Chapter 819: Mutual Calculations

After three rounds of drinking, our Liu Bei children's shoes were already "not good", and under the kindness of the Kuai family, our Liu Ran stayed in Kuaifu to rest.

His clothes were all wet, and if he squeezed it slightly, he could even squeeze out the water, of course, this was not sweat, this was the wine on the banquet just now.

"Mr. Kuailiang, I'll leave first!"

"Walk slowly, walk slowly!" Kuai Liang celebrated his birthday, he felt at home, and the servants of the Kuai family floated the heads of these scholar families who came to celebrate his birthday one by one into the carriage, and Kuai Liang stood at the door and sent them away one by one with a smile.

After seeing off the last one, Kuai Liang stepped into the hall.

His elder brother Kuai Yue was waiting for him over there a long time ago, and another person also appeared, that is, Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, Cai Desi.

"Brother Desi!" Kuai Liang greeted Cai Mao over there.

Cai Mao came forward directly, and said to Kuai Liang apologetically, "Brother Zirou, I can't come to congratulate Brother Zirou on his birthday today, and I hope Brother Zirou won't be surprised!" "Cai Mao is sorry because he was not able to come to the scene today, according to the relationship between their Kuai family and the Cai family, birthdays must be arrived between them.

"It's okay, it's okay! Brother Desi's heart has been decided, and Liang has decided to be grateful! Kuai Liang is also generous, he also knows that the reason why Cai Mao did not come today, this busyness is one thing, now the business contacts between Jingzhou and Yangzhou, are starting from Nanyang County, by Cai Mao such an intermediary, widely collect intermediary fees, our Cai Mao children's shoes will make a fortune.

Another reason is to avoid suspicion, you must know that the Cai family and the Kuai family originally made Huang Chu over there uneasy, if Cai Mao came again today. Then the surveillance of the Cai family and the Kuai family is even deeper. That's why Cai Mao didn't come. Instead, representatives were sent.

"Then where is Liu Bei now!" Cai Mao asked Kuai Yue on the side, and Kuai Yue was the head of the Kuai family.

"Ran'er, you go and call that Liu Bei!"

"Then Liu Bei is drunk today, he should have fallen asleep!" Kuai Ran replied from the side.

"Hehe, sleep!" Cai Mao, Yue Kuailiang, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled,

"Ran'er, you can call it, if he is drunk, then he is not Liu Bei Liu Xuande!" Kuai Liang waved his hand at his eldest nephew and said. This Kuai Ran is really still very immature now.

"Huh?" Although Kuai Ran didn't understand, he still sent someone to the room where Liu Bei was resting.

Sure enough, as expected by these three people, our Liu Bei children's shoes were quickly packed and came, and even came with a change of clothes just after taking a shower. Why do you need to change your clothes, every time you toast and drink, our Liu Bei children's shoes feed his clothes with the wine in his cup, which is naturally uncomfortable.

Seeing that Cai Mao, Kuailiang and Kuai Yue were all there, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but turn over. They are all his Liu Bei's "nobles", if he wants to annex Jingzhou according to his Liu Bei's ideas. It will take at least a few years of hard work, because although Huang Jie believes in him, he is also guarding against him, not to mention, the power of the Huang family's military department in Jingzhou is not in vain, and those generals of the Huang family are all over the army.

It was his third brother who lurked in and became the chief general of the Huang family's army, but he could only command his 3,000 people, and the rest of the soldiers and horses could only be mobilized if they were shot by the tiger talisman of Huang Ji.

And if you get the support of the three people in front of you, it will be different, the Cai family and the Kuai family now occupy Nanyang County, which can be described as a self-contained system, their strength is not much weaker than the yellow shooting, the yellow shooting has more soldiers and horses, but there are fewer elites, if the two sides go to war, they will not be able to take advantage.

These three families are adding the soldiers and horses in their own hands, as well as the third brother, and Pang Shiyuan, the two internal responses, it is difficult not to get Jingzhou.

Thinking so, Liu Bei bowed towards the three of them, "Liu's Xuande, I've seen three gentlemen!" ”

At this time, it was difficult for the three of them to dodge, the three of them were standing separately, no matter which direction they were heading, there were people in the other line of defense who were really within the range of Liu Bei's bow.

But at this time, the three of them didn't care so much, in the dead of night, they didn't see it, just casually.

"Xuande Gong is very polite!" Cai Mao and the others also returned the salute with smiles.

