Kuai Yue is Kuai Liang's younger brother, and the two are both important henchmen of Liu Biao who control Jingzhou, and their status in the Zhennan General's Mansion is not low. However, Kuai Liang's strength lies in internal affairs, while Kuai Yue is proficient in power schemes. After Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, many actions were taken by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue to advise Liu Biao, and this time it was the same.

Kuai Yue did not agree with Cai Mao's assertions, believing that Yuzhou was a land of right and wrong, and Runan was the center of conflict in this land of right and wrong.

Cao Cao sent troops to Yuzhou, because he had the name of the general of Zhengdong on his head, and he could meddle in the affairs of Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, but Liu Biao was the general of Zhennan, and the appointment order issued by the imperial court was to supervise the affairs of Jing, Jiao, and Yangzhou. Just like the last time Liu Biao used troops against Sun Jian, who was too protective of Changsha, it was justifiable, and afterwards I heard some people questioning and opposing, and no one "spoke up" for Sun Jian's father and son. But if Liu Biao had adopted Cai Mao's radical proposal this time and sent troops to Runan, Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Yuan Shu in Yangzhou would have to be blamed, and even Lu Zhi in Xuzhou might have spoken out.

Kuai Yue didn't want to directly refute Cai Mao and stiffen the relationship between the two, so he deliberately pretended to think, and after delaying for a while, he said to Liu Biao: "De Jue (Cai Mao's character) proposal is very good, we should quickly mobilize troops and horses, and occupy the entire territory of Runan before Cao Cao makes a move." As long as you have the springboard of Runan, it will be much easier to attack Yanzhou in the north and Yangzhou and Xuzhou in the south! ”

Nima, Kuai Yue, this guy is really speechless, he is trying to provoke Liu Biao to fight with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and even Lu Zhi at the same time! If Runan is really so easy to occupy, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are not fools, they haven't done anything for so long, and they don't want to leave a buffer zone between Yanzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou, so as not to see each other shirtless early.

Liu Biao's little caution that was just encouraged by Cai Mao was completely awakened by Kuai Yue's more radical proposal. He broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "A certain place that owns Jingzhou and a state still feels that it is difficult to govern, where do you dare to look beyond Jingzhou?" If De Jue and Yi Du Xiu want to put forward the words of Bing Runan again, they still have to base themselves on Jingzhou and make a plan again! ”

Liu Biao completely denied Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's radical proposal, although Cai Mao was unwilling, but he was not good at being stubborn, and Kuai Yue didn't want Liu Biao to intervene in Runan, so everyone used their brains. Let's think about other countermeasures.

Zhang Yun, who had never had a chance to speak, suddenly said: "Since you can't send troops to Runan, then deploy in advance, display the army on the roads leading from Runan to Jingzhou, and force the Yellow Turban thieves in Runan to go east and enter Yangzhou to scourge Yuan Shu!" ”

The relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu has always been bad, and the two have fought many times openly and secretly, and Changsha Sun Jian's father and son are too close to Yuan Shu, so they provoke Liu Biao. Only then was Liu Biao sent an army out of Jingzhou. Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew, and he knows Liu Biao's mind better than others, so he put forward the idea of "harming others and benefiting himself".

Zhang Yun's proposal, how can I listen to it. It's really good, but after thinking about it carefully, Kuaiyue still feels that it's inappropriate. For the sake of Cai Mao's face, Kuai Yue needs to pay attention to the method and proportionality when he opposes it. But for Zhang Yun, a junior, he doesn't have so many scruples. Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "This strategy is not appropriate. If we had placed heavy troops west of Runan in advance, it would be tantamount to telling Cao Cao that we had already known about his plot. In this way, he betrayed Liu Xuande, and he will inevitably be disgusted with the envoy, and he will never pass the news to Jingzhou in the future. ”

Zhang Yun said with some disapproval: "Liu Bei is just a lost dog, even if he is evil, what can he do?" ”

"Although Liu Bei is weak, if he falls to Yangzhou Yuan Shu, and leads the soldiers and horses to cut off the road leading to the direction of Shouchun in Runan, when Cao Cao's army goes south, after sweeping away the Yellow Turban force in Runan, he will directly confront the troops in Jingzhou, in case of conflict between the two sides, a senseless battle may break out, and the contradiction between the envoy and Cao Cao will become bigger and bigger in the future, but it is for nothing to cheapen Yuan Shu in Yangzhou!"

Zhang Yun used Yangzhou Yuan Shu to talk about things, intending to impress Liu Biao, and Kuai Yue also talked about Yangzhou Yuan Shu at this time, but he was opposing Zhang Yun's proposal.

This is not good, that is not possible, Liu Biao seemed a little irritable, so he asked Kuai Yue directly: "With a different view, how to deal with it?" ”

Kuai Yue Chengzhu was in his chest, and said confidently: "The envoy is often disturbed by Liu He's minions who are entrenched in the area from Danshui to Nanxiang, why not open a hole at the junction of Nanyang and Runan this time, and let those yellow turban thieves in Runan flow into the northwest of Nanyang County, and fight with the gang of gangsters near Danshui to lose both?" As for Liu Bei in Runan, the envoy might as well further woo him and assign the southwest of Yingchuan under Jingzhou's actual control and Luyang and Ye counties under the rule of Nanyang County to him, which can be regarded as giving him a place to live. If Liu Bei is unwilling to cede to Cao Cao the several county towns in Runan that he has occupied, then he will fight Cao Cao in Runan, and we can watch from the sidelines. If Liu Bei is willing to withdraw his men and horses to the area from Kunyang to Luyang, which is adjacent to Yingchuan and Nanyang, he will be able to resist Cao Cao for Jingzhou in the future. ”

In the end, he is a master of conspiracy, and when Kuai Yue came up with an idea, he actually calculated Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and even Liu He.

