Chapter 317: Wooing the Jingzhou Shi Clan

Just walked to the door,

Sun Shangxiang heard the words with a smile behind him:

"It's like this, you can earn money by reading casually, but I don't know that there are many people in this world who want to do it."

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Sun Shangxiang also stopped, turned around and looked at Xi Yu with a pouting mouth,

Although he was very dissatisfied, Sun Shangxiang knew that he could only read to him now, and if he didn't study, he might really have no way to repay the money.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Shangxiang walked to Xi Yu's side, picked up "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and began to read it.

However, because Sun Shangxiang is illiterate, many words she doesn't know are constantly mispronounced.

It's like reading "There is a country of 蒍 (wei), and millet (shu) food." ",

Because she didn't know those two words, and she was afraid that she would read the wrong drama and deduct her money, Sun Shangxiang paused for a while and didn't say a word.

After that, although there was a reminder of play, it was still like pounding garlic, and it was only after pounding it that a sentence was read,

After half a day, Sun Shangxiang can be said to have read a lot and made a lot of mistakes.

Not only did he not earn a penny today, but he still owed Xi Yu I don't know how much money.

In the end, after Xi Yu came to deduct ten copper very plainly, Sun Shangxiang, who couldn't bear it anymore, ran out of Xi Yu's door crying.

And Gan Mei, who was at the door, saw that Sun Shangxiang ran out crying, so she also looked at Xi Yu in confusion.

"What's wrong with this Sun sister?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Xi Yu said in an extremely flat voice:

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about her, she thinks about it today, and she will come over by herself tomorrow."

The next day, Sun Shangxiang unsurprisingly reappeared in front of Xi Yu, and continued to do so for several days in a row.

While Xi Yu was extremely leisurely, under the calm water surface of Jingzhou, there was an undercurrent surging.

Like the rest of the world, the Kuai, Huang, Ma, Pang, Cai, Xi, and Yang of Jingzhou are all big families who have been operating here in Jingzhou for thousands of years.

The forces between the various families can be said to be intertwined, and the status of several families in Jingzhou can also be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Among them, the Kuai family is in Nanjun, the Huang family is in Xunan, the Ma family is in Yicheng, and the other four families are in Xiangyang.

As long as Xiangyang is controlled, it is to control most of the Jingzhou clans, and if you have the initiative, you can choose whether to win over or suppress the remaining families.

This is why Liu Bei gave up Jiangxia and took Liu Qi to Xiangyang desperately.

Liu Bei is quite popular in Jingzhou, as long as he masters these four families, the Jingzhou Shi clan will be in Liu Bei's hands from now on, and he can completely control Jingzhou in his own hands from then on.

According to the intelligence of the spies, Guo Jia and the others learned that

In this Xiangyang City, although the Pang family, the Xi family, and the Yang family formed an alliance on the surface to express their desire to arrange Liu, but behind the scenes, they had an early relationship with Liu Bei.

And the Cai family should logically have an indelible blood feud with Liu Bei, after all, its patriarch Cai Mao was killed by Liu Bei, but the strength gap between the two sides was too large, and the Cai family had to bow to Liu Bei.

On the surface, today's Xiangyang City has long been twisted into a rope by Liu Bei.

In addition to the big families, there are also those celebrities who have the right to speak in Jingzhou, and among these celebrities, Pang Degong is the head of the celebrities.

Although Pang Degong never came out of office in his life, he was indeed regarded as an elder brother by Sima Hui, and he was friendly to Huang Chengyan, and he was a hermit who had great influence among the major families in Jingzhou.

Because his reputation is too high, his words and deeds can also affect all parts of Jingzhou, not only can he simply control the trend of public opinion, but also can affect the decisions of the major families in Jingzhou.

After getting these news, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu made an extremely targeted plan based on this information.

First of all, the focus of the two of them is the Kuai family located in Nanjun, after all, the location of the Kuai family is the main road, and mastering the Kuai family is to form a pincer attack on Xiangyang.

Besides, this Kuai family and Liu Biao have an old relationship, and they definitely don't want to watch Liu Biao's foundation being seized by Liu Bei like this.

In addition to the Kuai family, the Huang family can also find a chance to unite, after all, the Huang family and Liu Bei had a feud before, and now the Huang family should still be angry.

