Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 694

"Ziyu made Jiangdong so miserable, do you expect Sun Quan not to hold grudges? I'm afraid that Liangzi will never be able to get rid of it in this lifetime, and that blue-eyed girl's hatred is deeper than the sea, and in the end it's just incompetent and furious."

Zhang Fei ruthlessly told the truth, Liu Bei couldn't help but glared at him, and then helped Lan Tian out of the siege: "Although the political alliance is fragile, it cannot be torn openly. At least we must stand up for righteousness."

Lan Tian smiled and echoed: "Now the world has become a three-legged confrontation. If any one side wants to fight against the other two at the same time, there is no absolute chance of winning. Jiangdong is now the most disadvantaged among the three. It can be used as a help but not a plan. We don't expect Sun Quan to be able to win." To contain Cao Pi, at least not to cause trouble during the Northern Expedition, so the superficial skills must still be done well."

"Uh, although Ziyu didn't take Yu Fan back personally, but Lan Boyang took full command of the battle in Nanye County. I'm afraid Sun Quan won't treat what you father and son did differently."

What Zhang Fei said was very clear, no matter who did it, Lan Tian father and son, Sun Quan would put the account in Lan Tian's name.

Lan Tian sternly said: "Yide probably doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers. The Lingnan News has made this very clear. There is a group of bandits entrenched around Luling and Guiyang. The leader Wang Jin led the bandits into Nanye, Ganxian and other places. By the way, he kidnapped the newly appointed county magistrate Yu Fan’s family and extorted money from the Luling prefect. Jiangdong ran out of cash because of the exchange of prisoners, so he ignored Yu Fan.”

"Uh, that Lan Boyang." Zhang Feixin said, good guy, you are really good at telling nonsense.

"The bandit king Jin Kou was in chaos in Guiyang. Boyang was ordered to lead the army to suppress the bandits. By accident, he got Yu Fan and his family, so he took him back to Guangzhou for resettlement. I didn't force him to become an official. It was Yu Zhongxiang who took the initiative to apply for a job at the Guangzhou Academy." Lan Tian Smile lightly.

Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open like a bull's-eye, he was the best at judging black and white, he shook his head and asked, "What about Bandit King Jin? He didn't fall into Jiang Dong's hands, right? Otherwise, the matter would not be clear."

"This man is very cunning. When Bo Yang was suppressing the bandits, he left his baggage and fled into the mountains. There has been no news of him until now."

"It's still a coincidence."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel bitter for Sun Quan, do you know what kind of opponent he provoked?
Lai Gong next to him knew Lantian better. A cunning bandit like Wang Jin would naturally be 'uncatchable' easily. Maybe this fellow would go to Luling to seek revenge sometime later.

"Being able to be promoted as a talented person shows that Yu Fan has extraordinary talents and learning, but his human nature is very unconventional, and he likes to offend others. Ziyu appointed him as the head of Li Cao, and he may find trouble in the future." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

"Gentlemen are harmonious but different, and villains are homogeneous but not harmonious. Jiaozhou is the time for employing people. Yu Zhongxiang has rich experience in administration, is good at using spears, is proficient in the "Book of Changes" and has good medical skills. He is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. Sun Quan's likes and dislikes, and miss such a talent?"

"Ziyu appoints people on their merits, and Gu Gu admires them"

"Jiaozhou is originally located in a remote village, and its reputation of smog and barbarism spreads all over the world. Talented people in the world avoid it, and the ministers are also clever women who can't cook without rice. The newly established Liucao Yamen is basically in charge of other government offices. I'm going to take over Rinan County, and the number of available people in Jiaozhou will be reduced, so can your majesty send me some from Shuzhong?" Lan Tian complained to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was startled when he heard that, and asked in bewilderment, "Who does Ziyu want?"

