In the State Shepherd's Mansion, there is a post at ten steps and a post at five steps, and the atmosphere is extremely chilling.

When Chen Yuan arrived, Liu Bei was already sitting in the lobby with a solemn expression.

Obviously something important must happen today.

Chen Yuan came to his first position on the left.

On the left is the civil servant, on the right is the military general, and Guan Yu is the first military general. This is beyond doubt.

The others sat opposite each other.

Liu Bei glanced around, and when he saw that everyone who was supposed to come had come, he coughed lightly.

"Everyone, the reason why I called you here today is because I have something important to discuss with you, and I hope you will spare no effort to prepare a good suggestion."

As soon as Liu Bei said it so formally, everyone felt Gordon in their hearts.

What happened, it seems very serious.

Liu Bei didn't whet everyone's appetite, and said it directly.

"What do you think about the Cai family in Jingzhou?"

Hey, what do you mean by that?
Could it be that the lord wants to deal with the Cai family?
Thinking of the Cai family's attitude towards the State Shepherd's Mansion all the time, the smart people have already felt a little taste.

It seems that the lord is dealing with the Cai family.

What they thought was right, but they never imagined how deep Liu Bei's dealings were, uprooting him.

Suppressing the domestic tyrants is one of the tasks of the state shepherd itself. There is no surprise for the big guys, so they naturally support it.

Therefore, some people began to speak: "The Cai family has violated laws and regulations throughout Jingzhou. From what my subordinates have seen, I should teach the Cai family a certain lesson."

This is what people from the Jingzhou faction said. They think they can be suppressed, but they cannot be killed. As long as the Cai family admits to being cowardly, they can be let go.

"My lord, the Cai family has no state capital, oppresses the people, hoards and hoards, which is the root of my disaster in Jingzhou. I suggest moving his family and dividing his clan. Among them, those who violate the law will be severely punished according to the law, so as to serve as an example to others."

This is not the Jingzhou faction. For them, killing the Cai family is naturally the best thing, but I don't know what Liu Bei is thinking, so let's try it out first.

After everyone discussed for a while, Liu Bei raised his hand to stop the discussion in his family.

"It seems that the Cai family is indeed not a good family. If this is the case, if I want to eradicate the Cai family, can you teach me?"

As soon as this statement came out, except for Chen Yuan and the few people who knew it, everyone else was shocked.

Get rid of Cai, this is a big deal.

Cai's strength and prestige, these people present are very clear.

Even many people used to rely on Cai's family to survive.

It was suddenly necessary to deal with Mrs. Cai, and everyone naturally needed to react for a while.

Regarding the matter of the Cai family, in the entire prefectural pastoral mansion, Chen Yuan, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Jushou and Gu Yong were the only people who knew about it in advance.

Everyone else is completely unaware.

Previously everyone just speculated on Liu Bei's meaning, but now there is no need to speculate, this must be to kill the Cai family.

This made some people look a little ugly.

Suppress the Cai family, everyone will take some benefits from the Cai family, it doesn't matter.

But killing the Cai family completely made many people feel uncomfortable.

For example, the Kuai brothers, such as Guo Yong, the prefect of Nanjun.

For this discussion, Liu Bei summoned all the prefects of the seven counties of Jingzhou.

Because the influence of the Cai family spreads all over Jingzhou, the prefects from all over the country need to work together to completely eradicate the influence of the Cai family from Jingzhou.

In order to find out the distribution of the Cai family's power in Jingzhou, Jinfengwei has spent a lot of effort in the past few months, and of course spent a lot of money.

Fortunately, so much energy was not wasted, and all the power distribution of the Cai family in Jingzhou is now under the control of Liu Bei.

The two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang took a look, and finally Kuai Yue spoke.

"My lord, the Cai family belongs to our Jingzhou family, and is related to Yizhou Liu Shijun and Huishu Gong (Zhang Wen). Will our doing so cause any bad influence?"

Guo Yong nodded aside and said: "Cai's strength is all over Jingzhou, and the roots are intertwined. One hair can move the whole body, so don't move lightly."

It seems that the two are thinking about the state capital, but they are actually secretly opposing it.

As far as they are concerned, suppressing the Cai family is okay, no problem, and they even wish Liu Bei could do it.

But if it is completely eradicated, it will shake their bottom line.

Liu Bei glanced at the two of them, and thought in his heart, Zichu really has sharp eyes, and he can see clearly.

A few days ago, when Liu Bei and Chen Yuan were discussing this issue, Chen Yuan said that the Jingzhou family and officials might object.

The reason? It's simple.

Since Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, he did not forcefully suppress the tyrants in the territory, and he was more gentle.

For example, the Kuai brothers, the Ma family in Yicheng, the Liu family in Changsha, etc. were appointed.

Even for people like the Cai family who obviously don't give face to the state government, Liu Bei did not suppress them, but turned a blind eye.

This inevitably made the tyrants in Jingzhou feel that Liu Bei was easy to talk and dared not offend them.

Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of the Cai family and establish a prestige.

Is there any better way to establish prestige than getting rid of the Cai family?

No more.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Kuai Yue and Guo Yongdao: "The Cai family must be destroyed. All the consequences will be borne by Honshu Mu. Do you have any comments?"

It seems to be asking, but in fact, a decision has been made.

Kuai Yue and Guo Yong seemed to want to say something more.

