Chapter 357

A decree was lying alone on Liu Biao's desk, and what was written on it was not important. What was important was that it was covered with Cao Cao's bright red seal, like a mouth full of fangs, swallowing the person who saw it at any time.

Liu Biao looked at the thin edict blankly. He really didn't expect that he was at this age and had a few days to have a safe birthday. The young man from Cao Cao was so good that Sun Quan had no choice but to make a move.

Of course he knew that Cao Cao could not resist at all. If he didn't listen to him, the hundreds of thousands of Cao troops would occupy the entire Jingxiang within half a year.

Moreover, for four months in the past six months, Cao's army was gathering, one month of marching, and one month of war was probably enough.

But I was reluctant to give up the nine counties of Jingxiang for free. The power was so beautiful that I could capture it every day. Besides, I was a relative of the Han Dynasty after all.

When Liu Biao thought of these four words, he remembered Liu Bei again. This brother was also holding the banner of the Han family, but he didn't live very well in Xinye.

"Please ask for different degrees, sub-degree."

Jing Xiang has a lot of talents, but he has some vision and political acumen. These two brothers must be the ones.

As for Han Song and Fu Xun, with their little thoughts, they must have surrendered Cao Cao without saying a word. Liu Biao never thought about discussing with them.

The Kuai brothers came soon, bowed to Liu Biao, and sat down.

"Zi Rou, different ways. Now Cao Cao is going to lead his troops south to swallow up the nine counties of Jingxiang. There is an edict here." Liu Biao said with a somewhat hesitant expression and pointed to the edict, "I wonder what you two can teach me?"

The two looked at each other, and Kuai Yue paused, as if he was preparing the wording. After a while, he said carefully: "What is the Unknown Mansion plan?"

Seeing that the two of them did not say their thoughts, they asked their thoughts first. Liu Biao didn't understand why he sighed and said, "I don't know how powerful Cao Cao is, but Jingzhou has been working hard for many years, and once it is given to others, I feel unwilling to accept it."

When the Kuai brothers knew it, they said, "Since this is the case, it is better for the Duke to send some people, horses, food and grass, Liu Bei, and Cao, and they have a slight relationship with Zhang Zhiming and Xu Shu's plans. If they can stop it, the Duke will send all the troops from all provinces to help the battle. If the battle is unfavorable, the Duke can also make plans early."

Liu Biao smiled and made plans early, but he had surrendered, but he surrendered without fighting a battle. He was really unwilling to accept it, so he said, "This plan is great! Who can help Xuande?"

"Wang Weike!"

Of course, the Kuai brothers also had plans. They said so, but they responded to the situation. Of course, they knew that Wang Wei and Liu Bei could not be Cao Cao's opponent, but after saying so, at least they fulfilled their obligations as an aide.

There is another reason. Liu Biao also knew that Zhuge Liang had an elder sister who married Kuai Qi, the prefect of Fangling at that time, and a second sister who married Pang Shanmin, another member of the great clan in Jingzhou.

(This incident should have happened after Liangliang moved to Jingzhou. The hidden conditions in this book were obviously not triggered, but... I will just read it.)

As a result, two of the largest families in Jingzhou, Kuai, Pang and Cai, had related relatives to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang himself was favored by the generals of the dynasty for his outstanding performance in the Cao Pi rebellion and was granted official positions. This was an amazing achievement for a student who had not yet graduated from the Military Academy.

Obviously, the future of those who follow Cao Cao is unlimited. Although the Kuai brothers are very trusted by Liu Biao, their family power is too strong and their official positions are not as good as Wang Jie.

Wang Jie's talent is no worse than Zhang Song's, and even his appearance is comparable!

History records that he was "not as famous as his appearance and weak in body". Liu Biao originally planned to call him as a son-in-law of the East Sleeping, but unfortunately, Liu Biao paid great attention to appearance, and secondly, he was too fictitious, so the matter was left unresolved, which became a great regret for Wang Jie.

However, his ability to remember everything shocked the world, and his literature and science were well understood. Even Cai Yong was so panicked that he wore his shoes back to greet him when he heard that he was visiting the mansion. This shows that he was so angry that he wore his shoes back to greet him.

However, his success was also after Cao Cao's return. He had a good relationship with Cao Cao's two sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. After his death, Cao Pi personally took someone to attend the funeral and said that Zhong Xuan liked to hear the sound of donkeys roaring the most during his lifetime. Let's learn to call the donkeys and see him off. So the loud sound of donkeys in the cemetery became an eternal masterpiece in the history of literature.

