Chapter 412 There are two more flowery fiancees, waiting for me
Chapter 412 There are still two beautiful fiancées waiting for me to go back and marry them! (Three-in-one)
"When I came here, the emperor's uncle had already told me.
If I, Deng Bomiao, cannot go back, my lord will lead an army and go down the river.
Conquer Jingzhou.
I, Deng Zhi, have already given up on life and death, and I am not from a wealthy family. It would be a pity to die if I die.
It’s just that all the princes have great families, great careers, and noble status. Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone died because of this?”
Deng Zhi glanced at Cai Hao, who was charging towards him with a knife, without any fear at all.
Without even looking at him, he stood there looking at Liu Biao and said proudly.
"I'll kill you right now!
I’ll chop your mouth into pieces!”
Cai Mao shouted angrily and rushed to Deng Zhi.
He raised his sword to chop at Deng Zhi.
Deng Zhi remained unmoved, as if he had not seen this scene.
"Degui! Stop!"
When the sword was about to chop out, Liu Biao shouted and stopped Cai Hao.
When Cai Mao heard this, he sheathed his sword angrily.
After Liu Biao stopped drinking Cai Mao, he laughed out loud.
After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing, looked at Deng Zhi and said:
"What a joke!
What a loud tone!
Do you really think that Jingzhou is made of mud? If you say you want to flatten Jingzhou, you can flatten Jingzhou?
Do you think I, Liu Biao, am as easy to bully as Liu Yan?!"
Deng Zhi said proudly: "Since Uncle Liu Huang led the army, we have defeated the Jiangdong tiger Sun Wentai twice!
Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning, how elite his troops were?
In front of the emperor's uncle, he is like a chicken or a dog!
Yuan Shao colluded with the Baibo bandits, hundreds of thousands of them, and were defeated by the emperor's uncle in one night!
With another thousand soldiers and horses, he crossed the river to attack Zhang Miao's 100,000 soldiers and horses!
The defeat in one battle made Zhang Miao ask if my head was still there!
Uncle Liu Huang led his troops across Sishui Pass and suppressed all the rebels in the Kanto region until they could not move forward!
In the end, we had no choice but to retreat!
How dangerous is Yizhou?
The emperor's uncle pointed out that in just two months, he had already captured the east and west rivers!
Since the emperor's uncle led the army, he has never suffered a defeat.
Does Jing Shenggong really think he can block the attack of the emperor's uncle?
Also, does Jing Shenggong really think that if the emperor's uncle leads his troops eastward to attack Jingzhou, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian will stand still?
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian alone were already too much for Jing Shenggong to deal with. With the addition of Uncle Liu Huang, could Jing Shenggong really be able to resist it?
As for Yuan Shao, Duke Jing Sheng’s so-called ally, I advise Duke Sheng not to have too much hope.
Yuan Benchu only had land on the Bohai Sea and was absolutely unwilling to do so. At this time, he was probably plotting against Jizhou.
Moreover, the emperor's uncle has already sent a letter of alliance to Yuan Shao's envoy, and Yuan Shao will definitely not refuse.
Under such circumstances, if Jingzhou is attacked, Yuan Shao will never send troops to rescue it.
Let me tell you this, whether to hand over the remnants of the Lou family, the Shen family and others, and hand over 300,000 shi of grain, or wait for the emperor's uncle to send his troops eastward and conquer Jingzhou, the choice lies with Jing Shenggong, not with the emperor's uncle.
Lord Jing Sheng, as well as the wise men and women from Jingzhou present here, please think carefully."
Deng Zhi's words made everyone present couldn't help but blush.
Very angry.
Bullying, really bullying!
There is no such thing as bullying!
They, all the famous people and high-ranking officials from the Jingzhou family, including Jingzhou Mu, a clan member of the Han clan, were all ridiculed by this little Deng Zhi, who had never been named in the past!
Everyone wanted to kill Deng Zhi immediately, chop him into pieces, throw them into the big cauldron outside, and fry him!
Only in this way can we relieve the hatred in our hearts!
However, they dare not do this.
Because, this Deng Zhi is not just Deng Zhi.
Behind Deng Zhi, there is the pig butcher!
The feeling of wanting to kill Deng Zhi but not daring to do so made everyone present feel extremely sick.
