Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 433 Bullying honest people

"Please ask me, everything is fine." Xun Chen said calmly.

"I have something to discuss with you. Cao Cao pacified Hebei. The three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were all killed by Cao Cao. The only remaining general was Yuan Mai. I was worried that Cao Cao would not give up and insisted on killing them all. Absolutely. I don’t know what you think Mister should do?”

Xun Chen knew Zhou Cang's thoughts well, and Xun Chen was also worried about it.I and Yuan Mai keep a low profile and try not to go out, but as long as we go out, we will be welcomed by Hebei people, which is not a good thing.

"The general has only one son, please let me preserve the blood of the general." Xun Chen started playing charades again and kicked the ball back.

"I am a little embarrassed about this matter. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang defected to me. I intended to be protected by the emperor, but I failed to escape Cao Cao's clutches. I feel deeply guilty about this. I wanted to protect Mr. Yuan Mai, but I was afraid that Cao Cao would Qiang, if he breaks his face with me and forcibly sends troops to Jinzhou, if the rescue fails, if the young master makes any mistakes, I will bear the blame."

Zhou Cang made it very clear that he could not hand over Yuan Mai, but Jinzhou was too close to Cao Cao, so it was difficult to guarantee Yuan Mai's integrity.It sounds like a good reason, but everyone knows that Cao Cao will not turn against Zhou Cang because of a down-and-out Yuan Mai, and make a big move.This reason is just to make everyone look good.

"Last time, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang came to Jinzhou to meet Young Master Yuan Mai, but I refused the door on the grounds that Young Master is studying at Liaodong College and not in Jinzhou."

Xun Chen continued to play riddles. These few words had two meanings. One was to mention two people again, to wake up Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang did not accept the two and handed them over.The second is that Yuan Mai can go to the academy to study.

"Sir, you are joking, how can you enroll in the academy with a noble status, and besides, there are so many well-educated people around you, why should you study in the academy?"

Xun Chen's face changed, what is Zhou Cang's plan.

Zhou Cang continued: "In Xiangping, don't drive Wang Lie to suggest that I build Liaohou's mansion. I intend to build a mansion in Pingzhou and Jeju. How about managing the government affairs for me?"

Zhou Cang's meaning is also very clear, I want to build my Hou's mansion, let Yuan Mai be the supervisor, and I have been in Xuzhou for a long time, so let Yuan Mai live in it.The identity is a guest, so the so-called steward, what's the matter?It's nothing more than the eating, drinking, and sleeping of the people in the mansion. Don't let the Hou's mansion be idle and dilapidated.Why do we need to build two places for the construction of the government?Xun Chen understood Zhou Cang's subtext. This was proposed by Wang Lie. Actually, I didn't mean it. Since he proposed it and Yuan Mai is fine, let's build it. The meaning of going deeper is , Zhou Cang has thoughts about Wang Lie, otherwise he would not say so, and he would not bring Wang Lie to Jinzhou.

Xun Chen and Xun Yu are brothers, and their intelligence is not inferior to Xun Yu's. They fully understand Zhou Cang's meaning, and the identity of Keqing is the most suitable. Otherwise, what else can Yuan Mai do, so he won't be raised like a pig Well, it's even more inappropriate to serve under Zhou Cang.Xun Chen made a deep salute: "The envoy is so thoughtful, Xun Chen thanked the envoy. Since the young master is a guest and has grown up, Xun Chen should not be by his side anymore, and is willing to listen to the envoy."

"If you have a great talent, you will be able to catch up with Xuzhou if you have a gentleman in Liaodong."

On the second day, Zhou Cang, Wang Lie and others inspected the people. "Farewell, king, more than half of the people in Jinzhou are from Hebei."

"My lord, Jinzhou is the closest to Hebei. Although some have moved to other counties, most of them are still in Jinzhou. Prefect Xun is diligent in governing, and he is well-governed, and he is very popular."

"It's a good thing for Hebei officials to rule Hebei people, but this is not in Hebei, but in Liaodong." Zhou Cangchang sighed.

