Chu's staff laughed and said: "Master Shijun, you are the father-in-law of our state. You patrol Yizhou and County on behalf of the emperor. You are the most prominent person in Liangzhou. My small praise is not an exaggeration! You can do it twice."

I see that Sir, I am truly blessed for three lifetimes!"

Zeng Yu had no choice but to deal with this old man, so he waved his hand and said: "Brother Chu, it is useless to talk about these unnutritious words! Why not say something practical so that everyone can benefit from it! That is the real benefit! Then

That’s the real joy!”

The Chu aide took a break from flattering him and said: "Master Shijun, you are the orthodox state pastor conferred by His Majesty the Emperor, and all the counties in Liangzhou are under your jurisdiction. Our masters Su Ze and Zhang Liao

The common intention is that they intend to obey the decree of the envoy, and specially ordered me to come down to discuss the details with the envoy."

"Oh?" Zeng Yu squinted his eyes and looked directly at Chu's staff, and said: "Since that's what you two adults mean, that's great! It's also an honor for Zeng Yu to be able to work with two famous adults under the imperial decree.

! But what’s the problem with this detail?”

The Chu staff calmly looked at Zeng Yu, flashed a sly gaze, and said: "Master Shijun, you know that although our Jiuquan County is under your rule, because of the presence of Master Zhang Liao, we

We have to obey the orders of Lord Lu Bu of Bingzhou everywhere. This is very difficult for my family who is caught between the two Lords of Zhou Mu. Therefore, fate is

Come down and discuss with Mr. Shijun. We can follow Mr. Shijun's arrangements in terms of military affairs without harming the interests of the two states. However, since there are many things involved in personnel matters, I hope you will give us Jiuquan County some time.

, let us develop independently for a period of time first, and then we can make calculations after the Bingzhou forces have retreated. What do you think?"

What a Su Ze! So you are pulling the banners of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao here to demand the power to command troops and personnel autonomy? A flash of displeasure flashed in Zeng Yu's heart. These matters are within the jurisdiction of the state pastor! Especially the command of the army

Military duties, such as border guard generals, etc., were arranged by the state pastor and reported to the court before taking office.

Yes, this is Liangzhou in troubled times. The state pastor has not been in office for a long time, and many matters are decided by the county governors themselves. However, the current situation is no better than in the past! The huge state pastor is sitting opposite the Chu staff, and this guy

Do you still dare to speak out nonsense?

I thought Su Ze was more sensible, but he still clung to power! Zeng Yu said solemnly: "Su Shijun still wants to rule in Liangzhou by carving out territory? But you know, Ma Ai, Yang Kui,

The three masters of Qu Yan have already put their hands on the peace, and the two counties of Wuwei have been handed over to my master for unified planning! All counties in Liangzhou will return to the control of the imperial court. This is the general trend! Could it be that Su Shijun feels that it is too late for me to take up the post of state pastor?

Not competent enough?"

When Chu's staff saw Zeng Yu speaking with such a serious face, he couldn't help but sweat profusely. This Zeng Yu was much more powerful than before. He was so powerful without being angry! Sitting opposite him, he felt a pressure rushing towards his face.

Even Yang Kui and Qu Yan couldn't stand the pressure in front of Zeng Yu. The Chu staff were not even famous generals, so how could they stand it?

There are twelve states in the world, and one of the prefects is already considered one of the most important people in the world! Zeng Yu’s status has been drastically changed from a county magistrate to a prefecture, and his majesty and coercion are no longer comparable to those of unknown people like Chu’s staff.

Can bear it.

At this moment, the initial harmony between the two suddenly separated into a clear gap!

Staff Chu muttered in his heart for a while, and when he woke up, he was already sweating profusely.

He was horrified in his heart and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Sir, it is clear that our Lord Su has no such intention. When you first took office, we, Sir, openly supported your enthronement of the position of Prefectural Shepherd. Sir, our Lord, has always been

The loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty have absolutely no two intentions! It’s just that a few days ago, the allied forces resisting Ma Ai had no choice.

No, for the sake of self-protection, it is easy to lure in soldiers from Bingzhou, but it is difficult to send them away! With Zhang Liao by your side, our family is unable to do anything, so I asked you to discuss things with your Majesty Shijun and try to find an accommodation.

In time, after the people from Huanhuan and Bingzhou are sent away, your Majesty's decree will definitely be the main one!"

Zeng Yu sneered and said: "Zhang Liao is from Bingzhou! How dare he stay in my Liangzhou County for a long time! In the near future, I will write to the court to impeach Lu Bu for his wanton behavior!"

Chu's staff raised his head and glanced at Zeng Yu. He saw that Zeng Yu had an angry look on his face and was timid in his heart. He thought about something and plucked up the courage to say: "I'm here, Zhang Liao also has something to say..."

Zeng Yu raised his eyebrows. Zhang Liao wanted to discuss with him in private last time in Chengji, but the Chu staff was very careful and the negotiation failed. But what message was entrusted to this person this time?

Before Zeng Yu could speak, the Chu staff spoke up: "Sir Wen Yuan asked the envoy, do you remember the friendship that Fengxian Gong sent to Chengji to help you a few years ago?"

...Good on you, Zhang Liao! The corners of Zeng Yu's mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of a sneer! A few years ago, the two strangers sent by Lu Bu did indeed present a drawing of the trap, which brought some benefits to Hu Ce Mansion!

This time, Zhang Liao actually plans to use this old transaction as a favor?

