Chapter 266 First destroy his reputation as a model in the world
Lu Zhi followed Liu Jian's advice and did not reply to Yuan Shao's letter, leaving Yuan Shao in the dark.
However, Lu Zhi did not reply, which did not seem to be beyond Yuan Shao's expectations.
He didn't expect Lu Zhi to give him a reply from the beginning.
Since arriving in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao has been recruiting a large number of troops to expand his troops. At the same time, he has united the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and Yuzhou to use his maximum strength to maximize the resources of the entire Jingzhou noble family.
Liu Jian's troops in Hebei did not grow rapidly, not because Liu Jian was unable to recruit more soldiers, but because all his troops were recruited by himself, and they all obeyed his orders and belonged to his direct lineage.
, don’t let anyone interfere.
Yuan Shao, on the other hand, chose the quick fix method.
Yuan Shao's troops grew rapidly, but not all of them were directly under his command. Most of these troops belonged to prominent families in Jingzhou and Henan. Although Yuan Shao was the highest commander of the Jingzhou army, but Jingzhou's
Figures from local prominent families also have very high authority in the military. They command their own troops and work on their own affairs.
In particular, the famous families in Jingzhou, such as the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Ma family, the Huang family, the Pang family, the Pang family, the Xu family, the Yin family, the Deng family, etc., gave Yuan Shao great support, whether in terms of talents, population, money, food, or other factors.
Families all flocked to the name of the Yuan family in Runan, and what Yuan Shao gave them in return was greater power than what they originally had in the local area.
Historically, the person who came to Jingzhou to serve as governor was Liu Biao from Shanyang County. Although Liu Biao was also a famous official in the party, in terms of family background, prestige and leadership among scholars, he was far different from the Yuan family in Runan.
Not even half a star.
Therefore, when Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou, the support he received was relatively limited. Although Liu Biao himself was extremely talented, he was completely incomparable to Yuan Shao in terms of his ability to bind local prominent families and powerful rightists.
Therefore, Yuan Shao was able to form a political force representing a prominent family in Jingzhou, which was stronger than Liu Biao in history.
Of course, behind this seemingly powerful power, there are also hidden dangers, that is, the people under his command who belong to prominent families, whether in the military or in politics, have extremely high authority.
At least the prominent families in Jizhou definitely have incomparable authority with Yuan Shao.
…
In Wancheng, in the meeting hall of the Animal Husbandry Department, Yuan Shao was playing chess with a noble scholar.
This person is Guo Tu, a prominent figure from Yingchuan who came to Yuan Shao's tent.
The Guo family of Yingchuan and the Yuan family of Runan have always been on good terms. Both parties belong to the Ruying family, and they have exchanged countless interests with each other for three generations.
Yuan Shao is not a fool, on the contrary, he is a very shrewd person.
He now occupies Jingzhou, and in order to make his power take off in a short period of time, he has cooperated a lot with the local wealthy families in Jingzhou.
But Yuan Shao also knew the consequences of doing so. The disadvantage was that the clans in Jingzhou suddenly became too powerful under his control, making them difficult to control and prone to change.
As a qualified leader, he can tolerate this kind of thing in a short period of time, but if it takes a long time, it will definitely not be acceptable.
Therefore, after Nanyang County, Nan County, and Jiangxia County gradually consolidated and stabilized, Yuan Shao turned his attention to his hometown, which is also the base of his Runan Yuan family - the land of Ruying!
Now, Guo Tu, an outstanding member of the Guo family in Yingchuan County, came to Wancheng under Yuan Shao's conquest and became Yuan Shao's right-hand man.
…
Yuan Shao slowly put down the black piece in his hand, then looked at Guo Tu with a smile: "Gongze, the situation has become clear. You lost this game."
Guo Tu held the white piece in his hand and looked at it for a long time. He sighed and said helplessly: "This move is very wonderful. I lost!"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said: "Old Lu Zhi doesn't listen to me and doesn't participate in the fight against Dong. He is determined to be tied to the same boat as Liu Jian! What a trick.
