Zhou Wharf, and there is no energy to manage Tianyan Academy, which is not known what it is used for. On the other hand, You Hongyin will send one or two people over from time to time, such as Lu Yi before, who is a natural master of mechanisms. If he is well trained, his future achievements will be limitless.

Let’s not talk about Ge Hong for now. In the past year, Lu Yun, the strategist that You Hongyin personally invited back at his own risk, has begun to truly show his skills.

You Hongyin himself is not bad, but he has indeed never done the work of starting from scratch to dominate the world, so it is inevitable that he is a little hesitant. For example, how to choose between conspiracy and conspiracy, open struggle and secret seizure, etc., he does not grasp the "degree" of this well.

Being too open and aboveboard is courting death, and being too scheming and cunning gives people a sense of untrustworthiness. There must be sacrifices in open struggle, and secret seizure is shameful.

There is no way to have both in the world. Even if you have all the means and a heart, You Hongyin will be embarrassed at some times.

So, he invited Lu Yun.

In terms of wisdom, he and Lu Yun are probably on par. In terms of experience and vision, he is dozens of streets ahead of Lu Yun, but in terms of understanding the world, Lu Yun is afraid that he can beat him.

The first thing Lu Yun did when he arrived was to give advice to You Hongyin to take over Jizhou.

Originally, You Hongyin's idea was to bribe the court officials and Sima Yue with money and other means, so that they would issue an imperial edict or something, so that his taking over Jizhou would be justified and still covered with a layer of window paper.

According to his calculations, this operation should not be difficult, because Sima Yue's relocation of the capital means giving up the north, and even the governor of a dangerous area like Yizhou has run away. The governor of Yizhou was very smart. When Sima Yue decided to move the capital, he packed his luggage very straightforwardly, gave a standard answer of a famous scholar picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and went straight to Jiankang. Then Yizhou became a state of being leaderless, relying entirely on some local county governors and other small officials to support its operation.

Therefore, You Hongyin felt that Yizhou was clearly no longer a Sima family place, and it would not be a big deal for him to give it to someone else.

Unless Sima Yue felt that he, the Qingzhou governor, was worth restricting and killing in the bud.

But You Hongyin felt that the chance was very small. Sima Yue was indeed not stupid, but he was a very arrogant person. All the Sima princes were eyeing Luoyang and the stupid emperor in Luoyang, but the final winner was Sima Yue. Therefore, You Hongyin could see from the daily intelligence that Sima Yue was becoming more and more stubborn.

Therefore, people like him should focus on Liu Yuan, the big threat, instead of focusing on him, the little Qingzhou governor.

But Lu Yun had another idea.

The first time he recognized his lord, he opened his mouth to confirm the status of Guo Xi's family members.

You Hongyin had been paying attention to this matter before. After all, they were relatives of Guo Xi's body. Although Chen Xiquan no longer cares about those messy views of celebrities, he still occasionally wonders what path the Guo family will eventually take without his son.

Since You Hongyin left to study, the Guo family's experience has been very different from before.

Before the suburbs of Luoyang were plundered by the Hu people, Guo's father immediately wanted to surrender to Sima Yue and become a retainer. But he naturally didn't care who Sima Yue was.

However, after checking Guo's father's information, Sima Yue had some concerns for the Luoyang Guo family standing behind him. In the end, he simply gave Guo's father a title, which was regarded as sending a friendly signal to Luoyang Guo.

Of course, Luoyang Guo was very aware of the elegant intentions and quickly sent many gifts, which was regarded as formally surrendering to Sima Yue.

However, Guo's father didn't know the ins and outs of this matter. He just felt that his years of hard work were not in vain. As expected, as long as he managed his reputation properly, he would definitely be able to stand out.

In the end, both Guo's father and Luoyang Guo's family were secretly proud of themselves, thinking that they had good vision. The kings fought for hegemony, and Sima Yue won in the end. This time, they stood in a very sharp line.

