Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
Kuai's study.
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, sitting opposite each other, are drinking tea.
Kuai Liang took a sip of tea, looked soft, and said slowly: "when Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan returned from Yuyang County, they launched Quyuan plow. This Qu Yuan Li has become popular in Jingzhou. "
"Pang and Huang have made countless profits."
"In addition, the bobbins made by Pang and Huang also began to be sold."
With deep eyes, Kuai Liang said, "it is said that these artifacts were all made by Zhang Xiu and sold by Pang and Huang. At the beginning, I expected that Zhang Xiu was not simple. I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was not only good at war, but also could make utensils. "
Kuai Liang is very concerned about Zhang Xiu.
The spies of the Kuai family in Nanyang County, when they hear the news, they will send it back to Kuai Liang first.
Kuai Yue chuckled and said, "brother, although Qu Yuan Li and the bobbin car play a great role, they are not uncommon things. Nowadays, Quyuan plow is spreading everywhere. It won't be long before it will be imitated everywhere. The profits of Pang and Huang will be thinner and thinner. "
Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "what you see is only the profit of Pang and Huang families. But have you ever seen that Zhang Xiu tied Pang and Huang together with the help of these gadgets. With the support of Pang family and Huang family, Zhang Xiu has a foundation in Jingzhou. "
As soon as Kuai Yue heard it, he suddenly realized.
He wanted to miss it.
Kuai Liang continued: "the most important thing is that Pang Degong took Zhang Xiu as his disciple. It's really unexpected."
Kuai Yue tut tut two times, said with emotion: "because of this, the LORD was very angry and dissatisfied with Lord pound. It's just that Pang Degong is a famous scholar in Jingzhou and the leader of Jingzhou taxi clan. The Lord can't help him. "
After a pause, Kuai Yue continued: "you know, at the beginning, the Lord asked the eldest son and the second son to worship Lord pound as a teacher, but he refused. This time, the Lord can't get by. If you want me to tell you, Lord pound is also a bit of a fool. He can't let the Lord down. "
Kuai Liang said with a light smile: "if I were Pang Degong, I would accept Zhang Xiu as an apprentice. As for Liu Qi and Liu Cong, they are mediocre people with mediocre ability, so it is difficult to become a great weapon. "
"Dong! Dong
Knock on the door, suddenly came from outside the study.
"Come in!"
Kuai Liang gave an order.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and the housekeeper rushed in. In the housekeeper's hand, holding a roll of bamboo slips, he handed it to Kuai Liang's desk and said, "master, you have an urgent report from Yuyang county."
Kuai Liang took over the bamboo slips, scanned them quickly, then handed them to Kuai Yue and said, "great things have happened in Nanyang County."
Kuai Yue took it over and looked at it.
The news recorded on the bamboo slips is that Wei Yan died in the war, the Huns went south, and Zhang Xiu issued the order to kill the Huns.
The news has spread to Xiangyang.
Kuai Yue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "it was arranged by the Lord that Wei Yan was the magistrate of Wan county. Although Wei Yan is young, his strength is not weak, but he is defeated directly. Zhang Xiu is more and more powerful. "
"Alas, once the Lord knows, he will be furious again."
"This time, Zhang Xiu can do it well."
"However, the Huns went south at this time, and Zhang Xiu directly fought. It has to be said that Zhang Xiu's courage was amazing. Everyone knows that the Huns are hard to deal with, but he is willing to go. "
Kuai Yue said, "I admire him for this."
Kuai Liang nodded slightly and said, "at the moment when the Huns are going south, Zhang Xiu can set an example by resisting the Huns. If Zhang Xiu could defeat the Huns, Jingzhou and even the whole country, it would spread the prestige of Zhang Xiu. This is actually an excellent opportunity for Zhang Xiu. "
Kuai Yue said: "although it's an opportunity, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be in danger of overturning. Moreover, Zhang Xiu is only in Yuyang county. Although she has won several battles, her comprehensive strength is not strong. "
"It is!"
Kuai Liang nodded and agreed with Kuai Yue's analysis.
After all, the Huns are hard to deal with.
Kuai Liang changed his words and continued: "although Zhang Xiu's situation is not very good, now it seems that Zhang Xiu has a sign of being the master. Wisdom, flexibility, courage and courage are extraordinary. "
Kuai Yue heard the speech, his heart thumped, his face seriously reminded: "brother, this word can't be spread, otherwise the Lord will kill you when he knows it."
Kuai Liang said, "I understand!"
"Newspaper!"
At this time, another attendant came to the door of the study and reported: "I'd like to inform master Yue that the prefectural prefecture has a decree. Liu Jingzhou asks you to go to the prefectural Prefecture immediately to discuss business."
"I see!"
Kuai Yue replied.
