Xiangyang, Caifu.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger!
The snowflakes as big as goose feathers are flying, adding a bit of romantic atmosphere to this cold night.

Cai Hao was half lying on the couch, one hand was inserted into the bottom of the skirt along the slender legs of the beautiful maid beside her.On the side, another beautiful maid fetched warm wine from the pot and carefully sent it out.

When Zhang Yun arrived, Cai Mao was joking with the beautiful maidservant.

The hall is brightly lit, exuding a charming atmosphere.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help laughing.He shook the snowflakes on his body, took off his cloak, and threw it to a maidservant who came forward, and said with a smile: "Degui is very leisurely, but I am so tired that I came here in such a heavy snow. I don't know what to do." What's up?"

Cai Mao turned over and sat up, and waved his hand to signal the beautiful servant girl to step back.

He asked the maid who warmed the wine to give Zhang Yunman a title, and then said in a deep voice: "Little sister, the action has already begun."

"Oh?"

Zhang Yun put away his smile, and after taking a sip of wine, he asked seemingly casually: "Then what did Kong Ming say?"

"What is Kong Ming's claim? I'm afraid he wants to discuss it with Liu Xuande."

Cai Mao said: "He left Xiangyang yesterday, and he must have arrived in Xinye now...but he is a smart man. I don't know why he made such a muddled choice. At the beginning, my younger sister wanted him to come, but he refused. Now it is even more so. It's a pity that Liu Xuande is the leader. However, if Liu Xuande sincerely seeks refuge, it might be a good thing. In this way, the young master's position will be more stable.

It is estimated that there will be news in one or two days.

But I don't know what choice Liu Xuande will make. "

Zhang Yun smiled slightly, "Why is this so difficult? Let Madam ask the lord to send someone to invite Liu Xuande to test it out.

If Liu Xuande still refuses to make a statement, in my opinion, this person cannot stay, and he should be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. "

"Are you in a hurry?"

Zhang Yun sneered, "Don't worry, if Liu Xuande is still hesitant, it may be very difficult to get things done.

Instead of this, it would be better to start earlier.Could it be possible to put Xinye in his hands in the future and let the young master raise a fierce tiger in front of his door? "

He glanced at the beautiful maid who was warming the wine, and Cai Mao immediately understood.

Smiling, Cai Mao said: "Don't worry, since you keep her, she will be reliable."

"De Gui, Liu Xuande, you are also a hero!" Zhang Yun lowered his voice and said softly: "This man has great ambitions, is also an emperor's uncle, and has signed a belt edict, and his reputation is far away. You see, he is honest now, that is us Suppressed. But even so, there are still many people who are attracted to him... In the future, let him assist the young master, will he obey our orders? Don't raise a tiger to cause trouble, it will lead to a catastrophe sooner or later."

Cai Mao, nodded and fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Liu Bei is indeed a troublesome person.

However, he is good at fighting and brave, and his subordinates are related to strong generals such as Zhang, and even Xun Youruo advises him.It might be difficult to move him.What the younger sister meant was to appease him first, and then slowly figure it out...by step, to weaken his vigor.After he has no military power in his hands, it is not too late to start.By the way, it seems that Liu Xuande still has no heirs, so I am going to make a marriage promise to make him feel at ease, how about it? "

Zhang Yun thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

He asked: "Has Degui chosen someone else?"

"Yicheng Xianglang has a pretty girl.

That old guy has always been aloof and out of gregarious, and even slandered you and me a few times, I have long been impatient with him.I want my younger sister to come forward and marry her daughter to Liu Bei.Hehe, with that old man's disposition, how can he agree?At that time, they will definitely oppose it, and they can also take the opportunity to make things difficult for Liu Xuande. "

Xiang Lang, with a huge character, was an official worshiped by Lin Juchang.

Zhang Yun couldn't help showing a pity look, "Miss Xiang is indeed beautiful, and Liu Xuande has been taken advantage of for nothing."

Cai Mao sneered, "When Liu Xuande dies, who will take advantage of it? I don't know yet."

While talking, he and Mr. Zhang Yun burst into laughter.

Zhang Yun, on the other hand, looked in agreement, nodding repeatedly...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
At the same time, in a mansion in Huyang, Jia Xu was reading the letter and sneered.

"Jia Taizhong, why are you laughing?"

Wei Yan flicked the charcoal fire in the fire pond, and looked at Jia Xu suspiciously.

Today's Wei Yan has long since lost the abjection he had when he was in Nine Girls City.It has been nine years since he defected to Cao Cao. Although he is not considered to have made great achievements, he has indeed made many achievements.Because of his meritorious service, he is the Captain of Qi, the Chief of Huyang, and the Colonel of Gabishui, so he can be regarded as the only town.Jia Xu has been staying in Huyang for the past year, so Wei Yan and Jia Xu seem to be very affectionate.He knew how powerful this guy was.When Jia Xu assisted Zhang Xiu in Wancheng back then, he gave people a feeling of inscrutable.

