Xiangyang Shepherd's Mansion.

"Brother-in-law, after this village, there will be no such shop. What are you waiting for? Don't hurry up and settle the affairs of the alliance yet! ”

Cai Mao said bitterly.

As Guo Jia's brother-in-law, he naturally wants to contribute to Yunzhou, and once the two alliances are promoted, Guo Jia will naturally not treat him badly.

Of course, this is also Cai Mao's wishful thinking.

It was precisely this wishful thinking that Cai Mao did not hesitate to stand on the side of Yunzhou, and even mobilized her sister to cheer on the side.

"Husband, little brother, what he said is right. The general is the overlord of the north, and our Jingzhou is also the overlord of the south. The alliance between the two sides is strong, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages for Jingzhou! ”

Cai also persuaded.

Under normal circumstances, Cai's family doesn't pay much attention to political affairs, but Cai Mao only told this sister about her relationship with Cai Yong, and this sister did not hesitate to stand on her brother's side.

According to Cai Mao, Guo Jia is also their relative.

Both sides are relatives, so naturally it is easy to talk.

No matter who wins, their Cai family will not suffer.

Therefore, Cai also stood on the position of Yunzhou to persuade Liu Biao.

But......

Liu Biao hesitated: "Jingzhou's strength is not comparable to Yunzhou, what if Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian come over because of the alliance?" These three are not dealing with Guo Jia. If we stand on the side of Yunzhou, won't it arouse their hatred? ”

Then he stood up and said coldly: "The reason why Guo Jia is looking for us to form an alliance is also to ask us to help him block mines." ”

His concerns were not unfounded.

Guo Jia's actions were too extreme, and there were many princes who offended, but everyone didn't dare to look at Yunzhou in view of Yunzhou's strong strength. But Jingzhou is not as easy to talk as Yunzhou, they can't beat Yunzhou, it doesn't mean that they can't beat Jingzhou.

O my brother-in-law!

Cai Mao said bitterly: "Even if you don't form an alliance, these jackals will let Jingzhou go?" Besides, Guo Jia took the initiative to come to the door, that is, there is a place to borrow from Jingzhou. If Jingzhou has no use value, why do people have to come all the way here? ”

This......

Liu Biao hesitated a little again.

It seems that what Cai Mao said also makes sense.

Yunzhou is strong, Guo Jiaxiong dominates the north, how can he have seen the princes of the world?

He was able to take the initiative to throw an olive branch, which also took a fancy to Jingzhou's strength.

It's not nice to say, if he Liu Biao doesn't even have the value of being used, Guo Jia won't bother to take care of him.

"What if Guo Jia unifies the north and continues to go south, what if we have the idea of Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao still has a layer of worry.

If Guo Jia is let in, his subordinates will become the mouthpiece of Yunzhou at that time, then he will not be sad.

"Distant friendship and close attack, this is a more ancient truth."

Cai Mao explained: "At this stage, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu are the main targets of the generals, and if they are not solved, he will not have the idea of Jingzhou." After forming an alliance, we can't sit still, Liu Zhang in Xichuan, Sun Jian in Jiangdong, and Zhang Jin in Jiaozhou are all targets we can attack. ”

This......

Liu Biao was still a little hesitant.

He wasn't a progressive person, so he wasn't much interested in expanding his territory.

Husband!

Cai hurriedly said: "Even if you don't want to, you have to think about it for the children." Liu Cong is so old, he always has to inherit the position of shepherd. ”

A woman has a woman's mind.

Liu Qi and Liu Cong are both Liu Biao's sons, but Cai's preference is more for Liu Cong, because Liu Cong's wife is her niece, and she can be regarded as her own family.

My sister's words make sense!

Cai Mao also hit the railway while it was hot: "Brother-in-law should also leave a thought for the child!" ”

Liu Biao seemed to have moved a little, and at this moment, someone outside suddenly came to report.

"General, Huang Chengyan is visiting!"

Huang Chengyan is Liu Biao's brother-in-law and a celebrity in Xiangyang, and when he heard that Huang Chengyan was coming, Liu Biao had a smile on his face.

"Hurry up, please!"

He turned his head to look at Cai Mao and said, "You can take your wife to avoid it first." ”

Cai Mao didn't come for business this time, so it was a little inappropriate here.

Cultural people pay attention to many.

Be!

Cai Mao hugged her fists helplessly and left with her sister.

Less leaning, Huang Chengyan Shi Shiran walked in.

"Grass farmer Huang Chengyan visits Lord Shepherd."

Hehe!

Liu Biao immediately stood up and personally took his hand.

"Are you kidding me, old fellow?"

Huang Chengyan is a celebrity, Liu Biao is also a celebrity, celebrities know celebrities, and the relationship between the two is very close.

"Why does Chengyan have time to come to me?"

After the two sat down as the guest of honor, Liu Biao asked puzzled.

Although Huang Chengyan is a celebrity, he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and is unwilling to be an official.

Liu Biao invited him a few times, but he was not moved at all.

"I heard that the general has encountered a problem, and Cheng Yan has come to solve the puzzle."

Huang Chengyan hugged his fists.

Alas!

Hearing Huang Chengyan say this, Liu Biao couldn't help but sigh.

He was really embarrassed.

The matter of an alliance actually caused chaos in the entire Jingzhou.

What especially made him wary was that the Cai family actually supported the alliance, and Cai Mao instigated her sister to come forward.

This made Liu Biao a little uneasy.

What is the purpose of the Cai family's eagerness to persuade him to form an alliance?

Liu Biao is also in a dilemma.

Don't form an alliance, I'm afraid that Jingzhou will fall under siege in the future. Let's form an alliance, I am afraid that Guo Jia will put his hand into Jingzhou in the future.

"What did Seihiko teach me?"

Liu Biao asked puzzled.

Now that Huang Chengyan is here, there must be some countermeasures.

Checkmate!

Huang Chengyan twisted his beard and said: "It's not difficult to say that this matter is not difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy. ”

He slowly stood up and took a few steps.

"Although Yunzhou is strong and strong, it is surrounded by enemies. Although our Jingzhou is not as good as Yunzhou, there are few wars in the surrounding areas. It is clear which is better and which is inferior, and who needs whom more. ”

You mean against the alliance?

Liu Biao asked movingly.

Nor is it against it!

Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "After all, Yunzhou is the overlord of the north, and it is not good to offend him." The general could have given him a procrastination, neither agreeing nor objecting. In this way, even if Yunzhou is dissatisfied, he will not blame Dao Jingzhou's head. In addition, the interior of Jingzhou can be preserved. Why not? ”

This......

Liu Biao pondered for a while, Tao is a way.

It's a pity that the drag is not just pretending to be sick and waiting, at least come up with a perfect reason to be reasonable.

Huang Chengyan suddenly said: "General, Jingzhou is based on loyalty and righteousness, you can take this matter to the court and ask the court for approval." ”

Coup!

Hearing Huang Chengyan say this, Liu Biao patted his thigh and smiled.

The emperor was in Cao Cao's hands, how could he sit back and watch Yunzhou reach into Jingzhou, he had to find a reason to stop it.

It is equivalent to handing over this offending matter to Cao Cao.
