Chapter 415: The Curve Saves the Nation

"Jingzhou Liu Biao, Jingzhou Liu Biao, what exactly should he do!" Liu Mang was simply scratching his head. During the banquet a few days ago, Liu Mang talked about the confucians, which made the Pang Shanmen vomit blood. He also praised Liu Biao so much that he almost pulled Liu Mang to his disciples. The two sides also negotiated well on the matter of food and grass. It was agreed that Liu Biao would sell 100,000 stones of food and grass to help Liu Mang first. Although it was three times the market price, Liu Mang didn't care. Who made Liu Mang have more money? But now the matter is said well has changed its mind.

If only the price is increased, Liu Mang doesn't care. At most, Liu Biao is just greedy, but now he is just perfunctory, saying that he has no food and grass in Jingzhou, and he also has to support the battle in Jiangxia ahead. It's okay to sell food and grass! He didn't say he didn't sell it, but you have to climb to one or two months because the food and grass must be supplied to the Jiangxia front line first.

Time, time, what Liu Mang lacks the most is time. If you wait for a month or two, then wait to collect the body in Yangzhou! There will definitely be a riot.

But now Liu Biao in Jingzhou asked Liu Mang to wait. Is this forcing Liu Mang to die?

Why did Liu Mang come to Jingzhou for the sake of food and grass? Otherwise, the lord of his state would have been foolishly running to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao, and he was really a gathering with Liu Biao? He has been treated as hostages by others.

"Someone must have interfered with it!" Liu Mang said gritting his teeth. Otherwise, if Liu Biao really didn't want to sell food and grass, he wouldn't have agreed so easily that day. Just beat you Liu Mang.

"Lord, lord, it's found out, it's found out!" Just as Liu Mang was thinking, the old fox Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe ran over there, holding a note in his hand and shouted at Liu Mang.

"I found out? Who is it?" Liu Mang opened the note and looked at the information on it. They were all people who visited Liu Biao's mansion these days, including Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, some people from the Huang family, and even Mr. Shui Jing appeared in this note, very detailed.

Such intelligence is not enough to rely solely on Yang Hong in Yangzhou. Such intelligence is cooperated by the three companies, including the intelligence organization of the Lu Bu army of Chen Gong and Chen, as well as Yang Hong's Jinyiwei, as well as the intelligence organization under Jia Xu and Jia Wen and Zhang Xiu.

If this old fox hadn't been almost dead in Luokoudu last time, the old fox might have kept hiding the matter of this intelligence organization, but for the sake of his life, he also told Liu Mang about the original Nanyang Intelligence Bureau.

In order to retaliate against the old fox, Liu Mang named the intelligence organization in Jia Xu's hands Dongchang! This Changyiwei plus Chen Gong's Lu Bujun intelligence can obtain the note in his hands so thoroughly.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are basically impossible. It would be possible for these two people to commit fraud long ago, and they would not need to make trouble when Liu Mang was about to buy it. Even if some people in the Huang family had hatred with Liu Mang, it would be difficult to convince Liu Biao to change anything! As for Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue was a neutral faction and had no good feelings for Liu Mang. On the contrary, it was impossible. Kuai Liang still had a good impression of Liu Mang. Last time he told Liu Mang to ask Liu Mang to greet Yang Hong. So it was impossible. The others were some miscellaneous fish. Liu Mang didn't need to know him, and he had never been outstanding on the original trajectory. Could it be that he would change if he came again!

"Finished, found!" Liu Mang finally found a person who was most troublesome from the name above. "Yuzhou military advisor didn't control Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan!"

Little Turkey!! Liu Mang suddenly put down the letter paper in his hand because it was written that Pang Tong left with a scolding Liu Biao. Later, he stayed on Liu Biao's mansion for a whole afternoon, and finally left the Texas Muslim Mansion at night.

"I'm careless, I'm careless!" Liu Mang was really having a headache holding his head. He originally thought that borrowing food was a sure thing, because of Liu Mang's arrival, Pang Tong could not play a drama of killing the envoy. Moreover, Liu Biao's problems and sincerity in coming from Pang Tong will definitely be easy to discuss, because as long as Liu Mang is here, even if Lu Bu's army is strong, he will have to be concerned.

But it was obvious that Liu Mang was careless. Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan didn't know what "miyao" they had promoted to Liu Biao and Liu Jing, but Liu Biao changed his mind in an instant, which made Liu Mang very passive now.

Liu Mang didn't know that Pang Tong said a few words on the mansion of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. First, it was that a powerful Yangzhou Liu Mang army was not in line with the interests of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Only when the two strong forces fought against each other could Liu Biao make a profit.

