Yuan Shu smiled slightly. He was not panic at all now. As for what Kuai Yue said about being able to block Yuan Shao's attack, it was impossible. He only had so many soldiers and horses. If Xiangyang still had an army of 100,000, Liu Biao would not send anyone.
coming.
"My lord, I don't need to tell you that peace will benefit both parties and division will harm both parties. If your lord really waits until Yuan Shao conquers Xiangyang and then marches to Jingzhou, he will face the combined forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. This will also be a headache for your lord.
Let’s do this. As long as you are willing to send troops, we can give you Jiangxia County and Changsha County. This is our bottom line.”
Facing the powerful Yuan Shu, Kuai Yue was really scratching his head. Why would he come here if he had an army of 100,000 in Xiangyang?
And Yuan Shu also saw this, so he opened his mouth like a lion. There was no way the situation was stronger than others, and a weak country had no diplomacy, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack.
"Bottom line?
What is the bottom line?
Well, let’s take a step back. After all, Mr. Yidu is also a great talent in Jingzhou. He has to give him face when he comes, so let’s take a look at the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang. What do you think?”
After hearing Kuai Yue's words, Yuan Shu also directly looked at Chen Gong.
"Since the Lord has said so, let's take a step back and let the three counties be the three counties. If Liu Jingsheng doesn't agree to this request, then let's wait. I believe time will tell everything."
The latter nodded slightly when he saw Yuan Shu's eyes.
"Hey, please allow me to think about it before I can give you an answer."
Seeing the monarch and his ministers singing in harmony, Kuai Yue was about to cry beside him. When he came to tell the truth, Liu Biao only agreed to Changsha and Jiangxia counties. Now that the tone has been set on the three counties, he has no ability to interrupt.
"Well, otherwise, I'm thinking of an idea. If you agree, I can just ask for Jiangxia County."
Yuan Shu looked at the helpless Kuai Yue and spoke again.
"I hope your lord can clear up my confusion."
Kuai Yue was stunned when he heard Yuan Shu's words. He couldn't figure out what could make Yuan Shu abandon the two counties.
"Mr. Yidu is a wise man in this world. If you are willing to serve me, it's just two counties. I, Yuan Shu, don't care."
"Kuai Yue is just a bad horse. He is far from the grand schemer under your command. Please don't joke with me."
Kuai Yue was immediately confused, what the hell, he is here to negotiate, why are you still interested in me?
"I'm not joking. I mean what I said. As long as Mr. Xiandu is willing to surrender to me, I can do without Changsha County and Guiyang County. Without these three counties, what really belongs to Liu Jingsheng is only the land of the three counties. In the future, the Han Dynasty
This will definitely put an end to the current dispute. Whether it’s for yourself or the Kuai family, I hope you will consider it carefully and send your husband to rest for me.”
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Chen Gong and Kuai Yue in the room.
"Brother Yidu, my lord is really hungry for talents, and he believes in knowing people and making good use of them. Chen Gong is just an ordinary person. After joining the lord, he can be named Yangzhou Shepherd.
Brother Yidu is a hundred times more talented than me. If you can really serve my lord, you will be able to get the position of state pastor, and the Kuai family can also flourish. I hope you will consider it carefully, please."
After Chen Gong finished speaking, he took Kuai Yue to the side hall to rest. If he could really capture Kuai Yue, then his original plan for Jingzhou might be overturned. By then, he might be able to pacify Jingzhou in one fell swoop.
indefinite.
"Gongtai, do you think Kuai Yue will surrender?"
Yuan Shu looked at Chen Gong who had returned, his eyes sparkling.
"I don't know. If Kuai Yue can clearly see the general trend, I believe he will not refuse. But no one can say this. He can only rely on himself."
Chen Gong shook his head. People's hearts are unpredictable, and he couldn't guess what Kuai Yue would think.
"Of course we'll find out tomorrow, but if he can't figure it out tonight, he probably won't be able to sleep, haha."
"That's for sure, haha."
Kuai Yue was resting in the side hall. What he wanted to think about now was no longer the land of the three counties, but Yuan Shu's words to recruit him.
As Yuan Shu said, the current situation of the Han Dynasty has become more and more obvious. Yuan Shu dominates the world by himself, and the northern states are all in Yuan Shu's hands. Sizhou and Yongzhou are just clowns, and they will be captured by Yuan Shu sooner or later. When the time comes, Yuan Shu
Send troops southward, can Jingzhou really resist?
He wasn't sure, but if he defected to Yuan Shu now, would it really be good for the Kuai family?
he does not know,
After all, the current civil and military personnel under Yuan Shu are basically descendants of poor families. The most famous ones are Xun You and Xun Chen, but they have not promoted any disciples of the Xun family until now.
If he defected, how would the Kuai clan react, and what would the Jingzhou clan think of him? He really didn't know what to do.
Just as Yuan Shu thought, he couldn't sleep tonight. He weighed the pros and cons over and over again and didn't sleep at all.
"Sir, my Lord is here to invite you."
At dawn, Yuan Shu's men came to the side hall where Kuai Yue was resting.
"I see."
Kuai Yue, who had not slept all night, looked a little haggard, but his eyes were bright and clear. It was obvious that he had finally made a decision after thinking about it all night.
"Let's go."
Under the leadership of his servants, Kuai Yue quickly arrived at Yuan Shu's hall.
"oh?
It seems that Xeno has made a decision."
Yuan Shu looked at Kuai Yue who came in. Although his face was haggard, his eyes were full of energy. He might have figured it out.
"Yes, Kuai Yue has already made a decision. Now I just want to ask your lord, what can your lord give me if Kuai Yue surrenders?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Kuai Yue also nodded. Others could see it before he even spoke. This insight alone was not comparable to that of Liu Biao.
"What can I give you? The Kuai family has a great business. It is definitely impossible to stay in Jingzhou. Moreover, I have a candidate for Jingzhou pastoral. How about Qingzhou pastoral?
If you agree, I can issue the order immediately."
When Kuai Yue asked Yuan Shu, he knew that his decision was in favor of him, so he directly expressed his thoughts. The Kuai family has lived in Jingzhou for a long time and has deep roots. If he is promoted to serve in Jingzhou, it will be good for himself and Jingzhou.
many disadvantages,
Now it seems that the only places under his control are Youzhou and Qingzhou. The pastoral care of Youzhou must be given to Xun Chen, so Kuai Yue can only be allowed to go to Qingzhou.
"Qingzhou?"
Kuai Yue fell into deep thought. To be honest, this was pretty much what he thought. The Kuai family was a famous family in Jingzhou. If Yuan Shu really named himself the shepherd of Jingzhou, it would be very detrimental to his rule over Jingzhou, so it would definitely be the case.
When he was transferred to another place, he originally thought it would be Xuzhou, but he didn't expect it would be Qingzhou.
"Well, if you don't want to go to Qingzhou, then hold off. After I take over Sizhou, Yongzhou and Yuzhou, these three places are also available."
Yuan Shu nodded to Kuai Yue, "If you don't want to go to Qingzhou, then you can only wait until you win new territory."
"Of course Kuai Yue has no objection. My lord, please accept Kuai Yue's obeisance."
