Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Liu Biao was angry.

Losing to Liu Bei has already damaged my face.

Now you want me to send an envoy to bow to Liu Bei and beg Liu Bei to release your two brothers?

Do you want me to be humiliated by that big-eared thief again?

Liu Biao almost cursed.

The words came to his lips, but he still held them back.

Regarding his brother-in-law and the"financier behind the scenes", he knew that no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not show it easily unless absolutely necessary.

So Liu Biao could only choose to remain silent.

Silence, to some extent, represents a kind of denial.

Cai Mao frowned suddenly, and a dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, if the second and third brothers have their strengths and weaknesses, how will my lord, the brother-in-law, explain it to my sister?"

"If they were harmed by Liu Bei, I, as a brother, would not be able to explain it to the Cai family!"

"Do you want me to tell them that the lord, out of concern for his face, refused to rescue his second and third brothers, causing them to be harmed by Liu Bei?"

"In this way, the people of the tribe will definitely feel resentful towards the lord, even if I am worn outPi, explain to them the lord's difficulties, I'm afraid they won't listen."

Cai Mao had tears in his eyes and a look of grievance and helplessness.

Liu Biao felt a chill behind him.

His brother-in-law was threatening him in a subtle way!

He was hinting that if he ignored Cai Zhong and Cai He, , it is possible to lose the support of the Cai family.

As the shepherd of a state, but being threatened by his subordinates, Liu Biao suddenly felt angry in his heart and subconsciously clenched his fists.

"The two generals Cai are loyal to their lord, and they are his brothers-in-law and family members."

"If the Lord does not try to rescue him, he will indeed be criticized."

"I'm afraid they will say that my lord is so hard-hearted that he can even risk death to save his own relatives, so how can he protect the safety of the people of this state?"

"When the time comes, I'm afraid the lord will lose his heart."

Kuai Yue also analyzed the pros and cons with sincerity.

Kuai Yue and the Cai family are of the same spirit, married to each other, and form one body.

Kuai Yue's words are a subtle hint that if he does not save Cai Zhongcai and his two brothers, , the Kuai clan will also be dissatisfied because of this.

Without the support of the two major clans, how can he, the Jingzhou shepherd, still be able to sit firmly?

Liu Biao sighed secretly, and quietly loosened his clenched fists.

"You have all misunderstood me."

"They are both my loyal subjects and my brothers-in-law. How could I not care about their life or death?"

"It's just that we took the initiative to attack Liu Bei before, but were defeated by him, and now we are sending envoys to Liu Bei to ask for people. It's really..."

Liu Biao immediately expressed his attitude, but also expressed his difficulties tactfully.

"The so-called man is capable of bending and stretching. Today's mission to Liu Bei to make peace is just to stabilize Liu Bei."

"Firstly, it can save Er Cai, and secondly, it also needs to stabilize Liu Bei and buy time to mobilize troops and horses from various counties to attack Liu Bei again."

"My lord is doing this for the sake of the overall situation, and he has endured the humiliation for a while. People in the world will only admire my lord for his extraordinary ability. Who will laugh at my lord?"

Kuai Yue saw through Liu Biao's difficulties and eloquently set up a second ladder for Liu Biao.

The atmosphere was already here, what else could Liu Biao do.

After taking a light breath, Liu Biao could only wave his hands helplessly:

"Just as you two have requested, send an envoy quickly to Xinye to ask for Liu Beiyan and his people."

… new wild city

"I have posted a notice saying that for my service to you, I will be exempted from taxes in Xinye for one year."

"Ziyu, what do you think?"

Liu Bei handed a notice he had just prepared to Deng Mu with a smile.

Deng Mu took it and took a look, and immediately understood what Old Liu meant.

Old Liu knew that he was a Xinye person, so he exempted the people of Xinye from paying taxes. , posting this notice is to let the people of Xinye understand whose blessing they are entrusted to.

The so-called wealth and honor are not returned to the hometown, just like walking at night in brocade clothes.

Lao Liu is building momentum for him, allowing him to return to his hometown in glory and enjoy a beautiful life. The glory of returning home in rich clothes.

Although returning home in rich clothes sounds a bit vulgar and a bit vain.

But Deng Mu has always disdained to pretend to be noble and did not suppress the vulgar thoughts in his heart.

Lao Liu thought so carefully that he could do this He was quite moved by the fact that his own feelings were taken into consideration.

Faced with Lao Liu's kindness, Deng Mu accepted it calmly and said:

"Thank you so much, my lord. Na Mu will thank your lord on behalf of the people in his hometown."

I just thanked you here.

The bodyguard came to report that it was Liu Biao's envoy Kuai Kui who had arrived in Xinye and wanted to enter the city to ask for an audience.

Liu Biao's envoy!

The hall suddenly became lively and everyone was talking.

Bowangpo had just suffered a disastrous defeat, and another After losing the important town of Xinye, the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao can be described as a fight to the death.

Under such circumstances, Liu Biao suddenly sent an envoy, which made people speculate a lot.

"Ziyu, what is Liu Jingsheng’s plan for sending an envoy here at this time?"

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu suspiciously.

"What else could he have planned? He just wanted to make peace with his lord and get the two Cai brothers back."

Deng Mu sneered disapprovingly.

Peace?

Liu Bei was shocked, and a few doubts flashed in his eyes.

Everyone around him was also a little surprised by Deng Mu's judgment.

"I said, military advisor, are you kidding us?"

"Liu Biao, that old thief, was beaten to a black and swollen face by us, and his face was disgraced. Will he humble himself and come to ask for peace?"

Zhang Fei was outspoken and expressed his doubts directly.

"General Yide, although we have severely injured Liu Biao, we must not be careless and underestimate this person from now on."

"This Liu Biao is like a turtle. What he is best at is being able to bend and stretch."

"If you angered him and showed weakness to him, he would stick out his neck and bite you."

"If you hurt him, he will retract his neck decisively into his shell and let you laugh at him for being a turtle with his head shrinking."

Deng Mu's"turtle theory" was quite vivid, and Zhang Fei and everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Now that Liu Biao has lost his troops and generals, he cannot use any more troops against us for the time being. What he urgently needs is to mobilize troops and horses from various counties to restore his strength."

"Then he will naturally come to ask for peace, so as to stabilize the lord and buy time for him to recover."

"Furthermore, the two Cai brothers are his wife's brothers, and the Cai family is the cornerstone of his rule in Jingzhou. It is impossible for him to ignore the life and death of the Cai brothers."

"In this way, wouldn't it be logical for him to send envoys to make peace and rescue the Cai brothers along the way?"

Deng Mu's unhurried words exposed Liu Biao's wishful thinking.

Liu Bei suddenly understood and couldn't help but sigh:

"Ziyu really knows people's hearts. Liu Jingsheng's every move cannot escape Ziyu's wise eyes!"

After admiring,

Liu Bei asked again:

"So, according to Yi Ziyu and Liu Jingsheng’s words of peace, do we accept it or not?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Deng Mu.

"Of course I have to accept it"

"Liu Biao needs time to regain his strength, and we also need time to stabilize the new territory, reorganize and reduce the soldiers to my use, and prepare for the subsequent battle across the Han River."

Deng Mu said without thinking, and then a hint of mystery flashed at the corner of his mouth:

"Besides, we have to use Liu Biao's invitation to win over Wenpin, the Jingzhou general, for our lord!"
