Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 148 Entrusting the Generals
Feng Yaohe, Xu Shu and the generals checked the map of Runan, and decided to determine the five major cities in Runan County according to the rivers. These five major cities are all close to Ru River or Ying River, which is very convenient for transporting food or troops.

The first city is Pingyu City, the center of the county government, surrounded by Yingshui. Its importance is self-evident. Naturally, Feng Yao, as the prefect, personally governed, and divided eight counties centered on Pingyu. Feng Yao also led the central part. He took the post of postal supervisor, and officially appointed Zhou Zheng as the county magistrate of Pingyu County, assisting him to be responsible for the main urban defense tasks of the county.

The second city is Ruyin, the most important city in the east of Runan. It is located in the center of the east, and Rushui flows through the north of the city. No matter how you look at it, Ruyin is second only to Pingyu, the center of the county, in terms of importance. It is an important transit point connecting Pingyu and Shouchun, and it is the most important city in the rear! !Many family members of the generals also moved to Zhuangyin City, so Ruyin City must be managed by a great talent, and Feng Yao's most trusted subordinate.

All the generals unanimously elected Lu Fan, the current magistrate of Shen County. Although Lu Fan did not follow Feng Yao to fight against Runan, at that time, Shen County was an important place in the rear, so Lu Fan was appointed as the county magistrate. The effect is no less than that of Zhou Cang and Ji Ling who have won several consecutive cities!And Lu Fan's talent is enough to take on this great task!

Feng Yao immediately reappointed Lu Fan as Ruyin county magistrate, and also took the post of postal supervisor in the east, inspecting ten counties in the east of Runan.

The third city is the county seat of Ruyang County. Ruyang is the hometown of Yuan Shu, that is, the hometown of Feng Yao. The three cities of Yin and Shouchun are tightly connected by a Ru River, and they are also cities that must be contested by military strategists.

The money and grain of half of Runan County can be easily passed directly from Rushui to these three cities!In Feng Yao's memory, his father, Yuan Shu, was hit by the double blow of drought and plague before he failed. So although Feng Yao didn't explain it now, but in the dark, he has already set up two plans for his father Yuan Shu's Shouchun City. lifeline! !One is Rushui, and the other is Yingshui!As long as there is a battle in Shouchun, or a battle in Runan, the troops gathered in these five major cities, money and food can quickly reach Shouchun City, and Shouchun City can also support these five major cities through these two water streams.

Another reason why Ruyang is the third city is that it is close to Chen State. Although Feng Yao has not attacked Chen State explicitly, Feng Yao's next goal is to attack Cao Cao in Yanzhou through Ruyang and Chen State. Support father-in-law Lu Bu, officially marry his wife Lu Lingqi and go home! !

Originally Feng Yao wanted to appoint Zhou Cang to take on this important task, but Zhou Cang wanted to be closer to his enemy Li Tong so that he could take revenge. In the six counties in the north, make full preparations for attack, accumulate food widely, and recruit more troops.

The fourth city is the county seat of Dingying County. Dingying City is located in the upper reaches of Yingshui River and Pingyu City. It is only more than 100 miles away from Pingyu City. From Dingying to Pingyu City, you can go directly to the Huaihe River. , and then go down the river to reach Shouchun City, which is the second lifeline!

Fifty miles to the south of Dingying is the county seat of Wufang County, and the border from Dingying City to Wufang County is only [-] miles away. After these [-] miles, it is Li Tong's territory!

Zhou Cang's father was the county magistrate of Wufang County two years ago, but was framed by Li Tong's scheme. Zhou Cang has never forgotten this hatred!On the battlefield, Zhou Cang is the most desperate way to kill the enemy. Why?It is because Zhou Cang can only vent his anger on the battlefield, every enemy is like the incarnation of the enemy in Zhou Cang's eyes, kill them quickly! !Every time when he was about to kill the enemy, Zhou Cang would roar angrily: "Hack you! Hack you!..."

With these angry roars, others thought that Zhou Cang liked to kill people, but only Feng Yao understood what Zhou Cang was thinking.

