Chapter 1167 The capture of Jingzhou III
Mu Jing doesn't have much resentment about the Kuai family.
The so-called troubled times, under the chaos, covering the whole world, up to the powerful emperor, down to the peddlers and pawns, none of them can escape, and the family can't escape.
Unless it is like the Yuan family, there are a few overlords.
In this way, the whole family will be poured into supporting them to achieve great things, and once the great things are achieved, then the family will become royal, which is also a big investment.
But most families don't dare to play the game in person.
First, they do not have such representatives of the hegemon.
Second, there is only a thousand-year-old family, not a thousand-year-old dynasty, and the reason why the family is a family is because they have not come to the front and passed it on from generation to generation.
It is natural for the Kuai family to choose Liu Biao.
Back then, the Kuai family also chose Mushan.
When Mushan rose to Nanyang, the Kuai family intended to marry and befriend the Mu family, and later Mushan went up to 3,000 feet in the wind, becoming a dynasty under one person and ten thousand people, restarting the Han phase, majestic and awe-inspiring.
However, it was the Kuai family, and the rapid retreat at this time, did not rush the marriage between the Kuai family and Mushan, but dragged the marriage between the Kuai family and the Mu family, otherwise when the Mushan army was defeated and the Mu family was liquidated, the Kuai family would also be implicated.
Kuailiang's choice cannot be said to be right or wrong, but it is very wise and clear.
Liu Biao Town Jingzhou, the Kuai family has spent a lot of effort, and countless resources have been invested, including the relationship network of the Kuai family, if it were not for Kuai Liang to stabilize Shilin for Liu Biao and manage Liu Biao's reputation in Shilin, Liu Biao would not have been recognized so quickly.
Giving requires reciprocation.
This is like investing in a stock, which has been weighed down, and at this time, no matter the ups and downs, it must be held to the death and constantly replenish the position, so on this road, go farther and farther, go farther and farther.
Now, dreams are shattered.
Liu Biao's failure.
It represents so many years of hard work by the Kuai family, but it has finally come to naught.
Kuailiang's mood can be imagined.
His eyes, in the turbidity, there was still a little light, looking at Mu Jing, after half a sound, he said in a deep voice: "I naturally want to live, only those who are not as good as death will seek death, I still want to live!" ”
"Then you should know, what I want!"
Mu Jing himself didn't know whether he should use Kuai Liang or not, because this is a double-sided blade, don't expect Kuai Liang to have no resentment at all, if he can stab him with a knife, Kuai Liang will not be polite.
But now, he really needs Kuailiang.
Liu Biao is going to die.
The position of Jingzhou Mu can only be Liu Zong's.
It can't be Liu Qi's.
Liu Zong is only a few years old, isn't it easy to control.
In this way, Jingzhou can gradually transition, instead of being sunk all at once, and then slowly cleaning up, in that case, the damage will be too great.
As the saying goes, it is easy to destroy.
Construction is the hardest part.
Being able to peacefully transition Jingzhou under the command of the Ming Marquis Mansion is the most important thing for Mujing to consider now.
And if he can do it, only Kuai Liang, because he is the first strategist under Liu Biao, representing Liu Biao's harmony and prestige, and can also make Jingzhou people surrender, he supports Liu Zong, which is equivalent to Jingzhou Pastoral Government supporting Liu Zong.
"I want to meet my lord!" Kuai Liang made a request.
"Yes!"
Mu Jing stood up and said, "Arrange for them to meet, and change the courtyard for Kuai Gong!" ”
"No!"
Jin Jiu, who was standing behind him, gave his hand to take the order.
Back in the lobby, Mu Jing's thoughts were still a little messy, he paced back and forth, thinking and thinking, it is rare to have a double law, I want Jingzhou, but I don't want war, how can I reduce the war to a minimum.
"Lord!"
Xu Shu walked in and bowed.
"Say!"
Mu Jing waved his hand, so that he didn't have to pay too much attention to these false courtesies.
"The news has spread out, and the reactions from all over Jingzhou have yet to be collected, but now the reactions of the various departments of the Jingzhou Army have been caught by us!"
Xu Shu said.
Jing Wusi's news network in this regard is still very strong.
"How?"
"Except for Wen Ping, everyone else is a little sluggish!" Xu Shu reported: "The Jiangdong Army was the first to withdraw its troops, and its current whereabouts are unknown, but it should be directly governed along the river, and he will definitely pass through our Jiangxia!" ”
"Is there any hope of stopping him?"
"At present, the casualties of our army are not small, the first battle of Xiling, although it was an ambush, it was beaten by the Jiangdong army, the casualties are not few, and the situation must be suppressed, plus we have no warships, I am afraid it will be ......"
Xu Shu didn't bless much hope, but shook his head and made a rational choice: "I think the best thing is to let them leave, clean up Jingzhou first, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late!" ”
"I wanted to leave Sun Bofu behind!"
Mu Jing was a little unwilling: "But now after fighting Sun Wentai, it has suppressed my strength, and the key is that the strength of the navy is insufficient!" ”
He paced back and forth.
"Do you want to transfer the main force of the naval army over there back?"
