Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 133

Cai Zhenji gave back a set of glazed "tangrams", or "seven tricks".

Inside the kit are five isosceles triangles of different sizes, one is a square, and one is a parallelogram.The patterns combined with it are ever-changing, which is very suitable for self-entertainment in leisure time.

At this time, colored glaze is rare and expensive, and its price is even higher than that of gold.

Jin Hua came from a wealthy family, and she still has good eyesight. She was flattered by such an expensive gift in return.

Moreover, strictly according to seniority, Cai Zhenji is Ma Chao's elder.

Rejection is impossible to refuse, it can only show attitude.

"Given by the elders, I dare not resign! Jinhua is ashamed to accept such a heavy gift."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Cai Zhenji immediately glanced at Ma Chao, your little daughter-in-law looks very old-fashioned, doesn't she?
How can Ma Chao, who has been fighting with the eldest sister "from birth to death" in Shangjun for a long time, not understand what the other party means.

Immediately hugging his wife, he laughed and said: "Jinhua, we are all friends who have passed our fates, don't make troubles about the vain courtesy, if the courtesy is serious, you can secretly enjoy it, and if the courtesy is light, don't complain."

"I"

Just as Jin Hua wanted to argue, Cai Zhenji waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about that, Xiaochao, the family has bought a new house for you, and our brothers hope that you will come back for a wedding reception. When will we do it?"

Ma Chao asked in a daze: "I've just come back, I'm here, how can I know? You have to ask the alchemist and heavenly master about this?"

Cai Zhenji patted her forehead, everyone was inexperienced, remembering that the only elders in Shangjun who are considered seniors are Yongzhou Mu Lubu.

"Then you go to the State Shepherd's Mansion first, meet Lu Zhiguan, and ask casually, he is familiar. Sleeves, bags, you two ask Lan Datou for leave, and help your elder brother a little bit."

Ma Xiu Ma Dai, a "repeater" for many years, was supposed to cooperate with the eldest sister to make soy sauce, so it doesn't matter whether Lingyun Castle has them or not.

Ma Dai asked with concern: "Eldest sister, why don't you just sit here, how exciting it is to go back to the city together!"

Cai Zhenji shook her head and said, "No, I have to show my brother-in-law and sister this time, the women of the Cai family are not inferior to men! But I will be there at the banquet."

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Ambition! This alone is better than many men, okay, I'll take them away first, and if you have something to say, send someone to speak up."

"Go!"

Hearing that the two little ponies were going to help Ma Chao organize the wedding, Lan Dong readily let him go and promised to attend on time on the wedding day.

Ma Chao and his entourage came to see Lu Bu, just as Lu Bu was visiting.

Hearing that the younger generation of the Ma family had arrived, Lu Bu laughed and said, "It's really a coincidence, just in time, so that uncle Zhi can also see my Yongzhou thousand-mile horse."

The visitor was Lu Bu's former colleague, Bingzhou Weimeng engaged in publicity, and the two have always been friends.

Three horses and one gold went to the hall and met two elders.

Zhang Yang wanted something from others, so he naturally praised him greatly, making Lu Bu's face flushed with praise.

"Haha, it's true that there are successors after longevity, but Uncle Zhi doesn't need to praise too much, lest the younger generation be proud and complacent!"

When Ma Chao made it clear what he wanted to do, Lu Bu did his part and took care of everything.

"I'll let someone arrange it properly. Meng Qi just needs to be the bridegroom's official with peace of mind. Come here."

The steward of the Lu Mansion came forward and followed the instructions to take the four of them to Ma Chao's new home to implement the wedding matters one by one.

As soon as he left the State Shepherd's Mansion, Matthew asked his elder brother in private: "Why did you come to Shangjun to do business in Bingzhou?"

Ma Chao thought about it for a while, and probably had some guesses. It involved military affairs, so he couldn't make it clear for the time being, so he dealt with it casually.

Ma Chao was right.

Bingzhou was engaged in publicity, and when he saw that Lu Bu, who was not much different from the past, had risen to the top and became the state shepherd within a few years, he couldn't help sighing from time to time.

A few days ago, Zhang Yang's wife, Mrs. Liu, couldn't help but said, "What's the matter with long sighs and short sighs? A man should act accordingly. If Lu Fengxian can vote for Jinwu, so can a husband."

Zhang Yang felt sore, he was only engaged in business, he was so different from Zhi Jinwu, there was no one to talk in between, what a fart!

