367. Chapter Three Hundred Sixty-Eight: Appease and Bingzhou
Liu Lin left Guan Yu in Fenhe to deal with the prisoners in Yuan Shao's army, while he led 5,000 elite cavalry to Jinyang City under the escort of Dian Wei and Chen Dao!
Jinyang City, an important town in the north, has been devastated by the flames of war. Although the war has ended, there is still a strong smell of blood in the sky above Jinyang City. Because Liu Lin wanted to enter Jinyang, Jia Xu arranged for some women and children to
He began to clean the streets, and he led Jinyang's civil and military officials and Baibo Army officers and soldiers to greet him outside the city!
"My subordinate, Jia Xu, pays homage to the Marquis of Yan!" Seeing Liu Lin leading the crowd, Jia Xu was the first to prostrate himself to the ground. All civil and military officials also knelt down and bowed in salute. Liu Lin jumped off his horse, and Dian Wei and Chen Dao hurried
The guard was beside Liu Lin, holding the handle of the knife and looking around. Liu Lin saw Jia Xu, who was a little thin, and felt something in his eyes. He remembered that when he was in Xingyang that day, he just made a suggestion, but he didn't expect that he would actually agree, and
He stayed in Bingzhou for more than two years, and during these two years, he did not make any promises or help to him. Unexpectedly, his heart was still the same. He quickly walked forward and helped Jia Xu up. He was moved.
Said: "Wen He, thank you for your hard work!"
Jia Xu has reached the age of 40, with a few beards hanging on his thin face, and his face looks a little wrinkled. If it weren't for the light in his eyes, no one would have thought that he was an excellent counselor. He felt Liu Lin's sincerity.
, there was also a sadness in his heart. For so many years, he had been a small official hanging around at the bottom. Although he had met many noble people, none of them were as sincere to him as the young man in front of him. He came to Bingzhou without hesitation that day.
, isn’t it just because of this young man’s sincere gaze? Jia Xu’s lips moved but she didn’t say anything!
Liu Lin took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Wenhe, let's go, you take me to the general's mansion to have a look, and I will meet with the civil and military officials of Bingzhou there!" Jia Xu nodded and followed Liu Lin.
They entered Jinyang City together. Jinyang City was still being cleaned, and corpses were being carried out. Many of them were already rotting. Liu Lin said to Jia Xu next to him: "Wen He, you have to arrange for manpower to go there."
Cremate these corpses, and at the same time send people to prepare for epidemic prevention. If there are not enough people, let Dian Wei lead the troops to help!" Jia Xu cupped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Yan, I have taken note of it!"
Liu Lin and Jia Xu led the crowd slowly on the dilapidated streets. Although there were many pedestrians on the streets, everyone looked sad. During this war, they had family members in almost every household.
Lost in the war, looking at their pain, Liu Lin's heart was filled with emotions. He was originally a little happy about the victory of the Fenhe Battle, but now it has disappeared, although it only takes half an hour from the East City Gate to the General's Mansion.
, but this road made Liu Lin feel extremely long.
As soon as he arrived at the General's Mansion, Liu Lin summoned all the civil and military officials in the hall, then left Jia Xu behind and said to Jia Xu: "Wen He, you have made great contributions to being able to enter Jinyang this time. I am prepared to do so."
I appoint you as the governor of Bingzhou. I hope you can govern Bingzhou well for me!" When Jia Xu heard this, there was no look of joy on his face, but he knelt down anxiously and said: "My lord, I will give you some credit for my subordinates' achievements.
What are you doing? How can you take on such an important task? I hope the lord will take back the appointment!"
When Liu Lin saw Jia Xu like this, he knew the reason for his caution. He stepped forward to help the frightened Jia Xu up, and said with a smile: "I understand what you are thinking. You are just an old man who follows me, and you have a lot of credit."
, but it is still not as high as it is now. You are afraid that you will not be able to gain a foothold in Youzhou in the future, and you are also afraid that the army will not accept it, right?" As soon as Liu Lin finished speaking, Jia Xu had a look of embarrassment on his face, and Liu Lin looked at it
Jia Xu glanced at it and said: "Don't worry, I have carefully considered your appointment. Now youzhou is no longer a state. Now that we have Bingzhou, there will be a land of Jizhou soon."
I also know what caused the troubled times in the past few years, so I will not make such a mistake again!" When Jia Xu heard this, his whole back was soaked. Liu Lin ignored Jia Xu and still said: "So I
We are preparing to implement the separation of military and political affairs. The military will not care about government affairs, and the government will not care about the military. You, the governor, will only be responsible for political affairs!"
When Jia Xu heard this, he felt relieved and bowed and said: "My lord is wise!" Liu Lin smiled and waved his hands and said: "Actually, I have implemented it in Youzhou for a long time, but it was a county. Now I have him
Just expand it into a state!" Jia Xu nodded and said: "My lord, if you do this, you will definitely be able to eliminate the original out-of-control situation!" Liu Lin glanced at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Are Wenhe still worried now?
?" Jia Xu laughed and said, "My subordinates are now worried that the master has withdrawn his appointment!" Liu Lin also smiled and shook his head.
The two discussed some more political affairs. As for Bingzhou, Liu Lin's policy will definitely achieve good results in Bingzhou. After all, Bingzhou has been purged several times by the Baibo Army. Almost all the wealthy families in Bingzhou were looted, and nine out of ten houses were empty.
A lot of land has become ownerless, and Liu Lin's "Mansion Army System" and "Equal Land Order" can be well implemented. Liu Lin is very relieved about this and leaves the matter to Jia Xu to handle.
He just asked Xun Yu to mobilize some officials from Jizhou to assist Jia Xu in handling land matters. Jia Xu had no objection to this. He knew that Liu Lin was arranging his own people in Bingzhou. This was also a kind of control as the lord.
subordinates' methods.
After arranging the government affairs, Liu Lin summoned Guan Yu back from the Fenhe military camp. Seeing the tired look on Guan Yu's face, Liu Lin nodded secretly and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I have called you back this time.
I am going to appoint you as the defender of Bingzhou, and let you and Wen He jointly shoulder the important task of governing and protecting Bingzhou! Do you have any other requirements for this?" Guan Yu glanced at Jia Xu next to Liu Lin, clasped his fists and said:
"The general will obey the order!"
As for soldiers, although Guan Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Bojun's previous actions, now Liu Lin asked him to serve as the defender of Bingzhou. He had no objections because he was a pure soldier. Liu Lin nodded with satisfaction and said: "This
I can only leave you 10,000 troops this time, and you can choose the rest from among the prisoners and the original Baibo army. As for the officers, you will appoint them first. After passing the assessment, you can appoint them.
The state council has officially issued documents. In the next six months, there may be big changes in the world. I hope you can train them well and make them an elite force!" Upon hearing this, Guan Yu quickly clasped his fists and said: "Nuo!