And the Cai family can also test the tone and see what they think.

Pang Degong is also bound to look for it, but for other people, gold and silver artifacts can still be bought, but as a celebrity, Pang Degong quickly sneered at these yellow and white things.

So the people sent to find Pang Degong, Guo Jia didn't prepare much gold and silver for them, but just asked the person who led the team to send a message to Pang Degong.

Soon the caravan arrived at the Huang family in Jiangxia Anlu,

After seeing the caravan, Huang Zu, who had just fled back from Dawu and was still apprehensive, thought that the caravan was Liu Bei's saucer.

So after putting the caravan in, Huang Zu directly asked people to subdue the caravan, and the grain, salt, silver tickets, and heavy gifts engraved with Xu Yin were all detained.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Huang Zu's behavior, the person at the head of the caravan was a shrewd person selected by Guo Jia, and even in such a crisis scene, he did not panic at all.

Instead, he asked Huang Zu indifferently:

"I have heard that Huang Taishou is wise, but today Huang Taishou's actions are so absurd, it seems that what I heard before is really just rumors!"

Hearing what this person said, Huang Zu's eyes also showed a trace of doubt,

What this person said just now obviously recognized his identity, but since he appeared in front of this person, he has never mentioned his identity, how can this person know himself?

And looking at this person's behavior, it is not like that ordinary businessman, and the attitude of words and conversation is not like Liu Bei's attitude.

For a while, Huang Zu also had a trace of doubt in his heart about the identity of this person.

"Who are you?"

With a wave of his hand to make his subordinates step aside, Huang Zu asked about the identity of this person with a puzzled face.

Standing up, the leader of the caravan bowed his hand slightly towards Huang Zu.

"Huang Taishou, I am a pawn under the account of the opera public, and I came here today to discuss the matter of cooperating with Taishou and fighting against Liu Bei."

Hearing what the caravan leader said, Huang Zu frowned slightly, when he can be called a drama today, except for that drama Yu, Huang Zu can't think of anyone else.

"The drama man wants to cooperate with me?"

Huang Zu was of course very happy that Xi Yu wanted to cooperate with him against Liu Bei, but he still didn't understand why Xi Yu wanted to cooperate with him?

After all, with Xi Yu's current strength, wouldn't it be easy to kill Liu Bei?

Arching his hand slightly, the caravan leader said slowly:

"Liu Bei's treacherous plot to frame the patriarchs of Jiangxia families has long been spread all over the world, and the drama is benevolent, and he does not want the Jiangxia Hao clan to be oppressed by Liu Bei, so he sent villains to seek justice for the general, and these gifts are given to the general by the drama to show the sincerity of the cooperation between the drama and the general."

After a pause, the caravan leader continued:

"For example, everyone knows that Liu Qi is sick and will die soon, but if Liu Qi dies of illness, this Jingzhou pastor will inevitably be captured by Liu Bei, and then the general thinks that he Liu Bei will solve it first?"

"Isn't it just a wealthy nobleman like the general? And after the last feast, I am afraid that the general has already seen Liu Bei's hypocritical face and righteousness. ”

Subsequently, the leader of the caravan told Huang Zu all the things Guo Jia and he said, probably meaning that he wanted Huang Zu to unite with other families and overthrow Liu Bei together.

Listening to what the caravan leader said, Huang Zu also pondered slightly.

He was naturally clear about what the caravan leader said, in fact, he didn't have to wait for Liu Bei to completely master Jingzhou, since he was driven out of Jingzhou by Liu Bei, Huang Zu had actually fallen into a state of idleness.

It's just that now, he, Liu Bei, is already waiting to kill them all.

Not to mention that Liu Qi died of illness in the future, and it was time for Liu Bei to completely control Jingzhou.

It can be said that compared with Xi Yu, Huang Zu wants to let Liu Bei finish up more, but although the caravan leader said so indignantly, with an attitude of completely thinking about Huang Zu and others,

But Huang Zu didn't know how a person like Xi Yu could be the kind of wronged leader and help others for no reason.

"Oh? So I don't know what it means to play the gong? ”

Arching his hand, the caravan leader spoke slowly:

"The general knows, my lord is a truly benevolent person, and the army under my lord's command is a truly benevolent teacher, and now the territory under the jurisdiction of my lord can be described as Haiqing Heyan, and the people live and work in peace and contentment no longer worry about three meals a day, and the wealthy family also has income, and the family is becoming more and more prosperous."

