Chapter 310 Using a small talent to make Liu Jingsheng great

Cai Mao was about to break the casserole and ask the question, but Kuai Yue held his sleeve and invited him: "We are whispering here. It will not be good if it reaches the lord's ears. I have some wine at home today. De Gui will go back with me."

Have a drink?"

"That's fine."

Cai Mao looked around and saw that there were guard servants walking not far away. It was really inappropriate to talk too much to Kuai Yue, and then the two of them left the Prefectural Mufu Mansion together.

Kuai Yue led Cai Mao to the study room at home. The two of them sat facing each other with their drinking utensils in hand. After a few drinks, Cai Mao asked impatiently: "I've also drank wine. When will Yidu reveal your clever plan?"

"Don't lose your composure." Kuai Yue put down his drinking utensils, stroked his beard and said slowly: "The people in Wancheng have been evacuated, and only a few of Western Hubei have just been conquered. Liu Bei has no soldiers and people under his rule, and we have to face him directly.

Intimidation to Cao Cao

Isn't it easier to control the threat than being left in Lingling? Although the chaos in Jingnan has been put down, small-scale rebellions occur from time to time in various places. Since Liu Bei is a vassal who defected to Jingzhou, can't Brother Degui transfer him to quell the rebellion?"

"Tell Liu Bei to suppress the rebellion? My brother-in-law is acting so abnormally today. I'm worried that he may not agree."

Cai Mao guessed that Kuai Yue wanted to trick Liu Bei, but he was worried that Liu Biao would not agree, so he hesitated in his words.

Kuai Yue smiled slightly: "My lord left Liu Bei behind, first for the people and second for profit. As long as De Gui plans well, Liu Bei will be able to run around. Do you think how many of his more than 10,000 troops will be left after helping Jingzhou quell the rebellion?

"

"There are not enough people in Western Hubei in Wancheng. Liu Bei has no place to recruit new soldiers, and his existing troops are getting smaller and smaller as he fights."

Cai Mao slowly told Kuai Yue's intention, then pointed at him and said happily: "Xidu Guo is a thoughtful wise man, so Liu Bei will not be afraid, and let him replace Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. He could not mobilize Zhang Xiu before, but Liu Bei

He calls his brother-in-law a brother-in-law, and even threatens to help his brother-in-law support the Han Dynasty, which is exactly what I can use."

Kuai Yue nodded and asked again: "Does Degui know why I mentioned Wancheng and Xi'e counties at the same time?"

"Why?" Cai Mao was puzzled.

Kuai Yue explained: "One more county requires more energy. We won't let Liu Bei's subordinates idle, nor will we let his civil servants idle. I feel that two counties are missing."

"Anyway, when Cao Sikong comes, the northern counties will not be able to defend themselves. Why not give him a few more counties?" Cai Mao's thoughts were opened and he became bolder in his speech.

"It's not enough to give too many troops. Liu Bei can always gather some troops." Kuai Yue's eyes suddenly lit up when he was thinking, and then he smiled and said: "In addition to Wancheng and Xi'e, let's just send Pheasant County, Luyang, Ji County, Duyang, and Bo

Wang, Ye County, all were placed under Liu Bei's rule."

After hearing this, Cai Mao swallowed hard and said to himself that except for Wancheng and the two counties in Xi'e, the other six counties were subordinate to Nanyang, but were actually controlled by Cao Cao. Kuai Yue was a model for Liu Bei.

While Cai Mao was thinking, Kuai Yue continued to add: "I heard that Guan Yun was both wise and brave. If Liu Bei sent him to quell the rebellion in Jingzhou, it would not necessarily weaken Liu Bei's strength. If eight counties in the north of Nanyang were set aside, Guan Yu would be elected as the capital of the north of Nanyang.

Lieutenant, wouldn’t he have trapped his most important general?”

"Alien means"

"If Guan Yu wants to conquer those six counties, he must use Liu Bei's troops and horses. If De Gui mobilizes Liu Bei to put down the rebellion at the same time, how can the more than 10,000 troops be preserved? By then, as long as Cao Sikong exerts a little force, how can Liu Bei have the power to fight back?"

