Jingzhou is indeed dangerous, but when he returned to the north, Zhuge Liang did not think so at that time.

Because for him, Jingzhou means a lot.

Zhuge Xuan paid for his life to open up the situation for him in Jingzhou, but Zhuge Jin asked him to go back, is this worthy of Zhuge Xuan's painstaking efforts?

Zhuge Liang didn't want to be sorry for Zhuge Xuan's hard work.

Moreover, the situation in the world has not changed, Guo Peng has generally unified Hebei and the Central Plains, but the situation is not clear, the war is still in chaos, and Jingzhou is still very safe.

The two brothers are scattered, which is not necessarily beneficial to the family inheritance.

But then, the situation in the world changed again, and it was still a catastrophe-

The Son of Heaven was killed, unfortunately died, the entire Hongnong turned into ashes, the Han family was crumbling, the emperor was lost, and the people of the world were confused and uneasy, not knowing where to go.

This sentiment also spread to the academic hall, where thousands of scholars and students were terrified, and some even cried and ran through the streets to the point of injuring themselves.

Zhuge Liang is also one of them, a member of the vast number of sentient beings who can only react passively in the face of the general trend of the world.

Subsequently, Guo Peng, the general of the chariot and cavalry, announced the western expedition to the land of Guanxi, exterminated the people of Liangzhou who caused the collapse of the imperial court of the Son of Heaven, and avenged the hatred of the Son of Heaven.

Although it was successful, the death of the Son of Heaven is a foregone conclusion, and the collapse of the imperial court is also a foregone conclusion.

To whom does the new emperor belong?

Which Liu clan member is it?

No one knows, and no one dares to say it, because of the de facto division of the world, it is almost impossible for this emperor to be recognized by the people of the world.

Without a Han emperor, can there still be a unified Han Empire?

In the academic center of the world, scholars and scholars from various states gathered, but no one could give a conclusion.

Because they all know in their hearts that they are not the ones who really need this qualification and power.

But in the north, the famous chariot general Guo Peng who was on an expedition to the east and west.

The Central Plains was basically pacified at an unimaginable speed, and scholars and scholars from various states who had not successfully taken root in Jingzhou felt that Jingzhou was no longer a good place to go.

They came to Jingzhou because the Central Plains was still very chaotic and in the midst of war, and in order to escape the war, avoid the bandits and the Yellow Turban thieves, they had to flee to Jingzhou for refuge.

This is the main reason, and the establishment of the academic hall is the secondary reason.

Now that the Central Plains is pacified, they are all very stable under the rule of Guo Peng, and the reputation of Yecheng School Palace has gradually risen, and the education team led by Cai Yong and Yuan Si, the only heir of the Runan Yuan family, is in charge of Yecheng School Palace, which looks quite promising.

As a result, there was a heated discussion in the academic hall about going north and returning to his hometown.

Probably hearing about this trend, Liu Biao also felt uneasy, and under the policy of the Trinity Joint Defense against Guo Peng, he sent troops north to attack Guo Peng's rear, trying to win a battle to boost his popularity.

It turned out to be a mess.

Not only him, Liu Zhang and Sun Ce were all defeated.

Everyone has never fought before, I don't know the real level comparison, looking at the three aspects united, the trinity, I feel hopeful, so that Guo Peng faces the enemy, and it doesn't seem to be in a good state.

As a result, as soon as the two sides fought, it was immediately clear who was strong and who was weak, and the defeat of the Trinity was like a mountain, and the four sides of the enemy showed their strong nature.

In this era, or in any era, no matter how good-looking it is on the surface, the real rule is that the strong are respected.

A strong soldier represents strength and legitimacy in itself.

Liu Biao can't keep people's hearts.

There are constantly people who say goodbye to their studies and choose to return to the north, wanting to return to their hometown and return to their roots.

Subsequently, Guo Peng announced to the world as the Duke of Wei and the monarch of Wei that he would hold a ceremony in Yecheng.

