Liu Biao's eyes shone with light again. He was worthy of being the wisest man in Jingzhou. He solved the crisis in just a few words!
"Zirou, if Zhang Xian rebels, it will definitely endanger Nanjun. There are no troops stationed in Jiangling now. Once Zhang Xian crosses the river, what will happen?"
The most uncomfortable thing for Liu Biao right now is that he has no soldiers and generals. The 60,000 troops lost in Yizhou were not all Liu Biao's direct troops. More than half were private soldiers of Cai and Kuai, and the rest were Liu Biao's few.
The wealth saved over the years.
Liu Biao's four years of dormancy and four years of hard work were all in vain.
"It doesn't matter. The Pang family and the Huang family did not participate in the conquest of Yizhou. They can each send 5,000 people to support the prefecture. I asked Kuai Pu of the clan to lead a few thousand people to guard Jiangling to intimidate Zhang Xian.
If my lord follows this plan, Jingzhou will have no worries!"
After listening to Kuai Liang's plan, Liu looked calm on the surface, but in fact, anger was already igniting in his heart.
Originally, Liu Biao's rights over Jingzhou were not as good as those of the four major families. If Kuai Liang's plan was implemented, Liu Biao would have no say in the land of Jingxiang!
Jiangling was given to the Kuai family, Jiangxia was given to the Huang family, and the Pang family and Cai family were allowed to garrison Xinye and Fancheng. The entire Jingzhou, including Xiangyang, was under the jurisdiction of Liu Biao, and would be subject to frequent constraints.
Liu Biao couldn't help but smile miserably. If this was the case, what would it mean if this Jingzhou Mu did not do anything? He had completely become a puppet of the Jingzhou family.
"Zirou..."
Liu Biao wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by Kuai Liang unexpectedly.
"My lord, if you continue to break the law, you will suffer chaos. What I say below is just speculation. If a group of heroes attacks and we are unprepared, everything will be too late..."
At this time, Liu Biao also understood that this time he would definitely disappoint Kuai Liang, so he decided to seek benefits for the four major families.
"What about Degui, Yidu and others? What should they do?"
Since Kuai Liang does not attach great importance to Liu Biao, Liu Biao does not need to fulfill his obligations as a state pastor. If he can, he will leave it all to the aristocratic family and let them figure out their own solution.
Cai Mao, let your family find a way to deal with the safety of Kuai Yue's people!
"My lord, Liu Xian is a smart man. We can ask him to go to Yizhou as an envoy to discuss with Liu Zhang the return of Cai Mao and others."
Kuai Liang had no worries about the safety of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others.
Since Liu Zhang slaughtered Jingzhou soldiers at the expense of leaving only the generals of the family, his intentions are obvious.
Liu Zhang did not want to form a deadly feud with the Jingzhou family, but he also wanted to use Cai Mao and others in exchange for some benefits.
With such a clear purpose, the next matters will be easy to proceed, and both parties only need to bargain as needed.
"Okay, Zirou will take care of the arrangements."
Liu Biao agreed without thinking and left everything to Kuai Liang.
If Liu Zhang wants money, your family will provide it. If Liu Zhang wants food, your family will provide it!
No matter what Liu Zhang wants, your family will be responsible for it.
Liu Biao knew that doing so would definitely make things worse and worse with Kuai Liang, but he had no choice.
Kuai Liang, or rather the Jingzhou family, had forced him to this point.
Three days later, Liu Xian set off from Xiangyang with the huge mission entrusted to him by the Jingzhou family, and headed straight to the junction of Jingyi and Jingzhou by water, where he recovered.
Liu Xian planned to pay a visit to Xun You, the governor of Bajun, and then immediately set off for Chengdu to discuss with Liu Zhang the return of Cai Mao and others.
"I have long admired the name of Prefect Xun, and today I am finally lucky enough to meet him!"
Liu Xian had been famous for a long time, and his attitude was extremely low. Xun You couldn't help but feel a good impression of him.
"Liu Biejia, you're welcome. Yizhou and Jingzhou are now hostile. I wonder why Liu Biejia came from Jingzhou?"
Asking knowingly!
Liu Xian secretly complained in his heart, but he had a heavy responsibility, and he must not offend Xun You at this moment.
"Prefect Xun doesn't know something. My lord is really forced to send troops to Yizhou. Now that the army is defeated and the situation is in danger, he has come to ask Liu Yizhou for peace!"
Xun You's face changed and immediately became gloomy.
"Is Liu Biejia joking? What do you think of my lord? What do you think of the Yizhou army? I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yizhou, how can I allow you to bully me wantonly!"
Liu Xian was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would hit a wall with Xun You before he met Liu Zhang.
"Prefect Xun, calm down! My lord is really forced to do so..."
"Prefect Xun should know that my lord is under the control of Yuan Shao of Jizhou! Fight against the enemy Sun Jian and fight against Yuan Shu, which one is not Yuan Shao's order? Please give Grandmaster Xun the next opportunity to go to Chengdu to meet General Wei in person!"
Liu Xian didn't care about Xun You's difficulties, and even understood them very well.
Xun You had just defeated Cai Hao with a small victory and a large number. He must have been proud in his heart. He would inevitably look at the Jingzhou envoy with disdain.
"Liu Biejia, you guys in Jingzhou are really arrogant and ignorant! You can fight Yizhou if you want, and you can see General Wei whenever you want?"
"To tell you the truth, my lord has sworn an oath in Chengdu and is preparing to personally lead an army of 50,000 to attack Jingzhou, while I, the Grand Administrator, will lead 30,000 elite soldiers from Ba County as the vanguard! All supplies of food and grass are now in place, and the expedition will begin soon!"
"Liu Biejia doesn't need to go to Chengdu if he wants to see my lord. It's completely unnecessary. All he has to do is wait in Yufu. I believe it won't be long before my lord will lead his army!"
"Or no matter how simple Liu Bie is, he can go to Zigui, Yiling, Jiangling or even Xiangyang to wait. Wouldn't it be more convenient?"
Liu Xian suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Xun You pressed forward step by step, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Prefect Xun, calm down! The world is in chaos. Liu Youzhou has just been killed by the traitor Gongsun Zan! Only three members of the Han clan are left: Liu Yizhou, Liu Jingzhou, and Liu Yangzhou!"
"As descendants of the Great Ancestor, the descendants of the Liu family should work together to support the Han Dynasty, how can they kill each other? I know that General Wei is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and I definitely don't want to see the war between my colleagues!"
Xun You's eyes narrowed slightly. Liu Xian had been criticizing Liu Zhang, and it was obvious that he had an expert's advice. However, Xun You had already made up his mind and would never let go easily.
"Hahaha, evil people do evil things but still talk about benevolence and morality, while good people do good things but they have to be punished by God?"
"My lord, entrusted by the late emperor, is always thinking about wiping out the rebels and reviving the Han Dynasty! Since entering Yizhou, has he ever done anything unkind to his fellow clan members? Remember when my lord settled Ba County fairly, right?
Stopping the advance of the front army at Yufu, have you invaded Wu County in Jingzhou?"
"But what about you? Liu Jingzhou has no regard for the great cause of the world. He would rather listen to Yuan Shao's treacherous words than live in peace with my lord in order to revive the Han Dynasty! Liu Biao is called a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but in fact he is a minion of the Yuan family. This
For those who are unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unfilial, Gaozu will definitely be ashamed of them, and he will definitely agree to my lord's crusade against them!"
Liu Xian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This was different from what Kuai Liang told him. Xun You bit him so hard that there was no room for negotiation!
