Zhang Bin's words, Zhang Duo didn't listen to them much.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Bin didn't say anything more, just watched from the sidelines.

After a while, Zhang Duo calmed down, and he asked with some uncertainty: "Uncle, do you really think that there is a change in this world?" The voice was cautious.

Zhang Bin said: "Will there be changes in the world, it's really hard to say, when the Han family declined, the heroes rose together, first Dong Zhuo, and then Cao Cao, all with Han as the skin, with themselves as the bones, to do the order, and now the king of Jin is inside, the kings are outside, all have their names, it is inevitable to fight, and the Quartet is unstable, all have strong and strong, the momentum of the four wars has been completed, and it is difficult to recover." ”

"After all, the imperial court is powerful, has many elite soldiers, and has the reputation of orthodoxy, once it settles down, won't it be requisitioned?" Zhang Duo humbly asked for advice, but his mind was already in a mess, "Besides, if the Youzhou Chen family, the Northwest Zhang family, the Qingzhou Tu Bo, and even the Jiangzuo clan all have the imperial court canonization, if they settle down in the future, they only need to lead these Quartet soldiers and horses to stabilize the Quartet." ”

"It may be stable, but the court can not be determined in a few years," Zhang Bin shook his head, with a bit of caution in his words, "Xuanwu Northern Expedition, unified the world, because of the south to unify the north, and there are family constraints, so the clan is widely sealed, and the military and government are in charge everywhere, even if there is only one county, you can also dispatch soldiers and horses, money and food, collect taxes and recuperate, and elect officials and appoint people, this is a hidden danger, you have also seen the ability of the county, the general of the expedition to the north, the talent of Tianzhong, only one year in office, can organize a new army, defeat Wang Jun, and occupy Youzhou, and even if the kings of the clan are dull, they have decades of hard work, has long established the prestige of the local county, and there are grain and grass soldiers, once an incident occurs, even if it can't sweep a state, it is enough to erode a state! ”

Zhang Duo nodded, feeling the same way.

The construction is difficult, but the destruction is simple, even if the force is limited, and it is limited by the imperial court, but as long as the army is raised, the damage to the local production and construction is very amazing, especially when Xuanwu is divided, many of the counties obtained by the princes of the clan, many are the essence of the county, the population is large, the land is fertile, and the finance is abundant and stable.

In order to suppress the power of the family in the court, Emperor Xuanwu allowed the local clans with real power fiefs to enter the court as officials, which is also the legal basis for the current King of the East China Sea, the King of Guanghan, the King of Jin and others to be in charge of the government, but it has also caused dissatisfaction among many clans, after all, everyone wants to get their hands on the authority, the past is okay, the various clans are fighting with each other, but at most it is a political dispute, but from the death of the King of the East China Sea, the King of Guanghan was murdered, and then the King of Changsha and others were calculated, the King of Jin came to power, and finally let the fight from the court, the capital, Went to the battlefield to fight. ”

Zhang Duo frowned and thought about it at first, and then suddenly realized, and said with some surprise: "Uncle is saying that in the future, this kind of clan will raise troops in the local area and then attack the national capital, will happen from time to time?" Then he lowered his head, half thinking, half muttering to himself, "That's right, in this way, as long as a clan gets up, it will at least erode one state, and then attack Luoyang, and affect the national capital, back and forth, the vitality of the imperial court will gradually pass......"

"This is all good," Zhang Bin shook his head lightly, "What I am most afraid of is that someone has broken through Luoyang and held the emperor hostage, then the disaster of Dong Zhuo and others will be repeated, and the towns in all directions will inevitably have different intentions!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at his nephew and said, "If you bring in the chaos in the world, you should know that the handsome man is not simply instigated by Nie Daoren and their Buddhism, but also has his own plans." ”

"I see, so it is," Zhang Duo muttered, "If the court is in chaos, the farther away from the capital, it is indeed beneficial, but being close is not necessarily a bad thing, Youzhou may develop in chaos, but it is far away from the center, and the future may be marginalized, we have to wait for the hinterland to decide the level, and then clean him up, but it is the marshal of Jizhou, if you can take Yecheng now, the prototype of the foundation will be really laid, seize the opportunity, and the future chaos will come, and you can arrange it calmly." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "Jizhou does have an advantage, and keeping the king of Jiangdu is also to further add to the chaos, but Youzhou is not without advantages, but it has a lot to do, and the general who conquered the north has also laid the foundation one step ahead of the commander." ”

"What foundation?" When Zhang Duo heard this, his heart moved, thinking of his uncle's recent actions, and gave birth to a guess.

"It's actually nothing to occupy Youzhou," Zhang Bin was not stingy with pointing out his nephew, "Wang Jun is just to this extent, but after the Chen family occupied Youzhou, he did not immediately recuperate, but attacked non-stop to force Murong and Tuoba back, what do you say?" I remember that when you heard the news of Chen's exit from the fortress before, you also said that this move was a waste of troops, and it was likely to hollow out the foundation of Youzhou and shake the foundation that had no solid foundation. ”

Zhang Duo did not shy away from it, nodded and admitted: "That's right, what I thought at the time is also a normal inference, but now it seems that the suppression of foreign clans has laid a stable environment around it, and the conditions for Youzhou's development have been met, not to mention that the Murong clan's concession has shocked the surrounding forces at once, and it has also made Youzhou even if it is developing, this prestige will not fall in a short time." ”

"Not only that, but the foreshadowing has not been laid for future expansion," Zhang Bin suddenly took over, "The Murong clan will not be convinced, the Tuoba Department will not live in peace, and even our big marshal will peep into the north, in this situation, when Youzhou recovers, there is no reason to do it." ”

The tendencies in these words were already undisguised, so much so that Zhang Duo couldn't help but say, "What does uncle mean?" ”

At this time, someone suddenly came in to summon the news, saying that they had found traces of Liu Gang and his party in the north, and Zhao Lu had already led someone to kill him.

"In that case, we have to hurry up." Zhang Bin stopped talking, stood up, and chuckled: "Zhao Lu is one of the eighteen horsemen who first followed the marshal, and now he is a marshal, but he is reckless, and he has few righteous sons, as for the sons of the righteous sons, the nominal grandsons, they are mostly foxes and tigers, and they are evildoers, if he really catches Liu Gang one step in advance, nine times out of ten he will be killed on the spot, then it will cause a disaster." ”

"Indeed!" Zhang Duo couldn't help but nod, worried in his heart, but what he thought was not that Liu Gang's death would cause Chen's revenge and shake the overall situation, but that he had other considerations, so after thinking about it, he still asked cautiously: "Then if we run into Liu Gang first, will we bring people back, or send them away safely?" ”

Zhang Bin glanced at him with a smile, shook his head and said: "If this troubled world comes, of course we must find a lord who can do things, but that lord doesn't like to be counted, since we do things for the handsome, no matter how big or small things are, we should be loyal to their duties, as for the rest,"