Wang Lie suddenly realized that Jinzhou is well managed, but isn't this also called a small Hebei?Zhou Cang is worried about this.Wang Lie's EQ is not high, but his IQ is not low. No state shepherd is willing to see the counties and counties under him become a whole, so what will happen in the future?It seems that Jinzhou is going to be replaced by a prefect, but who will be replaced?Wang Lie felt that he was the most capable.

"Your Majesty, Wang Lie is willing to come to Jinzhou to relieve your worries."

Bullying an honest person, Zhou Cang blushed. "Then please don't bother the king, oh no, it should be the prefect of the king. But those who can do more work, I want you to be the inspector of the two counties of Jinzhou and Lushun, the governor of the civil affairs and official administration of the two counties, and the prefect of Jinzhou."

Bie Jia was originally a deputy governor, so he would be degraded if he became the prefect, so Zhou Cang arranged for Wang Lie a new position, which was announced hundreds of years in advance.

Zhou Cang ordered Wang Lie to serve as the inspector of Jinzhou and Lushun counties, and also the prefect of Jinzhou; Zhou Xi served as the inspector of Xiangping and Xuantu, and also served as the head of the supervision department; Xun Chen was the governor of Pingzhou.

On the third day, accompanied by Wu Anguo, Zhou Cang inspected the barracks and praised Liang Guang's construction of the cavalry barracks.

On the fourth day, Zhou Cang rushed to Xuantu, Wang Lie stayed in Jinzhou, Xun Chen went to Xiangping to take office, and Yuan Mai went quietly with him.

Xuantu County was established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was originally in the north. Later, various nomadic tribes rose up and were slowly compressed to the south. During the Jian'an period, most of them were swallowed up by Goguryeo, leaving only a corner of Liaodong. Southeast and Lelang are separated by the Yalu River.After several years of fighting, the population was only 20, and after immigration, it only reached [-], of which Han people accounted for [-]%, and Hu people of various ethnic groups accounted for [-]%.

Zhou Cang walked all the way, frowning all the way, there are few people.Bocai, Qu'a, and Guan Hai welcome Zhou Cang into the mansion, and Zhou Cang sees the legendary Boba, who is quite a bit like Bo Cai back then, and a bit more powerful.

Bocai also had some experience with people's livelihood in the Dabie Mountains for several years. He told Zhou Cang that despite the fact that Xuantu County only has a population of more than 20, it is already considered densely populated in the north.The relationship between the Han people and the Hu people was considered stable. This was not only because of the powerful deterrence of force, but also because of Zhou Cang's tax exemption policy. In addition, the long-term mixed residence of Han and Hu people also led to intermarriage among various ethnic groups, so the contradictions were not prominent.

When it comes to military affairs, it is inevitable to talk about Xianbei. Now King Kebi of Xianbei can rely on Cao Cao's support to compete with Shanyu Budugen. Both of them are seeking the support of Fuluohan, the third force of Xianbei.Budugen saw that Kebi could gain benefits from mutual trading with Liaodong, and he was full of confidence with Cao Cao, so he wanted to seek an alliance with Liaodong. Bocai only agreed to mutual trading, but did not agree to form an alliance.

Bo Cai suggested that since the civil war in Xianbei, Xuantu would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and obtain income such as cattle and sheep from both sides. Zhou Cang's northward expansion policy should be delayed.

Seeing Zhou Cang pondering and saying nothing, Bo Cai said: "I came to Xuantu and I found out that the area occupied by this county is several times larger than it is now. Please take a look, my lord." Bo Cai unfolded the map, "Goguryeo still has two vassal states. They are Beiwoju and Dongwoju respectively, and Xuantu County was governed in Beiwoju when Emperor Wu was in power."

Zhou Cang suddenly became interested. He knew nothing about the situation in Northeast China during the Three Kingdoms period, including these allusions. "Then Zang Ba pacified Goguryeo, are these two countries still there?"
