Chapter 351

The Battle of Guandu was one of the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms, and it was a key battle to decide who was the overlord of the north, Cao or Yuan. As a person familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Jing had already known the result, so he did not show any surprise on his face. Still poised and calm.

Liu Yu deeply admired Liu Jing's knowledge and city government. You must know that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are the two most powerful princes in the world today. Some of the territory, Yuan Shao owns the four prefectures of Ji, You, Qing, and Bing. When the two territories are combined, there are seven in the world.The winner among them, the careers of Huan and Wen can be expected, and even sweep the world, and it is still unknown.

Because of this, when they heard that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had decided the winner, everyone, including Liu Yu, could not help but show color.

But Liu Jing was unmoved. With this concentration alone, few people in the world can match it.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Hebei is the land of the ancestors of Longxing and the foundation of success. Yuan Benchu ​​took possession of it, so he settled Heishan in the west, flattened Qi and Lu in the east, and destroyed Gongsun in the north. There are four states in Guangxi. Riding thousands of groups, he has the ambition to annex the world; Cao Mengde started on foot and thrived in times of crisis. His ability to use soldiers is unparalleled in the world. Since welcoming the emperor in Luoyang, he has been an official in Xudu, and slaughtered Li Jue in the west and Lu in the south. Yuan Shu, Dongqin Lu Bu, after unifying the Central Plains, wants to gain prestige in the world. Both of them are outstanding people in the world, and their strengths are evenly matched, so it is no surprise that either one wins."

Liu Jing paused for a moment and then said: "However, as the saying goes, 'a centipede is dead but not stiff', Yuan Benchu ​​has a solid foundation and is well-respected. All the scholars and people in Hebei will receive his kindness. Even if he loses a hundred thousand teachers, he will not perish. Cao Mengde It is not easy to seize Hebei, and the two of them are bound to have a fight."

Liu Yu's handsome face couldn't hide his astonishment. Although he didn't come to the front line in person, he could see many problems in Xudu, such as Cao Cao's lack of troops and food shortages, and the continuous rebellion in various places. , Surprised every day.

In such a difficult situation, Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. It can be said that it was a bit of a fluke, and he would be unable to cross the Yellow River in the short term.Yuan Shao got a respite, so he might not be able to regroup and make a comeback.

However, this is the conclusion that Liu Yu came to after Xu Du personally experienced it. Liu Jingyuan was in the south of the Yangtze River, and he came to the same conclusion as Liu Jingyuan based on the news and his own speculation.

Beijin Ferry was very noisy and not a place for conversation. Liu Jing temporarily stopped talking, and then he went to Huanjie, Liu Kang, and other Changsha County officials to greet them. Finally, he took Pan Jun with one hand and Liu with the other.瑍, boarded the car that was prepared by Changsha County Mansion.

From Lingling Shi'an to Changsha Linxiang, the waterway was more than a thousand miles, and it took more than [-] days. Liu Jing was exhausted from the journey all the way, and he was quite tired. Liu Jing returned directly to the prefect's house in the county government.

Deng Yuan received the news of her husband's return, and waited at the door with her son Liu Qi in her arms. Changsha had just ended a war and natural disaster, and the people were poor. Liu Jing repeatedly called on the officials and the people to be frugal. Plain clothes, no hair accessories.But Deng Yuan was born with beauty, even without the rich decorations, he was still very beautiful.

The wheels were rolling and they drove into the prefect's courtyard. Deng Yuan saw that there were many people in the accompanying vehicles. Liu Jing thought that he had something to discuss with everyone, so she hurriedly ordered the maids and servants to move out of the couch, boil water and make tea, and entertain the guests.

"Young Master..." Liu Jing smiled in his eyes, and his voice was exceptionally soft.Then he couldn't wait to take the thick-headed and tiger-headed son from Deng Yuan's hands, hugged him in his arms, and teased him a bit.At this moment, he was no longer the mighty General Anyuan who ruled the south of the Yangtze River. He was simply a husband who had been away from home for a long time and missed his wife and children.

