Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

The people are profitable. The people in the Central Plains do not have the shackles of Western religions. Whoever can give more benefits to the people will tend toward who. The aristocratic families will instinctively safeguard the interests of their own groups. The princes who have some relationship with the Qiang, Humans have bad temperaments, such as Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, Danyang clan generals... and even generals under Dong Hu's name. If these "borderland" generals do not have a strong "lord" over the head, if their "lord" cannot have a long-term understanding, once the "lord" dies, it will cause greater disaster to the people. These people are not born reformers and cannot promote social progress.

According to this "judgment", Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others could not further promote the development of the world. Even if they succeeded, it would not be much different from "Sima Jin". They would enfeoff the wealthy families.

The Yuan family is a top family in the world. The Yuan brothers have been holding a halo since childhood. Even if the two brothers betray the interests of the aristocratic family, the strategists around them will try their best to stop it. It is basically a fantasy to reform.

Liu Bei, Liu Biao and any Liu clan's royal family can become a prince, relying on the halo of the "Han Dynasty".

A soft-hearted mouth.

With the help of the righteousness of "restoring the Han Dynasty", people who are benevolent will be influenced by the declining Han Dynasty from the beginning. It is extremely difficult to change the ancestral etiquette and law. Even if Liu Bei wants to reform, he will be tied up by countless ropes. It is difficult to have further breakthroughs. The only one who can make breakthroughs is Cao Cao!

Cao Cao's grandfather was Cao Teng, the attendant of the inner court, Da Changqiu. In other words, the Cao family is considered a "eunuch party", but Cao Cao is a relatively outlier and has been with the Qingliu people since childhood. For this reason, Cao Cao has always been an unloved child at home.

At that time, the eunuchs were all disdainful to the scholars. It was impossible for a large family to send their children and grandchildren into the palace as slaves, so eunuchs were basically poor people who could not survive. This shows that during the Cao Teng generation, the Cao family was a poor family, but as Cao Teng's power grew, the Cao family gradually rose, but the palace was seriously infighted and was a place with no human touch.

Cao Teng died of illness. The eunuchs of the inner court can give Cao Song some support for Cao Teng's sake, so that he can sit peacefully in the Grand Secretary's position. However, Cao Cao always goes back and forth with the Qingliu people, what can the Cao family do?

Give Cao Cao more support? Once the Ten Constables of the Inner Court angered, if the Ten Constables wanted to kill Cao Song and the Cao family, would the civil and military officials of the Outer Court protect the Cao family? No! The Cao family is a lineage of eunuchs, and the Outer Court cannot kill the Cao family. In this way, they can control the Grand Marshal who is in charge of the world's taxes.

Cao Cao's behavior brought many uncertain dangers to the Cao family. It is normal to become a descendant who is not loved by the family. He suffered repeated blows during his growth process. Not only did he not get any support from his family, but he would also be bound by aristocratic families after becoming a prince. How could he, who is determined to be the world, willing to be bound by others?

Dong Hu believes that Cao Cao is the only person who has the potential to change the world. Whether from the perspective of personality or interests, he has many conflicts with the wealthy families, and he will definitely try to suppress the power of the aristocratic families. This is the progress of the times!

Xun Yu was not stupid. When Dong Hu asked him "why did he escape from Yingchuan County", he had already told him in a vague way that Xuzhou and Runan County had become the forefront of the war. If Xuzhou, Runan County was really not hostile. If there was no intention of the Guandong princes to attack Dong, Dong Hu would not have launched an attack on Xuzhou at this time, but is this the truth?

Both of them are outstanding. Dong Hu knew that Xun Yu wanted to use Xuzhou and Runan County to block the Liangzhou army, and wanted to use this to gain more strategic time and space for the court, but he would never miss the chaotic opportunity in Xuzhou!

The two were silent for a long time...

"Wenruo, we have already made our words clear. The so-called "whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world is actually a competition for the concept of governing the country. Whoever can promote the development of the times is the pride of the gods of this era."

"You and I know very well that even if we seize the entire Jiangbei land, it will be difficult to cross the Yangtze River within ten years. All you can stop is the process of local wars. Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sili School Command, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou will not be affected too much by the war."

Dong Hu turned his head to look at Xun Yu beside him and said, "We believe that as long as you lower the taxes and give the people more time to recuperate, the five governors will only become stronger and stronger. You can't stop this general trend at all. Even if you create some obstacles for us and take down Xuzhou, it will be a matter of time."

"But, have you changed the current dilemma of the court? Have you changed the conflict between the local family in Yizhou and the Dongzhou clan? Have you changed the open and secret struggles of the court officials? Have you changed the fact that the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan become kings?"

"No."

"You have wasted all your time and energy on meaningless things. For us, you are just sacrificing your original state and can't even see the pros and cons. Why do you fight with us? Why do the court compete with us for the world?"

Xun Yu's face suddenly turned pale...

