Youzhou controls Huqi in the north and Heshuo in the south, which has both farming and nomadic benefits. During the Warring States period thousands of years ago, the Yan Kingdom was among the Seven Heroes, so Youzhou was a strong feudal town in the Great Jin Dynasty. In the current situation where the Qiang, Di, and Hu ethnic groups are in turmoil, and Yizhou, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, which are all border prefectures and counties from the southwest to the north, are all in turmoil, Youzhou is the only one who can maintain stability in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is the last chain on the crumbling defense line of the Great Jin Dynasty against the Hu people.

On the other hand, in recent years, the Central Plains has been in turmoil, and Youzhou is far away from the whirlpool and is rarely damaged by military disasters, so it has become the target of many kings by virtue of its strength. Under the scrambling of many parties, the more powerful local officials in Youzhou, such as Wang Jun and Wang Pengzu, seem to have become a key player enough to influence the situation in the Central Plains.

Youzhou is so important, the imperial court will never sit back and watch its position as military and political chief be vacant for a long time. Therefore, Daijun's infiltration of Youzhou is in full swing, and its momentum is just like a sentence that 6 Yao often hangs on his lips: "Seize the day."

In order to achieve the goal as much as possible, not only a group of capable personnel mainly Shao Xu, Fang Qinzhi, Zhu Sheng and others worked hard, but even 6 Yao himself took considerable risks to cross the mountains and mountains several times to reach the hinterland of Youzhou. After all, there are some special characters who are still worth seeing in person by 6 Haruka.

On this day in late September, 6 Yao appeared again in the military capital pass not far northwest of Changping County, Yan State. The Jundu Pass is not long, about 40 miles, the cliffs on both sides of the deep ditch stand like a wall, steep and unclimbable, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. If you want to go from Yanguo, Fanyang and other places in the core area of Youzhou to Daidi and Bashang grassland, this pass is a very important passage; And vice versa.

Lu Yao habitually looked at the distant scenery of the lofty mountains, and then turned his horse forward, stepping into the mountain road between the cliffs and deep valleys, and dozens of horses and martial arts followed him.

Although the mountain path is narrow, it is not particularly difficult to walk with the long-tempered riding skills of 6 Haruka. He took the reins with one hand and steered the horse forward at will. Sometimes the earth and rocks under the horse's hooves disintegrated into small pieces, and the sound of the friction of the rope fell to the bottom of the deep valley, and the thrill almost made the knights gasp, and did not pay special attention to 6 Haruka.

Youzhou! Youzhou! Although it is sheltered by mountains, 6 Yao seems to have seen the place where heroes are used. He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement that appeared from time to time, and turned to thinking about various practical issues.

In order to be able to effectively control Youzhou, there are too many situations that need to be explored in advance, such as the distribution of Youzhou families and local heroes; Another example is the strength and preparedness of the officers and troops in various places, and the ability of leading generals and colonies; It also includes the specific talents, preferences, and tendencies of local officials; Even the maintenance of the roads in various places, the direction of mountains and rivers, and so on...... 6 Yao pondered over and over for a long time, slowed down his horse slightly, and asked Fang Mianzhi to come closer, and asked, "Have you calculated the number I want?" ”

Related to his work experience in his previous life, 6 Haruka does not like to have flowery words in official documents, but repeatedly emphasizes the use of solid numbers to describe the actual situation. In this regard, the Fang brothers, who have been in business for many years, have a special advantage. Among the three brothers, the elder brother Fang Qinzhi is very eloquent and courageous, while Fang Mianzhi is proficient in arithmetic and familiar with the genus of "Nine Chapters". 6 After discovering this specialty, if he obtained the treasure, he regarded it as a very rare talent, and immediately enlisted him as the Xicao Shuzuo, and ordered him to accompany him to count and verify the various numbers.

6 When Yao passed through this place the last time, he suddenly remembered that although the Youzhou army was defeated, the strength of the private troops of the local wealthy clan was not damaged. These wealthy clans have intertwined power in their native hometowns, and have controlled the household registration and tribes for generations, and they have considerable potential both economically and militarily. If you want to control Youzhou, you can't bypass these big families, and although it is still difficult to find out their economic power at the moment, at least you must have a general understanding of their private armed situation. Therefore, he ordered Fang Mianzhi to transfer people from Zhu Sheng's subordinates to secretly visit the local powerful troops in various counties and counties of Youzhou, and compile them into a complete report.

