"His Royal Highness Shu King, His Royal Highness King Shu!" The discussion in Jingzhou was finally over, and Liu Mang also left happily. His goal has been achieved, and now Liu Bei has been paid for the expedition to Yuzhou, and there is an extra group of coolies, why? Just when Liu Mang was about to get into the carriage, a man in military uniform rushed out, bowed and thanked Liu Mang.
Liu Mang took a closer look and saw that this was General Zhang Guizhang who was miserable in the meeting hall just now. After that, Liu Mang and Liu Biao talked about the old days, and Zhang Gui had changed for a while. It's time to put on clothes. In the meeting hall just now, there was dust on his face and blood on his body, so he was much more energetic after cleaning up.
"General Zhang Gui!" Liu Mang saw clearly that the visitor was smiling at him.
"His Royal Highness Shu King, His Royal Highness King Shu! Thank you so much! Gui, Gui, I can't repay you!" Zhang Gui bowed to Liu Mang over there. Liu Mang had helped the Zhang family a lot. The Zhang family lost Fancheng. If Fancheng cannot be taken down, then the Zhang family is completely finished. If Fancheng is taken down, it also depends on the mood of the lord Liu Biao. If Liu Biao is in a good mood, then the Zhang family will follow. If you are in a good mood, you may reward Fancheng to the Zhang family again, but if Liu Biao is in a bad mood, then the Zhang family will still be ruined. Although there is the eldest brother Cai's family, it is always not good to live under the fence! But Liu Wei gave the Zhang family hope. This time, the name of the general is an opportunity for the Zhang family. If it is done well, then the Zhang family will definitely be able to turn around. If Fancheng is taken, the Zhang family can be regarded as a general. The meritorious atonement has been made. As for money and so on, will Liu Biao still be stingy with rewards? At first, Zhang Gui never thought that he would be the general this time.
When Liu Biao asked, Zhang Gui's face was gloomy, because he knew that even with his elder brother and his eldest brother Cai Junshi, he would not be able to impress the lord Liu Biao. He recommended himself against all opinions. He Zhang Gui thought that he met Liu Mang, King of Shu, by chance.
"Why do you need to talk too much! We are all our own people!" Liu Mang smiled vaguely at Zhang Gui.
"One of my own?!" Zhang Gui's elder brother Zhang Yun followed closely behind Zhang Gui.
"General Zhang Yun!" Liu Mang also greeted Zhang Yun when he saw Zhang Yun.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Zhang Yun also bowed back, but Zhang Yun was stunned by Liu Mang's call of his own people. When Zhang Family and Yangzhou became their own people, Zhang Yun naturally made up his mind if he couldn't figure it out. Let's get up, since the Zhang family and Liu Wei have not become their own people, then go up one level, that is, the boss Cai's family and Yangzhou Liu Wei have become their own people, so they are their own people!
People can't think too much, and if they think too much, things will easily happen. It's not like Zhang Yun thought too much, and immediately nodded his head to recognize Liu Mang's words.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Liu Mang said to Brother Zhang Yun with a smile.
"His Royal Highness, King of Shu, I don't know if I can show you face!" Zhang Gui was grateful and disrespectful to Liu Mang, and since ancient times, the Chinese tradition has been to talk about feelings at the wine table.
"I'm afraid I don't have time today!" Prime Minister Liu Mang refused without even thinking about it.
"This, this, why?!" Zhang Gui was a little confused. He just said that he was his own, and he didn't even want to give him a face here. Is this still called his own
"It's not that you don't give the two of you face, but someone has already hosted a banquet at night!" Liu Mang smiled and pointed to the two people who came behind the Zhang family brothers. One was Kuai Yue and the other was Cai Hao. Liu Biao has already agreed on the delivery of the first batch of grain and grass.
This came out a little late.
"Military division family?!" The Zhang family brothers understood that the boss had to give face, but then the Zhang family brothers laughed, because they can also participate in the boss's banquet.
"If that's the case, we brothers won't bother His Highness the King of Shu!" The two brothers were very knowledgeable and left soon.
Liu Mang didn't wait for Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, and directly asked the groom to take him away. There will be a banquet in the evening, so let's go back to rest earlier, Liu Mang still has a lot of things to plan.
As soon as Liu Mang got off the carriage and entered the mansion, Jia Xu Jia Wen and the old fox ran out.
"My lord, my lord, Lord Wenhou's troops have arrived in Xinye!" Jia Xu came out and reported to Liu Manghui.
"Father-in-law's troops have arrived?!" Liu Mang froze for a moment, this speed is fast enough.
"Who is the commander?!" Liu Mang wanted to know who the commander-in-chief of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry was, because this involved the issue of Liu Mang's selection of commanders after that. Attacking Fancheng, even if it was within Jingzhou, but believe this Lord Liu Biao in Jingzhou would not let him leave either. Jingzhou formed an alliance with him because he was a hostage in Jingzhou.
