Zhuge Jin is a first-class strategist whose talent points are completely wrong. However, as the head of an aristocratic family, his ability is indeed extremely powerful. In the late Three Kingdoms period, the Zhuge family became prosperous in Wei, Shu, and Wu, and he, as the head of the family, played an indispensable role.

You must know that the Zhuge family was actually a small family at the end of the Han Dynasty and could not be called an aristocratic family at all. The ancestor of this family, Ge Ying, was a famous general who followed Chen Sheng in the uprising against the violent Qin Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Ge Ying was recognized for his contribution to resisting the violent Qin Dynasty.

After being granted the title by Emperor Wen, Ge Ying's grandson was granted the title of Marquis of various counties. The Ge family later lived in various counties for generations.

In order to express gratitude for Emperor Wen's kindness, the Ge family combined their surname and place name, thus forming the "Zhuge" family. It can be said that this family has been full of gratitude and loyalty to the Han Dynasty since its birth.

Later, during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, a talented person emerged from this family, Zhuge Feng. Although he was promoted to Sili Xiaowei, he was dismissed by the emperor because of his upright character, lack of tact and outspoken advice.

The Zhuge family seems to have produced such loyal and upright people. Therefore, because they offended too many people, they disappeared from the officialdom of the Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. It was not until the end of the Han Dynasty that two figures emerged, Zhuge Gui and his younger brother Zhuge

mysterious.

Zhuge Gui is the father of Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang. These two men were not great officials, one was the county magistrate of Taishan County and the other was the pastoral official of Jingzhou.

When the princes were attacking Dong, Zhuge Gui died. Zhuge Xuan took Zhuge Gui's three sons and two daughters to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, who had a good relationship with him. It must be said that this guy was indeed a character, and he was a well-rounded person. From a humble family,

He could actually make Yuan Shu, who had traveled through time with his eyes above his head, look at him differently. Yuan Shu once suspected that Zhuge Jin was influenced by him. However, compared to Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin was quite a bit ahead of his peers. At such a young age, his wrists far exceeded his own.

This is my uncle.

According to original history, when Zhuge Xuan brought his five nephews and nieces to join Yuan Shu, Zhuge Jin should have gotten lost due to the war. However, because Yuan Shu had been recruiting people near the Central Plains, they did not get lost and came smoothly.

Arrive at Jiangdong.

Yuan Shu was quite surprised when he came back from the meeting with Dong and learned about this guy, because the name was familiar, and there were only a few people with the surname Zhuge in this era. After asking Yuan Shu a little, he understood what a big surprise this guy brought to him.

Although the Zhuge family was not well-known before and had few capable people, in the late Han Dynasty, there were many talented people! The whole family was full of talents, and the top talents were not much worse than the Xun family. In the Three Kingdoms era,

Chaos Shi became a top family.

Yuan Shu immediately treated Zhuge Xuan and his party favorably. After taking Jingzhou, he even made him the Prime Minister of Xiangyang County. Then the Zhuge family established themselves in Xiangyang just like the original trajectory in history.

Yuan Shu did this because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would miss Pang Tong, Sima Hui and others, and his growth trajectory would be changed by him. And compared to Jinling Academy, Lumen Academy is indeed better at military strategy. Sima Hui is not just a great scholar, this guy

He knows almost everything, and the students he trains are all great people. In terms of the quality of his students, only that old monster from the Xun family can compare with him.

Zhuge Xuan's subsequent operations were simply dizzying for Yuan Shu. I don't know how this guy did it. He married Zhuge Gui's two daughters into the Kuai family and Pang family in Jingzhou (the families of Pang Degong and Pang Tong) respectively, and he also persuaded

Huang Chengyan, the current head of the Huang family in Jingzhou, engaged his daughter Huang Yueying to Zhuge Liang.

Now the Huang family and the Cai family, another giant in Jingzhou, are related by marriage. They are so close that they are almost wearing a pair of pants. They hugged the two thickest thighs in Jingzhou at once, the Kuai family and the Cai family, and even made friends with the Huang family.

With the two powerful players of the Pang family, and the care of Yuan Shu, the Zhuge family has directly blended into the upper class society in Jingzhou. As long as Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang grow up, a Zhuge family that is no less than the Lu family and the Kuai family will appear immediately.

Even Yuan Shu had to accept this kind of skill. Zhuge Xuan was indeed a strange man, so Yuan Shu placed him in Xiangyang, a place with complicated relations. Xiangyang County is not a small county like Taishan County. Its status in Jiangdong is second only to

Danyang County. Most of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou are almost self-sufficient here. Therefore, the status and power of the Prime Minister of Xiangyang County are not small. Zhuge Xuan, who has smooth skills, has prospered in this place and has become a guest of many Jingzhou aristocratic families.

.

One person can ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs. Zhuge Xuan is not as stubborn as his ancestor Zhuge Feng, so the few people from the Zhuge family in the Han Dynasty came to Jiangdong. This played into Yuan Shu's plan. Except for Zhuge Xuan's lineage, the Zhuge family had

There are also many talented people, such as Zhuge Dan, who is known as the dog among dragons, tigers and dogs.

This family can be said to be the second biggest winner among aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty, second only to the Sima family. Although all three parties lost their bets, this family's glory in the late Han Dynasty cannot be concealed.

There is another reason why Yuan Shu likes the Zhuge family, that is because the talents from this family are all very upright and loyal ministers. Needless to say, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, even Zhuge Dan are loyal to Wei and unwilling to surrender to the Sima family.

In the end, the rebels died in battle. Everyone in the family was loyal and good. It is no exaggeration to describe the Zhuge family in the late Han Dynasty.

…

Changyi, Yanzhou.

"Zhicai, Wenruo, and Yuan Shu are inspecting Jingyi Prefecture, do you think we can take advantage of the opportunity to strike?" Cao Cao said with great interest.

Yuan Shu put too much pressure on Cao Cao. Cao Cao is now even more afraid of Yuan Shu than Liu Bei and Yuan Shao combined.

"I'm afraid this won't work, my lord."

Why didn't Xi Zhicai understand Cao Cao's inner worries? Yuan Shu unified the south and was basically invincible. If there were 13 states in the world, Yuan Shu had already occupied four of them, and he also had Liangzhou.

This made Cao Cao, who occupied Yanzhou and most of Xuzhou, not be anxious.

"Yuan Shu went on patrol and took three thousand elites with him, and Dian Wei also accompanied him, guarding him at all times. Without more than a thousand elites, the assassination would have been impossible. But Jiangdong's defense was very strict.

It’s said that there are thousands of people, but even a hundred people are difficult to organize, so my lord, it’s better to give up this idea.”

"Alas, can we just do nothing and watch Yuan Shu grow stronger step by step?" Cao Cao felt very aggrieved.

He wanted to fight Yuan Shu with a real sword and a real spear, but Yuan Shu had the danger of the Yangtze River and had no worries. However, he was surrounded by tigers and wolves, making it difficult to move. Cao Cao really felt very sad now with the gold horn and silver border and grass belly.

Powerless.

"My lord, we are not helpless. For the present plan, my lord should lead the army to march into Guanzhong and capture Luoyang for the sake of future affairs." Xun Yu said.

"Luoyang is just a ruin, and Sili is even more desolate. What's the use of it?" Cao Cao frowned.

After Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, the entire Guanzhong was in decline and was completely a wasteland. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been indifferent to this ownerless land for so long. He was already poor, so how could he have the time to build it?
