Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Four Counties of Youdong

The stall is too big!

For the first time in his life, Yanbei felt sad because there was too much territory.

With Jiang Jin's battle report on defending Jixian County, there were also Xun Yue, Xian Yuyin, Xian Yufu, Cheng Xu and other state capitals, and the leaders of the Wuhuan tribe in the three counties of Youxi led by Badun jointly wrote a letter, raising Yanbei as the new Youzhou pastor, and asking him to move to Jixian County as the head of Youzhou to go south to avenge Liu Yu, the old state pastor.

Youzhou Mu, what a big official position!

"Gonghe, things are developing much faster than Yanbei expected, and now everyone in the state capital has elected me as the pastor of Youzhou, what do you think?" Yanbei once again walked into the Liaodong County Mansion, convened the generals under his command to discuss with the officials, and immediately asked Fu Zhu: "You must go with me, have you considered the successor of Liaodong Taishou?" ”

Yan Bei raised his hand and rubbed his temples with some worry, and said to everyone in the hall: "There are also the Taishou of the three counties of Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Xuansu, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Hearing him ask, Guo Jia in the hall stretched out his hand to take the dates and paused, then nodded slowly before grabbing a handful and hiding it in his sleeve, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing it slowly while people were not paying attention.

Governing politics is not Yanbei's strength, he is a general who sent troops and horses, even if he doesn't know what he does, Guo Jia can also see from the employment of Yanbei that he is preparing to go to Jixian County to succeed as the state pastor, Yanbei is very accurate in grasping the overall situation.

Liaodong is the base, Xuansu in the north, Lelang in the south, Liaoxi in the west, and Beiping in the right, these five counties are what Yanbei really grasps in his hands, in fact, only the four counties in the east of Youzhou are firmly in the hands now, and Youbeiping is only in the plan.

As for the western part of Youzhou, it is densely populated and there are many Haoqiang clans, even if Yanbei is elected by everyone to succeed the state pastor, it will not be able to wave like a few counties in the east.

What especially makes Guo Jia satisfied is Yanbei's current attitude, if ordinary people know that they are elected as the state pastor, they are afraid that they will lose their big teeth, but Yanbei now looks ordinary and even a little worried...... This is the person who does great things, and does not rejoice in the small interests in front of him.

Is the official position of Youzhou Mu easy to do? Not to mention that the state and county were almost divided after Liu Yu's death, the state government engaged in jointly promoting him as the state pastor this time just to resist Gongsun Zhan, and now moving Ji County is contrary to Yanbei's strategic thinking.

According to the current strength of Yanbei, the position that can best resist Gongsun Chan is from Guangyang County all the way to the east, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and unify dozens of cities in the three counties as a buffer, and fight and retreat, use the heavy supplies of long-distance battles to consume the sharpness of Gongsun Zhan's troops, transfer the greatest pressure to Yuan Shao's body, and give the three counties of Youdong enough time to recuperate. If this continues, it will be less than next year, or at most two years, and Gongsun Chan will withdraw from Youzhou, and whether others want it or not, Youzhou will be Yanbei.

But now the state government is engaged in pushing Yanbei to the forefront, and what he wants is for him to quickly defeat Gongsun Zhan...... Does Yanbei have the ability to win against Gongsun Chan quickly? Less than half of the veterans in the army's departments are still not full, and even some captains' departments have not yet recruited full soldiers.

Even if Gongsun Chan is repulsed, what good will it do to Yanbei?

Yanbei's arrangement in Taishou is obviously a plan to preserve strength, to be a state pastor first, but not to pull all the generals over, still deployed in Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi generation, once nothing can be done, abandon Guangyang, retreat to the east.

This is the most advantageous choice for Yanbei at the moment.

Guo Jia chewed the dates and smiled softly.

'Yanzhou Mu, very cunning! ’

Frustrated, he arched his hand to Yan Bei inexplicably, he wondered if Yan Bei really didn't know the candidate or if he didn't know...... Yan Zhongqing is empty-handed Baoshan and doesn't know it!

"General, there are many talents in Liaodong County, the county orders Zhao Fan, Shi Tao, and Xu Shu can be the rulers of a county, Zhen Yao can also be released to ten thousand large counties, and Guo Xin and others in Liaodong Academy can also be used as small county magistrates, which is enough to hold the counties in the palm of their hands." He said with his hand, and then continued: "If the general wants someone to take over the post of Liaodong Taishou, it is better to transfer Yandong to Liaodong, with Shi Tao as Lelang Taishou and Zhao Fan as Xuansu Taishou, and Zhen Yao to Guangyang Jixian County...... As for Xu Yuanzhi, he is good at military strategy and can be engaged in under the general's curtain. ”

Yan Bei slowly bowed his head, in fact, the idea of frustration was more secure than that of Yan Bei, and holding on tightly to the counties in Youdong would make them invincible in the future Youji disputes. Lelang's manpower, Xuansu's topography, and Liaodong's property are all in one, which is the sum of the current forces of the Liao generals.

If you say that the person who knows Liaodong the most, it must not be Yanbei, but the frustration of the outsiders who have served in Liaodong for several years.

Yan Bei also thought so in his heart, and was extremely pleased with the due diligence of the frustrated minister, nodded and said: "Then according to the meaning of the public and the appointment of them as the county order, in the future, the three counties of Youdong will still have to be bothered by the public and a lot." ”

"The general's words are serious, in addition, there are two people who need the general to persuade them to come out in person."

Hearing Fu Zhu say this, Yan Bei was very surprised, and asked, "Is there anyone else in this Liaodong County who you are frustrated with and don't move?" Don't say it's those people in the academy, they Yan don't move! ”

After waving his hand again and again, Fu Gonghe looked at Yan Bei and avoided Guan Ning and the others, so he laughed and said: "It's not those elders, it's Chen Changwen who compiled the book of the Hakka Academy, if the general doesn't persuade him to come out, most of the books will leave Liaodong after compiling the book." In addition to him, there is also the nephew of the host Zhao Duwei, Sima Boda in Hanoi, Sima Shi has now moved to Liaodong to avoid trouble, but he did not ask for a place to ask for a house, obviously there is no heart to live for a long time, his subordinates have met with Boda a few times, and he has learned something, but he has not been able to say that he will be moved, I am afraid that he will have to rely on the general himself. ”

"Dashan, this battle made Yan almost forget Changwen, in addition to him, when he passed through Shanggu, he also had to sweep the tomb of Mr. Zigan and worship him." Yan Bei said that he asked Fu Zhu: "Hanoi Sima clan, come to Liaodong?" ”

Fu Zhu nodded, silently took out a piece of white silk from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Bei. Yan Bei took it puzzled, looked down at it, and nodded lightly to Fu Zhu, and then explained the matter to the generals in the hall, and when the generals dispersed, Yan Bei pulled Fu Zhu and asked, "Gonghe, how many children does the Sima family have?" ”

"Seven, the eldest son Sima Lang is now crowned, and the younger son has not yet been enlightened, so general, this is the reason why your subordinates gave you that silk scarf...... Sima Boda is now worried about the learning of several young brothers, and Liaodong Academy should be a good place for them. ”
