What Liu Qi said about the rampant Black Mountain is not an exaggeration, but a real thing.

Just at the end of last year, Yuan Shao sent troops to Guanzhong and enjoyed the fruits of victory in killing Dong Zhuo together with Wang Yun, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Liu Qi. A mutiny occurred in Wei County in his rear. The rebel soldiers met with the Heishan army and invaded near Yecheng for a time.

Yuan Shao faced Cao Cao and Liu Qi on the front line, and he could not show too much panic, so he pretended to be nothing, but after he returned to Hebei, he immediately began planning and launched a large-scale anti-Mercenary Army this year.

Although the Heishan Army at that time was nominally a bandit, in fact, the vast territory of Bingzhou was controlled by them. To a certain extent, it was a major force that was terrifying the northern border.

At the same time, Zhang Yan is quite diplomatic and knows who is the vested interest who can stand with him.

With Zhang Yan's current status, as long as he is a gentry Mu Shou, he will not be in the same circle as him. Apart from the Yellow Turban Army headquarters, it would be difficult for Zhang Yan to find a high-end alliance in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang Yan's allies are foreign tribes, namely the Xiutu tribe of the Xiongnu and the Wuhuan entrenched in Yanmen. The biggest advantage of these grassland nations is that they have a large number of majestic war horses that can form powerful cavalry.

The soldiers in Heishan were numerous, and the four camps and Tuge and the Yanmen Wuhuan had many cavalrymen. The two were united and had a strong force. They even had the potential to compete with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was fighting with this powerful enemy, and he didn't care about anything else.

According to Liu Qi's inference, although Zhang Miao could unite the Yanzhou gentry to overthrow Cao Cao politically and thus overthrow it... the most important thing is that the gap between his armed forces and Cao Cao was too big.

Since Cao Cao and Zhang Miao are destined to not coexist, and they are now suspected of sending people to kill Cai Mao, since that is the case, let them fight for a longer time, more intense, and more stalemate.

In history, the Yanzhou gentry group led by Zhang Miao joined forces with Lu Bu, who happened to flee from Yuan Shao in panic when fighting Cao Cao.

But now, if Zhang Miao only fights against Lu Bu with his own strength, it would be a bit thin.

"The envoy's meaning is to ask Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others to send troops to Yanzhou to help Zhang Miao?"

Liu Qi said seriously: "I think you can try it. After all, Zhang Miao is not enough to be Cao Cao's opponent. If he wants to fight Cao Cao, he must have foreign aid."

"But, who should be sent to do this for the envoy?" asked Taishi Ci.

Liu Qi gently rubbed his temples with his hands, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "The messenger must be divided into two groups, and at the same time. Those who go to Liu Bei and Liu Yu must be wise men, while those who go to Zhang Miao must be famous men respected by Zhang Miao."

Kuai Liang said: "In my Jingzhou land, I have been cherry-like scholars from all over the world in recent years. It would be not difficult to choose a famous scholar who can convince Zhang Miao."

Liu Qi said gently, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll have a lot of choices for me, and I'll draw up a few candidates for me."

"promise."

...

After discussion, Liu Qi announced the dismissal of the account.

After leaving the commander's tent, Kuai Liang looked gloomy and walked out of the tent without saying a word, with a very gloomy expression.

Kuai Yue even felt that he could not keep up with his brother's speed.

"Brother, why do you have to go so fast?" Kuai Yue called out to Kuai Liang from behind.

Kuai Liang's speed did not stop at all, and he did not answer Kuai Yue.

Soon, Kuai Liang finally returned to his tent. He walked to the small table in the tent, with a tiled pot on it. He did not pour water from the inside, but picked it up directly, and raised the pots and fell into his throat with a "gudonggudong" in his throat.

When he was young, he saw Kuai Liang suddenly put the pot on the table and murmured: "Degui is dead, Cai Degui is dead..."

Kuai Yue followed Kuai Liang into the tent and was surprised to see the scene in front of him.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Kuai Liang turned around slowly and looked at Kuai Yue and said, "Everyone, Cai Degui was killed. The former leader of the five clans of Nanjun, I am now the only one left..."

After a pause, he saw him sighing long, "Do you think you can feel good in your heart for brother?"

Kuai Yue did not answer immediately, but just lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "How do you think about this, brother?"

Kuai Liang said: "The five tribes in Nanjun, I was once a member of Cai Degui, Zhang Fang, Bei Yu, and Su Dai. Since the attack on the Liu family in Shanyang, the clan leader of the five major clans has been destroyed. Four of them have been destroyed... I heard that some time ago, Huang Zu was also imprisoned by Liu Envoy, and Wei Yan replaced him. Now Cai Mao has been destroyed. Now, the elders of Nanjun clans are the only one left. Liu Envoy's power is gradually increasing. This son is no longer as concerned as Liu Jingzhou, and he has less affection for his actions... I am afraid..."

Kuai Yue said slowly: "Brother is afraid that from now on, the Cai family will decline from now on, and Liu envoy will attack our Kuai family?"

Kuai Liang closed his eyes, his tone trembled slightly: "It is hard to guarantee that this possibility will not be possible. Now you and I are both generals of the Central Army, and Qier is the head of the Fangling County. Among the older generation of the Kuai family, each has its own positions in Jingzhou. Who knows whether Liu Envoy will target Kuai's family?"

But Kuai Yue smiled, and he shook his head.

"The more I agree with what my brother said, the more I think about the problem, I just stand in the position of the leader of the Nanjun sect, but never consider it in the position of Liu Envoy."

Kuai Liang turned his head and looked at Kuai Yue.

But he heard Kuai Yue say in a deep voice: "If the aspirant of Liu is only a leader of Jingzhou, then the elder brother should indeed be worried about the Kuai family. But if he is to control him, the aspirant of the envoy will never be in Jingchu! There are many clans, aristocratic families, and family members in the world, especially the northward direction, the more numerous clans and family members will be. Once Liu expands, he will inevitably collide with the aristocratic families in various places. At that time, the profit will be distributed locally. How can Liu Jun not have aristocratic family and aristocratic family as a support? And the envoy started from Jingzhou, there is no doubt that the most fundamental core of the envoy is our local clan scholars in Jingzhou."

Kuai Yue's words made Kuai Liang feel a little calm.

"Yes, from the perspective of a county, my brother's vision is a bit shallow... Isn't there only Jingchu, the number of the aristocratic families in the world? Not to mention the distance, the number of Yuzhou clans that are close to our Jingzhou is far more than that of our Jingzhou."

Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "Actually, what I worry about is not what my brother thinks. What I think is the forces under Liu Envoy, and now they have taken shape. I am afraid that the more complicated it will be, the more complicated it will be."

"How complicated?" Kuai Liangqi said.

"In the years since Liu Jingzhou was in power, he supported two forces in Jingchu. One is the literati in the academy. If we talk about the number of students, our Jingzhou is already among the top of all states in the world. The other is the clan power of the Liu family in Shanyang. At present, except for Nanjun, the county magistrates and county magistrates of Jingnan counties are all responsible for the important tasks of the Liu family..."

Kuai Liang kept nodding.
