I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 266 Breaking His Name as a Model in the World First
Lu Zhi obeyed Liu Jian's opinion, did not reply to Yuan Shao's letter, and left Yuan Shao there.

However, Lu Zhi did not reply, which seemed to be not beyond Yuan Shao's expectation.

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 force, and at the same time united with the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and tried his best to use the resources of the entire Jingzhou famous family.

The slow growth of Liu Jian's troops in Hebei is not because Liu Jian has no ability to recruit more soldiers, but because all his troops are recruited by himself, and all of them follow his orders and belong to his direct descendants. , let no one interfere.

But Yuan Shao chose the crash method.

Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses grew rapidly, but not all of these soldiers and horses were directly under him. Most of these soldiers and horses belonged to prominent families in Jingzhou and Henan. Although Yuan Shao was the highest commander of the Jingzhou Army, Jingzhou The figures of the local prominent families also have very high authority in the army. They command their own troops and act independently.

In particular, the prominent 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, and the Deng family, have given Yuan Shao a lot of support. Everyone is rushing towards the name of the Yuan family in Runan, and what Yuan Shao gives back to them is greater power than in the original place.

Historically, the person who came to Jingzhou to serve as the governor was Liu Biao from Shanyang County. Although Liu Biao was also a celebrity in the party, but in terms of family background, prestige, and leadership among scholars, he was far behind the Yuan family in Runan. Not 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 with Yuan Shao in terms of bonding with local prominent families and Haoyou.

Therefore, in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao was able to form a political force representing a prominent family, stronger than Liu Biao in history.

Of course, behind this seemingly powerful force, there are also hidden dangers, that is, the members of the famous family under him, whether in the military or in politics, have really high and scary authority.

At least the authority of the prominent families in Jizhou must be incomparable to that of Yuan Shao.

……

In Wancheng, in the meeting hall of the Shepherd's Office, Yuan Shao is playing chess with a master.

This person is an outstanding person who came to Yuan Shao's tent from Yingchuan, Guo Tu of the Guo family in Yingchuan.

The Guo family in Yingchuan and the Yuan family in Runan have always been good friends. Both belong to the Ruying family. During the three generations, there have been countless exchanges of interests with each other.

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 clans in Jingzhou.

But Yuan Shao also knew the consequences of doing so. The disadvantage was that the clans in Jingzhou became too powerful for a while under his command, which was 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 is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, after Nanyang County, Nanjun County, and Jiangxia County gradually settled down, Yuan Shao turned his attention to his hometown, which was also the base of his Runan Yuan Clan——the land of Ruying!
This time, Guo Tu, a heroic 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 dropped the sunspot in his hand, and then looked at Guo Tu with a smile: "Gongze, the situation has become clear, this game is for you to lose."

Guo Tu held the white piece in his hand, looked at it for a long time, sighed helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty's move is very clever, I lost!"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, threw the chess piece on the chessboard, and said, "Old man Lu Zhi doesn't listen to my words, and doesn't take part in the matter of begging for the director. Disobedient pawn!"

Guo Tu sighed: "Lu Zigan's reputation in the country, if he participates in the discussion of Dong, the leaders of the ancient scriptures in the Northeast of the Kansas should be able to join together. Now he does not participate, and loses the power of the ancient scriptures, which is a pity gone."

Yuan Shao said disdainfully: "It's not a pity, this matter has been expected for a long time, that old thing and Liu Deran complement each other in Hebei, and colluded with each other... The letter that Yuan wrote to him has disappeared, needless to say, it must be that Liu Jian taught him !"

Guo Tudao: "Then Liu Deran first abolished King Chenliu and His Majesty and left them in Yecheng, and then vigorously supported the princes and kings from all walks of life to open their mansions. Afterwards, they set up farms in Daxing, Jizhou, and recruited common people to form chambers of commerce. Consolidating Liu's imperial power is not a small ambition."

Yuan Shao stood up slowly, and said: "Yuan is aware of the things about him in Jizhou, but this is a good thing for Yuan."

Guo Tu hurriedly said, "Why did you say that?"

"Whether it's Tuntian or the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who did Liu Jian do and who was injured?"

Guo Tu thought about it carefully, and said: "The well-dressed family is a famous family in the world!"

"That's right! As a family member, Liu Deran, in order to consolidate the Liu family's imperial power, all he did was to erode 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 on in Jizhou The harder the door of the rich family is pressed, the deeper the fear of the southern clan will be on him, and after a while, the elites of the famous clan will gather under Yuan's command!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and said with a smile, "Your Majesty thinks, is what Yuan said reasonable?"

Guo Tu thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "What the envoy said is right!"

"Lu Ziqian wants to follow Liu's path to darkness, so let him go and die with Liu Jian. Yuan Mou took advantage of this opportunity to challenge Dong, and raised righteousness and gathered righteous people from all over the world! He got famous families from all over the world to come and join him. , when the great success is achieved and the general trend is achieved, Yuan will be the co-lord of the world's heroes, forgive him for being a mere Liu Jian, Yuan can't cure him?"

Guo Tu praised with a flattering face: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, has a good plan, and can think what others can't think of. I respect him very much!"

Yuan Shao laughed out loud, appearing to be complacent.

