Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2048 People from Jingzhou use their own means

  The man from Jingzhou is Liu Pan.

  Liu Pan was dispatched urgently by Liao Hua.

Liao Hua of Wuguan, since serving as the general of Wuguan, has been focusing on defense and arranging the refugees. After cross-examination, he learned that Liu Biao had come to look for Huqi, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent someone to report.

  When Feiqian returned to the General's Mansion and saw Liu Pan again, some memories flooded his heart.

  When he left Jingzhou, officially stepped onto the stage of history, and started wrestling with big men and other guys, Liu Pan was undoubtedly the first little boss Feiqian met in the early stage, experience pack.

  Experience package, uh, Liu Pan's beard is disheveled, his armor is crooked, and his clothes are disheveled. Fei Qian didn't see the domineering look of the past from his bowed figure, but only saw the panic and tension in his expression that could not be concealed.

  In history, where did Liu Pan go after the downfall of Liu Biao?

   Fei Qian thought for a while, but couldn't remember. Generally speaking, Liu Pan is like a hozen on the tree of Liu Biao. When the tree falls, it naturally loses its living space...

  Seeing Liu Pan, Fei Qian couldn't help but think of Liu Biao.

   For Liu Biao, in fact, from a certain perspective, Fei Qian doesn’t really dislike Liu Biao. It’s a great success, the credit is taken by oneself, and the subordinates are blamed. This kind of method is not only Liu Biao alone. Many people in later generations have played better, more concealed, and worse than Liu Biao.

   But there is no doubt that Liu Biao's ability did not match his own ambitions, and even in some respects, Liu Biao did not even have some methods of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Among the emperors of the Han Dynasty, facing power, there were not a few who pretended to be crazy and foolish, and secretly planned a final comeback. Although Liu Biao did well before Jingzhou, but now it seems that he still has not jumped out of the old pattern and walked out of a new world. It's overturned...

"At that time, a certain student also studied under Lushan, and he was as close as a family with Liu Jingzhou..." Fei Qian greeted Liu Pan to sit down, and said with a smile, with a kind of kindness, "Although Xiaowei Liu belongs to Jingzhou , you don’t have to see someone else…”

The four words "as close as a family" are not exaggerated by Fei Qian. After all, from the perspective of the gentry marriage, Fei Qian and Liu Biao are also somewhat similar to the "seven aunts and eight aunts". of.

  Liu Pan’s eyes lit up, and he even claimed that he was, even when he saw Fei Qian back then, he felt that Fei Qian was the best among people, destined to be extraordinary or something, rainbow farts don’t need money tossing around...

   Fei Qian raised his head and smiled, as if he was very happy because of Liu Pan's flattery.

  Seeing this, Liu Pan proclaimed how much the gentry children of Jingzhou admired Feiqian, said how great Feiqian was in his north-south campaign, how admirable he was, etc...

   The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

  After praising Fei Qian wildly for a while, Liu Pan suddenly became lonely and lamented, "It's a pity, it's a pity, if the Hussars were riding in Jingzhou, the Cao thief would not be so rampant..."

  Fei Qian naturally asked about the current situation in Jingzhou.

Liu Pan quickly introduced the situation in Jingzhou in detail, and said: "Now the Cao army is advancing to Xiangyang, but the gentry in Jingzhou, except Cai's defection, are afraid of their troops and have to perfunctory. Wuguan must be on the left side of the road, and eat pots of pulp to welcome..."

   Feiqian smiled, I haven't seen him in the past few years, Liu Pan seems to have made some progress in knowledge, but he seemed a little moved and asked Liu Pan: "How many generals does Cao Jun have now?" 』

  Liu Pan was overjoyed, and replied: "The Cao thief claimed to have a hundred thousand people, but in fact he didn't get half of them, and he had to divide the cities. Under Xiangyang, there were only a thousand..."

   Fei Qian asked again: "What is the combat strength of Cao's army?" 』

   Liu Pan took a look at Fei Qian and said, "Although he is a little brave, he will definitely not be able to stop the thunder of the hussars..."

