Kuai Yue stood up, bowed deeply to the pottery merchant, and said loudly: "Looking at the entire southern territory of Han Dynasty, there are wise and generous people who can be allies with our lord, and none other than Mr. Taiping."
When the potter heard this, he couldn't help grinning.
When choosing an ally, you have to choose someone with a good reputation and a good reputation. This old boy like Liu Biao is too vain.
Really drunk.
Guo Jia was blowing a gourd and drinking wine while rolling his eyes quickly from an angle invisible to others.
Wise and magnanimous...?
The pottery merchant asked Kuai Yue with some doubts: "Tao is just the head of a county, and Liu Jingzhou has seven counties in Jingxiang and is about to capture Yuan Shu's Nanyang County again. In terms of strength and power,
More than ten times stronger than Tao... And to be honest, Tao is a vassal of Yuan Jizhou, Hebei, and Liu Jingzhou and Yuan Jizhou can be regarded as an alliance... Isn't it a little bit to form an alliance with me, a vassal of the Yuan family?
Have you wronged Liu Jingzhou?"
Kuai Yue chuckled and shook his head: "Young Master Taiping is too modest. Actually, that's not the case. Although my Liu Jingzhou and your young master are both good friends with Mr. Yuan, he is far away in Jizhou after all. As the saying goes, it is beyond our reach. We can't count on Mr. Yuan not doing anything about our affairs in the south.
Many things have to be resolved by the two families themselves, and among the princes south of the Yangtze River, there is only one famous scholar and hero who can come to my Liu Jingzhou’s discerning eye, Mr. Taiping.”
Speaking of this, Kuai Yue seemed to suddenly become a little happy and said cheerfully: "What Liu Jingzhou values in making allies is not strength, but humanity."
When Guo Jia heard this, his stomach turned upside down...
human nature?
Then your Liu Jingzhou is really blind this time.
The pottery merchant felt very comfortable after hearing this.
Regardless of his ability, Liu Biao still had very good eyesight. He could at least tell who was good and who was bad.
Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou and became stronger and stronger. According to the current development of the situation, it is only a matter of time before Liu Biao becomes the first prince in the south. If we can really form an alliance with him, according to the current situation, in the southern border of the Han Dynasty, the Tao family can only
Only a powerful enemy like Yuan Shu is left.
Although Yuan Shu lost to the pottery merchant for a while, there were many objective factors, or a large part of it was due to Yuan Shu's arrogance and the pottery merchant's surprise.
But not every war is lucky, and the pottery merchants cannot hope that Yuan Shu will not learn to behave.
If we look at it in the long run, Tao Shang's Danyang County, even if Tao Qian's Xuzhou County is included, is still a bit behind Yuan Shu in terms of overall strength.
If Liu Biao could help Tao, it would be a clever move to attack each other and cannibalize Yuan Shu.
Boil the frog in warm water and slowly grind it to death.
"Tao is deeply gratified by Liu Jingzhou's kindness. There are many barbarians in the southern border. Although the area is vast, many places are still barbaric. It is precisely because of the cooperation of gentlemen like me that Liu Jingzhou can protect the border and the people."
Tao is deeply pleased that Jingzhou has such a high level of consciousness and is truly a model for literati!"
Kuai Yue was very pleased to see that the pottery merchant was so wise.
But seeing this representative of Jingzhou's wealthy family, he responded with enthusiasm: "The alliance between gentlemen is like drinking sweet mash. The alliance between gentlemen is like drinking from a fragrant spring. The alliance between gentlemen is as light as water. The alliance between gentlemen is like drinking fine wine! Just like today's Liu
The alliance between Jingzhou and Lord Tao is just like that!"
Chen Deng and Guo Jia were standing aside, their eyelids twitching involuntarily.
This is too disgusting.
Are all Jingzhou people so good at flattering others?
The pottery merchant seemed to have no feeling at all, and just said with emotion: "Mr. Kuai is really an honest man."
Kuai Yue did not show any pride because of the potter's praise, but his face suddenly changed, he waved his sleeves suddenly, and said angrily: "Liu Jingzhou and Prince Taiping are so elegant, but Yuan Shu, because of his noble birth,
You want to bully us. Yesterday, you united with Sun Jian to attack Liu Jingzhou. Today, you gathered tiger and wolf troops to rob Prince Taiping's Jinling City. This is really the behavior of animals, worse than pigs and dogs!... Do refined people and gentlemen of peace have to let this happen?
Is this an unreasonable barbarian who bullies you at will? Such behavior cannot be tolerated by me, the Kuai family in Xiangyang!"
The potter gave a thumbs up and agreed: "That's so right! I won't agree!"
Kuai Yue nodded heavily and said: "Yes, I won't agree! No matter what, I can't let the Yuan bully us good people!"
The potter stepped forward with a smile on his face, took Kuai Yue's hand, pulled him to the picture hanging on the wooden screen in the hall, and said cheerfully: "Mr. Kuai, since we gentlemen have bad odors with each other."
...Since we are like-minded and have formed an alliance, the man named Yuan in Jiangnan is a barbarian that we gentlemen despise. Sooner or later, our two families will represent the gentlemen of the world to deal with him together! In this case,
Then why not take a share of Yuan Shu’s territory now? How about that?"
When Guo Jia and Chen Deng heard this, they both swayed and almost fell to the ground.
A gentleman on the left, a refined scholar on the right... Just a few words, and you are already trying to divide the city?
