Soldiers come to the world

Cai He's face turned pale, he already vaguely felt that what he had done was wrong, but he didn't clearly realize that Cai Mao's words made him suddenly understand that his status was low, and going to Liu Biao would make this matter self-defeating , A great opportunity wasted.

He was terrified in his heart, fell to his knees with a plop, and pleaded guilty repeatedly, "Little brother is stupid, he broke a major event, please punish me!"

Cai Hao walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. The matter has come to an end, and it is useless to blame him. He sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "The Cai family shouldn't talk about this matter. Let other people talk about it. Liu Biao will feel guilty. Find us to appease, then I will discuss this matter with him in depth, and it will be effective, but if you rush to complain to him, you will not show the grievances suffered by the Cai family, and even make him disgusted, the last matter Let it go, Sixth Brother, what you are doing is unwise!"

Cai He was extremely ashamed, "My younger brother is extremely regretful, please punish me!"

"Punishment is fine. You just need to remember this lesson. Liu Jing used to be very scheming. Now that Jiang Xia has been around for two years, his scheming is even deeper. You must be extremely careful when dealing with him!"

Cai He nodded silently, "The elder brother teaches, and the younger brother will remember it in his heart."

At this time, the eldest son Cai Yi hurried into the room and said something to Cai Mao in a low voice, Cai Mao's eyes showed surprise, "Is it really him?"

"It's him, the boy went out to see it."

"Strange, why is he here now?"

Cai Mao didn't have time to think, and immediately told his eldest son, "Bring him to see me!"

Cai Yi left in a hurry, Cai He saw that his eldest brother had something confidential, so he saluted and slowly retreated.

Not long after, Cai Yi led a man in black, with a medium build and a strong physique, but he wore a big bamboo hat on his head, covering his face. He didn't take off the hat until he entered Cai Mao's study. The eldest son of the ancestor Huang She.

Huang She took two steps forward and knelt down, "Little nephew Huang She, meet Uncle Cai Shi!"

Cai Mao hurriedly helped him up, "Nephew, I finally have you here."

Cai Mao's words are not hypocritical, he and Huang Zu have been friends for many years, and Huang She studied in Xiangyang when he was young, and he often came to Cai's house, and they are very familiar with each other. After all, his rescue failed.

At this moment, Huang She finally appeared, which surprised Cai Mao. He quickly asked Huang She to sit down, and then told Cai Yi, "Go and serve tea!"

Huang She quickly waved his hand, "No need, it's best not to let outsiders know that I'm coming to Xiangyang."

Cai Mao was stunned, "Why?"

Huang She sighed, "It's hard to say, let my nephew speak slowly."

Cai Mao gave Cai Yi a wink, Cai Yi understood, and sat down beside him. After all, talking with elders and younger generations required Cai Yi's company, Huang She didn't care, he took out a letter from his arms , presented both hands to Cai Mao, "This is a letter from Prime Minister Cao to Uncle Shi!"

"what!"

Cai Mao and his son's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they looked at each other. Then they suddenly realized that Huang She did not hide in Jiangxia, but went to Xudu.

Cai Mao was nervous and looking forward to it. He slowly took the letter, opened it tremblingly, read it hastily, and suddenly felt ecstatic in his heart. Cao Cao made it very clear in the letter that he hoped that Cai Mao would inherit the legacy of his father and uncle Zhang Taiwei. Aspirations, the heart of the Han Dynasty, loyal to the emperor.

Of course, this is a euphemism. In fact, it is to ask Cai Mao to turn his allegiance to Cao Cao, so as to protect the family's prosperity and wealth for thousands of years. Cai Mao read this letter three times, and remembered every word of Cao Cao in his heart.

At the end of the letter, Cao Cao proposed that Cai Hao and Huang She work together to eradicate Jiangxia Liu Jing, which surprised Cai Hao. Did Cao Cao pay attention to Liu Jing?

At this time, Cai Yi couldn't help but asked: "I don't know if Brother Huang holds any position in Xu Duguan?"

Huang She smiled triumphantly, "You are a petty official, not worth mentioning, and I was named a Captain of Shuiwu by the prime minister."

"It's actually the captain!"

Cai Yi exclaimed, and a trace of jealousy that could not be concealed flashed in his eyes, Huang She was just a defeated general, Jiang Xia was completely lost, what virtue and ability did he have, and he was named a captain by Cao Cao.

Cai Hao's heart began to heat up, and he was so excited that he was restless. Even a person like Huang She can be named a school captain, so he is the military advisor of Jingzhou, the most powerful official under Liu Biao, and his status is many times higher than Huang She. Then don't you want to worship the position of Jiuqing?

Cai Mao secretly made up his mind. At this moment, his second uncle's advice had already been ignored by him.

Huang She didn't live in Cai's Mansion, he just arrived in Xiangyang today, and he still had a lot of things to do. After leaving Cai's Mansion, Huang She rode to the north of the city with two entourages. On a small street, they quickly Then I found a private house covering an area of ​​about seven or eight mu.

A follower went up and knocked on the door, the door opened a crack, the follower whispered a few words, the door opened, the follower turned back and said to Huang: "Young master, please come in!"

