Zhang Xiu was obedient to Kuai Qi and loyal to Pang Tong. With the help of them, the affairs of Wan county were settled in just two days, and they were on the right track together.
The former magistrate of Wan county was Wei Yan, and the county magistrate was Deng Ning. But no matter Wei Yan or Deng Ning, they all died in the hands of Zhang Xiu. Wan county is leaderless.
Zhang Xiu appointed a new county magistrate and a county magistrate. After all the arrangements were made properly, she led the army northward.
Now Zhang Xiu is surrounded by Pang Tong and Xu Shu, as well as Gan Ning and Chen Dao, who are both civil and military. This is really the foundation.
When Zhang Xiu went north, the news that two thousand Huns were killed began to spread around Nanyang County.
Liu Biao was the first to get the news.
He paid close attention to Zhang Xiu.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiu was a broken settlement from Guanzhong to Jingzhou, helpless and weak. Even though Zhang Xiu has taken Cai Mao and wenpin hostage, Liu Biao's heart has never looked up to Zhang Xiu.
After all, Zhang Xiu has to rely on him.
Without his support, Zhang Xiu is rootless Ping.
But after Zhang Xiu left Xiangyang and arrived at Yuyang, she killed Gong Du and Liu PI first, and then killed the Deng family. She quickly established herself and had a certain strength, which made Liu Biao feel uneasy and afraid of Zhang Xiu.
Recently, when Zhang Xiu killed Wei Yanhou, Liu Biao was not only afraid, but also worried.
Worried about Zhang Xiu sitting big.
But Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with.
Liu Biao's heart is pinned on the Huns. He hopes that the Huns will defeat Zhang Xiu, and both sides will lose. Finally, he will come out to clean up the mess.
But Liu Biao was disappointed again.
Zhang Xiu killed two thousand Huns without a single soldier, and killed Zuo Xian King Hu Chuquan.
The news has spread.
The streets and alleys of Xiangyang City, inside and outside the prefecture, are discussed by countless people. When people mentioned Zhang Xiu, they were all in a state of praise and admiration.
Liu Biao is mad with anger.
He did not expect that Zhang Xiu would win so easily.
Liu Biao couldn't listen to the people in his family. When he met them, he punished them severely and ordered them not to talk about Xiongnu.
For a time, the prefecture turned pale when it came to slavery.
In the study.
Liu Biao sat down and thought for a long time. After that, he ordered people to invite Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.
After a while, the two entered.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue took their seats after saluting. Cai Mao took the initiative to say, "my Lord, what's the matter?"
Liu Biao said directly: "Zhang Xiu killed two thousand Huns without a single soldier, and killed huchuquan, the king of Zuo Xian. This matter has spread all over the streets. What do you think? "
Cai Mao's face changed greatly, and said, "Lord, is it a rumor sent by Zhang Xiu?"
"The news is confirmed," Liu said
Kuai Yue sat at the bottom with no change in his expression. The Kuai family always pays attention to the war in Nanyang County. After Zhang Xiu defeated the Huns, the Kuai family soon got the news.
So he's not surprised.
Cai Mao said with a cold face: "Lord, you see, Zhang Xiu has defeated the Huns now. If she goes north, she will be invincible. In a very short time, Zhang Xiu will definitely control Nanyang County to the north of Yuyang county. "
At this point, Cai Mao snorted and said sarcastically, "Lord, if you hadn't listened to Kuai Yue's suggestion and let Zhang Xiu fight with the Huns, Zhang Xiu would not have been big. This time, it's all Kuai Yue's fault. "
Liu Biao didn't speak and looked directly at Kuai Yue.
He waited for Kuai Yue's explanation.
Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Mao, disdained to smile, and said: "the reason why my Lord didn't send troops to attack Zhang Xiu has already been explained, so I don't need to repeat it."
"As for Zhang Xiu sitting big, it's not pleasant to say. If you really believed Cai Mao's words before, and went to attack the rear of Zhang Xiu, you would really tear your face with Zhang Xiu."
"After Zhang Xiu defeated the Huns with thunder, he didn't need to send troops and fight for the main bus at all. He just needed to send a message that Zhang Xiu was fighting against the Huns in the front, but the Lord attacked the rear secretly."
"After this news comes out, what reputation does the LORD have?"
