War drums rumbled, smoke filled the sky, and thousands of cavalry marched along the road. Pedestrians who were in a hurry hid on both sides of the road, looking at the scene in front of them with concern, and anyone with a little common sense knew very well that war was about to break out

"This time, Yan Zhijun can win," said a young man who looked to be in his twenties a little worried, hiding almost a foot away from the road, just to avoid the smoke and dust kicked up by the cavalry.

In other words, he would never ask this kind of question in the past, after all, Yan Shao's prestige was not blown out, but built up by countless corpses and bones. This prestige is as solid as a rock, and people will not have the slightest worry.

But this time Yan Shao's opponent is really a little different, not those ordinary goods, nor the rabble of the yellow scarves, but Yuan Shao, a famous family in Jizhou, such an opponent cannot but make people worry.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems," noticing the young man's emotions, a middle-aged uncle next to him said comfortingly. "How could a good person like Yan Yuanjun have an accident, not to mention that there are not fierce generals like General Tai Shici and General Huang Zhong by his side?"

It's just that in the process of speaking, there is still some worry between the words.

The whisperers were not only them, but many others along the road. Most of them are immigrants from neighboring states and counties, which can also be called refugees.

In times of war, there are always many people who leave their homes, and this is no different now. In today's troubled times, there are a total of three places called paradise, namely Liu Yu's Youzhou, Liu Biao's Jingzhou and Yan Shao's Qingzhou, and most of the remaining states and counties are plagued by war.

In the past, most people were used to going to Jingzhou and Youzhou, after all, these two states and counties were relatively peaceful, and the monarchs of the two states also belonged to the kind of benevolent monarchs. As for Qingzhou, it is just a third-class choice, after all, there is peace in Qingzhou, and it is difficult to find even a thief, but Yan Shao, as a monarch, often leads the army to fight everywhere, and compared with several other monarchs, he obviously has a violent tendency.

But

It didn't take long for Liu Yu to die at the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and compared with Yan Shao, Gongsun Chan was obviously not a lenient monarch, and Youzhou also changed from a rare paradise to a battlefield that everyone avoided, and many of the foundations left by Liu Yu were almost ruined by Gongsun Zhan.

At this point, people's choices are only Jingzhou and Qingzhou.

In fact, there was originally a Xuzhou, although Tao Qian, the lord of Xuzhou, was not a particularly capable person, nor was he a generous monarch, but Xuzhou was governed quite well, of course, there may also be the credit of the local scholars.

But later, Cao Cao set off a battle of revenge, and Xuzhou turned into a sea of blood, and the original outdoor peach orchard disappeared completely. In the original history, Zhuge Liang was born in Xuzhou, and the Zhuge family was also regarded as a local noble family.

Later, because Zhuge Liang's father died, and Xuzhou was not peaceful at that time, Zhuge Liang and his brothers ran to Jiangdong with a relative who went to Jiangdong to take office. After the position of that relative was dismissed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family went to Jingzhou, a paradise, to seek refuge with Liu Biao

Although Liu Biao is not enterprising enough, he can be regarded as a promising person, who can protect his own land, and the people who govern the land can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, and Yan Shao's Qingzhou can attract the people to move over, relying on the Tuntian order.

As long as you are willing to move to Qingzhou, you can get land for free, of course, you need to open up the land yourself, but the government can provide enough food, seeds and farm tools, and promise not to ask for a penny in the initial period, isn't this exactly what the people of this era need most?

So in this troubled world, the two routes that the people took refuge in came out, one was Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and the other was Yan Shao's Qingzhou. Among them, Jingzhou can be regarded as an upper-class route, while Yan Shao's Qingzhou is a relatively civilian route.

This is because most of the people who can go to Jingzhou are people with family backgrounds, who can ensure that they will not starve to death because they have no place to live in Jingzhou. Most of the people who ran to Yan Shao's side were penniless, or who had lost most of their family property because of the war.

Of course, this is not an absolute thing, there are many rich people who go to Qingzhou, and many of them are so-called families, and the people who go to Jingzhou District are also not small, and many of them are so-called civilians. In the final analysis, what really measures everything is not what your own family is, but how far you are.

Qingzhou is relatively favored by the people of Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou, while Jingzhou is relatively favored by surrounding states and counties, after all, this distance will be relatively close. And the closer distance is still very advantageous in this era of backward transportation methods.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Zhang's Yizhou should have been counted as one of the paradises, and the so-called land of abundance is definitely not in vain, but why are not many people willing to go? It's because of the traffic

In ancient Yizhou, there were no developed transportation channels, and the road was too difficult to walk, and it could almost be said that when the vast majority of people were discouraged, it is no wonder that not many people were willing to go, after all, if you really want to go, but you need to travel a long distance, how many people are willing to endure this?

Therefore, these people living in Qingzhou do not want Yan Shao to fail, which means that they will lose their rare residence. As for why they would know? It's very simple, because not long ago, the text issued by Yan Shao has spread all over Qingzhou and Jizhou, and now everyone in the two states knows about it.

After all, this time Yan Shao did not just do it for a small plain, but for the entire Jizhou, so it was naturally more formal. In the text, Yuan Shao's black spots are not particularly many, it is nothing more than the mistake of luring Dong Zhuo into the house at the beginning, some things that abandon others for their own selfish interests during the alliance, and the dove occupying the magpie's nest in the plain, which is also a major reason for Yan Shao to go north, but the real fatal blow to Yuan Shao is that Yuan Shao stopped moving forward after occupying Luoyang.

