Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi continued: "If Zhou Mu has the appearance of a wise master, in the future, the Jingzhou family will come to vote one after another, and he will be the master of the military adviser. Yu Zhou Mu will naturally have great benefits, but what about the Cai family and the Kuai family?"

"That's all for the Kuai family. We are all civil servants, and we can't compete for the advantage of words. Only the military division holds the military power. How can others be willing?"

"Whether the rest of the aristocratic family is for public benefit or selfishness, the first thing to do when entering an official is to reduce the number of military divisions in the hands of the military division, so that the military division can be a real military division, or a general like General Wen. If I don't expect If it is bad, Zhou Mu will also push the boat along the way, dare to ask the military division, how will we deal with it at that time?"

Cai Mao couldn't help but nodded, his complexion darkened, he knew he was no match for the Kuai brothers in terms of resourcefulness, and the rest of the aristocratic families were not lacking in talents, if the situation Li Yi mentioned appeared, he really couldn't stop it.

It is impossible to raise troops to resist. Although his military power is great, he borrowed the name of Liu Biao.

However, if he lost his military power, how much power would he have left with Cai Mao?Afraid that newcomers laugh at old people and cry?How will he deal with himself then?

Li Yi took a look at Cai Mao's expression, drank another glass of wine, and said, "Military commander, don't worry, what I'm talking about is that the state shepherd can fully accept the hearts of Jingzhou's aristocratic family, and it's more likely to maintain the status quo. Jingzhou is still dominated by the Cai family and supplemented by the Kuai family, but at that time the crisis for the Cai family was coming from outside."

"Please also ask the Marquis Xiang to explain in detail."

Cai Mao saluted Li Yi, his attitude was much more polite than before.

Li Yi's eyes flashed with color, but he quickly suppressed it, reminding himself not to get carried away, and then calmed down, saying: "If the state herd intends to go south or enter the Central Plains after Jingzhou is settled, the premise must be a Jingzhou family. Effectiveness, so let’s not mention it for now, let’s just talk about the situation of defending Jingzhou today.”

Cai Mao saw that Li Yi's tone seemed a little disapproving, and said, "The implication of what the Marquis Xiang said is that the state shepherd must not be able to keep it?"

"That's natural."

"Why?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "Because among the princes in the world, Zhou Mu is the oldest. For this alone, Jingzhou will undoubtedly lose."

Cai Mao's breathing stopped suddenly. He admitted that what Li Yi said made sense, but wouldn't it be too embarrassing to beat Liu Biao to death in terms of age?

After a pause, Cai Mao said: "The eldest son Liu Qi is kind and filial, and has the style of state herdsmen. After a hundred years, the state herdsmen can continue the ambitions of state herdsmen!"

Li Yi remembered that in the TV series of the Three Kingdoms, Cai Hao bullied Liu Qi enough, which impressed him very much, but now he wants to speak for Liu Qi. Going through life and death for the eldest son?"

Cai Mao's unnatural expression immediately froze. He found that he couldn't argue with Li Yi at all.

Liu Biao has a great reputation, but Jingzhou also needs a nominal helmsman, so Cai Mao is willing to accept him and put Liu Biao as the leader, but Liu Qi

Not to mention that the relationship between Cai Hao and Liu Qi is mediocre, but Liu Qi himself is just a middle-of-the-road person, and it is nothing more than a middle-of-the-road shepherd in a troubled world.

Seeing that Cai Hao was speechless again, Li Yi smiled and said: "It seems that the military master also understands that most of Jingzhou will fall into the hands of others in the future. Either choose the master and serve as an official, or be a wealthy and idle person, if Zhou Mu's wife and children are smart, they can still save their lives, but the Cai family is very dangerous, and as for the military master himself, he is in a near-death situation!"

Chapter 159 Who is more suitable to be the Lord of Jingzhou

"What did you say!"

"This is impossible, my Cai family is in Jingzhou"

"No, why?"

Cai Mao murmured, pressing his hands hard on the table, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and his face turned pale.

Because of all the foreshadowings before, Cai Mao subconsciously chose to believe Li Yi's words instead of questioning them, but he may not even have noticed this.

"why?"

Li Yi asked a question back, and then laughed loudly: "Does the military master really not know? Although Zhou Mu has a great reputation, once he loses the power, he is nothing more than an old man, just like Cai Zhonglang in my military camp now. How can he make trouble? ?”

"As for civil servants like the Kuai family, their reputation and prestige are far inferior to those of the state herdsman. One day Jingzhou changes hands, even if there is resentment in their hearts, it will only be in their hearts. Even if they are not fully trusted by the new owner, they will be properly settled and easy to use. Come to buy people's hearts, and even, if you are obedient, it is not impossible to be a local governor and prefect."

