Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 27 I must be a Han ghost, not a Wu Chen

Zhuge Qiao calmed down slightly: "Pan Jun does have great talent. This is undeniable. However, the way to employ people is not to use only those who are talented."

"The situation in Jingzhou is complex and there are many internal worries. As the ruler of Jingzhou, Pan Jun did not think about how to solve the internal worries, but sat arrogantly and ignored it. He even instigated Pan Zhu to stir up trouble."

"If the internal troubles are not eliminated, how can the princes and princes be able to fight abroad with peace of mind? It's just that Pan Jun has a good reputation in Jingzhou and has a long history of political achievements. Even if General Zuo knows that Pan Jun is at odds with everyone, it will be difficult for him to do anything."

"My father used me as a chess piece and asked me to enter the game in Jingzhou, just to use my hand to solve Jingzhou's internal problems."

"Now that we have a joint letter, General Zuo and my father will definitely give careful consideration to Jingzhou's personnel arrangements."

Zhuge Qiao's idea is actually very simple.

One monk carried water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, and three monks had no water to drink.

The current internal worry in Jingzhou is that the three forces of Guan Yu, Mi Fang and Pan Jun are restraining each other. No one is willing to submit to the other, and no one is willing to bow to the other.

If there is no war, the stability of Jingzhou can be maintained. If there is a war, it will inevitably intensify the conflicts between each other, and even push each other to the point of blaming each other, making the situation out of control.

Once Pan Jun is resolved, this contradiction will undergo a qualitative change.

Even if Mi Fang and Guan Yu can't become a tightrope, carrying water to drink is better than drinking without water.

After listening to Zhuge Qiao's answer, Mi Zhu frowned slightly and thought.

Obviously, Mi Zhu is also thinking about whether Zhuge Qiao's plan is really feasible.

a long time.

Mi Zhu frowned: "A joint letter may not achieve the effect A Qiao wants; I think A Qiao has to write another letter to the military advisor. Since Jingzhou's personnel affairs are to be touched, A Qiao also has to put forward some personnel suggestions."

Pan Jun is the governor of Jingzhou. Pan Jun, who can stay in this position for several years, cannot be easily transferred.

Jingzhou's governance responsibilities were very important, so to transfer Pan Jun would mean appointing a talented person whose ability and reputation were similar to Pan Jun's.

Zhuge Qiao thought for a moment and then looked at Mi Zhu: "General Mi has been with General Zuo for a long time and is quite familiar with the talented people in Jingzhou and Xichuan. Is there anyone who can replace Pan Jun?"

Zhuge Qiao was actually considering the candidates to replace Pan Jun, but Zhuge Qiao could not propose these candidates first.

The reason is also very simple.

Zhuge Qiao had not been in Xichuan for a long time. He only knew the names of most of the wise men under Liu Bei but did not know their names, so how could he recommend them?

Take Ma Liang, who has the best white eyebrows in the Wuchang family, for example. Zhuge Qiao and Ma Liang are just acquaintances.

You can't write a letter to Zhuge Liang saying, "I heard that so-and-so has a great talent. Please send so-and-so to Jingzhou to help me." If you really said this, Zhuge Liang would have to doubt the authenticity of the letter.

But with Mi Zhu’s recommendation, it would be different!
  Mi Zhu pondered: "I have four candidates, Jiang Wan from Lingling, Xiang Lang from Xiangyang, Ma Liang from Xiangyang, and Chen Zhen from Nanyang."

"Jiang Wan was once the county magistrate of Guangdu. He was punished by his lord for ignoring government affairs and being drunk day and night. The military advisor admonished him, 'Jiang Wan is a tool of the country, not a talent from hundreds of miles away. His administration is based on the peace of the people, not on embellishments. First.'"

"Xiang Lang once supervised the military, political and civil affairs of the four counties of Zigui, Yidao, Wushan and Yiling. After the lord entered Yizhou, he made Xiang Lang the prefect of Ba County and then the prefect of Zangda. However, he was transferred back to Chengdu at the beginning of the year. .”

