Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 251 Governing Huainan, Guan Yu escorts Yuan to Beijing

Huang Yi's martial arts and intelligence are just average.

However, this kind of mind is rare for ordinary people.

Huang Yi, who had both ears cut off by Guan Yu because of his defeat, did not give up on himself or have any psychological distortions. Instead, he has been working hard to live, and he is also trying to live a better life than ordinary people.

Zheng Ping originally wanted to start with Yuan Yao and treat Yuan Yao kindly to win over Yuan Shu's old department.

But now, Huang Yi is a better choice than Yuan Yao.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, and being able to endure what ordinary people cannot, even if such a person lacks talent, his future achievements will not be low.

At this time, Huang Yi was very grateful to Zheng Ping in his heart.

Huang Yi was wounded by a stick to carry out bitter tricks. After Sun Jian's surprise attack on Cao Ying, he escaped in the chaos.

When Zheng Ping heard the news, he came to observe Huang Yi's injury in person. What moved Huang Yi even more was that Zheng Ping invited Hua Tuo, a genius doctor from Qiao County, to Huai Ling City.

Hua Tuo came to Huai Ling City not simply because of Huang Yi.

Rather, Zheng Ping was worried that the frequent wars in Huai Ling would cause a plague if they could not be handled correctly.

Although Hua Tuo is not as specialized in plague control as Zhang Zhongjing, this medical expert, when looking at problems dialectically, often leads to the same goal.

With Hua Tuo coming to Huai Ling City to give advice, Zheng Ping can feel much more at ease.

The disaster of military struggle cannot be avoided, but Zheng Ping can't just walk away and leave a mess in Huai Ling.

It was about to start spring plowing, if the people of Huai Ling were infected with the plague because of this, it would be Zheng Ping's big mistake.

As for Hua Tuo's treatment of Huang Yi's stick injury, he just did it conveniently.

But in Huang Yi's eyes, Zheng Ping specially asked Hua Tuo to treat his stick injury, because he was really worried about his injury!

It is not too much to repay such a great kindness.

Therefore, when Zheng Ping asked Huang Yi to go to Shouchun in person to appease Yuan Shu's old department, Huang Yi agreed without thinking.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xianmou, Yuan Yao is my brother-in-law, and he is quite convinced of me."

"As long as I go to Shouchun, I will be able to persuade Yuan Yao and Shouchun Wenwu to surrender."

Huang Yi patted his chest to assure.

After appeasing Huang Yi, Zheng Ping summoned civil and military officials to discuss the candidates for the prefect of Jiujiang, and Huang Yi was also invited to attend.

Huainan is a place name, and Jiujiang County is a county name.

The Jiujiang prefect governed the Huainan area.

In the past, the prefect of Jiujiang was Chen Liu's famous official Bianrang, but Bianrang failed to restrain the gentry of Jiujiang County.

But now, Jiujiang County has been violently expropriated by Yuan Shu, the scholars and people are exhausted, refugees are everywhere, and even the people have to change their sons to eat.

It will not be much better than the situation when Liu Bei first set up Qingzhou in the past.

In such a withered Jiujiang County, if an effective prefect team cannot be formed, it will be difficult to restore the people's livelihood in Jiujiang County.

Jiang Qin once again made a list of recommendations: "At the end of the day, I will recommend Cang Ci Cang Xiaoren from Shouchun. This man is quite good at farming, and he is good at keeping promises. He is worthy of great responsibility."

When Jiang Qin mentioned Cang Ci's name, Zheng Ping subconsciously thought of a comment: Zheng Hun and Cang Ci are very considerate.It's all about keeping the name of the Wei Dynasty!Forgive me for repeating the current affairs, and the theory of governance shows that there are considerable achievements.

During the Jian'an period, Cao Cao recruited people to farm in Huainan, and made Cang Ci the captain of Suiji, which made him quite successful.

During the period of Cao Pi, Cang Ci successively served as the prefect of Dunhuang. He acted vigorously and vigorously, restrained the powerful and the right, and supported the poor and poor, all of which were very in line with the actual situation of local political affairs.In the past, there was surplus land occupied by the big clans, but the small folks had no land to stand on. Cangci cut off the surplus land from the big clans and distributed them to the poor and weak people, and only let the people gradually return the land tax.

