When Liu Bang said these words, Deng Yulong naturally wanted to react, he gave Liu Bang a courtesy to the monarch and ministers, and said: "King Xie, the ministers should be the liver and brain, and serve you as a dog and horse." ”

Liu Bang helped him up with both hands and said: "Such a great talent, Xiang Yu has no eyes and no beads, and he discarded it, he is really a super fool."

Xiao He said with a smile: "General Deng has pointed out many shortcomings of Xiang Yu, he is not a good Bole, and it is the wisest move of Maxima to defect to the King of Han, you are a good Bole." ”

Liu Bang smiled again and asked Deng Yulong curiously: "General Deng, at the Hongmen banquet, if you were Xiang Yu, what would you do?" ”

Deng Yulong said: "If the minister is Xiang Yu, of course he will get rid of the King of Han and Zhang Zifang, if there is no King of Han, he can naturally sit back and relax, even if there are other princes and kings who dare to rebel, it is just a mantis arm as a car, not self-sufficient." ”

He also wanted to say that if I were Xiang Yu, I would take advantage of the fact that all the princes were in Guanzhong, get rid of them in one pot and become the emperor myself. But you can't say that, or you'll think you're ambitious.

After Liu Bang and Xiao He heard this, they both laughed.

Immediately, Xiao He said: "King Han, after the infantry army arrives in Nanzheng, it is time to appoint a general." ”

When Hanzhong first met Deng Yulong, it was naturally impossible to immediately decide to make him a general, and after more than half a month of assessment and testing, he thought that King Han should be able to think clearly.

Liu Bang nodded and said, "Yes!" The prime minister said that in order to defeat Xiang Yu, there must be military wizards to lead the three armies. ”

Xiao He asked again: "King Han, who else do you think can compare to General Deng?" ”

Liu Bang replied: "Prime Minister, you told me that there is no second genius like General Deng, and I think so I do." ”

The two talked twice Liu Bang said exactly what Xiao He had told him alone before, and now he deliberately said it so that he wanted to make Deng Yulong more grateful to Xiao He, and he knew that Xiao He was absolutely loyal to him.

Xiao He said again: "King Han, the general candidate can be decided, right?" ”

Liu Bang looked at Deng Yulong again, and said, "Deng Xing, the widow has decided to canonize you as a general." After the infantry army arrived in Nanzheng, the site was selected to build the mandala, and the widow wanted to hold a grand canonization ceremony. ”

Until last night, he had not finally made up his mind to let the newcomer Deng Xing serve as the general. It was not until today that Deng Yulong said the blueprint for the development of the military, which finally prompted him to make a final decision.

"King Xie Han!"

Deng Yulong pretended to be sincerely frightened, knelt down and buckled his head three times.

Liu Bang helped him up again and said, "General Deng, work hard in the future." ”

"I won't let you down!"

At this time, Deng Yulong's expression was excited, this is true, the monarch verbally promised to make you the CEO, and he was of course very happy to fight for his career.

Liu Bang said: "After the army arrives in Nanzheng, it is time to have the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. Prime Minister, you choose a good place first, you can move into the mansion first, hang a plaque in the General's Mansion first, and officially move in after going to the altar to worship the general. ”

On the side of the gate of the county office, Guan Ying, Lu Xuan, and Xiahou Ying were chatting.

Xiahou Ying often followed Liu Bang's side, and told the two how Liu Bang treated Deng Yulong well when he was in the county office.

Lu Juan said: "Didn't Jing Bo (Cao Shen's character) say it, it must be that Deng Xing is good at flattery and won the favor of the King of Han." ”

Guan Ying said: "Didn't he come up with the idea of burning the plank road? It's not entirely incompetent, either. ”

Lu Juan said: "Hey! If you don't have a catty or two, you will only flatter, unless you are a fool who will ignore him, what you are most afraid of is this kind of person who has a little catty and knows how to flatter. ”

Xiahou Ying said: "Don't care about him so much, anyway, we haven't lost a penny." "He's not too jealous, he's not too concerned about that.

Lu Juan said: "Hmph! If I knew that he dared to speak ill of us in front of King Han, I would definitely make him look good. ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword halfway and re-sheathed it.

Regarding Liu Bang's favor to Deng Yulong, among the many generals, Lu Juan and Fan Xu have the greatest opinions.

In the county study, Deng Yulong, Liu Bang, and Xiao He said that it was half a day.

At noon, the three of them had lunch together, not at a small table for each monarch and minister, but at a shared table.

After eating enough, Liu Bang said: "There are prime ministers in political affairs, and generals in military affairs, and the widows are worry-free." He dropped the sentence and left.

When he was young, Liu Bang was very lazy, unlearned, and hated farm work. The family often said that he was not, but he didn't think so, he wanted to do big things, how could he work in the fields and spend his life?

He often plays outside, so he gets to know a lot of heroes. Because Liu Bang is very bold and attaches great importance to love and righteousness, everyone likes to play with him, and they also ask him to help when they are in trouble, and over time, Liu Bang has prestige among these people.

Liu Bang's ability to handle internal affairs is not as good as Xiao He, his ability to command troops is not as good as Han Xin's, and his strategy is not as good as Zhang Liang's, but he knows how to "control people" very well. On the other hand, Xiang Yu is a fierce general, brave and brave, but he lacks the skills that a monarch should have, and often fails to listen to correct opinions, and finally ends in failure, which is not surprising.

In Nanzheng, there is already a temporary palace of the King of Han, Liu Bang may be returning to the palace, or going to the mountains and rivers, or maybe going hunting.

Liu Bang still maintains his original habit, as long as it is not something he has to do, he will hand it over to his subordinates, even if it is something he has to do, sometimes it will be delayed.

Looking at the back of Liu Bang's departure, Xiao He said: "As long as there are capable ministers to share the worries of the king, you can naturally sit back and relax." Each of my generals has registered their past performance, and I will give you the file as soon as the infantry arrives. ”

As a political regime, each officer's personal information and combat performance will definitely be recorded in archives, and Deng Yulong can have a preliminary understanding of the situation of each military general through the archives, so as to make reasonable arrangements for work according to the situation.

Deng Yulong once again thanked Xiao He for recommending Liu Bang, and immediately thought of a question.

"By the way, I want to ask, after I become a general, how much is it?"

Now I am working for Liu Bang for the time being, and of course the salary must be understood.

"The general is on an equal footing with the prime minister, your Yulu is the same as me, the specific amount will be finalized after a while, and we have to understand the grain and grass taxes in the two counties of Bashu, and only after finding out the family background can we formulate a reasonable expenditure plan."

Xiao He still has a lot of work to do, the Han State has just taken over the fiefdom, and it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation before he can make an overall plan for governing the country, fiscal revenue and expenditure are naturally a key point, and the treatment standards of the army and officials are an important part.
