When the news of Liu Biao's attack on Jingnan reached Yizhou, Liu Fan was not very surprised, but he still smiled indefinitely.

Seeing Liu Fan suddenly laughing, Fa Zheng, who was discussing matters with Liu Fan below, also smiled and guessed: "Can Jingzhou have already started to fight against Jingnan?"

Seeing Fa Zheng, Liu Fan raised the military newspaper in his hand and smiled and said, "Liu Biao sent 100,000 troops and ordered Cai Mao to go south from Jiangling, and Huang Zu entered Dongting Lake from Shaxian, and officially put pressure on the three counties in Jingnan!"

"Liu Biao has indeed been impatient for Jingnan for a long time!" Hearing this, Fa Zheng also responded with a smile. In fact, as the actual governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao can be a little slow in the military affairs of the three states, but completely controlling Jingzhou is what he must do.

Just like Liu Fan as Yizhou, if Hanzhong was no longer in his hands, he would definitely send troops to Hanzhong to take it down. After all, no local prefecture governor would sit idly by and watch the counties under his jurisdiction be independent of his own rule.

After Fa Zheng finished speaking, the silent Xun You also spoke, "But according to the general's original idea, our Yizhou is not the time to use troops against Jingzhou."

When Liu Fan was in Jiangzhou, he analyzed that once Liu Biao used troops to Jingnan, he might fall into the dilemma of fighting north and south when Zhang Ji entered Nanyang. Therefore, the main task of Jingzhou is to rest and recuperate.

Nodded, Liu Fan did not deny it, "With Liu Jingsheng's influence on Jingnan, it will probably take a long time if he wants to take Jingnan. After all, Zhang Xian has a deep influence in Jingnan. Therefore, our Yizhou does not plan to send troops to Jingzhou at present, but develop agricultural reclamation in prefectures and counties, train soldiers, and build warships!"

Although he was involved in the war in Jingzhou, Liu Fan would never be idle this year. He must accumulate strength, pacify and conquer the southern barbarians, and then after everything is ready, he will send troops out of Shu and sweep the world.

However, the people in the hall did not think so far. They just felt that it was appropriate to consolidate the foundation of Yizhou at this time, and that the change of regimes and stability of the people's hearts is also an extremely important matter.

Liu Fan set the tone and everyone stopped talking. However, Zheng Du, who had been talking nonsense, seemed to have something to say this time. He slowly stepped out of the line to bow and said warmly: "General, although I, Yizhou, do not want to make things difficult for Jingzhou, I live next to each other under the general trend, and cannot wait to see it gradually become stronger. My subordinates think that General Gan can often bring power to the enemy and shock Jingzhou!"

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Liu Fan unexpectedly glanced at Zheng Du. Only then did he feel the benefits of having too many counselors under Cao Cao. Many times, when people are in a certain atmosphere, it is extremely easy for them to forget some things. Some wise men will stand up and point them out after seeing the key.

Without stopping, Liu Fan agreed with Zheng Du’s suggestion, “Zhongfa’s words are righteous and open.” To be honest, Liu Fan already likes this feeling of using open conspiracy. “This year, the prefectures and counties should not slack off, and the navy should not be slackened. The command of Gan Ning, before the end of this summer, I will see at least 10,000 elite navy soldiers!”

"Abide by the order!" Wang Lei, who was also a military and political document in Ba County, quickly stepped out of the line to receive the order.

Now Liu Fan's governance of Yizhou is a method of dividing power and responsibilities. Wang Shang and Wang Lei are both engaged in the provincial government. Liu Fan asked Wang Shang to take charge of the affairs of various prefectures and counties, but he let Wang Lei take charge of the affairs of Ba County. This will weaken Wang Shang's paranoidness, and the second is to exercise Wang Lei's ability.

Liu Fan thought about it carefully and could not stay in Yizhou all the time. Therefore, the people under his command must have sufficient political capabilities so that they can help him manage prefectures and counties when he goes out in the future.

Now, the local scholars in Yizhou that Liu Fan recruited in the early stage have basically been used, including Li Chao, Li Shao, Wang Shi, Ma Xun, Chen Shi, Gong Zhan, Du Qiong, Du Hui, Wuliang, Qiao Ke and others, who have been arranged to be trained in different positions by Liu Fan Jianba.

As for people like Li Yan, Xiang Lang, Xu Shu, etc., Liu Fan had already arranged him out. Li Yan was training in Jianwei, and Xiang Lang directly led Chengdu orders to follow Xun You to exercise, and Xu Shu and Liu Fan also directly asked him to learn from Xun You.

After they are tempered, they will grow into a group of talents who can support one side.

