Chapter 316: Rat's Eyes
Kuai Liang continued: Liang guessed that Zhang Jie was showing favor to the lord, and he was also telling the lord that he had no idea about Jingzhou! If Zhang Jie wants to take Jingzhou, then Nanyang should be garrisoned by more than 100,000 troops. Instead of a symbolic stationing of a few thousand people.
Listening to Kuailiang's analysis, Liu Biao also felt that Kuailiang's analysis was very correct. But Liu Biao is also wary of Zhang Jie's idea of fighting Jingzhou sooner or later. Do you offend Zhang Jie now, or delay time? It's really hard to do!
Cai Mao said: My lord, if we send troops to take advantage of Zhang Jie's inattention, we can occupy Nanyang. But now Nanyang is not as good as before. Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban, Nanyang has been in constant war. Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, you come and go, Nanyang has been a poor livelihood in recent years. Food is not self-sufficient, what is the point of taking Nanyang now?
Even if we occupy Nanyang, can we hold it once Zhang Jie's army arrives? My strength in Jingzhou is the navy, most of the soldiers under Zhang Jie's account are northerners, and the northerners don't know how to fight water, as long as we strengthen the navy, Zhang Jie can't help Jingzhou. Why bother putting your energy into a dilapidated Nanyang?
And even if you want to take Nanyang, why should Liu Bei ask for your life? Do you want him to occupy Nanyang? How similar is this to Zhang Xiu's occupation of Nanyang at the beginning? As a result, as soon as Cao Cao came, Zhang Xiu surrendered. Cheapened Cao Cao for nothing.
If Liu Bei occupies Nanyang, then he will ask us to support money and food and raise troops for him! He is a foreign general, but he is ambitious. The lord must not be fooled by Liu Bei. offended Zhang Jie, but cheapened Liu Bei. If he really thinks about the lord, why doesn't he recognize you as the lord?
Cai Mao knew that Yi had taken refuge in Liu Bei, and he hated it. Dao: Ji Bo (Yi nationality character), if Liu Bei really wants to take Nanyang for the lord, then invite him to come to Xiangyang to worship the lord and the lord!
If Liu Bei is willing to admit the master, how about the hat and the army to take Nanyang? And let the lord crown him as Nanyang Taishou! If he refuses to confess the Lord, you let him die this heart. Let Xianhe (Jian Yong) tell Liu Bei that the lord is not Tao Qian, and Jingzhou is not Xuzhou! Let him have a little idea!
Cai Mao's words are serious, and Liu Biao certainly understands that Liu Bei also has the idea of fighting Jingzhou. Liu Biao is of course much stronger than Tao Qian. Although he was kind enough to take Liu Bei in, if he wanted him to give Jingzhou to Liu Bei, he wouldn't be so stupid, he still had three sons!
Kuai Liang was also shocked by Cai Mao's actions today, this Cai Mao seems to have gambled that Liu Bei will not recognize Liu Biao as the main father! This is helping Zhang Jie in disguise! It seems that Zhang Jie should have promised Cai Mao some benefits. We'll have to go back and talk to Xeno.
Of course, Liu Biao will not force Liu Bei to admit his master. Gotta lighten the mood.
Liu Biaodao: Xuande wants to take advantage of the emptiness of Nanyang to recover Nanyang, which is understandable. But now that Nanyang is broken, it's useless to take it, and it's really not suitable to send troops! Besides, Sun Ce is also eyeing Jiang Xia, so we must also be on guard!
Deju, immediately recruit another 30,000 sailors and build more warships as a precaution!
Promise!
Okay, let me think about it again. Let's disperse!
Subsequently, everyone dispersed, Yi was very helpless, Cai Mao's words today were too heavy, and he almost pointed out that he was Liu Bei's person. In the future, it is impossible for Liu Biao to treat him like before. Ay! What a mistake! makes Liu Biao suspicious!
Kuai Liang returned home and called his younger brother Kuai Yue. I told Kuai Yue about today's incident in the state governor's mansion.
