Scenes like the Cai family took place in every corner of Jingzhou. Those aristocratic families received invitations from Chen Shen and some people frowned and wondered if this was Kuai Liang's handwriting. Kuai Liang, an old bachelor in Jingzhou, is very famous in Jingzhou. He wants to marry a concubine?

Some people were smiling, and there were two kinds of smiles in them. The first one was ridicule, that was, the kind of ridicule. They were happy to go after they got the invitation because they wanted to see the joke of the Kuai family's lance. The other one was really a blessing. Kuai Langzi finally figured it out and asked the servants to prepare gifts. After all, where is Kuai Liang's status? Naturally, the gifts cannot be shabby.

"Is Zirou going to marry a concubine?!" In the inner city of Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue also received this invitation. His first thought when he received the invitation was that he did not believe it, because Kuai Liang was his only younger brother, and his understanding of his second brother was even deeper than that of himself. Kuai Yue could think of him as he could think of.

Kuai Yue wanted to be a good brother, but he had a family and could only be a good head of the family. It was precisely because Kuai Yue thought of the first thing that happened to him was the family. Therefore, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang had a deep conflict. Kuai Liang wanted to help Liu Biao fight in the world so that their lord Liu Biao could truly become the overlord of the world.

But Kuai Yue didn't think so. Conglong is good, just like people like Zhang Liang and Xiao He left behind a masterpiece of eternal songs in history books, but you must know that Conglong is a minority after all, and most of them are not a good ending in the end, such as Fan Zeng, Zhong Limei, and Ying Bu, who are around Chu Bawang. Who has a good ending? It would be fine if Liu Biao was an ambitious person. Then he just wanted to fight hard, but Liu Biao was an indecisive person.

Not only that, how did their lord take Jingzhou? Kuai Yue naturally knew that when Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he was alone and able to take Jingzhou so quickly because Liu Biao knew how to divide the gentry. He entered Jingzhou to brush a group of gentry, such as the Kuai family, the Cai family, among which the gentry were brushed. He also suppressed a group of gentry, such as the Deng family, Wang family, and Liu Biao was using the gentry to deal with the gentry. Although this was good, he could quickly pacify Jingzhou and keep the foundation of Jingzhou unchanged, but this was also a very big disadvantage, that is, there were still so many gentry members, but some gentry members became aristocratic families, and some were demoted to become aristocratic families.

One of the biggest shortcomings of the gentry is that they all focus on their own family, and everything is based on their own interests. In order to obtain the limited resource market in Jingzhou, they will naturally deal with each other. The Kuai family and the Cai family are a group, and the Huang family is another faction. There are also the neutral Lumen Academy Pang family, etc. Jingzhou is nominally the Jingzhou of Liu Biao, but in fact it is Jingzhou of aristocratic families. It would be good that Liu Biao's Liu family can occupy one-third of the status in Jingzhou at most. How can such a Jingzhou fight the world? Haven't you seen the ending of Yuan Shao? Jingzhou is just a smaller version of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has four generations and three dukes, and he still loses. You can see the ending of Jingzhou's battle for the world.

Among the few families who can win the world now, such as Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce, which of these people is not a single word in their respective territories. Cao Cao uses the emperor to command the princes. The power of his subordinates is not in the hands of the gentry of Fuwan Dong, but in the hands of the military generals of Cao Cao. Sun Ce has captured Jiangdong with three thousand soldiers. Therefore, the people of Jiangdong are also very recognized by the little overlords. Sun Ce supports his relatives, such as the Sun family, the Zhou family of Wu, as the bearer of Jiangdong's power, and Lu Bu is even more scruples, because Lu Bu has only two territory under his command, one is Lujiang. The gentry of Lujiang has been completely killed by Lu Bu's good son-in-law, Liu Mang, King of Shu. Yangzhou is deserted, and Liu Mang is just a rebuilt person, and naturally there will be no gentry.

When will a dynasty be destroyed, it is when the power of the gentry is greater than that of the imperial power, it is the end of a dynasty.

Once the war starts, it’s okay if you win. Once you lose and are liquidated, the Kuai family will be the first to be affected, because after all, it was your Kuai Liang who proposed to fight. At that time, you will not lose one Kuai Liang, but the entire Kuai family. So Kuai Yue can’t afford to bet, so he won’t go!

