"Thank you." Yang Hong cupped his fists slightly towards the guard before walking in.Even though his status was several ranks higher than these guards, there was no arrogance on his face.

Sitting in the study was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a dignified appearance, fair skin, and bright eyes.Seeing Yang Hong coming in, he was very cordial like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Yang Hong from Huainan sees the military adviser."

"No courtesy, no courtesy, please sit down quickly." The development of the Cai family relies on humility.Blind arrogance is the way to destruction.Cai Mao is not only a person in power, but also a wise man, and a humble and generous gentleman.

"My lord, Mr. Jiuwen, likes tea, so he specially ordered me to make a special trip to present a special kind of tea for the military master to taste."

"Oh, I don't know what kind of tea it is?" As he is in a high position, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas are completely out of his sight. On the contrary, tea drinking, calligraphy and painting can make him feel pleasing to the eye.

"It was picked by my lord at the top of Huangshan Mountain. It is about twenty catties a year. In addition to paying tribute to Duke Cao for ten catties, even we cronies can only enjoy it once during the festival. This time before coming here , My lord specially ordered me to bring five catties, dedicated to the military division, and wanted to make friends with the military division.”

Huangshan Maojian, although he has never heard of it, but what Cai Mao values ​​is not this, what he wants is face.Even Cao Cao, a hero of the generation, only weighed ten catties, but he got five catties at once. Such glory cannot be exchanged for such a treasure.

"Thank you, my lord, for me. I don't know what is the important thing for me to come to Xiangyang this time?"

Yang Hong smiled slightly: "Buy food!"

"Buy food?" Cai Mao suddenly smiled.Liu Biao is obedient to himself. In name, he is just a military adviser, but in reality he is the king of Jingzhou.

"That's right, I have a poor foundation in Jiujiang. I have experienced Yuan Shu's war before, and I am really short of food and clothing. My lord has tried everything, but unfortunately there is still no way. In the end, I can only let you go down to the four realms to buy food to tide over the difficulties. "

Cai Mao didn't make a sound, Jingzhou really didn't lack food.Even without using the power of the yamen, the Cai clan can easily take out 20 stones of food and grass.

But the key point, Cai Hao is very strange, why Yang Hong would come here to look far away, isn't Jiujiang farther away from Jiangdong?

"We have no shortage of food and grass, but I want to know why you came to Jingzhou."

As a messenger, what is most needed is to respond to all changes with the same.On the way here, Yang Hong has already thought out countermeasures for all possible situations. No matter what reason Cai Mao thinks of, he can respond to all changes with the same.

"The military master doesn't know that Sun Ce and my lord had an enmity. How can the enemy sell us food and grass when they meet. And even if we sell it, we dare not eat it."

"Chou, I don't know what kind of hatred it is?" Cai Mao's eyes flickered with suspicion, and he tapped his index finger on the table lightly, making a soft bang.

"Two tigers are in the same tank, and each side is regarded as an enemy."

Chapter 55

Sun Ce is the mighty overlord of Jiangdong, and Cao Anmin is the "Wanli Horse" who was born out of the Cao family. These two people appeared in the same place at the same time, with only one light.

The feudal lords are enemies mainly because of the desire for hegemony.But there is only one supreme throne, and everyone competes with each other, even if they are smashed to pieces, they will not hesitate.

In today's world, only two families have become feuds due to personal enmity.

One side is Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng, who sits in the nine counties of Jingxiang, and the other side is the little overlord Sun Ce who is called Marquis in the southeast.

At the beginning, Sun Jian, the father of Sun Ce, accidentally obtained the jade seal and the jade seal of the Chuanguo, thinking that it was his destiny, but he didn't expect that a piece of jade would lead to a murderous disaster.Yuan Shao failed to seize the imperial seal, so he informed Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, to send troops to stop Sun Jian, and the two families formed a grudge.Later Sun Jian led the Jiangdong people in a vain attempt to annex Hannan and restore the glory of Wu.General Liu Biao

Duke Lu set up an ambush on Mount Xian, shot and killed Sun Jian with random arrows, and the two families became feuds.

