In mid-August, Zhao Xing successfully arrived at Yuyang City under the escort of two thousand elite soldiers of the Guard Regiment. Now all the wars should be fought have been completed, and the rest is how to win people's hearts and consolidate the territory.

Although eating such a large territory in one go will not break Zhao Xing's belly, the problems and difficulties they face are also obvious.

The guardians are not Xianbei people or Wuhuan people. They can go into the boundaries of Youzhou to burn, kill, loot and then withdraw to Jin State, and then leave a mess full of holes to clean up the people of Youzhou where they suffer. Since they have occupied the western and central Youzhou, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Xing to spit out the fat meat in his mouth in the future. Jin State occupied a large area of ​​Youzhou and western Liaoning. How to manage these places in the future is not only an unshirkable responsibility, but also an urgent need to strengthen itself.

What does Zhao Xing need most now? Of course, it is to govern all kinds of talents in the prefectures and counties, loyal and available army, and huge amounts of wealth used to restore Youzhou's production!

Zhao Xing came to Yuyang in person to solve the first problem. As for the loyal and available army, the current 180,000 guards and 20,000 Youzhou Prefecture soldiers will be enough if they no longer expand outward. As for the huge source of wealth used to restore Youzhou's economy and people's livelihood, it needs to be solved by the Jin State's peasant, soldiers, merchants and financial banks.

Zhao Xing has always been very interested in Gongsun Zan and his generals. This time, he came to recruit with confidence. To this day, as long as he is a talented person, he should be able to see the huge political benefits that he can gain by following Zhao Xing. If there are still guys who are not good at pretending to be there, Zhao Xing had to send him to Wohu City to be his companion with Ding Yuan.

Zhao Xing's principle is to try to take it for himself. If it really doesn't work, then arrest it and put it under house arrest. Anyway, you can't take advantage of others. In fact, this is already a kind approach. If other ruthless people are put into trouble, they will just "click" the matter.

The Chongyi Division of the Xiongwu Army was stationed in Yuyang City. The division commander was Guo Daxian, who was born as a "Yellow Turban Thief", and Jia Mu was responsible for other matters in the city. Hearing that Zhao Xing was going to come to Yuyang City in person, the brothers of the Chongyi Division were very excited these days, and ordered the rebel prisoners under Zhang Ju to clean the inside and outside of Yuyang City. If the conditions were not limited, they had to repair a wide road.

In Yuyang City, Gongsun Zan's five or six thousand surrendered soldiers, plus the more than 30,000 rebel prisoners captured from Yuyang, were equivalent to 40,000 surrendered soldiers being imprisoned. Can the 5,000 troops in the Xiongwu Army's first division be watched? The answer is yes.

Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu, Murong Ping, Tian Chou, Xu Rong and others were controlled in the Wuhuan School Guard. Although the number of surrendered soldiers in the city was large, they had no backbone and handed over weapons and armor. Such surrendered soldiers were not threatened in front of the heavily protected heavy infantry. If anyone complained that they had a long life and wanted to rebel, they would definitely be chopped into meat paste by the soldiers of the Heavy Infantry Division in the shortest time.

In the former Wuhuan School Guard, Zhao Xing finally met Gongsun Zan with only one eye left. There was a dialogue between the two that had a profound impact on Youzhou, and the specific content was as follows:

Zhao Xing said to Gongsun Zan: "When Bingzhou was besieged half a year ago, I was commanding the battle on the Western Front. Unfortunately, I didn't see the general. Today we finally met!"

Gongsun Zan said with a wry smile: "Fortunately I didn't see the general that day, otherwise there would be no meeting today." Gongsun Zan meant that your fourth brother Zhao Yun led 6,000 soldiers, which made the Eastern Alliance tremble. If you were above Huguan, we might have been killed by you long ago, so how could we wait until today to meet.

Zhao Xing smiled faintly without any concern, not caring about Gongsun Zan's cold joke, and then asked Gongsun Zan: "Now Yuyang has taken over me, I will definitely not hand it over in the future. I wonder what General Gongsun's plan is?"

Gongsun Zan replied somewhat disappointedly: "The defeated general can only be at the mercy of others. What other plans can I have?"

Zhao Xing continued casually: "The court sent people north to go north and took the imperial edict to appoint General Gongsun as the governor of Youzhou. As a result, it was intercepted and killed by my subordinates north of Zhongshan Kingdom." Hearing Zhao Xing's tone, killing envoys representing the emperor is easier than killing a chicken. "If I don't agree, in the future, many envoys sent by the court to Youzhou will be intercepted and killed!"

Gongsun Zan looked at Zhao Xing with a daze, shock, anger, fear, depression and other feelings arose from the bottom of his heart, and finally turned into a helpless sigh. He was also a sensible person. Since Zhao Xing dared to admit in front of him that the envoy of the court was killed by the people he sent out and the imperial edict was also robbed, he didn't care at all that Gongsun Zan knew what this could do to him.

"General Gongsun doesn't need to sigh, he's just a governor of Youzhou. As long as you want, I'll let you sit down." Zhao Xing said very relaxedly.

The emperor appointed the governor of Youzhou did not count, and Zhao Xing could nod his head, so he could let Gongsun Zan take the position of governor of Youzhou. What an arrogant sentence Zhao Xing said to Gongsun Zan just now!

The problem is that Gongsun Zan absolutely believes that Zhao Xing's arrogant words are true. Gongsun Zan also knows that although Zhao Xing said it easily, the Youzhou Governor is probably not so easy to be. If you want to take this position, you must agree to some of the conditions proposed by Zhao Xing.

"I wonder what Master Taifu needs Zan?" Gongsun Zan finally couldn't resist the temptation of power and status, so he asked softly.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan finally took the bait, Zhao Xing still smiled calmly and said, "In the future, General Gongsun will be the governor of Youzhou, and his family will be moved to Wohu City. The military affairs and the appointment and removal of military generals will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Duwei Mansion." Zhao Xing put forward two conditions in his words. One is that in order to express his loyalty, Gongsun Zan needs to send his family and children to Wohu City as hostages; the other is that he cannot control military power and troops.

Zhao Xing's condition still sounds a bit cruel. What is the difference between the governor who has no military power and the governor at the time? What's more, he has to send his family to Wohu City as a hostage.

Gongsun Zan frowned, thought hard for a long time, then looked up at Zhao Xing and asked, "I wonder if the Grand Tutor can tell me if I don't agree to this matter, what will you do with us?"

Zhao Xing did not avoid Gongsun Zan's gaze at him, and said expressionlessly: "Send General Gongsun and his family to Crouching Hu City, and let General Gongsun accompany Ding Jianyang. As for General Gongsun's civil and military personnel, recruit them separately, and those who do not follow suit will follow the example!" Zhao Xing also understood his words. If Gongsun Zan, if you do not agree to this condition, you will lock you up, and your subordinates and territory will still belong to me.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan asked in surprise: "Ding Jianyang is still alive? Didn't he say he has died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

Zhao Xing replied: "To cover up people's ears and ears, Ding Jianyang is now alive and has become an apartment in Wohu City."

Gongsun Zan was relieved now. Since Zhao Xing was able to let Ding Yuan go, it would not be difficult for him and his family. Although he would be famous for his role as the governor of Youzhou in the future, he was better than being an ordinary servant. So Gongsun Zan said: "Since that's the case, everything will be handled as what the Taifu said."
