Chapter 126

Zhang Xiu and Huang Chengyan enter the hall together. He has no fear of Liu Biao. In his eyes, Liu Biao is a paper tiger. He looks majestic and powerful, but in fact he is a sick cat.

Into the hall, there is a warm head-on hit.

In the hall, there is a brazier for heating.

Inside and outside the hall, there are two extreme worlds, one is warm and comfortable, the other is cold and piercing.

Huang Chengyan and Zhang Xiu took off their cloaks and sat down on the table. As for Huang Yueying and her mother, they did not attend. Instead, under the guidance of the attendants, they went to the back yard to find CAI.

Zhang Xiu looks at Liu Biao in the main position. At this time, Liu Biao is also looking at him.

Zhang Xiu responded with a light smile, with a relaxed look.

Liu Biao stroked his beard under his jaw and said on his own initiative: "it's a family dinner tonight. Besides you, there will be another one later."

Zhang Xiu asked, "who is it?"

He took the message on purpose and stepped down for Liu Biao. After receiving the news from Cai Mao, Zhang Xiu knows that Liu Biao intends to resolve the conflict, so she won't speak any more.

At this time, it is good for both sides to maintain a temporary peace by giving Liu a step down.

Zhang Xiu needs such a transition.

Liu Biao saw that Zhang Xiu took the initiative to answer, and he was also relieved.

What worries him most is Zhang Xiu's defiance.

The most common fault of young people is that they are rebellious, self righteous and arrogant. In particular, after Zhang Xiu established herself in Nanyang County, she killed Gong Du and Liu PI, destroyed the Deng family, successively won the victory, and killed two thousand Huns, which won numerous praises.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Xiu easily developed the character of "heaven, earth and air". She easily thought that Lao Tzu was invincible and the best in the world. She ignored everyone.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu did not.

Liu Biao's tone was soft, and he said slowly, "the man who came here is Cai Mao. In fact, he is your uncle. You are going to marry Yueying, and Cai Mao is also a family

Zhang Xiu suddenly came across.

He didn't know much about family dinner before.

Now when I hear Liu Biao's words, I can understand them completely with a little thought. Liu Biao, Cai Mao and Huang Chengyan are close relatives.

Liu Biao called Cai Mao, but also to turn the war into jade.

When I was in Xiuyang County, my uncle and I were together. Well, he's very nice. "

Liu's face was stiff.

He thought that Zhang Xiu captured Cai Mao because Cai Mao was hostile to Zhang Xiu, and the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Cai Mao must be very general. Under such a premise, he proposed that Cai Mao was Zhang Xiu's uncle, and Zhang Xiu would be embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu said that Cai Mao was very good.

This left Liu Biao speechless.

It seems to be praise, but the words are neither humble nor overbearing, and there is a hint of irony.

He is very difficult to answer.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.

Then Cai Mao entered.

He took off his cloak and gave it to the attendant. He rubbed his cold hands and strode into the hall to salute Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao. Because it was said in advance that it was a family dinner, and among the people, Huang Chengyan was the biggest. He married the eldest daughter of the Cai family.

Therefore, Cai Mao saluted Huang Chengyan.

When Cai Mao sat down and looked at Zhang Xiu, he had a complicated look in his eyes, and immediately he had a smile on his rough face. Now that he has decided, he has no hesitation.

Cai Mao knows how to face Zhang Xiu.

Liu Biao doesn't know what Cai Mao thinks. He still thinks that Cai Mao is definitely hostile to Zhang Xiu.

Therefore, Liu Biao came to be a peacemaker.

With high spirits, he took the initiative to say: "De Li, Zhang Xiu is going to marry Yue Ying. When it comes to relationships, that's your nephew. He's family with us. "

"He is your junior."

"Although once, no matter you, or me, and Zhang Xiu had some bumps. But now that we have become a family, the past gratitude and resentment will be regarded as smoke and dispersed with the wind. "

"In the future, we will be a family. We should work together and cooperate sincerely."

Liu Biao, with a sincere expression, said: "De Li, it's from my heart. What do you think?"

Cai Mao said, "my elder brother is right."

He had a decision in his mind.

So, I took advantage of the situation.

Liu Biao's eyes turned to Zhang Xiu and continued: "Zhang Xiu, what do you think?"

