Chapter 1219 Support

If Ma Chao hadn't said in advance that Kuai Liang would invite him to enter Jingzhou in private, Liu Bei would have been mobilized by Kuai Liang's tricks at this time. I have to say that the seemingly clumsy provocation suddenly touched Liu Bei's ambition and gave Liu Bei a very reasonable internal drive.

But unfortunately, the conspiracy did not wear a perfect coat, only after revealing the poor facts in the eyes of the parties. Naturally, Liu Bei will not move at all, and even the smile on his face has not diminished at all - of course, at this moment, the ups and downs of Liu Bei's heart to Ma Chao's cautious speculation method is not what Ke Liang can see through.

Liu Bei's favor and humiliating reaction slightly made Ou Liang a little unresponsive. Before he opened his mouth, he was very thoughtful. Although the reason for entering Jingzhou to suppress rebellion is high-sounding, the essence of fighting with Cai Mao may be more humane, and at the same time, it will also make Liu Bei keenly smell a trace of unusual meaning in Jingzhou. But such a few smart language tests did not have any results, making it almost nothing to say next.

The atmosphere in the inner room became so awkward, from Zhang Fei's anger at the beginning to this strange silence, but only one sentence. And such a result was completely dominated by Liu Bei in the seat. Such a result made the anxiety in his conscience more and more fermented. He began to feel a little restless and planned to start adjusting his strategy.

At this time, Liu Bei seemed to be ripe. Zhang Fei, who had been waving his hand like a fierce lion, retreated and said in a very stable but difficult tone, "Be and Liu Shijun are all relatives of the Han clan, and they have to be supported by the king in every way. Today, the rebels in Jingzhou are in trouble, and they are ready to blame themselves. However, a county in Runan is barren and has few soldiers and young generals. Although they have the intention to serve Liu Shijun, they are not enough..."

Kui Liang raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Liu Bei's still calm look and felt that he had been seen through by Liu Bei. But reason told him at the same time that it was too impossible, so he had to continue to test: "If so, the lord can only order General Cai to suppress the rebellion..."

"In this case, I would like to congratulate General Cai on his victory and pact Jingzhou!" Liu Bei smiled and arched his hand, and his eyes flashed with a sense of 'fearless'.

At this time, he sighed helplessly in his conscience. He understood that Liu Bei did know something that he could not know, which made him lose his opportunity in this intrigue: "General Cai has been particularly concerned about the defense of Jingzhou's military power in recent days, and the only lord who can contain Cai Mao..." After a pause, Kui Liang still said the truth: "The lord may also be poisoned and terminally ill. Liang came this time according to the order of the lord to invite his uncle to lead troops to Jingzhou to stabilize the situation.

With that, Kai Liang took out a handwritten letter from Liu Biao to Liu Bei from his arms. Looking at Kuai Liang's cautious look, Liu Bei opened his hands, which were full of fine handwriting, and nine big words were written first: "Jingzhou is in danger, and only the wise brother can be saved!" The handwriting is vague and crooked, which is not like Liu Biao's usual rigorous square. The lines are mixed with dark colors, which are clearly blood stains on the cough splash.

It is impossible for Liu Bei to take out such a letter. He never thought that Liu Biao's condition and the situation in Jingzhou had been so severe. At that moment, he respectfully put the letter at the desk and bowed deeply. Then he turned his head and said, "Yunchang, how many people are there to fight in Runan County?"

Guan Yu's expression has not changed. He directly opened his mouth and said, "There are still 2,000 cavalry and 6,000 after the integration of infantry, and 8,000 people ride together."

As soon as this number was reported, Kui Liang's heart immediately cooled: as a county guard, Liu Bei could not know how many people could fight under his account. Naturally, he may just want to confirm at this time, but Kwa Liang already knew that the combat power in Runan City is more than double that of Guan Yu's mouth...

