Chapter 4 Yanzhou's Interests

"The second aspect starts with the Yellow Turban Army."

Chen Zhou sorted out his language for a while, and said: "In fact, the things between Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and Tao Qian are inseparable from the yellow scarf. ”

The analysis of the first aspect involves the Yellow Turban's attack on Yanzhou, and Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, Cao Ang understood it thoroughly, but the second aspect, how is it still related to the Yellow Turban?

"Could it be that in the surrendered yellow scarf, someone is sowing discord?" Cao Ang asked.

"Definitely!"

"Childe, do you still remember, how many people have surrendered to the Yellow Turban?"

Chen Zhou asked rhetorically.

Of course, Cao Ang remembered and blurted out: "More than 300,000 people have died, and there are more than 1 million men and women." ”

"How many people?"

"Many!"

"That's right."

Chen Zhou continued to analyze: "How huge is the number of millions of people? Yanzhou suddenly poured in so many people, can you afford it? ”

Before Cao Ang could respond, Chen Zhou asked himself and replied: "It must be unbearable, Cao Cao wants to recruit so many people, and he must use the resources within Yanzhou, which leads to a conflict of interests, making the distribution of interests in Yanzhou extremely unbalanced, and Zhang Miao They don't want to use their own resources to raise Cao Cao's soldiers." ”

"That's right!"

Cao Ang listened to it and suddenly realized.

Cao Cao secretly thought that there was no way at that time, if the interests of Yanzhou were not moved, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that surrendered would not be used by him, and even cause a rebellion.

"As mentioned in the first aspect, Cao Cao used Yanzhou's roots to fight Xuzhou, which actually belongs to the category of conflict of interest."

"The emergence of anti-Cao sentiment within Yanzhou can be traced back to the time when the Yellow Turban Army surrendered."

"Cao Cao understands military affairs and can fight, and his strength is not weak."

"Another 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were recruited, with full wings, and they were the same within Yanzhou, which not only caused an imbalance in the distribution of interests, but also became the dominant of Yanzhou's interests."

"Zhang Miao and other local scholars must be dominated by Cao Cao."

"Will they be willing?"

Chen Zhou asked again.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be reconciled!"

Cao Ang gradually figured out how much Zhang Miao was under at that time, and how much pressure came from Cao Cao.

was persecuted to this extent, even Cao Ang wanted to do the opposite.

Cao Cao thought that at that time, he only felt that he was a state pastor, holding great power, and doing whatever he wanted, which really lacked consideration for Zhang Miao and them.

If it weren't for overhearing Chen Zhou's analysis, he wouldn't have thought of so many reasons now.

But what didn't happen happened, and it was useless for him to regret it.

"Conflicts of interest, that's not all!"

"Not long after Cao Cao incorporated the Yellow Turban, Yanzhou began to oppose Cao, did the officials within Yanzhou not cooperate with Cao Cao?"

Chen Zhou asked Cao Ang again.

Cao Ang said: "Occasionally, it cooperates, but more often, the yang serves the yin and disobeys. ”

Chen Zhou asked again: "So Cao Cao reuses the Yingchuan clan, right?" ”

Cao Ang nodded, this is the truth.

Since the scholars of Yanzhou did not cooperate, Cao Cao couldn't move them, of course, he used those who were willing to cooperate with him.

"In the second year of the first peace, Xun Yu took his nephew Xun You to join Cao Cao."

"At that time, Cao Cao shouted, this is my ovary."

"Later, Xun Yu recommended Xi Zhicai to Cao Cao."

"In the third year of the first peace, the scribe Zhong Xuan also came to seek refuge in Cao Cao."

"They are all from Yingchuan, Yuzhou."

"Cao Cao's reuse of the Yingchuan Shi clan to govern Yanzhou will weaken the power of the Yanzhou Shi clan in the local area, which is also part of the conflict of interest."

"The conflict of interests between Cao Cao and the Yanzhou scholars, not just this time and twice, many times add up, even if Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are brothers, they can't accept this, betraying Cao Cao is inevitable, and the Yanzhou scholars must join forces to resist in order to protect their own interests."