I just feel like my chest is so tight...
"Are you threatening me?!"
Liu Biao was furious.
Deng Zhi calmly held up his hands and said, "It's not a threat, it's just stating a fact."
When Liu Biao heard this, he was speechless.
"Why bother to accuse someone?
What you Deng Bomiao said is too big a decision to be made in a short while.
You need to give me some time to discuss."
Liu Biao was frustrated by Deng Zhi's unwillingness to accept both soft and hard tactics.
Many of the others had no other ideas except to hack Deng Zhi to death.
After this silence lasted for a while, Kuai Liang said this...
A moment later, Deng Zhi walked out of the hall with his head held high.
Ignoring the people in Jingzhou who glared at him.
I feel so good in my heart.
One person dominates a state!
Is it because he, Deng Zhi and Deng Bomiao, have such supreme debate skills that people like Jingzhou dare not do anything to him?
no.
It was because behind him stood a being that no one in Jingzhou dared to despise or ignore.
This person is Uncle Liu Huang!
…
"Bang!"
After Deng Zhi left, Liu Biao couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed the tea bowl in front of him and threw it to the ground.
The tea bowl was shattered and pieces of celadon were flying everywhere...
…
"Liu Cheng stationed troops in Wu County, sharpened his sword sharply, and pointed his spearhead at Jingzhou. This is a golden opportunity.
With Liu Cheng's participation, Jingzhou Liu Biao has nothing to fear!
I should write to Liu Cheng and order him to send troops as soon as possible.
Let him join forces with us to capture Jingzhou!"
Here in Nanyang, Yuan Shu looked excited.
"Lord, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter.
Liu Biao is a jackal!
Liu Cheng is a fierce tiger!
It is not a wise move for the Lord to introduce a tiger in order to drive away a jackal.
Liu Biao, we will be able to eradicate him sooner or later, but as for Liu Cheng, it will not be easy to eradicate him.
If one doesn't do it right, I'm afraid it will backfire.
Please, my lord, think twice!"
Yuan Shu's chief secretary, Yan Xiang, looked a little worried and spoke to Yuan Shu, admonishing him.
Yuan Shu laughed and said, "I have been thinking about this matter since Liu Cheng led his troops to attack Yizhou.
It has been many days since then, and the idea has already matured.
There won't be any danger.
Dong Zhuo's forces were in Guanzhong and Yizhou.
To the west of Guanzhong there are Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui, and on the other side there are Qiang people, Huns and other foreign races.
All of this will have a great impact on Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng.
The vast area of Kanto is different from other places. There are too many powerful people, various forces, and complexity.
Compared with the closed Guanzhong and Yizhou, Jingzhou can be said to be isolated and bordered by many places. It can be said to be the place of the Four Wars.
Anyone around you can fight.
To defend such a place requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
On Dong Zhuo's side, he newly gained Guanzhong and then gained Yizhou.
There are also places like Liangzhou that need to be on guard.
In a short period of time, it is impossible to mobilize troops and a large amount of food and grass that can completely control Jingzhou.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo is different from us.
Dong Zhuo is a person who violates taboos.
And the strength is powerful.
If Liu Cheng takes Jingzhou, everyone in Guandong will stop fighting and all attack Liu Cheng.
The place where Jingzhou fought four battles was no better than the one at Sishui Pass.
When he was at Sishui Pass, Liu Cheng only had to defend Sishui Pass, but Jingzhou had to defend everywhere.
It is far away from Dong Zhuo's base camp, and it is not easy for Dong Zhuo to provide support.
This Jingzhou will become a flesh and blood mill with great charm, draining away and wearing away Dong Zhuo's power bit by bit!
It would be best for Liu Chengzhen to occupy Jingzhou and not leave.
Of course, according to my observations of Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng, I am afraid that Liu Cheng will not occupy Jingzhou after he attacks it.
Nine times out of ten, he will leave.
Even if he didn't leave at that time, he would have led his troops and left Jingzhou after suffering losses after occupying it for a while.
Since then, Jingzhou has been very advantageous to us.
It is true that Liu Cheng is a fierce tiger, but he cannot stay here in Jingzhou for a long time, so there is no need to be afraid.
