After a long time, the civil and military retreated.

Looking at everyone leaving, Xu Shu frowned and clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Jingzhou has just settled down, although your intentions are echoed by the Huang family and the Ma family, but except for the Pang family, the other four families must have a whisper!" ”

Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "You mean that the major families headed by the Kuai family are only temporary?" ”

Xu Shu nodded and said anxiously: "Lord, meritocracy is good, but this is tantamount to moving the foundation of several major families, although they are superficially agreeable, they are absolutely dissatisfied behind their backs." ”

"If the lord wants to promote his own people, he can just install them directly, so they won't say anything, but if the lord is a meritocracy, the influence of those major families will inevitably be affected."

"In this way, they will never watch the lord do this, and it will be difficult for Jingzhou to be stable at that time, how can they enter the Central Plains and dominate the world?"

The corners of Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, he had thought about it, but it seemed that he still underestimated the influence of the family! Although he occupies Jingzhou, he really can't do whatever he wants.

"Grandma's, my brain hurts." Zhang Xiu spat out a turbid breath, feeling quite helpless in his heart, these people can't be cut, otherwise he will be intolerable to the world, so how can he talk about entering the world.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lord, it is not impossible to raise talents, the lord can use Nanyang as a trial place, Nanyang has been in war for a long time, and there is not one in the family." ”

"If the lord takes Nanyang as a trial place, it is not easy for the families to oppose it if they want to come to Xiangyang, not to mention that the lord is making concessions, they will naturally not gain an inch."

"Only Nanyang as a trial site?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"Well, if the lord wants to weaken the Jingxiang family, he should use Nanyang as a trial to absorb talents. When talented people grow up, they can be spread all over Jingxiang and slowly draw them. ”

Xu Shu clenched his fists, and his eyebrows were right.

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, Nanyang can be said to be his foundation, and it is the richest place in Jingzhou.

However, this cycle may be a little longer.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this, this matter will be handed over to you and Zhouping, you two can be regarded as living in Jingxiang for a long time, and you have some connections." Zhang Xiu raised his hand.

"By the way, Yuan Zhi, I heard that you have a lot of friends in Jingxiang, but one of them is named Zhuge Kongming, is there such a person?"

"Oh~? Does the Lord know Kong Ming? ”

Xu Shu was quite surprised, after all, Kong Ming had not been in Jingzhou for a long time, and few people knew his name, how did his father-in-law know?

"Compared to Guan Zhong and Le Yi's talents, how can I not know!" Zhang Xiu smiled heartily, and then said: "Another day, you will inform Kong Ming, and after Jingnan is pacified, I will pay a visit." ”

"Is the lord trying to recruit him?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, then clenched his fists and said with a wry smile: "Lord, Kong Ming is a talented person, rare in my life, and he is humble compared to Zhong Leyi." ”

"However, he has a withdrawn personality, and often talks about world affairs with Shuxiao, but he is reluctant to go out of the mountain, saying that today, there is no one who can help him, and I am afraid that it is not easy for the lord to recruit this person."

Zhang Xiu chuckled lightly and didn't bother.

However, listening to Xu Shu's tone, the current Zhuge Liang is already good, you must know that he is only eighteen this year, and he is not yet old enough to be a weak crown, and he is really a genius in the world.

Either way, he had to take this man.

…………

Kuaijia, the main hall.

There are several people gathered in the hall, all of whom are from the Jingxiangwang clan.

However, those few people were not good, and Yang Xi slapped the table and shouted: "Hmph, what does Zhang Xiu mean by what he said in the house today?" He clearly wanted to weaken us. ”

"Hmph, even if Liu Biao enters Jingxiang, he doesn't dare to do this, he is only a martial artist, and he wants to move our foundation, it's really whimsical." Xi Zhen also snorted coldly.

"The two of you are a little restless, no matter how Zhang Xiu says, he was born in the border of Xiliang, and it is common to not know. If you want to come to the shogunate and join the army, you will be discouraged. ”

"However, Liu Biao's death this time has an impact on us. Liu Biao has no soldiers to enter Jingxiang, but he can be at the mercy of us, but Zhang Xiu has countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and it is not good for anyone to really make a stalemate. ”

Kuai Liang took a sip of tea and said softly.

"Hmph, I don't believe it, can he dare to kill me?" Yang Xi shot the case and shouted angrily.

"Hehe, Master Yang thinks that your Yang family is better than Luoyang, how about the Chang'an family?" Kuai Liang sneered.

"The two are at the feet of the Son of Heaven and the holy land of the family, and my Yang family is naturally incomparable." Yang Xi turned his head and said angrily.

"Then do you know how much blood of those families in Luoyang and Chang'an has been stained on Zhang Xiu's hands?" Kuai Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly.

"Huh!" After listening to Kuai Liang's words, Yang Xi's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and his heart instantly beat a drum. It seems that yes, Zhang Xiu is a martial artist, and he will not play the piano to the cow?

If he was angry and slaughtered his own family in one fell swoop, who would he go to reason? You must know that those clans in Chang'an and Luoyang also thought that the generals of Xiliang would not dare to kill them.

It turns out that even the Yuan family was cut down.

"I don't know what Brother Zirou has to say?" Yang Xi's voice was weak, and he was a little weak.

"Zhang Xiuzhi is in the world, so naturally he will not be an enemy of us. What's more, from the ministers of the dragon, the interests of which should be clearer than me. Kuai Liang said with a sneer.

"What does Brother Zirou mean, Zhang Xiu is expected to win the Central Plains?" Xi Zhen frowned and said hurriedly.

"It's not impossible. In just one year, this person has repeatedly defeated Cao Cao, and he has swallowed Jingxiang, and there must be a place for this person in the world. As for whether it can win the Central Plains, I dare not assert. ”

"But the one who is most likely to win the Central Plains is not something we can tie up, right?" Kuai Liang chuckled at himself.

It's as if he is talking about Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has millions of elite soldiers and strong generals, and the family that can rely on him is not a famous family from all over Jizhou, like their Jingzhou Seven Clans in front of those people.

Not at all.

Yang Xi and Xi Zhen glanced at each other, and then said, "What does Brother Zirou want?" ”

"Hehe, don't be stupid, you don't want to be stupid, how to do it from the dragon minister still needs me to teach? After going back this time, he restrained the clansmen and prepared to properly delegate power to Zhang Xiu. ”

"Don't let the Huang family and the Ma family compete for the lead."

Kuai Liang is quite worried, the Ma family has been squeezed out, and the Huang family has not asked about political affairs in recent years, and now they are all transferred back to Xiangyang, which is not a good thing for them.

…………

Gangneung South, Gong'an City.

At this time, the public security was already full of gunsmoke, and the flames of war were raging, looking at the broken city gate of the public security, Zhang Xian immediately raised his head and laughed, his expression full of pride.

It seems that the public security has finally been broken under the onslaught of Zhang Xian's army for many days.

Zhang Xiankuo walked into the city, happy, after the public security captured, Jiangling was a wide open door, and it was difficult to defend it, and after he captured Jiangling, Zhang Xiu should be dumbfounded.

When the time comes, he can embroider one by one, and then destroy Liu Biao, swallow the seven counties of Jingxiang, and become the world's hegemon. Thinking of this, Zhang Xian's heart was happier and more comfortable.

He had already thought of Zhang Xiu's hateful but helpless expression, fighting with him, Zhang Xiu was obviously a little tender, he really thought that Zhang Xiu wanted to use his own hand to destroy Liu Biao's heart, he didn't know?

And at this moment, the scribe under his command came in a hurry, his face was full of anxiety, and he didn't have time to make a move, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, woe, woe!" ”
