Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 896 Give You a Ride

Seeing Jushu complaining, Yuan Xiyin smiled and said: "I have thought about this problem, but the official position given to you is too small. I am going to appoint you as the governor of Youzhou. How about it?"

Unexpectedly, Jushou heard this and shook his head, "No, official positions are not important. What I want is people. I am short of people. I am short of people!"

To be fair, Jushou's ability is enough for him to play the role of the lord's deputy in any big state in the world.

The key problem is that the lord has more than one deputy. From military affairs to political affairs, from city construction to appointment, it cannot be done by one person. To make matters worse, Yuan Xi is still a hands-off shopkeeper who is not in charge of Jicheng all year round.

This puts a lot of things on Jushou's shoulders, and he must act prudently because no one above him can take the blame!
What's more, Yuan Xi is a thief. On the surface, he has the idea of ​​​​letting his subordinates work in one place, and disperses the counselors in his hands. Now Lu Xun is in Jianghuai, Guo Jia is in Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang is sent to Qingzhou for training, and Tian Feng is going to The Bohai Sea gave everyone the power to act arbitrarily, and the officials could not find any excuses.

Jushou was the first to arrive in Youzhou, and Yuan Xi gave him the heaviest task. Not only did he take care of Youzhou, which had the most complicated situation, Jushou was also responsible for most of the military affairs in Montenegro.

Although there is still Tian Yu on the surface, Tian Yu only has a lot more affairs, and he focuses on the planning of the Bohai Sea and the border areas. As a result, the judges in Jicheng have to personally review every detail, and after two years, Jushu felt even more tired than in Jizhou!
Now Jushou is slowly getting the hang of it. Yuan Xi is too mean to his subordinates. As long as he can't be used to death, he will use him to death!

Now he proposed to add people in front of Yuan Xi because he couldn't bear it anymore. The population of Jicheng was almost ten or two hundred thousand, and Jushou was now actually in charge of Youzhou affairs. What's the difference between having the title of Biejia and having the title of governor?
Everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing. Jushou looked like a rabbit frightened by thunder. Lord Yuan Xi could really make people anxious.

Yuan Xi glanced around and recognized Gao Lan in the crowd, "Brother Gao, what are you laughing at?"

"It's obvious that Guo Tu has colluded with Cao Cao a long time ago. After I learned about the battle of Qingzhou, I guessed that Guo Tu was silenced by Cao Cao."

He had previously asked Gao Lan to lead the army, but when he returned to Jicheng, he found that Gao Lan had not yet taken the Youzhou military post. He thought that Gao Lan had been resting for several months. Could it be that Gao Lan didn't want to fight in the future?

Gao Lan couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Yuan Xi turned to Jushu and said, "I have recruited many officials between Jianghuai and Huaihe, but they may not understand the situation in the North, so they won't be able to use them for the time being."

"As for counselors, Yuan Tan's two great counselors, Guo Tu, are dead. I have not appointed Xin Ping for the time being. Instead, I have left them in Qingzhou under the supervision of Military Advisor Zhuge."

Gao Lan smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, there is really something wrong with the injury."

Yuan Xi nodded and thought that Guo Tu was really worthless. He was not a human being inside and outside, but he could make Cao Cao take action. First, Guo Tu might know some secret things, but his Guo Tu ability was only among the counselors in Jizhou. It's average, but it's really not that important to Cao Cao, who has so many advisers.

"Even if you don't go into battle, you can still train troops and integrate soldiers from all over the country. You still need Brother Lai."

The man was startled and quickly stood up and said: "The lower officials are less talented and less knowledgeable, and it is my branch that is really causing trouble in Jizhou."

He thought for a while and said: "Gongyu, let's lead the governor of Youzhou first. There is no more suitable candidate for this position except Mr."

Jushou saw that he could not refuse, so he had to stand up and thank him. Everyone congratulated him, but Yuan Xi pointed at the people in the hall and said: "You can do the farewell for me and my husband."

Yuan Xi was startled when he saw that Gao Lan's expression did not seem to be fake, and then said: "I'll ask Mr. Yuanhua to take a look at it for you later."

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "The only reason I let you do it is because you are qualified enough."

Everyone looked at it and saw that it was Yuan Shu's younger brother Yuan Yin. They were also surprised and thought that this was really an unexpected choice.

"When we were in Shouchun, you were Yuan Shu's deputy, and you were in charge of all Jianghuai affairs. I have no doubt about your ability."

"Does Gongyu want him?"

"You ran to Youzhou, but you went home and hid. Don't tell me that your injury hasn't healed yet."

After Yuan Yin was captured in Shouchun, he first followed Yuan Xi to meet Yuan Shao in Yecheng. He was acquitted because of his meritorious service. Yuan Xi then asked him to come to Youzhou as an official, and assigned him to work under Ju Ju, in terms of his ability to do things. , Yuan Yao is no problem, but because he comes from the Yuan Shu branch, he acts very cautiously to avoid making mistakes, so he usually keeps a low profile, so everyone is so surprised.

Ju Shou thought for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Forget it for the time being. Yuan Tan's men are deeply involved with Cao Cao. I heard that Xin Pi had defected to Cao Cao after being captured. Xin Ping's position is really not reassuring."

"I also know your concerns. Isn't it about Yuan Shang being assassinated by Yuan Yao?"

Yuan Yin smiled bitterly. He really thought so. When he heard that Yuan Shang was actually assassinated by Yuan Yao, his eyes darkened. The two Yuan clans were divided into two factions because of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. , both suffered a lot of casualties. Fortunately, Yuan Shu died and the obstacle between the two branches disappeared.

