The commotion at the dock naturally attracted Liu Fan's attention, and everyone's eyes focused on the past as they moved.

I saw a boat slowly docked at the wide dock ferry. There were many scholars on the deck at some point, and there were sturdy servants standing on both sides at guard posts.

The business people passing by were blocked by the Tao, which caused some people to murmur, but in this powerful world, even if the people were angry, they would not dare to vent their feelings at will.

No one knew the anger of the people, but the group of people who came down from the boat were obviously from a family of officials. Although the few were dressed simply, the innate temperament of the upper class of poetry, books and ethics that were nurtured by the innate upper class of poetry, books and ethics.

First, a middle-aged man was wearing Confucian uniform, with simple wrinkles but very clean washing, which shows that he was also a serious person. As he got off the boat, two young men followed behind him.

The older boy is handsome, handsome, and has a long figure. His appearance is just a phoenix. There is also a child around him, holding his clothes and not daring to say anything.

There were two girls wearing hats and gauze scarfs behind them, behind them, slowly landing with them.

Several people were waiting there on the shore. Seeing the middle-aged man get off the boat, the young man quickly stepped forward and bowed and greeted him: "Kuai Qi, Kuai family, come to welcome Zhuge Gong back to Xiangyang by the order of the head of the family!"

He nodded silently, the middle-aged man did not have too many expressions, and looked at the young man and asked lightly: "Did the foreigner ask you to come?"

His face was stunned. It was obvious that middle-aged man had accused of the young man's purpose. At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and replied: "When I say that, although my clan uncle is working with General Zhennan, he has always been concerned about Mr. Xu. Therefore, when he heard that Mr. Zhuge returned to Xiangyang, he immediately sent a letter to the clan and ordered him to come and greet him."

He smiled faintly, and Zhuge Xuan waved his hand casually, "Forget it, with Yi Du and Zi Rou, your Kuai family will have a place in Jingzhou. Go back. Returning from Yuzhang this time is also a kind of relief to me. I don't want to participate in the affairs of the state, and maybe I will retire to the mountains and forests like Pang Degong!"

"Sir!" Showing his experience, Kuai Qi quickly looked up at Zhuge Xuan.

The reason why Kuai Yue sent him to welcome Zhuge Xuan was to stop this famous scholar from the Zhuge clan of Langya in advance.

Liu Biao was very fond of famous scholars, and almost everyone in the world knew about it. Therefore, as a famous scholar in Langya, Zhuge Xuan would inevitably be referred to as a guest of honor by Liu Biao after returning from Yuzhang.

If the Kuai family wants to maintain a situation comparable to the Cai family in the future Jingzhou affairs, they must try their best to win over all those who may become Liu Biao's political counselor.

In terms of the army, after Liu Biao was appointed as General Zhennan, he had already promoted Cai Mao as his military advisor and had an innate advantage in the army. Then the Kuai family could only start with politics and govern the prefectures and counties. The Kuai family must have enough weight.

Even if Zhuge Xuan was unwilling to tell the Kuai family about Yu Zhang, they would never let them tell the Cai family. Therefore, the primary purpose of Kuai Qi's visit this time was to establish a good relationship with Zhuge family.

Judging from the current situation, Zhuge Xuan did not seem to want to participate in the Jingzhou clan struggle, but Kuai Qi was still worried. He looked up at Zhuge Xuan, and Kuai Qi wanted to say something else.

As soon as a breeze blew by the river, the girl wearing a straw hat was blown behind Zhuge Xuan, and the face was blown up. The girl's face instantly attracted Kuai Qi's attention, and her eyes were instantly shiny.

As if he noticed the commotion behind him, Zhuge Xuan turned his head to look. At this time, the older girl had put down the scarf and turned around. Zhuge Xuan looked at Kuai Qi and frowned slightly, "You go back and tell Yidu. When I return to Xiangyang, I will look for him. I am afraid it is inappropriate to block me at the dock!"

"Kuai Qi dared not!" He quickly bowed and heard the displeasure in Zhuge Xuan's tone, and Kuai Qi quickly accused him of the crime and gave way.

So, Zhuge Xuan walked towards Jiangling City under the escort of a group of servants.

In the distance, Liu Fan looked at everything that happened on the pier without rushing to get up. After Zhuge Xuan left, he asked the Yan family manager on the side: "Do you know which family the young man is just now?"

Nodded, the manager was very familiar with the situation in Jiangling City. "The Kuai family, who had just arrived in Jiangling a few days ago, heard that their name was Kuai Qi!"

"Children of the Kuai family?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Liu Fan thought, "The Kuai family is a large family in Jingzhou. They should be quite capable in all parts of the prefectures and counties. How could they be respectful to a middle-aged man and girl!"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Liu Fan suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice: "I'm afraid this person is Zhuge Xuan!"

The expression was slightly stunned, Yan Yan and Li Hu looked at each other on the side. They really didn't know how Liu Fan judged that the middle-aged man belonged to Zhuge Xuan. They didn't even bother to ask.

And when asked Liu Fan, he might not necessarily say it. Could it be that he told them that he felt that the boy was Zhuge Liang because he saw a boy who was more handsome than him, and then he guessed that the middle-aged man was Zhuge Xuan?

Of course it is impossible!

Liu Bochang had a brilliant idea and had predicted things like a god. He was known as the existence of Xiao Zhuge, so how could he lose his face like this?

