People who play the Three Kingdoms game too often have the illusion that when they meet famous officials and generals, they should win over the stamp collection habits with all their hearts and minds. Depending on the ability value, they will determine the "reward/official title" so that they can strengthen their power step by step and eventually win the world.

But the real world is not as easy as dealing with NPCs.

You have to pay attention to seniority, come first and then arrive, historical achievements. It is really like the game, "the original military advisor's intelligence is 98, but now he has recruited a new military admiral with an intelligence value of 100, and immediately let this lord have been betrayed by his relatives before he worked for a long time, so who will work hard for you?

Perhaps someone would give a counterexample: When Liu Bei became the King of Hanzhong in history, he needed to promote a "lieutenant-level cadre" to guard Hanzhong. His subordinates all felt that "Guan Yu was in the state level, and it is definitely Zhang Fei's turn to the current lieutenant-level level." So why did Liu Bei unexpectedly promote Wei Yan? Doesn't this mean that "as long as he has the ability, he can break through the qualifications and promote him in an extraordinary way"?

This example is easily cited by Wei Yan fans, but it is actually not appropriate. Who knows whether Liu Bei's move has the potential motivation to imitate the show when Liu Bang was the King of Han, when he arrived in Nanzheng, he was persuaded and bombed by Xiao He, and built an altar and appointed Han Xin, who had a shallow qualification, as a general.

When Liu Bei was the King of Hanzhong, many of his actions were deliberately imitating Emperor Gaozu's behavior in the same period of history. The extraordinary title of Wei Yan might be one of the imitations, showing that his absolute authority in personnel and affairs was similar to Emperor Gaozu. Liu Bei's behavior logic during that special period could not represent his consistent style for most of his life.

Therefore, in this normal period where there is no need to handle special matters, when Liu Bei told the group of famous scholars who were excluded by Dong Thief to kill people with a knife, Li Sucai was so calm and did not reveal the superficial attitude of "because Xun You is a talent, he can use it directly."

Even if Xun You is a talented person, I have to decide whether to use it personally. The recruitment process is carried out by myself. Others have to have a written test and have to work together for Xun You. They cannot destroy the human resources management order of the entire camp.

He should not leave any bad impression on his old subordinates that "Liu Bei did not know how to deal with Dong Zhuo's life, so he was pedantic and unprincipled."

What's more, Xun You was originally a "former suspect who had just been released because of insufficient evidence" at this time, and he had no choice but to bargain.

After Liu Bei mastered the rhythm of the handling, Li Su left only one sentence: "If others' aftermath is pacified, I still need to take care of myself, so it doesn't matter here. If Xun You is indeed available, he will be the prefect of Shu County, so I can just be the governor of Shu County. I can only be the "probation period" for Xun You. By the end of next year, the affairs of the six Caos of Shu County will be left to him for decision.

As for the affairs of officials, households and workers, let Ziyu continue to do it? If there is any major matter, I ask me to take the initiative. I am not worried about Xun You? But I have a specialty in my profession. He doesn’t understand that we have half of the construction of water conservancy and construction of industry and commerce in Shu County. What if we are an old-fashioned bureaucrat who dislikes the construction of large-scale construction and needs to rest with the people? That would be a bad thing. So he must follow this for two years before he can decide whether he really delegates power and interferes in specific matters."

Li Su's last sentence also reflects the principle of "the matter has the power to do things", and the principle is the principle? Special circumstances are special circumstances. Just as Liu Bei used people according to the principle for decades in history, but he made an exception when he needed to promote Wei Yan and establish the authority of the Hanzhong King.

But this exception was also clear, because it harmed the interests of the third brother Zhang Fei. Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei’s friendship with him was not something that could be separated from the official position and title, but it was a friendship between life and death. So it doesn’t matter if you occasionally establish authority with Zhang Fei’s interests? It’s not important to not be with the third brother.

Li Su is also saying now: You, Cai Yong, and the people of Zhang Su and Zhang Song’s family, you still have to do business and don’t let them down. But you don’t have to be disgusted with me.

Before Li Su finished speaking, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone knows? Whoever we are with each other will not be polite to me."

...

After discussing the disposal strategy, Li Su stayed in Shu County for more than half a month and returned to peace. He knew how to deal with Xun You and other people exiled by Dong Zhuo? There was no need to worry.

