Before the internal organization was completed, the contradiction between Jiaozhou and the central government was always secondary.

For Mr. Guo, who can distinguish the main and secondary contradictions, Jiaozhou can be completely resolved in the end.

So at that time, Guo Peng had no intention of involving Jiaozhou, but just asked Zhu Ling and Zhang Liao to continuously lead troops to explore new territory in the four counties of Jingnan and southern Yangzhou, and develop land in Jiangnan.

During this period, Guo Pengling received some information about Jiaozhou in scattered manner.

For example, Zhang Jin was in poor health, often fell ill, was ineffective, and often expressed his thoughts of passing on the status and power of the Jiaozhou governor to his son.

However, his prestige was not high enough, and he couldn't get along well with his generals. He often had conflicts and disputes. It was entirely up to the emperor, Guo Peng, who was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou, so his idea was difficult to achieve.

At the beginning, when Guo Peng had not yet gone south to invade Jingzhou and Liu Biao was not dead, Liu Biao had ambitions for Jiaozhou and wanted to occupy Jiaozhou, so he had a feud with Zhang Jin.

The two sides fought for two or three years, and Zhang Jin's strength and the war potential of Jiaozhou were far inferior to Liu Biao and Jingzhou who were armed with 100,000 yuan. Moreover, they were not very good at fighting, which brought great losses to the army and people of Jiaozhou.

Although Liu Biao failed, Zhang Jin was also resentful by his generals and local power corps.

This is of course, because Zhangjin’s war is depleting the power of the local power faction.

What is the level of development in Jiaozhou and what is the level of development in Jingzhou? You don’t know what it is?

Zhang Jin really didn't. Before the pressure from the Guo and Wei Empire poured into Jingzhou, Zhang Jin and Liu Biao's generals fought for years, with constant battles of all sizes and big battles, with more defeats and fewer victory. However, due to factors such as transportation, Liu Biao could never expand the results.

Later, when the Wei Empire was established, Liu Biao felt the pressure and had to turn north and never harassed Jiaozhou again. Until he died of illness, the Jingzhou regime was destroyed.

The Wei Empire controlled Jingzhou, and the powerful pressure hit Zhang Jin's face.

Zhang Jin compared the strength of both sides and felt a deep sense of crisis. So he took the initiative to surrender, which was to relieve the crisis in Jiaozhou, thus gaining a certain prestige and firmly taking the position of Jiaozhou Mu.

But this is not the end. Zhang Jin likes religion and literature. He gets along well with scribes on weekdays, but has a very poor relationship with the generals.

When he was in poor health and began to consider his funeral, he realized that a group of swaying scribes could not help his son secure his position as the governor of Jiaozhou.

First of all, Guo Peng's side may not make sense. It is hard to say whether the Wei central forces are willing to make Jiaozhou called "replacement of actual independence".

Moreover, Jiaozhou is not without people who are expected to be.

Jiaozhi Prefect Shi Xie is the one whom everyone hopes to be.

Shi Xie's ancestors were from Lu in Yuzhou and from the northerners. During the Xinmang Rebellion, he went south to Jiaozhou to seek survival.

After several generations of development, Shi Xie's father's generation became a famous tyrant in Jiaozhou, with a large amount of wealth, land and population. At that time, Shi Xie's father was the prefect of Rinan County.

By the time of Shixie's generation, the Shi family had reached a higher level. Under Zhang Jin's command, Shixie and his three brothers all held the position of prefect, and there were only seven counties in Jiaozhou.

It can be said that most of the people in Jiaozhou are in the hands of the Shi family.

Zhang Jin was full of a sense of crisis about this.

Because he wanted to pass on his status to his son, he was worried that after he died, Guo Peng gave up his son and appointed Shi Xie as the governor of Jiaozhou after he died. So he often felt worried about this and thought hard about solutions.

Later, he probably thought of some solutions, and since then he began to take the initiative to approach his generals. He often gave preferential treatment to some commanders and officials from local or foreign countries, and gave them some money, treasures, etc., which really won the favor of some generals.

These generals and officials began to move with Zhang Jin and win over each other. Zhang Jin also used his power to seek some benefits for them, thus gradually gathering a group of subordinates who were more loyal to him.