The second is the issue of Liu Mang as a hostage. Whether it is the Liu Mang army in Yangzhou or the Lu Bu army in Lujiang, they are all one. Their lord belongs to Lu Bu Lujiang. Although Liu Mang is a hostage in Jingzhou, the lord of Lu Bu army is still there and there is no way to change it. At most, an excellent general came to Jingzhou to negotiate with him Liu Biao.

As for what Liu Biao said that Liu Mang was Lu Bu's only heir, that's even more a joke. You, Liu Biao, could have a second spring in your fifties and gave birth to his youngest son Liu Zong. Could it be that Lu Bu cannot be! Liu Biao was also married to Cai Mao's sister Mrs. Cai because of his age and the complexity of the Jingzhou gentry, one of the endings was that he was Liu Biao, who was just such a wife, while Lu Bu had the eldest wife, Mrs. Ren, and Mrs. Cao, the daughter of Cao Bao. It can be said that these women are all beautiful women, so how could they not have children?

Once a child is born, how effective is Liu Mang's status? You, Liu Biao, sell food and grass to Yangzhou, strengthen the Lu Bu army. Once Lu Bu becomes stronger and destroys Liu Bei's army and becomes the overlord of the Central Plains, then the first unlucky one is Liu Biao, and the hostages in your hands are useless.

Another point is that Lu Bu’s reputation was really bad. The slaves of the three surnames were a person who did not abide by the noun, and Lu Bu was a little polite person before. Otherwise, old people like Hao Meng and Hou Cheng would not have betrayed Lu Bu. Lu Bu even wanted to send his daughter out for Xuzhou. He didn’t even care about his daughter, but also a son-in-law!

These words touched Liu Biao, but Liu Biao still wanted to struggle. In the end, Pang Tong blocked Liu Biao with one sentence, that is, Pang Tong didn't need the food and grass from Jingzhou. In exchange, Liu Biao could not sell food and grass to Yangzhou, which was a kind of ending where everyone died together. The two weak neighbors were much better than the two powerful neighbors, and Liu Biao finally agreed. This led to the huge problem of Liu Mang buying food and grass.

"No, I want to see Liu Biao again!" Liu Mang thought deeply. He had no other way, so he could only find Liu Biao and hoped that Liu Biao could sell food and grass.

"Lord, lord" Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe stretched out his arm to stop Liu Mang. "Lord. There is no need to go to the palace of the governor of Jingzhou Prefecture! Going will only bring shame on yourself!" Jia Xu is a virgin. Since the other party has given you excuses, it means that the other party is already having an objection to yours. You may encounter a rejection like Pang Tong. Pang Tong can shout loudly and scold Liu Biao, but Liu Mang cannot, Pang Tong can be shameless. Liu Mang cannot. Liu Mang has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness! Is it ruined all the reputation he had finally obtained for this military ration?

"But if you don't go, what can I do?" Liu Mang also knew that he might still be the kind of perfunctory person who went there, and he was too lazy to even be perfunctory. In the end, if Liu Mang turned against him, it would not be any benefit to Liu Mang, but this is the only way that Liu Mang could think of.

"It's not impossible!" Jia Xu thought for a while and said.

"Is there a way?" Liu Mang's eyes suddenly lit up and grabbed Jia Xu's arm. He unconsciously used force.

"Let go, let go!" Jia Xu hurriedly broke free. It was dangerous to be with this lord every day. "Lord, there is this method, but it may be very difficult!"

"Difficult?" Liu Mang heard what Jia Xu said. Not only was he not defeated by the word "difficulty", but he snorted coldly, "Wenhe. Isn't it difficult for us to come to Jingzhou? Isn't it difficult for us to survive in Luokoudu? Is it difficult for us to have a life here? Is it still difficult for us to care about whether it is difficult!"

"Okay, since the lord said this, Wenhe has nothing to say!" Jia Xu also looked at Liu Mang with a smile. "Lord, when you go to see Liu Biao now, it will definitely be half the result with twice the effort. Liu Biao and was convinced, it is difficult to believe what we say!" Jia Xu knew very well. In a person's preconceived situation, if you explain at this time, it would be impossible. For example, if someone said you were a thief, if you explained on the spot, everyone would think you were guilty or something else. The explanation at this time was pale.

"Since we cannot find Liu Biao directly, we can save the country in a straight line!" Jia Xu continued to speak.

