Yuan Shao's face turned red. He originally wanted to give Jiang Gan a blow, but failed to scare him. Instead, he was ridiculed by Jiang Gan.

"Mr. Ziyi, I was just joking. Don't mind. If you have anything to say, please sit down and say it slowly."

Yuan Shao sincerely invited.

As long as Yuan Shao has a good mentality, he definitely has a way of dealing with talents and has the charm to attract talents.

In another dimension, Yuan Shao is a very awesome boss.

Apart from anything else, being able to attract so many talents around him shows that Yuan Shao is unique in treating talents.

None of the eight great counselors around him are mentally retarded. They are definitely the most powerful beings on this plane.

Like Guo Tu, don't just think of him as someone who likes to flatter him. He is a villain and a clown, but in terms of strategy, Guo Tu is not weak.

Many of the descriptions of Yuan Shao in the novel are untrue. If it is really as stated in the novel, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to unify the north.

In the Battle of Guandu, Lao Cao won and Yuan Shao was defeated. The key was that Yuan Shao made a mistake in dealing with Xu You.

If Xu You had not been sentenced to escape, Yuan Shao would certainly not have failed in the battle of Guandu.

When Yuan Shao was governing Jizhou and Youzhou, the people under his rule supported Yuan Shao very much. In the hearts of the people, Yuan Shao had a very good reputation.

Yuan Shao did a good job in bringing food and clothing to the people.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan!"

Jiang Gan cupped his fists and said.

"Mr. Jiang Ziyi, I wonder what you want to do when you come to Yecheng this time?"

Yuan Shaodao.

Jiang Gan despises!

Don’t you know what you are doing here?

Show off!

"Master Yuan, my lord has relinquished his humble position as an envoy to Yecheng, just to persuade Master Yuan that the unification of the world is the general trend.

I hope Mr. Yuan can understand the reality. In the face of the general trend, no one can stop the pace of world unification."

Jiang Qiandao.

Yuan Shao understood in his heart why he had to fight to the death, mainly because he was not convinced by Qin Qi, and because Qin Qi had many conflicts with the Yuan family.

Actually?

Qin Qi and Yuan Shao don't have much of a conflict, it's just that they have different ways of doing things and thinking.

To put it simply, Yuan Shao looked down on Qin Qi and felt that Qin Qi was from a poor family, unlike Yuan Shao who was from a noble family.

In the Han Dynasty, family background was very important to a person.

Yuan Shao's success has something to do with the descendants of the Fourth and Third Dukes, but it is not the main reason. Yuan Shu enjoys more resources than Yuan Shao, so why can't he succeed?

From this point of view, in terms of ability, Yuan Shao is indeed an awesome person with outstanding abilities, and he is completely different from Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao unified the north mainly relying on his own ability.

To sum up in one sentence, Yuan Shao is good at internal affairs and is a good local official, more than capable of presiding over the affairs of a state.

"Master Yuan, the total population of your area is only over 4 million, but you have recruited an army of 500,000.

I estimate that all the men in Jizhou and Youzhou have been recruited! This is an act of killing the goose to obtain the egg.

The consequences are very serious. No one is farming, and there will still be a shortage of food next year. How will Mr. Yuan solve it then?"

Jiang Qiandao.

Yuan Shao also knew these things, and his advisers also knew it, but they didn't point it out clearly, which seemed a bit self-deceiving.

I always thought that as long as I defeated Qin Qi, the situation would get better.

"Master Yuan, do you know how many people there are in the area controlled by my lord? There are nearly 40 million people in total (the real population is only 37 million, not 40 million.)

The soldiers we recruit are only one per one hundred people, so the burden is extremely light. If we want to recruit, we can recruit nearly one million troops in a short time.

This is without affecting the people's farming and ensuring a good harvest, without resorting to military force like Mr. Yuan."

Jiang Qiandao.

Shocking!

Both Yuan Shao and his advisers understood for the first time how many people there were in the Xiakou area, which was more than they had imagined.

sluggish!

Stupid!

"Mr. Ziyi, you are not exaggerating. Just tell us to scare us! The Xiakou area has a large population, but it is certainly impossible to have a population of 40 million."

Feng Ji questioned.

Hahaha!

Jiang Gan laughed.

"Mr. Yuan Tu, what I said in my post are basically real figures. Have you forgotten that starting from 186,

My lord has been absorbing disaster victims and refugees. At that time, when officials in various places heard about my lord’s actions, they

They all laughed at each other and drove the victims and refugees under their control to the Xiakou area. Every year, only the victims were resettled.

There are more than two million refugees, and in some years there are as many as three million. In addition, my lord sent a transport ship,

Take the initiative to transport disaster victims and refugees who are not wanted by local officials to Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou and other areas,

Including the people who migrated to the Xiakou area on land, you can simply calculate whether the number mentioned by the humble post is true."

Jiang Qiandao.

Fengji was speechless.

The counselors under Yuan Shao's tent made preliminary estimates and found that Jiang Gan's words were very true.

"Master Yuan, the agreement you signed with Ke Bineng and Yu Fuluo has no effect anymore. The Huns' cavalry was disabled by us.

Ke Bi was captured and is now staying in a civilized school to receive education and reform. It is impossible to send troops to support Mr. Yuan.

The reason why Youzhou has never been captured is because Gongsun Zan and my lord signed a non-aggression treaty.

My Lord is a person who attaches great importance to credibility. Everything he has signed and promised must be followed.

Only when Gongsun Zan dies will the agreement become invalid. In other words, the 100,000-strong army in the Liaodong region can attack Beiping at any time and take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Youzhou."

Jiang Qiandao.

"The Lu Su Corps is stationed in the plains, the Gaoshun Corps is stationed in Guandu, and the Xu Huang Corps is stationed in Hanoi.

In addition to the Zhao Yun Corps in Liaodong, I wonder if Lord Yuan's 500,000 newly recruited recruits can withstand the attack of the four regiments?"

Jiang Gan refused to give Yuan Shao any consideration and struck down with another heavy hammer.

For a moment, Yuan Shao and his advisers were confused.

I was stunned and my mind went blank.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers.

"Master Yuan, if you don't think about the four million people under your rule, you should also think about the officials under your command, as well as the Yuan family.

Mr. Yuan persisted in resisting to the end, and the consequences were very serious. Why did my lord not capture Yuan Shu in the Central Plains?

It's just driving away, not because we are incapable, it is completely our plan. We deliberately let Yuan Shu survive.

Let Yuan Shu go to Jizhou and create some chaos for Master Yuan, which will be beneficial to our Xiakou army's successful capture of Jizhou."

Jiang Qiandao.

Yuan Shao is angry!

Just saying, it is a bit incomprehensible why Yuan Shu could still escape with his troops and horses.

Thinking again about what Yuan Shu did after arriving in Jizhou, everything became clear.

"Master Yuan, my lord often says that no matter how many fights there are in the Central Plains, they are a family affair.

Absolutely no outsiders are allowed to interfere. Whenever you see outsiders interfering, you must cut them off without leaving any future troubles.

This is a matter of great right and wrong and cannot be compromised. I hope Mr. Yuan or the counselors will never do it again in the future.

Otherwise, once the world is united, the relevant people will definitely be held accountable. At that time, they will be sentenced and imprisoned as they should be, and they cannot be allowed to go unpunished."

Jiang Qiandao.

Feng Ji felt a chill running down his back after hearing this.

"Master Yuan, it is war or surrender. Your words are related to the lives and safety of four million people in Hebei and Youzhou.

It also involves the fate of Mr. Yuan’s family and the families of the officials under his command. Please think twice before taking action.”

Jiang Qiandao.