"I heard that Dong Zhuo's old thief appointed Han Fu, Kong Ni, Zhang Miao, Wang Fen and other famous people, and sent them to the local area as prefects and governors, in an attempt to win the hearts of the scholars. A Liangzhou barbarian also wants to make friends with the Guandong scholars. , is simply wishful thinking!"

"As everyone knows, the high-ranking celebrities he sent to the local area are all jealous of him! Sending them to the local area to govern is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger! Later, Yuan will use him to appoint him. Those of you, go and deal with old Dong Zhuo severely! Yuan wants to let him know what it means to be besieged on all sides!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao laughed loudly.

Guo Tu's flattery continued: "The envoy is wise, and the mere Liangzhou tiger and wolf, how can he be the envoy's opponent?"

Yuan Shao suddenly thought of something: "Gongze, I'm going to make a comprehensive plan to attack Dong Zhuo now. The talents from Ruying's family still need to trouble you to explain it for me!"

Guo Tu understood what Yuan Shao meant.

The famous families in Jingzhou, such as Cai, Kuai, Huang, Deng and other families, were all reused by Yuan Shao. Now they can be said to be very powerful in Jingzhou, and the forces of each family are also spread throughout the Jingzhou army.

Therefore, Yuan Shao continued to attract a group of families from the Ruying family to help him check and balance the local clans in Jingzhou.

Today, Nanyang County, the No. 1 county in the Han Dynasty, is now under Yuan Shao's control.

Yuan Shao's next step is definitely to seek Runan County!

This is the second most populous county in the Han Dynasty, with a population of more than 200 million.

Nanyang County and Runan County, these two counties have the most prominent families and the most gentry who are willing to support the Yuan family. At the same time, they also have the largest population in the Han Dynasty, with a total of more than 450 million.

In places like Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou, the population of each state is just over 400 million, Qingzhou even has a population of less than 400 million, and the population of the two counties of Nanyang and Runan has surpassed that of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, Guo Tu also knew that Bao Xin, Cao Cao and others, Yuan Shao's hardcore brothers, had left Luoyang for the Central Plains, gathering their own troops and preparing 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 increase greatly, so that he will have the capital to challenge Dong Zhuo in terms of overall strength.

Although the quality of Yuan Benchu's soldiers and horses is not as good as that of the Xiliang Army, but when it comes to Yuan Shao's current layout in the south, Yuan Shao can stand on a high place and tell them by pointing his nose at the people of the world:
"Starting today, half of the southern half of the Han Dynasty will be named Yuan!"

Every time he thought of this, Guo Tu couldn't help feeling excited.

He felt that he had met the most worthy hero in the world!
……

……

"Yuan Shao wants to win the hearts of the world by asking for Dong, but it is impossible. This is the Liu family's world, and the surname is not Yuan."

In the hall of Nangong County, Liu Jianyi said to Lu Zhi sternly.

But Lu Zhi did not support Liu Jian's self-confidence. He had lived for decades, and he was very clear about the power of the Yuan family.

"De Ran, to tell you the truth, although Dong Zhuo is supporting the emperor now, the nobles in various states and the well-dressed people all regard Dong Zhuo as a thorn in their side, and wish they could eat his flesh raw. Yuan Shao's stepping up at this time can be regarded as a response. The hearts of the world's famous families, it is impossible to say that he does not gather people's hearts..."

"And I don't worry about anything else, just worry about..."

Liu Jian said, "What is the teacher worried about?"

"Being a teacher is just worrying. Even among the various clans in Jizhou, there are some people who have a heart for the Yuan family."

What Lu Zhi said is correct. In terms of interests, Yuan Shao represents a famous family in the world, thousands of wealthy families.

The reason why the Yuan family is powerful in this era is because they are the leaders of the famous families, and the current interests of the Yuan family are consistent with the interests of thousands of local famous families in the Han Dynasty.

At present, although Liu Jian, who represents the interests of the royal family, is orthodox in name, in terms of actual interests, his power is directly opposite to the interests of the world's prominent families.

The conflict of interests between the local prominent families and the imperial power has existed since the founding of the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu. "This sentence can fool the past.

In the final analysis, everyone is living to absorb resources for themselves, which is human nature.

However, Liu Jian didn't want to take the path of Cao Wei's founding of the country in history, and compromised with the noble families by sacrificing sovereignty.

Therefore, as time goes by, more and more prominent families in various places will tend to Yuan Shao, which is inevitable.

"So, to destroy the Yuan family from the inside, at least pull him down from the moral high ground of the world's model!"

Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Liu Jian to say such a thing.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhi couldn't help laughing, very happy, very happy.

"What is the teacher laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you, thinking about things too naively. The reputation of being a model in the world is different from other titles. It can't be advertised by a few scholars just by flaunting each other,"

"Li Yuanli, a role model in the world, is not afraid to defend Chen Zhongju... To have this title, the family must have made great efforts, flaunting the connections of all parties all the year round, wasting a lot of energy, money and resources, to be able to hold such a number one person Come!"

"The Yuan family almost used the resources of the whole family in order to allow Yuan Shao to lead the party members. It was you who said you would pull him down, so you pulled him down. Now Yuan Benchu's reputation as a model in the world is now in the hearts of scholars. It’s deeply rooted, what should you do?”

Liu Jian had a trick with Lu Zhi: "The time has come, the students have their own way, and the teacher can rest assured."