Fang Mianzhi is six years younger than his brother, it is the age of enthusiasm and momentum, and after he was appointed by 6 Yao as Xicao Shuzuo, it was the first time that he was given a task to be in charge of alone, so he was very attentive. Hearing 6 Yao's inquiry, he immediately replied: "The three places of Changping, Jixian, and Guangyang in Yanguo, and Zhuoxian, Liangxiang, and Yuxian in Fanyang have already made returns. I also arranged for someone who was familiar with the local situation to conduct the review. In other places, the inspectors have not yet been able to return. ”

Zhu Sheng's subordinates have been mainly monitoring the movements of the three strong Xianbei clans in the east recently, and there are not many people active in the southern part of Youzhou, and it was only five days ago that they arranged this task. With the limited manpower to close the situation of six counties in five days, the action has been very fast. 6 Haruka nodded slightly.

Fang Mianzhi leaned over and rummaged through the leather bag hanging on the side of the saddle, took out a scroll and unfolded it: "The situation of the Hao clan in the six counties has been roughly recorded here. According to rough statistics, those who have more than 1,000 private soldiers and have their own well-armored bows and knives have three families: the Lu family, the Zu family, and the Feng family; There are a total of 16 wealthy families with more than 100 private soldiers. If the figures of the remaining 12 counties of Yan and Fan Yang are combined, it is estimated that there will be five private soldiers with more than 1,000 soldiers, and 29 with more than 100 soldiers, and the number of troops under their jurisdiction will be close to 10,000. ”

6 Seeing that Fang Mianzhi's hands were unreined and holding the dossier very nervously, he smiled and motioned him to ride his horse carefully and take the dossier to watch.

Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the registered household registration is mainly concentrated in Yanguo and Fanyang. 6 The total number of Daijun, Shanggu and Quang Ninh in the possession of Yao, the official record of the Taikang period claims to be 11,000 households, but the actual number of households is less than 60% now, and it was only enriched after a large number of displaced people from the grassland of Bashang were included. And the household registration in Yanguo and Fanyang is nearly 40,000, and the number of tribes and tenants under the shadow of the big families is probably the same, and the generation land is really far behind.

With Yan and Fanyang, Wang Jun was able to organize tens of thousands of troops to go south to the Central Plains several times, and the clans could also control nearly 10,000 private soldiers.

However, the difference between Youzhou and Daijun is also here. Daijun was recovered by Lu Yao from the Hu people, and Hu'er's tribal system was almost destroyed in the fierce battle, and the Daijun Jin people were enslaved and driven by Hu'er for many years, and completely lost their original clan organization. 6 With strong troops, they were brought under military management.

Youzhou is completely different. To the north of it, the Murong Division, the Yuwen Division, and the ill-intentioned Duan Division, which had already carved up a piece of land, people, and pastures; In the south, many Jin people are strong and powerful to collude with each other, and they affect the whole body. Such a piece of land, such a huge force, if it can be brought under control, is enough to achieve great things. But if the governance is not lawful, it will be too upside down and become a puppet pushed in the foreground by the clans.

Taking Wang Pengzu as an example, he relied on his keen sense of smell and unique balancing measures to unify the Hu and Jin ethnic groups, thus creating a situation of megashock in the Central Plains. However, after careful analysis, his failure was not only due to the betrayal of the Xianbei people, but also how could the wealthy families in Youzhou really be of the same heart and mind as him?

The seemingly invincible Youzhou Army no longer has the will to continue fighting after a setback, isn't this because the children of the Youzhou Army who come to be proud of the strong warrior clan are secretly promoting? After the defeat of Weiyuan, Wang Jun, with the power of a hussar general, was unable to mobilize the private soldiers of the major clans in various places to enrich his troops, wasn't this because the local clans were tired of Wang Jun's reckless military force, so they forcefully resisted his orders? Wang Jun's strength is like a high-rise building built on the beach, which looks gorgeous, but it is in danger of falling apart at any time.

Can I 6 Daoming do better than Wang Jun? What kind of means can I use to control Youzhou?

6 Yao handed the file back to Fang Mianzhi, thinking in his heart, but his expression was calm and peaceful, as if this trip was for field hunting in autumn. As Daijun grew stronger, 6 Haruka became more and more accustomed to showing his majesty in his own right, and always seemed to be confident, and he did have more and more means to solve problems.
