Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.

When people live in this world, everyone has their own roles to play. Everyone in the same era plays the same drama, but some have more scenes, some have fewer scenes, some have the protagonists, and some have the supporting roles.

Liu Qi didn't know what role he was in the Han Dynasty now, but he knew that the role he played now was to win people's hearts.

In this era, everything must be legitimate.

This is how Li Dian went back and waited for the opportunity. It was all for this purpose to attract diners to invest when the alliance was formed.

...

With the actions of the Liu father and son, the situation in Jingbei gradually stabilized. Officials at all levels were either recommended, solicited, or promoted, and the vacancies of various departments in the gap had been gradually filled and improved. However, there were still some special positions, which Liu Biao had not yet considered clearly, so he was temporarily shelved.

Yiji, Zhang Yun, Li Dian, Wen Pin and others also came to Xiangyang according to the plan of the Liu family and son, which to a certain extent enriched the proportion of the Liu family's power in Jingzhou.

Man Chong, who was disliked by Liu Biao but valued by Liu Qi, had no news after receiving Liu Qi's letter.

Liu Qi was very disappointed. After all, in his vision, Man Chong might be the sharpest sword among the weapons that can help him deal with the prominent clans in Jingzhou!

The problem is that Man Chong ignored him.

But Liu Qi cannot leave Xiangyang to find Man Chong for the time being. He has a lot to do here, so he can only continue to send people to Changyi County, the hometown of Man Chong, and ask him to come out with a sincere word.

In addition to Nanjun and Jiangxia County, among the four counties in southern Jingzhou, Lingling County and Wuling County Magistrates all wrote letters with local clan famous families to express their willingness to support Liu Biao, and to perform county government affairs according to the principles formulated by Liu Biao, and to report the performance charts of each county with Nanjun annually to participate in the planning system.

Since the prefects of the two counties agreed to participate in the plan and were willing to add their county to Jingzhou's political achievements every year, it would be equivalent to recognizing Liu Biao's status as the leader of Jingzhou... at least in an open recognition, which was enough for Liu Biao.

The key lies in the other two counties in Jingzhou, Changsha County and Guiyang County.

Zhang Xian of Guiyang County is a character, the leader of the three major thieves in Nanjun. Liu Qi killed Su Dai and Bei Yu, leaving only Zhang Fang to imprison Zhang Xian in order to control Zhang Xian.

After all, Zhang Xian caused too much obstacle to Liu Biao in history.

In history, Zhang Xian was the governor of three counties in the south, and was very popular with the hearts of the people of Jiang and Hunan. The powerful families in Jingnan all supported Zhang Xian very much.

Later, Zhang Xian rebelled against Liu Biao, and three of the four counties in Jingnan turned to Zhang Xian, which occupied half of Jingzhou and was in a state of competing with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao quelled the Zhang Xian Rebellion and endured for two years but failed to conquer it. Finally, after Zhang Xian died of illness, a turning point occurred, which shows how difficult this bone is to crack.

After repeated discussions with Liu Biao, the father and son made a plan for Zhang Xian, which was to first appease him, and then after the "protecting the king" ended, Jingbei Anding immediately calmed down the chaos.

At present, the brother of Zhang Xian has not died. Liu Biao took his brother as a hostage and asked him to continue to serve as the governor of Guiyang County. Both sides are cautious. I believe that Zhang Xian would not dare to act too badly when he was not strong enough.

It won’t take long to keep him stable for one to two years, and after all the things Liu Biao and his son are done, it’s time to chew this bone.

As for Changsha County...

After the death of Su Dai, the governor of Changsha County, Changsha County was temporarily in a vacuum period. The fourteen counties under its jurisdiction were headless, and a county magistrate urgently needed to go to take charge.

However, Su Dai, the former county magistrate of Changsha, had a strong reputation in Changsha during his lifetime and had a close relationship with local prominent families. After he was killed by Liu Qi, the clans of Changsha County were quite frightened. After investigation and rewards from scouts, there were clans in Jun County and Luo County, which were vaguely in power to defend the county town and disrespect the order.

