"Ziyu has made Jiangdong so miserable. How do you expect Sun Quan not to hold grudges? I'm afraid this Liang Zi will never be able to get rid of him in his lifetime. No matter how much hatred he has for the blue eyes, it is deeper than the sea. In the end, he will just be incompetent and furious."

Zhang Fei ruthlessly stated the reality, and Liu Bei couldn't help but glare at him, and then came to Lantian's rescue: "Although the political alliance is fragile, it cannot be openly torn apart. At least we must stand firm."

Lan Tian smiled and agreed: "Now the world has become a tripartite confrontation. If any one party wants to fight against the other two parties at the same time, there is no absolute chance of winning for the time being. Jiangdong is now at the weakest of the three. It can be used as aid but not as a plan. We don't expect Sun Quan to be able to

To contain Cao Pi, at least it will be enough not to cause trouble during the Northern Expedition, so we still have to do a good job on the surface."

"Well... although Ziyu did not kidnap Yu Fan personally, the battle in Nanye County was under the full command of Lan Boyang. If you and your son did something, I'm afraid Sun Quan will not treat it differently..."

Zhang Fei's words are very clear. No matter which one of Lan Tian and his son did it, Sun Quan will put the account in Lan Tian's name.

Lantian said seriously: "Yide probably doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers. The Lingnan Newspaper explained the matter very clearly. There was a group of bandits entrenched in Luling and around Guiyang. The leader Wang Jin led the bandits to invade Nanye, Ganxian County and other places.

, took the newly appointed county magistrate Yu Fan and his family abducted, and extorted money from the Luling prefect. Jiangdong had no cash to exchange for prisoners of war, so he ignored Yu Fan..."

"Uh... Then Lan Boyang..." Zhang Feixin said, good guy, you are really good at telling lies.

"The Bandit King Jin invaded Guiyang, and Boyang was ordered to lead his army to suppress the bandits. He unexpectedly obtained Yu Fan's family, and brought him back to Guangzhou for resettlement. I did not force him to become an official. It was Yu Zhongxiang who took the initiative to apply for a job at Guangzhou Academy." Lan Tian

Smile lightly.

Zhang Fei's eyes were as wide as a bull's eye. You are the best at confusing right and wrong. He shook his head and asked: "What about the bandit Wang Jin? He didn't fall into Jiang Dong's hands, right? Otherwise, the matter would not be clear."

"This wolf is very cunning. When Boyang was suppressing bandits, he left his baggage and fled into the mountains. There has been no news to this day."

"It's...what a coincidence..."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel bitter for Sun Quan. Do you know what kind of opponent you have provoked?

Next to him, Lai Gong knew Lantian deeply. A bandit as cunning as Wang Jin could not be caught easily. He might go to Luling to seek revenge another day.

"Being promoted as a talented person shows that Yu Fan has extraordinary talents and learning. However, he has a lot of unconventional nature and likes to fight against Yan's advice. Ziyu appoints him as the chief of the rites. He may be looking for trouble in the future." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

"Gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are alike but not harmonious. It is the time to employ people in Jiaozhou. Yu Zhongxiang has rich experience in governance, is good at using a spear, is proficient in the "Book of Changes" and has medical skills. He can be said to be a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Why should we

Sun Quan’s likes and dislikes, why did he miss such a talent?”

"Ziyu appoints people on their merits, which makes Gu admire him endlessly..."

"Jiaozhou is located in a remote rural area, and its reputation as a smog and barbaric country spreads far and wide. Talented people all over the world avoid it. I am also a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice. The principals of the newly established Liucao Yamen are basically other Yamen.

I am in charge concurrently, and I am about to recover Rinan County, and the number of available people in Jiaozhou will be reduced. Can your Majesty allocate some to me from Shu?" Lantian complained to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was startled when he heard this and asked in confusion: "I wonder who Ziyu wants?"

