Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Youzhou.

After days of fighting, the situation in Youzhou was eased by Cao Cao during this period.Although Cao Cao's army is not as large as the coalition forces of Gongsun Kang, Wuhuan people, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

But the top and bottom are united and the order is orderly.And the quality of the soldiers is much better than that of the three-party coalition.

At this moment, Cao Cao led an army of more than [-] troops, stationed in Youbeiping.

You Beiping used to be Gongsun Zan's territory, and Gongsun Zan took advantage of this Yan land with strong folk customs and raised troops to compete with Yuan Shao for supremacy.If it weren't for his own problems, his chances of unifying Hebei would be greater than Yuan Shao's.

At this moment, in the prefect's mansion in the city of You Beiping.

Cao Cao sat kneeling in the study, involuntarily recalling the past in his mind.The heroes of the past, although they are all enemies.But fighting against each other can be regarded as wonderful, but now these people are all dead.

Instead, Sun Quan, Kou Feng, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others emerged.Sun Quan was also defeated, only Kou Feng, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu waited.

Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu.

All of them are yellow flowers of the past.

In the big tent of Cao Jun's army, Cao Cao sat alone on the commander's seat, a little desolate.

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from the south." Suddenly, a small official broke in and said quickly.

He handed over the bamboo slips he was holding.

"Kou Feng again?" Cao Cao's face showed a solemn look, and he reached out to take it.Immediately, open it and have a look.

But his complexion changed from time to time, and in the end, Cao Cao showed admiration on his face.

If there is only one person Cao Cao admired before, there is only one person in the world, and that is Liu Bei.In the past, Liu Bei was killed several times, but the thief ran very fast.

In the end, he went to Jingzhou and was defeated by Kou Feng.

Even if Kou Feng led the army, Cao Cao didn't feel too much admiration.Because it was the right time, there were constant opportunities to be sent to Kou Feng's front, so Kou Feng has the power he has now.

Now, Cao Cao really admires Kou Feng.

Attack the gentry, and put it down in one battle.What courage, determination, and ruthlessness this is.

Who are the gentry?Cao Cao told you.

The gentry is a poison that makes people love and hate.Among the gentry, there are many talents.Because the gentry has many backgrounds, not only wealth, but also many advantages in many aspects.

The enlightenment of the tribe is also very early.

Although the poor family is rich and noble, fundamentally, it is a lot of inferior gentry.

Although Cao Cao himself has sealed many high-ranking officials from poor families, saying that he is a meritocracy.But those are just some top talents, ordinary characters, and they are not opponents of the gentry at all.

Therefore, most of the officials under Cao Cao's account are gentry.

This is all the result of Cao Cao's control, otherwise the official positions under the account must be controlled by the gentry.

After the gentry became officials, they mostly considered their own clan.There is loyalty, but at most it is [-]%.And it is easy to be ambitious.It is very dangerous to be an official toast under the account.

In addition, the gentry also has a very, very powerful attribute.

That is assimilation.

After becoming a high-ranking official from a poor family, after two or three generations, they became a noble family.Such as Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, etc., all came from grass roots.But Cao Cao believes that after two or three generations, their descendants will be the powerful for generations.

Therefore, the gentry is a group that the ruler loves and hates.

Because there are many talents, the role played by many talents in the process of fighting will be very huge.so love.

And the gentry has more people who think about the clan, putting the interests of the clan first.This makes the ruler hate it very much.

As a result, Cao Cao's relationship with the gentry sometimes became more acute.This is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao never dared to proclaim himself emperor.

Because although many gentry recognized Cao Cao's rule, they did not fully submit to Cao Cao.

And what about Kou Feng?He has courage.

To completely eradicate the gentry, I just do not rely on the gentry to rule the country.For this reason, he did not hesitate to let the land under his control fall into war.

Cao Cao really admires the decisiveness so far.

Because Kou Feng did all the things he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

"So far, there are no noble families in Jiangdong. Even if they survive, they will no longer pose a threat to Kou Chu's regime. After two or three generations, Kou Chu stabilized. The Kou family's prestige reached the height of the sky. Don’t be afraid of any gentry anymore. Once and for all, once and for all.”

The more Cao Cao said, the more he admired him, and his expression was joyful, but when he looked deeper, he became more jealous.

The reason for the great joy is precisely because Kou Feng eradicated the gentry whom he also hated very much.But fear is also Kou Feng's determination.The more decisive a person is, the easier it is to break big things.

Kou Feng eliminated the gentry so decisively and pacified Shanyue.Yangzhou is flat.Become an internal granary to support the world.

At this time, how could Cao Cao not be afraid?

"Continue to monitor the situation in the three states in the southeast, as well as the movement of Xu Shu and Huang Zhong's army." In the end, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips in his hand and ordered.

Since Chu Koufeng is a lifelong enemy, Cao Cao naturally wants to monitor his every move.In addition, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu led troops north to respond to Gongsun Kang's attack.

Although they are all qualitative and intangible, and the slogans are loud, they are all waving the flag.But Cao Cao also had to be on guard, they suddenly really joined the battle.

