Since ancient times, no regime has really been able to achieve internal and external harmony and no contradictions. As long as it is a person, there will always be their own ideas and demands, and various conflicts will inevitably arise; whether these conflicts can be eliminated at the beginning will not only test political wisdom, but also test the trust between people. At this moment, Liu Bei's Jingzhou regime did not lack these two items. Therefore, a conflict that occurred between the Zuo General's Mansion and his subordinates finally passed in a simple manner.

In the eyes of Zhou Yu, who was in charge of Nanjun, this was a bit disappointing. It seemed that Mrs. Sun was just a mess, but she had neither the ability to win over people's hearts nor the ability to disturb people's hearts. This marriage was simply useless for Wu Hou.

It’s a pity that the attendants of the Marquis of Wu were granted to Mrs. Sun. Marquis of Wu placed those brave and war-going people in the public security, perhaps hoping that they would do something in the future. As a result, because of this incident, two leaders were killed and the remaining hundred people were detained in Chanling for detention. Although they would not die, they would not escape in a short period of time.

As for the conflict itself, it is nothing. The Jiangdong gentry was killed by Sun Bofu, and I don’t know how many blood feuds have formed. Now they are still running to serve under the command of Wu Hou? Those who can control the strength of the rich are all good at weighing the pros and cons. If you say too much, you are afraid that you won’t smell a little human... Lei Yuan, the new sect leader of the Lei family in Lujiang, had previously killed dissidents in the mountains, forcing Feng Xi to return in vain. It seems that he is such a person.

Zhou Yu sneered slightly. This person had a similar stinky taste with the scheming Liu Bei. I guess the two of them could talk together, so they performed a scene of the monarch and ministers getting along at Lei Xu's funeral ceremony, which moved many scholars in Jingzhou.

In fact, Lei Xuzhi was favored by a high-ranking official, and he led an important military and political position. His family had become an important iron weight in the west of Jingzhou. Liu Bei once again consolidated his name of politeness and kindness, and forced himself to make up for the huge mess that Mrs. Sun had broken. Aren’t these two people taking what they wanted?

Thinking of Liu Bei's name of kindness and kindness, Zhou Yu couldn't help but become angry.

What's the use of Liu Bei's reputation? Zhou Yu felt more deeply than anyone else. Just yesterday, the magistrates of the Nanjun County he appointed came to report that there are still local wealthy families in each county who moved to the present. Almost all of them crossed the river and defected to Liu Bei!

At that time, Zhou Yu was furious and even considered forcing scholars and people from all over the country to move away from townships and counties and gathered in Jiangling City. Because Gongcao Pang Tong tried hard to persuade him, he stopped. Pang Tong said it bluntly. Nowadays, several wealthy families are only attached to him every month. If the people are forcibly migrated, would they have to watch tens of thousands of people disperse?

Zhou Yu sighed and let go of his hand. A roll of bamboo slips that were originally holding in his palm fell down and spread loosely on the ground.

The bamboo slips are scattered too close to the brazier. Slowly, the color of the thin bamboo slices turns from green to white, and gradually turns yellow, and the leather ropes decorated with bamboo slices emit a faint smell of burnt smell. If they are not taken away as soon as possible, the document will soon burn.

A man walked over quickly, picked up the bamboo slips, gently put them back on the table, and then returned to his original place to sit upright. The lights leaped, reflecting the man's ugly appearance and extremely alert eyes.

"Why should the general worry? The relationship between the rich clans of Jingzhou and Xuandegong is indeed at a time when Zhuge Liang's relationship is in a good relationship, but their relationship will never last long. The more they are in love, the more they will live to the death in the future. At that time, the general will sit firmly in Jiangling and watch them attack each other."

Zhou Yu glanced at the man: "Why is this? Shi Yuan might as well tell me."

The person who was called Shi Yuan was Pang Tong, Gongcao of Nanjun. After conquering Jiangling, Zhou Yu was busy directing military operations, so he recruited Pang Tong as Gongcao and entrusted all the affairs of the county government to him. Zhou Yu himself was just accused of it. Recently, Zhou Yu was not in good health and his energy seemed to be worse than before. Therefore, many discussions on the military and political secrets of the Eastern Wu Dynasty were gradually involved, and now he has become Zhou Yu's planner who is leaning on his arms.

