Chapter 65: Calculating Huang Zu
On the day of the autumn harvest, on the general's mansion in Moling, Lu Rui held a grand wedding for Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen married the sister of the Buqi clan, and the civil and military forces of Yangzhou gathered in the Moling General's Mansion to congratulate Cao Zhen.
At this time, Yuzhang was too guarded in the mansion, Sun Quan was drinking alone, Sun Quan raided Yuzhang Shanyue, so that Yuzhang Shanyue fled to the southern Jiaozhou border, Sun Quan established prestige in the army, but Liu Biao pacified Jingnan, and the class returned to Xiangyang, which made Sun Quan nervous, and hurriedly sent Lu Su as an envoy to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao.
Xiangyang Liu Biaofu, Liu Biao's henchmen, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun discussed military and political affairs in Liu Biao's study.
"Congratulations to the general on pacifying Jingnan and becoming the overlord of Jingzhou!" Kuai Yue first stood up and congratulated Liu Biao on pacifying Jingnan. Liu Biao rode Jingzhou only to obtain the position of Jingzhou Governor, and the pacification of Jingnan is a sign that Liu Biao is the lord of Jingzhou, and the edict can be spread all over Jingzhou!
"Yes." Liu Biao nodded.
"Xenodu, when I left Xiangyang, what happened to Liu Bei?" Although Liu Biao took in Liu Bei, he still guarded against Liu Bei, and only provided the necessary defensive baggage to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei could defend Cao Cao in Xu Du, as for other aspects, he just said one thing and did another.
"Back to the lord, please rest assured, Liu Bei just came to the general's mansion many times and asked for a raid on Xu Du, but he was persuaded by his subordinates to retreat on the grounds that the lord was not in Xiangyang."
"Zirou, what do you think about this?" Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Liang.
"The lord, the lord has just pacified Jingnan, the vitality has not yet recovered, Cao Cao leads the Central Plains, and the new Yangzhou. Even Yuan Shao was defeated by him. If our army is in the north at this time, the Central Plains. It will definitely hurt his vitality, and I am afraid that he will take advantage of Liu Bei's loopholes. ”
"Well, what Zirou said is reasonable. So how does Zirou think our army should deal with the situation in the world? ”
"Lord, the former lord and Sun Jian had a grudge, the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, if the lord proposed to marry Sun Quan, become in-laws, and protect Jingzhou together."
"Zirou means to make Liu Bei the barrier to the north. Sun Quan is the barrier to the east, guarding my Jingzhou? ”
"Exactly, the lord, Jingzhou is rich in the people, as long as the lord works hard, in less than five years, Jingzhou will be able to dominate the Central Plains, and when the time comes, the lord will be able to move westward and seize Xichuan will be able to achieve a great cause."
"But Zirou, Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu?" Liu Biao touched his beard. glanced at Kuai Liang.
"My lord, since Huang Zu is the murderer of Sun Jian. Then we can put all the charges on Huang Zu, and then hand over Huang Zu to Sun Quan, and then marry Sun Quan, when the time comes, Sun Quan may have nothing to say. Kuai Liang made a suggestion.
As soon as Kuai Liang's words fell, the atmosphere in the room changed, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun showed strange eyes, while Liu Biao looked at the four of them, his eyes kept rolling. Jingzhou is also controlled by the wealthy family, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou by virtue of his marriage with the Cai family, but it does not mean that Liu Biao will compromise with the wealthy family, and it is a wise monarch's choice to suppress the family.
"Zirou, if we dispose of Huang Zu, I'm afraid that the Jingzhou family will be dissatisfied, do we have to think about it in the long run?"
As soon as Cai Mao's words came out, Kuai Liang smiled, Cai Mao, as a new family in Jingzhou, is relatively weak, Cai Mao relied on his ability to command the naval army, controlled part of the military power in Jingzhou, and married the late Eastern Han Dynasty Captain Zhang Wen, which formed today's Jingzhou Cai family.
Compared with the Pang family, the Huang family, and the Wang family, the Cai family has the least domestic slaves and fields, and if it weren't for Liu Biao, the Jingzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, I am afraid that there would be no good life. Liu Biao also thought about winning over the Jingzhou family, marrying the weakest family to make it easier for him to control.
