Chapter 520, Hua Xin surrendered
Yuzhang County is very large, and the big thing here refers not only to the size of the place, but also to the size of the population. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuzhang is large, and Yangzhou will be comparable; There are many natural people in the land, Yuzhang has 21 cities (county, yi, houguo), according to the record of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, during the Yongyonghe period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuzhang has "406,496 households, 1,668,906 mouths", nearly 1.67 million people, even if it is not as good as Nanyang and Runan, it is definitely the existence of the top five, in the south, only Wu County has not been separated from the Huiji can be compared with it. And now, Yuzhang is definitely one of the largest counties in Jiangdong.
So whether it was Yuan Shu or Liu Biao, they both wanted to occupy this place, but for some reason, they couldn't let go of their hands and feet, which gave Liu Feng a chance.
Although there are many people in Yuzhang, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that the style of writing is not prosperous, and there is no great family in the entire Yuzhang County, nor has there been any celebrities, the most recent one is the Xu Ruzi praised by Wang Bo in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", which has been decades ago. Throughout the nearly 100-year history of the Three Kingdoms, except for a few leaders who raised troops to resist Eastern Wu, Yuzhang really did not produce any talents.
Yuzhang did not have a big family that could dominate the whole county, and the counties were controlled by local landlords, but in each county, most of them were not dominant, but at least a few powerful people, and there were many people, and there were many things, and they were mutually restricted, and each family could not surpass other families.
This is the current situation of Yuzhang, and it is also the reason why Huaxin can sit firmly in Diaoyutai here. Because these big clans are not harmonious with each other, there are many contradictions, and a single one or two cannot pose a threat to Hua Xin, so his life is still very nourishing. Of course, this is only about him, if he really wants to do something, the whole county will unite to oppose it, so that he knows who is the master of Yuzhang.
This is the information that Liu Feng collected before entering Yuzhang, and he had read it many times along the way, and his head was muddy and very uncomfortable. This Yuzhang gave him the feeling that it was a plate of scattered sand, and it was impossible to solve it as soon as possible, and it still needed to be attacked county by county, even if Hua Xin really surrendered, he couldn't affect these people too much.
"Lord, Hua Taishou invites the lord to the banquet." In the afternoon, Liu Feng was chatting with Xun You Zhang Hong, talking about the situation of Yuzhang, and Dian Wei came in and said.
"It's finally here, I'm in a hurry, let's go, let's go have a big meal." Liu Feng said to the two.
This has been decided a long time ago, and Xun You and the others are not surprised, under the protection of Dian Wei and his people, they entered the Taishou Mansion all the way.
The dinner was still very harmonious, chatting about trivial matters, and it was not until after the end that Hua Xin met with Liu Feng and others alone.
"Mr. Ziyu, you are too enthusiastic." Seeing that there were no outsiders, Liu Feng called Hua Xin's word to show his closeness.
"The general dares to take the risk to come to Yuzhang, this is a trust in the old man, the old man is very happy, but he can only do this, and he really can't do anything else." Hua Xin said.
"Mr. Ziyu, let's get straight to the point!" Liu Feng no longer detoured, "Presumably Mr. Ziyu has already guessed my intention, but I still want to ask, is Mr. Ziyu willing to come to serve under me?" I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I won't let Mr. Ziyu's talent be wasted. ”
"The general can come in person, it is to give the old man face, it is said that the old man should not have any more demands, but the general also knows that in Yuzhang, there are very few places that the old man can control, even if the old man is willing to submit, it will not be of much help to the general to enter Yuzhang." Hua Xin said.
"Mr. Ziyu is too humble and underestimates his status in the minds of the people of Yuzhang." Liu Feng smiled, you can leave nothing else at once, as long as Hua Xin is willing to surrender, "It is true that those big clans may be able to ignore the attitude of Taishou, but those civilians, it is the majority who follow Taishou." After all, although the imperial court is in trouble, this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty. For the common people, Taishou represents the Son of Heaven, and his decision will not be wrong. ”
"So, Mr. Ziyu, your attitude is very important, this is related to the question of whether I can get the support of the people when I win Yuzhang, I hope you can understand. It is inevitable to enter the army, and I have no illusion that I can easily receive the whole county after getting your support, but that also needs to be after you make a statement. Liu Feng said.
Since his family understands his own family affairs, Hua Xin arrived alone, although he has been in office for several years, there is no one available, and he controls only nearly half of the soldiers and horses in the county town of Nanchang, and the rest are controlled by the big clan. He could only guarantee that after he changed his banner from a vassal of the Han Dynasty to a vassal of Liu Feng, the county soldiers in Nanchang City would not rise up to oppose it, and as for the other counties and major families, he could not do anything.
"Does the general know that Liu Jingzhou once sent someone to persuade me to throw myself to his side?" After thinking about it, Hua Xin asked.
"Of course I know, the disappearance of the colt has something to do with it, so what?" Liu Feng didn't care about this.
When the horse disappeared, the eldest princess begged for help from Liu Feng, and then Tai Shi Ci led troops into Jianchang, and then Tai Shi Ci used this as a basis to rapidly develop his strength, Hua Xin let it go, and was faintly partial. Liu Feng dared to come to Yuzhang in person, and Hua Xin's tendency was also one of the important reasons.