"Ah, the only difference is that military divisions are different from others. They are well-known in Jingzhou, and they master soldiers and horses. With one order, tens of thousands of people can be armed with strength. Let me ask, who can rest assured?"

"Not to mention, Jingzhou has changed hands, and the new owner will inevitably kill people to establish his prestige and deter dissatisfaction. The military master himself said that he must not only establish prestige, but also avoid future disasters. Then, who is the most suitable person to be killed?"

"It's Cai."

Cai Hao said something with some difficulty, suddenly felt a cold back, and unknowingly broke out a lot of cold sweat, and then remembered that everything Li Yi said was just a hypothesis.

However, this assumption is plausible.

Li Yi poured the wine for himself again, savoring it slowly, and it seemed very limited. As for Cai Mao, since Li Yi began to reason with him, the wine in front of Cai Mao hadn't been touched again.

"call"

The room was very quiet, and it seemed that Cai Mao's rapid breathing sound was particularly eye-catching. After a long time, Cai Mao slowly suppressed the fear of the future in his heart, and then looked up at the very young man in front of him. Li Yi was like an ordinary scholar.

Cai Hao suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, even a little pitiful. As the second person in Jingzhou, he was terrified by Li Yi's few words, and he was really ashamed.

He felt that he should laugh three times at this moment, and then stand up and refute Li Yi's nonsense loudly. He could even call the guards to take Li Yi down. Only in this way can he not damage his reputation as Cai Mao.

However, Cai Hao found helplessly that it was okay to think about that kind of thinking, he didn't have that kind of confidence at all now, or in other words, his heart was already empty.

After a long time, Cai Hao suddenly picked up the wine cup in front of him, drank it down, didn't care if he choked, wiped the corners of his mouth, then stared at Li Yi with faint red eyes and asked, "Why did you tell me this, what is your purpose?" Where is it!"

Li Yi chuckled and said, "These words are just chatting."

Cai Hao stared at Li Yi and said nothing, Li Yi had no choice but to say: "Well, my purpose is to analyze the future situation of Jingzhou for the military division, so that the military division can choose a good way out for Jingzhou."

"Hahaha!"

Cai Hao burst out laughing fiercely, pointed at Li Yi and said, "Is the way out you mentioned being the Marquis Xiang himself?"

Without waiting for Li Yi to answer, Cai Hao said again: "After all, I just want my Cai family to give up the state shepherd and support Xianghou. Xianghou's move is too small for my Cai family. Isn't it a shame?"

"No and no."

Li Yi shook his head again and again, and said: "I have just arrived in Jingzhou, and I haven't even been to the Nanyang government office yet. It is indeed whimsical to ask the military division to give up the state priest just because of a conversation, and it is inevitable that I will belittle the military division, but."

After a pause, Li Yi raised his head, met Cai Mao's eyes, and said, "I am being honest with each other today, just to let the military master know that I have no malice towards the military master, the Cai family, and Jingzhou. I hope the military master can calm down Make up your mind and see who is more suitable to be the Lord of Jingzhou."

Cai Hao narrowed his eyes, Li Yi's ambition was no longer concealed, and he couldn't help killing Li Yi in his heart.

He admitted that Li Yi's previous analysis was very powerful, which made him feel ashamed, but he is not stupid, knowing that the disadvantages Li Yi said are just a possibility, not necessarily happening.

As for telling him to betray Liu Biao and support Li Yi because of this, that's even more impossible.

Although Li Yi has some reputation, compared to Liu Biao, it is far from enough for Li Yi to deter Jingzhou.

Moreover, Li Yi's performance made him a little scared. Although this person is young, he is definitely better than Liu Biao in terms of scheming. Who knows if he will be "killed to stand up" after he really supports Li Yi?

In addition, there is another very important point, that is, normal people are seduced by fame and fortune, but Li Yi blindly scares him, so Cai Mao can be sure that if Li Yi occupies Jingzhou, he will never do it again. No one in Jingzhou can be under one person or over ten thousand people. Similarly, the interests of the Cai family will also be damaged.

Seeing that Cai Hao's expression was a bit wrong, Li Yi knew that he seemed to be in a hurry, and he sighed secretly in his heart, and said, "Military commander, don't be nervous, I want to ask the military commander to wait and see for three years, and see how Xiangyang and Nanyang will be after these three years. , and then talk about who is more suitable to be the Lord of Jingzhou, I can swear by high-five with the military master, if after three years the military master thinks that I am just for the benefit of words, he will lead the deployment to go north to the Central Plains and no longer participate in the affairs of Jingzhou, how? ?”

Li Yi said this, but he was thinking in his heart. After making a three-year agreement, in fact, as long as he can stabilize Cai Mao for half a year, it is enough, because it is only one year in his heart that he has Jingzhou. With this time, he has great confidence Tell Cai Mao to completely fall to himself.

"what!"
