Chapter 867 Competing for Talent
"Cai Tu?" In the Minghou Mansion of Jiangzhou, Mu Jing was looking at the secret letter sent by Hou Qing, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I almost forgot about him all these years, but Hou Qing found him out." !"

These days, he is actually having a headache because of the candidate for the prefect of Xiangyang.

After all, this position does not just need to be capable, but also to have status, not only to be trustworthy in the Minghou Mansion, but also to have a certain influence in Jingzhou, otherwise it is difficult to govern a place like Xiangyang with its intricate foundations.

Unexpectedly, Hou Qing solved this problem for him.

Cai Tu, the county magistrate of Wuyin back then, was no stranger to Mu Jing. Although he was born in a family, his connection with the Mu clan was pretty good, and the relationship was considered very close, but later the Mu clan was designated as National thieves, from the court to the local government, all relations with the Mu family will be liquidated, and unfortunately Cai Tu is one of them.

He lost his official position, and was also given up by his family, the Cai family. He studied hard for many years, but was idle at home. In the end, he could only rely on opening a small school to survive, and his life was very tight.

"Liu Jin, Cai Tu, are you familiar with him?" Mu Jing summoned Liu Jin, the principal of South Study, and asked.

Liu Jin also came out of Nanyang back then, he can be regarded as an old minister of the First Lord, and he knows the relationship and these things the most clearly.

"Some impression!"

Liu Jin bowed his hands and saluted, and replied: "The former master's power was not achieved back then, and he was dormant in Wuyin. The imperial court had the intention of exterminating it many times, but it was because of this person's protection that he was able to escape the court's investigation and become Wuyin. The county lieutenant is the one who made the great achievements of the late master, and I still remember the scene when he and the late master entered Wancheng together!"

"Now that Hou Qing proposes that this person be the prefect of Xiangyang, do you think it will work?" Mu Jing asked again.

"I don't know much about his talent. It's hard to say whether he can use it!"

Liu Jin thought for a while and said: "But I think, no matter what his ability is, his identity is enough to be used. He is a child of the Cai family. Using him as the representative of the Cai family can give him a try as the prefect of Xiangyang County. At that time, the Cai family will be in front of Liu surface, and it will be difficult to escape the relationship. Even if he is personally incompetent, we only need to send one person to assist, and Xiangyang County will be stable. The Kuai family has always been the same, and the gentry in Jingzhou have always been loyal to Liu Biao. This Jingzhou is too difficult to deal with. If one side can vote for our Minghou Mansion, it will not be difficult to rule Jingzhou!"

The end of the Han Dynasty was dominated by the gentry. This is not a lie. Even in Yizhou, the power of the gentry is still strong. The Minghou Mansion can only control the power of the upper class. Most of the middle-level officials are from the gentry, and now they are fighting and killing. , Even if you find out the right reason, you have to be careful.

In Jingzhou, the power of the gentry was even stronger. Liu Biao was able to secure Jingzhou more because of the power of the gentry. The two leaders of the Jingzhou gentry family, the Kuai family and the Cai family, both supported him, and the gentry also supported him.

"I understand this person. This person is a stubborn person. How to persuade him to go out to serve as our blade is somewhat difficult. After all, he is a child of the Cai family. If he understands it, I use him for I'm afraid he will hesitate to plot against Cai Shi!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and asked, "Is Li Yan still in Xiangyang?"

Li Yan has been appointed as the prefect of Shu County, but he needs to explain the military affairs of the Violent Bear Army and deal with the situation in Nanyang. He hasn't returned yet.

"In Xinye, he is now negotiating with Lei Bo to do Lei Bo's work. Lei Bo is a little timid. After all, he is worried that we will cross the river and tear down the bridge. But with the little force in his hand, Li Yan must persuade him to complete Xiangyang. The integration of the county, as long as this task is completed, he will return immediately and take up a post in Shu County!"

"Order, let him go to Xiangyang and convince Cai Tu!"

Mu Jing said: "Back then he was Cai Tu's counselor, and he still had friendship. Now, with this friendship, he can persuade Cai Tu to leave the mountain. As for Xinye, he doesn't care about it. Lei Bo depends on his knowledge. If you don’t understand the current affairs, if you are still stubborn, then you can’t take care of him, you can only use thunderous means, the purpose of my establishment of the Xiangyang Army is to never allow Nanyang to intervene in the south, not even a chance!"

"promise!"

