I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 677 Two famous generals return to the court
  As the introducer, Guo Jia allowed Zhang Liao to meet with the generals in Bingzhou and introduce them ceremoniously.

After all, Zhang Liao is a figure that Liu Jian attaches great importance to. He sent Zhang Liao to Bingzhou this time just to let Zhang Liao carry the military banner in Bingzhou.

Guo Jia understood that Liu Jian had very high expectations for Zhang Liao, so after he asked Zhang Liao to meet everyone here, he also secretly told the generals not to be discriminatory towards Zhang Liao, a newly surrendered general, and to do everything well. Cooperate with him and don't deliberately stumble him, because he is a person whom Prime Minister Liu values ​​​​extremely.

With Guo Jia's recommendation and praise, Zhang Liao quickly integrated into the Bingzhou Army.

Zhang Liao himself was born in Bingzhou, and he originally had many interpersonal relationships in Bingzhou.

In particular, he was very familiar with Bingzhou and Xiongnu affairs. After several exchanges, the generals in Bingzhou also admired Zhang Liao's military ability. No wonder Prime Minister Liu valued this person so much? He is indeed a military talent!

Especially the two generals Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, they were the two people Guo Jia relied on most in Bingzhou in the past two years.

In the years of Bingzhou, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were almost all relied on in the large and small counter-insurgency wars against the Xiongnu.

When Liu Jian sent Zhang Liao this time, he gave Guo Jia a private letter. In this private letter, Liu Jian specifically mentioned that Zhao Yun would be transferred to the Chang'an center.

As a genius, Guo Jia naturally understood Liu Jian's thoughts and his thoughts.

Therefore, after Zhang Liao arrived, Guo Jia specially asked Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao to establish communication so that Zhang Liao could become familiar with the situation in Bingzhou as quickly as possible.

After Zhang Liao became familiar with the situation in Bingzhou, he asked Zhao Yun to return to Chang'an to assist Liu Jian.

Zhao Yun has been fighting at the frontier all year round. Now when he heard that Liu Jian was going to transfer him to Chang'an, he couldn't help but feel hesitant.

After he became an official and served under Liu Jian, he held himself as a general of the border army. Over the years, he fought in the north and south, and fought in the frontier fortress of Hebei all year round.

It can be said that he has barely lived at home.

Zhao Yun spent two-thirds of these years in the military camp.

Today, Zhao Yun has won the hearts of the military. In his opinion, the military camp on the border is his home, and this is where he can display his skills.

But now, Liu Jian suddenly wanted to get him to Chang'an City... the highest-level imperial capital of the Han Dynasty!
  Logically speaking, this is a promotion for Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun does not want to accept this promotion because he feels that life in the capital is not suitable for him.

In Zhao Yun's concept, there is intrigue and intrigue everywhere.

Besides, how can I use my skills in the capital?
  Therefore, when Guo Jia conveyed Liu Jian's order to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun said to Guo Jia:
  "Uncle Fang, can Yun not go to Chang'an?"

Zhao Yun's answer was somewhat beyond Guo Jia's expectations.

In Guo Jia's concept, Zhao Yun should be the most obedient person.

For Liu Jian, Zhao Yun can be said to be a loyal and loyal minister.

Why did he suddenly disobey Liu Jian's orders?

"Zilong has always been the most loyal to the Prime Minister. Why did he not respond to the Prime Minister's call today? Since the Prime Minister wants to find you in Chang'an City, he must be entrusting you with a big task! Why do you refuse?"

"If you don't go now, wouldn't it chill the Prime Minister's heart?"

After Zhao Yun heard this, he stood up quickly, saluted Guo Jia and said:
  "Uncle Fang misunderstood. Yun did not mean to disobey the Prime Minister. There are all dignitaries and people from high-ranking families in Chang'an City."

"Yun is not from an ordinary wealthy family, but a man from the mountains and wild grass. Fighting in border counties, conquering all directions, and quelling disasters for the prime minister are really what Yun is good at."

"Now, the Prime Minister asked me to go to the capital. Zhao Yun feels that there will be nothing to help the Prime Minister there. On the contrary, it will become a drag on the Prime Minister. It is better to fight on the border, where I should be able to do more for the Prime Minister."

Guo Jia laughed loudly when he heard this.

He understood Zhao Yun's worries.

He shook his head with a smile and said: "Zilong, when you were just a child in the Zhao clan of Changshan Kingdom, did you ever think that you would achieve such success in the border county today?"

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this.

When he and Zhao Jun were at home, he was just a teenager. He really didn't expect that he would become a famous general today.

