Chapter 133 Yuan Yameni lets the tiger out of the cage

Cai Zhenji gave back a set of glazed "tangrams", or "seven puzzles".

Inside the kit are five isosceles triangles of different sizes, one square, and one parallelogram. The patterns they can be combined with are ever-changing, very suitable for entertaining yourself in your spare time.

At this time, colored glaze was rare and extremely valuable, and it was even more valuable than gold.

Jinhua comes from a wealthy family and still has good eyesight. She was flattered by such an expensive gift in return.

Moreover, strictly speaking in terms of seniority, Cai Zhenji is considered Ma Chao’s elder.

It is impossible to refuse, so you can only express your attitude.

"The elders gave it to me, but I dare not refuse it! Such a great gift, Jinhua is ashamed to receive it."

As he spoke, he knelt down.

Cai Zhenji immediately glanced at Ma Chao, "Your little wife looks very old-fashioned?

How could Ma Chao, who had followed his eldest sister through life and death in the battle for the county town for a long time, not understand what the other party meant?

He immediately supported his wife and said with a big smile: "Jinhua, we are all friends for a lifetime. Don't waste time on the courtesy. Enjoy it secretly if the courtesy is important. Don't complain if the courtesy is insignificant."

"I..."

Just as Jin Hua was about to argue, Cai Zhenji waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about it, Xiaochao, my family has bought a new house for you, and our brothers are looking forward to your coming back for a wedding banquet. When will it be done?"

Ma Chao asked blankly: "I just came back and I'm here, how can I know? I have to ask the alchemist and heavenly master about this, right?"

Cai Zhenji patted her forehead. Everyone was inexperienced. She remembered that the only one with a high status in Shangjun who could be considered an elder was Yongzhou Mu Lu Bu.

"Then you first go to the Prefecture Mufu, meet Lu Zhiguan, and ask him casually. He is familiar with his sleeves and bags. You two ask Lan Datou for leave and help your elder brother."

Matthew Ma Dai, a "repealer" for many years, was originally meant to cooperate with his eldest sister. It doesn't matter if Lingyun Castle has these two.

Ma Dai asked with concern: "Sister, how about you stop enduring this and go back to the city together? It will be so fun!"

Cai Zhenji shook her head and said: "No, I have to show it to my brother-in-law and sister this time. The women of the Cai family are not inferior to the men! But I will be present at the banquet."

Ma Chao nodded and said: "You are ambitious! This alone is better than many men. Okay, I will take them both away first. If you need anything, just send someone to say something."

"Go!"

Hearing that the two ponies were going to help Ma Chao organize the wedding, Lan Dong readily let them go and promised to attend on time on the wedding day.

Ma Chao and his entourage came to see Lu Bu, just as Lu Bu was visiting.

When he heard that the younger generation of the Ma family had arrived, Lu Bu laughed and said, "What a coincidence. It's just the right time for Uncle Zhi to see my Yongzhou Thousand Mile Horse."

The visitor is Lu Bu's old colleague, Bingzhou Weimeng is engaged in publicity, and the two have always been on good terms.

Three horses and one gold went to the hall and met two elders.

Zhang Yang asked for help from others, so he naturally praised him greatly, which made Lu Bu's face glow.

"Haha, it's true that Shoucheng has a successor, but Uncle Zhi doesn't need to praise him too much, lest the younger generation will be proud and complacent!"

When Ma Chao made his intention clear, Lu Bu did his part and took over everything.

"I will let people make proper arrangements. Meng Qi can just be the groom's official with peace of mind. Come on."

The housekeeper of the Lu family came forward and followed the instructions to take the four people to Ma Chao's new home to implement the wedding arrangements one by one.

As soon as he left the prefectural pastoral office, Ma Xiu asked his brother privately: "Why did you come to Shangjun when you were working in Bingzhou?"

Ma Chao thought for a while and probably had some guesses. It involved military affairs and he couldn't clarify it for the time being, so he just dealt with it casually.

Ma Chao was right.

When I was engaged in publicity in Bingzhou, I often sighed when I saw that Lu Bu, who was almost the same as before, had risen through the ranks and became the prefectural pastor within a few years.

A few days ago, Zhang Yang's wife Liu couldn't help but said: "What's the point of sighing and sighing? A man should act accordingly. If Lu Fengxian can surrender to King Wu, so can your husband."

Zhang Yang felt sad in his heart, he was just doing a job, he was so different from Zhi Jinwu, there was no one in the middle to talk to him, what a waste!