"What do people think of the Lord?"
Kuai Yue said: "the Lord is a famous person in the world, and he is also a vassal. The attack on Zhang Xiu's rear area is despised. It's not worth the loss. "
Liu Biao stroked his beard and nodded: "what he said in different degrees is really reasonable. This time, the gains and losses did not attack Zhang Xiu, otherwise they would really feud with Zhang Xiu. The situation is very bad. "
Cai Mao smoked from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't understand Liu Biao. He hated Zhang Xiu and wanted to stop her, but he didn't want to offend her.
In CAI Mao's opinion, Liu Biao has enough strength, and is far more powerful than Zhang Xiu. In this case, killing Zhang Xiu has no effect.
He doesn't care what happens in the future.
Kill Zhang Xiu first.Unfortunately, Liu Biao would not think so.
Cai Mao's eyes were cold and he said, "my Lord, I have something to report."
Liu Biao said, "what's the matter?"
Cai Mao squinted at Kuai Yue and said, "I have heard that Kuai Qi of the Kuai family has gone north to Nanyang County and gone to Wan county to join Zhang Xiu."
Liu Biao's face suddenly darkened.
When he looked at Kuai Yue, there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes. He is very good at Kuai's family. Even if Kuai Liang retired, he would send people to express his sympathy to Kuai Yue.
Unexpectedly, the Kuai family supports Zhang Xiu.
It's ingratitude.
Liu Biao took a deep breath, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "strange degree, is this really the case?"
"Yes!"
Kuai Yue answered directly.
Liu Biao said, "what's your explanation?"
Kuai Yue chuckled and said, "my Lord, it's very common. What should I explain? Although Kuai Qi is a child of the Kuai family, he has become an adult. He has his own ideas and his own way to go. "
"Moreover, Kuai Qi's hot-blooded youth, after hearing Zhang Xiu's order to kill the Huns, was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to go to the battlefield to attack the Huns with Zhang Xiu."
"Such a thing happened not only in Kuai's family, but also many other Rangers and common people in Jingzhou went to Nanyang County to attack Xiongnu people with Zhang Xiu."
"It's a common thing."
"Besides, everyone has his own aspirations. Kuai Qi has his own ideas. I can't force him to do things he doesn't want to do."
Kuai Yue said: "I heard that the Xunzi family in Yingchuan was full of talents. The people led by Xunzi followed Yuan Shao, while Xunzi and Xunyou followed Cao Cao. There is nothing wrong with that."
"It's a personal pursuit."
"Kuai Qi wants to follow Zhang Xiu, so if the Lord and Zhang Xiu are against each other and want to fight against Zhang Xiu, Kuai Yue has no hesitation and should stand on the opposite side of Kuai Qi."
"This is a position, not an identity."
Kuai Yue said: "the loyalty of humble duty, please master Ming Jian."
After listening to Liu Biao, he looked a little better, but Kuai Qi's business was always a knot in one's heart.
He always feels unhappy.
However, Liu Biao didn't say any more. As soon as the words changed, he said, "now that Zhang Xiu is in a big position, what do you say to do? How can we contain Zhang Xiu? "
Kuai Yue shook his head and said: "after Zhang Xiu killed huchuquan, her fame has greatly increased and it has become the climate. For the time being, I didn't contain Zhang Xiu's plot, so I had to wait and see what happened. "
"Alas..."
Liu Biao heard the speech and sighed again.
Kuai Yue said: "if the Lord is really worried, it's better to let Cai Mao lead his troops to Xinye and take charge of the Xinye border. With the relationship between CAI Mao and Zhang Xiu, he will go all out. "
"No, no, I'm not going!"
Cai Mao didn't even think about it and refused.
He is not willing to face Zhang Xiu. He would rather stay in Xiangyang than face Zhang Xiu.
Liu Biao knew what Cai Mao thought, but he didn't say much, but he shook his head in his heart. Although Cai Mao was the chieftain of the Cai family, his ability was too ordinary for mud to support him.
Liu Biao's heart is filled with regret.
As early as I knew, I shouldn't let Zhang Xiu be a big man. I should even kill Zhang Xiu in spite of the lives of CAI Mao and wenpin.
Everything is too late.
Zhang Xiu has become the climate.
