Cai Xi, a famous scholar in Xiangyang, had a lofty status among Xiangyang's scholars. His sister married Taiwei Zhang Wen, and after building a relationship with the court, the Cai family's power became even more glorious in Jingzhou. Cai Xi had two daughters.
One son, the eldest daughter married Huang Chengyan, a famous Jingxiang scholar from Caiming Broadcasting, the second daughter married Liu Biao as his second wife, and the third son was Cai Mao. The Cai family was involved in all aspects of Jingzhou, whether civil or military, official or civilian.
They are all related, which is why the officials in Jingzhou are constantly changing, but the Cai family has always remained standing.
Huangjiawan is Huang Chengyan's hometown, which is also the home of Cai Mao's eldest sister. Unfortunately, Cai Mao's eldest sister passed away after giving birth to a daughter for Huang Chengyan. Huang Chengyan and Xu Xian's wife have been living outside, leaving only
There were two old servants, a wet nurse, and Cai Mao's niece. Because of the death of their daughter, the Cai family and Huang Chengyan rarely interacted with each other. Gradually, Huangjiawan became almost a deserted place.
Although Cai Mao is not a good person, he is the only one who respects his eldest sister. Since his eldest sister died, he is the only one who sends people to bring things to his niece from time to time. Sometimes he also comes to see his niece in person and sees that his niece is smart and smart.
I am also happy for my eldest sister. Huang Chengyan named his daughter Huang Shuo and nicknamed Yueying.
Huang Yueying has had a strange appearance since she was a child. She has yellow hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and a pointed chin. Because of her strange appearance, Huang Yueying has covered her face with a veil all year round. Although her appearance is not good, she is extremely smart and can recite the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of three.
He began to study various schools of thought at the age of five, and by the age of ten he was familiar with the art of war. He knew astronomy and geography, and was resourceful. Now he is twenty-eight years old, but because no one cares about him, he has been living in Huangjiawan.
"Stop!" Seeing that Zhang Yun was about to attack, Cai Hao quickly drew his sword and held Zhang Yun's sword away. Zhang Yun wanted to attack again, but Cai Hao glared at him: "Don't be rude, this is my niece!" Zhang Yun was stunned.
.
Huang Yueying hurriedly saluted Cai Hao. Cai Hao helped him up, looked at the ugly man standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Who is he? Why are he here?"
Huang Yueying glanced at the man: "That man's name is Pang Tong, known as Feng Chu. It's been three days and he just won't leave!"
Looking at Huang Yueying's look, Cai Mao had already guessed about it, and he laughed: "Wolong and phoenix chicks can dominate the world. I didn't expect that phoenix chicks would be so honored."
Pang Tong looked at Cai Mao: "I was born with this face and cannot change it, but what I have learned in my mind is worth millions of soldiers. Is it possible that the world can judge people's strategies based on this skin?"
Zhang Yun smiled: "With your dignity, no matter where you stand, you can scare away the soldiers on the opposite side!"
Pang Tong didn't care: "It's better to scare someone away, it's better than surrendering after being scared!"
Zhang Yun immediately heard that he was sarcastic, his face darkened, and he raised the sword in his hand again. Cai Hao hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, we have business. Since Mr. Fengchu is here, let's go into the house together. We happen to ask for advice on something."
Pang Tong glanced at Huang Yueying and nodded hurriedly: "In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Cai Mao, being the elder, naturally sat at the main seat, with Zhang Yun and Pang Tong on the left, and Huang Yueying on the right. Cai Mao told Huang Yueying and Pang Tong how he surrendered to Long Fei, how he was granted the title of Situ, and how he made them resign and become prefects.
He said it again and finally said: "Zhang Yun and I felt a little strange along the way, but we couldn't figure it out. We came here to ask my niece for advice, and also asked Mr. Feng Chu to explain it."
"Needless to say, it's very obvious that Long Fei doubts you!" Pang Tong looked at Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and smiled coldly: "I'm afraid Zhuge Liang's plan of bitterness didn't work."
"This! What kind of cruel trick?" Zhang Yun's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that Pang Tong was right.
Cai Mao looked at Pang Tong: "May I ask, sir, if you have a way to crack it?"
"Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy!" Pang Tongtong drank the wine from his flask while looking at Cai Hao and Zhang Yun with a mocking look.
"Niece Xian, why don't you say a word?" Cai Hao looked at Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying shook her head slightly: "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's impossible to leave now. If Long Fei is just testing in Changsha, the two of you leaving Changsha without returning to Nanjun have proven others' judgment. If I guessed correctly,
The outside of Huangjiawan must have been surrounded by a large army."
"Ah! What should we do?" Zhang Yun was really anxious now: "Brother, let's go! The longer we stay here, the greater the danger. When people rush in, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"
"Hahaha..." bursts of laughter came from outside the door, and a familiar voice suddenly came: "Fengxiao, the scenery here is beautiful, and it will be a pleasure to live here when you grow old!"
Everyone hurriedly looked out the door. Long Fei was in front, followed closely by Guo Jia and Dian Wei. Outside the yard, there was silence except for the humming sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest. As the three of them walked, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the path.
. Arriving in front of the Huangfu Gate, Dian Wei raised his foot and kicked the chaimen into pieces. Several chickens and ducks in the yard ran around in fear.
"Ah! This, this, really, really came!" Zhang Yun sat down on the ground. Cai Hao also swallowed hurriedly. He knew that he couldn't run away, so he simply stopped running. After calming down, he walked out of the house.
