Regarding Cui Zhen's advice, Cui Ru, Cui Dan and Cui Tao pondered for a while, and finally agreed.

After thinking about it, Cui Ru said: "Zhen'er, although we are determined to shift the focus of the family to Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang, for the sake of the family's interests, we can't help but make other preparations. Cui Zhen, you and Lao Qi and Lao Ba took Cui Dao, Cui Tong and other family children to Youzhou to serve Yuan Chang; Cui Lian and I stayed in Anping County to protect the ancestral foundation, Lian'er's second son Cui Tong also led a thousand family private soldiers to serve under Yuan Shao; Cui Shou and his second son Cui Mao led a thousand family private soldiers to serve under Cao Cao in Yanzhou. ”

As long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this is an immutable truth.

Cui Lian and Cui Shou are Cui Zhen's competitors, even though Cui Zhen has been the head of the family for many years and has stabilized his position, Cui Lian and Cui Shou still have not given up competing for the position of head of the family. Of course, the methods they used were all upright, and they were all under everyone's noses, at least the Cui family didn't find out that they were stumbling. However, Cui Zhen has established absolute prestige in the Cui family, and most of the descendants in the family are close to Cui Zhen, Cui Lian and Cui Shou want to get Cui Zhen down, and it is naturally extremely difficult to climb to the throne of the head of the family.

And Cui Lian is Cui Ru's grandson, and Cui Shou is the grandson of the late fourth. For the sake of the family's interests, Cui Ru naturally can't let his grandson Hu Lai. If you have just joined a force, you must assist with all your heart, so that you can obtain the greatest benefits in the future, and any unstable factors must be strangled in the cradle. Although Cui Lian and Cui Shou's current methods are still bright, there is nothing out of the moth. However, if it is under Yuan Chang's command, any improper behavior may bring the disaster of extinction to the family. Therefore, he left Cui Lian in Anping County to serve under Yuan Shao. Cui Shou asked him to serve under Cao Cao, while Cui Zhen took the children of the family who were close to him to Youzhou to serve Yuan Chang.

At this point, the Cui family of Anping County has also made a decision.

And in a house in Guangping County, Jizhou, there is also a fierce debate. Speaking of which. This Guangping County can be regarded as full of disasters and difficulties, just like this volatile world.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, several counties in the south of Julu County were placed in Guangping County. In the second year of Zhenghe, Liu Yan was named the king of Pinggan, and Guangping County was placed in Pinggan. In the second year of Emperor Xuan's five phoenixes, Pinggan was divided into Guangping County. Emperor Cheng Yuan extended for four years, and Guangping County led sixteen counties: Guangping County, Zhang County, Chaoping County, Nanhe County, Lieren County, Zhuzhang County, Ren County, Quzhou County, Nanqu County, Quliang Houguo, Guangxiang Houguo, Pingli Houguo, Pingxiang Houguo, Balcony Houguo, Guangnian County, and Chengxiang Houguo. Emperor Mourning Jianping for three years, named Liu Han as the king of Guangping, and restored the country of Guangping. In the first two years of Emperor Ping, there were more than 27,000 households in Guangping. It has a population of nearly 200,000. Wang Mang was removed from the country and renamed Fuchang. In the thirteenth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangping County, the province was merged into Julu County. Emperor Yongping of the Han Ming Dynasty for three years, the prince Liu Xian was named the king of Guangping, and Julu County was divided into Guangping Kingdom. In the first seven years of Emperor Zhang's establishment, Liu Xian, the king of Guangping, was the king of Xiping, and Guangping was removed. It was incorporated into Julu County again.

From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, it was only more than 160 years before and after. But it has undergone seven changes, which is faster than the changes in the world. Of course, today's Guangping County is only a high-class county in Julu County, and it has long been out of line with the county. However, in this Quang Binh County, there is now a world-famous family living here.

This family is famous all over the world. There is the "Xun's Eight Dragons" known as the Yingchuan Xun family.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and the Guanzhong area was full of war. Xun Yu had the foresight to know that if the family did not transfer, it would inevitably be implicated in the war, so it was. Yingchuan Xun decided to leave his homeland and accepted Han Fu's invitation to go to Jizhou. Who knows, before he arrived in Jizhou, he heard that Jizhou had changed hands and fell into the hands of Yuan Shao. The Xun family, who were not very optimistic about Yuan Shao, were also in a dilemma at the moment.

The Yingchuan Xun clan's family business has been dealt with, and they are worried about the cause of the war, so it is naturally impossible for them to return to Yingchuan. Moreover, there are still a lot of families left in Yingchuan, if they turn back, they will definitely provoke their ridicule, and the Xun family is also a family that wants to lose face, so naturally they will not lose this person. However, the world is so big, where is the place where their Xun family settles?

Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are located on the border, and there are foreign invasions from time to time, and these three states are certainly not suitable places; Dong Zhuo in Sili and Yuzhou will only think about going back when he is brainless; Yanzhou has the remnants of the Yellow Turban to make trouble, and the big families like them are most "valued" by the Yellow Turbans, and once they appear in Yanzhou, they must have no return, and they will pass directly; Xuzhou, Jingzhou is a rich place, and Xuzhou Tao Qian is old and weak, and he is incompetent, and the Xun family will not vote. There are many families in Jingzhou, and now Liu Biaogang took over Jingzhou not long ago, and the Jingzhou family has always been xenophobic, and the Xun family used to be a famous family in the world, and the family in Jingzhou is just a family in a state, and the Xun family will naturally not be angry, and Jingzhou will be excluded. As for Eastern Wu, it has not yet experienced the development of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and it is still synonymous with poverty, and it is also not considered. So after careful calculation, in the end, there are Jizhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou left for their Xun family to choose.

Then, of course, you can only choose one of the three options, and you have to continue to exclude.

Let's talk about who the masters of these three states are, then it will be easier to speak. Jizhou Yuan Shao, this can be introduced without introduction, such as thunder, the rest are Yangzhou Liu Yan and Yizhou Liu Yan.

Yizhou Liu Yan may not be very famous, but his son Liu Zhang is at least very famous. Of course, this reputation is not positive, but negative. To describe Liu Zhang in one sentence, that is to lure the wolf into the room. led Liu Bei to Yizhou, and in the end, not only did he lose his territory, but even his daughter-in-law was robbed by Liu Bei.

Let's talk about Liu Yan, Liu Yan's reputation in the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still quite good, when Liu Yan's teacher Zhu Gong died, and Liu Yan, as a disciple, was not obliged to mourn the teacher. However, Liu Yan resigned from his official position and mourned his teacher, which shows his virtue.

Later, Liu Yan witnessed the chaos of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the decline of the royal family, so he suggested to the imperial court: "Assassin Shi and Taishou bribe officials, exploit the people, and cause the people to rebel and leave." Those honest and honest officials of the DPRK and Central China should be selected to serve as local governors of prefectures and counties, so as to maintain stability in the world. He himself asked to serve as the pastor of Jiaozhou, intending to escape the chaos of the world.

So. Is Liu Yan really so selfless and dedicated to the sake of the court?

What kind of place is Jiaozhou, everyone knows that thieves are rampant, remote and wild places, Liu Yan is a Han clansman. Will he be willing to go to such a remote place as Jiaozhou to become an official? Jiaozhou is far away from the imperial court, and it has been with the imperial court for thousands of miles, and it is difficult for the imperial court to take care of it at all, and there are ethnic minorities in Jiaozhi who are in turmoil all year round. Therefore, Jiaozhi, which was originally only a county, was elevated to the status of a state, and the imperial court sent Thorn Shi and Taishou to suppress it. And if Liu Yan served as the pastor of Jiaozhou, with Liu Yan's reputation and ability, he would make Jiaozhou his own private territory, and it would not be difficult to divide one side. For example, the later Jiaozhou assassin Shi Xie, several generations of Jiaozhou were divided. It was not until the late Three Kingdoms period that it was destroyed by Eastern Wu.

In this way, Liu Yan's purpose of separating one side is also clearly revealed. Moreover, in real terms, the Eastern Han Dynasty went into decline, and Liu Yan can be said to be "indispensable".

Why?

This is to investigate the state pastoral system proposed by Liu Yan, and the original imperial court only had the post of assassin and taishou. Thorn Shi is in charge of power, Taishou is in charge of military power, and the two sides do not interfere with each other. but they rule over each other. However, because of the history of assassination at that time, Taishou hooked up and became an adulterer. They are so interconnected that the local people are struggling to make a living. In this case, there is no problem with Liu Yan proposing the system of state pastoralism. However, it was precisely because of the state pastor system proposed by Liu Yan that Dong Zhuo, who was originally just a Taishou, sent some money to the eunuch at that time, and became a state pastor. Afterward. The general He Jin fought with the eunuchs, and He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's invitation to the local princes to enter Beijing to kill the eunuchs. Under the routines of Liu Yan and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo had the opportunity to enter Beijing and cause trouble to the imperial court. Then it can be said that Dong Zhuo has the opportunity to troublesome the imperial court, and the fundamental reason is that Liu Yan proposed this state pastoral system.

In fact. When Liu Yan proposed this state pastoral system, he never thought of being an emperor, but just wanted to divide one side and become a soil emperor. It wasn't until later that Shi Jianjian, the assassin of Yizhou, gathered in Yizhou for major events, and greed became the norm. Liu Yan, who originally wanted to lead Jiaozhou to avoid trouble, because he heard Dong Fu in the service say that Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, so he asked the court to be the pastor of Yizhou.

