Chapter 343: Visiting Relatives(1/2)

"What else?"

It's rare to hear someone speak so refreshingly with words of praise. Just as Xi Yu was listening, Zang Ba had already stopped describing.

After pausing for a few seconds, seeing that the other party stopped talking, he spoke decisively.

Ever since the floodgates were opened and floods flooded Dong County, he has had extremely abundant time, and now he has time to listen to people's praise.

Anyway, the river flooded and Cao Pi wanted to restore it to its original state as quickly as possible, but it was difficult to do so in a short time.

Widespread waterlogging has already occurred, and the entire Dong County is feared to have no harvest this year.

Not only that, in the next few years, the grain output of Dong County, which has been flooded, will not be able to increase.

If the fertile fields are to be fertile and the grains of grain are to be full, it will take at least several years to recover.

And after this waterlogging, I am afraid that the people of Dongjun will migrate on a large scale.

After all, no one wants to live in a place without security.

As a result, this place in Dongjun may soon be deserted.

At the very least, in recent years, not many people will come to settle here.

"Besides?"

Zang Ba's eyes widened and he thought for a long time, then scratched the back of his head, smiled innocently, and asked: "What else is there...? Lord?"

"How? You can't see it?"

Xi Yu glanced at him, then shook his head and sighed: "I originally thought that with your intelligence, you would be able to see the deeper meaning. In this way, I would be more upright in appointing you as the prefect of Dongjun. But who would have thought

You can’t even see it, what should I do?”

"East County..."

Governor of Dongjun?

Although Dongjun has become a vast ocean now, this place is much bigger than the place where I stayed before!

Zang Ba was stunned, not expecting that Xi Yu had such a plan.

He looked up and said resolutely: "Aside from Qingxu and Qingxu, my lord's greatest advantage is the emperor. We should take the emperor as the leader and use the eloquence and pen of the scholars from Qingxu and Xu as swords to attack the best ministers.

, reprimand Cao Wei in Yanzhou!"

"While preventing Cao Wei from being able to gain a foothold in the Han Dynasty, he should also obey the emperor's order to recruit and surrender the people in Yanzhou, especially the people in Dongjun who were affected by the disaster should be comforted and sympathized with."

"If we can persuade them to resettle in our territory, recuperate, and be given generous land and life, I'm afraid no one in this world will blame us when they mention this flood disaster."

"This will also put an end to the various 'slanders' and accusations made by everyone in Cao Wei against us because of this matter!"

"All in all, since we have won this battle, we must win it beautifully. We must not bear any infamy, let alone ruin your image in the minds of the people all over the world!"

"······"

When it came to his own interests, Zang Ba spoke out his true thoughts without any hesitation.

However, he never stood up from beginning to end.

He was lying on the ground feeling particularly uneasy at this time.

If he could, he would never say these words in front of others.

Because the flood disaster has already occurred, what I said was somewhat unpleasant.

If the other party is particularly concerned about it, I am afraid that he will be punished by contradicting him in anger, which will make him want to cry without tears, become speechless, and even annoy the other party.

But Xiyu was not as fussy as he thought.

Not only that, he also looked at Guo Jia, who was standing at the entrance of the tent, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, okay!"

Zang Ba raised his head and looked at the other party with a confused expression.

The Lord's laughter was somewhat too heroic.

That turbulent momentum and surging aura makes him look like a great hero!

But the laughter that comes from this unique posture actually makes people feel happy and empathetic.

"My lord...why are you laughing?"

Zang Ba felt that he was increasingly confused about what was going on.

He couldn't understand the inscrutable Xi Yu, so he turned to look at Guo Jia, trying to find the answer.

At this moment, Xi Yu spoke.

"Actually, Guo Jia recommended you to me long before I went to Mount Tai. He said that you may seem rude and like a reckless man, but in fact you are a thoughtful person."

"You also said that you have done research on the people's livelihood, military, and even the topography of Yanzhou, and you are the best choice to guard Yanzhou. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, but today I saw that I had underestimated you."

"ah?"

Some of Zang Ba's Erzhan monks were confused and looked at Guo Jia in surprise, wondering why the other party was doing this?

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of the night he had been drinking.

"My lord, when Lord Fengxiao went to Mount Tai to escort food and grass, he drank with me..."

"I gave the order, and he treated me sincerely!"

Xi Yu understood what he was talking about, nodded, and continued: "Drinking is just to cleanse you and celebrate your arrival, but I have told him in advance to inform me when drinking, so that I can drink at the right time."

time to appear.”

"Next...you will know everything."

"I made this move, firstly, to see how loyal you are, and secondly, to see your strategic offense and defense in leading the army. I have to say, I am very satisfied with what you did in Dongjun."

"So, after Yanzhou is defeated, you will have to worry more."

Yan······Yanzhou?

Wasn't it Dongjun that I was talking about just now? Why did it suddenly become Yanzhou?

Zang Ba blinked his eyes, unable to recover.

He was really at a loss at this moment.

Yanzhou has a vast territory, and Dongjun is insignificant compared to it, let alone a small place like Mount Tai where Zang Ba was previously located.

But now, Xi Yu actually asked him to come out from a place as small as Mount Tai and rule the entire Yanzhou. Isn't this a dream?

Seeing Zang Ba's disbelief, Xi Yu smiled and said calmly: "You must have heard of Jushou, the original ruler of Qinghe County. He is one of the most important ministers under Yuan Shao and has surrendered to me a long time ago.

I leave him in your charge."

"At the same time, if you are trustworthy, you can leave all four sons to me to train. If possible, I plan to train two of them as generals to take charge of military power, and the other two as officials to handle local internal affairs. I wonder, what do you think?

"

"In the end, everything will be at the discretion of the lord!"

Zang Ba didn't know what to say at all.

He never dreamed that his four sons would have such honors. The lord personally trained them, and it would be impossible for them to become disabled even if they wanted to!

Speaking of which, I only have four sons. Isn’t it a bit too little?

If a few more were left to the lord to cultivate... then the blessings of the entire family would be so profound that maybe even the ancestral graves would emit green smoke!

Hey hey hey!!!

Of course, he could only enjoy this idea silently in his heart.

After all, Xi Yu didn't specialize in taking care of children, and he didn't have the guts to make such a request.

The most important thing is that no one knows whether he will have a son in the future.

So don’t bet on yourself and your family’s future with uncertain factors.

But even so, having four sons who have entered Imperial College can be regarded as a glorious honor and worthy of congratulations.

Also, it is said that in order for the emperor to keep up with the internal affairs and local governance of Qingxu and Xu, the lord had already arranged for him to enter the Imperial Academy.

If my four children also enter Imperial College, wouldn't they become classmates with the emperor?

What an honor this is!

"Thank you for your support, my lord. I will never be able to repay you in return. This body is destined to be your saddle, wrapped in horse leather!"

"That doesn't have to be the case!"

Xi Yu waved his hands, sighed deeply, and said: "I am taking this step to comfort you. After all, many of your brothers died in this war, so I should show some appreciation."

"You must remember that we must give adequate pensions to the families of the soldiers who died this time, and must not keep any of them secretly. In addition, I will also postulate them as martyrs and bury them in the cemetery so that future generations can respect them."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Also, in a few days, someone will send a large amount of military supplies and necessary materials to Taishan County. You need to develop Taishan County as quickly as possible. As for the battle on the front line, I have my own arrangements!"

"promise!"

It was only then that Zang Ba breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had any worries.
To be continued...
