Chapter 270: Who is in charge of Jizhou
Fang Zhiwen's meeting with the Yuan family is an inevitable thing, just fight sooner or later, and Xu You agreed to meet in Yangxin, Leling, Jizhou, the reason why Yangxin was chosen was because Zhao Yun's troops were nearby, Fang Zhiwen was very jealous of the Yuan family's forces, not to mention, there were many Jizhou clans behind the Yuan family, in case one of them was accidentally ambushed by the people of the Yuan family, it would be a shame.
After making an appointment for the approximate time and place of the meeting, Fang Zhiwen began to ask Xu You for his views on the situation in Jizhou, but Xu You was very tight-mouthed, always shifting the topic to Youzhou and Lelang, and also mentioning the matter of Qingzhou from time to time, which meant that the Qingzhou clan was scattered and easily destroyed by external forces.
Listening to Xu You's meaning, it seems that Fang Zhiwen is recommended to go all out to attack Qingzhou, instead of focusing on Jizhou, it seems that Xu You still doesn't believe Fang Zhiwen's statement, this question is like you ask a wolf if you want to eat sheep, and the wolf says that he only eats his own sheep, and everyone doesn't believe it.
In fact, this problem is the problem of the overall situation, the overall situation of the Yuan family is to destroy the power structure of the Han Liu family, redivide and even take power by themselves, so the pursuit is the unification of the peak of power, and Fang Zhiwen believes that in this game world, it should only exist and continue better in the flames of war.
One pursues unity, the other pursues division, which is completely contrary, with such a contrary point of view, Fang Zhiwen's ideas are naturally difficult to be understood by Yuan's family, and similarly, Xu You, who represents Yuan's point of view, cannot understand, in his opinion, Fang Zhiwen is now carrying the momentum of the great victory of the grassland. Stretch out the branches of your own power, and if you don't limit them, these branches will sooner or later spread throughout the world. and even formed a momentum of annexing the world.
Xu You said goodbye with too much alcohol, in fact, because Fang Zhiwen stared at Xu You and asked about the layout of the Yuan family in Jizhou, Xu You couldn't say, so it was better to escape naturally.
"Ji Jue, what do you think of this muddy water in Jizhou?"
Cui Yan gently stroked the beard on his chin that was not long, and said thoughtfully: "My lord, Jizhou has always been a rich place in Hebei. The family of Jizhou is also divided into several interest groups, the family system headed by the Han family in the southwest, the big family system headed by the Zhang family in the southeast, and the family system dominated by the small family in the northwest, the Yuan family. It was from Leling and Bohai that gradually gained a foothold in Jizhou. To a certain extent, the development of Leling and Bohai has a lot to do with the Yuan family. ”
Fang Zhiwen leaned forward with interest. Asked: "Oh, then there are at least four relatively large power groups in Jizhou. ”
Cui Yan shook his head: "This is before, but in the last two years." The rivalry in the court is becoming increasingly fierce, the royal power has subsided, and the situation in Jizhou is actually inseparable from the situation in the court, so the forces in Jizhou are likely to have been re-divided and reorganized, with the Bohai Yuan clan, the Qinghe Zhang clan, and the Yecheng Han clan as the main ones. Due to the fact that the Zhang family has not been in the court well over the years, they are mostly maintained by their in-laws. And there is a sign of division, it is already a sign of the waning mountains, so the overall situation of Jizhou should be dominated by the Han family and the Yuan family, in addition, the large and small families who were originally loyal to the royal family have gradually disappeared, which is very strange. ”
Fang Zhiwen pondered for a while, and then said, "Has Ji Jue ever heard of Taiping Dao? ”
Cui Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "I have heard that Taiping Dao was created by the Julu Zhang brothers, taking advantage of the ignorance of the homeless people, practicing medicine with Fu Shui, claiming to be a great sage and good teacher, a great doctor, practicing Taiping, taking Taiping Qing Lingdao as a holy scripture, preaching relatives and friendliness, equality and mutual assistance, and there are quite a few believers among the extremely poor people, but why did the adults talk about this?" ”
Fang Zhiwen hesitated for a moment and said, "If there are hundreds of thousands of believers in this Taiping Dao, what does Ji Qi think?" ”
Cui Yan was frightened and shocked, but Cui Yan's qi cultivation skills were good, and he didn't show any panicked looks, but the expression on his face was extremely serious, obviously this news scared him.
The reason why Fang Zhiwen's words were not blocked by the system was because this situation was completely true, and it was a figure calculated after relying on the Zhen family's intelligence network to conduct a certain investigation.
Who knew that when it came to the data summary, Zhen Jiang was taken aback by this fact after a rough calculation, hundreds of thousands of believers, once they had an attack, they couldn't imagine it, because Zhen Jiang was not a big lady who couldn't go out of the door, she had a very clear understanding of the bureaucratic status quo of the Han Dynasty.
If the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty is healthy, then these hundreds of thousands of believers are just a mess, but now the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty has been completely corrupted, and most of the local officials are selling their official positions, and they are becoming officials just to make money, which is already a fact known to the entire Han people, and this kind of bureaucratic system is simply not enough to deal with the situation, and any spark ignited may lead to the collapse of the entire system.
