At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

This is a rare guest, a person from a big family like Kuai Yue came back to visit a bereaved dog like himself, it was really unexpected, Gan Ning hurried out to greet the guest.

"Mr. Kuai actually came to such a humble place like mine? I really never expected, Mr. Kuai, please."

Gan Ning welcomed Kuai Yue into his living room.

"The Gan family in Linjiang is still a noble family, so why should Xingba lower his status? It's just an ordinary visit and has no other intentions."

Kuai Yue followed Gan Ning to the living room with a smile, and after sitting down, he praised Gan Ning.

Gan Ning laughed awkwardly.

Now that I think about it, I am from the Linjiang Gan family, and I am also from a noble family. Where have I been in the past few years?Why don't you come to flatter me?

Now it's so kind.

Humanity is warm and cold.

In these years, the frivolous young man of those days has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and has become calm and secular.

In fact, Gan Ning vaguely guessed Kuai Yue's purpose, but he didn't say anything, he wanted to see what Kuai Yue had to say.

Kuai Yue took a sip of water and started talking.

"After hearing that General Huang and General Wen resigned, General Gan is now one of the most important generals in Jingzhou. The safety of the Kuai family depends entirely on General Gan's protection."

"Hahaha, I must, I must... Uh, Mr. Kuai came here for this matter?"

Gan Ning cupped his hands with a half-smile, and asked.

"Hahaha, of course it's not just for this matter."

Kuai Yue put down the water glass in his hand, cleared his throat, and said: "I don't know how Xingba views the current situation in the world. I'm very interested in Xingba's views, so I'm here to ask."

As soon as these words were uttered, Gan Ning knew what Kuai Yue's purpose was, and also knew that there must be a secret connection between Kuai Yue and Guo Peng, and he came here to win him over.

What a great opportunity...

Gan Ning felt relieved for no reason.

If you can take this opportunity to get in touch with Wei Guo...

Maybe there is a way out!

He has no loyalty to Liu Biao.

Leaving him in a small place that no one cares about for many years, I remembered that I was promoted, and the result was that I became a target of public criticism. I also wanted to introduce the army of the old master Liu Zhang who had betrayed in the past to Jingzhou, and I needed them to cooperate sincerely!

What's the difference between that and letting him die?

It was also Liu Biao who pushed him to rebel back then, and he almost made trouble afterwards!

loyalty?

Ha ha.

Gan Ning restrained his excitement, thought for a while, and chose his words a little.

"The situation in the world, is there anything else to say? Although I am only a military general, I am not an illiterate reckless man. The Han Dynasty is gone, and the emperor of Wei State in the north is also sitting on the throne. Right now, I am afraid that the distance between Is it not too far to rule the world? I wonder what Mr. Kuai thinks about it?"

Kuai Yue laughed.

"I didn't expect Xingba to have such a bottom line on the situation in the world. Hahahaha, okay, okay, Xingba is right. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor of Wei has decided to take action to calm down the south, including Jingzhou and Yizhou. His Majesty the Emperor of Wei must be pacified.

Right now, General Le Jin, the general of Wei State who conquers the South, has led [-] troops to defeat Nanyang County, General Zhu Ling of Shangyong County is ready to attack Xiangyang at any time, General Xu Huang of Lujiang County is ready to send troops to Jiangxia at any time, and the three-way army is ready , Seeing that troops are about to be dispatched, this war is about to start. "

"what?!"

Gan Ning was very surprised: "This is impossible! How is this possible?! If it is true, why is there no news in Jiangling City? If this situation is true, Jiangling City would have already been destroyed! The whole city must prepare for battle!"

"Of course it is true. It has also spread to Jiangling, but it has not reached the ears of Liu Shijun, General Gan and others."

Kuai Yue said with a smile: "Naturally, not many people know about it. The news is blocked. There are tens of thousands of people in Jiangling, and only a few people know about it. It just so happens that this is one of the people who knows."

"..."

Gan Ning was silent for a moment: "What is Mr. Kuai's intention in telling me this news? Can you speak up? I don't want to continue having such meaningless conversations with Mr. Kuai. It's a matter of life and death. Mr. Kuai forgive me."

Kuai Yue nodded with a smile on his face.

"I understand that if you can live, who wants to die? How good is life? Xingba, tell me, Liu Shijun distributed the army to you and his second grandson, and promoted Yiji to be the governor of Nanjun County. He is counting on the four of you. Will supporting Gongzi Qi as the lord of Jingzhou be successful?"

Gan Ning understood.

