King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 657 Liu Biao Withdraws His Troops
"Hey!" Liu Biao immediately waved his hand and smiled at Kuai Jun, "There's no need to be so polite! Where's your father? But he's in this carriage!"

"Exactly!" Kuai Jun nodded, and before the words finished, Liu Biao had already taken a step to go to the carriage, but a servant immediately followed him and put a small stool beside the carriage. After getting into the carriage and opening the door curtain, Liu Biao said with a smile, "Hehe, Zirou, I really want to be lonely!"

In the carriage, I saw a man in his 40s reclining there, looking pale, but it can be seen that he must have been a handsome guy with good looks when he was young, with a crooked mouth and bent left hand, yes, this is Symptoms of cerebral thrombosis, but in this era, where do people know about this disease? They all think that Kuai Liang is suffering from a strange disease. With the technology of that era, it is impossible to dredge the blood vessels, so Kuai Liang also lost He has no good future and can no longer be in charge of his huge family.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Kuai Liang opened his mouth, moving about to kneel down, but Liu Biao actually got into the car himself, but Kuai Liang didn't expect that, Liu Biao immediately said: "Lie down quickly, Zirou can't do it." Like that!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kuai Liang readily accepted Liu Biao's kindness, and lay there again. Liu Biao said, "Zirou, let's go into the city!" Enter the carriage and talk to Kuai Liang.

Liu Biao came to Kuai Liang's side, and said slowly, "Zirou! You are so seriously ill, why did you come all the way to Ancheng!"

"Hey!" Kuai Liang slanted his mouth, made an unknown voice, and said angrily: "Old man, this old man came to see the king's defeat!"

Liu Biao didn't expect Kuai Liang to say such words directly during this meeting. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the carriage. If this was in front of civil and military officials, Liu Biao's face would be dropped to the ground. Liu Biao said in surprise: "Zirou! You...what do you mean! Gu! How come Gu just..."

"Your Majesty!" Kuai Yue's distorted facial features became even more twisted, and he said angrily, "Could it be that what the old man said is wrong?"

The questioning turned out to be in a questioning tone. Liu Biao dared to say that the courtiers under his command, that is, Kuai Liang, dared to talk to him in such a tone, and as for himself, he would only lose his temper with him. He himself is Liu Biao's close friend and confidant, so how could he lose his temper, but Liu still had some embarrassment on the surface, and said in shame, "Zirou, are you here to scold Gu?"

Kuai Liang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Old man, this old man is afraid that there will be no clear-sighted people around the lord, which will mess up the lord's eyes and make the lord make a big mistake!"

"Zi Rou!" Liu Biao was a little excited, and Kuai Liang immediately said, "My lord, do you really want to put the lives of millions of people in Jingzhou at risk? , lost light!"

Liu Biao shook his head, and said in pain, "Gu... Gu is too miserable..."

"Your Majesty, we're here!" Hearing a shout from outside, the two people in the car knew that they had arrived. Liu Biao hurriedly got up and got out of the carriage, and someone came over immediately and carried Kuai Liang out. Four people carried Kuai Liang's family members. After coming out, Kuai Yue was already waiting at the gate of the mansion, and immediately came to Kuai Liang, cupped his hands and said, "See you, brother!"

"Humph!" Kuai Liang snorted coldly, glared at Kuai Yue and said, "You brat who doesn't know what's good or bad, I'll definitely punish you when you get home!"

The eldest brother is like a father, even if Kuai Liang scolds Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue, the person in charge of the power in Jingzhou, dare not fart. He lowered his head and stopped talking. When Liu Biao came over, Liu Biao was a little pale in the sun. Liu Biao's face turned rosy because of Kuai Liang's cynicism and sarcasm towards him, Liu Biao immediately said, "Zirou, come in!"

He sat down, and Kuai Liang's stretcher was placed in front of all the civil and military officials, a little lower than Liu Biao. Liu Biao said anxiously: "Zi Rou, what do you mean by coming from a long way, let's talk about it quickly." , I’m really desperate!”

"My lord!" Kuai Yue said slowly, "My lord, the Youliao army is strong now, and Liu He in the north is even more fierce. Since the Youliao army invaded Nanyang, the people of Jingzhou have panicked. If you are willing to be reduced to the flames of war, I hope your majesty will think twice!"

The hall fell into silence, no one dared to speak, even panted heavily, Kuai Yuezhang lowered his head, not daring to say a word, Liu Biao was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Could it be that Zirou came here to persuade Gu to retreat? ?”

Kuai Liang said earnestly: "Exactly, I think only the old man can persuade the king. I still hope that the people of Jingzhou are the most important thing! Don't use weapons rashly!"