Feng Yao appointed Zhou Cang as the magistrate of Dingying County, and he was also in charge of the post office in the west. When the time is right in the future, killing Li Tong to avenge Zhou Cang is something Feng Yao has long promised in his heart. Whether it is to take full control of Runan, take down Li Tong's three counties, or for revenge, Li Tong must die! !
The fifth city is Shenyang City. Although Shenyang City is not close to Yingshui, there is a small river outside the city that can lead to Yingshui. The counties in the south are far away, so only Shenyang City It is most suitable. Although it is far away from Pingyu, it is more than 100 miles away, but it is only more than 60 miles away from Langling County, the most important place in Litong.

Under such a layout, the three cities of Dingying in the north, Pingyu in the middle of the east, and Shenyang in the south are like a tiger's mouth wide open, ready to swallow Li Tong's three counties at any time! !If it weren't for the urgent situation in Lu Bu's Yanzhou, Feng Yao's next target would be Li Tong, so let Li Tong live for a while now.

For this position, in terms of merit and talent, there are two suitable candidates, one is Ji Ling, and the other is Gong Du!
Gong Du is very satisfied with Feng Yao now, what more could he ask for with a son-in-law like Feng Yao?In Gong Du's eyes, although Feng Yao is brave, resourceful and capable, he is still just a junior of his, a 16-year-old boy with little knowledge!Gong was afraid that Feng Yao might suffer because of his young age, ignorance of treachery and scheming, so he insisted on following Feng Yao's side! !
To protect Feng Yao well is to protect the happiness of his daughter!It is to protect all the happiness of Gong Du!
Gong Du directly recommended Ji Ling to serve as the magistrate of Shenyang County, as well as the postal supervisor in the south, who supervised the seven counties in the south of Runan.

The four governors are the four most important generals under Feng Yao, Lu Fan, Ji Ling, Zhou Cang, and Chen Dao. From now on, these four generals will be the four most powerful people in Runan County except Feng Yao!However, Lu Fan is not in Pingyu at this time, and Feng Yao is just making an appointment first.

The other Colonels Wei Yan, Cheng Gu, Wang Hu, and Zhou Zheng in the lobby are so envious!
Although Gong Du is also a school lieutenant, he just smiled and didn't care. Originally, Gong Du could also get the position of postal supervisor, but he didn't give it up on his own initiative, so he didn't envy the four of them.

In addition, there are military adviser Xu Shu, county magistrate Shi Tao, lord Bo Mengjian, personal commander Yang Wu, scout commander Liu Shun, personal commander Xu Chu, Dai Ling, and all the county officials and servants in the hall. Arrived, Ji Ling and the three expressed their congratulations!
Feng Yao then appointed a group of his cronies to fill up important positions such as county magistrates and county officials in various counties. When doing these things, Feng Yao had to lament that although it was a bit difficult for the Runan prefect, But there are still many benefits. Many positions in the county, such as county magistrates, were vacant due to the occupation and killing of the Yellow Turban Army. Feng Yao can take the lead in freely appointing his cronies to hold important positions.

If you take over another county, although you can easily take office, the important county officials, county magistrates, and other important county officials have already been appointed by the court. Feng Yao is a 16-year-old If this young man doesn't reveal his identity as the Yuan family, he may not be able to convince the public at all. Even if he becomes the prefect, his power and control over the county cannot be compared with what he has now! !
The entire Runan County is now Feng Yao's monopoly, and Runan's territory is also very large, almost half of Yuzhou's territory in one county, plus Feng Yao's control over Runan, its strength has already It is equivalent to a small state shepherd!
After the entrustment was completed, Feng Yao ordered his subordinates to write a memorial, listing all the battle reports of Runan and the meritorious service of the generals, as well as the roster of appointed officials of each county.

Xu Shu, the military advisor, suggested that Feng Yao take the spoils from the battle in Runan and select some jewels and exotic items as tributes to please the emperor, as well as Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou who are now in power in the court. In order to prevent the government from disapproving the officials Feng Yao's performance, another official was appointed.