Kuai Liang turned his eyes and said, "second younger brother, it's very likely that Zhang Xiu and the Huns will be involved in this trip to the prefecture. In addition, if you can help Zhang Xiu, you can help him. "
Kuai Yue said, "I understand!"
He stood up, went straight out of the prefecture, and then went to the prefecture.After arriving at the prefecture, Kuai Yue went to Liu Biao's study. When he entered the room, Cai Mao had already arrived. Kuai Yue shakes his robes and bows his hands and says, "I'm a humble Kuai Yue. I'd like to meet you."
"Sit down!"
Liu Biao waved his hand.
The look on Liu Biao's face was very cold, as if it had been frozen for thousands of years.
After Kuai Yue was seated, Liu Biao opened his door to the mountain and said: "the news came from Nanyang County that Wei Yan was defeated and died, and Zhang Xiu won a complete victory. Fortunately, before Zhang Xiu captured Wan County, the Huns invaded. The invasion of Xiongnu people will hold back Zhang Xiu's pace to the north. However, Zhang Xiu issued the order to kill the Huns and led the troops to resist the Huns. What do you think of this matter? "
Kuai Yue took a deep breath and said: "Lord, Zhang Xiu killed Wei Yan. It's very bold. However, according to our previous agreement with Zhang Xiu, the area north of Yuyang county is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Xiu. "
"Wei Yan died in battle, we can't say anything, we can only be dumb to eat Coptis."
"After all, we don't make sense."
"This matter can only be written down hatred, with later looking for opportunities to deal with."
Kuai Yue said, "as for the Xiongnu people going south, it is related to the national righteousness. He suggested that the Lord choose a good general and send a team of soldiers to help him. He should solve the Huns' problems first, and then consider dealing with Zhang Xiu. In order to meet the domestic demand and settle the external problem, we first solved the external threat, and then closed the door to solve Zhang Xiu's problem. "
"No!"
Cai Mao said directly, negating: "I don't agree with the need for domestic demand and domestic demand. When the Huns went south, Zhang Xiu was exhausted. At this time, the empty rear of Zhang Xiu is a good time to attack her. "
Kuai Yue frowned.
He did not expect that Cai Mao would put forward such an opinion.
Or does Liu Biao have the same idea?
Only when Zhang Xiu went north to resist the Xiongnu, he went to attack the rear of Zhang Xiu. Once the news came out, what face did Liu Biao have?
This is absolutely impossible.
Kuai Yue took a deep breath and said in a dignified tone: "my Lord, the Huns are going south. When the news spreads all over the country, it must be known to the whole country. In particular, Zhang Xiu resisted the Huns and issued the order to kill the Huns. When the news spread, Zhang Xiu would gain popularity. "
"At this time, people will praise Zhang Xiu and think that Zhang Xiu has a responsibility."
"If we attack Zhang Xiu's rear area at this time, the news will spread, and people all over the world will despise and despise him. The reputation established by the Lord will be destroyed. "
"Moreover, Zhang Xiu is not a person of easy relationship."
"We use Liu PI and Gong du to kill people with a knife, but Liu PI and Gong Du die in Zhang Xiu's hands."
"We selected Wei Yan to go north, intending to stop Zhang Xiu, but Wei Yan was still defeated and killed."
"In the past, both Cai Mao and wenpin were captured by Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu's ability is not a good match. If Zhang Xiu had been destroyed earlier, it would have been better. Now that Zhang Xiu has become the climate, if we attack Yuyang County, it would be tantamount to openly tearing the skin with Zhang Xiu. "
Kuai Yue said: "if Zhang Xiu exterminates the Huns and moves his troops south to attack Xiangyang, how will the Lord face it? The Lord has the power of Jingzhou, and he will certainly be able to stop Zhang Xiu, but he is forced by Zhang Xiu, so he is afraid to make a fool of himself. "
Cai Mao sat on one side, his cheek twitching.
What's his business?
How to get him.
Cai Mao is extremely sensitive to being captured by Zhang Xiu. Cai Mao was afraid of Zhang Xiu from the bottom of his heart, but he also wanted revenge, so he encouraged Liu Biao to attack Zhang Xiu.
But he won't lead.
Beat him to death, also don't want to fight with Zhang Xiu.
After listening to Kuai Yue's words, Liu Biao thought it was this truth. After thinking about it, he looked at Cai Mao and said, "Cai Mao, what do you think?"
Cai Mao said: "Lord, I agree with Kuai Yue's opinion. I can't attack Zhang Xiu for the time being."
Liu said: "in that case, we will wait and see the change for a while. I hope that the Huns can make Zhang Xiu suffer. "
"My Lord is wise!"
Kuai Yue flatters, and his heart is relieved. He really doesn't want Liu Biao to make trouble with Zhang Xiu.
