If Ma Chao hadn't told him in advance that Kuai Liang would privately invite him to Jingzhou, Liu Bei would have been aroused by Kuai Liang's clever plan at this time.
It must be said that Kuai Liang's seemingly clumsy provocation touched Liu Bei's ambitions and gave Liu Bei a very reasonable inner drive.
But unfortunately, the conspiracy did not wear a perfect coat, and was only exposed to the pitiful facts in the eyes of the parties involved.
Naturally, Liu Bei would not be moved in the slightest, and even the smile on his face did not fade in the slightest.
Of course, at this moment, Liu Bei's ups and downs in his heart at Ma Chao's cautious speculation method, which he knew very little, was not something Kuai Liang could see through.
Yes.
Liu Bei's unfazed reaction slightly made Kuai Liang a little unable to react.
He thought carefully before speaking.
Although the reason for entering Jingzhou to quell the rebellion was high-sounding, the essence of competing with Cai Mao was probably more in line with human nature.
At the same time, Liu Bei could keenly smell the unusual meaning of Jingzhou.
But such a few clever language tests had no results, leaving Kuai Liang almost speechless.
The atmosphere in the inner room became awkward like this, from Zhang Fei's angry shouting at the beginning to this strange silence, which lasted only one sentence.
Such a result was completely dominated by Liu Bei who was sitting in the seat.
Such a result made Kuai's conscience more and more anxious.
He began to feel restless and planned to adjust his strategy.
At this time, Liu Bei saw that the time seemed to be ripe.
He waved his hand and ordered Zhang Fei, who had been exuding pressure like a ferocious lion, to retreat.
He said in a very calm but embarrassed tone: "Bei and Liu Shijun are both Han Dynasties.
As a clan member, I have to take care of and support you in every possible way.
Now that the rebels and bandits are causing chaos in Jingzhou, I have no choice but to blame myself.
However, the products in Runan County are poor and there are few soldiers.
Although I have the intention to serve Liu Shijun, I am still unable to do so. insufficient" Kuai Liang's brows raised slightly.
He looked at Liu Bei's still calm expression and felt that he had been seen through by Liu Bei.
But his reason also told him that this was too impossible, so he had to continue to test: "If this is the case, the lord can only order General Cai to go and quell the rebellion."
"In that case, I would like to congratulate General Cai on his victory and the pacification of Jingzhou."
Liu Bei smiled and cupped his hands, with a sense of confidence in his eyes.
At this time, Kuai sighed helplessly in his conscience.
He understood that Liu Bei did know some things that he could not possibly know, which made him lose the opportunity in this intrigue: "General Cai has been particularly concerned about the defense of Jingzhou's military power in recent times, and the only one who can "The lord who restrained Cai Mao" paused, but Kuai Liang still told the truth: "My lord may have been poisoned by someone and became seriously ill.
Liang came here this time to ask the emperor's uncle to lead troops in according to the lord's order."
Stabilize the situation in Jingzhou.”
With that said, Kuai Liang took out Liu Biao's autographed letter to Liu Bei from his arms.
Looking at Kuai Liang's cautious expression, Liu Bei opened his hands, which were covered with fine handwriting.
First, there were nine big characters: "Jingzhou is in danger, only the virtuous brother can save it."
The handwriting was vague, crooked, and unclear.
Like Liu Biao's usual strictness and orderliness, there are specks of dark color between the lines, which are obviously blood stains from coughing.
It was impossible for Liu Bei not to be moved by such a letter.
He never expected that Liu Biao's condition and the situation in Jingzhou would have become so severe.
At that moment, he respectfully placed the letter on the desk and bowed deeply.
Then he turned around and said: "Yun Chang, how many warriors are there in Runan County who can fight?"
Guan Yu's expression did not change, and he directly said: "There are two thousand cavalry, and six thousand after the infantry is integrated, and there are eight thousand cavalry in total."
As soon as this number was reported, Kuai Liang's heart suddenly went cold: As a county governor, Liu Bei couldn't possibly not know how many capable warriors he had under his command.
Naturally, he might just want to confirm at this time, but Kuai Liang already knew that the combat power in Runan City was more than double what Guan Yu said However, Kuai Liang could refute the words of Guan Yu, the military general in charge of Runan.