So Liu Mang had to choose a coach from among his vanguards. Liu Mang originally planned to be Zhang Liao, but after thinking about it, forget it. The talent Zhang Liao and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry slowly established a good relationship. The current Xiliang Iron Cavalry But only Zhang Liao obeyed. If it was changed again, the Xiliang iron cavalry would have objections, and with Zhang Liao being so handsome, Liu Mang in Yangzhou would be more at ease.
After that, the name of Wei Yan used to linger in Liu Mang's mind, but Liu Mang still vetoed it without hesitation, because Wei Yan was still not familiar with him, and Wei Yan and Liu Mang only knew that he was rebellious and martial arts. Not bad, but it has not been seen that he has the slightest commanding ability. Don't lose in the first battle, it will be over. The battle of Fancheng can only win but not lose.
Next is Zhao Yun. Liu Wei also saw Zhao Yun's ability. This time Zhao Yun was sent to Fancheng to perform the task perfectly. Now Zhao Yun is no longer the original Zhao Yun. Now Zhao Yun is not only learning how to be a general Yes, I'm still learning how to be a commander. Liu Mang already has a general idea for this battle. As long as he fights along, he will surely win if there are no accidents. Therefore, Zhao Yun was prepared by Liu Mang to be the commander this time.
"My lord, this time Lord Wenhou came here in person!" Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe stepped forward and said to Liu Mang.
"What!" Liu Mang was also stunned, did Lu Bu come here in person? He doesn't sit in Lujiang, he came here to join in the fun, this battle of Fancheng can't eliminate Liu Bei, he can only fight Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and at most half of his Xiliang iron cavalry will be left here, if Liu Bei really wants to escape , It's really hard to chase.
"Master Wen Hou said that he came to kill Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!" Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe told Liu Mang exactly what Lu Bu had said.
"The one who killed Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?!" Liu Mang also smiled wryly. Could this cheap father-in-law be able to play? Instead of going to Lujiang and Yangzhou, he ran to this new field to do it. Liu Daer.
It seems that this resentment is deep, and the sequelae of the cheap father-in-law that Liu Bei gave himself back then are still there, too! Although it was said back then that Lu Bu was the one who occupied Nestle, but anyway, Lu Bu spared Liu Bei's life and sent out several of his wives respectfully, and gave Liu Bei a little life. It can be said that he has done his best But Liu Bei is still not willing to cooperate with Lao Cao to play a game of inward and outward cooperation. If it weren't for Liu Wei's son-in-law, the extra knife on the Baimen tower would belong to Lu's father-in-law.
That’s not enough, you said I robbed your Xuzhou, you just want to take it back again, this Liu Bei’s haunted spirit is haunting again, after being kicked out of Xuzhou by Lao Cao, he actually came to Yuzhou, after all, he is a troubled brother, go To trouble Lao Cao, this Liu Bei and Liu Daer are good, as if he has taken a fancy to Lu Bu in Yangzhou, he just wants to trouble Lu Bu, and he also teamed up with Zhang Xiu and Sun Ce to play the three alliances. You said that Lu Bu has such a violent temper. Hearing that he was going to trouble Liu Bei, who would come if he didn't come!
"Okay, okay! Seriously, I'll lose!" Liu Wei helplessly raised his hand to admit defeat, and now there is no need to fight for the position of coach, this really belongs to his cheap father-in-law . Even if Liu Mang went to give orders, he still had to listen to what his father-in-law had to say.
In fact, Liu Mang didn't know that Lu Bu was on fire when Liu Mang came to Jingzhou. It was obvious that he was going to be a hostage.
"Then my lord, our plan?!" Jia Xu's plan must be obeyed, and it is obvious that Liu Mang listened to Lu Bu.
"Send it to my father-in-law! As for whether to listen or not, it's up to him!" Liu Mang also has no choice but to fight once this time to expend it. After all, the decisive battle with Liu Bei will still be in Yuzhou, Nanyang County There is nothing for Liu Bei, and if Liu Mang's army fights Liu Bei in Nanyang County, it will be Liu Biao in Jingzhou. After all, with Nanyang County, Yangzhou must pass through the land of Yuzhou or Jingzhou The Yangtze River, a divided territory is like a chicken rib, it's a pity to eat it and discard it. Liu Mang's attack is an attitude, and he wants Liu Biao to stop holding back.
If this cheap father-in-law really fights to the death, the fun will be really great.
"We must tell my father-in-law our plan!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu, but he was so frustrated that he gave up his head, "Forget it, forget it!" Come, let Zhang Liao come with the Xiliang iron cavalry. But there is no medicine for regret in the world, Liu Mang can only eat this bitter fruit.
