"Are you familiar with these famous scholars?" Sun Ce poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Chang.

Zhang Chang was flattered, took it with both hands, took a sip, and the warm water ran along his throat to his abdomen. Not only did his throat feel much more comfortable, but his heart was also warm. He served as Sima under Gongsun Mo for so long, and Gongsun Mo never poured him a glass of water. Although Sun Ce was young, rich and had a great achievement, his achievements were far beyond the reach of Gongsun Du's brothers, he respected him so much as a surrender, which was rare even if he won people's hearts.

Zhang Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm not hiding it from the Lord and Lord, but these are all famous scholars in the Central Plains. They are not worthy of their knowledge and morality. Although they have seen each other a few times, they have no friendship. If the Lord and Lord want to invite these people to serve as an official, I'm afraid I won't be able to help. But..." He paused, looking a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Zhongren, just say whatever you have, don't worry about it."

"Here." Zhang Changgong bowed. "I recommend someone, maybe it's OK."

Sun Ce smiled. "Which wise man is it?"

"The general under the command of the Lord and the Lord, Taishi Ci, Taishi Ziyi."

Sun Ce was very surprised. He thought Zhang Chang was going to introduce some relatives and friends, but he didn't expect that what he was talking about was Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci was from Qingzhou and had taken refuge in Liaodong. He might have known these people, but he had never mentioned these people, and he thought that the relationship was just ordinary. Zhang Chang's recommendation was a bit a bit taken for granted. Besides, Taishi Ci was far away in Zhuo County and could not be spared. Moreover, Taishi Ci was a martial artist, so he might not be able to attract the eyes of those famous scholars.

Zhang Chang kept staring at Sun Ce. Seeing that Sun Ce was dissatisfied, he said, "Have you ever heard of Liu Zheng?"

Sun Ce shook his head.

"Liu Zheng is also from Beihai. He is in the same county as Bing Yuan. He is brave and powerful. Gongsun’s mansion has known his name for a long time. When he heard that he came to Liaodong, he was worried that it would be disadvantageous, so he sent someone to arrest him and not allow anyone to take him in. Otherwise, he would have to go and surrender to Bing Yuan. Bing Yuan hid him, and later Taishici returned to Qingzhou, so he asked Taishici to take Liu Zheng back to his hometown. Therefore, Bing Yuan owed Taishici a favor. If Taishici appeared and invited him, even if he wrote a letter, it would be better."

Sun Ce suddenly realized. It turned out that there was such a story, which he had never heard Taishi Ci say. Speaking of this, Liu Zheng did have some impression of the name, but he was not very clear and didn't remember it for a while.

"Ziyi is in Zhuo County, and it takes a lot of time to come and go."

Zhang Chang bowed again. "Your Majesty, I have some selfish thoughts when I make this proposal."

"Let me tell me." Sun Ce smiled. Generally speaking, the selfishness that speaks to the point of being clear is not selfishness.

"Yes. Lord, there are more than 60,000 households in Liaodong. In addition, the Hu people who are not registered and the Central Plains who come across the sea, the total household registration is more than 100,000, which is a major county in Youzhou. It is crucial to stabilize Youzhou. The Han and Han people live in mixed residences, and the people are tough and difficult to control. When governing the world, they still need to be both kind and powerful. If the people are uneasy today, they have no grace to be able to be powerful and can only be powerful. Taishi is wise in martial arts and has been fighting for many years and can guard one side. If he can serve as the prefect of Liaodong and be accompanied by famous Qingzhou scholars such as Bing Yuan, Liaodong can be safe. Otherwise, even if he has the wisdom of Bing Yuan, he will not be able to govern. Bing Yuan is a wise person, and he cannot be able to accept the invitation of the Lord and the Lord."

Sun Ce's eyebrows were lightly raised and he was a little moved. He had originally planned to let Taishici guard Liaodong, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Gongsun Zan died, so he had to let Taishici go to western Liaoning first. The western Liaoning household registration was too small, and only by joining Youbeiping, the vassal states in Liaodong had a certain influence. Now that Gongsun Du surrendered, he could transfer Taishici over.

Seeing Sun Ce's intention, Zhang Chang explained it again. The situation in Liaodong is complex, not only as simple as the Han and Hu people's living together, but also borders several Hu races, including Goguryeo, Fuyu, Wuhuan and Xianbei. These Hu people are divided or combined, complicated, and often complain. Ordinary people cannot suppress them at all. The only way is to use both kindness and power, and supplement them with temptation on the basis of military submission. Most of the best in the Liaodong prefects are well-versed in military affairs, such as sacrifices and salvation. The reason is very simple. The Hu people advocate strength. Without strong force as a backing, they will not take you seriously. Bingyuan's moral knowledge is nothing to say, and his force is insufficient, far less suitable as Taishici.

After listening to Zhang Chang's explanation, Sun Ce felt that there was some truth. Regardless of whether Taishi Ci was transferred or not, at least the new Liaodong prefect must be a person with strong military capabilities. Celebrities like Bing Yuan can only assist and cannot be the leader.

Sun Ce thanked Zhang Chang and sent him away. After seeing the list he wrote, he felt a little troubled. Taishici was indeed a suitable candidate for the prefect of Liaodong, but Taishici had just taken office as the prefect of Liaoxi, and many things had just begun. The war in Zhuo County was not over yet. Will the transfer of Taishici be wasted? Besides, this battle has little to do with Taishici, and he must consider the emotions of the generals participating in the war when he took over as the prefect of Liaodong.

