Chapter 184: Sitting on the Second County (Part II)

It is impossible to say that Yan Shao has a good impression of such betrayals, and he will not believe the words of these people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But unlike Zhao Yun, even if he doesn't have a good feeling, he doesn't have much disgust.

As a modern person, of course he likes to be loyal or something, but he always expects others to be absolutely loyal to himself. Sorry, he hadn't dreamed of that before.

Isn't there a saying, loyalty is because the chips for betrayal are not big enough, and decency is because there are not enough temptations. If you really believe that there are people in this world who will always be loyal, then Yan Shao is really a two hundred and five.

Not to mention anything else, how is Yuan Shao?

At the beginning, he also appeared as a loyal minister of the Han family, and even once confronted Dong Zhuo with a sword in the palace, and there are probably few people who have such courage today. Especially when Dong Zhuo had already dominated Luoyang, few people dared to disobey him. Even Cao Cao, although he felt that he was a little unscrupulous, secretly admired it in his heart.

But when he played Hebei, his mind changed, no, even when he was in command of the Kwantung coalition army.

A former loyal minister of the Han dynasty changed so quickly because of the temptation of power, and it would be too stupid to believe in such a thing as loyalty.

In Yan Shao's opinion, it is normal for these families to betray Cai Qi, unless they are willing to be buried with Cai Qi, otherwise there is only one choice. As for the words that they were coerced by Cai Qi, he didn't believe it very much, and of course, he didn't believe it completely. Considering Cai Qi's situation, it is not impossible for a dog to jump off the wall in a hurry.

However, he will forgive these people, and it is not simply because of modern thinking, but more importantly, he needs these people and needs these people to help him govern Donglai County.

As I said before, these families have been rooted in Donglai for hundreds of years, and they have touched all corners of Donglai County like countless tentacles.

If Yan Shao wants to govern Donglai well, he needs the help of these people, otherwise I am afraid that there will be countless troubles. In fact, even if Yan Shao attacked the city, he still needed to think of some ways to appease these people, and now that they took the initiative to go out of the city, wouldn't it be right to be so obedient?

Thinking of this, although Zhao Yun and the others next to him were a little blind, Yan Shao hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Nian and the others up, which made Zhang Nian and the others a little flattered.

"How dare you bother to make you like this..."

"Eh, you killed Cai Qi, it's really thanks to the court, to the people of Donglai, what's the point of trivial things..."Anyway, Yan Shao doesn't think there is anything to be proud of now, think about it, how proud Boss Cao was back then, after occupying Wancheng, he was so crazy that he even slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt, what was the final result?

He is now just a Beihai Taishou, and he has just occupied a Donglai County, and he has two counties in his hands, and his strength has indeed increased a lot. But how did it compare with the other princes at this time? You must know that there are many princes like Han Fu and Tao Qian who have their own states, not to mention the Roshan Great Demon King Dong Zhuo.

With Yan Shao's strength alone, there is really nothing to be proud of.

What's more, Yan Shao still needs these people in front of him to help him govern Donglai, and it is impossible for him to put on an arrogant posture.

Corporal Lixian, Yan Shao is also familiar with this kind of thing, so he doesn't feel any trouble.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

was appeased by Yan Shao for a while, and those people in the family also settled down, and returned to the city one by one, preparing to welcome Yan Shao into the city tomorrow.

Now that it has been determined that there is no war, there is naturally no need to continue to fight. The soldiers who had already been ready to go also returned to their tents―――――― fighting all day during the day was also very tiring for them.

However, the necessary garrison is still there, just looking at the city in the distance, which is no longer dangerous. The patrol sergeant also began to whisper, losing the initial nervousness.

"Lord, how can these betrayers be trusted!" Not long after returning to the camp, Zhao Yun had already spoken.

"Yes, lord, such a betrayer can betray Cai Qi today, and he can betray us tomorrow, I can't believe it..." Perhaps because of Lu Bu's example, although his views on Lu Bu are somewhat complicated, he is deeply disgusted with such betrayers.

Hearing their words, Yan Shao shook his head. "It's not that simple. Cai Qi is dead, but the owner of Donglai has never been this outsider, but these wealthy families rooted in the local area, if we want to gain a foothold in Donglai County, we need the help of these people, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be so easy to take this place as my own, so I will show favor so much before, just to let them be used by me, at least to find me less trouble. ”

"Hmph, what are those guys, if they dare to make trouble, they will all be killed!" Guan Hai was a little unimpressed, in his opinion, these people were nothing at all, and they didn't need Yan Shao to treat them like this, if they really dared to do something wrong, they would all be killed with one knife.