So Liu Yan was the envoy of the prison army and the pastor of Yizhou, and he was named the Marquis of Yangcheng, and ordered him to go to Yizhou to arrest Xi Jian and rectify the rule of officials. Because the road was impassable, Liu Yan was temporarily stationed in the eastern boundary of Jingzhou. At this time, Yin Jian had been killed by the Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang, but Ma Xiang, who had just been proclaimed emperor, was defeated by the army of Yizhou Jia Long. Jia Long then welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou, and the place of governance was set in Mianzhu. After Liu Yan took office, he appointed Jia Long as a lieutenant and moved him to live in Mianzhu. Liu Yan pacified and sheltered the fleeing rebels, and tried his best to implement a policy of tolerance and favor, but he had other plans in his heart.

Later, Liu Yan made a thousand cars, you know, this is the standard for the Son of Heaven's travel, Liu Yan tinkered with such a thing, doesn't it mean that he Liu Yan wants to be the emperor?

So, speaking of which, the question arises.

Yingchuan Xun's loyalty to the imperial court can be seen from Xun Yu and Xun You, in order to stop Cao Cao's ambition to be the emperor, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew both lost their lives. In this way, Liu Yan, who has the ambition to be called the emperor, is not a force that the Xun clan can serve. As a result, Liu Yan was naturally eliminated by the Xun family.

In this way, there are only two places left to go in Jizhou and Yangzhou.

Runan Yuan and Yingchuan Xun are both big families with the same name, and the Xun family is naturally unwilling to be subordinate, and Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, is also a relative of the Han family, and it seems that there is no shame in giving Liu Xuan a hand. If nothing else, the Xun family will go to Yangzhou Liu Miao to avoid trouble. However, before the Xun clan could make a decision, Yuan Shao's envoy appeared in front of the Xun clan, and in the end, the Xun clan changed his mind and went to Jizhou to avoid disaster according to the original plan.

However, after Yuan Shao conspired to seize Jizhou, he found out that Han Fu had invited the Yingchuan Xun clan to Jizhou as a guest. At that time, Yuan Shao was frozen.

Yuan Shao's best reputation is well known to everyone, and the Yingchuan Xun clan can be said to be famous all over the world, so if such a family wants to come to Jizhou, how can Yuan Shao not do his best to make arrangements? Therefore, Yuan Shao sent three messengers to contact the Xun clan on the road, and his words were extremely sincere, and he expressed his willingness to get along with the Xun clan amicably, and did not put on a posture of the Runan Yuan clan bullying the Yingchuan Xun clan who was in trouble. In fact, even if Yuan Shao wanted to lead the Yingchuan Xun clan with the posture of the Runan Yuan clan, he couldn't do it.

After all, Yuan Shao is a concubine, although he is a descendant of the Yuan family, his status is humble after all. And more of the children of the Runan Yuan clan still follow Yuan Shu's gang, so that Yuan Shao can't hit the signboard of the Runan Yuan clan if he wants to, Yuan Shao dares to do this, Yuan Shu will definitely jump out and slap Yuan Shao's face. In addition, Yuan Shao is ambitious, not ambitious. Just like Cao Cao in the early stage, when his strength and status have not yet reached a certain level, he naturally can't have a different mind. Therefore, for Yingchuan Xun to be able to help him, Yuan Shao of course welcomed it from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was so sincere, and he didn't treat the Yingchuan Xun clan as a current person, but talked in the same tone, everyone in the Xun family naturally felt that Yuan Shao was not so annoying, and it seemed to be a good choice to fight the world with Yuan Shao. In addition, Xun Chen at that time also served under Yuan Shao, and he had already walked most of the way, and he was about to reach Jizhou, and they didn't want to change their route to Yangzhou, so they continued to go to Jizhou to avoid trouble.

After arriving in Jizhou, the Yingchuan Xun clan settled in Guangping County, Xun Chen returned to the Xun family as the head of the family, and resigned from his position under Yuan Shao, while Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew took over and gave Yuan Shao a hand. As a result, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew worked for Yuan Shao for a period of time, and found that Yuan Shao was really not a master.

Previously, the Xun family's views on Yuan Shao were still heard from others, and they were not necessarily correct. Just like Guo Jia in history, when he went to serve Cao Cao, the two talked freely, and Guo Jia then said, "I will finally see the Ming Lord"; After all, Sima Hui and Xu Shu said how Zhuge Liang broke the cow, but it was just the statement of the two of them, Liu Bei had great ambitions and did not see it with his own eyes. Therefore, I have to meet Zhuge Liang in person. After some talking, Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang was indeed talented, and used his performance as a crying emperor to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain.

Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew found out that Yuan Shao was not the master, so they naturally had a different mind and wanted to find another master to serve. However, the Xun family settled in Guangping County, and their lives were already on track, so they naturally did not want to work hard, so they continued to live in Guangping County, while Xun Yu and Xun You defected to Cao Cao, who was famous in Yanzhou.

And the Xun family is now going to have another debate, but it is because of Yuan Chang's reform. (To be continued.) )
