Only when you know people can you use them.

Let Mi Yang suggest who is the Taishou of Yiyang, this is Liu Bei's further investigation of Mi Yang, and it is also a kind of exercise for Mi Yang.

Otherwise, why did Liu Bei let Mi Yang be a governor of Yibei to suggest a candidate for the Yiyang Taishou who guarded Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's thoughts, of course Mi Yang knew.

It is precisely because he knows that Mi Yang is cautious about suggesting who is Yiyang Taishou.

And the first condition for choosing Yiyang Taishou must be loyalty.

At present, among the Han Dynasty, most of the people who can be worthy of Mi Yang and Liu Bei's trust are talents from the Yuancong Department and the Jingzhou Department.

It seems that this candidate range is not narrow, but the embarrassing thing is that the talents of the Jingzhou department are naturally not in the selection range.

Because most of the Jingzhou talents who are currently being reused by Liu Bei were recruited when he lived in Xinye.

For example, Fu Wei, Wei Yan, Fu Kuang, Zhang Nan, etc., all of them are from Yiyang County.

According to the principle of official recusal inherited from the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, it was impossible for them to serve as the taishou of the county to which they belonged.

In addition to the strict requirements for loyalty and origin, Yiyang Taishou also has a very important standard.

The status of Yiyang County in Jingzhou is like the status of Hanzhong County in Yizhou, which is not only a gateway to defend the rear, but also a springboard for the Han army's northern expedition from Jingzhou in the future.

With such great strategic significance, it was decided that the Yiyang Taishou who would take office in Japan in the future must be a person with certain military talent and a certain prestige in Jingzhou.

Because Yiyang County is a county that has just been annexed to the Han Dynasty, and Yiyang County is not as well guarded by mountains as Hanzhong County.

It directly intersects with the enemy's borders, and if someone who has no prestige in Jingzhou is appointed as the Taishou of Yiyang, then it is possible that Yiyang County will be in a state of turmoil all the time.

This is definitely something that Liu Bei does not want to see.

At this point in time, there are not a few talents in Dahan, but there are very few people who want to fully take into account the above conditions.

However, it is precisely because there are few people to choose from that it will be regarded by Liu Bei as an investigation and exercise of Mi Yang.

After thinking about it, a candidate appeared in Mi Yang's heart.

This person is Li Yan.

Originally, except for Li Yan, Zhao Yun was the most suitable candidate to serve as the Taishou of Yiyang in all aspects.

It's just that at present, Zhao Yun is the general of Zhengnan, and he is responsible for guarding the southern part of Yizhou, and he is actually the unknown governor of Yinan at present.

If Zhao Yun is reappointed as Yiyang Taishou, it will actually be regarded as a demote to him.

Moreover, even if this is not considered, in the case that Nanzhong has gradually become dishonest recently, it is not appropriate to transfer Zhao Yun all the way to Yiyang.

After excluding Zhao Yun, there is only one candidate that Mi Yang can recommend, and that is Li Yan.

Although Li Yan was not a minister of the Yuan or Jingzhou departments, his loyalty was also trustworthy during Liu Bei's lifetime.

Li Yan is also one of the few great talents in the Han Dynasty who has both military and political skills.

This can be seen from his previous resume.

Although Li Yan is a native of Nanyang, when Yiyang County was separated from Nanyang County.

The official recusal system of the Han Dynasty will no longer cause trouble to Li Yan's appointment as the Taishou of Yiyang.

After all, whether it is the "Three Mutual Law" of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the "Origin Avoidance System" of the Western Han Dynasty, there has never been any objection to officials serving as the taishou of neighboring counties.

Although many of Li Yan's glorious resumes happened after entering Yizhou, when he was young, he served as the governor of Zhongduo County, Nanyang County, and had a certain reputation and prestige in the Jingbei area.

The last point is that Li Yan's clan is a big clan in the Wancheng area.

If he is allowed to serve as the Taishou of Yiyang, it will not only effectively prevent Cao Wei's Nanyang Taishou from affecting Yiyang.

Perhaps in the case of Cao Wei's poor ability to defend Nanyang, Li Yan can also use his clan's influence in Nanyang County to cause some turmoil in Nanyang County.

It's a joy to see.

So in all respects, Li Yan is the best candidate for Yiyang Taishou that Mi Yang can come up with under the current circumstances.

After thinking about the recommended candidates in his heart, Mi Yang wrote a letter and quickly ordered someone to report it to Liu Bei in the rear.

After deciding on this matter, Mi Yang looked at the many documents that had just been delivered in front of him, and he sighed softly.

Originally, it was necessary to redivide the dozen or so counties that originally belonged to Nanyang County into subordinate counties in Yiyang County, which was a very cumbersome government affair.

