The 265th chapter who calculates who (2)
Sun Ce's letter was quickly released, and Zhang Zhao was also ordered by Sun Ce to start the affairs of Danyang County. Lu Su was involved because of Sun Quan, which forced Lu Su to give up his position as the prefect of Wuhu and run to Jianye to temporarily take over Zhang Zhao's position.
The fastest letters of Sun Ce arrived at the hands of Sun Ce’s current mortal enemy Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Liu Biao's face in Xiangyang was very strange. After fighting with the Jiangdong Navy for so many years, this was the first time Sun Ce sent an envoy to send this letter. Since Sun Jian died in Liu Biao's hands, the two lords have never had any contacts, except for the time when Huang Zu exchanged Sun Jian's body. They were just exchanges on the battlefield. Now Sun Ce actually sent people in front of the formation and handed a letter to Wen Pinjun, which was the letter in front of him.
"Tell me! What do you want to do when Sun Ce's letter comes!" Liu Biao circulated the documents to the various literati and military generals sitting down.
"Lord, I think this plan is not possible!" The first person to speak was Kuai Liang. When Kuai Liang saw the document, he was shocked. Why! Because Sun Ce was a completely desperate plan! He wrote to his lord Liu Biao, let alone other princes! Once millions of hungry people make trouble in the Lujiang River in Shouchun, Lu Bu is really finished, and Kuai Liang stood up immediately because his favor for Lu Bu's army is much better than that of Jiangdong Army!
Sun Ce in Jiangdong is a tiger, and it is possible to swallow Jingzhou at any time. Kuai Liang almost died at Zhou Yu's hands. Do you think Kuai Liang has a good impression of Sun Ce's army? And where is Lu Bu! Yang Hong and Kuai Liang are brothers. Although Kuai Liang also knows that Yang Hong is waiting for a price, they are all princes after all! What's more, because Lu Bu's army almost took back Jiangxia in Jingzhou!
"Zirou, tell me!" Liu Biao treated Kuai Liang very well. After all, this was one of the two most wise strategists under Liu Mang's command. If Zhuge Liang was added, there would be three. Moreover, Kuai Liang was also a member of the Kuai family. Liu Biao used Kuai family to check and balance the Cai family, but wasn't it a balance to balance the Kuai family? In the battle of Jiangxia, Kuai Liang helped the Jingzhou army to capture Sanjiangkou, otherwise Jiangxia would be lost now. Liu Biao naturally smiled at Kuai Liang.
"Lord, Sun Ce from Jiangdong, has a grudge against his lord to kill his father. Now he wants to seize Jiangxia from Jingzhou. In the battle with Jiangdong, how many generals and people have died in Jingzhou! Is it that the lord wants to have a slut with such a person?" Kuai Liang directly picked up the main contradiction between Liu Biao and Sun Ce from Jingzhou. Liu Biao killed Sun Ce's father, and Jingzhou is a mountain blocking in front of Jiangdong. On the public and private side, Sun Ce was the first person to kill Liu Biao.
"Mr. Zirou's words are wrong!" Cai Mao next to him continued, "Lord, this is not about trying to get a skin with a tiger, but about taking each person's needs!" Cai Mao is a gentry, and a gentry who is completely based on his own interests! In his eyes, there is only interests but no other things, and everything else can be sacrificed. Otherwise, Cai Mao would not have used his nephew's foundation to exchange for the prosperity and wealth of the Cai family after Liu Biao died in Jingzhou.
Whether it is Sun Ce in Jiangdong or Liu Mang in Shouchun, it is not a good thing for him. Sun Ce in Jiangdong is determined to attack Jingzhou. Although Liu Mang in Shouchun is not attacking Jingzhou, his recruitment order has offended the gentry in the world. Cai Mao is the only one in the world. Humph, what is Liu Mang trying to do! He wants to be Wang Mang!
Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty was such a person. Historical books said that Wang Mang used to usurp the throne and seek power, and the annihilation of the ministers was Wang Mang's label. But who knows that Wang Mang was a person who truly supported the Han Dynasty! What was his former title? Zhou Gong was still alive! He was humble, frugal, respectful and respectful to the wise and the poor, and had a reputation in the court and the country. In the late Western Han Dynasty, social contradictions intensified unprecedentedly. Wang Mang was regarded as the only candidate to save the crisis. Wang Mang's restructuring was really beneficial to the people. He did not allow the large-scale transaction of land, which reduced the annexation of land by the gentry, adjusted taxes, and reduced the burden on the people. In addition, it was not allowed to sell slaves. In terms of talents, he was more talent-oriented, allowing the poor children of the world to stand out!
