Just like today's Youzhou, if the family dares to come to the city, the first to disagree is the people, and when the people have their own interests, they will be like the family, desperate for their own interests.

Of course, the interests of the people, as rulers, can play a leading role, so that the power of the people can be used by the rulers, and the role played is extremely powerful, and the people naturally want to be under such monarchs.

After Xu Yu left, Lu Bu fell into contemplation, the attitude towards the Jizhou family is a very important issue, the most important thing at the moment is to completely stabilize Jizhou, and the first thing to make Jizhou stable is to let the family settle down, which cannot be denied.

The situation in Jizhou is different from that of Mergezhou, the background of the family is too strong, and a series of problems follow, the family does not want to lose everything in front of them, and Lu Bu wants to make the people feel attached to him, it can be said that he and Yuan Shao are at two extremes, Yuan Shao can ignore the people for the sake of the family, and Lu Bu abandons the family aside for the sake of the people when he acts, two completely different actions are effective, but the ruler cannot really control the behavior of the family after pleasing the family, Lu Bu can make the people under his rule come to heart, and after such a comparison between the two, he makes a judgment.

"In any case, the family in Jizhou will be weakened after all, and after Jizhou is stabilized, everything will be clear." Lu Bu muttered.

For Yuan Shao, who fled to Qingzhou, Lu Bu did not plan to attack for the time being, the weather was getting colder, and after a series of battles, the soldiers were tired and needed to recuperate.

Consumable items such as thunderbolts and bed crossbows, once damaged, need to be transported from Bingzhou, and the consumption along the way is a large amount.

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the state army lost not a few, replenishing the cavalry, the most consumed, fortunately the state has its own horse farm, the cost is greatly reduced, put on the princes, want to replenish the loss of so many cavalry, it is absolutely nerve-wracking.

After the defeat of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army outside Huguan, it was difficult to really recover in two or three years, of course, the territory under Cao Cao's rule was slightly larger, and the recovery speed was faster, but Jiangdong's strength declined sharply after this war.

Hejian, the status of Jizhou has always been more important, but Hejian and Youzhou are close to each other, there are not a few soldiers and horses that need to be stationed, Hejian provides Jizhou with a lot of grain and grass every year, if Youzhou falls into the hands of Yuan Shao, Jizhou can mobilize 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, which is why Yuan Shao does not want Youzhou to fall into the hands of Lu Bu.

For example, Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian and Youzhou are close to each other, even when there is no war, a large number of soldiers and horses are needed to be stationed in the three places, which greatly involves the strength of the Jizhou army.

In Jizhou, in addition to Yecheng, the number of families in Hejian and Qinghe is the largest, when the Han Dynasty was the strongest, the strength of the family in Jizhou was not weak, and the heritage over the years has given the family a great say in Jizhou, the reason why Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou so easily, has an inseparable relationship with the support of the family, of course, Yuan Shao is also good for the family in Jizhou, over the years, the strength of the Jizhou army has been improved rapidly.

If it weren't for Lu Bu's birth, Yuan Shao would have already taken Youzhou into his hands.

Among the families in Hejian, the Zhang family and the Liu family are the largest, and the two families can be said to have the absolute right to speak in Hejian, even if they are officials sent to Hejian by Jizhou, they need to visit the two families in advance, and at the same time, the two families have family assets that ordinary people can imagine, such as the fields between the rivers, more than half of which are controlled by the two families.

Hejian has become the territory of the Zhang family and the Liu family, even if the family of Yecheng wants to intervene in it, it is difficult to do it.

After the defeat of Wei Jun and returned to the river, Gao Ran immediately recruited soldiers in the city and trained hard, he could feel that a big war would break out in Jizhou, the strength of the wolf cavalry was too amazing, not that Gao Ran had no way to command the army, but the strength of the wolf cavalry was too strong, in the face of absolute strength, even if a general's combat ability was strong, it was difficult to be perfect.

What's more, the Jizhou army at that time was not elite, and when faced with a strong enemy, they would flee.

Yecheng was defeated, Yuan Shao led the troops to flee to Qingzhou after the news reached the river, caused a lot of turmoil in the river, Yuan Shao is a famous family, has a great reputation in the world, mentioning the Yuan family who does not know the fourth world and the third duke, this is also the reason why many families are willing to support Yuan Shao, because the Yuan family itself is a powerful family of the Han Dynasty.

After Guo Yuan's defeat in Zhongshan, he fled to the river, and there were more than 5,000 people gathered with Gao Lan's soldiers and horses.

Gao Ran glanced at the Zhang family in the room and advocated humility with Liu Chang, the head of the Liu family, and said slowly: "Now that Jizhou is in danger, the lord is defeated and Qingzhou, Lu Bu will definitely not let go of the river so easily, Lu Bu's army will come to the river in a few days, on the occasion of the crisis in Jizhou, you should work together to tide over the difficulties and strive to repel the enemy army." ”

Gao Ran has absolute confidence in Yuan Shao, and if he can hold the river, it will play a vital role in Yuan Shao's leadership of Jizhou again in the future.

Zhang Qian stroked his gray beard and nodded: "General Gao's words are very true, Hejian is an important place in Jizhou, and Hejian City is high and deep, which cannot be broken by the Bingzhou army, but the families in the city must work together to hold Hejian." ”

Liu Chang said: "That's right, the reason why Yecheng was broken by the Bingzhou army was because of Xu You's betrayal, such a treacherous villain, if it falls into our hands in the future, he will definitely die without a body." ”

Compared with Zhang Qian, Liu Chang is a little radical, Zhang Qian is nearly sixty years old, and he doesn't know how much more things he has experienced than Liu Chang, who is in his thirties.

"There are two family heads to help, and the state army is not enough to fear, and now there are 5,300 people in the city who can fight, although not long ago in the city to recruit 3,000 soldiers, these soldiers have just been trained, even if they are on the battlefield, it is difficult to play a big role, the only thing that worries the general is the thunderbolt of the state army, and the reason why the state army has won a hundred battles, in addition to the high morale of the army, it also has a unique feature in the equipment." Gao Ran Road.