"Therefore, in order to let the people of Jingzhou and the scholars can also have such a peaceful life, my lord is willing to govern Jingzhou with the people of the Jingzhou family, so that the people will no longer be troubled by war."

Listening to the words of the caravan leader, Huang Zu lowered his head thoughtfully,

Seeing that Huang Zu was still thinking, the caravan leader paused for a moment and continued:

"The general must know that it is only a matter of time before my lord unifies the world, and the reason why he does not send a large army to capture Jingzhou now is completely because he does not want the people of Jingzhou to suffer from the war."

"If the general abandons the darkness and turns to the light at this time, and kills Liu Bei together with the Jingzhou clan, it will be a great achievement in the future, and the general's family will soar into the sky from then on."

"But if the general still keeps hesitating, as soon as my lord's army arrives, in an instant, this Jiangxia, this Xiangyang, and this Jingzhou will disappear between heaven and earth like that flying ash, and the stakes are clearer than the general's than mine."

The words of the caravan leader were full of deep temptation, and they also filled Huang Zu with a deep sense of crisis.

In fact, how could he not know what was at stake? How could he not know about Xi Yu's strength?

It can be said that as long as everyone in the world has no enmity with Xi Yu now, which one doesn't want to go to him, and which one doesn't want to get a name from the dragon's minister.

But unfortunately, Liu Bei has been staring at himself at the moment, so that he doesn't dare to make any moves at all, plus even if he wants to go to Xiyu, he has no way to run.

As a result, he has been staying in this small place until now, unable to move.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Zu finally made up his mind and nodded and looked at the caravan leader.

"Thanks to the drama duke, I am willing to take the drama male horse as the first to look forward!"

After swearing an oath, Huang Zuyou looked at the caravan leader as if he had thought of something.

"Although I am willing to be loyal to the drama father, but"

However, before he could finish his sentence, the leader of the caravan reached out to stop him.

"What the general thinks, we know for ourselves, the general just needs to contact the family that the general trusts, and the rest of the things will be arranged by the public."

What Huang Zu thinks is nothing more than being afraid of his own family, and he has no way to fight against Liu Bei.

But hearing what the caravan leader said, Huang Zu's heart was also reassured at this moment, and he hurriedly summoned people to prepare to contact the various families.

Huang Zu knew that this drama could not have only contacted his own family, and this Jingzhou family drama must have contacted seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Now that the situation is clear, it is a sure thing that Jingzhou will fall into the hands of Xi Yu.

As long as the brain is not stupid, everyone knows how to do this kind of thing.

Now everyone is fighting for a major merit, and winning is the big head of a reward for merit and deeds when the time comes!

And now he can be said to have taken advantage of the geographical advantage, since this is the case, then he will not be polite to win this first credit.

After sending countless secret letters to various places, Huang Zu also wrote a letter to Guo Jia,

In this letter, Huang Zu not only reported the situation of this operation to Guo Jia, but also a proof of his surrender.

Prove your loyalty to Xi Yu,

As a result, the caravan leader didn't even look at the secret letter handed over by Huang Zu, and arched his hand at Huang Zu, and left directly.

"When the general acts in the future, if there is any need for it, he can be notified by secret letter, and the lord's army can arrive at any time."

When the caravan leader left, Huang Zu was soaked with sweat all over his body.

If necessary, the Xigong army can come at any time? What does that mean? Does this mean that Xigong's army is only outside Jingzhou at the moment and can enter Jingzhou at any time?

Thinking of this, Huang Zu couldn't help but tremble all over, and then took out a pen and paper to write a letter to Pang Degong.

It seems that this folk rumor is not a lie, this drama is really the most benevolent and righteous person in the world,

Just when Huang Zu wrote a letter to Pang Degong,

At the same time, among the Cai family, the Cai family was welcoming the caravan sent by Guo Jia to the Cai family with the highest specifications.

Since the patriarch of the Cai family, Cai Mao, was killed by Liu Bei, the rest of Cai Zhong Cai and He are all mediocre people, and they can't support a Cai family at all, plus Liu Bei is constantly suppressed,

This has led to the Cai family, which was originally the first family in Xiangyang, but now it is also slowly declining, and its power is now even inferior to the other three families in Xiangyang City, which were once trampled under the feet of the Cai family.

