The soldiers went to convey the order, and in about a quarter of an hour, Guo Jia and Xun You arrived at the governor's mansion.

The two entered the hall one after the other, bowed to Wang Can, and sat down.

Xun You straightened his clothes and asked, "Lord, I am in a hurry to recruit you and Fengxiao to come, I don't know what happened?" ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "The news came from the scout just now, and it is indeed an urgent matter. Zhong Degong sent someone to say that Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang had returned from Chang'an and arrived in Hanzhong. However, Zhong Degong has already detained Liu Zhang and waited for the treatment plan. Although Liu Yan has died of illness, Yizhou is occupied by us, and Liu Zhang cannot pose a threat, as long as Liu Zhang is here, it is a time bomb that may cause fluctuations at any time. ”

"Time bomb?"

Xun You and Guo Jia raised their eyebrows and looked at each other, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.

Guo Jia was even more simply, and asked directly: "Lord, what is the time bomb you are talking about?" Jia is also well-read, and the three religions and nine streams are involved, which can be regarded as well-informed, why haven't you heard of what a 'time bomb' is, please solve your doubts. ”

Xun You also looked at Wang Can with blank eyes, waiting for Wang Can to say something to explain his doubts.

After Wang Can heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face. In this era, what is the time bomb? No one has ever heard of the term ticking time bomb.

Wang Can's brain turned quickly, and he said: "Fengxiao, the time bomb is something made by an outsider, and it can explode with great power at a certain time. Well, similar to Liu Zhang, if he is used after returning to Yizhou, it is likely to cause turmoil in Yizhou, and let Yizhou, which has just stabilized, fall into turmoil again...... I don't quite understand the meaning, but that's the idea. ”

Guo Jia seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and there was a puzzled look on his face.

Xun You listened to Wang Can's explanation, and he didn't know why.

However, the two of them heard Wang Can say that they didn't figure it out, so they didn't continue to ask.

Wang Can saw the expressions on the faces of the two, and also knew that the 'time bomb' was explained clearly, so he changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the time bomb." Liu Zhang's identity is sensitive and must be handled properly, the two of you are resourceful, both talk about how to deal with Liu Zhang. ”

"Click! Click! ”

Before he could finish speaking, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the hall.

An attendant from the governor's mansion quickly ran in and said, "My lord, the scout has arrived at the mansion and has an urgent matter. ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Let him in!" ”

The squire said 'no' and turned to leave. After a short time, I saw a scout with a small flag on his back, which belonged to the type of messenger that was 800 miles faster.

The scout quickly ran into the hall, bowed to Wang Can, knelt on one knee, and said, "Meet your lord!" ”

Wang Can asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The scout clenched his fists and said, "Lord Cheng Yu has a letter to give to your lordship." ”

As he spoke, the scout pulled a letter from his cuff and held it in his hand. Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly got up, stepped forward, took down the letter written by Cheng Yu to Wang Can, and handed it to Wang Can. Wang Can glanced at the envelope, which was sealed with vermilion lacquer and was intact. Seeing this, Wang Cancai raised his head and asked, "In addition to the envelope, is there anything else Cheng Yu wants you to tell you?" ”

After Wang Can occupied Chengdu, he moved his mansion to Chengdu, and Cai Yan, Diao Chan and other family members also rushed to Chengdu.

Only Cheng Yu stayed, still staying in Hanzhong, responsible for the operation of Hanzhong.

The scout shook his head and said, "This letter was added by Lord Cheng Yu, and there is nothing else. ”

Wang Can nodded and waved, and the scout turned to leave. He tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, read it carefully, and then raised his head and said slowly: "This letter is Zhong Degong's suggestion on how to deal with Liu Zhang, and there is nothing else important. Both of you will see if it is feasible and then discuss how to deal with Liu Zhang? ”

As he spoke, Wang Can raised his hand and handed the letter to Xun You for Xun You to read.

Xun You read the book at a glance and ten lines, and the speed was very fast, and after a while, he handed Cheng Yu's letter to Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia finished reading it, Wang Can asked, "What do you think of Zhong Degong's words?" ”

Xun You said: "My lord, Zhong Degong's words are obviously to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no trouble, and want to strangle Liu Zhang while the news of Liu Zhang's return to Yizhou has not spread." However, paper can't contain the fire after all, and in a short period of time, this matter will not spread, but one day, the news of the lord's killing of Liu Zhang will spread. Liu Zhang was killed by the lord, which was a big disadvantage for the lord. ”

Wang Can's expression was solemn and he said, "Gongda, you will tell me in detail." ，”

In fact, Wang Can still likes Cheng Yu's approach in his heart, killing Liu Zhang, and cutting the grass and roots.

When Liu Zhang died, after the little emperor got the news, he would see if the little emperor dared to send Liu Yan's other sons to Yizhou. Moreover, by killing Liu Zhang, Wang Can can also knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and knock Liu Xian, a relative of the emperor, so that he can understand that the current situation is not the Han family in charge, but the era of division and strife.

Xun You fiercely opposed, and Wang Can had to listen to Xun You's opinion.

Listening is clear, and partiality is dark.

Listening to the judgments of a few more people, Wang Can can better grasp the overall situation, weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice.

