Chapter 95 Forget about his daughter, just give me Beihai

Zhou Xing quickly answered: "There are no thieves in Donglai now. Except for the Wang Ying Cong Qian Guanhai who was killed, there are many people who have fled to Beihai. If General Liu moves to Beihai, I am afraid that the thieves will return to Donglai. Donglai

The governor of Lai should be succeeded by Mizizhong, the prime minister of Donglai County. Mizizhong is General Liu's wife and brother. With him as his successor, the people of Donglai can rest assured. Even if the bandits return, General Liu will leave brave generals to help guard them.

Whether it is suppressing bandits or resisting Liaodong soldiers and horses, it will be easy."

"If you put other people in charge, if you cannot treat the people as leniently as General Liu, the people will definitely be in chaos. If there is chaos, the Ming Dynasty will easily lose the hearts of the people, and even lose the hearts of General Yuan!"

Zhou Xing had already thought that if Liu Bei was moved to Beihai, it would be best for Mi Zhu to be the governor of Donglai.

Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and he has done a great favor to Liu Bei. Letting him take the post will not only give Liu Bei a chance to repay his kindness, but also put Liu Bei at ease.

Zhou Xing hurriedly proposed because he was afraid that Yuan Tan would propose candidates first, so that he would be passive.

Yuan Tan had never thought about these issues before, and he didn't have a suitable candidate in mind for a while. Hearing what Zhou Xing said, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

He looked at the Qingzhou Mu Seal in his hand again. Liu Bei even gave up the Qingzhou Mu Seal. So what if he gave him Beihai? Anyway, Beihai is now a chaotic county, and only Liu Bei can manage Beihai well at the moment.<

/p>

Yuan Tan didn't know much about Mi Zhu, but he also knew that he was from a very wealthy family in Xuzhou and was Liu Bei's brother-in-law. He used to be Xuzhou's Biejia and is now the prime minister of Donglai County.

It is okay for him to serve as the governor of Donglai in terms of qualifications. This can reassure the people of Donglai and Liu Bei can also rest assured.

Moreover, Gongsun Du of Liaodong may send troops to capture Donglai. If he sends his own people to be the governor of Donglai, will he send troops to rescue him? If not, Donglai will be occupied by Gongsun Du, so Qingzhou

The land will be in chaos again, which will not be beneficial to you!

Yuan Tan looked at General Yan Jing again. Now he had no advisers to help him, and the only person around him who could discuss matters was Yan Jing.

Guo Tu is willing to assist him, but unfortunately he is in Yecheng, Jizhou and cannot provide him with advice in time.

Yan Jing nodded slightly to Yuan Tan, expressing his agreement with Zhou Xing's words.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to provide food."

Yuan Tan just proposed that he is willing to provide 30,000 shi of food for Liu Bei to lead his troops to the North Sea to suppress the bandits.

But now Zhou Xing has proposed that Liu Bei should be moved to the position of Beihai Prime Minister, and Mi Zhu should be replaced as the Governor of Donglai. Yuan Tan has already made up his mind and can agree, on the condition that Liu Bei must be self-sufficient in food.

Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment. In fact, it didn't matter whether Yuan Tan gave him food or not, as long as he agreed to let Liu Bei move to Beihai and Mi Zhu to succeed Donglai.

He hesitated because he didn’t want Yuan Tan to see that he agreed too readily.

"There are not many troops to suppress the bandits. General Liu does not need to expand his troops and horses. He can barely be self-sufficient in food and grass. General Liu can understand that you want to keep food and grass to raise troops to resist Gongsun."

As long as we can get the land of Beihai and accept people to farm, food is not a problem.

Then there will be excuses not to hand over the grain to the state.

"Hahaha, good." Yuan Tan was overjoyed and continued to look at the Qingzhou Muyin, then glanced at Zuo Jiangjunyin and Mouping Houyin, and said, "Xuande treats me like this, how can I let him down! Then let Liu Xuande move to Qingzhou.

He was appointed as the prime minister of Beihai, and Mi Zizhong was appointed as the prefect of Donglai. Also, I will leave the seal of Qingzhou, and you can take back the seal of General Zuo and the seal of Hou Ping. Xuande has made great achievements in suppressing thieves, and he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. The emperor has issued an imperial edict to pay homage to him.

He deserves to be General Zuo and Marquis Mouping, and I cannot take him away."

