After Kuai Liang returned to the mansion, he really sent his henchmen to contact the officials of all sizes in Xiangyang City, and made an appointment to go to the mansion tomorrow to ask to see Liu Qi, and told them his intention to sacrifice Jingzhou to Zhang Yan.

I have to say that Kuai Liang is a very influential person in Jingzhou's bureaucratic system, and he can also be said to be an evergreen tree on the ground in Jingzhou. Later, Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian, and bandits broke out in Jingzhou, and the imperial court sent Liu Biao to Jingzhou, and the Kuai family became Liu Biao's henchman.

Even later, when the Cai family was in power, the Kuai family often wandered left and right between the Cai family and Liu Biao, neither offending this nor that, and the technique of combining left and right sources was first-class.

At the same time, due to the super high reputation of the Kuai family in Jingzhou, the protégés and former officials are all over Jingzhou, which is also one of the main reasons why Liu Biao pacified Jingzhou with the help of the Kuai family. In addition, whether it is the Cai clan at its peak, or Sima Yi, who is now in power, they are very aware of the potential power of the Kuai clan, if the Kuai clan is moved, it will be equivalent to being the enemy of the entire Jingzhou Shi clan, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, whether it is Cai's or Sima Yi, they can only adopt the policy of appeasement.

Kuai's is a big family born and raised in this land, but also the late Qin and early Han Dynasty, the descendants of Kuaitong, Kuai's family has been in Jingzhou for more than 100 years, and the big officials in the family are endless. Assist Liu Biao again. But now. The Kuai family has a higher goal in life, they want to dedicate Jingzhou to Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, in order to protect the family's interests in Jingzhou.

Just as Kuai Liang's henchmen were actively running around Xiangyang City and contacting various officials, he was smug at home sketching out the bright future of their Kuai clan to his younger brother Kuai Yue.

However, Kuai Liang was unaware of the impending danger, and the claws of the god of death had begun to quietly reach his side.

Early the next morning. Kuai Liang took more than 50 officials in Xiangyang City and went to Liu Qi's state governor's mansion.

Liu Qi waited quietly in the house, waiting for Kuai Liang's arrival.

At three o'clock in the morning, Kuai Liang and more than 50 officials came to the courtyard where Liu Qi lived, and then Kuai Liang said to his own soldiers: "Tell the lord if you are tired of it, just say that Jingzhou should not drive Kuai Liang, and together with more than 50 officials of all sizes in Jingzhou, come to see the lord, and have important things to tell the lord." ”

The soldier said, "Don't drive your lord." You were here yesterday and you saw it too. The lord has not seen anyone, so you better go back. ”

Kuai Liang said: "It's the lord's business whether you see it or not, it's your duty to report it or not, you just need to report it according to what I said, don't talk so much nonsense here!" ”

The soldiers were bored with themselves, and they didn't dare to provoke Kuai Liang, so they turned around and came to the door of Liu Qi's room, and shouted inside: "Lord Qiqi, don't drive Lord Qi with more than 50 officials, come to ask to see the lord, saying that there is something important to tell the lord." ”

Liu Qi knew early in the morning that Kuai Liang would come, and he had already arranged everything, but Liu Qi was not in a hurry to do it, because Kuai Liang had not yet said what he wanted, and moving him now was undoubtedly making trouble for himself.

"Nope! I have already made it very clear yesterday, all the big and small affairs in Jingzhou have been handed over to the military general Sima Yi to be responsible, if there is anything, you can look for him, don't bother me! Liu Qi said coldly.

Kuai Liang stood at the door, Liu Qi's voice was very loud, he heard it clearly, so he stepped forward and said to Liu Qi: "Lord, now Jingzhou is already in crisis, internal and external troubles, the lord can not be stubborn, should be improvised, now is the time for Jingzhou's survival, the traitors Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have captured the four counties of Jingnan, Sun Quan is actively mobilizing troops and horses, wanting to plot against Jingzhou, Zhang Yan in the north is even more eyeing, Jingzhou has become the meat of other people's mouths, but the lord wants to continue to ignore it, What a chill it is for us officials. ”

"Squeak", the door opened, Liu Qi walked out of it, but did not step out of the threshold, but stood by the door, his sharp eyes quickly scanned everyone present, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart: "The energy of the brothers of the Kuai family is really big enough, and they have mobilized so many people, and there are many people in important positions......

Liu Qi had a gloomy face, frowned, and said to Kuai Liang: "What you said is the truth? ”

"Every sentence is true, if there is a little lie, the subordinates are willing to cut a thousand knives!" Kuailiang Road.

