The rain finally stopped for several days, and a round of red sun came out from the other side of the mountain, and the warm sunlight shone on the hillsides, villages, treetops, inns, streets and pedestrians outside Xiangyang, full of warmth and joy.

It's a pity that Liu Biao, who is the shepherd of Jingzhou, didn't feel half a point of joy, and his mood was still stuck in that bad rainy day.

There were three letters on the desk in front of him, each of which was addressed to him, but the sender was different, they were Liu Bei, Fu Xun, and his brother-in-law Cai Mao, who was far away in Xinyang.

Because of these three letters, he did not go anywhere during this day, and he locked himself up in the county office and walked back and forth, from east to west, from west to south, from south to north, and from south to north.

He had counted that it would take about eighty steps from east to west, thirty-five steps from west to south, seventy steps from south to north, and thirty-five steps from north to north.

However, his eyebrows are still tightly wrinkled together, just like the green mountains on both sides of the strait in the poet immortal Li Bai's "Looking at Tianmen Mountain", from early morning to now, he has not stretched out a point, and there is even a tendency to get closer and closer.

However, the content of the letter is very important, and it may even affect the entire pattern of Jingzhou, and he has no way to make the three letters public, or take them to the lobby to discuss with Kuai Liang, Liu Xian, and Liu Pan.

Therefore, he can only think quietly in this county office alone, and he can only bear this torment alone.

"Lord Qiyu, Mr. Xenodu asks to see you!" When he was puzzled, a call from a guard came from outside the door, Liu Biao was stunned at first, and then he was happy, and the two eyebrows that had been wrinkled for a day finally gradually relaxed.

If there is still one person in Jingzhou who is worthy of Liu Biao's trust, it is undoubtedly the first strategist under his account, the one outside the door. After all, this Jingxiang celebrity had accompanied him with Cai Mao to conquer the entire Jingzhou, and his surname was Liu.

It's ridiculous that he got into the horns for a while, and he almost forgot that there was such a number one person under his command.

Liu Biao smiled bitterly, patted his head and walked out of the door, and greeted Kuai Yue in person: "The different degree came just in time, Benzhou's head is about to explode, if there is nothing else to do, you will help Benzhou analyze and analyze first!" ”

Kuai Yue smiled slightly, took out two letterheads from his arms and handed them to Liu Biao: "The lord is embarrassed because of Fu Gongyi and Cai Deqi?" ”

Liu Biao raised his eyebrows: "The two of them also wrote to you?" ”

"Exactly! The more I received the letter from the two of them at noon today, and after reading the things they described in the letter, the more I was almost not frightened by the actions of our Uncle Liu Huang, and I still feel uneasy in my heart. ”

Kuai Yue nodded, explained, and continued: "However, the lord also knows that Gong Yi and De Jue have always disliked Xuan Degong, and the more worried he is that the two of them cannot consider the problem from a fair perspective because of their own position, it is inevitable that there will be some untruths in their words.

Therefore, Yue Cai dared to rashly board the door of the lord. This matter is very important and needs to be reported to the lord. The second is that as the person concerned, there must be a letter to this point, and the more I want to know the specific ins and outs of the incident with the lord. ”

Liu Biao shook his head, took out Liu Bei's letterhead from the desk and threw it to Kuai Yue and said: "As Yidu said, the three letters of Xuande, Gongyi and Deqi actually expounded two different and even opposing positions.

Xuande came to the letter to talk about this matter, one for Zhang Fei and Guan Ping to plead guilty, saying that because of Yun Chang, the two of them also had a grudge against Sima Yi under Wang Li's account, and they couldn't wait to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh, so he disobeyed the general's order to privately transfer troops and wanted to avenge Yun Chang's revenge.

Second, he planned to sue Deqi for colluding with Wang Li during his tenure in Xinyang, not only did he have many contacts in private, but he even allowed Wang Li's army to enter Jing from Yuzhou a few days ago, and regarded the territory of Jingzhou as personal property.

