mtl008 Chapter 161
Chapter 161
“Xenodu, Deke, what do you two think?”
Liu Biao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was tightly fixed on the faces of Cai Yao and Kuang Yue.
It seems that he wants to see through the true thoughts in the hearts of the two.
However.
Kuang Yue and Cai Yao have also known Liu Biao for many years.
At this moment, where can you not see the concerns in Liu Biao’s heart?
I saw Kuang Yue smile slightly, and replied:
“Lord, Gu Lin’s momentum is great.”
“In the north, all of us combined are no match for him.”
“If he does not go south, we must not be an enemy of him.”
“But this time, the two ace cavalry, the most elite Western Liang Iron Horse and the Hezhou Wolf Horse, under Gu Linzhi, all remained in northern Xuzhou.”
“According to the spy report.”
“The army that Gu Linzhi intends to use to attack Jiangdong is only more than 90,000 infantry.”
“And Liu Xuande’s house, although his original strength is far inferior to Gu Linzhi.”
“But after he received the support of the Jiangdong family, there were many more soldiers who were good at water warfare under his command.”
“It’s hard to predict who wins and who loses.”
“If that’s when we’re involved.”
“For Liu Xuande, it is undoubtedly like a heavenly soldier.”
“And this time, it is also the only chance to get rid of Gu Linzhi!”
“Otherwise, once Gu Linzhi defeats Liu Xuande, the six counties of Jiangdong will definitely be in his hands.”
“I, Jingzhou, will be tightly wrapped up by Gu Linzhi’s sphere of influence in all directions.”
“But if it ends like that.”
“Is the Lord really willing?”
Kuang Yue looked at Liu Biao with a demagogic look and analyzed.
From the perspective of the Jingzhou family, they do not want a certain force to unify the world prematurely.
Especially forces with strong personalities like Dong Zhuo and Gu Yi.
Predictably.
Once Liu Bei, who occupied the land of Jiangdong, was defeated, the only options left for Jingzhou were surrender and resistance.
Surrender?
It means that the Jingzhou family will completely lose its status as the emperor of the soil.
Resist? 04
The ending of the Nanyang family and the Yuzhou family is most likely the end of the Jingzhou family.
Therefore.
Gu Yi’s southern expedition gave the Jingzhou family a great opportunity.
Once Gu Yi dies, the situation in the world will change rapidly.
Although Dong Zhuo’s forces are still the strongest princes in the world.
However, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others will definitely quickly seize the gap between Gu Yi’s death and send troops to regain the lost territory.
Including Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce, the two little brothers in the name of Dong Zhuo’s forces, it is also very likely that they will backstab the big brother.
After all.
The road that Big Brother wants to take is to eradicate all the princes and achieve great unification in the true sense.
And Sun Ce and Gongsun Zhan, who nominally submitted to Dong Zhuo’s forces and actually had a lot of ambitions, naturally did not want the big brother Dong Zhuo’s forces to really sweep the world.
After all.
Once Big Brother wipes out all hostile forces, I am afraid that it will be the turn of the two little brothers.
But.
Before Big Brother shows fatigue.
The two little brothers will definitely pretend to be “faithful” and will never go against the big brother.
And now.
The only way to make Dong Zhuo’s forces fall into a state of exhaustion is to kill Gu Yi, the actual ruler of Dong Zhuo’s forces!
As long as Gu Yi dies.
The world will fall into chaos again!
In terms of ability, Lao Dong definitely has it.
Under his leadership, the Western Liang Army became the strongest warlord in the world.
But when it comes to sweeping the world and achieving unification.
Lao Dong thought he did not have such ability.
If you really want to realize this grand wish, you have to rely on your precious grandson-in-law.
Therefore.
The importance of Gu Yi to Dong Zhuo’s forces is self-evident.
And now, although Gu Yi and Dong Bai already have their eldest son.
But the eldest son is still young.
If something happened to Gu Yi, then Lao Dong could only stand up and take power again.
However, Lao Dong was also an old man in his sixties.
In the eyes of the Kanto princes, it has not been possible to jump for a few years.
And Gu Yi is in the prime of life.
The threat between the two to the Kanto princes is not at all a grade.
When Kuang Yue said this, Liu Biao was also quite moved.
If you want to kill Gu Yi in the north, it is tantamount to dreaming.
But if you put it in the south, everything is not certain.
However, Liu Biao’s worries were obviously much more than those of Cai Yao and Kuang Yue.
He had dealt with Lao Dong and knew Lao Dong’s calf protection attributes.
This TM if Gu Yi really died in the south.
