Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 826 Changes in the Heart of the World
It can be said that from the beginning of Zhu Wei's rise, Zhu Wei was not greatly influenced by the noble family.

Even though Zhu Wei's wife, Wang Yuyan, was born in the Wang family of the East China Sea, Zhu Wei seemed to have the support of the Wang family at first, but more often, Zhu Wei seemed to have risen in the south of the Yangtze River by winning battles.

Facing the powerful Zhu Wei in this way, the gentry family seems to have no other choice.

Since they can't change the fact that Zhu Wei has become the supreme leader of the world, they can only find ways to adapt to the new situation.

Gradually, with such a tacit understanding of the noble family, they naturally no longer hesitated to cast a lot of olive branches on Zhu Wei's side. For a while, many noble families in Xiangyang began to agree with each other, hoping to become an official in Zhu Wei's side.

At the same time, in Puyang City where Zhu Wei is currently located, there are also many gentry families with profound backgrounds in Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places who have expressed their recognition of Zhu Wei's self-proclaimed King of Ming.

Among them, Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, and Sima Lang, who are famous in history, also appeared in front of Zhu Wei on their own initiative, hoping to follow Zhu Wei.

Of course, they are still very young now, for example, Yang Xiu is only 24 years old, and Sima Yi is only 20 years old. They may have gained some reputation in Xudu, but they are not worthy of being valued by Cao Cao, so they have not yet become officials. when.

Now Zhu Wei's age is really very early. Now even Cao Cao's son Cao Pi is only 12 years old, and Cao Zhi is only seven years old.

Therefore, Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, Sima Lang and other young talents of the generation should have grown up after Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and then after Cao Cao unified the northern Central Plains and stabilized the situation under his control, they would show their talents in Xudu and become officials under the control of the Cao family. in the imperial court.

It should be said that in this period, they should have been hidden by noble families such as the Yang family and the Sima family, lest they be discovered by Cao Cao and forced to serve under Cao Cao's account.

At this time period in the original history, the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had not yet broken out, so many senior gentry families naturally would not invest early. They had to wait for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to decide the winner, or after they had a clear advantage Only then will the children of the clan be allowed to invest in the promising party in the future.

But now that Zhu Wei Hengkong was born, it was obvious that he had the appearance of a new master of the world.

Then these senior gentry families naturally have to express their opinions in time. Now they are no longer in the situation of sending charcoal in a timely manner. Even if the outstanding children of the clan join Zhu Wei, it is a bit of icing on the cake.

But they can't wait for Zhu Wei to truly unify the world, and then think about inserting people into Zhu Wei's new court after knowing it.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be a new batch of gentry nobles in the Zhu Wei Dynasty. These new classes will only want to completely trample these old gentry families and seize their wealth and power from them. It is impossible. It's time to give them a chance.

So now that young gentry children like Yang Xiu and Sima Yi appear on Zhu Wei's side, it shows that senior gentry families like Yang and Sima are ready to invest in talents on Zhu Wei's side.

Although it seems that many of the policies implemented by Zhu Wei seem to be aimed at the gentry family, as long as the gentry family infiltrates people into Zhu Wei's court, it will naturally have an impact on this policy in the future, so as to create a policy that is beneficial to the gentry. Things from the family.

Of course, these young people appearing beside Zhu Wei now is also because Zhu Wei himself is young, and when he was in Jingzhou, Zhu Wei also had the old practice of letting Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and other young talents enter official positions, so as to train them to take on great responsibilities.

So now Yang Xiu and Sima Yi, although they are young, can naturally establish a good relationship with Zhu Wei first, and show their ability in front of Zhu Wei, so that if they can be reused by Zhu Wei in the future, they can also become the noble family in the Zhu Wei dynasty. tongue out.

For a time, many young talents appeared around Zhu Wei. In addition to historical celebrities such as Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, and Sima Lang, there were also many people who had never heard of them in history, but they also had some talents.

At least Zhu Wei can send them to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, these newly conquered territories, and then serve as county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, and even prefects to help Zhu Wei stabilize the local situation and restore the local official system .

However, speaking of many young descendants of the Cao family and Xiahou family, especially Cao Cao's sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, it seems that they are not in Puyang City, and they have obviously been hidden by Cao Cao before.

These Cao's children may still be future troubles, but now Zhu Wei doesn't care too much for the time being, they are still very young, and there is no basis for tossing around.

Of course, Zhu Wei's school office will naturally search for their whereabouts in secret, but they don't have anyone to help them, and they can't make any trouble for the time being.

Those who died under the arrows with Cao Cao that day basically included Cao Cao's important civil and military officials, such as Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, Li Tong, Dian Man (Dian Wei's son), Shi Huan, Niu Jin and other generals, as well as other generals. There were Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie and many other civil servants.

In this way, almost all the famous people under Cao Cao died. Except for those who have been captured by Zhu Wei, they are Dong Heng, Yu Jin, Man Chong and others in Jiyin County.

Of course, after the war in Puyang County ended, Zhu Wei also sent Huang Zhong's Huainan Battalion to Juancheng in Jiyin County to support. Although Zhu Wei sent the Hanzhong Army to attack Jiyin County before, Zhang Wei of the Hanzhong Army Naturally, it is impossible to go all out to attack Juancheng where Dong Heng is stationed.

Although the strength of the Hanzhong army was more than double that of Dong Heng's regular Cao army, Zhang Wei was stationed in front of Juancheng, and then put on a siege posture, and most of the time he was just fighting soy sauce here.

However, with the end of the fighting in Puyang City and the arrival of Huang Zhongjun, it was naturally impossible for the Hanzhong Army to continue fishing, so they stepped up their offensive against Juancheng.

But now that Cao Cao is dead, Dong Heng, Yu Jin, and Man Chong received the news from Zhu Weijun. Although it was unbelievable, they finally confirmed Cao Cao's death with the evidence presented by Zhu Weijun.

In this way, even if Dong Heng, Yu Jin, and Man Chong still have the fighting spirit, but their soldiers have no fighting spirit. Besides, the number of Zhu Weijun is several times that of theirs. Who are they fighting to the death now?
In the end, under the liaison and communication of Lu Su in the Huainan Camp, Dong Heng, Yu Jin, and Man Chong in Juancheng surrendered their troops. So far, there is no sequence of regular troops belonging to Cao Cao.

The prefectures and counties in the northern part of Yanzhou will also be handed over quickly, and the whole of Yanzhou can be regarded as falling into the hands of Zhu Wei. Then Huang Zhong's Huainan camp and Zhang Wei's Hanzhong army, plus Dong Heng, Yu Jin, and Man Chong The Cao army they surrendered directly sent troops to Qingzhou under Zhu Wei's military order.

At this time, Yuan Tan in Qingzhou had no more troops to resist since the defeat of Taishan County in Xuzhou. Therefore, Huang Zhong led the army there as a formality, and drove Yuan Tan away from Qingzhou and took over Qingzhou. just a place...
