There are also many talented people under Liu Biao, including Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, etc.
"My lord, Xu You's visit here is probably Yanzhou."
As a great talent who helped Liu Biao set the political direction to appease Jingchu, Kuai Liang was also one of Liu Biao's most trustworthy advisers.
"Zirou, please tell me in detail?"
After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao listened carefully and prepared to listen to his analysis.
"My lord, now the princes in the world are dominated by Yuan Shu's family in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao, as his brother from the same clan, will naturally look dim. Think about how prosperous Yuan Benchu was when he was under the general's sect. What about now?
He huddled in Nanyang County and served as the prefect of a county. Therefore, which of the princes from all over the world least expected Yuan Shu to continue to develop, it was Yuan Shao.
Now that the battle of Yanzhou has been going on for more than half a month, Yuan Shao sent Xu You here to definitely ask us to send troops with him to defeat the arrogant Yuan Shu and save Liu Bei in danger."
Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao, his eyes full of confidence.
"Then what should we do?"
Since Kuai Liang has understood Xu You's intention here, he must have come up with corresponding countermeasures.
"Lord, although we don't have as much resentment against Yuan Shao as he does, Yuan Shu's growth will be harmful to us but not beneficial at all.
If he really defeats Liu Bei in Yanzhou, he will take control of the six states. What's the next step?
Will he march eastward to Sizhou or send his troops south to attack Yuzhou?
No one knows this, but no matter where he attacks, there can only be one result. The front of the army is unrivaled. No matter it is Li Jue, Yuan Shao or us, it will be difficult to resist.
Therefore, like Yuan Shao, we do not hope that Yuan Shu can occupy Yanzhou, this is what we two have in common."
Kuai Liang directly analyzed the current situation in Yanzhou and its impact on major events in the world.
"Then you mean that we have to agree to Yuan Shao and send troops to Yanzhou with him?"
After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao frowned.
Although at the beginning of Yuan Shu's attack on Yanzhou, when Liu Bei's envoy arrived, they had made arrangements to sit back and wait for opportunities, but when they actually sent troops with Yuan Shao, he still had many considerations.
"My lord, sitting back and watching Yuan Shu occupy Yanzhou will do us all harm but no good, but if we cooperate with Yuan Shao to send troops, it will do no harm but all the benefits."
Looking at Liu Biao's frown, Kuai Liang immediately guessed his concern. His lord was good at everything, but he was too cautious, too conservative, and not aggressive enough.
"speak."
After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao's frown relaxed a little. After all, there was no harm at all, so he could accept this.
"My lord, although Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals, he only has a few who can truly be called generals, and among them, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai are the most powerful.
Sun Jian and Sun Wentai are known as the Jiangdong Tigers. Their strength can be seen from their invincibility on the battlefield in Yuzhou, but how can the Tigers be willing to succumb to others?
He seems to be attached to Yuan Shao now, but that is just a last resort, and Yuan Shao is also cautious when using him, and even detained his family members as hostages.
We can name Sun Jian as the coalition general for this dispatch. This will not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the coalition, but also alienate the relationship between Sun Jian and Yuan Shao from the side.
If Sun Jian is defeated, it will mean that we have weakened the tiger's strength and cut off his claws. This will give us an even greater advantage in the Yuzhou battlefield.
It would be great if Sun Jian could defeat Yuan Shu."
Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao, a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
"What's a good idea?
If Sun Jian really defeats Yuan Shu and saves Liu Bei, his strength will definitely skyrocket, and we will have another formidable enemy."
Liu Biao had not yet spoken, but Cai Mao on the side frowned and asked Kuai Liang.
"Degui, you can't just look at many things. Sun Jian defeated Yuan Shu, saved Liu Bei from fire and water, and solved the crisis in Yanzhou. But will he willingly become Yuan Shao's vassal after his strength surges?
I don't think so. The most likely possibility is that he leaves Yuan Shao and goes to Yanzhou to compete with Liu Bei for hegemony. If this is the case, will Yuan Shao be willing to do so?
I'm afraid they will send out troops to fight Sun Jian immediately.
And no matter who wins or loses, we will always be the ones who benefit in the end. Seeing it this way, doesn’t it mean that there is no harm in everything?"
Kuai Liang glanced at Cai Mao and then fixed his gaze on Liu Biao.
"Zifang is indeed alive in Zirou. Once this plan comes out, Sun Jian and Yuan Shao will be in misfortune."
Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Liang, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Yuan Shao took Sun Jian as the vanguard. To be honest, he was really worried. This guy was very powerful and had a grudge against him. He was simply desperate for his life in the war. Now
Well, if this plan really succeeds, it will definitely save you a lot of trouble.
"My lord, you are ridiculous, but you are just following the trend."
When Kuai Liang heard Liu Biao's praise, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Then let's act according to Zirou's plan."
"promise."
Looking at the constant flow of people coming and going in Xiangyang City, Xu You couldn't help but sigh. They said Liu Jingsheng loved the people like a son and paid attention to rest and recuperation. Now it turns out that this is indeed the case.
"Is this Xu You and Xu Ziyuan?"
Xu You stopped at the city gate, but a tall and burly scholar came to him with a group of officers and soldiers.
"Isn't it none other than Xu You? Your Excellency, you are Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu?"
Xu You looked at the person in front of him and began to search rapidly in his mind.
"That's none other than Kuai Yue. My lord heard about Mr. Ziyuan's arrival and specially sent me to wait here."
Kuai Yue looked at Xu You, his eyes full of smiles.
"I feel ashamed to have Brother Yidu come here to greet me."
Xu You quickly paid tribute to Kuai Yue. He was a popular man under Liu Biao and could not be offended.
"Where, my lord is still waiting, please come with me."
Kuai Yue nodded slightly, then took Xu You into the prepared carriage and headed towards the city.
Walking in Xiangyang City, Xu You really felt the prosperity here, which was even worse than Nanyang.
Arriving at the Prefecture Mufu, Xu You and Kuai Yue entered the house hand in hand.
"Xu You pays homage to Mr. Zhou Mu."
After entering the mansion, he saw Liu Biao sitting high up. Xu You also straightened his clothes and greeted him.
"Ziyuan, please forgive me. How is Benchu doing now?"
Liu Biao smiled at Xu You.
"My master is very good, thank you Lord Zhou Mu for your concern."
miss?
I'm worried about why your master doesn't die.
"That's good, let's take a seat."
Although he thought so, Liu Biao still smiled and greeted Xu You to his seat.
"Lord Xie Zhoumu."
Xu You slowly took his seat.
"I wonder why Yuan Benchu asked you to come to Xiangyang?"
Liu Biao didn't have any ink, so he directly asked Xu You.
Seeing Liu Biao being so direct, Xu You was stunned for a moment. This was too direct.
