Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 31 Each has a plan
When everyone left the wedding banquet, night had already fallen and the sky was filled with stars.

"Huo Shenjun!"

The cold wind blew against his face, making Huo Jun suddenly energetic. Suddenly, there was a shout from behind, so he turned around and saw that it was Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue cupped his hands towards Huo Jun and said with a smile: "Huo Canjun, what you did today is really extraordinary!"

"They are all working for Duke Ming!" Huo Jun replied with a smile.

"I hope Huo joins the army and works hard in Jiangxia!" Kuai Yue said.

"Thank you, Lord Kuai!"

The two greeted each other with smiles, and there was no sign of serious conflicts.However, just as the two turned around and separated, Huo Jun boarded the carriage and drove towards the distance.

Kuai Yue looked at the carriage and snorted slightly, but he was a little disapproving. Under the guidance of Cai's servant, he walked to his residence.I saw that Cai Mao had been waiting for a long time and kept pacing there, looking very worried.

Seeing Kuai Yue, Cai Mao rushed forward anxiously and said: "Brother Yidu, Liu Jingzhou ordered Liu Qi to send troops to Jiangzuo. If he makes great achievements in Jiangdong and establishes his reputation, I am afraid Liu Cong will not be able to compete with him. We will wait for him then." And what is the capital to advance into the body?"

Kuai Yue did not answer Cai Mao's question, but sat down on the couch leisurely and poured himself a cup of tea.

Seeing that Kuai Yue was so calm and unhurried, Cai Mao walked to the opposite side of Kuai Yue and begged: "Kuai Junhou~"

Kuai Yue took a sip of tea and saw Cai Mao being so flustered. He put the tea cup on the table and said displeasedly: "Degui, when a big event happens, how can you get angry easily and how can you be so flustered?"

When Cai Mao saw Kuai Yue acting like this, he also frowned and asked, "In that case, Mao is willing to listen to Kuai Junhou's opinions."

Kuai Yue calmed down and asked: "Why are De Gui worried? But if he leads the army to attack Jiangdong for Liu Qi, he may make great achievements and show his power, and compete with Liu Cong for the throne, which will ruin our plan."

"Exactly!" Cai Hao nodded.

Kuai Yue asked: "Why is De Gui so sure that Liu Qi can defeat Jiangdong? You must know that the elite soldiers of Jiangdong are especially better than our Jingzhou soldiers and horses."

"Liu Qi is assisted by Liu Bei and Huang Zu, and he has mobilized his army to march eastward. It's hard to say whether he will win or lose!" Cai Mao said worriedly.

Kuai Yue sneered and said: "From Yue's point of view, Liu Qi's troops entering Jiangdong is also a good thing for us."

"Good thing?"

"Yes!" Kuai Yue analyzed and said: "Today Liu Jingzhou is old and his life and death are uncertain. Liu Qiruo is far away in Eastern Xinjiang. Although he has troops and horses, there is no one in Xiangyang. The second sister Degui slandered Liu Qi in Liu Jingzhou's ear. Degui and Zhang Yun will maintain military rule outside, and then the inside and outside will be controlled by you and others, so what's the need to worry?"

"Degui, Hu Hai and Fusu can serve as a lesson for the past!"

In Kuai Yue's view, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Since Huo Jun was instigating Liu Qidong's expedition to Jiangdong, he only had to make a fuss about the disadvantages of the expedition to Jiangdong.

As he said, Liu Biao was old and he didn't know when he would die of illness. Even though Liu Qi had achieved fame outside the country, they were the only ones who could contact Liu Biao's death immediately after Liu Biao's sudden death.

Looking at Cai Mao who was thoughtful, Kuai Yue smiled and said: "As for the military, De Gui can use the name of guarding against Cao Cao to shorten his troops and deploy soldiers to camp in the north of the Yangtze River. Let Liu Qi lead 7000 to [-] people, and Liu Bei and Huang Zu has nearly [-] soldiers, just let them fight against Jiangdong."

"Although Huang Zu hates Jiangdong, he pities his own soldiers and horses, so how can he fight to the death with Sun Quan. At that time, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will only have more than [-] soldiers. Jiangdong's soldiers and horses may range from [-] to [-] to as many as [-] to [-]. Look at that. How can Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others fight against Jiangdong!"

"Without military merit, how can Liu Qi become famous?"

After saying that, Kuai Yue picked up the tea cup and drank. They were stronger than Liu Qi and Liu Bei, and they could also benefit from it by transforming blessings and misfortunes.This was also the reason why he disapproved of Huo Jun. In his eyes, the battle between elder and younger was beginning now.

Hearing this, Cai Mao suddenly became enlightened, a smile appeared on his face, he clapped his hands and said, "Brother Yidu is really wise!"

With Xiangyang in their hands, they can control the variables through which Liu Qi and the others receive assistance. By controlling the variables, they can control the progress of their war.If the progress of the war is controlled, Liu Qi will not be able to make any achievements by then.It would not accomplish anything, but would harm Liu Qi's own reputation.

"De Gui can delay the time of sending troops, and write a letter to Duke Cao, asking him to send troops to pretend to be an attack, so that Liu Jingzhou will be frightened and dare not send an army." Kuai Yue said with a smile.

Cai Mao laughed a few times and said, "It's easy to delay sending troops!"

"good!"

……

While Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were talking in secret, Liu Qi, Liu Bei, and Huo Jun were also discussing their next actions.