Who wanted to listen to his words, but Yan Shao shook his head. "If only things were as simple as you think." After that, Yan Shao also looked at Tai Shici next to him. "The influence of these families, Ziyi should know best, if we really have a grudge against them, and want to implement some policies in this Donglai County, I'm afraid it will really be difficult to move an inch..."

"That's true..."Although Tai Shici can't get used to those wealthy families, he has to admit that what Yan Shao said is right." These families have been inherited in Donglai for hundreds of years, and the influence of all aspects is not comparable to us, if they really have a feud, they don't even need to make any moves on the surface, as long as some small actions behind the scenes can give us a headache, the lord is like this, it is indeed a wise move..."

At this point, he let out a long sigh.

He was born in Donglai, but he is no stranger to these families.

But what really makes people feel troublesome is the relationship between these families. Don't look at the fact that these families are fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, in fact, they have been a little related to each other for hundreds of years. Now it looks like they are fighting very strongly, if someone cuts them, I'm afraid that these families will turn back.

And the marriage is not limited to a single county, but can sometimes spread throughout the state. This is also why when Sun Ce was killing in Jiangdong, the families competed against each other, although these families were honest when he was alive, but when he died and Sun Quan took the throne, he changed his way to drag Sun Quan back.

Moreover, the strength in the hands of these families is not limited to those family soldiers, but also all aspects of the industry, all of which are combined together, and even worthy of a county guard.

Nowadays, the helmsmen of many states and counties can basically only be regarded as puppets of the family, and this is not without reason.

If Yan Shao really comes to a big killing, the rest of the family will definitely try their best to make some mess for Yan Shao, and when the time comes, Yan Shao will not say that he will raise troops to unify Qingzhou, and it would be good to be able to make his rear safe. This is another reason why he will choose to compromise.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Unlike Yan Shao, those families didn't have much thought.

They would have made a ruthless move on Cai Qi at the beginning, on the one hand, because Cai Qi was determined to lose, and they were unwilling to lose with it, but the most important reason was that Cai Qi actually wanted to use them as hostages to coerce them to contribute all their strength to help defend the city?

You must know that the family pays great attention to reputation, especially those things that may discredit their own family. So this kind of betrayal, or even killing the master, is usually rarely done, but this time is different, Cai Qi's abacus is good, but it really touches their bottom line, so it's no wonder that they will fight back, kill Cai Qi on the city wall, and finally let this person come to a dead eye.

And in the case of just killing a county guard, it is absolutely impossible for them to betray Yan Shao again―――――― they have just betrayed one and betrayed another, what people will say about them in the future, and how they will evaluate them in the history books, these are all things they have to consider.

This is also one of the reasons why they are so obedient, of course, the premise is that Yan Shao does not touch their bottom line, otherwise they will be opposed.

At the end of the day, it's the interests that matter...

On the second day, the city gate was opened, and after some rectification, Yan Shao's soldiers and horses began to enter the city in a neat queue, as for the defenders in the city. The captured men had basically been dismissed in the morning, and the rest had been removed from the city walls and waited outside the city one by one.

Cai Qi's death means that Donglai County is completely under Yan Shao's command. After advancing into the county guard's mansion, Yan Shao can send people to deliver news to the remaining counties in Donglai, and if there are those who do not return, they can send troops to exterminate them.

In troubled times, people are more knowledgeable about current affairs, and there are very few people like Cai Qi who don't know current affairs. What's more, Cai Qi is already dead, and the rest of the people have no reason to resist. As soon as the soldiers who delivered the news arrived, the counties had already sent people to submit to them.

Later, Yan Shao began to divide the official positions, and distributed a considerable part of the positions to Zhang Nian and other family members, even if they were not the heads of these wealthy families, they were also important figures among them, so as to envelop the family. Subsequently, some people were transferred from Beihai County to serve in Donglai County.

In addition, Yan Shao also started Tuntian in Donglai County according to the example of Beihai, but compared with Beihai, Tuntian in Donglai is obviously much more difficult. Not to mention anything else, the yellow scarves in various parts of Donglai are a huge problem, but these are used to being handed over to others, and Yan Shao himself has already led troops back to Beihai.