The Cai family is the weakest family, so Cai Mao must want to attack the powerful Huang family and expand the strength of his family.
"Don't worry, there is a plan to let Huang Zu die at the hands of Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan and our army have no more grievances, and they can form an alliance!"
"What is Zirou's plan?"
"De Jue, I heard that Yuzhang Sun Quan sent a messenger Lu Su to come, leaning on the bottom to see, Sun Quan wants to form an alliance with our army, our army only needs to use the borrowed knife to kill people, so that Huang Zu can die at the hands of Sun Quan, and at that time, we can form an alliance with Sun Quan, but this person who contacted Sun Quan is none other than De Quan!"
"This?" Cai Mao is the head of the Cai family, naturally knows how powerful it is, Kuai Liang, as Liu Biao's henchman, must have released people by Huang Zu's side, as long as the marching route is revealed, Huang Zu himself is difficult to protect, Sun Quan is also handy to kill Huang Zu, but he has to be the messenger himself, Cai Mao is a little uncomfortable, isn't this knowing that it is a pit, and he has to jump down?
"Dejue, I'm going to trouble you about this matter." Cai Mao is Liu Biao's brother-in-law, and he is the best!
"No!" Liu Biao opened his mouth, what else could he do, he could only accept it.
On the second day, Cai Mao came to the post where Lu Su stayed, and after talking with Lu Su for a few hours, he left, and Lu Su did not stay in Xiangyang for a long time, but immediately returned to Yuzhang.
Yuzhang is too guarded in the house, Sun Quan listened to Lu Su's reply, touched his temples, and thought quietly, there have been too many things that have happened recently, Jiangdong Sun was wiped out, his mother (although not biological) was also accepted by Cao Cao, and the Bu family, who was originally going to be accepted as a concubine, also became Cao Zhen's wife, Sun Quan has not slept well for a few days, this time hearing Lu Su's return, Sun Quan has to think about it carefully, if Liu Biao also comes to a Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, he will not have this old book!
"Zijing, you say, is this Liu Biao's strategy?"
"What does the lord mean is that Liu Biao also wants to use the Ming Xiu Plank Road to darken Chen Cang?"
"Not bad!"
"The lord is worried, although our army was raided by Cao Cao and lost Yangzhou, but Liu Biao's situation is not very good, if Liu Biao fights with our army again, Cao Cao's army will go south, Jingzhou will not be able to protect, if Cao Cao wins Jingzhou, the general trend of the world will be Cao Cao, Liu Biao will not give away his foundation." Lu Su analyzed the situation of the princes in the world and made suggestions to Sun Quan.
"Well, what Zijing said is reasonable." Sun Quan integrated the general trend of the world again, and felt that if Liu Biao attacked him, then he would dig a grave for himself, and Liu Biao would never be such a stupid person.
"Okay, Zijing. We will act according to Liu Biao's plan, and if we marry Liu Biao, and Liu Biao has two sons, who should we marry? Cai Mao had already expressed to Lu Su that he would marry Sun Quan's sister Sun (the legendary bow waist Ji) to Liu Biao's son, and the two families would form an in-law.
"Lord, my subordinates think that we should let Miss marry Liu Cong!" When Sun raided Moling in Lu Rui, he was playing in the city, was rescued by Zhang Zhao, and brought back Yuzhang!
"Why is it Liu Biao's second son?"
"Lord, Liu Cong is Cai Mao's nephew, born in the Jingzhou family, the Jingzhou family will inevitably support him to inherit Liu Biao's position, Cai Mao holds the military power of Jingzhou, this person is the object of our wooing!"
"Okay, according to Zijing's words, this matter will be handed over to Zijing, by the way, don't tell Gong Jin about this matter, after Gong Jin returns to Yuzhang, the general will explain to Gong Jin in person!"
"My subordinates understand!" In order to consolidate his military power, Sun Quan sent Zhou Yu to encircle and suppress Shanyue on the border of Jiaozhou. (To be continued......)
