During the rainy season, in the rainy Jiangling City of Jingzhou, a mansion with a mansion was arranged in a mansion. Several scholars in brocade clothes and robes talked about it in a formal manner.

Except for a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the upper seat, the rest were sitting on the spotless floor. The middle-aged man was Liu Biao, and the rest were his subordinates, and they were also the leading figures of several gentry members in Northern Jingzhou.

Of course, Kuai Yue is indispensable. At this time, he was intrigued by the excitement, and his face was red and his ears were spitting everywhere. Although the incense burner in the hall emitted a burst of musk, people in front of him could still smell the strong tone he emitted because of his anger.

"..., so, based on the above reasons, Yue believes that the lord should dump the troops of Jingzhou as soon as possible and eliminate Feng Yu, the thief, in one fell swoop. Then occupy Xiangyang and even the entire territory of Nanyang, and tie the throat of the north and south. This is the foundation of our Jingzhou. Otherwise, when Feng Yu's power grows, it will cause a disaster for our Jingzhou!"

Kuai Yue finally finished his long speech and made a conclusion and summed up that Liu Biao immediately started a full war against Feng Yu's Zhuyang. He seemed to have forgotten what he said to Liu Biao at the beginning—[Feng Yu is not afraid, and after pacifying the rest of Jingzhou, it is easy to eliminate him.]

At this time, Liu Biao's eyes were still slightly closed and he didn't say a word. After two or three breaths of awkward peace, Pang Ji, who was next to Liu Biao, spoke:

"Brother Yidu's worries are not without reason. But Ji believes that the lord's foundation should be based on South Jingzhou. Before we pacify and subdue various forces such as Nanyang, such as Jiangxia, it is not advisable to use troops to the north.

After hearing this, Kuai Yue became anxious and glared and said, "You are so confused. Now this thief is going to ride on our Jingzhou neck to scatter and pee. If we don't mess with him, he will definitely harass and plunder my Jingzhou. So we must first take action to eliminate the consequences in the north."

Pang Ji did not give him face, shook his head and continued: "But judging by Brother Yidu's experience, Feng Yu did not kill Brother Yidu, which means that he has not yet regarded my Jingzhou as the leader and attacked him. At least he would not take the initiative to invade my Jingzhou and meet me in a military battle, otherwise there would be no need to let Brother Yidu offend me this time."

Kuai Yue was about to open his mouth again, but Liu Biao suddenly opened his eyes that had been slightly closed, and turned his eyes to a blue-clad Confucian scholar in his left hand. He asked in a respectful tone: "Does Mr. Cai have any insights into this?"

The title in his question surprised some people in the hall who were ignorant of the inside. Because this "Tao Gong" Cai Feng is a few years younger than Liu Biao. Even in order to show closeness, this age difference should be called [brother]. Liu Biao called Cai Feng the Duke of Cai. Isn't he treating the other party as an elder?

Of course they didn't know that at this time, Liu Biao had already entered into a marriage contract with the Cai family, and Liu Biao wanted to marry Cai Feng's daughter, who was just over 17 years old, as his wife. Liu Biao naturally wanted to call Cai Gong.

Now, Liu Biao deliberately leans on the Cai family, which he has invested in in all aspects. Because he knows that relying too much on a certain local force will inevitably become a puppet controlled by others in the end. He feels that during the days he has been to Jingzhou, he has relied too much on the Kuai family.

Cai Feng did not directly answer Liu Biao's question, but instead politely said to Liu Biao: "Eunuch, my son Cai Mao can answer on behalf of someone." After hearing this, Liu Biao turned his attention to a young man standing behind Cai Feng. This young man was Cai Feng's son, Liu Biao's future brother-in-law Cai Mao.

Liu Biao knew that this was Cai Feng's intention to support Cai Mao's prestige in his power, so he encouraged him and said, "Since Mr. Cai said that, Degui, let me tell you what you think."

Cai Mao then spoke out his opinion:

"Report to the lord. I believe that we cannot get involved in Nanyang too early. Because Nanyang connects to Sanfu in the north, Runan in the east, Sili Heluo in the top, Hanzhong Bashu in the west, and Jingzhou in the bottom. In the future, Nanyang will be where the heroes come and go. If we invest our strength too early, it will definitely restrain a lot of our energy and troops. Moreover, Nanyang is now sparsely populated, and we use a large amount of manpower to occupy a wasteland, and we will have various frictions and intersect with the heroes coming and going here. That is not worth the loss."

After hearing these words, Liu Biao nodded in praise and encouraged Cai Mao to continue speaking.

"So, no matter how we attack Nanyang in the future, it will be the matter after we pacify the other counties and counties in Jingzhou. However, if we don't attack Nanyang, it does not mean that the line of Yicheng in Xiangyang is not important. This is where our northern gate of Jingzhou is about to rush. Therefore, the subordinates believe that we should either capture Xiangyang, use Xiangyang as a stronghold to establish a military town, and guard this key rush. Or set up a large camp and a base on the edge of the Mianshui River to defend against the enemy in the north."

After hearing this, Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is rare for Degui to have such knowledge at such a young age. We will definitely make some achievements in Jingzhou in the future."

Kuai Yue still said unwillingly: "Nanyang is not allowed, but if Feng Yu becomes a tiger in the future, then my Jingzhou will be like a thorn on his back."

There was an obvious loophole in his words, and even his brother Kuai Liang could not bear it. He retorted:

"Just just now, Degui said. This Nanyang is a place where heroes come and go. There will always be a hero occupying this place. Not to mention whether Feng Yu can become a tiger. Without him, there will be others. If we occupy the four battles in Nanyang, we will face more thorns. In this chaotic world, thorns always exist, so we have to choose a key rush in Xiangyang or Yicheng to set up defenses."

Kuai Yue then realized the absurdity of his words, and he was speechless and his face turned red. In fact, Kuai Yue's IQ is not low, but hatred has caused him to lose a lot of reason.

The discussion came to an end, and the conclusion was naturally to ignore Feng Yu's hostility and continue to defend the north and attack the south. However, this seemingly detailed discussion did not consider one important element, that is, the East Three Counties of Hanzhong County, that is, the East Three Counties in the future.

While this meeting was going on, on the same rainy Nanyang Plain, fifty armored knights riding tall horses were chasing a convoy. Not far behind, more than twenty escorts riding on the cascade of blood had fallen in pools of blood, and the horses that had lost their master fled everywhere.

The caravan was loaded with goods, so they naturally moved slowly. Although the caravan staff used their energy to run wildly in the rain, they were still slower than the cavalry team. After a while, they were about to be caught up by the cavalry team.

At this time, among the more than 100 guards in the caravan, more than twenty brave men were not aware of their power, and they even held their swords and shields to fight back.
