Over the past few years, the light and dark sentries in Qingxu and Xu have performed their respective duties, and the messages delivered have always been timely, effective, and accurate!

Speaking of which, there are quite a few capable and righteous people under his command.

Everyone has an area that is extremely outstanding and good at. After maximizing their advantages, each of them will not be like other people who want to be jealous and scheming all day long.

The cooperation between them is extremely tacit.

They get along harmoniously and naturally have a great impact on the development of each other's clans.

However, among them, the most prosperous one is still less than the Zhuge family.

Although the Langya Zhuge clan is not a big clan in name and has only been around for a relatively short time, there are quite a few people in this clan who are officials.

The most important thing is that they are basically serving as officials under Xi Yu.

On the other hand, Guo Jia's clan is relatively small.

After all, his family was only a small one, and it was only in his generation that it began to branch out and have a few descendants.

Speaking of this, Xi Yu has always felt that she is very lucky.

Because whether it is Zhuge Kongming, Guo Jia, or even Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe and others, they are all presences that make him feel at ease.

Perhaps because he came from a humble background, he was particularly grateful for his kindness and was loyal to him.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the great cause they set out to achieve when they decided to follow them.

After all, judging from the current situation, although the great cause has not yet been successful, Xiyu's future is promising!

After taking a deep look at Guo Jia, Xi Yu smiled and said, "It seems that I can safely leave strategic matters to you in the future."

"My lord, you are joking."

Guo Jia calmly cupped his hands, with no hint of excitement or joy on his face, and then said: "Thanks to my lord's respect, what I say is just a matter of my job. I only hope that I can relieve you of your worries."

Although he didn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding next to Xi Yu, that was only compared to Xi Yu.

In fact, he is a quite aloof person, but he has never shown it in front of Xi Yu who is stronger than him.

"Okay, since you have guessed my next plan, I will leave this matter entirely to you."

Xi Yu waved his hand, Guo Jia understood and turned around to leave.

Anyway, the relationship between him and his lord has always been like this. They talk about things when they have something to do, and don't disturb each other when nothing happens.

Just as he opened the curtain, a voice asking for permission came from outside the door.

Zang Ba, who was originally going to Dongjun to "surprise" Xia Houchun, was waiting to be summoned outside the camp.

Speaking of which, this guy is pitiful. He had never fought such a frustrating battle in Taishan County.

The most important thing is that he always thought that he was just an insignificant presence in this battle, but who would have thought that the lord would actually use him as a bait to attract all the enemy's attention.

And the real main force is not who he thinks he is, but the flood!

But even if he was being used, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all.

The main reason is that the benefits given by the lord are too great, and the promise of becoming a marquis and prime minister is too tempting.

Fortunately, he lived up to his fate and won a great victory!

It's just that... I didn't persist for seven days, and I don't know what the Lord will do with me?

"My lord, the general is back."

Zang Ba walked in anxiously and bent down when he looked at Xi Yu sitting in the main seat.

Seeing his joking, Yu was very happy. With a smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward and patted the opponent on the back, saying: "You should be the first to win this battle. From now on, Mount Tai will be your fiefdom and farmland."

Whether it’s a garrison or a garrison, it’s up to you!”

"In addition, I will send people to Mount Tai to assist you in managing officials, stabilizing the morale of the army, calming the people, and establishing official schools, but... you have to make me feel at ease!"

After finishing the first half of the sentence, Zang Ba, who was full of joy, smiled like a chrysanthemum.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the corners of his mouth froze slightly, and then his smile gradually faded away.

This statement may be big or small, and everyone knows what peace of mind is.

Although Zang Ba has always given people the impression of being a gangster, like a silly big guy who has no clue, but in fact, he can become the prince of the mansion, and he still has some brains.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to surrender to Xi Yu with determination.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the general will know what to do!"

Zang Ba's face that had completely lost his smile was filled with absolute seriousness.

He asked Xi Yu for advice sincerely: "It's just that although the general has four sons, the two at the bottom are too young and still need to be taken care of."

"On the contrary, the two above have now reached the age of enlightenment. I wonder if I can ask my lord to take them to Xiapi to study at the Imperial Academy?"

A simple sentence means that Xiyu no longer has any worries.

This guy looks arrogant, but he's actually quite smart.

It was said that he was studying under the Imperial Academy of Pi, but to put it bluntly, wasn't he just being used as a hostage under his nose?

At the same time, he can also give the two boys an opportunity to contact or even get to know him, which is extremely valuable for his entire family.

This is not because he is arrogant, but when looking at the whole world, he does have the qualifications to be sought after and to please others.

If in the future those two boys are really talented and are appreciated by me, and they transform from being protons to beings with official positions and real power, it will be of great benefit to Zang Ba's entire family.

"If I remember correctly, your eldest son should be sixteen this year, and your second son should be fifteen. Both of them have practiced martial arts and read books. Since you have this wish, I should be satisfied. I believe you are also smart and know what to do.

do what."

"In a word, as long as you do what you should do, I will not treat you and your brothers badly!"

"My lord is righteous, I will thank you here!"

Overjoyed, Xi Yu fell to his knees on the spot, leaned over and kowtowed three times.

He knew very well how much he weighed. Although he ruled strictly and never retreated, it was somewhat difficult to shoulder the honor, disgrace and blessings of the entire family.

But what he didn't know was that just this little difference actually made Xi Yu feel more at ease.

Because in his opinion, this is the best expression of loyalty!

"Okay, now that the reward has been given, we should get down to business. Let me ask you, what do you think of our current development?"

"this······"

The sudden change of topic made Zang Ba hesitate. He didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Xi Yu, but if he were to speak truthfully...it seemed a bit unprofessional. Wouldn't it be easy to offend people?

So he said cautiously: "Should...is it okay?"

"At the very least, we have no worries in the Qingxu area. There have been no natural disasters there for many years. Coupled with your command and proper leadership, the people in the territory can live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life."

"In addition, the emergence of trading houses and the rise of trade routes have also given us a lot of confidence and support. There is no need to worry about food and grass in the country, and even the number of soldiers has exceeded 400,000!"

"In addition to these, there is a reserve army composed of nearly 100,000 new soldiers in the territory. Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, there are people with lofty ideals and talents, and they have countless meritorious deeds. It is really a big business and luxuriant branches!"
