Liu Jian's fooling and brainwashing are useless for some people who have no ambition.

But for heroes like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it's very useful!

It's not because these two people are so foolish, but because their ambition and pride and Liu Jian have always been on the same channel.

What is the most precious thing in this life?

It's about meeting people who share your own interests!

If it is replaced by a mediocre person and a short-minded person, Liu Jian can no longer speak, no matter how foolish, it will not play the slightest role in those people.

In short, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were infected by Liu Jian's ambition.

Yes, who stipulated that the northern border of the Han Dynasty should always be bounded by Youzhou and Bingzhou?

Of course, before Liu Jian bragged with these two brothers, it was also well thought out.

Some words are blown out of the mouth, but if they are to be realized, they cannot be achieved by just saying them.

Expanding the territory is what every person who has achieved great things in history wants to do.

However, we cannot blindly develop our territory.

First of all, the territory must be effective land.

In ancient times, when industrial technology was not strong, the plain land was the most coveted by the ancient kings.

Abundant water and grass, suitable for farming, easy to walk, and able to open up good roads, such land is worthy of war or political conquest.

Similar to mountainous areas and deserts or poorly developed land, in ancient times this person had no value to be requisitioned.

Of course, this is also limited by the scale of productivity.

Technologically backward agrarian countries are unlikely to be able to do as much as possible in terms of land demand.

On the land of Liangzhou, because there were too many wars, it affected the finances of the center, which made the Han court want to give up Liangzhou several times.

From Liu Jian's point of view, with his understanding of the world and history, Liu Jian naturally wanted to expand the power of the Han nation to any corner of the world.

But he can't expand blindly.

In his view, if the land is to be expanded, it is either because the population is expanding and the surplus population is relocated, or the excess productivity is relocated.

In short, it only makes sense for a country and its people to expand outwards if they have achieved a healthy function.

If you want to expand the scale and strength of the country's operation, it is natural to develop a variety of new industry models, and at the same time find ways to develop various technologies, expand domestic demand while vigorously exploiting various geological and mineral resources, and improve the overall living standards of the people of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, from another point of view, if Hebei's commerce, economy, and technology can be developed into the leading Han Dynasty, far surpassing Sili and Guanzhong...... In this way, Youzhou has become the economic center of gravity of the Han Dynasty, so for the Han Empire, Youzhou is very inappropriate as a border county of the dynasty.

As the center of gravity of the economy and industry, it is naturally located in the interior of the country, which is in line with a country's strategic concept.

At that time, expanding the strategic depth of Youzhou to the north is also an extremely necessary security policy for a country.

Of course, even with foreign expansion, Liu Jian did not plan to expand the territory of the Han Empire by embezzling land.

For the radiant energy under the jurisdiction of the emperor in this era, it is also a huge burden for the central government to have too much territory.

So at this time, the advantage of the traverser is revealed.

Only by adopting a colonial strategy can the culture, influence, technological ability, and commercial ability of the Han people penetrate into every region around the Han Dynasty.

On the premise of occupying absolute superiority, the productive forces of other ethnic groups were used to consolidate the vigorous development of the Han Dynasty itself.

To put it simply, it is a bloodsucking policy.

There is no so-called humanity or inhumanity, if you don't colonize other places, will other peoples let you go after a few hundred years of time, when they have the opportunity to surpass you?

Nature's laws of competition are just that.

And, to a certain extent, colonial policy can also divert the attention of these powerful families of the Han Dynasty from the outside world.

Even if the new policy is fully implemented, who knows if it will appear in a hundred years? Will a huge monopoly similar to that of the Valve Read appear in another way?

Every dynasty in history has developed to a certain extent, and once it reaches a bottleneck, the intensity of blood sucking will increase, and it is the ordinary people of China who suffer as a result.

Class has existed since the beginning of the development of human society, and it cannot be eliminated at all...... Crushing is present all the time.

Since the oppression between human beings is always present and cannot be eliminated, why can't this squeeze be transferred from the inside to the outside?

From Liu Jian's perspective and ability, this may also be the only thing he can do in his life.

After Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, Youzhou and Jizhou did not have no action.

Lu Zhi, as the pastoral envoy of Northern Jizhou, arranged his troops and horses on the northern front line of Jizhou, and closely watched the movements of Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun are actually fine, Lu Zhi's main guard is Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi.

Although the Wuhuan people have been attached to the Han Dynasty for all these years, they are grassland nomads after all.

They are the same as Xianbei, they are unreasonable in terms of ferocity and good killing, they are no worse than Xianbei people.

It's just that the strength of the Wuhuan people is far inferior to Xianbei, so they are attached to the Han Dynasty.

They used the Han Dynasty as a barrier to fight against the Xianbei people on the grassland.

Once the Han Dynasty is weakened, who dares to guarantee that the Wuhuan people will not turn around and take a bite of the Han Dynasty?

Therefore, Lu Zhi did not dare to take the Wuhuan people lightly.

In addition, in the western border of Youzhou, the forces that wanted to resist Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were basically wiped out or absorbed, but only one person could still fight against Erzhang.

At the same time, Erzhang had no way to take him in Youzhou.

This person is Huang Zhong, the captain of Wuhuan.

When Huang Zhong was appointed as the captain of Wuhuan at that time, he was reminded by Liu Jian, asking him to pay special attention to the situation of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.

If it were someone else, Liu Jian's words might not be true.

But Huang Zhong has extreme trust in Liu Jian, and it can even be said that he is extremely blind worship.

I don't know when Huang Zhong actually had such a sense of trust in Liu Jian.

In short, since he arrived in Youzhou, Huang Zhong followed Liu Jian's instructions and met Jian Yong first.

Subsequently, with the help and coordination of Jian Yongyong, Huang Zhong took the two young men back from their arms in Youzhou.

It just so happened that both of these young men were surnamed Tian.

One is called Tian Yu and the other is called Tian Chou.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, and traveled back and forth between Yuyang and Liaoxi and other places, and the heroes who had a deep friendship with the Zhang family gathered to rely on each other.

Suddenly, Erzhang's rebellion was so strong that it could almost be transmitted to the desert.

Coupled with Qiu Liju's assistance, almost everyone thought that Youzhou was completely finished at this moment.

But what I never expected was that Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju, who were invincible in this rebellion, ate turtles here at Huang Zhong, the captain of Huwuhuan.

Huang Zhong has been training his men and horses during this time, and the Hebei Business and Trade Association, represented by the Liu family of Zhuojun, has also secretly supplied Huang Zhong with a lot of goods.

Huang Zhong relied on these wealth. Recruited a lot of Wuhuan Raiders to use for their own training.

At the same time, many strong Han troops were recruited in Youzhou.

The so-called soldiers are not many, but fine.

The army in Huang Zhong's hands is the elite of the elite.

Although they were small in number, under the command of Huang Zhong, they were brave and good at fighting and invincible.

In particular, there are Tian Yu and Tian Chou, two people who can speak well and at the same time are strategic, among the families, they lobbied back and forth, relying on their ability and charisma, to many of the local wavering families in Youzhou, so that they can fall to Huang Zhong.

As a result, for a while, the negligent Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others were defeated by Huang Zhong, lost the opportunity, and their morale plummeted for a while.

And Huang Zhong's reputation began to spread among the great tycoons of Youzhou.

Huang Zhong's bravery, and his full preparation, caught Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun by surprise, and the two of them hated Huang Zhong deeply.

Er Zhang originally wanted to recruit men and horses, and concentrated all his efforts to launch a deadly attack on the county where Huang Zhong's army was located, but he never expected that at this time, a heavyweight came to assist Huang Zhong.

This person is the second oldest soldier in Youzhou, second only to Guan Yu's Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan himself made Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun not so terrifying, after all, no matter how strong his combat ability is, there is an upper limit.

The key is the Gongsun family behind him.

Erzhang also knew that the Gongsun family had a great relationship with Liu Jian.

But they still wanted to give it a try and see if they could find a way to draw the Liaoxi Gongsun clan to their side by distributing benefits.
