Chapter 107 The Return of Ziyi
This winter, Liu Gan is very busy.

Because of the sudden increase in territory, because there are fewer and fewer people around, and because of various troubles that keep popping up.

Among them, the most troublesome thing for Liu Gan is the problem of constant banditry in Lujiang River. Another wave came out, and countless thieves and rioters emerged one after another, which was very annoying.

There is troublesome bad news and, of course, exciting good news.

After more than two months of leaving, Tai Shici finally returned as promised, and brought two famous people with him when he came back.

Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu.

Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang.

Tai Shici brought a secret about Liu Yao's death.

It turned out that after Zhou Shu, the prefect of Yuzhang, died of illness, Zhuge Xuan was recommended by Liu Biao as the prefect of Yuzhang. However, not long after Zhuge Xuan took office, the court suddenly ordered Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan. Instead of accepting the appointment of the imperial court, he sent someone to drive Zhu Hao out of the city, so Zhu Hao asked Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, to send troops to help him attack Zhuge Xuan.

The men and horses of the two sides fought many times, each winning or losing. Later, Zhugexuan sent a dead man to seriously wound Liu Yao by means of assassination. The seriously injured Liu Yao lay on the bed for half a month, and soon died in front of the couch. , Liu Yao entrusted the trilogy in his hand to Tai Shici.

In order to avenge Liu Yao, Tai Shici led Liu Yao's old army and joined forces with Zhu Hao to attack Zhuge Xuan. Zhuge Xuan was defeated and retreated to the west city, and asked for help from Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. There was no possibility of defeating Liu Biao in this little part of the old part, so Tai Shici came to Lujiang in person and asked Liu Gan to send troops.

"My lord, just send me eight thousand elite soldiers, and Yuzhang can be settled!"

Tai Shici knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands respectfully and faced Liu Gan, and there was a lot of civil and military discussions in the hall.

Liu Gan pondered for a while, then said slowly: "Ziyi, get up first, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but that our army and Yuan Shu have already started fighting across the board, and many places need troops. There is really no extra troops to deploy."

Hearing this, Tai Shici immediately frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, it's winter, and the area around Lujiang and Jiujiang is freezing, so it's very inconvenient to march. Yuan Shu will definitely not choose to join us at this time." If our army can take this opportunity to capture Yuzhang County in one fell swoop, then we will have a greater chance of defeating Yuan Shu in the spring battle next year!"

Hua Xin said: "Your Majesty, the so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will never come again. Now Zhuge Xuan has retreated to the west city, and the name of the prefect has survived in name only. Although Zhu Hao is appointed by the court, he does not have much real power in his hands. All you need to do is send a strong army into the country, and within a short period of time, Yuzhang will be obtained!"

Liu Gan sized Hua Xin up with great interest, and asked, "Ziyi is eager for revenge. I can understand why Mr. Ziyu is doing it. If I remember correctly, Mr. Ziyu was formerly under Yuan Shu's command. Let's go to the official, I don't know why Mr. Ziyu abandoned Yuan to help Liu?"

Hua Xin said neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, I am indeed an old minister of Yuan Shu, but that is the old Huangli. Yuan Shu and I have different ways and do not agree with each other. I am here today not only to persuade the envoy to send troops, but also to send a letter. I will hand it over to the envoy."

As he spoke, Hua Xin took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Pan Zhang took the letter and handed it to Liu Gan. Liu Gan was slightly surprised when he saw the signature on the letter.

"The letter from Liu Yao to me?" Liu Gan asked in surprise.

"This was dictated by Zhengli before he left, and I wrote it for me." Hua Xin sighed slightly.

Liu Gan never thought that Liu Yao would write a letter to himself, because although the two were in Yangzhou, they still belonged to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but they had no chance to meet each other from the beginning to the end. When Liu Gan was training in Danyang, Liu Yao was in Qu Ah guarded one side. When Liu Gan led his army to Qu'e, Liu Yao had already fled to Yuzhang. When Liu Gan swept Jiangdong, Liu Yao had already returned to the west.

Liu Gan read all the contents of the letter carefully, and immediately understood Liu Yao's intention in writing the letter to himself.

Liu Yao hoped that Liu Gan could replace him and continue to guard Yangzhou. After all, Liu Gan's prestige in Yangzhou was already in full swing, and what was even more rare was that Liu Gan was also a member of the clan of the Han Dynasty.

"This is the assassin's seal."

As Xu Shao said, he took out a small package from his sleeve and handed it over.

Liu Gan took the governor's seal, played with it and looked at it, the corner of his mouth seemed to be a smile but not a smile, it was very playful, for Liu Yao's move, Liu Gan was unexpected and reasonable.

The majestic governor of Yangzhou, in troubled times, has already been regarded as a high-ranking official on one side of the separatist regime, so how could it be possible to change it with the alternation of a seal?In today's Yangzhou, Liu Gan's real power has already surpassed everyone. It can be said that he wants money and money, and soldiers and soldiers. Whether he has this seal or not, whether he is the real governor of Yangzhou is irrelevant.

Guns come out of the government, this is what Liu Gan has always believed in.

"I heard that Mr. Zijiang has the ability to know people. I wonder if Mr. Zijiang can comment on me?"

Liu Gan casually put the governor's seal aside, his eyes fell on Xu Shao, and he smiled slightly. In fact, compared to the scholarly Hua Xin, Liu Gan was more curious about Xu Shao, because Xu Shao had a "Moon Dan Review" The reputation is great, no matter who it is, as long as they pass the "Yuedan Review" test questions, their reputation will definitely be huge, no matter what it is, their worth will definitely skyrocket.

In Liu Gan's view, this "Yuedan Review" is like a kind of media advertisement for later generations.

From this point of view, regardless of whether Xu Shao has real talents or not, just because Xu Shao can create "Yuedan Ping" by himself and carry it forward is not an easy thing in itself.

"I do know a little bit about face to face, sir, can you allow me to take a closer look?"

Xu Shao arched his hands and said, after obtaining Liu Gan's consent, he came to Liu Gan, with a pair of dark eyes, staring at Liu Gan closely for a long time before turning back his gaze.

Liu Gan couldn't wait to say: "How about it, Mr. Zijiang, what can you see?"

Xu Shao frowned and said: "It's strange, it's really strange. I've seen countless people, but I've never seen such a strange face. The face of Shi Jun reminded me of a sentence."

Liu Gan asked: "What are you talking about? Say it quickly!"

Xu Shao said: "Jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements."

Hearing this, Liu Gan couldn't help laughing, and the figure of Monkey King flashed in his mind.

Xu Shao asked puzzledly, "Why is Shijun laughing?"

Liu Gan said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think that Mr. Zijiang is a great talent. I just need someone like Mr. Zijiang by my side. I wonder if Mr. Zijiang is interested in staying?"

Xu Shao hesitated: "This..."

Liu Gan grabbed Xu Shao's hand and said enthusiastically, "If Mr. Zijiang is unable to make a decision at the moment, you can stay and stay for a few days to have a look. If you feel that it is not suitable or satisfied, it is not too late to make other plans."

Xu Shao nodded and agreed.

Next, Liu Gan extended an olive branch to Hua Xin: "Mr. Ziyu, would you like to work for me?"

Hua Xin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, Zhengli and I are close friends. As long as your Majesty sends troops to Yuzhang to destroy Zhuge Xuan, I'm willing to be heartbroken, and I'll do whatever it takes!"

Tai Shici also echoed, "My lord, please send troops to Yuzhang!"

Liu Gan didn't answer, instead he narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought: "Yuzhang, Zhugexuan, Liu Biao..."
