548 Jingzhou changed hands(20)
In Sima Yi's heart, he had always wanted to transfer the peaceful and smooth transfer of Jingzhou to Zhang Yan's hands, and he originally thought that his plan would take several years to be realized.
However, what has happened in the past few months has invisibly accelerated the pace of Sima Yi's plan, as if in the dark, a god is blessing him and wants him to do a great cause vigorously.
The loss of the four counties of Jingnan will directly threaten the safety of Jingzhou, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really take refuge in Sun Quan, then the sleeping tiger in Jiangdong will begin to awaken.
Sima Yi was not worried about the situation in Jingzhou, but now he was worried about the Sun family in Jiangdong, Jiangdong was a potential threat, and the late hussar general Chen Deng led a large army to attack Jiangdong, only to return with a feather and lose his own life.
At that time, Jiangdong was in the midst of internal and external troubles, Chen Deng's troops were also more than Jiangdong's, but he failed to win, and now Jiangdong has gradually stabilized internally after some time of recovery, forming a strong cohesion with Sun Quan as the core, and the old, middle and young generations of Jiangdong soldiers are now very united. As the so-called brothers work together, their profits are gold, and now Jiangdong has taken in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two fierce generals in the world, and it seems to be rising.
What Sima Yi was worried about finally happened, but he was helpless now, after all, people are not as good as heaven, and he never calculated that this day would come so quickly.
For this reason, Sima Yi hurriedly left the mansion and went to Kuai Mansion in person to discuss with the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.
Now Liu Qi is overly sad because of Liu Biao's death, and locks himself in a room that belongs only to him, and does not see anyone. Even Sima Yi went. Also turned away. Quite possibly. It was Liu Qi who was hit by Yan zhòng and collapsed.
Now if there is anything going on in Jingzhou, Sima Yi will always go to the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, they are the evergreens of Jingzhou, and they are also the representatives of the Jingzhou scholars. As long as something is good for them, they will fall to either side, and they belong to the kind of people who are particularly unprincipled.
After Liu Biao's death, the Kuai brothers showed their family's fine traditions, and after a conversation with Sima Yi, they began to lean towards Sima Yi again.
So, after that conversation, Sima Yi and the Kuai brothers formed temporary allies. The so-called temporary allies. It was because Sima Yi wanted to borrow the fame of the Kuai brothers to improve his reputation. The Kuai brothers used Sima Yi, who held real power, to seek benefits for the family, which can be regarded as the needs of both parties. In short, they are now grasshoppers on a rope, but once Jingzhou changes hands, the Kuai brothers may fall into the arms of others again, thus breaking down the alliance relationship. To put it simply, the so-called allies between them are only in the relationship of interests, because interests can come together or be separated because of interests. It is a kind of alliance that is unstable, so it can only be temporary.
Sima Yi came to Kuaifu, the doorman went in to inform Kuai Yue, Kuailiang brothers, the two brothers were a little flattered, hurriedly rushed to the door of the mansion to meet, saw Sima Yi arrived, looked very enthusiastic, after a greeting, then welcomed Sima Yi into the hall.
The three guests and hosts sat down, and Sima Yi said directly to the point: "Two Lord Kuai, I came this time because I have something important to discuss with you, do you know that the four counties of Jingnan have been captured by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?" ”
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue's news, how could there be Sima Yi Lingtong, naturally he didn't know anything about this matter. But when they heard the news from Sima Yi, they were all surprised.
"Didn't Guan Yu and Zhang Fei abscond in fear of crime, and where did the soldiers and horses come from to capture the four counties of Jingnan?" Kuai Yue asked first.
Sima Yi said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took refuge with Sun Quan in Jiangdong, borrowed soldiers and horses from Sun Quan, and used their connections in Jingnan to capture the four counties of Jingnan without much effort. Moreover, it is reported that Jiangdong is secretly gathering troops and horses, and wants to have a greater plot against Jingzhou! ”
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue both frowned, and they both glanced at each other, and the moment their eyes collided, they seemed to be thinking about what to do in the future.
Sima Yi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and every move of the Kuai brothers could not escape his keen eyes. He lowered his voice and said with a little frustration: "That Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both invincible warriors in the world, and the entire Jingzhou may not be able to find a person to deal with them." After Sun Quan got Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it was equivalent to a tiger with wings, and now he has captured the four counties of Jingnan, if Sun Quan wants to capture Jingzhou, he will inevitably divide the troops into two ways, one by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the troops of the four counties of Jingnan to Jiangling north, and one by Zhou Yu to lead the army out of Chaisang, directly approaching Jiangxia, if Zhang Xiu of Nanyang at this time leads the army south, then Jingzhou will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy. Jingzhou has experienced too much in the past few months, although there are still 100,000 soldiers with armor, but the combat effectiveness of its army is not as good as before, if it faces so many enemies at the same time, Jingzhou will probably not be able to cope with it......"