Besides, Zhi Jinwu is rich all over the world, and the power overwhelms the great general Taifu, and he is clinking poor, what should he invest in?

Mrs. Zhang nodded her husband's elm head: "Yongyouji plus Yanmen, Bingzhou will sooner or later be in the purse of Zhijinwu, why not be beautiful?"

what!
A word to awaken the dreamer.

Zhang Yang immediately picked up his old wife and gave him a deep kiss.

That night, Zhang Yang wrote a secret letter, informing Lu Bu that he had something important to discuss, and sent his family member Ding Ji to the county overnight.

Today, I even visited directly at the door, and said frankly: I want to taste the taste of being assassinated by the North, so I ask my old friends to send troops to help.

Since Lu Bu followed the big-eared thief, he was promoted from riding captain to frontier official, and he has seen too many dirty political transactions.

If it weren't for the lord to set foot in the Eastern Capital, plus the conquest of Dongying and Xianbei, Bingzhou would definitely fall into his own hands.

Now with Zhang Yang, the difficulty has been reduced by at least half, and his heart is moved.

For all the major plans before, I have been playing a supporting role, and I have not had much credit for it. Even though I became a Yongzhou shepherd, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was rewarded by Liu Bei.

Guan Yu, Liu Bei's second younger brother, has made great achievements in fighting in the east and west, but he didn't even become a state shepherd. How about you, Lu Bu?
Now is your chance to prove yourself!

At this time, when troops were sent to Taiyuan, Yu Gong was helping Zhang Yang to calm the chaos.

For private purposes, make up the strategic security zone between Yongyou and Youzhou to prevent people from Bingzhou from interfering with the plan to conquer Xianbei.

For this reason, no one can fault it.

With the strength of Lu Bu's troops, it would not take much trouble to fight the Bingzhou army, not to mention Zhang Yang, who is in charge of the Bingzhou military, as an internal response.

The two quickly reached an agreement that Zhang Yang would first create disturbances in Xihe and Taiyuan and ask Shangjun for help.

When Lu Bu received the news, he sent troops from the border of the two prefectures, first took Hexi and then went to Taiyuan, and then helped Zhang Yang to the top.

At the same time, Zhang Yang said frankly that he was willing to serve Liu Bei with the territory of Bingzhou in the north, and was even willing to lobby the powerful faction of the Shangdang. Lu Bu had an extra help and readily agreed.

After negotiating, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to Taiyuan that day.

Flying to the top is right in front of you, hard work is nothing!
At the same time, Lu Bu repaired a letter and forwarded it to Liu Bei through Liu Neng, hoping to suppress the unfavorable changes in the court.

Liu Neng felt that there was no problem and was happy to see it succeed.

Winning Bingzhou was a long-established strategy, and now Lu Bu Zhangyang can handle it himself, saving a lot of trouble.

In order to ensure Lu Zhang's success, Liu Neng selectively handed over the Bingzhou intelligence collected in recent years to the other party.

After seeing the well-organized Bingzhou information, as well as the accurate maps, and even the markings on every wooden bridge in every village, Lu Bu felt deeply that the Jinyiwei was terrible.

Of course, more confidence.

And north, one drum can be played.

Just as the Yongzhou faction was conspiring, Sun Jian had already cleaned up Wujun and turned his attention to the surrounding area.

Wu County has Guangling in the north, Danyang in the west, and Kuaiji in the south, all of which are well-known and prosperous towns.

Of course, Kuaiji involves the vital interests of many bigwigs, and no matter how fierce the tiger in the south of the Yangtze River is, they dare not touch it lightly.

Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, was a famous person in Xuzhou, and was highly valued by Tao Qian, the governor of the state.

Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, had an upright temperament. He not only refused Yuan Shu's solicitation, but also talked about the bad behavior of this prodigal son many times.

Yuan Yanei regarded it as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Therefore, Sun Jian, who learned of this, reported to Jiujiang on the pretext of a dispute between the people on the border between the two counties.

Yuan Shuzheng was worried that he had no chance to vent his anger, so he immediately instructed Sun Jian to punish Danyang severely, and the culprit must be cut to pieces.

Ever since he formed an alliance with the Zhou family, Sun Erlianzi knew that killing would do more harm than good.

What's more, Zhou Xin has a good reputation among the people of Danyang, once he is killed by himself, he will suffer endless troubles in the future.

Just wondering how to deal with it, he heard his son and Zhou Yu arguing in the backyard. With a mentality of trying, Sun Jian called for two juniors.

"Danyang is easy to get, but the prefect is hard to keep, what can I do?"
