Regarding the situation after leaving, Liu Bei was well prepared to separate the military and political affairs.
He has already chosen the person to take charge of Liangzhou's government affairs, and it is Yan Zhong.
"This time the emperor ordered me to go to Luoyang, but he did not think about removing me from my duties as pastor of Liangzhou and military commander of Yizhou. Therefore, I will take up these positions first. If there are any changes in the future, I will make arrangements. But I left After that, Liangzhou's government and military affairs also needed someone to take charge.
So I decided to hand over the government affairs of Liangzhou to Yan Biejia after I left. Yan Biejia would handle all the affairs on my behalf. It was the same as every time before. I believe Yan Biejia would be able to do a good job. Deal with these things. "
After Liu Bei finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to Yan Zhong.
Yan Zhong stood up seriously and saluted Liu Bei respectfully to show his respect.
"I will faithfully follow your orders, handle government affairs seriously, and never allow any loss of your hard work."
Liu Bei nodded and looked at Guan Yu aside.
This is the candidate he selected to advocate Liangzhou's military affairs.
Needless to say, Liu Bei was once worried that Guan Yu would stage a "careless loss of Jingzhou" drama in Liangzhou. However, after carefully inspecting Guan Yu, Liu Bei felt that he could trust him.
The so-called carelessness and loss of Jingzhou is really a lie. Guan Yu has done everything he can, building beacon towers and rebuilding the city. From a normal military perspective, even if Lu Meng makes a surprise attack, Jingzhou will not miss anything.
But no one thought that Mi Fang would surrender without a fight.
This directly turned the whole situation around.
Regarding personnel issues, Guan Yu may not have handled them well.
Judging from Liu Bei's observation, Guan Yu has only had a good relationship with a few old friends from Yuancong over the years. Among the remaining people, only Pang De, who had fought with him with real swords and guns, and fellow countryman Xu Huang had a relationship. friendship, the rest are just casual acquaintances.
His arrogance comes from his ability, which is indeed very strong and he is proud of it. However, when it comes to interacting with people, he often cannot let go of his figure. He is indeed a type of person with relatively low emotional intelligence.
But this is not the most important, because Guan Yu now has no personnel power or judicial power. These powers are divided by Liu Bei.
Guan Yu is only responsible for fighting and fighting. Naturally, more professional people will be responsible for other matters.
Liu Bei can still understand that professional matters should be left to professionals.
So he safely entrusted his military power to Guan Yu.
"Since Yun Chang followed me, he has experienced countless battles and made great achievements. He also did well as the prefect of Jincheng. All the things I have told him have been completed without any mistakes. I deeply understand that Deep trust in Yun Chang.
Therefore, I have decided that after I leave Liangzhou and go to Luoyang, the military affairs department of Liangzhou Prefecture will be held by Yunchang. Yunchang will be responsible for the military affairs of Liangzhou. I will express my gratitude to the imperial court and pay homage to Yunchang. He is a brave general. "
Everyone's attention shifted to Guan Yu again.
Guan Yu stood up happily and saluted Liu Bei.
"Yu Jin accepts the order, and the king treats you kindly. Yu will repay with his life. He will never slack off!"
Later, because Qian Zhao was transferred from the position of Liangzhou Registrar to the governor of Bajun, Liu Bei appointed the position of Liangzhou Registrar to Han Hao. Liu Bei temporarily appointed the Registrar Han Hao as Yan Zhong's deputy. While Liu Bei was living in Luoyang, he assisted Yan Zhong in handling Liangzhou state affairs.
He also appointed Liu Yong, a general of the Liu clan and a general of the House of Wu'an, as Guan Yu's deputy to assist Guan Yu in handling Liangzhou's military affairs while Liu Bei was in Luoyang.
After the military and political power arrangements were made, the rest remained as usual.
If Liu Bei wanted to go to Luoyang, he would mainly take with him the army. The state officials did not need to take many with him. What he needed were mostly aides who could make suggestions rather than administrative bureaucrats.
Liu Bei told everyone that most of the officials in Liangzhou still have to work in their original posts and continue Liangzhou's new policy reforms and cannot slack off. As long as they can do Liangzhou's things well, Liu Bei will have enough in Luoyang. Do things with confidence.
