Chapter 488 Pan Jun volunteers
People who are completely opposite to Pan Jun are also ready-made, which is Fan Yichang when Liu Feng feasted the scholars of Jingzhou.
This man was extremely loyal to Liu Bei. After the Eastern Wu attacked Guan Yu and captured Jingzhou, he colluded with Xi Zhen to launch a mutiny. Because he was quite influential in Jingzhou, Wuling was shocked for a while, and the stance of the county's anti-Sun and Liu were greatly influenced.
At that time, Sun Quan asked Pan Jun for advice, but Pan Jun didn't take it seriously at all. He directly told Sun Quan that Fan Yichang was too capable and could not succeed.
As Pan Jun said, Sun Quan gave him five thousand troops and pacified Wuling within three months and killed Fan Yichang and Xi Zhen.
Pan Jun did not look down on Fan Yichang for no reason, but had causes and consequences.
Fan Yichang invited guests in Xiangyang that year and invited more than a dozen famous scholars from Xiangyang to visit and held a banquet to entertain everyone. As a result, this luncheon of more than a dozen people was unable to eat for three hours, and finally ended up in an unhappy manner.
It was precisely based on this that Pan Jun concluded that Fan Yichang was just a man with high expectations and at least had no ability to govern.
Liu Feng also agreed with Pan Jun's view. It would be a disaster for people like Fan Yichang to practice. But is Fan Yichang not available?
Obviously not. Fan Yichang is so loyal and willing to serve Liu Bei with his death. No matter how you look at it, he is a very rare man.
Therefore, the most suitable place for Fan Yichang is to do a clean or foreign affairs.
Fan Yichang's abilities are loyalty, fame, family background and eloquence, so try to use their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses.
When summoned today, Zhuge Liang and the other three also made great achievements. After all, these talents were all prepared for them.
However, Pan Jun and Ma Liang had other arrangements.
Pan Jun is from Wuling. Although Ma Liang is from Xiangyang, the Ma family and Wuling Jingman have a deep relationship, and they have maintained a trade for hundreds of years, which can be said to be a friendship for several generations.
Jingbei cannot move for the time being, but Jingnan is different. Liu Feng will rectify Jingnan next, among which Wuximan is a big problem.
To solve this problem, the Pan family where Pan Jun is located and the Ma family where Ma Liang is located are undoubtedly a very good tool.
When Liu Feng trayed his plan, everyone in the hall showed surprise.
Whether it was Feng Xi, the brothers Xi Zhen and Xi Hong, Fu Tong and Huo brothers, or Wei Yan, who were born in a powerful family, they were all inexplicably surprised, as if a pie fell from the sky.
It's no wonder they have such a reaction. According to the formal process of this era, it takes several years for them to show their obedience and loyalty. A large family like Feng and Xi should pay more food and wealth to show their respect.
As for the Fu Tong and the Huo brothers who came from powerful families, they had to wait until the big families such as Feng and Xi were trusted by Liu Feng before they were promoted.
But now, Liu Feng actually gave them a task directly, and this task was followed by Liu Feng's most trusted cabinet officer to execute, which naturally made them overjoyed.
After listening to the mission carefully, they keenly discovered that this was a task that could win military merits, and they were even more surprised. In their opinion, this task of pacifying Shanyue and Jingman is now in high demand.
Now Liu Feng actually allowed them to assist Zhuge Liang and the other two to go to the execution, which shows that they had at least skipped the stage of grinding and accepted them directly.
This means that both for them and the families behind them directly save years of time and expense.
How can this make them dislike?
Fortunately, these people are all talented people selected by Liu Feng, and they were not so happy that they lost their composure. What made Liu Feng even more happy was that just by looking at the expressions and attitudes of these people towards him, they could know that their loyalty to Liu Feng has undoubtedly reached a higher level.
Afterwards, Liu Feng handed these people over to Zhuge Liang and the other two, and himself called Pan Jun and Ma Liang, who were not surprised by their favor and disgrace.
Liu Feng led the two to the back hall. After he divided the host and guest in the study, he teased with interest: "Chengming and Ji Chang, are you envious in your heart?"
Pan Jun first bent down to salute Liu Feng, and then replied seriously: "Ming Gong called Jun, which has a deep meaning. Jun just needs to listen to the respect. But the colleagues are good at helping him, but Ming Gong is better than his strengths. What do you envy? "
Liu Feng nodded with a smile. This answer was very consistent with Pan Jun's temperament. It was a little noble, but quite practical.