However, can Kwa Liang refute the words of Guan Yu, the military general in charge of Runan? His only card did not play a role in Liu Bei, so he could only reluctantly admit that he really underestimated this Liu Bei: "Uncle Liu, riding into Jingzhou in 8,000 steps is tantamount to a drop in the bucket... If Uncle Huang is really weak, Jingzhou still has some military grain and money, which can be secretly given to Uncle Huang to recruit soldiers." At this time, Kliang Liang had admitted defeat and took the initiative to turn down his bottom line.

"How does this make? ..." Having said that, Liu Bei did not refuse at all.

"Cai Mao has 60,000 elite soldiers in his hand. Uncle Huang's military strength must not be less than 20,000 when he goes to Jingzhou." After a pause, Kuai Liang weighed and continued, "Liang can secretly send 6,000 yuan to Runan. In this way, the imperial uncle can recruit at least 15,000 people..."

A soldier in the Han Dynasty spent about 8,000 yuan a year, and 6,000 yuan was enough to recruit 15,000 people for half a year. Kai Liang is a real scholarly warlord. He doesn't easily talk about business. As soon as he opens his mouth, he has no reservations. However, after hearing this number, Liu Bei only blinked slightly and did not look grateful at all.

Kuai Liang realized that he had miscalculated again. He looked at Liu Bei's smile and said nothing. He never thought that Liu Bei had such a big appetite. He couldn't help but be a little angry: "Uncle, such money is beyond the master's ability. If it hadn't been for the crisis in Jingzhou, I wouldn't have pleaded with my uncle like this!"

Liu Bei is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and seems to be right.

And Kuai Liang suddenly thought at this time that his card had been completely revealed, but he still didn't know what Liu Bei's card was. I couldn't help but panic, and I couldn't help raising my tone and said, "Uncle! This is the autumn of Jingzhou's survival. The victory or defeat of Jingzhou is unknown. The lord and I can't be desperate!"

This statement is almost an ultimatum, but at the same time, it also revealed that they still want to retain their strength. And when the negotiation has reached this point, it is also a time to see the dagger. But strangely, Liu Bei still sat upright and smiled without saying a word.

This rude and insincere gesture suddenly made Kui Liang look down. He got up angrily with a green face and didn't even say goodbye, so he wanted to turn around and leave. But as soon as he reached the door, a familiar and strange voice suddenly appeared, which made him unable to walk again.

"If the emperor sent 20,000 soldiers this time, 5,000 of whom are cavalry and uniformly equipped with Ma family-style armor, I don't know what does Zirou think Cai Mao will feel? In this way, I don't know if it's worth considering pressing all the chips on Uncle Huang? ..."

Kui Liang suddenly turned around and looked extremely stunned. He never thought that King Yong Ma Chao would appear here. Especially after seeing Liu Bei's respectful appearance to Ma Chao, he immediately understood that Liu Bei's card was so irresistible.

The power of the Ma family has an absolute deterrent in this world. Not to mention Cai Mao, it is impossible for the powerful princes such as Cao Cao and Sun Ce not to take the lead in considering the attitude of the Ma family before doing anything. With the support of Ma Chao, Liu Bei, Cai Mao would never act rashly under the fear of throwing rats.

Moreover, Kuai Liang will never think that Ma Chao has the heart to coveted Jingzhou. The territory of the Ma family is enough to make Ma Chao honest for a while - in fact, if Ma Chao doesn't say the last word, Kuai Liang will indeed worry that Ma Chao is young and prosperous. But now, he is 80% sure that Ma Chao came for the wealth of Jingzhou.

Once the Ma family comes forward to deter it, it is really a perfect ending. After turning thousands of times in his mind and weighing all these gains and losses. Yan Xue on her face melted quickly as if she met the spring sun, and turned into a warm look: "Uncle Huang is really a good play. There is Yong Wang Xiangzhu behind the scenes. How can we not support it?"

Ma Chao and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled. But soon, when they turned around, a faint light flashed in their eyes that only they could understand.