Disobedient chess piece!"
Guo Tu sighed: "Lu Ziqian is famous in the world. If he participates in the fight against Dong, the leaders of the Guwenjing gentry in the northern part of Guanzhou will be able to rally to respond. Now that he does not participate and has lost the power of the Guwenjing gentry, it is a pity.
Already."
Yuan Shao said disdainfully: "It's not a pity. I had predicted this a long time ago. The old guy and Liu Deran complemented each other and colluded with each other in Hebei... The letter Yuan wrote to him was lost in the sea. Needless to say, it must have been Liu Jian who taught him
!”
Guo Tudao: "Liu Deran first deposed King Chenliu and His Majesty and left them in Yecheng. He also vigorously supported various princes and kings to open their own houses. Later, he established farming in Jizhou and recruited common people to form chambers of commerce. Everything was established in the city.
The ambition to consolidate the Liu family’s imperial power is no small one.”
Yuan Shao stood up slowly and said: "Yuan knows what happened in Jizhou, but this is a good thing for Yuan."
Guo Tu hurriedly said: "Why did you say this?"
"Whether it was farming or the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who was injured by what Liu Jian did?"
Guo Tu thought carefully and said: "With great clothes and a great house, he is a famous family in the world!"
"That's right! As a clan member, Liu Deran, in order to consolidate the Liu family's imperial power, did everything to encroach on the interests of the famous family. Although he could benefit for a while, it pushed the famous family to Yuan's side. He put his clothes and clothes in Jizhou
The harder the pressure on the wealthy family is, the more fear the southern nobles will have of him. Over time, distinguished families and outstanding people will gather under Yuan's command!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and said with a smile: "Do you think what Yuan said is reasonable?"
Guo Tu thought carefully for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "What you said is exactly what you said!"
"Lu Ziqian wants to follow Liu Jian's path to death, so let him tie up with Liu Jian and die. Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to challenge Dong to act righteously and gather righteous men from all over the world! Noble families from all over the world came to join him.
, when the great success is achieved and the general situation is achieved, Yuan will be the co-leader of the world's heroes. Forgive him for being just Liu Jian, but Yuan can't cure him?"
Guo Tu praised him with a flattering look on his face: "You are far-sighted and have good plans. You can think of things that others cannot think of. I respect you very much!"
Yuan Shao laughed heartily and seemed very satisfied.
"I heard that Dong Zhuo, the old thief, appointed Han Fu, Kong Miao, Zhang Miao, Wang Fen and other famous people, and sent them to the local areas as prefects and governors in an attempt to win over the people. A Liangzhou barbarian also wanted to make friends with the people from Guandong.
, simply wishful thinking!”
"As everyone knows, these high-ranking celebrities he sent to the local area are very jealous of him! Sending them to the local government is like adding wings to a tiger for Yuan! When he turns around, Yuan will use him to appoint him.
People, go deal with Dong Zhuo! Yuan wants him to know what it means to be surrounded on all sides!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao laughed loudly.
Guo Tu's flattery continued: "Your Majesty is wise, even if you are a tiger or wolf in Liangzhou, how can you be your rival?"
Yuan Shao suddenly remembered something: "Gongze, I am now planning a comprehensive plan to defeat Dong Zhuo. All the talented people in Ruying, please go and explain it to me!"
Guo Tu understood what Yuan Shao meant.
The famous local families in Jingzhou, such as the Cai, Kuai, Huang, Deng and other families, were all highly used by Yuan Shao. Now they are extremely powerful in Jingzhou, and the influence of various families is also spread throughout the Jingzhou army.
Therefore, Yuan Shao continued to attract a group of Ru Ying families to his subordinates in the Yuan family's base to help him check and balance the various local clans in Jingzhou.
Today, Nanyang County, the most populous county in the Han Dynasty, is now under Yuan Shao's control.
Yuan Shao's next step is definitely to plan to capture Runan County!
This was the second most populous county in the Han Dynasty, with a population of more than two million.