It was such a person who stood on the front line of the times who had no good ending in the end, and he was even more infamous for thousands of years in the history of the future. Why is this? That is because Wang Mang came into contact with the vital interests of some people. These people were the gentry tribes in the world. Wang Mang cut off the gentry tribes in the world to become stronger and bigger, and the official system that was almost equivalent to an iron rice bowl. How could those gentry tribes spare him? So at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, after the introduction of Wang Mang's new policy, those gentry began to rebel. In the end, the entire Wang Mang's new dynasty disappeared into history, and Wang Mang was also given the title of annihilation of the thief and usurpation of the throne.
What Liu Mang did now is exactly what Wang Mang did. He first withdrew from the recruitment order, but only talented people, so that the poor families in the world can stand out. What are those poor children for Cai Mao? They are just a bunch of humble people. Are such people worthy to be on the same level as the gentry? The arrogance of being a gentry made Cai Mao look down on the poor children in the world. It is not just Cai Mao who has this idea! Tao Qian, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao from Guandu, they all look at your background first and then ask about your talent. Now Liu Mang has created such a sign to reduce the tax on land? The land is not allowed to be sold, and even if it is sold, it will be sold to the government. Isn’t this exactly what Wang Mang proposed at the beginning!
Sun Ce threatened Cai Mao’s current interests, but Liu Mang threatened Cai Mao’s fundamental interests.
So Cai Mao was willing to help Sun Ce deal with Liu Mang.
"Each person takes the need?!" Kuai Liang smiled disdainfully. Cai Mao's official position is a military advisor in Jingzhou, but everyone knows that Cai Mao is completely an idiot in strategy in addition to training troops. Now Cai Mao opposes because his family's interests are threatened. "Don't ask the military advisor, why do we get the need from Jiangdong Sun Ce?!"
"Lu Bu's army was originally an enemy of Jingzhou. Before, Lu Bu attacked Huangzhou and persuaded me to surrender to the generals of Jingzhou, and also captured General Huang Zu's beloved son Huang She. Did Mr. Kuai Liang forget that Mr. Kuai Liang? We don't need Sun Ce to deal with Lu Bu! It would be better to have one more neighbor who was eyeing him next to him!"
"Aren't the military advisor afraid that the Lu Bu army will be implicated by our army?" Kuai Liang continued to ask.
"This is Sun Ce's plan from Jiangdong. What's the point of doing with me, Jingzhou? We're just letting it go!" Cai Mao said righteously.
"What a person let it go!" Kuai Liang smiled, but this smile was a sneer. Cai Mao was really a strategic idiot, and he really took the interests of the gentry as the foundation and let it go. In other words, it was in accordance with what Sun Ce in Jiangdong said, using a million people to destroy the Lu Bu army, causing civil unrest. "Have the military advisor ever thought about who would be the most beneficial to destroy the Lu Bu army? It was Sun Ce, which was Sun Ce in Jiangdong?" Kuai Liang asked and replied, "If there was no Lu Bu army, military advisor! Can you defend Jiangxia now?! If there was no Lu Bu army? Jiangxia is still in the hands of our Jingzhou!"
"With my talent in Jingzhou here, how can Jiangxia not be able to defend it!" Cai Mao also treated Kuai Liang coldly. Compared to his brother Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang was more like a strategist, because he no longer made profits for the gentry and ignored the great cause of the lord, just like Tian Feng and Ju Su, these two were also children of the gentry, but they were not like Guo Tu and Xu You who concealed their family, and in order to strengthen their family, they embezzled [***] without telling the lord Yuan Shao, taking kickbacks and taking advantage of each other's actions for the sake of power and interests.