Zheng Hun's fifth patriarch, Zheng Xing, and great-grandfather Zheng Zhong were both well-known Confucians at the time. Zheng Hun's elder brother, Zheng Tai, had participated in the assassination of Dong Zhuo with Xun You and others.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Ping looked at Huang Yi: "Huang Yi, I heard that Zheng Wengong, Zheng Gongye's younger brother, took refuge in Huainan. Do you know where he is now?"

Huang Yi was surprised and said: "Has Mr. Xianmou heard of Zheng Wengong's name? Zheng Wengong did come to Shouchun before, and Yue Zhang also treated him with courtesy."

"But Zheng Wengong had an excuse to find his friend Hua Xin, so he went to Yuzhang County at the beginning of last year."

"Zheng Wengong has a great talent, and he is indeed a suitable candidate to be the prefect of Jiujiang. It's a pity that he is in Yuzhang, so he may not come to Jiujiang County."

There was a smile in Zheng Ping's eyes.

Since we are friends with Hua Xin, wanting Zheng Hun to come to Jiujiang County can only be resolved with a letter.

But Zheng Hun and Cang Ci are not enough. To govern Jiujiang County and appease Yuan Shu's former troops, more prestigious officials are needed to sit in the town.

"Yide." Zheng Ping thought for a long time, and called out: "You go back to Linzi City immediately, please send a letter to the former Pingyuan Prime Minister Yuan Fanggong, inviting Yuan Fanggong to temporarily serve as the governor of Jiujiang to appease the people of Jiujiang."

"You personally lead the troops to Qiao County to deliver the letter. If Duke Yuan Fang is willing to serve as an official, then escort Duke Yuan Fang and his son to Huai Ling City."

Since Chen Ji abdicated to Liu Bei, he has been reclusive in Qiao County.

Chen Ji's reputation is very high.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang, Shen Tupan, Xiang Kai, Han Rong, Chen Ji and other 14 people were enlisted as doctors.

Chen Ji originally had the heart to help the world, and because Chen Ji had the kindness to promote Liu Bei, whether it was public or private, Jiujiang County, an important county, could be handed over to Chen Ji with confidence.

With Chen Ji's reputation, he will not be underestimated to appease Yuan Shu's old department.

Chen Ji, one of the three monarchs, is admirable enough.

After instructing Zhang Fei, Zheng Ping said to Zhuge Jin again: "A Jin, go to Yuzhang County to find Brother Ziyu and invite Zheng Wengong to come to Huai Ling City."

"Tell Zheng Wengong that Yuan Fanggong needs a county meritorious officer to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang, and Zheng Wengong was named by Yuan Fanggong."

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment: "Brother, can you still say that?"

Is Zheng Hun the county meritorious officer that Chen Ji asked for by name?
Don't you even think about this lie?
Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Both of them are from Yuzhou, so it is very reasonable to recommend each other. Yuan Fanggong once said: Zheng Wengong has the talent to help the world, such a talent, if we can work together, it will be a good talk?"

"Ajin, when inviting a sage, you must pay attention to your words, and don't be too real."

After Zhuge Jin took the order, Zheng Ping looked at Jiang Qin again: "Uncle Jiang, please take a hard walk, please come to Huai Ling City for that Cangci."

"Just tell Cang Ci that Yuan Fanggong, one of the three monarchs, will soon be the governor of Jiujiang, and the famous official Zheng Wengong will be the meritorious officer of Jiujiang. If he wishes to come, he can come to Huai Ling City and wait for the arrival of the two famous officials."

"If Cangci has friends who are sages, you can also call them together."

Chen Ji and Zheng Hun are both well-known officials in the world, so Zheng Ping will naturally give priority to them.

Although Cang Ci will have great achievements in the future, but now he is only a county official, and his reputation and ability are not enough to take up the important post of prefect.

