I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 367 Men, I Can't Persuade General Zuo

According to Liu Bei's request, Cai Mi and Song Zhong went to eat in the charity house first, and then went to rest, while Liu Bei continued to wait.

About an hour later, another group of people rushed towards the charity house in Dangyin County.

For this team, Liu Bei's scouts had already made inquiries, and it was Ma Rixun and Qin Yi who came from Beijing.

As the ministers of the imperial court, the reason why he was able to avoid Dong Zhuo's suspicion and come here this time was because after Liu Jian pacified Youzhou, the imperial court decided to send the two of them as an excuse to appease the heroes on the border and investigate and grasp the current situation in Hebei. Messenger came to condolences.

Therefore, these two people were able to come to Hebei on the basis of public affairs and private interests, and asked Liu Jian again about supporting King Chenliu.

Their itinerary has always been under Liu Jian's control.

A group of people from Chang'an came to the charity house, and Liu Bei hurriedly greeted them personally.

Compared with Song Zhong who came from Jingzhou, Liu Bei was more polite and respectful to the envoys in Beijing.

After all, both Ma Rixun and Qin Yi had official positions in Beijing, and they came with the emperor's order this time, and they belonged to the envoys of the emperor, so it is impossible not to be generous in terms of treatment.

Ma Rixun and Qin Yi stayed with Liu Bei for a long time, and then Liu Bei invited them to rest in the room.

Before going to rest in the room, they saw that Ma Rixun and Qin Yi ordered someone to bring a woman into the charity house, and arranged a room to rest in advance.

Liu Bei just glanced at the woman casually, and was astonished.

If the Cai Mi that Liu Bei saw just now was full of charm, mellow, enchanting and gorgeous, the woman in front of him can be said to be truly unparalleled in beauty.

Without any redundant adjectives, in a word... good-looking is pure beauty!It's really beautiful.

Whether it's eyes, nose, lips, or height and figure, they are all first-class in the world. When combined together, they can be called stunning.

Liu Bei really did not expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in this world.

It's really so beautiful, if any mature man sees it, his whole body will be limp, his face will blush and his neck will be thick, and his heart will rise with yearning for possession.

Liu Bei subconsciously asked Qin Yi, "This is also a gift from His Majesty to General Zuo?"

"Ok?"

Qin Yi didn't understand what Liu Bei meant.

What is it?

What is a gift?

"A reward from Xiangguo?" Liu Bei asked again.

Qin Yi still didn't react.

However, Ma Rixun understood Liu Bei's meaning.

You must know that Ma Rixun's father was Ma Rong, a great scholar in Fufeng County, and also the teacher of Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan.

When Ma Rong was alive, he was a person who loved beauty and could enjoy vocal music.

Red gauze tents are hung in the high hall, disciples are taught in front, and female music is set up behind the tents. This is the consistent style of Ma Rong's teaching.

Of course, in response to Ma Rong's behavior, his disciples bragged for the teacher, saying that he was not a Confucian.

This is the great Confucian Ma Rong. If he were an ordinary scholar, he would have committed suicide in shame and indignation.

This is the gap in class, the privilege of the aristocratic class.

Not only is the material distribution unfair, but even the same behavior will not be judged fairly by people from upper and lower classes.

Great Confucianism playing with women is called elegance, and it is called romantic talent.

Ordinary people playing with women are called prostitutes and lustful people.

As Ma Rong's son, Ma Rixun also fully inherited Ma Rong's genes in this regard.

He is very aware of the in-depth relationship between men and women.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, this girl is the righteous daughter of the king's concubine. She is good at singing and dancing, and she is also very good at playing the piano. Came from thousands of miles, representing the women in Guanzhong, presenting a song, a dance, and a tribute to the general, to thank General Zuo for his achievements in the world."

Liu Bei thought in his heart that what Ma Rixun said was really good... and he also offered wine, dance, and music for thousands of miles.

Sleep with me, sleep with me, it's so polite.

"What Uncle Weng said, there is still the kindness of the servants. I will turn around and wait for General Zuo to recover from his illness. I will report it myself. It is getting late today, and I have ordered people to prepare the food and wine. Please rest early. In the next day, I will send someone to escort the princes to Yecheng."

……

That night, the two groups of people took a rest in Dangyin Yishe, but neither of them was in a hurry to rest.

Regarding the situation that Liu Bei came to greet today, they also started to discuss secretly.

Although Song Zhong is a great Confucian who is both ancient and modern, second only to Zheng Xuan, he is still somewhat inferior in political quality.

Along the way, at critical moments, he would discuss countermeasures with his niece Cai Mi.

Although Cai Mi is a girl, she is quite courageous and knowledgeable.