"It seems that Mr. Kuai knows exactly what Liu Shijun wants to do. Maybe there is no one around Liu Shijun who has recognized him for a long time. Is my guess right?"

"It can't be said that, all of us are Liu Shijun's own people, but in this matter, we have to think about ourselves. Liu Shijun is not like us. Our family has a big cause, and we are fighting together. How many generations of ancestors' hard work go to waste, who can bear this kind of thing?

Liu Shijun didn't think about these things, he thought it would be good to build after the battle, but it only takes three days to destroy a city, and I'm afraid three years is not enough to build a city. If you are not careful, it is the crime of copying your family and exterminating your family. "

Kuai Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "The general trend of the world has reached this point. The Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty are already what the people want. The trend of the general trend cannot be stopped, but some people think it can be stopped. There are people who are stubborn and stubborn, and facing such people, doesn't Xingba feel worried?"

"I'm very worried, but I don't know if Mr. Kuai can share my worries?"

Gan Ning sat up and poured a glass of water for Kuai Yue.

"I came here to relieve Xingba's worries. As long as Xingba is willing to cooperate with his subordinates, after Jingzhou is stabilized, Xingba must have a general who can serve in the army of His Majesty the Emperor of Wei."

"........."

Gan Ning was silent for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Kuai Yue, and said, "Mr. Kuai, when... have you been used by His Majesty the Emperor of Wei?"

chapter 794 the death of Liu Biao

Faced with Gan Ning's question, Kuai Yue sighed.

"It's not so long ago, it's just recently. The trend of the times, the direction of the people, we really can't have the slightest hesitation in our hearts. How can power struggles and national struggles be controlled by mere mortals like me? I can only say, we wait I have to think about the family."

Gan Ning took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and nodded.

"Why am I not here for this matter? Forget it, forget it, Mr. Kuai, how should I cooperate with you? Also, what should I do with Sun Fu, Sun Hao, and Yiji? You have also sent someone to contact you." ?"

"Sun Fu and Sun Hao are very difficult to instigate. They have enmity with Emperor Wei, and they don't have enmity with Liu Zhang like Xingba. Under all kinds of worries, it is difficult to make the right choice like Xingba.

Yi Ji is Liu Shijun's fellow villager, and he has a very close relationship with Liu Shijun. We have nothing to do with him, but don't worry, although they have military power in name, they are not. "

Kuai Yue's face was full of confidence.

Gan Ning also understood where Kuai Yue's self-confidence came from.

"How much of Jiangling's army can Mr. Kuai dispatch?"

"Naturally, they can easily deal with Sun Hao and Sun Fu, let alone Yi Ji. The combination of these three and Yi Ji cannot turn the situation around."

"That's good."

Gan Ning nodded, instead of continuing to ask about such matters, he continued to discuss the details of the action with Kuai Yue.

The action will probably start when Liu Biao dies.

The purpose is to allow Liu Cong to inherit Liu Biao's position and take the seat of the Lord of Jingzhou.

It is best to start all of this before the Wei army launches a full-scale offensive. If it starts before that, Liu Cong can be manipulated to make decisions that are in their interests.

After Liu Cong ascended the throne, Gan Ning had another important mission.

Kuai Yue hoped that Gan Ning could lead a navy to station in Yiling to resist Liu Zhang's reinforcements who were marching to Jingzhou.

In the whole plan, Liu Zhang's army is a special existence. It is best not to let them enter Jingzhou, so as to avoid complications.

After Liu Zhang received Liu Biao's request, he discussed with his subordinates.

Wu Yi and Wu Ban firmly supported Liu Biao's idea, and proposed that Wu Ban personally lead the army down the river to assist Liu Biao in Jiangling.

Ever since, Liu Zhang sent Wu Ban to lead 5000 men from both land and water armies to march towards Jiangling to join Liu Biao's army and assist Liu Biao in fighting Guo Peng.

Obviously, the plan to assist Liu Biao in fighting Guo Peng is already underway.

Liu Zhang's army has already arrived in Berkshire, and it will arrive in Jiangling in a month at most. This period is the most important period for Kuai Yue and Gan Ning, and Liu Zhang's army must not be allowed to come and disrupt the situation.

Gan Ning nodded.

No matter what idea or purpose, he is willing to compete with Liu Zhang.

Anyway, he is already a traitor, so are he afraid of fighting his old club again?

Besides, if he can't win the meritorious service to Emperor Wei by this, will the mighty Emperor Wei really accept him?

Some things depend on strength. He is a dog that loses his family, so he is really capable of bargaining with Emperor Wei?

