Chapter 551: Alliance under marriage (321 monthly bills outstanding)
In Huang''s hall, four people sat opposite each other, seemingly in harmony, but in fact they were all testing each other.
When Liu Biao mentioned the Kuai brothers just now, his attitude seemed a bit subtle, which made Fei Qian feel that Liu Biao was obviously slightly dissatisfied with the suggestions of these two men.
Cai Xi said at the side: "Zi Rou said that after a new defeat, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, so they can only dig deep trenches and high bases to avoid the front, and send people to ask Yuan Chaiqi to relieve the siege..."
?Fei Qian suddenly understood something, so it turned out that this was the case, his eyes gradually became a little dark, and he remained silent.
Liu Biao looked at Fei Qian''s thinking, and while he had a glimmer of hope, he also felt deeply fearful. He felt that Fei Qian''s understanding of the current situation gave him more possibilities to take action, but he was also a little scared that Fei Qian had such a strong insight.
Liu Biao couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. If he had known it earlier, he should have...
Leaving aside Liu Biao’s journey of searching for the medicine to regret, Kuai Liang’s even-keeled answer was both unexpected and reasonable.
? ? Gentlemen are such people. Sometimes they are very smart, but sometimes they look stupid. But the question is, you need to know whether this stupidity is really stupid, or just pretending to be stupid under special circumstances...
?Just like the old man who captured the leader of the Wei family when Fei was lurking in the east of the river, wasn''t he pretending to be crazy in order to save the family?
In the Han Dynasty, there were so many nobles doing this kind of thing, it was as easy as eating and drinking...
??Not to mention Lu Bu, who has a low IQ and needs to be recharged, even the scheming Liu Bei was also tricked. Weren''t there people like Cao Cao and Cao Pi who were full of evil intentions deceived by Sima Yi''s appearance?
?Kui Liang’s strategy, aha, what a good idea.
What he said is correct. If Yuan Shao mobilized his troops south from Jizhou, Yuan Shu would be the first to become nervous, and then he would definitely withdraw his troops and return to defense. The siege of Xiangyang would naturally be solved.
But let’s not talk about Yuan Shaoyuan’s unwillingness to confront Yuan Shu at this time. Just saying that this time, he was not riding Lu Bu’s red rabbit horse. In addition, Yuan Shao also had to prepare troops, horses, food and other supplies. This journey will take at least a month...
?Like Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, their heads are at least equipped with a 2.0T turbocharger structure. How could they not consider this issue? So naturally, behind such an answer, there are considerations from Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, or in other words, considerations from the Kuai family.
The Kuai family is completely different from the Pang family, Cai family, and Huang family.
The Pang family is a spiritual leader of the Jingxiang gentry. He is aloof and rarely involved in the political affairs of Jingxiang. However, it is precisely because of this that he has no conflict of interest with most of the gentry in Jingxiang. Therefore, basically all The Jingxiang gentry will subconsciously defend the Pang family, which is equivalent to maintaining the status of the Jingxiang gentry''s classics.
The Cai family and the Huang family are married to each other, and their relationship with Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, is complicated and close, and they have become an inseparable whole. Liu Biao''s interests are also the interests of the Cai family and the Huang family, and vice versa. So, today, Liu Biao brought Cai Xi over and sat with Huang Chengyan and Fei Qian.
Because in a sense, the interests of the four people here are more closely and firmly connected with each other than those of the Kuai family and others...
Fei Qian asked: "How much food is stored in Xiangyang?"
Liu Biao said: "There is still enough food and grass to last for three months."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "In this case, Zirou''s strategy is the way to be steady. One is to hold on, the other is to mobilize troops, and the third is to wait for reinforcements. Why not use them?" After three months, Xiangyang City was very majestic. , if you don’t make a move easily, it would be a good idea to hold on for a while first. Besides, Fei Qian came to Jingxiang with no intention of getting himself involved in this whirlpool.
After all, I came to Jingxiang just to hire some Huang craftsmen, and to recruit as many helpers as possible, not to help you Liu Biao...
Liu Biao''s eyes flickered and he said, "Since Ziyuan knows, why ask?"
Fei Qian chuckled, then turned to look at his father-in-law Huang Chengyan. Fei Qian didn''t know what the Kuai brothers were planning, but Fei Qian wanted to know what Liu Biao thought of the Kuai brothers'' idea. But looking at Liu Biao''s attitude now, he should have realized the intentions of the Kuai brothers, so he came to find Cai Xi, Huang Chengyan and Fei Qian.
No wonder the Kuai brothers, who were praised to the heavens by Liu Biao in the early stage, were reduced to villains who snitched behind the scenes in the middle period when Liu Bei came to invest, and remained unknown in the end...
?This transformation was probably planted at this point in time.
Not only the Kuai family, but the entire Jingxiang and even the vast majority of the local nobles in Jiangnan do not have much sense of loyalty to whoever is the lord. Perhaps due to customs and habits, the nobles here generally only want to be the lord. Within the scope of one''s own interests, in fact, it doesn''t seem to be a big problem who is the lord...
?This is also a problem that has been troubled by Jing Xiang in his later period, including Sun Quan''s later period.
Fei Qian looked at what Huang Chengyan meant, which was to ask his father-in-law for his opinion. Of course, there was also a small other meaning in it...
There is no other way, just do as the Romans do.
? Huang Chengyan didn’t say anything, and just glared at Fei Qian.
?Hmm, I understand.
In fact, Huang Chengyan''s willingness to send a message for Liu Biao has already explained some problems. However, most of his cavalry are Bingzhou soldiers who follow Fei Qian, so they cannot get around it.
In fact, the four people sitting in the hall, because they are all related by marriage to each other, can be said to suffer both losses and gain. When Liu Biao usurped Fei Qian''s merits and collaborated with the Kuai brothers to trap Fei Qian, It was also before Fei Qian married Huang Chengyan''s daughter. Afterwards, although there was some calculation, he was not very ruthless. He mostly used surveillance, and did not resort to any desperate measures. There was still some kindness left. Moreover, when Fei Qian resigned, he also said that he owed Liu Biao a favor...
For now, let’s just think of it as returning the favor.
Fei Qian said: "When Qian first came to Jingzhou, he was thanked by Mr. Liu for taking care of him. He paid homage to him and gave him farewell instructions. He also taught him earnestly and earnestly, which is still vivid in his mind. Later, because of Cai Zhonglang''s incident, he said goodbye to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu was also generous and magnanimous. , I’m really grateful that I won’t care about Qian’s rude behavior. I don’t mind that Mr. Liu has little potential in what happened today... Qian will help Mr. Liu fight against Sun Polu!”
Liu Biao''s eyes flashed and he said: "It is a blessing from heaven that Ziyuan helps me! Please accept my bow!" After saying this, he stood up and saluted.
How could Fei Qian let Liu Biao really salute him? He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He pondered for a while and said, "If you want to win, I may need to borrow something from Mr. Liu..."
Liu Biao opened his eyes, his face a little uncertain. Well, what do you want to borrow?
Could it be that you want to borrow my head for use?
The good thing about the project in the mountains is that when I wake up every day, the mountains are shrouded in mist, which makes it feel like a fairyland on earth...
…
…
but…
mmp…
The quilt and mat were also very damp...
I will probably get arthritis in the long run...