"Bathe and change clothes with me, there are things to do in the evening!" Liu Mang also remembered the dinner at night, and asked the maid to bathe and update for him.
…
"Come, come! Your Highness, King of Shu, although Zhang Gui is my subordinate, he is actually his younger brother. Your Highness, King of Shu, you helped Mao recommend Zhang Gui in front of the lord. Mao is so happy. As if it were me, come, come, come and offer another toast to His Royal Highness the King of Shu!"
At the dinner table, Cai Mao's influence on Liu Mang has changed a lot. The original Cai Mao was a kind of disgust to Liu Mang, indeed it was a kind of disgust. I just don't catch a cold, because Liu Mang's series of behaviors seem to Cai Mao to be a reckless man, since when did it start! It started when Liu Mang killed the gentry in the city of Zhuo. The group of gentry Cai Hao also knew that the enemy was the enemy of Jingzhou and the gentry in Jiangdong, but the gentry is the gentry. You can kill one or two people. The gentry were all massacred, what is this.
Isn't this against the gentry! Cai Mao is also a gentry, and even more of a great gentry and aristocratic family, so it is natural that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.
After that, Liu Mang even played some recruiting order, okay! You have already annoyed Cai Mao by killing the gentry before you. This is not following the unspoken rules of troubled times. You must know that many aristocratic families bet on several people at the same time, so as to ensure the prosperity of the gentry, even if the investment fails Well, that's nothing more than killing one lineage, and Liu Mang is just cutting grass and roots.
That's not to mention, once the recruitment order came out, it was simply provoking the tradition of the gentry for thousands of years. The reason why the gentry has always been a gentry is because he has the inspection system, he has a filial piety, and now Liu Mang is recruiting talents. Ling completely broke this unspoken rule, allowing the children of poor families to rely on virtuous talents to serve as officials, the superiority of the gentry will be gone, and the long-term rule of the gentry will be gone. From then on, he had an inexplicable hostility towards Liu Mang.
And the cooperation with Liu Mang later came from his sister, and Kuai Yue didn't know how to get in touch with this kid, otherwise Cai Mao would never get in touch with Liu Mang, and this His Royal Highness Shu Wang is not bad. This time the Zhang family lost Fancheng, it can be said that they have no right to speak in front of Liu Biao. Originally, Cai Hao planned to support Liu Biao in a better mood before interceding with the Zhang family. After all, the Zhang family and the Cai family are also The in-law relationship is a loyal younger brother, as a big brother, you can't watch your younger brother degenerate.
How do you know that Cai Hao hasn't made a move yet? The King of Shu, Liu Mang, has helped the Zhang family and dragged the Zhang family from hell to heaven. The leader of this expedition will not be at fault no matter what , because the main force is the Yangzhou Army, the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou Army has never lost to the Yuzhou Army! Even if he loses, it has nothing to do with him. After all, the coach is the Yangzhou Army!
"Junshi Cai, you are being polite!" Liu Mang drank it down without refusing.
"Okay, okay, okay! His Royal Highness the King of Shu is huge!" Zhang Gui shouted at Liu Mangchen who was on the side. Liu Mang had already drunk for several rounds, but he was not drunk at all.
Isn't this nonsense? Liu Mang came from this world, and at least he has experienced the invasion of the modern liquor of 40 to 50 degrees. These rice wines are naturally not distilled.
"His Royal Highness, I would like to ask, what is going on with the three armies in Jingzhou?!" Cai Mao asked after the banquet.
"Three armies of Jingzhou!" Liu Mang was drinking, he was not interested in the drinks of the Three Kingdoms, but he was very interested in the dance music in this banquet.
"His Royal Highness Shu likes it? How about taking it back tonight? Which one does His Royal Highness Shu like? Tell me Cai Mao, and let him accompany you with His Royal Highness at night!" Cai Mao is very generous, among these big aristocratic families Isn't it just that these maidservants have been cultivated since childhood, and when the guests come, they are served like dishes.
"No, no, no! You can only watch from a distance, you can only watch from a distance!" Liu Mang refused without even thinking about it, and there was already a shadow in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu hates it?!" Cai Mao was stunned for a moment. This is the best dancer in the Cai family. Cai Mao originally planned to bribe Cao Cao when Cao Cao came later, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu got there first. This is also because of the friendship with my little brother.
"His Royal Highness Shu, don't worry, these maidservants are virgins!" Cai Mao smiled and said to Liu Mang from the side. The ones that haven't been dealt with.
"No, it's not for this reason!" Liu Wei shook his head, joking, asking him to take two maidservants back, isn't it courting death? Originally, a barbarian princess was rejected by Liu Wei, so here are a few more maidservants, Liu Mang? alive.
"Junshi Cai's kindness is appreciated!" Liu Mang didn't know how to explain to Cai Mao whether there was a tiger at home.
