Chapter Seventy-Six: Separate Deliberations
Although Liu He's strong position came a little quickly, but it was in line with the hearts of most people, in this era of "Lao Tzu is a hero, Lao Tzu is a green onion and sells garlic", his background is particularly important, because of his dual identity as the eldest son and the servant, no one dares to stand up to accuse and provoke at this time.
The two fires and the two killings last night, although they dealt with stubborn and spies, told everyone with the fact of iron and blood that Liu Yu's team left in Jixian County was excellent, and the methods of the eldest prince were ruthless.
Liu He, who is sitting on the main seat in the middle, looks so young, but he has an inspiring spirit, maybe this is the aura of the superior.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin our formal deliberations, I would like to introduce you to two colleagues. Please come forward and meet you! ”
Li Yan and Zhao Yun had just entered with Liu He, and were standing behind the curtain waiting for Liu He's summons, and after hearing Liu He's voice, they walked generously into the hall and saluted everyone.
"Mr. Zhengfang is a talented person recruited when I passed through Nanyang, born in a family, and knows all the subsets of history, and has been an official in the county, with a high reputation. Now is the time to employ people, I want to hire Mr. Zhengfang on behalf of my father to engage in the state, I don't know what you think? ”
Liu He looked at everyone with a "modest" face, as if he was really asking everyone what their opinions were.
Xian Yuyin has followed Liu He for a period of time, and has already opened his mind, knowing that Liu He likes to have someone "praise" at this time, so he pretended to be casual and said: "Everyone may not be familiar with Mr. Zhengfang, but what I want to tell you is that most of the actions to arrest the murderer and spies in the city this time are from Mr. Zhengfang's plan." ”
Everyone originally had a little contempt for this Li Zhengfang who suddenly appeared, but when they heard Xian Yuyin's words, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they no longer dared to take it lightly.
According to Xian Yuyin, this Li Yan is also an out-and-out ruthless person!
Seeing that everyone did not say anything against it, Liu He continued: "Zilong is the Changshan Zhending clan, he has the courage of ten thousand people, and his martial arts are superb, and he is enough to compete with the tiger and the tiger Lu Bu!" In the future, you will have many opportunities to see Zilong's skills, so I will not repeat them here. I want to appoint Zilong as the commander of the Taifu Guards on behalf of my father, and the position is the same as that of the captain, I don't know what everyone thinks? ”
Everyone in the hall may be unfamiliar with Li Yan, but recently they have vaguely heard that when the eldest prince was in the Xindu League, he used an An Pingguo to exchange for a young general from Gongsun Zhan, and at this time, he heard that Zhao Yun could play against Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general, and they were all shocked in their hearts, where would they speak against it.
As for the formation of the "Taifu Guard" mentioned by Gongzi, it is not easy to oppose it, and the father and son want to recruit some thugs to protect themselves, which is also human nature. Now that the world is in turmoil, and from time to time there are things like betrayals seeking glory, and there are no loyal guards to follow, how many people can sleep peacefully?
"Since everyone has no different opinions, please take a seat with Zhengfang and Zilong!" When Liu He said this, he looked at Li Yan and Zhao Yun with a smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with his arrangements today.
Li Yan looked at Liu He, who was smiling at him, and was speechless for a while. Childe is not confused about big things, but this mind is too delicate, right? You let me and Zhao Yun sit down at this time, but you will give us a good seat!
Zhao Yun was still immersed in the words that Gongzi just said, "Enough to compete with the tiger and the tiger Lu Bu", he never said to anyone the wish hidden in his heart, that is, one day he can face off against Lu Bu, who is known as the "No. 1 fierce general in the world", and win the battle in a dignified manner.
Now, Gongzi praised himself in front of everyone for being able to compete with Lu Bu, which made Zhao Yun feel a feeling of blood boiling. Zhao Yun secretly told himself in his heart that he would swear to fight Lu Bu in this life against Gongzi's words today!
Zhao Gai's reaction was still very fast, he saw that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Childe, there are many things to discuss today, why don't you take a break for a while, and let everyone get close to Zhengfang and Zilong?" ”
Liu He was reminded by Zhao to realize that he took advantage of the position to strongly install his cronies into the state official system, and the seats in this hall need to be rearranged, otherwise everyone will push me to let it, and the scene will not be very serious and good-looking.
"Zhao Beijia's words are very good, and it should be so!" Liu He got off the donkey down the slope and hurriedly flashed people.
The people in the hall temporarily dispersed, some went to the latrine to solve the internal emergency, some quietly passed these important news to the outside of the house, and some three or five gathered in one place and muttered quietly...... According to Zhao Gai's instructions, the subordinates in the mansion were carrying a few new seats inside, and then adjusted and arranged the seats of everyone in the hall.
In the back hall, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Li Yan, Zhao Yun and others surrounded Liu He.
"Childe, Yan is very grateful for your promotion and reuse, but if you don't wait for Lord Taifu to return to Jixian County, you will give me and Zilong a position in the state, will it make Lord Taifu dislike?" Li Yan asked with some concern.
