Chapter 21

Liu Biao was furious in his heart and continued: "it can't be done like this. If I admit it, where is my face? How would Jingzhou scholars treat me. Kuai Liang, we must find out clearly and let the Cai family take the initiative to undertake this matter. "

Kuai Liang hears the speech, but he is silent.

He did not speak.

In Jingzhou, the Cai family is deeply rooted and powerful. Although Liu Biao was the leader of Jingzhou, he could not dictate to the Cai family, let alone force the Cai family to admit.

In particular, Liu Biao can gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and the Cai family has made great efforts. Without the full support of the Cai family, Liu Biao could not have established himself in Jingzhou in a short time.

"Alas..."

Liu Biao couldn't help sighing.

He came back to understand that it was impossible to force the Cai family to admit it. At this moment, Liu Biao's face was full of helplessness and asked, "Sir, is there really no other way?"

"There is no other way."

Kuai Liang shook his head and replied: "those who stay at the scene are all dead, and there is no proof of death. In addition, there are Jingzhou's standard bow and arrow, which all point to the Lord, not to the Cai family. "

"It's impossible to identify the Cai family."

"When he came to the inn to see Zhang Xiu, he had already said that he would leave early tomorrow morning and was not willing to continue the negotiation. I have said before that if Zhang Xiu stays in Jingzhou, the Lord can ignore her with a shelf. "

"But now, if Zhang Xiu takes the initiative to leave Xiangyang, the Lord will be very passive. You can expect that when Zhang Xiu leaves, she will certainly publicize the attack. "

Kuai Liang said: "in today's situation, you don't do it, you have to carry it down. Otherwise, there will be no talk. "

Liu Biao clenched his fist and his face turned red with anger.

It's bullying.

Liu Biao was a royal family member, a noble nobleman and a real feudal official in Jingzhou. However, it was reduced to carrying the pot for others.

Liu Biao said coldly: "Sir, if you go out and directly dispatch troops to kill Zhang Xiu?"

Kuai Liang said: "Lord, Cai Mao and wenpin are still in Zhang Xiu's hands. If the Lord mobilizes soldiers to deal with Zhang Xiu, it means giving up Cai Mao and wenpin, and their lives will be in danger. "

"If you don't care about CAI Mao and wenpin, the consequences will be even more serious."

"When Cai Mao died, the Cai family and the guild were divorced. Wenpin is a general promoted by the Lord himself. Regardless of wenpin's life and death, the soldiers in the army will feel cold. "

"It's almost impossible to kill Zhang Xiu."

Kuai Liang is also very helpless, said: "the Lord's current situation, has been forced to the corner, no choice."

Gudong!

Liu Biao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his face was full of unwilling expression.

In his heart, incomparable want to go out without negotiation, directly kill Zhang Xiu. But if we don't negotiate, we will ignore Wen pin and Cai Mao, which is equivalent to indirectly killing Wen pin and Cai Mao.

"Alas..."

Liu Biao sighed again.

After thinking about it, Kuai Liang suggested: "Lord, for today's plan, we can only negotiate with Zhang Xiu. What I'm worried about is that Zhang Xiu will take advantage of this and ask for more benefits. "

Liu Biao said helplessly: "since there is no choice, let's negotiate."

Kuai Liang bowed and said, "tomorrow morning, Zhang Xiu will leave Xiangyang. I went to Ping'an Inn early in the morning and invited Zhang Xiu to the prefecture for negotiation. "

"Yes!"

Liu Biao agreed directly.

The situation became more and more complicated. Liu Biao was extremely agitated. He was not willing to toss again. If he wanted to negotiate, he would negotiate earlier. Liu Biao just wants to solve the problem as soon as possible and let Zhang Xiu go as far as possible.

Kuai Liang was very tired after a busy day. He left his study, went out of the prefecture, and went straight back to his house to have a rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

At dawn, Kuai Liang came to Ping'an inn.

