    Everyone suddenly felt at ease and almost forgot about Cai Yong.

    As the father-in-law of Liu Zhe, the father of Princess Yan, the grandfather of Prince Wang, and a great scholar of the time, Cai Yong's status in Youzhou is very transcendent, and everyone has to give him three points of face.  Even Chen Qun is the same.

    Chen Qun can quarrel with heaven, earth, and air, and he will quarrel with anyone who disrespects Liu Zhe, but for Cai Yong, he gives enough respect. Of course, this is also related to Cai Yong's status as a great scholar. As a great scholar, Cai Yong will not  Doing something disrespectful.

    "The envoy Liu Jiyu sent to Xiangyang was to invite Liu Bei to Shu." Liu Zhe said calmly.

    As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present understood.

    Liu Zhang finally sent someone to invite Liu Bei to Shu, and Liu Zhang's purpose of inviting Liu Bei to Shu must be to deal with Liu Zhe. Whether it was to defend Hanzhong's troops or to regain Hanzhong, it was all to deal with Liu Zhe.

    But who is Liu Bei?

    Judging from Liu Bei's experience, Liu Bei can be said to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.  Liu Zhang may have invited Liu Bei to Shu because he wanted to use Liu Bei to deal with Liu Zhe. He wanted to make Liu Zhe and Liu Bei compete with each other so that he could reap the benefits.

    But will Liu Bei listen to Liu Zhang¡¯s words obediently?  Of course not.  When Liu Bei entered Shu, the first thing he had to do was to deal with Liu Zhang so that he could annex Yizhou.  Compared to Liu Zhe, Liu Zhang is easier to deal with.

    Therefore, once Liu Bei shows his fangs against Liu Zhang, Yizhou will definitely be in chaos, and the chaos in Yizhou will allow Liu Zhe to take advantage of the opportunity.

    "King Yan, will Liu Zhang disagree with Liu Bei's entry into Shu?" Cai Yong said, with a worried look on his face.

    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the attack on Liu Zhang's envoy must have something to do with Liu Bei. Even if it has nothing to do with Liu Bei and it was someone else who did it, Liu Bei must be the one to take the blame.

    Therefore, if Liu Zhang falls out with Liu Bei and prevents Liu Bei from entering Shu, it will be of no benefit to Liu Zhe.

    Although Yizhou under Liu Zhang's rule was not very good, the people's lives were relatively stable.  If Liu Zhe invades, he will encounter constant resistance from the people and officials of Yizhou. It will take a lot of time and effort to pacify Yizhou.

    "Won't."

    Liu Zhe smiled confidently and answered Cai Yong's question affirmatively.

    "real?"

    Cai Yong was surprised, and so were others. After such a thing happened, Liu Zhang still let Liu Bei enter Shu?  is it possible?

    "certainly."

    Liu Zhe smiled and said: "Someone will help me."

    Others didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Liu Zhe¡¯s words, but Guo Jia and Jia Xu were thoughtful. Maybe Liu Zhe was talking about leaving Yizhou and Zhang Song.

    If Zhang Song had been there to persuade Liu Zhang, given Liu Zhang's character, he might have allowed Liu Bei to continue to enter Shu. As long as Liu Bei entered Shu, great things would happen for Liu Zhe.

    "King Yan, if Liu Bei enters Shu, we must be prepared. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the turmoil in Yizhou and send troops to capture Yizhou." Xu Shu said.

    Although Yizhou is a small territory and the road to Yizhou is difficult, no one says that Yizhou is useless. As one of the thirteen states in the world, under the governance of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and their sons, Yizhou's population and wealth have greatly improved.  They are all ranked among the top in the world.

    If Liu Bei is allowed to capture Yizhou, as long as he calms down a little, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.

    Liu Zhe nodded, but he said: "If there is a stalemate with Liu Bei in Yizhou, what do you think?"

    "A stalemate?" Everyone present was surprised and didn't understand why Liu Zhe said this.

    "Liu Bei and Liu Zhang fell out. If we take advantage of the opportunity, we can't capture Yizhou, but what if we capture Yizhou? What should we do next?"

    Liu Zhe asked his subordinates, and then said: "There has been no war in Yizhou for a long time. The families in Yizhou are very powerful. If I capture Yizhou, they will be a trouble for me."

    The power of the aristocratic noble families in this era is very great, but they are also the foundation of the dynasty's rule.

    ??It is not enough to simply indulge and rely on them. It will easily allow them to increase their power, and eventually rebellion will occur.

    But it is not realistic to eradicate them all. If they are eradicated, the rule over the people will be greatly reduced, which is not even conducive to the unification of the world.

    Liu Zhe started from scratch and did not rely on the power of aristocratic families. After he established a huge territory, he found that he had many aristocratic families under his command and they were very powerful.

    Some of them followed Liu Zhe voluntarily, some were forced to follow Liu Zhe, and some developed gradually.

    Liu Zhe discovered that their power had begun to influence his time.At this time, he acted decisively and cruelly.

    Those who obey me will live, those who go against me will perish.  This is Liu Zhe's treatment of the noble families.

    Those who obey him and listen to him will be spared from disaster. Those who disobey him will have only one fate: death.

    Starting from Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, Liu Zhe did not hesitate to take risks and used himself as bait to seduce those aristocratic nobles who were ready to rebel, and finally captured them all.

    There are much fewer aristocratic families in Yongzhou and Liangzhou. In Yongzhou, the aristocratic families were greatly damaged due to the war, while in Liangzhou, due to its remote location and harsh environment, the aristocratic families could not flourish.

    This is stability forged with blood.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
