"What's the point of worrying about some tricks?" Zhuge Liang, who was standing beside him, said with a faint smile. Yesterday, Sun Gan had been taken back to Danyang by a ship secretly sent by Gan Ning, but Zhuge Liang stayed in Jiangling. He hoped to help the Kuai brothers survive the crisis.

Everyone in the hall looked at Zhuge Liang with surprise eyes, and Liu Xian and others had a look of distrust.

"What is Kong Ming's trick?" Kuai Yue, who was very familiar with Zhuge Liang's talent, had a lit eyes and asked anxiously.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and analyzed calmly, "It has only been less than a month since Mr. Jingsheng was assassinated, and it is more than a thousand miles to get to Xuchang! Why did the imperial edict that the second prince was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou so quickly arrived in Jingzhou?"

"Yeah~~?" Kuai Liang frowned for a moment and nodded in understanding.

"What's more, it's still the mourning period for Mr. Jingsheng. Even if an angel comes to Jingzhou, it should be a matter of mourning." Zhuge Liang continued.

"Kong Ming means... Cai Mao is forged this imperial edict?" Kuai Yue said.

"There is this possibility..." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Of course in Xiangyang, after the debate between Master Yidu, the fact that Cai Mao forged inheritance documents was obvious. Cai Mao abolished the eldest son and established the young man for his own selfishness, which was like usurping the rebellion.

Although he barely suppressed the situation by relying on force, he could not truly bring back the people of Jingzhou. Once the war is slightly unfavorable, he will be the target of public criticism. In this case, if Cai Mao wants to reverse the situation, he must first correct his reputation.

The best way to grant the second prince the new governor of Jingzhou is to be the best way. Therefore, he is very likely to forge an imperial edict, one can stabilize the hearts of the people, and the other can also attack you, Mr. Qi and Lord Zirou!"

"No matter how brave Cai Mao is, how dare he forge the imperial edict?" Liu Xian, the prefect of Nanjun, shook his head. He retorted in disbelief, "Besides, if others want to observe the imperial edict, what will Cai Mao take out?"

"Cai Mao's courage can be seen in the night of Xiangyang!" Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and replied calmly, "As for the imperial edict, Liang's opinion. As long as Cai Mao wants it, Cao Cao will definitely give it to him.

Cai Mao only needs to submit a message to Xuchang. In a short while, Cao Cao will order people to send him here quickly!"

"The rebellion in Jingzhou is exactly what Cao Cao wants. With Cao Cao's treacherous and sloppy, he will not miss the opportunity to make Jingzhou more chaotic!" Kuai Liang stroked his long beard slightly and said in a deep voice.

"In addition, there is another possibility..." Zhuge Liang continued in harmony. "It was the emperor's mourning envoy who rushed to Xiangyang and found out that Jingzhou was in turmoil, so he took the initiative to propose to Cai Mao to enfeoff the second prince.

But no matter what, it would be difficult to accomplish if Cai Mao and Cao Cao had not colluded with each other!”

"What good strategies does Mr. Kong Ming have?" Liu Qi was anxious to know what solutions Zhuge Liang had. Liu Qi was in his early 20s. He was born with a handsome appearance, but his whole body was too weak.

"As long as you know that Cai Mao and Cao Cao colluded with each other, it is actually not difficult to resolve this trick!" Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Kong Ming's meaning. I already understand!" Kuai Yue said with a high-high, "You can do everything you can to resolve the current difficulties when the assassination of the governor of the state (Liu Biao) is assassinated."

Kuai Liang had already understood Zhuge Liang's meaning and nodded slightly to say yes, but the others were still confused.

"The mastermind of Xianzhou's assassination was still unknown, but the biggest suspect is Cao Cao. Cao Cao has always been taboo to our Jingzhou, and everyone knows the intention of the plot. Now you can use this..." Kuai Yue's eyes ejaculated and said excitedly.

"We can only order people to spread the news to the counties and counties of Jingzhou that the governor of Daoxianzhou was colluded with Cai Mao and Cao Cao to plot against him. These two bandits planned to murder the governor of Xianzhou, and then the emperor ordered the emperor to make the governor of Jingzhou, in order to seize the power of Jingzhou.

In this way, even if there is an imperial edict, it will become a forgery of Cai and Cao who covet the power of Jingzhou, and it is not convincing at all!"

"What Lord Yidu said!" Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile, "and this 'impartial edict' that arrived so quickly became evidence that Cai Mao and Cao Cao colluded with each other to murder Mr. Jing Sheng!"

"Wonderful!" Kuai Yue said with a high-high again. "The governor of the Xianzhou governor guarded Jingzhou for more than ten years, and his kindness spread to the nine counties of Jingxiang. If he knew Cai Mao, Cao Cao would be the mastermind of assassination. How could any military and civilians be willing to surrender to him?"