After a while, Zhang Xiu and his party went downstairs.

Kuai Liang began to smile on his face. He immediately welcomed him and said, "General Zhang, my Lord, please go to the prefecture to talk about wenpin and Cai Mao."

"Don't talk about it!" said Zhang Xiu

Kuai Liang said: "General Zhang, my Lord has given me enough sincerity."

Zhang Xiu said: "if Liu Biao's sincerity is to invite me to negotiate, I would rather not. After all, what happened last night has yet to come to a conclusion. "

Kuai Liang had a long history of this and replied, "I didn't arrange the attack on the inn last night. After the Lord ordered a thorough investigation, it was found that the following officials made the arrangements without authorization. "

"The person who arranged it was Cai Mao's subordinate."

"This man has great respect for Cai Mao. As soon as Cai Mao was arrested, he assembled people in the army, and deployed the standard weapons in the army to win back Cai Mao.

Kuai Liang said: "about the attack on the inn. My Lord is very sorry. Today, the Lord has dealt with the officials who make decisions without authorization and put them in prison. "Zhang Xiu said, "is that all?"

Kuai Liang asked, "what else do you want from general Zhang?"

Zhang Xiu said, "at least we have to make up for it."

If a simple apology, you can eliminate last night's things, Zhang Xiu does not need to make so much trouble. He pretended to leave Xiangyang, is to borrow last night's things, let Liu Biao blame.

Kuai Liang secretly said that Zhang Xiu was cunning, but he said: "General Zhang, please don't worry. The Lord has already said that in the next negotiation, he will take the attack on the inn into account and won't let general Zhang suffer."

Zhang Xiu said: "OK, let Liu Biao come to Ping'an inn. Let's talk about it in detail in the inn."

"Ah

Kuai Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "General Zhang, it's more appropriate to be in the prefecture for such an important matter."

"There are two reasons why I think so," Zhang said

"First, I'm afraid that after I leave the inn, I'll repeat what happened last night. Prevention is not a bad thing. Second, what happened last night was that Liu Biao was wrong. Now Liu Biao wants to negotiate. Naturally, he comes in person to show his sincerity. "

Zhang Xiu said: "Mr. Kuai, I come here with sincerity. Since Liu Biao is sincere, shouldn't he go to Ping'an Inn? If he wants to negotiate, he will come in person, or he won't talk about it. "

Kuai Liang scratched his head.

Zhang Xiu is too difficult to deal with. One thing after another, even he is afraid of Zhang Xiu.

"Well, I'll invite the Lord."

Kuai Liang didn't want to be fussy, so he had to answer.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile, "I'll wait for your news."

"Goodbye!"

Kuai Liang turned and left.

Zhang Xiu looks at Kuai Liang's back as he leaves, and a fine light flashes in her eyes. The reason why he set the place of negotiation at the inn was on purpose. Because this negotiation, if Liu Biao is willing to come to the inn, it proves that Liu Biao is making concessions step by step.

This is conducive to Zhang Xiu's negotiation.

Everything is a stratagem.

When Zhang Xiu came back to her room and saw Cai Mao, she said with a smile, "general Cai, congratulations. Liu Biao is about to come to the inn for negotiation. After the negotiation, you will no longer be a prisoner. "

Cai Mao felt bitter in his heart.

After he admitted last night, he thought about it carefully. He thought that Liu Biao could infer what the Cai family had done sooner or later, even if Zhang Xiu didn't say it. Even if he gets rid of Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao will not like it.

Anyway, he's out of luck.

Zhang Xiu saw that Cai Mao didn't speak and didn't say much, waiting quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a soldier came to report that Liu was walking towards the inn. Zhang Xiu did not end shelf, out of the room, in person to the inn door waiting.

When Liu Biao arrived, Zhang Xiu looked as if there was no conflict between the two sides. She arched her hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, please come inside!"

"Please

Liu Biao nodded and strode into the inn.
