Vol 10 Chapter 246: Refuting the recent **** from the DPRK (middle)
Popular recommendation:
Cai Mao came to Xu County from Xiangyang after all the hardships and hardships. Not only was he responsible for meeting Liu Xie for Liu Biao, but also after seeing Xun Zhen, he asked Xun Zhen if he had plans to conquer Yuan Shu, and put Sun Ce who he learned about with him. Zhang Xian conspired and wanted to share the task of telling Xun Zhen about the matter in Jingzhou. At the same time, he also shouldered the task of paying tribute to Liu Biao's officials and ministers in the DPRK and Liu Biao's former friends in the DPRK.
Liu Biao was a member of the Han clan, and he was one of the Eight Juns. Earlier, he had been an official in the court for many years. He knew a lot of old friends in the court. In fact, not only Liu Biao and Cai Mao are from the proud clan, they lived in Luoyang for a long time when they were young, and they are old friends with Cao Cao and others. He, after all, although the Xun family has a clear name, it is not a family of nobles, and Xun Zhen is not a direct descendant of the Xun family. , Xun Zhen's old knowledge in the court is full of counts, and there are only a few, which can't be compared with Cai Mao.
But after seeing Liu Xie, Cai Mao brought the gifts from Xun Zhen's wife and concubines to Xun Zhen himself. After more than ten days, he visited Yang Biao and other high-ranking officials and Liu Biao's old friends with him. He was really busy. Keep your feet off the ground.
As for those in the court who live in Jingzhou or have relatives and old friends now in Xiangyang, Cai Mao is also one of them, and visits them all.

After being busy for more than half a month, all the people who should be seen have seen it before Cai Minnai is ready to return to Xiangyang.
Before returning, he met Xun Zhen again, and mentioned Sun Ce and Zhang Xian to Xun Zhen again.
Xun Zhen still had an attitude of complete disbelief, but she also made a promise to him that such a thing would never happen.
Cai Mao also mentioned the crusade against Yuan Shu again. Xun Zhen knew that he wanted to give him a clear answer, so he fulfilled his hope and made it clear that he would only wait for Liu He, Yan Rou and Xian Yufu. After either personally or by sending envoys to Xuxian, I met with him and made sure that Liu He and others would act as a restraint on Yuan Shao for Xun Zhen, and then wait for the troops and horses to rest and start to crusade against Yuan Shu. Xun Zhen stroked his short mustache, smiled and said to him, "After the spring of next year, Master Wang will definitely enter Nanyang."
Cai Mao was overjoyed and said respectfully, "Then Mao will dare to report this answer to Liu Jingzhou."
"You tell Liu Jingzhou that he can make preparations when he thinks it is appropriate. Before sending troops, I will pass on a message to him."
Cai Mao complied with his promise and did not stay any longer, so he respectfully resigned.
Just like sending Chen Deng away, although Xun Zhen was very busy, she still found time to personally send Cai Mao a few miles away, only to turn back.
...
All the way south, when they approached the border between Yingchuan and Nanyang, Cai Mao and his party changed into merchants' clothes, still pretending to be a caravan. Passing through Kunyang, leaving Yingchuan, entering the border of Nanyang County, all the way without incident, traveling 300 miles up and down, out of the border of Nanyang County, to Nanjun.
Entering Nanjun, the first county is Xiangyang.
It took about ten days to return to Xiangyang from Xu County.
The journey was turbulent and exhausting, but Cai Mao did not go home to rest, so he came to see Liu Biao directly.
When Liu Biao heard of his return, he immediately summoned him.
The two met in the hall, and Cai Mao bowed down and saluted.
Liu Biao sat on the chair, waved Yu Ruyi lightly, and said with a smile, "De Gui, you don't need to be too polite." He asked him to take his seat, and ordered the servants to bring towels and tea.
Cai Mao took the towel, wiped his hands, wiped his face, picked up the tea soup, and drank two bowls to quench his thirst.
Liu Biao did not rush and waited patiently. When he put down the tea bowl, he asked, "De Gui, have you seen the emperor?"
Cai Mao replied: "In response to Duke Ming's words, Mao went to the palace to meet the emperor on the second day of his arrival in Xu County."
Liu Biao put Yu Ruyi down, leaned over slightly, and asked with concern, "The Son of Heaven has just moved to Xu, but he doesn't know if he can adapt?"
