Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 300
Cao Zhi agreed to take office in Pingyuan County.

Looking at the back of Cao Zhi leaving, Zhang De smiled. Zhang De knew the situation in Pingyuan County.Pingyuan County is small and poor, with no special products, and a population of less than a thousand people. Zhang De sent a few county magistrates before, but Pingyuan County has always been the same, so now Zhang De wants to see what this Cao Zhi is capable of. .

Five days later, Cao Zhi had gone to Pingyuan to take up his post, and at this time, Zhang De received a letter.A letter from Xuchang.

The letter was written by Cao Song to his son-in-law. It basically said that Cao Cao was ill. Cao Song knew that Zhang De was capable, so he hoped to send Cao Cao to Beihai and let Zhang De treat Cao Cao.

Zhang De knew something about Cao Cao's illness, but Xu Chang only said that Cao Cao had a headache and it was not serious.

It is well known that Cao Cao suffers from headaches, so Zhang De was not surprised that Cao Cao fell ill, but from Cao Song's letter, it seems that Cao Cao was seriously ill this time, otherwise he would not have found himself, the fake "Zhang Immortal". ".

A few days later, the news from Guanzhong came.

The news that Liu Chan planned to kill Sima Yi has now spread throughout the Central Plains.

In Zhang De's impression, Liu Chan was the adou who couldn't help him, but now this information surprised Zhang De. Is this the adou he knew?

A Dou, the famous person in history who couldn't get up, the guy who kept saying "I'm happy here, don't miss Shu", now this idiot guy actually got rid of Sima Yi who even Zhuge Liang couldn't deal with!
Prior to this, Zhang De did not collect any information on Liu Chan, and after Liu Chan ascended the throne, the things he did were indeed unbearable. In Zhang De's view, there was no need to collect Liu Chan's information, but now this different Liu Chan makes people Zhang De was caught off guard.

Obviously, this Liu Chan is no longer the useless Liu Chan in history. Judging from Liu Chan's performance today, this Liu Chan can endure and is ruthless. More importantly, Liu Chan is just a teenager!
Now Liu Chan is sitting in Yongzhou.If the five prefectures of Liangzhou, Yizhou, Sili, and Bingzhou were to be divided into ten parts, Liu Chan might be able to occupy four parts!
Moreover, Liu Chan also has strong generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Xu Huang, counselors like Jia Xu, Fazheng, and Zhang Song, and Xiliang cavalry under him. Compared with Zhang Delai, Liu Chan's military strength is not inferior.

What Liu Chan lacked was population. The population under Liu Chan's rule was smaller than that under Zhang De's. However, Liu Chan was sitting on the natural danger of Hangu and the Shu Road, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which offset Liu Chan's disadvantage.

……

A month later.

Cao Cao was sent to Beihai by Cao De.

When Zhang De saw Cao Cao, he knew that Cao Cao had a stroke, and the stroke caused a cerebral thrombosis, so now Cao Cao's body can no longer move!
Zhang De thought that he did not have such a great ability to cure cerebral thrombosis, so Zhang De handed Cao Cao over to Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji.

More than a month later, good news came from Jiaozhou that Wei Yan's army had captured Jiaozhi. So far, Zhang De had added another state's territory.It's just that the content of this state is not as good as that of a county in Qingzhou.

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Usually, at the end of the year, each county will present the performance of the year to Beihai.Give Zhang De a look, but with so many places under Zhang De's rule, it is naturally impossible to go through them one by one in detail. Under normal circumstances, Ju Shou and others will present some more important ones, while most of the others are simple details.

Zhang De is more concerned about Jiangdong, and the other is the Northern Territory Governor's Mansion.

Jiangdong is Zhang Dexin's territory. Compared with other places, people's hearts are still unstable and government orders are not smooth, so Zhang De is naturally very concerned about Jiangdong, and the Northern Territory Protectorate is in charge of the situation of the northern minorities. Zhang De is naturally also concerned about the integration of ethnic groups and the safety of the North in the future.

But what Zhang De didn't expect was that in the year-end evaluation, the best official evaluation was actually Pingyuan County in Jizhou!
Pingyuan County is a poor place with few people and thin land. Moreover, Pingyuan County is located in a plain area. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been constant wars. The surrounding bandits and horse thieves also like to patronize Pingyuan County, making Pingyuan County a famous poor place.

The county magistrate of Pingyuan is Cao Zhi. Zhang De didn't expect that Cao Zhi would be able to make a big difference in Pingyuan in just a short period of time. Zhang De couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, Cao Zhi, the county magistrate of Pingyuan, is indeed capable, but I have to recommend another person!" It was Jushou who spoke, and Jushou was mainly responsible for the evaluation of the officials.

"Sir, please speak!" Zhang De said.

"Cao Zhi went to Pingyuan County this time, and brought a teacher with him. This person is quite talented. If it weren't for this person's help, I am afraid that Cao Zhi would not be able to manage Pingyuan County well!" Ju Shou said.

Hearing this, Zhang De became interested. It seemed that Cao Zhi really had hidden dragons and crouching tigers in his hands, so Zhang De asked, "I don't know who this master is?"

"This person's surname is Yang Mingxiu, and his style name is Dezu. He is a native of Hongnong Huayin. His ancestor Yang Xi, his great ancestor made meritorious service during his time, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Chiquan. His great ancestor Yang Zhen, his great grandfather Yang Bing, his ancestor Yang Ci, and his father Yang Biao four successively served as Sikong, The positions of Situ and Taiwei are three princes, and the Yang family is also a famous family of "four generations and three princes"!"

Hearing this, Zhang De said to himself, no wonder, it turned out to be Yang Xiu, a smart man, who never thought that he would come to Qingzhou with Cao Zhi!
Speaking of Yang Xiu, he is recognized as a smart person. Although he has not seen any resourcefulness, this person's brain is very flexible. It's just that Yang Xiu is too smart, too smart, so he accidentally provoked a murder Yang Xiu has also become an outstanding representative of being clever but being mistaken by cleverness.

In fact, Zhang De also knows that Yang Xiu is just an unfortunate victim of the internal struggle of the Cao family. Once the struggle for power is involved, let alone Yang Xiu, people like Sima Yi and Jia Xu can only hide away. Far.

However, Zhang De was still very curious about Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu's ability to become Cao Cao's master book showed that Yang Xiu was indeed very capable. Such a talent, Zhang De could not let go!

At this moment, Li Rou beside him interjected, "My lord, this Yang Xiu can't be used much!"

"Why?" Before Zhang De could speak, Ju Shou next to him asked the question first.Ju Shou recommended someone with great difficulty, but Li Rou said that he couldn't use it, and no one felt uncomfortable!
Li Rou said slowly: "Lord Jushou, don't forget that Yang Xiu is the nephew of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!"

Hearing this, Ju Shou finally understood that Yang Xiu's mother was Yuan Shao's younger sister, so Yang Xiu was Yuan Shao's nephew.Based on this alone, Zhang De might not dare to reuse Yang Xiu!
