"Yes, the vernacular written by Sun Quan is indeed very contagious. No wonder the people would pass it on word of mouth. Now the people of Jingzhou have misunderstandings about the lord, but this has no big impact for the time being. As long as it is not introduced into the army, it will be fine, but we must deal with the rumors about the gentry immediately." Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao was also very clear: "Yes, it doesn't matter if the people have bad impressions. They will gradually change and ignore them. But we cannot be careless about the aristocratic families. If they are in turmoil, our great cause will likely be affected."

"Lord, I have an idea, that is, we will move all the patriarchs of these great families to Xudu in the name of the summoning of the emperor, and give them a free position to raise these people first, so that their family will not be threatened without a backbone. If all of them move north during the war, it will cause trouble, but if only the patriarchs of this family are moved, other tribes may be happy to see it because of the power within the tribe." Guo Jia coughed as he said, and after drinking tea, he was much better.

Cao Cao was very concerned about Guo Jia's body and asked, "Fengxiao, your body is fine, the weather is getting colder, you have to take care of it."

Guo Jia could naturally feel Cao Cao's concern for him and said, "Mr. Xie is worried. When such a great enemy is in front of him, although Jia is in poor health, he is still sure. He dare not break the master's plan."

"Nothing is important to the body of filial piety. If you can fight the country again, your body is the most precious."

"Thank you, lord, Jia knows it well, it's okay."

"It's fine if you don't have any trouble."

At this moment, someone outside the account sent information. Guo Jia took it and swept it and handed it to Cao Cao. After seeing it, Cao Cao laughed and said, "This Sun Quan is too shameless. He actually arranged for people to take a walk in the heart of our northern Central Plains. He even called me a fat man with a little black man. He thought I was a certain gang, and said that Xun Yu finally ended up in the Han Dynasty in his life instead of being loyal to me, Cao Cao. This was simply sow discord."

Guo Jia said seriously: "Lord, Xun Yu may be really loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he is also loyal to the lord. As long as the lord does not serve the Han Dynasty, don't worry about Xun Yu's problems."

"You are here, I understand. It's not a big deal if you are here. Haha..."

Later, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of the emperor to summon all the clan leaders of the major families in Jingzhou to Xudu. No matter whether they are wise or foolish, they are usually willing to give them official positions. Who would rather be willing to be in the position of the clan leader in their family? If they go to Xudu, they would not know what the result would be, but they did not dare to resist Cao Cao's orders, because that would be to destroy himself, and then they had to go north slowly. The affairs in the family could only be controlled by letters for the time being. Some people were very interested in passing the position of the clan leader to their brothers first, but they were reluctant to let it go, what if they came back.

The backbone of the Jingxiang family was pulled, and no one had the patriarch to lead the way. Everyone else was fighting for the battle and rarely got together, so they could not form a large force to pose any threat to Cao Cao. In this way, Cao Cao used some money and food to settle the aristocratic family in Jingzhou.

Some patriarchs who were unwilling to go north could only seek refuge in the south of the Yangtze River, but ordinary people could not get through. The two armies were confronting each other, unless they were doing it in detail, who would dare to risk their lives to cross the river? As the people in the rivers and lakes were also afraid to appear at will as the two sides became more and more strict supervision.

Cao Cao's methods soon spread throughout Jingzhou. Pang Degong and Sima Hui sighed together. Sima Hui said: "I don't know if Cao Cao has seen through the matter of helping Sun and Liu. However, Cao Cao dealt with our Jingxiang family in this way. Even if Liu Huangshu can control Jingzhou with the assistance of Kong Ming, the Jingzhou family will suffer heavy losses."

Pang Degong said: "The problem is whether Uncle Sun joined forces or Sun Quan is also unfriendly to the aristocratic family. Most of the aristocratic families in Jiangdong have been finished. The rest is that they can only live under Sun Quan's breath and no longer have any say."

"Yes, Sun Quan gave them certain official positions and money, but they lost their food and tenants, which was no different from ordinary landlords."

The Ma family in Yicheng is one of the families that fled south. Their purpose was to go to Jiangxia, but because they would easily be captured by Cao's army if they went directly to Jiangxia, Ma Su suggested taking a detour, thinking that he would run to the east first, then go south to Jiangdong from there, and then find a way to enter Jiangxia. He became the only family in Jingzhou that escaped Cao Cao's plot. However, the ending was not as they thought.

When the Jingzhou family was attacked, Sun Quan was very happy and said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, the clan leader of the Jingzhou family was taken to Xudu by Cao Cao. When we control Jingzhou in the future, don't spend too much effort to solve them. This is still good, kill two birds with one stone."

Seeing Sun Quan so happy, Zhou Yu started to pour cold water on him: "Lord, the aristocratic family in Jingzhou can no longer stop Cao Cao, nor can they cause any losses to Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao can prepare for the war with all his might. This is not a good thing for us."

Sun Quan knew that he was a little proud, so he thanked Zhou Yu: "Thank you Gongjin for your advice, I was a little proud. But I have confidence in winning this battle. Gongjin, how much you have to worry about the war arrangements on the front line!"

"Lord, don't worry. Now Zijing, Shiyuan, and Yuanzhi are no less than my talents. We and Kong Ming join forces will be fine to deal with Guo Jia. And this is our home court, and we have natural advantages." Zhou Yu is very confident about this.

"Well, this is true, but for Kong Ming, we should be careful. We can take some measures against him while ensuring that we can defeat Cao Cao. By the way, Xiao Fenghuang lost a bet last time and wanted to steal a piece of Kong Ming's underwear. I don't know how he was doing." Sun Quan said and laughed.

"Lord, Shi Yuan is probably doing this. I think I have been going to Kong Ming for drinking recently. I thought I was addicted to alcohol. It turned out to be to steal a piece of Kong Ming's underwear. This is really... Haha, I seem to have gone again today, but maybe I haven't succeeded yet!" Zhou Yu also went to the gossip.

"Who said that I didn't succeed? What do you think is this?" It turned out that Pang Tong came in with a piece of underwear in his hand.