His only trump card did not work with Liu Bei.
He could only reluctantly admit that he underestimated Liu Bei too much: "Uncle Liu Huang, eight thousand cavalry Entering Jingzhou is just a drop in the bucket.
If the emperor's uncle is really unable to do so, Jingzhou still has some military supplies and money, which can be secretly given to the emperor's uncle to recruit soldiers."

At this time, Kuai Liang had already admitted defeat and took the initiative to pour out his bottom line.
"How can this be done?"
Even so, there was no sign of rejection on Liu Bei's face.
"Cai Mao has 60,000 elite soldiers in his hands.
When the emperor goes to Jingzhou, the force must not be less than 20,000."
After a pause, Kuai Liang weighed and continued: "Liang secretly can send 6,000 coins to Runan." , In this way, the emperor's uncle can recruit at least more than 15,000 people."
In the Han Dynasty, a soldier spent about 8,000 yuan a year, and 6,000 guan was enough to recruit 15,000 people for half a year.
Kuai Liang was a true nobleman, and he would not talk about business affairs easily.
But when he spoke this time, he had no reservations.
However, after Liu Bei heard this number, he just blinked slightly, and did not look like he was grateful at all.
Kuai Liang realized at that moment that he had made a mistake.
He looked at Liu Bei's smiling and silent expression.
He never imagined that Liu Bei had such a big appetite.
He couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Uncle, such money is beyond the lord's ability.
If not for it, Jingzhou is in crisis, so I will definitely not beg the emperor like this."
Liu Bei still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, seemingly taking advantage of Kuai Liang.
At this time, Kuai Liang also suddenly thought that his trump card was completely revealed, but he still didn't know what Liu Bei's trump card was.
He couldn't help but start to panic in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "Uncle, this is the autumn of life and death in Jingzhou.
The outcome of this trip to Jingzhou is unknown.
My lord and I cannot risk everything on this."
These words were almost an ultimatum, but at the same time, Kuai Liang also revealed that they still wanted to retain their strength to make a difference.
And when the negotiations reach this point, it is also the time when the end is inevitable.
But the strange thing is that Liu Bei still sat upright, smiling and saying nothing.
This rude and insincere gesture immediately made Kuai Liang shudder.
He stood up angrily with a livid face, and turned around to leave without even saying goodbye.
But just as he walked to the door, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared, making him unable to move forward in decisive, shameful and angry steps.
"If the emperor's uncle sends out 20,000 soldiers this time, 5,000 of them are cavalry, and they are uniformly equipped with Ma family standard armor, I wonder what Zirou thinks Cai Mao will think of this.
I wonder if it is worth Zirou's consideration.
All the chips are on the emperor's uncle."
Kuai Liang suddenly turned around, his face extremely shocked.
He never imagined that King Yong Ma Chao would appear here.
Especially after seeing Liu Bei's respectful look towards Ma Chao, he immediately understood that Liu Bei's trump card was so irresistible to him.
The power of the Ma family has absolute power in this world.
Let alone Cai Mao, even powerful princes such as Cao Cao and Sun Ce would not fail to consider the Ma family's attitude before doing anything.
And Liu Bei had Ma Chao's support.
After settling in Jingzhou, Cai Mao would never act rashly if he had any brains.
Moreover, Kuai Liang would never think that Ma Chao had the intention to covet Jingzhou.
The territory of the Ma family was enough to keep Ma Chao honest for a while.
In fact, if Ma Chao had not said the last sentence, Kuai Liang would indeed be worried about Ma Chao being young, energetic and successful.
Shu looks toward Long.
But now, he was 80% sure that Ma Chao came for the wealth in Jingzhou.
Once the Ma family comes forward to intimidate, it will really be the best of both worlds.
Kuai Liang went through thousands of times in his mind, weighing all the benefits and losses.
The severe snow on his face melted away as quickly as the spring sun, and turned into a warm look: "Uncle Huang really performed a great show, with King Yong behind the scenes to help, how can we not give our full support?"
When Ma Chao and Liu Bei heard this, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

But soon, when they looked back at each other, there was a glint in their eyes that only they could understand
