The situation in Xuzhou in the 166th

In the end, after many considerations, Liu Bei did not assign this task according to the request of the three cronies, he assigned Jian Yong to Pengchengguo, Sun Qian stayed in Xiapi Kingdom, and Mi Zhu went to Donghai County.

Liu Bei in this time and space has begun to partially change his principle of employing people.

Before, Jin Jue had reminded Liu Bei positively that Liu Bei has the ability to recognize people, this characteristic, he is definitely not as good as Xun Yu, but much stronger than Cao Cao and Sun Quan, but Liu Bei has a very bad habit in employing people, especially in appointing generals-nepotism.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with employing nepotism, in this troubled era, it is naturally more reassuring to use the cronies around you to lead.

Cao Cao is like this, and so is Sun Quan.

However, Liu Bei knew that the generals around him had such and such shortcomings, but he did not take this into account when assigning his subordinates, so there was a very big problem.

Specifically, later generations all knew that Guan Yu treated his soldiers well, but neglected the scholars, Liu Bei either asked Guan Yu to choose his subordinates, or the people sent to him should be able to get along with Guan Yu.

And Zhang Fei attaches great importance to the scholars, but he treats his soldiers very poorly and flogs them at every turn. This is not a very good habit, soldiers are raised by their fathers and mothers, people come to your army as soldiers, to put it bluntly, it is just a mess of food, if Zhang Fei is like this, then, Xuzhou soldiers might as well surrender Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he slaughtered the city, which scared away many people in Xuzhou, and also caused a large-scale plague to break out in the Jianghuai region. But look, there is actually another advantage to slaughtering the city, that is, he has killed all the people in the city, and the whole family is dead, who will avenge them?

Therefore, the so-called deep hatred is not as strong as imagined.

Now, the reason why the people of Xuzhou are closely attached to Liu Bei, in the final analysis, is that Liu Bei gave them all the borderless lands in the north of Xuzhou according to Jin Jue's suggestion, in exchange for the infinite loyalty of the people of Xuzhou and the recruited soldiers.

If Zhang Fei continues like this, it will greatly damage Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence.

Jin Jue did not give Liu Bei a specific solution, in fact, he knew that with Liu Bei's ability, as long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to solve these potential problems, and even if Liu Bei couldn't, Xu Shu could.

Historically, Xu Shu took refuge in Liu Bei before Zhuge Liang, and he had never heard of rumors that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied with him, but Zhuge Liang's great talent was recruited by Liu Bei, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both dissatisfied at first.

After Jin Jue's reminder, Liu Bei has now paid great attention to this.

He himself found a solution.

First of all, Guan Yu was appointed by Liu Bei as the minister of Pengcheng, and he was in charge of everything in the country, even the Cheng of Pengchengguo, he also handed it over to Guan Yu to conquer on his own.

Guan Yu unexpectedly asked Yuan Jian to serve as Peng Cheng Guocheng, Yuan Jian is a loyal elder who does not speak of people's evil. I also get along with Guan Yu more well.

Yuan Lian, whose name is Yaoqing, is a native of Fule in Chenjun, born in "Chenjun Yuan", and is the son of Situ Yuan. Last time, Lü Bu and Liu Bei joined forces to break through the army sent by Yuan Shu to fight for Xuzhou, and killed Ji Ling, the general of the unified army, and Yuan Jian was also in the army at that time.

Liu Bei originally wanted to keep Yuan Jian by his side and let him serve as the Minister of Shopee, but since Guan Yu offered to let Yuan Jian be his subordinate official, Liu Bei agreed.

Yuan Lian's intelligence is not as good as Lu Su and Xu Shu, but his ability to govern is still very strong.

Therefore, Guan Yu controlled Pengchengguo and most of Peiguo, and was actually busy with military affairs, and he handed over all the government affairs of the two countries to Yuan Jian and never interfered.

Secondly, Zhang Fei was not only left in Xiapi by Liu Bei, but also the matter of training soldiers was not handed over to him, but to Chen Dao, who had just been subordinated to Liu Beijun.

However, Liu Bei made it very clear to Zhang Fei that once Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he would definitely be the one who led the army to assist Guan Yu in defending Peng Chengguo.

Zhang Fei is actually a very smart person, and he also knows his temper, so he reluctantly accepts the arrangement of the eldest brother.

As for Chen Dao, if Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he would lead the army to garrison Donghai County to guard against the thieves of Mount Tai.

Among the counties of Xuzhou, Pengchengguo is located in the westernmost part of Xuzhou, adjacent to Peiguo and Lu in Yuzhou, and Taishan County in Yanzhou.

Donghai County is connected to Langya County in the north, so Liu Beijun only needs to guard against Zang Ba and others.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Peng Chengguo's military pressure is also the greatest, connected to Cao Cao's army in the north, and Jiujiang, Yuan Shu's nest, in the south.

Fortunately, Liu Bei planted a secret chess piece in the east of Runan County, Yuzhou - Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei didn't know what to think, so he actually asked Zhao Yun to change his name to Jin Yun, and in the name of Jin Shang's younger brother, that is, Jin Jue's uncle, gathered a crowd to lead troops to be stationed in Gushi County, Runan County, instead of Liu Beijun's subordinates. He confronted Li Tong, who had taken refuge in Cao Cao and was stationed in Yang'an County, Runan, and Shu Shao, the Taishou of Runan County, appointed by Yuan Shu, in Runan County.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun finally got the opportunity to lead the army alone, and as a result, he had to change his name and surname. However, only in this way can Zhao Yun hide from Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, and develop Liu Beijun's power alone in Runan County.

After all, Runan County is the hometown of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has many protégés and former officials in this county, entrenched in the counties. If Zhao Yun was to develop in Runan County in the name of Liu Beijun, he would not be attacked by Li Tong and Shu Shao at the same time.

If he develops his power alone, others will only think that he is just a small warlord in a local area.

"Hahaha, lord, leave the matter of buying chickens and ducks to me!" After Liu Bei finished assigning, Lu Su said with a laugh.

Since everyone else took the initiative to receive the task, Lu Su also took the initiative to stand up and take on this seemingly marginal task, but he didn't think it was a despicable thing.

It is true that frogs and chickens and ducks eat locusts, but it is difficult to say how much of a role they can play in the locust plague. However, as Xu Shu said, what the predecessors have not done is not necessarily wrong, everything can only be seen after they verify it in person.

"Hahaha, Lone will hand over all the remaining money in the county to Zijing, but you can only go outside Xuzhou to buy chickens and ducks." Liu Bei also reminded with a laugh.
