Cai Mao saw that Liu Bei was still there to persuade Liu Biao to take Liu Qi as a general, he was angry and angry in his heart, pushed away the people who were blocking him, bowed to Liu Biao, and said: "Lord, Liu Qi has never led the army, you must not be a general, otherwise the soldiers will not be convinced, and our army will be defeated!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "Gongzi Qi is the son of Ming Gongzi, Ming Gongzi is unwell and ordered Qi Gongzi to take charge of the army on his behalf, this move is as if Ming Gongzi led the army to conquer in person, and the soldiers in Jingzhou will only be excited and forget about life and death, how can they be dissatisfied with Qi Gongzi?" Ming Gong is the lord of Jingzhou, the master of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, I discussed with Ming Gong about taking Qi Gongzi as a general, why did General Cai repeatedly block it? I don't think it's the Jingzhou soldiers who are dissatisfied with Qi Gongzi, but General Cai, right? ”

Liu Bei's words were heart-wrenching, after Liu Biao heard Cai Mao's words, he immediately looked at Cai Mao coldly, Cai Mao also knew that he couldn't bear this charge, and hurriedly retorted: "The thief is rude, I am the general of Jingzhou, how can I be dissatisfied with the leading army of the son!" I just ......"

Liu Bei didn't wait for Cai Mao to finish speaking, so he directly interrupted him and said: "General Cai is a veteran general in the army, if there is a general by his side, Gongzi Qi will definitely be able to lead the army to defeat Yuan Yao!" Qi Gongzi will lead the army on behalf of his brother, which will definitely stimulate the morale of the army and increase this victory, why not lead the army with Qi Gongzi to solve the crisis in Jingzhou? ”

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, which sounds very chic and calm, but this is also Liu Biao's helplessness, and it is the hidden dangers buried at that time that make Liu Biao unable to get out of Jingzhou in more than ten years!!

At that time, that is, in the first year of Chuping (190 AD), Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo wrote to the Son of Heaven in order to appease the princes of the world, and went to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou with Liu Biao, who was very famous in the world at that time.

Although Liu Biao was very famous at this time, he was just a celebrity, he had never held a decent official position before, and there were few available people under his command and the basic plate to establish a force, so he had to go to Jingzhou anonymously and celibately to take office.

This is the origin of Liu Form's riding into Jingzhou, at this time, if his subordinates had a few available generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and a team of soldiers and horses, would he still ride into Jingzhou alone?

Riding into Jingzhou alone, this statement is not so much that Liu Biao is very chic and calm, but that he was forced to be helpless and had to do it!

At this time, the world is already in chaos, Dong Zhuo has already done everything in the imperial court, and all the princes in the world have already risen up to discuss Dong Zhuo, and people of insight in the world have also realized that the troubled times are coming!

At this time, the majesty of the Han court has gradually declined, and a bare-bones commander like Liu Biao was still recommended by the national thief Dong Zhuo to go to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin, will the people of Jingzhou take care of him?

Obviously, no one paid attention to him at this time!

Liu Biao also realized his helplessness, and he also knew that he could not pacify the land of Jingzhou with his own strength, and in desperation, Liu Biao could only go to Yicheng alone, and made a deal with the two largest families in Jingzhou at that time, namely the Cai family and the Kuai family, and handed them the military and political power of Jingzhou respectively, in exchange for their support for him and help him pacify the land of Jingzhou!

After all, Liu Biao mastered the righteousness of the imperial court, although the Cai family and the Kuai family were wealthy families in Jingzhou, but they did not have the name to continue to enhance the power of their family, Liu Biao's arrival was also a good opportunity for them to expand their power again, and the Cai family and the Kuai family agreed to Liu Biao's conditions, and Cai Mao also married his sister to Liu Biao for marriage.

That is to say, Liu Biao, Cai's and Kuai's reached an alliance through this agreement, and promised to govern Jingzhou with Cai's and Kuai's, which was exchanged for their support, strictly speaking, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are not Liu Biao's subordinates at all, but belong to Liu Biao's political allies!

After the three reached an agreement, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue used the prestige of their two major warrior clans to improve Liu Biao's reputation, and at the same time took out a large amount of money and family troops to recruit troops, and let the children of their family and the children of the families who intersected with them come to Liu Biao's command, which can be regarded as making up a team of soldiers and horses and a set of teams, which gave Liu Biao the capital to start a business!

With the support of the Cai family, the Kuai clan and the rest of the Jingzhou clans, Liu Biao reluctantly pacified the land of Jingzhou and became the nominal lord of Jingzhou!

Note that Liu Biao's lord of Jingzhou is only nominal, and Jingzhou is not Liu Biao's Jingzhou alone: to put it mildly, the three-person group of Liu Biao, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue can be regarded as the lord of Jingzhou in the real sense, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are in charge of the army and one in charge, and in terms of actual power, the power held by the two of them even exceeds that of Liu Biao; To put it more broadly, the ruling group in Jingzhou can be regarded as an alliance of Jingxiang clans headed by Liu Biao and Yi Cai and the Kuai clan, Liu Biao, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are at best the leaders of this alliance, and Liu Biao can't go against the wishes of the majority of people at all!

So how do you say that sentence, only the country that you have beaten down is the real country, and the country that others gave you is not your own country at all!!

Why has the Jingxiang Group not been able to send troops to the outside for more than ten years, this problem is a hidden danger buried at this time!

You must know that sending troops will cost countless money and food, and if you send troops to fight the world, where will the money and food come from?

At this time, the land of Jingzhou has basically been served by the Jingxiang clan, and most of the cultivated land in Jingzhou belongs to the Jingxiang clan, and it is good for ordinary people not to go hungry, let alone let them come to sacrifice grain and grass for Liu Biao to fight the world.

In this way, the money and food for these troops can only be collected from the hands of the Jingxiang clan, and these Jingxiang clans will cut their own flesh to fight for Liu Biao in the world?

Would it do them any good if they cut the flesh?

Obviously, this is not, sending troops to fight for Liu Biao in the world, this will only improve Liu Biao's status and strength, for them, the Jingxiang clan has no benefit at all, and even with the addition of the rest of the clan, they will continue to weaken their right to speak under Liu Biao, so no one will do such a thing that harms others and benefits themselves!

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Biao will have no way to go out to the army in more than ten years!

It's not that Liu Biao himself is unwilling, it's just that the Jingxiang clan doesn't let him do this!