Mu Jing couldn't help it.
At present, the Jingping water division of the pastoral army is only the strength of the second echelon, and the real naval force of the pastoral army has already been transferred to the south, and the camp is set up on the seaside, and it is still in Jiaozhou.
"Forget it!"
Mu Jing gritted his teeth: "Bear with me, it's not time for a decisive battle with Jiangdong!" ”
He kept a main force just so that Jiangdong could underestimate his naval strength, so that he would have an advantage in attacking Jiangdong in the future.
"Maybe we really can't keep him, but we can't do nothing!"
Mu Jing said: "Even if you let Sun Bofu leave, you can't do it so easily, tell Huang Zhong and order him to personally lead the army and set up ambushes on both sides of the strait, how much can he stay, how much!" ”
"No!"
"What about the other Jingzhou generals?"
"Cai Mao and Huang Zu, they have now left the Dangyang battlefield, they are in a hurry, the main force of our army wants to intercept it, but after all, they can't control the water passage, and the Jingping Naval Division's warships are almost exhausted, and there is no way to pursue!"
"Send someone to say surrender!"
"Will they surrender?"
"It doesn't matter, let's say it first, the opportunity still has to be given, otherwise we will pay more if we are really trapped in the beast and fight, our life is life, we want to be rare, the life of Jingzhou Erlang is also life, we want to build Jingzhou, we need a lot of manpower and material resources!"
"Got it!"
Xu Shu asked: "Then who is the most suitable to go!" ”
"Let Zhuge Liang go!" Mu Jing squinted his eyes and said, "He suffered a loss once, I'll let him eat again!" ”
It is destined to be fruitless.
"The lord seems to be unusually heavy on Zhuge Liang!"
"Hmm!" Mu Jing did not deny it at all: "This is a talent, I have always paid attention to talents, for example, I tried my best to let you go out of the Minghou Mansion, it is the same, talents can support a future!" ”
"I am flattered by the importance of the lord's weapon!"
"Don't be modest, you have such weight!" Mu Jing said: "I value Zhuge Liang, and I also value you, but you are all young, at present, it is impossible to entrust you with important tasks, I hope you can grow up quickly." ”
Xu Shu had a feeling of being obedient, although it was a good thing to be taken seriously, but Mu Jing's youth made him very embarrassed when he said this.
But he quickly put that feeling behind him.
continued: "In addition, Zhang Yuntun's soldiers Huarong Dao has stopped moving, he should be waiting, and he sent a lot of scouts to enter Jiangxia, he should want to seal the news, once the news is true, what decision he will make, it's hard to say!" ”
"If I were him, I would go back to Changsha!" Mu Jing guessed.
"Will it?"
"Yes!" Pastoral steadfastness.
"That's easy, take Changsha first!" Xu Shu said.
"How?"
"Han Xuan!"
"This is a person who can't be fooled!"
"I'm confident!"
"Then you go to Changsha!" Mu Jing said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, you and Zhuge are both talents I am more optimistic about, among the younger generation, either military or government affairs, however, there are few people who are all-round talents in civil and military affairs, I hope you can develop in an all-round way!" ”
"Subordinates should live up to the expectations of the lord!"
Xu Shu bowed his head and said.
Death for a confidant.
Regardless of what Mu Jing used to force him to come out, how Mu Jing treated him was the most important, this kind of weight, very human courage, if he was like this, he still had two hearts, it was ingratitude.
"Where's the clerk?" Mu Jing continued to ask.
"Wen Ping, he's attacking Yicheng!"
"So fast?"
"After hearing Liu Biao's news, he attacked Yicheng non-stop!"
"Wen Zhongye, he is really a loyal person!" Mu Jing sneered.
"Not necessarily!" Xu Shu shook his head.
"If he is really loyal, he shouldn't go to Yicheng, he should come to Jiangxia!"
"Loyal and treacherous?" Mu Jing squinted.
"I can't say that, now that the towering tree has fallen, the birds that roost on it will naturally fly separately, they each have their own thoughts, the new defeat of Wenpin, the lack of troops, is the weakest among the Jingzhou armies of all walks of life, at this time he needs someone to witness his loyalty!"
Xu Shu said in a low voice.
"Loyal and righteous people, the world is happy!" Mu Jing understood.
"He's definitely not going to surrender!" Xu Shu said.
"Only captured!" Mu Jing understood again.
"So he can be the first one we operated!" Xu Shu continued: "Defeat him first, I believe that it is not difficult, and even if you are in the army all the time, you can easily defeat him!" ”
"Now a person who leads troops to fight is so complicated, you say that Kuai Liang is a scheming person, no one knows what he thinks in his heart, even if he is willing to use it for me, do I dare to use it?"
Mu Jing sighed.
In troubled times, heroes and heroes are also produced, and in the same way, in this troubled times, people's hearts will inevitably become complicated.
In front of life and death.
The potential is limitless.
This is forced out by troubled times.
"Whether you dare to use it or not, it depends on whether the lord needs it or not!" Xu Shu said: "As long as the lord needs it, I'm afraid there are few people in this world, and the lord doesn't dare to use it!" ”
"I'm complimenting you when you're complimenting me!"
