Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

Things in Wuling County are over, but things in Jingzhou are far from over.

Liu Biao of Xiangyang City has been waiting for a long time. It can even be said that Liu Biao hopes that he will succeed in Wuling more than Liu Bei himself.

Because when Liu Bei decided to attack Taishi Ci in Ai County, Liu Biao had already thought about how to respond.

At this time, in the Jingzhou Mufu in Xiangyang, Liu Biao once again called his mastermind Kuai Yue in front of him.

"Xidu, ten months ago when I learned that Liu Xuande planned to attack Ai County, I wanted to order him to withdraw and cut off his food and grass.

At that time, you said that it would be better to let me wait and see what happens, and then just now you asked me to transfer Huang Zhong away to reward Liu Bei.

I followed your advice, but can Xiandu help me solve my doubts now?"

Kuai Yue looked at Liu Biao in front of him, showed a slight smile, and then bowed towards Liu Biao.

"My Lord, Liu Bei first arrived in Jingnan ten months ago and attempted to attack Ai County.

At the beginning, the lord also asked Yue what Liu Xuande wanted.

It's a pity that Yue didn't know clearly at the beginning, so he couldn't really answer the lord.

But Yue understood one thing, that is, no matter what Liu Xuande thought, there were two things he could not avoid.

First, he could only rely on his lord. After all, the lord was the Jingzhou Shepherd appointed by the imperial court, and he had great prestige.

Even if Liu Xuande had the courage to do so, he would not dare to refute the imperial court's appointment, especially when the Lord was appointed in the third year of Chuping.

Although everything Liu Xuande has now is the result of his hard work for so many years, it is also because he is a member of the Han clan.

Without such an identity, Liu Xuande would never be what he is now.

Therefore, he will not openly resist his lord.

Secondly, Liu Xuande's move must be to quickly increase his power and gain a foothold in Jingzhou.

When he was in Jiangxia, Liu Xuande had already negotiated with the eldest son, so it was understandable that Master Liu Pan would support Liu Xuande.

But this does not mean that Mr. Liu Pan is no longer loyal to his lord, it is just a matter of fact.

Since these two points are unmistakable, why should I restrict Liu Xuande?

We don’t need to worry about what will happen between Mr. Liu Pan and Liu Xuande, nor do we need to worry about what plans he has.

Because as long as it is in this land of Jingzhou, all his plans can ultimately belong to the lord.

I just need to wait quietly for Liu Bei to do his own thing.

Then at the last moment, all the benefits Liu Bei got were transferred.

Anyway... isn't he using the banner of lord?

Is it possible that he still wants to go back on his word?

Or...does he really dare to stand on his own in Jingnan and destroy the reputation he has worked so hard for so many years in one day?"

After Kuai Yue finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.

Liu Biao fell silent, and the other counselors and staff could not say a word.

Before, they gave Liu Biao many suggestions, such as not allowing Jingnan to supply food and grass, for example, forcing Liu Pan to withdraw his troops, and Xu Si even directly suggested that Liu Biao write a secret letter to Liu Pan.

That is to let Liu Pan directly kill Liu Bei on the spot in the army...

These suggestions seem to be out of reach for Kuai Yue now.

"Liu Bei is really willing?" Liu Biao was also a little moved, but he was still a little worried, "If Liu Bei is really forced to rebel..."

"Don't worry, my lord, let's not talk about whether Liu Bei has the qualifications to fight to the death with my lord in Jingzhou. Even if he did, Zhuge Kongming would not agree to him doing such nonsense.

As the saying goes, a small impatience messes up a big plan, so Liu Bei was not willing to make an enemy of his lord.

From the beginning to the end, all he wanted to plot was the eldest son."

After Kuai Yue said these words, he stepped back and lowered his head, unwilling to speak any more.

Because he also knows that the things that follow are probably not something that an outsider like him can participate in "too much".

Sure enough, after hearing Kuai Yue's words, Liu Biao's face suddenly turned as dark as ink, and his whole temperament became gloomier by three points.

"Humph, stupid!"

With a cold snort and a stupid sound, everyone didn't know who they were talking about. Of course, they didn't want to know who their lord was talking about.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Liu Biao got down to business immediately after venting his anger, "Who have been under Liu Bei's command during this period?"

"Two brothers from the Xi family in Xiangyang, Xi Zhen and Xi Hong..."

"Cough cough cough..." Kuai Yue coughed and interrupted Liu Biao and several others. He wondered if he had not expressed his meaning clearly before. Why was he poaching people now?

"My Lord, Liu Xuande is a guest in Jingzhou after all, so it would not be good to directly transfer his subordinates..."

"Didn't Xiedu just say that I want me to directly transfer the generals and soldiers around him?"

"My Lord, what Yue just said was to directly transfer his benefits, although it is not impossible to directly transfer his generals.

It's just that we don't need to be blamed, and we can't recruit the veterans around Liu Xuande.

Children of wealthy families such as Xi Zhen and Xi Hong did not hold official positions. Instead, they served as staff members, making it difficult for us to do anything.

Therefore, it is of no use to transfer a few young players.

What Yue means is...since Liu Xuande has captured the Wuxi barbarians in Wuling, why not, my lord, recruit the Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke as Zhonglang General and garrison Wancheng with the army!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao couldn't help but frown.

"A little barbarian actually wants to appoint him as Zhonglang General and stationed in Wancheng... What does this mean?"

"Although Samoko is just a barbarian, he is crucial to Liu Xuande.

In the future, if Liu Xuande wants to gain a foothold in Jingnan, he must have an army of his own. This cannot be done by the soldiers and horses of all the generals in Jingzhou.

Re-certifying young people is also a Jingzhou citizen, and it is not the best choice for him.

But the Wuxi barbarians are different. Although they dare not say that they are good at fighting, they still have a large number of people, and they have brave people like Samoko as their leaders.

They are the best force for Liu Xuande. As long as they hold the Wuxi barbarians in their hands, Wuling County will be inseparable.

So there is no need for me to take action against those young generals who have just joined Liu Xuande's command.

If Samoko was transferred directly, Liu Bei had no reason not to release him. Moreover, Samoko certainly had no intention of returning at this time, and Liu Bei would not feel confident sending him back to the Wuxi Barbarians.

The best way to deal with this is to have Samoko follow our orders and be transferred to Wancheng.

Then he sent one of his confidants there at the same time, firstly to ensure that Shamoko would not rebel and join us, but also to prevent Shamoko from dying in Wancheng.

He will not be able to explain to the Wuxi barbarians by then.

So... isn't this better than forced recruitment?"
