There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

And the arrival of this unexpected person brought a ray of sunshine to the potter!

That ray of sunshine was the potter's hope to defeat Yuan Shu in one fell swoop!

The envoy was an envoy under the command of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, a member of the Kuai family, a prominent family in Nanjun, Jingzhou, Kuai Yue.

At this chaotic moment when the two armies were at war, the potter finally discovered a blind spot he had always been in after seeing Kuai Yue.

In Yuan Shu's so-called Eastern Expedition, the key to victory or defeat was never in Yuan Shu's hands, nor was it in the potter's own hands.

The person who can really decide the outcome of this war has always been someone else.

A mantis-catch-cicada oriole-like figure behind him.

It's Liu Biao!

Because of preparing the warship and arranging the plan for the implementation of the water battle, the pottery merchant has been so busy these days that he hardly closes his eyes.

But when he heard that the guards of Jinling City had sent Liu Biao's envoy to the front line, the potter almost didn't hesitate, and immediately received the envoy from Jingzhou with exhaustion.

Kuai Yue's appearance is very kind. Although he was born in a prominent family in South County, he has no pretensions at all. Not only did he meet the potter himself, he was very courteous, even Guo Jia and Chen Deng who followed the potter to meet him, Kuai Yue also greeted him one by one. Exchange of names, etiquette is very thoughtful.

People from Jingzhou have a lot of self-cultivation.

After meeting in the living room of Ruxuwu, the potter ordered people to bring fruits to entertain Kuai Yue, and made a modest apology to Kuai Yue: "The war is imminent, and alcohol is banned in the army. You can't entertain Jingzhou envoys with a grand banquet. Please don't blame me, sir." , forgive me a lot."

Kuai Yue obviously didn't have so many bad habits, and he wasn't very picky about things on the scene.

He just returned to the Tao merchant in a friendly manner: "The more important the future of the two families is, the more important it is for the two families to come to meet the Taoist lord, and to see the lord of the mansion, the more it will be like drinking several liters of sweet and mellow wine. I am already overjoyed and drunk. If you don't have time, why do you need the lord to entertain Kuai Yue, it is a great blessing for the lord to meet Kuai Yue."

Guo Jia's goosebumps fell from listening.

The envoy from Jingzhou was so obviously sycophantic, but he still smiled like a normal person after speaking, he was not disgusted at all by himself, it seems that the envoy sent by Liu Biao is really a powerful person.

It's not that thick-skinned.

"Mr. Kuai, Tao is facing the enemy now, and right now he is really not in the mood to enjoy the world with him. If you have time, you might as well go back to Jinling City to rest for a few days. Waiting for this matter, Tao repelled Yuan Shu. I don’t know what Mr. Kuai’s opinion is, and then gossip with Mr. Kuai Yue about family affairs and disputes in the world.” The pottery merchant looked at Kuai Yue calmly, and tried to test him with insinuations.

Kuai Yue didn't know if he was really not in a hurry, or if he had already seen through the potter's intentions.

He was still smiling warmly, speaking in a calm tone, and said to the pottery merchant: "It is unnecessary to let Yue go back to Jinling City... Yue came here under the order of Liu Jingzhou to make friends with Mr. Taiping, since Young Master has important matters to retreat from the enemy, so Yue will wait with Young Master here at Ruxuwu until Yuan Shu's army is completely withdrawn, and then the matter of enjoying the world with Young Master will be, I wonder what Master Taiping wants?"

really!

The pottery merchant couldn't help sighing inwardly—he really came prepared.

Guo Jia on the other side was smiling but not smiling, looking up and down Kuai Yue with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and suddenly developed a strong interest in this son of a famous family in Nanjun.

Chen Deng's expression remained the same, he didn't take it seriously, he coughed lightly, and asked Kuai Yue: "Mr. Yidu is so sure that my family's lord can definitely defeat Yuan Shu? You need to know that Yuan Shu's subordinates, who wear armor Nearly a hundred thousand people."

Kuai Yue turned his head to look at Chen Deng, with a smile that was not a smile: "Mr. Yuanlong is a hero of the Xuzhou gentry, and a famous person in the state. You should know that the gentry never lie. Since Yue dared to make such a bold statement, it must be With something to rely on... May I ask Kuai Yue, if he has no confidence, how dare he travel thousands of miles and easily come to Danyang to brag about it with Lord Tao?"

"What a gentry does not lie!"

Guo Jia opened his mouth suddenly, raised his eyebrows and asked Kuai Yue, "It seems that Liu Jingzhou is already salivating for the land of Nanyang County, and wants to get out of his sword!"

Kuai Yue bowed to Guo Jiawei, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "My lord has been ordered by the emperor to take over the eight counties of Jingzhou and take charge of all affairs. Among the eight counties, seven counties are attached, and currently there is only one county in Nanyang. Not yet returned according to the edict, Yuan Gonglu used his force and violated the will of the emperor to dominate Nanyang County for nearly three years. In this extraordinary period, it is time for the property to be returned to the original owner...Three, I don’t know what you think, the more Say, does it make sense?"

