Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

After Yan Gang left with the three thousand white horse volunteers, Su Yan immediately led his army into Liangxiang County.

His army had been fighting for several days in a row, and now that the war was over, it was time to rest.

The county magistrate of Liangxiang County and other minor officials were responsible for welcoming them.

He told Su Yan that the county magistrate was accidentally shot to death by a stray arrow while commanding the battle on the tower.

Su Yan was also very sorry about this, and left after comforting these officials.

He said that he was sorry, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

Although Liangxiang County is a small county, it is still a city after all.

As long as it is a city, there will be a lot of population.

With population, there will be economic development, and with economic development, a series of industries can be driven.

He now controls Zhuo County and has some strength under his hands.

But he is not satisfied.

After all, the Three Kingdoms period is about to begin, and he must seize the time to develop his own power.

He does not have the rich family background of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, nor does he have their awesome political background.

In addition to being handsome, he is actually not as good as them in many aspects.

The only thing he could use was his foresight, his grasp of the general trend of history, and the help of the system.

Now is the foundation period for starting a business, and we must salvage the foundation.

He made up his mind that Liangxiang County must be under his control.

Of course, he was not arrogant enough to directly occupy Liangxiang County, which would be a great disapproval of the world and equivalent to rebellion.

In this chaotic world that has not yet fully begun, it is better to keep a low profile.

Store up grain and slowly become king! That's right.

However, although he cannot occupy it directly, he can arrange his own people in the position of county magistrate.

In this way, he is equivalent to indirectly controlling Liangxiang County.

In the future, he will have the resources of two counties, and his strength will also increase greatly.

Thinking of this, he asked his captain to go out and secretly inquire about the situation of the county government of Liangxiang County.

After a while, the captain of the personal guard came back.

He told Su Yan that the power of the county government in Liangxiang County was very complicated.

The county magistrate was the largest, followed by the county lieutenant, then the county magistrate, and finally the chief clerk.

The power of the county magistrate far surpassed the other three, so he firmly controlled Liangxiang County.

But now that he is dead, the people under him have all scattered like monkeys when the tree falls, and they have been devoured all at once.

Logically speaking, the next person most likely to become the county magistrate is the county lieutenant.

However, it is said that the county lieutenant is not an ordinary person, and his mind is very active, so it may be difficult to control him.

Su Yan pondered for a moment and asked,"Besides these three people, are there any other close people around the county magistrate?"

The captain of the guard thought for a while, then said,"It seems that there is one, who is the county magistrate's staff, who is specifically responsible for giving him advice behind his back. It was that person who suggested that the county magistrate supervise the battle to boost morale. Otherwise, Liangxiang County would have been captured long ago."

"I see."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes, then said:"Take a few people to bring that staff member to me, I want to see him."

""Yes!" the captain of the guards said respectfully, and then left with the other guards.

After two cups of tea, the guards came back to report that the man had been brought back.

This was a thin man in a green robe, not short, unkempt, and looked like a casual scholar.

"Sir, I wonder what you want me to do?"

He bowed to Su Yan nervously and said

"What's your name?"

Su Yan asked

"Sir, my name is Zhao Yue, courtesy name Peishan"

"I heard that you used to be a staff member of the county governor?"

"Yes, sir." Zhao Yue nodded and said,"I was once in poverty, and it was the county magistrate who helped me, so I stayed in the county government to give advice to the county magistrate."

At this point, he sighed.

"I had hoped that the county magistrate's personal supervision of the battle would boost the morale of the soldiers and help them hold out for a while longer. I didn't expect that the county magistrate was shot to death by a stray arrow. It's all my fault." He is a man of affection and righteousness.

Su Yan thought to himself when he heard this.

He said in a deep voice:"It's not entirely your fault. You meant well and hoped to hold on to the defense and prevent the Wuhuan people from attacking the city. But he has a bad life and you can't blame him for it."

Zhao Yue sighed and shook his head after hearing this, looking sad and heartbroken.

Su Yan looked at his expression carefully and found that his expression did not seem fake, so he felt relieved.

"" What do you think of Liangxiang County?"

Su Yan suddenly asked.

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment and asked,"I don't understand what you mean, sir?"

"Now that the county magistrate is dead, the entire Liangxiang County is leaderless, and no one is in charge of the work of comforting the people. This is not a good phenomenon."

Su Yan said:"I hope you will take over as county magistrate and manage the entire Liangxiang County. What do you think?"

"Oh? Sir, this....How can I......"

Zhao Yue was shocked when he heard his words.

Su Yan waved his hand to interrupt him,"I know you are worried that you are not qualified enough to convince others."

"This is not a problem. With my support, you can take control of the former county governors' power and let them promote you."

"But there is no appointment from the prefectural government........"

"This is not a problem. I have connections in the state capital and can help you with this matter. Now it depends on whether you want to be the county magistrate."

Su Yan looked at him and said lightly

""If you become the county magistrate, you must find a way to manage all the forces in the county and not let anything go wrong in the entire county, do you understand?"

Zhao Yue lowered his head and remained silent, not saying anything.

Su Yan was not in a hurry either. He sat in front and drank tea while waiting for his reply.

After a while, Zhao Yue raised his head and asked,"Excuse me, sir, after I become the county magistrate, do I need to report all matters to you?"

Su Yan smiled and said,"Not necessarily. You can handle all the big and small matters in the county by yourself. You just need to obey my arrangements when I need your help. I don't care about anything else."

""Does your Excellency trust me so much?"

Zhao Yue asked in confusion

"Trust people you employ, and don't employ people you doubt. I believe in my judgment, and you dare not betray me, because you can't afford the price."

Su Yan smiled faintly, with a chill in his tone.

Zhao Yue couldn't help but shudder.

He then remembered the scene he had seen on the city wall before, when Su Yan led his army to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry and drove away the White Horse Volunteers.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to defeat either of these two forces. But Su Yan was able to defeat both parties in succession, which shows how strong he is.

If he really dared to have second thoughts, I'm afraid his small county would not be enough for them to move their hands and feet.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue immediately bowed and saluted loudly, saying:"Zhao Yue, meet the lord!"