, and waved to Long Fei: "I've seen the general!"
Long Fei pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Why is Master Cai here too? What's going on!"
Huang Yueying stood up hurriedly: "The little girl Huang Shuo pays homage to General Zhennan. I am Lord Cai's nephew, and this is my home. My uncle is just here to visit, but it is a bit strange for the general to come."
"Haha!" Long Fei glanced at Huang Yueying a few more times, then turned around and saw Pang Tong, saying: "I heard that Mr. Feng Chu is here. I'm here to look for talented people. I don't want to disturb you anymore. I hope you don't blame me!"
Seeing her courtyard gate torn apart all over the courtyard, who would believe what Long Fei said. But at this time, she couldn't help but not believe it. Huang Yueying nodded and grabbed Pang Tong: "This person is Feng Chu, Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan,
Is he the one you are looking for? You can take him away now."
Long Fei chuckled and said, "The girl has such an amazing mouth."
Cai Hao hurriedly said with a smile: "I have not disciplined you well, and I have made the general laugh. Please come inside, general."
Entering the living room, Zhang Yun was still sitting there in a daze. Long Fei looked at him and smiled slightly. Cai Hao kicked Zhang Yun. Only then did Zhang Yun come back to his senses. He knelt down quickly and spoke incoherently, talking nonsense:
"I, you, I can't kill you, let me go!"
Dian Wei grabbed Zhang Yun's clothes, carried him and threw him out of the door. Looking at the people in the room, Long Fei motioned for everyone to sit down, and he sat down where Zhang Yun had just been. Cai Mao stood up hurriedly, and Long Fei
He smiled and said, "It's the same wherever you sit. When it comes to official positions, Mr. Cai is a Situ, which is much higher than me, the general of Zhennan!"
Cai Hao still didn't dare to sit down, so he kept urging Long Fei to sit down. Long Fei slapped the table with his palm and said, "Cai Hao!"
Cai Mao was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Long Fei said loudly: "Cai Mao colluded with Hei Bing in an attempt to cause trouble in our Jingzhou. The soldiers he led took advantage of the opportunity to recover the county and township to plunder the people's fat and riches, and sent troops to rob the people. For other things, I
I won’t go into details, Mr. Cai, what do you think I should do with you?”
"I deserved my death! Please punish me, my lord!" Cai Mao knelt on the ground, sobbing.
"Hey!" Long Fei stretched out his hand to help Cai Mao up: "I already know the whole story. Hei Bing detained your family and asked you to stay in Jingzhou as an internal response. When you failed to coordinate with Liu Bei, he threatened your family by my side.
Internal response, can what I say be true?"
Cai Mao nodded hurriedly: "Five years ago, Hei Bing's people suddenly broke into my home and threatened me with my family to work for them. My father did not agree and was immediately killed. For the sake of my family, I had to bear the humiliation and pretend to be deaf and dumb around Liu Biao.
My sister killed Liu Biao in the hope of using Liu Cong to get rid of the shackles of Hei Bing. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang got worse and worse, and the whole family, ugh..." Cai Mao cried like a baby, and everyone present shed tears.
Long Fei patted Cai Mao on the shoulder: "Let me tell you a good thing. Your son Cai Huang has been rescued by us, as well as your two younger brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He!"
Cai Mao hurriedly wiped his tears and looked at Long Fei. Long Fei waved Cai Zhong, and Cai He took Cai Huang into the room. Cai Mao hugged his son and burst into tears. The Cai family was almost wiped out, and Cai Huang was the only one left.
If even a single seedling dies, the Cai family will be worried about the incense. Cai Mao knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to Long Fei: "My lord, Cai Mao is deeply grateful for your great kindness. I am willing to follow my lord in this life and do whatever I want!"
After all, Huang Yueying is a daughter's family. Her uncle cried so sadly that he also shed tears. Seeing that his little cousin was alive and well, his worries turned into joy. Long Fei bowed slightly and said, "My little girl was so offensive just now.
I hope General Long won’t take offense!”
Long Fei chuckled: "It doesn't matter! General Cai is also a tough general, especially in the navy. You also heard about our giant ship a few days ago. I wonder if General Cai has a rise?"
Cai Hao hurriedly bowed down and said, "I would like to thank you, Lord, for your cultivation!"
Everyone laughed. Cai Hao looked at Zhang Yun in the courtyard, whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He couldn't bear it and said: "My lord, this Zhang Yun has been with me for many years and is like a brother. Can Cai Hao please my lord to bypass him?"
Long Fei glanced at Cai Hao: "General Cai Hao regards him as a brother, but Zhang Yun may not regard General Cai as a brother."
"Oh?" Cai Mao was confused. Guo Jia smiled: "This Zhang Yun was sent by Hei Bing to monitor General Cai. If it weren't for him, more than a hundred members of the Cai family would not have been killed, and the young master would not have been arrested!
"
"Yes, brother! I remember clearly that day, it was Zhang Yun who brought people to our house!" Cai Zhong and Cai He hurriedly added.
"Ah!" Cai Mao sighed: "I think I have regarded him as a brother for so many years, but he is really a beast with a human face! Thank you, Lord, for the heads up!"
Long Fei chuckled: "Very good, now that we have said it, we will appoint Cai Mao as General Fubo and belong to Gan Ning's navy. As for Zhang Yun, he will be executed immediately!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Cai Hao hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Guo Jia looked at Cai Mao: "General Cai, your position as Situ..." Everyone laughed.