And Gong Yi and De Jue mentioned in the letter that Zhang Fei and Guan Ping ambushed Sima Yi and were suspected of planting blame and dragging Jingzhou into the water. As for Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's entry into Jing, De Jue also gave a reasonable explanation.

Wang Li had proposed to him that Zhao Yun and the others had gone to Jingzhou to meet the envoy by the imperial court, and there were no other conspiracies or thoughts, and the army accompanying them was only more than 1,000 people, and they were still under his control. ”

"Then the lord thinks whose description of the three of them is closer to the truth?" Kuai Yue thought for a moment and threw a question to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao slowly walked to the desk, spread out the three letters in turn, and frowned again, as if he had tattooed a Sichuan character on his face.

Judging by only three letters, the state is more inclined to be public. After all, in the letter, he only mentioned that Zhang Fei and Guan Ping's private transfer of troops might be suspected of being framed, but he did not exaggerate Xuande's intentions in a transitional manner.

Compared with Xuande and Deju, the two are more like passing the buck to each other, like two hungry dogs competing for bones. It's a pity that from the perspective of intimacy, one of the two of them is the brother of Benshu, and the other is the brother-in-law of Benshu, and Gongyi has become an outsider, so Benshu has been hesitant and unable to give a clear answer. ”

"The Lord is reasonable, but it is indeed a dilemma!" Kuai Yue laughed loudly, "However, the lord has thought about it for a day, have you ever thought that the dispute between the two of them is actually just from their respective interests?" ”

Seeing that Liu Biao was thoughtful, Kuai Yue paused and then said: "Xuande Gong is a person, and the hero of the world is also. He has experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eighteen Princes against Dong, the Jizhou Struggle, the Huainan Ping Yuan Shu and the Yuzhou Rebellion, and even served as the Xuzhou Pastor for several months.

Wang Deyu said very well back then, once the sea was difficult to water, but Wushan is not a cloud. The lord thought about it, Xuande Gong had already looked at the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, how could he bend down and be the head of two counties with a population of only three or two hundred thousand? ”

Liu Biao's heart tightened: "So you think Xuande has different ambitions, he wants to drag my Jingzhou into the battle, and then fish in troubled waters in the war?" ”

"Xuande Gong does mean this, didn't the lord already know this, otherwise, why would the lord risk his wife's anger to keep Xuande in Jingzhou? Otherwise, why would Xuan Degong be so jealous of De Jue, who is in power? ”

Kuai Yue nodded and continued, "However, Xuande Gong's words must not be believed, and the things in the letter must not be doubted. Although De Jue is the uncle's brother-in-law and loyal to the lord, people have no long-term worries, and he may have already bet on the little son.

Then, once Xuande Gong appears in Jingzhou, his interests will naturally be touched. He wants the whole Jingzhou to have only one voice, a voice that belongs to the future of the little prince, and it will not be tolerated by Xuande Gong, who is beyond the Cai family.

Therefore, he will fight with Xuande Gong, and he may also lure wolves into the house just to sanction Xuande Gong for their development. That's why he said in the letter: Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao greeted the mission by the imperial court, and all the actions of Zhao Yun and others were also under his control! ”

Liu Biao originally wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but he didn't want these two to give him a stick on the head, so he was silent for a moment and asked: "Since these two people are just for their own selfishness, and since these two people have no objection, then according to the meaning of the other, what should Benzhou do?" ”

"Don't ask about the past, take advantage of the military power for the time being!" Kuai Yue laughed, got up and said hello to Liu Biao, "The lord has always been worried about the matter of military power, isn't this a good opportunity?" ”

Liu Biao slammed on the desk, and his expression suddenly soared: "Okay, according to what the other degree said, I will hit fifty boards for each of them." The order went down: Xuande moved out of Caiyang within three days, and Caiyang was taken over by Liu Pan. At the same time, he was dismissed from the post of governor of the Jingzhou Navy and replaced by Zhang Yun! ”
