People who don't know the situation in Yizhou may choose a larger county to serve as a taishou instead of going to a county divided by Jin Jue.

But Shen Mi and Lou Fa are both from Yizhou, and they don't know where the twists and turns are. As an official in Yizhou, if you don't have too strong ability, it's best to be an official as close to Shu County.

First, the closer to Shu County, the more prosperous the economy, the more oil and water can be fished out of the prosperous place.

Second, the closer to Shu County, the safer it is. Among the five counties south of Shu County, the further south they go, the more barbarians there are in the county, and the fewer Han Chinese, so the greater the chance of barbarian rebellion. Once the barbarians rebelled, the local commanders became their preferred targets.

Shen Mi and Lou Fa are not Gan Ning, they are just ordinary people, their abilities are limited, they may not be able to resist the attack of the barbarians, and the possibility of colluding with the barbarians is very rare. People have the ability to destroy you, so why should they collude with you, a weak chicken?

Third, one of them went to serve as a taishou in the Guanghan vassal state, and Jin Jue officially changed the name of the Guanghan vassal state to Yinping County.

After reading the letter that Jin Jue sent to them, Shen Mi and Lou Fa had already made a decision in their hearts to choose the second choice that Jin Jue gave them.

Even, Juti County and Yinping County will not be chosen. Because Zhuti County, which is now a subject country, already belongs to Nanzhong, and the three provinces of Yinping County are all the ways that supervise foreign people, and all the people in its territory are Di people, which is stronger than the Di people in Wudu County. Within the three provinces, the number of Han people is small, and they all live in the city, and all the villages outside the city are full of Di people.

The situation is much better for the divided counties and Jiangyang counties.

Jin Jue also gave Shen Mi and Lou Fa two other tasks that were not too difficult, and asked them to send people to get in touch with Pang Xi and Zhao Wei's subordinates.

In Jin Jue's view, Pang Xi and Zhao Yun are different.

Pang Xi is the same as Zhao Wei, he is very ambitious, but Pang Xi himself is not from Yizhou, and he has the same interests as the locals in Yizhou.

And Zhao Wei is a local and represents the interests of the local gentry in Yizhou, even if in the future, this person may be under the general trend, and it is very likely that he will surrender to Jin Jue's army, but he may not really assist Jin Jue.

Rather than this, Jin Jue would rather deal with the generals under Zhao Wei, and the demands of military attachés and civilian officials are completely different. I am afraid that no one in this world knows this better than Jin Jue, a traverser.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the policy of 'deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism' in the territory of the Han Dynasty, since then, the so-called 'four people' in ancient times have actually become the five people-civil, military, agricultural, industrial, and commercial.

Whenever the country was founded, the status of military attachés was high, but after the world was pacified, civilian officials would gradually replace the status of military attachés and become the real ruling class.

This is an eternal truth.

It is especially obvious here in Yizhou, after Liu Bei established Shu Han, after the older generation of military generals died or died of illness one after another, the people in power were all civil officials promoted by Zhuge Liang.

Even when Wei Yan was alive, his status was the same as that of the civil official Yang Yi, and Jiang Wei was suppressed by Jiang Wan and Fei Yi for many years. Of course, this is not to say that Zhuge Liang did something wrong.

It was precisely because Jiang Wan and Fei Yi suppressed Jiang Wei for many years that Jiang Wei did not defeat Shu Han's army. Fei Yi didn't die long before Jiang Wei's strategy of opening the door and stealing turned out to be an extremely wrong strategy. The second city of Hanle he built was not able to stop the Zhonghui army for a long time, and he lost Hanzhong County at once, which allowed Deng Ai to find an opportunity to take advantage of it, directly from Yinping Road, bypassing the Great Sword Pass, and attacking Shu County.

Even, if the local families of the Confucian family in Yizhou refused to compromise with Jin Jue and took the initiative to give up all their land, Jin Jue would not blink an eye when he killed them.

After cutting down this layer of mountains on the heads of the people, it was easier for Jin Jue to inform Yizhou.

Jin Jue wanted to restore the political model of combining Legalism and Taoism in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. Even in the Han Dynasty, some Confucian scholars were silverfish who were not diligent and did not distinguish between grains, and such people did no good at all except for being able to help the ruler and the people.

And the pen in the hands of the Confucian scholars became a tool for them to slander the monarch.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first respected Confucianism, and as a result, the monarch who first promoted Confucianism became the first victim of Confucianism.

What is even more ironic is that Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, who were regarded as Ming monarchs by Confucian scholars, were both believers in Taoism during their reigns. And Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who is known as the lord of Zhongxing, was even more disgusted with Confucianism, and said the words that were famous and influenced countless emperors in later generations - 'The Han family has its own system, which is supposed to be a tyranny, but it is purely moral and moral, and Zhou Zhenghu is used! And the vulgar Confucianism is not up to the time, but it is good that the past is not the present, so that people are dazzled by the name and the truth, and they don't know what to keep, how can they be appointed? ’

Cao Cao sent troops to Nanyang, and although he won the battle, he was finally overwhelmed and had to return to Yanzhou and shrink again.

This time, the Cao army attacked Nanyang, except for killing a large number of Zhang Xiujun and Liu Biaojun, they did not gain much.

Zhang Xiu guarded Nanyang and gathered most of the army and people in Wancheng, as for the other counties, even if they were captured by Cao's army, they would find that there was no surplus food to be found in these counties.

Cao Jun this time, it can be said that stealing chickens does not make a handful of rice. Killed a lot of soldiers of the two armies, but it did not damage the vitality of Zhang Xiujun and Liu Biaojun at all, and Cao Jun did not get the food they lost from Nanyang this time.

The elite of Zhang Xiu's army was the 2,000 Xiliang cavalry in his hands, and Liu Biao now concentrated all his forces in Xiangyang and Jiangxia, concentrating all his strength on defending against Sun Ce's possible attack. After all, Liu Biao, Huang Zu and Sun Ce have a grudge against their father.

The news quickly reached Jin Jue's ears through Shangyong.

At this time, Jin Jue also knew the good news - Zhang Xiu had decided to keep his promise and surrender the whole army to Jin Jue.

Jia Xu has no objection to this, obviously, Jia Xu is not as optimistic about Cao Cao as he used to be.

However, before the Second Battle of Nanyang, the envoy sent by Zhang Xiu had already stated in Jin Jue's heart that he didn't want to stay in that ghost place in Nanyang County anymore.

Staying there is completely Cao Cao's live target. If there is nothing to do, send troops to provoke him.

Because of Zhang Xiu's previous repetitions, Liu Biao no longer trusts him as much as before. Therefore, when Zhang Xiujun could not get sufficient food supplements, it became empty talk to think of replenishing troops.
