"How is Nanyang?" Qi Zhen asked.
Logically speaking, whether it was Liang Sicheng or Tang Yi, after all, they were "breaking into the enemy's lines" single-handedly. What they could do was beyond Qi Zhen's expectation. In Qi Zhen's view, Liang Sicheng and Tang Yi The existence of the two of them is more likely to have to wait until the eighteen princes gather to form an alliance before their importance will be fully realized.
This is not the case for Huang Yueying and Liu Bei. The Huang family is deeply rooted in Nanyang County. Even Zhuge Liang has a hard time judging the influence of the Huang family in Nanyang and even Jingzhou. Therefore, if we talk about the results, under normal circumstances it should be Huang Yueying and the two of them. The results should be more obvious.
But obviously this was not the case. When Qi Zhen mentioned Nanyang, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"What? Do you still know?" Qi Zhen asked.
"I really don't know. Judging from the reports from surrounding counties, everything in Nanyang County is the same as before. Brothers Yueying and Xuande seem to have never appeared there. I thought they were at odds with each other. So I sent someone to deliver a letter..."
"What's the result?" Qi Zhen also became interested.
"The result is that everything is fine, don't worry about it..." Zhuge Liang fanned his feather fan vigorously a few times, and he didn't know whether it was because he was really hot or anxious, "You also know that my wife never listens to me very much."
Qi Zhen chuckled: "I know, you don't have to worry too much, I will always go there after some time."
"But Yuan Highway is exactly where I am most worried. After all, the fourth and third brothers of the Yuan family, one is in Bohai and the other is in Nanyang. The two of them are far away from each other, watching and helping each other. Maybe they are a terrible thing that affects the whole body. result……"
Qi Zhen raised her hand to interrupt Zhuge Liang and said, "Can you take care of it?"
Zhuge Liang sighed and shook his head.
"Then do you have any good ideas?" Qi Zhen asked next.
Zhuge Liang still shook his head.
"This is over. Anyway, you are not as smart as your wife. If you have time to worry, you might as well choose to trust her." Qi Zhen finally took the opportunity to hit Zhuge Liang, and also wanted to prevent him from worrying too much. Naturally, Show no mercy.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Qi Zhen with some resentment. It seemed that the matter of her husband's failure would become an eternal pain in the hearts of the chief counselors of the Three Kingdoms in the future.
"Okay, won't everything be revealed when I go to Nanyang in a few days?" Qi Zhen comforted with a smile.
Zhuge Liang nodded, acquiescing to Qi Zhen's statement.
"Is there any other news?" Qi Zhen asked.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said after careful consideration: "I think there is news that you may be more interested in."
"Hey, this is a mouse pulling a shovel, with the big head at the back. Is this the last news?" Qi Zhen asked with a smile.
Zhuge Liang nodded.
Qi Zhen said: "That must be very important news. I'm all ears."
"This news came from Luoyang." Zhuge Liang said.
Qi Zhen wondered whether Wang Jianguo and Zhaka had any new trends in Luoyang?
After Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself Emperor Xianfu, all the officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. However, after Dong Zhuo became the Prime Minister, he began to appoint officials and titles all over China in order to win people's hearts. Regardless of whether he had real talent or hard work, as long as he had enough If you are famous
OK, to show Dong Zhuo's thirst for talents.
Of course, there are people like Kong Ni who took great pleasure in obtaining official positions, and those who created him spared no effort. There are also some talents who are worthy of the name and have the ability to manage the world and benefit the people.
Of the various spies sent by Yuzhou, the largest number were in the direction of Luoyang, and the intelligence collected was the most complex.
Especially these matters of conferring officials and conferring titles are always happening these days. Even though Zhuge Liang may be said to be a semi-immortal, in the final analysis, he still views the general trend of the world at a high enough level and studies details very carefully, so he is often able to strategize.
The appointment and rotation of these officials have basically been recorded in his mind. After his summary and induction, he finally pointed to a very shocking result.
"Among the appointments of these officials, it is obvious that most of them are concentrated in Yong and Si prefectures. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo obviously wants to stabilize his rear area. Those officials are basically his direct relatives, and others are concentrated in Yan and Yu. The places closest to Luoyang, including the counties closest to Luoyang in Jingzhou, have also replaced Dong Zhuo's own direct descendants, and they should follow the same path. These are officials appointed by Dong Zhuo on his own initiative, and those appointed The basis is almost all recommendations from officials he trusts in the court." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
Qi Zhen nodded to express her understanding and waited for the next step.
"I don't know if Youzhou is afraid of Liu Yu's ideas, so there are almost no appointments. Qing and Jizhou are probably because they are within Yuan Shao's sphere of influence. Dong Zhuo didn't add any superfluous things. After Ding Yuan's death, Bingzhou probably hasn't been appointed yet. We didn’t have time to do anything, but it was already occupied by us, and we haven’t received any news so far.”