After a pause, Sima Yi continued: "Now the lord has been haunted by the death of the old lord, and he has not seen outsiders so far, and he has locked himself in the room alone, and even I have the same fate when I go to ask to see him." At this time of all this, the only people I can think of who share my worries are two brothers. Therefore, I just came here, and I want to ask the two adults for guidance, and I hope that the two adults will give me advice. ”
The Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers were silent, one lowered his head and pinched the beard on his chin with his hand, and the other dragged his chin, as if they were all thinking of countermeasures.
After a long time, Kuai Liang said: "Sima Junshi, this matter is very important, please allow our brothers to discuss and discuss, and give a reply to the military advisor tomorrow, I don't know what the military advisor wants?" ”
"It's all burning eyebrows, where am I waiting for tomorrow? Two adults, one hour, one hour later, I will come to visit in person, hoping that the two adults can give me a reasonable proposal to help me through this difficulty, how about it? Sima Yi was anxious.
Kuai Liang said: "That...... All right...... An hour later, the two of us will personally visit the military advisor and bring us our solutions. ”
Sima Yi nodded, got up and said, "Then I'll leave first, and I'll wait for the two adults in the mansion." ”
The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue sent Sima Yi out of Kuai Mansion, and after seeing Sima Yi go away, the two of them returned to the hall, and after sitting down separately, Kuai Yue said to Kuai Liang: "Brother, now that Jingzhou is really facing a crisis, do you really plan to help Sima Yi?" ”
Kuai Liang said: "Xenodu, don't forget jì, we are also from Jingzhou, since Liu Biao became the pastor of Shangzhou, Jingzhou has never had such a situation, now Jingzhou is in danger outside, all the soldiers and horses are eyeing Jingzhou, as a Jingzhou person, do you just watch Jingzhou fall under the trampling of other people's iron hooves?" ”
Kuai Yue said: "But Jingzhou's current shape is simply incomparable with before, although the Cai family was in charge of the party in the past, but Jingzhou is strong, strong and strong, at least no one dares to bully at will, but now Jingzhou's strength has plummeted, and the officials have almost changed all over again, if it weren't for our Kuai clan's great influence in Xiangyang, maybe Sima Yi would have replaced us a long time ago." Liu Qi's kid now seems to have suffered a blow from Yan zhòng, and he is in a state of collapse, brother, do you know what is said outside now? said that Liu Qi was just a puppet, and Sima Yi was the real lord of Jingzhou. And the only person closest to Liu Qi is Sima Yi, maybe Liu Qi has nothing to do at all, but was put under house arrest by Sima Yi......"
After hearing this, Kuai Liang immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Sima Yi is definitely not that kind of person! ”
"How long have my brother and Sima Yi known each other? How do you know if he's that kind of person? People's hearts are separated from their bellies, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, how do you know that Sima Yi has no intention of stealing Jingzhou? Kuai Yue said.
Kuai Liang frowned, stopped talking, but also muttered in his heart, after all, what Kuai Yue said also made some sense, how could it be that at such a critical time, Liu Qi suddenly gave up on himself? No matter how weak the dignified Jingzhou son was before, he would not have died his father, and he would become like this?
"Brother, you are also suspicious of Sima Yi, right?" Kuai Yue is Kuai Liang's younger brother after all, the two are not much different in age, they have played since they were young, and they do everything together, so what Kuai Liang thinks in his heart, he knows better than anyone else.
Kuai Liang said: "Xenodu, let's go to the government now, I want to see Liu Qi with my own eyes, if he is really under house arrest by Sima Yi, Sima Yi will not let us see, if Sima Yi is willing to let us see, it means that Sima Yi has no problem." When the time comes, we'll come back and discuss countermeasures, how about it? ”
Kuai Yue said: "Even if Sima Yi is willing to let us see us, Liu Qi in the room will not see us, so we can only break in, and if we don't see Liu Qi, we will not give up." If you don't see Liu Qi, how can my brother know who Liu Qi is behind the door? Or was it a knife to the neck? ”
Kuai Liang said: "Okay, then we will break through once, and if we don't see Liu Qi, we will not give up." After all, Liu Biao has always treated us well, and we must not let Jingzhou fall into the hands of outsiders. If it was really Sima Yi who was making an obstruction, I would try to drive him out of Jingzhou, and it would be worthy of Liu Biao's spirit in the sky. ”
After some discussion, the two brothers said they would do it, and immediately left the Kuai Mansion and went to the mansion, wanting to see Liu Qi. (To be continued......)