Liu Qi's face showed a look of worry, and he asked, "Does the military advisor know this?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "The military advisor naturally knows the way, and when the military advisor came yesterday, he also talked about it to the lord, but the lord turned a deaf ear...... Now the military division is actively deploying troops and preparing for defense, but Jingzhou has experienced a series of major events since the failure of Zhang Yan's northern expedition last year, which has directly led to the weakening of Jingzhou's strength a lot. When the time comes, I don't know how many people in Jingzhou will suffer from the scourge of war......"

Liu Qi asked, "Then didn't you and the military advisor discuss a good solution?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "Yes, yes, but this matter still needs the consent of the lord!" ”

Liu Qi hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "Judging from the current strength of our army, whether either Sun Quan or Zhang Yan launched an attack first, the other side will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob, and will also send troops to attack Jingzhou, in that case, we will be in a situation where we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs, and Jingzhou will inevitably be devastated by the war, and it will definitely be ruined, and the people will be displaced. Instead of sitting here and waiting for the enemy's attack, watching Jingzhou suffer from the scourge of war, his subordinates thought that it was better to take the initiative to sacrifice Jingzhou, or to ensure that Jingzhou was safe for a while, and the people would not be displaced and suffer from the war. ”

"You mean, surrender?" Liu Qi looked at Kuai Liang with a suspicious gaze.

Kuai Liang said: "Lord, this is not called surrender, this is called adapting to the times and knowing the current affairs." ”

Liu Qi sneered and asked, "Then what do you mean, should I give Jingzhou to Sun Quan or Zhang Yan?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "After Sun Quan got Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although his strength increased greatly, after all, it was only a corner of the country, and his strength and strength were far from being compared with Zhang Yan, the king of Yan in the north, Beiping Hebei, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were defeated under him one after another, and even Xianbei and Wuhuan were completely defeated by him. Besides, King Yan is the regent in the court, and the world is originally the court, but there are some people who are unwilling to be lonely and occupy all parts of the country and want to be the king. King Yan led the army of the imperial court, crusaded against rebellion, and recovered the old land, which is justifiable, a matter of course, and a good thing that conforms to the will of the people, no matter from which point of view, what King Yan did was trying his best to safeguard the interests of the imperial court. Jiangdong Sun Quan is not self-sufficient, stealing Jiangdong to stand on his own, he is a rebellious thief, and the lord is also a descendant of the Han family. Therefore, the lord should take the initiative to dedicate Jingzhou to King Yan. ”

As soon as Kuai Liang's words fell, the rest of the officials began to echo the voice, and the voice of surrendering Zhang Yan rose one after another, and it was even higher than the wave.

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly laughed, and the laughter suddenly interrupted everyone's words, and at the same time, Liu Qi's strange laughter made people even more creepy when they heard it, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Ha Lu haha......" Liu Qi's laughter became smaller and smaller, and after he stopped laughing, the expression on his face became iron-blue, and his eyes revealed incomparably sharpness, staring at Kuai Liang tightly, and said angrily: "A national thief, you actually said that it was so perfect." If you want to surrender, forget it, you dare to trick others into surrendering with you, not only that, but you want to give my Jingzhou as a gift to Zhang Yan, so as to become a stepping stone for you to curry favor with Zhang Yan, you are really well-intentioned! Unfortunately, I'm not stupid and will never fall for you. A person like you, who is a great rebel and sells for glory, should be cut with a thousand cuts! ”

As soon as the words fell, Kuai Liang suddenly became nervous, but he did not flinch, because he discussed with Sima Yi that there would be such a result in knowing that Kuai Dao would have such a result, but Sima Yi told Kuai Liang that he had persuaded all the pro-soldiers around Liu Qi that they would all choose to support Kuai Liang, so Kuai Liang would not be in any danger.

This has also become Kuai Liang's targeted capital, and he said to Liu Qi: "The lord is angry, I also did this for the sake of thousands of Li people in Jingzhou, the lord must not poison so many Li people because of his own selfish desires......"

"You good-looking guy, don't always use the people of Li Min as an excuse, you originally wanted to sneak attack, you have to use such an excuse as a shield, don't think that I don't know what kind of person your Kuai clan is, as long as you can protect your family's interests, you are willing to do anything!" Liu Qi interrupted Kuai Liang's words, pointed at Kuai Liang and the others and said: "And you, you people are all the same, always thinking about your own interests, are you worthy of your father who is still cold in the bones?" Your father treated you very well when he was alive, and less than three months after his death, you joined forces to do such a thing, you ...... You ......"

Having said this, Liu Qi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and directly ordered: "Come on, take down the traitor Kuai Liang, and immediately behead the public!" (To be continued......)