Summon him to Huai Ling City, and then introduce him to Chen Ji and Zheng Hun, so that the government affairs team of Jiujiang County headed by Chen Ji and Zheng Hun can be established.

As for martial arts, Zheng Ping did not intend to hand them over to Chen Ji and Zheng Hun.

Jiujiang County has a special geographical location and requires a general to sit in the town.

After Tai Shici pacified the Jiangdong counties, the government will be moved to Jiujiang County.

Only when Tai Shici led the army to sit in Jiujiang County, Zheng Ping could rest assured.

After finalizing the civil and military affairs of Jiujiang County, Zheng Ping compiled them into a book and asked Zhang Fei to bring them back to Linzi City and hand them over to Liu Bei.

Seeing that Zheng Ping was going to make Chen Ji the governor of Jiujiang, Liu Bei immediately wrote a letter to Chen Ji and prepared a memorial at the same time.

If Chen Ji is willing to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang, the memorial will be sent to Chang'an immediately, and Liu Xie will be asked for instructions.

After all, this Tai Shici is not Yangzhou Mu, so he cannot directly appoint the prefect.

Liu Bei still maintained an attitude of respecting the emperor, and did not appoint a prefect without authorization.

At Liu Bei's urging, Chen Ji agreed to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang, but he would only officially take the post after being appointed by Liu Xie.

Before that, Chen Ji would only temporarily lead the Jiujiang prefect and be in charge of the upcoming spring plowing in Jiujiang County.

If the court appoints a new Jiujiang prefect, Chen Ji will step down.

Chen Ji's request was very reasonable, whether it was Zhang Fei who took Chen Ji to the south, or Zheng Ping from Huai Ling City, they all agreed with Chen Ji's request.

After Chen Ji arrived in Huai Ling City, Zheng Hun and Cang Ci also arrived in Huai Ling City one after another.

Yuan Yao of Shouchun, under Huang Yi's persuasion, also agreed to surrender.

Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang County appointed by Yuan Shu, also demoted Tai Shici during this period.

Since then.

The six counties of Yangzhou are all in the hands of Liu Bei!
Although the official appointment of the imperial court has not yet been issued, Liu Bei has actually controlled the six counties of Yangzhou.

March.

Guan Yu escorted Yuan Shu, entered Luoyang via Yanzhou, and entered the border of Guanzhong via Tongguan.

No matter Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong who were in charge of Chang'an's military administration were all surprised when they learned that Yuan Shu, the Duke of Jiujiang appointed by the puppet emperor, was captured alive and brought into Chang'an City.

In the south of the Yellow River, Yuan Shu was the only force supporting the puppet emperor in Zhuocheng.

Now that Yuan Shu is captured alive, it means that there are no false emperors in the south of the Yellow River!
"As expected of Lu Shangshu's disciple, he was able to capture Yuan Shu, a traitor, alive!" Liu Xie was overjoyed: "Here's an order, I'm going out of Chang'an City to meet the Marquis of Hanshouting!"

Although Liu Xie was a little more guarded against Liu Bei under the intentional or unintentional indoctrination of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, but Liu Xie still trusted Guan Yu.

After all, it was recommended by Lu Zhi before his death, and it is still a "Han Shouting Hou" with special meaning.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong looked at each other and shook their heads.

The two didn't want Liu Xie to greet Guan Yu in person, as that would make Guan Yu's prestige too high.

And Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and it is absolutely impossible for him to betray Liu Bei.

If Liu Xie attaches too much importance to Guan Yu, it will be very difficult to cut Liu Bei's power in the future.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Gong remonstrated, "Although Marquis of Hanshouting captured Yuan Shu alive, welcoming his ministers with the king will inevitably make them feel arrogant."

"Emperors need majesty to make their subjects submit."

Liu Xie hesitated immediately: "If you don't greet Hanshoutinghou in person, how can you let Hanshoutinghou know how much I value you?"

Chen Gong restrained his expression: "Your Majesty! Forgive me, if the Marquis of Hanshou Ting needs His Majesty to greet him in person, then he will be grateful. Wouldn't it be absurd?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the leader of the ministers."

