Clay figurines also have three points of fire.

Gongsun Kang took the nine counties of Jingzhou and took the five counties in one go. Can Liu Biao not be angry?

He summoned his right-hand men: Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Wen Ping and others to discuss countermeasures.

Kuai Liang said: "Gongsun Kang invaded the land of Jingzhou without declaring war, which is a very unrighteous thing. I propose to send a book against him. ”

Liu Biao said happily: "That's the truth, Zirou's writing is very good, so it's up to you to write this book of thieves." ”

Kuai Liang bowed down and said, "Dare not obey your fate."

蒯 (kuǎi) liang, the character is soft, and he is a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun. Return to Liu Biao. Kuai Liang set the political direction for Liu Biao to appease Jing Chu, and he was praised by Liu Biao as "the theory of Yongji". After that, Kuai Liang was promoted to the main book (bù) by Liu Biao.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and the two old foxes both knew that it was Jingzhou who first attacked Lujiang County without declaring a war, which attracted Gongsun Kang's revenge. Only you are allowed to hit others, not others, this is hooliganism!

But don't Liu Biao and Kuai Liang know this? Of course they do. So Kuai Yue and Cai Mao didn't say anything and didn't stop it.

Confucian scholar Song Zhong even took the initiative to say: "Zhongzi is willing to go to Gongsun Kang for the lord to write a book and reprimand him for his unrighteous behavior." ”

Song Zhong (a heartfelt one), the word Zhongzi. Scholar of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

His sycophant shot Liu Biao was so comfortable. Liu Biao pretended to groan: "It's too dangerous." In case Gongsun Kang becomes angry, I am afraid that Zhongzi will worry about his life. ”

Song Zhong said impassionedly: "Where righteousness is, it is not a pity to die." I must go and condemn Gongsun Kang's unkindness and injustice and aggression against my Jingzhou. ”

Liu Biao said happily: "Then it will be troublesome Zhongzi."

But there was a person in the hall who sneered and said: "Everyone has taken off half of your wife's clothes, and you have to strongly condemn him, and you must solemnly declare: Since ancient times, this is my wife, and your behavior of taking off her clothes is unkind and unjust!" ”

Everyone looked at it, and the person who said this was Zhang Yun, Liu Biao's nephew.

Liu Biao was so angry that his face swelled, and he said angrily: "Rebel, what bastard are you talking about? Pull me down and hit him with 20 boards! ”

Zhang Yun saw that Liu Biao was really angry, and he didn't dare to say more. Keep your head down and don't say anything.

Everyone hurriedly dissuaded them, but Liu Biao lost a big face and resolutely refused to forgive.

So Zhang Yun was pulled out of the hall, pulled out his pants, and crackled 20 boards, and Liu Biao felt a little relieved.

Actually, is Zhang Yun stupid? He's certainly not stupid. It's just that as the deputy governor of the navy, he was afraid of going to war and being killed by the Liaodong navy, so he deliberately said something ugly.

Liu Biao also understood his thoughts, so he pushed the boat down the river and deliberately hit him on the board.

In this way, Zhang Yun can recuperate at home for three months without having to fight. This is the bitter meat meter.

Cai Mao, the governor of the navy, took a look: Damn, let Zhang Yun, this kid take the lead. Originally, I wanted to get a way home, but I accidentally fell under the horse, broke my leg, and couldn't fight.

But now that Zhang Yun is doing this, he can't hurt himself anymore. Otherwise, the navy will be leaderless, and Jingzhou will really be over.

A group of big and small foxes, each knowing it, but they didn't say anything, and continued to happily discuss how to condemn Gongsun Kang.

It is said that it is the nine counties of Jingzhou, but in fact, there are only five counties in Jingbei that Liu Biao can control.

In the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Biao is completely unable to intervene. Now that he is in the pocket of Gongsun Kang, it actually does not have much impact on Liu Biao's strength.

Among the five counties in Jingbei, Nanyang County and Jiangxia County, they all listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement. Liu Biao is only in nominal control. Therefore, the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia County were lost, and Liu Biao could also pretend to send envoys to condemn Gongsun Kang. It's because there's no pain in the skin.

In that year, Liu Biao went down to Jingzhou and got the leadership of the nine counties of Jingzhou, which was passed down as a good story by the world.

In fact, Liu Biao is bitter and can't say it.

He relied on the wealthy families in Jingzhou to get the throne, and now, he can only play tricks between the four major families of Kuai, Cai, Huang, and Wang, sow discord, divide and disintegrate, and in fact, he can't command these families at all.

The major families in Jingzhou control more than half of Jingzhou's money and grain, and more than half of the army. So after Liu Biao's death, Jingzhou was immediately in chaos.

The reason why Liu Biao can get the support of these families is because Liu Biao's governance philosophy is in line with the interests of the Jingzhou family, and they will spare no effort to help Liu Biao.

If the major families unite, Liu Biao can step down in minutes!

In fact, there are still many talents in the so-called wealthy families, and it can even be said that most of the Wenchen of the Three Kingdoms came from wealthy families. Think about it: Can a person who can't read big words govern the people?

In Jingzhou: Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are both great talents!

In 190 A.D. (the first year of the first peace), Liu Biao, the marquis of the Northern Army, went to Jingzhou to assassinate the history at the imperial court, but he was hesitant about the situation at that time, so he invited Kuai Yue and his brother Kuai Liang to conspire with Cai Mao in Yicheng.

Liu Biao asked: "At this time, the sect thieves are rampant, the people are not attached, and Yuan Shu is ready to move in Nanyang, and the trouble has been difficult to solve so far. I also want to recruit troops here, but I am afraid that the people will not want to join the army, what countermeasures do you have? ”

Kuai Liang first proposed that as long as the rulers could practice benevolence and righteousness, the people would naturally be happy to join them, and conscription would no longer be a problem.

However, Kuai Yue did not agree with Kuai Liang's statement, and said: "The rulers of the peaceful and prosperous times all value benevolence and righteousness, and the rulers of the troubled times will pay attention to power and strategy." Soldiers are also noble, and the important thing is to be able to get their loyalty and support. Yuan Shu is more than brave but not resourceful and decisive, Su Dai and Bei Yu are all martial artists, so there is no need to worry at all; However, the leaders of the thieves were mostly greedy and cruel, and their subordinates were also worried about them. I have some people with cultivation and ability, as long as I send them to the leader of the thieves to lure them, the leaders of the thieves will definitely lead the crowd. Then you only need to seize the opportunity to kill those who are cruel and unjust, and then pacify the people who have adopted them. In this way, the soldiers and civilians of this state will come to help the old and the weak because of Your Excellency's kindness. At that time, your military and civilians will be attached, and you will occupy Jiangling in the south and hold Xiangyang in the north, so the eight counties of Jingzhou can be pacified as long as they pass the letter. In the future, even if Yuan Shu and others come with troops again, there is nothing they can do! ”

After hearing this, Liu Biao praised Kuai Yue's strategy as if it were a prisoner's strategy, and adopted his strategy.

Subsequently, Kuai Yue lured a total of fifty-five clan leaders (one said fifteen people), and Liu Biao followed Kuai Yue's previous suggestion to kill them all and annex their subordinates.

However, at that time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng of the Jiangxia thief party were still guarding Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to lobby, and Zhang and Chen were persuaded to agree to surrender. Therefore, Liu Biao roughly got the control of Jingzhou, and since then he has been in charge of Xiangyang. And Kuai Yue was also worshiped as the Taishou of Zhangling and the Marquis of Fan Pavilion because of his merits.
