Subduing Xun Wu and others to be his lackeys was Yuan Yao's preparation to attract talents.
With the memory of later generations, Yuan Yao had already compiled an extremely detailed list of scholars and heroes.
The purpose of coming back this time is to follow the map and pack up all the valuable people in Huainan and even nearby areas back to Yuzhang County.
The first person Yuan Yao visited was Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi, whose eloquence was unique in Jianghuai.
Different from the image of Jiang Qian as a gullible fool in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Qian in the official history is not only outstanding in eloquence, but also very courageous.
"Three Kingdoms" quotes "Jiang Biao Zhuan" to record: Qian has good appearance and is famous for his talent. He is unique between Jiang and Huai, and there is no one to compare with him.
During the Battle of Chibi, Jiang Gan did serve as Cao Cao's lobbyist and went to see Zhou Yu. However, he did not fall into the so-called alienation plan, which led to the tragic death of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Instead, he went to implement the alienation plan assigned to him by Cao Cao.
However, Jiang Gan soon realized that Zhou Yu had seen through his intentions. After returning to Jiangbei, he persuaded Cao Cao to give up the idea of alienating Zhou Yu.
Subsequently, there was no record of Jiang Qian in the history books.
Yuan Yao was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou by Yuan Shu, and was also promoted as the prefect of Jiujiang. He also had the title of General Yangwei, and his status was distinguished and noble.
Jiang Qian was only eighteen or nineteen years old and had not yet received the crown ceremony. According to the ceremony, Yuan Yao could not lower his status and went to visit Jiang Qian at home.
Therefore, Yuan Yao first sent Qi Ji with gifts to invite Jiang Gan to visit him.
However, Jiang Gan stayed behind closed doors, claiming that he was ill and would come to attend the appointment another day.
Yuan Yao thought that Jiang Qian was exaggerating, so he disguised himself and came to see him in person.
Yuan Yao is bound to win this good start!
Jiang Gan's family couldn't stop Yuan Yao and his party, so they had to call Jiang Gan out to meet them.
After seeing Jiang Qian, Yuan Yao knew in his heart that official history was sometimes unreliable.
This Jiang Qian obviously has a sharp mouth, a monkey's cheeks, and a deer's head and rat eyes, which has nothing to do with being "well-groomed".
And what made Yuan Yao couldn't help laughing the most was that he had a bruised nose and swollen eyes, and he walked with a limp, looking like he had just been beaten.
It is indeed "physically ill".
Ha ha ha ha!
Yuan Yao suppressed his laughter and asked Qi Ji to take out the dressing prepared by Hua Tuo to treat bruises and injuries and gave it to Jiang Qian.
After the two talked for a while, Jiang Gan bowed his head and accepted the official position.
He only said that he had recovered from his injuries and would take up his post in a few days.
The Jiang family was just a small commoner in Shouchun, and Yuan Yao came to visit him in person and treated him well, so Jiang Qian naturally had no reason to refuse to serve as an official.
He didn't have the capital to refuse.
No matter what, Yuan Yao finally won!
Next, Yuan Yao took advantage of the victory and went to visit Yuan Huan, who had only come to Huainan to seek refuge in the past few months.
Yuan Huan, courtesy name Yaoqing, was born in the Yuan family of Chen County.
The Yuan family of Chen County is incredible. When it comes to bloodline inheritance, the Yuan family of Runan has to stand back.
The Yuan family comes from the surname Gui, after Emperor Shun. King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty granted great titles to the princes, and granted the descendants of Emperor Shun the land of Chen to establish the State of Chen. Later, a doctor named Yuan Taotu from the Chen Guogong clan was granted the title of Yangxia.
Like the origins of many surnames, the reason why the Yuan family formed an independent "family" originated from Yuan Taotu, a member of the Chen Guogong family.
Yuan, Tongyuan. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Yuan family removed the word "Che" from the word "Yuan" and named Yuan as their surname.
The Yuan family of Chen County is the direct descendant of the Yuan family who lived in Yangxia, Chendi.
The Runan Yuan family is a branch of the Yuan family in Chen County, which moved from Chen to the neighboring county of Runan.
It's just that the Yuan family in Runan developed into the Eastern Han Dynasty, and its population prospered. It even became the family of the fourth generation and the three princes, and a famous clan in Tokyo, far eclipsing the limelight of the Yuan family in Chen County!
It was not until recent years that the Yuan family in Chen County had a slight improvement.
Yuan Huan's father, Yuan Pang, also rose to the rank of Situ, ranking among the three princes. He was also the uncle of the famous scholar Cai Yong.
But this was just the beginning of the rise of the Yuan family in Chen County.
As a later history graduate, Yuan Yao also knew that after the Yuan family in Runan became the dust of history, the Yuan family in Chen County rose rapidly at the turn of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the "overseas surnames" across the Yangtze River were "overseas Chinese", with Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao being the most important. The Yuan family of Chen County, the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chen County, and the Xiao family of Lanling were called the four major surnames. , is a top-grade valve.
Unlike the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun, the Yuan family has never been a powerful person who led the court and made the emperor empty his throne. However, from the Han Dynasty to the Chen Dynasty, there were many people in the Yuan family. They were valued by the Eastern Jin, Liu Song, Xiao Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, and they have always enjoyed the status of a high-ranking Chinese family. Even in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were still occasional figures.
The reason why the Yuan family in Chen County has been able to endure for a long time and have been prominent for generations is mainly due to the family tradition of "loyalty, filial piety and advocating purity" that was formed from the father and son days of Yuan Pang and Yuan Huan.
Each generation of Yuan clan members were famous for their poems and books. They relied on marriage to maintain relationships with different clans. They did not attach themselves to powerful ministers, avoided participating in party strife and coups, and stayed neutral in the government. Therefore, they were loved and hated.
In short, the Yuan family in Chenjun is equivalent to the opposite of the Yuan family in Runan.
One is low-key loyal and filial, the other is high-profile arrogant.
The two families have very different family traditions, which is also reflected in the relationship between Yuan Huan and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Huan took refuge in Huainan and became Yuan Shu's guest in just a few months. The two argued with each other several times.
However, due to his kinship, Yuan Shu could not do anything to Yuan Huan and could only keep a distance from him.
Yuan Huan has been very distressed recently.
He did not accept Lu Bu's request and gave up following Liu Bei. He thought he had avoided two wrong options, but it seemed that choosing to come to Huainan was also a wrong decision.
The future of Yuan Shu Group is simply bleak!
But the arrival of Yuan Yao injected a bright flash of light into Yuan Huan!
There is no doubt that Yuan Yao scored a double kill.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Yao took aim at the third figure.
Unlike Jiang Qian and Yuan Huan, the third character Yuan Yao found was very individual.
It even fits the description of him in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Cao Cao’s father-killing enemy!
The person who caused the Xuzhou Massacre!
Important figures who influence the plot of the Three Kingdoms!
Zhang Kai!
That's right, it was the Zhang Kai who killed Zhang Kai, fled to Huainan with the Cao family's treasure, and surrendered to Yuan Shu!
Zhang Kai was now appointed as a military commander by Yuan Shu.
Unlike other generals, they must be stationed in the military camp and wait for military orders at any time.
Zhang Kai was in the military camp during the day, but at night he had the privilege of leaving the military camp and returning to his own home.
This is a privilege given by Yuan Shu.
Yuan Yao was very curious as to what the killer of Cao's father did when he returned to his house every day. He was led by Zhang Kai's superior captain to visit him directly.
