What do you think?

Cai Mao's brain immediately exploded, and there was a blank for a moment, but he immediately reacted, what else do you need, you must agree, this is really a great thing, and if you don't agree, you will be a fool.

Cai Mao immediately stood up, bowed deeply to He Hao, and said respectfully: "Uncle, please accept the little nephew, uncle thinks so much about the Cai family, and the Cai family will have a good reward." ”

He Hao laughed and said: "De Jue doesn't have to be like this, this is a conspiracy, if Cai Fu can marry my lord, he will definitely soar in the future and dominate the world, but the priority at the moment is that De Jue must seek Jingzhou for my lord." ”

Cai Mao is not a fool, of course he knows the purpose of Cao Ju taking the initiative to marry their Cai family, nodded and said: "That's right, uncle, I don't know how much uncle knows about the situation in Jingzhou?" ”

He Hao smiled slightly and said, "I understand a little, and I also ask De Jue to solve my doubts." ”

Cai Mao nodded and said: "Jingzhou Shi family, there are a total of seven families, namely the Pang family, the Huang family, the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Ma family, the Xi family and the Yang family, among them, the main power of the Kuai family is in Nanjun, the main force of the Huang family is in Nannan, the main force of the Ma family is in Yicheng, and the rest of the Pang, Cai, Xi, and Yang are all ancestral homes in Xiangyang. ”

"Among the seven major families, the Cai family, the Huang family, the Xi family, and the Yang family all have family disciples in the military, and the other three families are good at strategy, and the family disciples are all civil officials. And the Cai family, the Huang family, the Xi family, and the Yang family, in the military, should be headed by our Cai family, followed by the Huang family, then the Yang family, and finally the Xi family. ”

"Among the other three major families, in front of Liu Biao, the Kuai family is the most important and powerful, followed by the Pang family and the Ma family. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who is good at power and skill, balances between the seven great families, so he can control the situation in Jingzhou. However, although it seems to be in control of Jingzhou, not all of the seven great families are loyal to him, so Liu Biao's position in Jingzhou is not unbreakable. ”

He Hao immediately asked, "De Jue, how is your relationship with the other six great families?" ”

Cai Mao pondered for a while and said: "The Cai family and the Huang family are married, and the friendship is not bad, the relationship with the Kuai family is bad, the relationship with the Ma family is good, and the relationship between the other four families is average. ”

Nodding, He Hao asked again: "De Jue, I don't know how powerful you are in the army?" ”

Cai Mao barely hesitated and immediately replied: "The Jingzhou army, a total of 500,000, the Cai family controls half, about 260,000, the Huang family controls 150,000, and the remaining 90,000 are in the hands of the Xi family and the Yang family. ”

He Hao rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, this Liu Biao is really sad enough, he has the identity of a state pastor, and the 500,000 army is not under his control.

In fact, He Hao didn't know that before he was ordered to come, Liu Biao had already asked someone to propose to Cai's house, and it was Cai Mao's second sister, that is, Liu Biao's step-wife Mrs. Cai in history.

In history, after Liu Biao married the Cai family, he immediately won the full support of the Cai family and the Huang family, and the Kuai family was naturally not far behind and expressed their loyalty to Liu Biao, and the other four families would certainly not have any wait-and-see attitude.

Therefore, in the long river of Chinese history, although the means of marriage seems to be not on the table, relying on sacrificing women's happiness to achieve certain political goals, but the means of marriage is the most direct and effective, just like Liu Biao, who married a beautiful woman and went home, and controlled the situation in Jingzhou, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, just after Liu Biao's dream had already taken a gorgeous step, Cao Ju appeared, and he was doomed to failure.

In this era, a man calls himself an old man at the age of thirty-five, and a person at the age of fifty is definitely a very old man. And Cao Ju, young and dignified, is one of the two Han Dynasty generals of the Western Han Dynasty, with a high and powerful position, anyone will choose Cao Ju and give up Liu Biao.

Compared with the future, Liu Biao is just a pastor in Jingzhou, guarding the land of Jingzhou, there is Xichuan Liu Zhang on the left, and Liu Miao in Yangzhou, all of whom are relatives of the Han family.

What about Jiaozhou in the south, the territory of the Shi family, before Liu Biao came, Jingzhou had fought with Jiaozhou a lot, and he could defend the mainland, but as long as he hit the territory of Jiaozhou, he was either unaccustomed to the water and soil, or the terrain was not familiar, and he was defeated several times. Therefore, such a delicate relationship between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou has been maintained, and both sides have stationed a lot of troops on the border, but they have not taken the initiative to provoke.

But Cao Ju is different, the Western Han Dynasty regime in which he controls the government has already occupied Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Bingzhou, and is now using force against Yizhou, and will be able to occupy Yizhou in a few days.

Once Yizhou returns to Cao Ju, Cao Ju can send troops in two ways at any time, all the way down from Yongzhou to the southeast, all the way from Yizhou to the east, and Jingzhou is definitely not an opponent.

Of course, Jingzhou can also take the initiative to attack, that is, to help Yizhou deal with Cao Ju. However, although Cai Mao is young, he can also see that although they can resist Cao Ju once, they cannot resist Cao Ju all the time, with Cao Ju's wisdom and martial arts, they can win Yizhou and Jingzhou sooner or later, so Cai Mao is ready to be a person who knows the times and is a handsome person.

He Hao heard this, and said with great joy: "This is very good, De Jue, the matter of the marriage, it is decided, this matter must not be told to anyone, as for you have been able to agree to Liu Biao, you can find an excuse to postpone it, just wait for the change in Yizhou." ”

Cai Mao nodded and said: "Uncle, please rest assured, and tell the general about Yizhou, please let the general go, the little nephew will definitely be able to persuade Liu Biao to never help Yizhou." ”

He Hao smiled slightly: "According to the news that my lord has obtained, Liu Zhang of Yizhou has sent an envoy to Jingzhou, wanting to persuade Liu Biao to send troops to help Er, I don't know how De Qi will respond?" ”

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "I don't know who is here?" ”

He Hao said with a smile: "Dong He, the legend is quite eloquent, and Liu Zhang sent him as an envoy, which is very suitable." ”

Cai Mao smiled slightly and said: "Uncle can rest assured, Jingzhou's plans are all in the hands of the little nephew, and no matter how talented Dong He is, it will only be in vain." ”

He Hao shook his head lightly and said: "No, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are of the same clan, Liu Biao knows the truth of the cold lips and teeth, yes, Dong He is eloquent, and he may be able to move Liu Biao." If Liu Biao presses Dali, how can De Jue refuse, in order to risk the disapproval of the world? ”

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know what my uncle can teach me?" ”

He Hao smiled slightly and said: "Actually, this matter is easy to hear, just need to ......" Before the words were finished, He Hao made a gesture, and then closed his mouth and smiled.

Cai Mao was shocked, then frowned, nodded viciously and said, "Okay, uncle, don't worry, the little nephew knows what to do." ”
