Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 946 Temporary Compromise

  Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Ji Ping is a steady man. He has experienced hundreds of battles. After leading an army alone, he wins more and loses less. My brother can rely on him in the military."

  Liu Kun: ...This is not giving him the army. It is clearly to divide the military power from him, the governor, and only give him the right to manage the local area.

  However, Xuzhou is still the territory of King Langya. Most of the aristocratic families and gentry there obey the orders of King Langya. That is to say, he has to **** the local management right from King Langya.

  Liu Kun looked at Zhao Hanzhang resentfully, and wanted to ask her, did the words "I'm stupid" written on his face?

Zhao Hanzhang met his gaze, laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, then suddenly put away his smile, and said with a serious face: "Brother, I know that going to Xuzhou is not only difficult, but also dangerous. Wang Cheng died of Wang Dunzhi Hand. I let you go to Xuzhou, not because I don’t believe in your talent, on the contrary, I think Jinyang is relatively safe at this time, and my brother’s guarding Jinyang is a lack of talent. Moreover, I look around, only my brother in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty Can gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou."

  Liu Kun's heart was surging, he paused and asked: "Does Hanzhang mean to replace the heaven?"

  Zhao Hanzhang shook his head with a serious face, "I only hope that the world will be peaceful and there will be no more wars, and I have no intention of disobedience."

  Liu Kun breathed a sigh of relief, became serious, and said to her, "Okay, I'll go to Xuzhou and take care of Xuzhou for you."

  Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed and looked at Liu Kun with admiration.

  Liu Kun's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he talked happily with Zhao Hanzhang. The two expressed their views on the future development direction of Xuzhou and Jiangnan.

  Mainly Liu Kun inquired whether Zhao Hanzhang had the intention of centralizing power by force, and whether he should be used as a pawn... Ahem, although he was deeply aware of his lack of military talent this time, he thought he could improve through learning.

Liu Kun is not good at fighting, but he still has a sense of strategy. Although he really wants to make contributions and build a career, he still hints that this is not the time to use troops. He thinks that Zhao Hanzhang will have to wait for a while to centralize power. , After their forces have penetrated the Yangtze River and have a certain right to speak among the Jiangnan gentry, then they will do it.

  The best way is to peacefully centralize power and buy people's hearts among the gentry in Jiangnan. It is best to use Jiangnan people to govern Jiangnan and establish prestige, so that she can get more support.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded again and again, expressing that she did not want to fight again in the short term. She sighed: "There is a severe drought in the north, and the drought and locust plague have affected Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Sizhou. Even some areas in Yuzhou and Yanzhou were affected. As a last resort, the disaster of national subjugation and genocide is coming, and I will not raise troops at this time. After this battle is over, the people will need a long period of time to recuperate."

   If the fight continues, no matter how good her reputation is, the common people will turn against her in order to survive.

   At the time of life and death, the reputation of the superior is like a mirage in the sky to them, and it is useless at all. Looking at it, they will feel even more resentful.

  The desperate and starving people would think, why didn't Zhao Hanzhang save them? Since she wants to help the world, don't they belong to the world?

So she needs a Jiangnan agent. This person should be noble and neutral on the surface, but also has some connection with her. It is best to have a good reputation and great prestige, so that he can fight against King Langya and Director Wang and act for her. Temporarily stabilize Jiangnan.

   Central Plains and Northland need time to recuperate.

   There is no one more suitable than Liu Kun.

He came from a noble family and is one of the famous ministers at the moment. Because he sticks to Jinyang and sent troops to support Luoyang and Yuncheng several times, his reputation has spread all over the world, and the nobles are fascinated by him. He is an idol (otherwise, how could he attract so many refugees to Jinyang?), and now, the aristocratic families who have migrated from many places in the south of the Yangtze River, they will find their past in Liu Kun, and they will be impressed by his character and elegance;

  Not to mention the nobles in the south, Liu Kun's articles are very well written, and his reputation in the Jiangnan literature is stronger than hers, so he is very popular.

  Even those extravagant habits and dandy qualities that Zhao Hanzhang doesn’t like are also admired in Jiangnan for their chic and generous. Well, Jiangnan is really suitable for him.

Therefore, even though he has all kinds of problems, he doesn't even listen to people's persuasion, and he doesn't know people well, Zhao Hanzhang endured it all, in order to put him in the big dye vat of Jiangnan, and let him guard Jiangnan for her. The mouth, to curb the development of the forces of King Langya and Wang Dao.

  There is not a single wasted nail in this world. If there is one, it must be useless in the right place. If you twist it down, the nail will be twisted and useless.

Therefore, in order to build momentum for Liu Kun and make his reputation even higher, Zhao Hanzhang did not publicize that he lost the war or the bet. She praised several generals in public, including Liu Kun, thinking that Liu Kun He cooperated very well with Ji Ping and Li Tianhe, and successfully captured Liu Jie, making a great contribution.

   Liu Jie is the eldest son of Liu Cong, and his success in defeating him is second only to Liu Cong.

  After the boasting was over, the decree was officially promulgated, and Liu Kun was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, supervising Xuzhou's government affairs and military affairs, and Ji Ping was the general of the Xuzhou Army, who obeyed Liu Kun's orders;

  As for Jinyang, Zhao Hanzhang appointed Beigong Chun as the governor of Bingzhou, supervising the government affairs and military affairs of Bingzhou, Linghu Sheng and others did not move.

   That is to say, these generals of Liu Kun have been translated into Bei Gongchun's subordinates.

  Bei Gongchun is not only a general, he is also a kind-hearted person. The two contradictory personalities of arrogance and tolerance are perfectly integrated in him. He can listen to advice better than Liu Kun.

   Linghu Sheng communicated with his new boss and was very satisfied with him.

   Only Ji Dan was not very satisfied. As an aide, he wanted to follow Liu Kun, so his master was still Liu Kun.

As a subject, he naturally wants to proceed from Liu Kun's interests, and consider what to do next from Liu Kun's thoughts, so he and Liu Kun said: "My lord should not leave Linghu Sheng and the Jinyang army in Jinyang." , Now go to Xuzhou, the Lord should have his own manpower."

  Liu Kun sighed and said, "I made a bet with Hanzhang, and agreed that if I lose, I will listen to her."

   Ji Dan frowned, knowing that Liu Kun was loyal to the Jin family, so he said: "Does the lord believe that she has no intention of serving the world?"

Liu Kun said calmly: "Of course I don't believe it, so she just said it casually. But now the people in the world are in great distress, especially in the north, they are starving for thousands of miles. Only she can save them, and only she can give the people a long period of stability. .”

Ji Dan: ...After fighting for a long time, it is still a plastic brother-sister relationship. One just said so, and the other didn't believe it in his heart. But for the common interests of the people of the world and the present, one temporarily keeps his promise and honors the Jin family as respect, and the other temporarily believes that the other party has no intention of doing anything. world.

  Ji Dan rubbed his forehead and asked Liu Kun: "Hasn't my lord considered King Langya? He is also from the Jin family."

  Liu Kun curled his lips, "King Langya, the bloodline is long gone."

King Langya is a side branch of the distant branch, the blood relationship is too far away, and he himself has no achievements worthy of praise. Most of his current achievements depend on Wang Dao's strategy, and a small part comes from Wang Dun's. In the military, he only has a name.

  How could Liu Kun like him?
