Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2405: Five States, Zhang Miao and Liu meet

In the south, since the war in the south began, although the Jin army only had half of Nanyang left in Jingzhou, they still appointed Wei Yang as the governor of Jingzhou.

The war in the south finally ended with the victory of the Jin army, and Wei Yang, the governor of Jingzhou, was truly worthy of the title.

Therefore, now, we only need to appoint new governors of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou.

In fact, there are many people in the court who are qualified to be the governor. However, these people are either in Luoyang or in the northern states, which are too far away from the south. When will they come?

Because of the events in Liangzhou, Li Xiang now needs to restore the operations of Yangzhou and Jiaozhou as soon as possible. This matter is urgent, so it is naturally best to choose someone nearby rather than transfer from the court.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Yu Qian was chosen from among the officials of Jingzhou to serve as the Governor of Jiaozhou, and Wu Qi, the original Grand Commander of Nanzhou, was transferred to the post of Governor of Yangzhou.

Wu Qi was not only a god-level commander, he was also a god-level political talent.

Therefore, with his ability, let alone being a governor, even being a prime minister of a country is more than enough.

As for the vacancy of Grand Commander of Southern Province left by Wu Qi's transfer to Yangzhou, Wang Yu had no arrangements at this time.

In fact, Wang Yu did not even have any arrangements for the position of Grand Commander of not only Southern Province, but also the positions of Grand Commander of the five provinces including Yang, Jiao, Yan, Yu and Xu.

Just as Wu Qi and a large number of officials had expected, after the war in the south ended, the position of Grand Commander had become a topic of discussion for Li Xiang.

Being qualified to control both military and political affairs of the Grand Commander is itself a temporary option. Li Xiang has never thought of making the position of Grand Commander a permanent position, let alone a system.

In fact, every grand governor represents a potential and extremely powerful local force.

If every state has such a powerful local force, even if the dynasty is established, can it still be stable?

Even if his generation could suppress these great governors, would his next generation, and the next generation after that, be able to suppress these local factions? Moreover, these were naturally extremely powerful local factions.

Therefore, although this position was a temporary wartime choice at the beginning, every three or four years, Li Xiang would replace the respective grand commanders and even the generals of each state to prevent these grand commanders from taking root in the local area and thus forming an extremely powerful local force.

However, this method is only a stopgap measure and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Therefore, from the very beginning, it was destined that the position of the Grand Commander would be abolished one day.

With the end of the war in the south, the five states of Jiao, Nan, Jing, Yang and Xu were no longer bordered by enemies. From then on, unless some northern states defeated Yanzhou and Yuzhou, this place would be the rear area, so it would be difficult for any war to happen again.

Under such circumstances, is there any need to set up a grand commander in the five states of Jiao, Nan, Jing, Yang and Xu?
In other places, because they are close to the grassland or the north, the position of the Grand Commander may be retained for a period of time.

However, it is impossible for these five great commanders in chief to be allowed to exist in the five states of Jiao, Nan, Jing, Yang and Xu!

The existing Grand Commander of Southern Province has become the current Governor of Yangzhou, so the position of Grand Commander has naturally been eliminated.

Next, there was only one Grand Commander of Jingzhou left, Bai Qi. As long as the position of Grand Commander of Jingzhou was abolished, there would be no Grand Commander in the five states. As the commander-in-chief of the Southern War, Bai Qi led all the troops in the Southern War. In the end, the Southern War ended in a complete victory, so he naturally made an indelible contribution.

It is reasonable and logical that the next step should be to reward him.

Therefore, next, the Grand Commander of Jingzhou will naturally cease to exist.

As for anything in the world, you have to look ten steps ahead before you take one step.

Bai Qi was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Southern War, not only because of his ability, but also because he was in such a special position as the Grand Commander of Jingzhou. Before the Central Plains War and the Southern War began, Li Xiang had already begun planning to remove some of the Grand Commanders.

Otherwise, besides Bai Qi, Wu Qi could also be the commander-in-chief of the Southern War. After all, Wu Qi was no worse than Bai Qi in terms of comprehensive ability.

"Although Li Changyuan was concerned about the Yuan and Mongolian affairs, he lost his composure because of it!"

"However, now that it has become a foregone conclusion, we still have to come up with a solution."

Someone was sent to urgently summon Zhang Liang, Miao Xun and others. As soon as they arrived after a long journey, they were not even given time to rest. They were directly pulled over by Li Xiang to discuss the affairs of Yuan Meng.

Whether it is the arrangement of provincial governors in various parts of the south, or the three major transport envoys, these are essentially preparations for fighting the epidemic.

However, although the fight against the epidemic is closely related to Yuan and Mongolia, the two cannot be equated.

Therefore, we still have to come up with a plan to solve the Yuan and Mongolian issues.

Moreover, this matter is extremely urgent now.

It was precisely because of this that, after arranging the various weekly schedules and the transport envoys, Li Xiang directly gave orders to call Zhang Liang, Miao Xun and others from various places.

Zhang Liang had originally followed these people into Yuzhou along with the southern reinforcements that were bound for Liangzhou, and were now in the Central Plains.

As for Miao Xun, he was previously in the Jianghuai region, not far from the Central Plains.

Apart from these two people, the remaining one, Liu Bowen, was already by Li Xiang's side, so there was no need to call him.

Along the way, Zhang Liang and his men rode at full speed, and even didn't give them much time to rest, but they finally arrived in the shortest time possible.

But precisely because they had spent almost the entire journey on horseback without much rest, these people almost collapsed there as soon as they arrived, and they hardly even had the strength to stand up.

If the matter wasn't too important, Li Xiang wouldn't be willing to force these people like this.

After they arrived, although they all collapsed there, Li Xiang didn't care about it at this time. After asking someone to bring some tea and food, he directly told them the purpose of summoning them.
