"My lord, Yuan Shao is the governor of Nanyang. What if my lord is giving him a county?"
"Zirou, let's take a long-term approach to this."
As soon as Kuai Yue finished speaking, Liu Biao was stunned. Yuan Shao was already the governor of Nanyang. If he was given a county as a gift, who else could control him?
"Lord, what if this county is Changsha County?"
After Kuai Yue finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curved in an arc.
"Zirou means one peach kills two people?"
Liu Biao also understood in an instant that Changsha County belonged to Sun Jian and not to him. If he consecrated Yuan Shao as the governor of Changsha as Jingzhou Mu, how could he not eat the meat put into his mouth with Yuan Shao's dog temper?
"But isn't that too obvious?"
Kuai Yue's plan is good, but it is a bit too blatant, and everyone can see it.
"Well, yes, killing two men with one peach is a serious conspiracy. Even if Yuan Shao doesn't fall for it, as long as this relationship exists, their grudge has been sown. Unless Sun Jian is willing to become Yuan Shao's subordinate, otherwise
.”
There is no need for Kuai Yueming to say what follows. With this relationship, they may not be able to be in the same trench.
Facing Kuai Yue, Liu Biao couldn't help but want to slap him. It's true that conspiracies are easy to thwart, but conspiracy is hard to guard against.
"What about the second option?"
Since the first strategy is already a serious conspiracy, I still don’t know what the second strategy is.
"The second strategy is a bit of a sacrifice."
Before Kuai Yue finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Biao.
"speak."
Seeing Kuai Yue's gaze, Liu Biao didn't know what his plan was, but it was definitely not a good thing.
"My lord, your daughter has now grown up, and Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and Sun Jian's son Sun Ce is also a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. If you put out the word and call on the entire Jingzhou County to recruit a son-in-law,
Whoever becomes your son-in-law Chenglong is the number one young man in Jingzhou. At the same time, he is spreading rumors to instigate Sun Ce and Yuan Tan to fight for their reputation. I believe these two young masters will have to fight at some point."
Kuai Yue's second plot was also Chi Guoguo's conspiracy. The Eastern Han Dynasty was a society of scholars, a society of competition for reputation. Whoever had a good reputation would not need to find counselors or generals, they would come and join him.
"No, I refuse. My daughter is my treasure, how can I recruit a son-in-law so easily? Besides, it's Yuan Shao and Sun Jian. What if they threaten me with Niu Niu?"
Liu Biao shook his head. He had a daughter who was very precious. When he heard that Kuai Yue wanted to have his daughter's idea, he naturally didn't want to.
"My lord, how can you delay the affairs of the state because of your children's affair?"
When Kuai Yue heard Liu Biao's refusal, his face instantly turned into a dye shop.
"Zirou, I can agree to everything else, but not this one. I think it's enough to kill two people with one peach, so let's forget about the honey trap."
Liu Biao refused again.
"Lord."
Before he even boasts, Kuai also has something to say.
"I have made up my mind. Huang Zu leads 20,000 troops to Jiangxia to defend Sun Jian. The remaining troops will follow me back to Jingzhou."
After Liu Biao finished speaking, he immediately turned away and walked back, without giving Kuai Yue a chance to speak again.
Kuai Liang came to Kuai Yue and looked at his elder brother's stinky face. He was also very depressed.
"Hey, it will be difficult for Jingzhou to be pacified from now on."
Kuai Yue looked at the sky, his eyes full of loneliness.
"Brother."
Kuai Liang felt that a lot of words were coming to his throat, but he couldn't say them out.
"Stop talking and go back to Jingzhou."
After finishing speaking, Kuai Yue shook his head and followed Liu Biao back to Jingzhou.
The Battle of Sanjindu came to an end. Liu Biao's Jingzhou Army suffered heavy casualties. More than 20,000 people were killed or injured. However, Sun Jian did not have a hard time. Counting the 5,000 disciples brought by Sun Ce, the army of more than 10,000 people only brought back a mere seven.
Thousands of horses.
There is no winner between the two, the only ones who can laugh are Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who directed all this.
After the Battle of Sanjindu, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty entered a brief period of peace. The prefects, governors, state herders of various counties, including the Yellow Turbans and the tribes of the grasslands outside the Great Wall, were all accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity.
In 190 AD, the first half of the first year of Chuping passed by in such a hurry. Whether it was the eighteen princes' attack on Dong, the battle for Jizhou between Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan, or the battle of Sanjin Crossing between Sun Jian and Liu Biao, it was all exciting.
Nervous and exciting.
Other places have stopped fighting, but the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have become more and more fierce. The Black Mountain Army, which is also a Yellow Turban, has not been idle. In the seventh month of the golden autumn, the Black Mountain Army Yu Du, Bai Rao, Mu Gu and others led more than 100,000 rebels. Strategy
Weijun and Dongjun.
Among them, Yu Du led an army of 60,000 to attack Wei County, Bairao, and Mu Gu led an army of 50,000 troops to attack Dong County. The governor of Wei County was Li Cheng, who was transferred from the original Zhongshan Kingdom.
Facing the poisonous Yellow Turban Army, Li Cheng asked the people to enter the city to guard against the Black Mountain bandits, and at the same time sent a military report to Yuan Shu to ask for reinforcements.
Yu Du's Yellow Turban Army encountered obstacles at every turn in Wei County at the beginning, but soon after they faced the enemy's powerful strength, a county magistrate took the initiative to contact the Yellow Turbans and Kaicheng surrendered. The war situation in Wei County suddenly became corrupted.
Wei County was corrupt, and Dong County was even more crazy. Bai Rao and Hu Gu led their troops to attack the city and the stronghold, and were about to hit Wang Gong, who was the prefect of Dong County at the time.
Wang Gong asked Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, for help, but Liu Dai had no troops to send.
"Sucheng, do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Gong looked at his counselor Sun Feng, his eyes full of worry.
"My lord, the only plan for now is to go north to ask for help from Yuan Shu. Now he has just arrived in Jizhou and has more than 100,000 soldiers in the Sixth Army under his command. As long as he sends out troops, he will be surrounded in vain. Mu Gu and others have nothing to fear."
Sun Feng looked at Wang Hu with helplessness. He was also drunk following such a master.
"No, Yuan Shu is powerful. If he invites troops to come, they may be captured by magpies and doves, and the tail will be too big to fall."
Mentioning Yuan Shu, Wang Hu couldn't help but shook his head.
"There is still one person who can save Dongjun."
Since Wang Gong did not agree with Yuan Shu's arrival, Sun Feng gave him a second choice.
"who?"
Hearing that Sun Feng had a second choice, Wang Gong couldn't help but ask.
"Cao Cao and Cao Mengde are resting in Chenliu."
Hearing Sun Feng mention Cao Cao, Wang Gong couldn't help but be startled. He also knew about Cao Cao.
In the Battle against Dong, Cao Cao was severely defeated by Dong Zhuo and took over Chenliu County for temporary rest and reorganization.
"Cao Cao is a great hero. If he is invited here, will he be like Yuan Shu, whose tail is too big to fall off?"
Cao Cao was not a good person. Wang Gong was really scared. Being a prefect was not easy. If someone took advantage of him easily, then he would not have died unjustly.
"My lord, Cao Cao is just a passer-by. He has no foundation in Dongjun. Even if he wants to overturn the world, he must be able to overturn it."
Although Sun Feng said so, Wang Gong was still worried.
"Lord, don't make things difficult for me. I'm introducing someone. If it doesn't work, then there's really nothing you can do."
Neither Yuan Shu nor Cao Cao Wang Hu were satisfied, but fortunately Sun Feng had a third choice.
