Guo Jia didn't answer immediately, but asked: "The lord is good friends with Kong Beihai, Cao Yanzhou, Liu Jingzhou, and Liu Yizhou, right?" ”

Liu Yuan nodded: "Exactly." ”

Kong Rong, Cao Ying, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and Liu Yuan all have a close relationship.

Kong Rong is one of the most authoritative representatives of Confucianism, one admires Liu Yuan's talent, and the other has Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and others to take a line from it, and the relationship between the two is indeed good.

Cao Ying and Liu Yuan have known each other for ten years, and they are both extraordinary people, who appreciate and compete with each other, and have a complicated relationship. But overall, it's pretty good.

Liu Biao is a cousin whom Liu Yuan met at Liu Ji's banquet. Liu Biao is generous, although his surname is weaker, but he can still talk with Liu Yuan. There have been frequent correspondence over the years.

As for Liu Yan, he has the deepest relationship with Liu Yuan.

When Liu Yuan first arrived in Youzhou, he received great help from Liu Yan. It can be said that if it were not for the support and help of Liu Ji and Liu Yan at the beginning, Liu Yuan would have to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou, and I am afraid that it would have to be postponed for half a year or a year!

So for Liu Yan, Liu Yuan was very grateful.

These four people have a relationship with Liu Yuan in one way or another, and they don't have any grudges.

"That's fine." Guo Jia nodded and said: "The lord values love and righteousness, and his heart is 'benevolent', so he naturally doesn't want to meet these friends. Why don't you try to surrender and share the wealth? ”

"Surrender?" Liu Yuan frowned, shook his head slowly, and said, "I'm afraid it's unlikely." ”

Although the princes of the Central Plains were afraid of Liu Yuan, because they did not know much about the specific situation of Youzhou, they thought that they still had a chance to defeat Liu Yuan with the advantage of the Central Plains, so they all worked hard to develop. Especially Cao Ying, who is a masterpiece of a generation, if you want him to surrender willingly, it is better to let him die!

Among these people, the easiest to recruit is not Liu Biao, not Liu Yan, but Kong Rong. One is that Kong Rong is reluctant to be an official, and a Beihai Taishou is still reluctant to serve because of the ancestral home of the Kong family, if he can choose, Kong Rong must prefer to be a scholar in Youzhou College rather than an official far away.

As for Liu Biao, he plays a huge role in Jingzhou. Jingzhou is known to be rich and rich, and there are hundreds of thousands of land and water troops under its command, so it is impossible to say that there is no ambition.

Let's talk about Liu Yan. Even if Liu Yan has the heart to fulfill Liu Yuan, what about his son Liu Zhang? What about his courtiers? Definitely not.

"Jia didn't say a surname once, and he completely surrendered it." Guo Jia smiled: "In Jia's opinion, Mr. Wenju is the easiest to join Youzhou, needless to say. ”

Liu Yuan nodded, and Guo Jia agreed with him.

"As for the rest, hehe, it's not a blatant surrender. It's just a matter of strengthening the connection with them. The lord can often invite Cao Mengde, Liu Jingsheng, Liu Yan and Liu Yizhou to come to Youzhou to gather or something, and show them the strength of Youzhou. Isn't that great? ”

"Hey, that makes sense!"

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up.

These people have a deep relationship with Liu Yuan, and it is understandable to invite them to Youzhou to meet.

In this way, firstly, to divide the princes of the Central Plains, so that Yuan Shao and others were disgusted, and they did not dare to have deep friendships with these people, and secondly, to use the strength of Youzhou to imperceptibly consume and hit the ambition of these people, so that they felt that Liu Yuan was invincible from the bottom of their hearts, and in this way, it also laid the foundation for the real surrender!

"That's it!"

"There's another trick to draw salary." Guo Jia continued: "The people of Youzhou are prosperous, healthy and live and work in peace and contentment, and the Central Plains and Jiangnan are simply incomparable. As long as I release some of the policies and conditions in Youzhou a little, I don't believe that the people of the Central Plains will not compete to join each other! ”

"What is the war about? Population! Attract all the people of the Central Plains and see what they can fight! ”

"Hahaha, good plan, good plan!" Liu Yuan laughed and said: "Feng Xiao's plan to solve his worries is really the prince's tooth!" Hahaha"

"Besides, it's time for the lord's shadow son to start, right?" Guo Jia didn't think about it and continued.

"Shadows? Shadows! Hahaha," Liu Yuanchang smiled: "Indeed, it's time for the shadow to start!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Yuan shouted: "Someone is coming." ”

"Spread Ke Xun to see this king!"

In a moment, a tall young man with a tall nose and an extremely majestic figure strode in, looked at Liu Yuan feverishly, and bowed his head.

"Ke Xun greets the lord!"

Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Get up." ”

Ke Xun got up and looked at Liu Yuan as if he was looking at a god, except for fanaticism or fanaticism.

"Ke Xun, this king has something to do with you."

"I am willing to go to the soup for the Lord!"

Ke Yi immediately fell to the ground again.

"Alright, get up." Liu Yuan said: "You have been with this king for more than six years. In the past six years, you have been diligent, hardworking, and have made great progress, and this king has seen it. ”

When Ke Xun heard this, a burst of red tide surged up on his face, and he felt very excited and honored for Liu Yuan's praise.

"Today, this king will make you the general of Shanyue, and take you back to Changsha Shanyue Sixteen Division, as an intermediary between the Shanyue Department and Gan Ning, the Governor of the Water Division. In addition, you must train an army of no less than 20,000 men for the king within three years, and the necessary supplies must be obtained from Gan Ning. Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!"

