Chapter 761: The Demon of the Water Mirror Academy
A few days later, Liu Biao got the news from the meteor horse, and knew the bad news that Yiyang had fallen, and Jingzhou had been repeatedly defeated, and the bad news of the loss of troops and generals, he couldn't help but change color on the spot. Most of the civil and military cadres in Jingzhou are also in chaos, you and I are talking a word, and the whole hall is noisy in an instant, just like a market on the street.
"Above the main hall, what kind of body is it to be so noisy!! You are all my Jingzhou talents, a higher position, enjoy supreme honor and disgrace, food is the court Lu, now Jingzhou is in trouble, but you are in chaos, so what is the use of the court to wait!? What is the use of the people waiting!? Suddenly, a very majestic shout rang out.
Suddenly, the noisy hall fell silent. Liu Biao fixed his eyes and couldn't help frowning, only to see that the person who drank Jingzhou's civil and military affairs and made everyone dare not refute it was Cai Mao, who held the military power of Jingzhou.
At this time, Cai Mao saw that everyone had closed their mouths, and her complexion gradually improved, and after snorting coldly, she stepped out and bowed her hands: "Lord!" The little Sun family dared to despise my Jingzhou heroes, and dared to call us frogs at the bottom of the well, which is really arrogant! The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead the elite of Jingzhou to Yiyang, and take the head of the Sun Bo Fu to dedicate it to the lord! But in terms of military spending..."
As soon as Cai Mao's words came out, Liu Biao and Jingzhou Wenwu immediately noticed Cai Mao's thoughts. It is said that after Cai Mao took control of the military power, he began to ask Liu Biao for military expenses for various reasons, so that the savings of the entire Jingzhou treasury have only been reduced by more than half in the past few years! But the huge amount of military money Cai Mao has received over the years is not used for recruiting troops, transforming equipment, researching weapons and other projects as he said, but on buying people's hearts and his daily expenses up and down the entire Cai Mansion!
Liu Biao has heard about this for a long time, but his health has not been good in recent years. Liu Biao is afraid that once he deals with Cai Mao, the whole Jingzhou will be in chaos, if his body can't support it, with his two sons, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep the foundation he spent his whole life on. What's more, Liu Qi is naturally cowardly, although Liu Cong is shrewd, but after all, he is still young, and he doesn't know how to judge in the face of major rights and wrongs, so he actually colluded with Cai's family.
Although Liu Biao was helpless and angry about this, he still had to swallow his anger. After all, even if he had a chance and the Cai family and Cai Mao got the power, the two brothers and sisters with wolf ambitions would not dare to seize his inheritance immediately, and first hold Liu Cong to sit in the position of the lord of Jingzhou, so that Jingzhou still belongs to his Liu family for the time being.
"The Grand Duke! Didn't you just ask for military spending just two months ago in case of future war!? Why do you come to ask for it from the lord now!? Cai Mao's insatiable greed soon aroused the wrath of Kuai Yue, the land of Kuailiang. I saw Kuai Yue coming out from behind, and his fingers Cai Mao glared and shouted.
When Cai Mao heard this, her slightly chubby face suddenly darkened, she measured her body slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Kuai Er, don't forget that many soldiers have died this time. And the Lord's benevolence and righteousness, a few years ago, raised the pension by three times! This costs a lot, and my Jingzhou army has to make the armies of all parts of the world much better whether it is armament or food, and the military expenses I get on weekdays are often not enough, and I have to take it out from home and paste it! But just now I listened to Mr. Kuaier's words, but I have some intention to accuse me of Cai someone who is privately satisfied!! ”
It is said that Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are both resourceful and clever strategists, so the people of Jingzhou respect Kuai Liang as Kuai Yi and Kuai Yue as Kuai Er.
didn't say much about foreign words, but said that Kuai Yue listened to Cai Mao's shameless nonsense, and couldn't help but change his complexion, and scolded angrily: "You~!! ”
It's no wonder Kuai Yue is so indignant, it turns out that Cai Mao doesn't know how many pensions of the soldiers under his command have been swallowed over the years, and the armaments up and down Jingzhou are all built by his Cai family, and his Cai family doesn't know how much oil and water he has pumped! Because of this, the people of Jingzhou said that if the Cai family is willing, it is okay to buy one-third of Jingzhou!
