Haoqiang is a good thing, although they will decentralize power, Haoqiang can bring greater stability to the local area. The only thing is that their growth is not a good thing for those in power.

More often than not, if it weren't for the fact that the local rulers did not have a status to match, the powerful would not rebel, but would choose to cooperate with those in power to achieve higher interests together. For example, Yanbei was stationed in Liaodong, and Haoqiang was reluctant to cooperate with him, because he did not have an equal status with him, and instead of letting him rule the county, it was better for the Haoqiang in Liaodong to manage it themselves, so conflicts were inevitable, and it also set the tone for Yan's treatment of Haoqiang.

This directly led to the disappearance of the seven surnames in Youzhou.

But more often, for example, Liu Biao used the support of Jingzhou's native Kuai, Cai and other clans to pacify Jingzhou, which was equivalent to giving him a state of land out of thin air. But the disadvantages of this are also obvious...... How many talents are there in Jingzhou? Outstanding people take in scholars, is it because Liu Biao doesn't know that there are so many talents in the state? No, those generals who started from the end of the year are not mentioned for the time being, those scholars have a great reputation, so that Liu Bei can come to visit them one by one at the beginning of his refuge, how can Liu Biao not know?

But there are several big families that hold important positions everywhere, even if Liu Biao knows that people are talented, how can he appoint them?

Even under huge pressure, appointing talented scholars among them, can they really do better than Kuai Yue and others? Not really.

Even if Zhuge Liang is out of Liu Biao, the role he can play in Jingzhou is not as good as Kuai Yue, or even Cai Mao.

Because Jingzhou is not an empty shelf, and the Liu clan in Jingzhou is not like the subordinates of the Yan clan or Liu Bei in the north, who struggled from scratch bit by bit, and the southern and northern wars had extraordinary interests from top to bottom. The interests that Jingzhou can divide as early as the beginning of Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou, even if Zhuge Liang is appointed as a different driver, if he wants to do something drastically, he must first attack the local clans in Jingzhou, regardless of success or failure, Liu Biao's power will be damaged.

Another disadvantage of the native clan is that they are not loyal enough.

Princes can come and go, but this land will always belong to the people who live here, and the most powerful among them are naturally their great clans. Great clans and princes, many times have common interests, but sometimes they ...... Their interests were not the same as those of the princes.

Just like the current Jingzhou, there are two Jingzhou pastors with comparable legitimacy.

One is Liu Qi, the acting state pastor jointly elected by Liu Biao who is injured and ill and unable to serve the Houzhou people, he is the eldest son of Liu Biao and has enough legitimacy, but the disadvantage is that the Cai family does not support him; The other is Liu Cong, who was previously taken away and released back to Jingzhou by Yanbei, he is the second son of Liu Biao, although it is not his turn to inherit, but he has the official seal of the imperial court, not to mention that Cai and Kuai all support him.

Of course, Liu Cong's biggest advantage is indispensable - he has the support of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in Jingzhou by the Yan clan, and almost semi-encircled the entire Jingzhou, which can undoubtedly bring huge pressure to Liu Qi from the other side.

From the moment Yanbei put Liu Cong back to Jingzhou, the dispute in Jingzhou did not lie with the Yan family and the Liu family, but became a family affair with the Liu family. The benefits of this result to Yanbei were obvious, and the common hatred of the people of Jingzhou against the invasion was gone in a blink of an eye. Even though people know that Liu Cong actually represents the Yan family, they are psychologically much more acceptable.

Liu Cong was as stupid as a pig to Yanbei, and he was very relieved to hand over Jingzhou to such a person!

As for the other Liu Qi, to be honest, it's pretty much the same. Although he heard that Liu Qi and Liu Biao looked very similar, Yanbei stubbornly believed that Liu Qi not only inherited Liu Biao's appearance, but also inherited his Laozi's great ambition and talent.

At the time of Jingzhou's life and death, there are Yan clans outside and Cao clans inside, and they are both powerful foreign princes who have taken a fancy to the land of Jingzhou and want to take it into their pockets, while the Liu family has a huge territory but is divided into two factions because of the inheritance support of the two sons, and this disadvantage completely broke out after Liu Biao was injured...... To be honest, in the eyes of Yan Bei, this kind of thing is no less than another Yan general's attack on Jingzhou.

However, in the eyes of Liu Cong and Liu Qi, such a problem was extremely deserved, and they forcibly ordered them to give away the advantage of Liu as the second largest force in Jingzhou, suppress and unite with Cao Cao to fight against the Yan clan, and make Jingzhou a place of melee between the four sides.

Yan Bei, Cao Cao, Liu Qi, Liu Cong.

Yanbei can be seen from the sidelines, his army has occupied half of Jingzhou, and supports Liu Cong to recover the whole of Jingzhou, his enemies are Cao Cao and Liu Qi; On the one hand, Chen Bing blocked Zhang Liao in Jiangling, and on the other hand, he developed Changsha and sent a number of soldiers and horses to the southern counties in the north to stabilize the county, and at the same time sent people to contact Liu Bei in an attempt to further expand Cao's power.

The two outsiders can ignore Jingzhou, but are Liu Qi and Liu Cong the two brothers?

But that's what they did, Liu Qi turned a blind eye to Liu Cong's advice, and riveted enough strength to gather forces to fight to the death with his younger brother in the north, but all the officials around him who planned to pass Liu Cong north were suppressed by him with thunder, as if to prove to the world that he was a hero.

In just over a month, six scholars with an official position of Qianshi were killed by his brother Liu Pan to lead the troops.

Thanks to Liu Pan, the best general of the Liu family, by his side, he was able to suppress the generals who wanted to rebel on his side. In the past, Liu Pan was the only one of the Liu generals in Jingnan who dared to lead his troops to plunder and attack in the south, and his reputation was extremely high in the Jingzhou army, and no one dared to disobey him.

And Liu Cong, on his side, was also immersed in the false complacency of his own people's aspirations, learning from his father in the past to govern Xiangyang, and making Guo Jia look like a corporal of courtesy...... In the letter sent by Guo Jia to Yanbei, Guo Jia gave Liu Cong a four-word comment, 'good' and 'not enough'.

Yes, it is said that Liu Cong, as a person who governs the government, is not bad, but after Liu Biao, he has learned a lot of talents. But this is not enough, it means that in today's situation, there is no need for people like Liu Cong.

In short, this is not only not a bad person, but also an honest person, and his ambitions are not bold or big, and he is the kind of person who is least needed today.

On the other hand, Cao Cao in Nanjun and Changsha is not honest.

He actually contacted Liu Bei to call someone!

In fact, it's not difficult to think about it, Liu Bei is essentially an old revolutionary, and he is quite righteous, although he goes wherever he goes, even if he deviates in the end, he has never stabbed someone in the back, and there is no prince in the world who does not want such a mercenary.

The key is that Liu Bei doesn't have anything brilliant in terms of big strategy, but as Lao Ge, he is indeed very capable of fighting.

But now Liu Bei's life is also very difficult, the people sent by Cao Cao only knew in the past that Lao Liu, who could fight, was beaten all over his head in Yizhou, and Ma Chao in the north and Shi Xie in the south were flanked back and forth, and he really didn't have the strength to come to Jingzhou to help him!