"Lord, Kong Ming's strategy is indeed wonderful. If it is implemented smoothly, it is very likely to reverse the current passive situation!" Kuai Liang stepped out and reported to Liu Qi.

"Since that's the case, act according to this strategy!" Liu Qi looked happy and nodded immediately. Then he turned to Zhuge Liang and said, "Mr. Kongming, I hope you and Zi Rou will share this strategy with each other!"

"I wish to do my best to the governor of the state!" Zhuge Liang bowed and replied.

At this point, Liu Xian and others had to look up to Zhuge Liang, a young man who always smiled.

.

After the dispersal discussion, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue discussed carefully with Zhuge Liang, sent a large number of them out of the city and went to various counties under Jingzhou to spread rumors that "Cai Mao and Cao Cao colluded to assassinate Liu Biao in order to win Jingzhou."

However, before the Kuai brothers had time to breathe a sigh of relief, another bad news came - Shangyong Ma Chao was invited by Cai Mao and went out to Xiliang to attack Nanjun with more than 10,000 cavalry. At present, the troops have reached Dangyang.

A year ago, Ma Chao's Iron Cavalry swept across the Yong and Si prefectures and killed the arrogant Cao army to the point of falling water. At its peak, the troops had already reached Hulao Pass. As long as they broke through Hulao, Xuchang would be in their hands.

But it was a pity that Han Sui's counterattack made Ma Chao's hope of completely defeating Cao Cao. Although Ma Chao was finally defeated and fled to Shangyong under the attack of Cao and South Korea's Allied Forces, the casualties of Cao and South Korea's Allied Forces reached more than 100,000.

That battle completely defeated Ma Chao's majesty, and everyone in the world heard the name of "Xiliang Jinma Chao".

Now this iron cavalry that once swept across Yongsi has also intervened in the battle in Jingzhou, and it is still the hostile side.

.

"Ma Chao is brave and famous, how can he resist?" Liu Qi said in panic. Unfavorable news came one after another, as if endless, making Liu Qi feel worried.

"Don't worry, lord, although Ma Chao Xiliang Iron Cavalry is brave, he is not good at siegeing the city. He just needs to defend the city to death, and he doesn't know how he can do nothing!" Kuai Liang comforted Liu Qi in harmony. Although Kuai Liang comforted Liu Qi so much, he was actually quite heavy.

Kuai Liang visited Zhang Xiu, who was guarding Wancheng many times. He had seen the power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and knew that 10,000 Iron Cavalry in the field was more than enough to reach 50,000 infantry. Ma Chao's intervention in the Jingzhou war was so difficult to estimate.

These more than 10,000 cavalry only need to patrol outside Jiangling City and cooperate with Huang Zu's navy. At that time, whether the defenders in the city break through or external troops rescue Jiangling will become an impossible task.

“Master.

The rebels are becoming increasingly powerful, and we have no reinforcements for the time being, so it is difficult to maintain the long term of defending Jiangling..." Liu Xian said with a little hesitation, "For the sake of the present, it is best to try to cross the river to the south and join Gongquan (Liu Pan)!" It was Liu Xian's proposal to defend Nanjun, but the subsequent deterioration of the situation was much beyond his expectations.

Now Liu Xian himself is also pessimistic about how many days Jiangling can hold on.

"How can the rebel Huang Zu lead the navy to cross the river?" Liu Qi sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Although we have no navy army that can match Huang Zu. But we can ask for help from other places..." Liu Xian suggested.

"Where?" Liu Qi couldn't feel sorry for it for a while and asked anxiously.

Kuai Liang opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent. A hint of joy flashed in Zhuge Liang's calm and wise eyes.

"The uncle of the lord, Liu Xuande, General of the Conquest South!" Liu Xian replied anxiously, "The navy under Uncle Liu is powerful. Even the navy of the Sun family is no match for it.

If the lord can ask Uncle Liu to send out a navy army to help, why worry that the thief Huang Zu would not give up his way!”

"If I don't say it, I have almost forgotten Uncle Xuande." Liu Qi slapped the table and said happily.

"Uncle Xuande is anxious about the emperor's favor of righteousness, and benevolence is spread throughout the world, and the generals under his command are like clouds. If he can get help from his uncle, what should he worry about Cai Mao and Huang Zu and others!"

Kuai Liang sighed silently and shook his head secretly. In fact, with Kuai Liang's wisdom, how could he have thought of asking for help from Liu Bei? He deliberately did not mention Liu Bei. Although he disagrees with Cai Mao on most issues.

But Cai Mao had a saying, Kuai Liang agreed with it quite well————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

When capturing the three counties including Yuzhang, Kuai Liang led his army to fight with Zhang Fei, two giants of Liu Bei's army. At that time, he fully witnessed the strong combat power of Liu Bei's army. If he could use Liu Bei's army to fight, it would be extremely beneficial to suppress the rebellion.