Moreover, there are many young talents in Yizhou, and Liu Fan has not yet been activated. For example, Peng Ye, Deng Zhi, Wang Ping, etc., Liu Fan actually already knows where they are, but he has no plans to recruit them yet.

Obviously, this group of talents is trained enough to ensure that they can maintain the operation of Yizhou and then attract other talents.

After Liu Fan arranged to deal with the Jingzhou affairs, he began to deploy several major counties in Yizhou. In fact, although Yizhou seems to occupy a large area, there are only a few counties that are useful.

Shu County, Ba County, Guanghan County, Jianwei County, and Hanzhong County.

As long as he holds a few counties in his hand, he is quite in his hands with the entire Yizhou. Now Liu Fan has arranged his subordinates for each county, Xun You from Shu County, Cheng Ji from Ba County, Wang Fu from Guanghan, Li Yan from Jianwei and Yan Pu from Hanzhong.

Although Liu Fan agreed to Wang Shang that after he took over Yizhou, he would not change the political system of Yizhou's pastoral government, Liu Fan still had to appoint his own people in each county. Only by grasping these fundamental things can he truly control Yizhou.

In terms of military affairs, Liu Fan did not let a single county go. Needless to say, there were heavy troops in Shu County, there were Zhang Ren in Ba County, Wang Chong in Guanghan, Ren Kui in Mianzhu, Li Yan in Jianwei, and Meng Da in Hanzhong. There were garrisons designated by Liu Fan in every place.

Relatively speaking, Liu Fan's military control over Hanzhong was actually weak, which is also a bit strange that when Liu Fan first entered Yizhou, he did not have so many generals. Now that he has officially become the governor of Yizhou and General Zhenwu, Liu Fan has enough names to recruit soldiers and promote generals.

This is also what Liu Fan is planning to complete within this year. During this year, other prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty may still be in war, but Yizhou will never. Liu Fan not only wanted to persuade farmers to farm and farm mulberry trees in Yizhou, but also completely rectify the loose soldiers in Yizhou and establish several corpses with Yizhou characteristics.

Like the soldiers led by Li Hu, the soldiers in Xu Huang's hands, and the soldiers in Dongzhou in Wu Yi's hands.

Yes, many people may have forgotten an important force to stabilize the stability of northern Yizhou, that is, the Dongzhou soldiers granted to Wu Yi by Liu Yan. It is precisely because Wu Yi held such a Dongzhou soldiers that when the county and counties in the central and southern Yizhou were in turmoil, the northern Yizhou had basically no impact.

Because everyone in Guanghan County knew that Liu Fan had a trump card in his hand that was useless, that was Liu Yan's Dongzhou soldier.

In fact, after Liu Yan was assassinated by Suning, the Chengdu tyrants were in chaos. To put it bluntly, it was a test by the northern forces of Yizhou. Unfortunately, Liu Yan was unconscious and Liu Dan fell into self-condemnation. The person who could mobilize Wu Yi did not exist at all.

So the strength of the Dongzhou soldiers was not tested at all. Later, after Liu Fan returned to Chengdu, the whole thing was finally left alone.

Now that Liu Fan has officially accepted Yizhou, he will of course rectify this Dongzhou army.

In fact, Liu Fan had nothing to rectify, just divided half of Wu Yi's Dongzhou soldiers and Pang Xi, so that the power of the Dongzhou soldiers would be balanced and would not be held in one person's hands, which would be unstable.

Although Pang Xi took over the Dongzhou soldiers and the strength of the soldiers in his hands increased, Liu Fan still kept him in Chengdu to assist in the safety of the city. After all, as Liu Fan's wife-based force, Pang Shi would definitely be more attentive to guard his wife and children than others.

Liu Fan, the soldiers of Shu County, County and State, who were originally commanded by Pang Xi, were divided into three parts and handed over to the three Yizhou generals recruited from the prefectures and counties during this period, Ling Bao, Liu Xuan and Deng Xian. These three were all recruited by Liu Fan according to the recommendations of famous generals and generals in Yizhou.

After some assessment, although the three of them did not have the talent of a general, it was still no problem to protect the peace of the defenders on one side, so Liu Fan decided to use them. After all, since he is the governor of Yizhou now, he should appoint more Yizhou people.

Only by allowing both scholars and military generals in Yizhou to feel a bright future will they strive for the future of Yizhou.

After arranging Ling Bao and the other three, Liu Fan focused on arranging another person, Wei Yan.

It was a very brave boy who lied that his military order had a horse from Pang De's camp. When Liu Fan sent Wei Yan to Pang De, he saw that he was not happy, so he casually told him that Pang De had many good things in his hands, and what rewards he could get depend on his ability.