Chapter 235 The Southern Pillar

As soon as Kuai Yue finished speaking, Guo Jia and Chen Deng were both a little moved.

It seems that the governor Liu who rode into Jingzhou alone...is still underestimated by the people in this world.

It's really not the idle generation.

Others don't know Liu Biao's ability, but as a potter who traveled to this era in later generations, he is more or less clear.

Many people say that Liu Biao is self-styled and does not seek to make progress. In fact, from the perspective of potters, it contains some subjective arguments. After all, Liu Biao took office. In order to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, his military power has not been secure. It is not entirely his fault that both Kuai and Cai have withdrawn, and they have not been able to make full efforts to make progress.

In the battle of Guandu, where Yuan and Cao confronted each other, Liu Biao failed to raise his troops to conquer Xuchang in time, and occupied Cao Cao's rear, which made many people think that Liu Biao was not a person who could achieve great things, but in fact he was not.

It's not that Liu Biao didn't want to take advantage of the confrontation between Yuan and Cao to go north to expand his power, but during the Battle of Guandu, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, raised his troops to rebel. Zhang Xian was from Nanyang. In his heart, since Liu Biao took office in Jingzhou, although Zhang Xian surrendered in name, he has always been the hegemony in Jingnan, which is almost equivalent to ruling the north and south with Liu Biao.

Zhang Xian rebelled against Liu Biao during the Guandu War. With a wave of arms, the four prefectures of Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling responded to the rebellion one after another, which basically meant that half of Jingzhou was wiped out.

Liu Biao's backyard caught fire. During this period, he was basically busy regaining lost ground, and had no time to go north to expand.

If Zhang Xian hadn't rebelled in Jingnan, Liu Biao might not have been silent during the Yuan Cao battle.

At least during Liu Bao's 18 years in charge of Jingzhou, no one in the world was able to make Liu Biao suffer a big loss, including Cao Cao. This alone fully proves that Liu Biao is good.

Based on this, the potters were not particularly surprised that Liu Biao wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shu's eastward expedition and take back Nanyang County in the rear. This was indeed something Liu Biao was capable of doing.

But the pottery merchant had several doubts in his mind, which Kuai Yue needed to explain clearly to himself.

"Liu Jingzhou rode into Jingzhou alone, and with the help of the nobles and the Cai family, he turned the world around and sat firmly in Xiangyang. Tao deeply admires this. The former Jingzhou army shot and killed Sun Jian in an ambush in Xiangyang, which shocked the world and made the world a hero. It's just that according to Tao's knowledge, there have been many thieves in Jingzhou for many years, and there are many armed tyrants. Liu Jingzhou is not thinking about peace now, but intends to get involved in Yuan Shu's roots. There are internal and external troubles at the time, so I don't know how Liu Jingzhou should deal with this matter?"

Facing inquiries from potters, Kuai Yue seemed to have a plan in mind.

He stroked the beard on his chin, smiled and said, "Young Master Tao doesn't know that before Yue left Xiangyang City and came here, the 55 leaders of the Jingzhou clan's thieves had already died."

Chen Deng was at the side, and he was shocked when he heard it.

The prosperity of Jingzhou sect thieves is known all over the world.

There are so many bandits in Jingzhou that there are few states in the world... and the so-called bandits do not refer to bandits, but local armed groups formed by clan and village relations. To put it bluntly, they are somewhat similar to rioters, but They are not ordinary rioters, they are organized, large-scale, and planned violent groups, just like gangsters who set up halls everywhere, entrenched for many years, mixed with dragons and snakes, very difficult to deal with.

When Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, in Chen Deng's mind, to deal with these local armed forces, the policy should be based on the policy of softness... But who would have thought that this fellow would give all the leaders of the local armed forces composed of these clans to him as soon as he took office? chopped?

Such boldness and methods are indeed rare in the world!

But using such a method is a bit too radical, right?Just assuming office, Liu Biao is not afraid of causing turmoil?

The potter didn't think like Chen Deng did.

Sect thieves are different from noble families. The gentry group is involved in the political trend of the states, counties and counties. Although it is sometimes hateful and annoying, they are all rooted and young. Slaughter at will will inevitably cause political upheaval and collapse, resulting in irreparable Loss.

However, underworld groups such as clans, whether they want to be killed or prosecuted, depend on the skills and abilities of those in power.

If Liu Biao thinks he can stay in the place and control the situation, it would be a good thing for him to eradicate all gangsters in these places. This will have an extremely important positive effect on stabilizing the peace and unity of the society.

Cracking down on gangsters and eradicating evil is everyone's responsibility.

Guo Jia apparently also wanted to go with the potter.

The prodigal son was a little greedy again, so he took out the gourd and shook it, raised his head and drank it, wiped his mouth and said: "The Jingzhou clan, the armed forces in all counties and counties are not weak, and the leaders of 55 clans will be eliminated... that's a big deal for them. How should Liu Jingzhou deal with those subordinates... Send troops to kill them?"

Kuai Yue laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Mr. Guo's words, are you trying to test Yu Yue?"
