Chapter 159: Fight!
It's night, and the spring rain is shining.
Kuai Yue returned to the post house, ordered the servant to make a bowl of sobering soup, and washed his face with cold water, and suddenly sobered up a lot.
Tuk tuk!
There was a knock on the door, followed by someone pulling the door open, and Huang Jiang walked in from the outside.
"Xeno, sobered up?"
Kuai Yue leaned against the couch and exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Chengyan, I wasn't drunk in the first place. ā
Huang Jiang smiled, sat down on the side, looked at Kuai Yue and said, "What, can you make a decision?" ā
"What do you think?"
Kuai Yue asked rhetorically, stood up and walked to the door, signaled the retainers outside the door to be on alert, and then returned to sit down and took another sip of honey water.
"This son is quite decisive, and the plan is not small."
Huang Jiang said with a smile: "It can be seen that he does not have the arrogance and arrogance of a young man, and he knows everything he does better." I have a feeling that he will not live in Beihai or Donglai for long, this is only a temporary place for him, not an indispensable inheritance. ā
Kuai Yue nodded, "What Cheng Yan said is extremely true. ā
This Huangjiang is nothing more than a pseudonym.
Huang Chengyan's real name is Huang Yan, and he is the elder brother of Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, and he is also from the Jiangxia Huang family.
Huang Zu killed You Heng at the beginning of the year, which made Huang Chengyan very angry. When he left Jiangxia with his daughter, it was tantamount to drawing a line with Huang Zu. After living in Wollongong for a few days, he was invited by Kuai Yue, saying that he was going to send Gaomi. It just so happened that Huang Chengyan also wanted to go out for a walk, and at the same time he was also very interested in Liu Chuang's papermaking and book compilation. After all, this is a literary event...... Don't you see those hermits who have lived in the mountains for a long time, and they have also come out of the mountains to be invited? Huang Chengyan is also a celebrity, so he naturally doesn't want to miss such a grand event.
So, Huang Chengyan took his wife and children and came with Kuai Yue.
He closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, "Then Xenoshi made a decision?" ā
Kuai Yue smiled, "I can't say that I made a decision, but I was taught by the Marquis of Zhongling back then, and if I can help him today, it can be regarded as repaying the love of the year." Moreover, it is reasonable to take precautions. Although he is not qualified to enter Jingzhou now, how do you know that he will not have a chance in the future? The sooner you make friends, the more affection you have. I helped him today, and I think he will return this favor to me one day. ā
Huang Chengyan smiled.
"Xeno, you're really calculating."
Kuai Yue showed a bitter smile, "What kind of calculation, it's just a prisoner."
I don't believe it, you Huang Chengyan didn't see the strangeness in this. Liu Jingsheng has decided to make a move on the five surnames of Jingxiang, it was your Huang family before, and in the future, my Kuai family will not be able to escape the fate of being calculated by him. If not, how could you be so lightly moved? ā
Huang Chengyan couldn't help laughing, his fingers were more and more pointed, but he didn't defend himself.
Liu Biao's intentions, he can see it, Kuai Yue can naturally find out...... It is even said that including Pang and Xi, they may have seen the clues, but the relationship between Pang and Xi and Liu Biao is relatively deeper, and Liu Biao will not calculate them in a short time.
Among the five surnames, the Cai family is the closest to Liu Biao, and the Huang family has always supported Liu Biao, but at the same time is independent of Liu Biao's core. After all, Huang Zu was the Taishou of Jiangxia, holding soldiers and horses, and he could be regarded as a prince. And the lintel of the Huang family is quite deep, the family of the two generations and the three princes, and the influence is so great, even if Liu Biao is a relative of the emperor and the pastor of Jingzhou, he cannot shake the status of the Huang family in Jingzhou, especially Jiangxia.
Therefore, Liu Biao's first knife fell on Huang's head.
Kuai Yue said: "Then are you still going to go?" ā
"Naturally, I'm going."
Huang Chengyan said softly: "It's not a good time to go back to Jingzhou now.
Although the Huang family has surrendered to Liu Biao, he may not let us go...... From then on, Huang's poetry and books will be inherited, and no more talk about state affairs. If I can participate in the compilation of the book, at least I can keep my Huang family's style. With this layer, Liu Biao will not help me when I go back. ā
Making paper and compiling books is like gilding going abroad in later generations.
Jiangxia Huang also needs such an aura now, otherwise sooner or later he will be calculated to death by that Liu Biao.
Kuai Yue understood Huang Chengyan's thoughts, in fact, the reason why he came to Gaomi to see Liu Chuang was also to hope to get some external support.
Otherwise, he knew that Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were brave and crowned the three armies, but he didn't stop Liu Biao from summoning him?
