I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 586 Next Action
When Liu Bei heard what Liu Jian said, he took note of it very seriously.

Although he didn't know whether Liu Jian's words were a joke or true, he followed Liu Jian's words as an iron rule.

Over the years, Liu Bei has become very accustomed to doing this.

"Deran, what you are implying is that Cao Cao seems to want to imitate you to the end?"

Liu Jian replied seriously: "Only correct strategies will be learned. If it weren't for the fact that my administrative methods are really effective, Cao Cao would not insist on imitating me."

"But this is good, but it also makes the local high-ranking families in Xuzhou give up. Don't expect them to find any foreign aid that is beneficial to them from outside. Even if someone like Cao Cao comes to Xuzhou, he will be unlucky. It’s the same as them!”

When Liu Bei heard what Liu Jian said, he burst out laughing.

"Deran, if I stay in Xuzhou, I will face Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the future. You still need to leave me elite soldiers and generals."

Of course, Liu Bei didn't need to say much about this, Liu Jian knew it well.

"After taking Xuzhou, Xuzhou has become the frontier barrier of Qingzhou and the frontline bordering Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. Once a war breaks out between the north and the south, Xuzhou will naturally be the place to withstand the most intense attacks, so here Naturally, the most elite soldiers and horses and the most skilled generals will be left behind."

"Brother, I will transfer Cheng Pu and Han Dang back to Qingzhou as governor-general of the military. After all, although Xuzhou has become the front line, there is no guarantee that there will be no rebellion in Qingzhou, and the Yellow Turban thieves have always been prevalent everywhere, and there will be rebellion from time to time. Certain people gathered the refugees to start a rebellion, so Qingzhou still has to leave a certain number of people to take charge."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this.

"As for your brother, Gao Shun's trapped camp still has Taishi Cihui left. With these two here, they will definitely become my brother's right-hand men. Then I will use the trapped camp as the basis to reorganize troops in Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Liu Bo'an will give you follow-up support, and he will provide you with troops and food, which will serve as the cornerstone for your early stability of Xuzhou."

Liu Bei's worries were greatly relieved when he heard that Liu Jian wanted to keep Gao Shun, Taishi Ci and Zhen camp for him.

"Hey, it's just a pity that Yun Chang and Yide can't leave one person to help me. If one of them can accompany me to control Xuzhou, I will feel more at ease."

Liu Jian sighed helplessly.

"Brother, I understand what you mean. The people you will face in Xuzhou in the future are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. These two people are indeed too strong. Although they are assisted by Gao Shun and Tai Shici, they are not enough."

"Actually, I have also thought about leaving one of Yun Chang and Yide to assist you, but for the matter in Hanzhou, Yunchang still needs to go back and take charge. Now, although the three Han Dynasties have been pacified, we still need to continue to the north. Fuyu and other places still need Yun Chang to conquer. Now Zilong and Han Sheng are helping Guo Fengxiao stabilize the situation in Bingzhou... From time to time, there will be remnant rebellions on the Huns side, and there are also many Shanyus in the Xianbei tribes who see Bingzhou as unstable. , they want to get a share of the pie, but the two of them can’t do anything for the time being.”

"Although Wenruo over there in Youzhou has Qu Yi as a general, Xianbei has somewhat recovered its strength in recent years, and some small tribes have begun to merge. Slowly they will surely gather again and pose a threat to Shanggu, Yuyang and other places."

"When I go back this time, I will send Yide and other Hebei generals to Youzhou to find a reason to attack Xianbei."

"So Yun Chang and Yide, including Zilong, Han Sheng and others cannot stay here."

"But don't worry, although they can't stay here, during my stay in Xuzhou, I will find ways to recruit local talents to help you. Even if I can't defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, I won't be able to protect your foundation in Xuzhou. questionable."

"Brother, I have made good use of the talents I selected for you, so that they can give full play to their talents."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this.

"What Deran means is to help me find local talents in Xuzhou?"

What Liu Bei admired most was Liu Jian's ability to recognize people.

Liu Jian laughed loudly: "Of course, there are talents available in every place. Xuzhou is a place with outstanding people. The number of talents is no less than that of other places, and it is no less than that of Hebei."

"It's just that Tao Qian is stupid and doesn't recognize real talents. You see, although he has Chen Gui, Mi Zhu, Wang Lang and others under his command, these people are not really outstanding people who can stabilize Xuzhou."

"Let's go back to Tancheng to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou. I will find new people for you among the nobles and powerful people in Xuzhou, and let these people assist you. And with these people, you can also use them to check Mi Zhu or Chen Gui. Such a distinguished family."

"After all, these people have too much power in Xuzhou. Although it cannot be said that they can turn their hands into clouds or turn their hands into rain, they are extremely constrained."

