How could everyone dare to accept such a great gift from the brothers of the Kuai family? They all hurriedly bent down to return the gift. Pang Ji said: "First Young Master, Second Young Master, please get up quickly! We have all been greatly favored by the Kuai family. Thanks to the Kuai family these years.
Only with your support can we have the glory and wealth we have today! Doing such a small thing is not worth mentioning!"
Everyone was polite to each other again, and then the Kuai brothers resumed their sitting postures. Kuai Liang smiled faintly at everyone and said: "Actually, when you received the secret letter from the Kuai family, none of you would have guessed it.
, why did our Kuai family give up the power we had finally established in Xiangyang, and even gave up the foundation of the Kuai family in Nanjun, but came to Wuling to defend it?"
When Kuai Liang said this, everyone was silent. Obviously, Kuai Liang's words hit their thoughts these days. Pang Ji, Huang Zu and Cao Yin were lurking in various places in Jingzhou under the orders of the Kuai family.
, has established a lot of power. Especially Huang Zu, who ostensibly took refuge under Cai Qiao in Nanjun. In recent years, he has won Cai Qiao's trust. If Huang Zu is given more time, Cai Qiao will definitely be defeated.
If Huang Zu is eliminated, Huang Zu will become the true master of Nanjun!
But there was no way. He received a handwritten letter from Kuai Liang half a month ago, asking him to find a way to deceive as many troops as possible from Cai Qiao and rush to Wuling County. Although he didn't know Kuai Liang's intention, Huang Zu had already
As a die-hard supporter of the Kuai family, he naturally had to obey Kuai Liang's orders, and he could only try his best to implement them. It was also Huang Zu's good luck. Cai Qiao happened to receive a secret letter from Cai Mao sent from Xiangyang.
He asked Cai Qiao to send troops and horses to assist Xiangyang. Huang Zu followed the trend and deceived all the troops and horses in Nanjun, leaving Cai Qiao with only a few hundred defenders to guard the city.
His years of undercover work have yielded some results.
The same was true for Pang Ji. After receiving Kuai Liang's secret message, Pang Ji could only gather all the soldiers and horses in Guiyang County, and also summoned the garrison from various cities and counties from Guiyang to Wuling along the way, and all rushed to Wuling.
It can be said that now south of Wuling, except for Changsha Pang Ji who dared not move under the command of Sun Jian, other cities and counties have no defensive force at all! This is also thanks to Pang Ji's reputation in Jingzhou, otherwise it would really be impossible.
Easy to do.
As for Cao Yin, although his identity as a supporter of the Kuai family has not been exposed so far, with Pang Ji and Huang Zu, he can only hide it for a while. Sooner or later, the Cai family will find out. He betrayed the Kuai family just now
It's just a play.
The three of them looked at Kuai Liang with puzzled faces, while Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other and smiled. Kuai Yue turned to the three of them and said: "Actually, when my brother made this decision, I was also with you all.
I was still puzzled. But later my brother explained the reason to me, and I suddenly realized that it is absolutely worth it for our Kuai family to continue to survive in Jingzhou!"
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect that what Kuai Yue said was so serious and related to the survival of the Kuai family. Kuai Yue continued: "To make it clear, I want to let you know a piece of news. If there is nothing else,
If anything unexpected happens, I think Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, has been killed in Xiangyang City now!"
"What!" Kuai Yue suddenly said such news, and everyone couldn't hold it in any longer. They all jumped up in shock, even Pang Ji, who had always been calm. Huang Zu shouted with astonishment on his face:
"Second Young Master! Are you telling the truth? What, what, how could Wang Rui be killed so well? Who killed him?"
Pang Ji and Cao Yin were also somewhat intelligent. After the initial surprise, they finally regained their previous calmness. Cao Yin lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he seemed a little unsure and said: "Second Young Master.
, could it be the Cai family who did it?"
The person who answered Cao Yin's question was not Kuai Yue, but Kuai Liang. He nodded, but shook his head and said: "We are not sure whether it was the Cai family who made the direct move, but as long as Wang Rui is
If he was killed, the Cai family must be involved! That day, when Cao Mengde sent the corrective edict, even when I got to the Cai family, I was already tempted to get rid of Wang Rui! Some time ago, the tiger from Changsha ran to Xiangyang
He went to borrow food, but Wang Rui didn't want to borrow it. He actually sent the tiger to Fancheng, hoping that he would fight with Luo Yang and Huang Zhong to kill each other! Huh! No matter if it was Luo Yang or that tiger, how could it be?
People who are so easily deceived? Wang Rui will suffer the consequences this time, and the Cai family will never let go of this opportunity!"
The tiger Kuai Liang mentioned was naturally Sun Jian, who was known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. Pang Ji and others had also heard about Luoyang in Fancheng. They could talk about this quietly without saying a word.
He raised an army of ten thousand people and even attracted Huang Zhong, the most powerful general in Jingzhou. They were also secretly wary. Pang Ji and the other three analyzed it secretly and nodded in agreement with Kuai Liang's statement.