After Sima Yue came to power, the noble families who relied on him naturally gained considerable benefits, and many official positions in the court were adjusted.

Guo's father also got a job as an official, and his official rank was higher than that of Guo's grandfather. However, Guo's father never knew that his every move was seen by the Luoyang Guo's direct lineage, and he laughed at him secretly for a long time.

Returning to Luoyang City to settle down made the Guo family proud, but Guo's father was from a noble family after all, and he understood the principle that pride brings harm, while humility brings benefit. He was relieved after several warnings.

Then he arranged a marriage for Guo Xi's elder brother. The embarrassing thing was that there were no women of marriageable age in the city. Even if there were, they would have quickly refused the marriage proposed by Guo's father.

But it was absolutely unacceptable for Guo's father to let his eldest son marry a woman from a poor family. He was proud of his family's reputation, and now this custom of not marrying poor families was firmly remembered by Guo's father.

So it was delayed until Sima Yue moved the capital to Guangling.

On the way, Luoyang Guo family suffered a great misfortune.

Liu Yuan sent his adopted son to lead the Xiongnu cavalry to snipe Sima Yue's team that was moving south.

You have to know that the northern nobles who moved south this time didn't know how many rare treasures they brought, but they themselves were like those merchants who took advantage of the army, relying on external force to intimidate the scoundrels, but they themselves were weak in fighting.

Although Guo's father was not on good terms with Guo, they were of the same blood after all. When the two families moved south, Guo's family had no one to take care of them, so they went with Guo. Although Guo disliked this branch, it was not easy to leave it alone at this critical moment, otherwise there would be gossip. In the end, the two families left together.

Although Sima Yue was the only one in the court and his words were final, there were still two people who didn't care about him. One of them was General Wang, who led one of the six armies of the emperor.

Sima Yue sent this stubborn thorn out to cover the rear without any regret.

Everyone knew what the Xiongnu cavalry could do. With the advantage of numbers, General Wang held back the Xiongnu cavalry, giving others time to run to the south.

Then the 100,000 soldiers who covered the rear, including General Wang, died.

Without people to block and delay, the Xiongnu quickly caught up.

The first attack of the Xiongnu cavalry was at Guo in Luoyang.

You Hongyin didn't know much about what happened later. The direct descendants of the Luoyang Guo family died, and the Guo family also suffered a disaster. According to Hongyan's intelligence, the chances of the Guo family surviving were very small.

This made Chen Xiquan not know what to say. But he had let it go after all, and You Hongyin's target was no longer on the Guo family from the beginning.

So You Hongyin basically said without hesitation that the family members had suffered a war and had a very small chance of surviving.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yun responded quickly and adjusted the method of dealing with Yizhou.

Chapter 210: The Elegance of Famous Scholars (Thirty-Seven)

It would be a shame not to get a land like Yizhou that has no owner as soon as possible, so Lu Yun directly mobilized many forces in Qingzhou.

The method he adopted was to directly replace the county governor.

If the local county governors knew what was going on and cooperated, they would leave it alone, and then the Qingzhou Army would be transformed into the Yizhou Army and stationed in various county cities. If they did not want to give up their county governor status but did not want to surrender for various reasons, no matter who they were, they would be dismissed and replaced by people from Qingzhou. Then the county guards would be disrupted and mixed into the Qingzhou Army again, and then stationed in the local area.

Using this aboveboard method of cannibalization, within a year, Yizhou, even though there was no governor on the surface, was actually under the command of You Hongyin. Both the military and government affairs had been taken over by You Hongyin's subordinates.

Some people had questioned Lu Yun's method. In fact, doing so was actually tacitly acquiescing in the rebellion against the court. Although it was not a direct rebellion like Chen Min in Jiangdong, it was almost the same. To be honest, You Hongyin's strength was only in the middle and lower reaches among the many forces in the world. It was unwise to take over the territory in a big way at this moment. ░Think░Tu░Net░Document░Sharing░and░Online░Reading░

However, Lu Yun's three reasons made You Hongyin determined and shut up other doubters.

