Wang Shang had a clear mind, and Liu Zhang was a rare wise master. Now that the family's interests were guaranteed, he no longer hesitated and set an example for others.
Wang Shang not only directly supported Liu Zhang as the shepherd of Yizhou, but also knelt down to recognize him!
"Wang Fu, Wang Shi pays homage to the Lord!"
Wang Shang all recognized his master, Wang Fu, and Wang Shi, as clan brothers, naturally did not dare to hesitate and knelt down one after another to recognize Liu Zhang as their master.
Often with a beginning, what follows not only becomes logical, but also quite urgent!
Qin Xun secretly hated himself for hesitating and being taken advantage of by Wang Shang, so he quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Qin Xun, on behalf of the Mianzhu Qin family, fully supports General Wei in taking over the post of Zhou Mu! Qin Xun has admired Lord Zhou Mu for a long time because of his wisdom and martial prowess. In the future, he will be driven by Lord Zhou Mu!"
Qin Xun lowered his stance and even begged Liu Zhang to accept him.
Liu Zhang naturally couldn't ignore Qin Xun and helped him up personally.
"Liu Zhang is overjoyed to get Qin Cheng's help! Please get up quickly!"
Qin Xun stood up and bowed to Liu Zhang again.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Liu Zhang patted Qin Xun on the shoulder, gave him a look of relief, and then helped Wang Shang, Wang Fu and Wang Shi in turn.
"Liu Zhang would like to thank you for your respect!"
Seeing that Liu Zhang was still saluting him, Wang and Shang were excited and quickly leaned over to return the salute to Liu Zhang.
"I will go through fire and water for my lord without hesitation!"
As the leading figures, Wang Shang and Qin Xun, their submission made other civil servants no longer have any doubts and they all bowed down.
"I'll pay my respects to Mr. Zhou Mu!"
"Okay! Everyone, please get up!"
Everyone except Ren An recognized Liu Zhang, and only Ren An did not express his position.
It wasn't that Ren An had any objections to Liu Zhang, nor that he felt Liu Zhang was unworthy of the position of Yizhou Mu, but that he suddenly bowed down to a child was a little hard to accept.
Ren An has passed his sixtieth year and will reach his seventies in a few years. Before, Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan respected him and asked him to bow to Liu Yan's son. He was really embarrassed.
However, Ren An is the only one left in the palace who has not expressed his position. Ren An cannot insist on his own way. After all, he still has a family, and the Ren family will still need to live under Liu Zhang's rule in the future.
"See you Ren An..."
Just as Ren An was about to bow down, his hand was firmly held back. When he looked up, he saw that it was Liu Zhang!
"Mr. Ren is a great scholar in this world, how dare I be so rude? As long as Mr. Ren can continue to serve as a Zhizhong to help me, I will be grateful!"
Ren An felt moved, and all his dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang disappeared instantly.
"Yes, Ren An obeys!"
Liu Zhang and Ren An looked at each other and smiled, and the previous unhappiness was instantly wiped out.
Liu Zhang succeeded to the position of prefecture pastor and won the support of everyone. Now only Zhang Su, who was not from Guanghan County, was left in the room. Zhang Su also did not express any attitude.
"Zhang Zongzhi has nothing to say to me?"
Liu Zhang couldn't bear Zhang Su's awkward position, so he took the initiative to ask him.
In fact, Liu Zhang valued Zhang Su very highly, both in terms of ability and character.
However, it is not necessary to force others to be important. At present, Zhang Su's Zhang family are all in Shu County, so Zhang Su will inevitably have some concerns.
"Hey, General Wei, please forgive me. Zhang Su wants to resign and go home. Please ask General Wei to make it happen."
Zhang Su was also very conflicted at this time. He didn't want to miss Liu Zhang as his master, but he also had to consider what consequences his decision would bring to the Zhang family!
After much deliberation, the only option was to resign and go home to avoid these disputes.
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, neither blaming nor trying to persuade him to stay. On the contrary, he felt that Zhang Su's decision was a good explanation for both parties.
"good."
Zhang Su glanced at Liu Zhang gratefully, then waved his hands and left.
Neither of them said a word, but they both knew it well and kept it secret!
Now there were only people left in the room who had chosen to support Liu Zhang, and it was time for Liu Zhang to explain some things.
"I believe that there are many people in your family who hold important positions in various counties in Guanghan County. I don't have too many requirements. In a word, the virtuous people will live there!"
"I promise not to pursue the past matters, but from now on, if the children of your family still don't repent and still act recklessly, don't blame Honshu Mu's ruthless men."
"Also, the Honshu Pastoral Council of the remaining eight counties will send troops to conquer as soon as possible. If there is a clan among you who serves as county magistrate, inform him that when the troops arrive, open the door to welcome them as soon as possible. As for the position of county magistrate of the nine counties, as long as they can resist, they can temporarily There will be no transfers.”
"Do you all understand?"
It can be said that Liu Zhang's request was not excessive, and he already showed his sincerity by not letting the past go.
Naturally, these family officials knew Liu Zhang's kindness, and they all thanked him.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou Mu. We will only obey Mr. Zhou Mu's instructions."
"Okay, everyone, please go back first. When Guanghan County is completely calmed down, we will make arrangements for you."
At present, it is only a matter of time to occupy Guanghan County, but after all, the other eight counties have not been actually occupied yet. Now Liu Zhang must concentrate on completely incorporating Guanghan County into his territory.
"As you command!"
None of the civil and military ministers had any objections and all resigned.
"If evil comes, quickly send someone to inform the military advisor and ask him to rush to Mianzhu as soon as possible."
For many things, Liu Zhang felt that it would be safer to discuss them with Xun You.
"As you command!"
Dian Wei immediately ordered his soldiers to ride fast horses to inform Xun You.
Since Xun You was a grain transport unit, his movement speed was definitely not as fast as that of Liu Zhang's day and night pursuit troops. Therefore, Xun You had just reached Fujian County when he received Liu Zhang's call.
Fortunately, Fuxian County had been captured by Xu Huang and Zhang Liao who came from behind. Xun You handed over all the grain, grass and troops to Zhang Liao, and ordered Xu Huang to guard Fucheng. Zhang Liao led his troops to transport grain to Mianzhu. Xun You rode quickly to Mianzhu.
Xun You hurriedly hurried and did not arrive at Mianzhu until midnight.
Ignoring the fact that the time was already at midnight, Xun You rushed directly to Liu Zhang's Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
When Liu Zhang was sleeping, soldiers from the Wuwei camp were guarding him day and night, and ordinary people were absolutely not allowed to be disturbed.
Xun You had a special status. These soldiers knew that their lord Liu Zhang was summoning him urgently, so they risked being blamed to wake him up.
Liu Zhang was originally very unhappy to be awakened from his sweet dream, but when he heard that Xun You had arrived, he didn't care about anything else and directly invited Xun You into the house.
"Gongda, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Zhang just asked Xun You to inform Xun You to rush to Mianzhu as soon as possible, but he never expected that Xun You would rush on his way overnight.
Looking at Xun You who was tired and dusty, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
"My lord, you're welcome! My lord is looking for me anxiously. He must have something important to discuss, right?"
