"Huh?" Kuai Yue was stunned when he heard this, secretly slandered Liu Biao's hypocrite, and asked knowingly, the secret letter is in your hands, Sun Ce is dead or not, can't you see it?

However, since Liu Biao opened his mouth to ask, Kuai Yue couldn't help but answer: "Judging from the secret letter sent back by Xizuo, Sun Ce was shot in the cheek by a sharp arrow and was seriously injured, presumably although 、、、 did not die on the spot, he also died soon. ”

In fact, he wanted to say that Sun Ce was only afraid that he was dead, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. For the sake of prudence, more things are better than less, Kuai Yue did not say his inference after all, so as not to get into trouble. If Sun Ce is dying, he will give up, if he is not dead, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Biao will not blame him in the future, so he can't talk too much, leaving some leeway, so it is a wise move.

"So Sun Ce's concubine is dead?" Sure enough, Liu Biao followed Kuai Yue's train of thought and said the words that he deliberately avoided mentioning.

"Good, good, good! As soon as the concubine died, the old man was carefree. Hahaha! In the continuous applause, Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and laughed heartily.

How could his weak body not be able to withstand such a loud laugh at all, and after laughing twice, he coughed violently: "Cough, cough, cough, cough!" After a burst of coughing, horizontal lines swelled up on Liu Biao's thin face, showing his true age, and at first glance it seemed that he had some bad stool, and his face was flushed.

Finally stopped coughing, Liu Biao noticed that the brothers of the Kuai family in the hall looked at him with earnest expressions, and immediately smiled a little disguised, and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, purely because of a moment of excitement. The Kuai brothers immediately understood. They all showed relieved smiles, and Liu Xian, who was sitting on the side, also laughed.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xian's smile fell in Liu Biao's eyes. But it made Liu's face sink, and his face suddenly became gloomy. Squinting his eyes, he stared at Liu Xian coldly, his eyes flashing with a dim and inexplicable cold light. At this moment, Liu Biao suddenly remembered the scene in the inner hall just now, and immediately connected it with the unspeakable scene in the bedroom before, which made Liu Biao very annoyed, and a strong murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

In fact, Liu Biao has obviously felt that he has become more and more poor in sexual affairs in recent years. In the face of Cai's increasingly plump and concave delicate body, as well as her various provocative styles, Liu Biao couldn't resist the temptation at all. He is often distracted, so he makes up for it every day, and he is full of interest in advance, but when it comes to the battle, he is powerless, and he has a feeling that he has the intention to kill the enemy and is unable to return to the sky. Every time it was a hasty matter, it caused Cai's to pester him endlessly, wanting to be dissatisfied, making him miserable, but he was full of guilt for Cai. As a result, she had to make amends in other ways to meet her requirements as much as possible.

It is precisely because Liu Biao has been troubled by this unspeakable concealment for a long time that he is particularly sensitive in some aspects, especially when he can't see a handsome man in the prime of life in his backyard. Even his son was no exception. For this reason, he replaced or cleared all the young men in the backyard, leaving only a few loyal old servants and maids, and never allowed other men to appear in the backyard. lest someone carry him behind his back and contact with Cai's. Although he also knew that no one dared to hit Cai's attention, he still couldn't help but think about it. Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, the backyard has become a forbidden place for men other than him. And Cai's is his forbidden belly. Except for him, no one could contact Cai, not only could they not look at her more, but they couldn't even get close to her.

This kind of extremely deep secret, except for the people close to Liu Biao who are faintly aware of it, no one else knows at all. Therefore, the Kuai brothers came to the state capital at night, but instead of going to the backyard to ask to see Liu Biao, they instigated Liu Qian, the chief secretary who disagreed with their brothers' political views, to report to them. And Liu Xian knew that it was very inappropriate to go to the backyard late at night, but because of his face, and the words of the Kuai brothers, he entered the backyard regardless of the hot head.

This is where the scene takes place at the entrance of the inner hall. Cousin Liu saw Liu Xian, the chief bookkeeper, standing in the inner hall, and immediately thought that his privacy might have been discovered by Liu Xian, so he was very annoyed with Liu Xian and hated him.

