Chapter 270 Who is the Lord of Jizhou
~.< >-~ Fang Zhiwen's meeting with the Yuan family is an inevitable matter. It's just a matter of time. He made an appointment with Xu You to meet in Yangxin, Leling, Jizhou. The reason why he chose Yangxin was because Zhao Yun's troops were nearby. Fang Zhiwen was very afraid of the Yuan family's power. What's more, there are many Jizhou tribes behind the Yuan family. If they are accidentally beaten and ambushed by the Yuan family, it would be embarrassing.
After making an appointment for the general time and place of the meeting, Fang Zhiwen began to ask Xu You about his views on the situation in Jizhou. However, Xu You was very strict and always shifted the topic to Youzhou and Lelang. He also mentioned the matter of Qingzhou from time to time. The implication was that the power of the Qingzhou clan was dispersed and could be easily destroyed by external forces.
According to Xu You's meaning, it seems that he is recommending Fang Zhiwen to guide Qingzhou with all his strength, instead of focusing on Jizhou. It seems that Xu You still doesn't believe Fang Zhiwen's statement. This question is like asking a wolf if he wants to eat sheep. The wolf says that he only eats the sheep he raises, and no one believes it.
In fact, this issue is a problem of the overall situation. The Yuan family's overall situation is to destroy the power structure of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, re-dividing and even taking power by themselves, so they pursue the peak unification of power, while Fang Zhiwen believes that in this game world, it should only exist and continue better in the midst of war.
One pursues harmony and the other pursues division, which is completely contrary to the way. With such an opposite view, Fang Zhiwen's idea is naturally difficult to understand by Yuan. Similarly, Xu You, who represents Yuan's view, could not understand it. In his opinion, Fang Zhiwen is now tying up the momentum of a great victory in the grassland. If there is no restriction, these branches and vines will spread throughout the world sooner or later, and even form a momentum of swallowing the world.
Xu You left with great effort because Fang Zhiwen stared at Xu You and asked about the Yuan family’s layout in Jizhou. Xu You couldn’t say it, so it would be better to escape naturally.
"Ji Gui, what do you think of this muddy water in Jizhou?"
Cui Yan gently stroked the beard that was not long on his chin and said carefully: "Sir, Jizhou has always been a prosperous place in Hebei. There are many aristocratic races in the population. If we look at the distribution of power, it should be the south and the north and the west and the east. The aristocratic races in Jizhou were divided into several interest groups, the aristocratic system led by the Han family in the southwest, the large aristocratic system led by the Zhang family in the southeast, and the aristocratic system dominated by the small aristocratic races in the northwest. This Yuan family gradually stood firm in Jizhou from Leling and Bohai. To a certain extent, the development of Leling and the Bohai Sea has a lot to do with the Yuan family."
Fang Zhiwen leaned forward with interest and asked, "Oh, then there are at least four relatively large groups of power in Jizhou."
Cui Yan shook his head: "This is the past, but in the past two years, the court's confrontation has become increasingly fierce, and the royal power has faded. The situation in Jizhou is actually inseparable from the situation in the court. Therefore, the forces in Jizhou are likely to have undergone re-split and reorganization, mainly the Yuan family of Bohai, Zhang family of Qinghe, and Han family of Yecheng. Because the Zhang family has been unhappy in the court in recent years, they are mostly maintained by in-laws. There are signs of division, which is already a sign of declining weather. Therefore, the overall situation in Jizhou should be dominated by Han family and Yuan family. In addition, the large and small aristocratic families who were originally loyal to the royal family gradually disappeared, which is very strange."
Fang Zhiwen pondered for a while and spoke, "Has Ji Gui ever heard about Taiping Road?"
Cui Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I heard that Taiping Dao was created by the Zhang brothers of Julu. He used the ignorance of refugees to practice medicine with Fushui, called himself a great wise and good teacher, a great doctor, and practiced peace. He took Taiping Qingting Dao as a holy scripture, promoted friendship, equality and mutual assistance, and had a lot of believers among the poor people. Why did the adults talk about this?"
Fang Zhiwen hesitated and said, "If there are hundreds of thousands of believers in this Taiping Road, what do Ji Gui think?"
Cui Yan was shocked, but Cui Yan's qi cultivation skills were good and he did not show any panic, but the expression on his face was extremely serious. Obviously, this news scared him.
The reason why Fang Zhiwen's words were not blocked by the system is that this situation is completely true and is calculated by relying on the Zhen family's intelligence network to conduct a certain investigation. At the beginning, Zhen Jiang felt that his husband was making a big deal and investigating what this preaching sect is doing.
Who knew that when the data was summarized, Zhen Jiang was shocked by this fact after a rough calculation. Once hundreds of thousands of believers started to attack, they were unimaginable, because Zhen Jiang was not the eldest lady who never left the door. She had a very clear understanding of the current bureaucratic situation of the great man.
If the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty was healthy, then these hundreds of thousands of believers were just a mess. However, now the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty has been completely corrupt. Most local officials are from selling official positions and titles. Being an official is just to make money. This is a fact that the entire Han people know. This bureaucratic system is not enough to respond. Any spark ignited, which may lead to a great collapse of the entire system.
