and there was a suppression in the name of the Han Dynasty at the top, so they could gather lightly. Now it is different, first of all, Li Chongxiao denied the continued existence of the Han Dynasty, which further reduced the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and was almost ignored by anyone. Secondly, the rivalry between the various princes has entered a white heat, and there is a deep hatred. For example, Gongsun Chan will never unite with Yuan Shao.

They are afraid of being used as a gunman! To crusade against Li Zheng, you always have to assign tasks, which one is the striker and which one is the logistics. The princes can't work together, each with a ghost, in case he puts his energy on Li Zheng, is stabbed in the back, and dies unexplained, then it will be really wronged!

Therefore, at this time, it is unlikely that the alliance will be established.

It's not that the strategy is bad, it's that the time has not come.

Looking at the current situation of Li Chongxiao in Liangzhou, I am afraid that he will be stronger than Dong Zhuo at the beginning. In the face of such a powerful enemy, the princes on the weak side were already passive. Second, only when it really burns the eyebrows, it is possible to abandon the previous suspicions and unite with the alliance. Now that Li Zheng has not moved, the princes have not yet felt the pain, and it is not the right time.

Moreover, the princes are still fighting for territory, trying their best to grow, and they have not yet settled down, and they are still in chaos within themselves, how dare they take the initiative to provoke Li? Only when the situation tends to stabilize and the internal sorting is clear, is the best time to discuss this matter.