In contrast, Ma Liang's reply seemed much more low-key and gentle. He just said honestly, "Ming Gong thinks, how dare you guess? Ming Gong has his own will, and Liang will follow everything."
Liu Feng gave Ma Liang a look of praise and then said, "See you two, and the ones you are talking about are Wuxi Man."
After hearing Liu Feng's words, Pan Jun and Ma Liang said in their hearts.
Both of them are wise and good at planning. When Liu Feng explained his plan to appoint everyone in the lobby just now, Pan Jun and Ma Liang were suspicious and couldn't help but guess the purpose of Liu Feng finding him.
Soon, they woke up to this.
Among the tasks assigned by Liu Feng to Zhuge Liang and the other three, Jingnan Wuxi Man was not included. Pan Jun was born in Wuling County, and the Pan family was even more powerful in Wuling County.
Although the Ma family where Ma Liang is located is from Yicheng, Xiangyang, the relationship between the Ma family and Wuxi barbarians is also very deep.
In this way, the two of them could not see through anything, and they had already guessed Liu Feng's purpose at that time.
Pan Jun and Ma Liang looked at each other inadvertently. They had their own plans in their hearts, but they were a little afraid of each other and didn't know what the other party wanted.
This was also because the incident was rushed and Liu Feng found all the people before the matter was announced. Otherwise, Pan Jun and Ma Liang would definitely communicate in private. As long as there is no fundamental conflict in interests, the two families will inevitably strive to maintain consistency in interests.
But now, the two of them can only show their magical powers.
Ma Liang waited for a moment, after all, compared with the Pan family, the Ma family is slightly inferior.
But Pan Jun fell into deep thought and didn't speak for a while.
After hesitating for a while, Ma Liang decided to take the lead.
"I wonder what strategy the lord is for Wuxi Man? The so-called targeted things, Liang dares to ask the lord how to deal with Wuxi Man, so that he can prescribe the right medicine and give advice to the lord."
Liu Feng glanced at Pan Jun, who continued to think deeply, so he replied to Ma Liang: "The Wuxi Man gathered hundreds of thousands of people, and should not be underestimated. I naturally want to go down the mountain to register households and all the people, and draw the troops to join the army. But in a rash and hasty manner, it is difficult to achieve anything."
Ma Liang felt relieved. What he was afraid of was that Liu Feng was too demanding and too hasty.
Now that Liu Feng himself said that the time is not ripe, the requirements will naturally not be too strict, and Ma Liang naturally has to relax a lot.
Immediately, Ma Liang continued to ask, "What is the lord's intention?" Liu Feng stood up and circled around the study.
Although he had already thought about the answer to Ma Liang's question, he was still a little hesitant when the matter was about to come. After a while, he made up his mind and said, "I want Shamoke to lead five thousand Jingman troops out of the mountain and form a battalion to wait for the call. As long as Shamoke agrees, I can report to him as the General of the Central Army, start a separate court, allow him to go down the mountain to trade, and buy and sell supplies."
Speaking of this, Liu Feng suddenly remembered something and added: "This market is managed by your Ma family, allowing you to draw 10% of the commercial tax, which is exclusively for the cost of the market."
After hearing this, Ma Liang was overjoyed.
Liu Feng's request was not too much. In the original time and space, Liu Bei lost Jingzhou, and Shamoke was willing to bring more than 10,000 Jingman soldiers to help. At this time, the entire Jingzhou was owned by Liu Feng. As long as Shamoke did not burn his head, he would not refuse to serve Liu Feng.
Besides, Liu Feng did not let him play for free, but gave great benefits. Compared with the official titles of General Zhonglang, the benefits of the mutual market are even greater.
Ma Liang had great confidence to convince Shamoko to nod his agreement, and Ma could still get the reward for the management rights of the market, which was really a good deal.
Just when Ma Liang wanted to agree and recommended himself, he went to Wuxi in person to persuade Shamoke, Pan Jun spoke first.
"Lord, I am not talented. I am willing to go to Wuxi to persuade the barbarian king Shamoke to surrender."
Liu Feng couldn't react for a moment. After a moment of being stunned, hesitantly asked, "Chengming, do you want to persuade Samoke?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"That's right!"
Pan Jun responded immediately, with a calm expression, and a stern look in his hand: "The lord doesn't know anything. Shamoke admires the sinicization and has long been in a position to submit. But he is not allowed to be at the right time or to be at peace. Now the lord is wise and powerful, and he has no different views on the barbarians. Zulang is just the chief of Shanyue, but he is appointed as the chief of the Poyang commander. This shows that the lord's broad mind is rare."
