Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1167 Winning Jingzhou III

Mujing doesn't have much resentment towards the Kuai family.

The so-called troubled times, under the chaos, covered the whole world, from the powerful emperor to the traffickers and pawns, none of them could escape, nor could the aristocratic family escape.

Unless there are a few overlords like Yuan's.

In this way, the power of the whole family will be devoted to supporting them to achieve great things. Once the big things are accomplished, the family will become a royal family, which is also a big investment.

But most of the families are afraid to play the game in person.

First, they have no such overlord representative.

Second, there is only a thousand-year-old family, and there is no thousand-year dynasty. The reason why the family is a family is that they have not come to the front, and they have been passed down from generation to generation.

The Kuai family chose Liu Biao, of course.

Back then, the Kuai family also chose Mushan.

When Mushan rose to power in Nanyang, the Kuai family wanted to marry and make friends with the Mu family. Later, Mushan went straight up to three thousand feet and became the Prime Minister of one dynasty under one person and under ten thousand people.

On the contrary, the Kuai family, who retreated bravely at this time, did not hasten the marriage with Mushan, but delayed the marriage between the Kuai family and the Mu family. Otherwise, when Mushan was defeated and the Mu family was liquidated, the Kuai family would also suffer. implicated.

Kuai Liang's choice cannot be said to be right or wrong, but it is very wise and clear.

In Liu Biao's town in Jingzhou, the Kuai family spent a lot of energy and invested countless resources, including the Kuai family's network. If it wasn't for Kuai Liang to stabilize the scholarly circle for Liu Biao and manage Liu Biao's reputation among the scholarly scholars, Liu Biao would not It is impossible to be recognized so quickly.

Paying requires return.

It's like investing in a stock that has already been weighed down. At this time, no matter the ups and downs, you have to hold on and keep covering your position. Therefore, on this road, the farther and farther you go, the farther you go.

Now, once the dream is broken.

Liu Biao's failure.

It represents the efforts of the Kuai family for so many years, but it finally came to nothing.

Kuai Liang's mood can be imagined.

His eyes, amidst the turbidity, still had a gleam of light. He looked at Mujing, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "I naturally want to live. Only those who are worse than death will seek death. I still want to die." Want to live!"

"Then you should know what I want!"

Mu Jing himself doesn't know whether he should use Kuai Liang, because this is a double-edged sword, don't expect Kuai Liang to have no resentment at all, if he can stab him with a knife, Kuai Liang will not be polite.

But now, he really needs Kuai Liang.

Liu Biao is going to die.

The position of Jingzhou Mu can only belong to Liu Zong.

It cannot be Liu Qi's.

How old is Liu Zong, isn't it easy to control him?

In this way, Jingzhou can be gradually transitioned over, instead of being sunk all at once, and then slowly cleaned up, that would be too harmful.

As the saying goes, it is easy to destroy.

Building is the hardest.

The most important thing for Mu Jing to consider is to allow Jingzhou to transition peacefully under the Minghou Mansion.

But Kuai Liang was the only one who could do it, because he was the number one counselor under Liu Biao, representing Liu Biao's harmony and prestige, and he could also make Jingzhou people submit. His support for Liu Zong was equivalent to the Jingzhou Mufu's support for Liu Zong.

"I want to meet the lord!" Kuai Liang asked.

"can!"

Mu Jing stood up and said, "Arrange for them to meet, and change another yard for Duke Kuai!"

"promise!"

Standing behind him, Jin Jiu clapped his hands and took the lead.

Back in the lobby, Mu Jing's thoughts were still a bit messy, he paced back and forth, thinking and thinking, it's rare to have both ways, he wants Jingzhou, but he doesn't want war, how can we minimize war.

"Lord!"

Xu Shu walked in and bowed his hands in salute.

"Say!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, telling him not to pay too much attention to these empty etiquettes.

"The news has already spread, and the reactions from all parts of Jingzhou have yet to be collected, but now the reactions of the various departments of the Jingzhou Army have been caught by us!"

Xu Shu said.

Jing Wusi's news network in this regard is still very strong.

"How about it?"

"Except for Wenpin, everyone else is a bit lazy!" Xu Shu reported: "Jiangdong Army was the first to withdraw its troops. Its whereabouts are unknown, but it should be directly under the jurisdiction along the river. He must pass through our Jiangxia!"

"Is there any hope of stopping him?"

"The casualties of our army are not small at present. Although the battle in Xiling was an ambush, the Jiangdong Army fought back. There were not a few casualties, and the situation must be calmed down. In addition, we don't have warships. I'm afraid..."

Xu Shu didn't bless him with too much hope, but shook his head and made a rational choice: "I think the best thing is to let them leave, clean up Jingzhou first, and it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"

"I wanted to keep Sun Bofu!"

Mu Jing was a little unwilling: "But now after fighting Sun Wentai, it suppresses me in the face of strength. The key is the lack of strength of the navy!"

He paced back and forth.