General Zuo and Marquis Mouping are just status symbols, with little practical significance. Just like Dong Cheng's General Wei and General Chariot, they are just empty names.

What Yuan Tan cares about is Qingzhou Mu, which is an official position that can command the people of Qingzhou.

Now that Liu Bei has given up the position of Qingzhou Mu, Yuan Tan is ranked as the state Mu like his father Yuan Shao, instead of the governor, which further shows that he is different and looks more respectable compared with his two brothers.

Although Zhou Xing had already expected that Yuan Tan would not accept the seal of General Zuo and the seal of Hou Ping, he was still overjoyed when he heard what Yuan Tan said. He stood up in a hurry, saluted and thanked him: "General Liu Xuande of Xing Dynasty, Xie Ming made Jun Da

Well! General Liu will do his best to suppress the thieves and bring peace to Beihai, and live up to the expectations of the Ming Envoy!"

There is another reason why Yuan Tan is so good to Liu Bei and readily agrees to his request.

Because Liu Bei sent someone to see him directly and handed all three seals to him instead of taking them directly to Yecheng to give to his father Yuan Shao.

It can be seen from this that Liu Bei truly regarded him as the lord of Qingzhou and dealt with him as the governor of a county.

If Liu Bei had handed the Seal of Qingzhou Mu directly to Yuan Shao, and then Yuan Shao had handed it over to Yuan Tan, the meaning would have been completely different.

And when Yuan Shao appointed Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of Qingzhou, he had given him the power to manage Qingzhou. He had the right to decide who to be the governor.

Zhou Xing took back General Zuo's seal and Mouping Hou's seal, bid farewell to Yuan Tan, left Pingyuan, and rushed back to Donglai.

On the way back, he no longer took a carriage, but rode a horse and galloped. A few days later, he returned to Huang County, Donglai, and met Liu Bei.

"Yuan Qingzhou really agrees to let me move to Beihai Prime Minister, and let Zizhong serve as Donglai Governor?"

Liu Bei couldn't believe it.

If he were Yuan Tan, he would never do this, at least he would not let Mi Zhu be the governor of Donglai, but would let his own people do it.

Zhou Xing replied: "Yes, Yuan Shijun won the state and forgot the county. The lord lowered his posture so low, which shows the dignity of Yuan Shijun. If his daughter has grown up now, she would be willing to give it to the lord!"

”

Liu Bei was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Haha, forget about his daughter, just give me Beihai. From this point of view, the Yuan family's ambition is only to the north of the Yellow River, and does not pay much attention to the land south of the Yellow River, at least in Bogui's brother Hu

When he was in Youzhou, the Yuan family had no intention of going to Henan. This is a good time for our development."

From Liu Bei's point of view, it can certainly be seen that Yuan Tan retreated to the plains because he took advantage of the danger of the Yellow River and only focused on the north and neglected the south.

Only after Gongsun Zan's demise would the Yuan family shift its focus southward.

As for Gongsun Zan, he has now built Yijing to defend himself and accumulated food. As long as Yuan Shao does not take the initiative to send troops, it will not be easy for Yuan Shao to destroy him. He must now occupy Beihai as soon as possible and develop and strengthen his strength.

With the two counties of Beihai and Donglai, falling out with the Yuan family in the future will not be so scary!

Liu Bei immediately discussed with everyone and decided to leave Guan Yu with three thousand soldiers and horses to guard Donglai together with Mi Zhu to guard against a sudden attack by Liaodong soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei took Zhou Xing, Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, Jian Yong and Sun Qian with three thousand soldiers and horses to leave Huang County and march into Beihai.

Huang County Magistrate Wang Xiu and Donglai Gong Cao Li Ye both stayed. At this time, Donglai was not yet settled, and the people of Donglai needed them.

When Liu Bei led his troops to leave, the people of Donglai came again to persuade him to stay.

However, Liu Bei explained that he went to Beihai to hunt down thieves, so that the people in Beihai and the people in Donglai could live a good life.

The people expressed their understanding and learned that Liu Bei had left the red-faced general and three thousand troops in Donglai, so they no longer stopped him.

Liu Bei's troops had just left Donglai. At this time, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, heard the news and was so angry that he almost vomited blood and asked someone to call Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, we originally wanted to borrow Yuan Benchu's knife to kill Liu Bei, but now it seems that that boy Yuan Tan is using the knife to cut Liu Bei's mutton himself and put the mutton into Liu Bei's mouth." Cao Cao sneered.