  When Liu Pan said this, he knelt down on the ground again, patted his chest and said, "If the hussars want to enter Jingzhou, the foreign ministers are willing to be the pioneers!" It doesn't take a month to defeat Cao thief! 』

   Feiqian laughed loudly, then restrained his smile, "When did you say you wanted to enter Jingzhou?" 』

   Liu Pan was taken aback for a moment, then kowtowed on the wooden floor, "Please also watch Huqi..."

  『Get up and talk! ’ Fei Qian interrupted Liu Pan’s words in a deep voice.

   Liu Pan was stunned, and then fell limply on the ground like a deflated water bag.

  This...this is completely different from what Liu Pan expected...

   Fei Qian’s smile remained the same, but the atmosphere had changed. "Liu Xiaowei, who do you think is XX?" In a few words, do you want to deceive someone to send troops? 』

  Liu Pan trembled and kowtowed endlessly.

  『How is Jingzhou? ’ Fei Qian asked in a low voice, ‘I’m not honest enough to invite you! 』

  Liu Pan kowtowed again and again, and then told the actual situation one by one...

  Fei Qian finished listening, nodded slightly, and then waved. "Someone knows, go down and rest first..."

  Liu Pan was still about to say something, but the guards on the side had already stepped forward, set up Liu Pan and left. Liu Pan struggled for a while, but soon gave up and left dejectedly.

  『Ridiculous...』 Fei Qian squeezed his beard, 『People from Jingzhou think that someone is arrogant and ignorant...』

   This strategic arrangement is of course at the behest of Liu Biao, but similarly, it may also be some people's suggestions for Liu Biao...

   It's just that this strategy, from the very beginning, went in the wrong direction.

   Or behind this strategy, it can be said that it is full of malice.

Since the Northern Expedition to Bingzhou, Feiqian has basically won battles and conquered. Now he controls half of the Han Dynasty, and has the tyrannical Bingliang cavalry in his hands. He has newly won the Xijing Shangshutai. It can be decided with one word, such power will naturally make people who don't know Fei Qian very well think that Fei Qian is somewhat insane...

   After all, Fei Qian is also qualified to be crazy, isn't he?

  At the same time, isn't it the same for those who were in the same room before?

Pang Tong came out from behind the screen, sat down on one side, shook his head and sighed: "I never thought about it..." Pang Tong was somewhat emotional. When he was in Jingzhou, the Jingzhou people were always the second child and the third child. The situation, so many years later, did not expect that there is still not much change.

  Nanyang County, Emperor Township, the pride of a big man, in the eyes of these people, aren’t people in other places all little red men? Shouldn't you be obedient and obedient?

   Fei Qian squeezed the beard on his chin, and said: "Someone suddenly thought of something..."

  Pang Tong looked over.

  『Back then...Yuan Gonglu corrupted the Emperor Township...』 Fei Qian frowned, sorting out his thoughts, "Was it intentional? 』

"what? ha? Pang Tong opened his eyes wide, "Yuan Gonglu did it on purpose? 』

   Fei Qian nodded.

Although many people in later generations said that Yuan Shu was trying to die, so that Fei Qian thought so at the beginning. Of course, Yuan Shu was really trying to die, but now in retrospect, Fei Qian felt that there might be some of Fei Qian's original intentions. Some things he has overlooked.

  『What is the explanation for this statement? 』Pang Tong couldn't understand.

   Fei Qian said slowly: ""Scholar" too! 』

"scholar? ’ Pang Tong repeated.

   Fei Qian nodded.

  Of course, strictly speaking, the term "gentry family" should be a little later. After all, some people think that the word "gentry family" can only be called after the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng system.

  But historical events are not isolated, nor can they be metaphysical.

  The Jiupin Zhongzheng system was actually implemented in some places before it was formally established in history. For example, after Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou, he asked Han Song to rate and recruit Jingzhou scholars. The difference between this and the later Jiupin Zhongzheng System is that there is no institutionalization.

  In fact, Chen Qun was not the first to create the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in the Han Dynasty, and Chen Qun was not the only one who proposed similar concepts such as grades.

