Liu Biao asked Yuan Shao for help? Sun Ce's heart moved, and he patted his head vigorously, blaming himself.

No wonder Kuai Yue didn't move at all, it turned out that not only did he pay attention to the situation in the whole Shandong, but Kuai Yue didn't limit his eyes to Xiangyang. He wanted to lead Yuan Shao into Nanyang, so that Nanyang would be attacked in the north and south, and Yuan Shu would inevitably transfer Sun Jian to fight in the north, and the siege of Xiangyang would naturally be solved.

Maybe the real Mingjun in Kuai Yue's heart has always been Yuan Shao, not Liu Biao. During the battle of Yuan Cao Guandu, Liu Biao's subordinates persuaded Liu Biao to respond to Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, which must have been Kuai Yue, if it wasn't for Liu Biao's already established foothold at that time, he had a certain amount of control, ignored them, and didn't have to wait until the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Jingzhou would not be his.

At the moment, Cao Cao didn't have much strength, and Kuai Yue couldn't think of asking him for help, and his only hope could only be Yuan Shao.

Unlike the attention he brought based on a priori conclusions, Kuai Yue had a strong practical need, so he was more attentive and never forgot to consider the war in Jingzhou and the situation in Shandong. And he can still consider the overall situation when laying out, once he has been entangled in specific problems for a long time, he will unconsciously give up the overall thinking and only care about the things in front of him.

Kuaiyue, thank you for teaching me a lesson.

As soon as his thoughts opened, Sun Ce suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he thought about it. "What is your young master doing?"

"The young master of my family is discussing with the families in Xiangyang and asking them to sponsor Liu Envoy Jun to defend the city." Cai He said unhurriedly: "The cavalry sent by the general has robbed the grain transported from Jiangling, and the reserves of Xiangyang City are insufficient, so we have to ask for help from various families." ”

Sun Ce's eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood the purpose of Cai Mao's sending Cai He. He laughed softly: "Your young master's errand is not easy to do, the villagers can't tear their faces." ”

Cai He was noncommittal, but his expression had already acquiesced to Sun Ce's analysis.

"Are you going back?"

"Naturally, I'm going back." Cai He said: "I am the person next to the young master, I don't go back, and no one takes care of his daily life." ”

"Okay, you bring two words to your young master. The first sentence: Nearly 1,000 people of the Cai family, young and old, are in my hands. If I lose, I'll kill them all before I leave, and I won't leave a single one. The second sentence: Yuan Shao, like Liu Biao, is a talker. When he was begging Dong, he was sour for so long, he could only drink and brag, and he hadn't even fought a battle. Moreover, he and Gongsun Zhan turned against each other, and they are now facing off in the Xuzhou area, and they can't spare their hands to save Xiangyang. ”

Cai He blinked. "I'll definitely bring the general's words."

"You can go. Before leaving, you can take a good look at Cai Zhou's defense and tell your young master about it. ”

Cai He has always been very calm, and when he heard Sun Ce's words, his face fluctuated a little. Sun Ce took the initiative to let him see Cai Zhou's defense arrangements, this is to recognize the situation from Cai Mao, don't be half-hearted. Not to mention whether Cai Zhou's defense is impregnable, this self-confidence alone is very human.

"Obey the general's orders."

——

After sending Cai He away, Sun Ce sat and thought for a while, the corners of his mouth provoked a sinister smile, and a plan slowly took shape in his mind. Either you don't do it, or you don't do it, it's the most unhappy if you don't go up or down. Liu Biao can control Jingzhou, and the main supporters are Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, Cai Mao is the strongest Haoqiang in Xiangyang, who has been taken down by him and lost Liu Biao's trust. But Kuaiyue, which controls military power and has greater influence, has not been affected.

abolished Kuai Yue, Liu Biao's left arm and right arm were all cut off, and he became a loner, unable to toss the waves anymore.

