Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

"Brother Gongda went to Jiangxia?"

Kuai Yue asked with a surprised look on his face.

Cai Mao nodded: "If the plan is correct, Huang Zu will send troops from Jiangxia in two days to threaten Jiangling, attract Liu Biao's attention, and pave the way for Duke Cao to take Fancheng."

"With Liu Biao's attention diverted, the pressure on the Cai family will naturally be relieved."

"But Liu Biao is a capricious person. In the past few days, I can clearly feel the caution in his eyes."

"I'm afraid that he will either change the wedding date, or directly force my Cai family to express their stance."

"Now I feel uneasy and can't sit still!"

"Brother Yidu, we have known each other for many years. The reason why our two families are able to control Jingxiang's power is because of our mutual support."

"It is difficult to survive alone. The more difficult the situation, the more we need to put aside our past grudges and work together. Otherwise, how can we get through the difficulties?"

Kuai Yue nodded sympathetically: "Brother Gongda's plan is good, but it does not take into account the changes in Xiangyang City."

"For example, Liu Biao is already very annoyed by the rumors from the outside world."

"Not to mention that you, the Cai family, feel uncomfortable, how can my Kuai family be spared by him?"

"I have cleaned up the eyeliner outside my Kuai family three times in the past few days, but every time I just clean it up, someone will touch it up again. The difference is only two hours."

"This shows Liu Biao's inner tension."

"As soon as Huang Zu sends troops, Liu Biao will definitely take action against the Cai family. This is inevitable."

After receiving Kuai Yue's affirmative answer, Cai Mao's face became more solemn: "Brother Yidu, what should we do?"

Kuai Yue paced for a while: "De Si, do you believe me?"

Cai Mao said: "How could I not believe you?"

"We have worked together for several years and cooperated with each other. Otherwise, how could we have a foothold in Jingxiang?"

Kuai Yue said: "Since you want to believe it, then I will tell the truth."

"Xun Gongda's plan was a clever one for Cao Gong, but he didn't make it clear."

"Huang Zu's attack on Jiangling certainly attracted Liu Biao's attention, but Xiangyang City was what Liu Biao paid attention to."

"We all know the amount of grain, grass and ordnance stored here."

"So whether our two families take action or not will most affect Liu Biao's heart."

"That is to say, in Xun Gongda's mind, our family is also a chess piece, a chess piece that affects Liu Biao. As long as we can get Jing Xiang, our lives and lives are irrelevant."

Cai Mao took a breath, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

If anyone else had said this, Cai Mao would have felt that they were trying to sow discord and had ulterior motives.

But Kuai Yue's identity is different, so the effect of speaking out will naturally be different.

In Cai Mao's eyes, the Cai family and the Kuai family are in the same boat and will never betray each other.

"Why this?"

The corners of Kuai Yue's mouth raised slightly. He knew that when Cai Hao asked this question, his firm heart had already begun to waver, and now he needed the next dose of strong medicine!
  Turning around, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden."

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking!"

"If Jingxiang is captured, who will affect Prime Minister Cao's absolute rule?"

"Of course it's our two families."

"When Liu Biao entered Jingxiang alone, our family could help him enter Jingxiang and occupy the seven counties."

"Prime Minister Cao is coming. It's also our family's cooperation with the people from the imperial court who will eventually capture Jingxiang."

"What do you think Prime Minister Cao will think?"

Cai Mao's face showed a pale look. At this moment, he was even more sure of what Kuai Yue said just now.

Because only when the weak Cai family and the Kuai family are eliminated, Cao Cao can sit back and relax, and can control Jing Xiang like an arm.

If there was an opportunity for both of them and Liu Biao to suffer losses, this would have been the best plan.

How could Xun You not understand this?
  In this way, what Kuai Yue said just now can be explained.

At this moment, Cai Mao was in a state of confusion.

He had a good relationship with Cao Cao. They both worshiped their mother in the same family, and they were brothers who shared life and death together.

Because of this relationship, when Cao Cao wrote to him in private, he clearly expressed his support for Cao Cao's takeover of Jingxiang.

But while he was working hard for his hard work, he was secretly betrayed and stabbed in the back by someone he trusted. This feeling is naturally not good.

Seeing Cai Mao get into the corner of the bull, Kuai Yue knew that the fire was almost gone.

If he continued talking, he would be suspected of sowing discord. All he had to do was drink a few glasses of wine and wait for Cai Mao to figure it out.

The next room fell into a state of calm.

Cai Mao didn't drink or eat.

On the other hand, Kuai Yue drank a drink from time to time, and occasionally took a bite of food.

Finally, Cai Mao's eyes regained their former look: "Brother Yidu, what do you think we should do?"

Kuai Yue smiled: "Let's see what Brother De Si thinks about it."

"What do you mean by that?"

Kuai Yue said: "Brother De Si, do you want to be a chess piece or a chess player?"

"Chess piece? Chess player?"

A look of confusion flashed in Cai Mao's eyes. After a brief silence, he smiled bitterly and said: "Everything in the world is like chess. We have already appeared on the big chess game of Jingxiang. How can we jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player?"

"We have no chance!"

"Speaking of which, I feel sorry for you, Brother Yidu."

"If I hadn't tried my best to persuade you, how could you have made up your mind so quickly?"

"It was I who killed you!"

At the end, a flash of guilt flashed in Cai Mao's eyes.

This hint of sincere guilt almost made Kuai Yue soften his heart.

After stabilizing his mind, Kuai Yue said: "Brother De Si, we are all members of aristocratic families, and there are some things that need to consider the interests of the family."

"For this, even if it means sacrificing the interests of my friends, I won't hesitate."

"I can understand that."

"Actually, it's not impossible for us to break the situation now."

"Ok?"

"How to break the game?"

Cai Hao asked anxiously.

Kuai Yue smiled: "What will happen if we take Xiangyang and sell it at a price?"

"Capture Xiangyang? Sell it for a price?"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with dazzling color.

He had never thought of this possibility, but Kuai Yue exposed the matter and let him see a glimmer of possibility.

But Cai Mao, who quickly calmed down, said with a wry smile: "It's easy to say, but difficult to do."

"With our strength, at most we will lose everything, but we will still be happy when the time comes."

Kuai Yue smiled and said: "We are not going to fall out with Liu Biao head-on. What are we afraid of?"

"In fact, most people will not sacrifice their lives for anyone as long as the leader is killed."

"That is to say, as long as we kill Liu Biao and bring chaos to Xiangyang City, we will have a chance."

"With Xiangyang City in hand, countless people will be willing to negotiate terms with us."

"At that time, we will have greater initiative."

Cai Hao was silent for a while: "Brother Yidu, do you have other ideas?"

Kuai Yue shook his head: "I just want to keep the Kuai family and keep the glory and wealth of the Kuai family."

"As for who owns this Jingxiang and who owns this world, it has nothing to do with me."

"Having said that, I have nothing else to say."

"Everything depends on Brother De Si's decision."
