Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"I don't want you to come here, anyway, you don't care about me as an elder brother, so just let me, a little sister who is loved by no one, be pissed off."

"Hey, I'm talking stupid again. Tell me, since I was a child, I didn't let you do anything, so why didn't I care about you?"

"Well, now I want you to marry an old woman in her 50s, and face her day and night, are you willing?"

Cai Yu's face was slightly thin, and she was born with charming eyes. She should look like a weak beauty, but when facing Cai Mao, she was not polite at all. She opened her mouth sharply, and Cai Mao, who was almost angry, spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Cai Mao felt a tightness in his chest, and it took him a while to calm down, and he said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this a generalization?"

"Why is it not the same? You want me to marry a bad old man, or to be a concubine. I heard that his eldest son is probably older than me. After a few years, the old man will die. How do you tell me to deal with myself? Huh, huh, the world There may not be a few brothers who are as cruel as you!"

Cai Yu's voice was a little soft, like a needle, poking Cai Mao's cheeks twitching.

However, Cai Hao knew that he was really sorry for his sister, so he could only patiently persuade him: "Little sister, I am your elder brother, how can I harm you, you only know that Liu Jingsheng is old, but you don't think he is a member of the Han family, When it comes to talent, learning, and fame, they are all first-class figures in the world."

Cai Yu curled his lips in disdain and said, "Clan of the Han Dynasty? Hehe, a few months ago, even today, people were bullying every day, so what can a so-called clan of the Han Dynasty do?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Cai Mao was taken aback, she really spoiled her sister in the past, she dared to say anything.

Seeing that Cai Mao was angry, Cai Yu stopped talking, but his expression was still stubborn, obviously he didn't regard the Han family clan as a rarity.

Cai Hao was very helpless, and he also knew that what Cai Yu said was reasonable, but in order to tie Liu Biao with his family completely, he could only continue to persuade: "Since Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor, all the heroes in the world have risen together. It can be concluded that the troubled times are approaching, although my Cai family has a great family and business, but in the troubled times, it is nothing more than a duckweed, if there is no big tree to rely on, it will be very difficult to preserve."

Seeing that Cai Mao moved out of his family, Cai Yu felt sore, and said, "Then why did you choose Liu Jingsheng?"

Cai Hao smiled and said: "Except for the land of Shu, Jingzhou is the largest in the world regardless of wealth and population. Now Jingzhou is in the hands of the state herdsmen. It only takes three years to recuperate and raise hundreds of thousands of troops. Who else in the world can compete with you?" State shepherds fight?"

Cai Mao's tone of voice was very confident towards Liu Biao, and it also revealed his slightest ambition.

Now the Xiangyang military respects him the most, but whether it is him personally or the development of the entire Cai family, it has reached a bottleneck. If he wants to go further, he can only hug Liu Biao's thick legs and fully support Liu Biao in running Jingzhou. To prevent Liu Biao from falling out in the future, the marriage of the two families is very necessary.

Cai Yu wiped the corners of her eyes. She knew all the twists and turns, and she also understood that since she grew up in Cai's family, she had no reason not to accept this marriage. But she was still sad, and said: "But Liu Jingsheng will At that age, I still want to be a concubine, you call me, call me, woo woo woo"

As he spoke, Cai Yu couldn't help crying again.

Cai Mao's heart was softened by her crying. After all, this is her own sister, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, being a concubine is only temporary. The state shepherd's wife, Mrs. Chen, has been unwell since she arrived in Jingzhou. A few days ago, the famous doctor Zhang Ji also diagnosed her. I can't do anything, according to the information I heard, I'm afraid she will die soon, as long as my little sister has been wronged for a while, she will be the second person in Jingzhou in the future, at that time, even if my brother sees you, I have to salute you, haha."

Cai Hao understood his own sister's preferences very well, and when he said these words, Cai Yu's crying was immediately quieted down, so he hit the rails while it was hot: "How about this, let's have a banquet another day, and I will let you meet Zhou Zhou in person. Mu Fengcai, if you still don't want to at that time, how about elder brother never embarrassing you again?"

Cai Yu's heart moved, and he said happily, "Brother, is it true?"

Cai Mao smiled slightly and said, "When did Brother Wei cheat you?"

Cai Mao was very confident, and was not worried at all that Cai Yu would not like Liu Biao, because the temptation of fame and fortune just now was for Cai Yu's favor.

The second is that although Liu Biao is a little older, he still looks dignified, and his demeanor is heart-wrenching. It is not comparable to ordinary people. At least Cai Mao has never seen a man who is better than Liu Biao. I am not afraid that my younger sister will look down on him.

While Cai Mao was coaxing his sister at home, Li Yi finally arrived outside Xiangyang City and was staring at Xiangyang City in a daze.

Originally, he thought that after Liu Biao's death Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao was the general trend, but when he saw Xiangyang City today, he felt that Jingzhou's civil and military forces were too timid. With this city alone, as long as there is enough food and grass, Cao Cao's years will not be exhausted. Difficult.

Fortunately, Xiangyang city wall is slightly inferior to Luoyang, but the nearly [-]-foot moat makes people feel a sense of "looking at the ocean and sighing".