Returning a gentleman's alliance is like drinking from a fragrant spring?...You two are clearly drinking Yuan Shu's blood, okay?
Kuai Yue looked at the map and seemed to be hesitant: "Yuan Shu's power is extremely strong. Divide his city... With the current power of you and I, I'm afraid we can't destroy him, right?"
"Who said it's now!" The pottery merchant smiled and patted Kuai Yue's shoulder and said, "I mean, if you have a chance in the future, you always have a dream. What if it comes true? Let's divide the spoils in advance.
…”
"Cough, cough, cough!" Kuai Yue couldn't help but cough after hearing the words.
"What Tao means, it's always good to plan ahead! This alliance makes everyone feel at ease."
Kuai Yue chuckled twice, nodded and said: "Young Master Taiping is really a man of justice. He will not deceive me sincerely. He puts everything on the table! To form an alliance with a gentleman like this, we Jingzhou people really have an indescribable feeling in our hearts.
It’s such a joy.”
Guo Jia looked at Kuai Yue's back coldly and thought to himself: You Jingzhou people will have many painful and happy days in the future...suffer it slowly, Sun thief!
When the pottery merchant found the location of Nanyang County, he said to Kuai Yue: "Nanyang County is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou and is one of the seven counties in Jingzhou. It is natural for it to belong to Liu Jingzhou. Similarly, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County
The county is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, so it should belong to Tao. As for Yingchuan County and Runan County in Yuzhou, which are adjacent to my Pei Kingdom in Xuzhou, it would be good if they could be brought under the rule of my father..."
When he said this, the pottery merchant's voice became obviously quieter and quieter.
Because he found that the way Kuai Yue looked at him was obviously different from just now.
At least it's not that friendly anymore.
"Mr. Kuai, do you have any advice?" Tao Shang smiled guiltily and asked Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue looked deeply at the pottery merchant for a while and was silent for a long time. Then he said slowly: "Master Taiping, Yuan Shu has five counties under his jurisdiction...According to your wishes, your Tao family will have four counties, and my family, Liu Jingzhou, will have four counties."
Does this mean a county?"
The potter nodded solemnly: "Isn't this division unfair?"
When Kuai Yue heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Just grab anyone on the street and ask them!
No one would think this is fair, right? Have you ever learned the Nine-Nine Multiplication Song?
How dare a person like you be called Mr. Taiping?
I think you should be called Mr. Taipi.
"Master Tao, I think your division is wrong."
Kuai Yue put away his gentleness and elegance just now, with a frosty face, raised his hand and pointed at the leather picture on the wooden screen, and said seriously: "Nanyang County is my county in Jingzhou. This is understandable and there is no need to dispute it, but Runan County
The land of Yingchuan and Yingchuan should be under the jurisdiction of our lord Liu Jingzhou. Firstly, Liu Jingzhou was born in Shanyang County. He is geographically close and is quite familiar with the folk customs of the two counties. Secondly, Liu Jingzhou is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the governor of Yuzhou.
It is privately owned by Yuan Shu, and there is no imperial edict. With the respect of Liu Jingzhou's royal family, it is logical to lead Yuzhou from afar... and Jiujiang County, as well as Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, are all adjacent to Jiangxia County.
, it would be more convenient if Liu Jingzhou takes charge of it..."
The potter almost pounced and bit Kuai Yue to death!
I was so lucky just now that I left a Nanyang County for Liu Biao, but this Kuai Yue turned out to be more particular than me and directly ate up all Yuan Shu's territory!
According to what he said, it seemed that he didn't intend to leave even a single county for himself.
This is so arrogant! What a bullshit ally!
"Mr. Kuai, I find that the alliance between you Jingzhou people seems to lack a little sincerity?" The pottery merchant looked at Kuai Yue dissatisfied, and his words were full of displeasure.
Kuai Yue's face was calm, but there seemed to be some edge in his words: "Master Taiping's sincerity does not seem to be enough! This is how a famous master who occupies four of the five counties and is famous does things.
?!"
"That's better than you Jingzhou people eating all five counties."
"Hehe, each other..."
The two people's eyes looked at each other closely, and there seemed to be faint sparks of fire in the air.
"Hey, hey, hey! Two gentlemen, two gentlemen!"
Guo Jia hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "What are you two doing? Quality! Pay attention to your quality? Yuan Shu is not dead yet. For the few in his hands, our family has not been able to do anything."
Aren't we all in a stalemate with each other in the neighboring counties? As for that! Weren't you two drinking sweet wine just now? It's okay to offend or not..."
When Tao Shang and Kuai Yue heard this, they both woke up immediately.
Yes, Yuan Shu is still alive!
The so-called division of territory is a matter of course.
Why did I accidentally get a little obsessed?
Kuai Yue and the pottery merchant glanced at each other cautiously, then suddenly clasped their hands and laughed heartily together.
Kuai Yue said with a smile: "Yes, this is nothing! How can a refined scholar and gentleman be deceived by these small profits? Is there anything in this world that is more important than reputation and magnanimity?"
Tao Shang also nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yes, yes! That's right, territory is nothing. How important is the alliance of gentlemen. Allies are as big as mountains. Tao never cares about territory. In my life,
The most important thing is friends...the alliance between gentlemen is like drinking from a sweet spring!"
Kuai Yue nodded repeatedly: "The alliance between gentlemen is like drinking fine wine!"
