Chapter 553

But at this time.

Su Li thought of one person.

"Perhaps I can recruit Ju Shou?"

He suddenly realized one thing.

He was now an Administrator.

Nominally, he belonged to the imperial court and needed an assistant official.

That is, the Commandery Assistant.

Originally, the position of Commandery Assistant was held by Bai Hao.

But with Bai Hao's ability, he was simply not qualified for the position of Commandery Assistant.

If possible.

He might be able to ask the imperial court for a powerful figure to serve as Commandery Assistant.

As for who it was.

Su Li already had an idea in his heart.

Write a petition, have someone bring some money, and through He Jin, operate it at the imperial court.

Yecheng, the massive Huang Jin Uprising was about to end.

Jizhou Inspector Wang Fen, with the help of Ju Shou, Xu You, Zhang He, Pan Feng, and others, slowly restored order in Jizhou and pacified the bandit troubles around Yecheng.

Inspector Wang Fen still had some personal ability, and Jizhou began to gradually restore prosperity.

At this time, the imperial court suddenly appointed Ju Shou as the Commandery Assistant of Changshan.

After Wang Fen learned of this news, he was stunned for a moment.

Ju Shou's ability was very strong; Wang Fen naturally knew this.

Now the imperial court seemed to want to transfer Ju Shou away from his side.

"Why would the imperial court do such a thing? Although Ju Shou has great talent, the mountains are high and the waters are far away; the imperial court shouldn't have noticed Ju Shou and specifically ordered him to serve as the Commandery Assistant of Changshan, right?"

Wang Fen felt that this matter was suspicious.

"My lord, you guessed correctly. It is precisely the newly appointed Administrator of Changshan, Su Li. It was he who petitioned the imperial court to transfer Ju Shou to Changshan Commandery to assist him in pacifying the Heishan Army."

Xu You, as a strategist, collected information very quickly.

But when he mentioned this matter, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain.

Now that both he and Ju Shou were strategists for Wang Fen, with Xu You's personality, he naturally wanted to squeeze Ju Shou out.

Now was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"Su Li? The one who requested Ju Shou's transfer is Su Li, an alien who became the Administrator of Changshan by flattering General-in-Chief He Jin, and he dares to come and poach my walls?"

Wang Fen said angrily.

He had actually thrown out an olive branch to Su Li both openly and secretly before.

Unfortunately, Su Li didn't take the bait at all and ignored him many times.

And now he was poaching his walls.

This made it difficult for Wang Fen not to be angry.

"My lord, please calm your anger. Presumably, that alien Su Li also knows that Ju Shou is a great talent, so he specifically requested Ju Shou's transfer."

"If my lord defies the imperial court's order, you will be considered disloyal. This Su Li has sinister intentions."

Xu You actually wanted to send Ju Shou away, which is why he specifically mentioned that if Wang Fen resisted the imperial court's order, it would be disloyal.

"Alas, it depends on Ju Shou's intention. I have treated him well; let's see if he is willing to continue working under me or serve as the Commandery Assistant of Changshan."

Wang Fen still recognized Ju Shou's talent very much; even if it was an order from the imperial court, he didn't want to let Ju Shou go.

Unless Ju Shou wanted to leave himself.

Otherwise, even if he risked the disapproval of the imperial court, he would keep Ju Shou.

In this period.

Although the Inspector had not yet officially evolved into a Provincial Governor with autonomy, he had already begun to control military and political power, becoming a warlord.

Compared to an Inspector and an Administrator, anyone with discerning eyes knew who had more prospects.

At least that's what Wang Fen thought.

He didn't think Ju Shou would be someone without vision.

If he really was.

Then Wang Fen also needed such a person without vision to stay by his side.

Anyway, there was still a chief strategist, Xu You.

In terms of talent, he felt that Xu You was not much lower than Ju Shou.

"Men, summon Mr. Ju."

Wang Fen ordered Ju Shou to be called.

Ju Shou had also learned of the imperial court's appointment of him as the Commandery Assistant of Changshan, and was also quite surprised.

However, he had already guessed that Su Li's shadow was behind it.

Understanding this reason, Ju Shou was also very helpless; Su Li had always had the intention to recruit him.

But as a subject, how could he easily switch to someone else?

But Su Li now used the imperial court's intention to transfer him away, which gave him a step down.

As for how to choose, Ju Shou was still considering it.

"Mr. Ju, presumably you have also received the news. The imperial court wants you to serve as the Commandery Assistant of Changshan, but you can still choose to continue serving as my strategist. I can petition the imperial court to keep you."

"How to choose is entirely up to you; I will never force you."

Wang Fen said to Ju Shou with confidence.

One is an Inspector, one is an Administrator.

Who to follow, there is no need to say.

Ju Shou's face showed no expression, but in reality, a battle between heaven and man was taking place in his heart.

Admittedly, following an Inspector seemed to have a bright future.

Unfortunately, it depends on the person.

In Ju Shou's view, Wang Fen did not have the talent to achieve great things.

Finally, Ju Shou cupped his hands to Wang Fen: "Since it is an imperial transfer order, Ju Shou dares not disobey."

"?!?"

Wang Fen's originally very confident smile suddenly disappeared.
