Yuan Xi looked back at the people who were shivering from the cold and nodded.

So they got on their horses and went to the city.

When passing by the guard just now, Yuan Xi said, "Put him on death row." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately softened, and then shouted, "Your Excellency, spare your life." ”

The young general immediately ordered: "Come, put the king egg on death row." Suddenly, the group of soldiers who were still surrounding Yuan Xi just now tied up the guards and escorted them inside.

The young general walked ahead, cautious all the way, and did not dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

There was a heavy snow in the city, and everyone walked all the way to the county guard's mansion, but there was no sound except for the sound of horses' hooves.

Yuan Xi was actually not as angry as he seemed in his heart, because he knew that this matter could not be avoided, and it was also a common thing in the world for the guard dog to look down on people just now, but this did not prevent him from sentencing him to death, just as it did not prevent the guard dog from looking down on people.

Since he was hit by himself today, he can only be considered unlucky, no wonder anyone. More importantly, from this incident, he saw the disadvantages of appointing the officials left behind in the past.

The county guard's mansion, Yuan Xi and his entourage sat in the hall drinking hot tea, Yuan Xi looked a little serious outside, but after there were no outsiders here, he looked kind, loose and tight, neither let people feel bad about deep friendship, but also did not feel that there was no majesty, but in front of his subordinates, achieved good results.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a middle-aged man in his forties hurried over, and with a slight glance, Chen Gong's cold sweat appeared densely on his forehead.

He often went to Jixian County, Yanguo to report on his work, so he naturally knew what Yuan Xi was like, but he didn't expect the news to be passed down from above, so he asked him to be careful, or let himself be encountered.

He thought about it, and it didn't seem that he had done anything wrong except for the city gate, but there was no excuse for the crime he wanted to add, and Chen Gong still said tremblingly: "Humble to meet the lord." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Chen Gong, let me ask you, you can't ride a horse at the city gate, but you gave the order?" “

Chen Gong was slightly relieved, and said with his chin bowed: "Yes, lord." ”

"Let me ask you, ordinary people and officials are not allowed to carry weapons, is it your order?"

Chen Gong was stunned, but still said, "Yes, lord." ”

"Bang!" Yuan Xi slapped the table violently and said angrily: "Then let me ask you, who allowed your son to go out of the city quickly, carrying a bow and arrows?" ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then fell to his knees with a "poof", and said in fear: "The lord spared my son's life." ”

Yuan Xi stood up, walked in front of him, slowed down his tone, and said lightly: "Originally, I saw that you were well governed, so I left you behind, but I didn't expect to let me find out about this kind of thing, I will give you two choices now, and you can do it yourself." ”

Chen Gong felt sad in his heart, but he still said in a low voice: "Yes, lord." ”

"One, you have been demoted from the county guard to the county magistrate, I can spare your son's life, and second, you have killed your relatives in righteousness, and I will let you continue to serve as the Taishou of Fanyang County."

Chen Gong thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill, and I am willing to be demoted to the county magistrate." "He knew that not demoting him to civilian status was already preferential treatment.

Although this matter is not a big deal, but he was bumped into by himself, and he can only consider himself unlucky, but there is no resentment in his heart. He is still very clear about some of the ways in the officialdom.

Yuan Xi was a little more satisfied, it seems that this Chen Gong is not hopeless.

However, Fanyang County is the entrance to Youzhou from outside, and he is ready to send people he trusts to come over and rebuild this place, and Chen Gong can only be this scapegoat. When the time comes, when the territory is bigger, it will be good to re-promote him.

Yuan Xi and his entourage rested for a day in Fanyang County, and the next day they took a good carriage and continued to rush to Jixian County, Yanguo.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the road was very difficult to walk, and like his first time, this little distance took more than ten days on the road to finally reach Jixian County.

Looking at the high city, Yuan Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Hurry up and hurry to the gate of the city.

After entering the city, Yuan Xi summoned everyone to come to the pastoral mansion for a meeting.

Mi Zhu was already in Youzhou at this time, as for Mi Fang, who was originally a talent who led the troops, it was somewhat unreasonable for him to follow Mi Zhu behind, seeing the two coming together, Yuan Xi discussed with everyone for a while, and then said: "Mi Fang, I promoted you to the Taishou of Fanyang County, and when Xue Ji arrives, you will set off to Fanyang County to take office." ”

Mi Fang didn't expect that she would have such treatment, and nodded happily at the moment. As for whether it snows or not, it doesn't matter anymore, he plans to go to Fanyang County to take up his post as soon as the meeting is dismissed.

Although it is easy to do things in Jixian County, it is more comfortable to have your own real power to control a county. Therefore, Mi Fang was full of gratitude to Yuan Xi in her heart.

Everyone has no opinion, Yuan Xi has never made any big mistakes in appointing people, and they are still very relieved.

Then Yuan Xi introduced Xu Shu to everyone, as for Huang Yueying, she is not qualified to participate in such a meeting at all, and it is good to send her directly to take office when the time comes, and sometimes, it is much better not to say things than to say them.

At least others can pretend not to know.

After introducing Xu Shu, Yuan Xi directly appointed Xu Shu as the Youzhou Bing Cao, and the previous Bing Cao was engaged in Tai Shici, and was transferred to the head of Jixian County's defense, and concurrently served as the commander of the Marksman Corps.

These official positions appointed by Yuan Xi were not based on Han officials, such as Xu Shu's soldiers, Yuan Xi added that he could be in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and was responsible for regulating all the defenses of Youzhou.

That is to say, all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, Xu Shu and Yuan Xi each hold a token, as long as the two tokens are combined, they can be transferred to all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou.

This right is not insignificant, even Xu Shu himself was frightened, and everyone also asked Yuan Xi to think twice.

Yuan Xi pulled Xu Shu's arm and said with a smile: "I can invite you from thousands of miles away, and I will definitely reuse you, Yuan Zhi, don't postpone it, the stability of my Youzhou depends on you." ”

Yuan Xi spoke sincerely, Xu Shu could naturally hear it, and he must be loyal to him at the moment.

Yuan Xi naturally nodded frequently with satisfaction, for this kind of talent, what he wants is his heartheart, giving birth to a feeling of death for a confidant.

Moreover, Xu Shu's loyalty, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, which is one of the reasons why he dares to delegate power so much.

After listening to everyone's debriefing, Yuan Xi was generally satisfied, although Youzhou suffered heavy snowfall, but the people and soldiers from all over the country were united, but there was nothing wrong.

But Yuan Xi also knows that the main reason is that the people from all sides of his faction are all capable and practical talents, and a small Youzhou is naturally not a problem.

In this way, Youzhou's civilian team added another Mi Zhu, so that there are judges, Cai Yong, Mi Zhu, Xu Miao, Zhang Zhao, and Yuan An.
