Soldiers come to the world

In a small tavern outside the gate of Fancheng, Liu Jing and Zhao Yun found a vacant seat and sat down, and ordered some food and drink. Then Liu Jing asked, "When did the elder brother come back?"

"I just came back two days ago."

"The real person. Have you learned the truth?" Liu Jing asked hesitantly.

Zhao Yun was silent, and sighed for a while, with sadness in his eyes, "I was still a step late, Master left the day before I arrived, and I couldn't say a word to Master in the end, hey! This will be my lifelong regret. "

Liu Jing bit her lip and said in shame: "I didn't even go to see him off, it was a waste of his old man's painstaking efforts to teach me."

"Thinking about it, Master has cultivated to perfection, which is different from ordinary death. Since he knows that his time is approaching, it must be a result of his practice. I think Master should have attained the Tao."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is the last words left by my master, you are mentioned in it, let me urge you to learn martial arts, I hope you can become the pillar of the Han Dynasty. "

Liu Jing took the letter, read it silently, and returned the letter to Zhao Yun. He shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm afraid the pillar of the Han Dynasty has disappointed the old man."

Zhao Yun laughed, "Not necessarily, haven't you already taken the first step? You were promoted to Sima of Chaisang Biebu. When I saw you half a year ago, how could I have imagined that you rose so quickly? I thought, You won't have a chance until at least two or three years later, brother, you really didn't disappoint me!"

Liu Jing was a little embarrassed and said: "I made my brother laugh, but it was actually an opportunity. I happened to meet an opportunity and seized it, so I succeeded so quickly."

Zhao Yun nodded, "This is your greatest advantage. You are good at seizing opportunities. In Rangshan, I deeply realized that you will seize all opportunities that are beneficial to you, and even let me save you on the battlefield. In fact, it is you Take a fleeting opportunity."

The two were talking in a low voice. At this moment, the bartender brought the food and drink. Liu Jing poured a glass of wine for Zhao Yun and said with a smile, "I remember I said in Rangshan that I would invite you to drink. If I don't have this opportunity today, I will break my promise." gone."

"Really? I really forgot. It seems that there is such a thing. You made me drink the rainwater in the mud pit." Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two drank a glass of wine, at this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered something, he pondered for a while, and said to Liu Jing, "Do you know a man named Yang Sheng?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I've never heard of this name, what's the problem?"

Zhao Yun sighed, "This man is dead, if he lives, he will be your nightmare."

Liu Jing was startled, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Zhao Yun hesitated, "I don't know if I should say it or not, but I don't want to hide it from you, I should let you know the truth. This man named Yang Sheng is actually Cai Mao's aide."

'Cai Mao! '

A bad feeling suddenly surged in Liu Jing's heart, and he stared at Zhao Yun solemnly, waiting for his answer.

"Two days ago, there was an unfavorable rumor in Xiangfan area, saying that you are not the nephew of Zhou Mu, but a spy sent by Cao Cao. Maybe Cai Mao had an idea and sent this Yang Sheng to Gaoping, your hometown, to investigate. I don't know. How could the lord know about this matter? He immediately ordered me to intercept and kill this Yang Sheng. Just last night, the brothers we sent stopped this Yang Sheng in the south of Xinye County and killed him. The matter is very hidden, only me and the lord know."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun sighed, "I shouldn't have told you, but I know this matter is very important to you, as long as you understand it in your heart."

Liu Jing was shocked. On the one hand, it was Cai Mao who secretly sent someone to investigate him, which caught him by surprise, but in the end Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to intercept him, which made him feel relieved. But how could Liu Bei think that Cai Mao would send someone to investigate him? ,besides. ． ． ．Does Liu Bei know that he is a fake Liu Biao's nephew?

He stared at Zhao Yun in puzzlement. He knew that Zhao Yun knew his bottom line. Could it be that Zhao Yun told Liu Bei?

Zhao Yun shook his head, "Don't look at me like this, you haven't told anyone about your matter, there must be other strange things in it, I don't know, but I want to remind you, Yang Sheng didn't return for several months, Cai Mao will inevitably be suspicious, brother, you have to have a firm mind about what to do, and you can't let this matter ruin you in the end."

Liu Jing nodded silently. He almost forgot about this incident, but he never thought that this incident was like a hibernating poisonous snake coiled around him. He didn't know when it would wake up and bite him hard. Things must be dealt with as soon as possible.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

After chatting with Zhao Yun for about half an hour, Liu Jing asked Zhao Yun to stay in Chaisang if he had time, and Zhao Yun readily agreed. At this time, seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yun bid farewell and left, but Liu Jing did not leave, and sat for a long time At the small table, he was still thinking about that poisonous snake thing, how should he deal with it?

In fact, what he is most worried about is not Cai Mao. Cai Mao should just guess. It is normal to send someone to investigate after hearing the rumor, which shows that the rumor has nothing to do with Cai Mao.

The key is Liu Bei, how could he guess that his identity is false?With Liu Bei's scheming, of course he would not expose it to Liu Biao. He would definitely hold this matter in his hands and force himself to submit at critical moments to seek the greatest benefit.

