In the evening, three guests came to Huang Chengyan's home.

The older one is Pang Degong.

The medium stature is Kuailiang.

The last one is Cai Mao.

If anyone sees it, they will definitely exclaim.

Which of these three people is a figure calling for wind and rain in Jingzhou, so to speak, the affairs of Jingzhou are up to them.

Now all three of them are at Huang Chengyan's house.

"Mr. Shang Chang, Zirou, Huang Chengyan has been waiting here for a long time."

Huang Chengyan said with his fists clenched.

He is related to Cai Mao and Cai Mao's brother-in-law, so Cai Mao's name was not mentioned.

Hehe!

Pang Degong smiled and said, "After a few years, Brother Chengyan is still so energetic, which is really gratifying." ”

Don't dare, don't dare

Huang Chengyan hurriedly confessed and led the three of them in.

In fact, there is not much difference in age between him and Cai Mao Kuailiang, and they have always been peers. However, Pang Degong has grown up a generation and has always been on the same level as Cai Mao's father and Kuai Liang's father.

The reason why Pang Degong called Huang Chengyan his brother was also from Mr. Shui Jing, because Pang Degong's nephew Pang Tong was a student of Sima Hui and was a senior brother with Kong Ming, and Kong Ming was Huang Chengyan's son-in-law, and there was nothing wrong with the two sides being equals.

But here Kuai Liang and Cai Mao are a generation shorter, and the two immediately met Pang Degong as a junior.

That's it!

Pang Degong waved his hand and said helplessly: "Where are there so many clichés?" ”

Although he is famous, he has always been outside, and what he dislikes the most is these secular etiquette.

The four of them entered the room and sat down as the guest of honor.

Less poured, two maidservants brought wine and food boxes.

Huang Chengyan is a member of the Huang family, and the Huang family is also a wealthy family, and the utensils in the home are also very particular.

"This is the Yunzhou wine sent by Liu Jingzhou, Cheng Yan didn't dare to enjoy it alone, now please drink it together."

Huang Chengyan raised his glass and said.

It smells so good!

Pang Degong sniffed the aroma and couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he was floating away, he still couldn't forget his feelings, and now he smelled the aroma of fine wine, and he was a little overjoyed at the moment.

Wine!

Pang Degong put down the wine glass and said movingly: "The old man has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time he has drunk such a good wine. Yunzhou? Is that Guo Jia's place? ”

Not bad!

Kuai Liang on the side explained: "I heard that this is a fine wine made by Guo Jia himself. Now it has been sold to the whole country. In the near future, Jingzhou will have a large supply. ”

Ok, good, good!

Pang Degong narrowed his eyes and just said.

I don't know whether to praise people or things.

In fact, Huang Chengyan also had a useful intention in taking out Yunzhou wine, but Pang Degong didn't seem to want to mention this topic.

He had to do it another way.

"Mr. Shang Chang, have you heard any rumors lately?"

Wind?

Pang Degong smiled: "Deaf and dazzling, where is there any rumor?" ”

He also knew what Huang Chengyan invited them to do, but since Huang Chengyan didn't bring it up himself, he didn't bother to expose it.

This old fellow!

Huang Chengyan was angry and funny.

This time, the people of the four families were invited to come up with an idea.

Obviously, this Pang Degong knows his purpose, but he wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb, which is really unreasonable.

He immediately gave Kuai Liang a color.

"Mr. Shang Chang, that's the ......"

Kuai Liang hurriedly told him about the alliance between Yunzhou and Jingzhou, especially the nervousness and hostility of the surrounding princes towards this matter.

Is it a good thing to form an alliance?

Pang Degong patted his thigh and said: "Yunzhou is a big guy, if you form an alliance with him, no one will dare to bully Jingzhou." You say don't you? ”

Yes, yes, yes!

Huang Chengyan nodded, but he was a little disapproving.

Although this old guy pretended to be crazy and stupid, they still didn't dare to underestimate it, after all, this person was the face of the Pang family.

If he can be convinced, the affairs of the four alliances will be successful.

"Mr. Shang Chang, you can't say that."

Kuai Liang said respectfully: "There are advantages to forming an alliance with Yunzhou, but there are more disadvantages. Jingzhou was originally neutral, and if it was tied to Yunzhou, it would inevitably be hostile to the surrounding princes. What's more, it will cause war in Jingzhou. Therefore, we think that it is better to keep the status quo if we can't form an alliance. ”

He was getting impatient.

If you have something to say, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here.

Anyway, the Kuai family disagrees with this matter.

The Kuai family disagrees!

Pang Degong turned to Huang Chengyan: "What about your Huang family?" ”

The current head of the Huang family is Huang Zu, and now Huang Zu is in front of Sun Jian in Jiangxia, so naturally he can't come back at this time, so only Huang Chengyan can come forward.

"Huang Chengyan is just an idle cloud and wild crane, and the affairs of the Huang family can't be interjected. However, the head of the family specially wrote to Seihiko to oppose the alliance. ”

Huang Chengyan said lightly.

For their own interests, the Huang family also did not agree to form an alliance.

Maintaining the status quo is more beneficial to the Huang family.

Kindness!

Pang Degong was not deaf this time, and said to himself at the moment: "The Kuai family, the Huang family disagrees, Xiao Desi, what do you say?" ”

Pang Degong and Cai Mao's father Cai Feng are the same era, Cai Feng still has to call Pang Degong a brother, and there is nothing wrong with calling Cai Mao a little Desi.

Mr. Shang Chang!

Cai Mao hurriedly stood up and said guiltily: "Cai was confused for a while and failed to see the essence of the problem clearly. Fortunately, my brother-in-law's reminder only then understood. Mr. Shang Chang is the reputation of the four families, what you say, the juniors will do it. ”

Hahahaha!

Hearing Cai Mao say this, Pang Degong suddenly laughed.

Alright, alright!

He waved his hand and said, "Don't put a high hat on the old man." If you have any ideas, just let me know in advance. is still the same sentence, the four families work together to protect Jingzhou. ”

Seeing that Pang Degong was no longer pretending to be crazy and stupid, Huang Chengyan and Kuai Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shang Chang!"

Kuai Liang first clenched his fists and said: "If we form an alliance with Yunzhou and let Yunzhou reach into Jingzhou, the interests of the four of us will inevitably be damaged." For the sake of the interests of the four families and the stability of Jingzhou, Yunzhou must not be allowed to put his hand in. ”

Jingzhou is theirs, and no one can reach out.

As it should be!

Pang Degong nodded.

This is the case these days, all interests come first, whether it is the imperial court or the warlords, whoever can keep the four major families prosperous and rich, they will help.

No matter who comes, they can't replace the control of Jingzhou by the four major families.

This is the foundation of the four.

"There's something the old man wants to ask you?"

Pang Degong said slowly: "What do you think Guo Jia's main purpose in reaching into Jingzhou is?" ”

This one......

Cai Mao groaned for a moment and said, "It should be to resist Cao Cao's expansion in Henan and Jiangbei!" ”

Hehe!

Hearing Cai Mao say this, Pang Degong suddenly laughed.

"Boy, I asked you to read more books, but you just wouldn't. But if you have half the shrewdness of your old man, you will not answer such a stupid question. ”