Liu He replied with a relaxed face: "Zhengfang doesn't have to worry about this matter, the appointment of the two of you announced in public today is not something I thought about for a while. The news coming back from the direction of Macheng in the past few days has become more and more serious, and for the sake of your convenience in the future, I will not care about those details. On my father's side, I will write a letter to explain this to him. But the two of you, you must adapt to the new position as soon as possible, don't have any worries in your heart, just let go and do things boldly! The greater the achievements you make, the greatest support for me, and others will not question and gossip. ”
"Yan must live up to Childe's expectations!"
"Yun swears to die to serve his son!"
Li Yan and Zhao Yun expressed their gratitude to Liu He.
"Brother Bi Cheng and Brother Minghui, the two of you are both the cadres that my father relies on, and they are also the old men of Youzhou, we must help and support Zhengfang and Zilong in the future, we must look forward and look up, and don't just stare at the three feet in front of your toes. Believe me, the position of lieutenant is just the beginning, and in the future, everyone will definitely become a commander and lead the army to sweep the world! ”
In front of Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, Liu He's words were heartfelt, not only euphemistically reminding the two not to fight with Zhao Yun and Li Yan in the nest, but also encouraging them to take a long-term view, and he will also entrust them to be important in the future.
Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin are not stupid, otherwise they would not have risen to a high position under Liu Yu at a young age, they clasped their fists at the same time, and solemnly promised Liu He: "Gongzi mentions it today, and the last general (lowly duty) will keep it in mind, and dare not forget!" ”
Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the front hall to discuss matters, and the layout of the hall had changed a lot.
I saw that the seat that originally belonged to Liu Yu was moved slightly to the right, and then a seat of the same size was placed slightly behind the left side next to it, so that it seemed that the seat on the right was slightly more noble than the one on the left.
The most dominant seat in the staff seat on the right side of the lower head was reserved for Zhao Cai, and the first seat in the staff seat on the left side was reserved for Qi Zhou. The seat next to Zhao Gai is Gongsun Ji, and Gongsun Ji's position in the past is reserved for Cheng Xu, Dong Cao Peng, and Wei You. Next to Qi Zhou's position to the left were Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Li Yan and Zhao Yun.
The rest of the lower-ranking officials set up two rows behind the five seats on the left and right rows, and then sat down in turn.
In this way, nine of the ten seats on the left and right sides of the main seat have been clarified, and the seat on the right side where Wei You is sitting is temporarily unowned.
This seat is very attractive to many people in the hall.
After everyone sat down, Zhao should send someone to the west courtyard to invite the eldest prince back and continue the discussion.
Liu He naturally sat on the newly added seat next to Liu Yu, which was also what he secretly asked Zhao to do.
Liu He didn't want to wait until Liu Yu returned to grab a seat with Zhao Cai, so he simply added a "small bench" next to his father, presumably the benevolent and generous father couldn't bear to drive him away, right?
The deliberations continued, and this time Liu He did not say much, but handed over the right to speak to Zhao Gai and others.
Zhao Gai said: "Qi Zhizhong took people to Liangxiang, Changping, Guangyang, Zhuoxian and other places to raise grain and grass, and he has been walking for five days, and the specific situation will be reported in the near future." According to the grain harvest reported by the counties this year, this batch of grain and grass should be fully prepared. The problem now is that the grain and grass in each county are stored in various cities, and if these grains and grasses are transported back to Jixian County and then transported to Macheng, it will inevitably delay time, but if they are transported to Macheng separately, it will be difficult to ensure safety on the way. ”
After Zhao Cai finished speaking, everyone frowned and thought about countermeasures.
Without waiting for everyone to come up with a solution, Li Yan said: "The problem raised by Zhao Beijia is very important, and Yan feels that if he wants to solve it properly, he should take two steps. ”
Liu He asked: "Let's talk about it, what two steps should I take?" ”
"The first step is to immediately transport a batch of grain and grass from Jixian County that can be eaten by the army for fifteen days to Macheng, and the army can also send some wine, meat and clothing needed for winter, so as to solve the urgent needs of the army and play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army."
"The second step, from Jixian County to send three grain teams to the north, west and south of Jixian County to receive grain and grass, and then take a relay to transport the grain and grass in sections to Zhuolu in the middle section of the water, and when these grains and grass arrive in batches to Zhuolu, the first batch of grain transport teams from Jixian County to Macheng have returned, just in time to hand over with the grain transport team in Zhuolu."
Li Yan really didn't disappoint Liu He, and for the first time he gave advice in front of everyone, he came up with a very high level, at least Liu He himself felt that it was very feasible after listening to it, and he couldn't find anything wrong.
However, it is only really good if everyone says it is good. Without waiting for Liu He to express his appreciation, some people immediately questioned Li Yan's suggestion.
Gongsun Ji said loudly: "This proposal by Li Cheng seems to be feasible, but it ignores an important issue! Now there are only 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry in Jixian County, if they are scattered everywhere to escort grain and grass, who will defend the city? If Jixian County is unstable, how can the front army be stable? ”