"What are you going to do?"
Huang Chengyan looked at Kuai Yue and asked.
Kuai Yue thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said softly: "Don't worry, Jingsheng can't count me." ā
"Oh?"
"After I go back this time, I will give up the Kuai family's property in Nanjun, and then build yƬ Zirou, move my family south, and go to Guiyang."
Huang Chengyan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a sudden expression.
"Are you trying to ......?"
"Guiyang is desolate, the mountains are rampant, Jiaozhou in the south, Yuzhang in the east, is a barren land.
But because of this, Jingsheng will never be stingy with Guiyang...... I want to ask Liu Mengyan for a letter tomorrow, according to Guiyang's friendship with Shixie, a hundred years later, my Kuai clan will definitely be more prosperous than now. Not to mention, if I give up Nanjun, can Liu Jingshengyan not compensate me? ā
Huang Chengyan suddenly realized, his fingers crossed, and he said softly: "Xeno, you have taken a risky move." ā
"Whether it's dangerous or not, it's still uncertain.
But I know that if the Kuai family goes to Guiyang, Liu Jingsheng will have no excuse to calculate my Kuai family again.
Chengyan, if this matter is successful, why don't you go to Guiyang with me? Wouldn't it be nice to stay away from right and wrong than to be so scared now? ā
Huang Chengyan shook his head with a smile and said, "If you go to Guiyang, I won't be allowed to go." ā
Kuai Yue immediately understood that it was okay for him to go to Hangyang by himself, and if even the Huang family moved to Hangyang, it would inevitably arouse Liu Biao's vigilance.
At this time, it is better not to go to the group. The more you huddle, the easier it is to be jealous of Liu Biao, which is counterproductive.
Huang Chengyan said: "If you want a strong man to break his wrist, I also want to make dangerous moves."
I stayed in Buqi and continued to observe Liu Chuang for a while. If Liu Chuang can succeed, I will attach myself to him and protect the Huang family. ā
Personal choices are different, and Huang's vitality was greatly damaged after experiencing a suppression by Liu Biao.
If you move to Guiyang again, you will be suspicious of Liu Biao, and second, it will cause turmoil within the clan, which is not beautiful.
Therefore, the Kuai family can move south, but the Huang family cannot.
Huang Chengyan decided to take a chance on his future to see if he could fight for a way out......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day, Huang Chengyan took his daughter and retainers to Kuai Yue and said goodbye to him, and went straight to him.
He didn't inform Liu Chuang and left quietly. However, Huang Chengyan also knows that since he showed up yesterday, how could Liu Chuang not pay attention to him?
Anyway, he has nothing to fear, and it is the best choice for him to make up books.
After Huang Chengyan left, Kuai Yue came to the door alone to visit Liu Chuang.
Sure enough, during the conversation, Liu Chuang asked him about Huang Chengyan's origin, and Kuai Yue did not hide it, explaining Huang Chengyan's identity.
"Meng Yan don't blame him, Cheng Yan changed his name and surname this time, and he was also forced to do so.
Presumably, Meng Yan also heard that Huang Zu killed You Heng in Jiangxia, which caused Shilin to be shaken, so Cheng Yan was also cautious when acting now, and he had no intention of disrespecting Meng Yan. ā
"It turns out that it's Huang Chengyan!"
Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment and snorted softly.
To be honest, his impression of Huang Chengyan is very vague, limited to that appearance in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In addition, it is his son-in-law Zhuge Liang...... The reason why Liu Chuang sighed was also to sigh at the wonder of this creation. Zhuge Liang couldn't go to Jingzhou, but he didn't expect Huang Chengyan to come to Gaomi. I don't know, how old is Huang Chengyan's daughter now? Will Zhuge Liang still be his son-in-law? As soon as he thought of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to know how this follow-up would develop.
"Meng Yan, we don't do dark things."
Kuai Yue thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I came here for two things, one public and one private.
It stands to reason that I should have been on business first. But now, I want to talk about personal matters first...... The matter of You Heng is actually a manifestation of Liu Jingzhou's dissatisfaction with my Jingxiang clan. Since the ancestor Kuaitong, my Kuai family has lived in Jingxiang. Liu Jingzhou wants to surrender my family, but I don't want to bow down. Yesterday, when Meng Yan talked about Shiweikao, I remembered one thing, and I hope to get your help from Meng Yan......"
Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Kuai Yue to speak so straight to the point.
He muttered, "How does Mr. Xenomorph need my help?" ā
"I need a letter from Meng Yan to make me friends with Wei Kao."
Kuai Yue's eyes were burning and he stared at Liu Chuang.
He didn't hide his thoughts, but said them openly and honestly, which also made Liu Chuang's good impression of him increase a lot.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Gaomen valve had not yet risen, but the family began to take shape.
