Full of hope and yearning for wealth, Gan Ning led his naval army to set off. What he didn't expect was that the benefits of this trip to him were not only those promised by Yuan Shu, but also many surprises.

Although he found a way to make money, he didn't see any cash, and Yuan Shu really didn't dare to continue to build Jingzhou extravagantly now.

Everything is going well in Yangzhou now, so Yuan Shu only left Tian Feng, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to maintain the status quo, and Lu Su and Gu Yong were both thrown out by Yuan Shu and accompanied Fu Zhu to manage Jingzhou.

"Lord, what should Zhang Xiu of the Zhang family do?"

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Yuan Shu smiled slightly: "That old fox of the Zhang family is a human spirit, and his son is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”

As soon as Guo Jia heard Yuan Shu's tone, he understood his thoughts: "This son is indeed extraordinary, this time Wen Yuan was able to easily take down Jiangxia thanks to this person's help." He could not set up an ambush on Huang Zu's back road in advance, making it impossible for Huang Zu to escape after the defeat, and was finally killed by Wen Yuan. Moreover, this person also arranged everything early in Jiangxia County, so that Hansheng could march so easily and take Jingzhou. ”

"This time the lord was able to take Jingzhou, and this son's merit is not small."

Yuan Shu nodded, Yuan Shu had been collecting Zhang Xun's letter at the beginning, and now it was time to fulfill his promise.

"Wenyuan was transferred to Nanyang to garrison, and Yuzhang County will be handed over to this son."

After taking Jingzhou, Yuzhang doesn't need to waste a general like Zhang Liao to garrison, and it doesn't hurt to hand it over to Zhang Xun. Anyway, there are only a handful of people left in the current Zhang family, and if they want to restore the status of the four great families in Jiangdong at the beginning, it will take at least a few more decades, and they will not be able to sell any big moves in Yuzhang.

"After all, the Zhang family has made great contributions twice, and I, Yuan Shu, will definitely not treat him badly. Fengxiao, in the future, without violating the principles, support the Zhang family more! ”

Guo Jia nodded, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, this is the minimum quality of a master.

This incident of the Zhang family can not only show that Yuan Shu's rewards and punishments are clear, but also give the family a signal of closeness.

Even after the Zhang family, who had rebelled and had a lot of bad deeds, reformed themselves, Yuan Shu was able to support him regardless of his previous suspicions. Then in the future, those families who are also shit and have a very bad reputation will not be determined to do right with Yuan Shu, who is willing to work hard if they can have a way back!

Yuan Shu is still very tolerant of the family that does not touch his bottom line, after all, they are the essence of this era, and if they kill a group of people, they will not be able to fill this vacancy within a few years.

Just like taking control of Jingzhou this time, Yuan Shu's methods are very gentle. Except for killing a Huang Zu who was pushed out by the Jingzhou family, the other families didn't move at all.

These families in Jingzhou know each other, and Yuan Shu naturally won't be ignorant. After all, the foundation of his rule still depends on these families. Isn't it just some fiefdom and money outside? Just let it be for them.

As long as these families cooperate with Yuan Shu, no longer think about land and exploitation, and keep up with Yuan Shu's path, Yuan Shu naturally doesn't mind sharing some benefits with them.

"By the way, has there been a reply from Shixie in Jiaozhou?"

Guo Jia said unhappily: "Shi Xie naturally agreed, but the brothers below him couldn't see the situation clearly, and they wanted to die and struggle. ”

Yuan Shu sneered: "A group of fools, don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" I'm afraid that old thing Shixie is also a little cautious, otherwise he will not be able to control the group of fools below? ”

"Shi Xie is just a fluke, thinking that we only value Jiaozhou's strategic position, and as long as he is obedient, he can still be his local overlord. So he did this just to test the attitude of the lord. ”

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Jiaozhou is bound to win, and it must be completely controlled!" Let Tai Shici and Ju Yi go to Jiaozhou to hang around, except for the local bandits. Then send someone to give Shi Xie an ultimatum, either the whole family will roll to Jinling, or they will die with the sign of Jiaozhou Assassination. ”

Guo Jia nodded, these are harmless little things, as a strong man, he and others don't have to consider the feelings of Shixie, a turtle. Even if Yuan Shu said that he would go directly to destroy Shixie, Guo Jia would not say anything, and there would not be much difficulty and loss anyway, so it would be regarded as training.

"Lord, Jingzhou has been taken, what should Liu Biao do?"

Referring to this Liu clan relative, Yuan Shu also felt a little headache, this person can't be killed, he can't be neglected, but he has to be guarded against.

"Raise him first, and send him back to the court when the situation stabilizes in a few years."

Yuan Shu planned to wait until Cao Cao welcomed back the Son of Heaven and threw the goods over with Liu Yan's family.

It's better to throw these troubles to Cao Cao, and let them follow Liu Xie's little ghost to make trouble for Cao Cao, which can be regarded as their own help.

"By the way, Fengxiao, how did those two old monsters in Jingzhou react?"

Guo Jia sighed: "Sima Hui and Pang Degong didn't react to the lord taking Jingzhou, and they still taught at Lumen Academy as usual. However, some of the students they teach are very interested in the master, and with a little recruitment, they can be used by the master. ”

These old things, one by one, like to sit and watch the turmoil in the world, and they don't know how to take the initiative to do their part for the world.

Yuan Shu was very angry in his heart, he had a bright and bright Ming Lord signboard hanging here, and this group of goods could still hold his breath!

Although Yuan Shu was very unhappy with these two people, he really couldn't do anything about them: "Since this is the case, let's try our best to recruit the outstanding students among them!" And remember to be careful not to let them go to other princes! By the way, is there anything in it that you can look at? ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "There are dozens of talents in one county, and Jiang Wan, Meng Jian, Cui Jun and Shi Tao are all talents in one state. ”

Hearing these familiar names, Yuan Shu's eyes also lit up: "Oh? Are they like-minded? ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "These four people all took refuge in Jingzhou because of the chaos in the world, and they studied under Lumen Academy, and it is estimated that they will not be out of office in a few years." ”

Yuan Shu sighed: "Then forget it, the future will be long, and it will be good to let these talents grow for a while." But Fengxiao, you must be careful about Lumen Academy, and you must not let these people leave Jingzhou. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Shu was still a little uneasy, and continued: "In addition, you must always send people to pay attention to the movements in the academy, and if there is any big talent, you must pay attention to it, and it is better to kill by mistake than let it go." ”

Guo Jia saw Yuan Shu's murderous appearance, although he was a little puzzled, he still nodded.

After Guo Jia left, Yuan Shu sat quietly in his place, and for a long time, he whispered: "Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, don't you want to escape from my palm!" ”

What Lumen Academy represents, Yuan Shu is very clear, Liu Bei was able to make a fortune in the second half of his life because of the help of this academy.

If it weren't for Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang who came out of this academy, Liu Bei would have been killed by Cao Cao in Xinye, so would there be the later Shu Kingdom?

For these strategists who are enough to change the situation in the world, Yuan Shu is concerned about them with a twelve-point spirit, even if he can't use them for himself, he has to destroy them. We must not let this group of demons go out and stir up the storm!