Just take care of internal affairs every day and check for omissions. Then, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who are about to go south, "hunting wolves to farm and raise rabbits" every day. By the way, let the soldiers adapt to the hard work of crawling in the mountains and forests and camping in midsummer.

After half a month of unstoppable work, half a day of hunting and vacation schedule every day, every day of taking two thousand soldiers who need training, every day, they take turns to camp, and change them every five or six days.

The soldiers complained at first, and many were bitten by mosquitoes, and were disturbed by poisonous insects and poisonous weeds in midsummer. They became slightly injured when they became sick. Later, they gradually became accustomed to thick skin and flesh, and even fewer mosquito bites were bitten.

During the process, Li Su also made some small optimizations that are conducive to soldiers' adaptability and quality based on actual conditions. For example, Li Su found that people in the late Han Dynasty did not have the habit of gaunting leggings, and their calves were easily swollen after climbing for a long time. Moreover, without gaunting leggings, it was easy to get bitten by snakes, which was also very unfavorable to prevent poisonous insects that crawl on the ground and cannot fly.

So Li Su began to ask the soldiers to wear burlap and gait her leggings, and for this purpose a batch of new burlap was allocated as welfare to the soldiers, and gaiting burlap was included in the logistics and military supplies.

In addition to leggings, some anti-tropic disease drugs summarized based on the medical conditions at that time were also prepared and countermeasures were made.

While Li Su was making final preparations for the southward journey in Chengdu, Fa Zheng and Xu Huang from the northern line also received a letter from Liu Bei, telling them how to deal with the officials from the north who claimed to have the imperial decree.

The father and son of the Legal family fought a beautiful small-scale blocking battle at the newly built Dasan Pass in Sanguan County, first to repel Fan Chou's troops, who protected Hu Mao and Xun You and others.

After Fan Chou withdrew from the Luoyang battlefield, because the guards of the three defense lines of the Chang'an East Line were all arranged, Dong Zhuo set up Fan Chou and others on the western line, mainly defending Han Sui and Liu Bei. In history, Fan Chou was also reused to fight against Han Sui during the period of Li Jue and Guo Si, and finally he was killed by Li Jue because he was suspected of colluding with Han Sui.

This time, Fan Chou took thousands of Xiliang soldiers in a daze and went deep into Chencang Road and crossed the Qinling Mountains for more than 50 miles. Then he encountered the Dasan Pass of Fa Zheng Xiu. Fa Zheng didn't need to make any fancy tricks. As long as he set up an ambush on the peaks on both sides of the valley, rolling stones and woods broke the road, and guarded the pass with strong crossbows on the front, and prevented Fan Chou from breaking the pass and rushing into the monk's land, everything would be fine.

Of course, Fan Chou had no temper at all. He left hundreds of casualties and retreated directly. Due to the influence of falling stones and wood, he left hundreds of horses and some ox carts and supplies that could not be crossed. Fa Zheng seized a batch of military funds.

This is the first time that Fa Zheng has made obvious contributions since he became the county magistrate of Sanguan a year ago. Liu Bei took the opportunity to upgrade the county level of Sanguan, turning Fa Zheng from a county magistrate to a county magistrate, and allowing Fa Zheng to intercept half of the seized food, cloth and other property to be private, which really enjoys the pleasure of getting promoted and wealth. (The seized weapons and horses still have to be returned to the public, and only cloth and grain are limited to cloth and grain.)

After the failure of Chen Cangdao's military escort, Dong Zhuo was too lazy to make trouble anymore, but took the senior officials back to Mei County, and then forced them to follow Wuzhangyuan, Wugongshui, and go straight to Nanzheng through the Baoqiu Road.

There are many sections of Baoxi Road that are plank roads that are completely impossible to drive, so this is a naked head without military escort. After walking more than 300 miles of mountain roads in the Qinling Mountains with dry food, several teams finally entered the Hanzhong Basin.

Unfortunately, as soon as he came in, he was robbed by the remnants of the rice bandits who changed to the mountain bandits. Hu Mao was killed and scattered and threw him into the Han River to drift. Before he drowned, he was caught by a Han River fisherman and saved his life and drifted to Xiangyang.

Several other officials and their entourage were besieged by Mishan bandits. Fortunately, they were rescued by Xu Huang, the general of the official army who was patrolling here. Xu Huang killed the Sanmi bandits and asked about the situation before protecting them to go south.