Deng Yuan smiled sweetly and said: "Congratulations, my husband, you are only 22 years old and you are now enshrined as a marquis and a general. After the founding of this dynasty, it is rare..."

Liu Jing said with a smile: "It all depends on the soldiers' lives and fighting the enemy bravely, so that today's achievements can be achieved." After finishing speaking, he embraced his son, took his wife by the arm, walked into the hall calmly, and sat on the main seat.There were eight people who followed him, namely Liu Yu, Pan Jun, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Huan Jie, Liu Ba, Jiang Wan, and Lai Gong.

Liu Jing recruited them to come here, of course he had intentions. Among them, Liu Yu was already the prefect of Changsha, let alone the other seven people, who would become the core team of General Anyuan's mansion.

If you want to talk about the characteristics of this team, it is young. Among the seven members, Lai Gong is the oldest, only 35 six, Huan ranks next, only 32 three years old, Xu Shu just turned 21, and the remaining Pan Jun, Liu Ba, Jiang Wan, and Zhuge Liang were all under thirty, and the youngest Zhuge Liang was only [-] years old.

Being old has the benefits of being old, and being young has the benefits of being young. As the saying goes, "you don't have to be young to be ambitious." When Shizu Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, the heroes were also very young. 23 years old, and others in their 24s abound.

What's more, the seven people are all famous in history, among them Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, and Huan Jie, who either became prime ministers, or became officials to ministers, are well-deserved prime ministers of the country.Pan Jun, Xu Shu and Lai Gong also held high positions.This set of team, let alone Jingnan, is more than enough to manage a country.

After everyone was seated, Liu Jing said slowly, "Liu Biao raised troops for no reason, causing Jingnan to fall into years of turmoil, causing the counties and counties to be alienated. The responsibility of the front. The urgent task now is to establish the Anyuan General's Mansion as soon as possible, and take control of the counties, restore the government order, and stabilize people's hearts."

Liu Jing turned his gaze to Huanjie and said, "Your Huan is a famous scholar in Changsha. In the past, he did not hesitate to take risks and went to Xiangyang alone to see Liu Jingzhou, and asked to collect the corpse of the old master Sun Wentai. The name of loyalty has been spread all over the world. He has lived in Changsha for ten years. , in charge of the county government, governing affairs, and governing talents are second to none. Now I want to use Lord Huan as the left chief history of General Anyuan's mansion, and lead the affairs of the mansion..."

Changshi is the chief official placed by the general. In this dynasty, the right is respected, and the left is respected in martial arts. Zuo Changshi is the highest subordinate of General Anyuan's mansion.

"I don't dare to do it, general, please take it back." Huan Jie got up and left the table, and bowed. "Liu (Ba) Zichu's talent and reputation are all above mine, and when the general and the Biao army were facing each other in Xianglei, Liu Zichu was in the rear, collecting rent and rice, and giving the army a lot of money, so that the soldiers did not suffer from food and clothing. He was able to concentrate on killing the enemy. Later, Zhang Jin raised all the people from Jiaozhou to come, and Liu Zichu led his officials to guard Quanling for more than a month, so that the general can deal with it calmly. I have no merit, so what qualifications do I have to be above Liu Zichu?"

Huan Jie is very self-aware. During the rise of Liu Jing, he hardly contributed anything, while Liu Ba shouldered the responsibility of Liu Jing and Xiao He. Criticism.

Liu Ba sat upright and kept silent, it was difficult for him to speak about this matter.

In fact, Liu Jing also preferred Liu Ba as Zuo Changshi, and Changsha as the center of Jingnan. He considered Huan Jie's unparalleled influence in Changsha, so he proposed Huan Jie as Zuo Changshi.

Since Huan Jie himself voluntarily refused, Liu Jing agreed with the situation, and made Huan Jie the right chief history.

After the long history, it was Sima. This Sima was not the army Sima who led the army in battle, or the Sima of other departments, but was in charge of the general's military affairs, which was equivalent to the role of the chief of staff in later generations.

Liu Jing regarded Pan Jun as the left Sima and Xu Shu as the right Sima.Zhuge Liang was also appointed as the military adviser, and Jiang Wan was the chief bookkeeper.

