Jingzhou, one of the ancient Kyushu.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the counties of Jingzhou were controlled by local large households, among which the Cai family in Nanjun was the largest; followed by the Kuai family in Xiangyang, the Ma family and so on.

When Liu Biao entered Xiangyang, he almost didn't bring any people, so he relied on these big families to gradually pacify the counties and counties of Jingxiang.

Therefore, it can be said that most of the rights in Jingzhou are in the hands of these big households.

For example, the Jingzhou Navy Division is under the control of Cai Mao, and most of the government affairs are under the control of the Kuai brothers.

Of course, in the past, with his personal prestige, Liu Biao was still able to subdue the big families in Jingzhou. Although Cai Mao has 100,000 sailors, he also has to bow down to Liu Biao; Although the Kuai brothers can stand up to Liu Biao, they still have to discuss everything in government affairs.

However, as Cai Mao swept away the 100,000 sailors in Jingzhou, this balance was instantly broken.

Although Jingzhou has an army of more than 500,000, most of them are newly recruited, and only the sailors are battle-hardened.

There are many waters in Jingzhou, and the lost 100,000 sailors, Jingzhou's territory can be broken through by the enemy everywhere.

More importantly, 100,000 sailors were swept away by Cai Mao, and Jingzhou went up to the officials and generals to the common people of Limin, and it was inevitable that people would be panicked.

In the absence of an external threat, this unrest will soon subside.

It's a pity that Jiangdong, next door to Jingzhou, is in the midst of a beacon fire; The external threat to Jingzhou is very great.

……

Xiangyang, Kuaifu; The Kuai brothers are discussing the current situation in Jingzhou.

Because the old mother is still there, the Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers have not separated, and some of their concubine brothers all live in Kuai Mansion, but they live in their own courtyards.

"Big brother, we've discussed this a few times, right? What else does the big brother have to say this time? Kuai Yue asked.

Kuai Liang smiled bitterly: "The overall situation has been decided, what else can we do?" Can't let our Kuai family follow Liu Jingsheng to the funeral, right? ”

"It's just that when Liu Jingzhou needs it most, let's go elsewhere, and in the future, the world will inevitably say that I am from the Kuai clan to Qin and Duchu."

Previously, when Cai Mao was detained in Jinan City, Jingxiang's other big families thought that the day had come.

Although there are many big families in the seven counties of Jingxiang, it is the Cai family in the south of the county. At that time, the Cai family lost its handle, and Cai Zhongcai and his brothers were not in the climate, and even the Kuai brothers thought that this was the day when their Kuai family came out.

Who would have thought that Hao Meng not only did not kill Cai Mao, but surrendered him.

That's it.

After all, after Cai Mao was recruited by Hao Meng, he would not be able to compete with their Kuai clan in Jingzhou.

At that time, under Kuai Liang's prodding, Liu Biao planted some nails in the Jingzhou Water Division.

Of course, there are naturally nails from all major households in Jingxiang.

As long as the time goes by a little longer, Jingzhou Sailor will naturally no longer be the plate of Cai's food in Nanjun.

Then, before the monarchs and ministers of Jingzhou could swallow the 100,000 sailors, Hao Meng raised an army of 400,000 and headed south.

At the beginning, because Hao Meng's troops were unknown, everyone in Jingzhou was panicked, and they all thought that Hao Meng was ready to send troops to Jingzhou. When Hao Meng entered Shouchun City, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, and the Kuai brothers also breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, Liu Biao also consulted the Kuai brothers if they could intervene when Hao Meng and Jiangdong Group were dead.

At that time, Kuai Liang was in favor of sending troops to help the Jiangdong Sun clan.

After all, the lips are cold!

However, Kuai Yue did not approve of sending troops to intervene.

In Kuai Yue's view, Hao Mengju's 400,000 army has been entrenched under Shouchun City for nearly half a month, but he is not in a hurry to take Shouchun City, maybe there is some conspiracy, or he is preparing to encircle the point and send reinforcements or something. Jingzhou sent troops at this time, is it an excuse to send Hao Meng to enter Jingzhou? Or are you going to deliver food to Hao Meng?

