    Kuai Yue felt depressed. Damn it, what do you want to say?  At the same time, Kuai Yue deeply felt that he was really not suitable as an envoy.  He is good at military strategy.

    But when it comes to politics, his brother Kuai Liang is good at it.  If his brother was allowed to come, maybe he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed along the way, and he could even convince Liu Zhe to form an alliance.

    "It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, and Kuai Yue can only listen to what Guo Jia has to say next.

    "Brother Yidu, is there a shortage of horses in Jingzhou?" Guo Jia asked Kuai Yue.

    Jingzhou is located in the south and has experienced far fewer wars than the Central Plains. There have been no major turmoils. Therefore, Jingzhou is the most prosperous state except the place under Liu Zhe's rule.

    And taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, it took in many northern refugees and had a sufficient population.

    Wealthy and well-populated, Jingzhou has sufficient military resources, no shortage of weapons and supplies, and its strength ranks among the best in the world.

    However, no matter how wealthy Jingzhou is, there is one thing that cannot be obtained on a large scale, and that is war horses.

    In fact, not only Jingzhou, but also the horse-producing places in the north are controlled by Liu Zhe. It is also difficult for other states to obtain war horses on a large scale.  Therefore, except for Liu Zhe, the other princes were extremely short of supplies for war horses.

    Even if Liu Zhe opened the horse trade, only Cao Cao would get it first. Most of the horses bought and sold fell into Cao Cao's hands, leaving only a few for other princes.

    Jingzhou is rich, and if you can spend a lot of money, you can still buy a large number of war horses.  But Liu Biao had lost his ambition. He only wanted to protect his own three acres of land and was not very interested in competing for world hegemony.

    Therefore, Jingzhou is extremely short of war horses.  Except for Liu Biao's important subordinates, not many people had their own mounts.  As for the cavalry troops, there is not even one.

    ??There are ships in the south and horses in the north. Jingzhou is in the south, close to the Yangtze River, and the territory is densely covered with rivers. It doesn't matter if there are not many war horses.

    However, when Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao twice, Cao Cao's eyes began to move from the north to the south, and he sharpened his sword and prepared for revenge.

    Jingzhou¡¯s shortcomings of lack of war horses were infinitely magnified.

    The only people who can deal with cavalry are cavalry.

    Cao Cao¡¯s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the strongest cavalry besides Liu Zhe¡¯s Black Scale Army.

    Liu Bian¡¯s current men alone will definitely be beaten until they cry for father and mother and piss themselves off if they face the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

    As an important confidant of Liu Biao, Kuai Yue also saw this issue very clearly.

    In fact, when he went to Youzhou as an envoy, in addition to forming an alliance with Liu Zhe, he also hoped to receive Liu Zhe's strong assistance.  For example, important war materials such as war horses.

    As soon as Guo Jia asked him if Jingzhou was short of war horses, Kuai Yue felt something in his heart and vaguely guessed what Liu Zhe meant.  Therefore, he did not speak, but waited quietly for Guo Jia to continue speaking.

    "Although my lord and Liu Jingzhou have never met, since they are both Han clan clan members, they should support each other. It is impossible to form an alliance. This is for the safety of the emperor. I hope Liu Jingzhou can understand. But, if Cao Cao wants to  If we want to deal with Liu Jingzhou, my lord will never sit idly by." Guo Jia's words were so upright that if others heard it, they might be moved.

    But Kuai Yue immediately understood what Liu Zhe wanted to do.

    He sneered in his heart, are you asking us to fight to the death with Cao Cao, while you reap the benefits?

    He already understood what Liu Zhe was planning.

    To be honest, if he couldn't control himself, Kuai Yue would have poured the tea in his hand directly into Guo Jia's face.

    "It's so despicable. It's just a matter of not saving him. He actually wants to add fuel to the fire and fish in troubled waters."

    Kuai Yue wanted to refuse out loud. He didn't want Liu Zhe's war horse.

    "So, my lord has decided to give Liu Jingzhou a batch of war horses for free." However, before Kuai Yue could say anything, Guo Jia said again.

    When he heard it was free, Kuai Yue hesitated again.

    Originally, when Kuai Yue understood Liu Zhe's plan, he was very angry.  If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits, let us fight with Cao Cao, and you will take advantage of it.

    War horses are not cheap. The better the war horse, the more expensive it is.  Regardless of whether they don¡¯t agree to form an alliance or refuse to help us, they still want to take advantage of us. Do you really think we are fools?

    Kuai Yue felt that since Liu Zhe refused to help, he had to rely on himself, and there was no need to take advantage of Liu Zhe. The money to buy war horses was enough for Jingzhou to recruit more soldiers.

    However, when Kuai Yue heard Guo Jia say that he was free of charge,Yes, Kuai Yue had to hesitate.

    The price of the war horse is not cheap. If you have to pay for it yourself, you will naturally feel distressed. But if it is given away for free, you would be a fool not to accept it.

    Kuai Yue believed that if Liu Zhe wanted to charge money for the war horses in Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue refused directly, Liu Biao would definitely not blame him when he returned, but might agree with him to prevent Liu Zhe from taking advantage.

    But if the war horse is free and Kuai Yue refuses, Liu Biao will definitely spit on him when he goes back, and he may even curse him to death.

    Therefore, when Kuai Yue wanted to refuse, he changed his words and asked, "I wonder how many war horses there are?"

    "A thousand horses." Guo Jia raised a finger.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
