Chen Deng walked to the door and saw two people standing on the left and right outside the door. One stood upright holding a halberd, and the other stood holding a bow.
He knows these two people.
He had heard that Chen Dao and Zhang Fei fought for 150 rounds without a winner. Although he didn't know how strong Zhang Fei's force was, judging from the exaggerated expressions of everyone talking about it, he believed that these two people should
They are all extremely fierce people.
As for Zhang Wu, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his childishness has not yet faded away from his face. He does not carry a sword, only a bow and arrows and a dagger. Judging from his focused and focused eyes, this is also
Not an ordinary person.
An extraordinary master must have extraordinary attributes.
Zhou Wen'an is an extraordinary person, and Zhang Wu, who is always with him, must also be an extraordinary person.
Chen Deng was secretly amazed. Just looking at the doorkeeper outside the house, he could tell that the people inside were different.
Entering the hall, Chen Deng saw Zhou Ping smiling and Liu Bei laughing loudly. It could be seen that they were both in a very good mood.
"Your Majesty." Chen Deng saluted Liu Bei.
"Haha... Yuanlong, come on, sit down quickly."
"What makes you so happy?" Chen Deng asked after sitting down.
Zhou Ping said hurriedly: "My lord, because of Xie Yuanlong's personal invitation to Xiaopei, I would like to appoint you as the prefect of Guangling, and at the same time, I would like to appoint your father Chen Fujun as the governor of Yuzhou."
Chen Deng looked surprised when he heard this.
Although Liu Bei stopped laughing, he still kept a smile on his face.
"Chen Deng, the prime minister, asked the king to administer affairs in Linzhou. He did so for Xuzhou, not for Deng himself. How could he be appointed to the post of prefect because of the work of the prime minister?"
Chen Deng really didn't expect that Liu Bei would be so generous and allow both his father and son to gain high status.
For most people at that time, if they could achieve the post of prefect of two thousand stones, this official position was basically the highest.
Chen Deng is talented and ambitious. Seeing that the world is in chaos and the people are suffering, if he wants to help the world and the people, he must occupy a high position and hold authority.
Therefore, Liu Bei and Lu Bu successively occupied Xuzhou, but neither of them used him seriously. However, Cao Cao appointed him as the governor of Guangling, and he was willing to serve as a vanguard for Cao Cao and lead troops to attack Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu threatened him with his younger brother.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Haha, I appointed you as the prefect of Guangling, not just because of your service, but also because of your ability to govern the county and your ambition to protect the people. Yuan Shu was near Jiujiang, and when Tao Gongzu was there, he
He coveted Xuzhou, and now that I have come to take over Xuzhou, he will be angry and raise his troops to seize it. With you in Guangling, it will be much easier for me to repel him."
After hearing Liu Bei's explanation, Chen Deng felt relieved. Liu Bei asked him to be the governor of Guangling, not only to thank him, but also because of his ability.
"Your Majesty trusts Chen Deng so much. If he ascends to Guangling, he will definitely help him defeat Yuan Shu." Chen Deng said to Liu Bei, "However, when Tao Shijun died, Cao Bao immediately transferred Danyang's troops and horses.
Going to Xiapi, it can be seen that this person wants to rely on his troops to rely on his own strength and cut off the county to stand on his own. Your Majesty's current urgent need is to move to Xiapi to control it, which can not only suppress it, but also prevent Yuan Shu from invading."
"Haha... Is that why Yuan Long came here today?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
Chen Deng was a little surprised. Isn't Liu Bei worried about Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers?
"Exactly." Chen Deng replied.
Liu Bei first looked at Zhou Ping and said with a smile: "Haha... Mr. Wen'an and I were talking about this just now, and he also advised me to move to Xiapi. It seems that heroes have the same views!"
"Oh, so wen'an must have a plan to seize the Danyang soldiers?" Chen Deng looked at Zhou Ping and asked.
Zhou Ping nodded slightly: "Well, as long as the Danyang soldiers and horses are moved away from Xiapi, and then the generals are given generous favors to make them obey orders, or the generals are replaced before the battle, that's it."
"It's easier said than done!" Chen Deng sighed.
Although this is a method, it is not easy to get the Danyang soldiers to break away from Cao Bao's command and listen to Liu Bei's orders.
