Chapter 49: The Furious Cai Yong

As Ye Zhao expected, more than 100 flying boats and 1,000 turbulent tanks were carried by him, which was probably the earliest bomber on earth. The information of the generals of Jiameng Pass Ye Zhao had already touched the secret spy that penetrated into Yizhou. Zhang Yi was not an incompetent general, but he was just a normal person. He was a little embarrassed to think of a strategy to defeat the enemy in the first instance when encountering this situation.

There is a military army in Zitong Pass. According to the plan made by Gu Cheng at the beginning, it would be no problem to successfully capture Zitong Pass. Now it depends on the Baishui Pass.

Zhao Wei, the commander of Baishui Pass, was Liu Yan's old subordinate. He was a man who followed Liu Yan into Shu. He had great skills. He had three thousand soldiers and horses and the geographical advantage of Baishui Pass. If he did not move the flying boat, it would be a big loss to break through Baishui Pass, but it was not impossible to break. It was not difficult to transfer the flying boats to attack them from front and back, and it was not difficult to break through Baishui Pass.

However, Ye Zhao did not want to use this kind of strong attack method for Baishui Pass, because Zhao Wei's identity made Ye Zhao want to recruit him.

In addition to being Liu Yan's old subordinate, Zhao Wei also has another identity, that is, the scholar in Shu.

Logically speaking, Liu Yan was the lord of Shu, Zhao Wei was a scholar in Shu, and at the same time he was an old subordinate of Liu Yan, so he should be loyal to Liu Yan. The problem is that when Liu Yan first took office, he was rejected by the scholars in Shu, so he used a large number of Dongzhou scholars!

The so-called Dongzhou scholars were the gentry who moved from Sanfu and Nanyang to Shu due to war. Most of these gentry were eliminated from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and their families avoided the disaster and entered Shu.

Most of these people were originally local tyrants and powerful, but they only avoided the disaster in Shu. Most of the original land, connections, and assets were gone. When these people arrived in Shu, they naturally lost their original power. The family members in Shu were unwilling to share their resources. Therefore, these people could only join together to keep warm, and formed their own lines, which was also the origin of Dongzhou scholars.

Although Liu Yan was helpless in his use of the Dongzhou scholars, it was precisely because of the Dongzhou scholars that it would be beneficial to let these Dongzhou scholars support him, so that these Dongzhou scholars knew that only by following him could they have a chance to make a breakthrough.

Therefore, Liu Yan killed more than a dozen major families in Shu, and the Dongzhou scholars also took this opportunity to enter the power level in Shu. In order to stabilize Bashu, Liu Yan used the Dongzhou scholars to suppress the wealthy families in Shu to form a balance, which was understandable, but as a scholar in Shu, Zhao Wei was completely unresisting of Liu Yan's actions.

Ye Zhao discussed with Xi Zhicai that Zhao Wei may be the key link for Ye Zhao to open the gateway to Shuzhong in order to establish himself in Shuzhong. Even if there is no flying boat, Ye Zhao's plan would find a way to recruit Zhao Wei instead of killing him, so as to gain the support of the geniuses in Shuzhong.

Especially now that Liu Yan has insufficient control over Shuzhong, the choice of Shuzhong's family plays a crucial role at this time, from the original confrontation between Hanzhong and Yizhou forces to the confrontation between the Bashu scholars and Liu Yan and Dongzhou scholars.

However, after Ye Zhao ordered Ding Li to force Baishui Pass, he had no chance to care about this matter for the time being, because Nan Zheng had an amazing figure. Even Ye Zhao, as the lord of Hanzhong, had to wait carefully when facing this figure.

"Ye Xiuming, if you don't tell me clearly today, there will be you and no one in this hall!" Nan Zheng, in the hall of the General's Mansion, Cai Yong held Ye Zhao's Longyuan Sword in his hand and pointed at Ye Zhao through the table. His face turned pale, and his originally elegant face showed a bit of ferocious look.