For this reason, the Kuai brothers almost turned their faces on the spot with an argument.

It was precisely because of the controversy between the Kuai brothers that Liu Biao was indecisive for a while, so that it was delayed for a long time. When Liu Biao mobilized heavy troops on the front line of Xiangyang and prepared to knock on Nanyang, Cai Mao quietly returned to Nanjun and swept away the 100,000 sailors in Jingzhou.

……

Cai Mao swept away 100,000 Jingzhou sailors?

When they learned the news, the Kuai brothers were dumbfounded, and Liu Biao almost fainted in the toilet from crying.

Although Jingzhou claims to have an army of 500,000, most of them are recruits recruited this spring.

The foundation of Liu Biao's foothold in Jingzhou is actually the 100,000 sailors.

This is the elite who has been fighting with the Jiangdong Army all year round, but now it was brought to Hao Meng by Cai Mao's nest.

At that time, what was Liu Biao's feeling, and the Kuai brothers had no time to take care of it; Because, after Cai Mao swept away the roots of Jingzhou, the big families of the Jingxiang family continued to make small moves in private, and the Kuai brothers were also planning for the family.

Moreover, Kuai Liang was even more deeply disturbed.

"Sure enough, is this Hao Meng's conspiracy?"

In Kuai Liang's view, Hao Meng's 400,000 army besieged Shouchun City without attacking, and it was estimated that he was waiting for Cai Mao to sweep away the 100,000 sailors in Jingzhou.

After all, if Hao Meng wants to conquer Jiangdong, he can't do it without a water master.

"Since Hao Meng has swept away my Jingzhou Water Master, the ending of the Jiangdong Sun clan is basically decided."

Kuai Yue had a longer vision than his brother at the time.

At that time, the main force of the Jiangdong Army was basically assembled in the Hefei area, and the capital in its rear was completely empty, although there were tens of thousands of recruits to defend the city, it was vulnerable. After Cai Mao swept away the Jingzhou Naval Division, he must have entered Jiangdong to help in the war.

If so, in Chaisang City on the eastward approach of the Jingzhou Water Division, will Cai Mao let it go?

Moreover, with Cai Mao's 100,000 sailors to help, Hao Meng is like a tiger with wings, and how can the Jiangdong Army be undefeated?

……

It is precisely because of Cai Mao's salary draw from the bottom of the kettle that the people of Jingxiang Seven Counties are in turmoil, and the people are worried that war will ignite at any time, and the big families are also hiding in the dark to worry about the family. Liu Jingzhou is too late to appease people's hearts, how can he take care of the Jiangdong war situation?

When the reports of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's defeat entered Jingxiang one after another, people with a little vision all sighed.

Cao Mengde lost Guanzhong, Yuan Benchu lost Hebei, and Hao Meng's power rose.

If so, under the advantages of one and the other, Jiangdong is not Hao Meng's opponent.

Jiangdong couldn't stop Hao Meng's troops, and Jingzhou, the only remaining Jingzhou in the Central Plains, was even more difficult to support alone.

Of course, there are also people who are amazed by Hao Meng's far-reaching layout.

When everyone thought that Hao Meng was fighting to the death with the Jiangdong Army in Weishui, who would have thought that Hao Meng would actually send Cai Mao back to Nanjun and quietly swept away the 100,000 sailors in Jingzhou?

When everyone thought that after Hao Meng was like a tiger with wings, he would definitely capture Jiangdong like a bamboo, who would have thought that Hao Meng was actually a Ming plank road dark Chen Cang, using Jiangdong as bait to catch Cao Mengde out of Guanzhong, and also catch Yuan Benchu to lose Hebei?

At that time, there were already many people in the seven counties of Jingxiang who were clamoring for when Hao Meng led the army into Jingxiang, how should they eat pot pulp to meet Hao Meng's royal master. Kuai Yue is the secret promoter of this clamour.