Cai Mao is Liu Biao's confidant, so he naturally considers Jingzhou's great cause.As the so-called enemy's enemy is one's friend, the land of Huainan needs someone to contain Sun Jian.

The sudden birth of Cao Anmin just gave him this opportunity.

"Since that's the case, how much food and grass does Mr. Anmin need?"

"This time I came here with [-] gold, and the military division only needs to sell it to me at the market price."

Jingzhou is a grain-producing area. In the Central Plains, grain costs ten thousand dollars a bucket, but it is really worthless here.Ten thousand gold is enough to buy 20 shi of grain and grass.

If it is purchased slowly from the private sector, it can even reach a ratio of 25 gold to [-].

"Although I have never met Mr. Anmin, I am willing to make friends with Mr. Anmin because of his sincerity. In this way, I will immediately start playing the general of Zhennan and give you a satisfactory answer, sir?"

"On behalf of my lord, I thank the military advisor."

After Yang Hong left, Cai Mao tasted Cao Anmin's Huangshan Maojian tea for a while, and it really was a rare good tea.Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.Since he has benefited, Cai Mao is not ambiguous.Take the invitation with you, get in the carriage, and drive quickly to the Zhennan General's Mansion.

Arriving outside the gate of the General's Mansion, Cai Mao's face was full of glory, and he rushed in without waiting for the notification.

"What's going on, this is the first time I've seen a military division with such an expression." One of the guards at the gate said.

"Maybe something good happened." Another person said solemnly.

Several guards looked at each other and then stopped making a sound.

After entering the General's Mansion, Cai Mao hurried to the study.

As Liu Biao's eldest brother-in-law, he could not be more familiar with the Zhennan General's Mansion, especially at this moment when he had an urgent matter, and he rushed into the study without waiting for the notification.

In the study, Liu Biao was reading a book when he suddenly raised his head, just in time to see Cai Mao who hurried in with a smile on his face.

"Degui is in such a hurry, but what's the good news?" Liu Biao asked, and from the other person's expression, he had already noticed that Cai Mao should have something good to tell him.

"My lord, this is a great thing!"

Liu Biao put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at Cai Mao.

Since Sun Ce continued to expand until he unified the six counties in Jiangdong, Jingzhou has had no good things for a long time.

"My lord, do you know who the prefect of Jiujiang County is?"

Cao Anmin is a deep-rooted writer, not to mention Hannan, even the distant Jiaozhou, Liaodong also has his name.

"Cao Anmin, Cao Cao's nephew. Didn't De Gui just say that not long ago?"

Cai Hao's face was slightly moved, and he continued: "Cao Anmin is sitting in Jiujiang, and he probably encountered difficulties. Therefore, he sent an envoy to Xiangyang, because he didn't dare to face the lord rashly, so he found my mansion just now, explained the reason, and Willing to form an alliance with us to deal with Sun Ce."

When Liu Biao heard this, his face was a bit worried.

He has heard this kind of words many times, and has been deceived many times.

In the early years, supporting Yan Baihu was to weaken Sun Ce, but he did not expect that Yan Baihu was destroyed in the first battle, and his efforts would be in vain.Later, at the suggestion of Kuai Che and others, I supported Zhang Xiu, but I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was ambitious and stubborn. Not only did he not obey his orders, but he also often had friction with himself, causing endless headaches.

Today, it is Cao Anmin, Cao Cao's nephew.

Cao Cao was originally a hero who coerced the emperor to make the princes, and forming an alliance with him was no less than seeking skin with a tiger.Is this kind of business possible?

"My lord's complexion is wrong, but are you worried?"

"One county in Jiujiang competes with the six counties and 81 states in Jiangdong. Is it too weak?"

When Cai Mao heard this, his heart was also full of sadness.

Time is really a butcher's knife.Thinking about how courageous my lord was at the beginning, holding the edict of the emperor, even with a knife and ax, he rode into Jingzhou alone without fear, and this is how he is today.

But now, as he grows older, his courage can be said to be indifferent.I wear hundreds of thousands of armor in Jingzhou, so I am afraid that that brat Sun Ce will fail.