"Your talents are more than what Liangzhou can carry. I have never doubted this. No matter it is in the past, present or future, I believe that you can keep up with my pace and we can move forward together."
Liu Bei ended the internal meeting with these words, and everyone cheered.
After the meeting, a group of generals approached Liu Bei and asked him to take them to Luoyang instead of leaving them in Liangzhou.
Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, and Dong Huang, these three people are the most active.
They felt that although they had become prefects and had the responsibilities of prefects, they were still looking forward to following Liu Bei to Luoyang to lead troops and continue to make contributions.
Zhang Fei's statement was particularly positive.
"Brother Zhong is staying here to look after the family. Isn't it natural for me to follow my eldest brother to Luoyang? Brother, please take me with you."
Looking at Zhang Fei's pitiful appearance, Liu Bei laughed.
"Weren't you very happy to be the prefect before? I asked you to be the prefect, are you still not satisfied?"
"No, no, I'm happy to be the prefect."
Zhang Fei quickly waved his hand and said slowly: "But rather than being a governor, I still want to lead troops to fight. Now I feel that all the battles that can be fought in Liangzhou have been almost finished, and there are not many battles left that can be fought.
I work in the Prefect's Mansion every day. It was quite interesting at first, but after doing it, it became boring. Besides, besides me, there are several people in the Prefect's Mansion who can handle the things. Just leave it to them for the time being and nothing will happen. "
"So, you still prefer to be a general?"
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with a smile: "But the two thousand stone prefect is the one with real status."
"So it would be great if I could be a prefect and a general at the same time."
Zhang Fei chuckled and looked at Liu Bei: "Brother, don't you think that's what Brother Zhong is like now? While leading troops, he can also be his Jincheng prefect. Isn't it great?"
Liu Bei laughed.
"What you think is quite beautiful, but in the future, this kind of thing will become less and less. Leading troops will lead troops, refine the art of war, be a governor, and master the art of government. After all, there are only a few people who are versatile in both civil and military affairs. , most people are pretty good if they can do one thing well.”
Zhang Fei blinked.
“The future is getting less and less, so what about now?”
"I still don't know what you are thinking?"
Liu Bei smiled and sighed: "I know that no matter how you change your temper, it is still your true nature. You have been a restless person since you were a child. You started fighting with me when you were eleven or twelve years old. You will never be aggressive all your life. It can’t be changed!
Okay, this time when I go to Luoyang, you can go with me, but before you go, you have to pay close attention to me and arrange things in Longxi County. If there is any problem, I will dismiss you and call you You can't be the governor of two thousand stones! "
Zhang Fei quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, brother, I will definitely handle this matter, I will definitely handle it, there will definitely be no problems!"
"Why don't you go quickly then?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and ran away.
Xia Houyuan, Dong Huang and Zhang Fei were similar. They all wanted war more than they wanted to manage government affairs. Although they enjoyed the glory of being prefects, they saw the rising stars in the army catching up with or even surpassing them in military positions. , they were a little bit unable to sit still.
The main reason is that Liu Bei is too fierce.
He went south to beat the Qiang people, and went north to beat the Xianbei people. He kept the south and the north submissive, and the power of the Liangzhou army increased so much that even Xiaoxiao did not dare to cause trouble.
Originally, they thought that they could deal with Xiao Xiao's people while serving as prefects, and they would be happy with their military and political achievements. However, it turned out that Xiao Xiao was defeated very quickly, and they had no military achievements to gain.
Just by managing government affairs, will it take years and months to get promoted?
By then, the rising stars in the army will all become lieutenants, generals or even generals, and they are still working hard as captains.
That won't work!
Xia Houyuan and Dong Huang pestered Liu Bei and begged Liu Bei to take them with him when he went to Luoyang. If there was a war with He Jin, they would definitely take off He Jin's head and present it to Liu Bei.
Good guy, don't say anything, just worry about He Jin's head first. I don't know what He Jin will think when he finds out about this.
Among the first five generals, only Xiahou Dun was much calmer. He seemed to be quite satisfied with his current position and did not raise the idea of following Liu Bei.
Liu Bei also asked Xiahou Dun about this.
"Yuan Rang, don't you want to go to Luoyang with me?"