Liu Biao saw that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun nodded frequently after listening to Kuai Yue's countermeasures, so he said: "I will tell Jian Yong tomorrow that I will tell Jian Yong to return to Pingyu as soon as possible and inform Liu Bei to get ready." ”

On the second day, Liu Biao met with Jian Yong and told Jian Yong that in order to thank Liu Bei for his kindness, he was willing to hand over the five counties in the southwest of Yingchuan under his control, as well as Luyang County and Ye County, which belonged to Nanyang County, to Liu Bei, and would provide Liu Bei with soldiers, horses, grain and grass in the future to help Liu Bei resist the pressure from Cao Cao from Yanzhou. Liu Biao's words sounded really good, at least they were beyond Jian Yong's expectations, but he couldn't understand why Liu Biao deliberately let the Yellow Turban rebels enter Nanyang, was it because he had a grudge against the people of Nanyang?

When Jian Yong returned to Pingyu on the road with doubts, in Sanhu Pavilion, three hundred miles away from Xiangyang City, Qu Lin, the old master of Qu Jiabao, had just received a secret letter from his grandson Qu Meng sent back from Luoyang.

"Why did Meng'er ask us to try our best to find this person named Wei Yan in the Nanyang area? Could it be that this person is like Li Zhengfang at the beginning, with an unknown ability? Qu Lin pinched his grandson's handwritten letter and muttered to himself.

"Father, Meng'er repeatedly reminded in the letter, saying that there may be drastic changes in the direction of Chang'an, let us prepare to prevent Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew from rushing from Wuguan to Nanyang after the defeat, but with the strength we have now, how can we stop the group of wolf-like Xiliang soldiers under Zhang Ji?" Qu Meng's father, Qu Yong, interrupted the old man's thinking with a speech.

"There is no need to worry too much about this matter, no matter who controls Nanyang, we only need to firmly hold the two strongholds of Sanhu Pavilion and Fengxiang City in our hands, even if they want Danyang City and Nanxiang City, at a critical juncture, we might as well let go of Lu first." We just need to grit our teeth and persist for a few more years, and when the eldest prince goes south from Youzhou, it will be the day when my Qu family soars to the sky! ”

Although the old man is nearly seventy years old, in the past few years, because the family has been surrounded by the strong rise of Liu Yu's father and son, his mood is particularly hearty, and it seems that it is possible to live to eighty years away.

"Send all the quick-witted young people in the clan to look for this young man named Wei Yan in Nanyang County, and once they find it, be sure to lead him to the Sanhe Pavilion, and the old man will receive him personally. The things that Meng'er specially explained must be done as soon as possible. Remember, you have to give a special explanation to the clansmen who go out, then Wei Yan may be a skilled martial artist, and you must not use coercion to avoid losses! ”

The old man of the Qu family spoke, and the elites in the three dock forts of the Qu family suddenly went out and headed towards the counties in Nanyang County.

The Qu Mengtuo family's search for Wei Yan was naturally instructed by Liu He, who was far away in Jicheng. Liu He only remembered that Wei Yan was born in Nanyang County, but he couldn't remember the specific counties and townships. According to Liu He's calculations, Wei Yan should be less than twenty years old at this time, and Wei Yan in history has emerged in Liu Bei's camp more than ten years later when Liu Bei entered Shu, at that time Wei Yan was just a part of Liu Bei, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi These generals are several streets away.

Since Liu He received the warning that the chaos in Chang'an had arisen, he was a little worried about the safety of the Sanhuting base in Nanyang, and Sanhuting did not have a general who could stand alone at this time, Li Yan naturally could not put down the big mess in Luoyang and return to Sanhuting, and Qu Meng, Chen Gui and Deng Hai and others also had to guard Luoyang. Just when Liu He was worried about this matter, he suddenly remembered Wei Yan in Nanyang, so he asked people to pass the book to Qu Meng, so that the Qu family could quickly find Wei Yan and draw Wei Yan closer to his camp.

Whether there is a bone on the back of Wei Yan's head, Liu He doesn't know whether there is a backbone, but Liu He knows that no matter which camp a first-class talent like Wei Yan enters, sooner or later he will show his edge, rather than cheapening others, it is better to pull into his own camp early, carefully cultivate it, and then take on the heavy responsibility. is like Sun Li and Xu Huang, who were excavated by Liu He, aren't they just in charge now, which makes Liu He very relieved?

Jian Yong has not yet returned to Pingyu, but Liu Ye, who left Pingyu, returned to Changyi with good news. Cao Cao was in a good mood when he learned that Liu Bei didn't dare to stiffen his neck with him, so he told Ren Jun, an old man who was in charge of military logistics, and asked him to send someone to send Liu Bei some grain, grass and weapons, which could be regarded as preparing a Cheng Yi for Liu Bei to leave Runan.

Lao Cao didn't know that Liu Bei was no longer the poor worm when he was in Xuzhou since he got Shan Fu, this time there was Shan Fu to give advice to Liu Bei, Lao Cao's trip to Runan was only afraid that there would be a lot of variables, what kind of ending would it be, until the last moment, no one knew Lu Dao......