In fact, it doesn’t matter! The mountains and rivers in Jiuquan County are high and the general Zhang Liao is in charge! If you really want to argue, it is very tricky, especially Su Ze is very popular in Jiuquan County, so it is impossible to deal with it rashly. You can see Ma Ai’s two expeditions.

Losing troops and losing generals. It can be seen from this that Zeng Yu's pretense of power was also to intimidate the envoy and gain a psychological advantage!

Judging from the panicked expression on the Chu staff and the unscrupulous expression of Zhang Liao's favor, it can be seen that his goal has been achieved!

Next, even if you accept this favor, you can still squeeze more benefits from this person!

The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit!

Of course, if Zeng Yu could repay this favor, he would have to get more benefits! He pretended to be thoughtful. After a long time, under the nervous gaze of the Chu staff, his eyes lit up, and then he sighed: "But there is such a thing

!It was just many years ago, so what? Lord Wen Yuan, is this a way of repaying a favor?"

This meaning is very ironic. To put it bluntly, it changes from friendship to transaction! The meaning is completely different!

Staff Chu shrugged and cursed himself for turning a good thing into this! How could he explain to Su Ze and Zhang Liao when he went back?

He grimaced, wondering: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are the shepherd of our Liangzhou state. How dare we ask for repayment for your kindness? I just ask you, Your Majesty, to give my family some time until the Bingzhou soldiers leave."

, it is definitely up to you, the envoy, to arrange political affairs!"

Zeng Yu nodded and said: "If you receive a drop of kindness, you will repay it with a spring! Since Zhang Liao can come up with the kindness he received from previous years, if I don't agree to this request, it would be too unkind!"

As soon as this statement came out, Chu's staff was overjoyed, it was done! This was a major event that Su Ze and Zhang Liao had repeatedly urged, and it was something that he had to accomplish when he came to Guzang to meet Zeng Yu!

If this thing can be done, the Chu family in Jiuquan County will be able to move up a level! He doesn't care whether Zhang Liao's favor is used wisely or not!

You must know that Zhou Mu is the first person in charge of the military and political power in Liangzhou. As long as he is dissatisfied with Su Ze's actions, he can directly report to the court to remove Su Ze from the position of county governor! His attitude is related to Su Ze's position as county governor!

There was no state pastor before, so Su Ze could dominate Jiuquan County with one hand, but now he has a mountain in name only!

Being able to solve this matter, he suddenly felt that the pressure surrounding him had dissipated, and he felt more energetic!

He got down from his seat, bowed with his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you understand the righteousness well. This is really a blessing for my fellow Liangzhou folks!"

Zeng Yu waved his hand and said: "I can understand the Bingzhou wolf riding into Jiuquan. Ma Ai encouraged the coalition forces to go to Jiuquan. This is a life and death plan! It is inevitable that Su Shijun will be looking for life-saving straw! But in the future, this must not be done.

Yes! You can come to me to discuss any matter in Liangzhou!"

In the blink of an eye, Zeng Yu's kindness and knowledge of personnel made Chu's staff full of joy. The previous difficulties were swept away. He nodded like garlic and smiled from ear to ear: "Your Majesty, what you said is extremely important.

yes!"

Zeng Yu waved his hand and said: "I have solved this problem for you! But, Su Ze also has to solve some of the government affairs here for me, right? Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to the emperor!"

Staff Chu also knew what he meant by going back and forth, and it was impossible for Zeng Yu to just give up his power to Su Ze without making any demands!

"Haha!" Staff Chu smiled easily and said: "Your Majesty, what are your orders? If you can do it, I will do it for you! If you can't make the decision, I will definitely ask my lord to be your envoy.

Done.”

"First, the state cannot interfere in the area of ​​taxation. It must be handed over to the state and city for unified management!" Zeng Yu said with bright eyes, "Finance is the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Empire! This point cannot be relaxed! As we all know, Feng Yu

My late father is a man of his own, if the financial power falls into the hands of Bingzhou, it is conceivable that it will cause great harm to the court!"

Finance and taxation are related to the lifeblood of a county! I thought Zeng Yu was starting to be easy to talk to! But I didn’t expect that after a while, his true nature was revealed again! This is really more ruthless than Lu Bu! Lu Bu was just a ding in Jiuquan County

!Without taxes, what would the wealthy families in the county eat?

The Chu staff wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, Jiuquan County has a vast territory and a small population. Taxes have to be used for the development of the county! At most, 30% can only be handed over. I can guarantee that this tax will never be used."

It will be delivered into the hands of the people of Bingzhou!"

Zeng Yu did not talk nonsense on this issue. He added: "In terms of taxes, you have a reason! What about the population? A rich country needs a strong army! You have soldiers who have repeatedly launched sword fights in Liangzhou, and there must be some.

Let the young and strong men be handed over to Zhoucheng for unified training, right?"

In the final analysis, Chu's staff was just a staff member, and taxes and personnel were related to important matters in the county. He was in a very difficult position! However, Zeng Yu had already made concessions before, and he still wanted to bargain in this regard. He was obviously pushing the envelope...

Chu Staff Haha

He smiled and said: "Your Excellency Shijun, you are the father-in-law of our state. You patrol Yizhou and County on behalf of the emperor. You are the most prominent person in Liangzhou. My small praise is not an exaggeration! I can see you twice."

Sir, I am truly blessed for three lifetimes!"

Zeng Yu had no choice but to deal with this old man, so he waved his hand and said: "Brother Chu, it is useless to talk about these unnutritious words! Why not say something practical so that everyone can benefit from it! That is the real benefit! Then
