Chapter 58: Coercion
Ma Liang has long wanted to make a move against Kuai Yue, and this time when he made an alliance with the Lu Council, he explained Kuai Yue's situation and discernment, and after discussion with everyone, they unanimously decided to win over Cai Mao and hit Kuai Yue hard.
There are three reasons for this.
First, Cai Mao is in control of the army, and he is still the uncle of Mrs. Zhuge Liang, so it is always difficult to start at will. Although Kuai Yue's reputation is good, his family's status in the army is far inferior to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Second, although Cai Mao's performance on the issue of Liu Biao's heir is very disgusting, he is very good at managing interpersonal relationships, and has a very good reputation among the scholars and grass people in Jingzhou.
Kuaiyue is different.
Back then, Jingzhou was rampant with thieves, and Liu Biao had a great headache, and he didn't dare to attack these gangs that were thieves everywhere with their families as a unit. Kuai Yue was very light-hearted, and designed to deceive the leaders of the fifty-five sect thieves, saying that the imperial court would give them a reward, and then took the opportunity to get them drunk and cut them down.
The means are good means, but in this way, those thieves hate Kuai Yue so much that they can't wait to chop Kuai Yue carefully.
Third, and most importantly, this is the point.
Kuai Yue is a native of Zhonglu in Xiangyang County, during the Liu Biao period, he occupied a large piece of rich and fertile land, compared with his family, the land of Ma Liang's family can really be called a bird does not poop, a chicken does not lay eggs.
Such a family that has offended a lot of people and has a lot of fertile land, it is simply sorry for himself not to rob them.
Ma Liang and Guan Ping went to the door this time, just to humiliate Kuai Yue - of course, they also have to talk about methods.
"Kuai Gong is our own person in Jingzhou, and he is familiar with the words of the sage, how could he do something to betray his family? But everyone outside said so, saying that Kuai Gong deliberately sold our Jingzhou for glory and wealth, and the people of Jingzhou who harmed him have been bullied.
Kuai Gong also knew that my Ma family was a group of barbarians, and they were all screaming to peel off the skin and cramp the people who betrayed Jingzhou.
Hehe, Kuai Gong won't be surprised, right? ”
Kuai Yue's heart was pounding.
Guan Ping was able to swagger into Jiangling, and he could immediately find his own courtyard, there must be someone to guide him.
Kuai Yue didn't want to die, and he didn't want his whole family to be killed.
He hesitated for a long time, and then had to tremble:
"Of course not me! I tried to persuade Liu Cong not to surrender! Yes, yes...... It was Fu Xun who played right and wrong and advocated surrender. ”
Kuai Yue thought about it, and said in his heart that Fu Xun was a native of Niyang County, Beidi County, and had no roots in Jingzhou, no matter what black pot he threw at him, it would definitely be the best choice.
Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and poured beans into the bamboo tube and told the story of Fu Xun.
At that time, Cao Cao went south, Liu Cong was actually not willing to be captured, he asked everyone if they could rely on the foundation of the ancestor to confront Cao Cao and wait and see what happened, but Fu Xun jumped out and said that this is absolutely impossible.
To fight against Cao Cao, you have to rely on Liu Bei, first of all, the possibility of Liu Bei winning is very small, and secondly, even if Liu Bei defeats Cao Cao, it is estimated that he will not be willing to continue under Liu Cong soon.
As soon as Liu Cong heard it, it made sense, and he was forced to surrender in desperation, so there was a later story.
Guan Ping's face was slightly gentle, nodded slowly, and said:
"Then where is Fu Xun?"
"Guan, General Guan really wants to kill him?" Kuai Yue's face was bitter, "Kill him, uh, uh, he is under the protection of Cao Jun, if General Guan kills him, I am afraid that he will ......"
"Tell me where he is. If you don't kill him, you have to kill his whole family. Guan Ping lowered his eyes, took out a silk from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Please!" ”
There is no basis for his words, Guan Ping must force Kuai Yue to write a confession.
Kuai Yue also knew that once he wrote, his reputation would be taken care of by Guan Ping, but he was afraid that it would be finished soon.
