179 , the plan to start the scorpion and the person who weaves the web
The Jingzhe plan is the plan to eliminate Cai.
On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head. On the second day of the second lunar month, everything is shaken, and the tremors are like thunder, so it is called Jingzhe.
Therefore, in order to keep it secret, it was named Jingzhe Project.
It also means to confuse others.
Because the day of the Waking of Insects does not necessarily fall on February.
This is Chen Yuan's idea, it's perfect.
Everyone present is the core of Liu Bei Group, so you naturally know what the Jingzhe Plan is.
Liu Bei nodded: "The time has come, let's launch it, but remember to be careful and invisible, so that the Cai family cannot discover it in advance."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled and pointed at everyone present: "As long as you gentlemen are planning, I can just sit back and relax."
Just kidding, if you Xi Zhicai, Gu Yong, Tian Feng and Jushu planned to deal with a Cai family, wouldn’t they be able to capture it easily?
This lineup, let alone the Cai family, is very reliable even when planning a military campaign.
Gu Yong was a great political talent, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng and Jushou were all top military leaders.
With the four of them working together, almost no one in the world can hide this from them.
Unless there are Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu on the opposite side.
Even so, the outcome cannot be known until you have done it.
What's more, the Cai family doesn't even have a Pang Tong.
Among the Cai family, only Cai Mao and Cai Xi have some ability, and Cai Xi is stronger than Cai Hao.
But if the two of them want to compete against these four people, that's just a fool's errand.
Liu Bei also smiled when he heard this: "What Zichu said is true. With the help of four gentlemen, Bei can really sit back and relax."
The four of them humbly said they did not dare.
Everyone had enjoyed the dinner so much that they went back to their homes to find their mothers.
In the days that followed, everyone performed their duties.
Gu Yong was mainly responsible for mobilizing powerful officials related to the Cai family. This mobilization was very clever.
This was also suggested by Chen Yuan and was called the Jingzhou Officials Progress Plan.
It means mobilizing a large number of officials to come to Xiangyang to study and attend the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy.
This time, not only powerful officials related to the Cai family were mobilized, but other officials were also mobilized.
And Liu Bei made a promise that those who pass this study can be promoted.
Therefore, no one refused, and it was too late to be happy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of these people to study in Xiangyang, the imperial students sent out took the opportunity to take power.
When these people go back after three months of training, they will definitely be completely different.
It can also cultivate a group of officials who can keep up with the policies of the state and pastoral government.
Kill three birds with one stone.
In fact, Chen Yuan learned from the policies of our party in later generations.
Advance learning.
I understand everything.
Such a big move in Jingzhou's officialdom could not be hidden from the Cai family and his son.
Above Caizhou, in the Xuhuai Courtyard, the Cai family's father and son sat facing each other and played chess.
Cai Mao is in charge of black, Cai Xi is in charge of white.
Cai Mao gave birth to a child in his heart and took away Cai Xi's fourth son.
"Father, what is Liu Bei's intention with this move?"
Cai Xi didn't seem to care at all about the four sons who were taken away from his heart, and still made plans in the corners.
"Degui, do you know that a dove occupies a magpie's nest?"
When Cai Mao heard this, his eyes flashed.
"Father, what you mean is that Liu Bei is seizing power over the counties?"
Cai Xi nodded: "Liu Xuande is a person. This move without leaving any trace will not only convince Jingzhou officials, but also allow his own people to occupy important positions in Jingzhou counties and completely control Jingzhou. It is really powerful."
Cai Hao made another move, and seemed to be dissatisfied: "It's just an ordinary official method."
Cai Xi glanced at Cai Mao and suddenly filled in a word in the upper right corner.
Suddenly, in the entire upper right corner, Cai Mao was captured as many as five or six sons.
As a result, Cai Xi occupied almost the entire four corners, and Cai Mao's dark spots were almost all in his heart, surrounded by Cai Xi.
Cai Mao's expression changed and he immediately surrendered.
"My father is so good at chess that I am ashamed of myself."
Cai Xi was not happy, and while playing with the chess pieces in his hand, he said: "Degui, your behavior is similar to that of playing chess. You like to take the initiative and use your heart and soul. This can certainly stabilize the core. It is not a big deal to run the family by doing this.
There are obstacles, but there will be a very big flaw when fighting with others and politics."
"Where is the flaw?"
Cai Hao did not answer but said: "The way of playing chess is known as the gold horn, silver border and grass belly. Do you know?"
Cai Mao nodded: "This is a beginner's talk, and Mao naturally knows it."
"It's a pity that you know it but can't act on it."
When Cai Mao heard this, he immediately felt reluctant.
He knew that his father was right, he just liked to occupy the central position to show his power.
Therefore, when playing chess, the starting point is Tianxin.
The first son likes to be on top of Tianxin.
Tianxin is the center of the entire chessboard.
The same is true for chess playing, and the same is true for family layout. Once Cai Mao became the head of the family, most of his energy was spent on consolidating Caizhou, and at most it could be expanded to the vicinity of Xiangyang.
There is much less attention paid to other places in Jingzhou.
"In the past few years, except for Xiangyang, you have had very few contacts with powerful people in other places."
Although what Cai Xi said makes sense, Cai Mao has his own ideas.
"Father, the powerful people in Jingzhou respect our Cai family. As long as our Cai family can remain strong enough, even if we don't contact them, they won't dare to betray us, so why bother to maintain it."
Cai Xi sighed, his son was quite intelligent, but his temper was not good enough.
He thinks highly of himself and disdains the dealings with other powerful people. This is shaking the big network that the Cai family has set up in Jingzhou.
A network must not only be strong at the core, but also at each node, so that it can cover the entire Jingzhou.
Otherwise, once a certain node collapses, this network will be useless, and Jingzhou will fly out of the Cai family's network.
There is already this trend.
Liu Bei has now severely shaken this net, and is even ready to tear it apart with scissors.
As a fisherman, Cai Hao didn't notice at all. This was a critical situation.
"Mao'er, do you think I am Cai Jiaqiang or Yuan Jiaqiang?"
Cai Hao was stunned when he heard this.
"Why would my father ask this? Although our Cai family dominates Nanzhou, the Yuan family has four generations and three sons, and its disciples and former officials are all over the world. How can our Cai family dare to compare with the Yuan family?"
Cai Xi's expression changed when he heard this: "Since you also know that the Yuan family's disciples and former officials are all over the world, why do you still focus on Xiangyang and underestimate the other counties in Jingzhou? The web weaved by our Cai family is almost broken!"
When Cai Mao heard this, he suddenly became excited.
Yes, the Yuan family is so awesome, and they have many good relationships, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world.
The Cai family is just the crown of Nanzhou, so what qualifications do they have to enclose the territory of the Self-League?
Cai Mao suddenly woke up now.
When Cai Mao came to his senses, he looked ashamed: "What my father taught me was that I was wrong."