"How about bringing back the main force of the navy over there?"

Mu Jing couldn't help it.

At present, the Jingping naval division of the Mu Army is only the strength of the second echelon. The real naval force of the Mu Army has already been transferred to the south to build camps and camps by the sea. It is still in Jiaozhou. If it goes north, it is not impossible. You can go straight to Jiangdong itself along the border of Jiaozhou.

"never mind!"

Mu Jing gritted his teeth: "Be patient, it's not time for a decisive battle with Jiang Dong!"

He kept a main force because Jiangdong underestimated his naval power, so that he would have an advantage in attacking Jiangdong in the future.

"Maybe we really can't keep him, but we can't do nothing!"

Mu Jing said: "Even if Sun Bofu is allowed to leave, it can't be so easy. Tell Huang Zhong to order him to lead the army himself, and set up ambushes on both sides of the strait. How much can be left behind?"

"promise!"

"How about the other generals in Jingzhou?"

"Cai Hao and Huang Zu have already left the Dangyang battlefield and left in a hurry. The main force of our army wanted to intercept them, but they couldn't control the water passage after all. The warships of the Jingping navy were almost exhausted, so there was no way to pursue them!"

"Send someone to say surrender!"

"Will they surrender?"

"Is it unimportant? Let's talk about it first. Opportunities must be given. Otherwise, we will have to pay more. Our life is life. It must be rare. Jingzhou Erlang's life is also life." , we need a lot of manpower and material resources to build Jingzhou!"

"Understood!"

Xu Shu asked: "Then who is the most suitable!"

"Let Zhuge Liang go!" Mu Jing squinted his eyes and said, "He suffered once, and I will let him suffer again!"

Doomed to return without success.

"My lord seems to hold Zhuge Liang very seriously!"

"Hmm!" Mu Jing didn't deny it at all: "This is a talent. I have always paid attention to talent. For example, I tried my best to get you to be an official in the Minghou Mansion. It's the same. Talent can support a future!"

"My lord's respect, I'm flattered!"

"Don't be modest, you have such weight!" Mu Jing said: "I value Zhuge Liang, and I value you too, but you are all young, and at present, it is impossible to entrust you with important responsibilities. I hope you can grow up quickly. "

Xu Shu had a feeling of obedience. Although it was a good thing to be respected, Mu Jing's youth made him very embarrassed when he said this.

But he quickly put that feeling behind him.

He continued: "In addition, Zhang Yun's troops stationed in Hua Rongdao have already stood still. He should be waiting and watching, and he sent a lot of scouts to enter Jiangxia. He probably wants news of the seal. Once the news is true, it's hard to say what decision he will make. !"

"If I were him, I would go back to Changsha!" Mu Jing guessed.

"can you?"

"Yes!" Mu Jing was firm.

"That's easy, take Changsha first!" Xu Shu said.

"How to take it?"

"Han Xuan!"

"This is a man who is not easy to fool!"

"I have confidence!"

"Then you go to Changsha!" Mu Jing said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, you and Zhuge are the talents I am more optimistic about. Among the younger generation, they are either military or government affairs, but they are all talented in civil and military affairs." Or, at least, I hope that you can develop in an all-round way!"

"Subordinates should live up to the lord's expectations!"

Xu Shu bowed his head and cupped his hands and said.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

No matter what methods Mujing used to force him to become an official, how Mujing treats him is the most important thing. Such a high regard is very courageous.

"What about Wenpin?" Mu Jing continued to ask.

"Wenpin, he is attacking Yicheng!"

"So fast?"

"After hearing about Liu Biao's news, he attacked Yicheng non-stop!"

"Wen Zhongye, you are really a loyal person!" Mu Jing sneered.

"Not necessarily!" Xu Shu shook his head.

"If he is really loyal and unparalleled, he shouldn't go to Yicheng, he should come to Jiangxia!"

"Loyalty seems traitorous?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"I can't say that. Now that the towering tree has fallen, the perched birds will naturally fly separately. They each have their own ideas. Wenpin is newly defeated and has insufficient troops. They are the weakest of all Jingzhou armies. At this time, he needs someone to witness his loyalty!"

Xu Shu said in a low voice.

"Loyal and righteous people, the world is happy!" Mu Jing understood.

"He will definitely not surrender!" Xu Shu said.

"Only captured!" Mu Jing understood again.

"So he can be the first one for us!" Xu Shu continued: "Beat him first, I believe, it's not difficult, even if you stay on the sidelines, you can easily defeat him!"

"Nowadays, a person who leads troops to fight has such a complicated mind. You say that Kuai Liang is a sophisticated man who no one knows what he thinks in his heart. Even if he is willing to use it for me, would I dare to use it?"

Mujing sighed.

In troubled times, there are heroes, and there are also heroes. Similarly, in this troubled world, people's hearts will inevitably become complicated.

In front of life and death.

The potential is limitless.

This is what the troubled times forced out.

