Kuai Yue is a smart man. When Chen Yuan asked this question, he knew that Chen Yuan was eyeing the Cai family.
If the Cai family is interested and is willing to get on the same train as the Kuai family, then they will also gain more benefits.
If you are ignorant and want to fight against the state pastoral government, the consequences will be needless to say.
By this time, Kuai Yue had fully realized Liu Bei's power.
A second-grade strong man like Zhao Yun is just a partial general, so Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and that Taishi Ci must also be second-grade strong men. Otherwise, how can they convince people?
Because Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shi Ci had higher official positions.
In this way, there are four second-grade strong men. With such power, let alone suppressing a Cai family, even if the entire Nanjun family unites, they will not be their opponent.
What's more, he is still the governor of the imperial court, and he has great righteousness. If he wants to deal with you, a powerful family in Xiangyang, it can be said that it can be said to be a snap.
Logically speaking, the Cai family should be sensible.
But Kuai Yue knew very well that the Cai family would probably be ignorant.
Today, the head of the Cai family is Cai Mao.
Cai Mao is naturally capable and not weak.
Of course, it means he is no longer weak. It doesn't matter how strong he is. Anyway, Kuai Yue believed that Cai Mao's cleverness and planning ability were far inferior to his own.
However, there is a problem.
Cai is very strong.
It can be said that he is the most powerful in Xiangyang, and even the most powerful in Nanjun.
The strength of the Cai family lies first in wealth. The wealth of the Cai family is higher than that of other counties. They built an island in the middle of the river and named it Caizhou. The Cai family lived on it, and it was like a small country.
Secondly, Cai’s strength lies in her connections.
Cai Mao's father was Cai Xi, who was a famous scholar and had a good reputation among the Han scholars.
His elder sister married Taiwei Zhang Wen, his eldest daughter married Huang Chengyan, and his younger daughter is now in the harem. If history goes by the way, she will later marry Liu Biao.
Let me tell you about Zhang Wen. He was once the superior of Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others. He was ordered to defeat the rebellion of Han Sui, Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, which shocked the world.
Moreover, Zhang Wen is still in power, and the Cai family has this in-law, so the momentum is naturally huge.
Huang Chengyan, listed by Gao Shuangliang, was a famous scholar in Mianyang. He had a good relationship with Pang Degong and Sima Hui, and later became Zhuge Liang's father-in-law.
The connections derived from it are scary to death.
Therefore, all these have created one of Cai Mao's characteristics: he is extremely arrogant and looks at people by their nostrils. Especially in Jingzhou and Nanjun, Cai Mao basically regards himself as a leader of the group.
Regardless of personal or family interests, Cai Mao would most likely not agree with Chen Yuan's three strategies.
After thinking about it, Kuai Yue said: "The Cai family has a large population and a great reputation. It is ranked first in Nanzhou. The head of the family, Cai Degui, is proud of his nature and is very self-willed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade him. It's better for him to make other plans if he is still in vain."
.”
Kuai Yue's words mean that the Cai family is very powerful. It occupies a lot of land and population in Xiangyang and Jingzhou, and its reputation is very high. The head of the family, Cai Mao, is a person who thinks very highly of himself. I'm afraid he won't be persuaded by you.
Chen Yuan nodded, it was pretty much what he thought.
The Cai family was very powerful in history, especially after Cai Mao and his sister married Liu Biao, Jingzhou was almost controlled by the Cai family.
Later, Cai Shi pulled Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao, although the ending was not bad and he was made a marquis.
Of course, this is also because Cai Mao and Cao Cao are classmates. They both studied calligraphy with Liang Hu, so the relationship between the two should be good.
Later, after Cai Mao surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao went to Cai Mao's house.
Cao Cao visited Mao's house, entered Cai Mao's private room, called to see his wife and children, and said to Cai Mao: "De Gui, so I recall that we met Liang Mengxing (Liang Hu) in the past. Did Meng Xing not see him? I heard that I am here now, what about that?"
I’ll see you in person!”
At that time, Cai Mao's family lived on Caizhou. Their house was very gorgeous, and the four walls were all made of bluestone. There were hundreds of maids and concubines in the house, and there were forty or fifty separate properties.
To be honest, Cai Mao is such a big-hearted person that he would let his wife Cao see his wife and children. Is he really not afraid of his head turning green?
It can be seen from the above that Cai Mao is a person who puts the interests of the family first and does not hesitate to sell his old owner at critical moments.
It is absolutely impossible for such a person to agree with Chen Yuan's three policies.
Since the Cai family cannot be won over, the only option is to suppress or even destroy them to avoid future troubles.
However, it cannot be done too obviously, and some planning and means are needed. Otherwise, if other powerful people see it, they will inevitably feel bitter and pitiful.
Therefore, Mrs. Cai still wanted to visit and put on a show for the people in Quannan County and Jingzhou.
To avoid making others suspicious if he kills the Cai family later.
These thoughts were swirling around in Chen Yuan's mind, but Chen Yuan didn't say anything.
Instead, he laughed and said: "The Cai family is strong and the head of the family is bound to be bold and generous. Is Yidu interested in visiting Cai Degui with me and appreciating the elegance of Nanzhou Crown?"
Kuai Yue was a little surprised by Chen Yuan's attitude. Logically speaking, Chen Yuan should not behave like this.
After all, the Cai family will most likely stand opposite you. With such a strong enemy, you should be heavy-handed.
Why are you still laughing?
However, no matter what Chen Yuan thought, Kuai Yue decided to go with Chen Yuan.
They are both powerful families in Xiangyang, and they have a certain degree of friendship. If possible, Kuai Yue would like to persuade Cai Hao. Even if he cannot fully accept Chen Yuan's three strategies, he should at least show some expression to avoid being wiped out by his family without knowing it.
.
Kuai Yue nodded: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to invite you."
After making some preparations, Chen Yuan took Kuai Yue with him to Caizhou.
Caizhou is a small island built by the Cai family on the river, and the Cai family basically lives on it.
Halfway through, Chen Yuanrao said something profound, which made Kuai Yue break into a cold sweat.
"Brother Yidu, a gentleman should be careful in his words and deeds. If people are not close to each other, they will lose their virginity. If the clan is not close, they will destroy the family. Do you think this is true, Brother Yidu?"
Kuai Yue was confused at first, and then horrified in his heart.
He understood what Chen Yuan meant and told him not to tell the truth.
Tell any secret, most likely it will be the secret to destroy Cai.
It seems that Chen Yuan has already made up his mind to destroy the Cai family.
However, since he decided to destroy the Cai family, why did Chen Yuan still go to visit the Cai family?
Yes, it must be to eliminate suspicion, so that everyone in Jingzhou's powerful family will not be in danger and unite to fight against the state pastoral government.
What a profound calculation.
Is this Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu so scary?
It seems that you have to be careful in your actions in the future, otherwise, you might be targeted by Chen Zichu at some point.
When Chen Yuan saw that Kuai Yue understood what he meant, he was a little scared of Kuai Yidu.
So, Chen Yuan smiled at Kuai Yue: "Brother Yidu, don't think too much, my lord has always been lenient. Even if the Cai family does not agree with the three policies of the Prefectural Mufu, he will definitely not have any jealousy towards the Cai family.
My lord, he walks the right path and behaves like a spring breeze."
Chen Yuan is using Liu Bei to comfort Kuai Yue's brother. Don't be afraid. Even if the Cai family is unwilling to get on the bus, we will not kill the Cai family completely and will leave a way for them to survive.
