Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 557 Kuai Yue's Decision

Shizong is the courtesy name of Liu Xian, the deputy governor.

When Liu Xian heard Liu Biao ask this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "General, I will tell you the truth."

Liu Biao said coldly: "Speak."

Liu Xian sighed and said, "In this situation, we can't defeat the five great clans at all."

"What's more, the five great clans have joined forces with Zhao Li."

"Don't even mention fighting them. They didn't kill us because they were concerned about their reputation."

"General, we were wrong from the beginning."

"General, you rode alone into Jingzhou, seemingly enjoying great success. You poisoned the heads of the major families at a banquet, leaving them leaderless. Then you united the troops of the five major families and quickly swept across Jingzhou and pacified it."

"However, the destruction of the major aristocratic families led to the rise of the five great families."

“Now, they have become a phenomenon.”

"Even if we are unwilling, we have to admit it."

"There is no regret medicine in this world."

"I think the most urgent thing is to take the initiative to contact Yuan Shao in Hebei or Cao Cao in Xudu and submit to one of them."

"This move will definitely catch the five great clans off guard."

"General, you took the initiative to submit, so your contribution is the greatest."

"Do the five great families dare to rebel against Cao Cao or Yuan Shao of Hebei?"

"impossible."

"The five great families seem to be in great glory, but in fact they are just a bunch of fence-sitters."

"They acted recklessly in the face of weak generals."

"But in front of the powerful Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they dared not say a word!"

When Liu Biao heard what his deputy Liu Xian said, he clenched his hands under his sleeves instantly.

His face still looked calm, but he was filled with murderous intent in his heart.

He had always regarded Liu Xian as a loyal minister, but he never expected that he would ask him to submit to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao!
Why?
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were just ministers.

They are all Dong Zhuo!

I am the royal relative of the Han Dynasty!

Seeing that Liu Biao did not respond, Liu Xian just lowered his head and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

It's out of play.

Although Liu Biao was very ambitious, he did not have the ability.

Still stubborn.

Liu Biao was secretly angry for a while, but when he saw that Liu Xian didn't say anything else, he didn't bother to even look at him again.

He now feels disgusted when he looks at Liu Xian!
This Liu Xian betrayed me!
Liu Biao looked at Huang Zhong and asked, "Han Sheng, what do you think?"

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "No matter what the general chooses, I will stand on his side."

"I am already old, and my only son died early, so I have no offspring."

"Now I am still alive just to repay the general's kindness."

Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction.

When his eyes fell on Zhou Buzhi standing beside Liu Xian, Liu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Tong Yan Wuji.

Zhou Buyi is a child prodigy, maybe he can come up with some good ideas!

Moreover, children speak without restraint.

Even though Zhou Buzhi was a child prodigy, he was still a child. His heart was not that complicated and he just said what he had to say.

Liu Biao smiled and asked, "Buyi, tell me, in this situation, what do you think I should do?"

Zhou Buyi raised his head and looked at his uncle Liu Xian beside him.

Liu nodded first.

Zhou Buzhi then said to Liu Biao: "My lord, I think we should surrender to Cao Cao."

Liu Biao's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Zhou Buyi said, "We have been defending Jingzhou. Over the years, we have been fighting with Zhang Xian in Changsha, but we have not been able to take Changsha."

"It's not that you are incompetent, lord. It's that you are constrained by the five great clans."

"In this case, why not surrender to Cao Cao, who is closer to us? Cao Cao will surely greatly appreciate your contribution in surrendering, and will also reward you for your status as a relative of the Han Dynasty by giving you a high position and generous salary."

"The five great clans are as cowardly as mice. They only dare to bully the lord who has not yet established a firm foothold, and they dare not bully Cao Cao."

"And we are closer to Cao Cao in Xudu."

"Once we take action, the five great clans will definitely not be able to stop us."

Zhou Buyi continued to talk non-stop and had more to say.

Liu Biao raised his hand, waved it, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, you go and rest!"

Zhou Buyi looked at Liu Xian again. Liu Xian forced a smile and pulled Zhou Buyi away.

Huang Zhong followed closely behind.

It was not until the three people disappeared for a long time that Liu Biao swept away all the items on the table in front of him.

His face was hideous.

surrender?

Surrender to Cao Cao or Hebei?
He doesn't want to surrender to anyone!

He is a relative of the Han royal family.

His surname is Liu!
He wants to support the Han Dynasty!

However, why is there no useful person around me?
Why is this happening!

Liu Pan, who was guarding the door, heard the noise inside, frowned, and was about to push the door open.

But then a figure walked out of the night.

It turned out to be Kuai Yue!
Liu Pan quickly stepped aside.

Kuai Yue pushed the door open and went in, then closed it again.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Kuai Yue sighed, picked up the broom and helped to clean up, and said softly: "My lord, why are you so angry? What did Liu Xian and Huang Zhong say just now that made you angry?"

Liu Biao came back to his senses, walked quickly to Kuai Yue, grabbed his shoulders and said, "Yidu, that guy Liu Xian, he actually advised me to surrender to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao!"

"They actually advised me to surrender to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao!"

"I am a relative of the Han Dynasty!"

"My last name is Liu!"

"They want to surrender two ungrateful bastards from the Liu family to me!"

Kuai Yue stopped cleaning the room and looked at Liu Biao, his eyes carefully scanning Liu Biao's ferocious face.

He felt very sad.

When Liu Biao broke into Jingzhou, he followed his brother Kuai Liang to assist him and helped him take over the entire Jingzhou and eliminate the chaos caused by the clan bandits in Jingzhou.

However, his abilities were ultimately mediocre.

And unable to conquer all directions.

When he was eliminating the clan thieves, he gave all his power to the five major families, which led to the current situation.

Now, how easy is it to take back power?
The Cai family occupied Nanjun.

The Huang family occupied Jiangxia.

The Pang family occupied Xiangyang.

The Xi family’s descendants are spread all over Jingzhou.

The living space given to Liu Biao was very small.

Perhaps, surrendering to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao of Hebei is really the only way out.

But he never said it.

Facing Liu Biao's almost crazy gaze, Kuai Yue hesitated and said, "Maybe, there is another way."

Liu Biao's eyes lit up, and he shook Kuai Yue's shoulders excitedly and said, "Speak!"

Kuai Yue said: "General, the reason why you cannot break free from the control of the five great clans is mainly because you do not have a great talent who can truly lead troops in battle."

"Liu Pan is reckless."

"Huang Zhong is old and not famous enough."

"Huo Jun, Wei Yan and their ilk are too young."

"Now, there is one person who, if used well, may be able to break the situation."

Liu Biao suppressed his excitement and asked, "Who?"

Kuai Yue said: "Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who is currently in Nanyang looking for talents."

Liu Biao: “.”

After a while, he said, "Let me think about it."

Kuai Yue put down the broom, looked deeply at Liu Biao, bowed, and then left.

After closing the door, Kuai Yue rode his warhorse alone into the night.

A cool breeze blew, and he shrank his neck. He said quietly, "Brother, it's not that I violated your will and was unwilling to assist him, or even betray him. It's just that he is really old and hesitant."

"Jingzhou can no longer be saved."

"For the sake of my Kuai family, I can only be a little selfish."

He rode his horse to a mansion.

There is a plaque hanging on the lintel of the mansion.

The words "Chen Mansion" are written on the plaque.

Kuai Yue looked up at the gate of Chen's mansion and hesitated for a long time before he dismounted and walked forward leading the horse.