Chen Zhou said and looked at Cao Ang.

In another modern way, the process of Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou can be regarded as the election of Cao Cao as the legal representative of the Yanzhou Group by various small shareholders of some forces within Yanzhou.

However, Cao Cao was brave and capable, and turned the Yanzhou group into his private company.

Those Yanzhou shareholders were going to be kicked out by Cao Cao one by one, and the shareholders could only rebel if they were not satisfied.

"After listening to Mr.'s words, I actually sympathized with Zhang Miao and them."

Cao Ang sighed.

Chen Zhou hurriedly corrected: "Now the imperial power is falling, the Han family is scattered, the princes are divided, and the world is in chaos. In troubled times, having this kind of sympathetic idea of Our Lady will kill you sooner or later, this is just a normal phenomenon between princes, swallowing each other, and there is no need for sympathy. ”

Cao Ang got up and saluted: "Thank you for the reminder, sir." ”

Cao Cao, who was eavesdropping outside, couldn't help but feel complicated when he heard that Chen Zhou had finished analyzing the second aspect.

If he could recognize these problems in advance, Zhang Miao would not necessarily betray himself.

But he thinks that Chen Zhou is right, sympathy in troubled times will only kill himself, and if you want to be a traitor and a hero, you must be ruthless!

Zhang Miao is dead when he dies, there is no need to sympathize.

"Big brother, when are we going to bring him over?"

Cao Ren admired Chen Zhou more and more, and felt that Chen Zhou was the hope of their Cao family.

"There's no hurry!"

Cao Cao was suspicious, and if he didn't check Chen Zhou clearly, he wouldn't officially win him over, let alone release Chen Zhou.

They soon fell silent again and continued to listen to the conversation.

"Sir, I have one more doubt."

Cao Ang said.

"Say it!"

Chen Zhoudao.

Cao Ang scratched his head and said: "As far as I know, Zhang Miao had a conflict with Yuan Shao as early as when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, and the first time Yuan Shao asked Cao Gong to kill Zhang Miao was at that time. According to Mr.'s analysis, Zhang Miao was first estranged from Cao Gong at that time, but Cao Gong was Yuan Shao's vassal, and Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao were not right, why did he still obey Yuan Shao's arrangement and let Cao Gong enter Yanzhou? To save Yanzhou, Cao Gong is the best choice, but not the only choice, you can also ask for help from the imperial court. ”

Chen Zhou pretended to be angry and said, "Childe put my words behind so quickly? I have analyzed in the first aspect, Cao Cao has the ability, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family are not easy to offend, as for asking for help from the imperial court, it is to seek the near and far, not to mention that the current imperial court still has the ability to save Yanzhou? ”

The Han court itself could not be protected.

"I know I'm wrong!"

It was the first time Cao Ang had seen Mr. angry.

"But what...... You're right to ask this doubt. ”

Chen Zhou thought for a moment and added, "Cao Cao is indeed the best choice, he can resist the yellow scarf. ”

"When Cao Cao raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, there were only 5,000 people around him, and when he reached Yanzhou Mu, there were about seven or eight thousand."

"Zhang Miao didn't stop Cao Cao from entering Yanzhou, in fact, he wanted Cao Cao to lead seven or eight thousand people to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and it was best if Cao Cao could die under the Yellow Turban Army and follow in the footsteps ......of Liu Dai."

After a pause, he said again: "Then Cao Cao is dead, the yellow turban is also disabled, after Yanzhou is safe, Zhang Miao can nominate another person to be the state pastor, this state pastor is completely controlled by their Yanzhou clan, and at the same time it can weaken Yuan Shao's strength, so that Yuan Shao has no Cao Cao who understands military affairs and can fight." ”

Chen Zhou finally said: "Zhang Miao may have thought that Cao Cao died a long time ago. ”

"That's what happened!"

Cao Ang exclaimed, shocked.

"Zhang Miao!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly trembled all over, and muttered Zhang Miao's name viciously.

I can't wait to drag Zhang Miao out and whip the corpse!
