Thinking about it now, Cai Ming's approach should be rational. It's just that the kind of surgical colic is difficult for a weak patient to accept.
Cai Ming continued: "I probably predict that the time we will station troops will not pass the time when the Southwest Silk Road is actually opened. In other words, when we open the Southwest Silk Road, the four counties have been pacified. This is the final time.
If the lord wants to deny the good results by saying that he needs to recuperate and recuperate instead of going to war, then it is best to give up the plan to open the Silk Road immediately."
"Huh~~" Liu Zhang let out a long breath. It was now clear that Cai Ming's approach was just different from his own way of thinking. He cared too much about Jing Yi's recuperation and recuperation, and he couldn't bear to give up soldiers or food, let alone chaos.
With Cai Ming's character, he always knows his purpose in everything he does. Just like before, the purpose was to prosper the family. So how to please Liu Biao, how to gain profits for the family, how to save the family from danger, Cai Ming would not know how to do it.
Care about other things.
As long as she feels it should be done and can promote the achievement of her goal, she will not hesitate.
As the Lord of Jingyi, as the area under my jurisdiction grows, there are too many things to deal with and more worries. Just like opening the Southwest Silk Road, suppressing the wealthy families is a normal investment. Why do I feel that
Is it an extraneous problem?
I should learn from Cai Ming to have a clear purpose.
"Ming'er, I just want to know why you didn't tell the difference. If you had said these things earlier, you wouldn't be in jail."
Cai Ming's face suddenly dimmed, and he stared at himself in the mirror for a long time without saying a word. Back then in Jingzhou Mufu, he was just like a duckweed on the water, but now, is he any different?
It's just that I couldn't see 6 o'clock at the beginning. But now I can see 6 o'clock, but I can't reach the shore.
Suddenly Liu Zhang pressed the military report from Fa Zheng into the palm of Cai Ming's hand, stood up and walked out. As Liu Zhang's hand left his shoulder, the slightest bit of coldness spread into his heart.
"Sir, you must spare Miss, Qiao'er, please."
Cai Qiao shouted anxiously outside, and Cai Ming unfolded the paper left by Liu Zhang. It read, Zhu family, Yongchang Gao family, and Yue Junyi king jointly requested that Cai Ming be handed over. As long as the criminal Cai Ming is handed over, the Sichuan army will withdraw.
Jianning and the four counties were returned to Yizhou, and there would be no rebellion. Otherwise, they would fight to the end with the Sichuan army and even join forces with the southern barbarians.
Cai Ming crumpled the letter in his hand. Tears shed again on his face in the mirror.
Through Liu Zhang's words just now, Cai Ming already knows that compared to the four southern counties, Liu Zhang cares more about the stability of Jingyi. After resting and recuperating, the Silk Road can be opened slowly, and even if some troubles are left, they can be solved later.
This is a matter of priority. Since we have decided to give priority to recuperation and recuperation, with the opening of the Silk Road as a supplement, wouldn't it be a good deal to exchange a little girl for the peace of the four counties?
He will die soon, or be handed over to those half-barbarian, half-Han wealthy people, and I don’t know what kind of inhuman treatment he will receive.
What have you done in your life?
As a victim of the family, he worked hard for the family for ten years, but still the family was destroyed.
For him, I had planned painstakingly, even if I planned, as long as the middle section of Jianning was completed and supported by three strategies, long-term peace and stability would be achieved. Therefore, after the middle section of Jianning was completed, the Yong family was suddenly in trouble, but it ended up like this.
"I can't blame anyone. It's not that my life is miserable, so I shouldn't be born in this world, or that I have made too many calculations in my life, and the calculations are backfired on me. Is this God's retribution?"
Cai Ming looked intently at the box of vermilion powder in front of him. It was used for elasticizing the face. When applied on the face, it would make the skin smooth and tender. However, it could not be imported because it contained highly toxic substances.

When Liu Zhang returned to the Mufu, he saw a little man sitting at the door. Zhou Buyi was sitting on the steps and quietly looking at the stars in the sky. Liu Zhang also felt a little confused and didn't want to enter the house, so he sat next to him.
The breeze blows on my face, and the night becomes clear.
"What are you doing?" Liu Zhang stared at the stars in the sky for a while. He thought he was deep enough, but he didn't expect Zhou Buyi to be deeper than him. He brought someone over by himself, sat down, and watched the night view together.
, Zhou Buyi’s neck doesn’t move.
"I'm thinking about love." Zhou Buyi said deeply and authentically.
"I'm really worried that Xun'er will also be taught to be a psychopath by you."
Zhou Buyi chuckled and said to Liu Zhang, "Have you met Miss Cai, sir?"
Liu Zhang nodded.
"Did you gain anything?"
"Yes." Liu Zhang told Zhou Buyi what Cai Ming said.
Zhou Bujie chuckled: "Let me just say, the outline of the Silk Road in the three counties was completed, and the rebellion in the four southern counties was a matter of great benefit and no harm. What woman is so stupid as to give such a big gift to an enemy."
"Do you think so too?" Liu Zhang asked.
Zhou Busuo said: "What can I say? Back then I told you that you have a two-year period, but now that the two years have passed, you are still sitting next to me. The politics are clear, the people are loyal, and the New Deal is on the right track.