"I think that Sima Fei Gongju (Fei Shi) in the front of Yizhou is quite talented. I wonder if the king is willing to give up his love?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Zhang Fei and Lai Gong were very surprised when they heard this. They are close ministers trusted by Liu Bei, and they both knew that Fei Shi's direct remonstrance a few days ago made Liu Bei dissatisfied, because Fei Shi showed a strong attitude on the issue of proclaiming himself emperor. be opposed to.

Now that the postponement of proclaiming emperor has reached a consensus with the officials, Liu Beizheng doesn't know how to deal with Fei Shi. If he is transferred or demoted rashly, it will be easy to be called narrow-minded by the outside world, but he feels an eyesore if he stays around.

On the surface, Lantian was serving important people in Jiaozhou, but in fact he was helping Liu Bei to solve problems. Zhang Fei and Lai Gongxin said that they deserved it.

Zhang Fei just nodded in shock, but Lai Gong secretly remembered this trick, thinking that it should be useful in the future, isn't it more effective than flattering someone and saying a few nice words?

"Since it was Ziyu who spoke, of course Gu wants to fulfill you and Jiaozhou. Tomorrow I will let the prime minister make arrangements, and I will let Gongju (Fei Shi) return with Ziyu on the same boat." Liu Bei did not disappoint Lantian's wishes, and agreed with him. .

"That's great. Also, has the prefect of Xiahou written to you? In recent months, I have appointed him to serve as the head of Xingcao. His health seems to be a little bit unbearable. It should be because of his busy work and frequent travels."

Lan Tian then moved the topic to Xiahou Qi, who had been to Jiaozhou at the same time as Yuan Chen and Lan Tian for several years. I don't know if Liu Bei would remember the old friendship and transfer the two old ministers back to Yizhou to "enjoy blessings".

Liu Bei was very surprised to hear that these two people often wrote letters to him, but they did not express their dissatisfaction or their request to be transferred to Yizhou.

Why did Lan Tian say that suddenly?Could it be that Xiahou Qi was being disrespectful over there?
"Ziyu, what do you mean? Xiahou Qi is disobedient?" Liu Bei frowned.

Lan Tian shook his head, "No, the prefect of Xiahou was exhausted with several jobs. He came to me to tell me that the complaint was over, so he asked Xu Shuang to take over the post of Chief Criminal Cao. He was thinking of reporting to the king."

"Ziyu, you are the shepherd of Jiaozhou. You can take full control of Jiaozhou affairs. Whether it is the former Xia Houqi, Yuan Wei, or the upcoming Fei Shi, you don't need to ask me for instructions." Liu Bei expressed absolute trust in Lantian.

"Cang Wu and Yu Lin are stable in governance, and the two eunuchs appointed by the king are dedicated to their duties, so they will remain as they are and will not be changed. I will slowly look for talents for the vacancies in Liu Cao's yamen."

Liu Bei nodded slightly after hearing this. He once wrote to Xia Houqi and Yuan Wei, asking them how they felt about being officials in Jiaozhou, and also euphemistically suggested that they could send someone to replace them, but they both agreed to stay in Jiaozhou to serve as officials. official.

Maybe it's because they have adapted to Lantian's management model, or maybe the family members have adapted to the climate in Lingnan. The main reason is that the officialdom in Jiaozhou is relatively simple.

In Jingzhou, they would be suppressed by Guan Yu and the gentry of Jingzhou, and in Yizhou, they would be involved in the secret struggle of several factions. Xia Houqi and Yuan Wei felt that Jiaozhou was a paradise.

Lan Tian asked Liu Bei to take Fei Shi, not simply because he wanted to save him from the siege, but because he was throwing stones at him to find a way of hope for the local gentry in Yizhou.

Instead of the Yizhou gentry in Yizhou with the Jingzhou faction, Yuancong faction, and Dongzhou faction, Jiaozhou is a good place to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

If Fei Shi can do well in Jiaozhou, the children of the gentry who stay in Yizhou are likely to continue. After all, no one wants to really empty Laolinquan.