"My teacher, listen to my explanation!" Ye Zhao looked at Long Yuan in Cai Yong's hand. With his ability, not to mention one Cai Yong, ten Cai Yongs holding the Long Yuan sword, but this matter is really a bit inappropriate. Moreover... when fighting with Cai Yong, the disciples and the masters will fight. In this era, not to mention outsiders, their subordinates will be ashamed, and they can't overcome the hurdle in their hearts, so they can only hide.

"Explanation?" Cai Yong pointed his sword at Ye Zhao and shouted sternly: "Do you know that the entire Chang'an City is rumoring that Cai Boyi's daughter is for Ye Hou and the General of the Cavalry has become a concubine. How can you keep this face in your name?"

About a month ago, rumors suddenly broke out in Chang'an City, saying that Cai Yan had committed his support to Ye Zhao and became a concubine for Ye Zhao.

Although Cai Yan's reputation has been sensationalized by the Wei family for many years, Cai Yan's reputation has been sensationalized by the Wei family, which has caused Cai Yan to be over 20 years old to be a matchmaker. Of course, it is not just the Wei family, but the Wei family, who did not have the courage to do so. In fact, it was just anger at that time. After that, the Wei family came to apologize several times. The real reason was that after Wei Zhongdao's death, Yuan Shu wanted to marry Cai Yan as a concubine and was driven out with a stick and Cai Yong carried it out. After that, the rumors never dissipated.

After that, even if someone came to propose marriage, he wanted to marry Cai Yan as his concubine. How could his daughter be a concubine for someone?

He was just wary of everything, but he didn't expect that his disciples would do such a thing. When he got the news, Cai Yong was blown up on the spot and went to Hanzhong to ask Ye Zhao for an explanation. Dong Zhuo was not able to stop him in this matter, so he could only send a few guards to let them follow Cai Yong, and after finishing the work, he took Cai Yong back to Chang'an.

Looking at the Longyuan Sword in Cai Yong's hand, Ye Zhao smiled bitterly: "Mr., I have something to say. Put down the sword first. Don't hurt yourself. My junior sister and I are innocent and have no way to go beyond the courtesy!"

Fortunately, he had already sent all his servants back before, otherwise he would have no place to let go of his face.

"Why are the rumors all over Chang'an City?" Cai Yong sneered: "Ye Hou is good at calculating people's hearts. Tell me, even if I bring Zhao Ji back to Chang'an at this moment, what kind of face does Yan'er have to meet people?"

"Then stay in Hanzhong." Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and said.

"I'm afraid this is the true intention of Ye Hou?" Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao with a sneer.

"No," Ye Zhao nodded and said, "Now Dong Zhuo seems to be powerful, but the sergeant of the court doesn't want to kill Dong Zhuo for a moment. It's true that long-term preservation will lead to failure. Once Dong Zhuo dies, the disciples are worried that someone will be detrimental to their mentors."

"So, you trick me into Yan'er's reputation!?" Cai Yong said angrily when he heard this.

"It's true that my disciple also loves my junior sister." Ye Zhao looked solemn and bowed, "At that time, my disciple was just a good son, and I knew he was not worthy of my junior sister. Therefore, I buried this thought in my heart, but now..."

"Now that Ye Hou has been in great success, Cai Yong's daughter is only worthy of Ye Hou as a concubine?" Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao with a sneer.

"It's not just being a concubine!" Ye Zhao shook his head: "Zhao Jue has no intention of despising his junior sister."

"What if it's a wife, what should the princess do?" Cai Yong frowned. He was a royalist, so he naturally didn't want Liu Wei to be wronged because of her daughter. If she had no son-in-law, Cai Yong would not object. After all, she grew up by herself. Her literature and character are first-class, and her ability to be literary and martial. The only disadvantage is that she is born. However, Ye Zhao is now a county marquis and a cavalry general. This status is enough to make up for her lack of background. But the problem is that Ye Zhao already has a real wife, and the other party is a princess.

Not to mention that Cai Yong would never want to see the princess being neglected by Ye Zhao because of this. Even if it is not a princess, if Ye Zhao divorced her because of this, Youdao is a bad wife and you should not abandon her. This character must be re-evaluated.

"In the past, there was a daughter named E, Ying, who was not talented in her disciples. She wanted to have a fair wife, and she was not a big deal with her wife..."