Cai Mao replied: "Duke Ming, Xu County is in the grass, and the guards of honor and the palace are incomparable.
After he got the old capital, he heard that Yuyin, the son of the emperor, was full of anger, and he felt no discomfort if he wanted to come. "
Liu Biao nodded slightly, and asked again, "Can the ministers and ministers of the court adapt?"
Cai Mao replied: "Back to Duke Ming, most of the ministers and ministers whom Mao has visited have settled down." After speaking, he took out a stack of letters from his bosom, got up, and presented it to Liu Biao, saying, "Ming Ming Gong, this is a letter from Gongzhi to Duke Ming."
However, what Liu Biao asked and what Cai Mao answered, on the surface, it seemed that Liu Biao was asking Liu Xie and the ministers in the court whether they could adapt to the water and soil of Xu County, but in fact, what Liu Biao asked was that it was Liu Xie and the court. The question of the attitude of the ministers and ministers in the middle to Xu County was asking Cai Mao, whether Liu Xie and the ministers in the court moved to Xu County actively or passively? Are they dissatisfied with the move to Xu? Cai Mao knew what Liu Biao was asking, and his answer was not just to say that both Liu Xie and the ministers in the court had settled down, or that they were in a good mood. Minister Gongqing did not object to moving the capital to Xuxian County, and they were all staying there well. Indirectly, they were telling Liu Biao that although Xun Zhen was only worshipped by the court as a general of chariots and cavalry, and as a recorder of books, his foundation was still shallow. At least for now, his position in the court is fairly stable.
The waiter who forwarded the letter respectfully put the letter on the case. Liu Biao didn't read it immediately. He stroked his thick black beard and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he asked Cai Mao again, saying, "When will you? The cavalry general who is in attendance?"
Cai Mao replied: "It was already night when Mao arrived in Xuxian, so he couldn't ask to see the saint, so it was convenient for him to see the carriage first that night."
Liu Biao said, "How about riding a bike?"
Cai Mao replied: "Compared to a few years ago, when Mao and the chariot first met, the hero's posture is more and more superior."
Liu Biao was silent for a while, then took Yu Ruyi in his hands again, and then went down and asked, "Zhang Xian and Sun Ce are secretly colluding to plan for Jingzhou, how did Che Qi reply to you?"
Cai Mao replied: "Looking at the look of the charioteer, he should not know about this matter, but it was just a conspiracy between Sun Ce and Zhang Xian. Before returning from Xu County, Mao went to see the charioteer again, and the charioteer faced him in person. Mao promised that he would not let such a thing happen."
Hearing Cai Mao's definite judgment, Liu Biao felt a little relieved. If it wasn't Xun Zhen's instructions, but Sun Ce and Zhang Xian's conspiracy, then as long as Xun Zhen didn't help Sun Ce, Liu Biao could I'm really not afraid, of course, if there is Xun Zhen's instructions behind this matter, it will be different.
After asking about other things, Liu Biao asked the question that he cared most about. He asked Cai Mao, and said, "When will the imperial court attack Yuan Shu, do you have a plan for chariots and horses?"
Cai Mao then told Liu Biao truthfully about Xun Zhen's answer.
"In this way, he only needs to wait for the chariots to solve Yuan Benchu's hidden worries first, and then wait for his main troops and horses to rest, and then he will be able to crusade against Yuan Shu."
Cai Mao said, "That's right. The chariot ordering Mao told Duke Ming that after next spring at the latest, Master Wang will be able to attack Yuan Shu!"
After fighting with Yuan Shu for so many years, Liu Biao had already had enough. It is now the end of June, and there will only be six or seven months left until the spring of next year. A few months later, after a major war, Yuan Shu, the enemy, will be wiped out, and the entire Jingzhou will truly become his territory. —— Liu Biao was certain that after joining forces with Xun Zhen, he would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shu. Liu Biao's spirit was refreshed, but he still had some thoughts. He rubbed Yu Ruyi, asked Cai Mao, and said, "The crusade against Yuan Shu is very important, and it is not enough to only allow one person to ride a chariot. Degui, based on your experience in Xu County, What do the princes in the DPRK mean? After the spring of next year, will the chariots be able to attack Yuan Shu?"
