The second year of Yongjia, January.

After Gou Xi's troops withdrew from Beihai County, Liu Yu led the Donglai Army to occupy most of Beihai County, but the supplies in each city had been transferred and burned out.

Liu Yu's tens of thousands of troops had no food and grass supply, so he could not support the plan to continue to move westward to Linzi, so he had to suspend the collection of food and grass supply.

When Liu Yu finally completed the preparation of materials and supplies, he planned to take Linzi directly while Linzi was weak.

The General Gou Xi of the East had pacified the refugees in Yanzhou and then returned to Linzi. The speed of this wave of marching was far beyond Liu Yu's idea.

In addition, Gou Xi also took advantage of the victory to return and publicize his preparations to lead the army eastward to wipe out the Liu Yu thief heads who occupied Beihai and Donglai.

Regarding the aggressive Gou Xi, Liu Yu wanted to think twice before acting. Oh, it can't be said to think twice before acting.

After Liu Yu was ready to defend again, he found that Gou Xi's previous clamor was a flicker, which attracted Liu Yu's attention and made the Donglai Army fully prepare for Gou Xi's attack in Beihai County and had no time to attack Linzi west.

And by this time, nearly a month has passed.

At this time, it was the time for spring plowing, and even ordinary soldiers had to go home or military camps.

Spring, March.

Fortunately, Liu Yu did not lead the Donglai army to continue advancing, but instead stationed in Pingshou City.

Because at this time Liu Yu had realized that the social characteristics of the Western Jin Dynasty were not easily changed by him alone.

At this time, the aristocratic families have huge power. Without the support of these people, or the support of some of them, it is difficult to obtain and consolidate the fruits of victory.

Historically, even if Zu Ti defeated Jie Hu in the north with Zu Ti's strength, he needed to obtain the support of the Henan family's dock owner to barely defend it. When Zu Ti passed away and Zu Yi's ability was not enough to convince the public, losing the support of Henan dock owners was also one of the reasons for his defeat soon after.

Qingzhou is dominated by the three counties and states of Qi, Le'an and Beihai. Now Gou Xi valued the military and generals from poor families and Yanzhou. Without the support of the Qingzhou family, he could no longer take into account the Qingyan and the two states of Qingyan. Therefore, he had to withdraw from Beihai County, which was without any danger.

Liu Yu urgently needed to find a way to get the support of these local tyrants.

As the saying goes, "a thousand gold horse bones are used to buy a thousand miles of horses, but it is nothing to buy a thousand miles of horses. Moreover, although the powerful men in Beihai County are not considered a thousand miles of horses, they are much stronger than a horse bones.

Therefore, in February, Liu Yu convened various powerful families in Pingshoucheng, the capital of Beihai County, to discuss the oath of Gou. Ju Xian, who had been forced by Liu Yu, was in a nominal position as a high-ranking envoy, and endorsed Liu Yu.

As long as there is no imperial edict from Luoyang in one day and announces Ju Xian’s edict, he will be the serious messenger of the scepter.

In this oath, the positions of the prefect of Beihai County, the commander, the commander, the supervisor, Cao Shi, the chief, etc. were summoned by Liu Yu and granted them to various powerful families of Beihai, and the sect leader of each family was granted the position of military supervisor of Beihai County, and recognized the legality of the wealthy families occupying land from the official law.

As a result, the situation was almost caused by the people of Beihai County governing Beihai County. In an instant, the powerful people of Beihai County at the entire oath meeting were as if they were injected with chicken blood.

You should know that although these powerful people in Qingzhou are deeply rooted local tyrants, they have not received much attention since the Wei and Jin Dynasties since the Yellow Turban Qingzhou soldiers surrendered to Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty.

During the "Eight Kings Rebellion", there were few powerful families in the Qingzhou camp as prominent. Even after the Yongjia Rebellion in history, northern families traveled south on a large scale. The proportion of these Qingzhou families traveled south was very small. Otherwise, it would be impossible for few families from Qingzhou to have ancestral homes in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties of 200 years.

A large-scale appointment of officials in this county is simply overjoyed. In this way, in addition to the top-ranking aristocratic families, other powerful families can also add a lot of qualifications to their families when evaluating officials.

Of course, there is no possibility of a pie falling from the sky.

The reason why Liu Yu granted the governance power of Beihai County to these local tyrants was that the powerful needed to send troops, money and food to support Liu Yu's army. As for the name, of course, it was because the sect leader of each family had already accepted the recruited county soldiers to supervise.

Unlike the recruitment of soldiers from the court that paid for food, these sect leaders needed to provide their own troops, food, clothes, and even auxiliary soldiers to supervise the county soldiers.

These sect masters supervised nearly all kinds of lords of all kinds of feudal lords, and provided support from force and manpower in exchange for the political power granted to them by Liu Zhi.

Most of the Qingzhou powerful men agreed without hesitation, because compared with Gou Xi's full efforts to squeeze, Liu Yu's practice of throwing out governance power in exchange for support was undoubtedly a huge victory.

In this way, these powerful men gained open governance power and Liu Yu received support from soldiers and materials, and this situation almost seemed to be a win-win situation.

In fact, the most harmful thing to this practice is the court and the government, which will almost ruin the court's face.

Moreover, Liu Yu's modified version of the sect leader supervision system is almost the template for the Western Zhou Dynasty's feudal system.

As long as the younger brothers of each family follow me to chop people, the halls at each hall will be distributed to you.

Liu Yu's behavior is to reverse history, which will make the various companies increasingly powerful. Unless there is a powerful force that can suppress these people, it will be difficult to cultivate another ambitious person.

After all, this kind of sect leader's supervision can gain the support of powerful people in a short period of time and expand its strength quickly, but it is a chronic poison. When one day, Liu Yu, the military and political group, cannot continue to expand and these lords of all sizes cannot eat fresh flesh and blood, it is very likely that they will dong an again for various interests.

However, Liu expected that I only know the world that the troubled times are coming soon, even being alone is difficult. There is no leisure to think about it. It would be great to be able to live a few more years now.

It's like some people say that drinking can cause cancer.

Please, boss.

My current question is not whether it can cause cancer, but whether I can live to the age of cancer.