"You are right, Xun... Xun is indeed a bit of a loss. I will return to Yizhou today, hoping... I hope you can keep your promise."

Dong Hu sighed in his heart, stood up, patted Xun Yu on the shoulder twice, and walked with him towards the open door...

"Whether you believe it or not, we would rather see the Han Dynasty that lasted for four hundred years be reborn. As for us... Even if we don't have the Central Plains world, there is still an endless world that needs us to explore and conquer."

"But we know very well that looking forward to the rebirth of the Han Dynasty is just a dream of luxury, and the shackles that hinder the progress of the empire must be smashed."

Dong Hu stood at the door and looked at the distant south...

"We are a mutton ash soup boy in Lintao. He has no foundation in the Central Plains. Even if we take over the Central Plains in Jiangbei, we will face many challenges. It will take ten years to restore people's strength and ten years to win people's hearts and stabilize the foundation."

"ten years……"

"Instead of giving those princes a chance to compete for the world, we might as well give it to the court. This is also the reason why we let Liu Xie and the court go."

Dong Huyan smiled insincerely.

"But we have already made it clear that the war we are engaged in is a struggle for the concept of governing the country, a war for the people's hearts. We will never let the court rob the people's hearts. If we use some means to fight, I hope the text can understand it."

Xun Yu sighed in his heart. He knew that he could no longer stop the man in front of him, and he did not expect that the once rude and rude boy had grown to this point. In the end, he could only speak silently, as if he recognized his words.

Just as Dong Hu sent Xun Yu out of the city, Zhang Liao hurriedly sent an emergency letter, but he did not take it apart in public until he watched Xun Yu gradually disappear...

“What a pity…”

Dong Hu sighed softly, Zhang Liao seemed to know that he cherished Xun Yu's talent, and said in confusion: "If the lord really wants to like Mr. Xun, why don't you keep him?"

"Stay? How to stay?"

Dong Hu was stunned, shook his head and sighed softly.

"Some people can convince with words, some people can buy with benefits, and some can surrender with swords... But some people are beyond the Three Realms, looking gentle and elegant, but with extremely strong temperament."

Lu Zhi opposed Dong Zhuo in person without fear of life and death. Cao Cao and Xun Yu were both teachers and friends. He should not have opposed Cao Cao's claim to be king, but he was the only one who strongly opposed it. Even if he was poisoned and died for his country, he was unwilling to bow his head. How could such a person change his ambition?

But he dug a hole for Xun Yu.

The world is moving forward, and there is a soul of later generations hidden in his body. He knows very well what the future will look like, but this theory goes beyond the cognition of this era and is also a heretic of this era.

The Qin Dynasty only had two lifetimes. In the final analysis, the princes of the world were unwilling to accept the end of "secretization". The most representative one was Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu simply wanted to be a king of Chu and had no intention of becoming an emperor at all. This gave Hanzhong King Liu Bang the chance to take over Guanzhong.

Liu Bang had greater ambitions than Xiang Yu. The entire Western Han Dynasty... including Wang Mang had the ambitions of "the world". They were intentionally or unintentionally weakening the strength of counties, states, and princes, and the great families. However, after Wang Mang's failure, the Eastern Han Dynasty seemed to have entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with financial collapse, and the prefect took control of military and political power, and developed step by step towards vassal states...

This is the fact. The three-part world is the battle for hegemony by the princes. Sima Jin replaced Cao Wei, and the Jin Dynasty became another Zhou Dynasty that was divided into feudal areas. The Sima family divided the world and became princes one by one. This is the decadent thought of the great families in this era.

The Sima family successfully usurped the throne. If it could not get the support of countless great clans, Sima Yi would definitely be killed even if he was a talented person. Why would so many great clans support it? It has a lot to do with Cao Wei's suppression of the aristocratic families.

Whoever reforms will face countless families with great influence!

Dong Hu told Xun Yu in person that if the court did not reform, did not change the concept of governing the country, and did not significantly reduce the burden on the people to win the hearts of the people, the court would not want to fight with him.

But will the court reform?

Will the wealthy families be willing to suffer their own interests?

Dong Hu knew that even if Xun Yu became a powerful minister, if he only eased the conflict between the local family in Yizhou and the Dongzhou clan, the imperial court could at most gain a foothold in Yizhou. If he wanted to dominate the world, he would not think about it. But if he wanted to reform, he would inevitably offend the large clan who occupied a huge amount of land and the population would also have a battle between the two sides, and Xun Yu's fate...

"Please take care of yourself!"

Dong Hu let out a heavy breath. Zhang Liao didn't know what the two of them said, but he instinctively realized that Xun Yu's departure would be a lot of danger...

"You boy became the governor of Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Chen, Liang, and Pei, and cannot be careless, especially when farming is in trouble. Even if there is some turmoil at this time, you must persuade the people to farm as soon as possible!"