Liu Feng did not take Pan Jun's praise at all. What he cared about was whether the other party wanted to persuade Shamoke to surrender.
Pan Jun next talked about the current situation of Wuximan.
The Wuxi Man is actually almost the same as the Han people, and the Wuxi Man is not a simple fishing and hunting nation now, and most of them have become a farming and hunting nation.
Most of the Wuximans have now lived a settled farming life. They can grow crops such as rice and soybeans, accumulate certain agricultural production experience in long-term development, and can reclaim farmland and build water conservancy facilities to ensure the stable progress of agricultural production.
At a high point, they are no longer different from the Han people.
However, because they could not defeat the Han people, they were forced to trap in the mountains and cultivate grain on the small plains of the mountain valleys, and supplemented the meat needs with fishing and hunting.
After listening to Pan Jun's detailed explanation, Liu Feng responded a little with his mouth.
The main reason why the barbarians are difficult to deal with is that they are not farming people and they run away without any scruples. They can take the Han army around the mountains and play hide and seek.
But now Wuxi Man has begun to settle down and has a mature farming system.
This means that Wuximan has assets that cannot be discarded and no longer has the elegance of the past.
Once the Han army beat the snake and took the other party's settlement and land, the Wuxi Man would no longer be able to escape unless it could really throw it away.
No wonder Pan Jun has the confidence to persuade Wuxi Man King Shamoke. It turns out that the Pan family knew Wuxi Man so well. Pan Jun's confidence obviously comes from grasping Wuximan's weaknesses and weaknesses.
Liu Feng continued to ask, "Chengming, if you can persuade the Wuxi Man, you should make a great contribution. But I don't know what conditions you need, and persuade Shamoko to be willing to surrender?"
Weakness is weakness, if you want Shamoko to bow his head and accept surrender, it is also a dream. Even if Shamokki is willing to surrender, the vested interests among the Wuxi Barbarians will definitely not.
Only then did Pan Jun tray his wishful thinking.
"Lord, Wuximan is located in the land of Wuxi. These five streams are the five streams of Xiongxi, Chunxi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi in the upper reaches of the Yuan River in Wuling County.
This area has 60% of Wuling County. Wuling County has twelve counties and towns, eleven of which are in the central and northeastern parts of Wuling County. Together, these places only occupy two-fifths of Wuling County’s land. But the remaining three-fifths are only one county in Hancheng, and the land occupied is all among the mountains.
A large area of them is said to be Han territory, but in fact it is the territory of Wuxi Barbarians. ”
After introducing the situation in Wuxi area, Pan Jun naturally made a request: "So, Jun asked to establish several more counties in the southwest of Wuling to tolerate Wuxi. As his talented people in his clan, he might be able to complete his mission."
At this point, Liu Feng suddenly realized that Pan Jun had such an idea.
This is not to say that Pan Jun’s method is not good. The other party can see the problems between Wuxi Man and the Han court and plan from it, which shows that his talent is indeed extraordinary. More importantly, his plan is really feasible.
Not bad, it will not cause negative effects.
Since that's the case, let him give it a try.
Liu Feng's eyes flashed across Ma Liang's face, and he saw that the other party looked complicated, and he was shocked and doubtful, and a little bit admired.
Liu Feng's heart moved, and the words changed again when he spoke: "Chengming, you are fully responsible for this matter, and Ji Chang is your deputy. If you can say that you will surrender to the Wuxi Man, you two will be the first to be the masters."
Pan Jun did not expect that in the end, he still failed to kick Ma Liang out. Ma Liang was also surprised and happy, but unexpectedly Liu Feng ordered him to be Pan Jun's deputy.
Although Pan Jun was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say it. He could only respond with Ma Liang, who was overjoyed, "Here! I will obey the general's order."
**
After seeing off the people in Jingzhou, Liu Feng closed his eyes in the study and rested for a while.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Zhuge Liang waiting in front of me.
Liu Feng said with some guilt and guilt, "When did Kong Ming come? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "The lord has worked too hard during this period and needs to pay attention to his health."
Liu Feng nodded: "Kong Ming is looking for me, what's wrong?"
Zhuge Liang replied, "Lord, we are now in charge of important local positions and will be on duty at any time. But after we leave, who will be recruited by the cabinet to supplement it?"