At this critical moment, we naturally need a Changsha County Magistrate who can live in a shocking place.

After thinking about it, Liu Biao finally chose his subordinate Liu Pan.

Although Liu Qi was the leader in the process of eliminating clans in Nanjun, Liu Pan also showed his loyalty and excellent qualities that were brave at critical moments.

Liu Biao summoned two thousand soldiers among the generals under the Liu family and handed them over to Liu Pan, asking him to go to Changsha to serve as the acting county magistrate of Changsha, and set off immediately.

The reason why he acted as the governor of Changsha is that even the governor of Jingzhou is nominally just a "supervisor" position. Liu Biao has no right to directly appoint a county magistrate with a salary of 2,000 s. He can only appoint Liu Pan as the governor's power without anyone taking charge of Changsha, but he cannot confirm this position.

Just like Cai Mao and Huang Zu.

If Liu Pan wanted to confirm that this 2,000-stone county, he had to submit a memorial to Luoyang, and then the Luoyang Selection Department drafted it by reviewing and submit it to the Shangshutai. The 2,000-stone county was submitted to the ruling emperor and approved it as appropriate.

As for the current situation, it is very difficult for Liu Pan to nominally confirm the Changsha County Magistrate.

Before leaving, Liu Qi seriously instructed Liu Pan.

"Cousin, the situation in Changsha County is not very dangerous, but it is relatively complicated. When you go to Changsha, you must seize the temper of your warrior. Don't rush to make any achievements. As long as you can stabilize the situation, you can treat the local prominent clans in Changsha, if you don't have any confidence in winning, let them give in to everything."

For Liu Pan, who was born as a warrior, the word "repulsive" is "depressed."

"Cousin, if you just tolerate it, when will it be the end? Brother is going to be the county magistrate, not the grandson!" If Liu Biao said this and Liu Pan, Liu Pan might not take it seriously, or would throw it away after listening, but what Liu Qi said to him was a little different.

It is relatively easy to communicate with peers. When one peer has long demonstrated crushing wisdom and emotional intelligence in front of another peer, he is an idol-level existence in the hearts of that peer.

"I can't bear to let my side take action to deal with Zhang Xian, or you have a higher reputation among the prominent families in Changsha than Zhang Xian."

Liu Pan never thought that he would have something to do with Zhang Xian when he went to control Changsha County. He said disdainfully: "Zhang Xian is the governor of Guiyang County, and I am the governor of Changsha County. Even if he is in Jiang, Xiang has a higher reputation than me, how can he be limited to someone?"

"Brother, don't forget that you are just a acting county magistrate of Changsha, not the essence. If you do not have enough fame, Zhang Xian can secretly instigate the prominent Changsha tribes to jointly slander your ills in power, and you can attack and abolish you, so you must endure it."

Liu Pan's expression was quite declining. He nodded and said, "I know, this time I go to Changsha, I will definitely put my temper away. I will be a vain and slander with the local gentry... Alas, I thought that I had been a county magistrate of two thousand stones and could show my ambitions from now on, but I never thought that I would still be a county magistrate. I could not say that I would change it to me at any time."

Liu Qi patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Cousin, patience is only temporary. I believe that this county magistrate with two thousand stones will be confirmed by someone in Luoyang soon... By then, not only you, but I may also have the position of county magistrate with two thousand stones."

Liu Pan didn't know the clan alliance that Liu Qi and Liu Biao were secretly connecting, and he didn't know that once this alliance of protection of the king was really formed, Dong Zhuo from Luoyang would definitely win over the clan alliance to his side at any cost of imperial enfeoffment.

He just simply thought that Liu Qi was comforting himself or that he was daydreaming.

Liu Pan clasped his fists at Liu Qi and said, "Cousin, take care of me, I'll say goodbye to you."

"Brother, take care of yourself, let's see you again the next day."
