Kuai Yue, who rushed to make Guo Jia withdraw from the army, bumped into Zhou Tai's iron plate, and prepared a full rhetoric in vain, and if he couldn't see Guo Jia, he couldn't even figure out the other party's true intentions.

Zhou Tai was not in a hurry, smiled, picked up the military book again and began to read it, taking a sip of tea from time to time.

There are guests present, and Zhou Tai doesn't mind that the other party thinks he is lazy and rude, and last year, the Jingzhou army outside the county from the commander to the military generals of Wenchen did not look at people properly, and now, it is their turn to taste the taste of looking up to people.

Kuai Yue, who was disillusioned in his heart, wanted to persuade Guo Jia, but now he didn't even know where Guo Jia was, but after his anxious mentality gradually turned into loss, he calmed down, and his worried look suddenly appeared suspicious.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he remembered that he had walked out to observe the movement of the soldiers and horses.

The camp enclosed by the fence was vast, and there were quite a lot of tents, but the soldiers in the barracks did not seem to be many, and after a rough calculation, it was at most three thousand to five thousand.

The people led by Zhou Tai seem to be bluffing and suspicious.

However, before the other six-way soldiers and horses did not find out the truth and reality, Kuai Yue did not dare to make a conclusion, what if there were really one or two armies with tens of thousands of horses? The combination of virtual and real, blinding the enemy, can also be unexpected.

If he can't see Guo Jia, Kuai Yue will return in vain, so he plans to go sideways and make a final effort.

Hahahaha, Kuai Yue, who had a dignified face since he entered the tent, suddenly laughed out loud, with a relaxed face.

Zhou Tai was surprised by his laughter, and muttered secretly in his heart: Could it be that he saw through it?

"Laughing at what?" Zhou Tai still raised his gentle face, and he was not messy.

Kuai Yue stopped laughing, glanced at Zhou Taihou and didn't look at him, looked aside and said, "It seems that your father-in-law is still in Chengdu." ”

This is gambling, Kuai Yue has no way, Guo Jia is really in the army of the seven roads, and he doesn't want to see him, which means that Guo Jia is determined to fight Jingzhou, even if he sees Guo Jia, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say that he will retreat, and since Zhou Tai's army is a suspicious soldier, Kuai Yue can only hold a faint hope that the other six roads are also suspicious soldiers, Guo Jia doesn't want to fight Jingzhou at all.

Guo Jia's policies in Yizhou, imperial examinations, tuntian, road construction, school building, recruitment of talented people, etc., this is not something that can be fully implemented and perfected overnight, Guo Jia defeated Jingzhou after attacking Yizhou last year, the soldiers are tired and tired, and the people are determined, what they have to do now is to recuperate, and even in a few years, they will not take the initiative to set off a war.

Although Yuan Shu and Liu Biao started a war in Jingzhou rashly, can Guo Jia really reap the benefits? The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and when the time comes, Beijingzhou will not be taken down, but the backyard will be on fire again.

With this inference, Kuai Yue thinks that Guo Jia's attitude towards Jingzhou is accurate.

In fact, Kuai Yue did not expect badly, Guo Jia did not plan to expand outward in a few years.

But the question is, does Kuai Yue really dare to take risks? If he is half a little short, Liu Biao is afraid that he will lose his home.

"Huh? Since you have guessed it, please go to Chengdu to meet my father-in-law. ”

After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the military book again.

Although such a salty and non-salty reply made Kuai Yue's heart add a little hope, at least Zhou Tai affirmed that Guo Jia was in Chengdu, but Guo Jia couldn't guess whether Jingzhou was fighting or peace.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Tai, who was calm and relaxed, I only thought he was a mighty general, but I didn't expect that the city government was not shallow.

"Dare to ask General Zhou, who is the commander of the Seven Route Army?" Kuai Yue didn't have time to go to Chengdu to lobby Guo Jia, but he and the commander of the unified army were hypocritical and delayed, at least to buy some preparation time for Jingzhou.

Zhou Tai sighed lightly, flipped through the bamboo slips, and continued to read, while saying: "The boss below, Mr. Xenodu, let's tell the truth, my seven-way army is just bluffing, scaring Liu Yuanjun, you don't have to take it to heart, go back to Xiangyang to assist Liu Yuanjun to deal with Yuan Shu." ”

As soon as these words came out, Kuai Yue's heart hung again, and his expression was uncertain.

Did you guess wrong? Guo Jia really wants to fight Jingzhou?

Zhou Tai's confession did not make Kuai Yue take off his guard, but became vigilant, because he didn't believe that the other party was putting on a big show of the formation of the seven-way army, if Zhou Tai was really the boss, would he tell him the truth so easily?

The corner of his eye took Kuai Yue's expression change into his eyes without a trace, and Zhou Tai smiled secretly in his heart: The method of the Catholic Church is really effective, you have to tell the truth with your friends, you can't tell all lies with your enemies, you have to have truth in fiction, truth in falsehood, where is true, where is false, let the other party guess for himself.

Since Zhou Tai said that he was the coach, Kuai Yue could only suppress the doubts in his heart and follow the topic.

"General Zhou, as the commander of the unified army, don't you think that there is anything wrong with your lord ordering you to attack Jingzhou?"