Xu Huang also kindly advised: "How dare you take Baoxie Road? That road cannot be transported into the grain truck, so our army has not carefully checked it out for many years. To this day, Zhang Lu's remnants are still entrenched there.

If you want to walk in the future, you can walk on the Chencang Road. Otherwise, you can walk on Ziwu Gu Ziwu Gu, although it is more dangerous than Baoxi Road, it is too dangerous. Even the bandits cannot survive, so at most they will only fall to death and will not be robbed."

Among the three people forced to take office, Xu Jing was actually a little weaker. He couldn't help begging for mercy at Xu Huang: "General! We have no intention of fighting for power with the General of the Western Expedition. We have offended Dong Zhuo and were driven out. Don't kill us!"

Xu Huang's face turned dark: "What are you saying! What kind of kind people were when the generals in the Western Expedition? How dare you judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Since you claim to have the will of the court, I will send a boat downstream and send you to Jiameng Pass first."

Xu Jing naturally stopped hearing this, but there was still a hard bone in Zhong Ji retorted: "Hmph, if you were not afraid that I would wait for office, you would fight and intercept us in Chen Cangdao."

Zhong Ji has never heard of any talent in history, but he is quite stunned. He has only two deeds in his life: the first time he planned to assassinate Dong with Wu Qiong; the second time he was secretly recruited and plotted against Cao with Dong Cheng. In the end, he was killed by Cao Cao because the case of the search for the edict was leaked.

It can be considered as if he can hide. He cannot hide at the first day of the lunar month. He assassinated Dong without a crime and finally the case broke out.

Therefore, this kind of person was attacked by Xu Huang, and he was not afraid of death and directly scolded and questioned him.

Xu Huang was also a little angry and retorted in person: "It's ridiculous! Are you talking about the battle between Sanguan and Fan Chou a few days ago? The general of the Western Expedition rebelled against Dong but was loyal to the court. Of course, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang bandits came to destroy them. You are not a beast in Xiliang. It's two different things! If you have a genitals, you shouldn't be with the Xiliang bandits!"

Among the three, Xun You did not admit defeat or take it with Zhong Ji. He was relatively low-key, basically didn't speak, just observed secretly, and finally got mixed up with Xu Huang's subordinates.

Xu Huang got out some carriages, horses and boats, first took a car out of Yangping Pass and sent them to Xiguan Post, then got off the boat and went to Jiameng, and finally arrived in Chengdu.

After arriving, Liu Bei personally interrogated according to Li Su's plan and interrogated him, mainly asking, "Do you have participated in the assassination of Dong Zhuo or have you had any contact with other princes to challenge Dong?"

Xu Jing didn't know what to say at first, but basically followed the question and said whatever he wanted to hear. After understanding Liu Bei's routine, he decisively admitted that he had a lot of friendship with Yuan Shao and was a fellow villager of Yuan Shao. The two years ago, Dong Zhuo appointed Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai was what he promoted to persuade him.

Liu Bei was so amused and laughed, but he still regarded Xu Jing as a mascot and "reused".

Xu Jing probably believed that "I helped him persuade the official positions that Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong Alliance, started his career, so I should be considered the top-notch Dong Yishi." This is the best way to please Liu Bei.

Zhong Ji was still the same, and he didn't understand Liu Bei's attitude, so he directly admitted that he had participated in Wu Qiong's assassination of Dong, and he would kill him and cut him. Of course, Liu Bei had to leave his seat to thank him, and then expressed his words, "I didn't ask you to be the prefect of Guanghan for the sake of the imperial edict, but because you are loyal and unyielding, so I used you." After giving all the kindness and power, he conquered Zhong Ji.

Xun You was still very calm when he was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo. He was still very calm. Liu Bei brought him a tea and snacks, so Xun You had to eat and drink first.

After everyone else asked, arranged for the arrangement and left, Xun You wiped his mouth and asked:

"If the general who conquered the West does not want to use us, there is no need to spend this week. Since he has spent much effort, he wants to use it. When we come here today, the official positions and ranks in the past are no longer important. The general is realistic and can only use it in a measure, so why bother with doubts?"

PS: Two updates will be resumed from today. There will be recommendations on the 27th of this month. At that time, it is estimated that 7+6 will be added, which is the third update of 13 days. Keep two updates for a while recently. Of course, it is also possible to move a part of the third update of the 27th to the front in advance... Anyway, the total amount will not change.
Chapter completed!