Cui Yan's knowledge and intelligence are naturally not worse than Zhen Jiang. Cui Yan can naturally come up with the conclusion that Zhen Jiang can draw, and even determine the meaning contained in this message faster.
Moreover, Cui Yan thought more, so his face looked so ugly. No matter what, as a great man, he still had feelings for the royal family. The idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism has penetrated into the hearts of scholars. Although he was angry that he did not fight, no one was willing to watch the great man collapse like this.
In a realistic sense, the collapse of a unified regime represents the arrival of a chaotic world. The so-called "better to be a peaceful dog rather than a chaotic person" is definitely a world that is so scary that you can tremble when you hear it. Only players living in a peaceful society will clamor for war or something. In fact, the real chaotic world is coming, and it is probably all depressed, and Cui Yan feels depressed now.
Learn civil and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family.
Now that the imperial family is gone, what is the use of this kind of civil and military skills? Is it really that easy to choose a wise master and open up the world? One mistake can lead to the destruction of the nine clans!
Fang Zhiwen looked at the change of Cui Yan's face and truly realized the severe and heavy choices that these people, literati and warriors, vested interests, etc., faced with the severe and heavy choices that these people, literati and warriors, and vested interests, have reached an unbearable level. In the face of the repeated major changes in the world, who can calmly stand it?
Fang Zhiwen does not believe that such people exist, so at this moment, Fang Zhiwen seems to have truly integrated into this great era, such a great era full of choices, disasters, opportunities, and blood and sadness!
At this moment, Fang Zhiwen suddenly understood why in this great era, there were so many great figures and great wisdom emerging from the land of China, leaving behind many heroic immortal legends. Because this is an era of struggle for survival, everyone has tried their best to burst out their own 120% ability, squeezed out their last little strength, struggled desperately, climbed upwards desperately, fought each other hard and killed each other, collided with dazzling sparks, leaving behind a sound that resounded throughout the world. The weak will be ruthlessly eliminated here, and the strong will rule the world. This is a world that only recognizes strength, and this is the essence of the battle of survival!
The thoughtful Cui Yan was suddenly awakened by an invisible storm, as if a hurricane was sweeping by. Cui Yan felt extremely cold on his body, and there seemed to be a thousand kilograms of rock in his heart. No, it seemed that the whole world had been pressed down. The world in his eyes slowly dimmed. A strong smell of blood came from his nose. He seemed to have arrived at a battlefield where corpses were flowing blood all over the field. Desolate, sad, distant and majestic, as if infected by that tragic atmosphere. Cui Yan slowly straightened his waist, and his timidity in his chest dissipated and his heroic spirit suddenly became. Suddenly, he had the urge to roar to the sky. The world repeatedly, lifting a three-foot sword to make a fortune! A real man should do this!
Suddenly his mind shook, and the scene in front of him reappeared. It was still the tea room of the teahouse. Fang Zhiwen on the opposite side sat upright as usual, with a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were clear and deep, as if he had seen through all things in the world and the hearts of the world. Cui Yan suddenly felt in his heart that perhaps the person in front of him should be a wise master who deserves his life. A three-foot sword will not make a contribution to the world! When choosing someone to serve, maybe he can no longer escape and deceive himself. He should really consider it.
"Since you can know this, I'm afraid there are many people who know about it, right? But why is no one exposed this?"
Fang Zhiwen shook his head lightly and sighed, "I'm afraid it's already a big deal, not to mention that there may not be no support from Taiping Road. Otherwise, how can we achieve the current level? It might have been just a chess game for the world's heavy holdings in Jizhou. Who knew that the chess pieces became bigger and bigger and the tail was not lost, and the other outsiders may not have the idea of raising enemies to respect themselves. The ultimate loss should be the native tribes in Jizhou."
"Sir, the Taiping Road is supported by the royal family. It was originally a killer trained by the royal family in an attempt to destroy the mixed aristocratic tribes in Jizhou. Who knew that the killer had lost control and became bigger and bigger. The royal family was afraid of affecting the overall situation and was restricted. The local aristocratic tribes in Jizhou were not enough to fight against the Taiping Road with the royal support. Therefore, they introduced the Yuan family, an external force, but the Yuan family in turn raised the enemy and gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, and even had the trend of being famous in Jizhou. Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Cui Yan slapped, not knowing whether he was appreciating Fang Zhiwen's vision or the wonderful struggle between these forces in Jizhou.
"Perhaps there are more inside stories here, such as the decline of Zhang's family, are there any Yuan's hands and feet, just like the Zhen family was forced to leave? And why did the royal power disappear quickly? Is it intentional or forced? If the royal family intends to withdraw its power from Jizhou and throw the mess in Jizhou to the group of foreign relatives and gentry represented by the Yuan family, then where did the royal family throw out the power? Is it re-arranged around Jizhou, intending to trigger the Jizhou chaos, completely disrupt Jizhou and then do the great rule? Or do you find another place to make the worst preparations?"
Fang Zhiwen talked casually, and Cui Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that sending Cui Lin to Miyun was a masterpiece. With such a lord, Cui Miyun would definitely shine with dazzling light.
