Chapter seven hundred and eighty second tit for tat
Chapter 782 Tit for tat
"Sir, it's going to get dark soon. Do we still want to go see Kuai Yue?"
Li Dian looked at the gradually darkening sky and asked Xi Zhicai.
"Go, why not go."
Xi Zhicai answered directly to Li Dian.
"Didn't you say that Kuai Yue has seen through your thoughts, so is there any point in going now?"
Facing Xi Zhicai's answer, Li Dian had some doubts.
"It doesn't matter if he sees through it. This step is necessary. If he didn't see me during the day, I must have gone to see Liu Biao. Now I can meet him to test his tone and see what Liu Biao's attitude is and what our future actions will be.
It’s beneficial and harmless.”
"I see."
After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Li Dian had nothing else to say and just listened to his arrangements.
"Let's go and meet the famous Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu."
"promise."
Xi Zhicai and Li Dian walked directly to Kuai Yue's mansion under the darkening sky.
"Xi Zhicai has asked to see Mr. Kuai Yue and hopes to inform you."
He came outside Kuai Yue's mansion again and showed his identity to the servant at the door.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will go and report it right away."
The sooner Kuai had the order, the more Xi Zhi came to inform him directly.
"Sir, Xi Zhicai is asking for an audience outside the house."
Sure enough, Xi Zhicai came as promised. Kuai Yue nodded and directly ordered his servants to invite Xi Zhicai to come in.
"Xi Zhi just met Mr."
Xi Zhicai was welcomed into the house by his servants. When he saw Kuai Yue, he directly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Mr. Zhicai, you are very polite. Please take a seat."
Kuai Yue stood up and clasped his fists at Xi Zhicai, and then the two of them took their seats.
"I wonder why Mr. Zhicai came to Jingzhou?"
Kuai Yue glanced at Xi Zhicai and asked directly the topic.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that we lost the battle of Yangzhou. My lord wanted to go to Jingzhou for temporary training, so he sent me to ask Liu Zhoumu what he wanted."
Xi Zhicai smiled at Kuai Yue and directly stated his main purpose of coming here.
"Cao Mengde wants to enter Jingzhou. Mr. Zhicai should train my lord. There is nothing I can do if he comes to me."
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, a trace of amusement appeared in Kuai Yue's eyes. You really want to go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao. You don't have bad intentions when you come to me.
"Haha, everyone in the world knows that Mr. Yidu is the one Liu Zhoumu relies on the most. I came to see him just to stand in front of him. I hope he can put in a few nice words in front of Liu Zhoumu so that he can accept us.
Everyone knows the ambition of Yuan Shu, the prodigal son of Jizhou, and sooner or later he will have a battle with Jingzhou, and we will definitely do our best to help Liuzhou Mu resist Yuan Shu's attack."
Seeing the look in Kuai Yue's eyes, Xi Zhicai is right. Anyway, you have seen through your plan, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Haha, since Mr. Zhicai said so, I would like to ask, if my lord accepts Cao Mengde, where will he want to rest?"
Kuai Yue didn't say anything more. Both of them knew it well now, and there was no need to make anything up.
"Anywhere is fine, Changsha is fine, Guiyang is fine, Wuling or Lingling is fine as well, as long as we have a place to rest, it will be fine."
Xi Zhicai clasped his fist at Kuai Yue again.
"Aren't Cao Mengde's great talents buried in these places? How about this? Huang Zu in Jiangxia County has rebelled and is being attacked by my lord. If your lord doesn't mind, you can send troops to Jiangxia and follow us to capture Huang Zu in Jiangxia.
At that time, I can tell my lord how about lending Jiangxia to Cao Mengde?"
It's impossible to borrow from other counties. If there are vacancies in Jiangxia and you want to go directly to them, they will kick you out when the time comes.
"Let's forget it in Jiangxia. It is a key area in Jingzhou. If you really lend it to my lord, it will be detrimental to the alliance with the two families. After all, no one wants to have other people's forces around them.
Moreover, Liu Zhoumu’s crusade against Jiangxia was just to show off Zhoumu’s power. If he borrowed the help of outsiders, it would be difficult to achieve his goal of intimidating others, what do you think?”