"Why can I lose Sanjiangkou? Why can I defend it? Why can I retreat from Xiakou?! Why can I defend it? Why have Jiangdong attacked my Jingzhou, but I am incompetent in Jiangdong?" Kuai Liang's questioning was completely unwilling to give Cai Mao a face! Cai Mao is the military advisor of the entire Jingzhou, and the commander-in-chief of the navy. It can be said that he has to pay half of the responsibility for the defeat of the Jingzhou navy. Now Kuai Liang's questioning is to clarify these issues and question Cai Mao's ability. You said Cai Mao was not angry! His face was blushing. If it weren't for Liu Biao being on the side, he might have gone up to kill Kuai Liang's heart! He would not scold someone, and he would not slap someone in the face.
"Kuai Liang, how much benefit did you take on Lu Bu's army have you to speak for them!" Cai Mao was really angry and started to speak out. Kuai Liang was on a mission to Lujiang, but he went to negotiate. He also took back the crossbow and even captured Sanjiangkou because of this. This time, he was recommended by Cai Mao.
When Kuai Liang saw the blushing on Cai Mao's face, he still refused to let Cai Mao go. Since Cai Mao was so polite that he wanted to tear his face, Kuai Liang no longer needed to save face for Cai Mao. "Get benefits? I, Kuai Liang, have a clean and honest life, and money is like a cloud of clouds. My salary is enough. I don't like a military advisor. I have a family member who needs to take care of him. Those salary is really enough." Kuai Liang brought Cai Mao with me quietly. Kuai Liang said that he was a clean and honest person, which means that he was an honest person. Although he did not explicitly say that Cai Mao was a corruption man, there was a family who wanted to raise him later, and then the issue of salary was involved. Even the people could understand that this was saying that Cai Mao was corruption.
"You, you!" Cai Mao pointed at Kuai Liang and couldn't speak. Cai Mao was a military advisor of Jingzhou and a general of the navy. He was a member of the 2,000 sq. S. according to his salary, how many people are there in the Cai family? With private soldiers and tens of thousands of people in each branch, two thousand sq. S. is not enough to eat! So if Cai Mao is not corrupt, he will believe it. So Cai Mao has no face.
"However, Liang wanted to ask the military advisor how much benefit did Sun Ce in Jiangdong? If we really follow the military advisor's words, we are trying to make the tiger's skin and defeat Lu Bu in Lujiang together, then we will really help Sun Ce in Jiangdong."
"It's nonsense! Kuai Zirou, do you think you are the Kuai family and you can be embarrassed and angry!" Cai Mao's face was full of shame. Kuai Liang's brother Kuai Yue is not saying a word now, and he doesn't want to help anyone. Kuai Liang is his younger brother, a family, and Cai Mao is his ally. It can be said that only when the two families cooperate can they become bigger and stronger in Jingzhou, and he doesn't want to help Cai Mao. Liu Biao sat on the throne.
He didn't say anything either. He wanted the Kuai family and the Cai family to have conflicts. As long as it was not a life-and-death blood feud, as long as they didn't fight openly, then they would fight! The way of balance is the way of princes and the way of emperors.
"Oh, then I would like to ask the military advisor, once Lu Bu is defeated, who will get Lujiang?!"
"Of course it's Sun Ce!" Cai Mao is not an idiot, he is stupid in strategy, but he still understands the least things. Now there are only the Liu Biao army in Jingzhou and the Sun Ce army in Jiangdong in the Yangtze River Basin. If Lu Bu's army is defeated, then Lujiang will be the two companies that can compete. If Jiang Xia was still completely in Liu Biao's hands before, Liu Biao's army might be able to compete for it, but now Jiangxia only has Sanjiangkou and Xiakou in Liu Biao's hands. What can we do to fight for Lujiang?
"So how many benefits did you take from the Jiangdong Army?" Kuai Liang still said that. Cai Mao really couldn't stand it. He wanted to do it, and Liu Biao felt it was enough, so he spoke, "Okay, okay! Zirou said a few less words."
"Lord! With Lu Bu's army here, you can hold up tens of thousands of troops in Jiangdong. If Lu Bu is destroyed, then Sun Ce will really free up his hands and fight to the death with our army!" Kuai Liang heard Liu Biao's words and let Cai Mao go to Liu Biao, "A Sun Ce who is tied up and Sun Ce who is doing his best, please decide which one the lord wants!"
