In the lobby, several people then chatted, and Fu Quan then asked the elders of the Zhong family about the current situation of the Zhong family while waiting for Zhong Xuan, which was nothing more than how the Zhong family was going to arrange the situation of the elites in the clan after the yellow turban was in chaos and the party was lifted.

In his words, Fu Quan also eagerly revealed that he was humble and talented, and he did not hesitate to wait for Zhong talents to come under his command, but it was obvious that Fu Quan's words were ignored by these old guys of the Zhong family, and they brought out that they were related to Li Ying, the former leader of course, and did not need Fu Quan's care for the time being.

After hearing this, Fu Quan didn't care, because he knew that if he could so easily let Yingchuan and other party members change their hostile stance towards him and move closer to him, then it would not be possible unless he could be like the good opportunity that Cao Cao encountered later.

Otherwise, if Yuan Shao had not supported the Hebei Shi clan after he had been based in Hebei, and suppressed the Ruying Shi clan who started with him, it would not have caused Yuan Shao's Henan old foundation to run away collectively, so that later the Yingchuan Shi clan under Yuan Shao's command collectively threw themselves into Cao Cao under Yuan Shao's nose.

Maybe there was a reason why Yuan Shao gave talents to Cao Cao in order to take care of Cao Cao's little brother in the first place, but if it weren't for the fact that the Yingchuan clan couldn't feel that they were being suppressed in Hebei, how could they finally help Cao Cao? In fact, under the circumstances at that time, the forces in the world had already formed a majority, and many princes had their own elite teams under their commands, and it was undoubtedly difficult for them to suppress the treasure of the Yingchuan clan, and there was nothing for them to choose, and in the end, there was no doubt that Cao Cao, a potential stock in the still difficult situation, was very suitable for them.

After all, in the early days of Cao Cao's command, in addition to his own Cao clan and Xiahou clan cronies, there were very few civil and military surnames, which was undoubtedly a very good choice for Yingchuan, a scholar who has liked to be in politics since ancient times, at least compared to going to other princes who had already had a lot of teams, choosing Cao Cao obviously would not allow them to spend too much energy fighting for power and profit.

Moreover, not only the Ruying clan, but also the scholars who speculated late in other places and did not suppress the treasure from the beginning, didn't most of them see clearly the lack of political talents under Cao Cao?

However, it is obvious that their abacus is not good, although they are in adversity, but Cao Cao does not accept the offer. Cao Cao has been precocious since he was a child, and he has always been discriminated against by the clans because of the eunuchs' descendants, and he is also very clear about the thoughts of these clans, especially the relationship between these clans, which makes Cao Cao always jealous.

Think about it, Yingchuan Xun is the most important political talent support under Cao Cao, only Xun Yu alone, recommended Xun You, Guo Jia, Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai and other scholars to Cao Cao, which shows the relationship between the scholars.

In this, although after Yuan Shao occupied Hebei, in order to control the north, he vigorously promoted the northern scholars, resulting in the prosperity of northern talents under his command, and the talents of the scholars in Henan and other places, because they were not born in the north, could not be based in Hebei, and could not get ahead in Hebei, so they could only vote for others, but it also fully showed the influence of the connections between the scholars.

Later, Cao Cao received strong support from the Yingchuan Shi clan, but he was always defensive of the Shi clan, he knew that the Shi clan had communication with each other, and if he left it alone, he would not lose his tail, so his trust in the Shi clan was always limited.

And the Yingchuan clan, who had always discriminated against him, actually supported him so strongly, which obviously made Cao Cao, a suspicious "neurotic", very jealous, so Cao Cao never let the scholars control the military power. For example, Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, etc., are always just strategists, and those who hold military power are always cronies such as Cao and Xiahou, or non-scholar generals such as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.

Therefore, in the Cao Cao era, the power of the scholar clan never came out too much, and could only shine in the political field. Moreover, for the scholars, Cao Cao is both using and suppressing. For example, Bian Rang, Kong Rong, Xun Yu, Cui Yan, Yang Xiu and other scholars all died at the hands of Cao Cao, although there are other reasons, but most of them are because of Cao Cao's personal excellent political methods.

However, after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, perhaps because of his own background and the fact that the scholars contributed a lot when he seized the throne, Cao Pi trusted the scholars too much, and changed Cao Cao's original intention of restricting the scholars.

