Ma Xuan's words seemed to inadvertently open a window in Liu Qi's heart, making his heart become brighter without even realizing it.

Recommend the generals who have been promoted by you to the Xiangyang Center to assist Liu Biao in commanding the army. This will not only solve the problem of insufficient talents and insufficient resources for the generals directly under Liu Biao, but also allow Liu Qi's people to join the central army in Xiangyang.

, to be a barrier for Liu Qi.

Liu Qi held the pole of the boat and thought seriously. After a long while, he said leisurely: "Bo Chang's words are very reasonable. Liu Qi deeply agrees. It's just that Ziyi, Wen Chang and others are all my right-hand men. If

Sent to Xiangyang, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of talents under my command."

Ma Xuan shook his head and said: "There are so many talented people in the world? Why should we only look after these few people? The prince is a person who has achieved great things, so he should recruit the talented people in the world for his own use... Besides,

It has only been more than two years since the prince came to Juye from Shanyang. He already has Dian Wei, Taishi Ci, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Li Dian and many other heroes under his command. This time when the troops arrived in Hanzhong, whether they were looking at Guanzhong in the north or south

There are many heroes available in Guxi and Shu, so why bother to retain some of them? Besides, they went to Xiangyang to do important things for the prince."

Liu Qi thought about it for a while and nodded repeatedly.

Yes, Liu Qi knew hundreds of heroic figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who had names and surnames. Moreover, there were also those people who were buried without leaving their names in the history books. There were so many of them that they were like stars, so why bother to mention them all?

Taishi Ci, Wei Yan and others were tied to death beside him?

Liu Qi cupped his hands towards Ma Xuan and said, "Now that Bo Chang has given me some advice, I will be enlightened. In the future, Bo Chang will be Liu Qi's best friend. Whenever something happens, I have to make the decision for Liu Qi."

Ma Xuan said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Liu Qi consulted him again: "If Hanzhong County has Wen Zhongye as a general to guard it, then who should be sent as the governor of the other three newly established counties of Xicheng County, Fangling County, and Shangyong County?"

Ma Xuanyan said: "I followed the prince to Hanzhong. During this period, I also explored the local forces in Hanzhong, and I have probably found out the situation in Hanzhong... Although Hanzhong is stable and has not experienced any major wars, at the moment

There are indeed many divisional forces in the country, and the first thing that is placed in front of the Lord of the Palace is the two forces of Jia Long and Zhang Lu that need to be properly settled."

After Liu Qi heard this, he immediately argued for Zhang Lu: "Zhang Lu has surrendered and is committed to practicing his grandfather's way and carrying forward the Tianshi teaching. He may not necessarily be fighting for the position of county guard, right?"

"Although Zhang Lu has his heart set on Taoism, he is not a mediocre person. Otherwise, he would not be able to easily annex Zhang Xiu's Five Pecks of Rice Sect. Besides, there is Mrs. Lu behind him. The Tianshi Sect has too much prestige among the people in Shu.

, to give the benefits to the Tianshi Sect, the prince must be careful and balanced. As for Jia Long, if the prince wants to invade Yizhou in the future, he still needs to rely on him. Even if he is dissatisfied with his behavior, he cannot do it now.

Breaking up...especially since it is only the early stage of stabilizing Hanzhong, we should not be careless."

Ma Xuan's words were very pertinent, which moved Liu Qi. He nodded seriously and said: "I don't think Bo Chang's thoughts were so thoughtful. Liu is deeply impressed... If not, among the three counties in the east, Jia Long would be the one to do it."

Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei is the governor of a county, and Zhang Lu and Mrs. Lu can spread the Tao of Heavenly Masters to Jingchu to calm their minds."

Ma Xuan said again: "What the Lord said is very true. As for the other county, in my opinion, I might as well recommend someone from the Kuai family. How about that?"

"Kui family?" Liu Qi hesitated: "Why recommend them?"

"The Lord is currently on good terms with De Gui, and even led a member of the Cai family into Nanyang County. I wonder if a member of the Kuai family is not jealous?"

Liu Qi laughed and said: "They are jealous, do I have to use someone from their clan?"

