Liu Jian sat in the tent, looking at a map hanging behind him, stroking his chin and thinking carefully.
The Sanbian Zhonglang will be conferred the title of Sanbian Mu envoy, which means that the decentralization of power by the central government has been broken through. Although Liu Hong is still using a strict attitude and actions to try to control the impact of this matter.
to the lowest, but there is no doubt that once Pandora's box is opened, it is often not easy to close it again.
Moreover, Liu Jian and Lu Qiang secretly wrote letters recently and got a piece of information.
Emperor Liu Hong's health was getting worse and worse, and he fell ill every three days. Although it was not serious, his body was very weak. Compared with his peers, the emperor's physical fitness was really inferior.
Although Lu Qiang did not say it directly, Liu Jian could somewhat sense the meaning behind his words.
Lu Qiang was worried that the emperor would never be safe.
In fact, if this situation continues, even if Liu Jian doesn't know the course of history, he can still see that Liu Hong's life span will indeed not be too long.
Once Liu Hong died, Liu Hong's children were still too young, and the Han Dynasty was about to enter a vicious cycle of a weak king and a strong minister.
Now that the pastoral care system has been launched, at this time, it is time to choose a habitat for yourself and concentrate on developing and growing.
He is not Liu Yan, so it is impossible for him to choose those remote states and counties in the southwest. Although he can live in a safe place, the centuries-old heritage of the Han Dynasty is not there. The center of economic focus and superior development are still north of the Yangtze River. Although
These places have many branches and are highly competitive...
This is the so-called endless life and endless stamina.
Three thousand families support the Yuan family, and each family only needs to squeeze out ten slaves to form an army.
Liu Jian smiled and waved to Huang Zhong, saying: "Han Sheng, come here!"
Each family produces five good horses, which is a team of more than 10,000 horses.
"It doesn't have to be like this between you and me!"
Even though Liu Jian now has a good reputation and possesses both civil and military skills, it is still difficult for him to cheer up in the face of the huge foundation accumulated by the Yuan family over several generations.
If Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang did not attack each other and cause internal strife, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to eliminate Yuan Shao's lineage.
"Why is this so? How can I decide your future for you?"
In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao only defeated Yuan Shao militarily, but it was not a victory.
But no matter where he is, there is a huge obstacle for Liu Jian to establish in Hebei, and this obstacle is so huge that it is almost suffocating.
The power of people named Yuan does not lie in their ability to fight, nor in their ability to train troops, but in the huge influence they have once they are devolved to local states and counties.
Provide them with continuous support.
This is a key point for Liu Jian.
Each tribe's small annual output of a hundred shi of grain was enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for a year.
"Hansheng, are you willing to take the position of Qianshi County Magistrate?" Liu Jian asked Huang Zhongdao with a smile.
My roots are in Youzhou, but there are three mutual legal constraints on the court. Looking at the many pastors in the late Han Dynasty in history, none of the pastors violated this rule. It can be seen that no matter who holds the emperor in power, they will not break this law. Perhaps this is also the case.
In this huge competition, everyone is trying to balance each other's power.
Therefore, even if the base for starting one's business is not in Youzhou, it must be closer to Youzhou.
But Youzhou is the foundation of Liu Jian's family after all, and it is also an important place that he is currently working hard to lay out. Even if he fails to become the shepherd of Youzhou in the end, he still has to control Youzhou within his sphere of influence.
If you just want to separate one side and be the local overlord in a corner, then you are absolutely right to imitate Liu Yan and Liu Biao. But if you still have in mind the revitalization of the nation, break it and then build it, and don't want to delay it for half a century and cause China's population to be overly depleted due to this war.
, and if you want to re-establish a great dynasty, you must choose to base it north of the Yangtze River.
When he was young, he saw Huang Zhong coming to Liu Jian's handsome tent.
Cao Cao's real victory came when Yuan Shao died and Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang turned against each other.