He can understand Kuai Yue's thoughts, he is loyal to the imperial court, loyal to Liu Biao, but more loyal to his own family. In particular, the Kuai family, which has been around for hundreds of years, has a deep heritage. Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou and relied on the five surnames of Jingxiang to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou. But as his power grew, he was no longer willing to be restrained.
Therefore, the contradiction between Liu Biao and the Jingzhou scholars cannot be avoided.
Not to mention, Liu Biao's methods are clever...... first married the Cai family, got the help of the Cai family, and surrounded the Xi and Pang families.
Although the Huang family and the Cai family are also relatives, Huang Chengyan's wife is the sister of Liu Biao's wife Cai, but the Huang family holds the military power of Jiangxia and has always been Liu Biao's confidant. As long as the arrogance of the Huang family is defeated, Liu Biao will be able to control Jingzhou more steadily......
This is also an incentive for the Kuai brothers to surrender to Cao Cao later.
To put it bluntly, the contradiction between the Jingzhou Shi clan and Liu Biao was irreconcilable in the later period. In order to protect their own interests, it was naturally impossible for the Kuai brothers to tolerate Liu Bei's occupation of Jingxiang. There's a lot of ingenuity in this, but it's not a single sentence that can be explained. In short, Kuai Yue expressed his attitude to Liu Chuang, and this attitude is naturally the result that Liu Chuang is most happy to see.
"So, Mr. Xenodu wants to move south to Guiyang?"
"Exactly."
Kuai Yue said softly: "This is a secret between you and me, just like I know that Han Shengxing is brave and brave, but I didn't stop it." ā
Liu Chuang showed a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said, "In that case, you and I swear by high-five." ā
Kuai Yue didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and high-fived Liu Chuang three times! The secret covenant between Kuai and Liu Chuang was formed from this.
"What's next?"
Kuai Yue Zhengse said: "Liu Jingzhou ordered me to come this time in the hope of forming an alliance with Meng Yan. ā
"Huh?"
"Thinking about it, Meng Yan knows that Cao Cao will conquer Jingzhou sooner or later.
Liu Jingzhou hoped that Meng Yan would be able to contain Cao Cao's troops and horses in Beihai if necessary, so that he would not be able to attack Jingxiang with all his might. ā
"This ......"
Liu Chuang smiled: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ā
"I want to hear about it."
"Cao Cao was ordered by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the division was famous.
Nanyang is far away from Xudu, and the night is coming, how can he let go lightly? Although I have occupied Beihai Donglai and I for three and five years, I can't say that I can compete with him. But now, Hugh sees that I am strong and strong, but to compete with Cao Cao, it is also to hit a stone with an egg.
It's not that I underestimate myself, but I know very well that I'm not Cao Cao's opponent.
I can contain Cao Cao, but if Cao Cao comes to attack me, I'm afraid Liu Jingzhou will never send troops to help...... So, this covenant doesn't do me any good. If Liu Jingzhou really wants to stop Cao Cao, I have a plan. Why doesn't Mr. Xenomorph turn his attention to the north? ā
"You mean ......"
Liu Chuang smiled and nodded, making a gesture that you know and I know.
Kuai Yue immediately understood, "Meng Yan's plan is very good, since this is the case, I will send an envoy to Hebei tomorrow." ā
"Then Hansheng and Xingba ......"
Kuai Yue said: "Meng Yan, rest assured, I will help you." ā
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That night, Kuai Yue brought Huang Zhong and Gan Ning over.
"General Hansheng, Xingba...... The purpose of my search for you two must be clear to you.
Liu Jingzhou is elegant by nature, likes literary affairs, and hates soldiers. Moreover, Liu Jingzhou has no enterprising spirit since he won Jingzhou, and if you two stay in Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to display your talents. I won't go into details about the situation of Xingba...... Unless you're willing to cling to Haoqiang, it's hard to stand out. As for General Hansheng, the situation is worse than that of Xingba. Although you worship Zhonglang General, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, it is just a thug next to Liu Jushi...... What's more, if you are not Liu Jingzhou's confidant, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a chance.
Now, Uncle Liu Huang attaches great importance to the two of you and is willing to give you two the opportunity to display your ambitions.
It's up to you to decide whether you stay or go...... I'm not trying to rebel against Liu Jingzhou, but I'm really thinking about the future of the two of you. ā
Kuai Yue's words are heartfelt.
Gan Ning and Huang Zhong didn't know what to do for a while.
