Kuai Yue said with a smile: "My lord, please don't be careless. I heard that Liu Ye is very shrewd. The fact that he and Liu Xun had enmity before is known to the world. Now that he wants to come to you, he just wants you to win him over."

Just to protect him. But my lord, if you think about it carefully, who is Jiangdong Liu Xun?

Ah, Cai Lang. If we accept Liu Ye, wouldn't it mean that we have enmity with Liu Xun? At that time, Liu Xun's character of a villain who will take revenge will not be able to mobilize all Jiangdong's troops to fight us.

Aren't we picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelons, asking for trouble?"

Liu Biao was shocked when he heard this and said: "If you don't tell me, I really didn't expect this point. If we look at it this way, if Liu Ye and Liu Xun become enemies, will we be able to unite Liu Ye and attack Liu Xun from the north and south?

win?"

Liu Biao asked a sudden question, and Kuai Yue couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, Jiangdong has a hundred thousand armor. Even if we and Liu Ye attack Liu Xun from two sides, the chance of winning is not high. After all, Liu Ye is too weak.

I think it is better not to fight this battle. If we attack Liu Xun rashly, even if we can win, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides."

When Liu Biao heard this, he suddenly realized and asked anxiously: "Is this really the case? Is there any good way to deal with the alienation?"

"This is natural. I have a plan, which will not only keep Xin Ye safe and sound, but also allow the protagonist to get 400,000 people in vain." Kuai Yue said with an unpredictable smile.

"Ah, please tell me what's the plan of the aliens?" Liu Biao suddenly asked with interest.

"Ma Liang didn't bring back news that Liu Ye wants to be the governor of Xinye. We can reply to him by saying that we are very willing to accept him, but Xinye has already been given to Liu Bei and we really can't take it out.

But since you have defected to me, we will not treat you badly. We will give you all the food, grass and baggage, but we hope that he can be our secret agent. If the lord wants to compete in the Central Plains in the future, there will be a springboard for him. This is not the case.

Is it the best of both worlds?" Kuai Yue offered his advice.

"Well, this is good. In this way, we can gain Liu Ye without affecting our relationship with Jiangdong. It is nothing more than paying for some food, grass and baggage. We in Jingzhou are short of everything else, but we are definitely not short of food, grass and baggage." Liu Biaowen

Yan's eyes lit up and he said happily.

Then Liu Biao asked: "Will Liu Ye be happy?"

Kuai Yue smiled slightly and said confidently, "My lord, he will definitely agree. After all, he got so much food, grass and baggage for nothing, and the lord did not take away his rights. This is simply a huge profit. As long as he is not a fool, he will definitely be willing."

But after he collects the food and grass, he must be signed privately to pledge his sincerity to us. Just treat it as an IOU. Although it is not of much use, it is better than nothing."

"Xi Duzhen is a great talent. I also ask my lord to recall Ma Liang quickly and tell him the good news. Let him go to Runan again as an envoy to resolve the matter." Seeing this, Cai Mao took advantage of the heat to strike.

"Okay, I will send him as envoy to Runan again right away." Liu Biao shouted and ordered to the guards outside the door: "Come here, go and bring Ma Liang back to me."

"No." The guard outside the door agreed and immediately went down to do the work.

"To avoid Ma Liang getting suspicious, we'd better say goodbye first." After the guards left, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue said goodbye to Liu Biao.

"Okay." Liu Biao nodded and said.

Immediately, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue left together, and soon after, Ma Liang also returned.

At this moment, Ma Liang was very confused. Not long after he walked out, he was chased back by Liu Biao. Although he was confused, he did not have any suspicion.

"I wonder what my lord has ordered when summoned?" Ma Liang asked in confusion.

"Haha Ji Chang, I thought about it just now and I think you are right. Taking over Liu Ye's power is really beneficial to us without any harm. Therefore, we will summon Ji Chang again and plan to invite Ji Chang again.

I am going to Runan as an envoy to express my goodwill to Liu Ye." Liu Biao said with a slight smile.

At this moment, Ma Liang was really confused and couldn't understand why Liu Biao, who just looked like he didn't trust Liu Ye and clearly didn't need Liu Ye, suddenly changed his mind and chose to accept Liu Ye's invitation.

drop.

But despite all kinds of doubts and incomprehensions, Ma Liang also knew one thing, that is, Liu Ye would become his colleague.

"Promise." Ma Liang, who was overjoyed, promised enthusiastically.

"But I can't let him come to Xinye..." Liu Biao told Ma Liang his decision.

"Um, um..." Ma Liang hesitated. He didn't know whether Liu Ye would agree to defect to his lord in this situation.

Liu Biao said seriously: "Ji Chang doesn't have to worry. You will know the result if you go there again. If he is smart, he will definitely agree."

"No." Ma Liang agreed after hesitating for a while.

"Liu Ye, I hope you won't be a white-eyed wolf." Liu Biao sighed after Ma Liang left.