"Whether you dare to use it or not depends on whether the lord needs it or not!" Xu Shu said, "As long as the lord needs it, I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who dare not use it!"

"I thought you were complimenting me!"

Mujing is complacent.

..............................

Inside an airtight courtyard guarded by the Divine Guard.

Kuai Liang and Liu Biao sat opposite each other.

There were just a few jugs of wine on the desk.

"My lord, you don't look very good!"

Kuai Liang poured the wine himself and said softly.

"The spirit is a little bit worse!"

Liu Biao nodded: "But in this state, that's it. The feeling of waiting to die is not very good. I have to wake up from nightmares every day. It seems that I don't know when my head will not be my own!"

"sorry!"

Kuai Liang was somewhat overshadowed.

Between them, the master and the minister, they have been in love for many years, and apart from those interests, they are also very affectionate. Seeing Liu Biao fall into such a state, he couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.

"Don't do that!"

On the contrary, Liu Biao was a little free and easy: "Life and death are destiny, if you lose, you lose. If I dare to come out and fight, I have made a reservation that one day I will die without a burial place. Now I can still spend time with my wife and children. Generous!"

"He will kill you sooner or later, and won't keep you!"

"I know!"

"How about running away?" Kuai Liang asked.

"Zi Rou, do you believe that we still have a chance to escape?" Liu Biao asked back.

Kuai Liang was silent.

There is no chance at all, absolutely no, don't look at them as if they are just under house arrest, not to mention the soldiers around them, no one knows how many eyes are staring at them secretly.

"Don't worry about me!" Liu Biao drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, and then said, "You should worry about yourself now. Mu Longtu asked you to come to see me to explain that he still doesn't want to kill you, but it doesn't mean you Safety, you are worth using, so he will save your life. After using it, it is not too late to kill you. If others don't kill, it will be worthy of his benevolence and righteousness. But you, he may not stay, it is too dangerous !"

This sentence is completely the result of heart-to-heart comparison.

"I know!" Kuai Liang smiled wryly. His greatest advantage has become the greatest difficulty for him to survive. A person who is too smart is a disaster. It is also a normal thing.

"Tell me, what do you think!"

Liu Biao asked.

"He gave me a chance, and I can't let it down. After all, I'm afraid of death!" Kuai Liang laughed at himself.

"It's normal to be afraid of death, and I'm afraid too!"

Liu Biao's face became even more bitter.

"I've thought about it. The reason why he wants to use me is for the stability of Jingzhou. We send the eldest son out. I don't know if we are helping him or hurting him!" Kuai Liang said: "Cai Hao and Huang Zu will not be reconciled Yes, they have heavy troops in their hands, and the Eldest Young Master will naturally be the well-deserved new lord of Jingzhou!"

"They can't beat Mulongtu!"

"But Mujing may not be willing to let Jingzhou continue to fight, and he is not without enemies. His enemies are in the north and east of the river. If Jingzhou is in chaos for too long, more hands will inevitably be involved. At that time, he will not be worth the loss! "

"So Mujing will definitely make a move!" Liu Biao's eyes lit up, "Understood, he's taken a fancy to Zong'er. Although Zong'er is a few years old, he is my son after all. With your support, he has hope. , take Jingzhou without blood!"

"It's not impossible with blood and blood. There will be a fight in the end, but it should be the least amount of war, and Jingzhou will be unified!" Kuai Liang said.

"My two sons seem to have to be involved!"

Liu Biao sighed.

"Can't hide!" Kuai Liang said.

"Can my son still live?"

"The young master may have hope, but once the eldest son crosses the line, he must die in battle!"

"Hey!"

Liu Biao sighed, "Mu Jing is really exhaustive!"

He thought for a while, and said: "You came today, you must want to persuade me, I am already in a doomsday situation, for the sake of my two sons, I must do something!"

"What Mu Longtu wants, you and I know!"

Kuai Liang nodded: "If you don't help him, he can only force it. No one can say how many people he can keep. He wants to take Jingzhou peacefully, but the premise is that Jingzhou must be taken. Any obstacle, he will forcefully clear away, without leaving a trace of disaster, this person is strong, he should be a generation of heroes, he is decisive in killing, unlike a young man, Jingzhou has shed too much blood, for the sake of the eldest son and the younger son, also For the people of Jingzhou, so-and-so, I can only be shameless and ask the lord to do something that the lord does not want to do!"

Liu Biao is Jingzhou's Dinghai Shenzhen.

Don't look at him being overwhelmed by the Jingzhou nobles in the past, the snake can't do without a head, Jingzhou would be out of luck without Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's influence is naturally extraordinary.

Sheriff, magistrate.

Liu Biao also has countless supporters.

It is better for him to say one word than Kuai Liang to do ten things.

If Kuai Liang wants to live, he can only do it according to Mu Jing's ideas, which cannot avoid Liu Biao, so he is the first to persuade Liu Biao to let Liu Biao burn his last breath for Jingzhou.