Zhou Tai shifted his gaze to Kuai Yue and asked rhetorically: "Do you want to say that Liu Yuanjun is a relative of the Han family, where benevolence and righteousness lie, and I will be despised by the people of the world if I attack Liu Yuanjun?" ”

Once again, the blood surged up, as if there was an urge to vomit blood, what Kuai Yue wanted to say was said by Zhou Tai first, he barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "Since General Zhou understands the righteousness, why don't you lead the army back?" ”

Zhou Tai's face was embarrassed, and he said: "But when Yuan Taishou sent someone to discuss with my lord, he said that Liu Yuanjun was the arm of the national thief Dong Zhuo, and he cut down Liu Zhijun to cut the wings of the thief for the Han family. ”

"Yuan Shu! Bloody mouth! ”

The angry Kuai Yue blurted out, and the appearance of rushing to the crown in anger frightened Zhou Tai, a general.

Kuai Yue, who noticed the gaffe, bowed to Zhou Tai and calmed down the anger in his heart.

I didn't expect Yuan Shu to distort the facts, it's just nonsense.

Yuan Shu's attack on Liu Biao is contrary to people's hearts and morality, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see, Guo Jia can't see it? Sure, but Guo Jia doesn't care about people's hearts and morality? Kuai Yue is not sure, after all, what Guo Jia did in Yizhou is already on the same level as the wealthy clans of the world.

"General Zhou, you are a hero in the world, you can see the right and wrong better than anyone else, if your lord helps Yuan Shu is equivalent to helping Yuan Shu to abuse, even if you get the land of Jingzhou, you will not get the support of the people of Jingzhou, I implore the general to stop the army and stop the army."

Kuai Yue's heartfelt words made Zhou Tai couldn't help but be moved, he put the military book on the table, stood up and paced with his hands in his hands, his expression hesitant.

When Kuai Yue wanted to persuade him a few more words, Zhou Taiyi raised his hand to signal Kuai Yue to shut up, and said: "The words of the different degrees are also what I am worried about, in fact, I don't agree with sending troops to attack Jingzhou, but my lord thinks that attacking Jingzhou at this moment is a God-given opportunity, and I can't afford to miss it." But this is a small profit in front of me, but it has lost the hearts of the people in the world, and I am helpless. ”

didn't have time to figure out whether Zhou Tai was revealing his true feelings or acting coy at the moment, Kuai Yue saw that Zhou Tai was relieved and had the intention of retreating, so he immediately added another fire.

"Knowing but not speaking, disloyalty, and being a minister is disloyal, he deserves death. General Zhou, if you are loyal to your lord and sincere, then you should advise your lord at this time, since my lord led the pastor of Jingzhou, he has been benevolent and righteous, and the people under his rule have wholeheartedly returned to Jingzhou. If your lord helps Yuan Shu at this time, wouldn't he be acting for the tiger? Not only is he laughing and generous, but he is also spurned by the world. I implore the general to return to Chengdu to meet your lord, explain the pros and cons, and do not use troops in vain. ”

After some impassioned persuasion, Zhou Tai looked at Kuai Yue in a daze, and then closed his eyes to show a struggling look.

Kuai Yue, who did not put down his hands, didn't care whether Zhou Tai could persuade Guo Jia or not, as long as Zhou Tai did not lead the army to attack Jingzhou for the time being, and gave Jingzhou time to ease up and deal with Yuan Shu first, even if Zhou Tai did not persuade Guo Jia when he went back, Jingzhou would not suffer from the enemy at the same time.

But Zhou Tai thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head, Kuai Yue's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "Doesn't the general understand?" At this time, the attack on Jingzhou will do a lot of harm to your lord and not beneficial. ”

Zhou Tai, who knelt down and sat down again, took a sip of the teacup gently, his expression returned to calm, and said: "It's not that I don't know the depth and stakes, but the supply of grain and grass in Yizhou is tight, and my army consumes a lot every time. At this time, the situation is ready to be launched, and you should know that our lord is careful in his calculations, and he will not see the army return in vain and waste food and grass. ”

Thinking that Zhou Tai was going to attack Jingzhou with his own will, Kuai Yue relieved himself after hearing this, and immediately said: "This matter is not difficult, as long as General Zhou can persuade your lord to suspend his army, I will persuade my lord to give 500,000 stone grain and grass to the general, so that the general can have an explanation from your lord." ”

Jingzhou lacks nothing, there is money and food, and it is rich and solid, but at this time, it is at stake, what is lacking is time, and it is possible that the family name and life may not be saved, what is grain and grass?

With Kuai Yue's proposal, Zhou Tai's expression eased, and he finally made up his mind to go back and persuade Guo Jia to withdraw from the army.

Kuai Yue is naturally overjoyed, and repeatedly called Zhou Tai a hero, and even about to call him a brother.

Yuan Shu's army was about to move south, Kuai Yue did not have time to explore the reality of Guo Jia's other armies, and walked out of the tent accompanied by Zhou Tai, intending to return to Xiangyang.

"Brother Xeno, if you are not in the heart of a villain, if your lord is unwilling to give grain and grass, what should you do?"

Kuai Yue can only be a proposal, and has no right to decide, and Zhou Tai is understandable for being suspicious of this.

But Kuai Yue said confidently: "My lord's benevolence and righteousness are far and wide, and this matter will definitely not be obstructed." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhou Tai smiled and said casually: "Yes, Jingzhou is the land of a hundred battles, today it is said that Yuan Shu is not self-sufficient to raise a teacher without Taoism, and I am afraid that there will be people who are blind to the past in the future, if Liu Yuanjun can form an ally with my lord and help each other, not only can he protect the state, Jingzhou can rest easy, maybe he can also work hard for Kuangfu Han." ”

Kuai Yue, who turned over and embarked on the return journey, knew that Zhou Tai's words before parting sounded like a good intention, but they were actually a warning.

If Liu Biao didn't send grain and grass, even if Yuan Shu was defeated today, and there would be another big enemy in Jingzhou in the future, Guo Jia would not just take advantage of the fire to rob.