I don't know if Liu Bei has already succeeded, maybe he hasn't succeeded, otherwise he would not have sent Zhao Yun to intercept and kill that Yang Sheng, but after the intercept, he will definitely send someone to Gaoping County to find his own evidence.

That's why Zhao Yun reminded himself, don't take it lightly, no!You can't let Liu Bei take advantage of yourself, absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Liu Jing immediately asked for a pen and paper to write a note, and found Wang Tai who was waiting outside the tavern. Wang Tai bowed and saluted, "What do you want, my lord?"

Liu Jing slowly said to him: "Go to Gaoping County immediately and handle a big matter for me. This matter is related to my life, so you must not be careless."

Wang Tai solemnly said: "My lord, rest assured, Wang Tai will do his best."

Liu Jing handed him the note, "Go to Gaoping County, follow the instructions on my note, and never be merciless."

"Understandable!"

Wang Tai took the note, and Liu Jing instructed again: "Hurry up, I suspect that someone has already left, you must rush to finish the matter before the other person."

Wang Tai nodded, turned around and left, Liu Jing watched him ride away, thinking to himself: "I hope Wang Tai can be there before Liu Bei sends someone."

. . . . . . . . .

As night fell, Huang Zu hurriedly went to Cai Mao's study under the leadership of Huang Yi in Cai's mansion. Huang Zu was full of worries. I don't know how Cai Mao and Liu Biao talked today?

But Huang Zu really couldn't be optimistic. Just this afternoon, the state government officially issued an order to appoint Liu Jing as Sima of Chaisang's other department, and concurrently as Chaisangling.

What worried Huang Zu was that this appointment was announced after the talks between Liu Biao and Cai Mao, which meant that the talks between Cai Mao and Liu Biao were not successful. Such a close.

In the study, Cai Mao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, with a worried expression on his face. The negotiation between him and Liu Biao did not go well today.

Of course, he not only talked about Huang Zu, but also the marriage between Cai and Liu. The former, Liu Biao, had a tough attitude and refused to give in, while the latter, Liu Biao, had a tactful attitude and sincere words.

This made Cai Mao realize that Liu Biao's attitude towards the aristocratic family was not as tough as imagined, at least towards the Cai family, Liu Biao still focused on comforting the family.

"Father, Governor Huang has arrived." The eldest son Cai Yi's voice came from outside the door.

Cai Mao only felt a headache. Although he didn't know how to explain to Huang Zu, there were some things that he had to face.

The door opened, and Cai Yi walked in with Huang Qi

"Military teacher, what's the matter?" Huang Zu asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

Cai Hao waved his hand and said to his son Cai Yi: "You wait outside, don't let anyone in."

Cai Yi retreated, and Cai Mao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not good news, but it's not too bad either."

At this time, Huang Zu also calmed down. He sat down opposite Cai Mao, watched Cai Mao, and waited for his answer.

Huang Zu nodded, "I just want to ask you about this, is Liu Biao still unwilling to revoke Liu Jing's appointment?"

Things are not that simple, Cai Mao sighed and said: "He said that the appointment can be revoked, but his conditions are very harsh, you will not accept it."

"Military division, why don't you tell me?"

Huang Zu stared at Cai Mao, in his mind, Liu Jing's control of Chaisang was a very serious matter, as long as he could get Chaisang back, he would rather pay a heavy price, but he didn't know what kind of conditions Liu Biao would have.

A bitter smile appeared on Cai Mao's face, "Liu Biao's condition is that you be transferred to be the prefect of Anlu County, can you accept it?"

Huang Zu was stunned, then his eyes widened, he couldn't help standing up, and shouted sharply: "What kind of condition is this?"

Cai Mao quickly waved his hand, "Brother Wen Jin, please sit down, don't get angry, things are not that bad."

Huang Zu took a deep breath, "Let's tell the military division clearly! What agreement was reached in the end?"

"The final agreement is that you must come to Xiangyang every year to report on your duties. Jiangxia's civilian officials are appointed by the state government, and you must obey the orders of the state shepherd's army. Of course, you can appoint someone to command. In response to you, Liu Biao promised, Only at your request will the Jingzhou army enter Jiangxia."

"Then what is Liu Jing?" Huang Zu said angrily.

"Chai Sang is a special case. It no longer belongs to Jiangxia, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the state government."

"It means that the Jingzhou army can enter Chaisang?" Huang Zu understood what Cai Mao meant.

That's what Cai Mao silently meant.

After a pause, Cai Hao whispered again: "Actually, the key is the army. Brother Wen Jin, as long as the army is firmly in your hands, I think other conditions can be compromised."

Huang Zu was also a very practical person, and he took Cai Mao's opinion very seriously. In fact, when the prefectural government announced the appointment of Liu Jing in the afternoon, he knew that Chaisang was irretrievable.

However, it was not bad. After Liu Biao captured Chaisang, he did not make progress. He kept Huang Zu's core interests. In fact, he maintained the status quo. The key point was that the Jingzhou Army did not enter Jiangxia, which gave Huang Zu some comfort.

Huang Zu sighed, this ending is far from satisfactory, it can only be said to be barely acceptable.
