Chapter 0224: The eldest grandson, Li Yan, discusses the merger
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Yan agreed with Liu Bowen's idea very much, and at the same time, they also put forward their own opinions.
Li Yan is the son of a family and knows more about the local tyrant family.
"The Jizhou family, although it supports Yuan Benchu's leadership of Jizhou, may not support its army and annexation of the state."
According to Li Yan's analysis, although the family has great power, it is a local tyrant after all, and to put it bluntly, it is a local tyrant.
What they are most concerned about is the interests of their own families, how much land they have and how much food they harvest.
The interests of the Maison are usually confined to a small area. Or a township, or a county, a big family, the power may cover a county, and the super family may be able to affect a state.
Like the Yuan family, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu control two large territories respectively, which can be said to be unique.
Because the limitations of the Maison's interests determine the limitations of the Maison's vision.
For the Jizhou family, the stability of Jizhou is the key to the family's benefits.
In the eyes of the Jizhou family, Bingzhou is a poor and remote place, and it is also a place where the interests of the family are difficult to cover, Yuan Shao seized the state and will not transfer the land of the state to the Jizhou family, so there is no direct benefit to the family from starting a war.
On the contrary, once Jizhou and the states were at war, Yuan Shao would definitely collect all kinds of materials from the Jizhou family, which would hurt their interests.
Li Yan's analysis made Liu Mang feel suddenly enlightened.
"That's right! To seize Jizhou, only Yuan Shao will benefit, and it is difficult for the Jizhou family to get benefits. Yuan Shao hesitated at the beginning, perhaps, he didn't get the strong support of the family behind him. ”
"Yes." Li Yan continued, "And Taishou you are different from Yuan Benchu. Taishou is self-made, and there is no family behind him, so he does not need to be bound by the family. After the capture of Taiyuan, except for the Qiao family of Qi County, there was no other family to support. In the future, the development of Taiyuan will not have to look at the face of the family. ”
"What Li Gongzi said is extremely true." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "But there is one thing that Taishou must also consider. Although we do not need the direct support of the Taiyuan family, these families are deeply rooted in Taiyuan, and appropriate closeness is a shortcut to ensure the long-term stability of Taiyuan. ”
Liu Mang nodded. "In Yuci, when the head of the family was invited twice, he had already expressed it. The treatment of the Taiyuan family is still based on cooperation. We don't depend on them, but as long as they do their part, we don't make it difficult for them. Taiyuan is mountainous and rich in minerals, and with the help of the family's financial resources, it cooperates in mining. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Yan agreed in unison.
Liu Mang still has his own calculations in his heart. It's okay to cooperate with the family, but those who have never helped themselves, if they want to get the same treatment as the Qiao family, then they can only "hehe".
After Li Yan's analysis, Liu Mang's confidence in solving Yuan Shao's problem increased by a few percent.
The eldest grandson Wuji also has his own opinions.
"Mr. Berwyn's analysis and planning are almost perfect. However, we can also use the influence of the imperial court to avoid a large-scale conflict with Yuan Shao in the short term. ”
"The Imperial Court? The court was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and I dismissed his face one after another, he wished that I would have a good time with Yuan Benchu, how could he come forward? ”
Since the eldest grandson Wuji has made a suggestion, he naturally has his own opinions.
Because of Lu Bu's relationship, it was difficult for Dong Zhuo's Xiliang forces to enter the state. For Dong Zhuo, Liu Mang's occupation of Taiyuan is far more advantageous than Yuan Shao's occupation of Taiyuan.
At present, Liu Mang's strength is far weaker than Yuan Shao. Although Dong Zhuo hopes to see Liu Mang and Yuan Shao fighting non-stop, if Yuan Shao makes a big move, it will be difficult for Liu Mang to keep Taiyuan.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo will definitely find a way to not only let Liu Mang and Yuan Shao contain each other and consume each other, but also try to prevent Yuan Shao from swallowing Liu Mang quickly.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo regarded himself as the pillar of the imperial court after all. Although he hopes in his heart that the world will be as chaotic as possible, in order to win the hearts of the people, he must also say some high-sounding words, at least to make a show.
Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji analyzed, and Dong Zhuo would come forward.
But Liu Mang still couldn't understand. "Yuan Shao is the leader of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo came forward, will Yuan Shao buy it?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo came forward, of course Yuan Benchu would not give him face." However, Dong Zhuo can use the mouths of other important ministers in the DPRK and China to facilitate this matter. For example, Prince Situ. ”
"Prince Wang Yun?" Liu Mang not only thought of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Searching for the vague memories in his mind, Wang Yun should be planning a series of plans to divide Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu now!
Liu Mang was a little distracted......
Liu Mang smiled apologetically. "Ah, Mr. Changsun, you go on."
According to the analysis of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Yun is the third prince of Situ, who is upright and has great influence in the court and everywhere. It is most appropriate for him to intercede.
An important point, Wang Yun's hometown is Qi County, Taiyuan.
Liu Mang quickly captured Taiyuan, and Qi County suffered a catastrophe. From the perspective of inner feelings, Wang Yun must not want to see Qi County suffer from the scourge of swords again.
"Good! I will write to Mr. Jia Liang and ask him to operate this matter in the capital. ”
In the past, in Youzhou, Wu Yong was in charge of the affairs of the state office. This time he went to Chang'an, and Liu Mang asked him to stay there for the purpose of contacting all parties. Liu Mang pondered, when Taiyuan stabilized, he would set up a "Beijing Office" in Chang'an, and Wu Yong would be the best candidate.
After listening to the opinions of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Yan, Liu Mang was more than ninety percent sure of resolving the conflict with Yuan Shao.
There is a grasp, but it will take time to solve the problem.
During this time, in order to prevent accidents, Liu Mang decided to be stationed in Yangqu in order to deal with the problems of Jingcheng and Jinyang in a timely manner.
Jinyang's affairs depend more on the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Yan.
Li Yan is close to the people. Liu Mang instructed him to take time to run around the countryside more often to understand the voice and public opinion of the people.
Liu Mang also specially instructed Li Yan, the Red Lady and Qiao Ji that they wanted to engage in opera, which was very important. Taiyuan is initially decided, and public opinion propaganda is needed. Li Yan wants to take care of them well, arrange some songs with positive and healthy content, that is, correct three views, and sing them among the people.
The eldest grandson Wuji has experience and sits in Jinyang, so there is no need to ask too much.
Liu Mang just asked the eldest grandson Wuji to write down the situation of the main officials in Youzhou. When Li Hongzhang passed by Jinyang, he handed it over to him, so that he could go to Youzhou to lobby Liu Yu.
"One more thing. Taiyuan was initially decided, and the next step was to vigorously develop Taiyuan County. We don't have a lot of talent, especially in the construction category. Jinyang is a big city in Bingzhou, and Mr. Changsun pays more attention to recruiting talents. ”
"It's too reassuring."
After the negotiation was over, the army was about to set off and continue on its way.
The eldest grandson Wuji waited for Li Yan to leave, and there were no idle people around, so he whispered to Liu Mang: "There is one more thing, if you want to be too conservative, it is related to Xiaoyi's ......."
"Oh?" Liu Mang was shocked, wouldn't it be like Shi Qian said? Yan Qing can't really have a problem, right?
