Since Liu Jing was only trying to guard the prefect of Lingling, he had the qualifications to recruit county officials and temporarily appointed county magistrates, and had no power to grant official positions, Zhuge Liang was currently only a guest and followed him.

However, although Zhuge Liang had no official position at the moment, Liu Jing regarded him as his master, and he was planning to take charge of the same seat when sitting and bed when sleeping. All the affairs of all sizes were unreserved, and all the things were passed through him.

This seems somewhat incredible to outsiders. You should know that Zhuge Liang is just twenty years old this year, and his breasts are not dry and his talent is not revealed. How can he afford such a special encounter? Even Lai Gong thinks Liu Jing is a little over.

Liu Jing did not change his original intention. No one in today's world knows better than him how talented Zhuge Liang is, including Zhuge Liang himself.

Historically, Zhuge Liang was in charge of Shu Han and expeditioning the Central Plains in the north. His ambitions were not fulfilled and his achievements were not fulfilled, so he was still ranked among the top ten philosophers of the Wu Temple.

The so-called Wu Temple is the temple built by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty to worship Jiang Ziya, the "Soldier Ancestor". The Ten Philosophers of Wu Temple selected ten people from all generations as a sacrificial sacrifice.

During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, only Han Xin and Zhang Liang were selected. Among them, Zhang Liang was granted the title because he obtained Jiang Ziya's "Taigong Art of War". During the three kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the subsequent Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zhuge Liang was the only one who was selected in the four hundred years.

Tang, Song, Yuan, and... until the abolition of the Ming Dynasty, the Ten Philosophers of the Wu Temple have changed many times, but Zhuge Liang's status has always been as stable as Mount Tai. All dynasties have highly praised it.

As for Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the country, there is no need to say more. No one in the Three Kingdoms is better than that, and he is known as being comparable to Guan Zhong and Xiao He.

Zhuge Liang was one of the most outstanding talents in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang did not know his future achievements, and was also flattered by Liu Jing's special encounter. Even though King Wen was generous to Jiang Shang and Duke Huan Guan Zhong, he thought that this was not the case. However, Zhuge Liang did not underestimate himself. He dared to compare himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi when he was young. From this we can see that he was proud in his heart. Zhuge Liang secretly swears that he would live up to Liu Jing's respect.

Liu Jing knew very well that Zhuge Liang was a workaholic. Even though he was in charge of a country's politics, he still liked to personally assess the documents and books. He sweated all day long and did not know how to control himself, and eventually exhausted himself to death. Now Zhuge Liang has such signs, focusing on his affairs and working tirelessly.

Liu Jing wanted to change Zhuge Liang's habit of doing everything himself, but unfortunately his persuasion was not successful. The reason was very simple. He had two lives and had different energy than ordinary people. He only slept for three hours a day, which was less than Zhuge Liang. He was also hardworking in handling official duties. He did not have a position to preach Zhuge Liang.

Time flies, and more than ten days pass by. When the fleet arrives at the intersection of Hunan, Lei and Chengshui Rivers, Qing County is clearly in sight.

At this moment, hundreds of people were waiting at the ferry on the west bank of the Xiang River to welcome Liu Jing's arrival. In addition to the county officials of Huang County headed by Yansu and the generals of the army headed by Liu Zong and Ma Zhou, Guiyang prefect Huan Yi was also there.

The reason why Huan Yi was able to become the prefect of Guiyang was Liu Jing's contribution. Moreover, the two were close and had been working together for many years. Therefore, when he received the news that Liu Jing was preparing to go south to Lingling and fight with Zhang Jin, he did not hesitate and immediately led 3,000 Guiyang County soldiers to Huang County to assist in the battle.

Liu Jing got off the boat and landed on the shore, walked towards Huan Yi like an enclave, pointed at Zhuge Liang and asked with a smile, "Master Gong, who do you think he is?"

Huan Yi looked at Zhuge Liang's face carefully and couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I haven't seen each other for several years. Brother Huan is fine?"

Huan Yi quietly looked at Zhuge Liang, who was eight feet tall and handsome, and then sighed: "I didn't expect Kong Ming to grow up like this."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Brother Huan's style is better than the past."

This is true. Huan Yi has always lived under the shadow of his brother Huan Jie in the past. When he met Zhuge Liang, he was only a small official of Baishi. In recent years, he has been in power. He first served as the commander of Leiyang and became the priest of a county, and now he has become the monarch of a county, with his natural style.

Huan Yi and Zhuge Liang chatted for a few moments, turned their eyes back to Liu Jing, and said, "Zhongda, Guiyang's households and land are far less than Changsha and Lingling. I was the first to take charge of Guiyang again. People's hearts have not attached themselves, so I only brought three thousand county soldiers."

Liu Jing nodded and said, "If the Duke is in charge, three thousand people are enough."

To be honest, Liu Jing is not short of troops now, and the combat effectiveness of Guiyang County is limited, which is more symbolic for him. Guiyang followed Changsha and Lingling, and joined Liu Jing's team against Zhang Jin, which means that Liu Jing's three counties in Jingnan is what the people want, and is enough to compete with the emperor's edict in Zhang Jin's hands.

Of course, whether it is the heart of the people or the edict, it is difficult to control the outcome. Both sides must finally pass the battlefield and decide the outcome.

Then Liu Jing introduced Xu Shu to Huan Yi.

Xu Shu looked at Huan Yi, who was about the same age as him and ascended to the position of prefect of a county when he was under thirty years old, and it was difficult for him to remain untouched.

At the same time, he was full of expectations for the future. Although Liu Jing was not as good as Zhuge Liang, he also regarded him as a guest of honor and participated in his plan. He even met his close friends.

Xu Shu believed that with his own talents, he would definitely become the prefect of two thousand stones in the future. Of course, Xu Shu's ambition was more than that. Like Zhuge Liang, he had the intention to restore the Han Dynasty and clarify the world. His ultimate goal was to assist Liu Jing in creating the cause of kings and dominance.

Liu Jing then walked towards Liu Zong and said solemnly: "My brother, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Jing said this from the heart. Shortly after the Battle of Huang County ended, he went north to Linxiang, leaving a lot of messes for Liu Zong. In just over two months, Liu Zong lost more than ten pounds of his health, which shows his hard work.

Liu Zong was so arrogant that he laughed loudly: "Why should you say that you have to help the big things?"

"How might it be, brother of the same age..." Liu Jing exclaimed after hearing this. Then he asked, "By the way, brother of the same age, has there been any news from Quanling recently?"

Liu Zong laughed and said, "Since the past, Cai Hongchao secretly dug several tunnels in Quanling City. Taking advantage of the siege of Jiaozhou Army, he recruited hundreds of deaths and sneaked out to attack them. He almost defeated the Jiaozhou Army in one fell swoop, and finally beheaded hundreds of levels and returned. After this battle, the morale of the Jiaozhou Army declined, and Zhang Jin was also frightened. In recent days, he attacked the city several times, and ended in a hurry. Quanling is now as safe as Mount Tai."

Liu Jing was also laughing. He received the Cai Sheng war report on his way south, and he was quite amused and crying for a moment. He had known that Zhang Jin was not a soldier, and the Jiaozhou soldiers under his command were not elite, but in the face of Cai Sheng's hundreds of sudden raids, he was so unhealthy that he almost lost. It was really beyond his expectations.

If Cai Sheng had hundreds of thousands more people at that time, it might not have been his turn to appear.
