No matter what Chen Yi's character is, the ability is indeed there, with the help of Chen Yi and Jiang Wan, two masters of internal affairs, plus Ma Yan, who stayed in Chang'an after completing the task of taking soldiers, Zhang Xi's subordinates finally have enough manpower.

Although more than 200 officials who have just joined the ranks are "novices", the current conditions are like this, and they can only catch ducks on the shelves.

In this way, Liu Bei officially issued an edict and ordered Zhang Xi's former general, the title of secretary of the military department, to record the history of the Yongzhou assassination, and officially act as the military and political affairs of Yongzhou.

After Zhang Xi was ordered, Jiang Wan and Chen Yi were appointed as the left and right governors of Yongzhou, Ma Tan was appointed to join the army, and Liu Yin was appointed as the Taishou of the Right Fufeng County, supplemented by Zhang Yi, Zhou Tai, and Zhuge Qian as the county leader, and Hu Fen was appointed as the left Fengyi County Taishou, supplemented by Jufu, Li Qiu, and Zhao Lei as the county leader, and governed the place.

By the way, Wang Shuang, because he is good at rushing into battle, has been valued by Wei Yan, and he deliberately played it as General Fenwu, and stayed by Wei Yan's side to listen to Wei Yan probably because he felt that there was such a number one person who dared to take a risk under his command, which was very much to his taste.

As for the two generals of Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin, they were left by Liu Bei and included in the Northern Army sequence, one was promoted to General Dangkou, and the other was General Yangwu, both under the command of Wu Yi, the general of the Northern Army.

All in all, today's Yongzhou has formed a very strange operating system.

In terms of government affairs, it was the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion headed by Zhang Xi who was in charge of the implementation of the entire Yongzhou government affairs, while militarily, it was still a complete set of command systems of the Northern Expeditionary Army headed by Liu Bei who were responsible for the operation.

In fact, as everyone knows, this is just a temporary measure.

Liu Bei has no plan to move the capital to Chang'an immediately for the time being, so sooner or later, Liu Bei will still return to Chengdu, and at that time, Yongzhou will become a border state, and naturally the military and government will be in the same office.

Judging from Liu Bei's current arrangement, if nothing else, Zhang Xi should be the candidate to take over the Yongzhou Assassin History. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not have had to let Zhang Xi personally build the framework of the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion.

Even, Zhang Xi may become the first local assassin in Ji Han to really hold real power.

The Han Dynasty currently occupies a total of four states, but in the real sense, there is no one who holds the real power of the state assassin.

The history of Jingzhou is Wang Ji, but the real military and political power is actually in the hands of the general Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's general's mansion is the core department that governs Jingzhou.

The situation of Yizhou is special, the capital of the Han Dynasty is located, and the history of the Yizhou Thorn is concurrently held by Zhuge Liang in the Zhongshu Order, but for Zhuge Liang, his official position in charge of the government has to be the Zhongshu Order, and the Yizhou Thorn History is just a part-time honorary title for him.

The assassin of Liangzhou is Xu Miao, but the person who is really in charge of the military and political affairs of Liangzhou is General Wei Zhao Yun, and under Zhao Yun there is also Captain Pang De. Xu Miao can only be responsible for managing government affairs and assisting Zhao Yun.

Only in Yongzhou, Liu Bei has not officially established the Yongzhou Thorn History Department.

During the first Northern Expedition, Liu Bei had laid down the northern counties of Yongzhou demarcated by Cao Wei, that is, Tianshui, Longxi and other counties, but if it is divided according to the administrative division of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact, these places belong to Liangzhou, and Liu Bei naturally cannot recognize the administrative division of Cao Wei.

However, because during the first Northern Expedition, Ma Chao did contribute a lot and had to be rewarded and appeased, so Liu Bei deliberately ignored the division of ownership, and when Zhao Yun led the military administration of Liangzhou, he did not return Tianshui and other counties to Liangzhou, but maintained the status quo.

The Yongzhou counties to which Cao Wei belonged to Tianshui were governed by Ma Chao, while the Liangzhou counties such as Wuwei were governed by Zhao Yun.

At that time, Guanzhong Sanfu was not in his hands, and without these essence areas, even if the state and county belonged to a clear division, it was actually meaningless, so it survived in such an unknown way.

But now that the Guanzhong Sanfu area has been captured, and the essence of Yongzhou has been obtained, it is inevitable to establish the Yongzhou Thorn History Department, and Liu Bei will most likely make some adjustments.

And once Liu Bei returns to Chengdu, it is very likely that Zhang Xi will be left in charge of Yongzhou alone.

First of all, Zhang Xi's qualifications and prestige are sufficient.

If Zhang Xi is appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou, and at the same time, a mother-in-law is added to Zhang Xi's head, unless Liu Bei puts Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang into Yongzhou, otherwise in terms of qualifications and prestige, no one in Liu Bei's group is qualified to override Zhang Xi.

Even Fa Zheng and Pang Tong are not as good as Zhang Xi in terms of qualifications.

But it is obvious that it is impossible for Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang to stay in Yongzhou, and these two will definitely follow Liu Bei to guard the capital.

Secondly, in terms of ability, within Liu Bei's group, there are only two people around Liu Bei, one is Wei Yan and the other is Zhang Xi.

Obviously, whether it is from the comparison of government affairs ability or from the perspective of overall planning and coordination ability, it is not difficult to understand that Liu Bei chose Zhang Xi as the assassin of Yongzhou.

