Liu Jian and Yuan Shao can be said to have made great efforts in intelligence work, but compared with strength and financial resources, Liu Jian has more resources and wealth.

Therefore, his investment in intelligence is more and more comprehensive than Yuan Shao's, and the results he receives are naturally different.

In ancient times, don't underestimate the time difference in the transmission of intelligence, although the speed of intelligence transmission is relatively slow, but sometimes it is only two or three days late, which may lead to a major deviation between the overall situation and the war situation.

The information about Jingzhou was transmitted to Chengdu as quickly as possible.

Although Yizhou has experienced some wars in recent years, the overall degree of war is not very serious compared with the Central Plains.

Therefore, sorting out the livelihood of Yizhou is not a particularly difficult thing for Liu Jian.

As long as Yuan Shao breathed, he could launch a large-scale attack on Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu shook his head heavily: "What's the use of seizing Yuan Shang's power?" “

Yuan Tan was very dissatisfied when he learned that Yuan Shao had decided to let Yuan Shang inherit Jingzhou's inheritance.

"I mean, when your father is seriously ill, first take away his power, and then make you the lord of Jingzhou in your father's name, so that you are right! Only then can you let those heroes and nobles in Jingzhou support you willingly. ”

Liu Zhang was temporarily left in Yizhou by him, responsible for strengthening the liaison between the southern and central departments.

After Yuan Shu saw Yuan Shao last time, he knew that his mind was unchangeable.

Yuan Shao is so fragile?

However, he was soon relieved.

He knew that the current situation was not suitable for a large-scale reform of the families in Yizhou, and there was no need to immediately introduce the new policy to Yizhou, because now Yizhou was very important to his overall strategy.

Now that Yuan Yi has surrendered, Yuan Shao is seriously ill with vomiting blood, and the so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Liu Jian feels that in the current situation, it is more in line with the situation to go all out and take Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

"It doesn't matter if the people of Jingzhou surrender to the north."

Yuan Shu's words really scared Yuan Tan.

"Yes, if we want everything to go our way, the only way to do it is to find a way to seize power."

Changing to himself, from Yuan Shao's point of view, I am afraid that there is no way to accept this cruel truth.

But after all these years of accumulation, the hard power in Liu Jian's jurisdiction began to grow exponentially.

Moreover, the transfer of power of the Yuan family will inevitably cause some problems.

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Yes, seize power." ”

Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "No, you are not killing your father, you are just acting on behalf of your father, your father is already delirious, you stand up at this time, not only is it not unfilial, but it is a great filial piety!" ”

Because the original situation was that his strength was not accumulated enough.

Then it is better to wait for Yuan Shaozhen to die before launching a general attack.

As soon as these words came out, I saw that Yuan Tan's face suddenly turned blue, and the green tendons were beating back and forth on his forehead.

"If your father passed on the foundation to Yuan Shang before he died, then for you, you will win the power of Jingzhou in the future, and it will not be good for you."

The effects of his new policies are becoming more pronounced every year.

In the case of doubling these strengths, Liu Jian's confidence has become more and more sufficient.

"Uncle, you're talking about...... Seizure of power? ”

……

On Xiangyang's side, Zhao Yun got the military order and did not act in a hurry, but the Yuan family's interior had actually begun to be chaotic.

In this situation, if Liu Jian's way of doing things in the past is followed, he will definitely stabilize the situation in Shuzhong first, slowly exert his benevolent government in Yizhou, and then slowly put pressure on Jingzhou after Yizhou is rich, and crush Yuan Shao with absolute strength.

The main reason for their chaos was that if Yuan Shao died, Jingzhou would not be able to resist the attack from the north.

Many people have begun to secretly contact the ministers of Chang'an, hoping to get good treatment after Jingzhou is breached.

But right now, not only Liu Jian is waiting for Yuan Shao to breathe, but his son Yuan Shang and a group of courtiers in Jingzhou are also waiting.

"Take the power of Yuan Shang?"

Since the news from Jingzhou is that Yuan Shao is currently seriously ill.

"Remember, we can only inherit Jingzhou in the name of righteousness, and we must not become traitors who split your father's inheritance."

If he can quickly take Jingzhou, Jiangdong Cao Cao will also be in his pocket sooner or later.

If your own army wants to take the opportunity to take Jingzhou, it can be said to be a sweeping trend.

