The task of winning over Liu Biao was given to Xun Chen.
Xun Youruo has been used as a diplomatic ambassador by Liu Xiang. He is sharp in words, flexible in mind, knowledgeable, and good at strategy. He is very suitable for diplomatic work. He is especially good at persuading others. He is not suitable to be a military advisor.
In the Han Dynasty, the person in charge of diplomacy was Dahonglu and Shangshu Zhugucao, who was responsible for affairs with foreign countries and princes.
However, these two positions were too high, and Xun Chen's temporary achievements were insufficient. Although Liu Xiang had the power to open the government, he could not appoint Jiuqing, so he could only promote Xun Chen as Hongxun Cheng.
After the defense and diplomatic arrangements are completed, the next step is to completely control the three counties of Yanzhou.
The dispatched agricultural envoy went south to handle the matter of dividing the fields.
The supervisory censor went south to investigate the illegal activities of officials.
Xun Yu was ordered to send people to assess the officials in each county and make arrangements for their transfers.
He ordered Guan Yu to concurrently serve as the governor of Yanzhou, selected soldiers from the three counties of Yanzhou, and established a Yanzhou garrison based on 5,000 Jizhou regiment soldiers, with a full strength of 10,000 people.
While the army is still there, the hidden dangers in Yanzhou must be eliminated as soon as possible.
He conquered the border areas to serve as a companion to Youzhou and assisted in the civil affairs of Youzhou.
Bian Rang was now in vain and had to be recruited as an official again. He happened to be transferred to Youzhou to divide the Yanzhou scholars.
Chen Gong remained as the governor of Dongjun.
Zhang Miao remained as the prefect of Chenliu.
It's not good for these two to move now. They have just brought their territory, soldiers and horses to surrender. It would be too hurtful to mobilize them directly unless they are given greater rights.
The prefect of Jiyin fled, and local affairs were temporarily supervised by Guan Yu.
Neither Bian Rang nor Chen Gong expressed any objection to these arrangements.
Liu Xiang thought for a while, and now that Yanzhou scholars have initially recognized him, some talented people in Yanzhou should not refuse his conquest.
As far as I can recall, Man Chong seems to be the only one who has not been taken away by Cao Cao and Yuan Shaohua. At this time, the law was probably too strict and he killed the children of the big family who could not afford to offend him, so he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown.
His family is in Changyi County, Shanyang County, and is now under the rule of Liu Chong. It should be no problem to recruit talents by himself, and there will be no obstacles.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it and sent an emissary to Changyi to recruit Manchu.
Although this man is a cruel official, he is an honest official, good at law and military strategy, and is a great talent.
Yanzhou actually had a lot of talented people. Cao Cao and Yuan Shaozheng recruited some of them, and some of them moved their families south to avoid disaster. Liu Xiang also had a few subordinates.
I can't remember the rest.
However, there is one person who is more doubtful and is not sure whether he was born in Yanzhou.
"Have Wenli and Gongtai heard of Gao Shun's name?"
Although Gao Shun was Lu Bu's general, Liu Xiang remembered that an article examining his origin mentioned that he was a native of Chenliu, Yanzhou. "Taiping Yulan" quoted the "Old Biography of Chen Liuqi" as saying: "Gao Shun,
The courtesy name is filial father, honest and honest Shaohua."
The first appearance of him and the trapped camp was in the Battle of Puyang in Yanzhou in 194, after Chen Gong and Zhang Miao welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Before that, there was no record of him and the trapped camp. Whether Lu Bu was in
Whether Chang'an fought against the Liangzhou generals or relied on Yuan Shao to conquer the Black Mountain Army, there was no sign of Gao Shun and the trapped camp.
If there really was such a powerful army at that time, how could it not be mentioned?
Also, Gao Shun's position was Zhonglang General, which was a very high official position in Lu Bu's army. He was only under Chen Gong and was higher than Zhang Liao, the Cavalry Commander. Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, etc. were all inferior to him in official positions.
However, Lü Bu seized Gao Shun's military power and handed over the captured camp to Wei Xu. During the war, it was handed over to Gao Shun. It is recorded in "Heroes": "Bu knew that he was loyal, but he could not use it. Bu followed Hao Meng and rebelled."
, Later, Shunshun was even more sparse, and since Wei Xu had relatives both inside and outside, he captured Shun's generals and sent them to Xu. When it was time to attack, he ordered Shunshun to lead the troops, and Shun also had no hatred in the end."
