When Cai Yong saw Huangfu Song asking, he couldn't help but think of his daughters who were suffering in the city, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Since the amnesty, I have been wandering around. A few years ago, I made a marriage contract with the Taiyang family. Now I am sending my daughter to get married, but unexpectedly I am trapped in the city. Alas."
"How could such a coincidence happen? Since Shibo can come out of the city and join our army, it's really a lucky man."
"Oh, I came out, but my two daughters are still being held hostage by the thieves."
"Oh, are these thieves using your concubine as a threat to let Cai Yilang act as a lobbyist?"
Cai Yong looked troubled, thinking that Huangfu Song called me my original official position, which reminded me not to let down the court.
"Recently, there have been rumors in the city. It is said that after breaking the city, they will massacre the city, and then the heads of the people in the city will be used as a spectacle to deter other yellow scarf thieves from all over the world. At first, people's hearts were floating, but gradually they started to feel that they share the same hatred with the enemy. I wonder if this is true?"
Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong looked at each other and realized that this was just a conversation between the two of them while they were drunk. It was originally a drunken conversation that could not be taken seriously.
Yan Zhong understood that Huangfu Song suspected that he had leaked the news, so he said to Cai Yong: "Where did Cai Yilang hear this shocking statement? It must be a rumor."
Cai Yong couldn't decide for a while.
"I also heard about it from the yellow turban thieves in the city."
"That must be a rumor. It is probably that the Yellow Turban thieves deliberately spread rumors to encourage everyone to defend the city."
Cai Yong was speechless for a moment, then thought for a while and said: "Since this is not General Huangfu's original intention, it is for the best. I remember that when General Huangfu Gui was pacifying the Qiang people in Xiliang, he also used many tactics of appeasement, and the results were very good. Therefore, therefore,
…”
"What Cai Shibo said is absolutely true. My nephew has written it down."
"And if you are determined to massacre the city, the people in the city will definitely be of the same mind as the thieves, which will only inflate the thieves' arrogance. This time I was forced out of the city because I wanted to make a promise not to massacre the city."
Huangfusong couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw Cai Yong chattering.
"I receive the country's grace from above and save the people from below, so I will naturally act with caution. Don't worry about it, Cai Shibo."
Seeing this, Yan Zhong also helped: "General Huangfu has never thought about massacre of the city, so how can he promise to say it? Haha, Cai Yilang is overly worried."
Cai Yong saw that Huangfu Song was obviously impatient, so he was afraid that talking more would be useless.
"I heard that brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang are also in the army. They are quite famous now. I wonder if I can meet him?"
Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment and hurriedly led people away.
"Is Liu Guanzhang so famous? Even Cai Yilang wants to meet him in person?"
Huangfusong said doubtfully.
"It's probably Zhang Fei who stole the limelight, so it's not surprising that Cai Yilang heard about it. What Cai Yilang said about recruiting..."
Yan Zhong said tentatively.
"How can you take the words of rotten scholars seriously! In those days, my uncle did use many tactics of appeasement in the border areas, but the situation was different. The border areas were plagued by ringworm and scabies, and it was not easy to recruit troops in the border areas, so he came up with this strategy. But the Yellow Turban bandits were different. This was
I am a close friend of the Han Dynasty, especially the bandits Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao are in the city. How can I appease them?"
"Surrendering in a time of peace will only boost the thieves' morale, and they must be severely punished to alert future generations! I may have said it casually last time, but in order to frighten the thieves, I will really try this view this time!"
"What about Cai Yilang's explanation? Although Cai Yilang has not been in the court these years, he is still highly respected. If the general offends him..."
"It doesn't matter, Cai Yilang is only concerned about the safety of his children. All he needs to do is break down the city and rescue his family. How could he care about the lives of these thieves?"
Yan Zhong nodded in agreement.
"According to Yan Gong's opinion, when will the Jizhou Yellow Turbans be destroyed?"
"I already have a plan in mind to defeat the enemy. All we need is this..."
Huangfu Song couldn't help but be elated when he heard Yan Zhong's plan.
"If the plan of Lord Yan can wipe out this Jizhou Yellow Turban, then it should be remembered as the first achievement!"
Yan Zhong stared at Huangfu Song with burning eyes and said: "My reputation is like a floating cloud. The general defeated Bo Cai first and then Bu Ji. If the general defeats the three brothers Zhang Jiao this time, his name will be immortalized! It is not impossible to be crowned king.
Now that troubled times have arisen, the general must make plans early."
"Yan Gong must be careful, the Emperor Gaozu has long said that 'if the Liu family is not the king, the whole world will fight against it', how can we have such extravagant hopes! I, Huangfu Song, am just fulfilling my duty and wishing for peace in the world."
Yan Zhong smiled and said no more.
…
The sun is scorching hot and there is very little rain this year. Everything looks listless. The cicadas on the trees are all screaming feebly. The soldiers on patrol occasionally kick up clouds of dust when they pass by.
Zhang Fei sat in the shade of a tree, enjoying the coolness and thinking about his own thoughts.
After the eldest brother's talk therapy and the second brother's wine therapy, my mood gradually calmed down. Just like what the eldest brother said, in this troubled world, everyone has no control over their own actions. Brothers work together to take advantage of the troubled world to seal their wives and leave their names in history.
That's the business.
As for Gao Sheng, if he had been killed on the spot, he wouldn't have been very sad. I heard that a celebrity came to the Chinese army's tent. Huangfu Song never allowed us to participate in such things. If it was Lu Shangshu,
For the sake of eldest brother, there must be a place for us. I don’t know what happened to Lu Zhi and Lu Shangshu. That is a towering tree, and we brothers still hope to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
"Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, come out quickly to meet Cai Yilang."
Zhang Feiteng jumped up: "Straight bitch, you yell and scream every day. You can also call my eldest brother by his name."
When Liu Xuande heard Cai Yilang's words in the camp, he immediately jumped up and ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes.
When he arrived at the door, he saw several sergeants approaching an old man, and he hurriedly bowed down.
"But Cai Yilang in person?"
"Don't dare to take it seriously, don't dare to take it seriously. The old man is now a white man. Don't call him that again."
Liu Bei paid his respects again and said: "In the past, I and my master Lu Zhi were in Dongguan School to compile history. My master often praised Cai Yilang for his erudition and knowledge. I once specially told you that I would like to see you as a disciple, so please invite me."
Let me pay my respects to Liu Bei again."
Cai Yong had no choice but to accept this gift. Seeing Liu Bei being so polite to Cai Yong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also hurriedly came over to see the gift.
Several people returned to the camp tent and sat down in order.
"Shang Shu Lu unexpectedly has such a high disciple, and now your name has resounded throughout the Central Plains."
"I never expected that Cai Yilang would also know that I, Liu Bei, exist in this world. It is truly an honor for me."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other in silence.
Cai Yong noticed the change in the expressions of the two men and couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei a few more times. He said to Zhang Fei: "This Zhang Yishi is really majestic. I don't think I have ever seen such an appearance before..."
I suddenly woke up and realized that maybe I was used to seeing Zhou Yuanfu's black face, so I liked Zhang Fei, so I stopped talking.
"My appearance is considered to be one in a million, but your appearance, old man, is unique, haha."
Liu Bei shouted: "Third brother, please don't be rude and apologize to Cai Yilang as soon as possible."
Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "I didn't say he looked like a monkey, I just said he looked strange."
