After successfully convinced Gongsun Zan to join Jin State, or successfully intimidated Gongsun Zan to surrender to Jin State, Zhao Xing immediately asked Gongsun Zan to accompany him and met his subordinates who originally belonged to Gongsun Zan one by one.

Zhao Xing was very good at playing this trick. In front of Gongsun Zan, Zhao Xing invited Gongsun Zan's subordinates; or in front of Zhao Xing, he asked Gongsun Zan to invite his subordinates to join. This sounded awkward, a bit like a tongue twister, but it was really hard to tell who was helping whom.

For the adviser Tian Yu, Tian Yu may not agree to Zhao Xing's formal invitation to him, but if he stood beside him, he had already expressed his attitude to be in power for the Jin State and helped Zhao Xing do his work, if you were Tian Yu, how should you choose?

It's very entangled and very entangled. That's right. It's not easy to make decisions quickly, whether in terms of face or psychological terms. If you can make a decision in an instant, you are either a political idiot or a typical speculator.

As a strategist who has always been treated as a guest of honor by Gongsun Zan, it is difficult for Tian Yu to accept Zhao Xing immediately, but looking at the original old master Gongsun Zan beside him with an expectant expression, it is difficult for him to refuse. If Tian Yu agreed to Zhao Xing immediately, it is obviously slapping Gongsun Zan's face, as if he had been waiting for Zhao Xing to recruit this day; if Tian Yu refused immediately, he was still slapping Gongsun Zan's face, which is obviously not giving Gongsun Zan's face!

An unscrupulous guy looked at Tian Yu's contradictory and painful expression, and was very proud in his heart. Finally, he came out to smooth things over and said, "The Guorang (Tian Yu's character) does not need to reply immediately. Let's go back to the mansion to rest first. It will not be too late to think clearly in a few days before replying." Seeing that Zhao Xing was so magnanimous, Tian Yu quickly accused him of the crime and left the general's mansion.

Next, accompanied by Gongsun Zan, Zhao Xing met Murong Ping again. Murong Ping, who was still having a faint pain in the back of his head. When he saw Zhao Xing and Gongsun Zan at the same time, he found that he had a more severe headache. His entanglement was exactly the same as Tian Yu. He immediately agreed to Zhao Xing that he would lose Gongsun Zan's face and firmly reject Zhao Xing, which would make it difficult for Gongsun Zan to do. Finally, Zhao Xing also asked Murong Ping to go back and think about it again and answer in a few days.

The third person Zhao Xing met was Xu Rong, a general who was very well-written by Lao Luo in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In the previous article, he specifically explained that Xu Rong actually had the talent of a general, similar to Gao Shun. Although his reputation was not obvious, he had a true seal under his command. In another time and space, he had led his army to defeat Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other awesome opponents. For Zhao Xing, the most valuable general under Gongsun Zan was Xu Rong, because Xu Rong had the talent to command troops and was from Xuantu County, Liaodong. He recruited Xu Rong. The next step to use troops against Gongsun Du in Liaodong would be much easier.

Xu Rong was different from Tian Yu and Murong Ping. He was later recommended by someone to submit to Gongsun Zan's tent, and it has never been used. So after seeing Zhao Xing, after Gongsun Zan's comments were made, hesitant for a moment and agreed to submit to Jin State.

From Xu Rong's perspective, he can't understand how he did this. Even Gongsun Zan has defected to Jin State. I have to find a new way to make a living by serving in the army and fighting.

Next, Zhao Xing met with Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, as well as nine others including Guan Chun, Geng Wu, Tian Chou, Wang Men, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Yan Gang, Zou Dan, among them, Gongsun Fan, Guan Chun, Geng Wu, Shan Jing, Yan Gang, Zou Dan, etc., and six others accepted Zhao Xing's recruitment at that time, while Tian Chou, Wang Men, and Tian Kai said that they needed to consider it again before making a decision.

While waiting for Tian Yu, Murong Ping and others to reply, two generals Xu Shu and Li Jinwu, who had pacified the entire west of Youzhou Youzhou, brought some people back to Yuyang City. The Dingyuan Army and Feihu Army, which caused bloody storms in the northern grasslands in western Liaoning, also sent powerful generals to drive a large number of Xianbei prisoners into the Youzhou area south of the Great Wall. These Xianbei prisoners were detained in the north of Shanggu County and Yuyang County, waiting for the next specific resettlement by Zhao Xing.

Now, the main force of the Xiongwu Army is stationed in Fanyang City in Zhuo County, forming a confrontation with Jizhou in the south; the main force of the Xiongfu Army is stationed in Shangyin and Xu Wuliang in Youbeiping County, and is separated from the Gongsun Du forces in Liaodong as a buffer. Such a garrison arrangement is strictly implemented in accordance with Zhao Xing's instructions. Before the existing territory is completely digested and consolidated, Youzhou will maintain the existing pattern without changing.