Speaking of which, although Kuai Yue's wisdom is not inferior to that of his brother Kuailiang, because of his strong temperament, he often speaks out, so he not only offends many colleagues, but even Liu Biao does not like him. It can even be said that if it weren't for Kuai Liang to protect him, he would have been expelled from Jingzhou by Liu Biao. Therefore, Kuai Yue has not been allowed to be reused.
"That's it! Brother Yue, you still don't give me a retreat! At this moment, Kuai Liang, who had been silent, as a military advisor in Jingzhou, finally stepped out, but instead of helping his brother to kill Cai Mao, he drank and ordered Kuai Yue to retreat.
Kuai Yue was so angry that he couldn't help but stare at Kuai Liang and looked at Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang still had a solemn look, Kuai Yue finally listened to his brother's words, snorted angrily, and retreated to the seat.
Kuai Liang immediately turned around, and during this period, he didn't even cast a straight eye at Cai Mao, but bluntly said to Liu Biao: "Lord, I have already said that this child of the Sun family should not be underestimated. Now that Yiyang has been seized, the barrier to the east of Jingzhou has been lost. Speaking of the Sun family, the sun family has not yet become a climate, but we are not afraid, we are afraid that he will attract the big tiger behind him! ”
When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, his expression changed darkly, and he said, "What are you talking about, is it that Cao Apu!?" ”
Kuai Liang bowed his head and said, "It's this Cao Aman!" It is said that since he rescued the Son of Heaven and reorganized the dynasty in Luoyang, the Central Plains area was quickly restored, and Cao Apu, in the name of the Han family, secretly gathered many talented people from all over the world. Moreover, Cao Apu is not only good at sorting out military affairs and training troops, but even there is no shortage of handsome people under his command. After all these years of building, Cao Jun has already become an elite department. If it weren't for Cao Cao's current annoyance with the locust plague and the difficulty of withdrawing, I'm afraid he would have led his troops to continue the southern expedition a long time ago! ”
As soon as Kuai Liang's words came out, Cai Mao sneered a few times. Liu Biao couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why is De Jue sneering at this?" ”
"The military advisor is resourceful, how dare the general? It's just that the last general feels that the military advisor is a little alarmist! ”
"Oh? Why does the Metropolitan think so? ”
"I don't know how the military advisor thinks that Cao Cao must march south?"
"The reason is simple. The ghosts and gods of Yanzhou are prosperous, and then there is the rise of Uncle Liu Huang, Yuan Shao and these two are bound to have a fight. If Cao Cao marches south, Yuan Shao will be happy. Even the two of them will have a tacit understanding to take what they need! ”
"Then even if Cao Cao marches south, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will definitely take the land of Jingzhou!"
"That's a mistake! But he didn't see that Yuan Shu had gathered nearly hundreds of thousands of troops in Huainan since his last defeat at the hands of Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu also understood that he could not tolerate any more mistakes, otherwise his foundation would be ruined. And Cao Cao did not have enough strength to swallow the entire land of Huainan. But Jingzhou is different, firstly, our Jingzhou army has not been able to hold out for many years, and it lacks experience in fighting, and secondly..."Speaking of this, Kuai Liang couldn't help but pause and looked at Liu Biao. Liu Biao also understood, sighed and said: "Second, I am also old, and in recent years, I have been riddled with miscellaneous diseases, presumably Cao Cao has also heard of it, and it is reasonable for him to come and take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou!" ”
As soon as Liu Biao's words came out, His Royal Highness did Jingzhou's civil and military affairs unchanged. Cai Mao had a few drops of cold sweat on his face, and said busily: "Fortunately, the military advisor is wise and wakes up with a word, otherwise I would still be in the dark." It turned out to be so, I don't know what kind of plan the military advisor has to solve the current dilemma in Jingzhou! ”
"When the war is over, after all, once the war drags on, when Cao Cao solves the problem of the locust plague and sends troops to attack Jingzhou, Jingzhou will be destroyed!!" As soon as Kuai Liang's words came out, Cai Mao's face changed again.