Xun You lifted his robe and said: "Lord, you think that killing Liu Zhang will cause four harms. ”

"First, Liu Zhang is the son of Liu Yan, who belongs to the royal family and has a special status. If the lord sent troops to kill Liu Zhang, it would be tantamount to directly opposing the Han family, which was a very unwise thing. Today, the people and scholars are still loyal to the Han family, and if the lord kills Liu Zhang, he will make the lord and the people of the world opposed, isolated, and in a dilemma. ”

"Second, if the two armies are at war, if they don't kill them, they won't be able to bring disaster to their wives and children. Liu Yan and the lord are opposed, and they are the great enemies of the lord, but Liu Zhang did not have a foot in it. Liu Zhang has been in Chang'an. Now returning to Yizhou, although everyone will know that Liu Zhang is preparing to inherit the Yizhou pastor. However, Liu Zhang's return to Yizhou can also be said to be to mourn Liu Yan, so he risked his return to Yizhou. In this case, if the lord kills an unarmed filial son, he will inevitably be scolded by the people, and the prestige and benevolence that the lord has just established will be destroyed. ”

Third, although Yizhou is calm, there are still many people who disobey the lord. For example, Jia Long, Ren Qi Yu, these hundred-year-old clans are all cunning rabbits, difficult to exterminate, even if the lord kills Jia Long and others, they still haven't eradicated the big trouble. If the lord kills Liu Zhang, they can use this as an excuse to create chaos and make the lord fall into a passive situation. ”

"Fourth, the lord has entered Yizhou, and there are many princes who are red-eyed. Such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, these people learned that the lord killed Liu Zhang, which was bound to add fuel to the fire and cause turmoil in Yizhou, and once a rebellion broke out in Yizhou, they could also profit from it. ”

Xun You took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The Lord is fair and has already occupied the general trend. What we need to do now is to recuperate, spread benevolence, train elite soldiers, strengthen defense, stabilize Yizhou, and manage Yizhou as solid as gold, which is the long-term way. The lord of the army is stationed in Yizhou, and when the world changes, he can wave his troops out of Shu and chase the Central Plains. ”

"However, now the situation is still relatively clear, what the lord needs is to lie dormant, do things in a low-key manner, and disappear from the sight of the princes, this is the way to develop and survive."

Xun You's words made Wang Can also change color in horror.

Liu Zhang, this person, can't be killed!

Xun You's words not only suggested that Wang Can not kill Liu Zhang, but also pointed out Wang Can's development strategy, which is somewhat similar to the development strategy of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty: accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become king.

It has to be said that the role of a top strategist is unimaginable.

Wang Can took a deep breath, and had already decided not to kill Liu Zhang.

With a turn of his eyes, Wang Can looked at Guo Jia again and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia Zhengse said: "Lord, Gongda said four, each of which is very exciting. Jia will not go into details, please decide the Lord. ”

Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Okay, Gongda's words are like an initiation, very exciting." Since Liu Zhang can't be killed, I won't kill Liu Zhang, anyway, Liu Zhang entered Yizhou with his attendants, and it was also in the palm of my hand, and he couldn't make waves, so let him be a caged bird, a rich man. ”

After a pause, Wang Can said again: "At present, there is one more matter, that is, the selection of low-level officials. Both the Yizhou clan and the Hanzhong clan have given their lists, and I am ready to select talented and diligent people from among these people to fill the official vacancies. ”

"This matter has been intensively planned, and it will be carried out in the near future."

"I plan to put the selected people at the bottom, starting from small officials or county orders."

"However, even with these people to fill the vacancies, there is still a shortage of mid-level officials, such as those at the county level, in Yizhou. There is a way that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. We have to fight Yizhou, and someone must govern it, although Zhong Degong and both of you have the ability to govern one side, but it is really overkill to let you go to shepherd one side. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit more talents to join Yizhou, do you have a way to do this? ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "My lord, you are in charge of Yizhou, why don't you stop recruiting people of insight on the recruitment list." Last time, because the official position of the lord was too small, and Liu Yan served as the pastor of Yizhou, it was difficult to recruit talents. ”

When Wang Can heard this, he nodded and said, "The words of filial piety are very reasonable. ”

Xun You arched his hand and said: "My lord, recruiting talents from Yizhou is enough to fill the vacancy." Now that Yizhou has temporarily stabilized, it is impossible for a war to break out in a short period of time. Therefore, if you want to leave Yizhou for a while, please ask the lord to agree. ”

Wang Can hurriedly asked, "Gongda, you actually want to leave Yizhou, what happened?" ”

Xun You took a deep breath and said: "Lord, at the end of last year, Uncle Xun Shuang died, and at that time, the lord was erect and was at a critical time, so you didn't be able to go back to fulfill your filial piety. Now that the lord occupies Yizhou and stabilizes, he wants to return to Yingchuan, sweep the tomb of his uncle, and then return to Yizhou, hoping that the lord can agree. ”

Wang Can breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Gongda, Mr. Xun is a great Confucian in the world, and his virtue is admirable. Otherwise, you wait for a while, and after I deal with the affairs of Yizhou, I will go to Yingchuan with you to worship Mr. Xun. ”

Xun You looked at Wang Can in astonishment, bent down deeply, bowed, and said, "You, thank you." ”

Wang Can nodded and smiled slightly.
