The Rise of the Three Kingdoms from the Ten Changshi Rebellion

Chapter 254 Destiny
Sun Ce did not stand still, and immediately sent generals Huang Gai and Zhu Huang to attack Jiang Xia.Huang Zi and grandson took revenge and killed their father, unable to surrender, so they defended Jiang Xia, but in the end they were alone, and Huang Gai broke through Silin's head.Huang Zi was shot by Zhu Huang with an arrow.

Obviously, everyone is playing with the timeline, using the imperial decree to stop going.After that, the imperial court appointed anyone as the governor, but the governor's office may still not be in Xiangyang.

In other words, although the imperial court owned Jingzhou in name, in fact the entire Jingzhou had been divided up by Zhang Luba and others.As for the governor appointed by the imperial court, I am afraid that he is also an anonymous owner.

Recently, Cai Hao got old and finally became the Marshal of Chu State.As a result, he suddenly discovered that he was being threatened because he was not sitting in a fiery position.

Liu Bei invaded the four counties of Jinan.The Liu family's shameless slogan is even more shameless: "In the north and the west, Zhang Luba and Sun Ce are serving the country. In order to prevent the heroes from competing for the throne and misusing loyal ministers, we can only go south to destroy Cai Yuanyu."

It can be said to be nonsense, but Cai Wei wanted to get angry, but he couldn't.When he accurately led the Jinzhou elite to the south to attack the weak Liu Bei.

But now Jiangxi is occupied by Sun Ce, and Zhang She led his troops to the border of Xianyang. Now it can be said that Jianglin, which is guarding Liupan, is still under control!
Now Cai Hao must discuss with the Kuai brothers to kill Zhang Shejun in Xiangyang, wait for the arrival of Jianglin reinforcements to drive Zhang She away, and then slowly fight the enemy troops in Jiangxi and Shanyin, and finally find the right focus?Or do you need to go south to Jianglin to escape?Or just find a new owner to join?
If the fight fails, Cai Wei and the Kuisi brothers checked the treasury before the fight. They need to know how much money is left before they can decide whether to fight.

At first glance, Cai Hao's breath, which had been entrenched in his heart for a long time, was finally about to linger in his heart.

Without him, it was only because the entire treasury was empty, so empty that both Cai Yuan and the Kuai brothers felt like crying.

"Is Jinzhou still noisy? How could he be like this?" Cai Hao finally didn't stop, but shouted loudly.

The noisy streets and the dazzling array of goods, are they really fake?Such a prosperous Jinzhou, why hasn't it brought taxes to Jingzhou for so many years?

"Dagui...you forgot the products of Yanzhou Chang'an..." Kui Yang, who was beside Cai Tao, coughed lightly and pressed on Cai Tao.

Cai Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that almost 90% of the products on the market were imported from Chang'an and Yangzhou.There are hardly any local products, even if there are local dishes.

It doesn't matter what you say, because if there are shops, of course there are taxes.However, the operators of these shops were all founded by the Kai family or the Wo family, or families attached to the two families.

It should be noted that the soldiers in Jingzhou are all in the hands of the Cai family, and the tax collectors are in the hands of the Kuai family.How can the stores still be taxed if the two companies work together?
The commercial tax revenue did not come in, and of course the agricultural tax was not absent.It's just that the old weapons that come from all over Jinzhou every year need to be replaced.In addition, there is no steel factory in Jingzhou, so in order not to suffer, Cai Hao can only stand by Zhang Luba.Import advanced steel weapons to arm your soldiers.

Of course, some fires in the process are inevitable.If not, why did Cai Hao take the initiative to change the weapons and armor of the soldiers? !! In this way, the agricultural tax is almost spent, and the rest is almost enough for some basic expenses in Liu Biao Palace.

A large amount of income and taxes fell into the hands of the Cai and Kuai families through smuggling and tax evasion.Both families gained a lot of weight.As for whether Liu Biao would cry, Cai Hao actually didn't care.