"Save the country in a curve?!" Liu Mang didn't understand. How could Liu Biao be the lord of Jingzhou with a curve? Could it be that he bought and sold food and grass from other gentry members? It was completely impossible. Even if those gentry members wanted to sell, Liu Biao would not let the food and grass be transported out. After all, Liu Mang bought hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass, and the grain transport ships needed had to be hundreds of ships. How could he transport them secretly?

Hearing what Liu Mang said, Jia Xu shook his head with a smile, "The food and grass in Jingzhou are all in Liu Biao's hands!" The reason why Liu Biao was able to inform Jingzhou and slowly clarify the complex relationship between the gentry in Jingzhou was because of the food and grass. Liu Biao had already established legal provisions. Even if the sale of grain and grass for more than ten stones is a serious crime, it may be a beheaded, and both the gentry and individuals must abide by it.

This was why the grain and grass in Jingzhou were not leaked out of Jingzhou, so that so many people in Jingzhou could support so many Jingzhou people. Even in the Great Wilderness, Liu Biao could take out the grain and grass to provide disaster relief.

"That curve means saving the country?!" Liu Mang seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

"We can't defend ourselves, so ask others for help!" Jia Xu said his thoughts. He said before that Liu Mang is now like a thief in front of Liu Biao. Even though he didn't steal things, someone told Liu Biao that Liu Mang is a thief, and Liu Biao had his preconceived ideas.

Liu Mang's explanation is not only uncomprehensible, but may even be misunderstood. In order to get rid of the reputation of this thief, there are only two ways to find physical evidence to prove himself. The second is to find human evidence to prove to everyone that Liu Mang is not a thief.

This physical evidence is difficult to find, but this evidence is OK. As long as someone is found to say good things about Liu Mang in front of Liu's surface and say good things about Yangzhou Army, Liu Biao will naturally improve his impression of Liu Mang and eliminate the previous preconceived impression of Pang Tong.

"There is someone in Jingzhou who can speak for me?" Liu Mang thought for a while. This person first wanted to be kind to Liu Mang, and secondly, if he could speak in front of Liu Biao, and Liu Biao would trust someone.

"Kuai Liang, Kuai Zirou?" Liu Mang's first thought of Kuai Liang. Kuai Zirou was the first person in Jingzhou to show kindness to Liu Mang. Kuai Liang has always hoped that Jingzhou could join forces with Yangzhou and fight side by side. After all, they had an enemy that they figured out. And Liu Da'er also gave Kuai Liang a very bad impression, the person who annexed his allies.

"Kuai Zirou is not a good man!" Jia Xu shook his head. Kuai Liang was indeed able to say something in front of Liu's surface, and Liu Biao would also listen. He was even the second military advisor in Jingzhou, and he was kind to Yangzhou, but Kuai Liang could not do it now.

Because Kuai Liang was so kind, from the beginning, he had labeled him as a relative of Yangzhou in the eyes of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. How could such a person who is close to Yangzhou say bad things about Liu Mang? Moreover, even if Liu Mang didn't go to find Kuai Liang, Kuai Liang would help himself, although this may be helping him out.

Before Liu Mang could ask questions, Jia Xu began to say, "Those who can speak are Kuai Yue and Kuai, Jingzhou military advisor Cai Mao and Cai Degui, and one person is Pang Degong from the Lumen Academy of Pang Family!"

Liu Mang smiled bitterly when he heard the three names Jia Xu said. None of these three people is a good person to meet. Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu are not Kuai Liang, he is just a neutral faction who doesn't want to interfere with, and neither party wants to offend him. Do you think he can say good things to Liu Mang? If he wanted to help, he would have helped long ago.

Cai Mao, Cai Degui, and Liu Mang didn’t know when they offended him. Cai Mao is now deeply hostile to Liu Mang. Liu Mang no longer expects him to say good things. It would be a good thing if he doesn’t slander Liu Mang!

As for the Duke Pang De of Lumen Academy! Haha! Liu Mang shook his head even harder. It was only in the past two days that Liu Mang knew that he was talking about the road on the Mu Mansion of Jingzhou Prefecture. He was almost sprayed to death by him. He almost killed his son. In addition, Liu Mang didn't say anything, that was the little turkey that made Liu Mang embarrassed everywhere, and that was Pang Degong's nephew.

Under the circumstances and reason, it is difficult for Liu Mang to invite such a great god.

"Did the lord give up so easily? Alas! If I had known, Xu would not say anything! A waste of words!" Jia Xu immediately mocked Liu Mang when he saw this.