, the Sichuan Army has been reborn and its power is at its peak, which has surprised everyone in the world. If you are not suspicious, you should shut up about military affairs."
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? You don't know how many storms I have experienced in the past two years, and you played a big role in them. In Hanzhong, Xiangyang, especially during the Chengdu rebellion, without you, I
It’s difficult to get to this point, but these princes can still remember it.”
Zhou Busuo smiled: "Unknowingly, I have done so many things. If your lord must ask me to tell you, let me ask you a question first. Your lord really intends to hand over Miss Cai in exchange for the peace of the four counties."
?”
"Of course not." Liu Zhang said, "Why else would I have ordered him to be executed in three days?"
"That's good. It seems that you just forgot and didn't change."
"What do you mean? Forget something, change something?"
"Natural nature, bloody nature." Zhou Bujie said: "Every prince will go through this period. When the power reaches its peak, as the territory expands, the deployment increases, and the forces of all parties intersect, there will be many scruples. Do one thing?
He is timid about things and uses various seemingly rational reasons to hide his true needs.
What you have forgotten is your bloody nature. You have forgotten how you rose up. The bloody nature that you have fought all the way from the Battle of Fucheng is still boiling in the hearts of everyone in Jingyi Province. Everything that blocks Jingyi Zhan has been crushed.
confidence and desire.”
Liu Zhang listened quietly. He had already felt it. Since Fazheng, Jing Yi's way of thinking in civil and military circles has gradually changed from before. There are fewer scruples. When they want to achieve a goal, they no longer think first.
It depends on how many obstacles there are, but whether it is possible to achieve it. As long as there is a slight possibility, I dare to fight hard and do whatever it takes.
On the contrary, I am thinking most about what will happen in a few years and have more and more worries.
Zhou Bujie looked at the starry sky and said: "The two states of Jing and Yi were reborn in the rebellion, and the Sichuan army was reborn at Tielong Pass in Yangping Pass. However, your Excellency has reached a bottleneck among the princes. When a prince's scruples begin to increase, no matter how he thinks,
It is difficult for his power to expand any further. You need to break through this bottleneck.
This time around the rebellion of the wealthy clans in the south, even Cai Ming could see that the opening of the Silk Road must include the suppression of the wealthy clans. With Wang Xu's soft attack strategy in front, and Cai Ming's coercion and inducement, the four counties in southern Xinjiang
It's only a matter of time before you completely surrender, but if you want to calm things down, you are forgetting your blood.
Fortunately, your Excellency had no intention of handing over Miss Cai from the beginning, otherwise, Your Excellency would have really changed, and it would be useless no matter what I say.
I just hope that you will always remember yourself in Jiangzhou. You knew your ideals and your goals. With a wave of your hand, you would not hesitate to kill thousands of people, and you would not hesitate to make enemies of the world. This is the clearest purpose, and this is the only way.
, so that the people around you can be firmly united.
Moderation or all-around excellence are never what a hero should possess.
When the blood of the adults cools down, the blood of your subordinates will also cool down. When the adults forget their own purpose, don’t expect anyone to remember it for you.”
"When the blood of the adults cools down, the blood of your subordinates will also cool down. When the adults forget their own purpose, don't expect anyone to remember it for you."
Liu Zhang thought about Zhou Buji's words and pondered for a long time. It seemed that at this moment, a mess of thoughts in his mind opened up a sunny avenue. Yes, the battle of Fucheng, the Jiangzhou massacre, the sneak attack on Jingnan, and the
Linjiangling, Dihexiangyang...
There was no time when there were many scruples and obstacles, but I knew clearly what I wanted, so all other dangers were eliminated. If I had been as hesitant as I am now, would I have been able to get to where I am today?
"I understand that Southern Xinjiang is no longer just a matter of the Silk Road, but a choice between gentle and sharp strategies. If you choose to retreat this time, choose to appease, choose to settle the matter, not only will the barbarians in Southern Xinjiang be arrogant and look down upon,
I am determined that in the future war with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, I will attack the rear.
And the most important thing is that if we compromise with the powerful families in southern Xinjiang this time, the common people, officials and soldiers in Jingyi will feel aggrieved, and that spirit of vigor and defiance will disappear. How many times have they been beaten?
Victory cannot make up for it."
Zhou Buyi smiled and said, "My lord can do this, and I am happy in my heart. Buyi said at the beginning that I wanted to see how far my lord can go, but now it seems that there is only one step left, that is, my lord can strengthen his belief.
Forget the original intention, in this way, the sharp sword of the Sichuan Army will surely realize the ideal in my heart."
"Okay, I'm going to bed."
"etc."
Zhou Bujie was about to stand up when Liu Zhang suddenly stopped him, "I'm still undecided about something. Please help me make up my mind."
"What, sir, have I just said everything in vain?" Zhou Busuo looked at Liu Zhang dissatisfied.
"It's about Xun'er."
…………
"Report."
Early in the morning, Liu Zhang was practicing his sword when a soldier suddenly came to report urgently: "Report to my lord, Miss Cai Ming committed suicide by taking poison in prison." (To be continued)
