Kuai Yue, the word is different, Xiangyang Zhonglu people, the early Western Han Dynasty famous ministers Kuai Tong descendants. Born in the Jingzhou clan. and Jingzhou's Cai, Huang and other families have generations of in-laws. When he was young, Kuaiyue was known among the village party for his resourcefulness. Long and very burly and handsome. He Jin, the general at that time, heard about his name and recruited him to be Dong Cao Peng. After Kuai Yue arrived, he found out through a conversation with the general He Jin that he was not a person who could achieve great things, so he asked to go out of Beijing to be the commander of Ruyang County. Later, Liu Biao served as the assassin of Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue returned to Jingzhou to submit to Liu Biao and became Liu Biao's most relied on adviser.

Kuai Yue did not disappoint Liu Biao, he relied on his family's huge influence in Jingzhou to unite with his elder brother Kuai Liang, his younger brother Kuai Qi and Cai's Cai Mao brothers, and jointly set a strategy for Liu Biao to appease Jing Chu. At that time, the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng supported the crowd to defend Xiangyang, which seriously hindered Liu Biao's expansion of power, and Kuai Yue rode to Xiangyang alone regardless of the danger and said that he surrendered them. Since then, Jingzhou Dading, Liu Biao has been able to settle the land of Jingxiang inside, reject Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and other Central Plains heroes outside, command a strong army of more than 100,000, drink the Yangtze River, and point to the Central Plains, becoming a very powerful local separatist force in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Biao therefore praised Kuai Yue as "the Zhang Liang of the world".

Therefore, Kuai Yue's influence in Jingzhou can be imagined, not to mention that Kuai Yue is also the main supporter of Liu Cong's ascension to the throne. Now that Cao Cao is leading his army south, Kuai Yue, a person that Liu Cong relies on very much, has stood up to support Fu Xing's surrender theory. This can't help but give Liu Cong a big headache. didn't wait for Liu Cong to answer. Kuai Yue continued: "My lord, since ancient times, there has been a body of rebellion, and there is a fixed situation of strength and weakness. Now Cao Cao is marching south under the banner of the imperial court, if we resist, it will be a rebellious courtier, and the world will unite against us because of our rebellion, does the lord think that he can compete with the heroes of the world with the people of Jing Chu? Moreover, the lord has just ascended the throne, and the external troubles have not yet calmed down, but the internal troubles are about to rise. Isn't the lord really worried about Liu Qi in Jiangxia and Liu Bei in Xinye? What's more, Cao Gong's southern and northern wars swept away the heroes, and his prestige spread far and wide, and the world respected him. Now that the people of Jingxiang Nine Counties have just heard that Cao's army is coming, they are already terrified, does the lord think that with such a cowardly army and people, he can resist Cao Gong's army of millions of tigers and wolves? ”

Kuai Yue's words were reasonable, very demagogic and inflammatory, so that everyone had to be convinced. That's what you're capable of! Liu Cong seemed to be a little shaken after hearing this, and was very embarrassed about this matter, and squirmed for a long time before he burst out with a sentence, "What you said is right!" It's not that I don't want to listen, it's just that I just inherited my father's career, so I gave the land of Jingzhou to others, I'm afraid it will make people all over the world laugh! Just when Liu Cong was in a dilemma, the next step stood up and said loudly: "Fu Gongyi and Kuai Yidu's words are very correct, why is the lord unwilling to listen?" Everyone looked back, and it turned out to be Wang Cang, who had joined the army.

Wang Cang, the word Zhongxuan, is a native of Gaoping, Shanyang. His great-grandfather Wang Gong and grandfather Wang Chang were both high-ranking officials of the three princes of the Han Dynasty. Wang Cang's father, Wang Qian, once served as He Jin's long history when the general He Jin was in power. In this way, Wang Cang's family can be called a wealthy family of generations of ministers! When Wang Cang was young, he was valued by the great writer Cai Yong. Erudite and knowledgeable, Cai Yong was amazed to see his talent. Once, Cai Yong had a treat, and a lot of guests came. At this time, Menzi came to report that Wang Cang was here! Cai Yong's happy shoes were not put on, so he hurried to greet him in person. Everyone was curious to follow, but everyone was surprised to see that he was thin and short, and his appearance was not good! As I said before, people in the Han Dynasty had a serious tendency to judge people by their appearance, and when everyone saw that Wang Cang was very ugly, they thought it was not strange that Cai Yong was so excited to welcome a person who looked like this? But Cai Yong said: "This person is the son-in-law of the Wang family of Shanyang County, a big family!" He has a talent beyond the average person, and I can't compare to him. So I'm going to give him all my books! ”。 Everyone knows that Cai Yong is the father of the talented woman Cai Wenji, and he is a university scholar praised by the world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. can make people like Cai Yong happy and convinced, it can be seen that Wang Cang's talent is indeed not simple.