After a long time, Gan Ning sighed and said: "I think that at the beginning, I was invited by Jingzhou to drive Liu Xu, although Shen Milou launched an army and wanted to meet Hu Mao, but was defeated by Liu Zhang, and had to leave his hometown and come to Jingzhou. I thought that Liu Jingzhou would value me, but I didn't know it. I have been in my hometown of Nanyang for nearly four years, but I have not been given any opportunities. I thought that this life was hopeless, but I didn't expect it......
General Hansheng, I had a drink with Wei Yan yesterday and heard something about Uncle Liu Huang from him.
Uncle Liu Huang came to Gaomi, rejuvenated agriculture in Tuntian, and recruited displaced people...... He is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he is also considered to be the orthodox of the imperial court. I thought about it and decided to stay, wanting to give it a chance. I don't know General Hansheng, what do you think? ā
Huang Zhong listened to Kuai Yue's words, and his heart was full of emotion.
In fact, his current embarrassment, how can he not know?
It's just that Liu Chuang can really reuse him?
Although Huang Zhong refuses to accept old age, he is a man of fifty years after all...... In the eyes of Liu Biao and others, he is just an old pawn. Although Liu Chuang is very calm, he is young after all. Will he be able to do big things? Huang Zhong didn't know very well. He doesn't have time to splurge anymore!
"Mr. Xenodu, can this Uncle Liu Huang really succeed?"
Kuai Yue smiled slightly, "I don't know if Uncle Liu Huang can succeed."
But I know that he has a complete plan every step of the way, and he must not underestimate this person because he is young.
I know what Hansheng is worried about, but sometimes, if you don't fight once, how can you know the result? Isn't it really going to be old and sighing? ā
"This ......"
Kuai Yue's words hit Huang Zhong's heart.
Regardless of whether Liu Chuang can succeed or not, he at least values himself.
This can be seen from the fact that he recruited himself from Jingzhou...... If this is the case, it does not matter whether it is successful or not, and the husband dies for his confidant. Since Liu Chuang values himself, and in this world, no one seems to value him, why not just let it go?
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "Thank you Mr. Xenodu for your advice, I am willing to give it a go." ā
He hesitated, and then said softly: "It's just that I still have a wife and daughter at home......
Kuai Yue waved his hand and said: "What is this matter, after I go back, I will send someone to send Hansheng's wife and daughter, and no one will be humiliated." ā
Huang Zhong's only son, Huang Xu, has passed away for many years.
He had a daughter under his knees, sixteen years of age......
Since Kuai Yue said so, Huang Zhong no longer had any concerns.
He said softly, "So, thank you, sir." ā
When he walked out of the post house, Huang Zhong's private Gan Ning stood side by side.
The spring rain kept falling, but it couldn't extinguish the blazing flame in the chests of the two.
"General Hansheng, please take care of me in the future."
Gan Ning suddenly gave up his hand and waved at Huang Zhong.
And Huang Zhong smiled slightly, and said softly: "Xingba, in the future, you and I will need to move around more." ā
They are both from Nanyang, and they are both in a foreign land...... The ancients had a great affection for the countryside, and since they decided to stay here, they needed to support each other.
After saying that, both of them couldn't help but laugh!
The next day, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning accompanied Liu Chuang and sent the Jingzhou delegation away.
When parting, Liu Chuang and Kuai Yue looked like strangers, although their words were polite, they showed a sense of alienation. It's just that from the eyes of the two, a trace of compatibility can be seen.
"Uncle Liu Huang: 'There will be a period after this farewell.
I hope to meet again, Uncle Liu Huang has already achieved fame. ā
"Mr. Kuai, I also wish you success."
He watched Kuai Yue board the car, and surrounded by the mission, slowly moved north until he could no longer be seen.
Liu Chuang couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, and he was secretly happy in his heart, because he knew that on the road in the future, he would have one more ally.
"General Hansheng."
"The end will be."
Huang Zhong flashed out and bowed.
"Jin Ziyi is stationed in Gumu, and Gongliu is out of the town of Dongwu.
Gaomi County, it is even more necessary for the general to stay, so I ask you to temporarily succumb to the position of Zhonglang General and sit in Gaomi on my behalf...... Wen Chang! ā
"The end will be."
"You are the lieutenant of Chun Yu, and the deputy general of General Hansheng...... From now on, we must not slack off in the exercise of soldiers and horses! ā
When Wei Yan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Wei Yan will live up to the trust of his son." ā
From a military Sima to a deputy general, Wei Yan was naturally happy.
And Huang Zhong was also very excited in his heart...... Although he is still a lieutenant general, he is in charge of an army. For Huang Zhong, who has gone through ups and downs, how can he not feel happy. You must know that the last time he led an army alone, he still served under Qin Jie's account. It's been more than ten years.
Liu Chuang turned around and straddled the horse.
"Xingba, you clean up, and early tomorrow morning, follow me to Xiami." (To be continued.)
