The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269 Intrigue
Dongfang Sheng was sent out of the mansion by Yuan Shugong, and of course Dongfang Sheng took some gifts from Yuan Shu before leaving.

After Yuan Shu was the fourth generation and the third prince, how could he lack etiquette?

Dongfang Sheng hired people to push several carts of silk and satin and some expensive gadgets back to Yizhou humming a little tune.

Zhang Lu really withdrew his troops, he had no choice because a Futu sect suddenly appeared in Hanzhong, and he didn't care at first, who knew that as soon as he sent troops, the Futu sect began to incite the people wantonly, and directly cut off the grain and grass that was going to be transported out of the city .

Of course, Zhang Lu didn't know that the Buddha Sect was a ticking time bomb that Dongfang Sheng had buried in Hanzhong.

And Liu Biao just captured two counties, so of course he was full of confidence. He didn't have much reaction to Zhang Lu's sudden withdrawal. Of course, Liu Biao didn't intend to let it go. Yizhou was included.

Dongfang Sheng came to Yuan Shu this time, and naturally he would not delay Liu Biao with an attitude of sincere cooperation so that Yuan Shu could invade Jingzhou. If he really did this, it is estimated that the next ally Yuan Shu will attack is Dongfang Sheng.

It can be said that Yuan Shu must also have the idea of ​​​​conquering Jingzhou and then attacking Yizhou. In the period of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes basically did not have much credibility to speak of.

Sun Quan can marry his younger sister to Liu Bei, and then plot Liu Bei's territory.

These are all commonplace things, including Sun Quan constantly swinging between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and occasionally scolding Cao Cao and tricking Liu Bei, but basically the three of them seldom turn their faces.

Dongfang Sheng quickly passed through Jingzhou as a merchant and returned to Yizhou.

At this time, Liu Biao was still in a stalemate with Zhao Yun and Zhang He. Zhao Yun and Zhang He cooperated very well. Zhao Yun was in charge of going out of the city to harass Liu Biao from time to time, while Zhang He was in charge of defending the city.

For half a month, Liu Biao stopped at this point and could not move forward.

During this period, Zhang Lu withdrew his troops, and even Sun Ce's tricks behind his back could not affect Liu Biao's determination.

"My lord, the situation is not good!" A general about 30 years old who was wearing chain armor and looked very ordinary said hurriedly into Liu Biao's military tent.

This person is Cai Mao, Liu Biao's brother-in-law.

Cai Hao is considered a complete villain in the novel, but in fact he is not considered a bad person, and of course he is not a good person. He just follows his interests, because he is the most powerful gentry in Jingzhou.

Cai's strength and influence in Jingzhou can definitely be called the uncrowned king.

It was with the help of the Cai family that Liu Biao put down the clan rebellion in Jingzhou.

One of Cai Mao's younger sisters married Liu Biao as his successor, and the other married Huang Chengyan of the Huang family in Jingzhou. Huang Chengyan was Huang Yueying's father and Zhuge Liang's father-in-law.

After this relationship is arranged, you will know the strength of the Cai family.

Even later, Liu Cong asked Zhuge Liang for advice. Speaking of which, Liu Biao in Jingzhou was Zhuge Liang's uncle, and Cai Mao was Zhuge Liang's uncle.

But later Zhuge Liang obviously chose Liu Bei, and it can be said that the relationship between this relative is also unreliable.

Seeing that it was Cai Mao, Liu Biao immediately put on a pleasant expression and asked, "Degui, what's the matter?"

"Yuan Gonglu sent troops to attack Jingzhou!" Cai Mao took a deep breath and said.

"Hey!" Liu Biao sighed when he heard Cai Mao's words. "Get ready to withdraw."

Seeing Liu Biao's actions, Cai Mao sighed in his heart: Why doesn't the lord seem to want to send troops to attack Yizhou?

This time sending troops to Yizhou was actually not Liu Biao's original intention, but the idea of ​​Cai Mao and Kuai Yue behind him. According to Liu Biao's idea, he was to guard his one-acre three-point land and grow himself as much as possible.

Of course, there is also the factor of Liu Biao's age, and Cai Mao, the local gentry with a surname in Jingzhou, of course wants to obtain as much land as possible, so that they can obtain more benefits.

And after Liu Biao's death, a large part of the turmoil in Jingzhou was caused by Cai Mao and his gentry. They planned to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. This was a prelude to the end of the Three Kingdoms.

As a result, this great Jingzhou was cheaper than Liu Biao's family, Liu Bei.

Of course, Liu Biao's two sons lost in this battle of succession. They lost Jingzhou, but Cai Hao didn't suffer much. After he took refuge in Cao Cao, he finally sealed a Hanyang Pavilion.

This is the difference between the noble family and others. They may fail, but they can live well after failure.

The power of the clan has not dissipated throughout the Chinese dynasties, because it is the foundation of all Chinese people. A family is the country, and there is a family to have a country.

In order to prevent Liu Biao from being chased by Zhao Yun and the others when retreating, Liu Biao didn't retreat quickly, and even put on an appearance that he could counterattack at any time, which made people afraid to chase him any more.

When Dongfang Sheng and Zhao Yun met, Liu Biao had already withdrawn from Yizhou.

Because Zhao Yun and the others had received Dongfang Sheng's instruction before, if Liu Biao retreated, he could not pursue him.

Therefore, even if Liu Biao retreated slowly, he could still confront Yuan Shu.

Dongfang Sheng believes that as long as Liu Biao returns to Jingzhou, Yuan Shu will definitely return in a big defeat.

Sure enough, a month later, Dongfang Sheng obtained the battle situation in Jingzhou from the scout battalion: Yuan Shu was defeated.

After a month of integration, Dongfang Sheng has a stronger grasp of the counties in Yizhou, except of course Hanzhong.

Yong Kai in Yizhou County has become a good model for the powerful gentry in various counties and counties, and those who dare not accept it will be directly uprooted.

At the beginning, Yizhou, which was already stable, was full of turmoil. All the powerful gentry were wondering whether Dongfang Sheng's butcher knife would fall on their heads, but after the Yong family was destroyed for a while, they found that Dongfang Sheng did not respond The other nobles moved.

Moreover, Yong Kai was not killed, but was imprisoned for corruption and life style problems.

Immediately afterwards, Fazheng and Zheng Du began to lobby those powerful nobles in various counties to work for Dongfang Sheng.

Who would dare to raise objections to the powerful and powerful gentry who have learned from the past?

After some rectification, the atmosphere in Yizhou has become positive.

Without Liu Zhang's riots, even the arrogant and powerful gentry obediently put their tails between their legs and stopped bullying men and women.

And all this is due to Dongfang Sheng, so in the eyes of the people in Yizhou, Dongfang Sheng is a benevolent state shepherd, and there are endless songs praising him.

At this time, in Chengdu County, Shu County, a new store called Dongfang Escort also quietly opened.

The location of this bodyguard agency is the best location in the government office area, and the pavement facing the street is very grandly decorated.

The most important thing is that during the opening period, there are not only various free performances to watch, but also some snacks are distributed. The streets were crowded with people who came to see the excitement for a while, so that they had to ask the patrols in the county to maintain order just work.
