The sun shines brightly on the top of Meiyang City, as if the city is covered with a layer of golden coat.

The "Han" flag is hung on the city gate tower. It represents Anding County, which has been occupied by Yang Qiu for more than ten years, and has returned to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.

The city gate was wide open. Xu Huang, Xu Shu, Ju Su, Min Chun, Yang Qiu and others were listed on both sides of the city gate to welcome Zhang Xiu.

As a surrendered general, Yang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although Zhang Xiu's reputation as a virtuous and humble man is so famous all over the world, he is still worried.

Xu Shu was a man with a spirit. Seeing Yang Qiu’s uneasy, he couldn’t help but smile and comfort him: “Don’t worry, General. My Grand Sima is a man with a kind heart, and he will definitely treat the general well.”

Yang Qiu was not much relieved when he heard this, but he also bowed to Xu Shu with gratitude and said, "Thank you, General Xu, for your reassurance."

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves soared into the sky. Everyone felt a move in their hearts and looked up to the west. They saw dozens of cavalry leading by, and behind them were large groups of cavalry.

The flags of the character "Zhang" dance with the horse, with an extremely powerful and powerful style. Soon after, Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei rode their horses to the city and turned over and dismounted.

"Ming Gong!" Everyone led by Xu Huang bowed to Zhang Xiu and said.

"Thank you all." Zhang Xiu laughed and said with both hands. Then he turned around and looked around and asked, "Who is Yang Qiu, General Yang."

"The last one is exactly." Yang Qiu immediately raised his head, stepped forward, and clasped his fists.

Dian Wei immediately pressed the hilt of the sword with his left hand and stared at him to prevent accidents. Yang Qiu was stared at by Dian Wei, and his body suddenly felt cold and his hair stood up, as if he had encountered a bear and tiger.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The Grand Sima has a Dianjun under his tent, which makes a pair of halberds eighty pounds. It is indeed well-known."

Yang Qiu has no rebellion and is determined to assassinate now, and even if he is sure, he will not dare to move.

"Okay, he is indeed a great man. He is a general in Liangzhou. If the imperial court has a general, why worry about not being able to pacify Ma Teng, Han Sui?"

Zhang Xiu looked up and down Yang Qiu and said with a smile.

After saying something, Yang Qiu's fear, worry, and nervousness were swept away, as if he had given a sip of warm spring water, and his whole body became warm.

Yang Qiu clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Xiu.

After saying a word, Zhang Xiu entered Meiyang City with everyone. Now the city has been completely controlled by Xu Huang and Xu Shu's soldiers, so it is very safe to enter the city.

After arriving at the county magistrate's office, everyone sat down according to their closeness. The counselor Ju Su immediately took out the things he had prepared long ago and placed them in front of Zhang Xiu's desk, saying, "Ming Gong. This is the population, official, military list, and county magistrate's seal in Anding County."

Zhang Xiu nodded to Ju Su first, and gestured to him to go down. Then he lowered his head and tinkered for a while, and looked at it casually.

This seal was carved by Yang Qiu himself and was not issued by the imperial court.

The population of Anding County is rumored to be about 100,000.

There were seven or eight thousand soldiers, and Zhang Xiu did not read the list of officials.

Zhang Xiu had already thought about it, so he picked up the seal and greeted Yang Qiu: "General Yang has been in peace for a long time, and his prestige is the best county. I am now temporarily serving the court and appointing the general as the county magistrate of Anding County. When I send envoys to the court, I can formally enthrone the general."

Yang Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. He could not have expected that the position of the county magistrate would fall on him. But he was also a clever person, so he immediately bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely defend the city for the court."

"I believe in the general." Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile.

Zhang Xiu's generals didn't have much feeling, but many of the advisers frowned.

This is inappropriate.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiu asked Yang Qiu to arrange a banquet, singing and dancing. After everyone had a happy banquet, it was already late at night. Yang Qiu also tried to offer beauty, but Zhang Xiu, who had always refused, refused.

One reason is that he has too many beautiful concubines and can hardly remember his name.

Second, I have a higher vision, and I don’t have any beauty at all, so I don’t like it anymore. I guess Anding County is so poor and has a small population, so I can’t raise any beauties.

Three things still have something to do with him.

That night, Zhang Xiu and his followers stayed in the county magistrate's mansion. After Zhang Xiu refused Yang Qiu's kindness, he came to the bedroom.

After washing up, Zhang Xiu did not rush to go to bed and stayed in the outer room. After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiu heard the personal soldiers outside the door come in and report: "Mr. Ming, Ju Su, and Min Chun, two gentlemen, ask for a meeting."

"Please come in." Zhang Xiu was not surprised at all and raised his hand and said.

Not long after, Min Chun and Ju Su walked in. When they saw Zhang Xiu's appearance, they knew that Zhang Xiu had already known their purpose. The two looked at each other and thought that Zhang Xiu was really "Mingxiu".

After the two of them saluted, they sat down on their left and right.

"Are you two gentlemen who are the county magistrates for Yang Qiu?" Sure enough, Zhang Xiu was straightforward as soon as he opened his mouth.

"That's right." The two looked at each other, Ju Su bowed and said to Zhang Xiu, "Yang Qiu's newly surrendered, and his heart was unmeasurable. We think it is inappropriate to appoint him as the county magistrate. If you fight Ma Teng and Han Sui in the future, Yang Qiu [repeated] will be very unfavorable to the situation."