"Of course it's difficult, but you have to do it," Zhou Ping replied.
Chen Deng nodded and felt that with Zhou Wen'an's wisdom, this matter should be possible. As for moving the troops and horses away from Xiapi, all he had to do was lure Yuan Shu here, and it was extremely easy to lure Yuan Shu here.
It is not difficult at all to tempt a bad person to commit a crime.
Chen Deng asked no more questions and discussed with Liu Bei the specific matters of moving to Xiapi.
Liu Bei convened the officials in the prefecture to discuss the transfer of control to Xiapi. With the support of Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, no one objected.
He also sent people to petition the court to appoint Chen Gui as the governor of Yuzhou and Chen Deng as the governor of Guangling. Liu Bei also petitioned Kong Rong to be the governor of Qingzhou. This was a temporary decision he made on his own.
After Lu Bu captured Yanzhou, Yuan Shao sent troops to help Cao Cao. In return, Cao Cao agreed to let Yuan Shao let Zang Honglai be the governor of Dongjun, which was regarded as temporarily giving up Dongjun to Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Zang Hong was transferred from the post of Qingzhou Governor, leaving the post of Qingzhou Governor vacant. Yuan Shao failed to appoint someone to succeed him in time, which allowed Liu Bei to take advantage of the loophole.
The so-called listing is actually just a formality. Whether the seal can be sent to the court is still unknown.
Of course, not everyone can just list someone else as governor or governor. First of all, you must have a certain identity and strength, just like you are a guarantor, and the person you recommend must also have a certain reputation and status.
.
From Yuan Shu to Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, to Yuan Shao to Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou, to Tao Qian to Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, Yuan and Tao Qian were both princes at that time and had relatively strong power.
Liu Bei has just arrived in Xuzhou to take office. Logically speaking, his power is not that strong yet. It seems a bit unreasonable to be appointed as the governor of two states at once. After all, with his current strength, he is simply not qualified, especially for the post of governor of Yuzhou.
But it also depends on who he recommends.
Chen Gui, a son of the public family, had played and studied with Yuan Shu and others in Luoyang since he was a child. If he was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, neither Yuan Shu nor Yuan Shao could object.
They don't want to directly offend the Chen family in Xiapi. If they offend the Chen family, they are likely to lose their hearts as scholars.
After Chen Deng welcomed Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou, he sent someone to inform Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao could only express his approval.
As for Kong Rong, after Confucius, he was a noble family and had a good reputation, so the people in Qingzhou would not object. However, Qingzhou was within Yuan Shao's sphere of influence, so it was impossible for him to agree. This is something to talk about later.
Liu Bei also sent officials from the central government to Xiapidong City to invite Lu Su to govern the center.
While preparing to move to Xiapi.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Xingping, Liu Bei's plan was to leave for Xiapi in early February. During this period, Zhou Ping wanted to do two things.
The first thing was to persuade Mi Zhu to marry his sister to Liu Bei, and to persuade him to use some money and food to help Liu Bei expand his army.
The second thing is to go to Langya to meet Zang Ba and convince him that he is willing to send troops to help Liu Bei.
"Why is Mr. Lang so dressed up today?"
Gan Qian was dressing Zhou Ping and was tying his belt.
Zhou Ping raised his hands and said with a smile: "I'm going to be a matchmaker today, so of course I have to dress more formally."
"Mr. Lang wants to be a matchmaker? But for A Wu?" Mouqian asked with a smile.
"Haha, Awu is still young. If he waits for another two years, he won't need me to go to matchmaking in person. I'm going to go matchmaking for the master."
"Mr. Lang actually took care of my lord's family affairs." Gan Qian laughed again.
Oh, I stole his wife, so I have to find him one quickly... Zhou Ping said: "I have a beautiful wife in the house, but the lord is alone. How can I bear it when I am a subject? You think so."
Gan Qian tied the wine gourd for Zhou Ping again and said softly: "Okay, Sir, let's go."
"Um."
Zhou Ping kissed Gan Qian on the face and saw that Gan Qian was blushing with embarrassment. He smiled and walked out of the room. Zhang Wu, who was waiting outside the room with a bow and arrow on his back, quickly followed.