Liu Biao's mind was full of Sun Ce's assassination just now, and he put this matter in the back of his mind for the time being, and when he heard Liu Xian's laughter at this moment, he felt extremely harsh, so that the things that had just been left behind naturally came to his mind. It was Liu Xian's smiling face at this time that fell in Liu Biao's eyes, which was a mockery of him, laughing at his incompetence, and rushing to Cai's body, spraying before he tossed a few times; ridiculed him for not being able to do anything, and the old tooth lost and wanted to eat tender grass.

As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Liu Biao's heart suddenly rose, his eyes were full of murder, and his cold and fierce gaze seemed to want to tear Liu Xian to pieces, and break the corpse into thousands of pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart. It's just that Liu Biao is good at hiding his feelings, and his joy and anger are invisible, even if he has murderous intentions towards Liu Xian at this moment, but on the surface, he is squinting and contemplating, giving people an unfathomable feeling, and it is impossible to guess his thoughts.

But this is limited to Liu Xian, or only he is still in the dark, but the Kuai brothers, who have been following Liu Biao for a long time, noticed the different color in Liu Biao's eyes for the first time, so they were immediately alert, and it was not difficult to guess the reason after a little thought. And this is exactly in the hands of the Kuai brothers, which can be regarded as a conspiracy to succeed, because their brothers' smiles at the moment are very bright, and in Liu Biao's eyes, they are smiling sincerely, which is diametrically opposed to Liu Xian's "smirk".

Fortunately, Liu Biao is very particular about doing things, the more secret things are, the deeper they hide, the more they do it without leaving traces, without leakage, and it will never make people suspicious. He will not do things that are not taught and punished, nor will he deal with Liu Xian at will on trumped-up charges, he will either endure it and do nothing, if he wants to do it, he must do it openly and honestly, and achieve the results he wants silently, and he will not be truthful and criticized.

As a person who is close to old age, Liu Biao pays more attention to face than anyone else, knows the truth of leaving a voice and leaving a name for a person, and will never do a stupid thing that ruined his reputation in a lifetime. Therefore, before there is no sufficient reason to deal with Liu Xian, he will not make a statement, or even show the slightest abnormality, let alone blame Liu Xian at will.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Biao quietly asked the Kuai brothers: "As soon as Sun Ce dies, Jiangdong is bound to be in chaos, how should we deal with it at that time?" ”

The Kuai brothers seemed to have expected Liu Biao's question, and Kuai Liang, who had not spoken until now, replied without thinking: "Don't worry, my lord, I have already taken measures against this." At present, Sun Ce is critically ill. The situation in Jiangdong is bound to be turbulent and unstable, and people's hearts are fluctuating. However, it is precisely because of the unstable situation that the Jiangdong generals are bound to strengthen their troops to garrison the defense line along the river. Gather heavy troops and always guard against our Jingzhou army sneaking attack across the river.

In view of this, at present, it is not advisable for our Jingzhou soldiers and horses to move lightly, especially the naval army cannot move without permission, it is best to maintain the existing strength and hold the troops still; Otherwise, the slightest change in our army will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Jiangdong Army, thus forcing them to quickly stabilize the situation and turn their sharp edge at our Jingzhou. Other words. Even if we immediately send troops to attack Jiangdong, it will be difficult to make substantial progress, and we will even indirectly help the Sun clan stabilize the situation, so that they can unite and unanimously resist our Jingzhou army. If this is the case, it will be more than worth the loss for us and we will miss a great opportunity to seize Koto in one fell swoop. Therefore, sending troops to Jiangdong is actually the next policy. The wise do not do it. ”

Liu Biao nodded thoughtfully, and thought: "What Zirou said is not unreasonable. In your opinion, after Sun Ce's death, who will lead Jiangdong in the Sun family? (Kuailiang.) Zirou, a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun, set the political direction for Liu Biao to appease Jing Chu. Zuo Qi Cheng was praised by Liu Biao as "the theory of Yongji". It is the hero of Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou, and he is also the first chief bookkeeper under Liu Biao's account. ）

After Kuai Liang heard this. I knew that Liu Biao actually wanted to say, "Who in the Sun clan will lead Jiangdong is the most beneficial to my Jingzhou", but his identity as a clan member of the Han family and the face of the lord of a state are very vague and quite flickering. But Kuai Liang has followed Liu Biao for many years, knows his temperament well, and knows that Liu Biao once missed an opportunity to seize Jiangdong, for which he regretted it afterwards; This time, he learned a lesson and desperately wanted to seize Jiangdong, and he would never miss the opportunity again. This is the second opportunity to seize Jiangdong in front of Liu Biao.

