Chapter 288: Planning Before Taking Office

Hearing Zhang Liao's inquiry, Guo Jia smiled and said: "The lord leads Hedong Taishou, so naturally he wants to calm the rebellion between Han Xian and Li Le first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhang Liao nodded, Dong Zhuo needs a stable rear, and he also needs a stable territory.

Guo Jia touched his chin and said, "Jia has two strategies, but he can calm the chaos of Baibo, but I don't know which strategy the lord chooses?" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Come on." ”

Guo Jia said: "One, the lord is new, Bai Bo does not know the truth, the lord first showed that there are few soldiers, show the enemy to be weak, arrogant and arrogant, lure the enemy south, secretly ambush, and break it in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, Guo Jia is really cunning, this is indeed a good strategy, showing the enemy weakness, and Guo Jia and Dian Wei are secretly planning to lure the enemy into battle, and most of them succeed.

But he groaned and asked, "What about the second?" Guo Jianeng proposed two strategies, which must be about the same.

Guo Jia said: "The lord is new to Hedong, Han Xian and Li Le still don't know, so they can quickly catch up with the momentum, non-stop, raid Baibo, and break it in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows: "How to raid?" How to break it? He believed that the White Wave Thief's combat effectiveness was not bad, otherwise he would not have dragged the Flying Bear Army for a whole year. He doesn't have many soldiers and horses now, plus Dian Wei's five hundred tiger soldiers, it's only eight thousand.

Guo Jia smiled leisurely, dipped his fingers in the water, drew a map on the desk, and said: "The east of Dayang and Anyi is a high mountain and dense forest, and the other side of the mountain is Dongyuan County, and there is a road in the northwest of Dongyuan County, which is called Guanyi, which is in the Taihang Mountains, with deep valleys and high cliffs, and the road is steep, leading to Hanoi to the east and Jiangyi County to the north. With Niu Fu in front, the front and back attack, Bai Bo will be chaotic, and when the time comes, Sima can take advantage of the situation to attack and capture Han Xian and Li Le in one fell swoop. ”

"Good! That's how it goes! Zhang Liao made a decision.

Guo Jia couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "The lord is wise, if he can break the white wave with the power of thunder, he can also deter the officials and heroes of Hedong County, and it is beneficial to the lord's governance." ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, that's exactly what he meant. In troubled times, he must maintain a strong posture in Hedong to quickly implement his decrees, and defeating the White Wave Thief is a beginning and a deterrent!

Early the next morning, Zhang Liao sent Zhang He out, and he continued to the north with 3,000 soldiers and a group of family members, Confucian teachers, and students, along the Yuban Ancient Salt Road, through Zhongtiao Mountain, and went straight to Anyi, the seat of Hedong County.

Anyi is in the northeast of Yanchi, it is the ancient capital of the Xia Dynasty, there is the saying of Anyi, the capital of Yu, since the Qin, Anyi has been the seat of Hedong County.

Zhang Liao arrived in Anyi, stationed the soldiers outside the city, and asked Zhang Jian, who arrived here first, to settle his family and a group of Confucian students with his personal guards, and he took Guo Jia to meet Niu Fu first.

Niu Fu did not live in the Taishou Mansion, but in the Anyi Palace. Anyi Palace is a palace built in the former Han Dynasty, and although it is still dilapidated, it is also a first-class residence.

When Zhang Liao arrived at Anyi Palace, he first asked people to present Jia Xu's letter, and after a short time, Niu Fu personally rushed out to greet him.

After all, Zhang Liao was at the same level as him, this time he came to help him, and he had old friends to entrust him, Niu Fu was very kind, and personally took Zhang Liao in, and the two sat down to talk, Guo Jia also accompanied him, taking the opportunity to observe Niu Fu.

What's more special is that Niu Fu was accompanied by a witch, although Zhang Liao was surprised, he nodded kindly to the witch.

After sitting down, he looked at Niu Fu carefully, this is the third person under Dong Zhuo's command to eliminate Dong Min and Dong Huang, and control the most elite Flying Bear Army.

