Chapter 94 Who will succeed the post of Donglai Governor

Zhou Xing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, General Liu has not had any other intention since he came to Donglai. He only tried his best to suppress the bandits. Now there are no bandits in Donglai County, and the people are coming in droves. However, there are many mountains in Donglai, and there are many people."

With so much land and so little, food is a big problem. Without food, there will be chaos. General Liu is worried about this day and night!"

"The neighboring county of Beihai has a lot of land. General Liu originally wanted to persuade the people from other states and counties to stay in Beihai. However, there were more bandits in Beihai and they repeatedly robbed the people. The people were unwilling to stay. General Liu was worried and wanted to move.

The troops are going to Beihai to suppress the bandits, but I am afraid that it would be inappropriate to send troops across the county and across the border. Therefore, I would like to ask the Ming Envoy to send troops to Beihai to suppress the bandits, wipe out the bandits in the county, and allow the people to live in peace!"

Zhou Xing did not directly say that Liu Bei wanted Beihai, as that would arouse Yuan Tan's suspicion, but instead asked the other party to send troops to suppress the thieves first.

With Yuan Tan's current military strength, it is difficult to send troops to the North Sea to suppress the bandits. If he only sends three to five thousand troops, Zhou Xing believes that his troops will be difficult to suppress the bandits.

If Yuan Tan had not led the troops in person, these troops might not be willing to do their best, and the soldiers would not be willing to fight tooth and nail. However, the bandits and bandits were defending the fortress, and the state soldiers could not be defeated for a long time, and the food and grass consumption was huge. Yuan Tan would definitely seek help from Liu Bei.

However, if the state soldiers do not retreat, Liu Bei will definitely not send troops. He will only send troops after the state soldiers retreat and Liu Bei is allowed to serve as Beihai Prime Minister.

This is just a bad plan. Based on Zhou Xing's understanding of Yuan Tan, it is impossible for him to send troops to Beihai to suppress the bandits.

Before Gongsun Zan in Youzhou was destroyed, the plain land was very important. Yuan Tan had to guard this place to prevent Jizhou from being attacked on both sides again.

Yuan Tan still held the Seal of Qingzhou Mu in his hand, looked up at Zhou Xing, and thought for a long time before saying: "Yes, since Liu Xuande came to Donglai, he has tried his best to suppress thieves. Now there are no thieves in Donglai, but in the adjacent Beihai

The thieves and bandits are gathering together. The bandits are very serious and the people are in trouble!"

Zhou Xing took advantage of the situation and continued: "The Ming Dynasty envoy is wise and brave. If you lead the troops to attack Beihai in person, the bandits will be wiped out and the people of Beihai will be peaceful. Even the people of Donglai will not be able to survive."

We are worried about the bandits returning!"

Yan Jing, who had been sitting next to him, secretly shook his head at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan noticed the signal from his general and understood what he meant.

My current focus is on guarding against Gongsun Zan, and suppressing thieves is only secondary. Moreover, suppressing thieves can only please the people, but may not please his father. Even if he destroys these mobs, he will not be able to show his ability to command troops. If Gongsun Zan takes advantage of him,

If you send troops to seize the plains when you are sending out troops to suppress bandits, you will have made a mistake but failed to achieve anything.

This is doing more harm than good!

Yuan Tan nodded secretly to Yan Jing, then turned to Zhou Xing and said: "I know Xuande is worried about the people, and I am also worried about the people of Beihai! If I lead the troops to attack, the bandits will definitely be destroyed, but Gongsun Zan of Youzhou

I am stationing troops in Yi Jing, I am afraid that he will take advantage of me to send troops to attack the plains. How about... I pay 30,000 shi of grain and let Xuande lead the troops to Beihai to suppress the bandits on my behalf. What do you think?"

"Does Mingshijun want General Liu to use troops across counties and borders?" Zhou Xing asked.

Yuan Tan is now the governor of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei is the prefect of Donglai, so they can be regarded as his subordinates.

If Liu Bei is allowed to lead the troops to defeat the bandits, Yuan Tan can take the credit, and it will be easier for him to take the credit from Yuan Shao. At least he can show that he is good at using people.

"It's okay to use troops across counties and borders."

Yuan Tan's general Yan Jing finally couldn't help but said.