Ma Liang didn't know how Liu Biao was feeling, but with endless worries, he set off from Xiangyang to Runan again without stopping. It took a few days to set foot in Runan again.

Returning to Runan City again, Ma Liang saw that Runan had not changed much. After all, Liu Ye was not a god. He could suddenly turn Runan into a prosperous metropolis in a short period of time.

However, there are some small changes. The military seems to be more impressive.

When he entered the city gate, he felt the momentum of the soldiers. Ma Liang sighed, Jingchu looked too weak after not having a war for many years. Now I am afraid that even the momentum of the Runan Army cannot be compared.

Soon, Ma Liang arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion without any hindrance, and Liu Ye, who received the news, also went out to greet him first.

"Ji Chang."

"Zi Yang."

The two of them greeted each other outside the door with joyful expressions on their faces. Immediately, Liu Ye enthusiastically invited Ma Liang into the study. After sitting down, Liu Ye asked with a happy face: "Is it going well for you to go to Jingzhou to seek an official position for your brother?"

"Well, this" Ma Liang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

When Liu Ye heard this, his face remained calm but he was overjoyed in his heart. Judging from Ma Liang's expression, Liu Biao probably went in the direction he had imagined.

Although Liu Ye was very happy, he had a worried expression on his face. He pretended to be sincere and clasped his fist at Ma Liang and said, "Ji Chang doesn't have to be like this. To be honest, I won't blame you."

"Zi Yang and I hit it off right away, but forgive me for my incompetence in this matter and not being able to fulfill your wish." Ma Liang quickly returned the courtesy. After a pause, Ma Liang told Liu Ye everything about his return to Jingzhou.

With that said, Ma Liang told Liu Ye the details that Liu Biao had repeated in confusion.

"I see." Liu Ye was thoughtful at first, then covered it up and said with a smile: "Although Liu Jingzhou hesitated and did not agree to give me the position of Xinye Prefect, he still gave me the foundation to settle down and make a living. With these things

I am very satisfied with the food, grass and baggage. I am here to thank Liu Jingzhou for his great kindness, and I will definitely be willing to be Liu Jingzhou's secret son to wait for the right time."

"Zi Yang is a great talent in this world, so he deserves to be treated with such courtesy." Ma Liang said solemnly after hearing this.

"Haha, Ji Changyan is serious." Liu Ye chuckled when he heard this.

The matter ended here, as long as both parties knew what was going on. Next, Liu Ye hosted a banquet at his house, treated Ma Liang warmly, and arranged for Ma Liang to stay for a few days to wash away the fatigue of traveling back and forth for days.

Ma Liang arrived quickly because he was close. But Yuan Shao's envoys arrived very slowly.

After all, Yuan Shao's envoys had to traverse the entire Cao Cao's sphere of influence in order to transport baggage and war horses to Runan. But Cao Cao was different. The time it took for him and Liu Ye to receive the land was not very long.

Soon, a month passed. During this period, Ma Liang returned to Xiangyang, while Runan was relatively peaceful.

The food, grass and baggage promised by Cao Cao also arrived one after another. However, before leaving, Cheng Yu made Liu Ye promise not to attack Xudu. After Liu Ye made the promise in San, he left Runan and returned to the front line of Guandu.

Cheng Yu is not a three-year-old child. Although he has received assurances, they are just empty words to seek psychological comfort.

In the end, I had no choice but to leave Runan and return to the Guandu front line. After all, that was the most important place.

At this time, Liu Ye's mind had already been focused on the upcoming war horses. This was a key task assigned by Liu Xun, and he must complete it satisfactorily.

In the main hall of the prefect's mansion, Liu Ye sat quietly on the desk and handled official duties.

Soon, heavy footsteps sounded in the hall, armors clattered, and a tall figure walked in. Liu Ye looked up and saw a big red face.

This person is none other than Wei Yan.

"Military advisor, all the three thousand horses from Jizhou have been sent by detour. I have checked that they are all good horses. I have also checked the quantity. It seems that the selection and matching is quite reliable." Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

He said, his face slightly excited.

These are three thousand war horses! As long as all three thousand war horses are given to him for training, in time he will be able to train a cavalry for his lord, and he will be able to perform great service for his lord. Wei Yan's era is finally coming

.

The land of Jiangdong has always been short of war horses, and only the lord has about a thousand cavalry with him, which is too few for a big prince.

Now Liu Ye has 3,000 more horses in his hands, which indicates that the scale of Jiangdong's cavalry has been expanded several times!

"Haha! Great! It's finally here." Liu Ye stood up excitedly after hearing this, and the anxiety in his heart was completely relieved.

The road to the Central Plains was blocked by Cao Cao. These war horses were transported through various channels, and naturally they experienced a lot of difficulties. Fortunately, Yuan Shao was powerful, and naturally his face was great. If ordinary people wanted to transport them here, they would basically

It's unlikely.

Now Liu Ye is finally relieved, because war horses are the most important part of the raid. These three thousand war horses are too scarce for Jiangdong Army. This is related to the success or failure of Liu Xun's sneak attack on Xudu.
