The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 307 Chaos in Jingzhou
Liu Bei, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao walked into the study at the same time, only to see Liu Biao lying quietly on the bed, motionless, the three of them glanced at each other, walked to the bedside, Kuai Liang put his hand in front of Liu Biao's nose , unable to feel Liu Biao's breath, he touched Liu Biao's body with his hand again, it was a little cold, and he frowned and said: "It seems that the Lord has been dead for a long time, and his body feels cold."

Liu Bei knelt down in front of the bed with a "wow", his eyes were tearing like gates, and he couldn't stop it.

"Lord Zhou Mu, now Jingzhou is in danger, and the people are in dire straits. How can you leave without saying anything? Are you going to abandon the people of Jingzhou and ignore them?" Liu Bei said sadly, crying as he said, as if It was his own father who died.

Kuai Liang patted Liu Bei's shoulder and comforted him: "Xuande, don't be sad, as the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected after death, let's be sad."

Cai Mao took a step to the side, because Liu Bei's tears were about to flow to his feet, he really couldn't understand, is the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao really so good?Feelings so deep?
Liu Biao's death has become a fact, and Kuai Liang and Cai Mao are preparing to take care of Liu Biao's funeral. Of course, after that, the two major forces will inevitably compete, because Liu Biao's death will involve the issue of heirs, and Kuai Liang supports Da. The son Liu Qi, Cai Mao and others are supporting the second son Liu Cong. Whoever can become the master of Jingzhou in the end may cause another bloodbath.

In the middle of the night, Liu Bei and Li Shan had a secret conversation in the room. At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already fallen asleep. Even they didn't know that Liu Bei would have a secret conversation with Li Shan at this time.

"My lord's timing is very accurate. Kuai Liang and Cai Mao may have doubts about this, but there is absolutely no evidence." Yes, but I haven't been able to find the right time, so I have delayed until now.

"Although I haven't left any evidence, Cai Hao may not have to worry, but Kuai Zirou is smart and careful, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape his eyes." Liu Bei worried.

"My lord, don't worry, even if Kuai Zirou is suspicious, he won't say anything even if he knows what the lord did." Li Shan said confidently.

"Why did the military adviser say that?" Liu Bei was a little puzzled. He felt that Kuai Liang was resourceful and had assisted Liu Biao for many years, so he should be very loyal to Liu Biao.

"Compared to Cai Mao, Kuai Zirou is smarter and more upright, but this is also a relative term. Now that Liu Biao is dead, Jingzhou will soon face a situation, that is, internal and external troubles."

"The external troubles mentioned by the military adviser refer to Li Yuan and Sun Ce. What do you mean by internal troubles?"

"Internal worries actually refer to the struggle for power among the gentry. In the past, there was Liu Biao, so no matter how big the conflict between Cai Mao and Kuai Liang was, Liu Biao would resolve it for them. But now that Liu Biao has gone, the two of them have the greatest power in Jingzhou. The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there will be a struggle between them, not to mention the problem of succession, Kuai Liang supports Liu Qi, and Cai Mao supports Liu Cong. May expose the lord."

Li Shan believed in himself that he had already seen the situation in Jingzhou clearly. It is because Kuai Liang is a smart person that he dared to make such a promise, because Kuai Liang must have seen the situation in Jingzhou as clearly as he did.

For these prominent families in Jingzhou, maintaining their own power is the most important thing, so Kuai Liang will try his best to ensure the stability of Jingzhou. He must also clearly know that Liu Bei's help is indispensable in the face of foreign invasion, and also when dealing with Cai Mao. Liu Bei is also needed.

"The military advisor is absolutely right." After listening to Li Shan's words, Liu Bei was no longer so worried, and his face once again showed the look of "benevolence". The smarter Liu Bei was, the more he feared him, and a subtle relationship formed between the two.

While Liu Bei was discussing with Li Shan, the Kuai brothers didn't sleep either.

"Brother, what you asked me to do has been done." Kuai Yue reported to Kuai Lianghui. Although Kuai Liang is the head of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue is also a resourceful person, and his talent is no worse than his brother.

"What's the result?" Kuai Liang asked.

"I have already questioned all the servants in the lord's mansion today. One of the attendants said that Liu Bei had a discussion with the lord in the study yesterday. Liu Bei came out shortly after the two talked, but the lord never came out, so I doubt the lord's The death is related to Liu Bei." Kuai Yue revealed the results of the investigation.

"Is there any trauma on the master?"

Kuai Yue shook his head and said: "There is no external injury. According to the results of the autopsy, the lord did not die of illness, but was poisoned to death. I don't know what kind of poison it is, but the person who took the poison was poisoned." There will be no abnormal behavior in the end, and he will die quietly in the end. If the prediction is correct, this must be Liu Bei's poison."

"I once heard that Kong Rong in Beihai was also poisoned to death by Liu Bei, but there has been no evidence. Now it seems that he really has something to do with Liu Bei. This time the lord was poisoned by Liu Bei. After all, the lord was at the last moment of his life. I have only seen Liu Bei." Kuai Liang was [-]% sure that Liu Bei had poisoned him.

"I'll take people to arrest Liu Bei immediately, and avenge my lord!" Kuai Yue said indignantly.

"Wait a minute," Kuai Liang called Kuai Yue back, "don't touch Liu Bei yet."

"Why? Don't we expose Liu Bei as a hypocrite?" Kuai Yue asked puzzled. In his opinion, Kuai Liang should be an upright person.

"Now is not the time to deal with Liu Bei. If we deal with Liu Bei at this time, Jingzhou will definitely add chaos." Kuai Liang was also a little helpless.

"Brother, do you still want to use Liu Bei to deal with Cai Mao?"

"That's right. In the past, only when the lord was in Cai Mao would he collect something, but now that the lord is gone, Cai Mao will definitely be more unscrupulous, and the Cai family supports the second son Liu Cong to inherit the lord of Jingzhou, which is different from us. Cai Mao may then To use extraordinary means to deal with us, we have to rely on Liu Bei's strength, and Li Yuan and Sun Ce are watching outside, so Liu Bei is indispensable to deal with them." Kuai Liangyu said earnestly.

"Although what my elder brother said is reasonable, Liu Bei is a wolf with ambition. Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou?" Kuai Yue was more worried about Liu Bei's ambition.

"There is no need to worry about Yidu. As long as you control Liu Bei's troops, you can restrict his actions. We will get rid of him after dealing with Cai Mao, Li Yuan, Sun Ce and others." Kuai Liang's face rarely appeared once. He has a ruthless look, but he must never have thought that everything he thought had been seen through by Li Shan.