Huang Zu became more and more anxious, and hurriedly said: "Eldest Young Master! If Wang Rui is really dead, then we should not give up on Nanjun in Xiangyang! Without Wang Rui to restrain us, it is inevitable that our Kuai family and Cai family will have to fight, and give up
If we take over Xiangyang and Nanjun, wouldn’t it weaken the power of our Kuai family!”
Regarding Huang Zu's question, Kuai Liang shook his head and said: "General Huang's words are actually only half right! If it were a few years ago, even though they had just experienced the rebellion of traitors and soldiers, the general trend of the world was still
It's still stable. We and the Cai family didn't have Wang Rui's restraint before. We must seize every part of our strength in each city and county in Jingzhou and rest assured that we can fight with the Cai family! But now it's different! Dong Zhuo dominates.
Luoyang, but Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu summoned soldiers from all over the world to attack Dong Zhuo! After this battle, the world will definitely be in chaos, and Jingzhou will definitely be involved in the world's disputes! Although Xiangyang is important, it is also important
It will definitely attract the prying eyes of various forces! When we compete with the Cai family for Xiangyang, we will inevitably lose in the fight, but other forces will take advantage of it. Isn’t that unfair? "
Among the people, Pang Ji was the most intelligent. After hearing the first half of Kuai Liang's words, he immediately guessed what Kuai Liang meant, and quickly said: "Eldest Young Master! I understand, the lower official understands! The Eldest Young Master is deliberately destroying the Kuai family.
All their forces were temporarily shrunk to the south of Wuling, leaving important towns like Xiangyang and Nanjun to the Cai family! Although Xiangyang and Nanjun are important, they are also a huge burden. We just watch the Cai family and other forces compete for Xiangyang and Nanjun.
, the fight was bloody, we will send troops again when the time comes, and we will reap the benefits!"
When Pang Ji said this, Huang Zu and Cao Yin understood. They high-fived and applauded, and at the same time they praised Kuai Liang. The flatterers were slapped one after another. Although Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were young, they
They are all people with extraordinary intelligence, how could they be so easily frightened by these flattery? Dang even smiled and said: "Because of this, I specially selected such a small Wuling County as our
The current stronghold! Firstly, it will not attract the attention of other forces. Secondly, even if other forces discover the existence of our Kuai family, they will not leave important towns like Xiangyang and Nanjun unoccupied. For the sake of small
Wu Ling came to touch our hard nail!"
"Young Master is wise!" After everyone shouted in unison, Cao Yin said hesitantly: "Young Master! If that's the case, then why don't we take Changsha in one go? Now Sun Jian has taken Changsha's
Most of the soldiers and horses went north to Chenliu, and only the old and weak soldiers were left in Changsha. It was impossible to withstand our attack! By capturing Changsha, we had pulled out a nail stuck in our back.
Then I can say that I will have peace of mind!”
Cao Yin's desire to move Changsha was not a recent idea. He was stationed in Wuling under the orders of Kuai Liang, and Changsha was right next to Wuling. Especially Sun Jian's strength made Cao Yin very uneasy. But Cao Yin had previously
He doesn't have that many soldiers and horses, and he hasn't received orders from the Kuai family, so he naturally doesn't dare to make any decisions. Now there are more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in Wuling City alone, and there are five more soldiers and horses on the Yuanshui River outside the city.
Qianshui Army, with such strength, it can be said that it is a piece of cake to capture Changsha where the main force is no longer around!
However, as soon as Cao Yin put forward this suggestion, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue seemed to have known that it would be like this. At the same time, they shook their heads and rejected Cao Yin's proposal. Kuai Yue said with a smile: "Although Master Cao's suggestion seems good, but
But it is inconsistent with our current strategy! Don't forget, we have to keep a low profile now! Besides, Sun Jian's tiger is not easy to mess with. This time it is Chen Liu who goes there for the sake of the country. If we seize it at this time.
After entering Sun Jian's lair, I'm afraid this tiger will bite people like crazy! Moreover, as Mr. Cao just said, there are only some old and weak soldiers left in Changsha City, but the main force of Changsha has been holding Sun Jian
With his hands, it is of little significance for us to capture Changsha, and Sun Jian’s strength will not have much impact!"
"Uh!" Although Cao Yin is very clever, he is still far behind first-rate counselors like Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. After analysis by Kuai Yue, Cao Yin discovered so many loopholes in his own suggestion.
Mr. Yin's face turned red with embarrassment. He raised his hands to the Kuai brothers in embarrassment and said, "First Young Master, Second Young Master is wise! I am not as good as a lower official!"
Kuai Liang didn't want to embarrass Cao Yin too much. After learning about Cao Yin's arrangements in Wuling City, Kuai Liang decided that Cao Yin was a neglected talent and would make good use of him in the future! Kuai Liang should do it
Even he laughed and said: "It's okay, Mr. Cao! In the future, our Kuai family will still have to rely on Mr. Cao for help with many things!"
