Chapter 123 Four Directions
Cao Ang watched Mrs. Cai return, and her graceful figure and charming buttocks made Cao Ang a little reluctant to kill her.
With a sigh, the mother and son need to make arrangements!
In order to appease the hearts of the civil and military officials in Jingzhou and stabilize the territory of Nanjun, Cao Ang now has to use aristocratic families. One is that his subordinates are indeed not enough, and the other is that Xuzhou is a little stretched, not to mention that there are four battles such as Jingzhou, which has a higher demand rate for civil and military officials!
Now that Nanjun has taken over, there are only two brothers of Kuai Yue, Wenpin and Huang Zhong. There are enough senior talents, but not enough talents at the grassroots level!
Now Jingzhou is so bad that it is rotten. The middle and lower classes are controlled by the powerful families of various families. There is almost no way for poor families to come forward. They are nepotism rather than virtuous. It is enough that Jingzhou can live for such a long time in this four battles!
Cao Ang didn't know much about the Jingzhou family before, but he has done his homework these days. First of all, there are seven major families in Jingzhou, Pang, Huang, Cai, Kuai, Ma, Xi, and Yang!
Tens of miles between Xiangyang and Yicheng, all living in these great families accumulated by the Han Dynasty. These great families are different from the Zhen family and Mi family. They do not have thousands of servants and have no wealth to rival a country. What they have are talents! The most precious and capable of controlling power! This is the reason why these aristocratic families last forever.
The Pang family included Pang Degong, Pang Tong, and the Huang family included Huang Chengyan, Huang Zu, Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying, etc. Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun were Cai Mao's nephews. They were both in charge of Jingzhou's general naval army. Cao Ang also tried the talents of the two and found that these two did have extraordinary talents in naval army training.
The two brothers of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the Ma family, the Ma family, the Xi family, and the Yang family did not go to office in troubled times, so few are well-known.
Cao Ang felt that the relationship between Jingzhou was too chaotic. The most respected one was Pang Degong. He worked hard on Yuliangzhou all day long and never made it to the prefecture. Liu Biao died, Cai usurped power, and Liu Bei occupied the four counties of Jingzhou. These major events that were enough to turn Jingzhou several times were settled. Pang Degong always sat down. Pang Degong was in security. Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others who were with him were also settled down.
This is why Cao Ang can only gather a wave of superficial talents. Moreover, the seven major families in Jingzhou have many marriages, and the relationships are very chaotic. Cao Ang does not know the internal news and cannot be settled for a while.
He sighed and stroked the cat's head twice, "Big cat, I really don't want to get involved in Cai Yu, because the situation is forced, the situation is forced."
"Aowoo!"
"Well? Do you say I'm right? Agree with me? Be good, add a deer tonight."
The big cat squinted his eyes and looked happy, "Aowu", "Aowu", "Aowu"
"Only one, you are too fat, I dislike it."
But Ma Teng, Xiliang, heard that Cao Ang occupied the Nanjun of Jingzhou and Jiangxia County, and hurriedly summoned his brother Ma Chao, and Han Sui, a brother of another surname, discussed it.
Ma Chao said: "Now we have already occupied Xiliang, Bingzhou, and the attacks to the south of the Central Plains are actually nothing to do with us. Now Cao Ang has obtained Nanjun, Jiangxia, Jiangdong, and Jingnan Liu Bei must set up troops to occupy the border. In this way, Cao Cao will not dare to invade. We will guard the pass carefully."
Ma Teng and Han Sui both believed that Ma Chao's words were reasonable, but they did not move around the border with the increase of troops.
However, Liu Bei sent an envoy Yiji to Yizhou to meet Liu Zhang, saying that he wanted to communicate with each other and reject Cao Ang's affairs.
Liu Zhang was secretly weak and suspicious. Liu Bei took advantage of the Jingxiang War and took over the four counties in Jingnan to seize the Jingnan County, which made him quite disgusted. He thought that Liu Bei was not a kind person, and was definitely not as kind as he heard. However, Cao Ang stationed troops in Jingxiang. When he heard that Cao Ang was invincible in attacking the city and territories, he was afraid and wanted to form an alliance with Liu Bei just in case. He was unsure of his mind, so he summoned all the advisers to discuss.
Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Huang Quan, Qin Mi, Wang Lei and Zhang Song all arrived.
Liu Zhang then sent Liu Bei to Yi Ji and said that he wanted to form an alliance and told all the counselors to listen to it.
After hearing this, Fa Zheng immediately said, "According to my intentions, we should join forces with Liu Bei to resist Cao Ang!"
Liu Zhang hurriedly said, "What are the great ideas about Xiaozhi? Come quickly!"
Fa Zheng immediately said: "The lord is in Yizhou today. Zhang Lu, Liu Bei and Zhang Lu are in trouble with us, and it is difficult to resolve. If you hate Liu Bei again, wouldn't it be a situation of double-sided attack?"
Liu Zhang was about to speak, but Zhang Song said, "Xiaozhi is such a bad word. Are you not aware of which is more important, Liu Bei's evil or Cao Ang's evil?"
Everyone nodded, and Liu Zhang also looked at Fa Zheng urgently.
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't you hear the whip be too far away? I just said that when Yizhou is approaching, how dare Liu Bei, Zhang Lu, and Cao Ang go deep into the hinterland of Yizhou to attack me?"
Fa Zheng also said: "I know the worries of everyone. Cao Ang is the great evil of the princes in the world! It is a kind and wise man who is good for the people. It is helpless to have a connection with Liu Bei. Now Yizhou is fighting with Zhang Lu, so it is not appropriate to cause trouble again."
Everyone nodded, and Fa Zheng said again: "We don't have to form a letter of alliance with Liu Bei, but we just promise not to invade each other. If Liu Bei really asks our Yizhou to send troops to attack Cao, what should we do?"
Everyone laughed and praised Fa Zheng Lao Cheng's words. Zhang Song still wanted to speak, but saw Fa Zheng looking at him with his eyes and shook his head secretly. Zhang Song then stopped.
Liu Zhang then replied to Yiji according to the law. Of course, he only said that he was familiar with the matter of the Communist Alliance, but did not send an envoy to follow Yiji. He only gave Yiji gifts and asked him to return to Jingnan to reply to Liu Bei.
But the counselors came out, and Zhang Song and Fa Zheng stayed behind. The two pretended to chat. When everyone got on the carriage and were about to leave, Fa Zheng smiled and said, "I never thought that Zi Qiao was such a good person."
Li Yan and Huang Quan heard the Fa's words and laughed: "Is it possible that Xiaozhi knew about it today? You should ask Zi Qiao to drink it!"
Fa Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Why are all brothers here together?"
Everyone waved their hands, Fa Zheng and good drink, they didn't want to be drunk.
So Fa Zheng invited Zhang Song to his home to drink, and no one doubted him.
After drinking halfway, Fa Zheng stepped back and saw no one around, and sat with Zhang Song.
Zhang Song said softly: "When we were discussing things just now, why did you stop me?"
Fa Zheng drank a glass and sighed: "What do you think the lord?"
Zhang Song smiled and said, "I don't discuss the king, but the law is filial and honest, and the words are wrong!"
Fa Zheng looked at Zhang Song straight, "I am not a joke, I know my intention!"
Zhang Song was silent.
Fa Zheng sighed: "Either the heroic lord nor the heroic lord, don't talk about the benevolent lord, nor do you explain the lord. Sooner or later, Yizhou falls into the hands of others!"
Zhang Song said: "This is correct that I want to speak. Cao Ang is not a good person, and Liu Bei is not a good person. How can Yizhou be protected?"
Fa Zheng sighed: "If Jiangdong and Jingnan join forces, Cao Ang will be difficult to attack. After all, with Cao Ang's military power, whether it is Xiliang, Jingnan, or Jiangdong, as long as he moves any place, the rest will not be ignored and wait for him to become a big shot! If this situation is not broken, it will be difficult for the whole world to govern!"
Zhang Song laughed: "The law is filial and filial, and the high opinion of the law!"
Fa Zheng laughed: "You, Zhang Ziqiao, have such thoughts, but you praise me. Are you boasting?"
The two looked at each other and laughed, and then became friends, sighing that they knew each other too late. They drank in this way, and each expressed their insights. Both of them praised each other's talent and knowledge, and they returned home after being drunk.