You can say that I didn't know the pain of not having money until I became a host.But the question is, can Cai Hao get the tax that has been stolen for many years?Or let those who took refuge, and even the Ques family around them spit it out?

Now that the state of Chu is in a state of life and death, Cai Hao must gather all the forces that can be gathered, at least with the support of so many families, even if he joins a new master, he will not stay out of the matter.

So, of course, their money is non-refundable.

In fact, it was obvious that Cai Hao had no intention of resisting from the very beginning, and surrender was still his first choice.The second choice is to weigh whether to immediately resist and get more, or to give up and get more after a little resistance.

But there is no need to worry now, because with the current state of the Jinzhou warehouse, it is estimated that these old men will not be able to get their military pay next month.When they run into trouble, their own political capital hardly ever disappears.

"I said, ,, are you saying that we will live better with this new owner?" Turning around, Cai Hao's original ambition of life and death was turned 180 degrees at this point.

"Uh...Leave Liu Bei's conjecture first, and then consider the grandson and the court. Choose one! Kui Liang thought about it and said he was willing.

"Why not Zhang Luba?" Politically, Cai Wei thought it would be better to hide in Zhang Luba.Eventually, he and the Quick brothers changed a few years ago from a family of landowners to a family of merchants.

"Because the military adviser Zhang Lubu looks like a cloud, I wait for people in their 50s, lest they ignore me. Deji, you expect to disappear from the political arena like this, and you can feel at ease when you are a magistrate." "You can't Is this how you want to spend your life?" Kui Liang

"No! Absolutely not! Other things are negotiable, but absolutely impossible!!!" Cai Hao immediately shook his head and shouted.

"Although Sun Tzu got Jiaozhou in Yangzhou, these two states are sparsely populated and there are not many Han people. It is inevitable that there are four major families of Zhang, Gu, Zhu, and Lu. Sun Tzu needs to promote other counties to compete. So I wait for the shelter , he certainly welcomes;

As for the court, it is much simpler.Best chance, of course - I stay in Jingzhou to listen to him, worst - stay on top of the palace, or become the county guard in the area.Soon after the imperial court withdrew from Yizhou, a large number of foreign scholars were also needed to check and balance them.I'm waiting for asylum, where's our share? "I have to say, Kuailiang is very thorough.

"Then should I take refuge in Sun Ce or go to court? Cai Hao asked anxiously.

"Court! Now the court is Queen Mother Ian, she needs more support. As long as it is a bargaining chip, we have the bottom line;
On the contrary, when I hide in Sun Ce, I may be thrown into Yangzhou or Jiazhou.But you can also stay in Jingzhou as a vanguard to resist the invasion of Zhang She and the imperial army.

As for Brother Yu's opinion, rather than pinning his future on an uncertain lord, he prefers to completely control his own destiny! Kuailiang said, his eyes still had a trace of anger in the end.

"What Ji Xing said is a coincidence. I'll write to the court right away!" Cai Yao only gave Kuilian a little, and she already understood the key.

"It's getting late, let's go!" Kuailiang said lightly, and then said goodbye.

Cai Hao came out of the vault and found his sister without saying a word.Anyway, Mrs. Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and agreed to Cai Hao with tears in her eyes.

So Cai Hao went to King Chu's office without saying a word, wrote a letter of surrender, and then stamped King Chu's seal.He also called a Thai family trustee who sent her to Xiangyong.

The letter first reached Lu Bu.He suspected that Cai Hao had surrendered, so he handed it over to Jia Xu for verification.

"This letter is very likely to be true! Cai Hao is still far from mature, and his enterprising spirit has long since disappeared. He wants to exchange for better surrender terms." Jia Xu looked at the letter and handed the fish to the fish with a smile .

"Then take this letter to Chang'an Court and let them decide for themselves!" Now that Jia Xu has made such a decision, Lu Bu must have confirmed the authenticity of the contents of this letter.