In Liu Qi's attic, three people were sitting across from each other discussing matters.Huo Jun looked at the ladder that had not been removed and smiled.If he hadn't intervened, Zhuge Liang would have been pulled out by Liu Qi.Liu Qi poured wine for the two of them and said worriedly: "Zhong Miao is going to Jiangxia, and Qi doesn't have Zhong Miao to help him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope with it!"

Huo Jun was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Ming Gong has decided to send troops, so the eldest son does not need to worry. You can just listen to Liu Shijun's advice on military strategy. There is only one thing that the eldest son needs to pay attention to." "

"Please Zhong Miao speak up!"

"Jingzhou's military and political affairs are mostly controlled by Cai Mao and Kuai Liang. If we send troops to Jiangdong now, I'm afraid they will shirk their words. The eldest son still needs to keep an eye on him and urge him from time to time." Huo Jun said.

"Okay, this is easy!" Liu Qi said confidently: "I wonder if Zhong Miao has other matters to explain?"

Huo Jun pondered for a while and asked, "I wonder what the relationship between the eldest son and General Liu of Changsha is?"

The general Liu Pian mentioned by Huo Jun was none other than Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan.Liu Pan was brave in battle and was Liu Biao's most valued disciple.

After Liu Biao put down Zhang Xian's rebellion, he became a partial general and stationed in You County, Changsha, under the command of Zhonglang General Huang Zhong. He and Huang Zhong invaded Ai, Xi'an and other counties many times, and often fought against Tai Shi Ci, the captain of Jianchang.

Liu Qi put down the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Pan and I have known each other since we were young. We have a friendly relationship. We often communicated with each other in the past, but we were stationed with him in You County. We rarely met each other and occasionally met through letters."

Huo Jun nodded slightly and said: "If this is the case, the eldest son can write a letter and ask General Liu Pian to lead the army when the troops advance to see if they can help the young master."

Liu Qi laughed out loud and said, "It would be easy if there was Brother Pan!"

After saying that, Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Qi heard that your envoy had a relationship with Tai Shici, the captain of the Jianchang school. I wonder if your envoy could write a letter to see if you can persuade Tai Shici to surrender to me in Jingzhou."

"No!" Liu Bei waved his hand to reject it and said: "The eldest son, I have a strong temperament, a strong faith, and the style of the ancients. He is really a famous person in Qingzhou. Now that he has joined the Sun family, how can he submit easily? This is a revised letter , I might alarm Sun Quan, Taishi Ci and others, which would be detrimental to our advance."

Taishi Ci was defeated and surrendered to Sun Ce, and became close friends with Sun Ce.However, his relationship with Sun was not that of an ordinary monarch and his subjects, but a relationship that transcended a monarch and his subjects and was under a partnership.

After serving for Sun Ce, Taishi Ci commanded tens of thousands of troops and took charge of six counties including Haihun and Jianchang. He became subordinate to Sun's family and played the role of a small local prince.

Of course, characters like Tai Shici were common in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty.For example, the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, it seems that Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's subordinate, but in fact Zhang Liao is an independent armed force from Lu Bu's subordinates, but he only works for Lu Bu.The same is true for the relationship between Zang Ba and Cao Cao. They were under Cao Cao's name, but they were independent armed forces.

The status of these people is also high, and they often worship senior officials.Zhang Liao served under Lu Bu and was worshiped by Lu Xiangguo at the age of 28. He was a senior official in prefecture-level cities in later generations.

Cao Cao entrusted the two states of Qing and Xu to Zang Ba's jurisdiction, and also granted the counties of Xuzhou to Zang Ba and his men.

"That would be a pity!" Liu Qi sighed.

The three chatted for a while, and then Liu Bei and Huo Jun left.

After leaving the mansion, Liu Bei and Huo Jun rode in the same car.

After getting on the car, Liu Bei raised his hands to Huo Jun and said, "Thanks to Zhongmiao's plan, I was able to break free from the prison."

"Don't dare!"

Huo Jun quickly helped Liu Bei up and said: "The army has not moved yet and Jiangdong has not yet marched. How dare you break free from the prison for Ming Gong?"

Liu Bei sat upright and said with concern: "Zhongmiao is going to Jiangxia now. If he and the Sun family come to attack, Bei will be deeply uneasy and should veto it at that time."

Huo Jun smiled and said: "Ming Gong, the army is about to attack Jiangdong, how can you not know the geography and military of Jiangzuo? Jun will go to Jiangxia to explore the geography and military of the army, and if the Sun family comes to attack, Jun can defeat it. , it can also boost the morale of Governor Huang and Liu Jingzhou."

Liu Bei frowned and said: "Zhong Miao's trip is in danger, so it is better to let Uncle Zhi follow him. Uncle Zhi's courage is second only to Yun Chang, Yide and Zilong in the army, and he is also a brave general."

Liu Bei was a little worried. At this point, Huo Jun was only doing things for him, but he didn't know his status. What if he was kidnapped? At the moment, he could only help and care for Huo Jun in minor matters.

"In that case, Jun would like to thank Duke Ming!"

Huo Jun is not reserved either. He wants to go to Jiangxia to cause trouble, and he also needs the help of reliable subordinates.Especially when going into battle to kill enemies, Chen Dao's brave generals are a big help.

“Safety comes first in this trip!”

"promise!"
