"Military advisor, I'm thinking..." Ma Su hesitated a little.
Zhuge Liang held Ma Su's arm and asked him to sit on the table beside him: "Or, as I saw in my childhood, can these two thousand stones in Jiaozhou be arranged appropriately?"
Ma Su heard it, and Zhuge Liang asked with ease, but he really wanted to give a few points.
Since entering the officialdom, Ma Su has always been at the center and participated in the confidentiality. All those who interacted with him were handsome Jing Chu. He often felt that his talents and vision were far superior to many mediocre people, but he respected and admired Zhuge Liang more and more. So Zhuge Liang suddenly asked a question, and Ma Su was suddenly nervous.
He took a deep breath, quickly sorted out his thoughts through the gap in his inhalation, and then spoke: "Xu Zhi is both talented and civil and military, and is able to govern and know the power of change, so he can convince the barbarian Koubin. Xu Zhi recommended these two thousand stones after careful consideration. Each of them can play a role in the county and country where they are located."
"It's not all recommended by Xu Zhi..." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Youchang, please tell me carefully."
"Then...if you make a mistake, please forgive me."
Zhuge Liang pointed at him with the handle of the fan: "Haha, you are thinking too much. Why not talk about it quickly."
"There are many barbarians in the land, and they will fight to the end, or re-translation, and they will be accompanied by mountains and seas. In and outside the border, there are many types of barbarians, and they will rely on each other and will not be in danger. Since the former Han Dynasty, many local enemies have committed rebellion and attacked counties. This is indeed the so-called Gao Yao's career as a soldier, with five punishments and a place where two thousand stones are used."
Ma Su casually whispered a few words and leaned forward: "Jiazhou, where the Han people are more concentrated are the three counties of Nanhai, Cangwu and Yulin. Among them, Cangwu County is the head of Jiaozhou, while Nanhai County and Yulin County are the left and right arm of Jiaozhou. As the left general, he led the powerful troops to station in Cangwu and became the prefect of Cangwu, so Cangwu was enough to calm Jiaozhou. Zheng'ang, Zhengshu, served as a local prefecture for a long time, was old for political affairs, and was steady and meticulous. He was in the South China Sea, which was enough to ensure the smooth connection between Nanhai and Cangwu, and also to maintain the stability of Nanhai County and the four counties belonging to Jiangdong in the east. As for Deng Bomiao, he had all the deeds of pacifying the barbarians in Brazil and Pi County. With his in Yulin County, he was enough to drive away the influence of Qu Jing and others and make the imperial decrees reach all places."
"These three were originally appointed by the Hanzhong Palace, how many others?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Ma Su cheered up and continued: "The other appointments can be seen more in the pursuit of sustaining his intentions."
He reached out and pointed at the map: "Military advisor, please see, south of the three counties of Nanhai, Cangwu and Yulin, first of all, Hepu. Although there are few household registrations here, there is a long coast, which is the only way for maritime trade. It borders Jiaozhi in the west and is across the sea from Zhuya in the south. It can be called the barrier of the three counties of Nanhai, Cangwu and Yulin. However, in the west of Hepu County, there are also famous Gaoliang thieves, who have been in trouble for more than ten years. Therefore, Xu divided Hepu County into two parts, with Guo Jing as the prefect of Hepu and Yi Liao as the prefect of Gaoliang. Guo Jing was a capable general under Xuzhi's subordinates. He led troops to station in Hepu to intimidate Jiaozhi; and Yi Liao... This person was originally one of the sources of Gaoliang thieves, and asked him to be Gaoliang prefect, as if driving a tiger and swallowing a wolf."
Zhuge Liang nodded: "I said it very well."
After receiving the praise from Zhuge Liang, Ma Su's heart beat faster. He said, "Look at this place again. This Linchen County was originally controlled by the so-called Southern Yi Six Divisions that depended on Linyi. Now it continues to use Qian Bo, who defeated the Southern Yi Six Divisions, as the prefect of Linchen. In order to ensure his position, Qian Bo must rely on the court to suppress the influence of the barbarian tribes within the Linchen County, and eliminate the remaining members of the Southern Yi Six Divisions. This is not enough..."
Ma Su focused on the location of Jiaozhi County on the map: "Jiaozhi County was originally a stronghold that Shi Xie had been operating for many years. Last year, Shi Xie was attacked by Jiangdong people and died, and his core was taken away by the Haoyou of Jiaozhi. Now Shi Xie's second son Shi Zhi served as the prefect of Jiaozhi, and he must try his best to claim Zhang Shi's remaining power and attack the local area. In this process, he could only rely on the imperial court. In this way, from Jiaozhi to the south, there would be no more powerful barbarian forces."