At the same time, he is a highly respected counselor by Cao Peng.

Wei Yan may not be convinced by Jia Xu, but he respects Cao Peng very much.

Not only was Cao Peng defected to Cao Cao with him back then, nor was it because Cao Peng was Cao Cao's nephew.It's because of what Cao Peng has done over the years.One after another, one by one, Wei Yan had to sigh, young hero.

Now, Deng Ji is the prefect of Dongjun County.

The one-armed disciple from back then has become a member of the party.

Not to mention Cao Ji, the official worshiped the governor of Liangzhou, and was in charge of one side.Wei Yan sometimes regretted that if he had not stayed in Runan back then, but had stayed with the Cao family, his current status would probably not be worse than it is now.Those who followed Cao Peng in the past were all outstanding.Gan Ning, the eunuch; Bu Zhi, the eunuch; Pang Tong; the eunuch... even Xia Houlan became the captain of the commanding army.

It's not that Wei Yan is having a bad time right now.

It's just that compared with Gan Ning and others, Wei Yan is not dazzling enough.

Because of this, Wei Yan has been in constant contact with the Cao family in recent years.Even if Cao Peng was sentenced to Xingyang for three years, Wei Yan still sent people to visit him and gave him a lot of gifts.He knew that Cao Peng would rise again sooner or later!This point can be seen from Gan Ning's appointment as the prefect of Huainan County.Maintaining a friendly relationship with Cao Peng will undoubtedly be of great benefit to Wei Yan, so why not do it?

Jia Xu chuckled, "It's nothing... How do you say it in the words of that little devil? Yes, it's just waiting to see a good show."

Wei Yan looked confused.

In fact, Jia Xu has been paying attention to Liu Bei's situation.

After a period of time, he bribed the Cai family through various channels.

The man's name was Cai He, and he was Cai Mao's clan brother.Originally, Cai He was not taken seriously at home, and to put it bluntly, he was just a libertine.

This person has a clogged nature and owes a huge debt.

Jia Xu ordered people to get close to Cai He, and through Cai He, persuaded Mrs. Cai to win over Liu Bei.

This is a dead end.

If Liu Bei is willing to support Liu Cong, he will definitely turn against Liu Qi and the old Shanyang Ministry; if Liu Bei rejects Mrs. Cai's kindness, it will make Mrs. Cai hate him even more.In that case, the Jingxiang family will inevitably intensify their efforts to attack Liu Bei.This is a two-choice topic, and Jia Xu is absolutely impossible, leaving Liu Bei with a third choice.Now, he just wants to see how Liu Bei decides.

Even if Liu Bei chooses Liu Cong in the end, don't worry...

The Jingxiang family is an extremely xenophobic group.Whether Liu Bei can integrate into it is still unknown, even if he does, I am afraid that he will have to pay a huge price.Moreover, will the Jingxiang family really accept Liu Bei?Based on Jia Xu's understanding of those people, the possibility is unlikely.

After all, he has lived in Nanyang for many years.

I have dealt with Liu Biao and his gang more than once.

Since coming to Nanyang, Jia Xu has kept a low profile and never left his hands. Instead, he observed silently and managed the business carefully.

It's time to get started!

A good strategy is better than thousands of troops.

Under the current situation, if Liu Bei couldn't make a choice, he might not spend too much time in Jingzhou.

Therefore, no matter who Liu Bei chooses, he will offend another group of people.The Jingxiang family is not easy to deal with, and the old tribe of Shanyang is also not easy to deal with.

It's just that Jia Xu won't tell anyone about these things.

He decided to continue observing.

Zhuge Liang?
Jia Xu didn't take it to heart.

What he was really worried about was actually Xun Chen.

That guy is definitely a great enemy... Whether his plan can be successful depends on how Xun Chen can advise Liu Bei.

Jia Xu couldn't help but sneered coldly.

However, Wei Yan couldn't help but shrink back.

Ah Fu said, this guy is a poisonous man.

Just by looking at his smile, one can tell that in his heart, he is thinking of some evil idea to harm others.This guy can't be offended, and the main thing is to make friends.

"By the way, I plan to send Hele to Xingyang in two days.

The end of the new year is approaching, Ah Fushang is suffering in Xingyang, every time I think of it, I always feel sad... I asked someone to pick some local specialties in Wuyin and send them away. Will Taizhong return them to Xudu?Or do you need to send a letter back?It happened to be on the way. I don't know what the Taizhong's plan is? "

After Guandu, Jia Xu paid homage to the Taizhong doctor.

"Master Wen, don't worry about that little guy."

Jia Xu snorted coldly, "That little guy is smarter than anyone else, and he can make troubles better than anyone else. Do you think he will suffer in Xingyang? Look at the lucky papers he tossed out, almost killing the big families in Yingchuan and Heluo areas. Even if the lord doesn't take care of him, which one of these big clans will make it difficult for him? I heard that the kid is very happy now! There are so many beautiful wives and concubines, and they are happy and happy.

