Chapter 251 The mysterious lobbyist—Xu Shu of Yingchuan!
Outside the governor's mansion, in the alley.

Cai Mao, who had just gotten into the carriage, found that his carriage broke down.

"Brother Yidu, can you give me a ride?"

Kuai Yue naturally knew that Cai Mao had something to say to him, and nodded: "That's what I wish for!"

The carriage started moving and drove out of the central street in front of the governor's mansion. Cai Mao frowned slightly and said, "Brother Yidu, why didn't you take the opportunity to refuse Liu Bei's entry into Jingzhou?"

"Liu Bei and Liu Biao are both descendants of the Han Dynasty. If they unite, how will Cao Gong stand a chance?"

"Or do you have other ideas in the Yidu? Does the Kuai family have other ideas?"

Kuai Yue said calmly, "Brother Degui, don't you think you've gone too far today?"

"You have a good personal relationship with Cao Gong, so this matter cannot be hidden from the eyes of the governor. Although you have changed Cao Gong's intentions in a few ways, the traces are too obvious. The governor has already noticed you."

"If I join you in opposing Liu Bei's entry into Jingxiang, it will only make both of us lose trust."

"Don't forget that since Wen Pin and Huang Zhong were promoted, the influence of our two families in the army has been weakening year by year."

"If Huang Zhong and Wen Pin had gone to the Battle of Runan and never returned, we would have had the final say in Jingxiang, but now..."

"The more obvious we jump out, the more likely we will be targeted by Liu Biao in advance."

"If Liu Biao really kills Cao Gong before he arrives, can you and I withstand it?"

The anger on Cai Mao's face faded, and he slapped his forehead with a look of fear: "Yes, yes, I was too anxious."

"Everything will have to wait until Cao Gong enters the city before we can make any plans."

"But with Liu Bei, this is too much of a variable. I'm afraid of death."

Kuai Yue waved his hand and said: "It is best to fish in troubled waters. The more people there are, the better it will be for Lord Cao."

"We shouldn't do anything in the next two days. The more we move, the more we'll be exposed. The best strategy is to stay the same in the face of change."

Cai Mao nodded slowly, remained silent for a long time, and looked at Kuai Yue solemnly: "Brother Yidu, I wonder what your Kuai family's position is?"

"What on earth do you think, Brother Zirou?"

"We have known each other for many years, but please don't cheat me at the critical moment."

Kuai Yue said calmly: "If I was thinking about Liu Biao, why would I have stopped you just now?"

"When the lips and teeth are gone, we are all in danger. For the past few decades, our two families have worked together to deal with all the troubles. How could I deliberately deceive your Cai family?"

Cai Mao laughed: "Okay!"

"Brother Yidu, having said this, it would be hurtful if I say more. Let's drink together some other day. I'll treat you!!"

After seeing Cai Mao off, Kuai Yue returned home with a heavy brow.

At this moment, he finally understood the content of the conversation between him and his brother Kuai Liang half a month ago.

In the backyard, Kuai Yue had just entered the courtyard and had not yet spoken when he saw that in addition to his brother, there was another young man in the pavilion.

"Yidu, come here quickly, we have a distinguished guest coming to our house today."

Kuai Yue took a step forward, looked at the young face, recalled the person he had seen in his mind, and said with a smile: "Please forgive my poor eyesight. I don't know where this distinguished guest came from."

The young man bowed and said, "Yingchuan Xu Yuanzhi!"

Kuai Yue was stunned, obviously not familiar with this name.

Kuai Liang introduced him: "Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, you should know Mr. Pang Degong, right?"

"This person is his student, and he came here on orders."

Kuai Yue suddenly realized: "No wonder my brother calls me a distinguished guest, it's true."

"In Jingxiang, there are not many people who can be valued by Mr. Shuijing and Mr. Pang Degong."

"I wonder why Brother Yuanzhi came here today?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Come here to find a way out for the Han Dynasty!" "The Han Dynasty's hundreds of years of foundation cannot be destroyed in the hands of our generation."

Kuai Yue showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "I didn't expect that Pang Degong and Sima Hui, who never asked about government affairs, would actually care about world affairs."

"It's just that the governor we serve now is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. There is no emperor in the world now, and there is no orthodoxy. With our support, he will support the Han Dynasty one day, and he will be the orthodoxy."

"Aren't we also trying to find a way out for the Han?"

"Or in these troubled times, did Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui and Mr. Pang De have other ideas?"

Kuai Liang raised the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes when he looked at his younger brother Kuai Yue.

Xu Shu looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Brother Zirou, does what you just said still count?"

"As long as we can convince your brother, will you lend us a helping hand?"

Kuai Liang took a sip of tea and said, "The head of the Kuai family is Kuai Yue now. How can I disobey the orders of the head of the family?"

Xu Shu laughed loudly: "Great! That's great!"

"Brother Yidu, I know that the Cai family has decided to submit to Cao Cao and offer Jingxiang, but this is not the best solution."

"Cao Cao is not a descendant of the Han Dynasty. It is impossible for him to unite the heroes of the world to fight against Ye Feng."

"Even if you succeed by chance, this method can only be used once."

"Liu Yao of Yangzhou and Liu Yan of Yizhou, with this incident before them, how could they be fooled?"

"It's easy to offer Jingxiang to Cao Cao, but it's much more difficult to unite Yangzhou and Yizhou to fight against Ye Feng across the river."

"So even if you succeed, and Ye Feng comes south to attack, the land of Jingxiang will not be able to stop him."

"By then, the world will truly fall into Ye Feng's hands."

"Occupy Jing and Xiang, train the navy, and Yizhou and Yangzhou will be the meat on the chopping board, and you can devour them at will."

There was a hint of shock in Kuai Liang's eyes. He did not expect Xu Shu's analysis to be so accurate, exactly the same as his brother's analysis two days ago.

This person is young, but his vision and knowledge are even better than his.

After calming down, Kuai Liang said, "Brother Yuanzhi's analysis is certainly correct."

"But besides Cao Cao, what other options are there?"

"We four know Liu Zhoumu's character very well. Even my brother, who worked so hard for him, was afraid of him and had no choice but to withdraw from the political stage of Jingxiang and hand over the power of the family to me."

"Even if we are loyal assistants, how can there be a good result?"

"Or do you already have a candidate for the leader?"

"Now that we've come to this, we might as well get straight to the point. Anyway, once we leave this door, there's no way what we said today will get out. But it doesn't matter if we say it!"

Xu Shu said: "Liu Bei of Yuzhou!"

"Liu Bei?"

Kuai Yue was not too surprised, and said calmly: "Liu Bei is of course a royal family, but his status and reputation are far inferior to Liu Biao. Now he only has 10,000 or 20,000 people. With such a small number of people, not only can he not deal with Liu Biao, but even Cao Cao cannot do it."

"The next Jingxiang is the Dragon and Tiger Society. What can he do in this situation?"

"If his brother-in-law hadn't died, he might have had some capital, but now..."

"I can't figure out Liu Bei's chances of winning, no matter how hard I try."

"If you can't even get Jingxiang, let alone the future, what can you do even if you have the status of a royal family?"

"There are more than a thousand people in my Kuai family. We can't just die in vain!"

"If Brother Yuanzhi has nothing to say, I will send you away today!"