"There are also two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan..." Ma Su sneered softly: "The Suinan General Qu Jing betrayed his former master several times. He is a man with wolfish ambitions. But he betrayed the Qu family and wanted to integrate the Qu family's old place. In this process, he was afraid that he would not kill someone and blood would flow into a river?"
"In other words, the prefects of the five counties, Gaoliang, Linchen, Jiaozhi, Rinan, and Jiuzhen, each have their own advantages and weaknesses, each with their own desires, and there are conflicts between them. In order to stabilize their respective status, they have to rely on the court and be loyal to the court. The more they are involved in the affairs of the county, the more time they give the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu to develop with peace of mind."
Ma Su made his own judgment in one breath, looked up at Zhuge Liang's expression, and asserted: "From this point, Xu Zhi's arrangement in Jiaozhou is truly unlimited and has no flaws."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Xu Zhizhen is in Jiaozhou and faces the actual situation directly in the local area. The people he recommends must take into account the influence and role of all parties, and the most favorable choice for stabilizing Jiaozhou. After all, the world is people-oriented. With the suitable two thousand stones, the next promotion of military and political affairs in Jiaozhou will be easier."
"yes."
Zhuge Liang immediately said: "As for those that young people often worry about..."
Ma Su hurriedly said, "Military advisor, actually I..."
"It's okay, don't mind." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said gently: "What I often worry about in my youth should be Qu Jing, Yi Liao, Qian Bo and even Shi Zhi are all powerful. They have their own strength and local appeal. Coupled with the influence of the imperial court, if time goes by, there may be a risk of losing the tail, and there is even more danger of giving people a handle. Right?"
Sweat on Ma Su's forehead came out again.
What he doubted was exactly these, and it was not just these. But when he saw Zhuge Liang's expression, he understood that Zhuge Liang was all in his heart.
"What are the military advisors' opinions on this?"
"A few days before I was young, I should have studied Shen Han's school?"
Emperor Xuan once said that the Han family had its own system, and it was originally mixed with overlords and lords. It can be seen that the Han system is a Confucian and the law, which is a public opinion. Young officials like Ma Su who followed Zhuge Liang were often asked to read Shen Han's books to enrich their cultivation.
"yes."
"Then you should remember, Han Feizi said, "The so-called wise ruler can steal his ministers." Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Let the wise be happy to offer his plans, the brave behave as best as possible, the greedy ones decide to take advantage of their benefits, and the foolish ones do not avoid death, and he can be the master of the world. The master of the world will naturally be respected and loyal."
This is very clear. Ma Su bowed deeply: "Yes. I'm worried too much."
"With Xuzhi's mind and talent, you can handle the matters in Jiaozhou as long as possible." Zhuge Liang stood up with the document, patted Ma Su on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Xuzhi is certainly a hero, and young Chang also has outstanding talents. Sooner or later you will become a local official and even take on greater responsibilities. Therefore, it is a good thing to think more now."
Ma Su's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, I understand!"
Zhuge Liang got up and walked a few steps, stood at the door and turned around and said, "Youchang, come with me."
Ma Su quickly jumped up: "Where is the military advisor going?"
"I have to report to the King of Hanzhong immediately for quelling such a major event in Jiaozhou. You and me."
"Abide by the order!"
When Zhuge Liang wanted to meet the King of Hanzhong, he naturally did not have to go out and walk around from the main entrance of his official temple. On the east side of this courtyard, there was a special corridor connecting the hall where the King of Hanzhong usually managed the government. At that moment, Zhuge Liang and Ma Su walked along the corridor one by one and one behind.
Not long after walking, I saw Pang Tong come back hurriedly with several subordinates holding files. It was obvious that he had just met the King of Hanzhong.
Pang Tong smiled from a distance and said, "Kong Ming looked happy, I think there is something good."
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both military advisors and generals, and they are both in charge of the center. Although they have their own emphasis, there are inevitably many overlaps in daily military and political affairs. Therefore, Zhuge Liang did not hide it from him and replied bluntly: "The above statement said that Jiaozhou has been completely pacified."
"Hehe, it's not slow."
Pang Tong took the document honestly and unceremoniously, took a few glances, and blew it.
"What are the suggestions for Shi Yuan?"
"The prefects appointed by Xuzhi are very interesting and important." Pang Tong thought for a while and said easily: "The officials of this dynasty were eliminated for the first time, and it was true that they tried to keep one year old. After these people were tried to keep the year old, they might as well invite them to Chengdu, and the King of Hanzhong praised them in person and held a ceremony of true and honest teaching."
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Good idea! I will report to King Hanzhong in a while and reply to Xuzhi."
Pang Tong didn't care and bowed, "Kong Ming, I have other official duties, so I'll say goodbye."
Two groups of people crossed the corridor.
After walking a few steps, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You Chang, how about you?"
Chapter completed!