Zhang Xiu nodded and then sighed, "I know this too. But Anding County is a border area. There are threats from Diyi outside and the mountain people in the inner area are Biaobing. Yang Qiu is from this county and has the prestige to be a county magistrate. If the court sends another county magistrate over here, Anding County will probably be in chaos."

Along the way, Zhang Xiu understood that only Yang Qiu, the governor of Anding County, could do the job.

But Zhang Xiu was also suspicious of Yang Qiu. Zhang Xiu could trust Xu Huang and Taishi Ci, and he entrusted important tasks when he met because he knew history and knew that the two were loyal and righteous.

Yang Qiu is an old thief. Although he joined Cao Wei in history, it was not because of loyalty and righteousness, but because of the situation.

Zhang Xiu cannot trust Yang Qiu.

"I have a plan to protect Yang Qiu from betraying the court." Ju Su came for this and couldn't help but bow his hands calmly.

"Oh, sir, come on." Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, which helped a lot.

"Ming Gong can ask Yang Qiu to move his clan and his children to live in Luoyang. In this way, Yang Qiu will not betray him." Ju Xiu's eyes were shining brightly and he spoke in a straightforward manner.

Zhang Xiu frowned when he heard this, and he hesitated: "If this could be done, Yang Qiu would be a grasshopper holding a rope and would not fly away. But I have always been using people without doubt, and I don't need to doubt people. Doing this will damage my reputation."

Ju Su nodded after hearing this, and was still calm, obviously thinking about it. He said, "Don't worry, I can go and persuade Yang Qiu. Let him move his family to Luoyang."

Zhang Xiu did not doubt Ju Shu's ability, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let his clan move to Chang'an to live."

Luoyang will soon become in chaos, and it will be very troublesome to migrate.

"No." Ju Su was a little surprised, but he didn't care about this matter. After Ju Su finished speaking, Min Chun bowed and said, "Ming Gong. I want to stay in Anding County in the town."

"Why?" Zhang Xiu said in a slight moment. This was beyond his expectations. Min Chun had been a separate man from Han Fu before, and in history he was killed in resisting Yuan Shao.

Anyway, the five people from Hebei are all loyal ministers. During this period of time, Zhang Xiu also felt that these five people were all very talented people. It was just Ju Su and Tian Feng were even better.

He lacks decent and capable civil servants here. He will use the five people in Hebei and the civil servants under his current command. After replacing Dong Zhuo, he will control the inside and outside the court.

Min Chun asked himself to stay in Zhen'an Ding...

"Ming Gong." Min Chun first bowed to Zhang Xiu, and then said: "Although Yang Qiu can keep the scene, he is a military general after all. His subordinates stayed in Anding County, and could further win the hearts of the people for the court. In addition, his subordinates wanted to plot against Beidi County."

Zhang Xiu looked at Min Chun's expression and understood a little.

The so-called Beidi County is next door to Anding County. This is the actual territory. But now Beidi County has been occupied by Di Yi for decades.

The imperial court did not have the ability to recover. The current Beidi County is a residence, and the county magistrates and official organizations are in Zuofengyi County.

This is the same as in Xuantu County. Xuantu County has been harassed by Goguryeo and has been constantly moving inward. Now there are only a few bare county towns left.

There is a tradition in the Han Dynasty that counties cannot perish. Even if they do not have actual territory, there must be this northern county.

That's how it happens now.

Min Chun wanted to rely on the current troops of Anding County to recover Beidi County. His courage was commendable, but it was actually very difficult. The ghosts and monsters on the grassland were difficult to deal with.

But Zhang Xiu thought about it for a moment and said that Min Chun was a loyal minister, and the other hand, he was also a capable person.

He exhaled and said sincerely to Min Chun: "Okay, since sir is willing to stay in Anding County and share the worries of the court, how can I not be allowed? When I return to the court, I will report to Mr. As the governor of Liangzhou and stationed in Anding County."

Ma Teng and Han Sui will be pacified sooner or later, and a governor will be set up in the future. Since that is the case, let Min Chun be the governor of Liangzhou.

"Thank you, Mr. Ming." Min Chun was so excited that he said gratefully. This was because he wanted to get peaches, but he got a big watermelon, which was unexpected.

Ju Su also smiled slightly. They are all talented and of course a political group. They are not valued under Han Fu's command, but they are valued under Zhang Xiu's command.

It's really a life experience, a life experience.

After saying a few words, Zhang Xiu's heart also calmed down and went to the inner room to rest. After leaving Zhang Xiu's bedroom, Ju Su said goodbye to Min Chun. He rode a horse and brought a team of soldiers to Yang Qiu's mansion.

Of course Yang Qiu didn't sleep, but had already washed up and was about to go to bed. Hearing that Ju Su was coming, he hurried out to greet him in person.

"Why did Mr. Ju come to visit late at night?" Yang Qiu bowed to Ju Su who was standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, and was a little nervous.

It's so late, Ju Su is a bit weird.

Ju Su smiled slightly and did not return the favor. He just looked at Yang Qiu with his eyes open, which made Yang Qiu furious. Ju Su bowed and said, "Does General Yang know that his death is coming?"

In a word, Yang Qiu said that it was a cool feeling in his heart, and the coldness broke through his forehead.