Ke Yu shouted, and fell to the ground again: "Thank you, lord!" ”

"That's fine. Come! Seal the letter! ”

A moment later, a waiter held a tray and brought up a seal letter from General Yamagoe that had been prepared earlier.

"Print!"

Ke Zhen respectfully stepped forward to take the seal letter and bowed down again.

"Okay, you go down and get a thousand gold, get ready, and set off early tomorrow morning."

"No!"

After Ke Yu left, Guo Jia smiled and said, "This kid is not bad." ”

"Yes." Liu Yuan nodded and said: "In the past few years, there has been great progress in all aspects, especially martial arts, among the two thousand guards of this king, it can be regarded as the middle and upper rank." The most important thing is that this kid is very loyal, and this king likes it very much. ”

The next time, Ke Xun left and went south to Changsha.

And Liu Yuan was preparing to distribute invitations, inviting Cao Ying, Kong Rong and other four people to come to Youzhou for a party.

After sending out the invitation with great fanfare as the king of Yuyang, Liu Yuan received a letter from Heyun Xizhicai.

But it turned out that Heyun Xu Huang broke the Xiongnu coalition army, Huangchang ravaged the territory of the Xiongnu, killed people when he saw them, and Ma Chao gave Wusun a heavy blow in the Western Regions, so that Liu Yuan's prestige was added to the Western Regions again after the destruction of Xianbei. Dozens of countries in the Western Regions were frightened, so they immediately sent a team of envoys, carrying a large number of tributes, to come to see Liu Yuan.

Before the team set off, the envoys from the Western Regions went to Heyun to ask to see Xu Huang and settled the matter, so they set off from the Western Regions with peace of mind and went straight to Yuyang.

So Xi Zhicai sent the news back to Youzhou and asked Liu Yuan to make some preparations.

"All nations come to court, and there is the majesty of the Holy Son of Heaven!"

"The king of Yuyang will surely seize the world and seal Mount Tai!"

Dozens of countries in the Western Regions, together with the defeated Hujie, Jiankun and other countries to come to Yuyang to meet Liu Yuan, soon spread throughout Youzhou.

The most authoritative official newspapers and periodicals such as Youzhou Daily, Yuyang Daily, and Zhuojun Evening News published articles to discuss the matter, and unanimously praised it as a prelude to the arrival of a prosperous era.

Tens of millions of people in Youzhou vied with each other to discuss, and they all agitated.

"Not really! Our Yuyang King is the real Son of Heaven! ”

"Ten years ago, we ate chaff, bark and grass roots, wore rags, and our children and grandchildren were hungry and precarious. It is because of Yuyang King that we have today's happy life! ”

"The King of Yuyang is a god descended from heaven to save thousands of our people!"

"Just like the newspaper said, the king of Yuyang will definitely ascend the dragon throne and seal Mount Tai!"

The people of Youzhou are all jubilant, proud and proud from the heart, and their spiritual outlook has risen to a new level. It was the old woman who walked and was also vigorous. Teenagers are even more proud of it!

In this regard, Liu Yuan laughed in addition to laughing.

A nation, and most importantly, its spiritual outlook.

When the mental outlook is impressive, it can burst out with great strength, even in the face of adversity, it can make a difference.

On the contrary, if the core spirit of the nation is lost, the nation will be at the point of life and death!

"Even when it was as strong as Emperor Xiaowu, there was no such grand event." Zheng Xuan sighed: "The King of Yuyang is really the true son of heaven!" ”

"Cai didn't expect that the original childish child was already famous all over the world, and the world has changed, so it's not like this!" Cai Yong also sighed very.

"It is precisely because of the Yuyang King that our school has a chance to prosper!"

Mo Xun and others were impressed again and again.

The coming of a foreign country invisibly made the hearts of the people of Youzhou rise again, and made the tens of millions of people of the entire Han Dynasty have different thoughts. Youzhou, from a despised barren land, has completely become the center of the world!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yuan slightly spread the various policies and people's living standards in Youzhou to achieve the purpose of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

When the people of the Central Plains heard about it, some dragged their families and wanted to move to Youzhou; Some people despise it, but secretly they are also preparing to migrate. Those wealthy families, princes and lords, are pouring dirty water on Liu Yuan.

It is said that he is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and his ambition is obvious.

Disloyal to the Son of Heaven, unfilial to the ancestors, unkind and righteous to indiscriminately kill innocents, and his ambition to highlight all these things with all the nations to come to the court, he didn't want to make Liu Yuan's reputation stink and set up obstacles for him to go south.

Liu Yuan didn't pay attention to it at all.

For the common people, food and clothing are the most important thing, no matter what you say, starving to death is all empty talk.

One after another, a large number of immigrants crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Jizhou and Bingzhou.

In this regard, Tian Feng and Man Pet get up early and go to bed late all day long, tired like dogs. But the heart is satisfied, and the spirit is high!

The influx of huge immigrants and refugees has injected new vitality into Jizhou and Bingzhou, and the development has been even faster.

Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and other princes along the Yellow River were in a hurry, so they had no choice but to block the ferry to stop this wave of immigration.

Although they can curb the momentum of immigration, their reputation has been greatly stinking.

Cao Ying frowned and sighed all day long.

"Is it true that I, Cao Mengde, am not as good as Liu Zihong?"

Cao Ying muttered to himself.

"Don't lose your faith, lord!" Xu Yu advised: "The lord has occupied Yanzhou for only a few months, the people's will has not yet been stabilized, the policy has not been implemented, and population loss is inevitable. After ten years of development, Youzhou is indeed stronger than the current Yanzhou, and Dayou believes that the lord will be able to catch up with Liu Yuan and conquer the world! ”

When Cao Ying heard this, his spirit couldn't help but perk: "Gongda, fortunately with you, Cao has no worries!" ”
