Chapter 72

Leaving behind a lot of food and supplies, the tigers and leopards rode light carts and rushed to Guangtao County five days later. Di Renjie and Chen Ping came to meet the army outside the city in person.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted to governor of Jizhou, general of Zhennan, and Marquis of Anping!"

"Congratulations, my lord, for going one step further!"

Seeing Di Renjie and Chen Ping appear in sight, Gongsun Yue hurriedly got off his horse to help them up. Although he was busy with the military for the past two months, he has been paying attention to the trend in Youzhou.

"Mr. Renjie, Mr. Wenjie, Liu Youzhou is putting me on fire!
Now Jizhou Bohai County and other six counties are still in Yuan Shao's hands, and the eldest brother occupies Hejian County, Zhongshan County and Changshan County. As the governor of Jizhou, I only have three counties, which can be said to do more harm than good.

Now my elder brother and I have just divided the six counties west of Qinghe in Jizhou equally. Once my elder brother finds out about this memorial, I may think that Liu Youzhou and I have some ulterior plan, and brother Ni Qiang is right around the corner! "

Liu Yu had been at odds with Gongsun Zan for a long time. After learning that he and Gongsun Yue had defeated Yuan Shao, he worshiped Gongsun Zan as a former general, governor of Qingzhou, and Yi Hou to the court, and wanted to kick Gongsun Zan away from Youzhou.

At the same time, worship Gongsun Yue as governor of Jizhou, general of Zhennan, and marquis of Anping. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. The Vietnamese joined forces to attack it together.

"My lord, although Liu Youzhou's two memorials are tricks, they cannot be criticized in a righteous way, but my lord wants to accept his kindness.

Although it is said that those who play with fire will be burned, but Liu Youzhou's reputation is too great. If the lord wants to stabilize You and Jizhou, he has to rely on his prestige. It is better to wait and see what happens. The former general will act soon. "

Regarding Chen Ping's meaning, Gongsun Yue naturally understood that once the imperial appointment arrived, unless Gongsun Zan went to Qingzhou to take up the post honestly, he would be condemned in righteousness no matter whether he stayed still or marched northward.

As long as Gongsun Zan loses righteousness, then Liu Yu will definitely make follow-up actions, but whether he can achieve his goal depends on his own strength.

"My lord, let's go back to the Zhennan General's Mansion first. There are dozens of talents there, waiting for the lord to determine where they should go."

The dozens of talents that Di Renjie mentioned were naturally the candidate magistrates brought from Yuyang, but for the sake of stability, multiple considerations must be taken into account.

"Okay, okay, this is the most important thing right now, we really should see them.

Zaixing, Ziyi, you lead the leopard riders to take over the city defense, Brother Feihu, the safety of Guangtao County is in your hands! "

"Yes, my lord!"

After arranging the city defense, Gongsun Yue turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, and asked him to go outside the city to take over the Fifth Army Battalion of Youwu Soldier to complete the handover.

"Mr. Renjie, let me introduce you. This is Jingzhao Duyu Du Yuankai. He is currently serving as Anping Chief History Officer and is in charge of the government affairs of Anping County.

This time I came to Guangtao County to select candidates from the 13 counties of Anping County. The three of you are my arms, and I took this opportunity to have an in-depth exchange. "

Chen Ping and Di Renjie had heard of Du Yu's name a long time ago, and they had a long-standing friendship with this great talent who was newly cast under Gongsun Yue's tent and was highly valued, but they just hadn't been able to meet him.

"Mr. Yuan Kai comes from the Jingzhao Du family. My lord's ability to know people is naturally admired by the officials. This is a rare opportunity. I must ask Mr. Yuan Kai for advice!"

"Mr. Renjie has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, and Mr. Wenjie is a master of heaven and man. It is a great honor for Yuan Kai to have the opportunity to ask the two gentlemen for advice this time!"

After Di Renjie, Chen Ping, and Du Yu complimented each other, they were escorted by the Wushuang Battalion to the General's Mansion in Guangtao City under the urging of Gongsun Yue.

"My sages, if you can come to Guangtao, this general welcomes you very much. Now there are 38 counties in total in the three counties, and the native gentry of each counties must be considered. Only some of you can serve as county magistrates.

But you sages can rest assured that even if you can't serve as the county magistrate, you can also serve as the chief secretary and meritorious service officer of each county. In two or three years, you can at least serve as the county magistrate.

If any of you can't take up the post of county magistrate, and you don't like the low salary of the official, you can leave at any time, and the official will definitely send you out of the country with generous gifts! "

Among the dozens of people in the general's mansion, in addition to the 50 talents summoned through the [Eye of History], there are also many talented people recruited from the local area. It is indeed more than enough to serve as a county magistrate.

Looking at all the people in the mansion one by one, Gongsun Yue already had a general understanding of them in his heart. After comparing them with the roster one by one, he couldn't help but secretly nodded. The evaluation was generally fair and there was nothing wrong with them.

"General, I will definitely settle down to practice and live up to the general's expectations!"

"Very good, tonight the general will prepare wine for you to practice, starting tomorrow, you will set off, I hope you can make political achievements in the counties.

Now that the three counties are newly descended, there are many complicated affairs. I hope that Er and others can understand the people's sentiments, make the people happy and work as soon as possible, and don't delay tomorrow's spring plowing! "

The next thing was much simpler. Han Qinhu and Du Yu first selected talents, each selected [-] talents, and planned to return to the county together tomorrow.

That night, Gongsun Yue, Di Renjie, Chen Ping, and Du Yu had a long talk all night long, while Han Qinhu humbly asked for advice. This chat lasted all night, and they still had more to say until dawn.

After seeing off Han Qinhu and Du Yu, Gongsun Yue came to the backyard when he was free, and said goodbye to Wang Zhaojun who hadn't seen him for two months, and then went back to the room and fell asleep.

This was the soundest sleep Gongsun Yue had in the past two months. When he woke up, it was already late at night and he felt very hungry.

"General, your heartstrings have been tense for the past two months, and now you can't let go when you get home. Even when you're sleeping, your brows are tightly knit together, and you haven't relaxed it. It makes me feel really distressed."

"Miss Ah Qiang, this is just the aftermath of the war. It will be adjusted after a while. The first thing to do now is to sacrifice to the Temple of the Five Viscera. Didn't you hear that my stomach is growling with hunger?"

"Wait a minute, general. The food is ready. I'll let Sister Chunlan and the others bring it in."

While talking, Wang Zhaojun walked out of the house, and not long after, he took four maids, Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuju and Dongmei, and put the food on the table.

While the four maids of Chunlan were serving Gongsun Yue to eat, Wang Zhaojun took out the pipa and began to play cheerful and melodious tunes, while singing softly.

As the time passed, Gongsun Yue unconsciously ate all the food on the table. After drinking and eating, he felt that all the cells in his body opened their mouths, breathing the surrounding air hungrily.

"Miss Ah Qiang, it's late at night, go to bed early"

"General, I will help you change your clothes."

The next thing is not enough for outsiders to understand. The spring night is worth a thousand dollars, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy, the singing is soft, the swing courtyard is dark at night.
