Time flies by at the fingertips, and it is already mid-June in the blink of an eye. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In Jingzhou, in addition to the heat, there is also a bit of humidity. The sweat on the body soaks the clothes, making people particularly uncomfortable.<
/p>
Cao Shuang held a meeting under the tree in the courtyard of the county governor today to decide on the candidate for the governor of Nanjun.
All the generals were too hot, so they fanned quickly. There was also an ice mirror placed under the tree, spreading air-conditioning around, making a small contribution to everyone's coolness...
Wang Ling stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said: "I think we should let someone who has the ability to lead troops and govern the people to lead Nanjun. After all, Nanjun is now the front line of the war between the Wei Dynasty and Soochow.
, we should still attach great importance to it!”
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "What Wang Sikong said is absolutely true."
Zhuge Dan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, please hand over Nanjun to me. I will definitely manage Nanjun for you. If Soochow dares to invade, I will teach those Soochow rats never to come back!" p>
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Wen Qin saw that Zhuge Dan, who had always disliked him, worked so hard to win the position of Nanjun's governor, although he was somewhat self-aware.
He knew that he was a rough guy and didn't know how to govern the people. He only knew how to fight, but he still jumped out. As long as he could add trouble to old man Zhuge, that would be good.
Wen Qin also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "General, although I am a rough martial artist and don't know a few words, I am still willing to recommend myself and protect Nanjun for the Wei Dynasty!"
Zhuge Dan saw Wen Qin come out to stir up the trouble, and he didn't want to get his wish, so he became angry, and his voice raised a few decibels, and loudly said: "Wen Qin, old man, you are a warrior, you keep saying that you have no talent to govern the people.
, and also asked the county guard to be responsible,
Do you really not know how much you have? Even if I only give you a small county, I’m afraid you won’t be able to manage the cases, taxes, and population of the small county well!”
Wen Qin's face turned red and he straightened up, obviously trying to make himself more confident, and said: "How can you insult me like this! I will definitely compete with you in martial arts today!"
Wen Qin was about to take action as he spoke, but Zhuge Dan smiled and cupped his hands and said: "The general called us here today to discuss the selection of the governor of Nanjun, not for General Wen Qin to compete here.
,
How can a brave man manage a county well? If General Wenqin's hands are itchy, just cross the river and fight with Soochow. The position of governor is really not suitable for General Wenqin!"
In the end, Wen Qin couldn't defeat Zhuge Dan, so he said: "Even if I am not suitable to be the governor of Nanjun, are you suitable? I think generals Zhong Gong, Shi Zai, and Zhang Te are more suitable than you to take on this important task!"
”
When Wang Ling saw that his two subordinates were arguing about Zheng Zheng, they refused to give in to each other, and his face became a little ugly.
Although it is a well-known fact that the two of them are at odds with each other. There are people in Huainan and Luoyang who know about this matter. However, they usually restrain themselves a bit. It would be better if the two of them do not lead troops to attack each other.<
/p>
Wang Ling coughed a few times and smoothed things over with a smile: "Ahem, cough, cough, two generals, today we are here to discuss the important matter of selecting the governor of Nanjun. We are not here to listen to you scolding each other. It would be a quarrel in front of the general."
How tactful, please put your previous personal grudges to bed!"
After hearing this, the two of them stopped arguing. Wang Ling thought that he was still a bit thin-faced in front of his generals.
Cao Shuang also smiled and said: "What Wang Sikong said is that if the two generals want to quarrel, then go out and quarrel, but don't use swords or guns!"
Zhang Te stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The last general thought that General Shizai could take on this important task. After all, Shizai was quite effective in managing the people in the fields in Huainan, and Shizai was not bad at leading the troops.
If he is allowed to serve as the county guard, Nanjun will definitely become the next Jianghuai granary of Wei Dynasty, and Soochow will not dare to invade easily!"
Guanqiu Jian, who had not yet spoken, and Le Fang also stood up and supported Deng Ai as the governor of Nanjun. The reasons given were that Deng Ai had the talent to lead troops and govern the local area, so he could take on this role.
But Cao Shuang knew clearly in his heart that the main reason was not this, but that these parties did not want their opponents to take this position, so they had to push out Deng Ai, the former henchman of the old thief Sima, Qiqi Ai Ai, so that all parties could achieve the goal.
Consensus without letting the other party benefit.
Guanqiu Jian and Le Fang must have their own little plans, but Zhang Te is a capable minister who is dedicated to serving the public good.
Finally, Deng Ai also stood up and said: "At the end of the day, I have few talents and little knowledge. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task. I'd better find someone else to be the general.
Furthermore, the last general was recruited by the rebellious minister Sima Yi again. If someone is allowed to hold such an important position,
I am afraid that the disobedience of the courtiers will damage the reputation of the general, provoke criticism and criticism, and say that the general is still in office and is nepotistic."
Wang Ling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Shizai, there is no need to be humble. Your talents are enough to take on this position. Since Uncle Zhao values you so much, he will not worry about being criticized. After all, the great Wei Dynasty is now
There is no more Sima Yi!"
Cao Shuang patted Deng Ai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Shizai, since most of the ministers have recommended you to take on this important task, you can take it. I will take care of the rest for you!"
Zhuge Dan also smiled and said: "Don't refuse, Shi Zai. With your merits and talents, you can still serve as the governor of Nanjun."
Deng Ai raised his hands and said seriously: "Since all the generals have said this, I can't refuse anymore. I just obey your orders and you will definitely live up to your majesty, the great general's trust!"
Deng Aiyu took office immediately after taking over, and started the first major event in Nanjun. He used the nine-grade official method to select scholars. After three days of evaluation of Jingzhou scholars, he still selected many useful talents. Most of the selected talents are from the seven local families in Jingzhou: Pang, Huang, Cai, Kuai, Ma, Xi, and Yang, and some are from the Zhuge family from outside.
The Zhuge family is the descendant of Zhuge Feng, the captain of the Western Han Dynasty. They were originally a famous family in Langya, but Zhuge Xuan came to Jingzhou with his brother Zhuge Gui's children.
That is to say, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin and a few others. Although these people have long been used by Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others and became famous all over the world, they have long passed away today, but there are still some talents from the Zhuge family who stay in Jingxiang to thrive. Now that we have the talents to govern Nanjun, Deng Ai will be able to achieve good results in farming and running the army as the governor of Nanjun, but it will take time to test all this.
Cao Shuang and his soldiers waited in Jingzhou for more than a month, but only once. When Cao Shuang attacked Jingzhou, Bi Yaner sent 30,000 troops to rescue him. Seeing that nothing could be done, he withdrew and did not send troops to Nanjun again.
Action.
However, Cao Shuang also knew in his heart that Soochow, which had lost its land in Jiangbei and its 200,000 troops, would definitely not give up. After regaining its strength, it would definitely make a comeback. However, as long as the Wei army is strong, it will not be afraid of Sun Wu coming again...