"Yeah!" Liu Biao nodded and Kuai Liang analyzed very well. Lu Bu's army, Sun Ce's army, was not a good person for Jingzhou. If Chen Duan was not too much in Sun Ce's army, I'm afraid that Lu Bu would have already fought Xinye and left Xinye. Huangzhou was captured, the general was persuaded to surrender, and Huang She was captured. It can be said that this was a shame in Jingzhou and was slapped in the face. It would be too embarrassing to ignore it. This time, Sun Ce wrote a letter to take revenge.
"What do you think about the Yi Di?" Liu Biao turned his eyes to Kuai Yue. Kuai Yue has always been calm and composed. Moreover, this person either doesn't speak or he will definitely be able to find out the key to the matter. He is a first-class strategist. Otherwise, after Cao got Kuai Yue, he said that Jingzhou is worse than Kuai Yue.
"Me?" Kuai Yue knew that he could not escape. He originally had a dispute between his younger brother and Cai Mao that he didn't want to insert, but now he had to give a summary.
"Brother Zhongde said so well!" Kuai Yue spoke directly. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cai Mao smiled. According to Kuai Yue's tone, he wanted to support himself. Cai Mao could not argue with Kuai Liang, but Kuai Yue was not sure. "Does it be Sun Ce in Jiangdong or Lu Bu in Lujiang are all a threat to my Jingzhou. What's the difference between tigers and wolfs? Moreover, this skill can drive tigers and swallow wolves. We can release this. This is what Sun Ce planned in Jiangdong! What would happen if Lu Bu was angry and angry? You must have been burning your boat and settled the accounts with Sun Ce!" Kuai Yue processed what Cai Mao thought, and it completely changed. Sun Ce wrote a letter. We could agree to help them, but we could also reveal the letter and tell Lu Bu that it was Sun Ce that Jiangdong who asked us to do this!
It would be fine if Lu Bu could bear it, but he could not resist it. He really forced Lu Bu to a certain extent. With Lu Bu's surname, it would be a death-death battle. It had been once before. Sun Ce forced Lu Bu to join the alliance and thought that he had planned to do it everywhere. Because Lu Bu offended too many people at that time, there was Cao ** behind him and Liu Bei beside him. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was beaten by him again and had no way to escape. Calculate that Lu Bu dared not come to offend him or would be surrounded by enemies!
But unexpectedly, Lu Bu actually played the plan of killing the enemy and directly broke into Wancheng. If Sun Ce forced him again this time, it would be inevitable that he would be out of business. Lu Bu was furious and refused to Lujiang and went to find Sun Ce's trouble. At that time, Jiangdong Army would make a lot of money and a thug would be in vain. This big player was still at the level of a master.
"What Brother Yi Du said is what Mao said!" Cai Mao was already shameless. He looked at Kuai Liang proudly. Look, even your elder brother supports me, do you still want to fight me? In fact, Cai Mao did not want to get so much, but he just wanted Liu Mang to perish!
Liu Biao also nodded. If this happens, Jingzhou will be very profitable. He is not afraid that Sun Ce will not admit it, because he has Sun Ce's letter in his hand.
"Brother?!" Kuai Liang looked at his elder brother and was puzzled. Why did he help Cai Mao speak? Don't you know that Lu Bu's army can be stabilized in Jingzhou! The three-legged tripod is the safest strategy.
"But!" Just as everyone was speculating that the lord might have used Cai Mao's strategy this time, Kuai Yue suddenly made a 360-degree turn. "What Zirou said is not a false statement!" Kuai Yue smiled at Kuai Liang. Even if he supported Cai Mao, he would not directly slap his brother in the face. There are so many people here. The Kuai brothers have a deep relationship. The elder brother is like a father and the Kuai family died early, and it was Kuai Yue who supported this family. The relationship between the two brothers is like father and son. No matter how Cai Mao has an alliance with the Kuai family, he is still an outsider.
"If Lu Bu is defeated, then the most profitable person will be Sun Ce. And once this is the case, Sun Ce will do his best to deal with our Jingzhou. Now Cao ** in the Central Plains is confronting Yuan Shao in Guandu, and Liu Bei and Wancheng Zhang Xiu are also watching the changes. Jiangdong can be considered unstoppable, and then it will be a big problem for our Jingzhou!" Kuai Yue said jokingly.
