Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. Once he began to doubt, he would not change his mind easily. His wariness against Xun gradually became apparent in the future.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the fighting stopped for a while.

Liu Bei and others were finally able to take a break.

For Liu Bei, he currently has a temporary foothold in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was indeed kind. He never withheld money or food, and made clear rewards and punishments without being unfair.

Moreover, Liu Biao was also very generous. Not only did he give Bowang County, but he also allocated five counties to Liu Bei for garrisoning troops.

As a result, Liu Bei occupied six counties in Nanyang, with a total population of nearly 200,000.

With the assistance of Chen Gong, Jian Yong and others, Liu Bei recruited troops and settled fields, and everything went smoothly.

There are now nearly 15,000 troops and horses.

However, is Liu Biao really so kind?

Liu Biao knew that Cao Cao was concerned about Nanyang, so Liu Biao arranged Liu Bei, who was good at fighting, to the front line to resist Cao Cao.

No matter what the situation of the battle was, Liu Biao would not lose.

As for the battle against Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin, we can turn to counterattack after the beginning of spring.

When Jiaozhou is settled, we can use the land of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou to farm and raise the army. Even if it is not enough to conquer the world, it will be a small corner of peace and self-protection.

……

In order to pacify Liangzhou as soon as possible, Zhang Ji braved the wind and snow and traveled to many places to personally visit local moral and knowledgeable people and invite them to serve as officials.

If you don't come out once, you can visit me many times.

Soon, Zhang Ji's name spread throughout Liangzhou.

Even though he disliked Zhou Cheng and Zhou Jun, he admired Zhang Ji endlessly.

Among them was Pang Chun.

Pang Huo, whose courtesy name was Ziyi, was famous for his loyalty and martyrdom at that time.

In history, Zhang Meng, the governor of Wuwei County, rebelled, killed the governor, and threatened to kill anyone who served as the governor before Shang's funeral.

However, when Pang Hui heard about it, he abandoned his official position and ran to Wuwei day and night. He cried at the merchant funeral in Handan. Then he found Zhang Meng's house, hid a dagger, and wanted to attack and kill Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng knew that Pang Huo was a righteous man, so he sent him away without killing him. From then on, Pang Huo was known as a loyal man.

Pang Chuo came to the Governor's Mansion.

The governor, Zhang Ji, hasn't come back yet. I heard from people in the government that he is going to Tianshui City and will probably not be back until three days later.

Pang Qiao went back first.

Three days later, Pang Chuo went to see Zhang Ji again.

However, Zhang Ji went to Jincheng again, and it took two days to arrive.

Two days later, Pang Chuo came to visit again.

However, Zhang Ji went to Wuwei County again.

After going back and forth like this, Pang Chuo looked for Zhang Ji five times.

The soldiers in the Governor's Mansion also got to know Pang Yu and were moved by Pang Yu's perseverance. So when Zhang Ji came back, the soldiers reported the incident.

Zhang was curious about Pang Xuan, so he met him.

After careful inquiry, Zhang Ji found out that Pang Yu was actually the son of Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo was a strange woman. Zhang Ji had visited her when he went to Jiuquan.

Although Pang Chun has not yet become famous, he has an excellent reputation in the local area.

At this time, Zhang Ji came to the yard where Pang Xuan lived temporarily.

The yard is a bit shabby.

At this time, Pang Chuan was studying in the room. When he saw Zhang Ji coming, he immediately greeted him.

After Zhang Ji and Pang Ji chatted for a while, Pang Ji asked Zhang Ji:"With his talent and virtue, why don't you look for a master of the Ming Dynasty?"

Pang Ji came to Zhang Ji not to find an official, but to solve his doubts.

Zhang Ji replied:"What is Mingzhu?"

Pang Yu thought for a while and was about to answer.

Zhang Ji said:"It's just making good use of the crowd, that's all."

Pang Xuan remained silent.

Zhang Ji said:"Today, all the princes in the world forget justice for personal gain. Although my lord has a bad reputation, he is good at making use of people. There are Tian Zitai and Du Bohou in front of him, both of whom are capable officials in governing the world. Although a certain person has little talent and little knowledge, he is still praised. The lord makes great use of him and entrusts him with the responsibility of a state. Without the lord's heavy responsibility, how can Ziyi know someone's talent?"

Pang Chuo stood up and bowed deeply.

Zhang Ji's words were meant to answer his questions.

Zhang Ji invited Pang Cao to serve as an official and appointed him as the prefect of Jiuquan.

However, Pang Chuo refused.

Pang Cao thought that his current ability was not enough to serve as a prefect, so Zhang Ji asked Pang Cao to be the county magistrate first.

……

Although Liangzhou was in chaos, Zhang Ji used practical actions to make changes.

If no talent is willing to come out, then he will hire talent.

If it doesn't work once, just go a few more times.

Zhou Cheng then took Zhang Ji as an example and asked officials in various states to learn from him.

Only laziness and mediocrity can produce political achievements as long as they work diligently.

Tian Chou also advised Zhou Cheng to assess not only the performance of officials, but also their ability to select talents.

If the standards are not met, then there will be penalties. At the same time, the states will be informed so that they all know who is mediocre.

Although recruitment halls can attract talents, waiting like this is no different from sitting back and waiting.

Since Zhang can bring talents out, so can others.

In this regard, Xun Pei seems to be at home like a fish in water.

Xun's name is really too loud.

Moreover, Xun Shuang was a great Confucian and extremely filial.

When Xun Pei was in Jinan, he invited dozens of people to serve as officials, and soon built the foundation of the Taishou Mansion.

The wealthy families in Jinan also gave Xun Shuang face and sent their children to serve as officials.

Prefectures, counties, townships, pavilions, county captains, county magistrates, three elders, stingy men, etc. are gradually improving their management.
