Chapter 75: Preparation
Liu Fan asked Xu Huang to send a message to Pang Xi to stop Chen Mi in secret, of course, because he wanted him to ask the matter clearly. After Pang Xi learned that Liu Fan had recovered Gan Ning, he had more tricks on Chen Mi.
He asked his subordinates to pretend to be a group of people and checked Chen Mi and others in various ways. Chen Mi's clothes were dragged to the corner and took them off, which led to Chen Mi's growing hatred for Liu Fan.
In addition, he witnessed it with his own eyes that Gan Ning was invited back to Chengdu by Liu Fan, but he was searched and humiliated by a group of rioters. So Chen Mi blamed Liu Fan for being unaware of his eyes and could not see Chen Mi's talent. He only looked short-sighted at such a vulgar martial artist as Gan Ning.
He was in a state of the wealthy family of Ba County, how could he be compared by Gan Xingba? Liu Fan looked down on him. After returning to Ba County, he must plan a reactionary and teach the arrogant Liu Fan a lesson.
He didn't know how Chen Mi hated Liu Fan and didn't care. When Pang Xi came back, he had already handed over the list he had found from him to Liu Fan. He felt sorry for Chen Mi and thought he was a simple lie from the merchant family, so he tricked Pang Xi over.
Through the excerpts provided by Pang Xi and Zhang Song, Liu Fan can also confirm that there are many powerful people in Yizhou who are preparing to launch a rebellion secretly. As for Chen Mi's fuse, Liu Fan really didn't take it seriously.
In history, even the rebellion involving Gan Ning could be quelled, not to mention now. And he, Liu Fan, needed a turmoil that affected the entire Yizhou to establish his reputation. It would be better to take this opportunity to eradicate the powerful.
Liu Fan Mansion
When Chen Mi angrily scolded Liu Fan and Gan Ning's news came back, Gan Ning, as his friend, was also a little worried and looked at Liu Fan in a tangled way. Gan Ning wanted to apologize.
But Liu Fan took the lead and said righteously: "Xingba, don't worry, since you are like my subordinates, I will be there no matter what happens in the future! A mere Chen Mi dares to humiliate my beloved general. He is afraid he doesn't want to live!"
Gan Ning looked at Liu Fan in surprise, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, after Liu Fan said this heartwarming sentence, he looked around the people in the hall and continued, "Everyone, I have seen it just now. There are still powerful people in the prefectures and counties who disobey me Liu Fan." The corner of his mouth sneered, Liu Fan was not polite, "You also know that I am not a kind person who can be controlled by others. Since they want to make trouble, I will let them know how powerful I am!"
Suddenly turning back to the main case, Liu Fanlang was shocked, "Xu Huang made great contributions to returning to Yizhou this time. I will also represent him as the General of the Central Army. In addition, he represented Pang De as the cavalry lieutenant, Gan Ning, Zhang Ren as the lieutenant, Wang Chong, Ren Kui as the Sima of another army. Wang Lei as the chief clerk, Wang Fu and Li Miao as the steward."
Liu Fan did not appoint Fa Zheng. He still needs Fa Zheng to give advice around him, so he doesn't want him to leave. However, Fa Zheng doesn't care. As Liu Fan's most trusted adviser, how could he worry about his future?
After all, no one among these scribes is as good as him.
After Liu Fan's wish to be appointed as an official, everyone's spirit became obviously excited, especially Li Miao and others who came to Chengdu with Liu Fan. Originally, they were just for the sake of officialdom, but now they can be the ministers of Liu Fan's residence, so they are naturally very excited.
Including Zhang Ren, he was also staring at Liu Fan in front of him with a burning look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking. Unexpectedly, he just responded when he entered the city, and was appreciated and taken into his command. This was a huge opportunity for him.
After a little while, after everyone's expressions gradually calmed down, Liu Fan continued to say tremblingly: "Since my father has handed over all matters in Yizhou to me for handling, I will naturally take on this important task. The government affairs of the prefectures and counties are naturally under the control of the Pastoral Office. What I need to do next is to stabilize the situation in the prefectures and counties and ensure the peace of the prefectures and counties! Are you willing to work with me?"
"I wish to advance and retreat with the General of the Central Army!" Hearing this, everyone responded with a loud bang.
If Liu Fan wanted to quickly establish fame in Yizhou, he had to fight and gain reputation through governance. It would be difficult to see his political achievements without five to ten years. At that time, the daylily was cold.
Therefore, Liu Fan knew that all his subordinates also understood that he would inevitably have a battle with the powerful forces that conflicted with Yizhou.
This battle was an opportunity for Liu Fan to become famous and also an opportunity for many ministers from the Qiandi Mansion to make their mark.
"Very good!" The eyes swept across everyone's face, and Liu Fan looked solemn, "You are all smart people. You should know how much storm this battle will cause, so there are some things I have to prepare for before.
First, Gongming General was appointed as the General of the Central Army and formally led 5,000 troops, and Hannan cooperated with him. Secondly, the number of cavalry soldiers in the Ming cavalry camp should be expanded to 2,000, and the cavalry soldiers in the prefectures and counties should be recruited and trained strictly.
There were 3,000 people in the Ganning Bow and Crossbow Camp, and 800 people in the Zhang Ren infantry camp, and 8,000 people in the other troops of Wang Chong and Ren Kui. As long as the needs of troops, horses and equipment, Zisuo and Guoshan assisted in the allocation, Zhong Xuan came forward to sort out the relationship between China!"
He looked at Liu Dan. During this period, Liu Dan had become very skilled in logistics allocation. After entering Yizhou, as the son of Yizhou Mu, he could no longer engage in such affairs. Therefore, communicating with various departments and taking charge of the provincial governor's seal became his main job.
Rather than saying that he was in charge of the seals of the Chengzhou Mufu, it is better to say that Liu Fan trusted him the most.
As the censor of the book, he was not only legitimate, but also rigorous. Liu Dan naturally understood Liu Fan's trust. He raised his chin slightly. Liu Dan was proud of his heart, what could he do but me?
After the matters that belonged to the subordinates were arranged, Liu Fan began to make arrangements for Pang Xi and Wu Yi. In fact, they were no longer separated from Liu. Their sisters had already married Liu Fan and Liu Mao, so they automatically became the most loyal supporters of Liu.
Because of this, Liu Yan was relieved to hand over the military power of the Dongzhou soldiers to the hands of the two of them. Now, inside and outside Chengdu City, he was also responsible for the soldiers and garrisons. Liu Fan did not intend to change it, but just told them to pay more attention and not interfere anymore.
As for the separation of his military power like Zhao Wei, Liu Fan did not do that. The separation of Zhao Wei was because Liu Fan knew that if Zhao Wei held nearly 10,000 soldiers in Yizhou, it would be easy to be instigated by powerful men.
So, he stripped Zhao Wei away.
But even so, the keen Yizhou powerful men began to get ready.
