Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

However, it has to be said that the Cai family in Jingzhou has not produced a great talent for many years.

As a last resort, Cai Mao's father, Cai Xi, and Cai Mao's grandfather, used two methods to maintain the status of the Cai family in Jingzhou.

The first is investment.

Cai Xi once helped two people buy the official position of Taiwei.

One is Cai Xi's brother-in-law Zhang Wen, and the other is Fan Ling.

It has been explained in the previous article, so I won’t go into details here.

However, these two investments failed.

The second is marriage.

Cai Xi's sister married Zhang Wen.

Cai Xi's eldest daughter Cai Xin married Huang Chengyan, the future head of the Huang family.

Originally, the Cai family was very powerful in Xiangyang, and with the addition of the Huang family outside of Xiangyang, the Jingzhou gentry could continue to be the leader.

But Huang Chengyan has the same temper as Lord Pang De. He doesn't like Liu Biao, and he doesn't like officialdom. He has great talent but doesn't work.

Fortunately, there is another Huang Zu who is the leader of the army.

But Huang Zu has a bad temper and a low EQ. He never flattered Liu Biao, and Liu Biao couldn't stand it when he opened his mouth.

So, Liu Biao simply sent Huang Zu to Jiangxia to keep out of sight and out of mind.

This time, Sun Jian led the army to attack, and Cai Mao failed in the first battle. Liu Biao had no choice but to call Huang Zu over urgently.

It's just that when Huang Zu came, he came, and he also suffered a defeat.

The generals leading the army were all defeated, and they were not as good as a counselor. Liu Biao already had opinions on the Cai family and the Huang family.

As for Kuai Yue, he was not as low-key as his elder brother Kuai Liang. It was a bit embarrassing for him to make great contributions to saving Jingzhou.

When they came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Kuai Yue happened to meet Cai Mao.

Kuai Yuezheng was stunned, and said something that shouldn't have been said: "Haha, Sun Jian was killed in Zhongfu, and Degui and Yuanzong were defeated in the previous battle. The governor said it, and he will not be held accountable."

"Degui, after this incident, you must buy me a drink as a thank you."

Cai Hao couldn't hold back his face, so he forced a smile: "That's natural, that's natural."

"Hahaha..." Seeing Cai Mao's embarrassment, Kuai Yue felt relieved, laughed and walked into the State Shepherd's Mansion first.

The celebration banquet became a platform for Kuai Liang to play alone.

Lu Jie was just a military lord, and his status was not high. It was only because he was good at archery that he happened to shoot Sun Jian to death, so he was promoted to three ranks by Liu Biao.

With the status of a lieutenant general, in front of so many bigwigs from Jingzhou, he naturally didn't even dare to fart one more time, so he didn't dare to make a fuss.

After a banquet.

Kuai Yue became the savior of Jingzhou.

As for Liu Biao, he was naturally blown into a hero by a Jingzhou official, and even Hua Yu had to carry Liu Biao's shoes.

Liu Biao got drunk and was overjoyed. He promoted the official on the spot, and even considered himself a hero.

Cai Mao didn't say a word, not only didn't toast Kuai Yue, but also didn't toast Liu Biao, and drank alone.

Hmph, Hua Yu carried Liu Biao's shoes?
A trace of disdain appeared on the corner of Cai Mao's mouth, you don't know how powerful Champion Hou is.

The Kwantung princes, two 10,000+ coalition forces, were defeated by his 1 horses and fled hundreds of miles away.

Who can do it?

Can Sun Jian do it?

Can Kuai Liang do it?

Can you Liu Biao do it?
Hmph, he was lucky enough to win a small victory, but he was so arrogant that he dared to be called a hero.

Hmm, hero?

Cai Mao's heart suddenly moved. He seemed to feel that these two words had something to do with something.

This matter has something to do with him, and it also has something to do with the Cai family.

By the way, Yu'er, Cai Mao suddenly remembered something, and snapped at the table, startling everyone around him.

Regardless of the reaction of the people around him, Cai Mao started his own plan.