At that time, he will be in a state of desperation.

"No." The clerk promised, then turned and walked out immediately.

"At the moment, we still need to defeat Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and the people of Wuhuan." After the little official left, Cao Cao adjusted his mentality and refocused on the northern issue.

The Gongsun family has been in Liaodong for the second time, and it is very stable, which can be said to be the aspiration of the people.Even if the army is defeated, it can retreat to Liaodong.It is far away from the Central Plains, and it is impossible to attack.

Only Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi had a relatively short foothold in Shanggu. In addition, the Wuhuan people were also foreigners.Unpopular and easy to break.This time going north, Cao Cao's fundamental purpose is actually to defeat Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and the Wuhuan people, and completely wipe out the remaining forces of the Yuan family.

"Before Kou Feng doesn't respond, we must defeat the Wuhuan people, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi. Then immediately lead the troops south to resist Kou Feng." In Cao Cao's eyes, the light flashed away.

He knew that if he took his time, if Kou Feng got the news, there must be a sudden change.Only by means of thunder can the rebellion in Liaodong be put down by defeating Gongsun Kang and others.

Only when the north is pacified can we return to the army and compete with Kou Feng for supremacy.

Cao Cao knew very clearly in his heart that Kou Feng was the only great enemy in his life.

Yizhou, Jiangyang City.

Jiangyang City is just a very ordinary big city in Yizhou.Yizhou has always been very safe and peaceful. Although Liu Zhang is a little incompetent externally, his internal affairs are relatively loose, so the people are safe and peaceful.

Jiangyang City is also the same.

At this time, the prefect of Jiangyang City was surnamed Ma and named Feng.He was born in Dongzhou.The so-called Dongzhou scholars are the noble families among the tens of thousands of people in the former Sanfu.

Due to the war in the Central Plains, tens of thousands of people in the Sanfu area took refuge in Yizhou and expanded their Yizhou household registration.There is also a political force.

At that time, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, also considered the strength of Yizhou's native land, and the power of the gentry was huge.So Dongzhou soldiers were used to fight against local forces.

At that time, Liu Yan's methods were considered to be all-powerful, and he managed Yizhou as solid as gold.Even, Zhang Lu was secretly set up to become a bandit in order to sever ties with the imperial court.

And Liu Yan himself became king and hegemony in Yizhou, and established a support and vehicle that was like the emperor.Prestige is supreme.

It's a pity that in Liu Zhang's area, the power of Dongzhou scholars has declined, and the local power has shown signs of rising again.Some time ago, Liu Zhang had just quelled a rebellion by an indigenous tyrant.

Although calmed down, it was also turbulent.

Another foreign enemy, Zhang Lu, is a bandit.It can be said that there are internal and external troubles.

Ma Feng is known as a party among Dongzhou scholars, so he is naturally worried about it.If the local forces have fully restored their influence in Yizhou, wouldn't they, these foreign Dongzhou scholars, be exterminated?

Under such circumstances, Ma Feng should feel that he should recruit some talents to strengthen the power of Dongzhou scholars.

Recently, a person appeared outside Jiangyang City.When this person first came, he brought with him hundreds of pieces and several large ships.It is upstream from the Yangtze River.

When they first came, the people reported to the local county magistrate because they were afraid of bandits.Later, the county magistrate made a difference. While comforting the people, he also took the initiative to help the man settle down in Jiangyang area.

Since then, although this person lived in seclusion in the village with more than a hundred trilogy, and as a matchmaker, more than a hundred trilogy have settled down in Yizhou.

A large village was formed.

The county magistrate often visited him, so his reputation grew.There are many people rushing to visit.

Those who visited admired that man very much.

But if asked his name, he claimed to be Anonymous.

There is a taste of a lonely soul.

Recently, Ma Feng, the prefect of Jiangyang, often heard about the sageness of this anonymous man, so he decided to visit Qiu as an aide and deal with them Dongzhou scholars.

At this moment, in the prefect's mansion.Ma Feng went away from his official uniform and put on the service of an ordinary scholar.It seems very approachable.In addition, Ma Feng's appearance is not bad, and at this moment he also has a literati and refined atmosphere.

"Let's go to Fu Village to meet this unknown man." Ma Feng ordered.

"No." The guard responded, and immediately prepared the carriage, and drove Ma Feng eastward to the so-called Fu Village.

Volt.It means dormant.Plus Anonymous.

Ma Feng counted the time and thought that this person might be the adviser of a prince who was annexed by Kou Feng in Jingzhou.

At that time, there were many wars, and Kou Feng took advantage of the trend to annex Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and so on.It may be Liu Bei's advisers, but Zhou Yu, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin's advisers cannot be ruled out.

He was killed or captured because the general he followed was defeated.It is not impossible to go to Xishu to avoid disaster for fear of being implicated.

Good job, counsellor.

Those who can follow famous figures such as Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang are the best advisers.

Ma Feng's heart is full of joy for this visit to the virtuous.

If he has a great talent, his subordinates can help him govern the place.Zhong can advise him and save Dongzhou scholars.In the future, you can serve Liu Zhang and save Yizhou.

Really wonderful.
