The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Zhang was not polite and just sat down.

Maocai, also known as Maocai, is another common examination examination in the Han Dynasty. It was originally called Xiucai in the Western Han Dynasty, but was changed to Maocai in the Eastern Han Dynasty to avoid the taboo of Emperor Wu Liu Xiu.

Mao is beautiful.

Talented people are people with beautiful talents, that is, outstanding talents.

Xiaolian was selected for the county examination, and Maocai was selected for the state examination.

Therefore, the number of Maocai is far less than that of Xiaolian. Most of those promoted with Maocai are current officials. Officials with special talents, conduct, and outstanding contributions are promoted and promoted. It can be seen that Maocai is more important than Xiaolian.

Zhang Jiju was born in a talented family, and when he first entered the lobby, his resume was much higher than others.

Guo Jia, Li Ru and others made judgments based on Zhang Ji's presentation ability, logic, behavior and other aspects.

Zhang is neither humble nor arrogant, and responds calmly, which is really extraordinary.

Zhou Cheng asked again:"De Rong, if I want to take over the world, how should I do it?"

Zhang Ji replied:"In ancient times, benevolence was the basis, and rule by righteousness was called righteousness. If righteousness does not obtain the will, then power will prevail. It is out of war, not out of the middle. Therefore, it is okay to kill people to appease people; to attack a country and love its people, it is okay to attack it; to stop a war by fighting, even though it is war, it is okay."

Zhang Ji said these words , Although he has Confucian ideas, his ideas are very convincing to Zhou Cheng.

A simple translation means that the ancients used the purpose of benevolence and the principles of etiquette and law as justice. With this governance, the fundamental purpose has been achieved. This is politics.

However, when politics fails to achieve its goals, it is necessary to use power, and the use of power is manifested in war, rather than in neutrality and benevolence.

Therefore, if you kill the bad guy and bring peace to the people, it is permissible to kill him. If the purpose of attacking another country is to save the local people, then it is permissible to attack it.

"Hahaha. Zhou Cheng laughed and said,"If De Rong is allowed to govern the county, how should he do it?"

Zhang Ji replied:"Follow the way of heaven, set up the land appropriately, and have the virtue of officials and people.""

Comply with the laws of nature, utilize land resources according to local conditions, and appoint moral people as officials.

This is Zhang Ji's basic and core concept of being an official.

Jia Xu, Li Ru and others nodded again.

Zhou Cheng said:"In that case, I First, the land of a county will be handed over to Derong, hoping that Derong can resettle the refugees, resume production as soon as possible, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Zhang Ji was the magistrate of Xinfeng County before, and he ranked first among the three assistants for three consecutive years.

Historically, Cao Cao recruited Zhang Ji many times without going to Kyoto to take up his post.

Zhang Ji bowed, saluted and said,"Thank you, Lord. Benevolence, betrayal of trust"

……

March 199 AD.

Zhou Cheng appointed Zhang Ji as the governor of Fufeng on the right.

Youfufeng is a strategic location for marching west to Liangzhou and south to Yizhou.

Because it is a strategic location, there has been a huge population loss. To restore production and population in Youfufeng, Zhang Ji needs to use his talents.

Moreover, the difficulty is not small, because Yan Lianggang led his army to attack Chencang.

At the same time, Yan Liang also divided his troops to plunder Youfufeng, causing the people's livelihood in Youfufeng to decline.

Zhou Cheng also kept his promise and let Yuan Xi garrison Chang'an.

Although Yuan Xi was not directly named Yongzhou Mu, Yuan Xi finally felt at ease after winning Chang'an.

At any rate, he is now considered Zhou Cheng's subordinate.

In troubled times, it is not easy to survive.

As for the rest, we will consider it after we have settled down.

Anyway, after winning Chang'an, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit troops and horses.

Mid-March 199 AD.

After a short period of adjustment, Zhou Cheng led his army to Chencang.

Yan Liang led an army of 20,000 men and surrounded Chencang but failed to break through. When he saw Zhou Cheng leading his army, he immediately retreated.

Shortly after Zhou Cheng arrived in Chencang, Han Sui sent an envoy to see Zhou Cheng.

When the envoy saw Zhou Cheng, he bowed and saluted and said,"A certain person is working in the Mufu's Mansion in Liangzhou and is here to pay homage to the Grand Sima."

Zhou Cheng said,"Why did Han Wenxu send you here?"

The envoy replied,"My lord. I would like to submit to Da Sima."

This was Cheng Gongying's tactic to delay the war.

I hope Zhou Cheng can let Liangzhou go temporarily and give Liangzhou enough time to clean up Ma Teng.

Cheng Gongying also believed that it would be in Zhou Cheng's interest to use peaceful means to temporarily stabilize Liangzhou.

"Hahaha. Zhou Cheng laughed and said,"What are the conditions?"

The envoy replied:"As long as Da Sima agrees that our Lord retains military power and does not pursue the Qiang rebellion.""

Jia Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this.

How could Guo Jia, Li Ru and others not hear it?

Han Sui, an old fox, wants to tie himself to the Qiang people.

If Zhou Cheng doesn't agree, he will not only have to deal with Han Sui Therefore, we still have to deal with the Qiang people in Liangzhou.

In Cheng Gongying's view, fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains is what the princes urgently need to do.

Only after they dominate the Central Plains, will they be distracted from taking care of remote places.

Zhou Cheng said:"If the Korean War If you dare to come to see me, I will consider this matter. Otherwise, how can the Qiang people be compared to the Xianbei people? I will destroy you when I stand up!"

When the envoy heard this, he was shocked. He did not expect Zhou Cheng to be so tough.

Zhou Cheng said:"Go back and tell Han Wenyue that if you want to survive, surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the army breaks through Jincheng, he will die without his body intact."
