    The next day, Deng Ai sent news that Zhang Ling had been successfully occupied.

    Liu Cong is very happy, but now he feels that there is too little talent under his command.

    Not only are there a shortage of generals, but there is also a shortage of scribes. There is not a single official in the prefectural and pastoral offices such as those with long history, special duties, etc.!  Not to mention the prefect, county magistrate and the like.  At least at the county magistrate level, he didn't even consider it.

    Fortunately, with Ma Liang handling the government affairs in Xiangyang, Liu Congcai would not mess up the rules.

    Liu Cong appointed Ma Liang as the governor of Xiangyang. In addition to handling all government affairs in Xiangyang, Ma Liang was also responsible for the appointment of other officials. He also hoped that Ma Liang could recruit some talents.

    Ma Liang also knew about Liu Cong's current situation, so he immediately wrote several letters and sent them to some of his friends, hoping that they could defect to Liu Cong.

    If it were Liu Cong before, this would have been impossible, and Ma Liang himself would not have helped.  But things are different now. Liu Cong not only has the three counties of Jingzhou, but also Shangyong. According to the current situation, the four counties of Jingnan will be in his pocket sooner or later. In this way, the nine counties of Jingzhou will have seven counties.  The strength of the county can be compared with that of Liu Biao at that time.

    What¡¯s more important is that Liu Cong is not just a lord of stability like Liu Biao, but a real hero in troubled times.

    Liu Cong also made Deng Ai the captain of Zhangling and Huo Jun the captain of Nanjun. The posts of prefects of these two counties were temporarily vacant, and the government affairs in the counties were handled by them first.  If there are suitable people, you can appoint some officials besides the prefect yourself.

    Liu Cong planned from the beginning to separate civil and military officials. The prefect would only be responsible for government affairs, and the captain would only be responsible for military affairs.

    The reason why vassal separatism was formed in the late Han Dynasty was because military power and government affairs were not separated, and any prefect could become a vassal.  If government affairs and military affairs were separated, there would be food but no soldiers, and soldiers but no food, this situation would not be possible at all.

    "My lord, Kuai Zirou wants to see you!" Liu Cong was thinking about his next plan when Ma Liang reported.

    "Kuailiang?" Liu Cong thought for a while, "Let him come to the study to meet you!"

    "No!"

    After Kuai Liang left the Cai family, he was thinking of ways to find out the details of Liu Cong, but he found that the Xiangyang governor who was surrounded by soldiers turned out to be Ma Liang.

    After Cao Cao went south, Ma Liang lost his trace. Who would have thought that he would be transformed into Liu Cong's close minister and the governor of Xiangyang.

    But since it was Ma Liang, it was much easier to find out the details of Liu Cong. That night, Kuai Liang went to see Ma Liang.

    Ma Liang did not hide anything. He told in detail how Liu Congcong left Xiangyang, killed the tiger and leopard cavalry, borrowed troops from Yicheng, captured Shangyong, accumulated strength, and then captured Nanjun, Xiangyang and Zhangling, especially in Shangyang.  When Yong was in trouble, he used iron-blooded methods to completely eradicate the four major families headed by the Shen family.

    Even though Kuai Liang was a rare resource in Jingzhou, he was stunned when he heard this.

    He kept asking himself, is this still the same Second Young Master Liu Cong?  Wasn't it because he was so blind and unaware of such a troubled hero?  Or was this kid just pretending to be stupid before?

    If he had known this, how could he mistakenly agree with his younger brother Kuai Yue to join forces with Cai Mao to dedicate Jingzhou to Cao Cao?  Following such a hero can not only achieve success for oneself, but also allow the Kuai family to continue to prosper.

    It¡¯s too late to think about these things anymore. This is called making a wrong step, making a mistake every step of the way!  He is now in his twilight years, but the Kuai family cannot decline because of him. Kuai Yue has returned to Cao Cao, and he has no choice. So he must be cautious every step he takes in the future.

    After returning home, Kuai Liang didn't sleep a wink all night. After thinking about it, he decided to meet Liu Cong, the second young master whom he had always despised.

    "See Liu Zhoumu!" After Kuai Liang came in, he kept his status very low.

    "Mr. Zirou, please take a seat without any courtesy." The habits of later generations made Liu Cong very respectful to the elderly.

    "Master Xie Zhoumu!"

    "Sir, are you familiar with this study?" Liu Cong's current study was Liu Biao's.

    Kuai Liang nodded.

    "Back in this study, sir, I gave my father advice, and asked my father to put down the rebellion among the clan robbers, and to guard Jingzhou for the emperor. He made great contributions to the country and benefited the people!"

    "Kuailiang doesn't dare to take credit, this is his duty!"

    "It's just that my husband was in danger at the end of the year. When Cao Cao sent his troops south, he chose to surrender with all his troops and saved his own glory and wealth, but the Lord showed up to death. You often read the books of saints and received many teachings from saints. What do you think?  What kind of crime should this be?¡±

     "Sir, this is"

    "This is what Kuai Yue and Cai Mao did, right?" Liu Cong interrupted Kuai Liang, "Can Kuai Yue do what he did without your decision? Do you think Honshu Mu is still a three-year-old child?"

    "Sir, Kuai Liang is guilty!" After hearing Liu Cong's words, Kuai Liang quickly knelt down, his body trembling a little, because he had already felt a strong murderous aura in Liu Cong's body. His temperament was completely different from that of Liu Biao.  ah!

    Liu Cong looked at Kuai Liang who was kneeling on the ground and said nothing.

    "My lord, the Kuai family is willing to atone for their sins!" Kuai Liang said respectfully.

    "How do you atone for your sins?"

    "The Kuai family is willing to give up 30% of their property!"

    "Thirty percent, that's too little, I want 70%!" Liu Cong said word for word.

    "Ah? Seventy percent!" After hearing Liu Cong's words, Kuai Liang's head was buzzing, and he kept scolding Liu Cong for being greedy. He originally wanted to say 30%, but if it didn't work, he would give up 50%. This was his bottom line.  , but I didn¡¯t expect Liu Cong to ask for 70%!

    "grown ups¡­¡­"

    "Sir, there is no room for negotiation. Now that Kuai Yidu is serving as an important minister under Cao Cao, have you thought about what will happen if this crime of treason is confirmed? You are here today, which means you have saved the world.  Kuai family, otherwise it won¡¯t be long before there will be no Kuai family in Xiangyang City!¡±

    "You" Kuai Liang shivered all over, and a cold air rushed from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

    "I hope that in three days, you will hand over 70% of the Kuai family's property to the Prefecture Mufu. You are a famous wise man in Jingzhou. When dealing with wise men, you don't need to beat around the bush. I don't think you don't understand that when you come, you see off the guests.  !¡±

    When Kuai Liang walked out of Liu Cong's study room, he seemed to be several years older and trembling.

    The Shangyong Shen family is not a big family, and their family property is so rich. The Kuai family is not only a master in Jingzhou, but also a famous family in the Han Dynasty. Its wealth is so great that Liu Cong cannot imagine it, and it happens that Kuai Yue  He surrendered to Cao Cao, and he was also an important figure in allowing Jingzhou to surrender without a fight. How could Liu Cong let go of this opportunity?

    " After cleaning up the Kuai family, the Cai family will be much easier to handle. If you are smarter, then you can all rely on yourself. For the sake of your mother, you can let them go. If not, you will uproot them.

    As for other aristocratic families, they have not yet posed a threat to themselves.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