This is the biggest reason for the estrangement between the two brothers. One is the foe faction, the other is the foe. Even the Kuai family and the Cai family have begun to contact the next trumpet, so naturally there is nothing to say. Kuai Liang moved out of the Kuai Mansion and lived in the outer city.

Shortly after Kuai Liang left, Kuai Liang's wife passed away. Kuai Liang, an old bachelor of diamond king and fifth level in Jingzhou, naturally many aristocratic families were making plans.

Although Kuai Liang is old, many aristocratic families really want to marry their daughters or sisters to Kuai Liang, so that they can board the Kuai family's big ship. If this is a chain of interests, you can see that Liu Biao in Jingzhou married Cai Mao's sister. The difference between the two is nearly 30 years old, and Mrs. Cai and Liu Qi are about the same age.

Another surnamed Liu is even more shameless. He directly married someone equivalent to his niece. Liu Bei was a little older than Sun Jian, but in the end he took Sun Jian's youngest daughter. These marriages were for the benefit of the gentry.

But so many aristocratic families were disappointed, and Kuai Liang didn't want anyone. He just wanted to spend the rest of his life alone, and Kuai Yue was not easy to persuade him. After all, there was a gap between the two.

Now it seems that my younger brother is enlightened and wants to marry a concubine. He just doesn't know that he is a girl from the He family. There is no written on this invitation. There is only the Kuai family's concubine. After the difficulty, it will be the address and location.

"Have you ever found out which lady is from a family?" Kuai Yue asked his housekeeper.

"The head of the family! Never! The person who sent the letter was just this ranger, I didn't know anything about it!" the housekeeper replied.

"Yes!" Kuai Yue frowned. If you know which lady from a family, you can change some strategies. Which gentry can brush or something, or say hello to support each other in terms of your brother.

But now I don’t know which lady is a little difficult to deal with. "Forget it!" Kuai Liang’s invitation was too perfunctory, and the matter was urgent. Which one of them is not a matchmaker? It’s a matchmaker who said that his parents’ orders would be said first and then he would be able to get things done. Let’s watch it first. Will it be clear at night? Kuai Liang’s ability to marry a concubine is also a blessing for his Kuai family. After all, the Kuai family is not prosperous. It would be great if he could add one and half a person.

"Where is the eldest young master!" Kuai Yue is preparing to attend his younger brother's wedding in the evening. When he goes to the wedding, he naturally has to bring his only baby son. After all, they are all family members. Aren't his uncle's wedding? Moreover, Kuai Ran was brought to Kuai Liang since childhood, and his relationship is still good. Now the bridge connecting Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang in the Kuai family is Kuai Ran.

"The eldest young master has gone to visit friends, but he hasn't come back yet!" The housekeeper replied to his head. Why didn't the housekeeper know that Kuai Ran was going to the music hall, but the housekeeper was covering Kuai Ran. If Kuai Yue knew that his son had gone to the brothel, it would be a disaster when Kuai Ran came back.

"I haven't come back yet?" Kuai Yue frowned immediately. He had the urge to get angry. Although Kuai Yue was a good man in the officialdom and no one would offend him, he was indeed very strict with his son, because he had only such a descendant, and the Kuai family would be Kuai Ran from the future. Kuai Yue was naturally very strict. He didn't want him to be pioneering and enterprising, at least he had to ensure that the Kuai family would not decline.

"Send someone to call him back quickly! Let him attend his uncle's wedding banquet with me in the evening!" Kuai Yue waved his hand and said to the butler.

"Yes, yes!" said Kuai Yue. The housekeeper had already sent someone to the music hall to find Kuai Ran, but this person had not been found. Even the housekeeper found Manager Liu of the music hall. Manager Liu said that Mr. Kuai Ran had left with Mr. Wang Shu from Lumen Academy last night, and there were six girls when he left! If he just left, the housekeeper would not be worried, but these six girls! He was really afraid that his eldest young master would have some group activities, and he was so confused in the end that he was usually fine, but today it was not possible.

When the butler was about to leave, Kuai Yue suddenly called his butler, "What's the matter with the King of Shu?" Kuai Yue didn't know why, looking at the familiar handwriting and invitation in his hand, he suddenly thought of someone.

"King of Shu?" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that as soon as the son-in-law of Shu King Liu Mang and Lu Bu arrived in Jingzhou, the head of the family asked him to send someone to pay attention to the actions of Shu King. However, the Shu King's Mansion was too quiet in the past two days, so the housekeeper did not report immediately.

