Three Kingdoms: I can summon famous generals from all worlds

Chapter 146 Youzhou Mansion

After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Yan Gang's expression froze slightly.

Gongsun Zan's meaning is very simple, you can listen to your opinion on this matter, but if something really goes wrong, someone must take responsibility, and the person who takes this responsibility is naturally Yan Gang.

Yan Gang understood that letting Liu Bian go was actually a decision made by Gongsun Zan.

But this decision was risky after all. Gongsun Zan needed to find a convincing reason, or in other words, he needed to find a guarantor.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Yan Gang immediately cupped his fists and said:
"If the subordinates make a wrong judgment, they are willing to be punished by the general!"

"it is good!"

Gongsun Zan immediately said hello, and then said, "Go and call that gold-masked military commander in, come here, get them some weapons, and arrange for them to leave."

"Yes, General."

Yan Gang saluted again, and then withdrew, feeling bitter in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he helped Gongsun Zan express some of his own thoughts, but in the end the responsibility fell on himself.

Gold-masked strategist...don't cheat on me...

Looking at Liu Bian standing outside the lobby, Yan Gang secretly said something.

……

Youzhou Prefecture.

On this day, it was the time for the people to count the granary for the last autumn harvest, and many soldiers inside and outside the granary in Youzhou Mansion were busy going back and forth.

"This year's harvest is good. In today's troubled times, there are not many places that can still have such a harvest."

A general dressed in a style outside the Great Wall was standing outside the granary directing the soldiers, while talking with a Confucian scholar beside him.

"It's all thanks to Master State Shepherd."

The Confucian scholar nodded, and said with a warm expression: "In this troubled world, the people of Youzhou can still live and work in peace and contentment. It is due to the benevolent government implemented by the state shepherd. I believe General Xian Yufu also feels it."

That general was the subordinate of Youzhou Mu Liuyu, Xian Yufu.He was originally from Yuyang, Youzhou, and because he was close to Wuhuan, they had a good friendship with each other.

After hearing what the Confucian scholar said, Xian Yufu nodded with emotion and said, "Master Zhou treats both Han and Hu people equally, and does not treat them differently, which makes the territory of Youzhou stable. What Mr. Wei You said is right. I Youyou The state can have the stability it has today, thanks to Master Zhou Mu. However, there are also great hidden dangers in Youzhou today."

These Confucian scholars are Liu Yu's subordinates Cao Chuan and Wei You.

As if he had already thought that Xian Yufu would say this, Wei You just stroked his beard lightly and said:

"The hidden danger mentioned by General Xian Yufu is that Gongsun Zan of Peking."

"Mr. knows my heart."

Xian Yufu nodded and said, "Now the people of Youzhou live and work in peace and contentment under the leadership of Lord Zhou Mu, but Gongsun Zan allows his soldiers to plunder everywhere, and is even responsible for intercepting the looting of Xianbei people, while they themselves attack the people! It is a violation of military discipline! I have heard more than once that the cavalry under Gongsun Zan will not attack the Xianbei cavalry immediately when they find the Xianbei cavalry, but follow them secretly, and then attack the Xianbei cavalry after the Xianbei cavalry loots. The food that originally belonged to the people! It's really unexpected that such a thing would dare to happen in the territory of Youzhou under the rule of Lord Zhou Mu!"

The more Xian Yufu spoke, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but hit the ground heavily with the sheathed long sword in his hand.

But Wei You was not as angry as him, on the contrary, he said to Xian Yufu:

"Don't worry, general. Although Gongsun Zan is not good at governing and treats the people in the area under his jurisdiction not as good as Master Zhou Mu, he is not useless. Now he has a large number of soldiers, at least they are doing their duty in defending the Xianbei people, and it can be said that What he did was good. In addition, Gongsun Zan has too many troops and insufficient military resources, and he is not good at governing the people. It is a last resort for his subordinates to raise some military supplies in this way. It is better to take [-] steps back than to be defeated by Xianbei people. Take it, okay?"

"But……"

Wei You's words obviously failed to convince Xian Yufu, and he immediately wanted to refute.

But Wei You saw what he wanted to say, and immediately said, "But what?"

"General Xian Yufu, the current situation in Youzhou is not bad, even if you look at it from a global perspective. The governor of the state governs the people's livelihood, and Gongsun Zan governs the defense of the army. Both sides can be regarded as first-class methods."

"But things are always difficult. The Lord State Shepherd and Gongsun Zan have a bad relationship. You don't like Gongsun Zan's actions. Could it be that the State Shepherd who has always advocated benevolent government likes it? But so what? Who can replace Gongsun Zan now? Resist the Xianbei people? Who can order Gongsun Zan's powerful troops? Even Lord Zhou can only maintain the status quo temporarily."

Xian Yufu stared at him, but was interrupted by Wei You raising his hand.

"I understand that General Xianyu Fu, your ability is not inferior to his Gongsun Zan, and you know how to care for the people better than him. But you should also understand that you can't live without you by Mr. Zhou Mu."

With that said, Wei You moved closer to Xian Yufu, and whispered:

"Since Gongsun Zan and Lord State Shepherd are at odds with each other, even if you have no intention of going against Gongsun Zan at the moment, you must be on the defensive. Lord State Shepherd must have a capable general by his side, and this person, Besides you, general, where else is there?"

"Our Master State Shepherd is not good at military affairs, you don't know that, if there are no generals like you, I'm afraid Gongsun Zan would have attacked the people outside his jurisdiction long ago! Not to mention that he will use the military to suppress Lord State Shepherd gone."

Wei You's words calmed down the dissatisfaction that had arisen in Xian Yufu's heart because he said that no one could replace Gongsun Zan. It was also a very realistic thing that Liu Yu needed him by his side.

Sighing lightly, Xian Yufu could only shake his head helplessly, and refocused on the soldiers transporting food.

At this moment, on the road not far away, a carriage came at a constant speed.

Wei You glanced at it, then turned his head and said to Xian Yufu beside him:

"General, Lord State Shepherd is here."

Xian Yufu turned his head, and then he and Wei You walked towards the carriage together.

The carriage stopped, the curtain on the carriage was lifted, and a tall and straight figure stepped out of it, and slowly got off the carriage.

"Xian Yufu has met Lord State Shepherd."

"Wei You, see Mr. State Shepherd."

The two saluted together. In front of them, this man with a tall and straight figure, relatively plain clothes, gentle temperament and quite dignified temperament was Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.

"Don't be too polite."

Liu Yu was obviously in a good mood. He smiled and let the two of them flatten out. Then he looked over the two of them, looking at the granary behind and the busy soldiers.

"How is the harvest this year? Is there any difficulty in collecting grain and storing it in the warehouse?"

It's business for Liu Yu to speak.

Wei You immediately opened an account book in his hand, handed it to Liu Yu and said:
"Lord Huizhou Mu, although there were the Yellow Turbans and the conquest of Dong Zhuo before, this year's harvest is slightly lower than last year, but the quantity is not large, less than [-]%. Coupled with last year's surplus grain, Youzhou's harvest this year will be There will definitely be no shortage of food. All the quantities and types of food have been counted and are now being put into the warehouse. They will also be counted here when they are put into the warehouse. Cheng Xu is leading people inside to take charge of this matter. Finally, the two of us will compare the account books. , that’s it.”
