Kuai Liang neither admitted nor denied: "The king of the royal family was well in Xiangyang, but Sun Jian suddenly took a manifesto that was unknown to him and forced him to submit. However, his troops broke into Jingzhou without any obstruction. If there was no internal response, who would believe it?"

Cai Mao was sweating all over when he heard this.

He never expected that it was just a problem that the new governor of Jingzhou would not take office, and that people like Yuan Shu and Sun Jian could be involved.

I was in Jingzhou, but I never thought that the water in Jingzhou was so deep.

Kuai Liang continued: "After the death of Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang County, Yuan Shu will station his troops in Luyang and gradually erode Nanyang County. He will visit Jingzhou sooner or later... Let me ask Degui, if Yuan Shu comes, can Jingzhou still have a foothold in this Jingzhou?"

The Yuan family of Runan was famous in all the prefectures and counties, with military power and connections. If the Yuan family entered Jingzhou, they would strongly support the Su family and Bei family who had made contributions to it, and the interests of the other clans would be exploited.

Cai Mao had a lot of knowledge today. He bowed to Kuai Liang halfway and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Zirou's wake up, Mao would have almost made a wedding dress for others. Mao would go back to the house and leave the guests behind, so he would not see outsiders for the time being."

Kuai Liang did not comment, but said 'Waiting for my news', and ordered the coachman to urge the carriage and disappeared at the end of the street.

...

In the past few days, Liu Qi has been living in Yicheng County. While recuperating and adjusting, he carefully studied the military household lists of various counties and counties in Jingzhou sent from Xiangyang...

Liu Pan secretly arranged his subordinates to investigate the every move of the five major clans in Xiangyang.

...

"Boyu, the five major families have made some moves!" Early in the morning five days later, Liu Pan pushed open Liu Qi's door and rushed in.

At this moment, Liu Qi was holding Yi Jue Qingshui in his left hand and a small long stick in his right hand, and flipping back and forth in his mouth.

Liu Pan looked at Liu Qi who was brushing his teeth curiously and asked, "Boyu, what is this?"

"toothbrush."

Liu Qi picked up Yi Jue Qingshui, rinsed his mouth and spit it in the bowl, and said, "It's easy to make it with a mane embedded on a wooden stick. I'm going to find a craftsman to make a handle for you?"

Liu Pan shook his head vigorously: "Don't take that effort, I'm pretty good with willow branches, not as pretentious as you."

Liu Qi shrugged indifferently and refused to persuade him.

In terms of maintaining personal hygiene, he and Liu Pan cannot argue. The difference between health and epidemic prevention knowledge that is more than 1,800 years apart cannot be compensated by his simple words or two.

Let's live their own lives.

"Brother said just now, the five major families have made any moves?"

Liu Pan was excited and hurriedly said, "It's true that as you expected, three of the five major families secretly dispatched private soldiers to ambush near Bowang, trying to do something wrong."

Liu Qi walked to the front of the long case, put down the simple toothbrush in his hand, and asked, "Which three companies are there?"

"Bai, Su, Zhang!"

"Is there no movement between Cai and Kuai?"

"No!"

Liu Qi stared at Liu Pan seriously and confirmed: "Brother promised that he was not wrong?"

Liu Pan patted his chest confidently: "The soldiers sent by a certain group are all elite soldiers of the clan. When they pacified the Shanyang bandits, they also made many contributions. These small matters will definitely not be wrong!"

Although Liu Qi didn't know much about the strong soldiers of these Liu clans, he knew his cousin.

Liu Pan is straightforward. Although he sometimes loves to show off his face and is very boastful, he is not vague on key matters. If he is OK, he is OK. If he is not OK, he is not OK.

"It seems... Su Dai, Bei Yu, Zhang Fang, are the three of them enemies?" Liu Qi muttered.

"It should be."

Liu Qi asked again: "What about the people from Kuai and Cai? What are the actions?"

"The sent people said that the head of the Cai family and the Kuai family have been closed to their doors and have never left the palace. There was no movement in the servants in their palace and the private soldiers raised around Xiangyang."

"You really know the times and are a hero." Liu Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The Cai and Kuai families are sensible, so they can try to be allies."

Liu Qi's words excited Liu Pan: "In this way, are these two families friends?"

Looking at Liu Pan's excited expression, Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh.

The naive and cute problem has been dealt with again...

"Cousin, there is one thing you need to figure out. We can strive to be allies in the Cai and Kuai families, but we will never be friends with them... Do you understand?"

Obviously, Liu Pan didn't understand: "Doesn't friends and allies mean the same thing?"

"Of course not."

Liu Qi shook his head and explained: "Sometimes, allies will become more terrifying than their current enemies, but that's all afterthoughts. Now it's important to turn them into allies."

Liu Pan was confused by Liu Qi and had a headache.

The seven counties of Jingzhou have not yet been obtained, and the matter is so complicated. If my uncle really takes over the seven counties of Jingzhou, I don’t know how many more things will happen in the future!

Forget it, anyway, Bo Yu is here, so he has to think about it with brains.

"Boyu, how can we become allies with the Cai family and the Kuai family?"

"Wait! Wait until they come to the door."

Liu Pan said in surprise: "Wait? Is this possible? What if they don't come?"

Liu Qi said confidently: "The Cai and Kuai families cannot rebel with the other three tribes, which shows that they know the pros and cons and think deeply. People in the abyss are generally the best at weighing the pros and cons, and will not miss any developed opportunity... Don't worry, they will definitely come to me!"
