Chapter 623: Sun Quan's Opinions, Liu Biao's Conspiracy
Chapter 623: Sun Quan’s opinion and Liu Biao’s decision
Sun Jian nodded to Sun Quan, indicating that what he said was right.
"Father, we have no territory at all now, which is unqualified for a prince. Without Yuan Shao's support, it would be difficult for us to make further progress.
So instead of falling out with him, we should use his troops to capture Yuzhou first, and when we have our own troops and territory, it's time for us to make a comeback.
The stronger you are, the safer we will be in Nanyang,
If we really wait until the end, at worst, we will give half of Yuzhou to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao uses my mother and me to threaten the entire Yuzhou, you can ignore us and directly send troops to attack Nanyang. This is the way forward."
There was a hint of cruelty in Sun Quan's eyes as he spoke, but Sun Jian was stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect that his son would say that?
He actually wanted to abandon himself and fight a bloody path for Sun Jian.
"Quan'er, you have grown up. I am very happy to be a father. I will never give up on you."
Sun Jian touched his son's head. He was really surprised that he could say these words.
“Father, why should a man worry about not having a wife, let alone having children?
If you really sacrifice me and my mother, the Sun family can take a step forward, so I hope you won't hesitate."
Sun Quan bowed fiercely to Sun Jian, but no one noticed that there was a different look in his eyes when he lowered his head.
"Well, my father knows."
Sun Jian nodded heavily to Sun Quan, and at the same time he was filled with emotion in his heart.
The next day, Sun Jian came directly to Yuan Shao's residence and confessed to him that he was willing to lead troops to attack Yuzhou. After hearing Sun Jian's words, Yuan Shao was very happy and directly recruited Zhang Xun, Chen Lan and Lei Book, plus Yan Xiang, to let them rule.
One hundred thousand soldiers attacked Yuzhou.
After Sun Jian left, Yang Hong went directly to Jiangxia without hesitation. He was going to prepare to rebel against Huang Zu.
Xiangyang
Liu Biao sat at the head of the table, and in the audience were Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao.
"Xidu, I heard that the coalition forces were defeated in the Battle of Lu County and Huang Zu has returned to Jiangxia. What should we do?"
Liu Biao looked at Lai Kuai Yue and at the same time told him the news he had received.
"Lord, first we need to understand why Huang Zu returned to Jiangxia and did not come to Xiangyang."
After hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue couldn't help but frowned. Huang Zu was defeated but did not return to Xiangyang to resume his life. Instead, he returned directly to Jiangxia. There was something wrong with this.
"Is it even necessary to think about it?
It must be that Huang Zu was defeated this time and was afraid of being punished by his lord, so he did not come to Xiangyang and returned to Jiangxia directly."
Cai Hao glanced at Kuai Yue and expressed his opinion directly.
"Well, Degui is right. Huang Zu must be like this. He was afraid that he would be punished, so he returned directly to Jiangxia. So what we should do next is to send people to Jiangxia to appease Huang Zu and let him not have any problems.
I have other thoughts."
Kuai Yue looked at Liu Biao and expressed his thoughts.
"Alien?
Do you still need to send people to appease the defeated general?
what are you thinking?"
Hearing Kuai Yue's words, Cai Mao glared. After losing the battle, he became a grandfather?
They also need to send someone to comfort them.
"Degui, you can't say that. Huang Zu is the governor of Jiangxia and has a high reputation there. Moreover, the Huang family is a wealthy family. Facing such a person, we cannot simply treat him as an ordinary governor. If the lord treats him
If you are too harsh, you may lose the support of the people and the Huang family, which is not worth it."
Kuai Yue shook his head, Cai Mao's idea was a bit one-sided, and the Cai family and the Huang family were both wealthy families in Jingzhou, and they had never dealt with them, so they spoke like this.
"Lord, I don't accept it."
Facing the eloquent Kuai Yue, Cai Hao was so stifled that he couldn't say anything for a while.
"Degui, please be patient. I heard what Yidu said is true. The Huang family is a wealthy family after all. If you rush to accuse someone, I'm afraid it will lead to bad consequences."
Liu Biao smiled at Cai Mao. The Cai family and the Kuai family were his biggest support in being able to secure the position of pastor in Jingzhou. Naturally, he couldn't say anything.
"My lord, the defeated general deserves to be punished, otherwise our Jingzhou army's military discipline will collapse in the long run. Please think again, lord."
Cai Mao stood up and cupped his fists at Liu Biao.
"Xidu, what Degui said is not unreasonable. You see what we should do.
?”
What Cai Mao said is not unreasonable. The basis for establishing an army is military law. If it is really because Huang Zu is a wealthy family, there will be no punishment for defeat, which is also wrong.
"My lord, if you want to maintain military discipline, you don't care at this moment. The key now is to stabilize Huang Zu. It's best to let him come to Xiangyang. Otherwise, if you really anger him and are instigated by someone with malicious intentions, then Jiangxia may be in danger."
A trace of anxiety flashed in Kuai Yue's eyes. Huang Zu is not your die-hard subordinate. He is considered a prince. If he is really pushed too hard, he may be estranged.
"Lord, there will be no problem in Jiangxia. I am willing to send 50,000 troops to Jiangxia and bring Huang Zu to Xiangyang."
Cai Mao, however, was full of disdain and asked directly to lead his troops to conquer Huang Zu.
"Okay, let's do this for now. Just follow what Kuai Yue said, send people to Jiangxia and recruit Huang Zu to come to Xiangyang. He can say whatever he wants. If he really cowers in Jiangxia and doesn't come, then his meaning needs to be questioned. So
Don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Liu Biao stood up, with a ruthless look in his eyes. If Huang Zu's heart was still with him, it would be easy to say anything, but if he had any objections, he would be his enemy, and there would be no negotiation with him.
"promise."
Cai Hao directly clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"Lord."
Kuai Yue was anxious and wanted to talk to Liu Biao.
"Xidu, don't say much, let's just deal with this matter."
After Liu Biao finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall.
"Alien, just take care of yourself,"
Cai Mao smiled at Kuai Yue, turned around and left the hall.
"Zirou, what should we do?"
Kuai Yue glanced at Kuai Liang, a trace of depression flashed in his eyes.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
Kuai Liang shook his head at Kuai Yue, stood up and walked out.
"Why."
Kuai Yue did the same and left the Prefectural Mufu.
"Zirou, why don't you come with me to advise the lord today?"
Back in the mansion, Kuai Yue looked at Kuai Liang with a trace of complaint flashing in his eyes.
"Xidu, I know everything you said is right, but now is not the time to talk about this."
Kuai Liang glanced at Kuai Yue and took a sip of tea slowly.
"Not the right time?
Why?"
Kuai Yue was confused now. Everything he said was right, but the time was wrong?
"Xidu, now Huang Zu has just been defeated in Lu County and lost 50,000 of my lord's elite troops. He is furious now, but you ask my lord to send someone to appease him. Can he be happy in his heart?
Besides, there is Cai Mao beside you, do you think you can achieve what you want?"
Kuai Liang still looks the same, calm and calm.
"What should we do now?"
After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Kuai Yue immediately became enlightened, but transparency was not enough. They had to find ways to smooth out the possible crisis.
"How can I make up for it now?
Once these soldiers and horses appear, Huang Zu will definitely become anxious."