First, the lord's family was destroyed, and he had a deadly feud with Liu Yuan, so he should not be polite if he could cause trouble to Liu Yuan's Han Kingdom as much as possible.

Second, the court moved the capital and gave up Luoyang, which meant giving up the entire north. If no one presided over the overall situation in the north, it would be a sad thing to hand over half of the country to the Hu people. No matter from which aspect, it was a sad thing. So taking over Yizhou was not without righteousness, but righteousness.

Third, Qingzhou was remote, and the lord's reputation could not be spread, so it was difficult to recruit talents. Yizhou was different. This place was difficult to defend without real strength, which could help the lord become famous and attract more talents to join.

In fact, there is one thing Lu Yun did not mention, that is, the problem of Yizhou's military source.

Although the soldiers of Qingzhou are good, most of them have never seen a real war. Even if there was a riot a few years ago, that level was not enough.

Yizhou is different. Those who can stay in Yizhou and have been soldiers are not bad. In their lives, I am afraid that most of their time has been spent in war. Therefore, mixing Yizhou's soldiers into the Qingzhou army will help improve the soldiers' spirits, at least there will be no situation where the war is slightly unfavorable and they will defect.

Lu Yun did not say this because everyone knows this situation, and there is no need to say it too obviously, which is a bit hurtful.

You Hongyin immediately adopted Lu Yun's opinion and entrusted Lu Yun with the right to act at his own convenience.

Then, Yizhou was taken into his pocket.

There could not be no bloodshed during this period, but fortunately, the officials who are still staying in Yizhou are basically flexible and intelligent people. It can be said that Yizhou can be regarded as a safe handover of power. It took a year and finally returned to You Hongyin.

Today's banquet is a dinner held to celebrate the complete conquest of Yizhou. It is also a meeting to discuss how to deal with Yizhou's political affairs in the end.

There is no way. Everyone is busy now. After all, there are few opportunities to get together and communicate together. Although Lu Yun has become You Hongyin's accomplice, as the saying goes, one person's plan is short, two people's plan is long. Whether it is You Hongyin or Lu Yun, they all think that discussing together can better find out the gaps and avoid the huge losses caused by the implementation of wrong policies.

You Hongyin put away his lazy thoughts and quickly finished the work at hand. As soon as he put the documents away, Yuan Xi came in to report that the dinner was ready and all the adults who were free had basically come.

Lu Yun himself was too lazy to live alone. He stayed in the governor's mansion for the past year. After hearing Yuan Xi's report, he went back to his room to change clothes: "Yun happened to be able to see today, how capable the cooking master trained by the lord is."

In order to deal with the affairs of Yizhou, Lu Yun lived in the governor's mansion this year, but in fact, he spent very limited time in Qingzhou, and spent more time in Yizhou. He had always heard that the chefs in the governor's mansion were extraordinary, but he had never had the chance to see them. It was just that the food was delicious on weekdays, so he was inevitably curious about the banquet.

"I will definitely not disappoint Shilong." You Hongyin smiled.

When Lu Yun changed his clothes and came out and entered the banquet hall, almost everyone had arrived. Although high-legged tables and chairs are popular in Qingzhou nowadays, Liu Hongying still follows the ancient etiquette in formal banquets and still uses a few tables. There are cushions on the floor next to the table.

To be honest, Lu Yun was still a little uncomfortable kneeling in front of the table. After all, he was used to using comfortable tables and chairs, and it felt particularly uncomfortable to follow the ancient etiquette.

But Lu Yun also knew that the lord could not break the old rules all at once. Whether in Qingzhou or Yizhou, there are still some more conservative people. They always have to consider their feelings. There is nothing wrong with change, but the span cannot be too big.

After everyone was seated, the maids first brought pots of tea and four kinds of dried fruits. The types of dried fruits on each table were different, and they were all placed in small and exquisite white dishes, waiting for everyone to taste. At this time, You Hongming and most of the others were
