Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 362 Yan Hou ([-])

One month later

Taishan County

Fenggao County

The gate of the city was opened, and the gentry from all over Taishan County stood at the gate of the city one after another, eating pots of pulp to welcome the king.

The reason for this is that Yuan Shao, under Wang Jue's suggestion, made the slogan "rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats".

For all the cities occupied by Yuan Jun, all the land and population of the local Cao Cao Tuntian District were given to the local gentry, and all local officials were recommended by the local gentry to the imperial court. The servants of the gentry.

Under Yuan Shao's united front work, wherever Yuan Jun went, the local gentry welcomed them all.

Of course, if you just do a good job in the united front, it will be difficult to achieve this effect. After all, no one knows whether you, Yuan Shao, can stand up. What if you, Yuan Shao, can't beat Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao fights back in the future, what should we do if we blame us for colluding with you?
So another important reason is that Wang Jue has been in the Central Plains for the past few years, making the Central Plains gentry realize Yuan Shao's strength, and also believe that Yuan Shao can gain a firm foothold in their territory.

"It doesn't matter whether it is a feudal or a county. When it is necessary to be enfeoffed, I will be enfeoffed. When I need a county, I will be a county."

"It doesn't matter whether to check the acres or hide the acres. When I need the population and the acres to reward soldiers, I will check the population of the fields. When I need the united front, I will prohibit the counting of the population of the fields."

"Victory is everything, everything is victory!"

"The most important thing is to be able to win. If you can't win, it will be a waste of time to use any system."

"In order to win, I was still entrusted the day before, and I was in the county the day after."

"In order to win, one day I was still beating the local tyrants to divide the land, and the next day I was helping the gentry to annex the land of the common people."

"Win is everything!"

Wang Jue has never had "system worship". He can use the enfeoffment system or the county system, and he can use whatever he needs.

Regardless of enfeoffment or counties, there is no one who is advanced or who is behind, only the right timing and method are used.

He can incarnate as a devil and slaughter the gentry crazily, or he can become an angel and give various preferential treatment to the gentry.

Slaughtering the gentry is only a means of winning, and preferential treatment of the gentry is also just a means of winning.

The means are not important, the important thing is to win!
The specific method to be used depends on specific analysis of specific issues.

Dongjun is Wang Jue's base, so Wang Jue wants to massacre the Dongjun gentry in Dongjun, taking away all the land and population controlled by the Dongjun gentry.

Taishan County is not Wang Jue's base, so there is no need for such a bloody rule, not only can't bloody rule, but also cooperate with the local gentry to help the local gentry suppress the mud legs.

Facing the gentry who are close at hand, I want to slaughter them all, take everything from them, and make everything from them mine.

Facing the gentry who are farther away, I want to express my goodwill and collude with them to share benefits.

This is also a manifestation of long distance and close attack.

Wang Jue has mastered the control of people's hearts. The poor want to redistribute wealth, and the gentry want to solidify their classes. Wang Jue uses their psychology to turn them into his own pawns, guiding them to subconsciously and unconsciously serve his interests. Service, this is called making the best use of the situation and being kind like water.

"The "Tao Te Ching" says that the highest goodness is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting for it. It deals with the evils of all people, so it is almost in the way. Living in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, speaking good faith, governing well, doing good things and being able to move good Time. Husband only does not fight, so there is no preference."

"Water has no fixed shape. When it is contained in a green tripod, it is in the shape of a green tripod. When it is contained in a bucket, it is in the shape of a bucket."

"My Wang Jue's governance is [the best kindness is like water]. I have never had a fixed way of thinking or system. When blood is needed, it will be bloody, and when it needs softness, it will be gentle. Isn't this kind of governance just like water?"

The gentry in Cao Cao's ruled area found that those gentry who had taken refuge in Wang Jue had a much better life than before.

Wang Jue condoned the gentry to turn the common people into private slaves, and canceled various taxes on the gentry. (Except for Dongjun, the gentry in Dongjun are not only not allowed to annex their population, but they are also exterminated by Wang Jue with various excuses)
Taking refuge in Wang Jue can lead a more comfortable life than before, and Wang Jue is very good at fighting, which can ensure that their good life will continue and will not be destroyed by Cao Cao. So is there any reason not to take refuge in Wang Jue?
So, something weird happened.

Wang Jue kept slaughtering the sons of the gentry in Dongjun, but the gentry outside of Dongjun scrambled to surrender to Wang Jue, trying to cooperate with Wang Jue.

This is called a mob!
When a cow is hunted by a lion, other cows will not help, but will watch, unless a cow takes the lead, but even if a cow takes the lead, it is only a 3-minute heat. After the heat passes, the mob will still be the mob.

This is true of the Yellow Turban Army, and so is the princes who crusade against Dong Zhuo!

A hundred Jiang Ziya, if they can't unite, they will be a rabble and vulnerable.

If a hundred mud legs can be united as one, it will be a terrifying force, extremely powerful.

This is why Yuan Shao is obviously so powerful, has more advisers than Cao Cao, has more land than Cao Cao, has more soldiers and food than Cao Cao, and is more popular than Cao Cao, but he always cannot beat Cao Cao.

Because Yuan Shao's forces have been fighting among themselves, it is a state of disunity. In such a state of disunity, no matter how many famous advisers and generals there are, they are still mobs.

A force that is not united, even if there are 1 Xun Yu, is useless, and a force that is united, can take off if given Jian Yong.

……

Xu Chang
"Let's drop!"

"It's all down!"

Cao Cao was furious, the whole of Yanzhou was surrendered, and only Chen Deng's Xiapi remained in Xuzhou, but according to Cao Cao's previous understanding of Chen Deng, Chen Deng should be secretly contacting Wang Jue at this moment, wanting to have a talk with Wang Jue. Talk about the treatment after "surrender".

Today's Cao Cao, only Yuzhou and Sili are still in his hands. In just a few months, two states surrendered to Wang Jue.

Because Yuzhou had not been looted by Wang Jue, he had not felt the terror of Wang Jue.

"Horrible, terrifying!"

"Not only can you fight, but you also know how to choose and win people's hearts!"

Jia Xu also began to think about his future. He has never been loyal to anyone, whether it is Dong Zhuo, Zhang Xiu, or the current Cao Cao.

These people have never been the object of his allegiance, there is only one person who he is loyal to, and that person is... Jia Xu!
Yes, Jia Xu is only loyal to himself, he is not loyal to anyone but himself.

Dong Zhuo died, so he went to Nanyang with Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew. When Cao Cao came, he followed Cao Cao to hang around again. Now Cao Cao seems to be dying, so he should also find new forces to take refuge in.

"We still have an army of [-], and we can still fight!" Guo Jia comforted with a pale face. His health is not very good, and he looks like he is going to die at any time.

Because of Wang Jue's destructive looting, Cao Cao's food and grass supply was insufficient, so Cao Cao had to disband [-] soldiers, and only kept [-] soldiers, otherwise he couldn't afford it.

"Emperor Tu Baye, here is one move!" Cao Cao said firmly.

Not only will failure not make him decadent, but it will strengthen his belief in fighting to the end.
