Chapter 390: The Shi Family Returns

After achieving the great victory of the Jieting, Liu Yin did not return to Tianshui, but set up camp near the Jieting, his eyes no longer focused on the Longyou behind him, but to the vast Sanfu area.

Although it is said that this battle is fought happily, Liu Yin's mind is very clear, now is not the time to cheer for victory, Sima Wang's 80,000 army retreated, and the entire Guanzhong is still monolithic, and it will not be easy to take it down.

What's more, Zhonghui in Yizhou has always been Liu Yin's confidant, if Zhonghui returns to help, even if he sends a part of the army, Liu Yin will have to bear the dilemma of fighting on both sides, which Liu Yin must guard.

But now the situation is okay, and the news from Hanzhong proves that Zhonghui's army is still in Yizhou at the moment, and there is no sign of withdrawal for the time being.

Liu Yin didn't know what Sima Zhao thought, the situation in the entire Guanlong was already dangerous, but Sima Zhao kept pressing Zhong Hui's soldiers, maybe it was a vested interest and refused to let go, maybe Sima Zhao never regarded himself as an opponent, thinking that he couldn't set off much trouble in Guanlong.

Liu Yin had to admit that compared with a predator like Sima Zhao, he could only be regarded as a nobody, and it was normal for Sima Zhao to look down on himself. As Sima Zhao, who sits in the land of ten states in the world and has the ambition of unifying the four seas, what happened in Longxi can only be a small accident at best, and it is definitely not enough to shake Sima Zhao's ambition to dominate.

Anyone will make mistakes, and despising himself will definitely be the biggest mistake of Sima Zhao's life. And this undoubtedly creates a favorable condition for himself, as long as he can take Chang'an and the entire Guanzhong with lightning speed. is equivalent to strangling Zhonghui's retreat. The whole world will change dramatically. Sima Zhao will also pay a heavy price for his own arrogance.

Late will change! The development of the situation is destined that Liu Yin must win a quick victory in Guanzhong, otherwise he will not have the slightest chance when Sima Zhao transfers the prefectures and counties in the world, Zhonghui and even the army attacking Wu.

And now there are only Sima Wang's 80,000 troops in the entire Guanzhong, after the battle of Jieting, the military spirit of the Wei army is bound to be sluggish, and the morale has also fallen to the lowest, this is indeed a golden opportunity, missed this opportunity. Maybe not anymore.

Therefore, Liu Yin's faction did not return to Longyou, let alone hold a celebration banquet, and all the troops were waiting for the opportunity to move on the front line of Jieting Guangwei.

However, the news of the Shu army's victory in Jieting spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the entire Longyou counties.

Majiawu Fort is full of guests at this moment, and the gentry and wealthy families from all over the country have come to ask Old Man Ma.

Old Man Ma was also in a deep shock, he never expected that Liu Yin's battle would be won so neatly, and the 100,000 troops of the Wei army came with a hurry, but they left in defeat. Old Man Ma is also glad that he made his decision. just watched from the wall, and did not choose to be the enemy of Liu Yin. Otherwise, the fate of the Ma family is likely to be the same as the defeated Wei army, and there will be no chance to turn over.

"It seems that this Liu Yinguo, the general of Shu Han Zhenbei, is not a thing in the pool." Old Man Ma squinted his eyes, stroked his white hair slightly, and said leisurely. He understood that after this battle, Liu Yin had firmly established himself in Longyou, and it was time for the Ma family and the entire Longyou family to make a choice.

Old Man Ma exchanged views with the head of the Longyou Zhushi family, and almost unanimously expressed his willingness to support Liu Yin. When Liu Yin first arrived in Longyou, all the scholars were watching, and at that time, no one believed that Liu Yin could block the counterattack of the Wei army, and all the scholars did not dare to risk offending the Wei State and befriend Liu Yin. And at this moment, all the scholars have seen Liu Yin's strength, and everyone understands that if they don't make a move at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to get any money.

Soon, the scholars of Longyou reached a consensus and were willing to fully support Liu Yin. At the moment, the old man Ma and the heads of the three major families of Li, Yang, and Liang were the representatives, bought cattle wine, and went to the Shujun camp in Jieting to reward the army.

Of course, Liu Yin understands the intention of the four scholars, he reached a tacit understanding with the old man Ma on the same day on Majiawu Fort, although the two sides did not implement the things on paper, but they are tacit to each other, as long as Liu Yin can repel the invading soldiers of the Wei State and gain a firm foothold in Longyou, including the Ma family, the Longyou scholars will fully support Liu Yin.

The current world is based on the Shi family, the Shi family economy almost controls the world, Liu Yin wants to dominate the world, and the Shi family is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed after all. And no matter what state or county the scholar family has, there is no concept of loyalty and patriotism in their bones, and in their minds, the interests of the scholar family are greater than the sky.

This undoubtedly also gave Liu Yin an opportunity, in Longyou, as long as he can get the support of the four major scholars of Longyou headed by the Ma family, he can firmly gain a firm foothold in Longyou.

Of course, there must be a harvest that requires paying, and after getting the support of the Longyou scholars, it is also necessary to share a part of the power to these scholars, at this point, Liu Yin is not stingy, in fact, this is an equivalent exchange.

When Liu Yin first entered Longxi, he did not get the support of the Longyou scholars, at that time he did not have a convincing strength, and now he has thwarted the counterattack of the Wei State, so that the Longyou scholars are sideways, and at the same time they also understand that the opportunity cannot be lost, and the truth that it will not come again, if they continue to watch from the wall, then it is likely to marginalize their power, and if they want to keep the status of their major scholars unchanged in Longyou, they naturally have to pay something.

This time, the scholars sent cattle wine to reward the Shu army, and at the same time brought good news to Liu Yin.

This time, the soldiers of Longyou also made a bloody investment, and for the benefit of the family, they bet all the treasures on Liu Yin's body.

Of course, the return is also very realistic, Liu Yin agreed that the existing officials at all levels in Longyou counties remain unchanged, seven or eight out of ten of these officials are from wealthy families, and they have always held the positions of middle and low-level officials, which is also the foundation of the survival of the scholars.

Liu Yin's move is a benefit but not a fee, he originally had no intention of cleaning up the middle and lower level officials, after all, if he wants to maintain the stability of the political situation in Longyou, things at this level of government are still untouchable, especially the middle and lower level officials, and they should not be moved lightly.

The Longyou family made a choice this time and chose to stand on Liu Yin's side, so that Liu Yin was secretly relieved that in the next battle in Guanzhong, he could integrate more resources and seize more opportunities. (To be continued.) )