"The Shu King's Mansion is still eating, practicing swords, fishing and enjoying flowers like the previous few days!" The butler told Kuai Yue all the things on the Shu King's Mansion in the past few days.

"So calm?!" Kuai Yue was a little disbelief. You must know that this lord Liu Biao could hear what Pang Tong said. Not only did he not sell food and grass to Liu Bei, but he also did not sell it to Liu Mang. All the food and grass were taken back into the treasury. At this time, Liu Mang should have been running around and looking for someone to seek relationships, rather than being so calm now. Kuai Yue had already planned to use some excuses if Liu Mang sent someone to find his mansion to make excuses, but now these excuses seemed to be in vain.

"Yes!" The butler nodded. Kuai Yue told me that the butler would naturally not be careless. The butler sent nearly twenty people outside the Shu King's Mansion, which can be said to have already monitored the entire Shu King's Mansion.

"Is it true that my second brother's marriage has something to do with this Shu King?" Kuai Yue thought of the answer that was closest to the answer, but it was rejected by Kuai Yue himself. When the Shu King came, he brought a few guards and a Jia Xu. They were all men and no woman, so Kuai Liang must have married this woman from Jingzhou. As long as he was a woman from Jingzhou, he had no relationship with this Yangzhou. "Do you want to take the lead? Or something else?" Kuai Yue couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. The matter in Yangzhou had nothing to do with his Kuai family. This was the struggle between Pang family and Pang Tong and Shu King Liu Mang, and this was also the hatred between Liu Bei in Yuzhou and Lu Bu Lujiang, and his Kuai family had nothing to do with it. It didn't take long.

"The King of Shu continues to monitor. When the rebellious son comes back, you ask him to go bathing and changing clothes immediately to go with me in the evening!" Kuai Yue was a little tired. He was about to rest for a while and he had to attend a banquet in the evening. Of course, he had to drink. How could he go to the cup and make a round of cups without energy?

"Yes!" The butler nodded and retreated.

...

"Kuai Liang's wedding banquet?!" Pang Tong was naturally also received this invitation. This invitation was specially asked by Liu Mang to write it to Pang Tong. He wanted Pang Tong to witness his Liu Mang pulling Kuai Yue tied the Kuai family to Liu Mang's Yangzhou warship.

Pang Tong felt very uncomfortable after seeing the word Kuai Liang. Because this person was a faction in Yangzhou. Before Liu Mang came to Jingzhou, Kuai Liang gave him a lot of face. Even after he killed Liu Mang's envoy, he even suggested that Liu Biao killed him and went to Yangzhou to get the forgiveness of Liu Mang's army. Kuai Liang can be regarded as half of Liu Bei's enemy.

"We won't go to the military advisor!" A subordinate next to him asked carefully. He would only make things boring if he went to the enemy's wedding banquet.

"Go! Why not go~" Pang Tong's dark face was very dull and didn't know what he was thinking. "Since someone invited us, we naturally have to respond!" Naturally, the invitation has been sent. If Pang Tong didn't go, he obviously didn't know etiquette. He could still talk to some people when he went to Kuai Mansion.

"By the way, is there any movement in the mansion of this fake king Liu Mang recently?" Pang Tong asked his subordinates. If Kuai Yue monitored Liu Mang just for nothing, he would be neutral. Then Pang Tong pays attention to Liu Mang, that is, he wants to know himself and his enemy and never win a hundred battles.

"The mansion of the puppet king Liu Mang these days is very quiet. The puppet king Liu Mang eats, drinks and has fun just like usual!" The person in charge of monitoring Liu Mang's mansion replied.

"It's very quiet?" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment. He risked his life to persuade Liu Biao, making Liu Biao not want to help. His lord Liu Bei could not get food and grass, so he could not imagine that Yangzhou would not have it. At this time, Liu Mang should be an ant on a hot pan. He was so anxious that he could be so indifferent. How could he be so indifferent? Things are abnormal and there must be something evil.

"Kuai Liang marry a concubine?" Pang Tong's eyes turned to the invitation in his hand again, and the quietness of the mansion of the fake king Liu Mang. These two things must be related! "So that's it!" Pang Tong seemed to have thought of something. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Military advisor?!" The subordinates next to him looked at Pang Tong's expression in confusion as if they wanted Pang Tong to explain.