"I won't discuss this matter for now, let's talk about it before entering the city!" At this moment, Liu Fan stopped pestering the matter, greeted him and led everyone to Jiangling City.

As the county seat of the Nanjun, Jiangling City is also the largest port city along the river in Jingzhou. The city has developed trade and many shops along the streets. There are vendors from south to south and shouting and selling, just like the largest city connecting the north and west.

Walking on the streets of Jiangling, Liu Fan had to sigh, no wonder that Liu Bei was reluctant to return it after borrowing Sun Quan, a Nanjun. He was so important in such a military and economic significance. Who would be a fool?

Later, the so-called loss of Guan Yu in Jingzhou was mainly due to the loss of Jiangling City. If such a core city was lost, it would mean that Jingzhou would be lost. At this time, it was still in the early days of the late Han Dynasty.

In the later period, the Central Plains were disturbed by Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and Cao Cao for a few more years, and then a large number of refugees flocked to Jingzhou and Jiangnan, and Jiangling City was probably more prosperous.

"I don't know if Liu Biao attaches importance to such a prosperous city?" As he walked, Liu Fan thought to himself, "I wonder who the prefect of Nanjun is?"

Liu Fan asked questions, and the Yan family manager also quickly responded, "Return to the prince, and now the prefect of Nanjun is the nephew of General Zhennan, Zhang Yun."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he heard the name Liu Fan, he immediately remembered Zhang Yun. It was Zhang Yun and Cai Mao who were in a slew of love and isolated Liu Qi and Liu Biao that led to Liu Zong succeeding to Jingzhou and Cao Cao went to Jingzhou without fighting.

Although Liu Fan knew that Zhang Yun had no ability, he felt much more relaxed when he thought of him in Liu Biao's camp. "So, all the military affairs of Jiangling City were under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yun?"

"It's not so." The manager of the Yan family shook his head, "Cai Zhong of the Cai family also held a military force. When Cai Mao was the prefect of Nanjun, he promoted Cai Zhong, and then Cai Mao was promoted to Xiangyang as a military advisor, but he left Cai Zhong in Jiangling."

With his right hand clamped under his left armpit, Liu Fan slowly stroked his jaw and thought with interest, "In this way, Liu Biao has actually begun to curb the development of the local clans in Jingzhou?"

Strictly speaking, Zhang Yun was actually Liu Biao's nephew, so Liu Biao could feel at ease to hand over Nanjun to him. As for how to get along with Cai Mao in the later period, it was also when Liu Biao was old and weak and had no energy. Now Zhang Yun probably still wants to show it in front of Liu's surface.

Since Liu Biao was able to enter Jingzhou alone, it means that he had his own ambition and courage. He relied on the Jingzhou clan to quell the rebellion and establish the position of the governor of Jingzhou.

Now by paying tribute to the Chang'an court, Liu Biao has been enthroned as the governor of Jingzhou and General Zhennan, which also gave him the determination to solve the problem of Jingzhou clan and become the person in charge of Jingxiang's true authority.

Therefore, Liu Biao should have weakened Cai Mao's military power and transferred him from the position of the prefect of Nanjun. He was nominally competent as a military advisor, but in fact he confiscated his power in Nanjun.

The reason is that the Cai family where Cai Mao is located has too much power in Jingbei, and Liu Biao Xuxian's wife was the Cai family. In order to make politics, the prefectures and counties are now stable, so he naturally wanted to hide all the birds and bows.

This is the tradition of the old Liu family.

The situation in Jiangling has no special significance to Liu Fan at the moment. What Liu Fan suddenly realized is that since Liu Biao is guarding against the Cai family, does it mean that he is also guarding against the Kuai family?

So have the four major families in Jingbei, Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang, all been curbed by Liu Biao to varying degrees?

Liu Fan himself did not feel that he was curbing the expansion of local clans in Yizhou. As an outsider, he looked at the political struggle in Jingzhou for a particularly exciting time.

"In this way, then this time Zhuge Xuan's return to Xiangyang may be the time when the four major families in Jingzhou are reshuffled."

A few years ago, the Cai family seized the opportunity and directly established a marriage relationship with Liu Biao and fully supported Liu Biao to pacify Jingzhou. Now, with Liu Biao officially becoming the lord of Jingzhou, the Cai family has also become the largest force in Jingzhou.

In fact, the clan forces of Jingxiang, Kuai, Huang and Pang, can only barely compete with the Cai family. After all, in the early days of Liu Biao's initiation, he relied too much on the Cai family, which led to Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He and other Cai family members who went to office and held military power.

Now it seems that the tail is too big to lose.

Although the Kuai, Huang and Pang families have the strength to compete with the Cai family, there is currently no intermediary between them, which can unite all three. Therefore, the current situation is still the only one in the Cai family.

Also in history, the Zhuge family led by Zhuge Xuan became a link to connect the three families.

Zhuge Liang's eldest sister married Kuai Qi, a young talent in the Kuai family. Zhuge Liang's second sister married Pang Shanmin, son of Pang Degong, and Zhuge Liang himself married Huang Chengyan's daughter Huang Yueying.

The Zhuge family successfully linked the three major families of Kuai, Huang and Pang families in Jingbei.

The commotion at the pier naturally attracted Liu Fan's attention. Following the movement, everyone's eyes focused on the past. At the wide pier ferry, a boat slowly landed. There were many scholars on the deck at some point, and there were sturdy servants standing on both sides of the pier.