Huang Chengyan said: "elder brother, just call Zhang Xiu's character" Jiang Ping. ". After all, it's a family. There's no need to be so unfamiliar. "

Both Huang Chengyan and Cai Mao call Liu Biao "big brother.".

After all, Liu Biao is the oldest.

Liu Biao nodded, his eyes still fell on Zhang Xiu. At the moment, he is actually testing Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Xiu is willing to put aside the contradiction with CAI Mao, it will be easy for Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu to form an alliance.

If the contradiction between Zhang Xiu and Cai Mao is still not willing to let go, it will not be easy for Liu Biao to form an alliance with Zhang Xiu, and even Zhang Xiu will covet Jingzhou.Zhang Xiu smiles in her heart.

Liu Biao couldn't hide his thoughts from him.

Zhang xiudao said: "my uncle has a point. After all, he is a family. As the saying goes, "a family doesn't talk about two families. The past is the past. There's no need to talk about it."

An uncle, Liu biaoxi smiles.

Liu Biao was very satisfied, nodded: "Jiang Ping said well, I am very pleased."

"Now that I'm a family, I don't want to hide my words, I'll just say them. I'm very glad that you are the governor of Nanyang County. After all, I can rest assured that my family is in charge of Nanyang County. "

"You can settle down in Nanyang County. I will never interfere."

Liu Biao assured: "even if it's where I can help you, just open your mouth."

Zhang Xiu understands that this is Liu Biao's backing.

It's attitude.

This is not willing to be his enemy.

Zhang Xiu also wanted to stabilize Liu Biao and said: "what my uncle said is reasonable. As the prefect of Nanyang County, I will abide by the law and discipline, and there will be no transgression. But I do have something here that I need my uncle's help? "

Liu Biao's expression suddenly froze.

He looked a little uncomfortable.

He and Zhang Xiu to resolve the conflict, although to make an alliance, but in fact, just talk about to help Zhang Xiu. Liu Biao didn't want to let him help Zhang Xiu with money and food.

After all, Zhang Xiu may go south.

But Zhang Xiu said it.

It's embarrassing.

Liu Biao responded quickly and asked, "if you have any problems, just say it. As long as I can help you, I will try my best to help you. If I can't help you, I will try my best to find someone to solve it for you. "

The words are beautiful, but they leave Liu Biao a way out.

There is nothing he can do.

Shirking won't help.

Zhang Xiu gently a smile, the right color way: "uncle, the thing is like this. In the successive wars last year, Yuyang County consumed a lot of grain. The number of troops under my command has increased and there are some difficulties in food supply. "

"Of course, there is some grain stored last year. If there is no big action in the coming year, there will be enough."

"It's just that I've made plans. After the Spring Festival, I'm ready to send troops to the north and go back to Guanzhong. Because there will be war again, the grain stored is not enough, so I hope my uncle can borrow some for the time being. "

"After the autumn harvest, I'll return it to my uncle."

Zhang Xiu talked with great eloquence and put forward the requirements.

He revealed that the plan was to stabilize Liu Biao and let him know that he had no idea about Jingzhou. Under such a premise, Liu Biao will not be hostile to him, will not hinder him, and will even help him.

After listening to Liu Biao, his face was also full of smiles.

Zhang Xiu, how are you going to Guanzhong!

When Zhang Xiu goes to Guanzhong, he can take back Nanyang County.

This is an opportunity!

Moreover, if Zhang Xiu wants to go to Guanzhong, he will not covet Jingzhou any more, and he has no problem in subsidizing Zhang Xiu. The most important thing is that even if Zhang Xiu can't win Guanzhong, after fighting with the Xiliang army in Guanzhong, her strength will definitely be weakened.

At that time, it is impossible to covet Jingzhou.

As long as Zhang Xiu goes north, no matter what, Liu Biao has no threat.

For a moment, Liu Biao was in full bloom.

His heart is very grateful to CAI. Thanks to Cai's comfort, he made up his mind to seek peace and alliance. Then he called Zhang Xiu, Huang Chengyan and others to the banquet and learned what Zhang Xiu thought.

Liu Biao had been in Jingzhou for many years, but he did not encounter much war. There was plenty of grain in his granary.

He was happy at the moment, so he said: "Jiang Ping wants to go north to Guanzhong. I will give my full support. After the spring of next year, I will support you to use 100000 stone grain for the time being. If the follow-up is not enough, I will allocate some more grain. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "thank you, uncle!"