Cai Mao said: "Following the order of Duke Ming, in Xu County, apart from seeing the emperor and seeing chariots and horses, the ministers also paid respects to the officials and ministers in the court. During the talks, most of the princes hated Yuan Shu deeply. If the chariots propose to the DPRK to attack Yuan Shu, then the DPRK will definitely be able to pass the chariots. In my opinion, after the spring of next year, the chariots should attack Yuan Shu.
It can be done. "
Liu Biao weighed Yu Ruyi, patted his thigh lightly, and said, "Good! Good!"
Cai Mao said: "Duke Ming, the court sent an envoy to Xiangyang with me to pass the decree to Duke Ming. The envoy has been arranged by me to live in the guest house. I don't know when Duke Ming plans to summon him?"
Liu Biao said, "You will only return to Xiangyang today. The horses and horses are exhausted. Let's rest first, and see you tomorrow."
Cai Mao agreed.
The next day, Liu Biao summoned the envoy.
This envoy was none other than Huangfu Li.
Huangfu Li read Liu Xie's decree to Liu Biao.
The decree consists of two parts. The first part commends Liu Biao for his loyalty, and the latter part rewards Liu Biao with the title of Imperial Servant, as well as the appointment of Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Cai Mao, etc.
Liu Biao respectfully accepted the order and thanked him.
Huangfu Li only stayed in Xiangyang for two days before returning to Xu County.
...
The reason why Liu Xie asked Huangfu Li to deliver the decree to Liu Biao was because of Xun Zhen's suggestion, and the reason why Xun Zhen suggested that Liu Xie entrust Huangfu Li to take up the post was because he saw Huangfu Li's alertness and bravery. In addition to Yu Chuanzhi, Xun Zhen privately gave him a task, which was to ask him to investigate the specific situation under Yuan Shu in Nanyang County when he was on the way back and forth.
So on the way back, Huangfu Li chose a different path from when he came.
I made careful observations along the way, and there were no surprises. After more than ten days, I returned to Xu County.
When he arrived at Xu County, Huangfu Li reported to Xunzhen what he saw on the road, saying: "Ming Gong, Cai Degui's report to Ming Gong is not false, Yuan Gonggong is indeed full of grievances from the people in Nanyang, and the discipline of his troops, horses and military is corrupted, only waiting for When the time is right, we will discuss it in the future, and it will be easy to overcome."
When Huangfu Li came just now, Xun Zhen's chief clerk, Chen Yi, was in the hall.
The two were originally talking about something, but because of Huangfu Li's arrival, they stopped the topic for the time being.
Huangfu Li reported to Xunzhen what he had seen and heard, turned to look at Chen Yi, saw that he was holding the scroll in his hand, and asked Xunzhen, "Ming Gong, have I disturbed the official affairs of Ming Gong? "
Xun Zhen motioned for Chen Yi to come forward~www.wuxiaspot.com~Chen Yi came forward and presented the document in her hand to Xun Zhen.
Xun Zhen took it over, smiled and said to Huangfu Li, "I'm going to go to the imperial court tomorrow and officially request to settle the fields in Xu County. This is the manifesto written on my behalf by the clerk. Come, Zimei, you can help me advise, see. Let's see if this table is written in the master book."
Huangfu Li said, "Is Duke Ming ready to start the policy of cultivating fields?"
Xun Zhen said: "It's better to settle the fields sooner rather than later! If this year's autumn harvest can start, and the winter wheat can catch up, then next year's fall will be able to harvest. Maybe, it will be able to catch up with next year's crusade against Yuan Shu, which can be relieved. Some of the grain consumption caused by the transfer."
Although it is talking about the use of troops in Nanyang after the spring of next year, on the one hand, it will definitely not be used in the first month. No one can guarantee that the battle against Yuan Shu will be won quickly. If it is delayed and fought for half a year, by that time, the farmland in Xu County will have harvested, and it will be able to come in handy. In three or two months, when the troops and horses triumphed from Nanyang, the fields were almost mature and could come in handy. Therefore, Xun Zhen plans to start the field work within this year.
Huangfu Li approached, waited for Xun Zhen to open the table written by Chen Yi, looked at it closely, and said to Xun Zhen, "The master book is so talented, Li can't keep up with it."
Xun Zhen was also very satisfied. After all, Chen Yi had been with him for a long time and was very familiar with his phrasing preferences, so the texts he wrote could naturally sum up what Xun Zhen meant.
The next day, Xun Zhen put this list on the court.
Liu Xie discussed it with the court officials, but one of them wrote a letter against it.