Unexpectedly, Niu Fu is not the Kansai man with a beard and a tiger's back as he imagined, but a rather elegant middle-aged man, and his face is not fierce, but a little soft, but a little similar to Li Dao. However, looking at people and gods, Zhang Liao's impression of Niu Fu is much better than that of Li Dao, at least not as insidious as Li Dao.

Niu Fu first inquired about the battle situation in Luoyang, and when he heard Zhang Liao say that the Flying Bear Army had lost more than half of it, he was very angry, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and even drank several glasses of stuffy wine before he sighed and looked at Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan's reputation for being good at fighting, I have heard it many times, but I don't know how Wenyuan plans to deal with the white wave thieves, these white wave thieves are really annoying. ”

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Niu Zhonglang can rest assured, within three days, he will see the difference." ”

When Niu Fu heard this, he suddenly showed a little joy, and was busy asking what was going on, Zhang Liao just smiled and didn't say anything, and persuaded him to drink again and again, his posture made Niu Fu feel a lot closer.

During the banquet, Zhang Liao mentioned the need to house Confucian scholars and students, Niu Fu immediately made a decision, ordered someone to go out and prepare a fort, although it was located outside the city, it was much safer, so that Zhang Liao saved a lot of effort at once.

When Zhang Liao and Guo Jia left Anyi Palace, it was already an hour later.

Out of Anyi Palace, he looked at Guo Jia: "How is this person Fengxiao Guan Niu Fu?" ”

If you want to gain a foothold in Hedong, you must first have a good relationship with Niu Fu, which is a very critical step. Niu Fu has won Dong Zhuo's trust, and if the relationship is good, he can provide some cover for himself, or help at a critical time, just like Li Ru and Tian Yi.

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled: "I heard that this person is indecisive, suspicious, and believes in witch wishes, when I saw it today, sure enough, in this way, the lord has a good idea of getting along with him, and it is a hundred times stronger than a fierce and domineering or insidious and cunning person." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, indecisive people are generally easier to get along with.

Guo Jia said again: "And Niu Fu believes in the words of Wu Zhu, we can find out the origin of Wu Zhu, buy that Wu Zhu with a lot of money, and it will be of great benefit to the lord at a critical time, or it is unknown if he can ask him to leave Hedong." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this is a good way! As long as you make friends with Wu Zhu, then Wu Zhu can usually say a few good words, and it will be easy to deal with Niu Fu by himself.

Guo Jia's guy is really pervasive!

Zhang Liao was not in a hurry to go to the Taishou Mansion to take office, he needed an opportunity to make a shining debut, but now he sent the Shadow Division out first to investigate the situation in the county, especially the situation of the county under the Taishou and several main officials.

Among the magistrates of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Taishou, the Minister of State, the County Cheng and the subordinate county orders and county officials were all recruited by the three prefectures, and the three were directly appointed, and the recusal system was adopted, one was not allowed to serve as the governor of the state and county in the state, the other was not allowed to serve as the governor of the state and county where the in-laws were located, and the third was that the people of the two states were not allowed to supervise each other, that is, they could not serve as the governor of each other's states and counties.

The local governors are directly appointed by the central government, but the local county officials are completely different, they are recruited by the Taishou or the minister of state themselves, and most of them are from the county, and most of them are from the local powerhouses.

Therefore, there is a problem in this, Taishou was appointed by Santai, and if he does not get the support and support of the local county officials after he arrives, it will be extremely difficult to issue government decrees, extremely tricky, and will become a puppet and be completely hollowed out.

If it is in the peaceful world, it is good to say, the majesty of the Han Court is still there, the appointment of the three governments and three stations, most of the places dare not offend, but now in this troubled era is different, the majesty of the Han Court is lost, and the local heroes recruit soldiers and accept the people, and they are expanding day by day. Taishou has arrived at the place, if he does not marry the Hao family, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference.

And Zhang Liao has two weaknesses, one is that he is too young, and most of the county officials are difficult to convince, and the other is that the order he administers will sooner or later offend some local wealthy families, and the resistance he will face after taking office will be great.

The new officials take office with three fires, and they also pay attention to strategy.

Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys is a means, but the premise is to know who among these county officials is a chicken, who is a monkey, who is capable, who is mediocre, who can be co-opted, and who is bound to be offended. (To be continued.) )
