Reborn Duke In Three Kingdoms

Prefecture, study.

Liu biaotan sat in his study with a dignified face.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Yi Ji sat in the study with a solemn look.

Liu Biao's eyes were deep. He glanced at the three people and said slowly: "the edict issued by Cao Cao said that when the emperor was thirty-six years old, because he was busy with the Northern War, he had no time to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Now that Bingzhou has been pacified, Cao Cao wants to celebrate the emperor's birthday and ask my official to send someone to celebrate his birthday. This is a strange situation. "

Cai Mao nodded and said, "my Lord is wise. The name of Cao thief is Zhu Shou. I'm sure you don't want to do that."

"What is the reason?" Liu Biao asked

Cai Mao replied: "Lord, I guess it's Cao Cao who wants to send troops to the south?"

Liu Biao's face darkened when he heard the speech and said: "Jingzhou has hundreds of thousands of soldiers with armour. They are well equipped. Why are they afraid of Cao thieves? Even if the thief Cao sent troops to the south, I would not be afraid. "

Kuai Yue nodded gently and said: "Lord, although the northern part of the country is stable, Bingzhou and Youzhou are still unstable, and there are great hidden dangers. I think that in a short time, Cao thief should not go south. Moreover, Cao Jun, who was stationed in Nanyang, has not moved. I believe that it is not the intention of Cao thief to go south to celebrate the emperor's birthday. "

"What is that?" Liu Biao asked.

It is absolutely impossible to wish a birthday.

Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes. The emperor was in Cao Cao's hands, like a puppet. Although Cao Cao looked up to the emperor on the surface, he never paid attention to him and could not celebrate his birthday.

More importantly, the time for the birthday is over.

Emperor Liu Xie celebrated his birthday in April. Now it's July, and Cao Cao just remembered to celebrate his birthday.

There must be something fishy about it.

Kuai Yue was silent when he heard the speech.

Yi Ji sat upright with a dignified expression. Not to mention Cao Cao in the north, Jingzhou is a peaceful place, singing and dancing, everyone is happy and comfortable, there is no war, there is no fight.

When Cao Cao was mentioned, he felt that a sharp sword was hanging on his head and might fall down at any time.

The study is quiet.

The atmosphere is even more oppressive.

All of a sudden, Kuai Yue's eyes lit up and said, "Lord, I think that thief Cao may have such a mind."

"What's the point?"

In Liu Biao's eyes, what he fears most is not knowing, but not knowing.

A thing is all unknown, no clue, Liu Biao can't start. As long as the purpose of Cao Cao is analyzed, there is room for operation.

Yi Ji and Cai Mao also looked at Kuai Yue.

Their eyes also showed a look of expectation.

Kuai Yue explained: "in the name of Cao thief, he invited people not only from Jingzhou, but also from Jiangdong, Xiliang and Yizhou."

"I believe that Cao thief deliberately wanted to show off his power after he pacified Bingzhou, so as to publicize his power and then frighten the world."

"Imagine that the envoys from Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Yizhou and other places went to Xu county to celebrate their birthday. When they found out that Cao thief was powerful, they would be afraid. When they return to their respective places, they will definitely report the truth. "

"In this way, the pressure on local officials will be increased virtually."

The more Kuai Yue said, the more sure he was. He continued: "maybe there is another possibility."

"Jingzhou connects the north and the south, and its strategic position is quite important."

"The reason why the thief Cao congratulated the emperor's birthday was that he wanted to pave the way for his future going south. On the one hand, the Cao bandits are showing off their force; on the other hand, they are trying to intimidate Jingzhou. "

"Despicable and bold speculation, Cao thief to pressure."

"Although the thief Cao did not send troops for the time being, his majesty could be conveyed to Jingzhou by means of birthday celebrations."

Kuai Yue affirmed: "in the final analysis, no matter what the purpose of the Cao thief is or who he hired, the Cao thief is going to demonstrate and show off his force."

After pondering carefully, Cai Mao nodded his head and said, "I think the analysis of different degrees is reasonable. The intention of the thief Cao is probably to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and to threaten the Lord. "

After careful speculation, Yi Ji couldn't think of any other reasons.