"Uncle Fang! When Yun was in Changshan, he would never have imagined that he would do what he does today...and at that time, Yun had never known the Prime Minister. Yun's success today was all due to the cultivation of the Prime Minister. If Yun had not met the Prime Minister, he would have said Maybe he’s just a country hero now.”

Guo Jiadao: "Since you never thought that you could become a general, why do you think today that you will not become a powerful minister in the court in the future?"

"This one……"

"Zilong, are you questioning the Prime Minister's vision?"

Zhao Yun said hurriedly: "Of course Yun doesn't dare to question the Prime Minister! I have always admired the Prime Minister's way of looking at people!"

"The Prime Minister knows people very accurately, is the best at recruiting talented people, and appoints good talents. The Prime Minister is ranked first in the world in recruiting people!"

Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's it. Since you know that the Prime Minister is a man who understands people and is good at handling tasks, why should you have doubts? Since the Prime Minister is willing to call you back to Chang'an, it means that he is full of confidence in you. "

"I think there will be a place where you can be useful in Chang'an City."

"The world is so big. As a general of a country, you can't just exercise your ability to command troops at the border, but you must also have an overall perspective."

"The Prime Minister sent you to Chang'an because he definitely wants to hone your abilities and make you become the commander-in-chief of the country from a frontier general. By sitting in Chang'an, you can get more military information about all aspects of the world and be better able to coordinate the overall situation."

"Zilong, a general who stands in the imperial court can not only lead troops to fight, but also understand how a country's army operates from top to bottom, including the subtle relationship between the court and the frontline soldiers and horses, and how to use From a national perspective, what preparations must be made for the army of a country..."

"You can't learn these things in border counties."

"The Prime Minister has just entered the imperial court. Although he is in a high position, he still needs direct relatives around him to help him control the military and political affairs."

"The Prime Minister transferred you to Chang'an at this time, which shows that he has full trust in you."

"If you hesitate at this time, you will betray the Prime Minister's trust in you."

"Zilong, can you bear to let down the Prime Minister?"

"According to Guo, this is not who you are as a person."

Zhao Yun finally understood what Guo Jia said.

He quickly stood up and bowed his hands to Guo Jia respectfully.

"What Uncle Fang said is true. Yun was unclear for a while and almost delayed the Prime Minister's important event! It seems that I must go to Chang'an City."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Go, go to Chang'an City, take a good look at the world, take a good look at our Han Dynasty, and take a good look at the difference between the Han Dynasty in the sky and the Han Dynasty among the people."

Zhao Yun nodded, suddenly seeming to remember something again.

"Why didn't the Prime Minister transfer Uncle Fang to Chang'an? Since the Prime Minister needs to arrange his own manpower in Chang'an, wouldn't Uncle Fang be the best candidate?"

Guo Jiadao: "I believe I will go there sooner or later, but in the eyes of the Prime Minister, maybe not now."

Zhao Yun nodded and said nothing more.

He began to think about what kind of changes he should make after returning to Chang'an this time.

As Guo Jia said, after arriving in Chang'an, he will change his perspective on things. He wanted to view everything that happened in the Han Dynasty from a higher perspective.

……

At the same time, in addition to Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei from Youzhou also received Liu Jian's order to transfer him to Chang'an.

"Haha, brother, you finally remembered me."

Zhang Fei was sitting with Jian Yong at the moment.

He smiled and shook the silk in his hand at Jian Yong: "From now on, I can be regarded as a nobleman in the capital, but this time it is different from before."

Jian Yong teased him: "If you go to Chang'an, you have to tidy up your appearance."

"So that when we get to Chang'an, we won't be laughed at by those insects who have always been in high positions."

At this moment, Jian Yong was very happy for Zhang Fei.

At the same time, he was also happy for Liu Jian.

"Hi, after more than ten years, everyone has finally returned to the court."

"Think about when the prime minister first entered the court, he had to be controlled by others."

"Now times have changed, and when we enter Chang'an again, the prime minister is already the one in control of the chessboard."

"There are very few people in the world who can compete with the Prime Minister."

"It seems that we can really see a different world in this life."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly when he heard this:

"Xian Hechang, this letter also mentions you."

Jian Yong was shocked when he heard this.

"The Prime Minister hasn't mentioned me in official documents for a long time... However, he often writes letters home to me."

Jian Yong babbled while taking the piece of silk from Zhang Fei's hand.

After looking at the contents on the silk, Jian Yongsui was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"This...the Prime Minister actually asked me to take over Xun Yu's position and serve as the governor of Youzhou?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Wen Ruogong has now become Shangshu Ling. This territory of Youzhou needs someone to continue to take charge of the overall situation. It seems that the Prime Minister wants to hand over this important task to his brother."