"The Marquis of Hanshouting should be in awe of His Majesty. Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king! How could Marquis of Hanshouting be ingratitude because His Majesty did not greet him in person?"

"If Your Majesty welcomes the Marquis of Hanshouting this time, will he welcome other heroes next time?"

"If you don't welcome him, won't the loyal ministers and righteous men mistakenly think that His Majesty is contemptuous of the wise men?"

Chen Gong spoke clearly and logically, making Liu Xie dizzy.

a long time.

Liu Xie accepted Chen Gong's remonstrance: "Then according to Shang Shu's words, I can only greet you outside the palace gate."

Chen Gong bowed his hands and did not forget to praise: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Paused.

Chen Gong said again: "Your Majesty, now that Yuan Shu has been captured in Chang'an, how to deal with Yuan Shu still needs to be considered by Your Majesty."

Liu Xie said without hesitation: "What else is there to consider? To deal with such rebellious thieves, just kill them."

Chen Gong asked: "If Yuan Shu is to be killed, will the three clans be exiled?"

Liu Xie nodded: "Naturally, it is necessary to barbarian. This has been the case since ancient times."

Chen Gong asked again: "What about Yuan Shu's old department?"

Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and said, "Yuan Shu made a mistake, and it's enough to harm the three clans. As for Yuan Shu's old department, we can measure the magnitude of his crimes and hand them over to the governor of Yangzhou to deal with them according to the law."

In the crowd, Yang Biao's face suddenly became a little ugly.

What Liu Xie said was not only to kill Yuan Shu's clan, but also to dispose of Yuan Shu's old clan.

Yang Biao's wife is from the Yuan family in Runan. If Liu Xie really treats her like this, Yang Biao will also be implicated.

Chen Gong glanced at the ministers with different expressions, and remonstrated again: "Your Majesty, I think that such a big fight will damage your Majesty's reputation of benevolence."

"Although Yuan Shu is the Duke of Jiujiang bestowed by the false emperor, but before this, Yuan Shu also had the act of saving him from King Qin."

"People can not escape from doing wrong?"

"Now that Yuan Shu has been captured alive, His Majesty should focus on appeasement, only discussing the crimes committed by Yuan Shu alone, and pardon the crimes committed by Yuan Shu's family members and the former Ministry."

"In this way, everyone in the world will know the name of His Majesty's benevolence, and Yuan Shu's old army will not rebel like Dong Zhuo's old army."

Yang Biao glanced at Chen Gong gratefully, and came out and said, "Your Majesty, my wife is also from the Yuan family. I would like to help your majesty and accept the heart of the old man of the Yuan family, so as to honor your majesty's benevolence and virtuous reputation."

There are also many ministers in the court who are Yuan's protégés and old officials, so naturally they don't want Liu Xie to be too harsh on this matter.

Da Si Nong Zhou Zhong is also on the list, hoping that Liu Xie can act benevolently and not let the old things of Li Jue and Guo Si repeat themselves.

But Gongqing's reaction was all in the eyes of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong already have a sense of who can win over and who needs to be suppressed.

Seeing that all the ministers were like this, Liu Xie, who didn't have much opinion, adopted Chen Gong's suggestion and decided to only talk about Yuan Shu's crimes.

After chatting for too long, Liu Xie also felt tired and less interested in welcoming Guan Yu.

"Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu was captured alive by Guan Yu. Liu Bei's power is getting stronger and stronger, and he may not listen to His Majesty's orders." After retiring from the court, Chen Gong chatted with Zhang Miao in private, feeling more worried.

Zhang Miao also frowned: "We still need Liu Bei to fight against Yuan Shao, and we can't force Liu Bei too much."

"But if Liu Bei is not restricted, the power in the future will inevitably be above you and me."

"Liu Bei is also a member of the Han family. If he controls the government, who in this world can blame him?"

"I intend to send someone to invite Meng De to Chang'an, what do you think of Gongtai?"

Chen Gong's eyes froze: "Meng Zhuo, Cao Mengde is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. If you invite him to Chang'an, what official position does Meng Zhuo plan to grant him?"