Again, Wei Yan has always been Zhang Xi's deputy before, if Liu Bei asks Zhang Xi to transfer people everywhere at this time, build the framework of the Yongzhou Assassin History Department, and then turn back and let Wei Yan replace Zhang Xi as the Yongzhou Assassin History, this will definitely not be convincing to the public.

I'm afraid that even Wei Yan didn't dare to follow this edict.

Therefore, in all probability, it is very likely that Zhang Xi will become the assassin of Yongzhou as before, leaving Wei Yan as Zhang Xi's deputy, and the two will defend Yongzhou together.

After all, the land of Yongzhou is not safe now, Wuguan and Tongguan are not in their hands, and the northeast and southeast directions need to be garrisoned, leaving Wei Yan to assist Zhang Xi, but it is a more secure measure.

As for whether this will cause Wei Yan's dissatisfaction. Liu Bei really didn't worry about this.

Wei Yan's popularity within Liu Bei Group is not good, and he looks at people with his nostrils to everyone. But Zhang Xi is an exception.

Although the relationship between these two people has not been very good, they have been working together for a long time, and they have been cooperating tacitly, and Zhang Xi is currently the only person who can persuade Wei Yan to cooperate with the action except for Liu Bei.

Putting Wei Yan under the hands of others as his deputy, Liu Bei still has to worry about it, but Liu Bei is really relieved to put Zhang Xi here.

That's it. Ma Chao from the four counties of Tianshui has to think of a way to appease him.

This is a troublesome question.

Liu Bei doesn't trust Ma Chao, that's for sure.

For so many years, Ma Chao has indeed been keeping to himself, staying honestly in Longxi County, and at most he is leading the troops to deter the surrounding Qiang soldiers, basically ignoring government affairs, and all government affairs are Tianshui County's Taishou Jiang Xu, Longxi County's Taishou You Chu and others are co-ordinating governance.

In the second Northern Expedition, Ma Chao also sent his brother Ma Dai to lead 10,000 Qiang Hu miscellaneous horsemen to fight, and he was also very loyal.

To tell the truth, Liu Bei's wariness of Ma Chao has indeed been put down a lot. But Liu Bei has never been able to completely reassure Ma Chao.

There's no way, what Ma Chao did in his early years was too embarrassing.

Ma Chao's experience of being self-reliant in Guanzhong, Liu Bei can forgive him, after all, the world was in chaos at that time, careerists were everywhere, and no one could blame anyone.

But the Han Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, Ma Chao knew that his father went to Yecheng to enjoy happiness, and under the control of Cao Cao, he actually launched a rebellion without hesitation, and even said to Han Sui, "Today Chao abandons his father, takes the general as his father, and the general should also abandon his son, and take Chao as his son." ”

This is a bit of a ruin of Liu Bei's three views.

This kind of person, Liu Bei first thought of a "capricious" villain in his early years, the same martial arts and bravery, the same first-class cavalry command ability, but his character is really disgusting, yes, he is talking about Lu Bu.

With such a "little Lu Bu" by his side, if it weren't for Ma Chao's better family background and greater influence in Qianghu Yongliang, Liu Bei really didn't want to use him.

Not to mention trusting him completely.

Therefore, in the early years, Liu Bei, in order to pacify Yizhou as soon as possible, pinched his nose and had to use Ma Chao, and he was not at ease with Ma Chao in his heart.

And now, although Liu Bei is a little relieved because of Ma Chao's performance, he still doesn't dare to fully trust him, this Yongzhou assassin history is definitely impossible for Ma Chao to do.

But if Ma Chao is not allowed to be the assassin of Yongzhou, there must be a reason to say the past, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the world.

After all, Ma Chao is the Great Han Hussar General personally appointed by Liu Bei, and he belongs to the highest rank among the generals. If Tianshui, Longxi and other counties are reclassified to Yongzhou or Liangzhou, what will Ma Chao do? !

You can't let Ma Chao, a hussar general, go to General Wei Zhao Yun, or even a lower-level former general Zhang Xi as a deputy, right?!

And over the years, Ma Chao has been keeping to himself, abiding by his duties as a courtier, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, although Ma Chao did not participate in the Northern Expedition this time, but Ma Dai still has merit, and the participation of Qianghu Miscellaneous Cavalry also has Ma Chao's credit in it, and it is not good to be too harsh.

If Ma Chao is treated too lightly, it will not only damage the law of the imperial court, but also damage the name of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, Liu Bei thought about it and finally decided to divide the three counties of Longxi, Tianshui and Guangwei as Qinzhou, appoint Jiang Xu as the assassin of Qinzhou, and the hussar general Ma Chao was in charge of Qinzhou's military affairs.

By the way, Ma Chao still does not have the right to fake festivals, he wants to send troops, he must go to the court, and he must also communicate with Jiang Xu, otherwise a logistics supply problem can kill Ma Chao.

As for whether Ma Chao is likely to rebel, Liu Bei has also considered this question.

But now, there is Zhang Xi guarding the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, Liangzhou north of Qinzhou has Zhao Yun, Wudu in the south, and Hanzhong is separated by a Qinling Mountains, and there is Fazheng guarding him Ma Chao Even if he wants to rebel, it is just looking for death.

Besides, as far as Ma Chao's popularity in Longxi, Tianshui, and Guangwei counties is concerned, even if he wants to rebel, he has to see if anyone is willing to help him.

No matter how bad Ma Chao is, he always has a sense of being a Han person. If he really ran to the west and went to the territory of the Qiang people to be powerful, at that time, not to mention Liu Bei, even the people of the world would look down on him.