Li Yi felt that if the development of black technology was not considered, even if 10,000+ lives were filled in such a mighty city, it might not be possible to win it.

This also strengthened Li Yi's strategic thinking of "peaceful evolution" of Jingzhou.

While Li Yi was thinking about something, he rode his horse across the bridge and called for someone under the city gate. Soon, a torch was lit on the top of the city, and Li Yi reported his name. It wasn't too unexpected, and there was no bloody drama to block him outside the city, and the goal was soon opened to welcome Li Yi in.

Originally, Li Yi's plan was to run all the way to the city with tears streaming down his face to see Liu Biao and beg him to send troops, but it's so late now, and if the performance was too deliberate, he would feel a little out of touch, so he had to follow the instructions of the little official. Under the guidance of the leader, he temporarily stayed in a courtyard in the city.

Although he was exhausted from the journey, Li Yi was worried that Liu Biao would send someone to harm him. He was half asleep and half awake the whole night, and woke up very early the next day. After washing up and having a simple breakfast, Li Yi was going to ask Liu Biao to see him, but was told by the concierge, Cai Mao came to visit.

Chapter 157 To set up an academy in Nanyang

Cai Mao, Li Yi thinks this is a person who is not easy to evaluate.

In Li Yi's impression, Cai Hao mainly did two major things in his life. The first was to vote for Cao Cao with Liu Biao's wealth, and the second was to use his own head to help Mei Zhoulang and his children make a countermeasure.

At first glance, Cai Mao seems to be a guy with no great prospects and no good luck. Overall, he belongs to the kind of guy who is rather sad.

However, after thinking about this person a little bit, Li Yi didn't dare to take it lightly.

Let’s talk about Cai Mao’s power first. Now the Cai family behind Cai Mao is the leading family in Jingzhou. In addition, he holds the military power. Cai Mao’s influence in Jingzhou may be second only to Liu Biao.

Then there is Cai Mao's talent. Liu Biao was able to quickly quell the internal thieves' chaos in Jingzhou.

Later, during the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu also felt jealous because of seeing Cai Mao's water camp, so he had a countermeasure.

Who is Zhou Gongjin in Jiangdong, who can make Zhou Yu jealous, and where is the difference?

If Cao Cao hadn't been confused for a while, with Cai Hao and Zhang Yun training sailors for Cao Cao, the outcome of the Battle of Chibi is really hard to say.

As for Cai Mao's character, taking Jingzhou to vote for Cao Cao is indeed relatively useless.

But looking at Liu Biao's performance in the last few years, it was a complete mess. Today Jingzhou will be given to Liu Bei, and tomorrow he will abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. When Cao Cao fought Yuan Shao, he didn't even have the courage to stab a knife in the back. Liu Biao How much heroism can his subordinates have if the master of this kind of ink marks is an example?

Therefore, Cai Mao may have some character problems, but in Li Yi's view, it is completely acceptable. Even, if the lord is strong enough to prevent Cai Hao from exerting too much power on the family, he is still a good candidate to guard one side.

While thinking about what to do in his mind, Li Yi walked quickly to the corridor, and saw a man under 30 years old walking towards him. Although he was physically strong, he had a bit of a literati air, and he presumably was Cai Mao.

"This is Li Xianghou?"

Cai Hao first cupped his hands and spoke. When he saw Li Yi, Cai Hao felt a little surprised. According to the news from before, he knew that Li Yi was very young, but only after meeting him did Cai Hao know that the other party was younger than he thought. Much younger.

And Li Yi's temperament made him feel a little unusual, not bad, but simply different from anyone he had seen before.

Look at the string of titles on Li Yi's head again, General Zuo, County Marquis of Xiangxiang, Prefect of Nanyang

Inexplicably, Cai Mao couldn't help remembering that Liu Biao was boasting about the existence of heaven and earth in front of his sister last night. Now that he thinks about it, if he were at the same age, Liu Biao's comparison with Li Yi seemed nothing.

Although there were many distracting thoughts in his mind, they only passed away in a flash. Cai Mao walked up to Li Yi quickly, and looked at Li Yi with a smile in his eyes. Set up a knife and axe in Wengcheng to ambush Li Yi.

Li Yi also looked at Cai Mao, paused for a moment before returning the courtesy and said, "No, it is Li Yi, right in front of him is the military advisor. Sure enough, there are no men without merit under the prestigious name. I think the military advisor has the style of the former class guard!"

Cai Mao was very happy when he heard the words. After all, everyone likes to listen to good things, and at the same time, his mind changed sharply. Li Yi called him a military adviser.

Therefore, Cai Mao felt a little more relaxed. Before he came, he had worked hard, mainly because he was worried that Li Yi was too young and too sharp to get along with. Now it seems that he is also a knowledgeable person.

Cai Mao quickly waved his hands and said, "Such a compliment is absolutely unacceptable, especially in front of the Marquis Xiang, it will make Cai feel ashamed."

"Why is this?"

Li Yi looked at Cai Mao and blinked, seeming quite puzzled.