Chen Yuan said something lightly, and directly bet back what the two of them wanted to say.

"Two, is it possible that you want to stop the lord, or do you have any friendship with that Cai?"

What Chen Yuan said was blood on the bayonet.

If the Kuai brothers and Guo Yong try to stop them, the end will definitely not be good.

Don't look at Liu Bei's lenient appearance in the past, but at critical moments, he is a decisive master of killing.

If the Kuai brothers and Guo Yong are still not familiar, Liu Bei doesn't mind killing them together.

Seeing the chill in Chen Yuan's eyes, Kuai Yue and Guo Yong wisely stopped talking.

Of course they didn't want to see the Cai family get eradicated, but it would be a joke if they said they would die for the Cai family.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Liu Bei raised his voice and said, "Since no one has any opinions, then it's settled."

"Yun Chang, Yi De, Feng Xian, Han Sheng, Gong Yi."

"The end is here."

"The four of you each lead a thousand soldiers and horses, and Gong Yi leads the water army to transport you across the river and surround Caizhou. Don't let any one escape."

"The last general takes orders."

Guan Yu and other five people went out to receive Liu Bei's arrow.

"Zilong led [-] troops to Jiangling to assist Prefect Guo in eradicating all the farms, restaurants, grain stores, etc. of the Cai family in the territory. Jinfengwei will cooperate to provide specific information. Don't let one go."

Although Guo Yong was not willing to take Zhao Yun's orders, the current situation is very obvious. If he disagrees, he will probably have his sacrificial flag chopped off.

Therefore, Guo Yong can only take orders.

And Liu Bei is not afraid that Guo Yong will not cooperate. With Zhao Yun, a wise and courageous person, I am not afraid that you will not be willing.

Next, Huang Gai assisted Lu Kang in Jiangxia, Wei Yan assisted Qin Zhe in Nanyang, and Liu Bei from the four Jingnan counties arranged for Tai Shici, Wenpin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others.

The power of the Cai family in the four counties in Jingnan is relatively weak, and Tai Shici is enough to lead these three people.

After the personnel from various places were arranged, Liu Bei said to Gu Yong: "Yuan Tan, you arrange manpower to take over Cai's farms, grain stores, restaurants, and real estate in various counties. Be sure to register and don't miss it."

Gu Yong accepted the order and said yes.

This should have been what a big butler like him should do.

Finally, Liu Bei said to the others: "Gentlemen, prepare to go to the academy to preside over the opening ceremony, and then we will go to Caizhou to watch the bravery of the soldiers."

Chen Yuan and the others bowed and said, "I would like to obey the command of the lord."

Finally, Liu Bei said: "Misters, this action is related to the safety and survival of Jingzhou, and I hope you will be more careful."

Everyone bowed and said, "I would like to obey the order of the lord."

Then, they all left the state capital and led their troops to march.

The State Shepherd's Mansion is under martial law today, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without Liu Bei's order.

Liu Bei brought Chen Yuan, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Tian Feng, Jushou and others directly to Xiangyang Academy.

Today is the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy.

At this time, there are many cars and horses in front of the gate of the academy, and there are many pedestrians.

Those who come and go are by no means unknown.

This is not only due to the reputation of Cai Yong, Pang De, Sima Hui, and Xiang Lang, but also due to the debates held in the past few days.

Because the classic debate meeting just ended yesterday, the scribes who participated in the classic debate meeting took part in the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy.

It's not that these people just want to join the academy, it's mainly just by the way, and it doesn't take much effort.

Why not take part.

Many people have heard that Xiangyang Academy has an extremely rich collection of books, and there is no restriction on copying and viewing, and even borrowing is allowed.

This is very attractive to many poor or poor scholars.

Many people have already decided to study in the academy.

It's just that they don't know how the academy is doing. If it's too expensive, they can't afford it.

But I also heard that the academy does not seem to be closed, and you can study for free.

I don't know if this news is true or not, so the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy today was very lively.

Fortunately, Liu Bei arranged for Zhang Yun to lead five hundred soldiers to maintain order, but there was no chaos.

Liu Bei had already told Cai Yong that he would attend today's ceremony.

Therefore, the academy had already sent someone to wait for Liu Bei at the door.

This person is Xiang Lang.

Cai Yong, Mr. Pang De, and Sima Hui have high reputations and seniority, so it is not appropriate to greet Liu Bei at the door.

This will give Liu Bei a reputation for neglecting talents and elders.

Xiang Lang is the most suitable person.

As the supervisor of the academy, Xiang Lang has sufficient status, and he will not let outsiders feel that the academy is neglecting Liu Bei.

Of course, this is for outsiders to see. In fact, this Xiangyang Academy is the Taixue of Jingzhou.

It's just that Liu Bei is not yet the emperor, so he can't be called that.

Xiang Lang saw Liu Bei leading a group of people coming, and hurried forward to greet him: "Lang has seen the lord and your colleagues, and he has not greeted you from afar. Please forgive me."

Liu Bei supported Xiang Lang: "Sir, you are too worried. Today is a good day for the academy, and the affairs are busy. Why bother to pick up Bei, sir. Bei can go there on his own."

Xiang Lang said solemnly: "Lang is the supervisor of the academy, and he is also a subordinate of the lord. How could he not come to welcome the lord?"

Liu Bei smiled, and without further words, he entered the academy under the leadership of Xiang Lang.
