I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 371
At this time, Yuan Shu stationed troops in Puyang, and called all the prefects and ministers of Yanzhou to meet him.

Originally, these people came here mainly to discuss how to help Yuan Shu and wipe out Zhang Niujiao's rebellious army in Heishan.

But no one expected that at this juncture, Sun Qi and Zhang Yi from Jizhou came to meet Yuan Shu on behalf of the local prominent families in Jizhou who were dissatisfied with Liu Jian's rule.

In the eyes of these big Jizhou clans, the Runan Yuan family of four generations and three princes has the same fundamental interests as them.

Indeed, Liu Jian's power in Jizhou is too concentrated.

Whether it is the military or the local pillar industrial economy, they are all firmly controlled by the Pastoral Office led by Liu Jian.

This is hardly acceptable to local aristocrats.

In contrast, Yuan Shao in Jingzhou adopted a political strategy of cooperating with major families in the local area.

Although Yuan Shao is the highest military officer in Jingzhou, he has adopted a private army system, that is to say, the general power is distributed to the major families, and the major families have the right to recruit their own troops, and then uniformly obey Yuan Shao's dispatch.

It was also because Yuan Shao adopted this family-based military system that the major families in the south were also very willing to use the strength of the whole family for Yuan Shao to use and dispatch.

This model is really enviable to some high-ranking households in Hebei.

You see, this is the mind that a local Mushou should have, and it is also the strategy that Liu Jian should emulate.

Look at how Liu Jian treats us again?
He is willing to lead the big families to make money, but the problem is, everyone has to look at his face for the money!
If he is unhappy, everyone will not make money.

All military power is concentrated in the hands of the government, but Ru Gong's is not decentralized at all!

Now, another hero of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu has arrived in the Central Plains.

Therefore, those Jizhou strong people who thought they were wronged before feel that they have finally found the dawn.

Yuan Shu's reputation among the Confucian scholars may be much worse than Liu Jian's, but his status in the hearts of the nobles is still far higher than Liu Jian's.

It's not because of how good Yuan Shu is, but because their interests are more consistent in some aspects.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Yuan Shu could be introduced to Jizhou and replace Liu Jian with him?

In fact, ever since Liu Jian entered Jizhou, he knew in his heart that such a day would come sooner or later.

This is not to say that he can change it with some political means or policies. Those who stick to the old interests will inevitably fight against him sooner or later, especially the officials of the two places after the implementation of the three mutual laws in Ji and You. It is conceivable that local interests are deeply entangled in places that cannot be selected.

I beat the old master to death with a fist in Hebei. It is not easy for these people to endure until today.

These people were lurking in Hebei and pretended to be stupid, and Liu Jian also pretended to be stupid.

These people don't stand out in Hebei, and Liu Jian doesn't hold a big stick.

Occasionally, a family or two would jump out and stab moths, but Liu Jian also pretended not to see them.

Because he knew that it was useless to suppress one or two companies in this way.

Hit one or two today, hide the rest, hit another one or two tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... over and over again, endlessly.

Either you don’t make a move, or if you want to make a move, you just hug the grass and beat the rabbits, killing them all in one go, no one is messing with you here.

……

"Then Liu Deran is so domineering, oppressing all clans, and blocking the way for scholars to survive, this is to break the roots of the great man, and to dig the grave of his ancestors in the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Yi and Sun Qi's envoys wept bitterly in front of Yuan Shu, and they kept talking about Liu Jian's fault. After talking for more than half an hour, the spitting stars continued to fly, which showed that Liu Jian had offended him. There are so many things in my heart.

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy. He frowned, stroked his beautiful beard, and listened carefully to the two envoys scolding Liu Jian, occasionally opening his mouth to agree.

The two envoys finally finished cursing, Yuan Shu slammed the table heavily, and said angrily: "I don't want Liu Deran to be famous, but to do such atrocious things in Hebei, it is really useless to be a celebrity and a minister of the emperor."

The envoy of the Sun family gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Deran is called the clan, but he is actually a traitor of the clan. The fourth and third princes of the Ming Dynasty came from the Zhong family. They are loyal and good ministers of the great man. You must not sit back and watch this beast do evil!"

Zhang Yi's envoy said: "Duke Ming, please petition on behalf of the people, crusade against Liu Jian, and restore peace to Hebei!"

"Yes, Minggong, if Minggong can go to Jizhou, will the people of Jizhou not eat pots of milk to meet the envoy?"

"Yes, Jizhou is rich and densely populated. This is a god-sent opportunity. If you get Jizhou, you can achieve hegemony!"

It is said that there is no intention, but the listener has the heart.

The phrase "hegemony can be achieved" reached Yuan Shu's ears at this moment, and it was like a curse that could not be dispelled no matter what.

Yes, in terms of the prosperity of the population, the abundance of industries, the abundance of food and grass, and the benefits of armor, is there any place that can compare with Jizhou?
The foundation of Jizhou was originally very solid, but after years of dredging and rectification by Liu Jian, it is even different from the past. How can Yuan Shu not be greedy?

But greedy eyes are greedy, Yuan Shu is somewhat rational.

He also knew that Liu Jian was powerful and should not be provoked easily.

If you want to take Jizhou, you must have full confidence.