When Liu Bei was there, there were many political talents around him, and they were also willing to assist Mi Yang.

But Liu Bei may have been for the purpose of exercising Mi Yang's ability to govern the government, and he asked the ministers who followed him to keep their duties.

With these four words, Mi Yang couldn't invite any foreign aid.

At present, Mi Yang does not have a trustworthy and capable talent to assist him, which leads to many things that need to be done by himself.

The reason why Mi Yang couldn't be when Liu Bei was there was before, immediately suggested to Liu Bei that he should be the candidate for Yiyang Taishou.

The reason is that those complicated government affairs involve most of his energy.

However, fortunately, Mi Yang has a huge prestige in Jingzhou, so when Mi Yang issued documents as "Xingyi Yang Taishou".

Not only the chiefs in Xinye City, but also the chiefs in other counties were very cooperative with Miyang's instructions after receiving Mi Yang's documents.

One of the manifestations of the active cooperation of the county magistrates was that after receiving Mi Yang's documents, they took the initiative to submit the list of county magistrates at all levels to Xinye City for Mi Yang to review.

Even at present, in many counties, there is a lack of county magistrates and county orders.

Mi Yang asked each county to quickly submit a list of county magistrates at all levels, in order to select a suitable candidate for the county magistrate or county magistrate as soon as possible.

At present, among the more than a dozen counties in Yiyang County, many of the commanders were frightened and fled because of the arrival of the Han army.

Therefore, at present, there are many county governors in Yiyang County who are vacant.

Under such circumstances, Mi Yang needed to select a suitable candidate from the list submitted by each county in a very short period of time and appoint him as the new governor of the county.

And in order to do this, the list of chief officials submitted by each county in the past few days is very important.

Although the selection of a new county magistrate or county candidate from the list of county governors is inevitably biased.

However, in order to quickly stabilize the situation in Yiyang County, this expedient measure can only be adopted.

When Mi Yang kept checking the documents in front of him, he couldn't help but stare slightly when he saw a certain name in the documents of the champion county.

The name Governor managed to get his attention.

If he remembers correctly, this state Tai seems to be a Cao Wei talent in history.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang's eyes lit up instantly, and he felt that the tiredness in his body was swept away at once.

Cao Wei's talent or something, he likes it the most.

Just when Mi Yang was overjoyed to find a talent, there was a huge wind and dust floating between the earth dozens of miles away from Wancheng.

That huge wind and dust was approaching Wancheng at a very fast speed.

And as the huge wind and dust continued to move, there were tens of thousands of horses' hooves stomping the ground that resounded for miles around.

This scene is reflecting, and in that huge wind and dust, it is tens of thousands of iron riders who are galloping at high speed.

These tens of thousands of iron cavalry were called by Cao Pi and the Guanzhong iron cavalry led by Zhang He, the general of Wei Zuo.

Led by the sturdy figure in front of him, tens of thousands of iron riders began to deliberately slow down after approaching Wancheng several miles away at an extremely fast speed.

Therefore, when it arrived outside Wancheng, the state of tens of thousands of railway riding gallops also stopped.

Then the dust that had been surrounding them began to gradually dissipate between heaven and earth.

After the wind and dust completely dissipated, the full picture of the iron cavalry in the tens of thousands of passes was revealed, and Zhang He, as their main general, also set his eyes on Wancheng in front of him.

Zhang He, who looked tired, sat on a tall horse in fine armor, and when he looked up at the majestic city in front of him, his eyes were full of complicated emotions.

After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, because of the repeated turmoil in Yongliang, Cao Pi appointed Cao Zhen as the general of Zhenxi, and cooperated with Zhang He, who had led the troops to garrison Chencang, to quell the rebellions in various places.

When Cao Pi urgently summoned Zhang He to Wancheng to reach Guanzhong, Zhang He had just put down the rebellion in Anding County and led his troops to repair outside Chang'an City.

Among the five good generals of that year, he was the lowest in terms of status and trust.

It all stemmed from the vote outside Guandu that year.

Zhang He naturally knows this.

However, this did not make Zhang He's heart of fame cold.

On the contrary, it may be to wash away Dawei's suspicions about him, Zhang He's fame has always been the most prosperous of the five good generals.

Under the influence of a strong heart of fame, Zhang He will not let go of any opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, Zhang He, who originally led the army to repair, immediately gave up the plan to repair after receiving Cao Pi's edict.

After Zhang He relied on Cao Pi's edict to converge with thousands of iron horsemen in Chang'an City, Zhang He led a total of tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Guanzhong to quickly come towards Wancheng.

