"Then let's talk about the marriages between the major clans. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info so as not to accidentally injure relatives in future fights. Liu Chan asked. Because he knew that the monarch was very open-minded during the Three Kingdoms period, and his brothers, cousins and other relatives could be their own masters.

"Many of the major families are relatives of each other. Take Mr. Wolong, for example, who married Huang Yueying, the daughter of Mr. Huang Chengyan. And Cai Mao is Huang Yueying's uncle, and Liu Biao is Huang Yueying's uncle. At the same time, Kuai Qi is Mr. Zhuge 's eldest brother-in-law, and Pang Degong's son Pang Shanmin is Mr. Zhuge 's second brother-in-law. Mr. Pang Tong is Pang Degong's nephew, and Pang Tong's younger brother Pang Lin is the Xi family's Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law and Xi Zhen's brother-in-law. "Xiang Pet is like a few cherished treasures.

Liu Chan gasped, no wonder Zhuge Liang was so coaxed that he dared to wrestle with the Sima family, his confidence came from his family background, and the intricate and intricate relationship between him and the seven major families.

At the same time, Liu Chan suddenly realized that Zhuge Liang's marriage was an outright political marriage. Huang Chengyan's wife is the daughter of Cai Wei, a famous family in Jingzhou. The Cai family's influence in Jingzhou is quite large, Cai Wei's other daughter married Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and Cai Wei's son Cai Mao is Liu Biao's most trusted and relied on general, the Cai family has a great political background in Jingzhou, and is a famous family. With such political capital, even if Huang Chengyan's daughter is really ugly, are she afraid that she won't be able to get married? Liu Chan has seen Huang Yueying, she is a standard beauty, not as ugly as people say, and she is outstanding in learning, she is a standard lady.

Judging from Zhuge Liang's social background, Zhuge Liang did not "plough the acres of Longmu, and did not seek to be heard by the princes" and lived in seclusion in Longzhong. He married Huang Yueying not only because she was outstanding in learning, but also because of her family background.

Similarly, the reason why Huang Chengyan chose Zhuge Liang as his son-in-law was that in addition to Zhuge Liang's appearance and talent, he also valued Zhuge Shi's political power in Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang's eldest sister married Kuai Qi of the Kuai family, and the second sister married Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong. After the Huang family and the Zhuge family formed a family, the four wealthy surnames of the Kuai, Cai, Pang and Huang families in Jingzhou became relatives and realized a "strong alliance".

Xiang Pet continued: "Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou and opening up the situation in Xiangyang all relied on the power of Cai and Kuai. Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang assisted Liu Biao to pacify the territory, and the table was able to become strong. Cai Mao was the second person in Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were the masterminds of Liu Biao, becoming the two pillars of Liu Biao's regime. However, the Pang family, the Huang family, the Ma family, the Xi family, the Yang family, etc., are relatively cold and keep a certain distance from them. Although Huang Chengyan is close to Liu Biao and Cai Mao, he has not served in Liu Biao's regime, and Liu Biao has invited Pang Degong several times but has to sigh and leave. They think that Liu Biao sits on the protection of Jiang Han and has no ambition in all directions, no talent of the overlord, and is not the master of chaos, but waiting for the British lord. ”

Liu Chan nodded, it turned out that they were waiting for the price to sell, and they wanted to make a bigger deal. Liu Biao in history is indeed not a hero, although he can keep Jingzhou stable and prosperous, but his "outside is wide and the inside is taboo, he is indecisive, he is talented but cannot be used, and he can not accept the good". Under the background of division and endless fighting, in order to maximize the interests of the family, it is no wonder that the insightful people of the five wealthy families do not cooperate with Liu Biao.

Liu Chan continued to think deeply, suddenly his head opened, he increased his forehead with his hand, and sighed in his heart: No wonder his father Liu Bei, who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years, braved the heavy snow and cold, not far away, deigned to look at Zhuge Liang, a young man who was only 27 years old, and humbly claimed to be "short-sighted in wisdom" and asked Zhuge Liang "Ji will come out". In the cold winter wax moon, a play was staged about Zhuge Liang in the grass house in Longzhong, seeking talents and asking for talents. It is not only because Zhuge Liang is "the talent of Yiqun and the instrument of heroism", the most fundamental reason is that Zhuge Liang has a deep family relationship in Jingzhou. The father who has always been under the fence knows that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou, he must get the support of the five local wealthy forces, and Zhuge Liang is their representative figure, and he has great influence and strength in Jingxiang.

"The opposition forces formed by the five wealthy families have a great momentum. They praised each other, praised each other, evaluated characters, and advocated fame, controlling the public opinion circle in Jingzhou at that time. They often gather in Lumen, where Pang Degong lived, or Sima Hui's Shuijing Villa, to study scriptures and history, explore knowledge, analyze the situation, discuss current affairs, express their aspirations, wait for the opportunity, and seek a way out. "The pampering is still not enough.

Liu Chan sighed secretly, it is obvious that Pang Degong and the five wealthy families have formed a political group with strong political and organizational colors. Combined with the intelligence of the fourth uncle, Sima Hui's vision was really poisonous enough, and he used this group extremely skillfully to serve him.

"The marriage between the major families is to keep warm in a group, form a greater force, and strive for greater interests. Petty surnames like us don't have a chance to get in at all. The gourd-like Zong Pre was silent all the way, and finally couldn't help but complain.

"What Deyan said is very true, so whether Liu Biao or my father is in charge of Jingzhou, after all, we must obtain the support of these Jingxiang clans in order to ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees, take root and consolidate the foundation, and achieve long-term peace and stability. However, the family is too powerful and becomes the winner or loser who changes the situation, which is indeed not a long-term blessing for the country! Liu Chan sighed worriedly.

Before Cao Cao's army went south, in order to maintain vested interests, Cai and Kuai held Liu Zong hostage and surrendered to Cao Cao. Who knows, smart but clever mistaken, Cao Cao was defeated in the battle of Chibi, Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, was given the head, and the heads of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, descended to the north, and the dreams of the Cai and Kuai families were also wiped out, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and they were no longer able to make waves in Jingzhou. Zhao Yun said suddenly.

Zong Yu pondered for a while and asked, "According to you, the Cao army and our army confronted each other in Dangyang before, and a big war is about to break out, where will the Jingxiang clan go?" ”

"In my opinion, with the profit-seeking characteristics of the big clan, it must be the grass on the wall and the candle in the wind, and whichever side wins, it will fall there." Xiang Pet said without thinking.

"Not really." Liu Chan interrupted Xiang Pet's words with a smile and said with a smile: "In this troubled era, most of the families are like small insects in summer, and they all have serious phototaxis. In this regard, if you usually pay attention to observation, you should know this habit of insects, that is, the phenomenon of moths fighting fires. knew that it was death, but because he couldn't withstand the temptation, he flew to the death and tried the fire with his body, Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers are living examples. ”

In fact, Liu Biao relied excessively on Cai and Kuai, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang controlled Jingzhou's government affairs for a long time, and the two families sat big. It has long caused the dissatisfaction of the five major families, so they are indifferent and indifferent to Liu Biao's death and Cai and Kuai's death, and they are even a little gloated. Zong Pre said thoughtfully.
