In a few years, it is not just the battlefield in the northwest that has changed you, nor is it just Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song.
There are even more changes in Gongsun Zhu himself.
The prefect of Jincheng County is not just an official position.
At this time, Gongsun Zhu had completely controlled many cities in Jincheng County, and had gained a great reputation with the many soldiers and generals under his command.
After all, there is no force in the entire northwest that can compare with him, Gongsun Zhu.
Guan Ning is a great scholar in his hands. Although he is not easy to make suggestions, it has greatly deepened his reputation.
Moreover, he also helped Gongsun Zhu teach the people and promote enlightenment, even among the Qiang, Hu and Di people.
There were also two counselors, Cheng Gongying and Tian Chou. Among them, Cheng Gongying was a native of Liangzhou and was quickly promoted to a true hero by Gongsun Zhu.
Now Cheng Gongying himself is quite a distinguished presence in Liangzhou.
As for the generals, needless to say, Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son were very comfortable with Gongsun Zhu's support.
Compared with the ill-fated fate in history, the Ma family and his son were much more relaxed this time.
There were not so many intrigues. Because of his sworn sworn relationship with Gongsun Zhu, Ma Teng not only had his own troops and generals, but also had a very high status in Jincheng County.
Ma Teng does not have that big ambition, neither now nor in the future.
He only had more expectations for himself and his family, and that was all Gongsun Zhu gave him.
Give him a stable environment, give him enough troops to protect himself, and treat his eldest nephew Ma Chao very favorably.
At this time, Ma Chao was just a child. As soon as he entered Jincheng County, Gongsun Zhu was thrown in front of Guan Ning, and this great scholar in the world taught him on his behalf.
Even though Guan Ning is not very old now, his background and training are something Ma Teng can't even imagine.
Commander Ma Teng felt excited to have a great scholar like Guan Ning personally teach his son.
He even beat Ma Chao because he didn't want to study at first. It is said that he almost broke Ma Chao's legs.
It was Gongsun Zhu and Guan Ning who joined forces to save Ma Chao.
Guan Ning taught Ma Chao Xinyi strategy and the art of war, while Gongsun Zhu promised Ma Chao that as long as he was willing to study under Mr. Guan Ning.
Then give him the opportunity to form his own troops in the future.
Moreover, Ma Chao's knowledge will be assessed every six months, if his knowledge satisfies Gongsun Zhu and Ma Teng.
Gongsun Zhu will immediately fulfill part of his promise.
Under the "persuasion" of Gongsun Zhu and Guan Ning, Ma Chao successfully became Guan Ning's disciple.
And in the past four years, Ma Chao has changed a lot.
He still likes to gallop his horse across the vast land of the northwest, likes to lead troops to attack everywhere, and likes to get together with the Qiang, Hu and Di people.
He even did many impulsive and reckless things because of personal hatred.
However, at least his character is no longer so rebellious.
Most importantly, under the deliberate instruction of Guan Ning and Gongsun Zhu, he began to value family ties.
After all, his parents have been by his side this time, and Gongsun Zhu, as his uncle, also loves him very much.
But what made Ma Teng feel a little embarrassed was that Ma Chao was much more honest in front of them now, but his attitude towards Gongsun Zhu was obviously better than towards himself.
This... Gongsun Zhu felt very embarrassed.
But it is undeniable that he feels much more at ease now that Ma Chao is around him.
Ma Chao and Zhao Yun have become Gongsun Zhu's right-hand men, and their bravery has also helped Gongsun Zhu establish a firm foothold in the northwest.
Coupled with the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang and the many scribes around him, Gongsun Zhu at this time has enough strength to deal with the next thing.
"General, the northwest is relatively stable now. After Han Sui rebelled and surrendered several times, there is no force in the northwest that can stir up trouble.
I'm waiting to continue to supply food and mobilize troops, isn't it a little... a little too much..."
After a certain meeting, Liu Bei looked at Jincheng County, which was constantly fighting for troops, and finally couldn't help the panic in his heart and came to Gongsun Zhu.
I want Gongsun Zhu to give me an answer, or give myself a guarantee.
These words of Liu Bei are actually not important. There is only one thing that is really important, and that is what Gongsun Zhu wants to do!
It is understandable that Gongsun Zhu had been constantly preparing food and grass, constantly expanding his troops, and trying to find ways to use Meng Ta to open up trade routes in the Western Regions.
After all, chaos in the northwest comes one after another. As long as Gongsun Zhu doesn't do anything excessive and continues on the path of countering the rebellion.
Then even Huangfu Song wouldn't say much.
After all, in the past few years, because of Gongsun Zhu, the Qiang and Hu in the northwest have rebelled several times but have never been able to truly rise.
Because Gongsun Zhu had firmly curbed the development of the Qiang and Hu, and his Jincheng County was also confident of cutting the road between Yongliang and Yongliang.
At the very least, the Qiang and Hu from Liangzhou cannot be allowed to continue to get involved in entering Yongzhou.
Officially because of this, Gongsun Zhu was able to move forward steadily.
But during this period, Liu Bei looked at the increasingly peaceful Yongliang Prefecture in the northwest, and he felt that Gongsun Zhu should not have such thoughts.
And now he really can't find any other force worthy of Gongsun Zhu.
If there is one force... then maybe there is only one.
Gongsun Zhu himself!
So Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhu in front of him with a very embarrassed expression.
"Brother Xuande, are you worried that a certain family will become another Han Sui?"
Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, Gongsun Zhu also understood what Liu Bei was thinking and couldn't help but smile.
Also tell the other person directly that this is not necessary.
"You can rest assured, Mr. Xuande. A certain family does want to be crowned a general, but they don't want to become some treacherous minister or traitor.
At the very least... a certain family doesn't plan to start a rebellion in Liangzhou.
The rebellion here will not last long! "
After Liu Bei heard these words from Gongsun Zhu, his expression not only did not improve at all, but even became darker.
He always felt that Gongsun Zhu was not promising himself that he would not rebel.
It was more like he was telling himself that he would definitely rebel, but it was not the time yet.
This strange feeling made Liu Bei extremely uneasy.
Perhaps feeling the fear and uneasiness in Liu Bei's heart, Gongsun Zhu finally couldn't help but stood up slowly.
Under Liu Bei's cautious eyes, he whispered towards Liu Bei.
"Brother Xuande, you can rest assured.
A certain family has no intention of rebelling, not before, and not now. "
"Then you are so talented..."
"Just making some preparations." Gongsun Zhu interrupted Liu Bei's words, and then looked at the gloomy sky outside the window.
At this moment, his face also became a little gloomy.
"The sky...has changed!"
