Wang Can took Pei Yuanshao and Dian Wei back to Yizhou, and a big stone in Xun You's heart finally fell to the ground.
This trip to Yingchuan can be said to be thrilling at every step.
Especially when Wang Can and Xun You returned to Yizhou, they were intercepted and killed on the way. In order to protect him, Wang Can attracted nearly 80% of the troops, allowing him to successfully escape. Wang Can was in danger, and Xun You was burdened with a lot of burden.
Now that Wang Can has returned successfully, the big stone in Xun You's heart can be lifted.
When Wang Can returned to Chengdu, not only Xun You, but also Cai Yong, Cai Yan, Diao Chan and others breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Can is the backbone of Yizhou. Once something unexpected happens to Wang Can, Yizhou will definitely be in trouble.
The most disappointed person was undoubtedly the imprisoned Liu Zhang. He was excited for several days when he got the news that Wang Can was being hunted. Now that he got the news that Wang Can had returned safely, he was so angry that he smashed several items, many of which were valuable.
Even the city's pearls and jade were smashed to pieces by Liu Zhang, and the servants were trembling in fear, fearing that they would offend Liu Zhang and be implicated.
When Wang Can returned to Chengdu, he held a banquet to celebrate.
State Shepherd's Mansion, in the hall.
Talents gather together under one roof.
Wen has Cheng Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Ren An and others; Wu has Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Lingbao, Zhou Cang, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others; as for the younger generation Chen Dao, Fazheng, Zheng Du,
Deng Zhi, Fei Shi and others have all been sent to the county to start from the grassroots level. Because these people are too young, most of them are around 20, and there are even some who have just become adults. Because they are too young, they need to go through seniority
, can it gradually rise.
Therefore, most of the people in the hall are old people and qualified people.
For example, Ren An, who was personally invited by Wang Can, may not be as good as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others in terms of governance and strategy; in terms of martial arts, he is old and not as good as Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others. Regardless of whether it is
Ren An was inferior to others in civil and military affairs, but Ren An had one advantage. He was highly respected and had enough prestige in Yizhou to influence the trend of public opinion in Yizhou. Therefore, Wang Can invited Ren An and adopted him as his own.
As for Huang Zhong, after he left in Jingzhou, he had a gift from Wang Can and traveled very quickly. Therefore, when Wang Can arrived, he had already arrived in Chengdu, met Cheng Yu, and settled his family members.
Dian Wei's wife and children returned with Xun You and had already settled in. After he returned with Wang Can, he had a place to stay.
The atmosphere at the banquet was thick, as everyone celebrated Wang Can's return to Chengdu.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The civil and military officials in the hall were very enthusiastic, but Wang Can was a little absent-minded and didn't drink much. The banquet didn't last long, only about an hour, and then they dispersed. Zhao Yun, Yan Yan and others left the Prefecture Mufu.
, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and Xun You stayed.
After everyone left, Wang Can said: "Come to the study with me!"
The three people followed Wang Can and walked to the study.
When they came to the study, Wang Can waved his hand to Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Xun You sat down, and immediately asked: "Zhongde Gong, have you settled down the generals under Liu Yan's command during my absence?"
Cheng Yu cupped his hands and replied: "Reporting to my lord, everything is on track. It turns out that all the generals under Liu Yan's command have been settled and have become generals under my lord's command. For example, Wu Yi, the general of Liu Yan's third army, Fei
Guan and Dong He have both been persuaded to become civil and military officials in Yizhou."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yu said: "My lord, both Liu Yan and Zhang Lu are dead. Yan Pu has served under his humble subordinates for a long time and has done his best to serve as an official. With Yan Pu's ability, he is enough to serve as the governor of a county.
Please make your decision, my lord."
Wang Can nodded, stood up, took out the map from the bookshelf, spread it out, and looked at it carefully.
Yan Pu's talents can indeed serve as the governor of a county, but they must be carefully considered.
Wang Can looked at the map and was silent for a long time. He reached out and pointed at Jianwei County. He raised his head and said, "Zhongde Gong, you are responsible for the promotion of officials in the Prefecture and Mufu Office. Please order Yanpu to be the prefect of Jianwei." After saying this, Wang Can took another
He took up the silk and wrote the appointment of Yan Pu as the governor of Qianwei, stamped it and handed it to Cheng Yu.
After doing this, Wang Can said again: "I am now Yizhou Mu, General Zhennan, and my official position has been raised to a higher level. The official positions of the three of you will also change accordingly. According to the original official ranks, you should rise accordingly. Official positions
The appointment will be drafted by Zhong Degong, and then it will be stamped with my seal, and then the corresponding official seal and ribbon will be made."
"promise!"
Cheng Yu answered with his hands raised, a look of joy on his face.
The same is true for Xun You and Guo Jia. They were the first group of people to follow Wang Can. After Wang Can was promoted, it was natural for them to follow him in promotion. So although they were happy, they were not too excited.
At this time, Xun You asked: "My lord, at today's banquet, you saw that my lord was not in a good mood. I don't know what is bothering my lord and making it difficult for my lord to rest assured."
Wang Can sighed and said: "When I entered Jingzhou, I found a peerless general like Huang Zhong, and also obtained the talents of three county guards, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao. When I was in Jingzhou, the three of them defected to me and wanted to come to Chengdu.
But Huang Zhong left for Chengdu much later, and had already arrived in Chengdu. They set off earlier, but had not arrived yet. I was worried, so I was not very interested."
Guo Jia said: "My lord, in this case, it is possible that they have arrived in Chengdu, but they just did not have time to meet my lord."
Wang Can shook his head and said, "It's impossible. I gave three people letters of introduction. If they arrive in Chengdu, there's no way they won't come to the Prefectural Mufu."