Of course, in addition to Tai Shici's entry into Jianchang, Liu Feng also launched a large number of players to explore Liu Biaojun's movements. Obviously, the player is pervasive, and after paying a lot of money, he finally made it clear that during this period, an army returned to Xiangyang from Yuzhang, and it was determined that Liu Biao was responsible for the incident. But Liu Feng didn't say anything, now he and Liu Biao didn't tear their faces, they were safe, once they were really exposed, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Liu Biao will definitely not admit it, and maybe even kill the horse directly in order to destroy the evidence. Liu Feng also doesn't have this fantasy, but it is not what he wants to go to war to welcome back the horses, not to mention the huge consumption, it will also cheapen others, which is not good for his own development; Ignore it, and it seems that you have no conscience, so you just pretend not to know.
Maybe the eldest princess had already guessed it, but he didn't make any more requests to Liu Feng, so he took the two children to stay in the princess's mansion, and handed over all the affairs to the people sent by Liu Feng.
"Or the old man has already thrown himself into Jingzhou, and the general is not afraid that the old man will deliberately do this and deceive the general to come here? After all, the old man's reputation is not very good. Hua Xin asked deliberately.
"As the so-called 'Tao is different and does not conspire with each other', it is just a personal choice, how many sentient beings, who are truly beyond the outside of things? Even if I was cut off by someone, I can still trust the reputation of Huaziyu. Of course, Liu Feng knew that Hua Xin's so-called "bad reputation" was a matter of Guan Ning's severance of diplomatic relations.
"I didn't expect that only today would anyone understand me. The old man just didn't want to waste what he had learned in the book, so he actively entered the office and wanted to do something. Hua Xin sighed.
"If you had come into contact with the players earlier, you would have met countless 'bosom friends' long ago." Liu Feng smiled secretly in his heart.
"To tell you the truth, the general, the big clan of Yuzhang County, a large part of them are dissatisfied with the policies implemented under the general's rule, so they actively contact Liu Biao. Although I don't know how many people there are, I believe that most of the big clans mean this. Hua Xin confessed, "There is also a part of them who want to maintain the status quo, both hostile to the general and rejecting Liu Biao, these people will be the biggest obstacle to the general's entry into Yuzhang." There is also a part of the attitude of indifference, which does not care who can get Yuzhang, it can be regarded as a neutral attitude, and only a very small part welcomes the arrival of the general. ”
"Hmm!" Liu Feng nodded as he listened, and when he saw Hua Xin finish speaking, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Doesn't anyone want Yuan Shu to come?" ”
"Even if there is, then Yuan Shu must be willing to come!" Hua Xin said with a mocking face, "People's ambitions are great, the goal is Qingxu Yanji, where will you look at this barren land!" ”
Isn't this just occupying the pit and not? Liu Feng slandered in his heart, maybe he couldn't even talk about "occupying", even if I didn't go up, I wouldn't let you go. Think about history, Yuan Shu really didn't send troops to Jiangdong, but he once lined up in Danyang and Yuzhang, but he didn't stay long.
In the game, it is obviously more complicated, Yuan Shu is staying in Jiangbei, and even if Liu Biao covets Yuzhang again, he does not dare to send troops to occupy it, so as not to make Yuan Shu feel that he has lost face. That is, Liu Feng, a person with no background, can sweep Jiangdong with the connivance of Yuan Shu, otherwise he will really change the little overlord in history, and I don't know what will happen in the game!
"Yuzhang doesn't have a family, and those big clans are just a little horizontal in this county, and they are no longer in Yuan Shu's eyes, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to speak, so he won't care about here." Hua Xin continued, "If one day Yuzhang has an accident, he will not hesitate to send a Taishou over. ”
"Okay, I know all this, so I don't know if Mr. Ziyu is willing to throw himself on the Jiangdong side?" Seeing that the topic was a little off, Liu Feng pulled it back.
"Does the general think that he will definitely be able to win Yuzhang?" Hua Xin asked. He pondered the risks of his move.
"General Ben has confidence in the soldiers under his command, but what has not happened, no one dares to guarantee it, there will always be risks, it depends on how Mr. Ziyu chooses." A playful smile leaked from the corner of Liu Feng's mouth.
Hua Xin is capable, and Liu Feng can understand his choice, but Hua Xin can also be regarded as a speculator, when he was in Jiangdong, he was trusted by Sun Ce's brothers, and when he arrived in Xuchang, he could also get the trust of Cao Cao's father and son, and he rose all the way, and even helped Cao Pi usurp the Han, which is enough to explain the problem. For this kind of person, Liu Feng will use it, but he also has to suppress his careful thinking. Hua Xin is biased towards Liu Feng, but definitely not too much, because he has doubts about Liu Feng's strength. Liu Feng's move was to force him to make a choice.
Hua Xin's face was expressionless, and he kept thinking in his heart. He is a smart person, and of course he can see Liu Feng's intentions. Quietly, he weighed the pros and cons.
"My subordinates meet my lord." After a long time, Hua Xin finally made a decision and got up to salute Liu Feng.
"Mr. Ziyu is polite, we will be a family in the future, so there is no need to be polite." Liu Feng said with a smile, and his heart blossomed.