Kuai Yue is very smart, but he is not a selfless person, and he doesn't even have any morals to speak of. He was a pragmatist through and through. It is beneficial to support Liu Biao, so he supports Liu Biao and does not hesitate to kill the Zong Shuai he knows. It was advantageous to surrender to Cao Cao, so he did not hesitate to abandon Liu Cong and strongly persuaded Liu Cong to surrender. Liu Biao has known him for many years and should know his temperament. They are taking advantage of each other, and the foundation of trust is not solid.

I don't have any benefits for Kuai Yue, and I don't want to give it if I do, but I can make him feel pain, and I should have dealt with him like I did with the Cai family.

Sun Ce made up his mind and sent someone to invite Cai Ke to inquire about the location of Zhonglu. As soon as he heard Sun Ce say that he wanted to deal with the Kuai family, Cai Ke was in the middle of it, not only said it in great detail, but also took the initiative to arrange a part to take Sun Ce to copy Kuai Yue's house. Sun Ce was overjoyed and immediately called Lin Feng.

"You pick two clever people to find Cheng Pu and Han Dang, pass on my message, and go to Zhonglu to copy the Kuai family!"

Lin Feng answered, turned around and left.

Sun Ce found a pen and paper and wrote a letter for his father Sun Jian. There are only two things in the letter:

First, it is limited to ten days, if Kuai Yue has not left the city within ten days, then prepare to storm Fancheng. We are running out of time, we must take Xiangyang before Yuan Shao arrives, at least take Fancheng, hold Liu Biao, and prevent him from going north to make peace with Yuan Shao.

Second, inform Liu Pi, Gong Du and others that I have nearly 1,000 hectares of good arable land for them, come quickly.

——

Five days later, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who were wandering and harassing near Yicheng and Yeguo, received Sun Ce's order and quickly went north to kill Zhonglu. Zhonglu is fifty miles southwest of Xiangyang City, it is a marquis country, and there is a small city, but the Kuai family is not in the city, but in their own manor. In the face of the wolf-like cavalry, the Kuai family was not prepared at all, and was defeated with one blow, and almost everyone became prisoners.

After receiving the news of success, Sun Ce called Kuai Qi.

After being locked up for a few days, Kuai Qi no longer has the arrogance he had before, he is unkempt and walks shakingly. The Cai family's remaining food is limited, so the captives naturally don't think about such a good thing as three meals a day, Kuai Qi only has one meal a day, and he is so hungry that he is bone-chested.

Sun Ce threw an old bamboo cane in front of Kuai Qi.

Kuai Qi looked at it for a while, and his originally scattered eyes slowly condensed. He pounced, picked up the bamboo cane, and screamed: "Sun Ce, the two armies are fighting, and the disaster will not affect the family, how can you do this?" ”

"You're stupid at reading, and your family won't be in trouble." Sun Ce laughed playfully: "You don't want to think about where you are now, the Cai family has been robbed by me, how can your Kuai family be spared, this is too unfair." Don't talk to me about those useless things, if you want to live, write to your father and uncle, either surrender or fight to the death. No fight, no surrender, what's the matter? I'll give him a day to think about it, if I haven't received a reply by tomorrow or night, I'll kill you first, and then push all the more than 300 people of your Kuai family to the waterfront and behead them. ”

"You...... You're not human! Kuai Qi hissed and roared, and before the words fell, Lin Feng stepped forward with a big ear scraper, which made him turn around twice, and fell to the ground with a thud. Kuai Qi struggled to get up, and was about to scold again, Sun Ce said: "If you refuse to write a letter, I won't force you, just cut off your head and send it to Xiangyang City, maybe it will be more convincing." ”

Lin Feng pulled out the long knife with a "swish" and put it on Kuaiqi's neck. The cold blade touched his skin, and Kuaiqi's anger was extinguished at once, and he felt cold all over his body. He looked at Sun Ce, and seeing that Sun Ce didn't look like he was joking, the remaining bit of courage suddenly flew out of the clouds.

"I ...... I just write. ”