"No! Yidu, didn't you just say that Lu Bu would come and fight to the death! As long as we told Lu Bu that this was the plan of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, then it would be that Sun Ce in Jiangdong who stole the chicken and stolen rice! It was not the disaster in Jingzhou!" Cai Mao also wanted to take out Kuai Yue's words just now.
But Kuai Yue would not think of the idea of his words and his shortcomings. "Zhongde, don't worry, I said before, Lu Bu may have a death-death battle with Sun Ce, and according to Lu Bu's surname, this possible surname is more than 90%!" Kuai Yue said to Liu Biao, "But don't forget a little! The Lu Bu army now has no naval army, and the Lu Bu army and Sun Ce from Jiangdong are separated by natural dangers! Lu Bu can't cross the river at all, so how can he fight to the death-death battle? Before that, it was because Wancheng was Sun Ce's! Now Wancheng is Lu Bu's own!" Yes, the only warships of Lu Bu army were sold to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. How could he pass the Yangtze River? Lu Bu army's Bingzhou wolf cavalry is the best in the world, and he has to call him a father when he reaches the water surface! Jiangdong naval army can block the Yangtze River.
If Lu Bu's army had the advantage of bed crossbows before, it would have forced the situation, but now there was also bed crossbows in Jiangdong Sun Ce. The navy was not Kuai Yue and Zhang Jiangdong's morale to destroy his might. It was really a navy. The Jiangdong navy is now the best in the world. In terms of scale, training level, and soldiers' level!
"Our Jingzhou navy can help him!" Cai Mao mentioned it. There is no problem with Lu Bu having no navy. Jingzhou has it! You can help him.
"Haha, Brother Zhongde, you said he would accept it according to Lu Bu's temper!" Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao.
"This!" Cai Mao also hesitated. To be honest, if Lu Bu really knew that stubborn temper, Lu Bu would not be able to accept it.
"Not only is it impossible to accept it, but once our army also participates, Lu Bu cannot cross the river. Who do you think he will throw his anger on!"
"Our army!" Everyone present thought of this consequence. Jingzhou is not as good as Jiangdong. Jingzhou has a lot of land on the other end of the river, such as half of Jiangxia, Sanjiangkou is exposed on the land, and then Xinye. If the surname Lu Bujun is of good quality and can run upstream of Jingzhou and raid across the river, then Jingzhou will be really unlucky. There are hungry wolves in front and tigers behind. This is not to drive the tigers and swallow the wolf, but to deliver them to the tigers and wolfs to eat.
Cai Mao also thought of this terrifying consequence and couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"That means according to the different degrees?!" Liu Biao also frowned. This pre-strategy is not good, and the post-strategy is not good. What should we do?
"Watch the changes!" Kuai Yue smiled indifferently.
"Watch the changes?" Everyone was puzzled.
"We don't take the initiative to help Sun Ce send the people of Jingzhou to Shouchun, but I don't stop them. We can even help Liu Mang promote them. In this way, even if the people go, Liu Mang won't blame us. Who made the summoning order issued by His Highness the King of Shu himself? Even if Lu Bu is defeated, it has nothing to do with us. Next, I will send Sun Ce's letter.
With this letter, it can not only provoke the relationship between Lu Bu and Sun Ce, but also ease the relationship between our Jingzhou and Lu Bu. This is a favor! We can even give Lu Bu's army some food and grass appropriately. "Kuai Yue said to everyone that what Kuai Yue said was not to give too much food and grass, but that it was just a few thousand stones. "The next thing is whether Lu Bu is defeated or not, it has nothing to do with us, but it is beneficial to us! If Lu Bu really defeated as Sun Ce said! We will provide warships, and I believe that Lu Bu would not refuse at that time." Of course, he would not refuse. Liu Biaoyi did not take the initiative to plot against Lu Bu, and came to provide food and grass. Although Lu Bu would not be grateful, at least he would have to give face.
The one who was unlucky in Lu Bu’s army who survived the Yangtze River was Sun Ce!
"If Lu Bu was not defeated? Then Lu Bu would not have a great threat to us at this time. Moreover, after being plotted by someone, who do you think Lu Bu is most angry with? At that time, it was Sun Ce who was troubled!" Kuai Yue finally finished his plan.
One by one, Jingzhou is the most advantageous no matter what.
Chapter completed!
