Chapter 631 The Princes Are Not Vegetarian
Ma Chao has always believed that the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

Whether it is prestige or personal reputation, it is definitely an intangible asset in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty.And he, Ma Chao, has been managing his own asset, because he knows the importance of this asset.

Because of this, Ma Chao judged that after Qin Yu took the secret shadow letter, he would definitely let Liu Biao hand it over...to send Ma's family at least one county in Nanyang.

Back then, when Zhang Xiu occupied the northern part of Jingzhou, he was just a school lieutenant under Dong Zhuo's command, with few achievements in his life. Guo Bang's hijacking has become a big joke, and the world doesn't buy the account of General Jianzhong at all.

Besides, the Nanyang County was not defeated by Zhang Xiu with one punch or one kick.It was Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle, who died after a battle with Liu Biao, making all the soldiers in Xiliang under his command have become mourners.In view of this, Liu Biao didn't want to fight to the death with the group of Xiliang soldiers who were frantically hungry and out of breath.In addition, he wanted to use Zhang Xiu as a barrier in the north of Jingzhou, so as to spare energy to ease and reconcile the conflicts among the various classes in Jingzhou, so he used the pretense of benevolence, morality and fraternity, and made an expedient measure, giving Zhang Xiu a county of Nanyang.

Such a comparison, replacing Zhang Xiu in history with Lu Bu, one can imagine how shocking it is.

Zhang Xiu's family name is unknown, and although Lu Bu was defeated by Ma Chao several times, it is undeniable that the reputation of the world's tiger has almost resounded in Hebei, Yan, Henan, Jing, Qing, and Sili, especially in Hebei. In Bingzhou, Lu Bu's hometown, he even enjoyed the reputation of "Flying General".Everyone in the world will never forget the proud figure and great achievements of Lv Bu leading the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, roaring like the wind, and defeating Dong Zhujun under the Hulao pass.

Lu Bu is an unruly man, but his achievements are indeed high enough. If you don't believe me, who dares to say no.Then give him a knife and let him try to fight Lu Bu one-on-one?And his reputation is almost the endorsement of the undefeated god of war in this era-everyone in the world can't defeat Lu Bu, so he will slander Lu Bu.But deep down in their hearts, they all had an inexplicable fear of Lu Bu.

Similarly, Liu Biao is no exception.As a result, when Qin Yu read out the secret report, the entire conference hall fell into silence.Especially Cai Hao, who was extremely arrogant before, could not help but look angry after hearing Lu Bu's name, but his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Only Huang Zhong, with gleaming eyes, seemed to want to ask for orders to fight against Lu Bu.However, Qin Yu learned that Huang Zhong couldn't be stupid enough to ask for a fight in this situation - Huang Zhong at this time was just the Sima of the Jiang Xia Army, leading a thousand Red Crow Army.What's more, Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and often rejected Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong's life in Jiangxia was very unsatisfactory.

Huang Zhong was in a humble position at this time, and Cai Mao was dissatisfied when he asked Lu Bu about being a general.At this time, if he tries to get ahead again, it's not because he is brave enough to ask for orders to protect Jingzhou, but because he doesn't understand human relations and mess up the rules!Qin Yu felt that Huang Zhong, who had been ostracized by Huang Zu, would not disturb the hall like a hot-blooded young man.

Sure enough, the divine light in Huang Zhong's eyes went out after a while.And the only thing he did was to cast his eyes on Liu Biao: this time Liu Biao called him to Xiangyang, he would not abandon him, would he?

Unfortunately, Huang Zhong was once again disappointed: this time Liu Biao called Huang Zhong into the conference hall, probably because he thought of Ma Chao's heroic and unparalleled reputation, so he had no intention of calling Huang Zhong to Xiangyang.In other words, Liu Biao was afraid of Ma Chao's majesty, that's why he asked Huang Zhong to come here to fill him with anger and give him courage.

A brave general often leads an army soul.Liu Biao no longer understands war, he is absolutely aware of this.But this does not mean that Liu Biao will reuse Huang Zhong.There is no other reason, but because Huang Zhong came from a humble background. In Jingzhou, a place where there are many clan lords, it is difficult for Huang Zhong to achieve his ambition...

"Mr. Qin, is he threatening me in Jingzhou?!" Liu Biao finally woke up from the shock. At this moment, he swept away his previously complacent expression and asked Qin Yu coldly.