  The real significance of this system is to turn the folk deliberations that began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty into a national system. In other words, under Yuedan Ping and other methods, the talents, learning, conduct, and status of scholars in the world are determined by those influential celebrities, not the court. Over time, the authority of the imperial power and the central government was naturally diverted.

  Because of the evaluation of super celebrities, scholars can have fame and status, and official positions are a matter of course, so everyone has gone to the circle of scholars and bureaucrats, and handed over to celebrities. What do these people do all day long? It is certainly not as the original emperor hoped to pay attention to the economy and the people's livelihood, patrolling hunting on behalf of the sky, and guarding the people.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty, including some people think that the emperor Han Ling was relatively stupid, actually realized this problem very early. We can only make concessions to the scholar-bureaucrats. After all, the Yellow Turban Army, the power from the bottom, is the most terrifying to the emperor, but in the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, the power of the scholar-bureaucrats has justifiably been further strengthened.

  So, it is not accurate to say that noble clans and aristocratic families came into being only after the appearance of the Nine Ranks Zhongzheng System, because this itself was one of the root causes of the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty!

  The aristocratic families in these places, under such circumstances, originally had a strong resistance to centralization. This is also a problem that Fei Qian must face.

   It is also a problem faced by Cao, Liu and Sun in history.

   Then, the first person to encounter this problem was obviously not Cao Liusun, but Yuan Shu who first mastered Nanyang!

   Is he the father of the Three Kingdoms after all...

   Then what did Yuan Shu do?

The scale of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at that time probably shocked the gentry families everywhere, so these noble and arrogant literati on weekdays were also terrified behind their backs. Familiar with and good at, so in order to survive in troubled times, they need to find a military leader to help them maintain order. After all, although these guys have extraordinary economic and political power, and have some potential for development in the military, but in troubled times, facing thieves everywhere, they will also feel insecure.

  These aristocratic families need an agent who can stabilize order.

  At this time, the difference between the two Yuan brothers and Cao Cao is reflected. It was also in troubled times to form an alliance and hold a group to keep warm. For a long time, Cao Cao only got one Yanzhou Mu. The appeal of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao is much greater than that of Cao Cao, because the family of the Yuan family is the top family of scholar-bureaucrats in the Han Dynasty.

   Compared with the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao also has its own advantages. That is the composition of the Cao Cao Group, there are poor families and wealthy families, and there are also famous families. This structure, on the one hand, allows Cao Cao to take advantage of the influence of scholar-bureaucrats, such as Xun, Chen, Zhong, etc. of the Yingchuan Celebrity Group to continuously expand their basic base; Group left and right, you can even try to keep beating and taming them. Although Cao Cao was once collectively abandoned by Yanzhou gentry, he survived in the end, which strengthened the cohesion between Cao Cao and Yingchuan gentry.

   The first to be eliminated was Yuan Shu.

So the question that Fei Qian raises now is whether Yuan Shu passively drifted with the tide, and was abandoned by the gentry group because of his death, or the fact that Yuan Shu’s death was not the key, but the key was that Yuan Shu and the gentry disagreed in the process. Was it abandoned because of the intensification of conflicts?

  Pang Tong frowned and pinched his fat chin. He didn't know if it hurt, or he felt a little horrified by what Fei Qian said, so he took a breath.

  Fei Qian tapped his finger on the table lightly, "Yellow Turban Rebellion...these people are also afraid...so they will definitely find someone to maintain the place... the same is true for the Yuan brothers, the same for Cao Mengde, and the same for Liu Jingsheng..."

   Fei Qian smiled, "It's Guanzhong Sansuke, isn't it so?" 』

  Pang Tong was silent, because of this, Fei Qian was telling the truth.

  Like these natives who still stay in Jingzhou...

Now Liu Biao is forced by the situation, under the attack from the north and the south, and has to cooperate with Fei Qian, or is it under the intentional or unintentional promotion of the Jingzhou gentry, which seems to be Liu Biao's trick to attack Cao Cao, but is actually The gentry in Jingzhou are going to abandon Liu Biao and find another way out?

   What was placed in front of Fei Qian was a stick.

