Ding Yi stepped forward, "Liu Jingzhou is too polite, hurry up and be polite!" ”

After pulling Liu Biao up, Ding Yi pointed to the others, "Why doesn't Liu Jingzhou introduce the heroes of Jingzhou to this official?" ”

"Look at me so old!" Liu Biao patted his forehead, and immediately introduced the Jingzhou officials and generals present to Ding Yi one by one.

Everyone had a brief greeting on the dock, and Ding Yi went to the state pastor's mansion accompanied by Liu Biao and others.

On the way, Kuai Yue asked Ding Yi tentatively: "I don't know why the imperial court sent an envoy to Jingzhou this time?" ”

Ding Yi said: "Your Majesty heard that Liu Jingzhou's youngest son Congsheng is smart and clever, and he can survey the pillars of the Han Dynasty in the future, so he specially ordered the officials to come and pass the decree to Ling Lang to be knighted!" ”

Liu Biao was very happy to hear Ding Yi praise his youngest son, and when he heard about Ding Yi's intention, he immediately smiled, this child was only ten years old, and he had already entered the sight of the emperor and the court, and he could be described as having a bright future.

When he arrived at the state governor's mansion, Liu Biao immediately ordered someone to put on the incense case, and led the Jingzhou officials and family members to kneel in front of Ding Yi to listen to it and read out the will.

Ding Yi put up a full shelf and read the edict aloud, and the edict said that Liu Cong was named the Marquis of Ye Cheng, where is the emperor's will, in fact, it is Cao Cao's meaning, and the emperor Liu Xie is now a puppet without any right to speak.

No matter who it meant, in Liu Biao's opinion, this is the meaning of the imperial court, that is, the meaning of the emperor, he accepted the will very respectfully, and invited Ding Yi to take a seat, accompanied by him and the civil and military personnel of Jingzhou, everyone began to chat.

Chatting and chatting, the topic talked about the battle of Cao Cao leading the army to conquer Qin Feng and the Flame Army, Ding Yi sighed and said: "At the beginning, the imperial court was also based on the idea that more things are better than less, so Qin Feng, a thief, was given an official, How do you know that this thief is a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, and after getting the benefits, he actually united with Yuan Shao to attack the imperial court!" ”

Speaking of this, Ding Yi looked at the reactions of Liu Biao and other Jingzhou officials and generals, and then said: "Actually, the envoy came to Jingzhou this time to have another meaning, the imperial court wants Liu Jingzhou to strengthen his armament in the next period of time, to prevent Qin Feng and the Flame Army, which have been sitting on the throne, from moving south, listening to Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and other generals say that this person has the courage of ten thousand people, and his uselessness is not inferior to Lu Bu back then, I hope that Liu Jingzhou must take more precautions, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves!" ”

Liu Biao was already very dissatisfied with Qin Feng, but when he heard Ding Yi say this, he snorted coldly as soon as he slapped the desk, "Hmph, if he dares to beat my idea of Jingzhou, the old man will call him if he comes back!" ”

After a singing and dancing banquet, the banquet ended, Ding Yi and his party were sent to the post house, and Liu Biao left the officials and generals to discuss.

"Princes, the imperial court sent Ding Yi to canonize Xiao'er, what kind of medicine is sold in Cao Mengde's gourd?" Liu Biao asked.

For Cao Cao, Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu has always been the main battle faction, he stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, I have received the news that Cao Cao led the army to defeat Qin Feng under Wancheng City, and then was chased by Qin Feng and led the army for hundreds of miles, all the way to Wuyang, and the 50,000 horses were almost wiped out!" Cao Cao sent someone to canonize the little boy at this time, obviously it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart! In my opinion, Ding Yi was ordered by Cao Cao to stir up the relationship between the lord and Qin Feng! ”

Liu cousin's nephew Zhang Yun stood up and said: "Lord, Huang Taishou is not unreasonable, but the relationship between my Jingzhou and Qin Feng has long been not very good, this person is too ugly, and his appetite is indeed too big, and more importantly, this person is born as a thief, no matter what, he can't change his nature of robbery, this time Cao Cao was defeated, Qin Feng's house is also big, and the threat to my Jingzhou is also greater, I thought Jingzhou couldn't help but guard against it!" ”

Next, other civil and military officials expressed some opinions on this matter, but Liu Biao listened to everyone's speeches, but did not express his position.