Although he was not satisfied with Liu Biao and was just an aide, Liu Biao felt that he was owed to him for getting married, and secondly, he was a fellow villager with Liu Biao. The ancients had a strong sense of rural concepts, so his status was still very high.

As soon as the Kuai brothers left Liu Biao's mansion, they immediately headed straight to Cai's mansion.

The reason is very simple. Most of the time, the children of a large family are not the lord they serve, but the entire family. For the sake of the family, they can sacrifice everything, even their lords. The Kuai family and the Cai family have a close relationship, but they are said to be prosperous and both prosper and both suffer.

The two hurried to Cai’s mansion and knew each other well. Naturally, they didn’t need to inform them and went straight into the living room to wait for Cai Mao.

When Cai Mao slowly sorted out, the two couldn't wait to tell him the news that Cao Cao was about to go south, waiting to see his shocked expression.

How could they know that Cai Mao just said "Oh" without hesitation, and there was no expectation of the two of them.

"Degui, you have to make plans for this matter early! Why are you not too slow yet?" Kuai Liang was a little anxious, and his tone was unconcealed and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Such political events have serious consequences. If you stand in the wrong team, you may have to accept the most serious consequences of standing in the wrong team - the entire family's power is uprooted, which is something that all the clans are unwilling to see.

Therefore, many times they will show goodwill between the two sides and never offend one party.

When Yuan Shao was in power, they hugged his thighs tightly. When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, they ran to lick Cao Cao's toes.

Family is the most important thing, namely reputation and face, where is the survival of a family more important?

"You two are a little restless. Of course Mao knew that you were kind-hearted, otherwise he would not come to tell me the news."

Cai Mao smiled mysteriously, which made the two of them feel urged to beat him up.

"It's just that someone has told me."

Cai Mao smiled and took out a letter with a hot paint from his underwear.

In fact, the two of them didn't come to the door, and Cai Mao was also preparing to find them. After all, this was a big deal. It would be unreasonable to leave the relationship between the two families there without any help from the brothers.

The two of them stretched their heads and looked over. The envelope only had a word about flying dragons and phoenixes: "Feng!"

Front?

Front!

Almost at the same time, both of them had their eyes straightened. Kuai Yue almost trembled and stretched out his fingers, lit up Cai Mao's nose and asked, "It's stumped...yes..."

"Not bad!" Cai Mao was very satisfied with the expressions of the two, and shouted at the same time: "There is something important to discuss, and people are allowed to guard the door. No one is allowed to enter or listen to them in front of you. Violators will be killed!"

After a chaotic pace outside gradually faded, Kuai Du asked with a sensation: "Degui is indeed capable, and he can actually catch the line of the general!"

Kuai Yue guessed: "Is it the news sent by the second son of the Zhuge family?"

I couldn't help but feel sad. My family was married to the Zhuge family. Hello, Zhuge's second son didn't send it to us but did it to Lao Cai. What does it mean to be? Turning his elbow out?

"No! Zhuge Lao Er is still in Xuchang. The news that the King of Wei was going south came. This letter came as soon as he came. How could it be Zhuge Lao Er's credit?"

"Is it still the general who took the initiative to find you?"

Kuai Liang smiled. Although he didn't understand what was going on, how could the dignified general come to find this old boy on his own initiative, but no matter what, this is a good thing. Since the other party has actively extended an olive branch, it would be a fool if he doesn't catch it well.

Taking the initiative to surrender and being persuaded to surrender are two different treatments.

"Not bad! It was the general who took the initiative to find me!"

The two of them were afraid that they would not believe it, Cai Mao was so proud that the oil on his nose shimmered. He pulled the letter out of the envelope, shook it away heroically, and reached it in front of them.

The eyes of the two people were like scanners, looking carefully one by one, wrapping the lines, and then scanning...

"I have the clan's children come to Ye and listen to Xuan..."

Both of them were excited to see this. They could ask their family members to go to Yecheng. Although they were just listening to Xuan and had not arranged their positions yet, it was only a matter of time. How bad would it be if they held Lao Cao, the thickest thigh of the entire man?

Besides, if there are people in the central government, the local government will be able to do things. Once Yecheng has its own people, then what will happen if Jingzhou is still the one who says it?

Although the emperor is in Xuchang, Zhu knows that the current political power center is definitely in Yecheng! Liu Xie is surrounded by only a few stubborn antiques, fools who are calling for a life and death with the emperor.