"Haha, what a big tone, you dare to compare yourself to Emperor Shun!" Cai Yong sneered.

"Zhaozi dare not compare with the previous sage." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "But there are precedents in this matter, it is not impossible."

"It seems that Mr. Ye has already figured it out. Why should I ask me if I do this?" Cai Yong sneered. After venting before, his mood became much calmer, but he was still resentful.

Things have reached this point, and rumors are flying everywhere. What can he do if he doesn't agree to Ye Zhao? To be honest, Ye Zhao is now famous all over the world, and his talent and ability are not bad. Being his son-in-law is not considered a humiliation of the Cai family's style, but if he agrees, his spirit is not going well.

"Father~" Cai Yan arrived at the door at some point. Seeing Cai Yong holding a sword, he looked at Cai Yong in surprise and said.

"Why is Zhao Ji here?" Cai Yong glared at Ye Zhao unhappily and said to his daughter.

"I heard that my father is here, I'm here to pay my respects." Cai Yan said with a smile.

"You go to the study with me!" Cai Yong pulled Cai Yan and walked out without looking back. Before leaving the door, he turned around and glared at Ye Zhao and said, "Don't you keep up!"

"Here!" Ye Zhao smiled bitterly, it seemed that the old man had already regarded this place as his home.

The three of them came straight to the study. Ye Zhao was left outside the door by Cai Yong and talked to Cai Yan in the study. Ye Zhao could naturally use his spiritual printing to explore the content of the conversation, but he did not do so, and he could probably guess without listening.

"Senior brother, my father calls you in." Not long after, Cai Yan opened the door and said to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao nodded silently and said, "Young sister won't go in?"

"If a man speaks, Zhao Ji will not go." Cai Yan shook his head and said.

"Okay." Ye Zhao stopped asking more and pushed the door open and entered.

But when Cai Yong turned his back to the door, he looked at the pair of poems in the study, Ye Zhao came in without looking back.

Ye Zhao's poems and essays in the study were written by Ye Zhao himself and were taken from a poem by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. Ye Zhao liked them quite a lot, so he wrote them down to make couplets in the study.

I saw the letter: The great roc rises with the wind in one day, soaring up to 90,000 miles.

"This poem... did you write it?" After a long time, Cai Yong turned around and looked at Ye Zhao.

"The essays made my teacher laugh." Ye Zhao nodded. It was indeed written by himself, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"You are such a big ambition!" Cai Yong had a cold face, but his expression eased a lot: "I can't help but not agree to this matter. Yan'er also has some friendship with you, otherwise it would be impossible to agree to this matter. But there are a few things you need to agree to me."

"Please tell me, my teacher." Ye Zhao bowed.

"The marriage must be done very well. The matter of a wife must be spread throughout the world. I don't care about how to do it, but you have to get it back for me with this face!"

"Don't worry, my teacher!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "This is not difficult!"

"Secondly, I have only Yan'er, a daughter. After marriage, Yan'er's first child needs to follow my husband's surname and continue my Cai family's incense."

After saying that, Cai Yong stared at Ye Zhao tightly. To be honest, it was a bit too much. When he married the Wei family, Cai Yong did not mention it. First, Wei Zhongdao was weak and he didn't know whether he could have a descendant. Second, Wei's family was powerful and had goodwill for him, so Cai Yong couldn't speak out, but now it's different. Ye Zhao took action first and then reported.

"But!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Even if the teacher doesn't mention it, Zhao has this intention. He cannot let his teacher's lineage be extinct from now on."

Cai Yong didn't expect Ye Zhao to agree so readily. After looking at Ye Zhao silently for a moment, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I am comforting you with this intention. I will not make things difficult for you. But there is one more thing. I know that you want to attack Shu. After all, Junlang is a relative of the Han Dynasty. If he has the ability, he will protect his life."

"Don't worry, my teacher." Ye Zhao nodded after hearing this, "The late emperor has the kindness of meeting me, and the blood of the Han Dynasty will not be humiliated lightly."

"I am sleepy, so you can send me the Xiliang envoy." Cai Yong waved to Ye Zhao with some fatigue.
