After a detailed talk with Liu Qi, Liu Biao began to arrange military and political affairs in Nanjun the next day.

In response to the positions of the chief clans of Kuai and Cai, Cai Mao was appointed as the commander of the Nanjun, Kuai Liang was appointed as the other leader, and Kuai Yue was appointed as the commander of Xiangyang.

With the positions of the Nanjun Duwei and the Xiangyang Order, the private troops led by the Cai and Kuai families became legitimate county soldiers, and the two families were respectively in charge.

Compared with the income of the three, Cai Mao became the highest military commander of Nanjun and had the right to command and dispatch soldiers and generals of the counties under Nanjun.

But there is a variable in this.

That is Liu Qi, who was appointed as the Xiangyang Camp Captain by Liu Biao, who was responsible for the city defense and herd protection of the entire Xiangyang City.

A discerning person can naturally see that although Cai Mao had the right to dispatch military affairs in the entire Nanjun, the troops in the Xiangyang Prefecture were still led by the Liu family and directly under the jurisdiction of Liu Qi. Moreover, since Xiangyang was Liu Biao's capital, his military affairs were also independent of Nanjun.

This is the backup plan that Liu Biao left for himself, and it is also his signal to give to the prominent families of Jingchu - my Liu family is also in charge of the army in Jingzhou.

Logically speaking, this lieutenant in charge of Xiangyang's military affairs should be close to Liu Biao, but in name, it is under the jurisdiction of Cai Mao, and it is very difficult to be stuck in the middle. People on both sides can bully him.

And if it is not good, it is easy to be directly attracted by Shangguan Cai Mao.

In terms of strength, Liu Biao handed over this position to a nephew of his nephew. This man was close to Liu Biao and had military capabilities. Liu Biao was originally relieved, but in the end, due to many reasons, he was pulled over by Cai Mao and became his party, which made Liu Biao's military voice significantly in Nanjun, which made the originally balanced scale a major tilt, causing the Liu family to be very passive in Nanjun.

This nephew who cheated Liu Biao was named Zhang Yun.

But now the person sitting in this position is Liu Qi.

Now Liu Qi has a stronger influence in the hearts of the Jingzhou clan and scholars in some aspects than Liu Biao who just came to Xiangyang.

The banquet was held to eliminate the 55 thieves from Nanjun, and the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were killed, and they made a promise to the people under the city of Xiangyang...

This eldest son is now famous and shocking in the hearts of the people of Xiangyang.

It is unlikely that Cai Mao either wants to win over or subdue him.

A few days later, Liu Biao adopted Liu Qi's suggestion and began to actively reuse the Cai and Kuai clans. However, the ones he valued were respected by the elders of the two clans, while the younger ones temporarily put it aside on the grounds that "young people may not be able to withstand the tempering."

The Cai and Kuai families couldn't say anything about Liu Biao's employment of people like this. After all, they used people from both tribes, whether they were old or young, they were all their own tribe members.

Moreover, the elderly are generally respected people in the clan. If Cai Mao and Kuai Liang force them down, they will be annoyed by these elders of the clan, and it will not be worth the loss to these two clan leaders.

Of course, among the recommended people of Cai and Kuai, there are also some who are indeed real talents, including Han Song from Nanyang, Liu Xian from Lingling, Deng Xi from Nanyang, etc.

In addition to resting and paying attention to established policies such as farming, Liu Biao also put forward a proposal, which is not easy for anyone to question.

That is, the official schools are developed in various counties under Nanjun and Jiangxia County.

Even many famous scholars in Jingchu did not know that Liu Biao would be impatient to establish an official school as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou. Even if he was promoting an official school, should he delay it appropriately? But what if the situation stabilized?

Only Liu Qi knew that this was Liu Biao's dream and he couldn't wait.

Since his youth, he has dared to participate in the Tai Students' discussions, evaluating figures in the court, participating in the political struggles of the upper class, and proclaiming with the famous scholars of the Qingliu, competing for the eight heroes, eight guards, eight and so on... In the bones of such people, they must have a persistent pursuit of academics and a tough spirit as an angry young man.

Liu Biao's ideals were noble in Liu Qi's view. He wanted to build Jingzhou into an ideal town for the Confucianism and Theory. Even if the north is in chaos, the waters and soil of Jingzhou will be enough to allow all the innocent and famous scholars, literati and poets in the world to stay in peace and study.

Liu Biao may have these ideas, but he is not persistent... The only thing he is persistent in is the development of learning!

Regardless of whether this idea is suitable for the current situation, Liu Qi feels that he has an obligation to support his father.