This shows that Gao Shun is not a direct descendant of Lu Bu at all, and is probably not from Bingzhou. He took refuge in Yanzhou like Chen Gong.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Bian Rang and Chen Gong if they knew Gao Shun. After all, these two people knew Yanzhou better.
Bian Rang shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
Chen Gong lowered his head and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard of this person's name. He is a branch of the Chenliu Gao family, the Gao family who is related to Yuan Benchu. I seem to have heard Brother Meng Zhuo praise this person.
, the general can send a message asking Zhang Mengzhuo."
Liu Xiang frowned. This news was mixed. Gao Shun might really be from Chenliu in Yanzhou, but his family was related to Yuan Shao by marriage. He didn't know why he didn't join Yuan Shao like the high officials, and whether he was willing to join him.
This was a general who was extremely capable in running the army. If he had not died early, his achievements would not have been so low.
Thinking of this, he said to Bian Rang and Chen Gong: "Wenli and Gongtai have worked hard, please rest first. I will hold a banquet for you two in the evening."
The two of them resigned, and the rest of their subordinates went to deal with government affairs.
The three counties of Yanzhou do not have the ability to resist, so they can be brought under their control step by step. There is no need to discuss it. Now preparations for the westward march are the big things. Food, baggage transportation, personnel deployment, and arrangements for farming in Hedong. There are many things to do. I am busy.
.
After everyone left, Liu Xiang turned to Shi A and said: "Take people south to look for Zhang Miao and inquire about Gao Shun's whereabouts. If he is willing to join our army, let him move his family to Ye County. If he
If you don’t want to, deal with him.”
"Wei." Shi A took a few tiger warriors out of the palace. Finally, most of the tiger warrior soldiers he had trained for many years were able to use them, and they were all good swordsmen.
As for Gao Shun, it is best to recruit him as soon as possible.
Their family is Yuan Shao's in-laws, and they are from the same clan as the high officials. Although they don't know how far they are related, they will become officials sooner or later.
We cannot take it lightly if we are trapped in the camp. This is the most powerful army in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. Even if we know that someone can train such an army, if this person cannot be used by me, he must not be my enemy.
Liu Xiang did not want to use the lives of his soldiers to test the quality of the trapped camp on the battlefield.
If Gao Shun really likes each other, whether she can fully trust him will be discussed later. Even if she can't worry about it, she can just support him for the rest of her life. The competition for talents is also part of the war. He has supported many people, and this one is not missing.
Liu Xiang pondered for a moment in the main hall and then prepared to leave.
The main hall is more than two feet high and can accommodate hundreds of people for discussion. It is no problem to hold a small court meeting. The space is enough. After opening the doors and windows, the ventilation and lighting are good. However, the wind in this season is very hot. Staying in the main hall is not very cool.
.
He wanted to go back to the harem to enjoy the cool air.
Unfortunately, we didn't make it. My father-in-law came, bringing with him a doctor in his thirties who carried a medicine bag.
"Wonderful son-in-law, I would like to introduce you to you. This person is Pengcheng Fan'a, a student of the famous doctor Hua Tuo. He has excellent medical skills and is especially good at acupuncture and health care."
"Meet the General Hussars." Fan Ah Gong bowed his hands respectfully and saluted.
"I have met Divine Doctor Fan." Liu Xiang bowed his hand in return. He knew that Fan A was a famous doctor who had a secret recipe for health and lived for more than a hundred years.
"My dear son-in-law, I have specially asked someone to hire a famous doctor to take care of your health. Come, come, let the doctor take a look at you?"
"Look? What are you looking at? I'm in good health. I'm not sick." Liu Xiang has been practicing swordsmanship and riding and shooting in the past few years. Although he can't compare with those powerful generals, he still has no problem with being strong.
I didn't feel anything uncomfortable.
Fan A's family was in Pengcheng, which was the seat of Yuan Shao's rule. His master Hua Tuo also joined Yuan Benchu and refused his solicitation.
This person cannot be trusted, there is real doubt!
But the father-in-law couldn't resist his kindness, so he could only let Fan A feel his pulse, look at his complexion, tongue coating and so on.
The guards had already checked his belongings, and there were no sharp weapons. Liu Xiang did not believe that he could kill him with his bare hands.
A simple diagnosis is spent on alert.
Fan A frowned slightly and his face became a little solemn.
