Youzhou, Ji County.

In the governor's mansion, in an antique room, an old man who was half white in age was holding a wolf-hair brush and writing on the table in front of him.

A stick of incense was burning on the table in the room, and it was almost burned out.

After a while, the old man put a horizontal stroke of ink on the rice paper.

Then he put down the brush and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the calligraphy he had just written in front of him and smiled.

Click! Click!

At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the house.

"Boom boom!"

"Come in!" the old man shouted, and then a middle-aged man in official uniform came in.

"Sir, a document has arrived from Zhuo County."

"Oh? Show me."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man handed the document to the old man.

After the old man took it, he looked at it carefully and couldn't help laughing.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said three good words in a row, which showed how happy he was at that moment.

"Sir, what happened? Why are you so happy?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but wonder when he saw this.

"Take a look at it yourself, Wei You." The old man handed the document over, and Wei You took it and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, he said with a look of surprise:"This......This is victory news, my lord! Great victory!"

"Haha, yes, I didn't expect that Su Yan would give me such a big surprise, this really surprised me."

Liu Yu said with a loud laugh

"Sir, are you familiar with Su Yan, the magistrate of Zhuo County?"

Wei You couldn't help asking when he heard Liu Yu say this.

"Of course I am familiar with him. I am the one who decided whether he could be the magistrate of Zhuo County!"After a pause, Liu Yu said,"Besides, he is the eldest son of Su Ping, the deputy driver."

""Ah?"

Wei You was shocked after hearing this.

"Sir, he is actually the eldest son of Su Ping, so doesn't this mean........"

"No problem." Liu Yu waved his hand and said,"I know what you are worried about. I have thought of this a long time ago."

He waved his hand, dismissed the servants in the room, and then said,"Su Ping was previously the deputy governor of Youzhou and controlled the entire power of Youzhou. It stands to reason that he is the new successor to the governor."

"But he didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly implement the provincial governor system and send all of us royal family members to the local areas, which immediately took his place."

"Therefore, he has always been dissatisfied with me and always wanted to exclude me. I know all this."

Wei You asked in confusion:"Then why did you appoint his son to such an important position as the magistrate of Zhuo County?"

"Because Su Yan can be used by me!"

Liu Yu said:"I sent spies to learn that although Su Yan is Su Ping's eldest son, he is not favored because his mother died early. He is always bullied by his stepmother Xu and his cousin Su Ze."

"Su Ping couldn't stand Xu's pillow talk, and gradually alienated himself from Su Yan, causing him to be ostracized in the family."

"So in his heart, he must hate his father and stepmother very much."

Wei You suddenly realized

"That's right!"

Liu Yu said:"Su Yan was not favored, so he naturally wanted to leave the family. I happened to meet him once and saw that he was kind and righteous, and his temperament was unyielding, so I wanted to recruit him."

"Su Ping happened to be planning to send him abroad, so I sent him to Zhuo County."

At this point, Liu Yu's words gradually became a little excited.

"Originally, I just wanted to test Su Yan, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous. He first punished corrupt officials, then won the hearts of the people, and later wiped out the bandits and took control of Zhuo County."

"Now he has defeated the Wuhuan cavalry heading south, saving me a lot of trouble."

"I didn't expect that my unintentional action that day would achieve such a result. It really surprised me."

At this time, Liu Yu's tone gradually slowed down.

"Now that Su Yan has proven his ability, we can rely on him to contain Su Ping!"

""Sir, what are you going to do?"

Wei You asked.

Liu Yu thought for a moment, then said,"Su Yan is very capable, and his talent cannot be confined to a county. I plan to let him serve as the governor of Zhuo County!"

"What!"

Wei You was surprised,"Sir, Su Yan is so young, and he was promoted to a county governor within a year of serving as a county magistrate. Is this possible?......Too fast?"

He knew about the situation in Zhuo County.

Zhuo County used to be the hinterland of Youzhou, and the economic and political center of Youzhou was there.

Later, with the emperor of the previous dynasty, the seat of Youzhou was moved to Ji County, and Zhuo County slowly declined.

However, Zhuo County has always been an important hinterland of Youzhou.

The status of the prefect of Zhuo County is not comparable to that of other prefects. The current general Gongsun Zan, his father-in-law was the former prefect of Zhuo County, who was killed because of the rebellion of Zhang Chun and others.

The reason why Gongsun Zan fought so bravely against them, in addition to his hatred for foreigners, was more to avenge his father-in-law.

When his father-in-law was there, as his backer, he had everything he wanted in Zhuo County, and he was powerful for a time.

However, with the death of his father-in-law, all this came to an end. have all disappeared.

So Gongsun Zan hated the rebellion of Zhang Chun and others very much.

To ruin his future was equivalent to killing his biological parents.

So Gongsun Zan did not give up after defeating the rebels in Shimen, but continued to attack, vowing to wipe them all out.

But no matter what, Gongsun Zan has made great contributions.

After he defeats all the rebels and drives them away completely this time, I am afraid the court will reward him.

Logically speaking, maybe he will take over from his father-in-law and become the new governor of Zhuo County.

After all, some of his previous forces and acquaintances were also in Zhuo County, so such an arrangement would be more convenient. However, now Liu Yu plans to let Su Yan serve as the governor of Zhuo County. Isn't this equivalent to offending Gongsun Zan? Now that Gongsun Zan is in the limelight, is it really appropriate for Liu Yu to do so

?

���?

Liu Yu shook his head and said,"I don't think it's fast at all. There are rebellions everywhere in the world now. It is indeed a chaotic era. We can't use the same methods as in the prosperous times. We should promote talents in a timely manner and use severe punishments!"

"Only by doing this can we stop the signs of chaos as soon as possible, then recuperate, appease the people, and slowly restore the Han Dynasty!"

There was hope in his tone.

That was the expectation that the Han Dynasty was not over yet.

Wei You bowed and asked:"Then, sir, do you really intend to offend Gongsun Zan because of this?"

"Humph!"

Liu Yu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:"Although Gongsun Zan is brave and has defeated the Hu people many times, he is not strict in managing his army and often allows his subordinates to plunder the people."

"In order to boost morale, he even agreed that the soldiers could plunder for a day after they captured the city. Do you think this is the awareness that a general should have?"

Liu Yu became more and more angry, with a raging fire in his eyes.

"For the sake of military merit, he disregarded the lives of the people and even killed innocent people. Such a person is not worthy of being a general of the Han Dynasty. He is really a disaster!"