Qin Yu didn't answer, only showed the smile from the last meeting, and looked at Liu Biao warmly.Not only that, he also looked around the meeting hall and glanced at those civil servants and military generals.Especially Kuai Liang, who was glanced twice more by Qin Yu.

Kuai Liang felt aggrieved at the moment, he was well aware of his protagonist's disposition: on the surface, Liu Biao always treats people calmly and warmly, and seems to hate all conflicts of interest in the world.But in fact, as a prince of one party, Liu Biao has nothing to lack in the ambition of the princes.He just had to put on a gorgeous and touching disguise because of his background and reputation.

And the more this is the time, the more it needs the maintenance of the staff.Even though Kuai Liang didn't have many countermeasures, he still stood up bravely and said, "Mr. Qin is too despicable, do you think that a mere fraudulent letter can scare some heroes of Jingzhou?"

What Kuai Liang said was actually just a tactic to delay the attack.As long as the Jingzhou faction became ostriches, the Ma family would no longer be aggressive.In such a situation, even if you set aside some time to think about the countermeasures, it will be extremely beneficial to Jingzhou.

However, the facts are not as expected. Just when Qin Yu was still smiling and saying nothing, a panicked messenger suddenly ran outside the hall and shouted loudly: "My lord, Yingyang is urgent! Yuan Shu's new servant Lü Bu, leading [-] elite soldiers, has been forced to set up camp outside the city, and I ask my lord to make a quick decision!"

Everyone in the hall, listening to the order to read this urgent report, felt like being slapped hard by Qin Yu.And Cai Hao was a little bit annoyed, he drew his sword and shouted: "Where did the order come from, it lied about the military situation, dragged it out and chopped it up!"

"General!" Huang Zhong blurted out when he heard the words, and wanted to ask the messenger to intercede.But after seeing Cai Mao's cold expression, Huang Zhong closed his eyes helplessly.Seeing this, Qin Yu had an idea, and said a word: "Why should General Cai deceive himself?..."

"Presumptuous!" Cai Mao was furious and approached Qin Yu.At this moment, Liu Biao, who was sitting in the front seat, said in a strange tone: "General Cai, don't let the Ma family see the joke about our Jingzhou..."

When Cai Mao heard this, he glanced at Liu Biao, and then retreated in fear.And Qin Yu still smiled and said nothing, just nodded slightly to Huang Zhong.Before Huang Zhong could respond, he immediately nodded to Qin Yu as a return gift.

It's just that this action is made at such a sensitive moment, in the eyes of everyone, it is not that simple.And Huang Zhong seemed to have reacted suddenly, sighed lightly, and shook his head.

"Yuan Shu is a traitor, and he invaded Jingzhou without hesitation!" Kuai Yue stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "I am a hero in Jingzhou, am I a man waiting to die? If it weren't for Ma Huanqi who was on this occasion and wanted to use Nanyang County to feed the victims, I would From all over Jingzhou, we must give the will to raise troops and defeat them, and follow the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty!!"

After saying these words, Qin Yu wanted to applaud Kuai Yue from the bottom of his heart: this short sentence not only saved Jingzhou's face, but also only revealed Nanyang County.What is especially important is that Kuai Yue did not take the blame, but gave Liu Biao a step down... The Kuai brothers, as the lord said, are deeply wise and have a glimpse of the overall situation.And, insight into people's hearts...

"Forget it, since the matter has come to this point, and Jingzhou and Ma's family want to form an alliance, then Nan'an County will temporarily borrow Ma's family to use it for Ma Hussars to fight against Yuan Shu's rebels..." Liu Biao was still surprised, with a touch of infiltration With the kind of gentle murderous intent in his bones, he continued: "However, as a Jingzhou shepherd, he is not a person who eats a corpse. Go back and tell Ma Mengqi, and say that there will be a hundred thousand Jingchu warriors, Chen Bing Yexian, and Ma's family. Resist Yuan Shu together!"

When Qin Yu heard the words, his heart sank: This Liu Biao is indeed a capable minister in troubled times who leads Jingzhou.These words seem to be extremely loyal, but when you think about it, you can guess that Liu Biao is taking advantage of the rivalry between Ma and Yuan to fish in troubled waters.I'm afraid that if he loses Nanyang County, he may not be able to get other counties from Yuan Shu...

Sure enough, none of the princes in the world is a vegetarian.
