Kuai Liang thought for a moment, and then replied: "Sun Quan of Jiangdong has a feud with Jingzhou, if we dedicate Jingzhou to him, he will not appreciate it, and Sun Quan has always only believed in his henchmen, so once Jingzhou arrives, he will inevitably send his henchmen to guard Jingzhou, and this person is none other than Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong." Although Zhou Yu is talented and quite military, he is also a narrow-minded person, and if he takes charge of Jingzhou, those of us who were enemies of Jiangdong in the past will inevitably be dealt a serious blow. ”

After hearing this, Sima Yi nodded again and again, and said slowly: "What the adult said is very reasonable. ”

Kuai Liang continued: "In contrast, Zhang Yan in the north not only occupies a vast area, but also has strong soldiers and horses, a lot of talents, and is even more knowledgeable. In recent years, Zhang Yan has successively destroyed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and even chased Xianbei and Wuhuan in the north, Liangzhou in the west, and Liaodong in the east, and has the potential to dominate the world. If it weren't for the old lord himself and Zhang Yan tearing their faces and taking the initiative to attack, I believe that Jingzhou would not have become what it is now. And the old lord's approach is bound to anger Zhang Yan, if I guess correctly, Zhang Yan must be actively arranging his troops, preparing to lead the army south, ready to seize Jingzhou. ”

After a pause, Kuai Liang saw that Sima Yi was listening attentively, and his voice increased a lot, and he said eloquently: "Instead of waiting for Zhang Yan to come and seize Jingzhou with a powerful army, it is better for us to take the initiative and dedicate Jingzhou to Zhang Yan, the king of Yan." Zhang Yan controls the entire imperial court, and is the regent as the king of Yan, and the major affairs of the military state depend on him alone, maybe Zhang Yan will reward us for taking the initiative to surrender. After Zhang Yan gets Jingzhou, he will inevitably use Jingzhou as a springboard. Together with the armies of Jinling and Lujiang. Flank Koto together. Swept through Unai. However, most of the northerners are not accustomed to water, and the Jiangdong naval army is relatively strong, and if you want to deal with Sun Quan in Jiangdong, you must defeat the Jiangdong naval army. If you want to defeat the Jiangdong navy, you must rely on us southerners, although the Jingzhou navy no longer exists, but in order to form a navy in a short time. Still no problem. And there are many people in Jingzhou who are familiar with water warfare, Zhang Yan wants to pacify Jiangdong, he must rely on us Jingzhou people, at least we can be reused, and there will be no danger of unloading the mill and killing the donkey! ”

After Sima Yi listened to Kuai Liang's analysis, he also had to admire Kuai Liang's eloquence, even if he had nothing to do with Zhang Yan, he would be moved by Kuai Liang's words. Moreover, the head of Kuailiang's analysis is the Tao, which is full of truth.

But. Sima Yi couldn't be so excited, he still had a gloomy face. said to Kuai Liang: "What the adults said is very reasonable. But I can understand the thoughts of the adults, but the lord may not understand, I am only worried that if we want to dedicate Jingzhou to Zhang Yan, it will be difficult for the lord to explain it......"

"Now that the lord has ignored the world, Jingzhou is in a state of internal and external troubles, and no one can provoke this beam except for the military advisor. Could it be that the military advisor wants to see the war raging in Jingzhou and the displacement of the people? Kuai Liang asked in a stiff tone.

Sima Yi said: "This ...... Actually, I think the same thing as my lord, but the lord trusts me so much, and I now have full authority to handle the affairs of Jingzhou, if I betray the lord, I am afraid that I will be infamous for being disloyal and unjust......"

"The winner is the prince and the loser! The military advisor should know this truth, right? Since Jingzhou is powerless to resist at all, why not adapt to the situation and dedicate Jingzhou to King Yan, after all the dust settles, King Yan will definitely continue to reuse the military division, and the military division can also continue to give full play to his talents and make contributions. Besides, Jingzhou was originally a Han dynasty, and Liu Biao was just ordered to shepherd Jingzhou back then, and now it is time to return Jingzhou to the Han court. Kuai Liang continued to lobby.

Sima Yi said: "The truth is this, but if I don't tell the lord about it, it will be disrespectful to the lord." It's better for us to try to advise the lord, maybe the lord will adopt it, and then it will not be too late for us to justifiably dedicate Jingzhou to Zhang Yan. ”

Kuai Liang said: "Now that the lord refuses to see anyone, how can we see the lord, and the lord is now immersed in sadness, how can we listen to it?" ”

"It's a matter of people. My lord, I am bothering you to gather some more people, call all the officials at all levels in Xiangyang City, and we will go together to give advice to the lord. As the saying goes, the wrath of the people is hard to do, maybe the lord will agree with us...... Of course, the officials you want to find must also be in line with the thoughts of adults, and if there is an opposing opinion, it will be difficult to do. Sima Yi said.

Kuai Liang nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be on me!" ”

After the two of them discussed, Kuai Liang left, and Sima Yi showed a sinister face, looking at Kuai Liang's distant back, his eyes were full of cruel and vicious eyes.