The most simple and clear thing is that Sima Yi and Chen Qun were not in high positions in the Cao Cao era, let alone involved in military power, but after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, both of them were extremely popular ministers, and both began to master military power. For example, Chen Qun was only a servant in the Cao Cao era, and a few years after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he became the general of the town army, led the middle guard, and recorded the affairs of the book. Sima Yi was only a military Sima in the Cao Cao era, and after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi was an official to raise the army, fake festivals, and added to the matter and recorded the book. Before Cao Pi died, he also appointed Sima Yi, Chen Qun, and Cao Zhen as ministers of care, and sued Cao Rong, and the three of them could be fully trusted.

Of course, if you only pay attention to the scholars, this will not completely affect the control of Cao Wei's imperial power over the court and the locality, and what is even crazier about Cao Pi is that he not only reuses the scholars, but also suppresses and restricts the clan power at the same time.

Cao Cao has always trusted the Cao family and the Xiahou clan very much, such as Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, etc., all of whom are generals with heavy troops under Cao Cao.

It's just that after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, probably because of the hardships after he seized the throne, Cao Pi was very defensive of his own brothers, which made Cao Wei's clan power change the peak of Cao Cao's period. For example, Cao Zhang's bizarre death, Cao Zhi was strictly guarded, and Cao Pi's other brothers were also strictly guarded, like prisoners. Of course, non-brother generals such as Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, although they were also reused by Cao Pi, were not as trusted as Chen Qun and Sima Yi.

Moreover, in the country's policy of electing officials, Cao Pi also changed Cao Cao's original policy of reusing people from poor families and reusing people from the noble family. After all, in terms of employing people, Cao Cao adheres to the principle of "meritocracy", regardless of background, such as Wuzi Liangjiang, Li Dian, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others, none of whom are from a large family, but they are all reused by Cao Cao.

However, when he arrived at Cao Pi, he paid great attention to the scholars of the Han family, and even passed the nine-grade Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun, which is the gospel for the scholars, and the selection of people was completely inclined to the scholars.

Since then, Cao Wei's selection of talents has been more clear than that of Han. Mainly based on the background, the originally powerful gate lord clan power suddenly entered a qualitative leap forward, laying a solid foundation for the next two Jin gate valves.

In the end, this led to the Cao Cao era, when the power of the military under his command was dispersed and balanced with each other, but in the Cao Pi era, there was a situation where the power of the military under his command was concentrated and one family was dominant.

During the Cao Cao era, civilian officials were only responsible for administration, logistics, and planning, and military generals controlled the army, and power was decentralized. The scholars, the Han people, and the relatives check and balance each other, and in the Cao Pi era, the Shi family was dominant, overwhelming the imperial relatives and the Han family, and the power was more highly concentrated.

Therefore, the later demise of Cao Wei, in Fu Quan's view, was largely due to Cao Pi's fault, after all, as the first emperor of Wei, he changed Cao Cao's most important basic policy, which eventually led to Cao Wei's usurpation of power by the Sima clan.

As for the Changshe Zhong family, they don't care about Fuquan's solicitation now, the specific reason is also very simple, because for the Zhong family, they have better thighs to hold, and they don't care about the influence of Fuquan's relative at all, because they have the protection and promotion of another relative, and that relative is still Fuquan's sworn enemy, I believe that the other party will be very happy to protect and promote Zhong.

That's right, that relative of Fuquan's sworn enemy is naturally the general He Jin, and as for why he wants to promote the Zhong family, it is naturally because he is now relying on the current leader of course Yuan Shao.

After all, there is also an in-law relationship between Yuan Shao and the Zhong family, and there is an in-law bond between them, that is, Yuan Shao's father-in-law, Li Ying.

Lin Shuchang Zhong Hao has a nephew Zhong Jin, who is the son of Zhong Hao's brother, and Zhong Jin's mother is Li Ying's aunt, and later Li Ying married his sister to Zhong Jin, so there is a deep connection between the Zhong family and Yuan Shao, the current ruler of the Yuan family, so they are not afraid or even wait to see Fuquan.

This point, after Fuquan saw Zhong Xuan, it was particularly obvious, after the other party heard his intention to conquer, he was obviously very reluctant to recruit himself, but after all, Fuquan is now in the long society, even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have to let him a few points, so Zhong Xuan, or the Zhong family behind him, does not dare to refuse easily.

