Since Kou Feng led his troops to open up the three eastern counties, Zhang Xi went from Xiangyang to Hanzhong, so he didn't need to start from Jiangling, and took a boat to enter Yizhou first, and then went north.

Now Zhang Xi can take a boat directly in Xiangyang, go up the Han River, and directly arrive in Hanzhong.

In April, Zhang Xi joined Xu Shu, who had come to Xiangyang from Wuling, and the two set off from Xiangyang by boat together, and the first stop was Dongsan County.

In fact, there was no need to stay in the three eastern counties, but Zhang Xi was a little unsure about whether that Kou Erha could manage such an important place.

The three eastern counties are the link between Hanzhong and Xiangyang, this place can not be broken, once broken, between Jingzhou and Yizhou, it can still only rely on the Yangtze River to connect, so the efficiency will be much worse.

Because Xu Shu ruthlessly sued Meng Da in the battle report sent to Liu Bei, Liu Bei had a grudge against Meng Da, and Liu Bei did not let Meng Da lead his troops north to participate in the attack in such an important eastern three counties, but directly handed it over to Kou Feng to attack. Therefore, the current timing of the three eastern counties is that Kou Feng is the governor of the military and political affairs, and cooperates with the Shen brothers, the local wealthy families of the three eastern counties, to govern the place.

Brother Shen. Well, the standard wall-to-wall grass family, whoever is powerful will listen to whomever it is.

But this kind of person can't be too careless, otherwise you won't know when you will be sold by them.

For Kou Feng, Zhang Xi is 120,000 uneasy.

This guy is quite brave in battle, and he is not completely brainless, but his brain is indeed limited.

In addition, I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know if this kid has grown up, and now although Shangyong has no Meng Da, God knows if he will continue to do the kind of thing that oppresses the local family and robs other people's honor guards.

Therefore, when Zhang Xi was passing by the three eastern counties, he still paused for a moment, planning to meet Kou Feng and talk to this kid.

Kou Feng was very pleased with Zhang Xi's arrival, and hurriedly set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Xi and Xu Shu, and at the same time, he also told Zhang Xi about the process of his attack on the three eastern counties.

In fact, there is really nothing to say, it is basically that Kou was sealed under the city, and the city opened and surrendered, and so on.

But after all, this is the first time that Kou Feng has led the army alone, and Kou Erha's temperament has made achievements, so he can't report it to his eldest brother.

Zhang Xi knew Kou Feng's intentions, and while praising this guy, he also asked about government affairs by the way.

In terms of military affairs, Kou Feng's ability is not bad, and it should not be a problem for someone who can command an army to arrange the defense of a county.

But in terms of government affairs, Zhang Xi was afraid that Kou Feng would be inexperienced, so he would be deceived by the following officials, or he would be hollowed out by the local family Shen.

But Kou Feng said with a big grin that this is not a big problem.

Saying that, Kou Feng introduced Zhang Xi to his newly conquered county - Dong Yun.

Oh, that's fine.

Now Zhang Xi is a little immune to this kind of celebrity who suddenly appeared.

Anyway, Jiang Wan can be a county commander under himself, and Dong Yun, the son of Dong He, is not a big deal to be a county commander on Kou Feng's side.

Liu Bei looks at people, that's notoriously accurate, can he not know that Kou Feng can be used as a general, but the town guard still owes some experience?!

In history, Liu Bei asked Meng Da to lead his troops north from Yidu and occupy the three eastern counties, and Meng Da was responsible for governing the place.

Meng Da, although he is a very small person in history, has repeatedly jumped sideways, but his ability is really not picky, and it is absolutely no problem to guard one place.

But in the same way, Liu Bei also knew that Meng Da was a person with good ability, but he was too careful, and someone had to check and balance him.

Therefore, Liu Bei will send Kou Feng to lead the troops again, so that Kou Feng will nominally be the governor of the three eastern counties. It is equivalent to putting a tight spell on Meng Da.

But the current situation is different, because Meng Da was unwilling to send troops to rescue Nanjun, which led to Xu Shu suing Meng Da in front of Liu Bei, Liu Bei is now very disappointed in Meng Da, and it is impossible to hand over such an important eastern three counties to Meng Da to manage, so he simply didn't even transfer him, and let him continue to be his Yidu Taishou.

But if you only rely on Kou Feng to lead the troops into the three eastern counties, it will be easy to pacify, but it will be troublesome to govern.

Therefore, Liu Bei picked and chose among his own talent entrainment, and sent Kou Feng a few good masters of internal affairs, such as Hu Ji, Fan Jian, etc., all of which were stuffed over.

