After learning about Han Sui's incident, Zhou Shen's self-isolation also ended.

He left the main general's tent, carrying a knife and glaring, as if he wanted to slaughter Han Sui on the spot, so as to prove that he was not a straw bale, but a man of courage.

Although this practice is also a unique behavior of straw bales in Liu Bei's opinion.

Liu Bei dissuaded him and told him that the matter of slaughtering Han Sui would be handed over to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Because Han Sui and others violated the right Fufeng and disturbed the tombs of the first emperors of the Han Dynasty, the crime was extremely heinous, and His Majesty the Emperor must personally solve them, so as to "comfort the ancestors".

Zhou Shen suddenly realized, put down the knife, and said that Liu Bei still thought more.

Then Zhou Shen began to praise Liu Bei's military exploits, and praised Liu Bei, who praised Liu Bei, he was a little embarrassed, and then Zhou Shen's words changed, and what he said began to be a little interesting.

"This time Xuande has made several great contributions, such a credit will inevitably be rewarded, Xuande is already the Marquis of the Governor Kangting, I guess, this time Xuande can at least be promoted to the township marquis, if His Majesty favors him, the county marquis is also possible."

"If this is the case, then it is the grace of the Son of Heaven and the blessing of the ancestors."

Liu Bei smiled.

Zhou Shen also smiled.

"Naturally, the title is not the most important, the most important thing is the official position, Xuande served in Shangshutai before, and then transferred to the cavalry captain, in order to capture the flag and turn the tide of the war, Xuande thinks that he can get any position?"

That's a real problem.

According to Liu Hong's previous explanation to Liu Bei, he seems to have taken a fancy to Liu Bei's ability to handle government affairs and solve troubles, and wants to keep Liu Bei by his side, handle specific affairs for him in Shangshutai, and share his worries, so he belongs to the civil service.

But Liu Bei has now made very important military achievements, and it is no longer meaningful to continue to be promoted in Shangshutai, and the highest-level Shangshu Ling is only a position of 1,000 stones, which is the same level as the county order of the big county.

Liu Bei's military exploits are at least worthy of the position of 2,000 stones, which generally belong to Jiuqing, county guards, and generals

So Liu Bei really didn't know what Liu Hong had in mind.

However, according to the previous practice, Liu Bei thought that Liu Hong would talk to him before the specific appointment and understand his thoughts a little.

This is a good habit of Liu Hong, which belongs to valuing himself, so he is more willing to consider his own ideas and respect others.

Although this guy is greedy, he is still very interesting to the people he trusts when it comes to being a leader.

But speaking of which, Liu Bei has also thought a lot about this matter.

No matter whether he is released from the outside world or retained in office at the Central Committee, he must not deviate from his current established line, that is, he will set the inevitable chaos within a controllable range, and he cannot let the chaos directly go beyond control and become a chaotic world.

There can be chaos, and troubled times are not the situation that Liu Bei wants to see.

By now, Liu Bei has determined his goal, that is, to seek control of the central government of Luoyang after Liu Hong's death, to seek control of the supreme power in the dangerous process of wrestling with eunuchs, relatives, and scholars, and to physically surpass those dross.

Liu Hong will eventually die, and his two sons are not very old and are not yet able to govern themselves, and whoever can win that political struggle will be able to obtain real central power.

And in order to obtain such power, it is not enough to have fame and strength, but also to have tangible and convincing results.

In this way, we can somewhat reduce some of the difficulties in the early stage of ascendancy, and more subduing other forces that cannot be eradicated for a while and a half.

In order to achieve such results, the best way is to get a chance to govern the party before Liu Hong's death, and to govern the local government properly, so as to prove that he has enough ability to govern the local government and be able to take charge of the situation on his own.

In this way, even if you don't have an advantage in your age, you can still conquer the hearts of some people who don't crave chaos with practical results.

And in doing so, you can also take the opportunity to cultivate the forces that you have drawn together, experience it, determine a distinction between upper and lower levels, and prepare for taking over the Luoyang Imperial Court in the future.

