"Lord Governor, this is the list of members of my Rou clan and related material and territory information." Rou Ling, a sturdy figure, knelt down on the ground with a respectful and nervous look on his face, and presented the document with both hands raised.

Sitting on the main seat of the high platform, Fazheng no longer looked as frivolous as before. He looked like he was indifferent to emotions and anger. He took the document presented by the clerk, scanned it at a glance, and then looked at Yang Xiu who was aside.

.

Yang Xiu nodded slightly, Fazheng understood in his heart, closed the document, and said in a kind tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Chief Rou. Since the Rou tribe is willing to submit and is so sincere, our great Chu will accept you. Take it.

I hope that Chief Rou will cooperate with me on the naturalization and other affairs of your tribe."

"Of course, everything depends on the orders of the governor." Rouling said respectfully with an awkward expression.

Just kidding, most of the many tribes in Liangzhou have disappeared in just six months. The one who decides life and death is the seemingly kind-hearted but powerless little governor above the throne. How dare he say anything?

"In addition, there is also the matter of trade with your tribe. Ziyu will discuss it with you in detail later." Fa Zheng looked at Zhuge Jin and said.

"Thank you, Lord Governor." Upon hearing this, Rouling said with gratitude and excitement. Then he bowed respectfully to Zhuge Jin and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Zhizhong."

"It doesn't matter." Zhuge Jin smiled slightly as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face.

"Okay, you can go down for now." Fazheng said.

"promise!"

Watching Rouling leave, Zhuge Jin said, "How is this person?"

Yang Xiu was the first to speak as usual: "He sincerely surrenders. He is very afraid of our army, and he is greedy for the benefits of border trade. He can be trusted."

Zhuge Jin nodded and then looked at Fazheng.

"He has a rather violent temperament and is greedy for profit. We should not be too kind to him. We must always intimidate him and keep him under strict supervision." Fa Zheng said calmly.

"Um."

"The rest of the negotiations will be left to you. Don't be too polite to this person." Fazheng warned.

"Don't worry." Zhuge Jin smiled slightly. He was very familiar with diplomacy, and he was also very experienced in dealing with such people.

After visiting Liangzhou for such a long time, the cooperation between the three people has become more and more tacit. Whether it is Yang Xiu's understanding of people's thoughts, Fa Zheng's insight into people's hearts or Zhuge Jin's natural affinity, they are all responsible for governing Liangzhou and managing the Qiang people.

Sharp weapon. With the cooperation of the three people, the many tribes in Liangzhou were screened and managed in an orderly manner. With the help of kindness and power, all the Qiang people in Liangzhou gradually returned to their hearts. And those who had evil intentions, there were other Qiang tribes and tribes he wanted.

The leaders were all reduced to nothing under the iron heel of the Xiliang army led by Li Jue and Xu Shu, and the remaining tribesmen were collected by other tribes or taken under the management of the Great Chu.

"Based on time, Zhiran and Xiaozhi should have pacified the Hu tribe. Hundreds of tribes, large and small, in Liangzhou have basically been dealt with now. It took more than half a year, and it was really not easy!"

Fa Zheng changed his previous serious expression and regained his free-spirited nature. He threw the documents on the table directly in the direction of Zhuge Jin, stood up and stretched.

Zhuge Jin quickly reached out to take the document, sorted it out and put it in his sleeve. He smiled bitterly and said: "I said filial piety. Now that you are also the governor of one side, can't you change your behavior and be more stable?"

Fazheng twisted left and right as if no one was watching, and said indifferently: "You are young, why are you pretending to be mature? It's okay to pretend in front of outsiders, but I can't be more relaxed in private? Look at Guo Fengxiao, every day

It’s okay to run to the tavern.”

"How can you compare with Guo Fengxiao?" Yang Xiu said disdainfully.

"Why can't we compare?" Fazheng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his hair suddenly exploded: "I am now the governor of a party, so who does Guo Fengxiao mean to me? The official position is only on the same level as mine, sooner or later I will surpass him."

"Yes, yes, my Lord Governor." Zhuge Jin tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Would you like to go out and hide for a while?"