Yuan Tan said with some doubts: "The seizure of power in my uncle's mouth, is it necessary to wait for my father to die before seizing power?" ”

"The two sides have been a grudge for many years, and life and death are incompatible."

"Uncle, if I act like this, will the people of the world say that I am not filial?"

"After all, he was my brother, so how could I do anything to him?"

His style of doing things began to change gradually.

Liu Jian was not in a hurry to let Zhao Yun attack.

To be honest, although Yuan Tan was worried about his father's position, he never thought that he would compete with his father when Yuan Shao was alive.

Yuan Shao died, and the morale of the entire Jingzhou would inevitably plummet.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu let out a long sigh and said, "Nephew, how can I be willing to do this? ”

Yuan Tan frowned when he heard this.

The key is how to deal with these heroes in Yizhou!

"At this time, as long as we can control your father's official residence and the pastoral office, get his seal, and then hold him hostage, so that he can live for his old age and send him to his death, and order in his name to subdue the people of Jingzhou and take all military power...... This is the best result for Jingzhou, and it is also the best result for your father! Nephew, don't hesitate at this time. ”

Seeing Yuan Tan swallow a mouthful of foam lightly, he said cautiously: "Uncle, don't we have any other way?" ”

By that time, Jingzhou was too busy to take care of itself, and civil strife was frequent.

The reform of Yizhou is not difficult for Liu Jian, he only needs to arrange his descendants in several key places in Yizhou, so as not to isolate Yizhou from the outside world, so that Shuzhong and the Central Plains maintain close contact, so that when the world is stable in the future, he can rectify Shuzhong at any time.

But that's what he did before.

Therefore, Liu Jian is now waiting for Yuan Shao to breathe!

Hear it clearly, it's "prepare to go south", not "go south immediately".

There is nothing to question about this situation now, Yuan Yi's surrender has too much impact on Yuan Shao, and the fall of Yizhou can be said to have made Yuan Shao's strategic dream of dominating the world completely empty.

It was at this time that Zhao Yun's messenger came to Chengdu and explained the current situation in Xiangyang to Liu Jianyu.

"If the position of the lord of Jingzhou really falls into the hands of Yuan Shang, then the power of Jingzhou will inevitably fall to the other families, and these people will hold Yuan Shang hostage to govern Jingzhou in the future, maybe when they will turn to surrender to the Liu clan in the north."

"My father and Liu Jian are different enemies."

Yuan Shu's face was extremely gloomy.

After Liu Jian heard that Yuan Shao vomited blood in public, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Liu Jian re-established his official position in Yizhou, and the local heroes all got good positions, which was a temporary coping strategy made by Liu Jian in order to appease them.

"It's just that now that he's sick and delirious, he's going to hand over the inheritance to a child who is less than twenty years old, isn't it clear that all of our Yuan family members will jump into the fire pit?"

"Under such circumstances, it is our Yuan family who surrenders to the north and turns around and is destroyed! Uncle! ”

So, Liu Jian gave Zhao Yun of Xinye an order to quickly assemble a large army and prepare to go south.

Yuan Tan listened to Uncle Yuan's words and couldn't help but be stunned.

But among these people, the person who really messed up was Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, and his good brother Yuan Shu.

"At that time, you will only be a rebellious thief, a thief who will rob your brother of his inheritance! The people of Jingzhou, how can they be convinced? ”

As for how to deal with Haoqiang, Liu Jian has had quite a lot of experience over the years.

He truthfully relayed this matter to Yuan Tan.

He also knows that the current situation has reached a very serious point.

"In that case, we won't have a way to live!"

Of course, these people are still loyal ministers of Jingzhou on the surface, and they are still actively handling Jingzhou's official affairs, assisting Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang.

And taking advantage of this time, Liu Jian can also be in Yizhou, prepare soldiers, replenish grain and grass, and then go straight down the Yangtze River to attack Jingzhou's left flank.

"Uncle, in your opinion, what should we do now? Could it really be that the power fell into the hands of Yuan Shang? ”

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Tan and said: "It's not nothing, you can work under Yuan Shang with peace of mind, obey his command, serve him on the battlefield, and make contributions, this is also a stable method, at least you can live in Jingzhou." ”

"Therefore, only in this way can you keep your father and the Yuan family!"

"Okay, uncle, then how we should behave, and ask my uncle for advice!"