   This stick was brought by Liu Pan. It originally belonged to Liu Biao and Jingzhou Mu. To a certain extent, the festival represents authority, so it actually means that Fei Qian can use this one to go to Jingzhou to do something, and this kind of behavior may be what the natives of Jingzhou are hoping for. .

  『This is the strategy of using tigers to drive wolves away...』 Pang Tong rubbed his chin, obviously a little dissatisfied, "Such people treat us like tigers and wolves..."

  In what Liu Pan said, some are true and some are false, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, these gentry in Jingzhou look down on both Cao Cao and Fei Qian.

  Don't listen to Liu Pan's words about "drinking pot pulp", the specific situation should be analyzed in detail.

  The military groups of Cao Cao and Fei Qian both have a strong color of being poor. Of course, Cao Cao still has the air of an eunuch, which is naturally more "stinky" than these self-proclaimed nobles.

   And what about Feiqian?

   Maybe better than Cao Cao, but it’s just the difference between "Tiger" and "Wolf"...

  Compared with Fei Qian and Cao Cao, which one is Liu Biao?

   Liu Biao was the prefect of Jingzhou appointed at that time when Dong Zhuo was under the control. This point is somewhat similar to Fei Qian. Fei Zhonglang back then also came from Dong Zhuo's time.

The reason why the bosses in Jingzhou were willing to accept Liu Biao was mainly because Yuan Shu next to him was too strong. Many nobles who opposed Yuan Shu were cut off. It would inevitably make the gang in Jingzhou feel that Yuan Shu was not safe. If Yuan Shu controlled him Jingzhou, the independence and related interests of the local snakes in Jingzhou will definitely be greatly threatened. And Liu Biao is an airborne cadre who became the governor of Jingzhou and had no choice but to speak for the interests of Jingzhou.

   Now, Liu Biao, the spokesperson, is obviously not qualified.

  『Therefore, if Liu Jingsheng wants to control Jingzhou, the Cai family will definitely fight... 』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『From Cai’s point of view, Liu Jingsheng is just a manager of the manor, and now he wants to seek the property of the master, how can he just sit idly by? 』

   Spokesperson...

  In the minds of these guys, Liu Biao is the spokesperson of Jingzhou, and more broadly, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and even himself, are they not the spokespersons of these guys?

   Fei Qian sneered.

  Fei Qian can roughly guess what Liu Biao thinks without asking Pang Tong specifically. If he could compete against Cao Cao at the beginning, Liu Pan would not appear here. Liu Pan came with a battle, which means that Liu Biao has reached the final critical moment, which is a step to survive.

   That’s right, survival from death.

Because Liu Biao is not sure whether Fei Qian will send troops, and it is best to send troops in time. If he can't send troops, or if he can't send troops in time, then after all, the eldest son Liu Qi is here with Fei Qian. If Liu Biao can't protect Liu Cong, then To some extent, Liu Qi, his own flesh and blood, left a little chance to turn things around...

   This festival is actually reserved for Liu Qi.

   And behind Liu Biao's plan, there are the natives of Jingzhou standing.

Cao Cao's high debt situation is not only known by Fei Qian, but also the natives of Jingzhou who live next door to Cao Cao, and many people must be aware of it. If Jingzhou falls into Cao Cao's hands, Jingzhou's wealth will inevitably appear. Cao Cao will **** a lot of blood...

   This is naturally a situation that the natives of Jingzhou do not want to see.

  That's why Liu Pan said that the Cai family is a traitor, and from a certain point of view, it is true.

  In comparison, the option of Feiqian is much better. Because Feiqian's base is in Guanzhong, and Jingzhou is far away, no matter it is arranged strategically or based on the actual situation, it is impossible for Feiqian to invest too much attention and troops in Jingzhou. The self-government of Jingzhou people is more in line with the interests of all parties.

  『Shiyuan...』 Fei Qian turned his head and asked, 『Did Mr. Pang De move to Wancheng? 』

  Pang Tong nodded and said: "I have already moved... My lord's intention is..." Seeing the approach of the war, some Pang and Huang clans who were close to Feiqian had already moved to Wancheng to avoid the war.

   Fei Qian chuckled, "So, let's use some tricks..."
