For Liangzhou, Liu Bei didn't dare to say that he knew it very well, but at least, he knew more than some people who didn't know how to pretend to understand.

He won't be shy and say, "No one knows Liangzhou better than me", but he is willing to know more about Liangzhou.

"I don't understand it very well, and I don't understand it at all."

Liu Bei said slowly: "There is a person named Dong Huang among my subordinates, he is from Liangzhou, and he has told me a lot of things related to Liangzhou, including the fact that many people in Liangzhou live in a very bad situation, from the old man to the young, from men to women, they can not study, but they can't not practice the battle formation."

Because their lives are in danger at every turn, they must become familiar with the ways of fighting, so that they can have the strength to fight when bandits, bandits, and foreign rebels come, which is a last resort to survive.

So this reminds me of the former Song Xiao of Liangzhou Thorn History, he can actually give that kind of strategy, really, Gai Fujun, I don't know what you think, after I heard it, I really wanted to open his head and see if there were any brains in it. ”

Liu Bei laughed, Gai Xun also laughed, laughing and laughing, Gai Xun burst into tears, and then his face became extremely fierce, and he slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

"What Xuande said is also what I thought, that bastard said that kind of thing in front of me, I really want to kill him on the spot! It's true! ”

Liu Bei sighed.

"They grew up in inland states and counties, and they have been peaceful and stable since childhood, with fine clothes and food, without any crisis, and they take it for granted that everyone is like this, but whenever they meet people who are miserable, they will think that they must have done something wrong, otherwise they will never fall into such a situation.

But they never thought that if it weren't for the Liangzhou people who stopped the Qianghu, horse bandits, and strongmen, if it weren't for the Liangzhou people who fought with them day and night, so that men, women, and children were all soldiers, where would they have a stable life?

But they never thought about gratitude, but as always, they thought that this was something they were born with, and it was given to them by God, and they didn't pay any attention to the people of Liangzhou who were suffering in suffering, but they just hated and despised Liangzhou as always. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Gai Xun burst into tears and couldn't cry.

Then he got up directly, walked in front of Liu Bei, grabbed Liu Bei's hand with both hands, and the big man tightly put Liu Bei's hand on his heart.

"What Xuande said is what I want to say in my heart! I dreamed of hearing that someone in the Ruoyang Imperial Court could speak out like this, but for decades, no one had ever said it! Now that Xuande is a word, I just want to cry! ”

Liu Bei looked at Gai Xun and cried like a tearful man, it was impossible to say that he didn't feel it in his heart.

But he was more than happy.

Because the central faction in Liangzhou is basically dead set on the Luoyang court, there is not much left of it.

Most of the rest are local separatists who have little hope for the Luoyang court, and they just want to live their own lives, and they have no sense of belonging to the Luoyang court.

Even people like Gai Xun can't help but feel chilled by this situation, let alone others?

After crying for a while, Gai Xun collected his emotions and asked Liu Bei not to be surprised, and then told Liu Bei some of the content of the conversation with Zhang Wen before, and Liu Bei told Gai Xun some of the content of the previous conversation with Zhou Shen.

Gai Xun was worried about this.

"What General Zhou said is true, even if this campaign is won, it is just a solution to the urgent need, and the more critical problem has not been solved, if the imperial court does not properly govern Liangzhou, Liangzhou will rebel again! The next time the scale will be even bigger than now! There will be more rebels! ”

"But Gaifujun, I can say very responsibly that after this battle, the imperial court will not make any policy improvements to Liangzhou, let alone an extra five-baht coin for this."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Meat eaters are despised, they can't plan far, the struggle between the modern literature school and the ancient literature school within the court is very fierce, this is the most important thing in the current imperial court, Liangzhou, is not in their eyes." ”

Gai Xun hated it.

"Liangzhou! Isn't it the Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty! ”

Liu Bei was silent for a while, looking at Gai Xun's increasingly painful appearance, he felt that it was almost the same.

"Gai Fujun, there is something I don't know if to talk about or not."

Gai Xun looked up.

"Xuande, please speak up."

"After this battle, I will return to Luoyang to operate, and strive for my own position as Liangzhou pastor."

"Liangzhou Mu?"

Gai Xun was stunned for a moment, and then was surprised: "Xuande, is this true?" ”

"Seriously."

Liu Bei nodded: "Although my military merits are very high, my qualifications as an official are still shallow, especially without experience on the ruling side, which is very unfavorable for my future promotion, I need experience on the ruling side, in order to prove my governance ability, Liangzhou, is my best choice." ”

"But...... Xuande, I don't doubt your ability, and your credit is enough, but Ling's age is indeed not very old. ”

Gai Xun thought about it again and again, and hesitated: "With your age and qualifications, at least you have to start from the Taishou, and it is not easy to become a county Taishou, let alone a state pastor?" The weight of the state pastor is not easily set by the imperial court. ”

"It's impossible in other states, only Liangzhou is different."

Liu Bei said slowly: "Liangzhou's registered household registration, more than 500,000, this is the population of ten counties, and it can't even catch up with a county in Kanto, and with Liangzhou's status in the eyes of the Luoyang Imperial Court, Gaifujun thinks that this is really impossible?" ”

Gai Xun was stunned on the spot, thinking about it repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Liu Bei said made sense.

With the population size and chaotic situation of Liangzhou, the Luoyang Imperial Court didn't want to spend more energy here at all, they didn't even want Liangzhou, they all wanted to expel Liangzhou from the Han nationality, where would they care who would manage Liangzhou?

At most, they don't want to deal with it after they send a thorn or a state pastor, they just hope that Liangzhou can be stable and not make trouble, and that is enough.

Under such circumstances, it is the best choice to send a person with excellent military ability and sufficient prestige out of Liangzhou, and hand over all the responsibilities to him, and all the responsibilities to him, and the Luoyang court can be exchanged for a relaxed body.

According to the rules of the Three Mutual Law, Liu Bei himself and his relatives of the three clans have been unable to fight together with the Liangzhou Eight Poles for three generations, which is pure and has no relationship, and fully meets the rigid conditions for serving as an official in Liangzhou.

Then the only thing worth discussing is whether the imperial court is willing to set up a Liangzhou pastor in Liangzhou and completely hand Liangzhou into the hands of one person.

At present, there is only one state pastor in the world, and that is Jizhou Mu Lu Zhi, Liu Bei's teacher.

And if Liu Bei wants to seek the position of Liangzhou pastor, it is not without precedent to pursue.

However, the power of the state pastor is too heavy, he holds the power of the military, political and financial affairs, completely overrides the county guard, and is the master of a state, unless the imperial court has an urgent need, it will not be easily set up, and even if it is set, it will not be easy to choose an inexperienced person to take this position.

However, these restrictions are placed on Liangzhou, a special state that is on the edge of the rules of the political game, and the object is Liu Bei, a person with a special status, so there are completely different rules of judgment.

Gai Xun thought about it, but he really couldn't make a judgment on Liu Bei's behavior of seeking the position of Liangzhou pastor, and he really didn't know whether this was possible.

If you can't figure it out, then you don't want to, Gai Xun has a little understanding of Liu Bei's reputation and Liu Bei's status, but after all, he is not an official in Luoyang, and he doesn't know how Liu Bei will operate this matter, so he simply doesn't discuss it.

He instead discussed with Liu Bei what degree of policy reform he would make in Liangzhou if he really became the pastor of Liangzhou.