Huang She was very surprised. The next door to this private house was the mansion of Li Gui, the prefect of Xiangyang. He didn't expect that this was Cao Cao's base for collecting intelligence in Jingzhou. He couldn't help but looked at Li Gui's dark mansion, thinking to himself, "This Li Could it be that Gui also secretly surrendered to Cao Cao?"

Huang She didn't have time to think about it, so he walked into the gate quickly, and the gate creaked and closed again. Huang She went all the way to the back house, only to see a middle-aged scribe standing not far in front with a smile, "Mr. Hong, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Before leaving, Huang She learned that Jia Hong, Cao Jun's intelligence leader in Jingzhou, was one of Cao Cao's staff members. Mr. Jia, I have admired you for a long time."

Jia Hong chuckled, "Sir, please come in!"

The two walked into the room, Jia Hong invited Huang She to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and then said with a smile: "Yesterday, I received a newsletter from Xu Du, and learned that Mr. Huang is also working for the prime minister. It's a good thing! Mr. Huang's contacts in Jingzhou will be of great help to us, and I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

Huang She felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him talking about Mr. Huang without mentioning his official position. However, he also knew that Jia Hong had been in Jingzhou for many years and had a deep foundation. Huang She also hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Please give Mr. Jia some advice."

After exchanging pleasantries, they gradually turned to the topic. Huang She said cautiously: "I chatted with the prime minister, and I feel that the prime minister is very dissatisfied with Liu Jing. If we want to get rid of him quickly, let's discuss it! How to deal with Liu Jing."

Jia Hong laughed, a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in his eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable. The prime minister actually named him a school captain for such an ignorant person?

Jia Hongxin cursed secretly, and said lightly: "The prime minister is not dissatisfied with Liu Jing, on the contrary, the prime minister admires him quite a lot. Mr. Huang, you don't understand many things, you should follow my arrangement!"

Wangjiang Tavern is very famous in Xiangyang. In fact, it has not been open for a long time. It opened in the first year of Jian’an. In just eight years, it has become one of the three major taverns in Xiangfan. People have to admire this tavern for its good management. .

But what is strange is that almost no one knows who the proprietor of this tavern is. All entertainments are received by the chubby shopkeeper Wang. A little bit more, their proprietor's surname is Zhang, from Nanyang County.

This made many people suspect that the owner of Wangjiang Tavern was Zhang Ji, the prefect of Changsha, or the Zhang family, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

In the evening, when the hour of Hai was over, the drums of the Xiangyang City Gate were rumbling, and the number of guests in the Wangjiang Tavern was decreasing. The tavern was deserted, and only a few Fancheng drinkers on the second floor were left. The bartenders began to clear the tables. case, cleaning the store in preparation for closing.

At this moment, a large boat of [-] shi stopped slowly on the pier, and a few people came down from the bow. They had a clear goal and walked directly to Wangjiang Tavern. Is his entourage.

When they appeared at the entrance of the tavern, a bartender came up to greet them with a smile and said, "Sorry, the shop is about to close, and we will no longer accept alcoholic customers."

At this time, shopkeeper Wang, who was doing accounts in the shop, saw the young man at a glance, and was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out, he shouted: "No! No!"

He rushed out to greet him, "The shop is not closed, a few guests please come in!"

The bartenders were all very strange. It was clearly the shopkeeper's order to stop serving customers, so why did they go back on their word? Could it be that these people are some distinguished guests?

The bartenders all looked at the people at the same time, and saw that they were all dusty, obviously they had come from afar. The young man at the head was wearing a white brocade robe with embroidered edges and a flat crown on his head. Although he was well dressed, he was nothing Honorable people, the bartenders are well-informed, and almost all the dignitaries in Jingzhou know each other, but they have never seen this young man.

The young man smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, is there a private seat upstairs!"

"Yes! Yes! Young Master, please follow me."

The young man went up to the third floor with Shopkeeper Wang, and seeing no one around, Shopkeeper Wang asked in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Lu here?"

The young man smiled slightly, "I am sent to Jingzhou by the order of Marquis Wu, and I will learn about the situation in Jingzhou by the way."

This young man's name is Lu Ji, who was born in the famous Lu family in Eastern Wu. aunt.

Lu Ji has outstanding talent and learning, and has extensive acquaintances. The current official is Jiangdong Zou Cao, and this time he was sent to Jingzhou by Sun Quan's order.

As for the proprietor of Wangjiang Tavern, it is naturally not the Nanyang Zhang family, but the Jiangdong Sun family. Wangjiang Tavern is an information point of Jiangdong in Jingzhou.

As an old enemy of Jingzhou, Jiangdong has a lot of secret operations in Jingzhou. These secret operations are distributed in various parts of Jingzhou, collecting all kinds of information, and finally the information is collected in Wangjiang Tavern.

Shopkeeper Wang's real name is Wang Lin, and he is a member of Sun Quan's shogunate. Although he is not talented, he is slick and popular. It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan took a fancy to him, so he ordered him to open a tavern in Xiangyang and take charge of Jingzhou's fine work.

The two came to an empty room on the third floor, which was a warehouse, filled with tables and couches, and they sat by the window. Lu Ji smiled and asked, "Should Liu Jing be here? How is the situation in Xiangyang now?"