"Yes, how could I give up so easily!" Liu Mang was stunned when he heard what Jia Xu said. They had been through so many ups and downs, but they still care about this? Isn't it just to convince these people to say good things to him in front of Liu's surface? Is it still harder than going to the battlefield to die? Liu Mang calmed down and said, "Wenhe, don't keep it in a silence, just say all the words!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but nodded. Liu Mang's attitude of not giving up was the one that Jia Xu admired the most. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the kind of undying heart. Liu Mang has this mentality. As long as you don't kill me, Liu Mang, I will settle the score with you sooner or later.

"Lord, although Kuai Yue and Kuai are neutral, can this be neutral if he wants to be neutral?!" Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe snorted coldly. He had a natural hostility towards Kuai Yue, because these two were old foxes. When the old fox met the old fox, they would naturally rebuke each other with the same sex.

"Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu are afraid of being too close to his lord, and offend the Huang Pang and Cai family! But he didn't know that in fact, he had offended these three families. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he must have complained secretly! The reason for this is his younger brother Kuai Liang and Kuai Zirou!"

"Wenhe is talking about starting from Kuai Zirou!"

"Of course, lord, you can send an invitation to invite Kuai Zirou to the banquet. After that, you will invite his elder brother to come in the name of Kuai Zirou. If lord is not very difficult, you can post an invitation to the Jingzhou. Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu are also the guest of the lord's seat! Even if Kuai Yue is not very willing, he can't explain it clearly. The three of them become tigers!" Jia Xu and Jia Wen and he plotted against Kuai Yue as if they were good.

"Three people become tigers? Coercion and temptation?!" A glimmer flashed in Liu Mang's eyes. Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe were really an old fox. There was an undercurrent in Jingzhou. Neutral? There was no neutral existence in this place. Either in Pang Tong's side, or Liu Mang's place, or they were just waiting for both sides to plot against you!

"Okay, a good way! What about Cai Mao and Cai Degui below Wenhe? This person took on the hatred before he met. Cai Degui was also part of Cai Degui when he went to Jingzhou!" Liu Mang expressed his concerns. What kind of enemy is the most annoying thing about it. It is that you don't know when you offend others. He is the enemy of you. Liu Mang wants to expose his hatred with Cai Mao, but Liu Mang doesn't know where he offended Cai Mao!

"Cai Degui?" Jia Xu pondered for a long time. Cai Mao, Cai Degui, likes money, and wants to be very happy with merit!" After thinking about it, Jia Xu shook his head again. "Liu Mang has money, and there are quite a lot of money. Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Yuan Shu gave Liu Mang all the savings of decades. However, bribing Cai Mao is not a good plan, because Cai Mao himself is the military advisor of Jingzhou, and can be regarded as Liu Biao's left arm and right arm. Jingzhou is not worse than Yangzhou, and even has a deeper foundation. What kind of jewelry does Cai Mao have like before! Naturally, it is difficult to bribe, and the great joy of merit over there is related to military achievements. Now the only war in Jingzhou is Jiangxia. Liu Mang has no ability to help Jingzhou defeat Jiangdong. Jiangxia military advisor Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou is a monster.

"Cai Mao and Cai Degui are not allowed, but we can start with his sister!" Jia Xu continued to say, "After Cai's sister, Mrs. Cai, married Liu Biao, the brother and sister can be regarded as supporting the entire Cai family. The two of them have a good contact. If the lord can convince Mrs. Cai, she can definitely convince Cai Mao!"

"Madam Cai?!" Jia Xu's thoughts were simply imaginative, and it was even more difficult for Cai Mao to solve this Madam Cai. And wasn't Madam in this state palace? Liu Mang couldn't even say that Madam Cai would be there when he saw Liu Biao.

"No!" Jia Xu retorted, "Lord, Mrs. Cai does not live in the provincial and ministers' mansion every day." Mrs. Cai likes to play the piano and also likes quietness. For the sake of her wife and sister, Liu Biao and Cai Mao specially bought a yard for Mrs. Cai in this quiet place in Jingzhou. She can pick chrysanthemums and see the southern mountains leisurely. It is very beautiful! And Mrs. Cai lives there for several days every month, which gives Liu Mang a chance!

"Does the lord still need to teach her when dealing with women?" Jia Xu blinked at Liu Mang frivolously.

"You!" Liu Mang pointed at Jia Xu and couldn't speak! If Liu Mang could deal with women, he would not have to be so afraid of the tigresses of his family. Last time, he was almost torn by the tigresses of his family because of this old fox. However, for the great cause of Yangzhou, Liu Mang also had to fight!

"The last one is this Pang Degong!" Jia Xu frowned. He really had no way to do this Pang Degong!

"Master, I'm just a guess. Maybe we can start with this Tang Yun!"
