Three Kingdoms: Divine Choice

Outside the residence, Su Yan looked grim, waved his hand, and ordered the soldiers to set fire to the house.

Soon, a fire broke out in the house, bursting into the sky and crackling.

Su Yan and Lv Bu's group quietly disappeared into the night.

.............

In the hot summer of July, the heat makes people panic, but the morning is very cool.

Liu Biao got up early to wash, ate breakfast, and immediately sent someone to invite Kuang Yue, Quang Liang, and Cai Yao.

He can gain a foothold in Jingzhou, the Quang brothers and Cai Yao are the people who have contributed the most, and these three are also Jingxiang Junjie, and their family is also a large family of the first rank in the nine counties of Jingxiang, and the three are Liu Biao's right hand in governing Jingzhou.

In the study, Liu Biao wore a loose robe and sat casually.

Below Liu Biao, there were also three people, Qualiang, Kuang Yue and Cai Yao.

Liu Biao's gaze swept over Qualiang, Kuang Yue, and Cai Yao solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "I invited you here early this morning because there is an important matter to discuss. "

"Last night, Liu Bei sent an envoy Jian Yong to Xiangyang and asked me to increase troops on the Nanyang border to contain Yuan Shu and stabilize the situation in Runan, I haven't promised you any opinion for the time being?"

Kuang Liang didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Lord I am against it!"

"Reason?"

Liu Biao said.

Qualiang replied unhurriedly: "The hatred between Liu Bei and Su Yan is well known, these two people are clearly needles against Mai Mang, and it is impossible to reconcile. "

"The lord wants to befriend Su Yan and Liu Bei, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, and it will be difficult for both sides to make good friends. The matter of Nanyang County is enough to see Su Yan's character. "

"This person acts decisively, his methods are tough and domineering, and he is not an easy person. "

"Yuan Shu wanted to capture Su Yan, and the counties of Yun and Fu under his command were captured, losing face, and the soldiers under his command suffered heavy losses. Su Yan entered Nanyang from Runan County, and Yuan Shu avoided him like a plague, not daring to provoke him again. "

"Liu Bei's ambush of Su Yan was also a loss of soldiers, causing Ru Nan to fall into today's situation. "

"To put it simply, Su Yan is a person who does not take revenge overnight. "

"He is still a guest in Xiangyang, but we want to show favor to Liu Bei, which is likely to offend Su Yan. "

"In the end, Liu Bei is only the taishou of Runan County, but Su Yan is a general of the Che Horse, a pastor of Jizhou, and his forces control the three prefectures. The disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, and the help to us is not the same. "

"Runan County can enter Yingchuan and Luoyang to the north, and Jingxiang and Yangzhou to the south, which is a place that runs through the north and south, a place of four battles, and must be contested by the princes. "

Liu Bei stayed in Runan temporarily, but it was difficult to develop, and sooner or later he would be annexed by the surrounding princes. "

On the other hand, Su Yan's situation was great, he was temporarily trapped in Chang'an, but his series of actions in Chang'an were mixed up and famous all over the world. "

"Even Dong Zhuo does not dare to easily disadvantage Su Yan, let alone dance well, coaxing Dong Zhuo around, and returning to Hebei is a matter of time. "

Qualiang looked serious and said in a deep voice: "In the past, the three forces of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan surrounded Su Yan, but they were still defeated by him, Wuhuan was driven back to the grassland, Yuan was destroyed, and Gongsun Zan is now also about to be destroyed." "

"From this, we can think about how strong Su Yan's ability and strength are, we are not suitable to offend him at all, please think twice before acting, don't lose the big because of the small." "

With these words, Liu Biao frowned.

Liu Biao wanted to support Liu Bei before, but after listening to Kuang Liang's words, he suddenly felt that things were difficult.

Cai Yao's eyes rolled, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said with a smile: "Zirou's analysis has some truth, but I think it is more beneficial for Jingzhou to befriend Liu Bei." "

Liu Biao's gaze fell on Cai Yao, and his eyes were expectant: "What does De Jue think?"

Cai Yao said slowly: "Su Yan's strength is strong, this is correct. If we talk about the size of our strength, befriending him is naturally more valuable than giving grace to Liu Bei. "

"But please don't forget the fact that Su Yan's foundation is in Hebei and Liu Bei's foundation is in Runan, which of the two will help Jingzhou more?"

"Obviously, Ru Nan has helped Jingzhou even more. "

"Jingzhou and Hebei are thousands of miles apart, and the two prefectures of Yuzhou and Yanzhou exist in between, how can it help us? "

"Zirou said that Ru Nan is the land of four battles, and I agree with this. "

"But it is precisely because Runan is the land of four battles that it is even more necessary to support Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei gained a foothold in Runan, then he could not only contain Yuan Shu's power, but also act as a barrier to the northeast of Jingzhou to resist the power of Yanzhou Cao Cao. "

In addition, Liu Bei contained Yuan Shu's power, and Yuan Shu could not expand his power, so he could only obediently become a barrier to the north of Jingzhou to resist Dong Zhuo. "

"As for Yangzhou's Liu Yi and the Lord Duke are both Han clansmen, the two sides will not attack each other. "

In this way, Jingzhou's position is as stable as Mount Tai. "

"On the other hand, what is the benefit of befriending Su Yan, befriending him is not good for us, but will lead to Liu Bei in Runan's trouble. "

"Once Liu Bei's army is defeated, both Yuan Shu and Cao Cao may take the opportunity to enter Runan, and Jingzhou will be threatened by then, and Liu Bei is an extremely important pawn that must be stayed. "

Cai Yao's tone was resolute and affirmative: "Liu Bei's chess piece is alive and the whole chess game of Jingzhou is alive, without Liu Bei's chess game, it will be in trouble, I propose to support Liu Bei." "

When Liu Biao heard it, he felt that Cai Yao's analysis was also correct.

In fact, Liu Bei's existence was indeed very beneficial to Jingzhou.

Kuang Yue thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I don't agree with De Jue's suggestion, I suggest befriending Su Yan." "

Liu Biao's gaze fell on Kuang Yue again, and he asked again: "What do you think about the different degree?"

The more thorough the analysis, the clearer Liu Biao can see.

Kuang Yue looked calm and said lightly: "In the short term, Shi En Liu Bei is conducive to the stability of Jingzhou's position, but in the long run, this is not a wise choice. "

"The Lord has worked hard to rule Jingzhou and restore stability, and with today's good situation, for the long-term development of Jingzhou, things should be considered with long-term considerations as the criterion." "

"I agree with my brother and Dejie's opinion about Runan. "

"The land of the four battles in Runan, this place is indeed good as a barrier to the northeast of Jingzhou, but can it really be used as a barrier in Jingzhou for a long time?"

Cao Cao did not allow the existence of Liu Bei in Runan, and Yuan Shu did not allow Liu Bei to exist... I think Liu Bei will be defeated sooner or later, and it is impossible to stay in Runan for a long time. "

"Once Runan is breached, Jingzhou will face pressure from Cao Cao or Yuan Shu. "

"How to resist then?"

"We are not afraid of Yuan Shu or Cao Cao against Jingzhou on our own, but I think there is a better way than our own strength. That is to befriend Su Yan. "

"Su Yan occupies Hebei and Yanzhou is only one river away, as long as he befriends Cao Cao Xing troops to attack Jingzhou, he will become our foreign aid. "_