With these people who are not within the traditional sphere of influence of the scholar family as his basic foundation, Zhang Jin felt confident and brave, and felt that he was necessary and capable of starting to lay the foundation for his son's heir status.

Although Jiaozhou is wilderness, here, their father and son can be local emperors.

Although the Central Plains are prosperous, in the Central Plains, their father and son can only be a fish on the chopping board.

It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Zhang Jin chose the place where his family was rooted, but did not want to return north, so he kept moving. He also wrote to his friend in the capital, Xu Jing, Minister of Rites, and asked him to run and operate on his behalf so that his family could stay in Jiaozhou for a long time.

Zhang Jin's various behaviors attracted the attention and concern of local powerful scholars in Jiaozhou.

Zhang Jin was an airborne leader and the owner of power. The Shi family was a local snake entrenched in one place and an uncrowned king in Jiaozhou. There was a fundamental contradiction in the interests of both sides and it was impossible to reconcile them.

Not to mention that the scholars respect Zhang Jin on the surface and do not have any conflicts with Zhang Jin on the surface, but in fact it is definitely not that simple existence.

The prefects of the seven counties and four counties are all members of the Shi family. The Shi family is the real uncrowned king and its actual power is no less than that of Zhang Jin.

The scholar family was very worried when they learned that Zhang Jin had asked someone to run for him in the central government to help him fight for the rights of the hereditary governor of Jiaozhou.

They felt that Zhang Jin had now begun to devote himself to the localization of the Zhang family. If he was given more time, with the power of the Jiaozhou Guardian, the localization process of the Zhang family would inevitably be greatly accelerated.

At that time, the Shi family will definitely be thorns in the Zhang family's eyes, and they will be pulled quickly. Moreover, the Zhang family has the support of the central government, and the Shi family will not have any vitality unless they rebel.

And rebel...

Can you beat the Central Army of Wei?

The elites of the scholar family gathered together and expressed that they would never succeed in Zhang Jin's idea of ​​inheriting the status of the governor of Jiaozhou.

So they proposed to send people to Luoyang to find people to run around, and to promote the statement that Zhang Jin wanted to inherit the status of Jiaozhou's pastoral state to prepare for the separatist side, but actually wanted to rebel.

Shi Xie said that the Shi family must draw a clear line with Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin wants to inherit the governor of Jiaozhou, but they cannot do so. They must firmly support the Jiaozhou governor sent by the central government, and will never go to the forefront and will never infringe on the power of the central government.

The Shi family will always be a local tyrant and will never be able to win the supreme power of Jiaozhou.

Shi Xie could see through it clearly. The Wei Empire was temporarily unable to take care of Jiaozhou. All he wanted was to maintain stability in Jiaozhou, just like now.

Zhang Jin wanted to inherit the Jiaozhou Governor, which was too naive. He wanted to be a separatist, and Emperor Wei would definitely not agree.

If the Shi family expressed their firm support for the Jiaozhou Chief sent by the central government, it would be completely different from Zhang Jin, and the Shi family would seem to be very aware that righteous people and animals are harmless.

After all, the Shi family is a local snake. No matter who the chief sent is, as long as they are willing to live in harmony with the Shi family and protect the interests of the Shi family, the Shi family does not mind who will be the governor of Jiaozhou.

Moreover, Shi Xie never felt that the Shi family had the power to control the country in an era when the Wei Empire was dominating the world.

At that time, Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, was strong enough, had a high prestige, and was far stronger than the current Jiaozhou area. What was the result?

Has the South Vietnamese Kingdom still become Jiaozhou?

Therefore, the Shi family under Shi Xie did not want to be this open leader at all. He knew that he could not compete with the central government, so he just wanted to safeguard his existing interests with peace of mind.

This is something that Zhang Jin cannot do or accepts.

Zhang Jin was also sick and fainted. He didn't think about how talented and wise the Emperor Wei wiped out all directions and pacified the eight deserts. What he hated the most was separatist. And you, the governor of Jiaozhou, told him clearly - I want separatist, please agree.

Are your head broken?