After all, for the sake of the interests of the clan, the scholars rarely offend other powerful people, and Fuquan's reason for conquering Zhong Xuan is also very serious, if Zhong Xuan refuses, it will obviously be said by Fuquan that he has an old relationship with the moth thief and refuses to help the Han army, so Zhong Xuan only agreed to lead the way for Fuquan when he pacified the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Moth thieves, but did not accept Fuquan's expedition.

In this regard, Fu Quan has nothing to do, after all, the reason why he wants Zhong Xuan is not to get to know these Yingchuan clans when he conquests the Yellow Turban in the future?

Thinking that with the help of Zhong Xuan's gang, with the in-law relationship between the Yingchuan clan, Fu Quan thought that he would definitely be able to take fewer detours, and if he could gather some good scholars during these times, it would be good. After all, among the famous Yingchuan strategists in later generations, there are not only those who are family strategists, many Yingchuan poor strategists are also good, if you can get one of them in advance, it is also a good deal.

Taking what belongs to others and being able to snatch it into his own is what Fu Quan has always had, after all, this is an excellent way to weaken the opponent and strengthen his own strength. As for what will happen to others in the future, it is not what Fu Quan is considering, who let a freak like him appear in this world now?

Zhong Miao in front of him looks like a beautiful man, about 20 years old, where he is placed, it is also an eye-catching existence. When Fuquan saw it, he couldn't help but secretly praise that it was really the Yingchuan family, and the marriage between dozens of generations, basically none of them looked bad. And seeing the young men and women outside the Zhong family's lobby, looking at the eyes of those people, there were expressions of envy and jealousy, Fu Quan was very sure that this beautiful man was Zhong Xuan.

After all, the expressions in the eyes of those men and women were not fake, and the young men and women of the Zhong clan could not think of anyone else except Zhong Xuan.

Later, Fu Quan briefly inquired about Zhong Xuan's knowledge, in fact, he was also starting with Zhong Xuan, so as to understand the knowledge of the Xiayingchuan clan in advance. He is now too guarded by any party, and it is naturally not necessary to test the knowledge of some students in the school, and there are many books to read in this life, so it is not difficult for them to study their knowledge, and from a person's knowledge, it is not difficult to infer the talent strength of a place.

Although the Zhong family and the others felt that Fuquan's routine was a bit ridiculous, they did not stop it. After Fuquan's inquiry was over, he then had a polite conversation with the Zhong family, and then agreed with Zhong Xuan to enter his own military camp, and then he returned to the camp.

The next day, in the city of Changshe, two letters for help were received, one was a letter for help from Zhiyang Zhai of Yingchuan County, and the other was a letter of help from Runan County, so that the Han Dynasty army that had just experienced a major war and was still resting in Changshe County complained that they would be dispatched with the commanders of various departments.

The content of Yang Zhai's letter for help is very brief, to the effect that the Yellow Turban Moth thief Qu Shuai Bocai led 70,000 people under his command to besiege Yangzhai County, and Yingchuan Taishou Yin Xiu hoped that the left and right middle Lang would lead the troops to rescue Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Pingkou General Fuquan.

As for the letter of help from Runan County, it was written in great detail, and the situation was more urgent than that of Yang Zhai, because the Runan Yellow Turban defeated Zhao Qian, who led the county soldiers to quell the chaos in Shaoling, and there was a tendency to join up with the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who were in trouble with Chen Guo, and then attack Yingchuan to rescue Bocai, the situation was corrupt and precarious.

After verifying the official seals of Yingchuan County and Runan County in the two letters, as well as the private seals of Yin Xiu and Zhao Qian, and then asked the officials of Yingchuan County and Runan County, who came to deliver the letters, after many hardships, and asked the three of them to determine the authenticity of the two letters.

And because the situation of the two officials was very serious, and the handwriting in Yin Xiu and Zhao Qian's letter was panicked, it was obvious that the two were already in a dangerous situation when they wrote the letter.

Therefore, the three of them made a lot of calculations and finally decided to temporarily recruit soldiers in the Changshe to supplement their respective forces. After that, let Fu Quan lead all the cavalry of the Han army, as well as the remaining Ban Yu barbarians under his command to rescue Yangzhai County, as for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, they led all the Han troops under their command to block the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Runan and Chen Guo's two counties.

In the distant trombone sound, the Han army was divided into two parts, and left the county seat of Changshe in turn, heading straight to the place where they had predetermined to quell the chaos.
