Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 568 A doomed choice

  The next day, Fei Qian explained his idea to Huang Chengyan in general.

  Huang Chengyan also nodded while listening, a little moved, so he wanted to get up and go to the workshop to find some craftsmen to practice in detail, but he was stopped by Fei Qian.

Fei Qian does not intend to implement the whole idea here in Jingxiang. There are many things in his brain now, which can be said to be ahead of the entire Han Dynasty concept, so he will implement it in Jingxiang. Not a very good move.

After all, although Jingxiang was united under Liu Biao for a period of time, it also collapsed quickly after Liu Biao. At that time, Huang Chengyan's Huangjiayinyuan, such as his family's Wubao, will probably not have a big problem, but other craftsmen scattered in the Huang family may not be able to completely Save it, or it will be robbed and taken away by other forces...

   "My son-in-law... I'm going to go north in two days..." Fei Qian said, looking at Huang Chengyan's face.

"What? Are you going to leave now?" Huang Chengyan was taken aback, pondered for a while, and then said: "...Well, Bingzhou can't stay away for a long time after all..." Then Huang Chengyan seemed inexplicably sad, and dumped Flicking his sleeves, he left Fei Qian alone and walked to the back hall.

Ok?

  What's the matter with my father-in-law?

   Feiqian was a little confused. He originally planned to discuss with his father-in-law the specific selection of craftsmen to bring to Jingxiang. How can we talk about it now?

no way.

At the beginning, Fei Qian had not considered the land of Jingxiang, but the land of Jingxiang was indeed too complicated. Otherwise, while honoring the Pang, Cai, and Huang families, he would win over other gentry clans and reconcile and balance it. Can make a career, just like what Liu Biao did...

But there are also many hidden dangers. In the process of balancing the various gentry families, it will inevitably be involved too deeply, just like Liu Biao is relying on the Cai family to attack Jingnan. Although Jingnan will be taken down in the future, or Subdued, but when he turned around, he found that the Cai family's power had greatly expanded because of this, and then had to enter the time period to contain the Cai family.

After all, Bingzhou was crippled by the barbarians, and what was left was a blank piece of paper. Now as soon as the craftsmen from Jingxiang arrive, Cai Yong will attract the students of the Taixue. , You need weapons, you need resources, you need resources, you need prospects, and there are no strong enemies around, only Xianbei Hu people...

  Besides, the best thing is that there are barbarians on the side...

  There is really no other better site in the world now.

  So Fei Qian himself had to go back to Bingzhou no matter what.

   Huang Yueying on the side was also a little depressed, silently lowered her head, and twisted the corner of her clothes.

  This little yellow-haired girl...

  Fei Qian rubbed Huang Yueying's reddish-brown hair, and said, "Oh, it's all right, in a year or two at most, when Bingzhou settles down, I'll send someone to pick you up..."

  Huang Yueying lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "...I will...go with you this time..."

   "What?" Fei Qian didn't hear clearly.

  Huang Yueying was a little shy, stood up abruptly, and said, "...it's nothing, I...I...go to see my father first..." Then she left Fei Qian in the hall and ran to the back hall.

   Feiqian's eyes widened, he was a little dumbfounded, what did I do or say wrong, this old man left me here alone early in the morning, what is the situation?

  ××××××××××××××

  Xiangyang Government Office, inside the Liu Mansion, Liu Biao was warming some golden paste wine in the small pavilion in the courtyard, and had a drink or two.

Liu Biao has been proud of himself recently. After eliminating the threat of Sun Jian, and stimulated by such favorable news, Jingnan's attack is progressing very smoothly. Now Jinxuan of Wuling County has not yet made a clear statement, but this is all It's not a problem, the army is gathering now, if Jin Xuan doesn't know how to advance and retreat, he must be like Sun Jian...

   It can be said that until now, Liu Biao has really seen the hope of taking power over Jing Xiang.

It doesn't matter whether the prefects of Jingnan counties are really surrendering or pretending to surrender. Anyway, this problem is not too big. As long as you recognize Liu Biao as the governor of Jingzhou in name, then you can directly ask for the seal of the state in the next step. Mu, and then replace, adjust, and infiltrate these officials under his jurisdiction...

  Liu Biao picked up the wine jue in front of him, took a sip, and felt that the golden paste wine in this glass was so sweet that he felt a little floating...

   At this moment, a servant came to report that it was Cai Zhong, Captain Cai, who came to ask for an audience.

  The news brought by Cai Zhong completely ruined Liu Biao's good mood. Huang Zu, who was staying behind in Deng County, was captured by Cheng Pu!

It turned out that after Sun Jian and Han Dang died, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai waited a day for no news, and felt that something was wrong. When the sky cleared the next day, they sent out scouts from all over the world to search in detail, and finally they were in the valley. After finding the traces of the battle, they immediately sent a spy to Xiangyang, and finally confirmed the news that Sun Jian and Han Dang were dead.

The main general died, no matter how hard the battle was fought, they would lose. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were ready to retreat, but they were afraid that Huang Zu in Deng County would take the opportunity to cover up and kill them, so they set up an ambush and deliberately revealed the news Give it to Huang Zu and lure him to take the bait.

  Although Huang Zu was brave, he was also a little impulsive. He might also want to use this to save his face from being defeated by Sun Jian. Therefore, after confirming that Sun Jian was dead, he boldly pursued Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. As a result...

   was caught and taken prisoner.

   Now Cheng Pu sent someone to send a message requesting that Huang Zu be exchanged for the corpses of Sun Jian and Han Dang...

Liu Biao frowned, stroked his beard, and thought to himself, he claimed to have led the army for many years, and he was powerful in Jiangxia, but he couldn't even compare to a young generation. He was defeated by Deng County first, and now even everyone has been captured. ,Hi!

   Quite speechless.

   "Lieutenant Cai, in your opinion, should we change or not?" Liu Biao asked casually.

  Cai Zhong bowed his hands and said respectfully: "This matter is entirely up to the master, and he is humble and dull, so how can he talk about it."

  Seeing that Cai Zhong was cautious and didn't say anything, Liu Biao rolled his eyes, expressing that he knew, and then said: "This matter is of great importance, first settle down with someone to live in, and make a decision after tomorrow's discussion."

  Cai Zhong took the order to retreat.

  Liu Biao walked a few steps inside the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

  Actually, the ones handling political affairs in Jingxiang are the Kuai brothers, but Liu Biao can even speculate that there must be a lot of reasons for the Kuai brothers not to change...

   Not to change people is actually not a paradoxical reason like the Kuai brothers, but most of them want to use this opportunity to stab a thorn between Liu Biao and Huang.

However, it is still necessary to go through the motions. Liu Biao has actually made up his mind in his heart, and he must change. The thoughts of other generals of Jingxiang—the front foot has just worked hard for themselves, but the back foot was abandoned by themselves?

  Tomorrow's discussion, Liu Biao doesn't really want to discuss whether to change Huang Zu, he just wants to reconfirm the position of the Kuai brothers...

  If they can’t be of one mind, then the Kuai brothers will have to stand aside in the future...

   Before Jiang Wei passed Zhuge Liang's big tent, he saw that the lights were still on.

   "Prime Minister, go to bed earlier."

   Contrary to Jiang Wei's expectation, Zhuge Liang was not reading and writing at his desk, but was wiping a sword.

   "Well, Boyue should come back early."

   Zhuge Liang agreed lightly, his voice was soft, but he never looked at Jiang Wei.

   Zhuge gently brushed with his fingertips...

   By the light of the oil lamp, Jiang Wei vaguely saw two words engraved on the sword: Zhang Wu.
