Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 392 Entering Xiangyang

Early the next morning, Cai Mao came on horseback, whispered a few words to Xun Yu, and left quickly.

The team continues on its way.

Zhang Wu didn't know what the two said, but he made a rough guess. At least Xun Yu seemed to be in a good mood.

In two days, Yunhui entered Xiangyang.

Cai Mao came out of the city to meet him, but the Jingzhou army did not stop him and just let Yunhui ride into the city.

You know, these are two thousand Yunhui Cavalry.

Zhang Wu could capture Yecheng with three thousand Yunhui, and naturally he could capture Xiangyang with two thousand men.

"Wen Ruo. Or don't worry about any plans. Now that the army has entered the city, I will kill Liu Biao directly."

"Zi Qian, please be patient and don't be impatient. Liu Biao is determined not to die now. It's true that the counties in northern Jing will surrender to Xiangyang, but the land in southern Jing will also be given to Sun Ce. Gaining a piece of land to support a huge problem is really a good idea. It’s unwise.”

At this time, both sides of the road were crowded with people watching the excitement.

Zhang Wu sat on Chi Ji and chuckled twice: "Wen Ruo praises Sun Ce a little too much. In my opinion, the Sun family in Jiangdong can be destroyed with a snap of a finger."

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing, and did not argue with Zhang Wu on this issue.

Keep Liu Biao alive and make the south of the Yangtze River become a pattern of numerous princes, or kill Liu Biao and gain the land north of Jing first. There is no right or wrong between the two.

The unification of the world is the general trend, and it does not matter whether there is one more Sun Ce or one less Sun Ce.

Even if they really pull him out to fight, looking at the past records of the two, even if Sun Ce is good at water fighting, he will definitely not be Zhang Wu's opponent.

It's just that Xun Yu, as a counselor, and Zhang Wu, as a general, looked at the problem from different perspectives.

Attacking cities and plundering territories, beheading generals and seizing cities, and calculating the gains and losses of each city and territory are almost the instincts of every general. Even the better this general is at fighting, the more he will think this way.

As a counselor, the battles planned must be based on political correctness.

After Cao Wei fought for many years, the land was vast and the people were wealthy, but they were short of food and grass.

It is politically correct to suspend war for now and recuperate.

Liu Bei in Huainan can use his strategy to defeat the enemy quickly.

But once Jingzhou loses its master, the other princes will inevitably take action. If they are not careful, Cao Wei will be dragged into the quagmire of war again.

Therefore, Xun Yu would rather lure Cai Mao and plan for it slowly.

After the two entered the city, they did not go directly to the Prefecture Mufu. Instead, they went to Kuai's house to place soldiers and horses, as well as Zhang Wu and his family.

The confidence of the aristocratic family was unexpectedly great.

It stands to reason that after Kuai Liang promised Kuai Yu'er to Zhang Wu, he became a man with two legs. Even when Zhang Wu came to visit, he should keep a low profile to avoid arousing Liu Biao's suspicion.

In fact, when a group of people arrived at Kuai's house.

The house was decorated with red decorations, and a group of servants were beating gongs and drums along the street, for fear that others would not know that Zhang Wu's residence was located here.

Cai Mao met Kuai Liang outside the door, and after agreeing on a time to meet with Xun Yu, he left first.

When Zhang Wu saw his father-in-law going out to greet him in person, he didn't care much. He got off his horse and stepped forward to greet him.

"My son-in-law, Zhang Wu, has met my father-in-law."

The word "father-in-law" almost made Kuai Liang smile. It's just that Zhang Wu can shout like this, but he can't ask Da to agree. No matter what, Kuai Yu'er is just Zhang Wu's concubine.

"You can't do it, you can't do it. Your Majesty is far away from Xiangyang, and you are tired from traveling and traveling. Please come in and have a rest."

After saying that, he took Zhang Wu with one hand and Xun Yu with the other hand and entered the house.

If the Kuai family promised their daughter to Zhang Wu that day, it was a huge gamble with the fate of the entire family.

As of today, this bet has come to an end.

As the war situation in the world gradually became clearer, the Kuai family had one foot on the wheel of Cao Wei. Now their status in Jingzhou even surpassed the Cai family and became the first of the three major families in Jingzhou and Xiangzhou.

In addition to the wealth that the family had accumulated previously, Liu Biao secretly guarded against the Kuai family, and also tried to comfort him with kind words and offer some benefits from time to time to win him over.

No one is a fool. If Cao Cao conquers the world in the future, Liu Biao may even live a good life if he wants to survive. The only way to rely on the Kuai brothers is to say a few good words.

What's more, even if it were a direct fight, among the three major wealthy families in Jingxiang, Liu Biao did not think that the Cai and Huang families could fall to him.

The situation in Jingzhou is like this. Without the support of the aristocratic family, he, the Jingzhou shepherd, is just a decoration, and the decree cannot even leave Xiangyang.

Let alone suppressing the aristocratic family?

Kuai Liang held a banquet, and Kuai Yue accompanied him.

During the banquet.

"Wen Ruo, Zi Qian, General Han Sheng, and this one"

The person who asked the question was Zhang Wu's father-in-law. Naturally, Chen Lin did not dare to offend him. She quickly put down her wine glass, stood up and said, "Chen Lin, whose courtesy name is Kong Zhang. I have seen Kuai Biejia."

"It turns out that it's Chen Kongzhang, a famous scholar from Jizhou, who is here to see me. Okay, okay. Now that I'm in Xiangyang, I'll stay for two more days so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

Xun Yu didn't shirk, and responded generously: "In this case, I will trouble Brother Zirou."

They were just out for fun.

Before Liu Bei is completely eliminated, there is essentially no difference between being in Jingzhou or Yecheng.

Furthermore, Xun Yu can also take this opportunity to learn about Jingzhou's cultural heritage and the customs of various places.

So that in the future management, we will not be blinded.

There are endless topics to talk about among literati and elegant guests.

A few of them gathered together to talk about everything, ranging from classics and history to anecdotes and strange stories. From time to time, Chen Lin would persuade them to drink and make small remarks to add to the fun.

The two warriors Zhang Wu and Huang Zhong listened very interestingly even though they couldn't get a word in.

After all, there are not many places where you can see Xun Yu and others drinking wildly.

After everyone finished drinking and talking, it was already dark.

They each went back to rest, and spent the night without talking.

Early the next morning, Huang Zhong took Liu Qi into custody and followed Zhang Wu and Xun Yu to the direction of the Prefectural Mufu.

"Zi Qian will come in later. Liu Jingzhou will certainly serve wine. As soon as Liu Qi hands over the emperor's blood letter, assassins will appear during the banquet. Just drink and ignore it."

"I know, I know, I don't need to give you advice like a fool." As he said this, Zhang Wu glanced sympathetically at Liu Qi behind him who had not yet recovered from the excitement of returning home.