Nanyang County and Runan County have the largest number of noble families and the most noble families willing to support the Yuan family. They also have the largest population in the Han Dynasty, with a combined total of more than 4.5 million.
In places like Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou, the population of each state is just over four million. Qingzhou does not even have a population of four million. The population of Nanyang and Runan counties has exceeded that of one state in the Han Dynasty.
.
In addition, Guo Tu also knew that Yuan Shao's die-hard brothers Bao Xin, Cao Cao and others had left Luoyang for the Central Plains, each gathering their own troops to prepare to develop their forces and respond to Yuan Shao.
With these younger brothers as pawns, Yuan Shao's strategic space in the north will inevitably be greatly increased, so that he will have the ability to challenge Dong Zhuo in terms of overall strength.
Even though the quality of Yuan Benchu's soldiers and horses is not as good as that of the Xiliang army, when it comes to Yuan Shao's current layout in the south, Yuan Shao can stand on a high place, point his nose at the people of the world and tell them:
"From today on, half of the country in the south of the Han Dynasty has the surname Yuan!"
Every time he thought of this, Guo Tu couldn't help but feel excited.
He felt that he had met the most worthy hero in the world!
…
…
"Yuan Shao wants to win over the people of the world by attacking Dong. That is impossible. This is the world of the Liu family, not Yuan."
In the hall of Nangong County, Liu Jianyi spoke sternly to Lu Zhi.
But Lu Zhi did not support Liu Jian's self-confidence. He had lived for decades, and he knew the power of the Yuan family very well.
"Deran, to be honest, although Dong Zhuo now supports the emperor, the powerful families and wealthy men in various states regard Dong Zhuo as a thorn in their flesh and wish they could eat his flesh raw. Yuan Shao stepped forward at this time, which can be regarded as a response.
He has the heart of a noble family in the world, and it is impossible to say that he does not win over people's hearts..."
"And I don't worry about anything else, I just worry about..."
Liu Jian said: "What are you worried about, teacher?"
"Being a teacher means worrying. Even among the tribes in Jizhou, there are some people who are devoted to the Yuan family."
What Lu Zhi said is correct. In terms of interests, Yuan Shao represents the world's leading families and thousands of wealthy families.
The reason why the Yuan family is so powerful in this era is because they are the leaders of a prominent family, and the current interests of the Yuan family are consistent with the interests of thousands of local prominent families in the Han Dynasty.
At present, Liu Jian, who represents the interests of the royal family, is orthodox in name, but in terms of actual interests, his power is exactly opposite to the interests of the world's leading families.
The conflict of interests between local prominent families and the imperial power has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. This cannot be covered up by "Han Dynasty orthodoxy", nor can it be covered up by "I am the imperial power, you must listen to me"
"This sentence can fool the past.
In the final analysis, everyone's life is just to obtain resources for themselves. This is human nature.
However, Liu Jian did not want to follow the historical path of Cao Wei's founding of the country, sacrificing sovereignty and compromising with the noble families.
Therefore, as time goes on, more and more prominent families in various places will lean toward Yuan Shao. This is inevitable.
"So, if we want to destroy the Yuan family from within, we must at least pull him down from the moral high ground of being a model for the world!"
Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect Liu Jian to say such words.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhi couldn't help but laugh, smiling very happily and cheerfully.
"Teacher, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing, I think things are too naive. The reputation of this model in the world is different from other titles. It can't be achieved by just a few scholars talking about each other."
"Li Yuanli, a model in the world, who is not afraid of force and challenge Chen Zhongju... To be able to be called this title, the family must have done a lot of hard work. They have always flaunted their connections with all parties, and spent a lot of energy, money and resources to be able to hold such a number one figure.
Come!"
"In order to allow Yuan Shao to lead the party, the Yuan family used almost all the resources of the entire family. Even if you, the boy, asked him to pull him down, he pulled him down. Now Yuan Benchu's reputation as a model in the world has now been in the hearts of the scholars.
It’s deeply rooted, what should you do?”
Liu Jian sold it to Lu Zhi: "When the time comes, the students will have their own methods, so the teachers can rest assured."