"I don't know if the three gentlemen are calling to come late at night, but they have something important to discuss?" Liu Bei asked with a smile, taking retreat as advance, deliberately pretending to be confused, and letting these three people speak first, this is a negotiation skill, generally speaking, those who expose their low prices first will inevitably suffer.

"Why did Xuande Gong ask knowingly!" Kuai Liang was not polite at all, and directly pierced Liu Bei's pretense of confusion.

"Yes, Xuande Gong, Ming people don't say dark words, now there are only you and me in this hall, as well as my second brother and Brother Desi, since I have called Xuande Gong and you have already called, Xuande Gong You yourself are here, you must also know what we want to do!" Kuai Yue also spoke.

Liu Bei knew that he couldn't pretend to be confused, and he owed a debt, "The three gentlemen are as good as they can be!" ”

"Xuande Gong, what do you think of our current military master in Jingzhou!" Cai Mao asked Liu Bei over there.

"Master Strategist?" Liu Bei knew that this was going to get to the point: "Handsome and young, dignified!" "This military advisor in Jingzhou is naturally a yellow shot, and Liu Bei's two sentences seem to be a praising of yellow shots.

"Haha!" Cai Mao and the others laughed, these two sentences are indeed praising Huang Jie, handsome, and young.

But if you put it on a person in a high position, it is a derogatory meaning, Cai Mao has said before, the military division, is based on the position of the military division, but the position is answered with a dignified appearance, then it shows that this Liu Bei Liu Xuande did not take the ability of the yellow shot in his position in his eyes at all.

Or to put it simply, then the yellow shot is left with a good skin, but in fact, it is all straw bales inside.

"What about our Jingzhou Musama!" Kuai Liang continued to ask.

"Lord Governor!" Liu Bei, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue all looked at the expressions of the three of them, he was a little strange, and he didn't know if it was his illusion or what, and there seemed to be an expectation and a nervousness on Cai Mao's face. And from the eyes of the two brothers, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang. But it is the slightest five constants. It seems that this Jingzhou Prefecture Shepherd has nothing to do with them. It's terrifyingly indifferent.

"The pastor of Jingzhou Prefecture is still young, but although he is not very old, he has already shown a majestic posture, and he has appointed virtuous ministers in Jingzhou, and his small body has resisted the burden of the entire Jingzhou!" This sentence is really a real boast of "but! Liu Bei's painting style changed, "After all, Lord Zhou Mu is young and can't distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Some people have confused the eyes of the state pastor! ”

This is interesting, how is this loyal minister and traitor divided, who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor.

Liu Bei's seemingly light words were leaving a way out for himself with every sentence.

"That's right!" Cai Mao nodded: "After all, Lord Zhou Mu is young, so he was confused by people, so that Jingzhou was grasped by traitorous ministers, and even appointed high-ranking officials with the enemy who killed his father!" Cai Mao's words were naked from the beginning.

The current state pastor of Jingzhou is the little son Liu Zong, and his father is Liu Biao, and everyone really knows the person who killed Liu Biao, that is our panicked children's shoes.

"The whole Jingzhou is worried, and we are helpless. But the thief is very heavy! Today, Xuande Gong has arrived in Jingzhou. It is the gospel of my Jingzhou, if Xuande Gong is willing to help us, get rid of the traitors, and return to the state pastor, then there will definitely be a seat of Xuande Gong in this Jingzhou! Cai Mao was drawing pies for Liu Bei over there.

Although Liu Bei already had Takemoto in his heart, he knew that Cai Mao and the others invited him to talk about the alliance this time, but Liu Bei did not agree all at once, "If I don't!" ”

"If Xuande Gong is unwilling, then please!" Kuai Liang spoke, he was not interested in Liu Bei.

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I will tell you all these words today? "Liu Bei is a little curious, this two brothers of the Kuai family and Cai Mao really don't look like a person who is in a hurry to ask for allies, but he Liu Bei is really anxious, but Liu Bei is anxious in his heart, but on the surface, our Liu Bei is still very calm.

"Sue sΓΉ military master? Hehe! Cai Mao laughed, "If Xuande Gong is willing, then go ahead!" "Cai Mao doesn't care at all, because first, their Cai family and Kuai family are now in Nanyang County has long been a family of their own, although they also pay taxes to the yellow shot over there, but whether it is military or civilian, the people who shoot Huang over there can't get in at all, and even after Huang shot Liu Biao, many civil officials who are shameless about what Huang Shot did have run to Nanyang County one by one, and now Nanyang County can be said to be full of talents, if it doesn't occupy a lot of land, I'm afraid that the current Huang Shot will rely on the Cai family and the Kuai family to survive.