Ma Xuan shook his head and said: "Master Fu, the places in Fangling County are the thoroughfare connecting Jingzhou and Yizhou, and they are also adjacent to Nanyang County. If you go north, you can also connect with Luoyang. This place is currently under the influence of all parties."

Geographically speaking, the buffer zone is not a good place. If you want to defend this place, you will have to send more troops to it. Is it possible that the emperor is willing to keep more troops here just to strictly guard such a place that connects the east and west?"

Liu Qi seemed to have figured it out.

"At present, apart from the generals in my headquarters, in Xiangyang, only Cai Degui, Kuai Zirou, and Kuai Yidu hold the position of Zhonglang General and have the power to expand military affairs and recruit generals... The Kuai family has soldiers in their hands.

If I use their clansmen, then the garrison army will be left to the Kuai family to come out on their own?"

Ma Xuan said on his forehead: "It is for this reason that Jia Long, Zhang Wei, and Kuai's men in the three eastern counties of Hanzhong can also restrain each other... let Kuai's men be in the Fangling army,

Wenpin is located in Hanzhong County, and the east and west correspond to each other. This can also limit the expansion of the power of Jia Long and Zhang Wei. If there is no great opportunity, they will probably only be limited to Shangyong and Xicheng counties in the future.

The ground is gone.”

Liu Qi let out a long breath, then turned around and used the pole to move the raft closer to the shore. As he rowed, he sighed: "Bo Chang's words made me understand. I am very happy today.

You and I will go back to the county office later and have a good drink to express our feelings! It's so enjoyable!"

Ma Xuan stood on the raft and cupped his hands at Liu Qi and said, "You dare not accept your orders."

After a pause, Ma Xuan continued: "However, it would be best if the prince of the government did not talk about the matter of letting Wenpin go to Hanzhong as a county guard himself. It would be best if General Cai Zhonglang can go to Liu Jingzhou to discuss it.

."

Liu Qi turned his head again and looked at the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain in the distance, and said: "But how can we let Degui go to Yan Jun to recommend him as a civil servant?"

Ma Xuan smiled faintly and said: "It would definitely not be possible if the Lord of the Government talks about this matter in person. I am willing to write a letter secretly and send it to Xiangyang. I will put it in the hands of Lord Cai and ask him to take a look. If nothing happens,

We can persuade General Cai Zhonglang to go see Liu Jingzhou in person."

When Liu Qi saw Ma Xuan taking the initiative to ask for orders, he said: "Good."

…

That night, a letter written by Ma Xuan himself flew out of Nanzheng City and headed southeast towards Xiangyang City.

Ten days later, Cai Mao of Xiangyang received Ma Xuan's secret letter from the messenger.

After reading this letter, Cai Hao couldn't help but fell silent.

The thing mentioned in the letter is probably that Liu Qi has captured Nanzheng City and basically controlled the political power of Hanzhong County. He has sent a letter to Liu Biao, suggesting that Hanzhong County be divided into four and each of them should have county guards.

.

At the same time, Ma Xuan also told Cai Mao that among the four counties, the one with the most power, the richest area and the most important control area is the Hanzhong County with Nanzheng City as the center. The county governor here is particularly important to the Jingzhou Group and is extremely important.

It may affect the interests of various parties.

But the Shanyang Liu family will definitely not entrust this county guard position to someone from the Jingzhou clan. This is a sure thing. After all, it is a heavily-armed battlefield on the front line. The Shanyang Liu family and his son must still leave this place to them.

In the hands of one's own people.

Now Liu Qi seems to be planning to name his confidant Tai Shici as the county governor. However, according to Ma Xuande, since the Hanzhong County governor can no longer be appointed by members of our Nanjun clan, he might as well ask Liu Jingzhou to appoint a councilor.

The person who is most beneficial to the development of our clan...

When Cai Hao saw this, his heart tightened and he narrowed his eyes.

The general meaning of what Ma Xuanxin said next is that Huang Zhong is currently out on an expedition. The general Liu Biao relies on most in Xiangyang City is Wenpin. This man is resolute and courageous and will definitely be qualified. If this man leaves Xiangyang, he will be in Nanjun.

, Liu Jingzhou can only rely on Cai Gong for military matters...