And Dong Yun is one of the most outstanding.

Before leaving, Liu Bei had already told Kou Feng to let him grasp the construction of the army, and in terms of government affairs, just leave it to Dong Yun and others to be responsible.

Kou Feng really didn't want to deal with the Shen brothers, after all, he had always been a military general, and he had never been very interested in dealing with these families or literati, so he simply handed over this matter to Dong Yun to deal with.

In this way, it is good to divide labor and save trouble.

After Zhang Xi heard these causes and consequences, he immediately understood everything.

To put it bluntly, Kou Feng, the position of the governor of the three eastern counties, is just a temporary transitional position.

Liu Bei couldn't find anyone he could trust for a while, and he had both civil and military manpower, so he had to let Kou seal it.

When Liu Bei has thoroughly digested the results of the battle of Hanzhong and freed his hands, he will naturally make adjustments to the three eastern counties.

Therefore, the current division of labor between Kou Feng and Dong Yun and the people is just a temporary arrangement.

Since this is the case, Zhang Xi has nothing to say, let Kou Feng not do much, and make his own decisions about the affairs in the army, if he encounters government affairs, just listen to Dong Yun's words.

In fact, it's okay, Kou Feng doesn't have to deal with the Shen brothers if he doesn't have any contact with government affairs, and naturally there is no possibility of offending or bullying the Shen brothers.

And even if he accidentally offended, Kou Feng also has the power of the army, and on the Shen brothers' side, there is also Dong Yun to help wipe his ass, so the problem will not be too big.

Just a little. As long as this Erha doesn't offend Dong Yun together, it's okay.

Zhang Xi mainly instructed Kou Feng to do this, and after the instructions, he was not at ease, Zhang Xi also visited Dong Yun in person, and talked with Dong Yun for a long time, the core idea is one - my brother has no bad intentions, if he accidentally offends you, you tell me, I will clean him up!!

Dong Yun was visited by Zhang Xi, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

At this time, Dong Yun was completely young, a small generation, and he had not even entered Zhuge Liang's "Talent Reserve Plan", in terms of identity, status, and merit, whether it was Zhang Xi or Kou Feng, they were not even better than him.

Especially Zhang Xi, who is obviously the core figure of Liu Bei's group, and Dong Yun's father, Dong He, is only working as a secretary under Zhuge Liang until now.

It's just that such a person came to visit in person and said a bunch of things to himself, as if he wanted to entrust Kou Feng to himself, Dong Yun felt a little flattered.

If you don't rush anything else, just ask Zhang Xi to ask yourself so much today, if Kou Feng really offends himself in the future, he will not worry about Kou Feng.

After doing these things, Zhang Xi continued to set off with a little peace of mind, and in mid-May, together with Xu Shu, arrived in Nanzheng, Hanzhong.

After meeting Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, Xu Shu and Zhang Xi temporarily stayed in the pavilion and waited to participate in the military conference.

Xu Shu and Zhang Xi were really not the last to arrive, when they arrived, Zhuge Liang had just set off from Chengdu.

There is no way, Hanzhong won the first battle, Liu Bei certainly benefited the most, but in Chengdu, there are also a lot of various interests to deal with, Zhuge Liang really can't get out of it for a while.

After finally arranging all affairs, Zhuge Liang got up and went to Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang didn't know, this military conference couldn't be held in advance, so Xu Shu and Zhang Xi stayed in the pavilion, and while waiting for the military conference to be held, they also took the opportunity to appreciate the style of Hanzhong.

Well, as a result. Spellbound.

The confrontation had just ended in February, and Liu Bei had to send troops to take over the counties, and it was already late March for Hanzhong to really take control, and it was only a little more than a month now.

After more than a year of fighting, many places are quite dilapidated, and the fields are completely deserted, and Liu Bei has enough time to rest, and even because of the serious shortage of population in Hanzhong, the people of Hanzhong spring ploughing cannot be organized, where is there anything to see.

Just stay in the pavilion and wait for Zhuge Liang to arrive in Hanzhong.

But it's not boring, Xu Shu and Zhang Xi are already very chatty, plus Pang Tong will come over to visit from time to time, complain and chat, and the small life goes by quite quickly.

Sometimes Zhang Xi is also in a trance, the two people in front of him, one was supposed to be an official on Cao Wei's side, and the other was almost a meter high, but now they got together and drank and chatted with themselves.

It's amazing.

Anyway, after staying like this for more than half a month, Zhuge Liang finally rushed from Chengdu to Hanzhong.

Now, the military conference can officially begin.