That's the case, Huang Jie didn't dare to touch the Cai family and the Kuai family, because he knew that it would be bad for anyone to tear his face.

The current strength of Huang Biao is equivalent to the combination of the original Huang family and Liu Biao's heritage, the Liu family and the Huang family are fighting against the Cai family and the Kuai family.

Another is that Liu Bei didn't dare to go to Gaomi, because one of the very important reasons is why do you know the words of Cai Mao and the brothers of the Kuai family? How did you negotiate with these two people? Why are people looking for you?

Liu Bei himself is not clean, Liu Bei believes that if he goes to Gao Mi in front of Huang Jie, the consequence will be that Huang Jian will be furious, but he can't help the Cai family and the Kuai family, and then calm down and think about it, and immediately our Liu Bei children's shoes will be alienated by Huang Jie.

It's more than worth the loss.

Listening to the laughter of Cai Mao and the others over there, Liu Bei was naturally a little annoyed in his heart, originally he planned to use this high-density tone to threaten the three of them to give himself a little more bargaining chips in the next negotiations, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed, which naturally made Liu Bei a little unhappy.

snorted coldly, "Gao Mi, naturally I won't, I will prepare for the teacher and Master Lu Zhi, this etiquette and shame are still understood!" Liu Bei gave himself a step down, and beautified himself, as if the threatening words just now did not come out of his mouth.

Although Cai Mao and the three of them wanted to laugh in their hearts, they still did a good job on the surface, and the three of them all had a stern expression, "We can still trust Xuande Gong's character!" β€œ

"But you don't have to work with the three of you!" Liu Bei began to threaten again, that is, I can not join you, how do you love it.

"Xuande Gong, are you willing to do it?" Kuai Yue finally spoke.

"Willing?" Liu Bei frowned.

"Xuande Gong!" Kuai Yue took two slow steps, "Put the good foundation of Yuzhou, Xuande Gong, you don't want to, you ran to Jingzhou, do you really just want to be the Taishou of Jiangling County?" Kuai Yue asked rhetorically.

You must know that when Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, he still had the capital in Yuzhou, and several counties near Runan were also under his control, although Liu Mang was wreaked havoc, and most of the people were moved out, but there were still some displaced people who went to Yuzhou to use the past, open up wasteland and cultivate, and even Liu Bei was reluctant to go, leaving more than 10,000 soldiers and horses there and Sun Gan were also left by him as a back road for himself.

"What do you mean?" Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, and then said that this Kuai Yue saw his plan? Liu Bei was cautiously guarded. , If that's the case, his Liu Bei's situation will be dangerous, and at that time, it's not about whether he Liu Bei will tell the secret or not, but whether the three old foxes will be high-profile.

Kuai Yue has been observing the changes in the expression on Liu Bei's face, looking at Liu Bei's vigilant eyes, Kuai Yue's heart can't help but sneer, sure enough! This Liu Bei didn't have a good heart when he came to Jingzhou at the beginning.

Kuai Yue is thinking that he is confused.

"Although my Jingzhou is not as huge as the counties of the northern state, there are hundreds of cities and dozens of counties!" Kuai Yue said deliberately, "If, Xuande Gong, if you return to the state with us, then Xuande Gong will take the position of the Huang family, except for Xiangyang, Jiangling and the five counties of Jinnan will all be taught to Xuande Gong!" We rule Jingzhou halfway! Kuai Yue was drawing pies for Liu Bei over there.

Listening to Kuai Yue's words, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, this Kuai Yue is still limited to wanting to replace the Huang family and become the third largest family in Jingzhou, but unfortunately, he Liu Bei wants this family, he also wants this Jinnan sterile and Jiangling, and what he wants more is the entire Jingzhou, plus the entire Yizhou.

However, Liu Bei also knows that pies can not be swallowed in one breath, they must be eaten slowly, and it is the right way to cooperate with this Cai family and the Kuai family first, and wait for the foundation of Huang Jie to be destroyed in the cooperation and seize the foundation of Huang Shot, and then turn around to deal with this Cai family and the Kuai family, if they know each other well, he Liu Bei will naturally give face, if he doesn't know each other, then don't blame him Liu Bei "Mr. Kuai Yue, what do you want to do?" ”

"Hooked!" Kuai Yue's heart also sneered, Liu Bei was using them, how could they not be using Liu Bei, but this qiΔ“ could not come up with the calculations of His Royal Highness the King of Han. (To be continued......)
