King Zhurong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said: "Shizi, Lao Yu is such a daughter, and now she is also at the age of marriage, if your marriage book is counted, Lao Yu is naturally willing to leave her in Chengdu, if not, please ......."

Liu Chan's face was a little embarrassed, coughed and said: "This matter is my own opinion, but it is an expedient measure to win over the barbarian king, and the marriage needs to be decided by the parents......"

King Zhurong sighed, looking like I knew this was the case.

Liu Chan continued: "But I believe in the sincerity of King Zhurong, it is okay not to leave protons, and Princess Shui Luoyi can follow ......"

"The son of the world is not allowed!" Liu Ba arched his hand and said: "Since ancient times, vassals have to send quality to show their loyalty, this is the rule, and the etiquette cannot be abolished!" ”

When King Zhurong saw Liu Ba's objection, he was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The truth of sending hostages King Zhurong understands that this is the easiest and most direct way to prove loyalty, leaving a hostage in the hands of others, if you dare to rebel, this hostage will definitely not survive.

It's just that Shui Luoyi is the only daughter of King Zhurong, and she is his heart, and he is really reluctant to leave Shui Luoyi in Chengdu.

Seeing King Zhurong like this, Liu Ba smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this, the marriage really needs the lord to be the master." Now that the lord is in Hanzhong, he will come back in the last half a year, so it is better for you to leave Princess Shui Luoyi in Chengdu, if the lord comes back and is satisfied with the princess, it will naturally be good. If the lord is not satisfied, then send Princess Shui Luoyi back to Nanzhong and reunite your father and daughter, which will be fine. ”

Liu Ba's idea is actually very simple, he does not doubt King Zhurong's sincerity towards the Han Dynasty, he is just worried that if King Zhurong returns to Nanzhong without scruples, he will be bewitched by others again.

If Shui Luoyi is left in Chengdu as a hostage, then no one can bewitch him.

And Liu Ba doesn't need Shui Luoyi to stay in Chengdu as a hostage, just wait until Liu Bei comes back, after Liu Bei comes back, even if you Zhurong King dares to rebel, what kind of storm can you set off?

"That's okay!" Listening to Liu Ba's words, King Zhurong's eyes lit up, looked at Shui Luoyi and said, "Daughter, are you willing to stay in Chengdu?" ”

After experiencing the rebellion of King Meng Huo, King Zhurong has become a complete pro-Han faction, and he did not dare to rebel if he was given a hundred dares.

Liu Chan led a group of unknown young generals, and a little trick could easily defeat his tens of thousands of coalition troops. If Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the world-famous fierce generals dealt with him, King Zhurong would not dare to think about it.

Although he took refuge in Liu Chan, King Zhurong was still a little afraid that Liu Bei would settle accounts after he returned.

It would be great if they could get married.

Liu Bei won't even beat his own daughter-in-law, right?

"It's all up to my father!" Shui Luoyi's face blushed, and he lowered his head and said softly.

King Zhurong nodded, and arched his hand towards Liu Chan and said, "Shizi, I am willing to leave my daughter in Chengdu as a hostage, and ask Shizi to help take good care of her." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Since King Zhurong is willing, I won't say anything, don't worry, I won't let Princess Shui Luoyi be wronged." ”

"Thank you, Shizi!" King Zhurong arched his hand and said: "The barbarian soldiers still need to be rectified, and the prince still has important matters to discuss, so I will leave first!" ”

After King Zhurong left, Liu Chan continued to discuss affairs with a group of civil and military personnel.

Although it had been decided to form the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion and let Li Hui serve as the Governor of Nanzhong, the political office, specific responsibilities, the strength of the Governor's Mansion, the source of soldiers, and the adjutants of the Governor's Mansion had to be properly discussed.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally came to a result.

Liu Chan finally announced: "The governor of Nanzhong is responsible for the overall management of military and political affairs in Nanzhong, and befriends the surrounding barbarians. As for the Nanzhong Metropolitan Governor's Office, it was established in Pingyi County, Yizhou County. ”

Pingyi County is located in the northern part of Yizhou County, and its location is relatively in the center of Chengdu and Nanzhong, rather than in the center of Nanzhong.

If there is a major incident in Nanzhong, it will be reported to the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion first, and the Nanzhong Governor's Office will solve it on the one hand, and report it to Chengdu on the other, so that the problems that arise in Nanzhong can be quickly solved, and Chengdu will not lose its control over the locality.

If the Governor of Nanzhong is set up in the center of Nanzhong, then the power of the Governor will be too large, and it is easy for the Governor to support the army and respect himself, thus weakening the central government's control over the localities.

Liu Chan continued: "Previously, you elected more than a dozen followers, Li Hui, you can take them to office and form the Governor's Mansion. ”

"No!" Li Hui gave up his hand to take the order.

Liu Chan did not give Li Hui the right to open the mansion to recruit talents, and he couldn't do this.

Liu Chan paused and continued: "The Nanzhong Governor's Mansion is temporarily in charge of 3,000 soldiers and horses, in response to the unexpected, the previous Yonghong, Zhu Bao rebelled, and more than 10,000 powerful private soldiers surrendered under his command, Deng Ai, Liu Yin, the two of you are responsible for assisting Li Hui, and among these people, select 3,000 people who are strong and strong, innocent, and have good conduct, thinking that the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion will rule the soldiers and horses.

The remaining more than 10,000 people will be sent to the quartermaster department to serve as conscription. ”

The crowd once again gave up their hands: "No! ”

Liu Chan said to Dong He: "Sir, regarding the appointment documents of the Taishou of the four counties of Nanzhong, please issue it as soon as possible, so that the major Taishou can take control of the Nanzhong regime as soon as possible when Nanzhong is strong and defeated." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Chan looked at Huang Quan again and said, "Mr. Gongheng, please write a book for me and send it to my father and second uncle, informing him of the current situation in Chengdu, so as not to worry them." ”

"Yes!" Huang Quan gave up his order.

Then everyone went down to take care of their business.

Dong He, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Jiang Wan and others walked out of the hall together, Dong He's eyes were full of relief, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "The prince is young and gentle, and he handles government affairs, but he is vigorous and resolute, without any ambiguity, even better than the lord...... And even more, this is really the gospel of my great man. ”

Liu Bei was born recklessly, and his political ability is actually not very good, just because he was born poor, understands the suffering of the people, and knows the importance of the people, so he loves the people and can win the love of the people.

After this period of study, coupled with the knowledge that later generations knew, Liu Chan's political ability was no worse than Liu Bei's.

"This Nanzhong Governor is indeed well established!" Liu Ba is a noble person, and he used to look down on Liu Bei, but in the face of Liu Chan, he was not stingy with praise.

Jiang Wan sighed and said: "The prince is young, so he has this talent to learn, but yesterday's cooking was a little ......."

Liu Baxin said bluntly: "I don't think there is anything, you should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, sometimes you can't be too benevolent and righteous, you should be decisive when you are the master." ”

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

They knew in their hearts that the reason why Liu Ba was reluctant to take refuge in Liu Bei in the past and avoided his solicitation several times was because Liu Ba felt that Liu Bei was hypocritical and too hypocritical. Yesterday, Liu Chan killed Meng Shu ruthlessly and decisively, but he had quite an appetite for Liu Ba.