"Hey, although I have the heart to save the people of Jizhou from suffering, it's just that Yuan is afraid of lack of strength after all."

"Although Liu Deran is a brutal person, I have to say that his strength is still amazing!"

The two envoys replied immediately after hearing Yuan Shu's words.

"Ming Road is willing to enter Hebei, and my father-in-law is willing to cooperate with Ming Kilometer."

Yuan Shu sighed: "It's just the land of Wei County, only you two...I'm afraid it will be difficult to make things happen."

Zhang Yi's envoy hurriedly said: "It has been five years since Liu Deran entered Jizhou. In these years, our patriarchs have endured humiliation, endured humiliation, and secretly contacted righteous men and famous family members who are dissatisfied with Liu thief in various counties, in order to kill him. This dog."

"To be honest with Duke Ming, among the strong clans that have secretly united with my father-in-law, there are seven clans in Wei County, five clans in Julu, five clans in Changshan, seven clans in Qinghe, three clans in Zhao State, and seven clans in Zhongshan. , There are two clans in Hejian, and six clans in Xin!"

Yuan Shu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

"Is this true?"

"It's about the life and death of our family, how dare we deceive Yuan Gong?"

Yuan Shu clenched his fists tightly, and said excitedly: "If there are really so many powerful families as internal support, once I raise troops to go north, these more than forty prominent families will rise up in various counties and states, cutting off Liu Jian's retreat. No matter how powerful Liu Deran is, Jizhou must be in my pocket."

"That's exactly the case. We and other clans all look forward to Yuan Gong being able to settle in Jizhou and save thousands of people from suffering!"

"Okay, I agree to this matter, but you need to show your sincerity and give me the roster of the more than forty clans! Is it possible?"

The matter Yuan Shu proposed was naturally beyond the reach of these two envoys.

So they bid farewell to Yuan Shu and returned to Hebei to report to their father-in-law.

However, although the specific details of the matter have not been finalized, it can be roughly seen that the matter is basically a certainty.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu summoned the prefects and prime ministers of the Central Plains to the meeting hall.

He told the matter to all the people in a righteous manner.

"Liu Deran's reckless misconduct in Jizhou has provoked anger and resentment from everyone, and everyone hates it. Today, Zhang and Sun's family represent thousands of people in Hebei, and come to ask Yuan to send troops to rescue the suffering in the north. In this time of crisis, it is necessary to share the worries of the big man!"

"Now I ask you all to help me and attack Jizhou with me. If it can be done, Yuan is willing to share the wealth and honor with you. When the time comes, you can stay with me in Hebei. Wouldn't it be better than the dilapidated Central Plains?"

Yuan Shu's words did not have the effect he expected.

Yes, Jizhou governed by Liu Jian is indeed the most affluent place in the world.

But the problem is that Jizhou is rich and prosperous, and Liu Jian is also strong!
Wouldn't it be courting death to provoke him at this time?

Among other things, Niu Fu, Hua Xiong, and Hu Zhen in the Xiliang army were defeated by Liu Jian one after another. No one here can match this ability alone.

Among the few present here, Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao and Shanyang prefect Wang Fen are both members of the party, and these two were also Yuan Shao's running friends in the past, during the period of the party, they had a close relationship with Yuan Shao.

At that time, they were in trouble together, and they were indeed friends.

But with the passage of time, especially after Yuan Shao became Jingzhou Beimu envoy, the relationship between these friends who used to be brothers and sisters, advancing and retreating together, changed.

Yuan Shao's identity and status have risen, and he begins to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf with his old friends.

To his former friends, he is no longer as polite as before.

Somewhat overriding their meaning.

Others may be fine, such as Cao Cao, a flexible hero, or Xu You, a flattering slave, they don't care much.

But people like Zhang Miao are not good, he gradually began to have a gap with Yuan Shao, and the relationship is no longer as strong as before.

Although on the surface, they are still dominated by the Yuan family, but in fact, they have long since left.

It's no wonder that as a member of the party, he is always proud, especially Zhang Miao and Wang Fen are also one of the "eight chefs". (Wang Kao is Wang Fen)
Bachu refers to people who donate money to charity and give relief.

That is to say, the kind of person who spares money with righteousness and likes to make friends with money.

Similar to the titles of Hubaoyi and Jiyu.

Just imagine, who are the people who are generally willing to abandon their families and careers, donate money, and use money to buy fame?

Naturally, they are all people with a certain pride and ambition.

For such a person, Yuan Shao treats him with friendship, which is fine.

But to treat him as a servant, the eight chefs naturally don't want to.

This is true for Yuan Shao, let alone Yuan Shu?

Zhang Miao asked Yuan Shu, "Liu Deran is a clan relative, and even a brother recognized by the late emperor. He still has King Chenliu in his hands. Don't say that he is powerful, even in name, we can't hold him!"

"Meng Zhuo's words are wrong!"

Yuan Shu said sternly: "More than forty clansmen, representing the people of Hebei, invited us to attack Jizhou. Doesn't this mean that Liu Jian has committed a heinous crime?"

Yuan Shu's words completely shocked everyone present, and at the same time made their hearts alive.

More than forty strong families?
If you can really cooperate with the inside and outside, you can really win Jizhou!
