The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Guo Jia let Zhong Yao run away, and Liu Han couldn't understand why he would do such an unwise move.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Guo Jia lowered his head to the ground, "Lord, I..."

After all, it was still a noble family. In his early years, Guo Jia lived in poverty. Because the Guo family in Yangdi was a remote concubine, he was not only ignored by others, but also beaten by some children of the family because of his intelligence. In short, he was bullied. One time, Guo Jia had a fever and was bullied. It was Zhong Yao who saved him, otherwise he would probably have died.

Although Zhong Yao didn't take it seriously, Guo Jia knew in his heart that he owed Zhong Yao his life.

After entering Chang'an, most of the officials in the original court were purged by Liu Han. The reason was very simple. With so many court ministers, even the emperor could not be saved. What use are you?

While purging the imperial ministers, he also purged the tycoons in the Sanfu area. Liu Han was not Cao Cao, so he was treated politely? It doesn't exist. He knows that as long as he gives these nobles a little courtesy, they will slap their noses and make small moves behind his back. Beat the useful ones half to death, and beat the useless ones to death directly. Physical destruction is the correct answer.

After listening to Guo Jia's speech, Liu Han felt a little disappointed: "Oh, just run away. You may be in trouble in the future. You can solve the trouble yourself."

Guo Jia was stunned. He knew that his lord had complicated emotions towards the Yingchuan nobles. If he didn't kill them, it would be a serious problem. If he killed them, he would feel it would be a pity. Letting Zhong Yao run away was a capital crime, but he still did it without hesitation. Now the board is raised high and falls gently...

"Lord, Jia..."

Liu Han looked at Guo Jia, Zhong Yao ran away, and his life had to go on. Since he didn't recognize him, he would not have any psychological burden to kill him in the future. "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. You will be fined for three years, so you let go." Zhong Yao, you must not be soft-hearted when facing old friends in the future."

Guo Jia: "My lord...here."

"Yingchuan noble clan..."

The nobles have always been a headache for Liu Han, especially the nobles in Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Runan.

In troubled times, you can use the knife, but once peace returns, those nobles who survived the troubled times or went dormant will secretly come back to infiltrate and corrupt this new empire.

The formation basis of the gentry is the wealthy family, but it is not limited to the wealthy family. As a powerful local clan in the Han Dynasty, there were several sources: the families of Eastern Han aristocrats, big business owners, big landowners and officials.

After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the Qin Dynasty adopted two policies: migration and exile. It was not until Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty that he stepped onto the stage of history due to the support of the aristocratic families. With the fall of the relatives and officials who represented the imperial power, the entire class of prime ministers and nobles developed greatly until the Eastern Jin Dynasty reached its peak.

Among them, the most famous ones are the Yingchuan gentry. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yingchuan gentry rose from birth to glory. During this period, they experienced the disasters of the party, the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, the abdication of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the southern crossing of Yongjia, Events such as the king and horse sharing the world had an important impact on the development path of the gentry.

The four major families in Yingchuan, Xun, Chen, Zhonghan, are all in the same spirit. Although other families are not as good as these four families, they are not much different. The Guo family, the Zhao family, the Xin family...

Xunshi obviously chose to oppose Liu Han, otherwise Xunyou would not have run out quickly after the city of Chang'an was broken. Now Zhongshi has also made his own choice.

"Since you have chosen to be your enemy, don't give up halfway!"

Now it is certain that the Yingchuan side is full of stubborn elements, so let's kill them!

Runan Pingyu.

With Cao Cao's help, Yuan Shao returned to his hometown with mixed emotions.

After working hard outside for several years, I finally had to come back and rest on my laurels. "Damn it!"

I wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue Yuan Shu, but I didn't succeed.

The situation of the Han Dynasty was once again undercurrent due to the death of the emperor.

Yuan Shao listened to the advice of his counselor Xu You. The most important thing now is to hold his troops steady and accumulate strength, waiting for the future counterattack by uniting the princes.

