"All those aristocratic families gave up their original ancestral business because they refused to obey Liu Xuan's rules, and came to our Jizhou to join the lord."

Yuan Shao was delighted for a moment. With so many families in Jizhou, it will definitely become stronger and stronger. Why didn't Liu Xuan let them go instead of letting them go.

When Yuan Shao was puzzled, Xu You continued to say:

"The subordinates have also sent people to Xuzhou and Jingzhou to inquire. The subordinates have settled all the matters. It is because Liu Xuan can't understand these aristocratic families and doesn't want to bear the reputation of slaughtering aristocratic families, so they left Xuzhou and Jingzhou safe and sound. Both places in Jingzhou."

"And this time when I sent people to Xuzhou and Jingzhou, I discovered an important thing."

Yuan Shao heard that Xu You had discovered something important, so he hurriedly asked:

"I don't know what I found out? Tell me quickly!"

Xu You cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, according to the reports from the spies, Liu Xuan is currently rectifying Xuzhou and Jingzhou."

Yuan Shao listened disapprovingly and said:

"What am I supposed to do? Let alone Liu Xuan, any vassal would surely make rectifications to the prefectures and counties that were just conquered."

Xu You waved his hand and explained to Yuan Shao:

"My lord, you misunderstood me. It's not about the internal rectification, but the rectification of all the cities in the entire state and county. It's the so-called tearing down and rebuilding all the cities~!"

This sentence not only surprised Yuan Shao, but also everyone standing below couldn't help being surprised. Yuan Shao hurriedly asked:

"What~! What did you say? Then Liu Xuan actually knocked down all the cities in Xuzhou and Jingzhou and rebuilt them?"

Xu You listened to Yuan Shao's question and nodded, expressing that he was very sure. Xu You ignored the others and continued to Yuan Shao:

"My lord doesn't know that those newly built cities are twice as tall as our Jizhou city walls, and all of them are built with some unknown things. They are very strong and very smooth. If someone wants to attack City, then I'm afraid I can only retreat for a while."

"The spies came back and said that not only the city walls, but also the city gates are extremely thick, but it seems that many people are not used to control the gates. The spies said that only two people can quickly open and close the thick gates."

"Moreover, even the houses in the city were all rebuilt by Liu Xuan, using the same materials as the city walls, and it is said that there will be no water leakage when it rains, and no matter how heavy the snow falls, it will not overwhelm the houses. The winter is warm and the summer is cool, Liu Xuan also built houses for the refugees to live in, and gave them a lot of land."

Yuan Shao heard Xu You's words, looked at Xu You in disbelief, and said:

"Is this serious? Can you really build such a high city wall? And help refugees build houses and distribute fields. What does Liu Xuan want to do?"

Xu You said:

"It's absolutely true. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter. The spies I sent came back to report it in person, and those aristocratic families came to Jizhou because they had no place to stay in Xuzhou and Jingzhou."

"Liu Xuan demolished all their houses and built them into houses like that. He also sold all their land to Liu Xuan at the lowest price, so that Liu Xuan could let them go."

"As far as my subordinates know, Liu Xuan doesn't look down on the aristocratic family. He doesn't stick to one pattern in employing people. Regardless of his background as a refugee or whatever, he dares to use as long as he has the ability. He never uses people from the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family and Liu Xuan are at odds with each other."

After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao learned that those aristocratic families had no bad intentions and came to seek refuge with him. Even so, Yuan Shao still vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Then why does Liu Xuan hate the family so much?You must know that the family has a lot of money and talents. Without the support of the family, it is estimated that Yuan Shao would not be able to make it this far.

So Yuan Shao still attaches great importance to the aristocratic family, so 90.00% of the people standing in this hall are from the aristocratic family, or are recommended by the aristocratic family.

Yuan Shao really couldn't figure it out, but Liu Xuan didn't rely on the power of his family, but his strength was definitely stronger than him and Cao Cao combined. Could it be that he did something wrong?

Shouldn't we just focus on the aristocratic family?Thinking of this, Yuan Shao asked Xu You:

"Why do all these families come to my Jizhou? Could it be that no family goes to Cao Mengde in Yanzhou?"

Xu You nodded after hearing this, and said:

"According to the spies' report, all those families have come to our Jizhou, and no one from Yanzhou has gone."

Yuan Shao was puzzled, why did no family go to Yanzhou?asked again:

"What does Ziyuan think about this?"

Xu You thought for a while and said:

"Returning to my lord, as far as my subordinates know, Cao Cao seems to be on good terms with Liu Xuan, and Cao Mengde has been learning from Liu Xuan's methods. Cao Cao dares to use those reckless people in the world. There are not only aristocratic families under Cao Cao's command, but also those Ordinary people work under Cao Cao's tent."

After Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded his head. It seems that Cao Cao is gradually losing the support of his family.

Yuan Shao thought, if all the aristocratic families could support Yuan Shao, wouldn't he have what he wants in the future?

In the future, there will be no shortage of money, food, or talents. Instead, Yuan Shao hopes that Cao Cao will continue to learn from Liu Xuan, so that all the aristocratic families in Yanzhou will also come to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao put the matter aside for the time being, and then asked again:

"When these families came to Jizhou, did they make any demands? Or did they say anything?"

Xu You nodded and said:

"The subordinates are about to report this matter to the lord. Those newcomers are saying that Liu Xuan is arrogant, using unscrupulous means to occupy their land, and want the lord to send troops to attack Liu Xuan. They will definitely send someone out. Contribute, and as long as the Lord speaks, food and grass, let the Lord speak."

"And they also said that from now on, all the talents in their family will be loyal to the lord and will be at the mercy of the lord."

When Yuan Shao learned that those aristocratic families wanted him to attack Liu Xuan, Yuan Shao didn't know how to answer.

He doesn't want to be an enemy of Liu Xuan right now. With his current strength, it's okay to fight Cao Cao. If Liu Xuan is offended now, he probably won't be able to keep Jizhou and Qingzhou who just came to Qingzhou.

After Yuan Shao thought for a while, he opened his mouth and said to Xu You:

"Okay~! The prefect agrees to their request~!"

After Yuan Shao said these words, everyone present was stunned. They couldn't believe that their lord dared to attack Liu Xuan.