Besides, Zhi Jinwu is rich all over the world and has the power to overwhelm the Taifu and the generals, but he is extremely poor, so what should he invest in?

Mrs. Zhang nodded her husband's elm head: "Yongyouji plus Yanmen, sooner or later Bingzhou will be in Jinwu's pocket. Why not be beautiful as a man?"

Hey!

One word wakes up the dreamer.

Zhang Yang immediately picked up his old wife and gave her a deep kiss.

That night, Zhang Yang wrote a secret letter, informing Lu Bu that he had something important to discuss, and sent his servant Ding Ji to the county overnight.

Today, he visited directly and said frankly: I want to have a taste of being the governor of the north and ask my old friends to send troops to help.

Since Lu Bu followed the Big Ear Bandits and was promoted from the Cavalry Captain to the Border Official, he has seen too many dirty political transactions.

If the lord hadn't set foot in the Eastern Capital and conquered Dongying and Xianbei, Bingzhou would have definitely fallen into his own hands.

Now that he has Zhang Yang, the difficulty is at least reduced by half, and his heart is moved.

In all the major plans before, he has always been in a supporting role, with no meritorious achievements. Although he became the shepherd of Yongzhou, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was a reward from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu conquered the east and west with great achievements, but he didn't become a state shepherd. How can you, Lu Bu, be embarrassed?

Now, here's your chance to prove yourself!

At this time, Yu Gong sent troops to Taiyuan to help Zhang Yang quell the chaos.

In private, make up for the strategic safety zone between Yongyou and prevent anyone from Bingzhou from interfering with the plan to conquer Xianbei.

No one can fault this reason.

With the troops under Lu Bu's command, it is not difficult to defeat the Bingzhou army, not to mention the internal support of Zhang Yang, who is in charge of the Bingzhou military.

The two quickly reached an agreement, and Zhang Yang would first create riots in Xihe and Taiyuan and ask for help from Shangjun.

After receiving the news, Lu Bu sent troops from the border between the two states, first taking Hexi and then going to Taiyuan, hoping to support Zhang Yang in power.

At the same time, Zhang Yang admitted frankly that he was willing to pledge his allegiance to Liu Bei in the territory of Bingzhou in the north, and was even willing to lobby the powerful factions of the Shangdang Party. Lu Bu had an extra boost and readily agreed.

After the negotiation was settled, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to Taiyuan that day.

The great success is just around the corner, so hard work is a waste!

At the same time, Lu Bu wrote a letter and forwarded it to Liu Bei through Liu Neng, hoping to suppress the unfavorable changes in the court.

Liu Neng thinks there is no problem and is happy to see the results.

Taking over Bingzhou was a strategy that had been planned for a long time. Now Lu Bu boasts that he can handle it himself, which saves him a lot of trouble.

In order to ensure Lu Zhang's success, Liu Neng selectively handed over the Bingzhou intelligence collected in recent years to the other party.

After seeing the clear and organized intelligence on Bingzhou, as well as the accurate map, where every wooden bridge in every village was marked, Lu Bu felt deeply how terrifying the Jin Yiwei was.

Of course, I am more confident.

To the north, you can move down with one drum.

Just as the Yongzhou clique was plotting, Sun Jian had already packed up Wu County and turned his attention to the surrounding areas.

Wu County has Guangling to the north, Danyang to the west, and Kuaiji to the south. They are all famous and wealthy towns.

Of course, Kuaiji involves the vital interests of many big bosses, and no matter how fierce the Jiangnan tiger is, it will not dare to touch it lightly.

Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, was an upright man and a famous scholar in Xuzhou, and was highly valued by Tao Qian, the governor of the state.

Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, had an upright temperament. He not only refused Yuan Shu's solicitation, but also repeatedly discussed the prodigal's misdeeds.

Yuan Yameni regarded it as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Therefore, Sun Jian, who learned about this situation, reported to Jiujiang on the pretext of a dispute between the people on the border between the two counties.

Yuan Shu was worried that he had no chance to vent his anger, so he immediately ordered Sun Jian to severely punish Danyang and be sure to cut the culprit into pieces with a thousand knives.

Ever since Sun Erluzi formed an alliance with the Zhou family, he knew that killing would do more harm than good.

What's more, Zhou Xin has a good reputation among the people of Danyang. Once he is killed by him, there will be endless consequences in the future.

Just when he was wondering how to deal with it, he heard his son and Zhou Yu arguing in the backyard. With the mentality of giving it a try, Sun Jian found two juniors.