"Tao Qian is a lesson learned from the past. Just look at Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers who were defeated by Zhou Yu, and they immediately turned against each other."

"Although Mi Zhu and Chen Gui are interested in us, these people's voice in Xuzhou is too strong and they must find ways to weaken it."

"Brother, if you take Xuzhou for the first time and deal with them all at once, it will be a bit embarrassing and will also arouse their fear. Therefore, the best way at the moment is to use more new outstanding people as your arms. To check and balance these noble families, my brother is in the middle and provides support, so that I can do it with ease."

When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly realized.

He naturally understood the principles Liu Jian said, but when it came to the practicality and practicality of these principles, Liu Bei was far inferior to Liu Jian.

Although he was the pastoral envoy of Western Qingzhou in the past, he and Liu Yu also had a division of labor in Qingzhou. Liu Yu was mainly responsible for politics, while Liu Bei was mainly responsible for military affairs in Qingzhou.

Now that he has arrived in Xuzhou, Liu Bei has both military and political control. This is another new experience for Liu Bei and a new test of his abilities.

In some ways, Xuzhou is now a mess left by Tao Qian.Although Xuzhou today is much better than Xuzhou in history, it is still bad.

What is rotten is not Xuzhou's finances or population, but the local power, the official power left behind by Tao Qian.

It was precisely because Liu Jian understood this that he decided to take care of all these things for Liu Bei before leaving Xuzhou, and then let Liu Bei perform in Xuzhou.

It's not that Liu Jian is too cautious, or that Liu Jian is too meddlesome, but after leaving Xuzhou to stabilize the southeast, Liu Jian will return to Hebei. He first wants to observe the amount of trade between the Han Dynasty and the tribes in the north this year, and The current effects of cultural import to foreign ethnic groups.

If the relationship between the northern tribes and the Han Dynasty is relatively stable, then Liu Jian will decide to start targeting the west!
This is his next step, or the most important move in his life.

What was to the west of the Han Dynasty?Naturally, he is the center of the imperial court!

There is no doubt that Dong Zhuo has ruled the center of the imperial court for a long time, and according to Liu Jian's understanding, Dong Zhuo has now raised troops to Liangzhou.

Nowadays, the internal affairs of the imperial court are stable on the surface, but in fact they are troubled.

According to the news sent back to Liu Jian by Zhang Ji, Dong Zhao and others, Dong Zhuo seemed to have some physical problems.

Now if there is any disturbance, the court will undergo great changes.

As General Fuyuan of the Han Dynasty, he must be aware of the court's trends during this period and seize the opportunity.

Only by seizing the opportunity of the imperial court can we gain control of the world.

……

……

A few days later, brothers Liu Bei and Liu Jian led the Liaodong Army to Tancheng.

I have been to Tancheng once before, but this time I feel completely different.

After all, from now on, this is Liu's territory.

After entering Tancheng, Chen Gui, Mi Zhu and others immediately held a banquet to celebrate Liu Bei's arrival in Xuzhou, and spread the news widely throughout Xuzhou's counties.

However, Chen Gui still handled the news about Liu Jian in Xuzhou in a sensible and low-key manner.

Only Liu Bei was mentioned, Liu Jian was not mentioned.

But now, paper can no longer contain the fire.

The news about Liu Jian in Xuzhou still spread like wildfire. Although it is impossible for everyone to know about it, as long as there are people with status and power, they will still get some information.

Facing the first general of the Han Dynasty, everyone in Xuzhou was also quite uneasy.

Especially at the first meeting after the Liu brothers entered the city.

This meeting, according to the ideas of Chen Gui, Mi Zhu and others, was to invite all the powerful officials in Xuzhou to discuss together and support Liu Bei as the Mu of Xuzhou.

But it was obvious that Liu Jian did not want to follow such a process.

He didn't want Liu Bei to accept such a big favor.

"As you said, you want to gather all the heroes of Xuzhou and support my brother Liu Xuande as the shepherd of Xuzhou. I think this is impossible."

After Chen Gui and others raised the matter, they thought it would make Liu Jian very happy.

Unexpectedly, the other party said such a sentence in a nonchalant manner and did not accept it. Everyone present was quite surprised by this.

Mi Zhu cupped her hands at Liu Jian and said, "May I ask the general why he is like this?"

Liu Jian smiled and explained: "My brother is a minister of the emperor, and Xuzhou is also the city of the Han family? How can he establish a state pastor without asking the court?"

Chen Gui said: "Then according to the general's wishes?"

"I will personally report to the imperial court and explain everything in Xuzhou in detail to see how the imperial court will judge. If the imperial court accepts my brother as the guard of Xuzhou, it will be fine. If the imperial court refuses, there is nothing we can do."