But if you don't say it, Guan Ping's knife is in front of your eyes.
As long as he wants, he can take his own life with a single sword.
In desperation, Kuai Yue could only sit down with a sad face.
He has always encouraged himself to be brave and scold Guan Ping and Ma Liang for being despicable and shameless, but in the face of death, the words of the sage he read could not play any role, and he could only painfully write down all the things that Fu Xun had persuaded Liu Cong to surrender before, and also explained in detail where Fu Xun was.
Guan Ping slowly put away the confession, and his face, which had been tense since entering the door, finally eased.
Call.
Threatening to kill other people's whole family is still Ma Liang's specialty......
"Guan Ping, thank you." He bowed and said with a smile, "I'll wait in Jiangling for a while, and I ask Gong Kuai to take care of me these days." When I return to Xiangyang, I will visit Kuaigong's family. ”
Kuai Yue sighed in his heart.
He wanted to wait for the two of them to leave and immediately report Cao Cao to search for them all over the city, but a sentence of family made him suddenly feel a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his head.
"You threaten me? I, my home is also ...... in Xiangyang"
"How dare I threaten Uncle Shi?" Ma Liang smiled and said, "Threatening others is a barbarian thing, and we don't care about it." The little nephew also knows that Kuai Gong's family also has a nursing home, but recently, a group of deserters have hidden in the Da Xian Mountain and gathered together with those barbarian thieves, which is really not easy to deal with.
The little nephew is all for Uncle Shi, and there is absolutely no intention of threatening Uncle Shi. ”
Kuai Yue's temples jumped and jumped, and cold sweat couldn't stop dripping down.
He knew that Ma was ruthless and could really do anything. If, as he said, there is a group of deserters and thieves who converge and hide near Da Hyeon, even if I beg for pleasure to go in and search the mountain, I may not be able to find them.
But everyone in my family is in the open, how to defend day and night?
Even if he kills Ma Liang and all his family dies tragically, what is the use......
"I, I have a reputation in Gangneung, what is the matter with the two virtuous nephews, just come to me, I ...... I'll do my best. ”
Guan Ping's face was overjoyed, and he grabbed Kuai Yue's hand and shook it:
"I have long known that Kuai Gong is by no means a pickled person, the little nephew and others are in Jiangling, all for Kuang Fu Han Room, and I have to ask Kuai Gong to find some Cao Jun military information, thank you Kuai Gong for this matter."
The corners of Kuai Yue's mouth twitched painfully a few times, but in the end he didn't dare to complain, and could only squeeze out a fairly correct sentence from the corner of his mouth:
"May I ...... with you Kuang Fu Han Room, Kuang Fu ...... Han Chamber. ”
Guan Ping and Ma Liang left Kuaiyue's courtyard, the sky was already dark at this moment, Guan Ping looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was moonless and starless, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
He sighed, and Ma Liang asked strangely:
"Everything is going well today, why bother?"
Guan Ping smiled bitterly: "Brother Ji Chang, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it is true that he has treated many people of Limin, but how can he have treated these big families badly?"
They became officials of the Han Dynasty and ate the grain of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty gave them land so that they could have no worries about food and clothing.
Why did the Han Dynasty fall into decline, they did not think of the kindness of the Han and fought hard, but went with the flow, surrendered to the traitors today, and were willing to support the Han family with us tomorrow? ”
"If they really regard Cao Cao as a Han minister, then they should defend the Han family with Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao is regarded as a traitor, he should also help the Han family with us as soon as possible.
Why do they go with the flow, only have interests in their eyes, and never consider how the big man is? ”
"Even if we wait for Kuang Zheng Dahan this time, after a thousand years, we will all be loess, and when there is a strong enemy invasion, who else can my Dahan rely on? Can you still rely on these gentlemen, are you noble? ”
Ma Liang scratched his head, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.
"Hey, what will happen after a thousand years is still left to a thousand years later, and I believe that future generations will have an idea.
Shall we take a break, or shall we ......?"
"No rest, I worshiped two uncles today, and the third one is finished...... Let's talk about it again! ”