After Kuai Liang was completely far away, Sima Yi came to the courtyard where Liu Qi was alone, and asked to see Liu Qi outside the door again.

The soldiers informed Liu Qi as usual, saying that the general of the military division, Sima Yi, asked to see him and had important matters to discuss, but Liu Qi still closed the door.

This time, Sima Yi did not choose to compromise, but went straight to the door of Liu Qi's room, and shouted inside: "Lord, if you don't plan to see me now, I will be splashed with blood on the spot and die in front of you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi took advantage of the inattention of his own soldiers, and pulled out the sword worn by his own soldiers, and placed it under his neck.

Seeing this, the soldiers didn't dare to move, they were just begging bitterly, but Sima Yi turned a deaf ear, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, without the slightest intention of slacking off.

"Squeak", the door opened from the inside, Liu Qi was still wearing a cloak, looking at Sima Yi holding the long sword under his neck, and said: "Zhongda, you'd better have something very important, otherwise, I won't let you eat and walk around!" ”

"If I don't have something extremely important, how dare I threaten death?" Sima Yi is neither humble nor arrogant.

Liu Qi's previous angry face gradually dissipated, and he said to Sima Yi: "Put down the sword, you come in with me!" ”

Only then did Sima Yi put down the long sword in his hand, and gave it back to the soldiers beside him, and then stepped forward and stepped into Liu Qi's room.

"Close the door!" Liu Qi said to Sima Yi.

After Sima Yi closed the door, he saw that Liu Qi was already sitting on the edge of the bed, so he walked towards Liu Qi.

"What the hell is important to you, let's talk about it now!" Liu Qi asked.

Sima Yi said: "The brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are plotting to dedicate Jingzhou to Zhang Yan, the king of Yan......"

"What do you say? The Kuai brothers were their father's henchmen, how could they do such a thing? Liu Qi asked in surprise.

Sima Yi said: "The Kuai brothers only pay attention to the interests of their family, and the interests of their family are above all else, their brothers and the Cai family have often interacted with each other, after the Cai family was eliminated, I think they are the henchmen of the old master's side, it is very likely that they were threatened by Cai Mao, so they were forced to associate with the Cai family." Moreover, the Kuai brothers are also very prestigious Jingzhou talents, and when they were employing people, Jingzhou was also in a state of unrest, so I spared the lives of the Kuai brothers and did not treat them as Cai's party. However, who would have thought that the Kuai brothers would bewitch the rest of the officials and want to dedicate Jingzhou to Zhang Yan. ”

"Bastard, how dare this Kuai brother be so rebellious? Zhongda, immediately send someone to arrest the Kuai brothers and behead them on the spot! Liu Qi said.

Sima Yi said: "The lord is angry for the time being, if you send someone to arrest the Kuai brothers now, what if the news leaks and the Kuai brothers run away?" I have a plan to capture the Kuai brothers. ”

"Oh? What strategy? Liu Qi asked.

"The Kuai brothers bewitch the rest of the officials, and tomorrow they will inevitably force the lord to comply, at that time, the lord can capture the Kuai brothers in a net, and then directly ask and behead on the spot, as long as the Kuai brothers die, the rest of the people will naturally not dare to move, and they will inevitably bow down to the lord, which is called catching the thief and capturing the king first!" Sima Yi said.

After Liu Qi heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed and said: "Zhong Da is still smart, and only you can come up with such a strategy, you only need to use a few personal soldiers, and you don't need to bother at all." However, after the Kuai brothers die, you have to lead the troops to raid the house, kill all the Kuai clan, leave no one behind, and cut the grass to the roots, so as not to leave a disaster! ”

Sima Yi nodded, and said to Liu Qi: "Lord, in order to keep it secret, this matter must not be publicized to the outside world, so as not to leak the news, the Kuai brothers have been in Jingzhou for many years, and they have a wide range of contacts, so they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

Liu Qi said: "I don't leave home here, you and me are just two people here, who can I talk to?" Zhongda, you've worked hard these days, and after my three-month wake for my father expires, you won't have to work so hard. ”

In the ancients, no matter who died, as a son, he had to keep filial piety for his parents for three years, but because of Liu Qi's special status, Sima Yi and others originally suggested that Liu Qi keep filial piety for three days, but Liu Qi felt that three days was too short, and three years was too long, so it was set at three months.

From then on, Liu Qi turned his living room into his father's mourning hall, alone, keeping vigil for his father in the house, and handed over all matters to Sima Yi to deal with. Now Liu Qi has more and more days of wake, it has been two months and five days, as long as it is another twenty-five days, his wake's deadline will be up, and he can come out of the mourning hall and continue to serve as his Jingzhou pastor.

It's just that Liu Qi doesn't know what he said is that these twenty-five days are not long, not short, but they are enough to make Jingzhou change hands, and when his wake-up period is up, maybe Jingzhou has surrendered to the feet of Zhang Yan, the king of Yan. And all this is because of Sima Yi...... (To be continued......)