It was known by Lao Dong to be a black hand under Jingzhou.
Jingzhou, especially the northern region, will definitely be “devastated” by Lao Dong militarily!
Does Liu Biao dare to bet?
He really didn’t dare!
Therefore, Liu Biao told Cai Yao and Kuang Yue the concerns in his heart intact.
After listening.
Cai Yao and Kuang Yue also fell silent.
There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor between Jingbei and Jingnan.
The rich Jingbei is not as good as the former Jizhou and Yuzhou.
But looking at the entire Dahan, it can also be regarded as a high-GDP production area.
And Jingnan?
Changsha County is relatively good, but the remaining counties of Guiyang County, Lingling County and Wuling County are not highly developed.
As a result, more than eighty percent of the industries of the Jingzhou families are in Jingbei.
If Jingbei is really subjected to Lao Dong’s “devastating military attack”, it will definitely be a disaster for the Jingzhou family!
Seeing this, Cai Yao turned to Kuang Yue on the side and proposed:
“Heterogeneous, since you and I can’t think of any suitable strategy.”
“Then why don’t you call the messenger sent by Liu Xuande over and ask if he has any way to break the situation?”
“After all, that messenger is still related to our Cai Kuang family.”
Being reminded by Cai Yao, Kuang Yue also reacted.
Although the messenger was only sixteen years old.
But he seems to be a talented person.
Maybe you can really come up with some kind of miracle.
Moreover, the messenger was indeed a relative of their Cai Kuang family, which could not be fake.
Hearing this, Liu Biao was also interested.
Cai Yao and Kuang Yue’s common relatives?
Could it be…?
Thinking of this, Liu Biao also agreed to call the messenger sent by Liu Bei over.
……
Soon.
A young Confucian man wearing a white robe and seven feet five in length walked into the state pastoral mansion from outside.
This young Confucian was only sixteen years old.
In his hand is a white feather fan made of goose feathers.
It is foreseeable that at a young age, his height can continue to rise in the past few years.
Maybe it’s not true, the final height can exceed eight feet, or even eight feet one or two.
(PS: Each dynasty measures “ruler” differently, according to the Three Kingdoms. The relevant records of the Zhi can be inferred that the eight feet in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty corresponds to about one meter eighty-three in later generations, not one meter nine or two meters. ）
The moment I saw the young scribe.
Liu Biao couldn’t help but feel a trace of shock in his heart.
With his understanding of Cai Yao and Kuang Yue.
These two guys are typical “sharp words first”.
It is not ordinary to convince these two guys to tend to form an alliance with Liu Bei.
But the young scribe in front of him was really able to get this matter done.
It can be seen that this person is definitely not a good stubble.
Although the young scribe was young, he knew a lot about the rituals.
I saw that he respectfully saluted Liu Biao according to the Han system:
“In Xiazhuge Kongming, I have seen Liu Jingzhou.”
Yes, the messenger sent by Liu Bei was none other than Zhuge Liang.
In the year before last, when Cao Cao first attacked Xuzhou.
In order to avoid the war, his uncle Zhuge Xuan took the three brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Jun to the south to Yuzhang County.
Although the Zhuge family is not the top family in the world.
But it is not a cold family or a Yu ethnic group. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
It is even more unlikely to be some kind of “cloth clothes that plow Nanyang”.
As a matter of fact.
“Cultivating Nanyang’s cloth” is just Zhuge Liang’s humble statement in the departure table.
And today’s Zhuge family, the head of the family is Zhuge Liang’s uncle Zhuge Xuan.
He still had a good reputation in the literary circles of the time.
After arriving in Yuzhang, Zhuge Xuan was hired by his predecessor Yangzhou Assassin Chen Wen as Yuzhang Taishou, which was regarded as a shallow foothold in Jiangdong.
However.
The Zhuge family’s backer, Chen Wen, the Yangzhou assassin, died a year ago.
If there is no Gu Yi’s butterfly effect.
Zhuge Xuan would also die a year later.
In the original history, when Zhuge Xuan died, Jiangdong was being attacked by Sun Ce.
Zhuge Jin chose to defect to Sun Ce.
Zhuge Liang and Zhuge both fled to Jingzhou to escape the war.
But now.
Sun Ce did not attack Jiangdong.
On the contrary, Liu Bei, because there was no place for him in the north, went to Jiangdong by chance to develop.
The Jiangdong family feared Gu Yi and cooperated with Liu Bei in order to seek self-preservation.
In such cases.
Liu Bei’s road to pacifying Jiangdong was naturally very different from the violent methods used by Sun Ce in the original history.