Liu Biao said, "Zi Rou, this... this... I'm so unwilling to be alone!"

Kuai Liang immediately shouted: "Don't you want to wait for Li Yuanjie to kill the city, thinking about whether you will be reconciled! Your Majesty! The strength of the Youliao Army cannot be stopped by your Majesty. If Jingzhou's people are unstable, if civil strife occurs, there is no way to stop it." With the King in charge, what should we do!"

In fact, what Kuai Liang really cares about is the people of Jingzhou. He belongs to the people of Jingzhou. In fact, he belongs to the people of the big family, the people of the powerful family. For these big families, they must have another backer, not himself. The people in the family are also a big tree that can provide shade for themselves. Kuai Liang led the whole family to choose Liu Biao at the beginning. Young and energetic, my younger brother of course knows that some yearn to use violence to control violence. Back then, he used Hongmenyan's ruthless scheme to plot against all the warlords in Jingzhou, but now he has come here with all his strength in Jingzhou. Why did he act so rashly and say it was sending troops He just sent out troops. Although Jingzhou has been doing well in the past few years and has considerable strength, Kuai Liang, who is dedicated to his family, of course knows that war is the most harmful thing to the interests of his family. If it fails, it will be a matter of exterminating the whole family. Like Kuai Yue and Cai Hao, they thought that even if Liu Biao did not go smoothly, he could win a little bit of the chassis and strengthen his strength, but now, even Cao Pi has already seen it. Come out, Liu Biao is not Li Lin's opponent. How can he match him? I know, Liu Biao has seen his own defeat now, but he is still standing firm in Runan, just looking for a step. Although he has no rights, his prestige is beyond anyone's reach, so Kuai Liang decided to delay He came here because of his illness, and asked Liu Biao to take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, quickly withdraw his troops back to Jingzhou, and strike peace with Li Yuanjie.

Of course, Liu Biao couldn't directly agree to Kuai Liang's words. After all, he came here in a hurry, so he couldn't hold back and went back. His face was full of sadness, and Tennessee said, "Hey... Zirou, the world is corrupt, Tianzilong Yun, with a treacherous minister like Li Yuanjie in power, Gu... how can Gu just ignore it!"

"Your Majesty!" Kuai Liang said slowly: "Who doesn't know that Your Majesty is another one who finally has the heart of the first emperor, but now in the Liu family, only His Majesty is the mainstay, how can he be defeated so easily, and now the thief Li Yuanjie is leading the army Strong and upright, the king is unrivaled, let alone show off the bravery of a man. He should do what the ancestors did and continue to fight in Jingzhou. One day Li Yuanjie will become the favorite of heaven. When the situation changes, the king will hold high the imperial flag. It is the best policy to uphold the integrity of my big man!"

After hearing Kuai Liang's words, most of the civil servants below nodded repeatedly, while those militant military officers also lowered their heads. After all, they knew that they really couldn't beat Li Yuanjie's Youliao Army. Even if he wins in the end, he may be dead, and he will not be able to receive that share of merit. To bypass these generals who have long been accustomed to enjoying the blessings in Jingzhou, I feel a little scared in my heart. The ambition is slow, the army is [-], and the soldiers are sent to the Central Plains, but now, they have been driven to Runan by Li Lin, and they have long since become shriveled eggplants, drooping their heads...

There was another burst of silence. Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao with his mouth crooked, but he didn't speak either. Liu Biao was silent for a long time, "Hey..." A long sigh seemed to be desolate and unwilling, but in fact it was helpless. For his own family business, at Liu Biao's age, of course he doesn't have the courage to fight with Li Yuanjie like Cao Cao to decide life and death. People like Cao Cao bet with Li Lin and ended up dying at the hands of Li Lin. What can I do?Although the ambition is there, but the strength is really weak.

"Let's retreat!" Liu Biao said slowly, a little panicked. After seeing Kuai Liang's face recovered, it was a disastrous defeat. It can be seen that Liu Biao made this decision very difficult. Kuai Liang was all after Liu Biao said this sentence. After a long time, he said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Under the city, whether they agreed or disagreed with this decision, of course they all said it with one voice. There is no way. Morale, even if you want Li Yuanjie to attack, so what?
Liu Biao heard the voices of the crowd, covered his face and wept, and said sadly: "Gu, I am ashamed of the first emperor, I am ashamed of the Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, have you seen that it is not that I am unable to do my best, but that I am alone. You are powerless, the late emperor, if you have eyes in the sky, you will definitely let Li Yuanjie get the retribution he deserves! Give me a big man and the world is clear!"
