Xiaoguangong

Chapter 58 Coercion
Ma Liang had long wanted to take action against Kuai Yue, and this time when he was allied with the Mainland Council, he revealed Kuai Yue's situation. After everyone discussed, they unanimously decided to win over Cai Hao and severely hit Kuai Yue.

There are three reasons for this.

First, Cai Mao controls the army, and is also the uncle of Mrs. Zhuge Liang, so it is not easy to do it casually.Although Kuai Yue has a good reputation, his family's status in the army is far inferior to that of 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. He has a very good reputation among the scholars and grassroots in Jingzhou. big brother image.

Kuai Yue is different.

Back then when the Jingzhou sect was full of thieves, Liu Biao was very troubled, and he didn't dare to attack these gangs of thieves based on the family as a unit.Kuai Yue, on the other hand, was very calm, designed to deceive the leaders of 55 sect thieves, saying that the imperial court would give them rewards, and then took the opportunity to get drunk and cut them off.

The method is a good method, but in this way, those sect thieves hated Kuai Yue to the core, and wanted to chop Kuai Yue into fine pieces.

Third, and most important.

Kuai Yue was from Zhonglu, Xiangyang County. During Liu Biao's 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 "no bird shits, chickens don't lay eggs."

Such a family that has offended many people and owns a lot of fertile land, it would be a pity not to rob them.

Ma Liang and Guan Ping came to the door this time to severely humiliate Kuai Yue—of course, they also wanted to talk about methods.

"Mr. Kuai is a native of Jingzhou, and he is familiar with the words of the sages. How could he do such a thing as betraying his family? But it is said that outsiders say that Mr. Kuai deliberately sold us Jingzhou for the sake of prosperity and wealth. The Jingzhou people who have been harmed have been People bully.

Duke Kuai also knew that my Ma family was ruled by a group of barbarians, and they were all clamoring to peel off the skin of those who betrayed Jingzhou. I called Aping to visit for the benefit of Duke Kuai.

Hey, Mr. Kuai won't be offended, will he? "

Kuai Yue's heart was pounding.

Guan Ping was able to slip into Jiangling without hesitation and find his other courtyard immediately. Someone must have pointed him out.

Kuai Yue didn't want to die, and he didn't want his whole family to be killed.

After hesitating for a long time, he could only tremble and say:

"Of course it wasn't me! At that time I tried to persuade Liu Cong not to surrender! Yes, it was that...it was that Fu Xun who was telling lies and insisting on surrendering."

The more Kuai thought about it, he thought that Fu Xun was from Niyang County, Beidi County, and he had no roots in Jingzhou, no matter what kind of scapegoat he was, it would definitely be the best choice.

Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to talk about Fu Xun's story like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

At that time when Cao Cao went south, Liu Cong was not willing to be captured without a fight. He asked everyone if they could rely on the predecessor's foundation to confront Cao Cao and wait and see what happened, but Fu Xun jumped out and said it was 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. Secondly, even if Liu Bei defeats Cao Cao, he probably won't want to continue to be under Liu Cong soon.

As soon as Liu Cong heard that it made sense, he was forced to surrender in desperation, and only then did the subsequent stories emerge.

Guan Ping calmed down slightly, nodded slowly, and said:

"Then where is Fu Xun?"

"Guan, General Guan really wants to kill him?" Kuai Yue looked bitter, "Kill him, uh, uh, he is under the protection of Cao Jun, if General Guan kills him, I'm afraid..."

"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 piece of silk from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Please!"

There is no evidence for the words, Guan Ping must force Kuai Yue to write a confession.

Kuai Yue also knew that once he wrote, his reputation would be determined by Guan Ping, and he was afraid that he would be ruined soon.

But if he didn't say it, Guan Ping's knife was right in front of his eyes.

As long as he wanted to, he could kill himself with a single blow.

In desperation, Kuai Yue could only sit down with a sad face.

He has always encouraged himself to be brave and scolded Guan Ping and Ma Liang for being despicable and shameless, but in the face of death, the words of the saints he read could not play any role. , and also explained in detail the location of Fu Xun.

Guan Ping put away the confession in a slow manner, and his face that had been tense since entering the door finally eased.

call.

Ma Liang is good at threatening to kill other people's whole family...

"Thank you, Duke Kuai, Guan Ping." He saluted and said with a smile, "I will stay in Jiangling for a while, please take care of Duke Kuai during these days. When I return to Xiangyang, I will visit Duke Kuai's house." people."

Kuai Yue's heart skipped a beat.

He originally wanted to notify Cao Cao to search for them all over the city immediately after the two left, but the word family made him feel a chill from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

"Are you threatening me? Me, my family is in Xiangyang..."

"How dare I threaten Uncle Shi?" Ma Liang grinned. "Threatening others is something barbarians do, and we don't bother to do it. My nephew also knows that Kuaigong's home also has a guard, but recently a group of deserters hid in Xianshan Among them, it is really not easy to deal with those barbarian sect thieves.

The little nephew is all for Uncle Shi, and absolutely has no intention of threatening Uncle Shi at all. "

Kuai Yue's temples twitched and he was sweating unceasingly.

He knew that Ma Liang was ruthless and could do anything.If, as he said, there is a group of deserters joining the sect bandits and hiding near Mount Xian, even if I beg Le to search the mountain, I may not be able to find them.

On the contrary, everyone in my family is in the open, how can we defend against day and night?
Even if Ma Liang is killed, all his family will die tragically, what's the use...

"I, I am well-known in Jiangling. What's the matter with the two nephews? Just come to me, I... I will do my best."

Only then did Guan Ping look happy, and he grabbed Kuai Yue's hand and shook it:
"I've known for a long time that Duke Kuai is definitely not a low-ranking person. My nephew is waiting in Jiangling to support the Han family. I have to ask Duke Kuai to find out more information about Cao's army. Thank you Duke Kuai for this."

The corner of Kuai Yue's mouth twitched a few times in pain, but in the end he didn't dare to complain, and could only squeeze out a rather correct sentence from the corner of his mouth:
"I would like to help you...to help the Han Dynasty, to help...the Han Dynasty."

Guan Ping and Ma Liang left Kuaiyue's other courtyard. It was already dark at this moment. Guan Ping looked up at the sky and saw that there was no moon or stars in the sky. He couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

He sighed, and Ma Liang asked strangely:

"Everything went well today, why is it so?"

Guan Ping said with a wry smile: "Brother Ji Chang, the 400-year-old man has indeed treated many common people badly, but why did he treat these big families badly?
They served as officials of the big man and ate the food of the big man. The big man gave them land so that they had no worries about food and clothing.

Why did the big man fall, they never thought of the kindness of the big man and fought hard, but instead drifted with the tide, surrendering to the rebels today, and tomorrow they are willing to help the Han Dynasty with us? "

"If they really regard Cao Cao as a prime minister of Han, they should defend the Han Dynasty together with Cao Cao.

If you regard Cao Cao as a traitor, you should also help the Han Dynasty together with us early.

Why do they follow the crowd, only have interests in their eyes, and never consider how big men are? "

"Even if I wait to rectify the big man this time, after a thousand years we will all be loess, and when a strong enemy invades again, who can I rely on? Can I still rely on these gentlemen and aristocratic families, are you all dignified?"

Ma Liang scratched his head, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.

"Hey, let's leave things for thousands of years later, I believe future generations will have an idea.

Shall we take a break, or..."

"No rest, I paid respects to two uncles today, and the third one is gone...Let's discuss it later!"