Cheng Yu suggested: "My lord, Sword Master Wang is in charge of the Hero Building, why not let him send someone to investigate the situation?"
After hearing this, Wang Can felt a little moved, but finally shook his head and said: "It's not easy to find three people in the huge sea of people. Chengdu is such a big city, with countless people coming in and out every day, sending people to search is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.
It is difficult to find them. However, the three of them are all gentlemen, and they will never go back on their promises. Now that they have not arrived in Chengdu, it may be that they encountered some delays on the way and did not come to the Prefectural Mufu."
At this time, Wang Can was already looking for excuses to comfort himself.
He was very worried because he cared too much about Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Shi Tao.
These three people are very important.
After hearing this, Guo Jia fell into deep thought. After a while, he said loudly: "My lord has formed an alliance with Liu Biao, and the checkpoints set up by both parties will definitely be easy to pass. Now that Yizhou is relatively peaceful, Xu Shu and others are on their way quickly, and there is no possibility of delay."
My lord, Jia thinks that Xu Shu and the others have arrived in Chengdu, but they are not willing to rely on the lord's recommendation letter to become an official. They may go to the recruiting office and rely on their own abilities to become an official."
"Yes, yes, it's probably the Talent Recruitment Center!"
After Wang Can heard this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In the novel, Pang Tong was recommended by Zhuge Liang, but he did not use a letter of recommendation. Instead, he became a county magistrate based on his own ability and did not go to Liu Bei. Now that Xu Shu and three people have arrived in Chengdu, it is probably the same. Wang Can looked at
Cheng Yu asked: "Mr. Zhongde, you are responsible for recruiting talents, have you ever received any news?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "My lord returned to Chengdu, and things suddenly became more complicated. I haven't been to the recruiting office for a few days, and I don't know what's going on."
Wang Can nodded and shouted: "Come here!"
Suddenly, a soldier walked in from outside the study and bowed to Wang Can. Wang Can ordered: "Go to the Talent Recruitment Center immediately to find out if there is any news about Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian. Go and come back quickly. Don't
Delay time."
"promise!"
The soldiers got the order and turned around and left.
Seeing Wang Can's uncertain expression, Xun You consoled him: "My lord, Xu Shu and the other two have promised me that they will definitely not return. My lord, you can just wait with peace of mind, don't worry."
Wang Can shook his head. He knew the talents of Xu Shu and the others, so he had to worry. In the novel, Liu Bei got Xu Shu and defeated Cao Cao in a row. This is enough to show Xu Shu's ability. Now Wang Can not only got Xu Shu, but also Meng Jian and Shi
Tao, these two people are backbone figures who can support the development of Yizhou.
With the addition of Meng Jian and Shi Tao, Wang Can can place the heads of two major counties without having to worry about selecting county guards. How can Wang Can not be anxious with such talents?
Cheng Yu saw Wang Can's anxious expression and smiled instead.
It is quite rare for someone in Wang Can's position to be able to treat virtuous officers with courtesy.
In the study, Wang Can was not in the mood to talk, waiting for the soldiers who went to find out the news to return. As for Cheng Yu, who was older, he squinted his eyes slightly and closed his eyes to rest. On the other side, Guo Jia and Xun You were sitting quietly, thinking about their own affairs.
.Currently, Xun You and Guo Jia still plan to kill Dong Zhuo, and both of them have heavy tasks.
As long as Dong Zhuo does not die, the Han Dynasty will not be in chaos.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo must die.
Guo Jia, in particular, was the person in charge of planning this matter. For a period of time, he had been thinking about how to kill Dong Zhuo and cause the princes to fight for hegemony... About half an hour later, the soldiers who inquired about the news returned. Wang Can hurriedly asked
: "How's it going? Have you found Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian?"
The soldier bowed respectfully and replied: "Sir, the three of them did go to the recruitment hall and were hired. They have now been assigned to serve as county magistrates and manage the land and water."
After Wang Can heard this, he secretly lamented that the talents were overkill and underutilized. Using Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian as county magistrates to take care of trivial matters was undoubtedly like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes and killing chickens with a sledgehammer.
He looked at Cheng Yu and asked: "Mr. Zhongde, who is in charge of the recruitment office now?"
Cheng Yu cupped his hands and replied: "My lord, all matters in the Talent Recruitment Hall are handled by Dong He. Although Dong He is Liu Yan's subordinate, his ability is very outstanding. More importantly, he has an upright character and will not engage in malpractice for personal gain. He has
Dong He manages the recruitment hall and will not bury people without talent."
Cheng Yu glanced at Wang Can, as if he knew what Wang Can was thinking, and said: "Because the official position of the county governor is too big for ordinary people to be qualified for, so except for military generals, all the people who come to the recruitment hall are civil servants."
Officials at the county magistrate level start from the grassroots level and can continue to be promoted after at least some achievements."
After hearing this, Wang Can's expression calmed down.
Regarding Xu Shu and others, he understood that these people were by no means more than just county magistrates.
In the past, Cai Yong was appreciated by Dong Zhuo. He was promoted to three levels in one day and promoted three times in a row, which was a moment of glory. Wang Can is now the shepherd of Yizhou, commanding the military and political power of Yizhou. Isn't it easy to promote someone to an official position? He can do it too.
Promote Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian, so that the three of them will be promoted from county magistrates to prefects of a county, and they will be the guardians of one side.
Under the current situation, Wang Can can only have a chance to compete in the Central Plains if he manages Yizhou well.
In a war, victory is not achieved only by good soldiers.
This requires logistical support such as food and grass supplies, weapon forging, etc. What Wang Can has to do is to train elite soldiers, accumulate food, and accumulate strength, so that he can seek benefits in the chaos.
