Cheap ships, Ye Chen didn't believe that he would not be fooled, and in the absence of more funds, if he wanted more ships, he could only buy them from Ye Chen.

The ship sold by Ye Chen basically had no profit, and it was sold to Cai Mao at cost price, and it was no wonder that Cai Mao was not moved.

So Ye Chen, isn't this thankless? Absolutely not, he can train the entire shipbuilding industry, he can train more skilled workers.

And Cai Mao will only waste his shipbuilding industry, and after Cai Mao completely loses his shipbuilding industry in the later stage, he will be subject to Ye Chen, when Ye Chen's shipbuilding industry is highly developed, and other people's shipbuilding industry will be hit hard.

The shipbuilding industry is not as good as others, it is not so easy to continue to invest, once it stops and wants to develop, let alone completely abandoned, and it is not possible to do it in one or two years if you want to develop again.

After Ye Chen left, Cai Mao's heart has been uneven, he wants to realize that the entire Yangtze River basin is floating with his own ships, and the goods coming and going are controlled by himself, so he needs a large number of ships and a large number of crews, but this process takes a long time.

Ye Chen was not in a hurry, he waited slowly after going back, he believed that even if Cai Mao was not recruited now, it would not be long before he would be recruited, unless he had no ambition, if he had ambition, he would be recruited sooner or later.

"Second brother, has the matter here been resolved?" Back at the residence, Tai Shici asked.

Ye Chen nodded and said: "It's almost over, let's go back to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion in the evening, if we go out of the city tomorrow, I still need to visit Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui, the two old gentlemen, and then we will leave for Liaodong."

Tai Shi Ci nodded, when they came into Xiangyang City, he was still very worried, after all, it was peaceful on the surface, but in fact, various forces were overturning, and it was not as calm as it appeared to be.

"Big brother, you can't do this, this will bring disaster to Xiangyang." Kuai Liang had a gloomy face in the study, and Kuai Yue said to him very worriedly.

"This matter is not as simple as it seems, once they really unite, then the entire Jingzhou will be his Cai Mao's, and where will there be a foothold for our Kuai family at that time." Kuai Liang said angrily.

"Big brother, even if Cai Mao is powerful, he won't dare to do anything to our Kuai family, we are not an existence that can be slaughtered by others, and the first person Cai Mao has to face is Liu Biao, and he has no time to pay attention to us." Kuai Yue was afraid that Kuai Liang was too radical, so he tried his best to persuade him.

"You are wrong, if Cai Mao swells up, it is indeed Liu Biao who will be faced, but we have become Liu Biao's minions, and it must be us who wants to get rid of us, and only by getting rid of us can he feel at ease." Kuai Liang said with a sigh.

He didn't expect that what he thought would be an ordinary banquet would turn out to be a big commotion.

I thought that the Ye family in Liaodong followed the Cai family in Jingzhou, even if they wanted to cooperate, it would be limited, but who knew that in the end, their cooperation could subvert the pattern of the entire Jingzhou within a few years, and their Kuai family, as an opponent, might be wiped out by then, so he had to fight back.

"Now the Ye family's army is outside the city, if the defenders in Xiangyang City can't defend it, we move Ye Chen, and the entire Xiangyang City, including our Kuai family, will be buried together." Kuai Yue continued to stop Kuai Liang, his eldest brother actually wanted to assassinate Ye Chen and prevent Ye Cai's two families from uniting, what a crazy move.

"Xeno, now that Lord Zhou Mu has mobilized more than 20,000 defenders to come over, Xiangyang City is well defended, and it is no problem to defend it, as long as Ye Chen dies in the city, the anger will only erupt towards Liu Biao, there is Liu Biao in front of us to block the Kuai family, and Cai Mao is a general, he must also make a choice, then the two families will become hostile, and our Kuai family will be able to survive the crisis of extermination."

Kuai Liang is usually a very calm person, he has always been known for his resourcefulness, but he didn't expect that this Cai Mao's reckless trick would suddenly reach the level of subverting everything, which made him unbearable, and just as he feared, the Kuai family could really be wiped out, although this process would take several years.

"Big brother, now Ye Chen either lives in the Cai family or in the state pastor's mansion, the risk is too great, the dead of our Kuai family only have one action, whether they succeed or not, they will be discovered, success may still be spared, once it fails, our Kuai family will be finished." Kuai Yue said excitedly.

"Xeno, do you think that if things continue, our Kuai family will be able to survive safely? Now we still have a chance to fight, and no matter how late it is, we don't even have a chance to fight, so we can only be slaughtered. Kuai Liang said loudly to Kuai Yue.

"Big brother, if you really want to do it, you can't use our Kuai family's own dead soldiers, although it will still be discovered in the end, but at least there is a reason on the surface." Kuai Yue persuaded hard for a long time, but he had no persuasion and had to make a final effort.

Kuai Liang was crazy, and Ye Chen didn't know that he was still in the Cai Mansion at this time, preparing to return to the Zhou Mu Mansion at night, after all, when he was leaving, he had to say goodbye to Liu Biao, and these etiquettes were still necessary.

After resigning from Cai Mao, Ye Chen returned to the State Pastoral Mansion, and in the evening, Liu Biao invited him again, but the banquet was not so enthusiastic, obviously Liu Biao already knew about his cooperation with Cai Mao.

Liu Biao is afraid of the major families in Jingzhou, but he has to rely on them, now several parties can form a balance, his position is very stable, once someone breaks this balance, then the situation in Jingzhou will be unpredictable.

"Second brother, why are you so happy?" When he went back to the courtyard to rest in the evening, Ye Chen was quite happy, and Zhao Yun asked with a smile.

"Haha, third brother, there are two happy things, one is to reach a cooperation with Cai Mao, which is of great benefit to both of us, and the other is that I am happy to see Liu Biao's deflated appearance today, this bad old man, Huang Zu didn't stop him from going north at the beginning, and now I come to Xiangyang City to make wind and rain, he asked for it."

Ye Chen said with a happy laugh.

"Second brother, if we do this, will Liu Biao be unfavorable to us?" Tai Shi Ci said worriedly.

"No, he doesn't have the guts, now our army is outside the city, and the guard battalion has to exchange news every day, once something happens to us, they will kill them after all."

When Ye Chen said this, this Tai Shi Ci was a little relieved.

Late at night, Kuai Liang didn't sleep, he was busy all day, although he was very tired, but his spirit was very high, he was doing a very crazy thing.

Assassinating Ye Chen, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will have to bear huge risks, and it is possible that the Kuai family will disappear from now on.

But he was determined to do so, because his competitor suddenly had a good deck of cards in his hand, so good that he couldn't resist, so he had to solve it before the opponent formed a "momentum".