The last chance was when Sun Jian was ambushed by Huang Zu. At that time, Sun Jian was dead, and the situation in Jiangdong was chaotic, Kuai Liang once offered advice to Liu Biao to eradicate the remnants of Sun Jian's tent, and then waved his army south to seize Jiangdong. However, Liu Biao did not have the heart to fight for hegemony, and was bent on sitting in Jingzhou, with no intention of attacking the city and expanding the territory, so he vetoed Kuailiang's advice. However, with the drastic changes in the situation in the world and the severe situation faced by Jingzhou, Liu Biao finally stopped resting on his laurels and realized the importance of expanding his territory and strength, so he set his sights on Jiangdong and wanted to capture it. However, Jiangdong Sun Ce was brave and good at fighting, and the Jiangdong Army under his command also became more and more brave and had good combat power, which caused Liu Biao to send troops to confront the Jiangdong Army several times, but they were all defeated, and he lost his troops and lost his generals.

To this day, every time Kuai Liang thinks of this, he can't help but shake his head and sigh, very annoyed. Fortunately, the opportunity that has been waiting for many years has finally come again, and this time it is different from the past, Liu Biao's attitude is clear, and it is extremely urgent to seize the heart of Jiangdong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is deliberate. In this regard, Kuai Liang was happy to see it come to fruition, and was willing to offer advice and help Liu Biao succeed.

"Sun Ce died young, and his son was young, now only five years old, and it was difficult to convince the public, so it was only his four younger brothers who could lead Jiangdong. The eldest brother Sun Yi, the second brother Sun Quan, the third brother Sun Kuang and the younger brother Sun Lang, among which the best candidates are Sun Yi and Sun Quan. Sun Yi is fierce and brave, and his personality is the same as Sun Ce, and he is deeply respected by Jiangdong Wenwu; However, Sun Quan was forcibly recruited by the general Li Li two years ago and went to Chang'an to take up a post, and has not returned yet. Therefore, if nothing else, Sun Yi is the best candidate to lead Jiangdong after Sun Ce. ”

Speaking of this, Kuai Liang paused, looked at Liu Biao's face, and continued: "Since Sun Yi has the style of his brother Sun Ce, we and the other fine works and assassins sent to Jiangdong might as well transfer the target, so we will repeat the trick and transfer the previous preparation to Sun Yi, so that he will follow in Sun Ce's footsteps and die again." At the same time, spreading rumors and pushing Sun Ce's son to the throne is the most beneficial to my Jingzhou. Is this a foolish opinion, and I don't know what the Lord's will will be? ”

After Liu Biao heard this, he smiled and said: "What Zirou said is exactly what I want, just implement it accordingly." However, Sun Ce is newly mourned, and I, Jingzhou, should send an envoy to mourn?????? Well, there is a hard trip to the master book, set off after dawn, go early and return early. After speaking, without waiting for Liu Xian to answer, Liu Biao waved his hand and motioned for the Kuai brothers to go back to rest, then got up and left the main hall and walked to the backyard.

After all, the main bookkeeper Liu Xian was ordered to go to Jiangdong to offer condolences.

When Sun Jian was shot, the Jiangdong envoys came to Jingzhou to offer condolences, and Liu Biao listened to Kuailiang's advice, so he ordered all the Jiangdong envoys to be killed. Since then, although Jingzhou and Jiangdong are only separated by a river, there is little precedent for sending envoys to negotiate with each other, and they have almost cut off contact. This time, Liu Biao set a precedent again and sent a messenger to mourn, which can be called a benevolent and righteous act, but I don't know if Liu Xian can come back alive?
