"That's the reason why I didn't see him. There have been changes in Jingzhou. If Xi Zhicai is really fanning the flames, the situation may be in crisis."
"Then why did you agree to let Xi Zhicai visit in the evening?
Wouldn’t this let the lord know?”
Since Kuai Yue had seen through Xi Zhicai's tricks, why did he agree to meet at night?
"Haha, so, I am going to see the lord now to explain this matter."
Kuai Yue smiled slightly and stood up directly.
"Then I won't delay Brother Yidu."
When he heard that Kuai Yue was going to see Liu Biao, Sun Tong immediately left with fists in his hands.
"Well, let's talk about it another day."
Kuai Yue did not stay with Sun Tong, but left the mansion directly and headed towards the Prefecture Mufu.
"Sir, Kuai Yue would like to see you."
Liu Biao, who was resting, heard that Kuai Yue asked for an audience and directly asked Kuai Yue to come in.
"Lord."
Kuai Yue came in and greeted Liu Biao directly.
"Xidu, why are you here?"
When he saw Kuai Yue, Liu Biao was actually full of doubts.
"My lord, Cao Cao didn't arrive in Xiangyang until his envoy Xi Zhi arrived. He just came directly to my residence to ask for an audience."
Kuai Yue directly told the news that Xi Zhicai came to see him.
Hearing Kuai Yue say that Xi Zhicai had arrived in Xiangyang, his face turned dark. He was the lord of Jingzhou. This Xi Zhicai didn't come to see him first, but went to see Kuai Yue. This was because he didn't take him seriously.
ah.
Seeing Liu Biao's dark face, Kuai Yue's heart sank. Fortunately, he didn't see it, otherwise he really wouldn't know what was going to happen.
"My lord, the reason why Xi Zhicai came to see me first is because he has a terrible heart if he doesn't ask to see my lord."
Now that Kuai Yue saw Liu Biao, he thought of how to solve it, otherwise he would not have exposed himself.
"you say."
Although Kuai Yue said this, Liu Biao's face was still dark.
"My lord, now you are using troops against Jiangxia. Everyone knows the meaning. And Xi Zhicai is doing this now. In fact, he has seen through the current situation in Jingzhou. The purpose is to provoke conflicts between the lord and the nobles, so I have not seen it at all.
He, but there is still a problem, so I came directly to see the lord, that’s what I meant.”
There are some things that Kuai Yue cannot say clearly, but he knows them well.
"You mean that Cao Mengde wants to drive a wedge between me and the noble family."
Liu Biao is not a fool. Kuai Yue has made it so obvious. If he still doesn't understand, he really doesn't deserve to sit in the position of Jingzhou Mu.
"That's what I mean."
Kuai Yue nodded when he heard Liu Biao's words. It's best if you can hear the meaning.
"Then what should we do now?
Why did he send people to Jingzhou now?
Could it be that it’s just to sow discord between us?”
Now that he saw Xi Zhicai's intention, Liu Biao couldn't be so embarrassed anymore, otherwise he would be looked down upon.
"My lord, if he sends people here now, the war in Yangzhou must be unstoppable, so Cao Cao wants to enter Jingzhou. As for the provocation, he is just following the trend."
Kuai Yue directly stated Xi Zhicai's main purpose of coming to Jingzhou.
"Cao Cao entered Jingzhou. Not to mention other things, I will not agree to it just because of his unethical behavior. Not to mention how we should arrange for him after he enters Jingzhou is also a problem."
When Liu Biao heard that Cao Cao wanted to enter Jingzhou, he shook his head. Jingzhou was originally not peaceful, and Yuan Shao was too powerful to drive him away. If Cao Cao came in, Jingzhou would be too lively.
"Lord, if you didn't send troops to Jiangxia to reject Cao Cao, it would be fine, but now Jiangxia and we are on the same level. If we don't agree, I'm afraid that he will directly join forces with Huang Zu and act against us."
Kuai Yue saw through the key point. Cao Cao sent people now because he made up his mind that you dare not let him in, otherwise once he joins forces with Huang Zu, he will become a serious problem in Jingzhou.
"That won't work. Even if he unites with Huang Zu, he can't let Cao Cao in. Otherwise, I'm afraid other nobles will have different thoughts."
Although Kuai Yue had analyzed the pros and cons, Liu Biao still firmly disagreed with Cao Cao's entry into Jingzhou.
You must know that Cao Cao is not someone who can be manipulated as he pleases.
If Cao Cao is allowed to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, not to mention how much his strength will increase, just the fact that the aristocratic families under his command have other ideas is enough to make him drink a pot.
"My lord, this may not be good for us. We might as well agree to Cao Cao and then use his troops to destroy Huang Zu. After he captures Huang Zu, he will send a large army to destroy Cao Cao. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"
Kuai Yue naturally understands Liu Biao's concerns, but not accepting Cao Cao now is really disadvantageous for him. Instead of doing so, he might as well use his strength to let Cao Cao fight Huang Zu first, and then sit back and reap the benefits.
Wouldn't it be a win-win to deal with Huang Zu and keep Cao Cao out?
"That's very good. Yidu is indeed my son's wife, but what if Cao Mengde doesn't agree?
After all, even Xi Zhicai can see this,"
After hearing Kuai Yue's plan, Liu Biao immediately became excited. Indeed, if Kuai Yue's expectations could be achieved, it would be the best of both worlds. But Cao Cao is not stupid, how could he not see his intentions?
"It doesn't matter. If Cao Cao really wants to join forces with Huang Zu, the worst we can do is find Yuan Shu to join forces. I believe he will never see Cao Cao becoming big and will destroy him and Huang Zu in Jiangxia County."
Regarding Liu Biao's questions, Kuai Yue also had a countermeasure. If you really want to cause trouble in Jingzhou, then don't blame us for killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to yourself.
"Is it really good to let Yuan Shu come to Jiangxia?
If he takes advantage of the situation and attacks Jingzhou, how should we resist him?"
When he heard that Kuai Yue actually wanted to recruit Yuan Shu, Liu Biao immediately became stupid. If he recruited Yuan Shu, wouldn't he be inviting a wolf into the house?
"Don't worry, my lord, we are not ready to go to war with Yuan Shu now. Is Yuan Shu ready again?
Jingzhou is not Yangzhou. If Yuan Shu really wants to take advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou, I believe Yuan Shao in the north will not give up. By then he will be dragged into the whirlpool of the Battle of Jingzhou. If problems arise elsewhere at this time, Yuan Shu will be in trouble
Already."
Kuai Yue disagreed with whether Yuan Shu would take advantage of the situation to invade Jingzhou. Yuan Shu's focus is now in the north. Youzhou and Liangzhou have not yet been pacified. If the war starts in Jingzhou, he will be in a three-sided war situation.
It would be a disaster for everyone, so Yuan Shu would definitely not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack.
"Okay, then everything will go according to your plan."
Now that Kuai Yue has made it so clear, if Liu Biao has anything else to say, he should leave it to Kuai Yue.
"I made an appointment with Xi Zhi to meet him in the evening. Let me test his tone first."
Since Liu Biao agreed to his plan, he went to talk to Xi Zhicai like this in the evening.
"Well, I'll leave everything to you."
Now Liu Biao was also in a happy mood, and there was no reason for him to go to see Kuai Yue first just now, because he knew that Kuai Yue was interested in him, and if he doubted the other party, he would be somewhat disappointed.
"promise."
Kuai Yue cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and left Liu Biao's place.