At this time, Jingzhou Bei drove Wang Cang out suddenly, and said with a cold and arrogant face: "Wait! I would like to ask the military advisor again, once Cao Cao wants me to send troops to Jingzhou, even if as you said, Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to fight Ma and Liu, regardless of their side, but Yuan Shu has hundreds of thousands of troops in Huainan, will he take the opportunity to send troops to recapture the county he was seized by the Cao family!? ”
"Yuan Shu doesn't dare, firstly, he has a bad relationship with Liu Miao in Yangzhou, but secondly, don't forget, it is Zhou Gongjin who is guarding in Runan now! I have received confirmed news from the Water Mirror Academy, and Zhou Gongjin is 'Feiqi'! ”
"What is the Flying Qi?" Wang Cang first heard that it was the Water Mirror Academy, and his expression immediately changed, after all, whatever the Water Mirror Academy came out of, it would be the best in the world!
"I don't know if Wang Beijia can hear about it, there has been a rumor recently, and it has spread throughout Jingzhou in just a while."
"You're talking about that passage from the Water Mirror Academy!?" Wang Cang exclaimed, then glanced at Kuai Liang, and the two immediately said in unison: "Wolong and Phoenix Chick can win the world!" ”
Jingzhou Wenwu, as soon as they heard this, they immediately became alarmed again and exclaimed one after another. It turned out that they had also heard of this rumor, but they all chose to laugh it off, but listening to Kuai Liang and Wang Cang's tone at the moment, it seemed that this rumor still had a certain degree of truth!
There is no other reason, because this rumor is from the Water Mirror Academy!
After Kuai Liang looked around at everyone, he sank slightly, and said: "It is said that this Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are the best of the best, and Mr. Shui Jing even called the two demons of troubled times." And this Feiqi is the name that once stood side by side with Wolong and Fengxiao, and it is unknown why Zhou Yu was later taken away from the name of Feiqi. ”
"In this way, this Zhou Yu is also a demon?" Cai Mao's eyes widened, and she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"No wonder the Sun family was able to take Runan so quickly and establish a foundation! It must be Zhou Yu who is secretly giving advice to him. With him guarding Runan, Yuan Highway did not dare to raise troops lightly. I have no doubts, and I ask the military advisor to come up with a plan. When Wang Cang heard this, his face was solemn, and he bowed his hand respectfully.
Kuai Liang smiled and first looked at Cai Mao with his peripheral eyes, but Cai Mao was silent at this time. Seeing this, Kuai Liang said unhurriedly: "My plan is also simple, I also mentioned it to the lord earlier. That man in Xinye, with his strength, has more than enough to defeat the Sun family's children, and the lord has given him so long to live here, and it is time for him to do something in return! ”
When Liu Biao heard this, his expression changed at first, and he couldn't help but look calm. Kuai Liang seemed to know that Liu Biaodi was worried, and said, "The lord doesn't have to worry too much. can order this person to be the vanguard, and then order Zhang Yun to follow, but whenever there is a war, all urge that person to go, and Zhang Yun will only answer in the back. In addition, the lord can also order the soldiers and horses of the nearby cities and counties to prepare secretly, even if the man is defeated, we can also send troops vigorously to encircle and suppress him! At that time, the Sun family's army must have fought viciously repeatedly, and they were also tired, and they were powerless to resist!! ”
As soon as Kuailiang's plan came out, all the civil and military cadres in the palace praised it and said that it was good. Although Cai Mao did not get military spending, after Kuai Liang's words, he seemed to understand that the situation in Jingzhou was turbulent now, but he also restrained his greed.
So with Liu Biao's allocation, the orders of all roads were accessible everywhere. On the other hand, it was said that Sun Ce was stationed in Yiyang and was accumulating and raising.