"Wonderful."

Cai Mao jumped up happily and said excitedly: "Liu Bei wants to support the Han Dynasty on behalf of his brother-in-law. There is no reason for him to refuse. Tomorrow, Yidu will propose."

"Then it's settled."

There are a total of thirty-seven counties in Nanyang, and Liu Biao designated eight without any heartache. In particular, six counties were controlled by Cao Cao, which also demonstrated his generosity as a state shepherd.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news. He thought he would get a county to settle down in, but he didn't expect that brother Jing Sheng was too generous. Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Han Song in the palace all congratulated him.

From the eyes and expressions of everyone, Liu Bei could see that they sincerely congratulated them, but Liu Ye knew that Cai Mao and others had no good intentions.

After Liu Biao announced his decision, he encouraged Liu Bei: "Those six counties were originally subordinate to Nanyang, but now they succumb to Cao Cao's military power and do not obey the jurisdiction of the county. After Yunchang takes office, he can slowly plan for it. If he can really get back the land of Jingzhou,

I may follow what Cao Cao did to Li Tong and recommend him as the county governor based on his merits."

"Thank you for your support, brother. I will tell you to my second brother." Liu Bei clasped his fists and nodded, remembering Liu Biao's painting.

In order to stabilize the situation in Runan, Cao Cao initially separated several counties in Yang'an and made Li Tong the captain, and later he directly served as the prefect of Runan.

Nanyang County was dominated by Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu. At this time, there was no formal governor under Jingzhou. Nanyang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, was currently managed by Xiangyang, so Liu Biao's promise seemed very real.

Liu Biao nodded slightly, then stroked his beard and added: "I will draft the memorial and report it to the emperor as soon as possible. When will Xuande's memorial be drafted? Do you want to send someone to send it together?"

Liu Bei quickly took out the memorial from his arms, handed it to Liu Biao with both hands, and said: "Bei prepared it last night. Brother, please send it to Xudu together."

"Very well. Xuande is indeed resolute and resolute."

When Liu Biao got the memorial, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He immediately called Wen Pin forward and told him: "The weather has gradually turned cold. From Huyang to Wancheng, there is a waterway in Western Hubei. Please go and mobilize a few people."

Hundreds of large ships will be used to coordinate Xuande's migration."

"Wei." Wenpin responded with clasped fists.

Liu Biao pointed at Wenpin and introduced to Liu Bei: "The last time General Wen went to Huyang to work for the army, Xuande seemed to have a connection. Did you know that his hometown is Wancheng? If you have any doubts when you get there, just ask him."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, turned around and saluted Wenpin: "Then there is General Lao Wen."

"Uncle, there is no need to be polite. Wen must know everything and tell him everything." Wen Pin cupped his fists and returned the greeting humbly.

Liu Biao "took money to do things" and provided "transportation services", which was so considerate that even Liu Bei was surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Biao sent Liu Bei outside the house, held hands and told him: "Xuan De goes to Wancheng to garrison with peace of mind. You don't have to be afraid of Cao Cao's threat of sending troops. My brother also has a hundred thousand people in Jingzhou."

"I must take back the six northern counties as soon as possible and live up to my brother's expectations of me."

Liu Biao quickly interrupted Liu Bei's assurance, patted the back of his hand gently, and said seriously: "Xuande doesn't have to act too hastily. Cao Cao is too powerful to succeed, so he can only wait for the opportunity before attacking."

"Uh, okay." Liu Bei nodded lightly.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou, Liu Biao once offended Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and had a grudge against the Sun family for killing his father in the east. Jingnan was often harassed by Zhang Jin in Jiaozhou, and it was adjacent to the powerful Cao Cao in the north.

It can be said that troops must be deployed in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Jingzhou to defend. Once they are dispersed, the troops will be stretched thin. Therefore, Liu Biao does not want Liu Bei to stir up trouble. He is worried that while Cao Cao goes south, the other three groups will use troops against Jingzhou at the same time. Such consequences are unacceptable.

.

Liu Biao's plan was to wait for Yuan Cao to start the war, and then use a small number of troops to encroach on the six counties. This was the most consistent with his mentality of being small and powerful.
