Chapter 458 The Meaning of the Alliance
But Liu Biao didn't put it in his heart, because this is instinct, when you have a certain effect, there will naturally be some complacency.
At present, Liu Biao can use it, and it is impossible for people who can't reach a finger to kill their cronies first when the internal worries are serious.
Liu Biao said: "Qi'er can think so thoughtfully, and she has indeed grown up a lot, but Huang Zu must not move, otherwise his father will fall into passivity even more." ”
Seeing that his father did not agree with his approach, Liu Qi was not discouraged, but changed his tone of conversation, and then said his other plans.
"In this case, Er has collected a group of rogues outside, which can be used as capital to start an incident, settle down in Jiangxia, and wait for maturity time."
"As for Huang Zu, my father can tell him bluntly, presumably he will agree, he won't have much doubt about his son, and when the time comes, he will slowly grasp the power in his hands, wouldn't it be more reassuring than relying on Huang Zu."
Going into battle as a father and son soldier and fighting a tiger brother, Liu Biao thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "Then who do you want to take with you?"
Liu Qi's face was overjoyed, and he said quickly: "Father, I don't want anyone, I just hope that at the critical moment, I can get the help of General Wenpin." ”
Wenpin is one of the few cronies recruited by Liu Biao, and he is also a rare talent, and in the military, it can be said that Liu Biao is the right and left hand.
Seeing that Liu Qi didn't need anyone, Liu Biao was quite satisfied, and naturally agreed to this small request.
With his father's support, Liu Qi was also excited, and left with great expectations, ready to do a big job.
After Liu Qi left, Liu Biao immediately summoned the two brothers of the Kuai family to discuss how to face Cai Mao's counterattack.
When the Kuai brothers learned of the summons, they hurriedly hurried to Liu Biao's mansion.
After some narration, the two Kuai brothers knew the situation, and their hearts trembled at that time.
Liu Biao looked at the two of them and said slowly: "You are all Jingsheng's henchmen, when you first came to Jingzhou, it was the two of you who helped each other to quickly become the master." ”
"At present, Cai Mao's power is getting bigger and bigger, and Jingsheng is also forced to do it, otherwise I am afraid that this Jingzhou will be a big chaos."
Liu Biao's words were full of threats, if the two of them didn't give him advice, then he would only have to fight with Cai Mao.
If the two tigers fight, they will inevitably hurt the innocent, Jingzhou will fall into turmoil, and the interests of the family will also suffer huge losses.
Now the Kuai family has become the leader of the Jingzhou family, and their choice will also represent the family.
In the same way, it is also the responsibility of the Kuai family to seek the benefits due to the family, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the family's dissatisfaction.
The two glanced at each other, and Kuai Liang spoke: "Lord, Zirou thinks that this matter can only appease Cai Mao, and cannot conflict with him. ”
"Hmph." Liu Biao sneered and said, "What do you mean, I, the lord of Jingzhou, still bow my head to Cai Mao." ”
Liu Biao and Cai Mao, if you want to say that person is more important, in the eyes of the Kuai family and other families, it is really difficult to say.
Kuai Liang shook his head and said: "Lord, Zirou doesn't mean this, it's just that although Jingzhou is calm at the moment, there are indeed many foreign enemies. ”
For Cai Mao, Liu Biao also wanted to kill, but he also knew that he should not be too anxious about this matter, and he was pretending to be angry at the moment, just to occupy the momentum.
Liu Biao put away his anger and said slowly: "Then according to your words, how to do it?"
Kuai Liang replied: "Lord, now that the eldest prince has left, I think Cai Mao should also receive a little rumor, it is better to convene officials tomorrow." ”
"Blame the eldest prince for all this matter, and then verbally reprimand, and let the eldest prince not come back for several years."
"Allow Cai Mao some convenience, let him dissipate his anger first, turn big things into small things, and turn small things into nothing."
"Ugh." Liu Biao sighed and said: "What is Xu to give him, Cai Mao's power is not small, and then Xu is the pastor of Jingzhou, or give Jingzhou to him." ”
Seeing Liu Biao say angry words, Kuai Yue hurriedly came out and said: "The lord is not angry, it doesn't matter if he is allowed to take a false position." ”
"Vacant?" Liu Biao nodded and said, "Then tell me, can you satisfy him with that false position?"
Kuai Yue replied: "The other degree thinks that the reason why Cai Mao has grown so rapidly over the years is because he is outside and it is convenient for him to act, so it is better for the lord to appoint him as the general and military advisor of Zhennan and keep him by his side, so as to curb his development and make him no longer act so carelessly." ”
General Zhennan is Liu Biao's title, if Cai Mao is named a military advisor, then in Jingzhou, he is really above one person.
But it's not impossible to really keep Cai Mao by his side and give it to him.
Liu Biao asked, "What if Cai Mao is unwilling to stay?"
Kuai Liang replied: "Don't worry, my lord, Mrs. Cai was just a little frightened, Cai Mao will not bite and let go, and we will speak appropriately on the side at that time." ”
Liu Biao was not worried that Cai Mao would not agree, but he just wanted the support of Kuai Liang and other people from the family.
got what he wanted, Liu Biao suddenly changed his tone and said: "By the way, a few days ago, Xuchang sent His Majesty's edict to Jingsheng to buy a batch of grain in Jingzhou and send it to Xuchang, what do you think of this matter." ”
There is a great drought in the world, but there is no major war in Jingzhou, the people are quite stable, and the Jingzhou treasury is also quite sufficient, so the impact is not large.
Liu Biao and others were also clear about the shortage of food in other places, but Liu Xie's edict was something they did not expect.
Kuai Liang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty's edict, it should be Cao Cao's intention, I'm afraid Cao Cao is very short of food now, the lord can send it, but it must be purchased at the same price." ”
Liu Biao nodded and said: "Jingsheng also means this, then Cao Cao and the wild man in the north are fighting, what do you think?"
In the several battles that broke out in the north last year, the two Kuai brothers had already explored it clearly, and they were also frightened about Li Huiyi's strength.
Destroy Gongsun Zan first, and then fight Yuan Shao's territory is completely gone, and finally take Cao Cao's two places, looking at the princes, I am afraid that there are few people who can resist.
The only thing that can defeat him is to unite and resist together, so that there is a chance to trap him in the north.
And Liu Biao's current meaning is also to express his thoughts, that is, to reach an alliance with Cao Cao, even if he can't send troops, it is a good choice to provide Cao Cao with food and grass.
Cao Cao, on behalf of all the families, Kuai Liang and others, naturally paid more attention, but before the battle situation was clear, they didn't want to make a single bet.
Kuai Liang replied: "Lord, Zirou thinks that this matter can only be secretly supported, and not made a big show, otherwise I am afraid that someone with a heart will come out to cause trouble." ”。
If you have a heart, Liu Biao thinks with his toes, and he knows who it is. "Yes, but if you don't want to alarm others, I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
Kuai Liang said: "If the lord is relieved, he can hand over this matter to my two brothers to ensure that there will be no major movements." "I want to talk about "The Battle of the Three Kingdoms" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