The distance between Chang'an and Wancheng is not close, but despite this, Zhang He was able to lead tens of thousands of Guanzhong Iron Cavalry to come to this Wancheng in about ten days, which shows how eager his heart is.

It's just that what Zhang He didn't expect was that when he just stepped into the boundary of Nanyang County, he got the news of the Wei army's defeat.

The results of the Battle of Xiangfan have long been spread throughout Nanyang County under the fermentation of time.

And after Zhang He learned the news, he couldn't help but feel extremely remorseful.

Unexpectedly, he rushed to catch up, but he was still a step late.

And it's only about half a month away.

In the news that had already spread throughout Nanyang County, Zhang He also knew that a very important reason for the defeat of the Wei army in the Battle of Xiangfan was the appearance of Ma Chao's 3,000 Xiliang iron cavalry.

After knowing this, the chagrin in Zhang He's heart became more and more serious.

From Zhang He's point of view, if the Battle of Xiangfan could take place after his arrival, then the Wei army would definitely not be defeated.

But the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to calculate how annoyed Zhang He is at this time.

After being annoyed, Zhang He still had a shocking emotion in his heart, and a deep fear of the Han army.

In any case, this battle can be regarded as a complete fight against the prestige of the Han army.

Especially when the news of Zhang Liaobing's defeat and death was known to Zhang He, some sad emotions appeared in Zhang He's heart.

Because they are both generals, Zhang Liao and Zhang He did not have a deep friendship in the past.

It's just that because they are both demoted generals, although Zhang He and Zhang Liao have no deep friendship, they will have a sense of sympathy in each other's hearts.

Under the various emotions of sadness, chagrin and shock, Zhang He who came to Wancheng, his mood was very complicated.

But just when Zhang He looked at the gate of Wancheng with complicated eyes, the messenger sent by Cao Pi, who knew Zhang He's arrival in advance, also came to Zhang He.

After Cao Pi's envoy arrived, Zhang He immediately reacted conditionally to put away his complex emotions.

With respectful eyes, he followed Cao Pi's envoy and walked towards Wancheng.

And just before entering Wancheng, Zhang He also consciously handed over the tiger talisman in his hand and handed it to Cao Xiu, who came with the envoy.

Even if Zhang He made military achievements, even if Cao Xiu was a general who had just been defeated, Zhang He's performance seemed very natural.

After following Cao Pi's envoy all the way to Cao Pi's dormitory, Zhang He subconsciously sorted out his clothes, and then slowly walked into the main hall under the leadership of the envoy.

At this time, there were not many people in the main hall, only a few Wei ministers such as Sima Yi.

After Zhang He entered the main hall, he did not look at Sima Yi and other Wei Chen.

After he saw the figure sitting on the throne, he very respectfully bowed down and walked to Cao Pi's throne, bowed deeply to him and said:

"Minister Zhang He, see Your Majesty."

After Zhang He met Cao Pi, Cao Pi did not let Zhang He get up immediately.

He just looked at Zhang He with a kind of scrutiny.

When Cao Pi's meaningless gaze was reflected on Zhang He's back, it made Zhang He feel a sense of being on his back.

This feeling is just like what he felt when Xiahou Yuan became the chief general of Hanzhong under the public recommendation of the generals after Xiahou Yuan died in battle.

And Cao Pi's gaze also means that he is not as happy about Zhang He's arrival as Zhang Liao.

It's just that although Cao Pi doesn't trust Zhang He as much as Zhang Liao, the current situation in Wancheng still needs Zhang He to stabilize, so Cao Pi quickly put away his scrutinizing gaze.

"Flat."

When Cao Pi's flat voice came into Zhang He's ears, Zhang He felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He straightened up slightly, but he still didn't dare to look directly at Cao Pi like the other ministers.

Zhang He's attitude can be regarded as very respectful, but some things can be changed without a respectful posture.

Behind Zhang Heping, Cao Pi asked him lightly:

"Does Zhang Qing know what the result of the battle of Xiangfan is?"

Faced with Cao Pi's inquiry, Zhang He replied unhurriedly: "The minister knows." ”

After hearing Zhang He's answer, Cao Pi nodded slightly, and then he asked Zhang He as if inadvertently:

"In the past, the five good generals either died or rebelled, but now only Zhang Qing is left."

Zhang Qing has made great achievements and has a reputation in the army, and recently there are people inside and outside Wancheng who say: If you want to determine the situation in Wancheng, you must use Zhang Qing as a general.

I wonder what Zhang Qing thinks of this kind of remarks? ”

Cao Pi's tone of questioning was not harsh, but when his words reached Zhang He's ears, it caused Zhang He's heart to shake violently.
