Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

P.S.: Good news, the lockdown is over.

The Prefect's Office Council Hall.

All the generals gathered.

Everyone had smiles on their faces and was chatting with each other.

Everyone was happy because of Duan Yu's promotion.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.

Duan Yu has been promoted, and those of them who are his subordinates, especially his staunch followers, will definitely benefit from his promotion.

Governor of Liangzhou.

Although it is Liangzhou.

It has a population smaller than that of a single prefecture in Ji Province, but it is still a province.

No matter how great the power and ability of a prefect, it is still limited to the position within a single prefecture.

Moreover, there was a governor above him who was suppressing him.

There are very few prefects as powerful as Duan Yu in the entire Han Dynasty.

It's better now.

With the governor gone, Duan Yu now held absolute control over the military and political affairs of Liangzhou.

Geng Bi has only been in office for a short time.

As a result, a type of attendant also died, and the governor, who hadn't gained any significant benefits, was immediately extremely embarrassed.

The governor has the authority to directly appoint prefects, establish their own offices, and oversee all military and political affairs.

A thoroughly powerful regional official.

Civil and military officials sat on either side of the hall.

Jia Xu, Gai Xun, Yang Fu, Yan Zhong, Jiang Xu, Liu Baitu, and others sat on the left side.

Gao Shun, Chen Qing'an, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xun, Lü Bu, Qu Yi, Li Jue, Guo Si, Wang Fang, Li Meng, Zhang Xiu, and others are positioned on the right.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stood behind the main seat.

Wine, meat, and delicacies were laid out on the tables in front of everyone.

Duan Yu, dressed in a black robe, walked out from behind the screen in the main hall.

The moment Duan Yu emerged from behind the screen, everyone in the hall stood up instantly.

"We congratulate you, my lord, on your great success."

"We congratulate you, my lord, on your great success."

"We congratulate you, my lord, on your great success."

Duan Yu smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down.

After Duan Yu lifted his black robe and took his seat, the many civil and military officials in the hall also took their seats.

Everyone turned their attention to Duan Yu, waiting for him to speak.

"He gained the emperor's trust and was appointed governor of Liangzhou."

"But I have never forgotten my original aspiration."

"You've all heard about the current turmoil in the Central Plains."

Everyone nodded.

Although the Way of Peace had just begun, its scale was unprecedented in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.

The series of appointments and measures announced from Luoyang are unprecedented.

The Party Prohibitions were abolished.

Distribute money and grain to the West Garden.

A new army was formed to guard the eight passes of Luoyang.

He appointed Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo and others to lead troops to suppress the rebellion.

He Jun was appointed Grand General.

Duan Yu was appointed Governor of Liangzhou.

These measures and personnel appointments were enough to shake the entire Han Dynasty.

"His Majesty appointed me as the Governor of Liangzhou in order to stabilize the situation on the border. Therefore, the responsibilities that I and you all bear are now even heavier."

"If the Central Plains are in turmoil and the borders remain unstable, then I will have failed His Majesty's trust."

Do you understand?

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Therefore, today is not only to celebrate my promotion to Governor of Liangzhou, but also to mark the first political transfer I have made since taking office as Governor of Liangzhou."

Duan Yu's gaze first fell on Gai Xun.

"Yuan Gu."

Gai Xun quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "My lord."

Duan Yu nodded and said, "I hereby formally appoint you as the Prefect of Jincheng County."

"Zhang Xun." Duan Yu then turned his gaze to Zhang Liao's older brother, Zhang Xun.

"Your subordinate is here!" Zhang Xun stood up and replied.

"You are appointed Commandant of Jincheng County, in charge of the troop movements in Jincheng."

"You two must work together to ensure that the mulberry planting and silkworm breeding policies implemented this year are fully implemented among the Qiang people around Jincheng County."

"Furthermore, Huang Zhongyi disappeared after fleeing from Beigong Boyu to Wuwei County last year, but I estimate that he will definitely make a comeback. You must be on guard in Jincheng County."

"Do you understand what your mission is?" Duan Yu said.

The two stepped forward from their respective positions.

"Your humble servant obeys!" Gai Xun replied excitedly, cupping his hands in thanks. "Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness. I will certainly live up to your trust!"

"This subordinate obeys!" Zhang Xun's expression was also extremely excited.