But even so, the Cai brothers have never forgotten the revenge of killing their brother at the beginning, and now this is just because of Liu Bei's suppression, forced to hibernate, if there is a chance, the Cai family will definitely strike without any hesitation, and tear off a piece of meat on Liu Bei's body.

And when the caravan sent by Guo Jia arrived at Cai's mansion, the Cai brothers immediately saw the opportunity to bite Liu Bei.

Coupled with the countless gold and silver gifts carried by the caravan, the Cai brothers were determined to unite with Xi Yu.

Therefore, the caravan leader did not spend much time this time, but he got the promise of the Cai brothers,

"Please also report back to the drama father, my Cai family will definitely take the drama gong as the head in the future, and we will now contact the major families in Jingzhou, and we will definitely work with the drama to kill the big-eared thief!"

Nodding slightly, Cai He continued:

"That's right, Liu Bei, a thief who is benevolent and righteous on the surface, actually has a hidden evil intention behind his back, and he actually wants to kill Liu Gongzi to seize Jingzhou, he is actually the number one thief in the world!"

Don't look at Cai He's angry face now, but in fact, whether Liu Qi lives or dies has nothing to do with them.

mentioned Liu Qi, it was just to find a reasonable excuse for their actions, and the main purpose was to kill Liu Bei.

"Good! The two are really people who understand the great righteousness, and their actions will be reported to the Lord after I go. ”

Nodding slightly, the caravan leader and the Cai brothers began to discuss the details of their actions.

Regarding the action, the Cai brothers were very obedient, saying that as long as Guo Jia gave an order, whether it was on the knife mountain or the sea of fire, they would go without hesitation.

Seeing this, the leader of the caravan nodded and told the Cai brothers about the method that Guo Jia had given him.

Listening to the caravan leader's narration, the Cai brothers were also enthusiastic, but unlike the Cai brothers,

After all, Zhang Mao is the one who leads the troops, and he still has some knowledge of the gap in strength between their major families and Liu Bei.

Moreover, for Zhang Fei Guan Yu's combat effectiveness, he Zhang Mao is also really clear,

After thinking for a while, Zhang Mao slowly said to the caravan leader:

"Your envoy, forgive me for talking too much, although this big-eared thief is hateful, but he also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and it has been some time to occupy all parts of Jingzhou, and he is also rich in the name of virtue among the people of Jingzhou, and his subordinate Zhang Fei Guan Yu has good combat power."

"Even if this is my practice of several major families, I'm afraid it is not his opponent Liu Bei, so I don't know what strategy the drama can have?"

Hearing what Zhang Mao said, Cai Zhongcai and the two of them also remembered the fear that Zhang Fei dominated at that time, and they trembled unconsciously for a while.

After all, Zhang Fei's hacking of Cai Mao to death with a knife put too much pressure on the Cai brothers' hearts, so much so that they trembled just when they mentioned him.

Seeing the appearance of the Cai brothers, the caravan leader smiled slightly and said:

"You don't have to panic, now I am not satisfied with you, just when we are discussing this matter, the army of benevolence and righteousness under my lord has been stationed in Huangpi and can enter Jingzhou at any time."

"If you really can't drive the big-eared thief away at that time, you only need to write a secret letter to Huangpi, and in an instant, my army will be pressed in with overwhelming momentum, and then the monarchs are still afraid of capturing Liu Bei?"

Hearing what the caravan leader said, everyone in the Cai family also nodded with a smile as if they had eaten a reassuring pill.

"Okay, well, then we will just wait for the arrival of the army of benevolence and righteousness of the drama prince, and then the people of the Xiangyang Shi clan will be the pot pulp to welcome the king."

After everyone finished discussing, Cai Zhong sent a secret letter to the rest of the family to join Xi Yu to kill the big-eared thief together.

And like Huang Zu, he wrote a secret letter to Guo Jia.

After the caravan leader left, Cai Zhong Cai He still felt a little inappropriate in his heart, and after discussion, Cai He set off and personally went to the outside of Xiangyang City to find Pang Degong. (End of chapter)