But Kuai Liang was worried that it was easy to invite the gods, but it was difficult to send the gods. Liu Bei was very good at bewitching people's hearts, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were all peerless generals who were the best in the three armies. In addition, young talents like Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong helped.

If Liu Bei's army is really invited to Jingzhou to help the war, it is probably hard to say the ownership of Jingzhou in the future.

Because of this, Kuai Liangcai and Kuai Yue, Liu Xian and others discussed not to ask for help from Liu Qi in front of Liu Qi. Kuai Liang hoped to use the internal strength of Jingzhou to resolve the rebellion. But unfortunately, the development of the situation made his hopes fail.

"I'll write a letter!" Liu Qi turned to Kuai Liang and said to Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Zirou, Mr. Kong Ming, I hope you two can try to send the letter to Uncle Xuande!"

"Dare you not obeying?" Zhuge Liang responded with a smile.

"Yes!" Kuai Liang took the order helplessly.

.

After walking out of the temporary provincial governor's mansion side by side with Zhuge Liang, Kuai Liang wrapped the fur cloak tightly to protect the wind and cold. But after a gust of cold wind blew, Kuai Liang still couldn't help but cough violently.

"Mr. Zirou, is your health okay?" Zhuge Liang asked with concern.

"Cough..." After a while, the cough subsided, but Kuai Liang's face showed a strange flushing color. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm old and my body is not as good as usual." Recently, Kuai Liang has always felt weak in his body.

"Mr. Zirou, you worked hard day and night for Jingzhou, and your health was greatly damaged. After the Jingzhou war sank, you should rest for a while!" Zhuge Liang carefully observed Kuai Liang for a moment and suggested sincerely.

"If you and Shi Yuan were staying in Jingzhou, why would I have to work so hard..." Kuai Liang turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and said seriously as if he was joking and serious, "Kong Ming, how about returning to Jingzhou? I am older and physically worse. As long as you are willing to come back, my position as a different person is yours!"

Zhuge Liang smiled but said nothing, but there was no sign of intention on his face.

"Huh~~!" Kuai Liang sighed lightly and said sadly, "I really don't know why Liu Bei is so attractive? You and Shi Yuan are both talents in the world that have emerged in Jingzhou every 100 years, and they are actually useful to him."

"Kong Ming!" Kuai Liang suddenly stopped and said to Zhuge Liang seriously, "If there really is that day in the future, please take care of Mr. Qi more in front of Uncle Liu, and do not let the incense in Jingsheng Gong be cut off!"

Hearing what Kuai Liang's words were implying, Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly with a complicated expression!

…………………………………………….

Moling, the inner hall of the county magistrate's office

"...Kong Ming stayed in Jiangling in hopes to pave the way for the lord to enter Jingzhou in the future!" Sun Qian, who had just been escorted to Moling by Ding Feng himself, introduced the situation in Jiangling to me, and explained the reason why Zhuge Liang did not return with him.

Although Huang Zu blocked the Yangtze River from the area from Chaisang to Jiangling with the Jingzhou navy, there were all loopholes in Gan Ning, who regarded the rivers in the south and south of the Yangtze River as his backyard.

Without disturbing Huang Zu at all, Gan Ning took Sun Qian back.

"Haha..." Pang Tong approached his hands a little closer to the brazier and laughed, "Even Kong Ming wants to do it, it can be seen that the terrain of Jingzhou is already quite critical.

If the lord doesn't take it, it's very likely that Cao Cao or Ma Chao would be cheap! Fortunately, Cao Cao is currently bound by the war in northern Xinjiang, otherwise he would not have missed such an opportunity!"

"If you want to send troops to Jingzhou, you can do it anytime..." I touched the thorn beard under my chin and said with a smile, "But the problem is that our side and Jingzhou are still in alliance, and they are unauthorized to advance to the territory of allies, and are disrespectful.

Moreover, my brother has not yet given any instructions on how to deal with the civil war in Jingzhou!"

"There should be no problem with the lord!" Pang Tong retracted his hand and rubbed it hard. "At present, I only have a place to send troops. I hope Kong Ming can handle this matter as soon as possible!"

.

The next day, my eldest brother's envoy arrived in Moling and only brought me 8 words————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After seeing this letter with only eight characters, Pang Tong immediately burst into laughter, and his laughter was extremely refreshing.

.

On December 18, the seventh year of Jian'an, Gan Ning personally sent a letter of help from Liu Qi, who asked his elder brother to send troops to help him fight against the rebellion.

Liu Qi's most urgent request was to hope that the Jinfan Navy would expel Huang Zu's navy so that he could cross the river and move south, and then regroup in Jingnan and counterattack Cai Mao.

After seeing this letter of help, Pang Tong laughed loudly and shouted, "The master is famous!"

The first thing I did was to order people to send this letter to Shouchun with 600 miles in a hurry, and the second thing was to order Gan Ning to lead the entire Jinfan Navy Army to relieve Liu Qi's difficulties.

Before leaving, I only explained the four words Gan Ning————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