"I understand, what this fake king Liu Mang is thinking!" Pang Tong smiled coldly, "He has not made any movement in the past few days. It's not that he is not in a hurry, but that he is waiting for the opportunity, and today is the opportunity!" Kuai Liang and Pang Tong were not without investigation. This person is very stubborn and has the title of Kuai Lengzi. He has been widowed for a long time and has not taken a concubine, but today he suddenly got married and posted invitations.

There must be a problem with this. Pang Tong couldn't figure it out before, but now he figured it out that Kuai Liang would not marry his concubine sooner or later, and he had to ask for the past few days to create an opportunity for this fake king Liu Mang.

Liu Biao stopped selling food and grass to Yangzhou. Liu Mang must have to rely on his connections to find someone. He went to Liu Ping to explain in detail that if Liu Mang went to search one by one, it would be the same for him to find the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month, and it would be the same if he didn't see him.

But it would be different if Kuai Liang got a concubine. Who is Kuai Liang? He is Kuai Yue's younger brother and also a high-ranking official in Jingzhou. Kuai Liang would definitely send invitations to get married. Those aristocratic families would definitely be present to give face to the Kuai family. Liu Mang just needs to attend this banquet to get in touch with those people, once and for all, and needs to visit them one by one by one!

Kuai Liang really has good intentions. At such an age, he has to help Liu Mang who is in danger of his health.

"Then the military advisors do this now!" After hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Bei's subordinates were all anxious. Didn't they monitor Liu Mang just to prevent Liu Mang from finding people with connections? But now Liu Mang can see so many people once and for all, so isn't this monitoring in vain?

"Haha, if he wants to see him, I will let him not see him!" Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. If Kuai Liang had not invited him to Pang Tong, he might have been confused by Liu Mang, but now that he has given this invitation, then Liu Mang would not succeed.

"What a military advisor means?!"

"Kuai Liang held a banquet in the evening. The place of this banquet is in the outer city of Xiangyang!" Pang Tong picked up the invitation in his hand and watched it for his subordinates. "I need you to send people to make this fake king Liu Mang unable to defeat Kuai Liang's banquet!"

"Is the military advisor asking us to attack and kill the fake king Liu Mang?" Pang Tong's men felt that "Since the military advisor killed Liu Mang's envoy last time, the entire Jingzhou has been paying attention to us! It is difficult to use swords and swords in the city!" Pang Tong learned that Ban Chao killed Liu Mang's envoy and wanted to force Liu Biao to surrender and let Liu Biao start a war with Liu Mang, but he mistakenly calculated Liu Biao's courage and also mistakenly calculated the capable man from Jingzhou. After Liu Biao knew that it was Pang Tong who was a gangster, he would not kill Pang Tong. However, he was wary of Pang Tong. It would be okay to use swords and weapons outside the city. In this Xiangyang City, once swords and weapons are used, let alone the fake king Liu Mang, this Jingzhou Liu Biao would not spare Pang Tong. At that time, it would definitely affect and stop Liu Mang. It would be impossible to say that Liu Biao could still sell military rations to Yangzhou in anger, which would be a waste of trouble.

"Idiot! Do you have to use swords and weapons in this city to stop them?" Pang Tong spoke out bluntly and scolded his subordinates.

Liu Mang lived in the inner city, and Pang Tong and the others could not use swords and weapons. Similarly, Liu Mang and the others could not take out swords and weapons in public. Both sides had bare hands and fist, but Pang Tong had the upper hand, because Liu Mang was an outsider after all, how many people could he have under his command? Pang Tong had lived in Jingzhou since he was a child. It can be said that he was a local snake in Jingzhou. The Pang family was even more powerful in Jingzhou. It was very easy to find hundreds of people. At that time, as long as Liu Mang and the others were blocked in the inner city and could not get out, he would naturally not fall over Kuai Liang's mansion in the end. Liu Mang's plan would fail. In the end, Kuai Liang was not safe in his later years, and Liu Mang would not get the food and grass from Jingzhou, killing two birds with one stone.

"Military advisors are so talented, so talented!" Pang Tong's subordinates all lit up their eyes. Yes, in this inner city of Jingzhou, they cannot use swords and weapons, and the fake king Liu Mang can't do it either. Just find hundreds of people to block the road.

"Go! I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes too!" Pang Tong said with a smile. He had to prepare well. Liu Mang and Kuai Liang had such a hard-working plan, and wanted to let the heads of the gentry family gather together in the Kuai family. Isn't it just to have a chance to negotiate? Similarly, Pang Tong went there, which was also an opportunity for Pang Tong.

