Chapter 18 Entrusted with Important Tasks
As Liu Feng guessed, Tian Yu was indeed dissatisfied with the changes during this period.
Although I didn’t show it, I felt very depressed in my heart.
Similarly following Liu Bei, and also experiencing bloody battlefields, Tian Yu believed that both his loyalty to Liu Bei and his own talents were no weaker than those of Guan and Zhang.
But since entering Xu, both Guan and Zhang have been worshiped as school captains and even led a unit alone.
But Tian Yu stayed put, which made him wonder whether his decision to stay was too hasty.
That’s right, in history, Tian Yu could not survive at all.
After Liu Bei was appointed governor of Yuzhou by Tao Qian, Tian Yu left Liu Bei and returned to his hometown.
The reason why he is in Xuzhou now is entirely because of the butterfly Liu Feng.
Liu Feng specially sent someone to visit the Tian family with a heavy gift to greet Tian Yu's mother.
Later, on the pretext of bringing a letter, he obtained a letter from Tian Yu's mother and quickly sent it to Xuzhou and handed it over to Tian Yu.
This era attaches great importance to filial piety, and Tian Yu is a filial son. It was Liu Feng's actions that made him unable to leave without shame and stayed.
Just when Tian Yu was thinking about leaving again, Liu Bei suddenly gave him such a big gift package, which made Tian Yu almost suspect that he was hallucinating.
No matter how proud Tian Yu is, he does not think that he is qualified to be a school captain now, let alone a county magistrate.
The county magistrate is a high-ranking officer with a thousand-stone rank. Even the second-class county magistrate is a high-ranking official with a rank of 600-stone. right.
This is why Tian Yu was dissatisfied with Guan and Zhang's appointment as school captains, and now he can't believe it.
Before Tian Yu could recover, Liu Bei announced Zhao Yun’s appointment again.
"Zilong, I also recognize you as a Sima of another department, stationed in Chengxian County, concurrently as the county magistrate of Chengxian County, and responsible for all farming affairs in Chengxian County."
Zhao Yun was also confused. His mood was exactly the same as Tian Yu's.
Although Zhao Yun is a low-key person, the most famous one in history is "Yun Danu".
Anything connected with this sentence will end badly.
His current official position is lower than Tian Yu.
He was just a cavalry captain. The dozens of cavalry he led were nominally assigned to Liu Bei by Gongsun Zan, but in fact they were Zhao Yun's township party.
Zhao Yun's official position at this time was just the captain of the cavalry. Although the cavalry had the advantage of a military type, even taking this into account, he was actually just a low-level officer with a hundred stone level.
At this time, Zhao Yun was promoted to a senior official of Qianshi by Liu Bei in one fell swoop. Zhao Yun was completely confused. Like Tian Yu, he felt that everything had become a bit unreal.
Seeing this scene, Liu Feng felt greatly relieved.
Although my father is stupid, he is still very obedient.
Liu Feng’s recommendation was actually calculated in advance. After all, if he wanted to open the window, he would easily succeed if he directly shouted that he wanted to demolish the house.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei actually accepted it completely.
Tian Yu and Zhao Yun also came to their senses. They stood up from their seats and bowed to Liu Bei.
"My lord loves me so much, Yu (Yun) dares not to die for my lord. It's just that Yu (Yun) has little talent and little knowledge, so I might not be qualified. Please think again, lord."
Looking at the anxious expressions of Tian Yu and Zhao Yun , it can be seen that their words are not entirely modest, and they feel a little guilty about being promoted to such a high position.
Besides, they are not newcomers, and they know that such a promotion will put a lot of pressure on Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei is the pastor of Xuzhou, it does not mean that Xuzhou is his one-word hall.
Promoting cronies, especially promotions above the rank level, can easily be carried out according to the needs of the people, causing strong backlash and obstruction from the local nobles.
At that time, even if he succeeds, it will cause dissatisfaction among local scholars, and once the promotion fails, it will greatly damage Liu Bei's prestige and influence.
After all, Tian Yu and Zhao Yun are both outstanding people with loyal personalities. After feeling Liu Bei's courtesy, they did not rush to take over. Instead, they became worried about Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei in turn comforted Tian Yu and Zhao Yun, left his seat personally, helped them up one by one, and then held each of them with one hand.
"Guorang, Zilong, you all have extraordinary talents and excellent moral character, but you are missing an opportunity to show your talents. I believe in you, just like I believe in Yun Chang and Yide.
This appointment is because I hope that these two worthy brothers can share my worries and give full play to their talents to manage the two counties for me. ”
Tian Yu and Zhao Yun felt their blood rush, and the resentment and dissatisfaction in their hearts before were swept away, and they even felt a sense of shame.
For a moment, the two of them felt that Liu Bei treated them as a scholar, but they were dissatisfied because they were not promoted. Is this still the behavior of a man?
Guan and Zhang sat by and watched without any displeasure. Liu Bei had already dealt with them this morning.
Both of them also agreed.
They only had so few soldiers and horses before. Even though Guan and Zhang had good relations with Tian Yu and Zhao Yun, they were not so good that they were willing to cut off their own flesh to subsidize the other party. What's more, even if they wanted to cut off, they would have to agree with Liu Bei. ah.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be just being generous and doing favors to oneself? Wouldn't this be a fool's errand?
Now that Tian Yu and Zhao Yun have made a difference, they are also very happy.
As for Pan Zhang, his eyes were straightened when he saw it.
Pan Wengui, who was born as a ranger, had never seen such a scene before.
Liu Bei promised two county magistrates in one breath, and also attached two other commanders, which was at least two thousand soldiers and horses.
Pan Zhang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. No wonder Liu Feng dared to offer him the position of village commander when he saw him. It seemed that he was indeed a direct father and son, and they were so generous to his cronies.
It’s ridiculous that I almost thought Liu Feng was a liar at first, just because he treated Liu Feng so well. It was really embarrassing.
Tian Yu and Zhao Yun had a hint of shame and uneasiness on their faces, and they wanted to refuse.
Liu Bei decisively spoke first: "Two worthy brothers, there is no need to say more. Please know that the appointment given to you this time is not only a promotion, but also a heavy responsibility.
Cheng, Lan The two counties of Ling were both destroyed by Cao Cao, and there was no one left in the city.
These two counties, together with several surrounding counties, have completely collapsed. Officials cannot gather the people, and the people cannot find officials. Brother, I can only entrust the remaining people of the two counties to you. "
"My lord has a deep affection for Yu. Do you dare not to die for your lord? "
"Please rest assured, my lord, Yun will do his best and will never let down my lord's kindness! ”
Tian Yu and Zhao Yun both bowed down at the same time, willing to go through fire and water for Liu Bei, no matter what.
Liu Bei laughed loudly, and helped the two of them up while relaxing. Tone.
As Feng'er had expected, his negligence and last resort during this period had indeed hurt Guorang and Zilong's hearts.
Fortunately, Feng'er was aware of it and suggested that he could make amends in time, and finally he did not let down Guorang and Zilong.