Only Kuai Yue's analysis is the most reasonable, which is also the reason for Cao Cao's birthday to the emperor.

Yi Ji said: "Lord, the intention of Cao thief has been analyzed. Now, we have to send people to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. If we don't send people to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, I'm afraid we can't

Liu Biao said: "I'm a relative of the Han Dynasty, but I can't say it if I don't send someone to the emperor's birthday."

Cai Mao then said, "if you want to select officials, you can't send too many officials, and you have to be careful. Otherwise, once there is another official like Han song, it will be bad for the Lord. "

Han song, with the name of Degao, was born in Yiyang.

When Zhang Jiao led the rebellion, Han Song fled to the south. After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, Han song became Liu Biao's farewell driver, and later turned to Zhonglang.

At that time, Liu Biao sent Han song to Xu county to see Cao Cao and inquire about Cao Cao's reality.Han Song went to Xu county for a visit. After returning to Xiangyang, he praised Cao Cao's talent. He described Cao Cao as the master of the Ming Dynasty and suggested that Liu Biao send his children to Xu county as hostages.

After listening to Liu Biao, he was furious on the spot and wanted to kill Han song.

Simply, Kuai Yue pleads and sends Han song to prison.

When Han Song faced the situation of being beheaded at any time, he let people bribe CAI and let Cai blow pillow wind in Liu Biao's ear. In this way, Han Song saved his life, but he was locked up all the time.

Referring to Han song, Liu Biao's face became gloomy.

Liu Biao said in a deep voice: "this time I'm going to celebrate my birthday, there must be no such situation as Han song."

As soon as Cai Mao's eyes turned, he suddenly had an idea in his mind and said with a smile, "my Lord, I have an immature idea about the candidate who is going to Xu county to celebrate his birthday."

"Who do you think is suitable?" Liu Biao asked

Cai Mao replied, "Lord pound is the most suitable."

Liu Biao's sword eyebrows picked, and his eyes showed a look of doubt.

He was a hermit and did not become an official. But how did Lord pound become the most suitable person? Besides, it is not easy to persuade pound to go to Xu county.

Kuai Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. As soon as he changed his mind, he understood the trick.

Cai Mao's move is intended to transfer Pang Degong away from the mountain and make Liu Xiu lose his support. Without the protection of Lord pound, Liu Xiu lost his biggest support.

In Yi Ji's eyes, the essence of CAI Mao's mind was also shining.

However, neither of them did.

Cai Mao said with a smile: "first, on the birthday of the emperor, someone must go. If the Lord doesn't send someone, he can't. When Pang Degong went, he gave Cao Cao face and made Cao Cao speechless. "

"Second, pound is a hermit, not a man in officialdom. When he went to the north, even if Cao Cao showed off his force, pound would not preach anything when he came back to Xiangyang. If Pang Degong is not in the officialdom, he will not affect Jingzhou officials. "

"Thirdly, Pang Degong is a famous scholar in Jingzhou. It is also a shame for Cao Cao to let the famous scholar in Jingzhou go to celebrate his birthday."

"Fourth, Pang Degong is from Jingzhou. When he goes to the north, he will not stay in Xu county. He will definitely come back. Pang Degong is flexible and resourceful. After he went to Xuxian County, if he was made difficult by Cao Cao, he would fight for reasons and not lose Jingzhou's reputation. Otherwise, where is the face of Lord pound? "

Cai Mao counted four advantages and said: "I think that this birthday, Lord pound is the most suitable person."

After listening to Liu Biao, he was moved.

Kuai Yue's mind turned and he wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't open his mouth. When it comes to birthday celebrations, it's not good for the Kuai family.

Liu Biao pondered for a long time, and said: "De Li, when you come to lumen mountain, tell Pang Degong the situation. Remember, we must be emotional and reasonable, not imperative. Pang Gong is a hermit. I can't order him. "

Cai Mao was overjoyed and said, "don't worry, my Lord. I will finish my task."

Then, after discussing other matters, Cai Mao withdrew from the prefecture.
