Among the crowd of onlookers at this ceremony, Xun Shuang easily saw through this.
Xun Shuang, who was watching on the sidelines, began to think seriously about whether to let several outstanding children of the family worship Liu Bei as his disciples, or to get as close to Liu Bei as possible, just like Xun Yu.
Although some of them may be older than Liu Bei.
But it doesn't matter. When three people are together, there must be a teacher. After the correct guidance of Confucius, there is no need to care about age or seniority in the matter of becoming a teacher.
The main reason is that Liu Bei's current momentum has actually reached a whole new level. He was originally a feudal official in charge of the political side, the third-ranked cavalry general in the military, and a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Now that he can make up for his academic shortcomings, his personal power and reputation will rise to a higher level in a short period of time.
Regarding this point, Xun Shuang has a deeper guess.
Liu Bei may have wanted to regard the people of Liangzhou as the basis for his success, build the fundamental power of the Liu family in Zhuo County in Liangzhou, and then use his own connections to recruit people from Liangzhou as helpers in the imperial court to expand. His power.
Liu Bei will inevitably return to Luoyang, but as a newly emerging force, how can the Liu family of Zhuo County achieve their own great cause?
After so many years of hard work by the Five Classics and Fourteenth Family, the best areas and elite groups in the Central Plains states and counties have basically been carved up. The most valuable human and material resources have been owned, and most of them have formed traditions and will not be lost. Easily pried.
As a newly rising family power, it is not easy for Liu Bei to seize food from the tiger's mouth. Moreover, it is not convenient for Liu Bei to compete for resources with these established families before his foundation is solid.
He could only focus on those border areas that the old Yue family looked down upon.
Youzhou is certainly a good choice, but the bad thing is that his teacher Lu Zhi is also the leader of the Yue family.
The Lu family of Zhuo County has a greater reputation in Youzhou than Liu Bei's Liu family, and will not completely belong to Liu Bei and ignore Lu Zhi.
And even if Lu Zhi doesn't care, Liu Bei, as Lu Zhi's disciple, will not compete with Lu Zhi for resources, so retreating is the right choice.
Not to mention Bingzhou, it is not a place where power can be seriously controlled. Powerful men, military leaders, bandits, and Southern Huns worked intensively on that land, making the situation in Bingzhou almost as dangerous as Liangzhou in the past. .
If he wanted to run Bingzhou, Liu Bei would have to work like a sweatshop and fight countless dangerous battles before he could take control of Bingzhou.
Therefore, Liu Bei's only choice was Liangzhou.
Liangzhou was a blank area for the influence of the Guandong scholars. In the Liangzhou area, the influence of the Guandong scholars rarely touched the area. The relationship between Liangzhou and the Guandong scholars was not to say that they were strangers, but they could be regarded as having no contact with each other until death.
The only two people who were extended olive branches by the Wenyue family have basically stopped developing in Liangzhou. Liangzhou is now Liu Bei's Liangzhou, not theirs.
Therefore, Liu Bei most likely wanted to turn Liangzhou and Liangzhou people into the private territory of the Liu family in Zhuo County, bind Liangzhou's wealthy families through academic interests, and through this relationship, put the Liangzhou people completely under his command.
The people of Liangzhou did not have the relationship with Luoyang City and had no support in the past. But now they have Liu Bei. In essence, they have a highly harmonious relationship with Liu Bei that complements each other.
The hatred between the Liangzhou people and the Guandong people cannot be easily resolved. Once they enter Luoyang, they will definitely unite closely around Liu Bei, become Liu Bei's swords, guns and clubs, and charge into battle for Liu Bei's interests.
By then, the Liu Bei Group will definitely not be the little Fengxian everywhere.
The people of Liangzhou would not have a better choice except Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei may face resistance from other forces, for him, as long as the basic base of Liangzhou is controlled by him, he will have room to move around. Even if it is for their own interests, the people of Liangzhou will Will risk his life to push Liu Bei to a high position.
When the people of Liangzhou do not have the opportunity to advance within the prescribed limits, the regional gangsters can resist them.
When the people of Liangzhou reach a certain level of advancement within the rules, the regional darkness may only stimulate them and enhance their combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Liu Bei's subordinates are not only people from Liangzhou, but also people from Youzhou, as well as small and medium-sized families in the Three Rivers Land. The Cao family in Yuzhou is also unclear about him, and the Zhen family in Zhongshan, Jizhou is his pawn.
Unknowingly, Liu Bei had weaved a power network for himself, linking all the power he could use.
Obtaining this crucial inheritance, obtaining the vital righteousness within the rules of the game, and giving it to those who may help him will be the beginning of Liu Bei's quest to reach the top of power.
Plan step by step, bit by bit, but still be sharp and quick.
How far can Liu Bei go?
Xun Shuang did not dare to continue the analysis.
He was even wondering now whether Liu Bei had already calculated everything he would need to do in the next few years before he decided to go to Liangzhou to be a shepherd in Liangzhou.
If so, this guy is too scary.
His official position is far above that of the entire Xun family, and his power in Liangzhou will only be much greater than the Xun family's power in Yuzhou. Overall, Liu Bei's current status, apart from his lack of family background, has already There are no shortcomings.
In terms of his personal power and position, he has surpassed the Xun family in all aspects, and even surpassed most of the Yue family.
At present, there are only a few family forces that can compare with Liu Bei's power.
Simply because Liu Bei has no tendency to return to Luoyang yet, he has to return to Liangzhou to continue to lay a solid foundation.
But who knows how much time he will need to lay a solid foundation?
One year?
Two years?
Three years?
More importantly, as the Yuan family began to seek military power for their family, although Yuan Wei did not say it explicitly, Xun Shuang was also keenly aware that the general trend of the world was changing.
The two families are both excellent families with flexible bottom lines, and they are always one step ahead in controlling the general trend of the world. The Yuan family began to seek military power for themselves. This, in Xun Shuang's view, was a sign that the Yuan family believed that the world was about to change.
What did Yuan Wei foresee?
Is it just to compete with Lu Zhi for power?
Are they just afraid of the huge influence of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's masters and apprentices in the military?
Does he have any other deep thoughts?
If so, it would be too dangerous for Xunshi.
After all, the Yuan family had Dong Zhuo as a pioneer in the military world. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu followed closely behind, and they were not isolated from the army.
However, the Xun family did not have this condition. Their family basically had no relationship with the army. They purely followed the path of Confucian classics and the high-level Luoyang route. They had never thought of intervening in military affairs, and it was difficult to get involved.
In this case, how to develop the power in the army?
If it cannot develop, how can it preserve the family?
At this moment, Xun Shuang began to feel happy about his foresight in a certain sense - Xun Yu served under Liu Bei, and it is said that he is quite valued at the moment. Isn't this a path for the Xun family?
A wise family will not put everything in the same place easily. If there are multiple roads, there will be more chances of survival. As long as not all people named Xun die, the Xun family can continue to exist.
Xun Shuang was thinking a thousand times in his mind and glanced at Yuan Wei inadvertently.
When he saw the expression on Yuan Wei's face, he couldn't describe it as calm.
interesting.
So he approached Yuan Wei and spoke in a low voice.
"Ciyang, you don't seem happy on this big day? This is a big day. You should be happy. If others see it, you don't know what to make assumptions about."