Seeing Liu Mang's refusal again and again, Cai Mao didn't insist anymore.
"The three armies of Jingzhou!" Liu Mang thought for a while, and the gang of Xiangyang guards can't be counted on to attack the city. The defenders of Xiangyang and Jiangling should be similar, Liu Mang also drank a little too much, so he bluntly said, "What can those old men make them do! Go do coolies! "
"What!" Cai Mao slapped the table and stood up when Liu Mang said that. As soon as Liu Mang said this, he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. The general's face speaks.
"Junshi Cai, this king made a gaffe after drinking, he should punish himself with three cups!" Liu Mang didn't want to offend Cai Mao, after all, he still had to count on the Cai family's help, so he just wanted to cover it up with a gaffe after drinking without being pretentious.
"No, no, no!" Cai Mao shook his head, "His Royal Highness Shu, you are not making a slip of the tongue after drinking, you are speaking the truth after drinking!"
"It's a slip of the tongue after drinking!"
"It's drinking and telling the truth!"
"Gaffe!"
"Truth!" The two of them stared at each other stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, let's tell the truth after drinking!" Liu Mang was afraid of this Cai Mao and Cai Degui. He thought that his wine quality was not very good, but this Cai Mao could be better at least. .
"That's right!" Liu Mang originally thought that Cai Mao would be furious, but Liu Mang couldn't bear it if he said that his subordinates said that, if someone ran in front of Liu Mang and said that the city management army was rubbish If he said that the Black Chess Army is trash, Liu Mang would definitely argue with him with the sword in his hand.
However, Cai Mao's deeds made Liu Wei stunned, "It is enough to say that you have a brother!" This Cai Mao was also too drunk, and the brother called him.
Liu Mang really can't figure out what this Cai Mao is thinking now, what does it mean to have a brother, you are enough.
It took a long time for Liu Mang to realize that what Cai Mao wanted in his feelings was his own words. It turned out that the Xiangyang Guard of Jingzhou, as we all know, is the Uncle Army, and all the children of the gentry went to gild it. It is said to be a miasma, you let them gamble, they are good at brothels, and you let them fight wars, you are completely blind.
So this time, Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, sent the Xiangyang Guards to fight, and the parents of these old men were anxious. This war is going to kill people. Listening to Liu Biao's words, this was originally intended to be cannon fodder for the Yangzhou army, to attack the city , It will be piled up with human lives. Cai Mao, who has been a military adviser in Jingzhou for so many years, will not fail to understand.
Therefore, those gangsters must not be sent to the battlefield. If there is a problem, Cai Hao will not be annoyed to death. Those Jingzhou gentry are not so easy to talk to, and the Xiangyang Guard is going to dispatch the whole army. If another cannon fodder of the entire army is sacrificed, then Cai Mao, the Jingzhou military adviser, may also be the end.
That's why Cai Mao wanted to let those lords and gentry young masters all take sick leave and hide away. In this case, they can just run out after the war is over.
But suddenly Master Cai Mao, the military advisor of Jingzhou, discovered a serious problem, that is, once all these young masters were put back, the Xiangyang Guard would not be able to gather a thousand people, what a fart!
Among the 9,000 people, more than 3,000 were vacated, and more than 2,000 were either from this relative's family, or from that noble family's family, and there were servants who accompanied the son to study. These servants entered the army It is to serve their young master. If you say that the young master is gone, this group of servants will naturally not be there either. It can be said that the Xiangyang Guard is abolished.
You can't take the original 10,000 quota and use 1,000 people to perfuse it!
As for Cai Mao who wanted to use the Xiangyang navy to replace him at first, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't bear it, and that's why he asked the question before.
Liu Mang's distrust of the Xiangyang Guard is what Cai Mao wants. The Xiangyang Guard is trash and scum. Now Cai Mao wishes that Liu Mang would despise these young soldiers, so that he would not send these young men to attack the city. .
"Don't worry! Military Master Cai! I'll take this Xiangyang Guard out for you, and I will bring it back to you naturally. As for the one who fell ill and died, you can't blame me!" Liu Mang patted Cai Mao on the shoulder, and now he can say that he and Cai Mao They are half allies, anyway, they don't expect this group of Jingzhou soldiers to bring much help to this war, all they want is that these young soldiers can do coolies.
"This is natural, this is natural! Don't worry, His Royal Highness, I will tame those bastards before they leave. If they dare to disobey the military order, they will be killed!" Cai Mao also gave Liu Mang a promise, and the two Personally, it is equivalent to a transaction. Liu Wei will not let these young masters be cannon fodder, and what Cai Mao gave Liu Wei is the power of life and death, as long as someone is disobedient, kill them! One or two dead Cai Mao can still bear it. Besides, why not do it if you can gain military exploits by following them out.
"There will be no problem in this way!" This dinner feels right at home. r1152