Mu Jing was complacent.
…………………………
Inside an airtight courtyard guarded by the Divine Guard.
Kuai Liang and Liu Biao sat opposite each other.
There were just a few jugs of wine on the desk.
"Lord, you don't look very good!"
Kuai Liang poured the wine himself and said softly.
"The spirit is a little bit worse!"
Liu Biao nodded: "But in this state, that's it, the mood of waiting for death is not very comfortable, I have to wake up from a nightmare every day, as if I don't know when, my head is not my own!" ”
"I'm sorry!"
Kuai Liang was somewhat overshadowed.
Between them, a lord and a minister, many years of heart-to-heart friendship, throwing out those interests, the feelings are also very generous, seeing Liu Biao fall into such a realm, he can't bear it, but there is nothing to do.
"It doesn't have to be like this!"
Liu Biao was a little free and easy: "The destiny of life and death, losing is losing, I dare to come out and fight, I have prepared that one day I will die without a place to be buried, and now I can accompany my wife and children well, which can be regarded as a generous herding dragon!" ”
"He will kill you sooner or later, and he will not keep you!"
"I know!"
"Why don't you run away?" Kuailiang Road.
"Zirou, do you believe that we still have a chance to escape?" Liu Biao asked rhetorically.
Kuai Liang was silent.
There is no chance at all, absolutely not, don't look at them as if they are just under house arrest, not to mention the soldiers around them, no one knows how many eyes are staring at them in secret.
"Don't worry about me!" Liu Biao drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, and then said: "You should worry about yourself now, Mu Longtu asked you to come to see me, it means that he doesn't want to kill you yet, it doesn't mean that you are safe, you have use value, he will keep your life, after using it, it's not too late to kill you, others don't kill, you can be in the name of benevolence and righteousness, but you, he may not stay, it's too dangerous!" ”
This sentence is completely the result of comparing hearts to hearts.
"I know!" Kuai Liang smiled bitterly, his greatest advantage has become the biggest difficulty for him to survive, if a person is too smart, it is a scourge, if Mu Jing doesn't want him to become a scourge, after using it, give him a knife, that is also a normal thing.
"Tell me, what do you think!"
Liu Biao asked.
"He gave me a chance, and I can't live up to it, after all, I'm afraid of death!" Kuai Liang was a little self-deprecating.
"It's normal to be afraid of death, and I'm afraid too!"
Liu Biao's face became even more bitter.
"I've thought about it, the reason why he wants to use me is for Jingzhou to be stable, we sent the eldest prince out, I don't know if it helped him or hurt him!" Kuai Liang said: "Cai Mao and Huang Zu will not be reconciled, they have heavy troops, and the eldest prince will naturally be the new lord of Jingzhou when the time comes!" ”
"They can't fight the Mulong Diagram!"
"But Mu Jing may not be willing to let Jingzhou continue to fight, he is not without enemies, his enemies are in the north, in Jiangdong, if Jingzhou is in chaos for too long, it is inevitable that more hands will be involved, and then he will lose more than he gains!"
"So Mu Jing will definitely make a move!" Liu Biao's eyes lit up: "I understand, he has taken a fancy to Zong'er, although Zong'er is a few years old, but he is my son after all, with your support, he has hope, and he will not take Jingzhou with blood!" ”
"It's not impossible to fight blood, after all, there will be a fight, but it should be the least war, and unify Jingzhou!" Kuailiang Road.
"Looks like both of my sons are going to get involved!"
Liu Biao sighed.
"Can't hide!" Kuailiang Road.
"Will Wu'er still live?"
"The little boy may have hope, but once the eldest prince crosses the line, he will definitely have to die on the battlefield!"
"Hey!"
Liu Biao sighed: "Mu Jing is really a last resort!" ”
He thought for a while and said, "You must have come today to persuade me, I am already a mortal situation, for the sake of my two sons, I must do something!" ”
"What Mu Longtu wants, you and I know!"
Kuai Liang nodded: "You don't help him, he can only come hard, how many people can be saved when the time comes, no one can say, he wants to take Jingzhou peacefully, but the premise is that Jingzhou must be taken, once there is any obstacle, he will be strong to sweep away, leaving no trace of disaster, this person is strong, as a generation of heroes, decisive killing, unlike a young man, Jingzhou shed too much blood, for the sake of the eldest prince and the little son, and for the people of Jingzhou, some, can only be cheeky, please do something that the lord does not want to do!" ”
Liu Biao is Jingzhou's Dinghai Shen Needle.
Don't look at him in the past when he was overwhelmed by the Jingzhou Shi clan, the snake has no head, and Jingzhou is no longer a climate without Liu Biao.
Liu Biao's influence is naturally extraordinary.
County guard, county order.
Liu Biao also has countless supporters.
He said one sentence, which is better than Kuailiang doing ten things.
If Kuai Liang wants to live, he can only do it according to Mu Jing's ideas, which can't bypass Liu Biao, so he is the first to persuade Liu Biao to let Liu Biao burn his last breath for Jingzhou.