Jian Yong has an easy-going personality. He smiled bitterly and said, "But how can I compare to Xun Yu in terms of ability?"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said, "Brother, why do you have to be so presumptuous about yourself?"

"Actually, according to my opinion, my brother has been assisting Xun Wenruo in Youzhou over the years to deal with various problems in Youzhou, and he has also learned a lot of skills from Xun Wenruo. Moreover, various industries in Youzhou now, including the acquisition of foreigners, have been It has developed to a certain scale.”

"As long as we continue step by step, there will be no trouble."

"Brother, you have stayed in Youzhou for such a long time. You have a thorough understanding of Youzhou's personnel, landforms, and various interpersonal relationships, including whether the policies are sound or not. Although my brother is a little behind when it comes to expanding your business. , but you are the most suitable candidate to replace the Prime Minister in Youzhou."

What Zhang Fei said was so sensible that it made Jian Yong feel comfortable and confident.

"It's just that I'm a native of Youzhou, how can I serve as governor? The Three Mutual Laws don't allow it..."

Zhang Fei said: "I think the Prime Minister wants to abolish the Three Mutual Laws in order to establish his authority!"

Jian Yong was shocked when he heard this: "Why do you say this?"

"The Three Mutual Laws were just a helpless move at the time, to prevent families from colluding with each other in the local area to cause trouble, but in fact it was just a helpless move. If we want to completely prevent local officials from colluding with each other, using the Three Mutual Laws will definitely not last long. count!"

Jian Yong listened to Zhang Fei's solemn words and said with emotion: "Yide, after so many years, you are really impressive! In addition to your ability to use troops, your ability to govern and analyze the current situation has been greatly enhanced. To be honest, You are really versatile in both civil and military affairs now."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "We are all brothers fighting against the Prime Minister. Since I can make progress, brother, how can your progress be small?"

"It's just that you don't know it in your heart."

Jian gently rubbed her nose with her right hand and said: "With what you said, I have some confidence. Besides, with the help of Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others, I am not afraid of anything happening... Well... Everything in Youzhou is originally It's already going smoothly, as long as everything goes as usual, there will definitely be no problems, I can be the governor of Youzhou."

"The key is that if there is any trouble, there must be several generals who can be mobilized to counter the rebellion! If you leave, I will have to ask the Prime Minister to send me strong generals from Chang'an."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this. Who is the Prime Minister? Youzhou is such an important place. The main ironware, coal, timber, water conservancy, grain growing and metallurgical industries of our Han Dynasty are all here. How could he not send important generals to guard it?"

"So you should be your governor of Youzhou. As for military matters, the prime minister will definitely think of them for you in advance, right?"

Jian Yong nodded heavily and said, "Being able to guard one side for the Prime Minister, my brother is not too incompetent."

"Yide, actually it's easy to talk about my side of things, but if you go to Chang'an, remember to be more careful."

"Although there is a prime minister sitting in Chang'an City, after all, we have just settled in the court. Chaos and conspiracies have always been inevitable in the court of the Han Dynasty."

Zhang Fei said seriously: "As long as the Prime Minister is here, I am not afraid of anything! No matter how dangerous the Han court is, I believe that with our brothers' ability, we will be able to get through it safely! I, Lao Zhang, am still afraid of the court. Everything is going smoothly and everything is peaceful!"

……

……

Just as Zhang Fei and Jian Yong had guessed, Liu Jian had indeed made arrangements for everything in Youzhou.

Zhang Fei left Youzhou, and Liu Jian decided to let Qu Yi and Gao Lan go to Youzhou to take charge of the military.

With these two people here, there won't be any big trouble in Youzhou.

In fact, Liu Jian was hesitant at first about the general who returned to Youzhou to guard him. He felt that Gongsun Zan was a more suitable person.

But after thinking about it later, Liu Jian still vetoed the matter.

Gongsun Zan's approach to certain matters was too radical, and the reputation of Gongsun's Youzhou in western Liaoning was too loud.

Gongsun Zan is a bit arrogant. If he returns to Youzhou, he will cause trouble in the future if he is not safe.

Besides, Gongsun Zan is still his senior brother in name. I am afraid that if he continues to be favored and arrogant, no one in Youzhou will dare to do anything to him, and it will be easier for him to get carried away.

After much thought, it was safer to let Qu Yi and Gao Lan go back.

At this time, news came from Chencang that Xu Huang had stopped Hu Zhen who wanted to escape back to Liangzhou, and there were many fleeing sergeants who intended to return to Xiliang through Chencang, and sent people to escort them back. Chang'an.

After hearing that Hu Zhen was captured alive, Liu Jian knew that the overall situation in Guanzhong was stable.