With this action, he will definitely be the forerunner of the king and make wedding clothes for us!"
As Yuan Shu said this, he looked extremely confident.
Chief Registrar Yan Xiang originally wanted to persuade Yuan Shu not to do this.
As a result, after listening to what Yuan Shu said, he was convinced by Yuan Shu.
"My lord is thoughtful and comprehensive, and I am admired by my subordinates."
Yan Xiang raised his hands to Yuan Shu and said.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he burst into laughter.
He straightened up and looked toward the northeast.
"I am about to acquire the land of Jingzhou. I wonder what will happen to Yuan Shao's little maid?
I wonder if he is still staying in a corner of the Bohai Sea."
He muttered aloud.
As long as he thinks that he occupies the prosperous land of Nanyang and Jingzhou, and Yuan Shao, who has always suppressed him in the past and is the shadow of his childhood and youth and youth, only occupies Bohai and does not have much achievements, Yuan Shu's heart
I feel extremely happy...
After the matter was settled, Yuan Shu immediately arranged for people to rush to Wu County to meet Liu Cheng to implement his plan...
…
"Invite me to send troops to attack Jingzhou together. After we succeed, we will divide Jingzhou equally?"
Here in Wu County, Liu Cheng, who was leading an army stationed here for fishing, looked a little surprised and asked.
"...Liu Biao was arrogant and domineering. Jingzhou was rich in land, but not easy to attack. The emperor's uncle had unparalleled combat power, so the general wanted to invite the emperor's uncle to join him in attacking Jingzhou.
After winning, the land of Jingzhou will be divided equally..."
One person said respectfully.
It was Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's chief registrant.
"Fishing!"
As soon as Yan Xiang finished speaking, he heard Liu Cheng happily say something like this.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Then I saw Liu Cheng standing up, holding a green bamboo to make a fishing rod, and started to pull it out.
But the fish that was hooked was not small, and the fishing rod was bent, but it was not pulled out of the water.
Uncle Liu Huang looked like an old fisherman.
Stop deadlifting immediately.
Start holding the fishing rod and fishing line and pull it back and forth to walk the fish.
After struggling for a while, the fish lost strength and was dragged to the riverside.
Holding the fishing rod in one hand and the net bag in the other, cover it and pull it to the surface of the water.
It was a herring, quite big, weighing more than twenty kilograms.
Put it on the shore, it's quite big.
Liu Cheng took the fishhook out of the herring's mouth, shook his head and said, "Divide Jingzhou equally?
I don’t share equally.”
When Yan Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He thought about it and said, "Could it be that the emperor wants to monopolize Jingzhou?"
Liu Cheng threw the baited fishhook into the river.
Here, he made a nest for several days and there were a lot of fish.
After doing this, Liu Chengcai said: "My appetite is not that big.
I have no intention of doing anything to Jingzhou.
The reason why I refused was because General Hou had such a good idea!
Jingzhou was the site of the Fourth War. The relationship between Jingzhou itself and its surroundings was complex. Compared with Guanzhong and Yizhou, Jingzhou was isolated.
I can win the fight, but the next defense will make me extremely uncomfortable.
If I really want to defend it, it will turn into a mud pit and sink me deeply...
After a lot of hard work, I had to retreat from there...
It was said that Jingzhou was divided equally with me, but in the end it was the general who won Jingzhou alone.
I will gain nothing except working hard in vain and getting into a lot of trouble.
It's really a good idea.
I won’t do such things that would lead to a loss.”
Yan Xiang was stunned again when he heard this. He didn't expect that after seeing Liu Cheng and just talking to him about the matter, he had already guessed all the thoughts of the general!
Liu Cheng, who was born as a butcher, is not only great at fighting, he is also frighteningly agile in other aspects!
With this thought in his mind, Yan Xiang couldn't help but respect Liu Cheng and became solemn.
"The emperor is joking. The general does not have such thoughts. He just wants to divide Jingzhou equally with the emperor..."
When Liu Cheng heard this, he smiled and ignored what Yan Xiang said. He just kept holding the fishing rod and focused on fishing.
Yan Xiang didn't feel embarrassed when he saw this. He paused for a while and then said: "Then I wonder what the emperor needs to do so that he can lead his troops east to attack Jingzhou?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng stretched out the hand that was not holding the fishing rod and spread his five fingers.