Regardless of age, origin, place of origin and past achievements, to select outstanding talents for the Wei State, he only looks at the talent, organizes everyone to compete for talents, and the selected outstanding talents can directly enter his shogunate, work for the Wei State, and become officials of the Wei State.

When the news reached Jingzhou, the nine counties of Jingxiang were shaken.

It was the time of the all-round rout of the Trinity.

Although it was not yet time for Guo Peng to conquer Hanzhong and threaten Jingzhou in an all-round way, people saw through the decline of the three major princes in Jiangnan and Guo Peng's absolute strength, and knew that the destiny of heaven was in Guo.

After the division of the Eight Kingdoms, everyone who knew the past of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period predicted that the troubled times of the Warring States Period were coming, and the situation of the unification of the Han family no longer existed.

After the Hongnong court was destroyed by fire, it was even more so, at that time, some people already realized that the world would belong to Wei, and no longer to Han.

Hongnong was destroyed by a military disaster and was destroyed by a fire, which is a clear proof.

At that time, the rumors were spreading that the Han Dynasty was going to die, and there would be calamity, but as a result, the Hongnong fire came out, the Son of Heaven was killed, and the central court was destroyed, which confirmed this rumor, and the rumor suddenly became a rumor.

Well, the market is there, and there is no need to say anything.

Now, who else will doubt this?

The scholars who were already dissatisfied with the Han family had some expectations in their hearts, while those who still had feelings for the Han family were depressed and wanted to die, feeling that everything was hopeless.

The exiles in Jingzhou's northern land collectively realized that Wei was about to replace Han and become the orthodox of the world, so if they didn't return north as soon as possible, and didn't seize this last opportunity to go to Yecheng to join the Guo Wei political group, when would they wait?

Many people who understood had such thoughts, so a large number of capable people in the academic hall returned to the north, and hurried to Yecheng, the capital of Wei, to participate in the ceremony.

Meng Jiangongwei, a classmate who had a friendly relationship with Zhuge Liang, was from Runan, and another friend, Shi Tao Guangyuan, was from Yingchuan.

Cui Junzhouping, a Boling man who admired Zhuge Liang and was even earlier, chose to return north after the news of the death of the Son of Heaven came, and advanced to Jizhou through Runan, intending to serve Guo Peng and mix with Wei officials.

After that, Shi Tao said that he moved his fellow villager Xu Shu Yuanzhi to leave Jingzhou Academic Hall together and go to Yecheng to participate in the talent ceremony.

After that, Xu Shu came to Zhuge Liang.

"Recently, many friends in the academic hall have chosen to return to their hometowns in the north, and there is no plan to continue the long-term plan in Jingzhou, Kong Ming's family is in Xuzhou, and now Xuzhou is pacified, won't Kong Ming go back to see?"

Xu Shu smiled.

"Has Yuan Zhi decided to return to his hometown?"

Zhuge Liang poured a glass of water and wine for Xu Shu.

"Yes, Guangyuan called me to go back to my hometown together, after returning to my hometown, I will go to Yecheng again, Duke Wei will hold a ceremony in Yecheng, and outstanding scholars can enter Duke Wei's shogunate and do things for Duke Wei, Duke Wei is a hero in the world, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to do things under Duke Wei."

Xu Shu took a sip of water.

Zhuge Liang also smiled.

"Duke Wei is powerful, he is the first prince in the world, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Heli are not Wei Gong's opponents, seeing that Wei Gong is about to go south to sweep away the chaos, the general trend of the world is in Wei, and the people in the academic hall are all saying so, at this time, going north, isn't it the best time? Yuan Zhi, am I right? ”

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Kong Ming, your mouth is really not merciful to us at all, no wonder Guangyuan and Gongwei are reluctant to talk to you, you will peel off our high-sounding crown cleanly as soon as you open your mouth, why bother? The general trend of the world is just around the corner, who can't see it? ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but Zhuge Liang didn't smile.

"We're friends, that's why I said that, when did you see me say that to others?"

"Well, because you don't talk to other people, you don't want to make friends with you."

Xu Shu glanced at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang blinked his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Shu couldn't help laughing.
