Chapter 328 Convince Zhou Cheng

There was no systematic announcement or even a ceremony to take office. Yang Yang teleported to Jiaozhou Dragon Editor with an imperial edict.

When all the players were still choosing their favorite items in Luoyang, Yang Yang had already arrived at the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion located in Longbian. It was obvious that Zhou Cheng did not know that he had no position as a governor, nor did he know that Yang Yang came here to drive him down.

So when Yang Yang was warmly entertained by Zhou Cheng, he felt very sad.

"Hahaha, Mr. Yang, it's really my honor to be a guest at my mansion!" Zhou Cheng smiled.

Following Zhou Cheng was his friend Huang Shudu. Last time, Huang Shudu stayed here because of Shi Xie's besieging the city, just to help his friends give advice. During this period in Jiaozhou, Huang Shudu also often paid attention to Baidi City and Yang Yang.

When he learned that the White Imperial Army led by Yang Yang defeated the Bocai Army in Yingchuan, and Yang Yang even killed the Yellow Turban Qu Shuaibocai, he was very shocked.

Who is Bo Cai? He is the one who forced the Eastern Han generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to retreat. Such a genius was defeated not long after Yang Yang sent troops. Bo Cai himself died at the hands of Yang Yang. After the Battle of Yingchuan, Yang Yang became Gaoliang Marquis, which caused a considerable shock in the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Yang's achievements became even more amazing, defeating Guangzong and killing Zhang Jiao.

It can be said that in the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban thieves, Yang Yang made great contributions, and he may also be the biggest contributor to the entire war. Now that the Yellow Turban Uprising has ended, all the strangers gathered in Luoyang to receive the rewards from the palace, but Yang Yang suddenly came here, which made Huang Shudu very puzzled.

Following Zhou Cheng, Yang Yang felt very difficult to talk about his purpose.

With Zhou Cheng's warm hospitality, this kind of seizing human rights became even more difficult to say. So, his expression was very entangled at this moment.

Just as Huang Shudu, who was sitting beside him, saw his expression, and immediately asked, "I wonder why the Marquis came to the Dragon Workshop this time?"

When Yang Yang heard Huang Shudu's words, he was extremely grateful to him. With his beginning, the next thing was much easier to say. However, looking at Huang Shudu and Zhou Cheng, Yang Yang had another idea in his mind.

"Oh, when it comes to this matter, it's related to Lord Zhou!" Yang Yang sighed.

"Oh, it has something to do with me?" Zhou Cheng asked in surprise as soon as he heard this.

"Master Zhou knew that he had made a small contribution to the battle to suppress the Yellow Turban Thiefs. The emperor and a group of ministers in the court insisted on rewarding me and promoting me to my post, but after thinking about it, they didn't know what to give me, so they promoted me to the post, so..." When he said this, Yang Yang spread his hands and did not continue to say anything. However, he praised himself in his heart, which was so witty.

Zhou Cheng hadn't understood it yet, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood it. As for Huang Shudu, as an outsider, as soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, he understood what Yang Yang said.

"Oh..." Huang Shudu looked at his old friend, sighed in his heart, and felt a little sad for his friend Zhou Cheng. He knew that his friend Zhou Cheng's personality was indeed not suitable for being an official in such a chaotic world.

After understanding Yang Yang's meaning, Zhou Cheng sighed heavily.

A thousand kinds of feelings suddenly emerged in his heart, which was hard to explain. In this life, he was filial and honest, studied the art of Confucius and Mencius hard. In order to achieve his goal of "being an official and benefiting the people", he has been diligent, wise and correcting the law. However, in the end, his goal was not achieved, and his official position was lost.

Looking at Zhou Cheng's expression, Yang Yang was also helpless. If he wanted to get the position of governor of Jiaozhou, he had to squeeze out Zhou Cheng. It has to be said that Zhou Cheng is a good official, able to consider the people and be upright as an official.

But the reality is so cruel. Fortunately, this person is Zhou Cheng. If it were someone else, it might have started to make trouble at this moment.

"Congratulations to Lord Yang, I will hand over the affairs of Jiaozhou to Lord immediately." Zhou Cheng was generous and was disappointed for a while and congratulated in a low voice.

Yang Yang waved his hand quickly: "Mr. Zhou, wait."

When Huang Shudu heard Yang Yang's words, he felt that he should say a few words to his friend. He sneered: "Mr. Yang, is this not enough? Do you still have to continue drinking and chatting with you? Don't you think this is too bullying?"

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, knowing that Huang Shudu had misunderstood his meaning.

"No, you guys listen to me first." Yang Yangyang Yang said seriously, "Although the emperor issued an order to promote me to the governor of Jiaozhou, he did not transfer Lord Zhou, so..."

"Do you think that one governor can't make two people do it?"

"Shudu must not be rude to Lord Yang!"

In order to keep the two of them in Jiaozhou, Yang Yang endured it and continued, "So I want to ask Lord Zhou to stay."

"Let me stay, why do you stay?" Zhou Cheng said in amazement.

"Do work for the people of Jiaozhou." Yang Yang explained, "Although I was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou by the emperor, I have no time to manage the miscellaneous political affairs, and some people need to do these. If I leave them to others, I will not be at ease, but if I leave them to you, Lord Zhou, I will not be at ease."

The saying of doing things for the people made Zhou Cheng hesitate. Although he was demoted from the governor to the governor, he felt a little worried, but for the people who were suffering here, what was this worth?

"Mr. Zhou, although my Baidi City is developing very well now, you know that the manager is not me. If you want the people of Jiaozhou to live a good life, you should stay. Of course, after you stay, you don't need to worry about military affairs. I will give you a peaceful and war-free Jiaozhou!"

Yang Yang stared at Zhou Cheng with his eyes fixed on him, hoping that he could agree.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Cheng finally nodded and according to his idea, for the people of Jiaozhou.

Yang Yang clenched his fists and made a victory gesture. As long as Zhou Cheng is left behind, everything will be easy. As for Huang Shudu, seeing that his friends have been left behind, he also stayed in Jiaozhou with Yang Yang's help to deal with some things.

There are seven counties in Jiaozhou, namely Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Yulin County, Hepu County, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County. Except for Hepu County, who was the prefect of himself, he had never seen the prefects of the other six counties. Moreover, there was no kingdom in Jiaozhou, which shows the hardship here.