Liu Biao is not in a high mood, and he is a little listless.
Because Wei Yan was defeated.
He can't contain Zhang Xiu.
Liu Biao said something about Xiangyang, then waved his hand to let Cai Mao and Kuai Yue leave.
As they walked out of the prefecture, Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "you're helping Zhang Xiu to say good things everywhere. Did you take advantage of Zhang Xiu? "
"Ha..."
Kuai Yue sneered and said, "Cai Mao, I help Zhang Xiu for nothing else, just because I'm a Han Chinese. When the Huns entered Nanyang County, Jingzhou should be united as one. What's the ability to attack Zhang Xiu's rear area? You want to take revenge, go with all your might? I am willing to persuade the Lord to support you in leading the army. "
"You..."
Cai Mao is very angry.Let him attack the rear of Zhang Xiu, he dare not go.
He can't afford to provoke Zhang Xiu.
Kuai Yue said with disdain: "Cai Mao, stop jumping up and down. I know you hate Zhang Xiu, but be careful. The Cai family paid a big price to get you back. If you eat shriveled again, the Cai family can't afford it. "
"Kuai Yue, you have gone too far."
Cai Mao clenched his fist, hoping to hit Kuai Yue with one.
But if you think about it, you'll lose your mind.
Like the Kuai family, the Cai family is a big family in Jingzhou. Although Cai Mao's sister married Liu Biao, Cai Mao has this kind of relationship and is closer to Liu Biao, but the Kuai family is not weak.
When Kuai Yue heard Cai Mao's words, he hummed. As soon as Da Xiu brushed, he boarded the carriage and left.
He didn't want to talk to Cai Mao at all.
Back at the mansion, Kuai Yue went straight into the study. When he saw Kuai Liang, he said something about what happened in his study. Then he continued: "brother, Zhang Xiu owes us Kuai family a favor this time. If it wasn't for my persuasion, my Lord would have followed Cai Mao's advice and sent troops to attack Yuyang county. "
Kuai Liang said, "you have done a good job. This is what it should be. Yu Qing, we are optimistic about Zhang Xiu. It's not difficult to help him. Yu Li, if the Huns are killed, we Han people should go to resist. How can we be held back in the rear. You should help him with both feeling and reason. "
Kuai Yue said, "brother, you have a point."
Kuai liang thought for a while and said, "but my Kuai family has helped Zhang Xiu over and over again. I can't help her in vain. I'm going to let Kuai Qi go north and let him work under Zhang Xiu. "
Kuai Qi is the son of Kuai family and the cousin of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.
It's just that Kuai Qi is not the direct line of the Kuai family, but a branch. He is close to the brothers Kuai Liang.
Kuai Qi was in his early twenties.
Kuai Qi has not become an official now. To let Kuai Qi come under Zhang Xiu's command is tantamount to Kuai's family betting on Zhang Xiu.
Kuai Yue suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "brother, I'm under Zhang Xiu's command. Once the news comes out, I'll be known by my Lord. I'm afraid the Lord's heart will give birth to a knot in my Kuai family. "
Kuai Liang laughs and says, "different degrees, our Kuai family is in Jingzhou. Even if Liu Biao has an idea, what can he do? Moreover, each has his own purpose. Do you work for Liu Biao, and all the people in my Kuai family have to work for Liu Biao? "
"What kind of truth is that?"
"I don't approve."
"What's more, brother Qi's statement is not obvious, and his going to Zhang Xiu's command has no influence."
Kuai Liang said, "you worry too much."
Seeing that Kuai Liang had made a decision, Kuai Yue said, "since brother has made a decision, I'll tell brother Qi to prepare for it."
"Good!"
Kuai Liang nodded and stroked his beard with a smile.
Today, Kuai Liang has begun to lay out his plans for the future.
The Cai family put all their capital on Liu Biao. Originally, there was no Zhang Xiu. This is a good move. After all, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is the only one. But the emergence of Zhang Xiu broke this balance. Although Zhang Xiu's strength is weak, its potential is very strong.
In particular, Pang and Huang have made a decision that Kuai Liang should not lag behind others.
So, make a decision.
In Kuai Liang's view, the icing on the cake is never better than sending charcoal in the snow.
Just as Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou, there were countless thieves in the territory, and countless people refused to accept Liu Biao. With the Kuai family, Kuai Liang followed Liu Biao early, helped Liu Biao stabilize the situation, offered advice, made great contributions to Liu Biao, and got corresponding rewards.
Today, Zhang Xiu has not really risen.
At this time in Zhang Xiu side bet, help Zhang Xiu, etc. after the rise of Zhang Xiu, can get the corresponding benefits.
This is Kuai Liang's plan.
