Liu Jue didn't want to say anything more about Cai Mao's clumsy behavior. After all, the two had different positions. As long as Cai Mao didn't cause any trouble to him, that would be fine.

After all, if a clan wants to survive in troubled times, it must find more ways out. The cunning rabbit still has three holes.

There is no need for Liu Jue to fall out with Cai Hao because of this. That is something only children would do.

"Uncle, from now on my nephew will be in charge of Jingzhou and he will need your help. Liu Jue said with a smile.

"Jue'er, you can rest assured that your uncle knows what to do and what not to do."How could Cai Hao not know what Liu Jue meant.

Liu Jue looked at Cai Hao and sighed in his heart. His uncle had deliberately planned to continue the Cai family, but during the Yongjia Rebellion a hundred years later, the Cai family was not dead yet.

While the two were talking, the motorcade arrived at the Zhennan General's Mansion. Accompanied by Cai Mao, Liu Jue entered the mansion after being away for many days. Liu Jue first went to see his mother, Mrs. Cai. Probably because of Liu Biao's expression, Cai The lady doesn't look very good

"Jue'er, you are finally back."

Mrs. Cai took Liu Jue's hand and sighed:"Your father is ill this time and can only breathe. What should I do in the future?"

"Mother, isn’t there still a son here?"Liu Jue quickly comforted him, and then asked:"How is father's illness?"

"Hey, the doctor said it can take a day. Mrs. Cai sighed and said:"Your father is already over sixty, and this time he vomited a mouthful of blood. This hurts his vitality. Even young people can't bear it, let alone his age."

Liu Jue chatted with Mrs. Cai for a while and said,"Mom, let me go and see my father.""

"Well, you have made great achievements this time. Your father has been waiting for your return for a long time!

When Mrs. Cai said this, she suddenly lowered her voice and said,"Did your uncle tell you?" Your father has issued an edict to let you inherit Jingzhou.

Liu Jue nodded and said,"I already know." Mrs. Cai touched Liu Jue's cheek and said with great relief:"It's my son who kept up the good work and didn't let your two brothers take Jingzhou away.""

Liu Jue smiled helplessly, and then led by Mrs. Cai to Liu Biao's room.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Liu Jue walked into the room and saw Liu Biao sitting on the bed. He seemed to be in good spirits. It's just that his face is very withered, giving people the feeling of being exhausted.

"Father, I'm back!"Liu Jue immediately walked up and bowed to Liu Biao

"Just come back! You did a great job in pacifying Jingnan this time, and you finally did not disappoint me!"Liu Biao laughed a few times, and like Mrs. Cai, his eyes were filled with relief.

"Is father's health okay?"Liu Jue asked.

Liu Biao asked Mrs. Cai and the others to go out, then looked at Liu Jue and said,"Jue'er, my father's body is not ready, and I can live one day at a time. You must also know that I have decided to hand Jingzhou into your hands.

Liu Jue was not so pretentious and said immediately:"My son will definitely live up to his father's instructions." Liu

Biao coughed and said,"I know what you're capable of. I feel relieved to leave Jingzhou to you. Your two brothers are too mediocre to defend Jingzhou.""

Liu Jue said nothing, waiting for Liu Biao's next words.

Then Liu Biao continued:"Jue'er, when you take charge of Jingzhou in the future, what will you do to your two brothers? Liu

Jue pondered for a moment and said,"After all, they and I are brothers. As long as they are honest, I won't do anything to them." When Liu

Biao heard this, instead of getting angry, he smiled and said,"I am very happy as a father because you are telling the truth. If you say something nice, I will be angry.""

After coughing, Liu Biao continued:"Those who achieve great things must not be soft-hearted. As a father, I am not decisive enough, so I can only guard Jingzhou and cannot go further."

"When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other in Guandu, Yuan Shao wanted to cooperate with me to deal with Cao Cao. Kuai Yue advised me to help Cao Cao. But I was very hesitant at the time, and in the end no one helped me, and I missed the opportunity to go north to the Central Plains. Liu

Biao looked at Liu Jue and said,"When you came here just now, did Cai Mao say anything to you?"

Liu Jue replied:"I didn't say anything, but my uncle wants to marry my cousin to me.""

"He actually had a good plan. Liu

Biao snorted, and then said:"People like Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, don't think that I don't know. They all want Cao Cao in their hearts." However, the Cai family and the Kuai family are very powerful, so don’t quarrel with them unless you have to."

"Don't worry, father, your son is sensible."Liu Jue nodded.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the powerful gentry were very powerful. People like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Quan all relied on the support of the powerful to get started.

After all, in troubled times, one who wants to dominate , the competition is money and food, and the competition is soldiers and horses, but where do the money, food, soldiers and horses come from? Of course, we have to rely on the powerful gentry.

Because this is an era of gentry, most of the land and economic lifeline of the court are controlled by the powerful gentry. In their hands, the common people are also dependent on them.

Therefore, no matter which warlord wants to become bigger, he must get the support of the powerful noble family.

Needless to say, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan family is the fourth generation and the three princes, and the Yuan family of Runan is the top The noble family is a wealthy family, so both brothers can rule the roost.

In Jiangdong, the Sun family can gain a firm foothold because of the support of the Wu family, Zhu family, Zhang family and other powerful families in Jiangdong. Without their support, the Sun family would not be able to get involved. Jiangdong.

Cao Cao initially relied on the Yanzhou nobles to make his fortune. Later, Cao Cao and Chen Gong fell out, and Chen Gong was the representative of the Yanzhou nobles. So the Yanzhou nobles united against Cao Cao, welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and almost brought down Cao Cao. Not to mention Liu Biao, who entered Jingzhou single-handedly and relied on the support of the Cai family, Kuai family and other big families to successfully capture Jingzhou.

And Liu Bei has been funded by Youzhou businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping over the years, and later When he was in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu provided money and food again. He gave five thousand as a servant and a younger sister.

Historically, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang. In addition to being interested in Zhuge Liang's talents, he also had Zhuge Liang's huge network of connections behind him..

Zhuge Liang’s eldest sister is married to the Kuai family, his second sister is married to Pang Degong’s son, and his wife Huang Yueying is from the Huang family. They are all famous families in Jingzhou, so Liu Bei must invite Zhuge Liang to come out.

Of course, now Zhuge Liang has been intercepted by Liu Jue , Pang Tong is also under his command, it is difficult for Liu Bei to have a chance to rise.

Without the support of the nobles, Liu Bei can only dream.

So now, there are actually many nobles standing behind Liu Jue, even if Liu Biao hands over Jingzhou Liu Qi or Liu Cong, these two people can't hold on at all, and they can't compare with Liu Jue.
