The last three kingdoms

Chapter 257 The Benefits of the Yizhou Department
Qiao Zhou sat quietly in the upper position, as if he could not hear the noise of the crowd, closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking completely out of sight.

In fact, the turmoil in his heart was turbulent. In the imperial court, Liu Yin disrupted the originally stable proposal to surrender Wei. What made Qiao Zhou even more depressed was that Jianning prefect Huo Yi suddenly It can be said that Huo Yi's arrival almost played a decisive role. Liu Chan finally decided to move the capital, which obviously had a lot to do with Huo Yi.

It's a failure!Qiao Zhou had already thought up all the countermeasures before the court meeting. He had expected that Zhang Shao, Liu Yin and others would try their best to oppose it, but after all the calculations, Huo Yi was still missing.

For Yizhou locals, Chengdu is their root. Here are their land and real estate, as well as their contacts. The soil on which it depends for survival, the Yizhou faction is bound to perish.

The world of the Han family was originally the world of the Shi family, but compared with the Shi family in the north and the Shi family in Jiangdong, the Shi family in Yizhou seems to have been living in the cracks. Leaders.Liu Yan entered Bashu with Yizhou herdsmen, and was the first outsider. In order to stabilize the situation in central Shu, Liu Yan reused the Dongzhou faction and suppressed Yizhou, causing the local Yizhou faction headed by Zhang Song to defect to Liu Bei's side. .

However, since Liu Bei entered Shu, the local faction in Yizhou did not get the status they longed for. On the contrary, the situation in Yizhou became more chaotic because of the influx of Yuancong faction and Jingxiang faction. He is indeed unique in controlling people. Although there are many factions in Yizhou, he can always find a certain balance point, maintain the strong structure of the early Shu Han, and ensure that Liu Bei has enough ability to take down Hanzhong and conquer Wu. country.

However, with the collapse of Liu Bei after the defeat of Yiling, the situation in Yizhou developed from four factions side by side to one dominant faction. The earth has no future.

After Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Jiang Wei (although Jiang Wei was not born in Jingxiang, but he was promoted and reused by Zhuge Liang, and he was also regarded as a member of the Jingxiang line), Chen Zhi , Fan Jian, Dong Jue, and Zhuge Zhan are all Jingxiang factions without exception, and the Yizhou native faction is basically marginalized in the power core of the Shu Han.

But no one can ignore the strength of the Yizhou family. After all, the Yizhou scholars have existed on this land for hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation, and have a rich heritage. At least [-]% of the land around Chengdu belongs to Yizhou. Hundreds of thousands of tenants of Yizhou scholars are attached to Yizhou scholars. Even when Zhuge Liang was in power, although he used the means of crowding out Yizhou scholars, he did not dare to kill them all. If they unite to resist, the status of Liu's dynasty will also be in jeopardy.

But moving the capital is tantamount to a devastating blow to Yizhou scholars. After leaving the land in central Shu, the soil on which Yizhou scholars depended for survival is gone. After arriving in Nanzhong, they will also become outsiders. The Yizhou faction, which does not have much political status, will surely sink completely after losing its geographical advantage.

As the leader of Yizhou's native faction, Qiao Zhou would naturally stand up and lobby for Liu Chan to surrender to Wei State by resisting the southward move.As for the consequences after surrendering to the Wei State, Qiao Zhou naturally didn't know how Sima Zhao would treat Liu Chan, but it didn't matter, what mattered was how to safeguard the interests of the scholars in Yizhou.

The world is based on the family of scholars, no matter whether it is Cao Wei or Shu Han, they can't escape this point. Even if they surrender to Wei, it is absolutely impossible to shake the status of Yizhou scholars, and it is even more affordable than Liu's sitting in the country. After all, the center of power of Cao Wei is in the Central Plains, and the land of Shu still needs the people of Shu to govern it.

However, the development of things was not what Qiao Zhou could have expected. Liu Chan's decision to move the capital undoubtedly squandered the plan that Qiao Zhou had thought hard and thought out, and pushed the entire Yizhou scholar family to the cusp of the storm.

Hearing what Li Hu said, Qiao Zhou slowly opened his eyes, his expression was a little tired and lonely, and he said slowly: "Since His Majesty has ordered to move south, you should pack up earlier and prepare to leave. Bar."

Everyone was stunned, Zhou Ju said: "Teacher, you must not, Chengdu is our foundation, abandoning Chengdu is like a rootless duckweed, ups and downs and destruction, all in the hands of others, sitting here, I don't know how many people can save it .I swear to the death that I cannot leave Chengdu!"

Qiao Zhou smiled wryly and said: "I have tried my best, but the Holy Majesty did not accept his loyal advice and ignored the life and death of the people in Sichuan. The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover."

Shangshu Xu Youdao: "Why should Duke Qiao underestimate himself? The matter has come to this point. If we Yizhou scholars don't stand up and resist, we can only sit and wait for death. There is a plan to ensure that Duke Qiao's strategy will be successful."

Qiao Zhou's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened, and he said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?"

A look of ruthlessness flashed across Xu You's eyes, and he said, "Tianzi Luanjia plans to leave the palace at noon tomorrow. We can ambush the dead outside the Xuanchong Gate and cooperate with the internal response of the Habayashi Guard to hold the emperor hostage. After capturing the emperor, The matter of moving the capital is no longer there. After you succeed, you can withdraw to Guanxian County, and your younger brother will be the magistrate of Guanxian County. There is no problem in establishing a foothold in Guanxian County. You can send envoys to contact Wei Dudu Zhonghui. , then the overall situation in central Shu will be at peace.”

It has to be said that Xu You's plan is bold and crazy. Holding the emperor hostage is a crime of treason.Some of the people here secretly gasped, and some showed horror, but most of them were still excited, obviously Xu You's plan was quite tempting.

Yin Zong said with some concern: "Liu Yin and Dong Jue have all the military power in the capital. What's more, the son of heaven, Luanjia, must be heavily guarded. How can he easily win it? If it happens, everyone here will be destroyed."

Xu You's eyes showed an aggressive coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Rather than sit and wait for death, it's better to stand up, on the contrary, sooner or later you will end up dead, why bother to die? All of you, are those two sons of Duke Qiao who raised countless dead men?" Qiaoxian and Qiaotong are both masters of Habayashi, as long as you are of the same mind, and the inside and the outside cooperate, why can't things go wrong?"

"Okay, the matter has come to this point, there is no way out, we might as well obey Xu Shangshu's words and fight desperately!" Some people supported Xu You.

Xu You said with a smile: "Xu's talent is shallow, how can he convince the public? In this matter, Mr. Qiao should be the leader. With Mr. Qiao's prestige, if you raise your arms, there must be countless people who respond. I don't know what Mr. Qiao thinks?"
