Uncle, please help the Han family

And 500 people is already a lot!

What do you want?

If we say something wrong, will we still have to throw the cup as a sign, and go out with swords and axes to catch us all?

"Clan elders, only these people are going to the main hall. Please make arrangements for the rest of the soldiers. Everyone is hungry." Liu Yu joked.

"It's natural, it's natural, and I will reward all the soldiers well."

The clan elder flattered them earnestly, and then asked the servants to bring all these soldiers to the mansion, and hold a banquet in another room.

As for those who officially entered the hall, the only representatives from Jicheng were Liu Yu, his right-hand man Zhang Fei, Zhao Ziyu, the newcomer, Mr. Zhang who might be the prefect, Gongsun Fan's sister Gongsun Yin, and a man who had been waiting for him just now. In the ranks, only now slowly came out, all familiar old friends - Gongsun Zan.

Ok.

This meal is a bit depressing.

Because of Gongsun Zan's existence, when they wanted to flatter Liu Yu, they would feel apprehensive. After all, the former bosses were all here, so how could they lick him?

Except Gongsunlu.

He almost praised Liu Yu when he found an opportunity.

Of course, this kind of boast is disgusting.

Zhang Fei, who was so disgusted, was so nauseated that he couldn't drink anymore.

There is something to be able to make the third master, who is addicted to alcohol, not to drink too much.

"Everyone."

Just when the atmosphere was subtly tense, Gongsun Zan suddenly stood up from his seat.

This move really startled them.

After all, according to the logic, as a loser in the political struggle, it is the best policy not to show off without showing off, and to survive this period of time as much as possible.

But she hates this feeling.

I hate the feeling that everyone treats me as a trouble, and I'm afraid it will implicate them.

"My Gongsun Zan's life was saved by the lord." Gongsun Zan looked into Liu Yu's eyes, raised the wine bottle, and said in a very formal tone, "The lord disregarded Zan's past accusations of leaving his post without authorization and supporting his own self-respect. The army rescued Zan from the enemy army. Zan will never repay this kindness even if he dies!"

After speaking this long paragraph, Gongsun Zan directly drank the bottle of warm wine into his stomach, not leaving a drop.

Then, in front of everyone, he walked to the center of the hall, and bowed sincerely to Liu Yu who was sitting on the main seat.

If this movement is disassembled, it is actually not much different from what Gongsun recorded.

But Liu Yu's inner feelings were really different.

The previous few times, she did it to save her life, to find a way out, and to not be so useless for the rest of her life.

But now, why did she kneel down in front of her former subjects?

In order to clear the way for Liu Yu.

Scumbags, there's no need to struggle any more.

Even I, Gongsun Zan, have to kneel down to Liu Yu, so what can you guys do?

"Bogui!"

Getting up from his seat, Liu Yu walked slowly to the steps. Also in front of all the dignitaries in Liaodong, he bent down, helped Gongsun Zan up, and said in a tone of entrustment: "There is no need to be too polite. This Youzhou needs to be governed by you and me together."

Political show, very obvious political show.

The clan elders could tell at a glance.

Liu Yu brought Gongsun Zan, a somewhat ironic character, to the banquet for this purpose.

To be honest, Liaodong's power is not considered weak. Even though the population is scarce, the size of the frontier army is there, and there is even more powerful white horse righteousness in the world.

More importantly, because the government was unable to pay salaries and salaries, these armies gradually turned into soldiers one after another, sponsored and controlled by the aristocratic families.

Half of these troops belonged to the Gongsun family, and the rest were divided among the various families.

If every aristocratic family is united and insists that the people of Liaodong rule Liaodong, it will not be easy for Liu Yu to transfer away.

But the crux of the problem is that we cannot unite.

No one is willing to come out and be the second Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, after the first Gongsun Zan was banned and subdued in public, it was even more impossible for the second Gongsun Zan to come out.

"I first came to Liaodong, and nothing worked." After helping Gongsun Zan to return to her throne, Liu Yu also raised his wine bottle and said formally, "From now on, I will rely more on Bogui, the clan elders, and everyone."

"The honor of Zan."

Gongsun Zan stood up and took the lead to cheer for Liu Yu.

"I'm trying my best."

The clan elders also got up, as an example.

"Your Majesty, I will never hesitate to die!"

Then, everyone at the meeting held up their wine bottles.

This is an irreversible trend that can only be followed.

Obediently obey.

Everyone drank it all with smiles on their faces.

Gollum.

The wine enters the throat, and the mood is surging.

Liu Yu has been thinking about how to take over Liaodong in order to achieve a peaceful evolution as much as possible.

And at this moment, he had an evil thought.

All the family suzerains are here.

Didn't I do a good job of killing them all, and everything about them naturally fell into my hands?

Of course, this is stupid thinking.

Talk about politics.

The so-called politics means that you can't bring your emotions, let your own preferences, and do whatever you want.

So how should we talk about politics?

Speak correctly.

