Ginger is still old and spicy!

Kuai Yue didn't talk about Liu Bei himself, but just explained the benefits and harms of this matter to Liu Biao, as the saying goes, profit moves people's hearts, if Liu Bei is in charge of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, even if Liu Bei doesn't want to steal the land of Jingzhou, but will those arrogant soldiers under his command think so? Will they let Liu Bei succumb to Liu Biao again and shrink into the land of Xinye County? Gambling on the land of Jingzhou, do you dare to bet?

Kuai Yue's words stabbed into Liu Biao's heart like a knife, although Kuai and Cai have other ideas, but they will not forcibly seize their position in Jingzhou, but Liu Bei will!

Liu Biao is just a dog who guards the house, how dare he take the position of Jingzhou Mu to gamble on Liu Bei and his subordinates' thoughts!

The more Liu Biao thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, and said: "Different degrees (Kuai Yue's character), then I don't know what good plan you have?" ”

Kuai Yue stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Liu Bei is available, but he can't be used!" ”

Kuai Yue knew that it would be difficult for Yuan Yao to rely on Jingzhou soldiers and horses alone, if the front line was defeated, Liu Biao would definitely use Liu Bei again, plus Liu Bei was not a bad character, and when the Jingzhou War started, he would definitely try his best to participate.

Instead of letting Liu Biao arrange Liu Bei and give Liu Bei more and better conditions at that time, it is better to pull Liu Bei in now, and then keep an eye on him and limit him to his own army, so that he can borrow his military strategy and the bravery of the generals under his command to fight against Yuan Yao, but not give him the opportunity to contact military power!

Only in this way can Liu Bei's threat be minimized!!

When Liu Biao heard this, his heart immediately moved, and he said, "Oh? How shall I use him in your words? ”

Kuai Yue then replied: "Liu Bei's garrison Xinye is adjacent to Xiangyang, why don't Ming Gong take him as a deputy general, and order him to lead his troops and horses to join forces with General Cai, and jointly send troops to attack Yuan Yao, so that you can protect both!" ”

Kuai Yue's words are in line with Liu Biao's meaning, which can not only use the combat power of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, but also prevent them from coming into contact with the military power of the Jingzhou army, so that Liu Bei's power can be borrowed to fight against Yuan Yao's army, and will not increase the strength of Liu Bei's command, so as to maintain a balance in the situation, which can be said to be a number in one fell swoop!

Liu Biao nodded slightly, and said: "The words of the different degrees are quite agreeable to me, so let people go to Xinye to pass the order, and let my brother lead his troops and horses to Xiangyang as soon as possible." Jibo (the word for Yi), this matter was initiated by you, so it is up to you to go to Xinye to give an order! ”

Seeing this, Yi Ji could only bow down and respond: "The minister receives the order, and he will definitely invite Xuande Gong to come to Xiangyang to help in the war!" ”

At this point, Liu Biao's body was also a little tired, he coughed a few times, and said: "Let's go here first for today's discussion, the battle of Hebei is just around the corner, and the elite cavalry will be sent to explore the movements of Yuan Yao's army from time to time, and it is necessary to strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, okay, let's retreat!" ”

Everyone responded: "No, we will receive the order!" ”

……

After Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to help, he returned to the Xinye County garrison again, after the previous battle, Wancheng had also fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, Cao Cao was afraid of Yuan Yao's rise, and he also wanted to use Liu Bei's power to limit Yuan Yao's thoughts, so he did not send troops and horses to Wancheng again, and acquiesced to Liu Bei in the Wancheng area.

Wancheng is the spoils that Liu Bei took back from Cao Cao, Liu Biao is naturally embarrassed to install officials here, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue and others are afraid that Wancheng was once the garrison of Cao's army, and they don't want to meddle here, so as not to cause Cao Cao's misunderstanding, under the acquiescence of all parties, Wancheng has also become Liu Bei's station.

In this way, the four counties from Xinye to Wancheng have all become the land under Liu Bei's rule, and the three counties of Xinye, Yuyang and Jianyang are just small counties.

However, Wancheng is different, Wancheng is the county seat of Nanyang County, Nanyang County is known as the emperor's hometown in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and eleven of the 28 generals of Yuntai under the command of Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu are from Nanyang County, which is a veritable place of Longxing for Liu Xiu!

Nanyang County is the first county in the world, with a population of three or four million at its peak, even more than the population of a state in a remote border state!

Nanyang County has a large population, abundant resources, and is located in the hub of the world, and has always been a battleground for soldiers!

Although after a series of major battles between the princes and Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao and Liu Biao and other princes, Nanyang County has been depressed a lot, but the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse, although Nanyang County, the first county in the world, is tired, but it is also much better than ordinary counties!

Wancheng is the county seat of Nanyang County, at its peak the population of a city was as many as two or three hundred thousand, now although the people in the city have fled a lot, but there are still more than 100,000 people living in the city, and then counting the rest of the three counties, the people under Liu Bei's rule have been close to 400,000!

Wancheng is an important town of Cao Jun, Cao Cao in addition to stationing heavy troops in Wancheng, but also hoarded countless grains, grass and ordnance in the city, Cao Ren came out of the light army, was Liu Bei's general Guan Yu directly attacked Wancheng, Wancheng in the money, grain and ordnance were also intact handed over to Liu Bei's hands, which also gave Liu Bei a lot of capital that can be used to recruit troops and buy horses.

However, under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, although Liu Bei received a lot of supplements, he did not recruit troops and horses to fill his strength, so as not to arouse the jealousy of Liu Biao and Yuan Yao and others. Liu Bei only increased the number of soldiers and horses under his command to 15,000, then stopped the pace of expanding the army, and began to let the generals under his command refine this army, wanting to build all these 15,000 soldiers and horses into an elite division!

In addition to the 15,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei also recruited and trained the township soldiers and civilians in the name of preventing bandits under Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

In addition to not being equipped with the armor and ordnance of the regular army, these township soldiers received similar training to normal sergeants, and these township soldiers can quickly integrate into the regular army under Liu Bei, which is equivalent to saying that as long as Liu Bei opens the armory and issues equipment to these township soldiers, he can get a new army of 20,000 people at any time!

This new army can be quickly integrated into Liu Bei's army, as long as it runs in a little bit of the 15,000 elites under Liu Bei's command, it can be expanded into an army of 35,000 people at any time, and this army is well-trained and has a lot of combat effectiveness!