Liu Jin nodded, and took the order and left.

"By the way, how is Yan Yan doing in Hanzhong?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.

Letting Yan Yan go to Hanzhong has several meanings. First, Yan Yan was taken out of the army because he was worried that Liu Yan’s old army was too strong and could not control it enough. It would be a risk to leave Zhang Ren alone. Staying, the two attack and defend, and control the army, Mu Jing can't rest assured.

Second, in terms of Yan Yan's ability, Hanzhong is also a stage.

And the third point is that Hanzhong has spawned some old-fashioned factions. The Minghou Mansion used these powers in the early stage to survive the weakest period without any danger. Now it is inevitable to leave some troubles. It's too ruthless, and it would be better to use Yan Yan to do this. At that time, the responsibility can be shifted to the party struggle.

An old man said that there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Under the general environment, no one can become a lone hero. Surviving in a group is a normal development trend. All parties are naturally formed. Today's Minghou Mansion is no exception. As long as the balance is good, this is not a big problem .

"For now, he's acting quite well!"

Liu Jin said in a deep voice: "After all, Hanzhong is our foundation. Our eyes are all over the counties and cities. We all know everything he has done. This man has a marching style, but he dares to do things drastic. Encountered a little obstacle!"

"Susin?"

"It's Su Xin. Su Xin lost his position as the prefect of Hanzhong, and he was quite upset. He thought that the lord crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and he felt resentful. With Su's power, he blocked Yan Yan's government order!"

"Is this girl looking for death?"

There was a gleam of coldness in Mu Jing's eyes: "If I hadn't worried about using the name of Su Gu, the former prefect of Hanzhong, to enter Hanzhong and get it as my foundation, I would have been rude to him long ago!"

"This person can somewhat affect the reputation of the lord. We did use the name of the Su family to enter Hanzhong back then. He was quite capable after accepting this love. It is reasonable to treat him well, but he has become more and more swollen over the years. It is inevitable!"

Liu Jin said: "It's better to call Jiangzhou and teach Ye Ru a lesson. The friendship between Ye Ru and the Su family is still there. It should still be useful to entrust this person to him for education. If there is no collusion with foreign enemies, there is still a bottom line!"

"Then according to what you said, summon Jiangzhou and order Ye Ru to discipline him well, and tell Ye Mingsheng that if he can't manage the children of the younger generation, then some might as well educate him!"

Mu Jing said coldly.

"promise!"

Liu Jin nodded.

"Xiangyang County has been established. At present, we and Jingzhou have seen through the skin. Whether Jingzhou can swallow this breath is hard to say!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "Even if Yiji can negotiate the best result, Hou Qing A group of people can't be in Xiangyang anymore, how do you plan to arrange them?"

"Chen Nan is going to be sent back to the army, and the Violent Bear Army has left one army commander, so naturally one must be returned!"

Liu Jin said with a smile.

Because he poached Xi Zhicai's corner, this year has been good, Xi Zhicai, that guy, doesn't have the integrity of a scholar, he is like a little rascal when he makes trouble, almost blocking his door every day.

So it is inevitable to be alone.

"What about the rest?"

"I don't dare to use Hou Qing, and I can't use it. After all, he is famous. If he works in the Minghou Mansion, he will be criticized by others. In fact, in order to calm Jingzhou's heart, we should kill him as an explanation, but this kind of thing , we naturally can't do it, it will chill people's hearts to treat heroes badly!"

Liu Jin said: "But this ceremony should not be missed. We and Jingzhou have not reached the point where we can directly tear our face apart. It is time to save face, and we have to do it. Therefore, I think he must be wronged and go to prison for two years. , as a giant bandit, if you don't surrender, you can be exempted from responsibility, and let the people of the world see the fairness and justice of my Minghou Mansion!"

"It's really wronged him!" Mu Jing paced back and forth: "I was ready to lose Xiangyang, it was his persistence to keep Xiangyang for us, because of emotion and reason, he is the hero of our Minghou Mansion! "

"Because of this, we need to take an attitude even more!" Liu Jin cupped his hands and said.

"We'll talk about it when he comes back. What about Tan Su and Chen Ya?"

"These two are also great talents, my Nanshufang is short of talents!" Liu Jin said with a smile, not only these two people, but also the group of Nanyang Taishou's team, he wanted to accept them all.

"You think beautiful!"

Mujing said angrily, if everyone gave it to you, why would you use it yourself?