When Zhang Xun first followed Duan Yu, he was just a military commander in Yanmen County.

Now, he has been promoted to the position of Commandant of a prefecture, second only to the Prefect, and has a salary of 1,000 shi (a unit of grain).

This is already a leap across social classes.

Everyone looked at Gai Xun and Zhang Xun with envy.

Duan Yu smiled and nodded.

Why are these people following him?

It's not because Duan Yu has any extraordinary personal charisma.

Following others is also a form of investment.

These people follow him because they are optimistic about his future development and believe that they can benefit from following him.

This is the true original intention.

They were granted official titles and ranks, and were rewarded with money and grain.

These are all methods used by those in power to consolidate the loyalty of their subordinates.

After Gai Xun and Yang Fu took their seats, Duan Yu turned his attention to Yang Fu and Chen Qing'an.

"Yishan, Qing'an".

With Gai Xun and Zhang Xun as examples, both of them knew that they were now being rewarded.

"Yishan, you will be the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery, and Qing'an will be the Commandant of Hanyang Commandery. The two of you will jointly govern Hanyang Commandery."

"Hanyang Commandery is still the seat of Liangzhou. I am entrusting this important position to the two of you, and I hope that you will continue to work hard."

Yang Fu took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply, saying, "My lord, I am of limited talent and learning; how can I possibly shoulder such a great responsibility? I fear I will fail your trust..."

Duan Yu smiled and shook his head.

His bestowal of honors was not arbitrary.

The Yang family was a prominent clan in Hanyang Commandery, and the foremost aristocratic family in Hanyang Commandery.

Based on the principle that matters in Liangzhou should be governed by the people of Liangzhou.

Yang Fu was the perfect candidate to serve as the governor of Hanyang Commandery.

Moreover, from the very beginning, when he first took office as the governor of Hanyang Commandery, Yang Fu stood by his side without hesitation, directly opposing Liang Hu.

For this reason alone, Yang Fu deserves to be appointed as the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery.

This was also a demonstration by Duan Yu to the gentry in the other counties of Liangzhou.

Those who submit to Duan Yu will surely be rewarded.

As for why Chen Qing'an was appointed as the Commandant of Hanyang Commandery.

The reason is also very simple.

Chen Qing'an was a fellow villager he brought from Jinyang, and one of the people he trusted most.

Hanyang Commandery was the capital of Liangzhou and also his stronghold.

Therefore, we must leave the most trusted people here to guard the main base of Hanyang County.

Although he has not yet sent troops to suppress the Taiping Dao, judging from Liu Hong's arrangements and the contents of the imperial edict, it shouldn't be too long before he does.

Once he leaves Liangzhou, everything here will need to be managed by someone he trusts.

"Yishan is too modest. I trust you, and I am well aware of your abilities."

Duan Yu turned his gaze to Chen Qing'an: "Qing'an, you should learn more from Yishan and consult him more on matters of state, understand?"

"This subordinate understands," Chen Qing'an replied.

"Yishan, Qing'an was brought from Jinyang by me. He is young, so you need to teach him more things. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Fu nodded quickly.

Duan Yu's words were loaded with meaning, and Yang Fu, being a clever man, naturally understood.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Immediately afterwards, Duan Yu appointed Li Jue as the Commandant of Longxi Commandery.

Guo Si was appointed Commandant of Beidi Commandery.

Yan Zhong was appointed as the Prefectural Governor of Liangzhou, and Jiang Xu was appointed as the Attendant of Liangzhou.

Zhang Liao was appointed Protector-General of the Qiang, assisted by Wang Fang and Li Meng.

Gao Shun, Lü Bu, Qu Yi, Zhang Xiu, and others recruited soldiers and began training them.

After the bestowal of titles and rewards, everyone was given their new official positions and tasks.

............

After the banquet and the bestowal of rewards.

Duan Yu left Jia Xu and Liu Baitu alone.

A small meeting was then held in the study.

The intelligence that came from Jia Dong in Jizhou was mainly divided into three parts.

One of the most important parts is about the Way of Peace.

There are two other parts.

One is about the Zhen family of Zhongshan.

Another thing is that Jia Dong has now infiltrated the Taiping Dao.

"The Zhen family of Zhongshan".

Sitting in his study, Duan Yu sipped a hangover soup, tapping his fingers lightly on the table with his eyes half-closed.
