Kuai Liang and Cai Mao thought well, Yuan Shu just wanted to split the family group under his command, so as to completely control the forces under his command.

The two of them are now important ministers under Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu doesn't really fully trust and accept them.

If you want to be reused and trusted by Yuan Shu, you have to pay the corresponding price. Because the family of the two is too powerful, it is really difficult to reassure Yuan Shu.

Most of the children of the family put the interests of the family first, Cai Mao is like this, Kuai Liang is like this, and even Gu Yongxunyu is like this.

Yuan Shu understands this truth very well. He is not untolerant, and he understands these people very well and can accept the situation.

But for the family behind them, Yuan Shu has to impose a lot of restrictions.

If many things go wrong at the beginning, then as Yuan Shu grows, these problems will become more and more dangerous, and eventually they will even become Yuan Shu's henchmen.

For example, Yuan Shu attaches the most importance to the issue of the family group. If it is not restricted now, with the close relationship between the Jingzhou families now, with the growth of Yuan Shu's power, it will inevitably become a problem for Yuan Shu in the future.

He didn't want to wait for himself to conquer the world, only to find out that the family still had the final say, and he would still be restrained by these people.

The matter of dividing the fief is actually a choice that Yuan Shu gave to the family.

Or, you just be obedient, honestly don't form gangs, don't jump on my turf. I have left you with a foundation of the world, and you can completely toss and turn on your own turf.

Or, you don't think about this fiefdom, I won't limit you too much like the previous one, as long as you don't go too far.

Of course, the latter is just a promise given by Yuan Shu casually. After all, as long as the family is not stupid and has a little greed, they will choose the former.

If you really have no desire, then you are not a family. The family's thirst for heritage and land can be described as insane.

That's why Yuan Shu dug such a trap, making the families scramble and jump in willingly.

As for those who want to step on two boats, they want fiefdoms, but they are not willing to give up their family inheritance. Yuan Shu will definitely not be soft on them.

Do you really think it's okay to pretend to be confused? When Yuan Shu's domineering and strong are ornaments?

As long as you take the fief, you have to obediently spit out a large part of the family inheritance, and you must act in accordance with the unspoken rules of Yuan Shu in the future. Otherwise, your family's fiefdom must be very interesting to other families, there are so many Jingzhou families, and Yuan Shu doesn't mind slaughtering a few more.

Even if you don't take the fiefdom, you have to obediently divide and defend yourself on your own territory. This is the overlord clause formulated by Yuan Shu, who belongs to the strong.

For Kuai Liang Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, Yuan Shu still appreciates it very much. Although he was dissatisfied with the two of them pretending to be confused, Yuan Shu only secretly asked Xun You to mention a few words a little, and just dispel the luck of the two. And there was no excesses.

This is the principle of Yuan Shu's actions. Whoever you command, no matter who you are, must follow the principles you have set for yourself, even the advisors you rely on the most.

I can give you and reward you with fiefs and wealth, but you can't take it yourself without telling you, let alone deceive me. Otherwise, there is only a dead end.

Regarding the issue of the ruling power of the forces under his command, Yuan Shu did not give in the slightest. I don't care if the family is unbalanced or insecure.

Jingzhou is no longer the Jingzhou of the family, but the Jingzhou of Yuan Shu. Since the moment these families coveted the fiefdom of Zhuyazhou, they were destined to lose and completely lose the ownership of Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu looked at the various information of Jingyang and Yang with satisfaction, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself: "One hand radish and the other hand stick, this is really the king's way!" This poisonous incense bait, the families swallowed it without hesitation after all. ”

Xun You said tentatively as if jokingly: "Even if the fiefdom is a trap, the families will still jump without hesitation." Lord, when will you leave a fief for my Xun family? ”

Yuan Shu was stunned, and after reacting, he said meaningfully: "When you become the head of the family, the fief of the Xun family will naturally be handed over to you." ”

The complicated and grateful look in Xun You's eyes flashed, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Xun You knew that Yuan Shu did all this only because of him, not for the Xun family behind him.

For the shameful behavior of the Xun family betting around, Yuan Shu not only was not dissatisfied, but also agreed to the fief, and Xun You's heart was full of deep gratitude.

The king regards his ministers as siblings, and his ministers regard him as his confidants. Yuan Shu really made Xun You very grateful for doing this.

Yuan Shu waved his hand casually and said: "Gongda doesn't need to be like this, you follow me at the earliest, and you should get these." I, Yuan Highway, am not a cold person, and I won't do such a thing as a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey. ”

"Do you think Kuailiang Cai Mao will understand my thoughts?"

Xun You smiled slightly: "They can become the head of the family, if they can't even see this thing, I'm afraid they will be pulled off the horse a long time ago." You don't need to worry, my lord, everything will go as planned. ”

Yuan Shu sighed: "Family, family!" No more, no less, no control, no release, I can only do this! ”

Xun You said again: "The lord's move can be said to be a one-stone move, and it is a great joy for the lord and the family. However, the lord, although Zhu Yazhou is a part of Jiaozhou, he has actually been wandering away, and he will be sealed when he is sealed. But if you encounter this situation again in the future, it is better not to seal it out. ”

Yuan Shu said indifferently: "It's okay, I have my own measure." All fiefs must be outside the Han Dynasty, and they must be taken by the families themselves. Except for a few sweeps at the beginning, I'll leave everything else to the family. ”

Xun You said with some concern: "But my lord, except for the island group in Yingzhou, there is no suitable place for fiefdom near my Dahan now!" ”

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, and as soon as Yuan Shu's trick of dividing the family came out, the princes of the world studied it one after another to see if they could learn from it.

In the end, it turned out that this trick seemed to be able to be used by Yuan Shu.

First of all, the area within Dahan must not be sealed out. And most of the places outside the Han Dynasty are not necessarily accessible even if they are sealed out.

Needless to say, the north is a bitter cold land in the eyes of everyone, and it is full of foreign invasion. Which family is willing to go?

The barren lands in the west and the complicated situation in the Western Regions also have countless alien rebellions, which are not suitable as fiefdoms at all.

Come to think of it, it would be more appropriate to seal some islands in the east and south. Not to mention the favorable climate, there is not much danger.

But the islands also have requirements. First, it has to be big enough, and second, it can't be too far.

To sum up, the three places that are suitable for Yingzhou, Yizhou and Zhuyazhou are currently suitable.

Now the only one who can make trouble on the sea is Yuan Shu's family, and the other princes can only covet these islands, and they can't afford to get a piece of the pie at all.

Therefore, the trick of dividing the seal can be used by Yuan Shu now, and other princes cannot copy it at all.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall. Everyone who should know about Yingzhou knows, including Xun You, Cai Mao and others, almost everyone thinks that the next territory that Yuan Shu will divide is Yingzhou.

And it was probably the last suitable fief, so they all took it very seriously. But fortunately, Yingzhou is very large, about half the size of Yangzhou, which is enough for them to share.

What Xun You is worried about now is that Yuan Shu is used to using this trick, and if Jiaozhou is sealed out at that time, then the matter will be big. As long as there is a precedent for this kind of thing, no one knows what it will turn out to be. If you don't get it right, it will evolve into the situation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Yuan Shu naturally understood what Xun Yu was worried about: "Gongda, don't worry. What you feared won't happen. This world will be my world, and I will never give away anything that can only belong to me! ”