Well, yes, betroth Yu'er to Liu Biao.

Yu'er is not a hero and does not marry.

Liu Biao's shooting and killing of Sun Jian made him famous all over the world, and it is no exaggeration to call him a hero.

Although, this hero is a bit old, but what does it matter?

There is only such an old hero in Jingzhou, and there is no second one. Is it possible that Yu'er will not marry for the rest of her life?
Haha, once Yu'er marries Liu Biao, no one can shake my Cai family's status in Jingzhou.

The Kuai family?

Humph, what a fart.

At that time, I will take care of Kuai Yue, an arrogant person.

With this in mind, Cai Mao swept away the previous unhappiness, and felt extremely happy, drinking wine did not feel the bitterness just now.

After finally surviving the celebration banquet, Jingzhou civil and military officials bid farewell and left one after another.

Cai Mao was about to mention this matter to Liu Biao, but Kuai Yue didn't leave, and took advantage of the strength of wine to pull Liu Biao to chat about Jingzhou's plans.

Sure enough, he is an arrogant person, Cai Mao rolled his eyes and cursed secretly, you are a fool, you don't even open your eyes to look, Liu Biao is drunk, and I don't want to hear you talking nonsense here.

After waiting for another hour, Cai Mao finally boiled Kuai Yue away.

However, after the steward informed Cai Mao, the reply to Cai Mao was that Liu Biao was drunk and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so Cai Mao was invited to come back tomorrow.

Sorry for your inconvenience.

Why didn't you say it was inconvenient to meet Kuai Yue just now? If I believe you, my surname will not be Cai in the future.

Cai Mao didn't care about the management at all, and just broke in.

Liu Biao was about to go to the back house to rest, and when he saw Cai Mao rushing over, he felt a little displeased, frowned and asked, "Why is Degui so shapeless?"

Cai Mao had something to rely on, so he was naturally not afraid at all, and said with a faint smile: "The last general is here to bring a happy event for the lord."

happy event?

Liu Biao did drink a lot, and immediately sneered: "The defeat of Degui in the first battle caused the morale of our Jingzhou army to plummet. What happy event can there be?"

Normally, Cai Mao would definitely be extremely embarrassed, but this time it was different, Cai Mao was full of confidence.

Cai Mao cupped his hands and said: "Cai Mao's request is a lifelong event for the Fujun."

Lifetime event?

Liu Biao's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, could it be Cai Yu?

At this moment, Liu Biao became more energetic, and asked, "I don't know what De Gui said, what does it mean?"

You just pretend, you old widower, Cai Mao despised Liu Biao in his heart, and said: "Madam has passed away for three years, and the lord has been alone, it is really inconvenient."

In fact, this is a bit of a stretch.

Like Hua Yu, although Liu Biao no longer has a wife, there are still quite a few concubines in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

If it weren't for Liu Biao's age and not to be too rambunctious, I'm afraid he would be just like Hua Yu, singing and singing every night.

"Presumably the Lord Fu has also heard that my younger sister once said that if you are not a hero in this life, you will not marry."

"In Jingzhou, the only one who can be called a hero is the Fujun."

"Therefore, Cai Mao wants to ask the Fujun, do you have this intention?"

"Ah..." Although he was slightly prepared, Liu Biao couldn't help being excited after hearing Cai Mao's words.

Liu Biao was still not confused, of course he understood that Cai Mao felt the threat from the Kuai family and wanted to ensure the status of the Cai family through marriage.

However, it's good to have what you need.

Old cows eat young grass.

Thinking of Cai Yu's magnificent appearance, that exquisite and orderly figure, that snow-like jade skin, which are not comparable to those concubines in the mansion, Liu Biao's old cow heart is ready to move.

Liu Biao nodded with a smile: "If I can get Lingmei's favor, I will naturally agree."

"Tomorrow, the old man will order someone to choose an auspicious day and send someone to come to propose marriage."

"Oh, the imperial court has already decreed that the old man should be named General Zhennan, why not De Gui as the military adviser of General Zhennan's residence?"