Now that the Yuan family has just begun to re-repair and internally integrate, things like Yuan Yao have happened. The key is that Yuan Yao was resurrected by Yuan Shang, and it was a grudge avenged. As soon as this incident happened, Yuan Xi's subordinates , how would you view Yuan Yin and others? Yuan Xi turned to the crowd and said: "You can also see that when I employ people, I don't care about their background. As long as they are qualified for the job, whether they are traffickers, sons of good families, or scholars, I am willing to make the best use of their talents and give them a suitable position. "

"Now among my subordinates, there are people who come from poor backgrounds, and there are also people who are close to me. I will not deliberately avoid them."

"Yuan Yin is my uncle. Although he was under Yuan Shu before, but with the beheading of Yuan Shu and his son, it is meaningless to dwell on the past. Now there are many noble clans in Jicheng. I think my uncle's previous experience is the way to deal with this. What do you think is the most suitable candidate?"

When everyone heard that Yuan Xi had already made up his mind, they stood up and agreed to express their attitude. Yuan Yin was moved when he saw Yuan Xi publicly supporting him, and immediately took the post.

Jushou immediately spoke up and said: "Over at Black Mountain, if Ambassador Zhao is not here permanently, he still needs someone in charge."

Yuan Xi understood in his heart that Montenegro was very important in his territory because of its vast territory, large population, and production of salt-iron coal mines, so he had to find someone reliable.

He asked everyone to recommend them, but they couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while. Zhang Liao said: "Leave aside government affairs in Montenegro, in terms of military affairs, in addition to Zhaozhou Mu, Yang Feng also leads an army alone. Isn't it a bit unsettling?" the elements of?"

Yuan Xi thought about it and suddenly laughed. Everyone, including Zhang Liao, was confused. In fact, many people wanted to say what Zhang Liao said. Is there anything inappropriate?
Seeing Zhang Liao's strange expression, he smiled and said: "Wen Yuan, don't think too much, just live for a while, maybe you will be a little embarrassed."

Zhang Liao was confused. Did he have anything to do with Yang Feng?

Yuan Xi sighed: "Actually, I had a favorite candidate before. Unfortunately, he was interested in the emperor and went to Huaicheng. As a result, he encountered Cao Cao and was kidnapped to Xu County. I don't know what is going on now."

The old man among the officials understood that Yuan Xi was talking about Liu He. This was the clan named Liu that had the best relationship with Yuan Shao. When Liu He was in Jicheng, his status was second only to Zhao Yun. Unfortunately, he later defected to the emperor. , and later there were even rumors that he was killed during the Huaicheng Rebellion.

Yuan Xi sighed again: "The second suitable candidate is Mr. Zhengnan."

"But the day before yesterday, I received news that after being imprisoned by Cao Cao for several months, he refused to surrender and had died in prison."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Zhongzhong, especially the original Jizhou officials, were shocked. Shen Pei was actually killed like this?
Yuan Xi sighed: "This news has just reached me. It should be very reliable. Although Mr. Zhengnan acts headstrong, his loyalty to the Yuan family is unquestionable."

"Come here, serve wine and pay homage!"

Immediately, a maid brought wine. Yuan Xi held the wine glass and led the officials to pay homage to Shen Pei from a distance. Jushou and others also felt heavy. If they had stayed in Yecheng, they might have ended up like this, right?

Yuan Xi put down his wine glass and sighed: "Heishan does need someone to be in charge, but that place is not easy to stay in. General Zilong will go north next year, and the person in charge who goes there will have to face Zhong Yao in Huaicheng. That is not a good idea. Deal with it.”

What Yuan Xi has not said yet is that the third suitable candidate is actually Jia Xu.

However, Jia Xu's loyalty is very questionable, and he is obviously biased towards Cao Cao. If he takes advantage of the situation after taking office, and really colludes with Zhong Yao to sacrifice Heishan, Yuan Xike will vomit blood, so he would rather let Jia Xu stay in Liaodong He farmed until death and refused to let him get close to Cao Cao's territory.

Yuan Xi had a headache. Sili was well managed by Zhong Yao. He was a severely underestimated person and had discovered many talents for Cao Cao. In Yuan Xi's eyes, this person was the biggest threat to Cao Cao.

Moreover, according to the news, Sima Fang is also under Zhong Yao. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to sway Sima Yi. In a few years, I will meet this person on the battlefield, right?

As the territory expanded, Yuan Xi faced more and more problems. It was fine when he was only in Youzhou, but now that the territory has expanded several times, the number of employees has begun to be stretched.

He turned to Yuan Yin, "What do you think of Liu Ye?"

Yuan Yin didn't expect Yuan Xi to ask. He thought for a while and then said: "He has great talents, but his leader Liu Xun seems to be under Cao Cao. Will he have any influence?"

Yuan Xi understood what Yuan Yin meant. Liu Ye had no problem dealing with Jiang Dong, but if Cao Cao used Liu Xun, Yuan Yin did not dare to say anything.

He couldn't think of a clue, so he had to say: "Let's discuss this later."

Yuan Xi was actually envious of Liu Biao, because many people had fled to Jingzhou during the chaos in the country. As a result, there were not many available people left in the Heishan, Jianghuai, and Jingzhou areas. Jingzhou was indeed filled with Ming people, which could be said to be a waste of natural resources.

He straightened up and said, "Now let's start discussing the use of troops next year."