However, as the saying goes: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

Cao Cao did put a lot of effort into helping Yuan Shao capture most of Yuzhou, but Pei State became Cao Cao's.

The reasons given by Cao Cao were sufficient. Peiguo was his hometown and his brothers had settled accounts. Peiguo gave him the reward for helping him win Yuzhou this time. Having said this, it would be inappropriate for Yuan Shao not to give it, but he just felt uncomfortable.

In the past, Cao Cao was his younger brother, but now he feels like he has been replaced. Yuan Shao is the head of the fourth generation and the third prince, and he is very uncomfortable with it.

Yes.

Cao Cao saved his life at the critical moment of his defeat, and helped him capture Yuzhou, giving him a place to settle down, but he just felt uncomfortable, like a thorn in Yuan Shao's heart.

Although his little brother treats him well, Yuan Shao doesn't like a little brother who is out of control, and he doesn't like a little brother who can be on an equal footing with him, and he can't tolerate a little brother who wants to be the eldest brother.

Yuan Shao could only tell Xu You about this matter, because Xu You was his childhood friend, and he had a secret. Once it was revealed to the King of Hejian, he would be chased to death even if he fled to the ends of the earth. secret.

Xu You understood the inexplicable feeling in Yuan Shao's heart. After all, Yuan Shao wanted to punish Cao Cao, but he didn't want Cao Cao to develop so fast and was afraid that Cao Cao would ride on him.

But understanding is one thing, doing it is another.

Xu You understood that he was the only one under his lord who could help him now. Others, such as counselor Yingchuan, if Yuan Shaozhen had a conflict with Cao Cao, it was hard to say who to help. Xu You rolled his eyes: "Master, what you mean is, wait!"

"What does Ziyuan mean?"

Yuan Shao was a little disappointed. Don't you Xu You understand what he meant by saying this?

Make me wait?

Of course I knew I had to wait!

Xu You quickly explained: "My lord, my lord, I mean, wait for Cao Cao to make the first move!"

"Huh? He, Cao Mengde, still wants to swallow me?"

"Lord! Cao Cao has captured Yanzhou, but he has too much contact with the territory of the King of Hejian. Once the King of Hejian recovers, Cao Cao will be the first to face great pressure. If I were Cao Mengde, I would definitely be there before the King of Hejian attacks. Expand strategic depth, so Cao Cao will definitely be the first to take action."

After listening to Xu You's analysis, Yuan Shao nodded. The pressure from the King of Hejian was too great. At present, no prince could defeat this behemoth alone. The only way was to join forces!

"What if Cao Cao did not attack others, but chose to join forces with the princes?"

Xu You: "My lord, with Cao Cao's temperament, he won't do it."

"and then?"

"Then? My lord, do you think Yuan Shu will let this opportunity pass?"

Xu You's words were like a revelation. This time Cao Cao offended Yuan Shu severely. With his temperament, he would never let it go.

"What about us?"

"Lord, what we have to do now is to stabilize Yuzhou, then go south to occupy Nanyang, and then use Nanyang as a springboard to devour Jingzhou. Only with the resources of the two states can we possibly compete with the King of Hejian."

"There is Lu Bu in Nanyang."

Although Lu Bu is weak in brains, he is known to be strong in force. Even if Yan Liang and Wen are ugly, they still have to fight together.

"My lord, Jingzhou Liu Biao and my lord are allies. Compared to Lu Bu, Liu Biao is naturally more confident that my lord will resist the King of Hejian in Nanyang. Let's bribe Cai Mao again, and the two sides will join forces to squeeze Lu Bu out of Nanyang. It will be a piece of cake."

Yuan Shao nodded, "This is a clever plan, but this Lu Bu... has a serious problem at his heart after all."

Xu You immediately offered his advice: "Lord, we can..."

Such and such, such and such.

Xu You's secret words made Yuan Shao's eyes flash: "Okay! Good! Ziyuan is a great talent!" (End of Chapter)
