Chapter 456: Zhang Yun's Conditions

"Go back to the governor, the man who came with the troops is none other than Young Master Qi!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Kuai Liang said to Zhang Yun.

"What? Is it Liu Qi?" Zhang Yun was shocked, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.

Isn't Liu Qi in Jiangxia? Where did he get the soldiers and horses?

Could it be that he randomly recruited thousands of people and ran to Fancheng, thinking that he could defeat the Han army with just a few thousand people?

If this is really the case, Zhang Yun can only say that Liu Qi is stupid, and then block the city more tightly.

In this way, the Han army outside the city can take action for him and kill Liu Qi.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yun's change of expression, Kuai Liang knew what Zhang Yun was thinking.

"Does the governor think that the eldest son has a mental illness and cannot recognize the reality, so he deliberately came to Fancheng to die?" Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Yun and said.

"Isn't it?" Zhang Yun snorted coldly, and then said: "Otherwise, he would lead thousands of people to Fancheng?"

"I really don't know how high the sky is!" Zhang Yun said angrily.

"Who told the governor that the eldest son only brought a few thousand people?" Kuai Liang asked unhappily.

He now looks down on Zhang Yun more and more. If he didn't still need Zhang Yun's power, he really wanted to trick Zhang Yun to death as well.

"It's not a few thousand, but a few hundred? Then I really think highly of him." Zhang Yun thought Liu Qi only had a few hundred people, and he was even more dissatisfied.

"To tell you the truth, the eldest son leads 70,000 Jiangxia elites and is lurking near Fancheng, ready to attack the Han army at any time." Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Yun, thinking that he was already involved and must be killed.

in the list.

"Seventy thousand? Impossible!" Zhang Yun jumped up immediately when he heard that Liu Qi had led an army of 70,000.

He knew very well that although Jiangxia was an important town in Jingzhou, its total military strength was only one hundred thousand.

Moreover, these 100,000 elite Jiangxia soldiers were all direct descendants of Huang Zu. Let alone Liu Qi, even if Liu Biao wanted to use these 100,000 soldiers, he would have to obtain Huang Zu's consent. Otherwise, Liu Biao would not be able to mobilize even one soldier after another.

Therefore, when Zhang Yun heard that Liu Qi had brought 70,000 Jiangxia troops to the vicinity of Fancheng, his first reaction was that it was all fake.

However, when he thought about it next, he felt something was wrong.

First of all, it is impossible to tell lies about whether there are 70,000 Jiangxia soldiers. After all, it is too easy to expose.

Secondly, if there were not 70,000 Jiangxia soldiers outside the city, then why did Kuai Liang say this?

Although Zhang Yun was still questioning whether Kuai Liang wanted to defect to the Han army just now, Zhang Yun knew that it was impossible for Kuai Liang to defect to the Han army.

Because there is no reason! For Kuai Liang, surrendering to the Han army can only lead to self-destruction.

After all, the emperor is shouting that he wants to eliminate the privileges of aristocratic families. At this time, taking refuge in the past is equivalent to sticking his head out and letting the emperor chop it off?

Since the possibility of Kuai Liang secretly defecting to the emperor is ruled out, it means that Kuai Liang will not lie to himself.

But if he hadn't lied to himself, how could Liu Qi have obtained the military power of Jiangxia Army?

You must know that Huang Zu valued the military power in his hands more than anything else. Even Liu Biao could not interfere with Jiangxia's military power issues.

Seeing that Zhang Yun couldn't figure it out, Kuai Liang didn't intend to hide it and said directly to Zhang Yun: "Is the Governor unable to figure it out?"

Zhang Yun nodded, waiting for Kuai Liang to explain to him.

"It's very simple, because Huang Zu sees it more clearly than anyone else. He knows that the eldest son is the one who can lead Jingzhou."

"Captain, don't rush to deny it. Think carefully about the gap between the eldest son and the second son."

"The eldest son was pushed out of Xiangyang by Cai Mao and went to Jiangxia alone for only one year. How is Jiangxia doing now?"

"Not to mention anything else, just say that during the one year of the eldest son's rule in Jiangxia, all the people in Jiangxia had a surplus of food at home."

"In the past, Jiangxia was the first stop to fight against the Sun family's invasion from Jiangdong. The people of Jiangxia suffered from the swordsmanship? But what about now?"

"Last year, the Sun family from Jiangdong was determined to seize our villages and towns in Jiangxia. It was the eldest son who led his servants, bodyguards and city officials to defeat the enemy."

"Domestically, we encourage reclamation and gain countless fertile fields. Opening up farmland and building water conservancy will make Jiangxia prosperous."

"It can be said that the eldest son has the demeanor of the lord when he was young, and he is a wise master."

"But what about the second young master? He only hides under the wings of the lord and Cai Mao. He doesn't know the art of war and governance, and he doesn't understand the suffering of the people. How can he become the lord of Jingzhou?"

"Let's talk about the general trend of the world. Let's not talk about the fight between us and the Emperor. Who is right and who is wrong? Who will have the last laugh? Even if I, Jingzhou, unite with other princes and can defeat the Emperor, will the world really be at peace?"

"Which one of Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan is not ambitious? If the second son succeeds as pastor of Jingzhou, how can we in Jingzhou be preserved? Can we stop Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan?"

"Don't mention Cai Mao. I think the governor knows better than me what Cai Mao is capable of."

"Let's talk about personal interests. What benefit does the Second Young Master have from inheriting Jingzhou as the governor?"

"If the Second Young Master is in power, Jingzhou will still be ruled by Cai Mao. Who will not be able to look at Cai Mao's face?"

"But the eldest son is different. The eldest son has never been welcomed by the family, so his foundation in Jingzhou is still shallow."

"If the governor can support the eldest son, does the governor think that the eldest son will rely on the governor to secure his position as pastor of Jingzhou?"

"At that time, will everyone in Jingzhou look at the face of the governor, or continue to look at Cai Mao's face?"

"Since the founding of our country, I, the Han Dynasty, have established direct descendants and virtuous people. Whether it is about virtuous people or direct descendants, the eldest son has the advantage. The only thing that is not as good as the second son is the support of the family."

"If the governor can unequivocally support the eldest son, then the benefits will naturally exceed the governor's imagination."

Kuai Liang quickly told Zhang Yun his opinion. In his opinion, as long as Zhang Yun was ambitious, he would naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

And Zhang Yun was just as Kuai Liang thought.

He was shocked when he heard Kuai Liang's analysis.

Yes, why should I always succumb to Cai Mao? He is obviously stronger than Cai Mao! (Zhang Yun thinks to himself)

Moreover, in terms of closeness, Zhang Yun's mother was Liu Biao's sister. When he was a child, Liu Biao's first wife, Mrs. Chen, also took great care of him.

But Liu Biao's wife, Cai, was a little more wary of herself.

And just as Kuai Liang said, Liu Qi has the advantage whether he is a wise man or a legitimate concubine, but he lacks the support of aristocratic families.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yun himself originally wanted to replace Cai Mao.

He just suffered from the lack of excuses and opportunities, and now, as Liu Qi led his troops, excuses and opportunities were presented to him.

If he fails to seize such a good opportunity, Zhang Yun feels that he will regret it when he sleeps in the future.

After figuring this out, Zhang Yun basically agreed to turn around and support Liu Qi.

However, the siege of Fancheng also made Zhang Yun a little worried, so Zhang Yun opened his mouth and said to Kuai Liang: "Sir, what I said makes sense."

"But as the saying goes, if you want to unite, you have to show your strength."