"Ma Liang once worked for Jingzhou and was quite talented. Now he has been recruited as General Zuo. He is loyal and honest. Because he has white hairs in his eyebrows, the people in the village call him 'Ma's Wuchang, white eyebrows are the best'."

"Chen Zhen once served under Yuan Shao, and then followed his lord to Jingzhou to serve as an official. After entering Yizhou, he became the captain of the northern part of Shu County. Although he is older, he is loyal and honest, and is good at mediating conflicts."

"These four people are all quite famous in Jingzhou, and they are enough to replace Pan Jun as the governor of Jingzhou." Zhuge Qiao listened carefully to Mi Zhu's introduction to the four people, and already had the most suitable candidate to replace Pan Jun in his heart: "Just follow the instructions Following General Mi’s suggestion, I will send someone back to Xichuan tomorrow to write a letter to my father.”

The candidates suggested by Mi Zhu may not be adopted by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

But regardless of whether he will adopt it or not, as long as Zhuge Qiao submits the list to Xichuan, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will more or less weigh it.

Returning to the post house, Zhuge Qiao made a routine summary of today's plan.

At the same time, Zhuge Qiao was also reviewing a series of events from the time he entered Jiangling City to the present in order to check for any omissions and fill them up.

Since he had to write a letter to Zhuge Liang alone, Zhuge Qiao naturally had to write in more detail.

From the first day when he entered Jiangling City to meet Guan Yu, pretending to be a clumsy nerd; to the second day when he was ordered to check the accounts, Pan Zhu secretly stirred up trouble; to the third day when he deceived Shiren and played chess with Guan Yu; and today's night banquet deceived Mi Fang into joining the barbarian merchants. business qualifications, and jointly submitted a letter to impeach Pan Jun.

Zhuge Qiao has been working step by step in Jingzhou these days, and finally made substantial progress.

"If nothing else happens, Pan Jun will be transferred out of Jingzhou."

"But Pan Jun is just an internal concern that I know about on the surface. Lu Meng secretly bribed and instigated many officials in Nanjun, Lingling and Wuling counties to rebel."

"These officials may rebel at any time, so we have to be on guard."

"I also have to develop some confidants who can be mobilized privately."

Zhuge Qiao thought carefully.

Then the name "Xizhen, the Northern Commander of Lingling County" was written on the plan.

Most of the good generals Liu Bei recruited in Jingzhou, such as Wei Yan, Fu Wei, etc., were taken to Xichuan; Zhuge Qiao almost didn't recognize the good generals Guan Yu recruited in Jingzhou, and it was difficult to judge the details of each other.

All Zhuge Qiao can think of at the moment is Xizhen who once shouted "I will be a ghost of Han, not a minister of Wu" and died for righteousness.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Qiao added the name of Fan Min, who worked in Wuling.

Fan Min was born in a Nanyang family, but his talent was not very strong. He once held a banquet in Jingzhou, but ended up with no food at noon, and dozens of guests left hungry.

"Although Fan Min's talents are insufficient, Fan Min is loyal to General Zuo and is quite famous in Wuling."

"Xi Zhen is loyal to death, and now he is just a small captain in northern Lingling. Even if he is summoned to Jiangling City, he will not arouse any suspicion."

Border counties usually have four captains of the southeast, north and west. Xi Zhen is just the northern captain of the four captains of Lingling County. If it weren't for the fact that Xi Zhen led the people to resist after the fall of Jingzhou, no one would remember Xizhen, the little northern captain. name.

After making the summary and plan, Zhuge Qiao stood up and went outside, looking up at the pale moonlight in the sky.

It is now late May. Counting the ten days spent on the road, Zhuge Qiao has already left Chengdu for half a month.

"The time for the Lord's Northern Expedition is not far away."

"Calculating the time, Meng Da is about to leave Zigui and enter the military room mausoleum."

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but sigh secretly when he thought of Kuai Qi, the governor of Fangling.

Although Kuai Qi was Zhuge Liang's eldest brother-in-law, he chose to be loyal to Cao Cao.