Xi Zhicai has a very high IQ. As soon as he said these words, he immediately understood what the other party meant, which was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Let yourself go to Jiangxia to fight Huang Zu. After Jiangxia is annihilated, you will send troops to kill us all. This is a very good abacus.
"That might as well be like this. As long as Cao Mengde can help us capture Jiangxia County, then Jiangxia will be ours, and Changsha County can be left to Cao Mengde to recuperate. We also know that peace will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. After all, Yuan Shu is still on top.
We will not go to war with Cao Mengde now, as this will only give Yuan Gongde an advantage."
After hearing Xi Zhicai's answer, Kuai Yue was not angry. Now is not the time to get angry. Isn't it time to negotiate?
"Do we have to capture Jiangxia first?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Kuai Yue, with a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
"We must capture Jiangxia first. This is the prerequisite. Otherwise, if we are at war with Huang Zu, if Cao Mengde sends troops from other places to fight, it will be difficult for us to resist. I hope Mr. Xiang can understand our difficulties,"
A trace of determination flashed in Kuai Yue's eyes. This is the most basic thing. It is impossible to say that you are allowed to enter Jingzhou now. Even if you will fall to Huang Zu, you must be firmly kept out of Jingzhou.
"Brother Yidu, you also said that Huang Zu of Jiangxia is at war with Liuzhou Mu. If we unite with Huang Zu, it may not be a good thing for Jingzhou."
Kuai Yue said so firmly, Xi Zhicai was also a little angry. I am talking to you, but you think I am a fool. If this is the case, don't blame us.
"Haha, if Cao Mengde really wants to do this, we have nothing to say. You also said that Huang Zu is at war with us, but there is still Yuan Gongdao's army in Yangzhou. Presumably he will not sit back and watch Cao Mengde grow stronger.
Sir, please think carefully."
Since you have shown no mercy, don't blame me.
"As the saying goes, peace will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. Since you insist on this, then I can agree to the request of attacking Jiangxia on behalf of my lord. In return, Jingzhou will hand over Changsha to us."
What Kuai Yue said is indeed a trick. You still dare to use Yuan Shu to suppress others. If that hungry wolf comes to Jingzhou, he will definitely eat everyone. Besides, does Yuan Shu dare to come to Jingzhou now?
He didn't believe it.
But he couldn't say these things. After all, it would be detrimental to him to anger Liu Biao now. Even if he wanted to unite with Huang Zu, he would have to give Liu Biao a false impression and create enough opportunities.
"Okay, if we can capture Jiangxia by then, Changsha County will do it with both hands."
Kuai Yue nodded to Xi Zhicai.
"Okay, then I will go see Mr. Zhou Mu tomorrow. I hope you will do your best to facilitate this matter."
The tone of his voice had already been detected, so Xi Zhicai didn't need to talk to him anymore and just stood up and clasped his fists.
"Don't worry, Kuai Yue will definitely do his best to facilitate this matter. After all, this matter is beneficial to both parties, right?"
Kuai Yue also stood up and clasped his fists towards Xi Zhicai.
"In this way, Xi Zhicai took his leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai turned around and left.
"Sir, how's it going?"
When he saw Xi Zhicai coming out, Li Dian immediately responded.
"Not so good. It seems that Jingzhou is not easy to enter."
Xi Zhicai frowned, looking melancholy.
"so what should I do now?
Shall we return to Yuzhang now?"
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Li Dian also frowned.
"I can't go back now. I have to see Liu Biao tomorrow."
Xi Zhicai shook his head, he couldn't go back to Yuzhang now, he still had something to do.
,
"Meet Liu Biao?"
Li Dian was stunned. Since it was difficult to enter Jingzhou, he could just go back to Yuzhang and then join forces with Huang Zu. Why did he need to meet Liu Biao?
"Don't worry about this, I'll think about it myself."
Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, he just walked ahead minding his own business, while Li Dian didn't say anything when he saw Xi Zhicai like this, he just followed slowly behind.
After Xi Zhicai left, Kuai Yue did not stay and came to Liu Biao's place again.