Yan Xiang was puzzled for a moment.
Just as he was about to ask, Liu Cheng said: "Five hundred thousand shi of rice.
Give me five hundred thousand stones of rice, and I will send my troops east to attack Jingzhou and capture the land of Jingzhou to the general behind me."
When Yan Xiang heard this, he looked embarrassed.
"Half a million shi of rice is really too much... The emperor sends his troops east to conquer Jingzhou, and the rice he can get will be even more."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "By capturing Jingzhou, I will naturally harvest a lot of food, but what does that have to do with the general?
Could it be that the general Hou didn't think of anything at all?
Are you going to use my battle spoils to exchange for the land of Jingzhou from me?
This idea is too good.
Do you really think others are fools?"
Yan Xiang smiled and said: "Uncle Emperor, this is not how the accounts are settled. Think about it, sooner or later you will attack Jingzhou. In this case, why can't you just be a favor?
After this incident, the general will definitely be extremely grateful for your kindness.
The emperor's uncle will befriend the general because of this, and from now on..."
"Favours?
This favor is too much.
As for making friends with Yuan Shu...
Why should I befriend Yuan Shu?
Will this do me any good?
The human heart is the easiest to become unreliable, but food in hand is the most reassuring.
As for attacking Jingzhou...
Still saying this, why should I attack Jingzhou?"
Yan Xiang was confused by Liu Cheng's words.
He calmed down his thoughts and said, "Uncle, please don't lie to me. You are stationing troops in Wu County and watching with eager eyes. It's not for Jingzhou, but where is it for?"
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "I stationed troops in Wu County to catch those dishonest families in Yizhou.
It has nothing to do with the attack on Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is like that whether we fight or not.
It’s just the difference between earning more and earning less…”
"Uncle Emperor, this matter is mutually beneficial to both parties.
After conquering Jingzhou, both you and the general will be happy, each of you can get what you need.
If you don't fight, the general will not be able to get Jingzhou, but you, the emperor, will also not be able to get a lot of food and grass from Jingzhou..."
Yan Xiang spoke again and did some ideological work with Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng was unmoved: "I don't have to get the food and grass in Jingzhou.
Yizhou is already rich. After conquering Yizhou on this trip, I am already very, very rich, whether it is military merit or food and grass.
It doesn't matter whether Jingzhou is fought or not.
But for the general, it was different.
Nanyang alone is still too small a place.
I can't use my hands and feet.
Moreover, I heard that Yuan Shao is plotting against Jizhou there, and he has many capable men. If the general does not act quickly, Yuan Shao will definitely capture Jizhou before he captures Jingzhou."
Having said that, when he saw Yan Xiang and wanted to speak, Liu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Master Yan, there is no need to say more. Five hundred thousand shi of rice is my bottom line.
Five hundred thousand shi of rice sounds like a lot, but compared with the land of Jingzhou, it is nothing.
The rice produced in Jingzhou in a year is more than three to five five hundred thousand dan?
After General Hou took possession of Jingzhou, he doubled his profit within one year.
I have made my words very clear.
Master Yan just goes back and talks to the general.
Five hundred thousand dan of rice arrived here in Wu County, and I immediately sent troops eastward.
Help him conquer Jingzhou.
I will wait here for fifteen days.
If General Hou cannot transport this amount of rice within fifteen days, then I will lead my troops back from Wu County immediately and go to Yizhou to collect the nets.
After collecting the net, they will lead their troops back to Guanzhong.
I also have two beautiful fiancées waiting for me to marry when I return.
It’s been such a long time since we got engaged, I can’t wait any longer!”
Yan Xiang was unwilling to give in, and said something to Liu Cheng, hoping to negotiate the price with Liu Cheng and ask Liu Cheng to ask for less rice.
But things are just as Liu Cheng said, it is not Liu Cheng who is anxious to attack Jingzhou now, but Yuan Shu.
He set the price very hard and gave nothing at all.
Yan Xiang had no choice but to give up in the end.
He told Liu Cheng that he would go back and report the matter to Yuan Shu, so he said goodbye to Liu Cheng and set off by boat.
I drove all night and didn't dare to stop for even a minute.