Wang Cang is not only talented, but also has an extraordinary memory. I will give you two examples here to understand, Wang Cang once went out with his friends to play, and saw a stone tablet on the side of the road, Wang Cang took a look, and his friend hurriedly ran over to block the stone tablet and asked with a smile: "It is said that you have a good memory, and after a glance, can you recite it?" Wang Cang smiled and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he recited it aloud, and his friend compared it and saw that every word was good, and he was amazed! Another time, Wang Cang watched people play Go on the side of the road, and the chess players accidentally messed up the chess game, and Wang Cang rearranged it for them. The chess player was very surprised, and didn't believe that he could do it, so he deliberately put a game to test him, and Wang Cang restored the chessboard, and the chess player worshipped!

But Wang Cang is indeed ugly. It is said that Wang Cang later came to Jingzhou to attach himself to Liu Biao because of the war in the Central Plains, and Liu Biao admired his talent very much and had the heart to marry his daughter to him. Where did she know that Miss Liu only saw Wang Cang's side, and immediately quit. told Liu Biao that if he married himself to Wang Cang, he would hang himself! Liu Biao was very helpless, and he had no choice but to give up! By the thirteenth year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao led the army to the south, Wang Cang had been attached to Liu Biao for 16 years. can also be regarded as the veteran of Jingzhou Group. Even such people came out to agree with the surrender theory, and Liu Cong smiled bitterly in his heart. But listen patiently to him.

Wang Cang then continued: "My lord, you should evaluate your own talents, how does it compare with Cao Gong?" Liu Cong smiled bitterly: "I'm not as good as him!" Wang Cang nodded, and then said: "Cao Gongxiong is only strategic, and he uses soldiers to enter the gods!" He captured Lü Bu at Xiapi, defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu, eliminated Yuan Shu at Huainan, and drove Liu Bei out at Runan. led the army to run thousands of miles, defeated the invincible Wuhuan in the white wolf, and now has recovered the land of Guanzhong! How many of the heroes perished in the hands of his old man cannot be calculated! Now he personally leads a million troops to the Han River, pointing at Jing Xiang! By what means can the lord confront him? ”

"This? My uncle Liu Bei is a hero in the world, and there are more than 100,000 warriors in Jingzhou with armor! We own almost all of the land of the powerful Chu State in the past. Don't we have the capital to fight Cao Cao? "Liu Cong is unwilling!

Wang Cang smiled and said, "Lord! Liu Bei is indeed the hero of the world! But did the lord ever think that if Liu Bei couldn't resist Duke Cao, the lord would naturally lose Jingzhou! But if Liu Bei can really resist Duke Cao, will he still be willing to live under the lord with peace of mind and be your courtier honestly? ”

"This!" Wang Cang's words can be said to have hit Liu Cong's weakness. That's true, Liu Bei was originally a hero at that time who would not live under the people for a long time. If Liu Bei can resist the Lord Cao Cao, then where would he be willing to live under Liu Cong and be someone else's courtier? Liu Cong's worst hopes were dashed. He stood up and said in frustration, "This is a big deal, and I have to ask my mother's opinion!" ”

At this time, Mrs. Cai actually turned out from behind the screen. His eyes were red, and his heart was full of grief. Corporal Husband is a virtuous corporal, and respects these so-called "virtuous people". People often say: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while!" "I thought that Cao Jun would go south, and at this critical moment, they would come forward to assist my son in protecting his husband's foundation. But I didn't expect it......

Mrs. Cai slowly walked in front of Liu Cong and held him in her arms. Tears rolled in his eyes, and he whimpered: "Since they all feel that surrender is the only way out, my child, let's obey!" Saying this, Mrs. Cai's heart was like a knife. Liu Cong looked at his mother's painful appearance, with mixed feelings in his heart, nodded silently, and his eyes were red!
