Chapter 352: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Now it seems that the Big Four of Dahan have finally made a choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is likely to be three dozen one. And in the current situation, the choice of Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Sun Ce is also irrelevant. However, if they can join forces, they are also a force to be reckoned with.
However, because of the ideals and hatred of the masters who are in charge, if they can unite, Cao De will find a quick knife to wipe his neck.
Although they did not form an alliance between them, Liu Bei was the initiator of this war, so Liu Bei stood on Yuan Shao's side. And the remaining Liu Biao and Sun Ce, if they are also on Yuan Shao's side, then they will be Cao De's great enemies.
As the saying goes, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, Cao De is not difficult to deal with a Yuan Shao, plus a Yuan Shu is okay, if you add a Cao Cao, a Liu Bei, a Liu Biao, and a Sun Ce.
If the princes of the world jointly send troops, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Cao De is already a dead man. Because Cao De already has a lesson from the past, that is Dong Zhuo.
In fact, Cao De's strength was on par with Dong Zhuo back then, and the combined forces of the fifteenth princes just surpassed Dong Zhuo's back then, but now, with only Yuan Shao's family, if he came out of the nest, then Yuan Shao would be able to fight with Cao De.
However, if Cao De gets help from either side, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Biao, or Sun Ce. Then the situation faced by Cao De is not so passive.
Therefore, if Liu Biao and Sun Ce and Yuan Shi are on the same front, it is dispensable for Yuan Shao, as long as they don't help Cao De, and if the two of them are panting with Cao De, then Cao De's life will not be so tense.
Therefore, when Liu Biao received Liu Bei's invitation, he immediately summoned the civil and military, what should we do, is it the icing on the cake or a charcoal in the snow!
However, Liu Biao didn't wait for everyone to reply, so he said leisurely: "Everyone knows that I, Liu Biao, have no ambitions, as long as I guard the three-third of an acre of land in Jingzhou for the Han Dynasty and appease the people of Jingzhou, and when I die, no one will poke my backbone and scold me." ”
As mentioned earlier, Liu Biao's ability to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou was mainly due to the support of the two largest soldiers in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou. They are the Kuai family and the Cai family.
Liu Biao and the Cai family got married, and Liu Biao married the sister of Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family. And Kuai Liang, the head of the Kuai family, and Kuai Yue, the second-in-command of the Kuai family, are Liu Biao's chief staff.
According to common sense, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are actually a pair of very talented brothers. And after Liu Biao got the two brothers, he didn't have any intention of dominating the world, so he buried the two brothers. But this still does not hinder the loyalty of the Kuai family to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao's meeting, plus Liu Biao, is actually only four people, Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.
As soon as the three of them heard Liu Biao's words, they understood what Liu Biao meant. Our lord is going to help each other and keep it alone.
This is indeed the best choice for Liu Biao, but Cai Mao is unwilling, and Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are also unwilling.
In the past few years, the reason why the Cai family and the Kuai family have been loyal to Liu Biao is because Liu Biao acquiesced to the various developments of the two families. If Liu Biao is on the right side in this war, then wouldn't our two families have more room for development.
Therefore, Cai Mao hurriedly persuaded Liu Biao, "Lord, this is a great time." If the lord wins this war, then who dares to underestimate our Jingzhou and who dares to attack our Jingzhou easily. "Cai Mao's meaning is very simple, this is the time for us to show our muscles, and we want the world to see that our Jingzhou is not easy to mess with.
However, Liu Biao still said: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." My Jingzhou is connected to Yizhou, if Cao De is angered, Cao De's cavalry will only need two days and one night to kill Xiangyang City. Cao De's soldiers are all lone wolf divisions, how can we resist it! ”
"The lord's words are wrong," Kuai Liang stood up, "The lord only needs to mobilize heavy troops, Chen is under the city of Xiangyang, and declares to the outside world that it is to protect the safety of Xiangyang, how can he Cao De have a reason to attack my Jingzhou." Moreover, when the balance of war begins to tilt, the lord can easily make a choice. ”
"You, you want me to be the wall grass!" Liu Biao stretched out his trembling fingers!
"Lord, this is called a person who knows the times as a handsome man, how can it be a grass on the wall?" Kuai Liang spoke.
Liu Biao looked at the posture of the three of them, and immediately understood that the three of them all hoped that they would send troops. And if he wants to continue to sit in the position of the lord of Jingzhou, he must also rely on the power of the two families. Therefore, after thinking about it for many days, Liu Biao finally decided to put the grass on the wall.
And Sun Ce, who was developing in the south, also received Liu Bei's invitation. However, Sun Ce's choice was more difficult than Liu Biao's.
Since Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce has taken over his father's business. Since the Sun Family Group has lost Sun Jian's leadership, many people have begun to be optimistic about the Sun Family Group. However, Cao De still attaches great importance to Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the two hairy guys. Therefore, Cao De still takes good care of his cheap nephew.
However, after Sun Ce took over Sun Jian's foundation, he had to make a choice, that is, to recognize Yuan Shu as his sect master.
The meaning of the sect master is very simple, Sun Ce pays tribute to Yuan Shu on time, and Yuan Shu protects Sun Ce from being bullied. In normal times, you Sun Ce loves to do what you do, and when you have any difficulties, you come to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu chooses not to give you support depending on your mood. And when Yuan Shu has a task to Sun Ce, Sun Ce must complete it perfectly. In fact, Sun Ce was equivalent to selling himself to Yuan Shu.
And the two sides involved in this war, one is Cao De, who is kind to him, and the other is his own sect master Yuan Shu.
Sun Ce is very embarrassed, who can he help. Helping Cao De, Yuan Shu was unhappy. If you don't care about yourself, then you won't have lost all your efforts. But if he helped Yuan Shu fight Cao De, wouldn't it make the world laugh at the Sun family's ingratitude.
Sun Ce was in a dilemma when he saw his younger brother Sun Quan coming. And Sun Quan was also unceremoniously and directly picked up the bamboo slip in front of Sun Ce and looked at it quickly. "Is my brother bothered by how to make a choice?"
Sun Ce nodded lightly.
"Big brother is worried, who is it good to help?" Sun Quan raised his little head and asked playfully.
"Oh, does Brother Quan know what I think in my heart?" Sun Ce became interested for a while.
"Hehe, isn't the eldest brother just ......worried" Immediately, Sun Quan explained to Sun Ce in chapters. Sun Ce was dumbfounded.
"Good, good, good. Brother Quan actually has such insight, then the elder brother asked Brother Quan for advice, how should I choose this battle? Sun Ce's curiosity was aroused for a while, and he couldn't help but want to test Sun Quan.
"Brother Quan thinks that the eldest brother only needs to do what he has to do. Whatever he does, Cao De Liu Bei. Let them fight on their own! Sun Quan said loudly.
"Oh, that's a good idea!" After Sun Ce heard Sun Quan's idea, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
At this moment, a crisp clapping sound came from behind the two, and Sun Ce and Sun Quan looked back and saw that it was Zhou Yu!
"Okay, what Gongzi Quan said is very true. However, the lord still needs a letter to send to Yuan Shu. Tell Yuan Shu that our army is preparing for the second expedition to Yuzhang and continue to fulfill General Sun's will! ”
Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's first think tank, and Zhou Yu's strategy Sun Ce has almost no disobedience. Therefore, the choice of the Sun Group is to watch the fire from the other side!