I thought Wei Yan would ask for some wealth and weapons from Pang De, but I didn't expect this guy to ask Pang De for a Western Liang horse under his name.

As a general from Xiliang, Pang De had hundreds of Xiliang direct descendants and hundreds of Xiliang horses. In addition, Yizhou continued to buy war horses from Guanzhong and Liangzhou during this year. Therefore, Pang De, as a cavalry general, had many newly cultivated Xiliang cavalry.

These were originally planned to be left to Liu Fan and rewarded to the generals in the future, but Wei Yan became the first person to enjoy this fruit.

In fact, Pang De also saw Liu Fan's love for Wei Yan, otherwise he would not have easily asked Wei Yan to choose a horse he liked.

Judging from the experience of following Liu Fan for so long, if he had not admired or trusted someone very much, he would not have handed over his seal to the other party. Perhaps Wei Yan had not yet realized this, but Pang De saw through the fact that Wei Yan brought the seal to the person, and the future of this young man named Wei Yan was infinitely bright.

However, appreciation and liking is one thing. After Liu Fan learned that Wei Yan had passed on his orders privately, he also punished Wei Yan.

Xu Huang was ordered to beat him up. How could the young Wei Yan be Xu Huang's opponent? With the courageous aura on his body, Wei Yan was directly tortured by Xu Huang.

After admitting his mistake to Liu Fan, Wei Yan also realized the danger of his temporary thoughts. To put it bluntly, his casual and false statement would probably make Liu Fan's words lose credibility in the future.

Although we really encounter military orders for emergency military mobilization, if there is no absolute information, the leading generals will usually not move easily.

But this did not prevent it. Liu Fan asked Wei Yan to understand this truth first.

After being beaten up by Xu Huang for several consecutive days and being hungry for several days, Wei Yan finally became obedient. He also knew the importance and rigor of the military envoys in the military camp.

After he sincerely apologized to Liu Fan, Liu Fan reluctantly forgave him.

In fact, if the situation was not for the urgent situation at that time and there was no one around Liu Fan, Liu Fan would not have asked Wei Yan to pass the order. After warning Wei Yan, Liu Fan talked about the previous topic with him. He glanced at Wei Yan who was bowing his head below. Liu Fan said lightly: "Do you remember what I told you on the way back to Yizhou?"

He rubbed his butt secretly, Wei Yan buzzed: "General said that there are many heroes in the Han Dynasty, and Jing and Yizhou are just a drop in the bucket. If you want to see the heroes in the world, you must strengthen yourself. Therefore, the general recruited me as his entourage and wanted to teach me carefully!"

"Yeah!" Liu Fan nodded quietly, and looked at Wei Yan silently and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I don't have much to teach you, but I have a group of fierce generals under my command. Your goal is to defeat them all!"

"Defeat all?" Wei Yan stared at Liu Fan in disbelief.

"Yes, defeat them all!" Responding to Wei Yan, Liu Fan said seriously: "Only by defeating them can I take you into Guanzhong!"

"All the powerful generals in Guanzhong are so powerful?" Wei Yan couldn't believe it when he opened his eyes wide.

"Otherwise, why do you think Guanzhong is the center of the world!" Liu Fan answered seriously again.

After a word, Wei Yan's heart was filled with awe of Guanzhong. When he was in Jingzhou, he felt that although he was young, he was quite capable. But when he met Liu Fan, he realized that Liu Fan was all very powerful.

Like Jingzhou, he met Li Hu and Yan Yan for the first time, Gan Ning, who was later on the belly of fish, Zhang Ren from Jiangzhou, and Xu Huang and Pang De after returning to Wuyang and Chengdu.

Just walking along the way, Wei Yan found that he was no longer able to get the best of him. Liu Fan just said that there were more powerful people in Guanzhong than Yizhou, which really made Wei Yan feel astonished.

There are indeed many heroes in the Han Dynasty.

"So, from today on, do you know what to do?" Seeing that Wei Yan's self-propelled strategy was almost done, Liu Fan glanced at him and said lightly.

Nodded, Wei Yan's expression was also very serious, "I understand. I want to constantly improve my martial arts skills and polish my strength, and also recruit generals to recruit trusted guards. When the time is ripe, I will definitely challenge Gongming and Lingming generals!"

"Yeah." Nodded calmly, Liu Fan said lightly: "Young man should be full of fighting spirit. When you can defeat Xu Huang in the field and defeat Pang De in the Ma Zhan, you will be qualified to go to Guanzhong with me."

"Wei Yan understand!" At that moment, Wei Yan bowed his hands seriously and loudly.

Nodded slightly, Liu Fan waved his hand, and Wei Yan left with determination.
Chapter completed!