Therefore, she was the one who advised Song Zhong when something happened.

"Niece, when I saw Liu Bei today, did you understand what he meant?"

Cai Mi sighed: "Although my niece is a girl, she was nurtured by her father fortunately, and she has learned some ways of life since she was a child. Today, Liu Xuande said that General Zuo was sick. It is false. It seems that General Zuo knew the purpose of our visit. , It’s true that you don’t see it on purpose.”

Song Zhong stroked his beard and said, "If so, it will be a bit difficult."

"The old man still needs to think of ways to meet Liu Jian."

Cai Mi shook his head and smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhong, even if you can see that General Zuo, what can you do?"

Song Zhong said solemnly: "I should make a strong statement to the left general, and ask him to follow the original opinion and support King Chenliu as the new emperor."

Cai Mi sighed, "Mr. Zhong, if this General Liu is really so easy to persuade, why would you bring a little girl with you when you come to Yecheng this time?"

"Are you really sure that you can convince him by just talking?"

"This one……"

Hearing what Cai Mi said, Song Zhong showed hesitation on his face.

That's right, if you can be persuaded by words, what kind of beauty trick is there?
It's because it doesn't work normally, so we have to resort to beauty tricks, let's talk about it by the side of the pillow.

Cai Mi said with a smile: "According to my niece, since Liu Jian doesn't want to see Zhong Zigong, he just doesn't want to support King Chen Liu for the time being. No matter what Zhong Zigong says, it won't help. After all, the matter of establishing a new emperor is too big. Once it is done, there is absolutely no way of retreating, how can Zhong Zigong make things happen by just talking about it?"

Song Zhongdao: "Then what does my niece mean?"

"Since you are here, you will be safe. When Zhong Zigong arrives in Yecheng, just follow the rules, ask questions, and take care of things. Even if it's time to play, just play. When the time comes, even if you don't see Liu Jian , Zhong Zigong will go back to Jingzhou."

"Back to Jingzhou, what about persuading Liu Jian?"

Cai Mi sighed softly: "The matter of persuading that General Zuo is naturally on the shoulders of my niece. I came to Jizhou all the way, isn't it for this matter?"

Song Zhong thought about it for a while, secretly thinking that it was true.

Judging by Liu Jian's attitude, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him if he follows the normal procedure.

Now that things are going on, it doesn't matter whether I show up or not, the key is still on this beauty of the Cai family.

Not only Song Zhongzi, but also Qin Yi and Ma Ridun from Chang'an, now basically understand Liu Jian's intentions.

Since Liu Jian acted like this, Ma Rixun felt that it didn't matter whether he saw him or not.

The Chang'an envoy could only put his hope on Du's beauty just like Song Zhong did.

……

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already October in the fourth year of Chuping.

It has been more than two months since Yuan Shu arrived in Yanzhou. During these two months, Yuan Shu has made a lot of achievements in Yanzhou.

First of all, the southern invading bandit army led by Yu Du and Luan Ti Yu Fuluo was defeated by Yuan Shu and they were expelled from the country.

In the past few years, Yuan Shu has recruited many great heroes from Huainan. At the same time, he used the famous families in Huaihe as his base to recruit troops and expand his force.

This time Yuan Shu led [-] Huainan elite soldiers, with Zhang Xun as the general, and entered the Central Plains. With the support of Cao Cao, he called together a group of Yanzhou prefects to discuss the crusade against Montenegro.

As the sect of the Four Generations and Three Dukes, Yuan Shu naturally has the appeal, especially now that the Central Plains is chaotic and lacks a powerful caller, and Yuan Shao seems to have no intention of looking north at the moment.

After looking at it, Yuan Shu seemed to be a suitable candidate.

In particular, Yuan Shu entered Yanzhou this time, and Cao Cao mediated in it, which made Yuan Shu enter Yanzhou extremely fast.

Cao Cao's ability itself is extremely strong. Now that he has united with Yuan Shu, the two of them have taken power in Yanzhou, and the speed of integrating troops and horses can be said to be quite fast.

After Yanzhou's strength was integrated, it would be no problem to deal with Yu Du and other thieves, especially Cao Cao respected Yuan Shu very much now, and Yuan Shu was also satisfied with Cao Cao's attitude and reused him.

With a capable man like Cao Cao as the vanguard, responsible for leading the Yanzhou army integrated by Yuan Shu, the Black Mountain Army Yu Du and others were no match for Yuan Cao at all. They were beaten to pieces by Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, and at the same time lost many The strong population of the Black Mountain Army, and these populations were taken over by Cao Cao and Yuan Shu for their own use.

After expelling the thieves, Yuan Shu began to set his sights on the prefects of Yanzhou.