Finally, there is Lai Gong. Liu Jing originally recommended him to the imperial court to serve as the prefect of Changsha. After all, the position of prefect of Changsha is too important and must be his own talent. Lai Gong is his half-teacher and the elder brother of his sister-in-law Lai Ci. The prefect of Changsha couldn't be more suitable.

Reluctantly, by mistake, Liu Yu replaced him as the prefect of Changsha. In order to "compensate" Lai Gong, Liu Jing named him as the captain of Bi Erqian Shi Zhengyi. Shi Huanjie, Zuo Sima Pan Jun, Right Sima Xu Shu, Military Adviser Zhuge Liang, and Chief Secretary Jiang Wan were in charge of Jingnan political affairs.

In addition to Changshi, Sima, military adviser, and master book, Liu Jing will also set up positions such as chief secretary, joining the army, and sub-supervisor.

If he really did this, it would be tantamount to opening a mansion, and General Anyuan, just a miscellaneous general, is not qualified to open a mansion to manage affairs unless he gets permission from the imperial court.

However, as General Anyuan, Dong Du the four counties in Jingnan, he has the power to concurrently manage political affairs.Secondly, it is now a troubled time, and few people will continue to stick to the rules. Sun Quan's current official position is the general who seeks captives, the prefect of Kuaiji, and he is not even qualified to be the governor of Jiangdong.

The specific matters will be discussed with the ministers when the government is held tomorrow.

Afterwards, Liu Jing brought the topic to the north. Liu Yu started talking about Du Xi when he passed by Xi'e, and then went to Xudu, and told what he had seen and heard, in every detail.

Liu Jing had already learned from Zhuge Liang before that Du Xi was currently serving as the magistrate of Xi'e County, north of Wancheng in Nanyang. .Listening to Liu Yu's words, it really is so.

Liu Jing couldn't help sighing: "Brother is a famous scholar in Yingchuan. If you are weak, you can hear it in the county. You are very talented. You are really a national scholar. Yingchuan people, such as Xun Wenruo and Zhong Yuanchang, are quite successful in the court. Why don't you see them reused?" ? If the eldest brother comes to seek refuge, I will definitely treat him as my thigh."

It's a pity that this is destined not to happen. Du Xizhi is aiming to become a good assistant to the country and rule the world. It is impossible to abandon the imperial court and go to the foreign domain, even if the two have a deep friendship.

Liu Jing shook his head. The two are destined to become enemies in the future. He only hopes that the two will not face each other on the battlefield by then.

Then I heard Liu Yu talking about Xun Yu, and his words showed deep respect. Liu Yu was arrogant. He had lived in Changsha for many years, and there were only a handful of friends who could be called friends. He didn't even bother to do superficial skills, otherwise, as a scholar in the north, he wouldn't be unknown and unknown after many years.He admired Xun Yu so much, so one can imagine how much Xun Yu's personality charm is.

Liu Jing was also full of admiration for Xun Yu in his heart. In a chaotic world full of human face and animal heart, where wolves are in power, and there is no shame, it is so rare for a person who can stick to his heart, ideals, and beliefs without being driven by fame and fortune.

When Cao Cao expressed his intention of calling the public, Xun Yu replied: "This is a righteous army to rule the country, uphold loyalty and sincerity, and keep the truth of concessions; a gentleman loves others with virtue, which is not appropriate." Although after thousands of years, reading It's still moving.

When he said these words, I don't know if he expected his own ending...

Then Liu Yu talked about the Son of Heaven again, and there were some things he couldn't say clearly, but his opinion of the Son of Heaven in his heart was obviously not too high.

After all, it is inappropriate for a minister to talk about the Son of Heaven. Liu Jing quietly ended the topic and turned to other places.

While everyone was chatting, Huan Jie suddenly mentioned Yizhou. Not long ago, civil strife broke out in Yizhou.Liu Zhang's east barrier, garrisoned soldiers forbearance, in case Liu Biao's Zhengdong Zhonglang turned Zhao Wei back.
