It has been a month since Liu Zhang entered Chengdu.

During this month, he had basically figured out the situation in Yizhou. Although Guanzhong was thousands of miles away, messengers would come over every few days and report the situation in Guanzhong to him.

But, a new problem came up.

In a recent contact, Guan Zhong asked Liu Zhang when he would return to Chang'an, and Ma Teng who followed him into Yizhou.Liu Chang and other generals were also vaguely worried.

What they are worried about is only the issue of governing offices. The establishment of governing offices is related to the life and death of a power.

However, I have only been in Yizhou for a month and returned to Guanzhong in such a hurry, how can I control Yizhou.

Yizhou is so vast, rich in things and people, and has great potential for war.

However, the advantage of Yizhou is its terrain, and its disadvantage is also the terrain.

If the government is established in Yizhou, it will be difficult for others to attack, and it will also be difficult for oneself to get out.

Liu Zhang intended to fight for hegemony, but naturally he was unwilling.

But if he leaves Yizhou now, there is no guarantee that the aristocratic family in Yizhou will break away from his control and become self-reliant like Zhang Lu.

"Check that the host is hesitating, and release the task."

"Mission [-]: Persevere in striving for hegemony in the world, set the government in Chang'an, and reward two thousand tigers and light cavalry."

"Mission [-]: Focus on conservatism, move the government office to Chengdu, and reward the setting sun archers with two thousand."

"I choose task two."

After Liu Zhang thought about it, he made up his mind to move the government office to Chengdu, so his control over Guanzhong would be weakened. Once Li Jue and Guo Si of Luoyang stormed Tongguan, if he reacted too slowly, Guanzhong might be lost.

If the government is still fixed in Chang'an, his rule over Guanzhong will be stable, but in this way, his rule over Yizhou will be much weaker.

He wanted Guanzhong, and he wanted Yizhou, but he couldn't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds, so he could only summon his subordinates to make suggestions for himself.

Zhao Wei, Huang Quan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban Li Yan, Li Hui and other resourceful people gathered together, and when they learned of their lord's confusion, they used their brains and began to think.

The benefits of fixing the government in Chang'an are naturally obvious, and Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, and Wu Ban from the Dongzhou faction strongly support it.

It will be easier for them to develop their power by fixing the government in Chang'an and the center of power in Guanzhong.

Moreover, it will be easier to attack Luoyang and Bingzhou, and everyone knows this.

But knowing it is one thing, and doing it is another.

Huang Quan, Li Yan, and Li Hui also knew the benefits of fixing the government in Chang'an, but in this way, the Yizhou faction would be far away from the center of power. In the long run, their power around Liu Zhang would weaken, which would not be conducive to The interests of the Yizhou Department.

If the government office is moved to Chengdu, the Yizhou department will have a local advantage, and it will occupy a favorable position in the fight for power within the team, but the shortcomings are also obvious.

Huang Quan, Li Yan, and Li Hui, as talented officials in the Yizhou faction, also had ambitions in their hearts, and they also saw that Liu Zhang did not want to move the administration.

Politics is nothing but transactions.

Huang Quan, Li Yan, and Li Hui understood Liu Zhang's thoughts, and Liu Zhang also understood the Yizhou faction's thoughts. After the two parties discussed, Liu Zhang used two official positions in the prefectural pastoral office and two prefects in exchange for the Yizhou faction's consent. Do not move the government office.

Liu Yan ruled Yizhou, Yizhou Hanzhong County, Ba County, Guanghan County, Shu County, Shu County belonged to the country, Jian was the county, Jian was the country, Zang Cang County, Yizhou County, Yongchang County ten counties in the country, Shu County belonged to the country and Jianwei is a country with a narrow territory and few people. The remaining eight counties, Guanghan County has no prefect, and Hanzhong County was in the hands of Zhang Lu before. The prefect of the county is from the Yizhou department, and the prefects of the other three counties are officials from the Dongzhou department.

The Yizhou faction officials have always been dissatisfied with Liu Yan's suppression of the Yizhou faction, but with the support of the Dongzhou faction, the Yizhou faction has no choice.

The prefect of Hanzhong must be in his own hands, and Liu Zhang will definitely not let him go.

After much deliberation, he decided to hand over Hanyang County and Beidi County in Liangzhou to the Yizhou Department.Then, Huang Quan and Li Yan were recruited to enter the state pastoral mansion, where they served as scribes and officials.

Huang Quan was the chief recorder of events, while Li Yan was the chief recorder of events.

The positions are not high, but they are two very important positions, because in these two positions, you can contact Liu Zhang every day and understand the internal secrets of the group, which is the core of the team.

Compared with Chang Shi, Bie Jia, Joining the Army, and Master Conspirator, the status is lower, but it is much stronger than the local prefect.

Huang Quan, Li Yan, and Li Hui are three people. Li Hui is younger, and he will enter the army, while Huang Quan and Li Yan will enter the power center. The state department fought for the positions of two prefects and prefects.

After staying in the State Shepherd's Mansion for a while, they left.

The three gathered the main officials of the Yizhou Department at Li Yan's home, told them Liu Zhang's thoughts, and discussed how to allocate the positions of the two prefects.

Finally, after two hours of deliberation, the prefect of Hanyang County and the prefect of Beidi County were finally assigned.

The officials of the Dongzhou faction, of course, want to return to Guanzhong with Liu Zhang, but if the Dongzhou faction is gone, then the military power of the [-] soldiers in Yizhou will all fall into the hands of the officials of the Yizhou faction, which is very dangerous of.

Liu Zhang decided to reorganize the [-] troops in Yizhou, and select the elite troops and left behind troops. Among them, [-] elite troops were stationed in Baidi City, guarding the Yangtze River, preventing Liu Biao from attacking along the river, and attacking Yizhou. Wan transferred to Guanzhong.

Moreover, he also left generals from the Dongzhou faction and the Guanzhong faction stationed in Yizhou. In this way, there are still [-] soldiers in Yizhou and [-] in Hanzhong.

After switching defenses with each other, the strength of Liu Zhang's troops reached 21.

Liu Zhang stayed in Chengdu for a total of four months. It was not until August 194 that he led his army northward and returned to Guanzhong.

At the same time, a large amount of food, grass, equipment and other military supplies were also taken away.

He went to Hanzhong in early March and returned to Chang'an in mid-August.

Liu Zhang led the army into Chang'an City, then disbanded the army, and led a group of officials back to Chang'an Taishou Mansion.

"As soon as the task is completed, two thousand tiger-powered light cavalry will be rewarded. It is detected that there are light cavalry under the host's command, and the transformation is successful during the automatic transformation."

Unknowingly, the two thousand Han cavalry under Liu Zhang's command were strengthened by the system and transformed into big Han Huwei Qingqi, and their combat effectiveness was increased by at least 70%.

It has been more than five months since Liu Zhang left Chang'an, and there is a backlog of matters in Guanzhong, some of which must be handled by Liu Zhang himself.

After he dealt with these matters, he held a banquet in the prefect's mansion to invite the officials under his command to get acquainted with each other.

Later, he submitted an application to the imperial court. Li Jue and Guo Si saw that Liu Zhang had obtained Yizhou, so he made a favor and appointed him as the former general Yizhou Mu.