"Eastern Liaodong is remote and has been infested by foreigners. There is a perennial shortage of food and salaries. It is everyone here who took the initiative to lead the family and donate food to support the army." Liu Yu took the initiative to mention, "In order to commend your contributions, I will sponsor the outstanding children of your families. Go to Jicheng to be an official, go to the imperial court to be an official."

Knowing that the power will be shuffled, they were not surprised, and said in unison: "Thank you, Lord..."

"This trip, I brought [-] shi of food and grass, all of which were used as military pay to distribute to the frontier soldiers."

Liu Yu raised his hand to interrupt their spellcasting, and then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he really cared, and said, "From now on, I won't bother you."

---------

It's the last day, and the monthly pass will expire if you don't vote.

Woohoo, if this is the case, let Puff offer a reward. Now it is 200 monthly tickets, and every additional [-] monthly tickets will add a chapter.

It will end at 6.1:[-] on [-].

Chapter 99 The Hope of the Gongsun Clan

In fact, Gongsun Zan's Liaodong frontier army was not only a private army, but also a team of 28 regular troops with a well-organized army.

The reason for the gradual familyization and privatization is related to the decline of central power and the accelerated rise of local aristocratic families.

You must know that the foundation of an army is financial support, and the stronger the logistics, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

War is a gold-eating beast, and to supply a semi-professional army requires a steady stream of money and food.

As a poor state in the north, Youzhou couldn't afford to support the tens of thousands of troops, and it was even more unrealistic for the imperial government to allocate funds, so it gradually became a private army.

But one thing must be clear, that is, the aristocratic family that took the initiative to contribute money and food is not a benevolent person.

Charity from ancient times to the present is a commercial act, and what they pay to support the army is far less than the return.

To give a simple example, if you control an army, then the personnel arrangement of the army must be at your disposal. Although the state does not support soldiers, the state does get the salaries of officials.

Therefore, the aristocratic family can completely leave important positions in the army to their nephews, and then fully control the right to use the army.

The benefits of raising an army are: [-]. Solve the work for the nephew and gather the Hanting's wool.Second, mobilize the army for their own use to ensure the stability of the family's status.Third, use force to further invade and annex people's land, coerce servants, and hide their account numbers to evade taxes.

A century-old royal family, a thousand-year-old family.

What are you fighting with me?

I use my fist.

Sorry, I use my fists to fight with you.

Liu Yu is very confident.

When he said these words, all the elders present were shocked.

And the complaints in my heart began to accumulate gradually.

It seems that this state shepherd is determined to shake their foundation.

"Lord."

The clan elder is indeed a clan elder. Even if he was sitting next to Liu Yu, he was not frightened by the chilling intent in this plain tone. Instead, he turned slightly and asked gently: "Everyone is concerned about the decision of the state capital. Quite understanding and supportive. However, there are some confusions, and I hope the lord can clear it up for us."

"Clan elder, please speak."

Liu Yu was not too hostile, turned around, and sat facing this old man who looked kind but actually had a lot of wrists, and he lowered his head slightly as if he was listening politely.

"Because the children of each family are serving in the army, and they are all locals, everyone wants to know whether the Liaodong frontier army will be transferred to Jicheng?" The clan elder asked Liu Yu openly.

And this question is exactly what all Liaodong families are concerned about.

So all the bigwigs present at the meeting focused on what Liu Yu was going to say next.

"It's true." Liu Yu didn't deny it, but quickly added after speaking, "But this time it's just a military dispatch, and it doesn't involve personnel replacement. That is to say, my children, it turns out that What is the official position, what is the official position now. Moreover, according to the ability, some promotions will be made accordingly."

The most taboo thing to take over an army is a thorough cleansing.

Although the family is evil, the soldiers are innocent.

More importantly, random personnel transfers will have a great impact on combat effectiveness.

In the army, replacing a corps leader will completely destroy the combat habits of that corps, let alone completely replace the backbone.

That is to cause unrest, to cause mutiny.

"Then what are the troops that have been transferred, and how many are there?"

After Liu Yu finished explaining, someone soon brought it up.

And the voice is very high, which is completely different from the calm elders.

"Yes, yes, which troops are going to Jicheng, and which troops are staying in Liaodong."

"Withdraw the Liaodong army, what should we do if the foreigners come in?"

"It can't be withdrawn all at once."

Accompanied by that high-profile question, some people off the court also began to discuss in whispers.

They are all thinking of their own interests.

It is their own army that hopes to stay in Liaodong.

Only in this way can their aristocratic family be better rooted in this land and stand firm.

Looking at these ridiculous guys, Liu Yu didn't say a word, because these dogs were not within the scope of his consideration.

But Zhang Fei couldn't help it anymore, he got up from his seat, slammed the table hard, and made a loud 'boom'.

In an instant, the audience was silent, and Yaque was silent.

"...Aah!"

Only an old man who was half-timing was frightened by the powerful aura and almost collapsed on the ground.
