Chapter 160: Eight Character Formula

Liu Bei didn't have much excitement on his face, and asked, "I don't know which high-level talent Zhongzheng recommended this time?" ”

This obviously meant something, and it seemed that he thought that Fang Shao was planning to recommend a disgraced talent like Jiang Wan.

Fang Shao smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, this person is very familiar with the lord, and he is still a relative of the lord." ”

"Relatives?" Liu Bei's expression was much better, and he said, "Zhongzheng, you don't plan to recommend Zizhong." ”

The Zizhong in Liu Bei's mouth is the eldest brother of Mrs. Mi, and Mi Zhu, the boss of the Xuzhou veteran group.

Liu Bei's son was still wearing open crotch pants, and the only relative who could handle it, except for Mi Fang, he naturally thought of Mi Zhu.

Of course Fang Shao will not recommend Mi Zhu, this eldest brother who funded Liu Bei to start a family, followed Liu Bei for half his life, and now it is easy to come to Chengdu This world of flowers, it is the time to enjoy happiness, if he is good from the central government and is brought back to Jingzhou by Fang Shao to suffer hardships, this Mi Zizhong does not blame him. What's more, now that Mi Fang has offended, it is obviously not wise to offend Mi Zhu again.

"The lord guessed half right, in fact, it was not Zi Zhonggong who Shao recommended, but his son Mi Wei Mi Jianwuye."

This Mi Wei is the eldest son of Mi Zhu, and now he has five out of twenty, although he is slightly inferior to his father, but he is better at leading troops to fight than his father. Of course, although Mi Wei has some skills, it is really very inconspicuous in this era of bright stars and military generals.

However, as far as Fang Shao's observation goes, this person's ability is at least above Mi Fang, and the most important thing is that Mi Wei is the son of Mi Zhu, and the probability of his defection is much smaller than that of Mi Fang, who is only Mi Zhu's younger brother. And although Guan Yu is a light doctor, he has always respected Mi Zhu, and his son guards Nanjun, and Guan Yu may get along more harmoniously.

Liu Bei showed a little surprise, obviously Fang Shao's suggestion fell into Liu Bei's hands from one side, but after he was only a little happy, he immediately showed a sad look again, and said: "Although Jianwu has a martial strategy, his talent in governing politics is not as good as his father, and he is still young, if he is asked to take such an important position as the Taishou of this southern county, will it be a little inappropriate." ”

Fang Shao smiled and said with relief: "The lord is too worried, the so-called hero is a young man, and his young age is not a problem, I think when Kong Ming's military division assisted the lord, wasn't he also young." At the beginning, Shao was trusted by the lord and sent an envoy to Eastern Wu, he was younger than the military division, although he did not make great contributions, but he did not live up to the lord's trust. As for the ability to govern, the lord can select a few talents in this area to assist him in governing the government, and besides, Nanjun is a military important place, and it is more prudent for the elders to be appointed by the martial arts. What does the lord think? ”

Liu Bei was greatly moved by Fang Shao's words, and after thinking about it, this Mi Wei was indeed an excellent candidate.

The first point is that he is his own relative, and he can rest assured that Nanjun will be handed over to him. Secondly, Mi Wei's talent is indeed stronger than that of his uncle. These three come, several of his relatives are not very talented, most of them can not be entrusted with important tasks, although this Mi Wei is young but also quite qualified, if he is given the opportunity to cultivate well, in the future, there will be another person who can be trusted to stand alone.

Liu Bei pondered and pondered, thought about it for a while, and finally clapped his head: "Since it is the person recommended by Zhongzheng, then it must not be wrong, okay, the position of the Taishou of Nanjun will be taken by Jianwei." ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Fang Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Fang Shao can't rest assured, it's not over to send away such a misfortune as Mi Fang, for Jingzhou, a place that is related to the rise and fall, no matter what, it is necessary to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

So, in the next few days, in addition to knocking on Liu Bei on the side, Fang Shao also had to discuss with Pang Tong, Mi Zhu and others without losing peace.

