Chapter 658: The matter of persuading to advance

The Central Plains region was in constant melee, while Li Yu focused on construction in Qinzhou.

After a few months, Li Yu's Wu Palace was not only built, but Qin City had been rebuilt from a ruin.

The people who fled due to the invasion of the Xifan Army have moved back one after another. In addition, the melee in the Central Plains has also led to the emergence of a large number of refugees.

These refugees fled westward and eventually gathered in Qinzhou and Liangzhou.

The entry of a large number of refugees also provided the necessary manpower foundation for the development and growth of Qinzhou and Liangzhou.

On this day, Zhang Hong, the governor of Liangzhou, came to Qincheng.

This time he went to Qincheng, mainly to discuss several important matters with Li Yu.

One is about the resettlement of refugees, and the other is that Zhang Hong wanted to formally incorporate the Su Nu tribe of Xiaoyang Kingdom into Liangzhou and make it a county in Liangzhou. He has already given up all the county names, so it is called Liangxi County.

After Zhang Hong arrived in Qincheng, he did not go to see Li Yu immediately, but instead met with Qinzhou Mu Jingyu first.

Jing Yu used to serve in the Ministry of Personnel and had a relationship with Zhang Hong.

Now when we meet again, both of us seem very enthusiastic.

Jing Yu personally left the prefecture and invited Zhang Hong into the lobby.

After sitting down, Zhang Hong couldn't help but sigh: "From Liangcheng in Liangzhou, to Qinzhou, I have seen and heard along the way, which made me feel a lot! Shuxian (Jing Yu's name) built Qinzhou so well that I can't see any traces of being destroyed by the war!"

Jing Yu smiled and said, "Brother Shouye (Zhang Hong's name is so polite! The reason why Qinzhou recovered so quickly is all due to His Highness. How dare you be greedy for me?"

When Zhang Hong's face turned right when he mentioned His Highness, he was about to speak, and his eyes subconsciously looked around.

Jing Yu immediately understood and waved to everyone present, signaling them to retreat first.

After Jing Yu stepped back, Zhang Hong said, "I came to Qinzhou this time to settle the refugees, and the other to incorporate the Su Nu tribe."

Jing Yu listened seriously and nodded.

But I didn't understand very much, what was the meaning of Zhang Hong telling him about these things.

Whether it is to settle refugees or incorporate the Su Nu tribe into Liangzhou, this is all a matter of Liangzhou. I, the governor of Qinzhou, can't control myself!

Zhang Hong looked around again, then leaned forward, approached Jing Yu, and whispered: "Although these two things are important, they are not the most important!"

Jing Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the most important thing?"

"Please come in!"

Zhang Hong looked at Jing Yu straight and said word by word.

When Jing Yu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe.

I see!

No wonder Zhang Hong came to Qinzhou from Liangzhou thousands of miles away, because it turned out to be a matter of persuading him to advance.

Zhang Hong cleared his throat and said, "Now, the King of Wei proclaims emperor in the capital, the King of Yan proclaims emperor in Yanzhou, the King of Qi, Jin, and Chu proclaims emperor in their respective fiefs. Even King of Zhou and King Jian have dominated Wuzhou and are very determined to be emperor!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Hong sighed softly and said, "If you want to talk about territory, your highness occupies the territory of Liangzhou and Qinzhou, the largest among the kings! If you want to talk about population, Liangzhou and Qinzhou both received a large number of refugees, and the population increased sharply! If you want to talk about military strength, your highness's troops are even ranked first among the kings! The King of Wei, King of Yan, King of Qi, King of Jin, and King of Chu can even be called emperor, why can't Your Highness?

Shuxian, what do you think?"

Jing Yu picked up the teacup and did not make a statement immediately.

He slowly drank a sip of tea, and then asked, "Is this the thought of Brother Shouye alone, or is it the thought of Liangzhou Prefecture, County Prefecture, and everyone?"

Zhang Hong hurriedly said, "When I was traveling, the officials of the prefecture came to see him off, and all mentioned this matter. The county and county governments also wrote in their letters that I hope that after seeing Your Highness, I can make the best efforts and persuade Your Highness to enter!"

Jing Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that he did not make a statement immediately, Zhang Hong couldn't help asking, "Shuxian doesn't want to persuade me to come in with me?"

Jing Yu smiled and shook his head slowly.

As your minister, how could you not want your highness to go further?

His Highness proclaimed himself emperor, and those who are ministers will naturally become successful.

Jing Yu was considering whether now was the best time for His Highness to become emperor.

After thinking about it, Jing Yu said, "I think this matter needs to be discussed with Zhenren Lu!"

Zhang Hong nodded and said seriously: "No need to delay, we will discuss this matter today!"

Jing Yu had no objection, so he sent someone to invite Lu Fang, Qin Ying, Shan Feng, Xu Nian and other lieutenant generals.

That night, everyone arrived and gathered in Qinzhou Prefecture.

Zhang Hong took the lead in speaking out about persuading him to advance.

When it comes to persuading to advance, Qin Ying, Shan Feng, Xu Nian and other generals all shined with excitement and excitement.

On the contrary, Lu Fang had a calm expression and a weak attitude.

Zhang Hongneng took the time to Qincheng in public, and Lu Fang had already guessed Zhang Hong's intention.

Lu Fang said: "At present, the war in the Central Plains has not yet affected Liangzhou and Qinzhou, why?"

Zhang Hong was silent.

Lu Fang continued: "Just because Your Highness has not yet been called emperor! Your Highness will not pose a threat to the King of Wei, Yan, Qi, Jin, and Chu, and they will not easily point the finger at the Liang and Qin prefectures.

In this way, Your Highness can grow and grow in Liang and Qinzhou with peace of mind, accumulate strength and build strength!"

Zhang Hong disagreed with Lu Fang's view and felt that it was too conservative.

He said seriously: "At present, all the heroes are at the same time. His Highness is about to show great success and achieve great success! But the King of Wei and King of Yan all claim to be emperors, and His Highness is just a vassal king. Just in his reputation, His Highness is shorter than them. Can Zhenren Lu know how many talents will this cause His Highness to lose and how many talents will miss?"

Lu Fang also agreed with Zhang Hong's statement.

Things are two-sided, so how can they be perfect?

You want to seek development with peace of mind, not arouse the fear of the kings, and you also want to hold high the banner of the emperor and recruit talents from all over the world. How is this possible?

Therefore, this requires decision makers to weigh the pros and cons and make choices.

Lu Fang thought for a long time and said, "I still feel that the present is not the best time for Your Highness to proclaim himself emperor!"

Qin Ying, Shan Feng, Xu Nian, and other generals who were already passionate about their blood were suddenly filled with coldness when they heard Lu Fang's words.

Qin Ying stood up and said loudly: "If Your Highness proclaims himself emperor and there is an enemy attack, I am willing to lead the army to fight. If the enemy attacks in the future, kill him without leaving any armor!"

Shan Feng and Xu Nian both stood up and expressed their opinions, saying, "I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"

Lu waved his hands to the three of them, signaling them not to be excited for the first time and all sat down.

He stroked his beard, looked at Jing Yu, and fell into deep thought.

Jing Yu noticed Lu Fang's eyes floating over, and he asked curiously: "Does Lu Zhenren have something to say to the lower officials?"

Lu Fang said meaningfully: "If your highness wants to recruit talents from all over the world, you don't have to rush to proclaim emperor. There is another way."

"What's the solution?"

"Go and invite someone!"

"Who is it?"

"Duke Zhenguo, Tao Yuan!"
