Chapter 288: The Southern Barbarians' Change
Guo Jia's worries are not unreasonable, perhaps he has stayed in the comfortable place of Yizhou for too long, and the local families and gentry have rapidly degenerated, and the entire upper class has rotted almost from head to toe. Otherwise, even if Liu Yan is incompetent, it is impossible to toss Yizhou to this point.
In history, these people first saw Liu Bei's great fall to Liu Bei, and after Liu Bei's death, these local snakes in Yizhou all had different intentions one by one, and they wanted to be Cao Wei's leading party.
What is the use of this incompetent wall-to-wall grass? Not to mention, the demise of Shu also has a large part of the responsibility, and Liu Chan's surrender is definitely the handiwork of this group of goods.
Although there are many strategists under Liu Yan's command, most of them basically do not belong to local families. Liu Bei reused the Jingzhou faction headed by Zhuge Liang to suppress the family in Yizhou, you can't abandon the virtuous and don't use it, reuse these local snakes who are bent on doing right with you!
"Jingzhou's hand and the Yangzhou family's hand will be stretched over soon, is it too late?"
"Don't worry, the lord has already been ready, these scholars have already completed the assessment, and the official position deployment has been decided, just wait for this batch of scholars to arrive, everything will be a foregone conclusion."
Yuan Shu, who had long regarded Yizhou as a forbidden body, naturally would not let other voices in this place, so he prepared well in advance, and arranged for his soldiers to pack and send them over as soon as he took Yizhou. Thousands of scholars are enough to control more than eighty percent of the power in Yizhou, which will definitely allow Yuan Shu to build Yizhou into a solid foundation.
……
Deep in the mountains south of Yizhou, Meng Hu, the leader of the Meng tribe who received the letter from Guo Jia, had a bright light in his eyes.
"Come on, go and inform the cave masters to come and discuss important matters!"
At the same time, Zhu Rong, the leader of the Zhurong tribe, sent the same message.
The Zhurong tribe and the Meng tribe are both the two most powerful tribes in the Southern Barbarians. Different from the strong force of the Meng tribe, although the Zhurong tribe has a long heritage, although it has a deeper heritage, it has declined slightly over the years. In particular, the current chief, who is nearly fifty years old, has no children under his knees, and only one daughter exists. According to this posture, it won't take many years for this Nanban to be the dominant situation of the Meng tribe.
After getting the news that the Meng tribe had also summoned the cave masters of the Southern Barbarians, Zhu Rong thought about it, sighed lightly and withdrew the clansmen who went to the caves to deliver the letters, and led the clansmen to the Meng tribe.
A few days later, the Meng tribe. Almost all the tribal leaders of the Nanban gathered together, and the people present were all unruly and short-tempered people, so they naturally made a lot of noise. Many tribal leaders who have friction with each other are arguing, and if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here to show it, I am afraid that they would have to stage an all-out martial arts in public.
"Shut up Lao Tzu!" Meng Hu shouted.
The people of the Southern Barbarians only believed in force, and Menghu's force was indeed convinced by everyone. The first master of Nanmanchu, under this name, the Meng tribe has developed day by day, and it has caught up with and surpassed the Zhurong tribe in just over ten years.
All the tribal leaders stopped the call and sat back in their seats, cursing in a low voice.
Meng Huquan couldn't hear this. There's no way, barbarians are like this, it's good to let these people talk quietly, if Meng Shu continues to talk about it, these people can fight with him.
At this time, the elderly Zhu Rong stood up, coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, Meng Hu recruited you here today for a major matter related to the survival of the Southern Barbarians, and I hope that the leaders will be calm and impatient, and listen to what Meng Hu has said." ”
As soon as Zhu Rong's words came out, all the people below who were still cursing quietly lost their voices.
Seeing this, the corners of Meng Hu's eyes twitched. Again, he, the strongest man in the Southern Barbarians, still can't compare to Zhu Rong's name!
But at this time, he didn't care about this, Zhurong is the belief of the barbarians, so no matter which tribe is in power, the Zhurong tribe will always stand, and there is nothing Meng Hu can do about it.
"Yizhou has given us a war letter, inviting us to fight in ten days. What do you guys think? Meng Hu said with a big grin.
As soon as Meng Hu's words fell, an emaciated figure stood up and said, "Leaders, don't be fooled, this must be Yuan Shu's conspiracy!" ”
This person was pale, emaciated, and had a bookish aura all over his body, and at a glance he knew that he was not a barbarian. This is one of the remnants of the family who escaped from Yizhou.
Meng Hu looked at the goods: "Who are you?" The leaders of our Nanban tribes are discussing matters, what qualifications do you have to speak? ”
Now it is the Han people who want to attack themselves, and Meng Hu saw that this guy who was obviously a Han man, and his face was full of distrust.
"Although he is a Han Chinese, the Han thief Yuan Shu, who forcibly occupied Yizhou, wiped out the whole clan and lived here alone. I have a common enmity with the Han people who occupied Yizhou, and I hope that the leader of Menghu will believe in the sincerity of a certain one! This thing said with dignity.
The tribal leader beside him had a slightly dissatisfied face, but he still stood up and said, "Meng Hu, what this kid said is good. He has also come up with a lot of good plans for me before, and he is a credible person. ”
It turned out that this soldier was the one who used the barbarians' powerful individual combat ability and familiarity with the terrain to disperse and harass the Yizhou border. Looking at his proud and upright look, I don't know what he is proud of? Knowing that he couldn't defeat Yuan Shu, he bullied the unarmed Han people with the barbarians.
Although Guo Jia's thing is really not authentic, it was not Yuan Shu but Liu Yan who destroyed the Yizhou family. And Guo Jia didn't beat all the families in Yizhou to death with a stick, and he didn't clean up some of the good reviews.
For example, Wu Yi's Wu family, Zhang Song's Zhang family, Qin Mi's Qin family, and other seven families.
And what is interesting is that not only do these families have geniuses, but also the family size is among the best among the more than 30 families in Yizhou. When Huang Zhong attacked Chengdu, they closed their doors and thanked their guests, and they did whatever Liu Yan asked them to do, and they were very cooperative, so that they survived the catastrophe safely. And when Guo Jia was about to secretly clean them up, these families pushed out the wizards cultivated in their families again.
In front of these rare talents, Guo Jia immediately stopped, and secretly knocked on these families, asking them to hand over the land and official positions first, and then let them go lightly.
I have to say that there are really a lot of talents in Yizhou, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Qin Mi, Liu Ba, Wang Lei, Dong He and so on. These people combined, even Yuan Shu was a little greedy.
This strange phenomenon is also the reason why Yuan Shu is helpless to the family. The family all started with sin, and came up step by step from the gentry by looting the people's fat and people's ointment. Pull out all the small and medium-sized families under Yuan Shu's command and wipe out all the clans, and none of the ten will be wronged. But if it reaches a certain scale, these families will change from black to white, and begin to become the best assistants to assist Yuan Shu in managing the people.
There is no way, except for the occasional talent from the poor family, more than seventy percent of the top talents in the world come from the family. Just like these people who were recommended to Yuan Shu by these families, each of them is a first-class talent or above. For the sake of these talents, Yuan Shu can only temporarily let go of these families.