Under Fang Shao's vigorous efforts, Guan Ping replaced Liu Bei's original candidate and became the guard general of the public security.

The Jiangxia Tai Code was changed to Xu Shu to take over, and as the number one strategist of the Jingzhou garrison, he assisted Guan Yu to supervise the Jingzhou military.

Jiang Wan was promoted to Jingzhou Zhizhong by leapfrogging and was in charge of Jingzhou's criminal and political affairs.

Liu Bei's group is not a word, although Chengdu has set the personnel arrangements for the stay-at-home, but before the formal appointment, Liu Bei also had to send someone to take the list back to Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others to discuss, the two sides communicated with each other many times, and finally determined the final personnel arrangements at the end of October.

So, at the beginning of November, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others finally set off from Jingzhou, leading 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers, as well as Liao Li, Xiang Lang and many other Jingxiang soldiers, to the west into Shuzhong.

In the places they passed along the way, people who had not been attached before, such as Bajun Yan Yan, saw that the general trend had indeed gone, so they had to accept the facts. Zhuge Liang followed the pre-agreed candidates, so that Meng Da and other henchmen smoothly took over strategic places such as Yidu and Bajun.

By the beginning of November, Zhuge Liang and the second group of Jingxiang finally came to Chengdu.

In the following time, Liu Bei was nothing more than a banquet for Zhuge Liang and others, and celebrated for more than ten days, and during this time, Liu Bei also seized the time to agree on a long-awaited list of rewards with Zhuge Liang and several other confidants.

Zhuge Liang was promoted to the general of the military division and acted as the general of the left general's office. Pang Tong served as the general of Anguo, and signed the affairs of General Zuo's office with Zhuge Liang.

With Guan Yu as the general of Dangkou, he led Dong to supervise the military of Jingzhou. Zhang Fei was the general of the conquest and led the Brazilian Taishou. Xu Shu was a rebellious general, Jiangxia was too guarded, and assisted the Jingzhou military.

Fa Zheng is the Taishou of Shu County, and the general of Yangwu. Fang Shao is the lieutenant general in charge of the army. Zhang Song is General Zhaode. These three people also signed the affairs of General Zuo's office.

With Zhao Yun as the general of the Yi army, he led Changsha Taishou. Wei Yan was the general of Yamen, and ordered Guanghan to guard too much. Huang Zhong was a captured general. Xu Jing is the left general Changshi, Li Yan is the Jian Taishou, Fei Guan is the Bajun Taishou, Liu Ba is the left general Xi Cao Peng, Peng Yang is engaged in Yizhou Zhizhong, Dong He is the general in charge of the army, Huang Quan is the partial general, and Wu Yi is the general of the rebellion.

Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Yong and other Xuzhou veterans were all given high positions. And Huo Jun, Ma Liang, Chen Zhen, Liao Li, Xiang Lang and other Jingxiang civil and military forces were all promoted to one side of the Taishou.

In addition to sealing the officials, Liu Bei also took the wealth of the treasury and rewarded the officials extensively. Among them, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu each had a bounty of 500 and 1,000 silver. Fang Shao, Zhang Song, Meng Da, Xu Shu and others each received a bounty of three hundred and five hundred silver. The rest of the meritorious men, and even the officers and soldiers of the three armies, did not hesitate to reward.

As soon as the reward came out, the two states were jubilant.

The civil and military forces listed on this list are undoubtedly an unprecedented luxury lineup for Liu Bei, but I don't know, a column of Liu Bei found that his subordinates now have so many "minions", which is a earth-shaking change compared to when Xuzhou was in the past.

And the main contributor to such a reward list is naturally Zhuge Liang, if it is said that Wolong is inferior to Feng Xiao in terms of tricks, then in politics, I have to admit that Pang Tong is indeed far inferior to Zhuge Liang.

However, except for a small number of people such as Fang Shao, even the popular Fa Zheng and others have no way of knowing the political intentions in this personnel appointment and dismissal list.