"With the general's clarity, I believe that the things that Xuande Gong used to attract the people of the Guizhou people and the children of the Jingxiang clan are different. The Guizhou leader was ignorant and ignorant, and only hoped that there would be a local official who loved the people. Whoever could make them have enough food would be willing to surrender to him. Therefore, Xuande Gong treated him with kindness and righteousness; while the children of the Jingxiang clan needed were the high-ranking officials who were waiting for in the empty position in the Left General's mansion, and the rich benefits brought by these positions. Therefore, Xuande Gong treated him with kindness."

Zhou Yu nodded.

Pang Tong also said: "Before the Battle of Chibi, Duke Xuande was in a hurry like a dog that was a lost family. Only Kong Ming, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others could serve. After the war, Duke Xuande established the Left General and the Muslim Mansion in Gongguan, and many important positions were waiting for him. Duke Xuande was eager to seek talents, and even made many generous promises and promoted the scholars. Therefore, the great clans of Jingxiang often went south to surrender, and for a time it was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, as if the king and his ministers were getting along with each other in the day, and they were happy."

"That's true. Shi Yuan, you continue."

"However, they abandoned Jingxiang's industry and all the tribes went south and only exchanged for official positions in prefectures and counties? That is definitely not enough. There are still people in the clan waiting for food. If they rely solely on the salaries of officials, they will die of cold and hunger. Therefore, they must set up farms in various places in Jingnan, merge mountains and forests, recruit disciples, and monopolize trade routes to re-establish the family's foundation. But in the long run, Duke Xuande could not meet their requirements. You must know that the territory occupied by Duke Xuande was only Lingling and Guiyang, and the two counties were equipped with several scattered and divided lands, and there was no room for development. Considering that these places were still local tyrants and constantly invading the land population... How much profit could Duke Xuande give up and handed over to the people of Jingxiang to share it?"

Pang Tong stretched out his sleeves and said confidently: "So, I dare to ask the general to rest assured. In time, we will definitely see the scene of frequent internal strife in the Jingzhou territory of Duke Xuande and his ministers being distraught. Wouldn't you hear that it was prosperous and his demise suddenly? At that time, I am afraid that the scholars who went south would find that they were mistaken by Duke Xuande, and they would turn to Jiangling in the north, which is not known."

Zhou Yu chuckled: "Although what Shi Yuan said is a comforting poem, it makes some sense. Unfortunately..."

When Pang Tong heard that Zhou Yu's meaning seemed to have a turning point, he hurriedly asked, "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that we don't have room for time." Zhou Yu handed over the book that Pang Tong picked up: "Shi Yuan, please read it."

Pang Tong took the book and read it at a glance. He immediately frowned: "Wu Hou was the general of the chariot and cavalry. He was engaged in the role of Bu Zhizhong as the prefect of Poyang. He trained elite troops in the Poyang Navy camp. He planned to pass through the Xiangshui River and Lingqu to the Xijiang River, and then lead his army to attack Jiaozhou?"

He picked up the book and read it twice, and finally couldn't bear it. He shouted: "The advancement to Jianghuai has already wasted a lot of power, but he has gained nothing. Now he is going to send troops to the barbaric land in the south? Even if he has obtained that kind of place, how can it benefit Jiangdong? How can Jiangdong's power be able to support three directions to expand at the same time? This is a ridiculous act! A foolish act! General, you should write to the Marquis of Wu and say it is impossible. Our general strategy of advancing along the river west must not be shaken!"

With his mere county Gongcao, he dared to bluntly criticize the political strategy of Wu Hou as absurd and stupid, which can be said to be extremely arrogant.

Zhou Yu stared at the bamboo slips and said for a long time: "We can't control Jingzhou, so how can we talk about making progress in Yizhou? Besides, Liu Bei's residence in Jingnan is like a tiger lying on the south side, which is really hard to deal with. The Supreme is helpless to intend to go to the north and south. After all, there is only one way to maintain the general strategy of advancing to the west of Jiangxi."

Pang Tong pressed his hands on the ground and moved forward to his body: "What method?"

"Suppress the entire Jingnan area in the shortest time, force Liu Bei to bow his head, and then use Liu Bei's troops to attack Yizhou together." Zhou Yu re-established this goal that had been discussed for hundreds or dozens of times.
