"Second General, Third General..." Upon hearing that Liu Yu and Liu Xiu had returned together, all the senior officials in Jingbei in Xiangyang began to sit still.
Of these two people, one of them may soon be the new Lord of Jingbei.
At this time, those once wavering civil and military officials should also consider which side they should stand on. It was time for those ministers who once belonged to Liu Biao's line to make a choice.
Generally speaking, at this time, those who want to be neutral are the most annoying. If the two sides fight, they may work together to eliminate the neutrals who have variables first.
"The three generals, the old lord and the eldest son have died one after another. In the future, it will be the three generals who will raise the banner in Jingbei!" The head of a small aristocratic family was the first to express his stance, and the person he supported was clearly the third child Liu Xiu.
For example, Cai and Kuai, the two largest aristocratic families in Jingzhou, although some disturbances will affect them, they will not be irreversible.
No matter which one of Liu Xiu and Liu Yu takes the top position, he cannot completely escape the assistance of these two aristocratic families. Therefore, they have far more choices and more time to choose.
But these small aristocratic families are different. When it comes time to take sides, they don't dare to drag it out. The storms that the big aristocratic families can resist are tantamount to annihilation for these small aristocratic families.
Therefore, after they have chosen their target, they can only grit their teeth and stand there, even if the consequences of failing to stand in line are something they cannot bear. Not everyone has the qualifications to be a wallflower.
"The second general is very brave and has many military exploits since the Yellow Turbans. If we, Jingbei, want to gain a foothold in this troubled world, we still need to rely on the second general!" Compared to the head of the small aristocratic family just now, the person who spoke this time In terms of weight, it is much heavier. He is from the Kuai family in Jingzhou.
As one of the two top aristocratic families in Jingzhou, the effect of Kuai En's words is much stronger than that of others.
Moreover, what Quine said is not bad. When it comes to fighting, Liu Xiu may not be inferior to Liu Yu. However, Liu Yu came out early, had many more opportunities to perform than Liu Xiu, and had more merit in battle. Therefore, from the perspective of outsiders, Liu Yu's martial arts is superior to Liu Xiu's.
Kuai En, a general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has been the first to attack every crisis since he followed Liu Yu. He often captured the enemy's positions and defeated them without avoiding danger. He fought more than a hundred times, and he was seriously injured many times.
Not only was Quin well versed in battle formations, he was also extremely courageous, sincere and loyal, and had never made any mistakes. As one of Liu Yu's earliest subordinates, Kuai En had influenced the Kuai family in all aspects a long time ago, and even Kuai Yue, a great strategist, was attracted to Liu Yu's side.
As the younger brother of Kuai Liang, the leader of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue's position is likely to affect the decision of Kuai Liang and even the entire Kuai family to a certain extent.
After Kuai En spoke, Kuai Tong and Kuai Qi stood behind Liu Xiu at the right time, which not only showed their support for Liu Xiu, but also weakened Kuai En's influence.
As the leader of a large family, Kuai Liang naturally needs to consider the development and survival of the entire family immediately. Therefore, when Kuai En and Kuai Yue took refuge in Liu Yu, Kuai Tong and Kuai Qi took refuge in Liu Xiu.
In this way, no matter who wins or loses between Liu Yu and Liu Xiu in the end, or who of these two takes the top position, their Kuai family will still be the same Kuai family.
Kuai Qi is a native figure of the Kuai family of the Three Kingdoms, and he is also a wise and benevolent person. After Liu Biao entered Xiangyang, he issued an edict to worship Kuai Yue as the prefect of Zhangling and granted him the title of Marquis of Fanting. Kuai Qi married Zhuge Gui's daughter and Zhuge Liang's eldest sister, and became the prefect of Fangling. Later, Liu Bei pacified Hanzhong and ordered Mengda to attack Fangling, but was killed by Mengda's soldiers.
As for Kuai Tong, his origin is older. His real name is Kuai Che, and he was a debater in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. He was an unparalleled eloquent and good at stating the interests and harms. He was a counselor of Han Xin and successively proposed the strategy of destroying Qi and dividing the world. After Han Xin's death, he was captured by Liu Bang and released without charge, and became the guest of Prime Minister Cao Shen. At the same time, he is also the ancestor of the Kuai family in Jingzhou in history.
The performance of Kuai En and Kuai Tong also made many people from small aristocratic families present extremely envious. This is the case for these big families. When encountering this kind of situation, they can make some investments under each candidate.
In this way, no matter who wins in the end, their interests can be protected. But for small aristocratic families like them, they don't have the foundation to invest in multiple companies at the same time. Therefore, although they are very envious in their hearts, they can only be envious.
"General Kuai's words make sense. My second brother has made great achievements in battle. If we, Jingbei, want to gain a foothold in the troubled times, we really cannot do without our second brother as a general!" Liu Xiu said while nodding in agreement.
However, when Liu Xiu said this, people on Liu Yu's side would not easily think that Liu Xiu had given up. This kid must have something to say.
Sure enough, the next moment, their expectations were verified.
"In the future, my second brother will serve as the general of Jingbei, commanding the troops and sweeping the four directions. I, the son of Jingbei, will be able to go anywhere without any disadvantage!"
"Brother Xiu is so complimentary. Even my brother knows his talents. In the future, if Brother Xiu is willing to serve as the Prime Minister of our country of Chu, our country, Jingchu, will have long-term peace and stability!" Liu Yu replied tit for tat.
One of these two people said that the other could be a general, and the other said that the other could be the prime minister. Aren't they just saying that the other was not qualified to be the King of Chu?
Of course, if these two people are here, even if they fight too hard, it is impossible to decide the final destination. If you want to get a final result, it still depends on who has more cards, who has higher means, and who has stronger power!
But this time, these two people have a common goal to win over, which is the Cai family who are on the same level as the Kuai family in Jingzhou.
Although the Cai family, because of the emergence of Liu Xiu and Liu Yu, their power in Jingzhou was incomparable to that of the same period in history, and their control of military power was reduced to its lowest point. But the addition of such a big family is enough to bring them many chances of winning.
Although there are countless aristocratic families in Jingzhou, there are only a few that can play a sufficient role in this struggle.
Liu Cong's original wife was Mrs. Cai's niece. Therefore, Mrs. Cai and even the Cai family supported Liu Cong. But now Liu Cong, who had little chance of winning, is now even more useless. Under this situation, it is time for the Cai family to make a new choice.
As for Liu Xiu and Liu Yu, the first target they must fight for is the Cai family.