Maybe when he stopped in Luoyang, Yuan Shao also had his own considerations, and it was not entirely for his own selfish desires. But Yan Shao didn't think so, at least Yan Shao didn't want the world to think so, so in the text, he described Yuan Shao's move as deliberate, when the coalition forces obviously had enough strength to defeat Dong Zhuo, but let the Son of Heaven be robbed by Dong Zhuo, just to let the world go in chaos, so that the Han family lost full control of the Kwantung region, so that the Yuan family, as a famous family, could also become the actual controller of the Kwantung region and even the entire Central Plains.

Considering that Yuan Shao and his brother Yuan Shu had not yet split up at that time, it was very likely that this was a conspiracy between the two. And the current situation seems to confirm Yan Shao's considerations, among the thirteen states, the influence of the Yuan clan has almost exceeded half of them.

(Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou)

、

There are only thirteen states in the world, among which the Yuan family has occupied Jizhou and Yangzhou. Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, etc., were also pulled into this alliance, almost all of them belonged to the camp of the two brothers, and it is true that most of the world was influenced by the Yuan family, all of which confirmed that the stagnation in Luoyang at that time was the conspiracy of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu

In order to be able to make the Yuan family, who was already a famous family, completely become the overlord of the world

Believe it or not, that's what it says in the text anyway

And as the text spread throughout the states and counties, more and more people were willing to believe so.

'Yan Shao is a Hanchen, eats Hanlu, everything he has is given by the Han family, he should beg this traitor for the Han family, he will break his bones and never give up! ’

At least on the text, what is written is indeed enthusiastic.

Yan Shao's own writing is actually rotten, but there are many literati strategists under him, and don't forget, Zheng Xuan, the biggest Confucian today, is under Yan Shao's hands. Zheng Xuan and the Yuan family are old friends, and there must be no way to stand up and help Yan Shao denounce Yuan Shao, and Yan Shao does not have the energy to mobilize Zheng Xuan. However, there are many students of Zheng Xuan under Yan Shao's hands, and these people may not be very good at giving advice, but they are really not inferior to too many people in terms of pen and ink.

For these people, they have already received the benefits of living in Qingzhou, and they are naturally grateful to Yan Shao, and they are not willing to fail Yan Shao. Looking at the teams passing in front of them, they all sighed for a long time, only hoping that Yan Shao could win, otherwise they might not have a good life.

But there are other people who think differently than they do.

"Hmph, Yan Shao's guy is just a down-and-out man, he was lucky to get some false fame, he had some soldiers and horses in his hands, so he thought it was self-righteous, and now he dared to crusade against the Yuan family, who was born in a famous family, it was really humiliating" Not far away, a son-in-law who seemed to have some net worth was a little disdainful there.

"You guy, why do you talk like that!"

"That's right, Yan Envoy Jun is our benefactor!"

At this time, the cavalry had gradually moved away, and the sound of horses' hooves had almost disappeared, and the chatter of the surrounding people could be heard far away, and the young man's words soon fell into the ears of the surrounding people, and when they heard this, the people around them were suddenly a little angry.

"Hmph, what do you mud legs know?"

The anger of the people around him was so angry that the young man was startled, but it was only startled, obviously there were a lot of people standing around, but he didn't look worried or scared at all, but even more disdainful.

Seeing that the young man was caught, and he was still like this, the people around him were even more angry, just looking at what he was wearing, they were also a little jealous.

In these years, those who can wear such clothes are usually not too ordinary

That's right, the days in Qingzhou are indeed better than in other places, not to mention anything else, at least it's okay to be well fed and clothed. Especially those people who first arrived in Qingzhou, now the fields they are responsible for cultivating have begun to harvest, and they have more food in their hands, so they don't need to worry about starvation.

However, it's just that they don't starve to death, they are still far away from them, and the vast majority of the people have just become healthier, and the clothes on their bodies are not so pitiful as not covering their bodies, and it is impossible to dress up like those dignitaries.

If you can do this, there are usually only some rich businessmen or people from wealthy families, and no matter which one of them is something they can offend. Especially after discovering the commotion around them, several sturdy men soon ran out and glared at them, as long as they dared to take a step forward, it would be a good fight, and the people around them dared not speak angrily.

No way, no matter what era it is, ordinary people can't fight those dignitaries, and it doesn't seem strange that these people have this kind of thought.

At this time, it was still the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was still an era that paid more attention to class. When looking at a person, I don't look at the bloodline like Europe, but I will also look at the background, the so-called filial piety, how many of them are just the mutual correlation between the families, and there are few poor children who can really be promoted, which is why the children of the poor family like Guo Jia are not treated by Yuan Shao at all, and Xun Yu and others also abandoned Yuan Shao one by one after seeing Yuan Shao's true face.

It's not that Yuan Shao's strength is not good, but that Yuan Shao's person doesn't have much future.

Ordinary talents are okay, even if the lord they serve has some flaws, but as long as they still have some advantages, and they are stronger than other monarchs, but for people like Xun Yu, this is an unforgivable shortcoming.

Many families in Qingzhou have always looked down on Yan Shao, not because of anything else, but because of Yan Shao's family background. Yan Shao, who was born in the Yan family, is just a son of a family who is no different from the children of a poor family, such a down-and-out family, but now with such a status and power, how can it be pleasing to the eye? What's more, many of Yan Shao's measures actually indirectly hurt the interests of the family, especially the Tuntian policy. It also made many tenants who were originally working for the family go to Yan Shao to go to Tuntian.

Especially for those young families, they looked down on Yan Shao, thinking that his success was just luck, if it was replaced by his own success in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he would definitely be much stronger than Yan Shao. There are definitely not a few people who think this way.

But

Looking at the people around him who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, just when the young man was triumphant, a huge figure appeared behind him, and the shadow almost covered his entire person, at the beginning, the young man was still a little confused, thinking that it was dark, and when he turned around, his face suddenly turned pale.