After all, at his age, there are fewer or fewer opportunities to realize his dream.

Jingzhou is his last dream come true in his life.

Let my father realize his dream in Jingzhou with peace of mind. I will do other things!

In less than ten days, Liu Biao decided on Jingzhou's future general strategy and the leaders at all levels, which was very decisive.

The next step is to recruit a team of your own confidants.

Liu Biao began to discuss with Liu Qi that he wanted to summon talents from his hometown Shanyang County to Jingzhou.

After all, most scholars who rely solely on Jingzhou belong to local prominent families. It is true that the Liu family father and son need to rely on them, but if they want to take the initiative completely, they must appropriately and gradually introduce external forces.

Where should this external force come from?

The Han Dynasty was not an era of developed communications. It was impossible to know friends everywhere from all over the world. For people of this era, the most trustworthy ones were people from the same clan or local fellow villagers.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, the word "members" will make people feel extremely friendly.

"My son, for my father, I have booked a letter to Shanyang County, gathered talents from the clan to Xiangyang to protect Jingzhou together. As for those who are available outside the clan, I have figured out a few of them, but I feel that they are not enough."

Liu Qi asked, "I wonder who my father has summoned to Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao said slowly: "There are ten people from outside the clan who think of their fathers at present, but only two of them are very useful. One is Yiji, a handsome man from the Yi family in the same county. This man is eloquent, graceful and elegant, and has seen the world with courtesy. For his father, he wants this man to come to Xiangyang and to enter Shu to meet Liu Yan, and to promote the alliance."

Liu Qi nodded suddenly when he heard this.

Yi Ji, who is famous for his grace and eloquence, turned out to be his fellow countryman. It seems that he and his father are still intimate, and Liu Biao seems to be quite appreciating him.

But thinking about it, Yi Ji, in history, once jointly formulated the "Shu Ke" with Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Liu Ba and Li Yan. The figures who can participate in the formulation of a national law must be a practical faction who is familiar with the current situation, familiar with people's livelihood, political and legal, and good at controlling the people.

It is said that this person is good at eloquence and asked him to go to Sichuan to talk about Liu Yan, which is indeed a good candidate.

It seems that Liu Biao has really put his heart into consideration.

"Who is the other position?" Liu Qi asked.

Liu Bao smiled: "You are also familiar with the other person, and that is your cousin Zhang Yun."

Liu Qi's face sank instantly.

Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew and Liu Qi's cousin.

This guy has quite a military talent, but he is too bad.

According to Liu Qi's analysis, Liu Biao in history originally hoped that Zhang Yun could take charge of his clan army to increase his bargaining chips, but Zhang Yun, a fence-bearer, actually took his uncle's reward and stood on Cai Mao's side.

This directly led to the miscarriage of Liu Biao's plan to balance the military forces in Jingzhou, living in Nanjun and unable to achieve his full potential, and even having to appoint second-level agents such as Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei to check and balance the local gentry of Jingzhou.

There is no such a foolish nephew in the world!

However, although there is no record of the final outcome of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in history, Liu Qi believes that they did not end well. After all, Cao Pi once made a comment on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun: "Everyone is cooked and destroyed, and the test will be killed for a hundred generations."

They also tied them with Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, Shen Pei, Guo Tu and others. In response to the tragic outcome of the other four people and Cao Pi's attitude towards them, the outcome of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun should not be much better.

Now that Liu Biao wants to summon Zhang Yun, Liu Qi naturally doesn't want to.

But Liu Qi cannot directly say that Zhang Yun is a slander. After all, Zhang Yun has not done anything unbearable now. Insulting his cousins ​​without substantial evidence can easily lead to misunderstandings about him and think that Liu Qi has no mind and demeanor.

Since that's the case, let's settle for the second best and directly control the fate of this cousin.

"It's great for my father to come to Jingzhou to find my cousin. If the clan alliance is complete, the child will lead his troops north for his father. At that time, there will be some capable people around him... My cousin is quite talented, so let him stay with me. My brothers will have some care on weekdays."

After hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Biao thought he wanted to ask Zhang Yun for help, and was very happy.

In fact, Liu Qi wanted to put Zhang Yun under his nose to watch.

"This matter is easy. After the virtuous nephew arrives in Xiangyang, he will return to your command and help you with your help."

"Thank you, my father."

After Liu Biao finished speaking of the people he wanted to recruit, he said, "My son, I have investigated the children of the royal family for my father, and also thought about the old acquaintances of Shanyang County, so he also figured out ten available people. However, there are too few, and I wonder what kind of talent you can recommend to me as my father?"

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this.