Zhou Xing shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. Mingzhi Jun, this case cannot be made. Today, General Liu crossed the county and crossed the border to send troops into Beihai to suppress the bandits. If the bandits fled to Qi, would General Liu still have to cross the county and cross the border to lead troops?"

Are you going to enter the land of Qi to suppress the bandits? What if the bandits flee to the plains? Moreover, General Liu uses his position as the governor of Donglai to deploy troops in Beihai. I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to use their lives to the best of their ability. By then, the bandits will not be wiped out, but the army will be in chaos."

"The so-called division has a reputation, and the name is correct. If the envoy expressly appoints General Liu as the Prime Minister of Beihai, then it is General Liu's responsibility to send troops to suppress the bandits. The officers and soldiers in the army will also sacrifice their lives to kill the bandits, and the bandits will be easily destroyed. If General Liu

Guarding Beihai, Mingshijun is in the plains, and the bandits will not dare to go west, and will only flee south to Xuzhou. In this way, there will be no more bandits in Qingzhou, and the people will be safe."

"If the people are at peace, the envoy can also feel at ease. Even General Yuan will not worry about Qingzhou and can deal with Gongsun Youzhou with all his strength. Even if the envoy wants to recruit troops and recruit soldiers in the future, it will be much easier. This will achieve multiple benefits with one stone."

thing."

Yuan Tan did not respond immediately, but thought about it carefully.

Zhou Xing is right. If Liu Bei had the name of Beihai Prime Minister, it would be easier to lead troops into Beihai to fight against thieves, and his soldiers would work harder.

If there is no name for using troops across counties and borders, in the future the bandits will flee to Qi State and the plains. At that time, Liu Bei will lead his troops in the name of suppressing bandits!

Also, Liu Bei was good at suppressing bandits. Guan Cheng, the bandit who occupied Zhuangwu County, fled from Changguang, Donglai, to Beihai. If he learned that Liu Bei was leading troops to fight against him, he would have fled to Xuzhou, thus driving the bandits to

Disturbing Xuzhou and preventing Lu Bu from having the energy to capture Qingzhou can be considered beneficial to himself.

If there were no bandits in Qingzhou, the people would be able to settle down and register for citizenship, and it would be easier to recruit soldiers in the future.

Moreover, now that my father has handed over Qingzhou to his management, if he can manage a chaotic state so that there are no bandits and bandits, and the people can live and work in peace, people's hearts are stable, and the grain and grass harvests are abundant, wouldn't that be a better demonstration of his ability!<

/p>

If you can govern a state well now, in the future...

Yuan Tan understood that his father asked him, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to each govern a state in order to test their governance capabilities. Who can inherit his father's business in the future will depend on their governance capabilities at this time.

Among Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, the most chaotic and difficult to govern is Qingzhou, followed by Youzhou.

Jizhou has a father in charge, so it is of course incomparable. However, if you govern Qingzhou better than Jizhou, then in the eyes of your father, you should be more like him and you will be more favored by him.

Although there are certain hidden dangers in letting Liu Bei get Beihai, the fact that Liu Bei is now able to hand over all the seals of Qingzhou Mu, General Zuo and Hou Ping is enough to prove that he has no ambitions and is only thinking about the people of Beihai.

With Liu Bei guarding Beihai, he can also block the enemy from Xuzhou. Liu Bei and Lu Bu are enemies, so they will definitely resist Lu Bu with all their strength. In this way, Qingzhou will have no worries.

Yuan Tan thought for a long time and agreed in his heart that Liu Bei should be appointed as the Prime Minister of Beihai. However, there was still hesitation on his face. He looked at his general Yan Jing and wanted to hear his opinion.

As a general, Yan Jing thought for Yuan Tan's sake and hoped that his lord could lead his troops back to Jizhou instead of going further east, which would only keep him far away from Jizhou and would be of no benefit to his future career.

Moreover, begging for thieves will inevitably lead to losses. It is a destructive but unprofitable thing. It is better to leave it to Liu Bei. Anyway, the land south of the Yellow River is not very important in Yuan Tan's opinion. As long as Liu Bei does not set foot in the peace of Qi and Le'an.

County is enough.

"If Liu Xuande is appointed as Beihai Prime Minister, who will succeed him as Donglai Prefect?"
