Chapter 614: Distributing titles to the generals, preparing for the great war【4】

PS: Good news, the ban has been lifted.

Prefect's Mansion, Political Discussion Hall.

The generals were gathered together.

Everyone had a smile on their face and was chatting with each other.

Everyone was happy because of Duan Yu's promotion.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Duan Yu had been promoted, and they, as his subordinates—as his die-hard subordinates—would certainly all benefit from it.

Liangzhou Shepherd.

Although it was Liangzhou.

It did not have as large a population as a single commandery in Jizhou, but it was still a province.

No matter how great the authority of a Prefect was, it was only within the territory of one commandery.

And there was still an Inspector pressing down from above.

There were not many Prefects as powerful as Duan Yu in the entire Great Han.

Now it was good.

The Inspector who had been pressing down from above was gone, and the entire military and political administration of Liangzhou had become Duan Yu's alone.

Geng Bi, who had just taken office not long ago.

Because of this, he had also lost a group of followers and hadn't gained any benefits at all; the Inspector was now immediately extremely embarrassed.

A Provincial Shepherd had the authority to directly appoint Prefects, establish an office, and manage all military and political affairs.

A truly powerful regional official.

In the hall, civil officials and military generals sat on the left and right.

Jia Xu, Gai Xun, Yang Fu, Yan Zhong, Jiang Xu, Liu Bai Tu, and others sat on the left side.

Gao Shun, Chen Qing'an, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xun, Lu Bu, Qu Yi, Li Jue, Guo Si, Wang Fang, Li Meng, Zhang Xiu, and others were seated on the right.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stood behind the main seat.

On the desks in front of everyone were wine, meat, and delicacies.

Duan Yu, dressed in a black robe, walked out from behind the screen in the main hall.

The moment they saw Duan Yu walk out from behind the screen, everyone in the hall stood up in an instant.

"We congratulate you, My Lord, and celebrate with you."

"We congratulate you, My Lord, and celebrate with you."

"We congratulate you, My Lord, and celebrate with you."

Duan Yu smiled and pressed his hands down: "Sit, everyone, sit."

After Duan Yu lifted his black robe behind him and sat down, the many civil and military officials in the hall then took their seats.

Everyone looked straight at Duan Yu, waiting for him to speak.

"Having received the Emperor's trust, I have been appointed to the position of Liangzhou Shepherd."

"But I, this official, have never dared to forget my original intention."

"Now the Central Plains are shaking, and I presume you have all heard about it."

Everyone nodded one after another.

Although the Way of Peace had just started its rebellion, its scale was unprecedented in the four hundred years of the Great Han.

And the series of appointments and measures that came out of Luoyang were even more unprecedented.

Lifting the partisan prohibitions.

Distributing the money and grain of the Western Garden.

Forming a new army to guard the eight passes of Luoyang.

Appointing Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo, and others to lead troops to suppress the rebellion.

Appointing He Jin as Grand General.

Appointing Duan Yu as Liangzhou Shepherd.

This series of measures and personnel appointments was enough to shake the entire Great Han.

"The Emperor has appointed me as Liangzhou Shepherd with the intention of stabilizing the situation at the border, so the burden on me and on you is now even heavier."

"The Central Plains are in turmoil; if the border is also unstable, then I will have failed the Emperor's heavy trust."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Therefore, today is not only to celebrate my promotion to Liangzhou Shepherd, but also the first administrative adjustment I have made since being promoted to Liangzhou Shepherd."

Duan Yu's gaze fell first on Gai Xun.

"Yungu."

Gai Xun quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed: "My Lord."

Duan Yu nodded and said, "I now officially appoint you as the Prefect of Jincheng Commandery."

"Zhang Xun." Duan Yu then looked at Zhang Liao's older brother, Zhang Xun.

"This subordinate is here!" Zhang Xun stood up and replied.

"You are the Commandant of Jincheng Commandery, in charge of the mobilization of troops in Jincheng."

"You two must work together to ensure that the policy of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, which was promoted this year, is fully implemented among the Qiang tribes around Jincheng Commandery."

"Also, after the Huangzhong Volunteer Beigong Boyu fled to Wuwei Commandery last year, he disappeared without a trace, but I estimate that he will definitely make a comeback; you must be well-prepared in Jincheng Commandery."

"This is the task for you two; do you understand?" Duan Yu said.

The two of them stepped out from their respective positions. ===== CHAPTER 616 =====
