Guo Jia's worries were not unreasonable. Perhaps he had stayed in Yizhou, a place of comfort, for too long. The local gentry had quickly fallen into depravity, and the entire upper class was almost rotten from head to toe. Otherwise, even if Liu Yan continued

It is incompetent and impossible to torture Yizhou to this point.

Historically, these people first saw Liu Bei's strong trend and turned to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's death, these local snakes in Yizhou all had different intentions and wanted to be Cao Wei's leading party.

What is the use of such an incompetent wallflower? Not to mention holding back the country, these people also have a large part of the responsibility for the demise of the Shu Kingdom. Liu Chan's surrender is definitely the work of these people.

Although Liu Yan had many counselors under his command, most of them basically did not belong to local aristocratic families. Liu Bei's reuse of the Jingzhou faction headed by Zhuge Liang to suppress the aristocratic families in Yizhou was a helpless move. You can't abandon talented people and reuse them.

I am a local snake who is determined to be right with you!

"The hands of Jingzhou and the Yangzhou family will reach out soon. Is it too late?"

"Don't worry, my lord has already prepared. The assessment of these scholars has already been completed, and the official position arrangements have been decided. As long as these scholars arrive, everything will be a foregone conclusion."

Yuan Shu, who had already regarded Yizhou as a forbidden area, naturally would not let other voices in this place, so he made preparations early and packed up his soldiers as soon as he captured Yizhou.

Come here. Thousands of scholars are enough to control more than 80% of the power in Yizhou, and they will definitely allow Yuan Shu to make Yizhou impregnable.

…

Deep in the mountains of southern Yizhou, the leader of the Meng clan, Meng Hu, had received a letter from Guo Jia, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Come here, hurry up and notify the cave masters to come and discuss important matters!"

At the same time, Zhu Rong, the leader of the Zhurong tribe, also sent the same message.

The Zhurong tribe and the Meng tribe are both the two most powerful tribes in the Southern Barbarians. Unlike the Meng tribe, which has a strong military force, the Zhurong tribe, which has a long history, has a deeper heritage, but it has declined slightly over the years. Especially the contemporary leaders,

He is nearly fifty years old, has no children, and only has one daughter. According to this situation, in a few years, the Southern Barbarians will probably be the only one family in the Meng clan.

After receiving the news that the Meng clan had also summoned the cave masters of the Southern Barbarians, Zhu Rong thought about it, sighed, and withdrew the clansmen who had gone to deliver messages to the caves, and led the clansmen to the Meng clan.

A few days later, almost all the tribal leaders of the Meng clan and the Southern Barbarians gathered together. The people present were all rebellious and bad-tempered people. Naturally, they were noisy and noisy. Many tribal leaders who had friction with each other were quarreling.

Well, if there weren't too many people here to perform, I'm afraid I would have to perform a full martial arts show in front of everyone.

"Shut up, everyone!" Meng Hu shouted.

The people of the Southern Barbarians only believe in force, and Meng Hu's force is indeed convinced by everyone. Under this title, the number one master in Southern Manchuria, the Meng clan has prospered, and has overtaken him in just a dozen years.

The Zhurong tribe.

After hearing this, all the tribal leaders stopped recruiting, sat back in their seats and cursed softly.

Meng Huoquan pretended not to hear this. There was no way, barbarians were just like that, it would be good if they could keep these people talking in a low voice. If Meng Huo kept talking, these people would start fighting with him.

At this time, the old Zhu Rong stood up, coughed slightly and said: "Everyone, Meng Hu has called you here today for a major matter related to the survival of our Southern Barbarians. I hope all the leaders will calm down and listen to what Meng Hu has to say.

Say it again."

As soon as Zhu Rong said this, everyone below who was still cursing quietly fell silent.

Meng Hu's eyes twitched when he saw this. Again, he, the most powerful man in the Southern Barbarians, couldn't compare to Zhu Rong's reputation!

But at this time, he couldn't care about this. Zhurong was the belief of the barbarians, so no matter which tribe was in power, the Zhurong tribe would always stand firm, and Meng Hu had nothing to do about this matter.

"Yizhou has issued a challenge to us, inviting us to fight in ten days. What do you think?" Meng Hu said carelessly.

As soon as Meng Hu finished speaking, a thin figure stood up and said: "Every leader must not fall into the trap, this must be Yuan Shu's conspiracy!"

This man was pale, thin, and had a bookish aura all over his body. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a barbarian. He was one of the remnants of the aristocratic family who had escaped from Yizhou.

Meng Hu looked at this guy and said, "Who are you? Our Southern Barbarian tribal leaders are discussing matters, what qualifications do you have to speak?"

Now it was the Han who wanted to attack him. When Meng Hu saw this guy who was obviously a Han, his face was full of distrust.

"Although I am a Han, the Han thief Yuan Shu who occupied Yizhou wiped out the whole clan of a certain person and lived here alone. I have an sworn hatred with the Han people who occupied Yizhou. I hope that Chief Meng Hu will believe that a certain person is sincere!

"This guy said with integrity.

The tribal leader next to him had a slightly dissatisfied look on his face, but he still stood up and said, "Meng Hu, this guy is right. He has made many good plans for me before, so he is a trustworthy person."

.”

It turned out that this scholar was responsible for the plan of using the barbarians' strong individual combat capabilities and familiarity with the terrain to disperse and harass the Yizhou border. Looking at his proud and upright look, I don't know what he was proud of.

?Knowing that he could not defeat Yuan Shu, he encouraged the barbarians to bully the unarmed Han people.

Although what Guo Jia did was indeed unreasonable, it was not Yuan Shu but Liu Yan who destroyed the Yizhou family. Moreover, Guo Jia did not beat all the Yizhou families to death with a stick. He did not have some good reputations.

tidy.

For example, there are seven aristocratic families including the Wu family where Wu Yi belongs, the Zhang family where Zhang Song belongs, the Qin family where Qin Mi belongs.

And what is very interesting is that not only do these aristocratic families have wizards, but their family size is also superior among the more than thirty aristocratic families in Yizhou. When Huang Zhong attacked Chengdu, they closed the door to thank guests, and Liu Yan asked them to do it

They did whatever they wanted and cooperated very well, allowing them to survive this disaster safely. And when Guo Jia was preparing to clean them up secretly, these aristocratic families pushed out the geniuses they had trained in their families.

In front of these rare talents, Guo Jia immediately stopped and secretly beat these aristocratic families, asking them to hand over their land, official positions, etc., and then let them go lightly.

I have to say that Yizhou has a lot of talents, including Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Qin Mi, Liu Ba, Wang Lei, Dong He, etc. Together, these people would make even Yuan Shu greedy.

This strange phenomenon is also the reason why Yuan Shu is helpless towards the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families all started from sin and gradually rose up from the gentry by plundering the people's wealth and anointing. Pull out all the small and medium-sized aristocratic families under Yuan Shu's command and exterminate them, and not even ten of them will be killed.

There is an injustice to it. But if it reaches a certain scale, these aristocratic families will change from black to white, and start to become the best assistants to help Yuan Shu manage the people.

There is no way, except for some talents who occasionally appear from poor families, more than 70% of the top talents in the world come from aristocratic families. Just like the people recommended to Yuan Shu by these aristocratic families, each of them is a first-class or above talent. For these talents, Yuan Shu can only temporarily let go