"I think Fei Gongju (Fei Shi), the former Sima of Yizhou, is quite talented. I wonder if the king is willing to give up his love?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Zhang Fei and Lai Gong were very surprised when they heard this. Both of them were Liu Bei's trusted ministers. They both knew that Fei Shi's direct advice a few days ago had made Liu Bei dissatisfied, because Fei Shi had shown strong opinions on the issue of proclaiming himself emperor.

be opposed to.

Now that he has reached a consensus with his ministers on delaying the proclaimed emperor, Liu Beizheng doesn't know what to do with Fei Shi. If he rashly transfers or demotes Fei Shi, he will easily be said to be narrow-minded by the outside world, but if he stays around, he will feel like an eyesore.

On the surface, Lan Tian was looking for people in Jiaozhou, but in fact, he was helping Liu Bei solve his problems. Zhang Fei and Lai Gongxin said that they deserved it. Ziyu made the King of Hanzhong like him. What lord wouldn't love such a minister?

Zhang Fei just nodded in shock, but Lai Gong secretly wrote down this trick, thinking that it might be useful in the future. Wouldn't it be more effective than flattering the horse and saying a few nice words?

"Since it is Ziyu who has spoken, of course I will help you and Jiaozhou. Tomorrow I will let the prime minister make the arrangements and let Gongju (Fei Shi) return with Ziyu on the same boat." Liu Bei did not let down Lantian's wishes, and then he agreed.

.

"That's very good. In addition, has the Xiahou Prefect written to you? In recent months, I have asked him to concurrently serve as the head of the prison. His health seems to be a little overwhelmed. It should be because he is busy with official duties and travels a lot."

Lan Tian then moved the topic to Xia Houqi, who had been to Jiaozhou for several years at the same time as Yuan Wei and Lan Tian. I wonder if Liu Bei would miss the old friendship and transfer the two old ministers back to Yizhou to "enjoy the blessings".

Liu Bei was very surprised when he heard that these two people often wrote to him, but they did not express dissatisfaction or request to be transferred to Yizhou.

Why did Lan Tian suddenly say this? Could it be that Xia Houqi was being disrespectful?

"Ziyu, what do you mean? Xiahou Qi is disobedient?" Liu Bei frowned.

Lan Tian shook his head, "No, the Xiahou Prefect was tired from holding many positions. He came to me to tell me that he was done complaining, so he asked Xu Shuang to take over the post of head of the criminal cao, and he was thinking of reporting it to the king."

"Ziyu, you are the shepherd of Jiaozhou. You can make the full decision on matters in Jiaozhou. No matter whether it is Xiahou Qi, Yuan Wei, or Fei Shi who is about to take office, there is no need to ask me for instructions." Liu Bei expressed his absolute trust in Lantian.

"The governance of Cangwu and Yulin is stable, and the two governors appointed by the king are doing their jobs well. Let them remain as they are without any changes. I will slowly look for talents for the vacancies in the Liucao Yamen..."

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded lightly. He once wrote to Xia Houqi and Yuan Wei, asking them how they felt about serving as officials in Jiaozhou, and also politely suggested that he could send someone to replace them, but they both agreed that they would stay in Jiaozhou to serve as officials.

official.

Maybe it’s because they’ve adapted to the management style of Lantian, or maybe it’s because the family has adapted to the climate in Lingnan. The main reason is that the officialdom in Jiaozhou is relatively simple. Everyone is a foreigner, so there’s no need to distinguish between relatives, and there won’t be intrigues in the officialdom.

In Jingzhou, they would be suppressed by Guan Yu and the Jingzhou gentry, and in Yizhou, they would be involved in secret fights between several factions. On the contrary, Xiahou Qi and Yuan Wei felt that Jiaozhou was a paradise.

Lan Tian asked Liu Bei to leave Fei Shi, not just to help him out of the siege, but the main reason was actually to ask for directions and find a way of hope for the local gentry in Yizhou.

Compared with the Yizhou gentry in Yizhou and the Jingzhou sect, Yuancong sect, and Dongzhou sect, Jiaozhou can be regarded as a good place to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.