"The only place that is different from these states and counties is that almost all officials were actively recommended by the local governor for a blood exchange. All key positions, including the generals of the army, completed a major blood change from the inside out. I only started collecting relevant information after we arrived in Yuzhou. It doesn’t matter if you don’t see the results, I found that this state had already started doing this a long time ago." Zhuge Liang said lightly.
"You must not tell me this place is Yizhou." Qi Zhen said in disbelief.
"Yes, it's Yizhou." Zhuge Liang replied.
Qi Zhen scratched her head. If Lin Zhuang did all these things alone... No, how could he make the entire Yizhou obey him in such a short period of time?
It's not unbelievable, it's more accurate to say it's a fantasy.
"An even more incredible thing is yet to come. The latest news reported by spies this morning is that Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, resigned from his post due to poor health." Zhuge Liang also looked shocked when he said this.
Liu Yan has been in Yizhou for many years and has long since built Yizhou into a piece of iron. Such a large-scale exchange of blood did not cause a backlash from the counties below. This is a miraculous thing in itself. In addition, he has now taken the initiative to resign. …
According to Qi Zhen's understanding, if it was really Lin Biao's doing, being able to achieve such a smooth transition cannot be called a fantasy, it can be called a miracle.
"Who is the new governor of Yizhou?" Qi Zhen asked.
"There is no latest news, but I think it is not Lin." Zhuge Liang said.
Qi Zhen nodded, knowing that what Zhuge Liang said was right. With Lin Biao's ability and strategy,
, even if he really has the skills to occupy a state, he will never really sit in that position by himself.
The reason is easy to understand. The thinking of the team is very different from that of the various princes in this world. They naturally lack interest in things like competing for deer in the world. How can they put themselves in the position of the chief official of a state?
Everything is speculation, and the two of them cannot be sure whether these things were caused by Lin Biao, but there is no doubt that this series of things must be related to Lin Biao. This is a premonition shared by the two.
Zhuge Liang knew that Lin Biao had left the army a long time ago and stayed in Yizhou. He also heard from Qi Zhen that Lin Biao was a very smart man, but he did not have an intuitive understanding of what kind of wise man he was.
But Qi Zhen has it, but because of the information asymmetry with people in this world, it is difficult for Qi Zhen to explain to Zhuge Liang how powerful Lin Biao is.
Regarding what happened in Yizhou and Zhuge Liang's judgment, both of them fell into deep thought.
If it's him, what's the benefit? If it weren't for him, what would be the possibility and what would be the impact?
It's just that the two people are not thinking in exactly the same direction. In terms of height, Qi Zhen is slightly better.
"Report!" A soldier shouted outside the door, approaching from afar.
The two turned around and saw a soldier coming in a hurry. He cupped his fists and knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Master Kong has an order to lead the two military advisors to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters!"
"Okay, you go ahead and report back, and we'll leave immediately after we clean up." Zhuge Liang said.
"Here!" the soldier responded, turned around and ran away.
Qi Zhen and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
Something is coming.
A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at the governor's mansion, where Kong Min was already waiting.
Kong Min didn't get up to greet him. He sat behind the writing desk, holding a silk scroll in his hand. During the Three Kingdoms period, most literati used bamboo slips to record events. Silk or silk cloth could be used to record events, except for the imperial edicts of His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, only nobles can afford it.
When the two came, there were already many Qing guests and ministers waiting here, and they all greeted them with greetings.
A civil and military hall.
No one disturbed Kong Ni. The governor looked at the silk reel in his hand carefully several times before slowly looking away from it and placing the thing on the table with a snap.
"Kong Ming, come and take a look." Kong Min closed his eyes, not knowing what kind of emotions he was hiding.
Qi Zhen's mental power had already been explored, and she naturally knew that Kong Niao's state at this time was not depressed, but...excited.
Zhuge Liang was not polite. He stepped forward and unfolded the silk reel, looked at it carefully, was stunned for a moment, then put on an expression of surprise and said, "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!"
Kong Min's face had returned to calm at this time, and he said with a smile: "Why are you so happy?"
Seeing Zhuge Liang's state, Qi Zhen knew that this kid wasn't holding anything back, so she thought to herself, just pretend.
"The uprising of Duke Yuan at this time is a good opportunity for the lord to show his grand ambitions. Our Yuzhou is in a critical place in the world. When the lord leaves, he will naturally have made outstanding achievements. When the time comes, he will naturally be a minister who has made contributions to supporting the dragon. This is of course a big deal. A happy event!" Zhuge Liang said excitedly.
