Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 558 Li Ru: I have a plan to easily take Jingzhou

Zhang Sui followed Huang Zu and others out of the general's mansion and returned to the Huang family residence.

The sky had already darkened.

Zhang Sui, Li Ru, Chen Dao and Zhao Tong all lived in a separate courtyard in the residence of Huang Zu's son.

Zhao Tong huddled in the shadow of the entrance, quietly looking at the night.

Zhang Sui took off his shirt and practiced in the courtyard.

It is winter now, but Zhang Sui has already gotten used to it.

However, Li Ru and Chen Dao, who were standing on one side, shrank back a little when they saw Zhang Sui practicing harder.

It was not until Zhang Sui finished his extra practice, dried his sweat, rinsed his body with cold water, and wrapped himself in clothes that Li Ru said to Zhang Sui: "My lord, just now at the banquet, I carefully observed the reactions of these people."

"It can be clearly felt that the relationship between Jingzhou Mu and the five great clans is not good."

"I heard what Huang Zu said on the way here."

"I feel that it's easier to make friends with the five great clans than with the governor of Jingzhou."

"Just like how the lord treated Xuzhou."

"After taking down the Chen family in Xia Pi, Xuzhou is basically under control."

"And if we take down the five great families in Jingzhou, Jingzhou will also be in our hands."

"Although the governor of Jingzhou is old, I have seen that he is very patient in his performance at the banquet."

"I'm afraid that this Jingzhou governor will rely on his status as a relative of the Han Dynasty and will not easily surrender to us Hebei."

"Even though we are an alliance now."

"Now that he hasn't attacked us like Cao Cao did, the most likely reason is that he is afraid of the power of the five great clans."

"But if the five great families are suppressed by him, then it may be the time when Jingzhou and Hebei will part ways."

Zhang Sui wiped the water droplets from his hair with a handkerchief and said, "I have the same idea."

"Tell me first what you think we should do."

Li Ru and Chen Dao followed Zhang Sui.

Li Ru said: "My idea is actually very simple."

"The five great clans are intertwined. If we take down one, we can take down the others."

"Now that Huang Zu intends to give his niece to the lord, we may as well take her."

"Through the Huang family, we have established good relations with the other five powerful families."

"We can't stay in Xiangyang for long."

"Before leaving, the lord explained his identity to Huang Zu and promised Huang Zu a position."

"By then, Huang Zu will help us establish good relationships with the other four great clans."

"We're just taking a two-year break."

"Two years is a long time, but it is also a short time. It is enough for Huang Zu to unite with the other four great families and temporarily confront the governor of Jingzhou."

"It will be in time for us to come back and take Jingzhou in two years."

Zhang Sui nodded.

Li Ru continued, "Also, the governor of Jingzhou has two sons, and we saw them today."

"The eldest son is gentle and refined, but he has a weak temperament."

"The second son is young, ignorant, and arrogant."

"Under normal circumstances, the future successor of Jingzhou Mu must be the eldest son."

Zhang Sui still nodded.

Li Ru's eyes flashed with sarcasm as he said, "Mrs. Cai, the second wife of the governor of Jingzhou, is very young and has never had sex with the governor of Jingzhou."

"The Cai family must be panicking too."

"Without sex, there will be no offspring, and the governor of Jingzhou may abandon Madam Cai at any time." "And it is even more impossible for us to let the governor of Jingzhou and Madam Cai have sex."

"In that case, my lord, we can find the second son of the governor of Jingzhou privately."

"Lure it with profit."

"My Lord, in fact, this time you came here not only to look for Miss Huang, but also to contact him."

"My lord, under the order of Lord Yuan, the governor of Jizhou, wants to support him as the governor of Jingzhou."

"It is now certain that Lord Yuan died in battle, but the news has not yet reached the south."

"If this matter is exposed one day, we can put the blame on Lord Yuan, and it has nothing to do with you, the new governor of Jizhou."

"The second son of the governor of Jingzhou is young and arrogant, just like dry wood and fire, which can be ignited at any time."

"But he had no idea."

"My Lord, you can give him some sweet treats to induce him to worship Madam Cai as his mother."

"In order to take over the position of Jingzhou Mu, he could even poison the Jingzhou Mu."

"When I followed Dong Zhuo, he gave me a lot of poisons in order to poison the young emperor. I remember one of them was colorless and odorless, and ordinary people could not detect it."

"If you take it, you won't die instantly, but will die slowly, like a withered flower."

Li Ru paused, organized his words in his mind, and then continued: "As long as the second son of the governor of Jingzhou regards Madam Cai as his mother, the Cai family will definitely know about this behavior."

"Once the Cai family finds out, they will definitely try their best to conceal this matter and facilitate it."

"From the performance of the five great clans at today's banquet, it can be seen that none of them actually want to continue to be the governor of Jingzhou."

"However, the governor of Jingzhou must be a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he is resisting stubbornly. The five great families dare not take the responsibility of killing the governor of Jingzhou."

"Just like Gongsun Zan's killing of Liu Yu, it ultimately brought disaster."

"If the Cai family can support the second son of the Jingzhou governor to ascend the throne as soon as possible, then the Cai family will definitely do their best."

"But if the Cai family does this, the other four great families will definitely not agree."

"How could one company dominate a situation where all the teams were advancing together?"

"My Lord, tell Huang Zu that you particularly like Miss Huang, and therefore, you intend to break the rules of our Han Dynasty court and let him be the governor of Jingzhou in the future."

"Find another opportunity to reveal the news that Cai Mao had coerced the Jingzhou governor's second son into poisoning the Jingzhou governor."

"By then, the governor of Jingzhou will be killed."

"The Cai family and the Huang family will definitely fight."

Zhang Sui nodded again and said, "Continue."

Li Ru gently patted his bulging belly with his right hand and said with a smile: "During this period of time, I was in Xia Pi and specifically investigated the relationship between Jingzhou and Cao Cao."

"The head of the Cai family, Cai Mao, was a classmate and childhood playmate of Cao Cao."

"And Jingzhou is just south of Cao Cao."

"My Lord, tell me, if someone says that Cai Mao is colluding with Cao Cao and wants to lead Cao Cao to control Jingzhou."

"Huang Zu has been promised by the Lord that he can become the governor of Jingzhou. What will he do?"

"He will definitely unite with the other three powerful families and try to crush the Cai family before the conflict breaks out."

"We can use this time to get a feel for the other three great families, the Xi family, the Pang family, and the Kuai family, and try to build good relationships with one or two of them."

"Deliberately distance yourself from one or both of them."

"By then, the five great clans will stir up a huge wave in Jingzhou."

"We just need to grasp the timing, and when they are fighting fiercely and Cao Cao has not yet made a move, the army will suddenly attack."

"It will be effortless to take Jingzhou."

"The biggest problem facing us now is that we need to find a smart person in Jingzhou who is not loyal to the Huang family, nor to the governor of Jingzhou, and has no good feelings towards the Cai family. Let him mingle among the three parties and monitor their actions, and prevent Cao Cao from sending people here in the future."
