After Yan Gang left with 3,000 white horses, Su Yan immediately led his army into Liangxiang County.

His army had been fighting continuously for several days, and it was time to rest when the war was over.

Responsible for greeting them were the county officials of Liangxiang County and other minor officials.

He told Su Yan that when the county magistrate was directing the battle on the city tower, he was accidentally hit and killed by a stray arrow.

Su Yan also regretted this, comforted these officials and left.

What he said was a pang of regret, but he had something else in his heart.

Although Liangxiang County is a small county, it is also a city after all.

As long as it is a city, there is a lot of population.

Where there is population, there is economic development, and economic development can drive a series of industries.

He now controls Zhuo County, and he already has some strength under his hands.

But he was not satisfied.

After all, the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms is about to begin, and he must seize the time to develop his own power now.

He did not have the rich family background of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and he did not have their awesome political background.

In addition to being handsome, he is actually inferior to them in many ways.

The only thing that can be used is his foresight, grasp of the general trend of history and systematic help.

Now is the foundation period of entrepreneurship, and it is necessary to salvage the foundation.

He made up his mind that Liangxiang County must be in his own hands.

Of course, he was not arrogant enough to directly occupy Liangxiang County, which was equivalent to rebellion.

In this troubled world that has not yet fully begun, it is better to be low-key or low-key.

Accumulate grain and slow down the king! That's right.

However, although they cannot occupy it directly, they can put their own people in the position of county chief.

In this way, he is equivalent to indirectly controlling Liangxiang County.

In the future, with the resources of the two counties, his strength will also increase greatly.

Thinking of this, he asked his personal captain to go out and secretly inquire about the situation in Liangxiang County.

A moment later, the captain of the Guards returned.

He told Su Yan that the county forces in Liangxiang County were complicated.

The county magistrate is the largest, followed by the county lieutenant, then the county lieutenant, and finally the main book.

The power of the county magistrate is far above the other three, so he firmly controls Liangxiang County.

But now that he is dead, the people below have fallen and scattered, and they have been eaten away at once.

It stands to reason that the next most likely person to become the county magistrate is the county lieutenant.

However, it is said that this county lieutenant is not an ordinary person, and his mind is very lively, and he may not be able to control it.

Su Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Besides these three people, are there any other close people around the county magistrate?" "

The captain of the guards thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that there is one, it is the staff of the county magistrate, who is specifically responsible for making ideas behind his back, and it was that person who advised the county magistrate to supervise the battle to boost morale, otherwise I am afraid that Liangxiang County would have been captured long ago." "

"This way."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes, and then said, "You take a few people to bring that staff member to me, I want to see him." "

"Whoosh!"

The captain of the guards said respectfully, and then left with the other guards.

After two cups of tea, I saw the guards come back to report, and the man brought it back.

This is a lean man in a green robe, not low in stature, not slender, and looks like a more casual scholar.

"Sir, I wonder what happened when you brought me here?"

He looked towards Su Yan a little nervously, bowed and saluted.

"What's your name?"

Su Yan asked.

"Lord, in Lower Zhao Yue, Zipeishan."

"I heard you were a staff member of the county magistrate?"

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Yue nodded and said, "I had fallen before I went down, and it was the county magistrate who helped me, so I stayed in the county office to be responsible for advising the county magistrate." "

Speaking of this, he sighed.

"I originally hoped that the county magistrate personally supervising the battle would boost the morale of the soldiers and hold out for a while longer, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate was shot to death by a stray arrow, which is all my fault."

Rather, he is a man of affection and righteousness.

When Su Yan heard this, he immediately thought in his heart.

He said in a deep voice: "It's not all your fault, you have good intentions, I hope to stick to the defense and prevent the Wuhuan people from attacking the city, but his life is not good, and I can't blame you." "

Zhao Yue sighed after hearing this, shook his head, and looked sad and sad.

Su Yan carefully looked at his demeanor and found that his expression did not seem to be fake, so his heart calmed down.

"What do you think of Liangxiang County?"

Su Yan suddenly asked.

Zhao Yueleng paused for a moment and asked, "Don't you understand the meaning of adults?" "

"Now that the county magistrate is dead, the entire Liangxiang County is leaderless, and the pacification work of the people is not presided, which is not a good phenomenon."

Su Yan said: "I hope that you will take over as the county magistrate and manage the entire Liangxiang County, I don't know what you think?" "

"Huh? Lord, this.... How can I..."

Zhao Yue was taken aback when he heard his words, and the whole person was stunned.

Su Yan waved his hand to interrupt him, "I know that you are worried that you are not qualified enough to convince the public. "

"This is not a problem, with me supporting you, you can take advantage of the current control of those county magistrates' former forces, and then let them hold you up."

"But there is no appointment from the Taishou Mansion..."

"This is not a problem, I have connections in the state capital, I can help you with this, now it is mainly up to you to see if you want to be this county magistrate."

Su Yan looked at him and said lightly.

"If you become the county magistrate, then you must find a way to manage all the forces in the county, and you can't let the entire county have an accident, do you understand?"

Zhao Yue lowered his head and was silent, without speaking.

Su Yan was also not in a hurry, sitting in front while drinking tea while waiting for his reply.

After half a ring, Zhao Yue raised his head and asked, "Dare to ask, my lord, after I become the county magistrate, do I need to report everything to you?" "

Su Yan said with a smile: "It's not necessary, you can handle the big and small things in the county yourself, you just have to obey my arrangement when I need your help, and I don't care about the rest." "

"Adults trust so much?"

Zhao Yue wondered.

"Use people without doubt, suspects do not need, I believe in my vision, you dare not betray me, because you can't afford the price."

Su Yan said with a faint smile, with a chill in his tone.

Zhao Yue couldn't help but shiver.

Only then did he remember the scene he had seen on the city wall before, where Su Yan led his army to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry and drove away the white horse righteous followers.

These two forces, in other words, he can't defeat either.

However, Su Yan was able to defeat the two sides one after another, which shows how strong his strength is.

If he really dares to give birth to a second heart, I am afraid that his small county town is simply not enough for people to move.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue immediately bowed down and bowed loudly: "Zhao Yue, meet the lord!" "