"Hide? What are you hiding from? Who am I going to hide from as the governor?" Fazheng said proudly.

Yang Xiu looked at Fazheng as if he were a fool, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "I hope you won't regret it later."

"Regret?" Fazheng looked at Yang Xiu doubtfully, and a shout suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Xiao Nao, I want to go to the Western Regions!"

Xu Shu's loud voice reached Fazheng's ears from far and near.

Fazheng's expression changed instantly, and he said with a look of horror: "Damn it, why did this guy come back so soon!"

After saying that, regardless of his own face, under the narrow gazes of Yang Xiu and Zhuge Jin, he ran towards the back door: "Don't tell Xu Yuanzhi that I am here!"

When Yang Xiu and Zhuge Jin heard this, they smiled in acquaintance.

"You really don't have a long memory." Yang Xiu shook his head and said.

"Do you think Xiaozhi can run away this time?" Zhuge Jin asked.

"Xu Yuanzhi's role as a ranger in those years was not for nothing." Yang Xiu casually lay down on the back of the chair and looked towards the back door where Fazheng slipped away: "Just watch."

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, there was a soft thud in the distance, and then Xu Shu, who was eight feet tall, walked over from the back door with Fazheng's neck in his hands with a smile on his face, and said in a hurry: "Run! Keep running.

ah!"

Being carried by Xu Shu like a chicken, the Fa Zheng hanging in the air looked ashen as he kept baring his teeth and kicking his legs: "Xu Yuanzhi, how dare you bully the disobedient! I'm going to beat you eighty times and parade you through the streets! Hurry up!

Put me down!"

As soon as Fazheng finished speaking, Xu Shu, who was smiling, let go of his hands. Fazheng fell directly to the ground.

"oh!"

Fazheng screamed in pain, covered his buttocks and climbed up from the ground, pointed at Xu Shu, and said angrily: "Xu Yuanzhi, you!"

"What's wrong? Lord Governor, didn't my subordinates comply with your order?" Xu Shu said with a provocative look on his face, as if to say: If you don't obey, come and beat me!

After clenching his fists and measuring the combat prowess of both sides, Fazheng decisively gave up the idea of ​​fighting Xu Shu. He said angrily: "Come here, take this guy down!"

The guards who were guarding the inside and outside of the palace sighed inwardly when they heard this, and moved slowly and reluctantly. They had seen this scene many times. Both of them were important ministers of Chu. How could they make such a joke like this?

Can you afford it?

At the critical moment, it was Zhuge Jin who stepped forward to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, Yuan Zhi was just joking, why are you serious about this? The guards will step aside for now."

Fazheng said with an angry look on his face: "Ziyu, don't stop me. I will definitely punish this offender today."

Xu Shu was not false at all and pretended to be puzzled: "Master Governor, what did the subordinate do and how did he commit the crime? Master Governor, can you tell me?"

"You!" Fazheng was about to speak, but his tone suddenly stopped.

"Oh!" Xu Shu seemed to have remembered: "It was the lower official who lifted the governor up like a child and followed the governor's order to let him go. As a result, the governor fell down."

After saying this, Xu Shu slightly cupped his hands and said with a look of repentance: "My lord, I know I made a mistake. I sincerely ask your lord to parade me through the streets. I will definitely state my mistake carefully in front of everyone and report it to the governor."

Your Excellency, admit your mistake."

Seeing Xu Shu's scoundrel look, Fazheng felt a surge of anger rising above his head, but he couldn't control it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I don't care about you, so I'll let this matter go for the time being. I won't do it again next time."

Rao."

Just kidding, with Xu Shu’s bold and reckless character, if he really publicized this matter in front of the people of Liangzhou, how would he, the governor of Liangzhou, lose face?

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for your forgiveness." Xu Shu grinned.

Yang Xiu and Zhuge Jin watched the show with great interest, laughing without saying a word.

"By the way, Sir Governor, are you going to the Western Regions with General Zhiran?" Xu Shu said suddenly.

"No!" Fazheng said sternly without hesitation.