For example, this Jingzhou-native Kuai Yue is a neutral and fence-leader. Pang Tong visited Kuai Yue several times and made excuses for not being there, or just being perfunctory. How big can Jingzhou have in addition to Jiangxia on the front line?

There were many things in the front line before, but now the one who replaces Jingzhou in Jiangxia is his best friend and his lifelong enemy Zhuge Liang. Can Pang Tong not know Zhuge Kongming's ability? Even if Jiangdong cannot be pacified, at least the barrier of Jiangxia, the Jingzhou, will definitely not be lost. With Zhuge Kongming here, Jingzhou can maintain 30 years of peace.

Kuai Yue's excuse is summed up in one sentence, that is, he doesn't want to see Pang Tong, but today, Kuai Yue has to see him. At the banquet, can he still make an excuse to not go? Although Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have conflicts, they are brothers after all, and Pang Tong believes that Kuai Yue will not fail to participate.

In addition to Kuai Yue, there must be other gentry members at this banquet, which is a good opportunity to make friends.

"Prepare the gifts for me!" Pang Tong went to Kuai Liang's wedding banquet, so he naturally would not leave empty-handed. He wanted to give a big red envelope, which would at least move the Kuai family. Kuai Yue would be embarrassed to refuse him at that time.

"Value from honor?" Pang Tong's subordinates didn't understand. If it were just a gift, there were still many preparations on their mansion. They were all prepared by Pang Tong to visit some gentry. But what is the value of honor? What is the value of honor?

"Yes, a great gift!" Pang Tong nodded.

"Military advisor, do you think this is good?" Pang Tong's men brought two east beads. These two east beads can be regarded as worth hundreds of gold. Not only because they look good, but also they were revealed from the former eastern capital Luoyang. When Dong Zhuo ordered people to destroy Luoyang and moved westward, Zhang Xiu and his uncle participated in the feast of robbery. Luoyang was destroyed, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside were naturally stolen. Among them, the two east beads in front of him fell into Zhang Ji's hands.

If Zhang Ji dies, it is Zhang Xiu's. If Zhang Xiu dies, it is naturally his lord Liu Bei's.

"Not enough, not enough!" Pang Tong shook his head. Although there were more than a hundred golds, it was not worth mentioning in front of the huge Kuai family.

"Then what about this pair of Yu Ruyi!"

"It's still not possible!" This pair of Yu Ruyi is not as good as those two Eastern Pearls.

"This is an anonymous book of the Analects of Confucius?!" Another subordinate took out a yellow book. Don't underestimate him, but he is an ancient book with the words of sages.

"No!" The Analects of Confucius is also very precious. I am afraid that the same second book cannot be found in the whole world. However, this kind of ancient book is for those great scholars of the old masters, not the Kuai family.

"What do you mean by military advisor?" These subordinates could no longer think of any great gifts.

"By the way, did the lord send a piece of gold and silver?" a subordinate suddenly thought of something and said.

"That can't be moved. It was the lord who asked me to come to Jingzhou to buy food and grass!" Another subordinate hurriedly stopped him. The money was the money that Liu Bei got from Zhang Xiu, and the other one was from Yuzhou that Liu Bei emptied. There were five thousand golds, and the money was used to buy food and grass.

"No! Just use that batch of gold and silver!" Pang Tong was also reminded. It was not that he did not have any heavy gifts, but that he had him but did not find out.

"But what should I do if I use that batch of gold and silver!" someone questioned.

"Even if there is this batch of gold and silver, we can't buy food and grass!" Pang Tong had blocked his own way, which made Liu Biao's failure to sell food and grass to Yangzhou, which could be considered a loss-making loss. This batch of money is useless, or it was transported back.

Moreover, Pang Tong has mobilized the Pang family's forces to help. He is consuming the Pang family's background.

But now I can take out this batch of gold and silver to make friends with the Kuai family and the gentry. Why not do it? This Jingzhou is not so much Jingzhou as Liu Biao's Jingzhou.

"That's it! Someone comes to load the gold and silver for me! Leave a thousand gold, and everything else is loaded!" Pang Tong gritted his teeth. If this money can be made friends with the Kuai family, it will definitely be worth it. Pang Tong left a thousand gold to brush other small aristocrats! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
