Chapter Twenty-Nine: Finally Return to Yangzhou
The nine counties of Jingxiang, rich in things and people, have outstanding people, and have given birth to countless famous people.
Jingzhou, as the richest of the four southern states, has a favorable geographical location.
It is connected to Yongzhou in the north, Jiaozhou in the south, Yizhou in the west, and Yangzhou in the east.
It can be said that it is a battleground for soldiers, connecting the world.
Historically, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, married the daughter of the Cai family, one of the four major local families in Jingzhou, and handed over the political affairs to the Kuai family, and handed over the military power to the Huang family and the Cai family. In addition, his reputation as one of the eight handsome people in Shilin firmly sat in the position of the lord of Jingzhou.
The same is true of success, and the same is true of failure.
Liu Biao found the right way and easily entered Jingzhou, but because of this, his control over Jingzhou was very insufficient.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with being so wrong, the three checked and balanced each other, and Liu Biao weighed it from it, and managed the entire Jingzhou perfectly.
Liu Biao is also a talent, and he actually made such a perfect layout.
It's no wonder that this is a troubled time, and it is perfect to do so when the times are peaceful.
But in the troubled times, the disadvantages caused by the lack of control are exposed.
Liu Biao completely lost the opportunity to dominate the world, and at most he could only protect himself.
Every time you send troops, you have to consider the ideas of the Cai family and the Huang family, otherwise if one of the two families does not agree, it will be difficult for Liu Biao to send troops.
But these families are masters who attach great importance to their own interests, and do not scatter eagles if they don't see rabbits.
Without more than eighty percent certainty or a battle that has no interest in the family, these families are unwilling to participate.
In this way, under the control of all parties, Liu Biao's power has never increased much, and at most he has followed the other princes to fall into the well or pick up cheap.
So, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too easy to obtain.
If Yuan Shu wants to achieve immortal hegemony, he must be down-to-earth step by step and go through all kinds of tribulations.
Taking shortcuts will lead to corresponding pitfalls or hidden drawbacks.
Of course, at this time, Dong Zhuo had not yet entered Beijing, and Liu Biao had not yet been appointed as the pastor of Jingzhou.
The current ruler of Jingzhou is the assassin Wang Rong, who was killed by Sun Jian in history when he passed by Dong Qian.
Of course, with Sun Jian's status at that time, he should not dare to do this, and it should be Yuan Shu's instigation behind it.
Yuan Shu's territory at that time was in Yuzhou, which happened to be adjacent to Jingzhou. It is estimated that he saw that the troubled times were coming, and wanted to occupy Jingzhou by the way.
But Dong Zhuo is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he saw through Yuan Shu's careful thinking, and took advantage of Yuan Shu's meeting alliance in the Tiger Prison Pass, and directly stuffed Liu Biao with the speed of thunder.
Liu Biao lived up to Dong Zhuo's hopes and took over Jingzhou directly and quickly, threatening Yuan Shu's territory by the way.
Yuan Shu saw that Dong Zhuo had nothing to take advantage of after moving west, and Liu Biao was eyeing his own territory again, and was instantly shaken, and then withdrew from the alliance to fight against Dong.
And Liu Biao waved Sun Jian, who wanted to go back to Jiangdong.
I have to say that Dong Zhuo's hand is really powerful, and he used an unenterprising Liu Biao to contain Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and others, and suddenly the major princes in the south fought endlessly, and they were unable to look north.
And there were many contradictions among the Kwantung princes.
If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's fall, he would have settled down and developed for a few years, and it would not have been known that he would dominate the world just like Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms back then.
After all, the Guanzhong area is fertile for thousands of miles, and the terrain is superior, as long as you hold Hangu Pass, it can be said that you can sit back and relax, and you can attack and retreat.
This time, Yuan Shu came to Jingzhou, mainly to inspect the terrain, and by the way, as before, to borrow a few talents.
Things like Huang Zhong and Wei Yan haven't made a career yet, and it's really a waste to put them in the hands of this unlucky guy like Wang Rong.
There are also Huang Chengyan and Zhang Zhongjing, who Yuan Shu is very interested in.
One of the two is a descendant of the Mo family, a top craftsman; One is a descendant of a medical family, a medical saint in history.
As a modern person, Yuan Shu is very aware of the importance of these two professions.
Not to mention anything else, Guo Jia next to him still needs Zhang Zhongjing, the holy hand of internal medicine, to save his life!
But then again, this Zhang Zhongjing is really powerful, not only is he one of the three divine doctors of the medical saint and Jian'an, but also serves as the position of Changsha Taishou.
After Yuan Shu came here, he didn't say much, and directly expressed his intention to Wang Rong.
Unlike Jizhou, although Jingzhou is a large state in the south, its status is far inferior to the former.
And Wang Rong is also not as high as Han Fu's status, seeing that Yuan Shu has a request, he naturally sent Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who were still captains and hundred generals, over without saying a word.
As the head of a branch of the Huang family in Jingzhou, he naturally couldn't follow Yuan Shu at will, and Yuan Shu's persuasion had no effect.
In comparison, Zhang Zhongjing is much easier to solve.
The doctor is benevolent, Zhang Zhongjing is not a person who loves to be an official, but because he is a lot of guards and can help and treat more people, Zhang Zhongjing is a doctor while being an official.
After hearing that Yuan Shu told the system of the hospital in the future, and then gave some speculations such as bacterial infection, this thing followed Yuan Shu like Dian Wei.
Yuan Shu originally wanted not to take Jingzhou directly, but thinking about the complicated situation in Jingzhou and the powerful family, he still let go of this idea.
Their own Yangzhou has not yet been picked up, and the four major families in Jiangdong are still waiting to solve it themselves.
You can't be a big fat man in one bite, anyway, neither Wang Rong nor Liu Biao is a hero, so let's put Jingzhou first, and then eat this piece of thorny meat after cleaning up Yangzhou first.
After more than two months, full of harvest, Yuan Shu finally returned to Yangzhou.
Yangzhou, also known as Jiangdong, has a total of six counties and 92 counties.
The foundation of the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.
Most of the civil and military forces in Eastern Wu came from here, and they can be called outstanding people.
Driving on the Yangtze River, Yuan Shu suddenly thought that he had missed three important naval talents, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai Jiang Qin are still here as water thieves.
It's a pity that these people don't accept them, and without saying a word, they notify the Yuan family to contact these two people, indicating their willingness to take them under their command as generals.
Within three days, these three goods came to Yuan Shu with their water thieves.
Looking at the civil and military affairs that followed him, Yuan Shu felt that it was really good to be a son of a family!
Casually attract such a luxurious lineup.
The text includes Guo Jia, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and Xun You.
Wu Youdian, Wei, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Ju Yi, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, plus Sun Jian.
There are also Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, two little ghosts who are about to grow up.
Yuan Shu really felt that there was a feeling that the world was big and unbeatable.
It is not modest to say that with the current lineup, Yuan Shu has the confidence to fight with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at his peak.
I have to say that the signboard of the fourth world and the third prince is really good, and the family is really powerful.
Yuan Shu casually circled the map and gained so many top talents, plus the hundreds of basic scribes who followed, Yuan Shu's ruling foundation was initially established.