Imagine that when Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu's mother died, there were thirty thousand people who came to mourn the Yuan family, and these thirty thousand people must be high-ranking figures from all over the Han Dynasty. Behind each of them is a large family.
If we calculate the probability that five people out of 30,000 people are from the same clan, then there are at least 6,000 clans.
Huang Zhong raised his hands and said seriously: "If the general asks Huang to do it, Huang will do it. If the general is not willing to let Huang do it, then Huang will resign from the chancellery."
After saying that, Huang Zhong stood up and wanted to salute Liu Jian. Liu Jian hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him.
After Yuan Shao died, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang turned against each other, and the civil strife continued, it took Cao Cao seven years to pacify Hebei Shang.
It would be extremely uncomfortable to be next to Yuan Shao in the local area.
While Liu Jian was deep in thought, he suddenly heard someone outside the tent reporting that Huang Zhong had arrived outside the tent.
Moreover, as a person from the northern border county, I had no geographical foundation when I arrived there, so I was bound to rely on the local clans on a large scale - for example, in history, Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou and had no foundation, so he could only rely on the Cai, Kuai and other clans to fight with them.
The military power and human rights were divided, and it was difficult to extend the power in Jingzhou. Over time, because of the need to satisfy the interests of the local gentry, it was unable to expand and could only become a member of the separatist party.
If Yuan Shao did not die after the Battle of Guandu and lived for another ten or eight years, Sun Liu in the south would be angry.
Dong Zhuo?
That is Yuan Shao.
And among these 6,000 families, those who are willing to support the Yuan family in the future, even if calculated based on a 50% probability, will be at least 3,000 families.
"What does the general mean?"
Of course, this is just a probability algorithm. If it comes to reality, there will be many factors affecting these situations, and some things will not go so smoothly.
How to break the situation of having Yuan Shao as a neighbor?
"General, I have given my best support to Huang, and I have been kind and friendly. Huang has long recognized the general as his master, and has tied his future honor and disgrace to the general. Therefore, if the general asks Huang to do something, Huang will do it, and he will never refuse!"
"General, did you call me?"
Later, Liu Jian asked Huang Zhong to sit down again and said: "Hansheng, I will tell you the truth. In fact, this Qianshi County Magistrate was just a job, but it took three years of his term. It is quite unpleasant for you."
value."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "It's not that Huang deliberately curry favor with the general, but based on the facts, although Huang was born in Nanyang County, he is not from a sect. If he wants to be promoted with military merit, he is not from the Sixth County. He is nearly forty and can only work in
I spent my days in the Elephant Forest Camp in vain, but fortunately I was promoted to a general, so I had the opportunity to join the battle against the ant thieves!"
"I would like to recommend you to serve in General Dong's army."
But if you really want to break up and reunify within twenty or ten years, then it is not appropriate to choose the southwest states and counties, because the backgrounds are too different.
At this balance point, whoever takes the lead first will become the target of public criticism.
After the Yellow Turban War, Sun Jian was moved to the county magistrate. Later Liu Jian introduced him to Yuan Shu, and then Sun Jian resigned and left. Huang Zhong, who had the same meritorious service as Sun Jian, was also moved to the county magistrate of Zhongmu by the court, but he had not yet passed the Shangshu. The order was issued from the stage.
When Huang Zhong heard this, he was quite surprised.
"Why did the king let his junior officials serve under General Dong?"
Liu Jian explained patiently: "Since the Yellow Turban Incident, starting from today, I am afraid that wars will continue in various states. General Dong will not have any merits in this campaign against the Yellow Turbans. The Yuan family in Luoyang is not satisfied with the results. I think they will definitely By dispatching General Dong to a larger battlefield, if you follow General Dong in the expedition, you will have more opportunities to make achievements and your future will be even better."
When I'm at work, I can only find time to write. After I finish writing one chapter, I'll change it to another, and I won't post it all together.