Whether it is your own military team or political team, you also need a formal occasion to experience and be familiar with the ruling process.

In the final analysis, the political struggle between the modern literary school and the ancient literary school has entered a stage of regularization, and Yang Ci's body seems to be very problematic.

At such a stage, it doesn't matter if you stay in Luoyang, if you stay in Luoyang and continue to do things, the literary school will collapse in blood.

As long as Liu Hong can return to Luoyang through operation before his death, it is enough.

After determining this future plan, Liu Bei realized that the biggest problem now is how to persuade Liu Hong's side and how to convey to Liu Hong the idea that he wants to be in charge.

With his current position in Liu Hong's heart, it is estimated that Liu Hong is willing to make himself a heavy general, and he is not very willing to let him leave

There has to be a legitimate reason to get by, a legitimate reason that Liu Hong can't ignore.

Moreover, it is also a question of how to choose the region in charge and how to obtain specific positions.

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

"These things mainly depend on how the court and His Majesty view them, and I still obey the arrangements of the court and His Majesty."

Zhou Shen listened and smiled.

"Xuande has made such a great contribution, the court and His Majesty will definitely think about it more, I can just wait for Xuande to be in a high position and get closer to him."

The meaning of Zhou Shen's words is very clear, and it is not difficult to guess at all.

But you, the guy who even cut off half of my life-saving army, are you talking to me about this now, are you not impressed with this?

Liu Beiqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and smiled at Zhou Shen.

"That's for sure."

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Shen was very happy and laughed.

After laughing, Zhou Shen seemed to have some emotion about the current situation.

"Although we have won this battle and inflicted heavy losses on the rebels, in my opinion, the rebels have not yet reached the time of destruction, and the huge Qiang and Hun rebels still exist, and it is extremely difficult to destroy them in a war."

Liu Bei nodded slowly.

"The rebel lair in Jincheng County has not yet been conquered, and the Qiang and Xiongnu people in Longxi County have only temporarily retreated, and their vitality has not been greatly damaged, plus many Qiang tribes further west, as well as the natives with bad intentions, a victory can only stabilize the situation slightly, and then, it may take a long time to adjust."

"yes."

Zhou Shen said with a smile: "Liangzhou, it stands to reason that it should not be a desolate place, when Emperor Xiaowu spent so much effort to open up Liangzhou and the Western Regions, the intention should be very far-reaching, if Liangzhou can be governed well, it will also be very beneficial to the Han Dynasty."

It's a pity that since this dynasty, there are few days when Liangzhou can be governed well, the Qiang people and Huns in Liangzhou, as well as those miscellaneous Hu, do not obey discipline, and oppose the Han officials everywhere, the court is harmed by this, and there is really no patience for Liangzhou.

I am not optimistic about the future of Liangzhou, the imperial court is not willing to spend time in Liangzhou, but if you don't spend money, Liangzhou will not be well governed, so that the situation in Liangzhou will only become more and more chaotic day by day, even if our army wins a big victory this time, within ten years, there will be chaos in Liangzhou. ”

Zhou Shen is the speaker has no intention, but Liu Bei is the listener.

The imperial court doesn't care about Liangzhou.

The imperial court hated Liangzhou.

The imperial court was very disgusted by the constant wars in Liangzhou.

The imperial court did not want to spend more money and thought on Liangzhou.

The imperial court was even ready to abandon Liangzhou twice, and there were even many people who supported it.

The people of Liangzhou are second-class citizens in the entire Han Dynasty, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods of the Luoyang court have no core interests in Liangzhou, and they have nothing to do with the people of Liangzhou, and even have anything to do with the people of Liangzhou in their opinion.

Although Liu Hong, a guy who loves money like his life, does not want to give up Liangzhou, he is obviously not very willing to continue to spend too much money for Liangzhou, and his disgust for Liangzhou is overflowing, if it were not for the Liangzhou Gongwei Sanfu Emperor's Mausoleum, he would not have sent troops to fight at all.

So ·

Liangzhou ......

Liangzhou !!

A bold idea gradually took shape in Liu Bei's mind.