Xeno, you say, what are we going to do in the future?
Kuai Yue Dao: At present, it seems that Cai Mao should be falling to Zhang Jie, but I don't know to what extent!
Yi Jibo and Liu Bei thought we didn't know. Hum! He took refuge in Liu Bei, but he just thought that Liu Bei was stronger than Liu Biao! Don't we know that?
He never thought that once Liu Bei was allowed to enter Jingzhou, it would be a disaster for Jingzhou. If we weren't worried about this, we might as well let Cao Cao enter Jingzhou!
Now Yuan Shao in the Central Plains only has half of Qingzhou left. and is surrounded by Zhang Jie. Yuan Shao will die in a year or two!
That is to say, in a year or two, Zhang Jie may have hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou, and these soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles, and these hundreds of thousands of horses in Jingzhou will not be able to stop at all.
At that time, it will only ruin Jingzhou. And Liu Bei became the master of Jingzhou, what should we do? Is it to help Liu Bei fight Zhang Jie to the death, or to be Zhang Jie's internal response, and let Liu Bei kill us for collaborating with the enemy?
Kuai Liangdao: So what should we do now?
Kuai Yue said: Brother, we don't have to do anything, just wait, if Zhang Jie wants our Kuai family to help, he will take the initiative to send someone to contact! If you don't come to us, my brother shouldn't take the initiative to find him, so as not to make Liu Biao suspicious.
Brother rest assured, as long as we don't go against Zhang Jiejie, even if Zhang Jie takes Jingzhou, he will ask his brother to govern it.
Cai Mao is a little different from us, he is Liu Biao's relative and has military power in his hands, Liu Biao still has to rely on him. In addition, Cai Mao has always been domineering, so Liu Biao will not be suspicious of him, but let's be careful everywhere!
Kuai Liang nodded!
In the living room of the backyard of Xinye County, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Xu Yuanzhi, Jian Yong, and the four of them sat together.
Jian Yong told the three of them about what happened in Xiangyang.
Liu Bei said: Cai Mao, this is a bet that he will not admit the master! How is it good now?
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: Liang never thought of really going to take Nanyang.
Liu Beidao: Why did the military advisor not want to take Nanyang, why did he let Xianhe go to Xiangyang to invite troops?
Liang just wanted to test the weight of the lord in Liu Biao's heart, and the other was to let Liu Biao support some more soldiers, horses, money and food. Now it seems that Liu Biao is also suspicious of the lord!
What's the use of the lord taking Nanyang? Zhang He only has about 5,000 people in Nanyang, and Liang only needs to use a little trick to take Wancheng and conquer Nanyang!
But we only have more than 5,000 horses, even if we capture Nanyang, how can we hold it? If Zhang Jie sends a large army to besiege the city, with Zhang Jie's temperament, once the city is besieged, it will be blocked by the four gates, and once the city is broken, it will be too late to regret!
Liang once plotted with the lord to take Jingzhou as his home, then take Yizhou as his foundation, and then map the Central Plains!
Ay! People are not as good as heaven, and Liang didn't expect Cao Cao to lose so quickly.
And Cao Cao is now thinking about it with Liang, so he took the initiative to give up the Central Plains. found another way out, and it was really a hero. Afford to put it down.
Cao Cao has now taken Shangyong, Xicheng (now Ankang). It won't be long before he will send troops to Hanzhong Nanzheng, and Zhang Lu doesn't even have a decent general, how can he be Cao Cao's opponent?
With Guo Jia, Xun You's wisdom, Xia Hou's brother's bravery, and Liangguanzhi, Cao Cao will replace Zhang Lu to occupy Hanzhong next year at the latest! Then you don't have to think about it to know that it is to go south to take Yizhou!
If this is the case, Liang's plan for the Lord will be in vain.
Liu Bei was also anxious when he heard Kong Ming's analysis, and said: How is it good now? Are we going to send troops to help Zhang Lu?