A few days later, Tian Yu, Murong Ping, Tian Chou, Wang Men, Tian Kai and others came to visit Zhao Xing one after another and expressed their willingness to join Jin State. Zhao Xing had a serious conversation with these people one by one, but this time, Gongsun Zan was not accompanied by him. As for the specific content of Zhao Xing's conversation with everyone, only Zhao Xing's personal guard Dian Wei knew.

After thoroughly digesting and absorbing Gongsun Zan's men, Zhao Xing immediately asked the imperial envoy to issue the imperial envoy to announce the imperial edict and declared Gongsun Zan in public as the governor of Youzhou. Liu Dai, the former governor of Youzhou, was hired as the prime minister of Jin State and soon followed Zhao Xing to Jinyang to take office.

Didn’t Zhao Xing say that the envoy from the court was killed by the people he sent? In fact, he was kidnapped by the shadow team members who pretended to be black bandits, and then rescued by Zhao Xing’s subordinates. The purpose of this play written and acted by Zhao Xing was to gain some time. During the period when the imperial envoy was abducted and imprisoned, the State of Jin completed control of Youzhou. In order to prevent the change over time, after subduing Gongsun Zan, he quickly released the envoy from the court to announce the imperial edict, which just blocked the court’s entrance to Youzhou to appoint the prefecture governor.

After Gongsun Zan and Liu Dai officially handed over, they appointed Zhao Yun as the governor of Youzhou's military and horses, and were in charge of military affairs in public. Sima Zhi was appointed as the Bianjia of Youzhou, and was in charge of political affairs. In addition, Xu Si, Wang Kai and others were appointed as the chief of the magistrate of the court and the military affairs in charge of the army. As for the candidates for the prefects of the six counties including Dai County, Zhuo County, Shanggu, Yuyang, Guangyang, and Youbeiping, they were temporarily vacant and were currently managed by the highest officials of the garrisons in various places. After the next step, the provincial and ministerial office consulted the court, they would be appointed and removed.

As for the civil and military generals who originally belonged to Gongsun Zan, all of them did not appear on the appointment and removal list. They only left Gongsun Zan with a brother, Gongsun Fan, in the prefecture's palace.

Zhao Xing did this and made a decision after soliciting everyone's opinions. Everyone was very jealous of entering the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall or following the class in Jin State, and they all expressed that they did not want to work in Youzhou for the time being, and wanted to follow the Taifu to go to Jin State for training and study. Since everyone was so informed and tactful, Zhao Xing agreed with the flow.

It can be foreseeable that the next officials who serve as the prefect of the six counties of Youzhou must have come from Jin State. In the future, Youzhou will still be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but in fact it has become the backyard of Jin State.

There is another question that everyone is puzzled, that is, the person in charge of Youzhou's government affairs, that is, Youzhou Biejia, how could he be Sima Zhi, the prefect of Julu, Jizhou? You must know that Sima Zhi is still working under Yuan Shao, so why could Zhao Xing reach out to the boundary of Jizhou? This has to start with Xin Ping, the messenger sent by Yuan Shao to Jin.

It has been a few months since Zhao Xing led his army to fight. In the past few months, envoys sent by other states in the world have arrived in Jinyang City one after another. Because Jizhou and Jin were only separated by a Huguan, the envoys sent by Yuan Shao were the first to reach Jinyang. Unfortunately, Zhao Xing was busy planning the Northern Expedition at that time and had no time to deal with Xin Ping at all, so he only let a few famous scholars accompany him.

When Zhao Xing's war in the north became smoother and smoother, after leveling Youzhou in a few or five strokes, Xin Ping, who was shocked by the wind, was so anxious that he naturally shook Yuan Shao's trump card and was reported to Zhao Xing by the shadow.

Zhao Xing learned that Yuan Shao wanted to exchange Sima Zhi for Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu, and Youzhou was short of a respected internal affairs expert who could surpass Gongsun Zan's reputation, so he nodded and agreed to this, so Gongsun Zan announced the appointment of Sima Zhi as the leader of Youzhou.

Of course, Sima Zhi is still in Jizhou. When will he go to Youzhou to take office, he will have to wait until Zhao Xing returns to Jinyang to negotiate with Xin Ping before he can decide.

In any case, after this adjustment, the pattern of Youzhou has undergone great changes in the future. In the future, Youzhou will be the situation when Zhao Xing was the first governor of Bingzhou eight years ago.

A complete transformation is about to begin in Youzhou...