Gan Ning silently made up his mind, this time, he must not lose the chain again.

Kuai Yue and Gan Ning had already discussed the details of the action, but Liu Biao really couldn't hold on anymore.

On April 23, the first year of Yande, Liu Biao's spirit suddenly became better, his complexion was ruddy, and he could even sit up and eat a bowl of porridge, so Liu Biao hurriedly called Liu Qi.

Liu Biao had already realized that his time was approaching, so he quickly called Liu Qi to his side, and then called Gan Ning, his second grandson, and Yi Ji to make final arrangements.

"After I die, don't send a funeral for the time being. You must immediately lead your troops to control Jiangling City. You must send troops to guard the city gates, main roads, government offices, and treasuries. Before the position, no one is allowed to communicate.

Especially the Kuai family and Cai Mao in Xiangyang should be strictly monitored. My youngest son Cong and my wife Cai, you should control them even more and send someone to take care of them.

With them as hostages, the Cai family would not dare to act rashly, and then inform Jiangxia Huangzu to lead his troops to Jiangling. Once Huangzu arrives, he can lift the blockade of Jiangling and send out funerals. Do you understand? "

Liu Biao took Liu Qi's hand and looked at Gan Ning and the other four.

The four of Gan Ning burst into tears.

"understood."

Liu Qi couldn't stop crying, knelt on the ground and held Liu Biao's hand with both hands: "Father, you are in good health, why do you have to explain such things in advance?"

"For the father's body, the father himself knows."

Liu Biao's eyes were very soft, and he stretched out his hand to caress Liu Qi's face: "My son, I'm sorry for my father, I can't leave you a stable country. After my father died, Lord Yifu, General Gan and the two grandchildren The general is your arm, and the army of Jiangling City is your foundation.

At any time, you can't relax your control over the army. Liu Zhang can come to help, but you can't let them occupy the magpie's nest. You must guard against them and control their military supplies. Huang Zu can be used as a help, but Huang Zu lacks consideration , cannot be entrusted with great things.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are too selfish and suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so they cannot be trusted. Huang Zhongwen hired Wang Wei, Huo Jun and others with ulterior motives and suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so they cannot be reused. Although Fu Xun is from the north, he has always been close to the Kuai family, so he cannot trust. "

Liu Qi's eyes were clouded with tears, and he was speechless about Jingzhou, who was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

It seems that Liu Biao also felt that the Jingzhou he left behind was a crisis-ridden Jingzhou. He was a little embarrassed and couldn't continue talking, so he could only look at Gan Ning and the others.

"After I die, I will entrust the three generals and Uncle Ji for everything."

"Yes."

The four of Gan Ning knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao grieved in his heart, and handed over the Chu King Seal and Jingzhou Mu's Seal to Yi Ji, and asked him to take charge of it on his behalf. After Liu Qi came to the throne, he handed over these things to Liu Qi, and then asked Liu Qi and Gan Ning to be enthroned. Prepare.

After making the arrangements, Liu Biao felt a little sleepy, so he dismissed everyone and fell asleep on the bed.

After falling asleep, Liu Biao never woke up again.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Biao passed away suddenly at the age of 60.

He happened to have lived a sixty-year-old, and in this era of bones everywhere, it can be said that he did not live a long life.

Died of illness before the chaos, before the arrival of the unpredictable future, it cannot be said to be unlucky.

Liu Qi did not leave Liu Biao's Prince Chu's mansion, and at Yi Ji's suggestion, he rested in a side room, ready to serve Liu Biao at any time.

Gan Ning and his second grandson also agreed with Yi Ji that Gan Ning would be in charge of Jiangling City, Sun Hao would be in charge of the infantry barracks outside the city, Sun Fu would be in charge of the navy camp by the river, and Yi Ji would be in charge of the Chu Palace. , Immediately blockade Jiangling City from both land and water, and spread the news to Huang Zu.

It seems that the mechanism left by Liu Biao is running perfectly without any problems.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case in reality.

That night, Liu Qi was so worried that he didn't sleep well, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. It felt like he hadn't slept for a long time, but he was suddenly awakened by a burst of crying.

Liu Qi woke up in a daze, and opened the door of the room in a daze.

"My lord, are you awake?"

A man who looked like a military officer was guarding the door with a few Jingzhou soldiers in full armor, with a white cloth scarf tied on his head. When he saw Liu Qi woke up, he laughed.

"His Royal Highness King Chu is taking care of the funeral for the late king in the palace. He told the humble official that the young master is awake and can go to the mourning hall immediately."