On the contrary, we are here and have a more difficult life than him. "

As he spoke, Jia Xu spat softly.

It's not that he has a problem with Cao Peng, it's just that he's used to it, and he can't see Cao Peng living a happy life.

Back then, because of Cao Peng's words, Cao Cao was so tired that he stared at Jia Xu.He wants to keep a low profile, even if he doesn't want to attract people's attention, he wants to run around and work hard.

Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Nanyang, had a fiery temper, which made Jia Xu overwhelmed.

Hiding in Huyang, he has to work hard and rack his brains to monitor Liu Bei in Jingzhou... He couldn't deal with Liu Bei, but he was extremely effective in suppressing Liu Bei's development.Even if Liu Bei occupied the three counties of Xinye, he could not grow further.Among them, there is a lot of Jia Xu's hard work.If it weren't for him, he ordered people to secretly provoke in Jingzhou, so that Liu Bei would always be squeezed out on the edge.Otherwise, with Liu Bei's affinity and reputation, it is very likely that he will gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and it will inevitably lead to catastrophe.

Cao Cao, all his energy was concentrated in the north, and he had no time to look south.

What Jia Xu has to do is to buy time for Cao Cao and suppress Liu Bei's growth.

Wei Yan chuckled and didn't say any more.

But in my mind, I was thinking, what kind of gift should I give?
Is it heavier?

Or express your heart?
He Le, whose real name is Fu Xun, and He Le is his character.

This person is from the same hometown as Wei Yan, both from Yiyang.In the sixth year of Jian'an, Wei Yan returned to Nanyang, Tunza Huyang County, and once went home.

The so-called homecoming is roughly the same.

Unexpectedly, I met Fu Shen in Yiyang.

At that time, Fu Xun's situation was a bit miserable. He killed a local gentry and was thrown into prison, ready to be executed.Seeing Fu Xun, Wei Yan seemed to see himself back then.So, he spent money to forgive Fu Xun, and brought Fu Xun from Yiyang County to Huyang...

What is the relationship between Jia Xu and Cao Peng?
Wei Yan is not interested in finding out!

He only knew that by following Cao Peng, he might be able to earn a bigger future.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
Ten years of Jian'an is about to pass.

Xingyang County ushered in a heavy snow...

When Cao Peng came back from the workshop, he saw lights and festoons in his house, and all the servants were smiling.

Today is the last day of Jian'an ten years.Every family begins to watch the year, preparing to celebrate New Year's Eve and welcome the arrival of the new year.

This winter snow will also be the last snow!
After today, the earth will rejuvenate and all things will recover, and it will usher in a good year.

Mrs. Zhang took Guo Huan to inspect the courtyard and gave orders from time to time for people to tidy up and tidy up.The door plaque on the door frame is hung with red silk and satin, which is more eye-catching and festive against the backdrop of the white snow.Outside the mansion, on both sides of the path leading to Tianzhuangkou, there are also red silk tied.From a distance, red and white are distinct, which is pleasing to the eye.

Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen were resting in the house.

It's not that the two of them are lazy, but...

The two are pregnant again!
Bu Luan and Zhen Mi accompanied the second daughter, teasing the child on the kang.

And Deng Ai and Cai Di accompanied Cao Wan and Cao Yang to watch the snow on the porch...

Today's dinner is shabu-shabu!
Cao Nan ordered someone to bring Deng Juye and his wife from Xudu, so that they would not be alone.She and Mrs. Hong were in the kitchen, directing the servants to make dumplings, talking and smiling from time to time, which made Cao's mansion even more angry.

"When will brother-in-law come back?"

Cao Peng changed his clothes and asked questioningly.

Cao Nan laughed and said, "I sent someone over earlier, saying that they would stay in Chuilong City for a day.

It is estimated that he is already on the road at this time, and he must be able to arrive before dark.What, are you hungry?Then eat something first. "

Cao Peng immediately ran in, picked up a plate of marinated beef, and ran away before Cao Nan could speak.

Cao Nan scolded with a smile: "It's outrageous to be like a child at such an age."

But Mrs. Hong said: "Ah Fu is open-minded, he is a lucky person! Big bear and tiger head don't have such blessings, and they don't want to start a family until now. However, when Ah Fu came back, there was a lot of excitement immediately. .In the past two years, when he was not at home, it was really deserted."

"Yes!"

In Cao Nan's eyes, a flash of longing flashed.

It's nice to have a man in the house.

I don't know how long the uncle and grandson can stay when they come back this time?If it doesn't work, I will go to Puyang with him to take up the post next year.Ah Fu is back now, and her mother is back to normal.When the time comes, let Guo Yu stay. I heard that she is also pregnant and is recuperating at home.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

"Is the uncle and grandson back?"

Cao Nan was overjoyed and ran to the gate...