Cui Yan's insight and intelligence are naturally no worse than Zhen Jiang, and the conclusions that Zhen Jiang can draw, Cui Yan can naturally figure out, and even determine the meaning contained in this news faster.
Moreover, Cui Yan thought more, that's why his face was so ugly, no matter what, as a big Han people, he still has feelings for the royal family, and the idea of loyalty and patriotism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of scholars, although he is angry, but no one wants to watch the big man collapse like this.
In a practical sense, the collapse of a unified regime represents the coming of troubled times, the so-called rather than a peaceful dog, not a chaotic person, the troubled times or something is definitely a terrible world that you can tremble when you hear it, and only players who live in a peaceful society will shout about war or something, in fact, the real troubled times are coming, it is estimated that they are wilted, and Cui Yan now has a feeling of wilting.
Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family.
Now that the emperor's family is gone, what is the use of this body's literary and martial arts? Is it really that easy to choose the Lord and open the heavens and the earth? One wrong step is the destruction of the nine clans!
Fang Zhiwen looked at the change in Cui Yan's face, and truly realized that in a great era that was about to collapse, these people, literati and warriors, vested interests, etc., had to face a severe and heavy choice in their hearts, this heaviness has reached an unbearable level, in the face of repeated changes in heaven and earth, who can handle it calmly!?
Fang Zhiwen doesn't believe that such a person exists, so at this moment, Fang Zhiwen seems to have truly integrated into this big era, such a big era full of choices, full of catastrophes, full of opportunities, and full of blood and sorrow!
At this moment, Fang Zhiwen suddenly understood why in this great era, so many great people and great wisdom have emerged in the land of China, leaving many immortal legends that can be sung and cried, because this is an era of struggle for survival, everyone has done their best, burst out of their 120% ability, squeezed out their last bit of strength, struggled desperately, desperately climbed upward, killed each other, collided with dazzling sparks, and left a sound that resounded through the world. The weak will be ruthlessly eliminated here, and the strong will rule the world, this is a world that only recognizes strength, and this is the essence of the battle for survival!
The pensive Cui Yan was suddenly awakened by an invisible storm, as if a hurricane swept by, Cui Yan only felt that his body was cold and abnormal, and there seemed to be a thousand catties of boulders in his heart, no, as if the whole world was pressed down, the world in his eyes slowly dimmed, and there was a heavy bloody breath from the end of his nose, as if he had come to a battlefield full of corpses and rivers of blood, desolate, sad, distant and majestic, as if infected by that tragic atmosphere, Cui Yan slowly straightened his waist, and the cowardice in his chest dissipated and his arrogance suddenly appeared, Suddenly, there was an urge to look up to the sky and roar, heaven and earth repeatedly, lifting the three-foot sword to build immortal feats! That's how it should be!
Suddenly, his mind shook, and the vision reappeared, it was still the teahouse of the teahouse, Fang Zhiwen on the opposite side sat as usual, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were clear and profound, as if he had seen through everything in the world, and had seen through the state of the world and people's hearts, Cui Yan suddenly had a feeling in his heart, maybe the person in front of him should be a master worthy of his own life, and the three-foot sword built an immortal feat! When you choose someone to do it, maybe you can't escape and deceive yourself anymore, you should really think about it.
"If you know about it, I'm afraid there are a lot of people who know about it, right? But why hasn't anyone reported it? ”
Fang Zhiwen shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's already very difficult to control, not to mention, there may not be no one behind the Taiping Dao, otherwise how can it get to the point where it is now, it may be just a chess game to compete for the world's heavy position in Jizhou, who knows that the chess pieces are getting bigger and bigger, and the tail is too big to fall, and the outsiders on the other side may not have the idea of raising their own respect, and it should be the local clan of Jizhou who will be damaged in the end." ”
"My lord is saying that Taiping Dao has the support of the royal family behind it, and it was originally a killer cultivated by the royal family with the intention of destroying the intertwined clan in Jizhou, who knew that the killer lost control and became bigger and bigger, and the royal family was afraid of affecting the overall situation, and the local clan in Jizhou was not enough to fight against the Taiping Dao with royal support, so the Yuan family was introduced as an external force, and the Yuan family in turn raised their own respect, gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, and even had a tendency to be famous in Jizhou. Wonderful! Wonderful1
Cui Yan high-fived and praised, and he didn't know if he was appreciating Fang Zhiwen's vision or appreciating the wonderful struggle between these forces in Jizhou.
"Maybe there are more insiders in this, such as the decline of the Zhang family, are there any Yuan family's hands and feet in this, just like the Zhen family was forced away? And why did the royal power die so quickly? Is it intentional or forced, if the royal family intends to withdraw its forces from Jizhou and throw the mess in Jizhou to the foreign relatives and clan groups represented by the Yuan family, then where will the royal family throw out the power to? Is it a relayout around Jizhou, with the intention of causing the Jizhou Rebellion, completely disrupting Jizhou and then ruling it? Or do you want to find another place to prepare for the worst? ”
Fang Zhiwen talked with a flat expression, Cui Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that it was really a stroke of genius to send Cui Lin to Miyun, with such a lord, Miyun Cui's family would definitely shine with dazzling light.