Not long after the Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang brothers returned to their own mansions, they heard Menzi report that Ding Yi, the envoy of the imperial court, had asked to see them.

After hearing this, Kuai Liang said to Kuai Yue: "Brother go to see him? ”

Kuai Yue said: "Brother is not going? ”

Kuai Liang smiled: "There are some things that are difficult to say when there are too many people!" ”

"In that case, the little brother will go to see Ding Yi!"

Kuai Yue came to the front hall to receive Ding Yi, the two chatted like friends for many years, through conversation, Kuai Yue found that Ding Yi was a young man with clear thinking and extraordinary conversation, and it was rumored that Ding Yi was ugly in appearance, but he didn't expect it to be like this at all.

The two talked and talked for a while before Ding Yi said what he wanted to do this time.

"At this time, I came here this time, I want to ask the brothers of the Kuai family to come forward to persuade Liu Jingzhou and the prime minister to jointly send troops to attack Qin Feng, if Qin Feng is a child of which family, it doesn't matter, but he was born in the Yellow Turban, and his thief nature has not changed, how can He De occupy the land of Nanyang?"

"The prime minister is not afraid that Liu Jingzhou knows the real purpose of sending him to Jingzhou, that is, because Qin Feng is too much of a threat to the imperial court and Xu Du in Nanyang, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch? If Jingzhou and the imperial court jointly send troops to exterminate the thief Qin Feng, it will be beneficial to both the imperial court and Jingzhou! ”

"The prime minister has promised that after the matter is completed, the southern part of Nanyang will continue to be governed by Jingzhou, and the northern part will be set as a buffer zone. In addition, the prime minister also promised that as long as the brothers of the Kuai family contributed to this matter, they would be promised a marquis afterwards! ”

There is nothing wrong with beating Qin Feng for the Kuai family, he Kuai Yue also looks at Qin Feng unpleasantly, a person born as a thief actually occupies such a piece of territory in Nanyang, and his Kuai family has not reached out his hand, why let a thief get it?

The key is that Qin Feng sent people to collect all the taxes in the counties in the south of Nanyang, you must know that the Kuai family also has industry there, and there are several county officials who are still members of their Kuai family, and Qin Feng's actions have also touched the interests of his Kuai family.

Ding Yi saw that Kuai Yue seemed to be a little moved, so he clapped his hands with a smile, "Someone!" ”

A few members of his entourage walked in carrying a few boxes, and the heavy wooden boxes made a dull sound when they were placed on the ground, and when they heard it, they knew that the weight of these boxes was not light.

Ding Yi asked his entourage to open the box, and the jewels of the gold, silver and jewelry in the box were dazzling.

As soon as Kuai Yue saw it, his eyes narrowed, and after thinking and weighing for a while, he said to Ding Yi: "Since it is the intention of the prime minister, my Kuai family is naturally obliged, but after the matter is completed, the matter of the marquis promised by the prime minister, please ask the envoy to bother more!" ”

Ding Yi smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's natural, whether this matter is successful or not, the prime minister will know the sincerity of the Kuai family, and the prime minister has always been stingy with officials!" ”

The next day, the Kuai brothers went to Liu Biao's mansion to ask for a meeting, and analyzed the current situation facing Jingzhou, Nanyang has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanyang, with the current population of Nanyang, it is impossible to support so many troops, Qin Feng wants to feed so many soldiers, he must find a way to expand his territory.

But the west is Cao Cao, Qin Feng can still hold Nanyang, if you want to take the initiative to attack Cao Cao, I am afraid that you don't have that strength, the west is a barren land, so Qin Feng can only hit Jingzhou with his idea.

The analysis of the Kuai family brothers frightened Liu Biao, as if Qin Feng would soon lead a large army to kill him.
