Chapter 71 Marriage, Celebrities, and Villains (for further reading)

Liu Biao was panting and his face was flushed, which looked very abnormal.

He was nearly sixty years old, and he was already unable to cope with Cai's advances.

However, in order to make Cai feel happy, Liu Biao reluctantly moved his muscles a few times.

"Madam, you don't need to worry about this matter. I remember that Han Degao is from Yiyang, and I am about to send him to Fangling to find out the details about Wei Shi."

After hastily settling the matter, Liu Biao gave instructions to Mrs. Cai, then put on his clothes and walked to the study.

Wei Shi got the imperial edict and usurped Kuai Qi's position as the governor of Fangling. This happened right under his nose. He had just pretended not to see it before because Wei Shi had no reputation.

Liu Biao felt at that time that even if Wei Shi got the title of Governor of Fangling, he would not be able to secure his position.

In this case, why should he care about a loser who is about to be defeated?

But now, Wei Shi actually defeated Shen Dan and Shen Yi brothers, regained Shangyong County, and blocked Zhang Lu's rice soldiers at Mulansai. This was very different.

Fangling County was originally under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, but was later recaptured by him.

Now Wei Shi has occupied Shangyong County in Yizhou. If Wei Shi's position can be attached to his side, then there will be one more county in Jingzhou's territory.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao's heart became more eager. He wanted to go to the front hall of Zhou Mu immediately to discuss with Kuai Yue, Han Song and others on how to make friends with Wei Shi and expand Jingzhou's strength.

Cai was dissatisfied with her desire and was rejected by Liu Biao. She twisted her plump body unwillingly, stood up and said:

"Mr. Lang, Han Song, although knowledgeable, has a stubborn temper. Send him to Fangling. If there is a dispute with Wei Fujun, it will be difficult to ease the relationship."

"If Mr. Lang agrees, I will also send a confidant to go with me. We in the Cai family also have several female relatives of the same age. Mr. Wei is young and promising, so he is a good match..."

"That's fine. It would be great if the marriage can happen. However, I heard that Wei Shi already has a wife, and she is also a housekeeper widow. I'm afraid he won't agree to divorce his wife and remarry."

Liu Biao nodded and didn't say much about Cai's proposal. It would be good if things like marriage could be accomplished.

The reason why he was able to take control of Jingzhou single-handedly was because of his marriage alliance with the Cai family, Kuai family, Zhang family and other large families in Jingzhou.

Mrs. Cai chuckled lightly. After sending Liu Biao away, she immediately sent her servants and summoned Cai Mao's wife for discussion.

She married Liu Biao, and although her second wife filled in the house, the Cai family became one of the largest families in Jingzhou by virtue of their marriage.

Cai believed that he could see things more clearly than Liu Biao when it came to matters between men and women.

These days, she has never seen any man who can resist the temptation of beauty. The same is true for the high-ranking Liu Biao, and the same is true for the young and energetic Wei Shi.

What makes Cai even more confident is that according to Cai An, a member of the Cai family in Yushu Bay, Cai He reported that this Wei Shi was actually an impatient man, otherwise he would not have married a widow who looked after the family.

"It's a pity that the Huang family's girl Yueying has already married Zhuge Kongming. Otherwise, it would have been a good marriage."

"As for the other female relatives of the right age, the Cai family does have two girls who were born as concubines. I just wonder if Mr. Wei Mansion can take his fancy..."

While waiting for the arrival of Mrs. Cai Mao, Mr. Cai thought about the marriage, but his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Wei Shi is young and promising, and full of energy. As long as nothing happens, he will become an important minister in the court. Anyone who marries him will have nothing to worry about in the future.

Liu Biao was already sixty years old and his energy was low. Even his love affairs ended hastily.

——

Wei Shi had a duel with Yang Ren at Mulansai. Both sides relied on the terrain to defend their own passes, but it was even more difficult to go further.

In this regard, Wei Shi did not force himself and simply left Wei Yan to confront Yang Ren at the pass, which could be considered as a way to practice his skills in advance.

Next, Wei Shi planned to return to Fangling first and discuss with Han Qiang the matter of moving the prefect's mansion to Shangyong.

Fangling city was very small and close to Xiangyang, so it was easily affected by the Jingzhou incident. Wei Shi felt that he could coordinate the affairs of the three eastern counties better because he was based in Shangyong.

Just when Wei Shi was busy moving, Kuai Qi, who was sent to Nanjun, came back with a message saying that the envoy of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, who was not driving Zhang Song, and the envoy of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who was not driving Han Song, were already on their way.

Zhang Song and Han Song walked together.

This is no coincidence.

After Zhang Song left Sichuan, he arrived in Xiangyang first. He heard from Liu Biao that Han Song was going to see Wei Shi, so he immediately took the boat shamelessly.

"Han Song is from Yiyang. He was eager to learn when he was young. Although he was poor, he did not change his conduct. This man is related to my Wei family, but he is a gentleman."

"As for Zhang Song, he is definitely not a gentleman, but if he can bring good news about Xichuan, he can also entertain him well. If Zhang Song leaks Xichuan's secrets, that would be even better."

Wei Shi thought about how to deal with it, so he summoned Lou Gui and Huang Xu to prepare a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests.

Two days later, Han Song and Zhang Song, accompanied by Kuai Qi, arrived at Shangyong.

What surprised Wei Shi was that in addition to these two envoys, Liu Biao was also accompanied by Han Song, Sima Hui, known as Mr. Shui Jing.

Sima Hui was a native of Yangzhai, Yingchuan. In the third year of Jian'an, he lived in Xiangyang at the invitation of Liu Biao and had close contacts with Han Song, Pang Degong, Shi Tao and others.

This time Han Song was on an envoy to Fangling and Shangyong. Before leaving, he made a special trip to Sima Hui's residence to talk about it.

It happened that during this period, Sima Hui and others talked a lot about Wei Shi. It was better to hear it than to see it, so Sima Hui followed Han Song.

Liu Biao sent two famous people here.

Liu Zhang did not show weakness either.

When Zhang Song left Sichuan, he talked with his friends Fazheng and Meng Da. Later, Meng Da escorted Zhang Song all the way to Fangling. Although he was not a deputy envoy, Wei Shi was shocked by the name of Meng Da.

These celebrities from Jingzhou and Bashu either did not come or came together in groups.

"Mr. Wei Fu, do you still remember the little Cai An, when the king lived in Yushuwan Village, and the little man was the leader of the village, and he traveled a lot with the king, and had a good relationship with him. Unexpectedly, I haven't seen him for more than a year.

He has already achieved great success and has become the governor of a county."

While Wei Shi was busy greeting Han Song, Sima Hui, Zhang Song, Meng Da and others, a familiar and wretched figure came out from behind Han Song and approached Wei Shi.

Cai An.

The front lane of Yu Shu Wan Village.

At first, this Cai An was captured by Fu Wei and brought back to Xinye, but later disappeared. Who would have thought that this person is not dead yet?

When Wei Shi saw Cai An appearing in front of him, he felt sick in his heart.

"Mr. Wei Fu, what happened before was that Cai An was blind and bumped into Fu Jun. When we meet today, I want to apologize to Fu Jun. I also hope that Mr. Fu will give you a lot..."

In the presence of Han Song, Sima Hui and other celebrities, Cai An bowed to Wei Shi and apologized.

He is quite clever at this.

In full public view, if Wei Shi criticized him, it would be because he was too narrow-minded to accommodate others.