After all, the time given by Liu Cheng was not generous.
Watching Yan Xiang leave, Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, the fish float in the water started to move.
The whole fish float sank into the water at once and disappeared.
At the same time, a considerable falling force was transmitted to the hand.
Fishing again!
Not too small!
Liu Cheng had no time to think about Yuan Shu, and immediately concentrated on holding the fishing rod and fighting against the hooked fish.
After doing this for a while, Liu Cheng pulled up a big herring that was even bigger than the previous herring, definitely over forty pounds.
"Today is really a good harvest day!"
Liu Cheng looked at the two big herrings, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
My heart is filled with the joy of a fisherman after landing a big catch.
"It seems that if you want to fish, the most important thing is to build a good nest, so that fish will come to eat the bait..."
He whispered with emotion and joy.
With these two big fish, tonight's delicious food is guaranteed.
With this thought in his mind, Liu Chenggong once again threw the fishhook in his hand into the river.
I want to see if I can catch some more fish...
"Uncle Emperor, are you really planning to send troops out of Jingzhou to help Yuan Shu conquer Jingzhou?"
In the evening, after eating the delicious fish soup, Zhang Liao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he went to Liu Cheng to ask.
Hearing this, Liu Cheng said with a smile: "Wen Yuan thinks, should we fight?"
Zhang Liao said: "If we go by what the emperor uncle said to Yuan Shu's men today, after we get the food and grass, we must go to fight!"
"What if you don't follow it?"
Liu Cheng looked at Zhang Liao with a smile and asked.
Zhang Liao chuckled: "If we don't follow this, my subordinates will think that after we take these grains, there is no need to go to Jingzhou immediately.
When Yuan Shu's envoy asked about it, he said that we are waiting for a fighter jet here, waiting for the right opportunity to take action...
We did not say that we would not send troops to help him conquer Jingzhou.
It’s just that the time is not right and it’s not the right time to send troops..."
When Liu Cheng heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became fuller, and he reached out and took Zhang Liao's hand.
This Liao is more thieves than I thought.
What he originally wanted to do was just to wipe the slate clean and refuse to accept the blame, but Zhang Liao took it to the next level and used the procrastination technique to the fullest.
We all agree with what we said before, but now the fighter plane has not arrived and we cannot send troops...
We can't rely on us to keep our word...
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, each one laughing harder than the other.
Like the fox who stole the chicken...
…
"This Liu Cheng is so cruel!
It’s a real dog!”
Here in Nanyang, after receiving a report from Yan Xiang who was rushing back all the way, Yuan Shu couldn't help but curse.
Five hundred thousand shi of grain, and even asked for rice by name, nothing less would be enough!
This is when I know that three inches of my body have been pinched, so I want to take it hard!
"Lord, do you want to give it to him?"
Yan Xiang asked.
Yuan Shu paced back and forth, and after walking for a while, he clenched his fist and said, "Here! Transport the rice in the granary to Wu County immediately.
And sent a large number of manpower to collect rice.
I personally went to some aristocratic families and asked them to contribute some.
We must deliver 500,000 shi of rice within the time specified by Liu Cheng!"
Jingzhou, which he had planned for a long time, was now in front of him, waving to him, and he could no longer hold back.
Of course, the most important thing is what Yan Xiang heard back. What Uncle Liu Huang said that Yuan Shao's little maid was about to take Jizhou, which greatly stimulated him!
"My lord, I'm afraid those aristocratic families won't give too much, right?"
Yan Xiangdao.
Yuan Shu heard this and said: "It's okay. I'll beg for part of it and borrow the rest. We'll capture Jingzhou immediately and we can make money back this year!"
When I, Yuan Shu, asked them for help, they still had to give me some thin noodles."
Yan Xiang nodded, agreeing with Yuan Shu's words.
Be prepared to do things according to Yuan Shu's orders.
He walked a few steps forward, stopped suddenly, looked at Yuan Shu and said hesitantly: "Master, what if Liu Cheng takes the food and doesn't send troops?"
Yuan Shu was stunned and said: "Liu Cheng is very trustworthy. From the news I know, I have never heard of him being untrustworthy.
There should be no exception this time...
And there is a big piece of fat like Jingzhou that is attracting..."
