Liu Zhang stepped forward and patted Sun Qian on the shoulder, giving him a look of trust.
"Brother Gongyou is definitely more than just a talent in this county, I have no doubt about it!"
"Bajun is of great importance to Yizhou and our entire power, so I must hand over the position of governor of Bajun to my own people!"
"Now my brother has seen our situation. The meeting hall that used to be crowded now has only a handful of people. Even Dian Wei is not with me! Aren't you willing to share my worries?"
"Looking at the entire state pastoral office, apart from Brother Gongyou, is there anyone else who I can truly trust without reservation?"
Liu Zhang's tap on Sun Qian's shoulder seemed to hit his soul directly, making Sun Qian couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Lord..."
Apart from excitement, all that was left in Sun Qian's heart was shock.
Today, Sun Qian finally felt the meaning of the saying "A scholar will die for his bosom friend".
It turns out that Liu Zhang did not think that his talents were not good, but regarded him as the person he trusted the most and would give him the most critical position!
"My lord has been so kind to you, but Sun Qian can't repay it because he's so devastated!"
Just as Sun Qian was about to kneel down, Liu Zhang grabbed him and dragged him up again.
"Gongyou followed me when I was young, which is enough to show my brother's sincerity! In my brother's hands, Bajun will definitely be safe and develop steadily!"
Sun Qian's reaction was beyond Liu Zhang's imagination, and he no longer had any doubts about handing over Ba County to Sun Qian.
Sun Qian burst into tears of gratitude at this moment. He could let anyone down, and I believe he would never let Liu Zhang down.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to ensure the stability of Ba County and guard the east gate of Yizhou for my lord!"
"Okay! Sun Qian listens to the order!"
Sun Qian took a step back and knelt down to wait for Liu Zhang's formal appointment.
"You are now promoted to the governor of Bajun. Please take up the post as soon as possible!"
"I obey!"
Liu Zhang believed that after such a long period of training, Sun Qian would never bear the title of white-faced scholar again.
"Brother Gongyou, after you arrive in Jiangzhou, you can ask Gongda for advice on various matters, especially how to deal with foreign races!"
"Our policy is to assimilate all the barbarians in Yizhou counties, which also includes the barbarians in Bajun."
Sun Qian nodded heavily and remembered every word of Liu Zhang's words in his heart.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will ask your military advisor for advice next time and protect the land of Ba County for your lord."
"Okay! Brother Gongyou, pack things up as soon as possible!"
"I obey!"
Sun Qian didn't say anything more. He was going to prepare everything in the shortest possible time and then set off for Jiangzhou.
After settling down the post of governor of Bajun, Liu Zhang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After Xun You returned to Chengdu, he could share a large part of the affairs, whether it was the recruitment of talents, the establishment of the chamber of commerce, or the next step of planning, etc., Liu Zhang had another candidate with whom he could discuss.
"My lord, don't worry, Gongyou will definitely be able to live up to my lord's trust!"
Liu Zhang turned to look at Jia Xu, smiled and nodded. He thought the same, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu would think so highly of Sun Qian!
"Wen He seems to value Sun Qian very much!"
Jia Xu looked at Sun Qian's leaving figure with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, Sun Qian has unique insights into the management of prefectures and counties. I believe that after gaining experience as the governor of Bajun, he will definitely be able to take on greater responsibilities in the future!"
From what Jia Xu means, it seems that Sun Qian's expectation is that he may be able to serve as the governor of the state!
However, Liu Zhang did not follow the entire sentence, but instead frowned slightly.
"Wen He, last year Cao Cao was betrayed by his friends Zhang Miao and Chen Gong. Yanzhou's eight counties and eighty counties were barely saved at the most critical time! Cao Cao made a mistake and almost lost the entire Yanzhou. Isn't it worth waking us up? "
Jia Xu gave Liu Zhang a thoughtful look,
"It turns out that my lord has already understood everything! Could it be that my lord has anticipated Cao Cao's ending?"
Liu Zhang turned to Jia Xu and smiled. As a time traveler, of course he knew all the reasons for this.
"Cao Cao was welcomed into Yanzhou by Zhang Miao and others, and relied on the Yanzhou people to capture and surrender the Yellow Turban Millions. In the end, the Yanzhou people came and promoted him to the position of Yanzhou Shepherd. But how did he treat the Yanzhou people?"
"He appointed Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu from the Yingchuan faction, and appointed Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong from the Qiaojun faction, and handed over all the military and political affairs of Yanzhou to the Yuzhou faction, but he ignored the Yanzhou faction to which he was a great benefactor! Mo It is said that Cao Cao has no foundation. Even if he has some foundation, how can the people of Yanzhou not rebel against him?"
Cao Cao's behavior was completely treacherous. He failed to live up to the expectations of the people of Yanzhou. Therefore, even without Lu Bu's presence, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong would welcome other princes into Yanzhou to eliminate Cao Cao's rule.
However, I have to admire Cao Cao for waking up early, promoting Cheng Yu of the Yanzhou family in time, and instigating the relationship between Lu Bu and the Li family of the Yanzhou family, so that irreparable consequences were not caused.
"Wenhe, is there anything unusual happening in the Yizhou family?"
Liu Zhang just asked casually. He believed that the Yizhou family was all under Jia Xu's control.
"Don't worry, my lord, Cao Cao will be warned this time! But since the good news about Hanzhong and Yufu came, the family has obviously become more honest..."
Hearing what Jia Xu meant, the family did make some small moves. However, Jia Xu did not report it in the end, indicating that the problem was not a big one, and Liu Zhang was not willing to pursue these small matters.
"I heard that Cao Cao regained Yanzhou at the end of last year, but the process was as difficult as our unification of Yizhou!"
Jia Xu also raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, but this smile was not a bitter smile.
"My lord, didn't Cao Cao compromise in the end? If he can compromise this time, he can compromise countless times. In the end, he will suffer the consequences of today's compromise!"
"But we are different. We unified Yizhou without any compromise. On the contrary, we relied entirely on the bravery of the soldiers. And the aristocratic families in Yizhou also know that even if they unite, they are still no match for us."
"Yanzhou can recruit Lu Bu as foreign aid, but what about Yizhou? They don't! What about Ma Teng and Han Sui? What about Liu Biao in Jingzhou? They are all frustrated by us, and even talk about Yizhou! In the end, the Yizhou family can only rely on us. , and cannot become a constraint for us!”
Liu Zhang's vicious eyes towards Jia Xu can only be described as admiration.
In this era, there are absolutely very few people who can see the situation between the forces and within the forces so clearly.
Cao Cao, a great hero of the generation! Unfortunately, in the end, the whole family will succeed and the whole family will fail!
If the people of Yanzhou rebel against him today, he will compromise with the people of Yanzhou. If the people of Yanzhou rebel against him in the future, he will compromise with the people of Yanzhou.
Compromise after compromise, Cao Cao will eventually be forced to a dead end!
Maybe retribution won't be Cao Cao's turn, but his descendants will eventually pay for the consequences of his compromise!
For example, Sima Yi!
But these are all things for later. Perhaps because of Liu Zhang’s sudden rise, Cao Cao didn’t have the chance to pass on his power to the next generation...