The Jiangdong family has collectively chosen to support Liu Bei.
In the entire territory of Jiangdong, only two warlord forces, Yan Baihu and Wang Lang, would resist Liu Bei.
And Zhuge Xuan, as Yuzhang Taishou, although not a Jiangdong family.
But for the sake of the Zhuge family’s survival, he naturally chose to join Liu Bei’s camp.
The two brothers Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, plus a young Zhuge Jun, can also be regarded as following his uncle Zhuge Xuan into Liu Bei’s command in disguise.
Zhuge Jin is quite talented in government affairs.
And Zhuge Liang, although young, shows even more intelligence than his eldest brother Zhuge Jin.
This time, the strategy of wooing Liu Biao was also Zhuge Liang’s for Liu Bei.
In order to be able to successfully win over Liu Biao.
Zhuge Liang volunteered and took the initiative to serve as an envoy to Xiangyang.
And when it comes to the relationship between the Zhuge family and Jingzhou, it is really cut and chaotic.
As a matter of fact.
Several generations ago, the Zhuge family had married the Cai family, the Quang family, and the Huang family, which were local to Jingzhou.
Zhuge Xuan’s sister, that is, Zhuge Liang’s aunt, was married to Kuang Yue’s younger brother.
In other words, although the Zhuge family is not a local family in Jingzhou.
However, due to the existence of several generations of marriage relations, it can be regarded as half of the Jingzhou family.
When Zhuge Liang came to Jingzhou, it was like visiting relatives and friends back to his mother’s home.
After all.
In a way.
Even if the task of wooing Liu Biao was not successfully completed.
No one will deliberately embarrass young Zhuge Liang.
Now.
Facing Zhuge Liang’s salute, Liu Biao smiled and gave Zhuge Liang a seat.
“Kong Ming Xiaoyou, I won’t say much about Honzhou Mu in polite terms.”
“Jingzhou does not want to see Gu Linzhi attack Jiangdong.”
“437, but behind Gu Linzhi is still standing Dong Zhongying.”
“If Gu Linzhi really died in the south.”
“Jingzhou can’t afford Dong Zhongying’s retaliation.”
“Therefore, if you want Jingzhou to send troops, you must think of a suitable way to avoid Dong Zhongying’s retaliation!”
As a tumbler prince who had divided the nine counties of Jingxiang for nearly twenty years in the original history, Liu Biao’s ability to defend the land was really not blown.
The meaning of his words is clear.
If you want Jingzhou to send troops as a stirring stick, you can.
But you, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, must ensure that Jingzhou will not be retaliated and attacked by Dong Zhuo.
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and Yun replied lightly:
The state shepherd said and smiled.
“Jingzhou doesn’t need to pay a lot in this war.”
“You only need to send Jiangxia’s Huang Taishou to lead a 30,000 water army to block Gu Linzhi’s retreat.”
“The rest, naturally someone will clean up Gu Linzhi!”
I heard Zhuge Liang say this.
Liu Biao suddenly became interested.
“I wonder who did Kong Ming’s little friend say about cleaning up Gu Linzhi?”
“As far as I know, there are not many soldiers under Liu Xuande, right?”
“Could it be that he is so confident that he can kill Gu Linzhi with his own strength?”
Liu Biao was puzzled.
Although Liu Bei now has the help of the logistics nanny Jiangdong family, his strength in all aspects has developed rapidly.
But Liu Bei’s occupation of Jiangdong was not too long.
With just the 780,000 troops in his hand, can he really defeat Gu Yi?
The white feather fan in Zhuge Liang’s hand shook gently, and then sighed:
“My family’s lord’s forces are indeed not enough to defeat Gu Linzhi.”
“But… If Sun Bofu is added, how should Gu Linzhi deal with it? ”
“Poof!”
Hear this.
Liu Biao’s pupils constricted, and his arms trembled slightly.
If it is the alliance of Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce.
It is really not impossible to kill Gu Yi in the south!
Of course.
Liu Biao is not a fool either.
Zhuge Liang’s words were unfounded.
Sun Ce is Gu Yi’s little brother, and the two sides also have a marriage relationship.
How could he betray Gu Yi for no reason?
However.
Zhuge Liang seemed to see through what Liu Biao was thinking.
I saw him smile slightly:
“The state shepherd doesn’t have to worry about being deceived by others.”
“You can wait and see.”
“After Sun Bofu officially sends troops, it will not be too late for you to send Huang Taishou of Jiangxia to send troops.”
“In this way, we can know whether Sun Bofu will choose to betray Gu Linzhi.”