Zhuge Liang and Zhu Ran stood aside and looked at Sun Ce quietly. Sun Ce turned around twice, and saw that the two of them looked calm, he asked casually: "Kong Ming, Yifeng, what do you think of Zhang Chang's suggestions?"

Zhuge Liang and Zhu Ran looked at each other and smiled at each other. Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, the situation Zhang Chang said is roughly correct, but it is an exaggeration to say that he must be a Taishi Ziyi."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and signaled Zhuge Liang to continue. Zhuge Liang said: "As Zhang Chang said, the situation in Liaodong Han and Han dynasties was complicated, and a general who was well versed in military affairs and was best at cavalry warfare was in charge. Taishi Ziyi was a suitable person, but he was definitely not the only one. However, Zhang Chang was not clear. For the sake of safety, he took advantage of the opportunity to eliminate Bing Yuan and others to recommend Taishi Ziyi as the prefect of Liaodong, and to promote the matter so as to avoid long nights and many dreams."

"The night is long and the dreams are many?"

"Yes, Zhang Chang was worried that Gongsun Du would be repeated, hoping that the person who took over as the prefect of Liaodong would be strong enough, so that Gongsun Du would not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts. Taishi Ziyi is a native of Qingzhou and has met Bing Yuan and others. With the help of Qingzhou refugees, he can quickly grasp Liaodong. But in the long run, this may not be a hidden danger. Taishi Ziyi is a warrior. Bing Yuan and others regard themselves as famous scholars, and may not be able to obey his orders. If they repeatedly urge public opinion and turn the guests on the front line, it will make Taishi Ziyi a dilemma. If strictness is a harm to the local party, and lenientness is suspected of indulgence. Even if the king and marquis believe in him, it will inevitably cause criticism."

Sun Ce nodded. "Then tell me, who else can take over as the prefect of Liaodong except Taishi Ziyi?"

"Uncle Chen arrives and Dong Yuan Dynasty, you can do it."

Sun Ce understood Zhuge Liang's worries. It was precisely because Taishi Ci was from Qingzhou and was familiar with Bing Yuan and others that they had no fear of Taishi Ci. These people had greater appeal than Taishi Ci, and those Qingzhou refugees were more willing to rely on them and were unwilling to rely on Taishi Ci. Once they formed a strong tail, Taishi Ci would be constrained and might cause rumors that were unfavorable to him.

Chen Dao was a suitable person, but the personal guards could not be commanded by anyone, and Chen Dao could not move. Dong Xi was loyal, but he was more familiar with infantry tactics and was not familiar with cavalry combat, so he might not be suitable for being the prefect of Liaodong. His advantage may be his Jiangdong identity.

Sun Ce had a headache. He had many generals under his command, but not many people were proficient in cavalry warfare. He was not competent for fighting in the northern border. He was not proficient in cavalry warfare. He not only had to be proficient in cavalry warfare, but also had the ability to manage the government. The situation in Liaodong was complicated and it was impossible to implement military and political separation for the time being. Unfortunately, Chen Wu and others were too young and could not stand alone for the time being.

After thinking about it, Taishici is the most suitable one.

Sun Ce was difficult to make a decision for a while, so Zhuge Liang invited Guo Jia. After hearing Sun Ce’s thoughts, Guo Jia also felt that this candidate was not easy. Zhuge Liang’s worries make sense. Taishici and Bing Yuan and others may not be able to gain the upper hand, but there are indeed no more suitable candidates except Taishici. There are really not many people like Taishici.

Guo Jia finally made a suggestion: Let Taishi Ci be the governor of the war zone, and control the military and political affairs of the vassal states of Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Liaodong, Xuantu, and Lelang counties, and concentrate the cavalry of each county, and be commanded by Taishi Ci. The prefect of Liaodong can send other candidates to be responsible for the political affairs in the territory, and share part of the military training and command of the infantry, which is mainly infantry training and command to assist Taishi Ci. In order to control Liaodong as soon as possible, some people can be selected from the meritorious soldiers to serve in various counties and be responsible for military affairs.

Sun Ce felt that this method was good, which reduced the military requirements of the Liaodong prefect. There were more candidates all of a sudden, and Dong Xi could also be competent. When he became familiar with the cavalry tactics, he would be a complete Liaodong prefect and share part of the responsibilities of Taishi Ci.

As soon as the idea was opened, the originally difficult problem was solved. Sun Ce asked Gu Hui to write a letter and sent someone to greet Bing Yuan and others first to explore their words. If they were willing to accept the expulsion, they would appoint them as county historians, county magistrates, etc., to assist Taishi Ci and Dong Xi to control Liaodong. If they were not happy, they would not force it. Liaodong is a border county, and the requirements for military quality are far higher than the requirements for cultural quality. The role of famous scholars is actually very limited.

Even so, Sun Ce did not do anything perfunctory. He was about to rebuild Qingxu, but these Qingzhou people could still come in handy. After Gu Hui finished writing the draft, he read it carefully twice and put forward a few more opinions to make Gu Hui polish it. When Sun Qian came back, he sent Sun Qian to Xiangping. After the negotiations with Gongsun Du, Sun Qian was going to Xiangping to meet Gongsun Kang, and the two things happened to be done together.

After two days of delay, Gan Ning finally led the navy to arrive. He suffered a lot along the way. After learning that the war had ended, Sun Ce defeated Gongsun Mo and forced more than 10,000 Liaodong infantry and cavalry to surrender, he sighed and his disappointment was beyond words.

Sun Ce immediately gave him a task: send Zhang Chang to office, ease Lelang, and arrest Zhang Qi to the case.

Gan Ning was overjoyed and left happily.m.