It was the third day of Zhuge Liang's arrival in Chengdu, after the feast, a snowstorm suddenly came, Liu Bei took the name of sending Zhuge Liang back to his home, and accompanied by Fang Shao, the three of them came to the most luxurious mansion in Chengdu personally selected by Liu Bei for Zhuge Liang.

Huang Yueying saw the winter snow coming, she had already boiled a hot soup to warm up her body at home, and when she saw the three men who were covered in snow, they were talking and laughing when they entered the house together, she couldn't help but be stunned and said with a smile: "It turns out that the lord and Zhongzheng are also here, why didn't the husband say it earlier." ”

"Why, doesn't Mrs. Zhuge welcome me as an unfamiliar guest?" Liu Bei was in a good mood, so he laughed and joked with Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying hurriedly said: "How could it be, I mean if I knew that a guest was coming, I would have boiled a few bowls of hot soup to entertain the lord and Zhongzheng." ”

Liu Bei swallowed his saliva and said happily: "I heard that Mrs. Zhuge Liang has a good hand of soup, and now I am blessed." ”

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Then please stay for a while." ”

So, the three of them sat around the fireplace in the house, and after a while, Huang Yueying brought the fragrant soup, and the three of them drank several bowls happily.

After a few bowls of good soup, Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously: "Lord, you personally sent Liang back to the house, I'm afraid it's not just to drink this soup." ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, wiped the soup stains on his mouth, and laughed: "Those who know how to prepare, only the military division is also." It's not a secret, I was prepared to come in the snow, but I actually wanted to ask the military advisor to help prepare for the Yizhou plan. ”

Fang Shao knew that Liu Bei came on purpose, and he didn't talk much at the moment, just listening to what the two of them said.

Zhuge Liang smiled and put down the bowl, picked up the feather fan and shook it gently, with a look of confidence, and said: "In fact, what the lord asked, it is also what Liang Zhi thought." On the way to Yizhou this time, Liang has planned a set of good strategies for the lord to sit firmly in Yizhou. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said busily: "It turns out that the military advisor has already had a good plan, and he is willing to hear about it. ”

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said categorically: "Actually, it's simple, just eight words - wooing, suppressing, reusing, and attacking." ”

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "How can you say this?" ”

"The lord led the people of Jingzhou into Shu, then for the Yizhou scholars, they always belong to outsiders, no matter how they are appeased, they will not be completely attached, so the treatment of the Yizhou scholars, we must win over and suppress the parallel, not only to use the outstanding people among them for the use of the main public, but also not to let them develop and grow indefinitely."

Zhuge Liang swallowed his saliva, and continued: "As for the Dongzhou scholars, these people are outsiders relative to the Yizhou scholars, but they are natives compared to the Jingzhou scholars, so the Dongzhou scholars can play a buffer role, these directors can be reused, and some people can be entrusted with important positions." As for the Jingzhou scholars, not to mention, this is the foundation of the great cause of the lord, and the Jingzhou scholars should be in charge of the key duties inside and outside the state. However, if the lord only blindly relied on the scholars of Jingzhou and Dongzhou, these people would inevitably bully the scholars of Yizhou, and over time, it would evolve into the chaos of internal strife during Liu Zhang's time. Therefore, for those who abuse the trust of the lord, they should be severely cracked down. As long as I do what I said, Yizhou can be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Zhuge Liang said a lot, without a pause in between, Fang Shao was okay, Liu Bei over there was already a little unable to keep up with Zhuge Liang's thinking, and after pondering for a while, he finally understood.

He was first happy, then worried, and said: "The military advisor has really thoroughly analyzed the situation in Yizhou, but these eight words are easy to say, but it seems to be extremely difficult to do." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said: "Actually, it's just as simple, if you want to do those six words, you only need to do an external keyword." ”

"Which word?" Liu Bei pricked up his ears and widened his eyes.

After a while, Zhuge Liang said a word lightly:

"Law!"
