Chapter 615

"This subordinate obeys the order!" Gai Xun replied excitedly, cupping his hands: "Thank you, My Lord, for the promotion; this subordinate will definitely not fail your heavy trust!"

"This subordinate accepts the order!" The expression on Zhang Xun's face was also exceptionally excited.

When he first followed Duan Yu, Zhang Xun was only a Military Officer in Yanmen Commandery.

But now, he had been promoted to a Commandery Commandant, second only to the Prefect, with a rank of one thousand *shi*.

This was already a leap across classes.

Everyone looked at Gai Xun and Zhang Xun with envious eyes.

Duan Yu nodded with a smile.

Why did these people follow him?

It was not because Duan Yu had some heaven-defying personality charm.

Following was also a disguised form of investment.

The reason these people followed him was because they were optimistic about his future development and could benefit together by following him.

This was the true original intention.

Conferring titles and bestowing money and grain.

These were all methods for a superior to consolidate the loyalty of their subordinates.

After Gai Xun and Yang Fu received their orders and sat down, Duan Yu then looked at Yang Fu and Chen Qing'an.

"Yishan, Qing'an."

With Gai Xun and Zhang Xun having gone before, both of them knew that they were currently being rewarded.

"Yishan, you are the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery; Qing'an, you are the Commandant of Hanyang Commandery; you two work together to lead Hanyang Commandery."

"Hanyang Commandery is still the seat of Liangzhou; I am handing this important position to you two, and I hope you two can continue to make progress."

Yang Fu took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply: "My Lord, this subordinate is of shallow talent and learning; how can I take on such a heavy responsibility? I fear I will fail your heavy trust..."

Duan Yu shook his head with a smile.

This reward of his was not a random one.

The Yang clan was a great clan in Hanyang Commandery, the number one noble family in Hanyang Commandery.

Based on the principle of Liangzhou affairs being governed by Liangzhou people.

Yang Fu being the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery could not be more appropriate.

And from the very beginning, when he first served as the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery, Yang Fu had stood on his side without hesitation, directly opposing Liang Hu.

Just for this point, Yang Fu deserved to be rewarded with this Hanyang Commandery Prefect position.

This was also a way for Duan Yu to show the noble families in the other commanderies of Liangzhou.

Those who follow him, Duan Yu, will definitely be rewarded.

As for why Chen Qing'an was appointed as the Commandant of Hanyang Commandery.

The reason was also very simple.

Chen Qing'an was a fellow villager he had brought from Jinyang and was also one of the people he trusted most.

Hanyang Commandery was the seat of Liangzhou and also his base camp.

Therefore, he had to leave the people he trusted most here to guard the base camp of Hanyang Commandery.

Although he had not yet sent troops to suppress the Way of Peace, according to Liu Hong's arrangements and the content of the imperial edict, he thought it would not be long.

Once he left Liangzhou, everything here would have to be managed by people he trusted.

"Yishan is being modest; I trust you, and I am also clear about your ability."

Duan Yu looked at Chen Qing'an: "Qing'an, regarding political affairs, you must learn more from Yishan and ask for his advice more often, do you know?"

"This subordinate understands," Chen Qing'an replied.

"Yishan, Qing'an was brought by me from Jinyang; he is young, so regarding some matters, you must teach him more; you understand what I mean, right?"

Yang Fu nodded quickly.

Duan Yu's words had a hidden meaning; Yang Fu was a smart person and naturally could understand.

"Yes, yes, yes, this subordinate understands."

Immediately after, Duan Yu also appointed Li Jue as the Commandant of Longxi Commandery.

Guo Si as the Commandant of Beidi Commandery.

Yan Zhong as the Liangzhou *Biejia*, and Jiang Xu as the Liangzhou *Congshi*.

Zhang Liao as the Colonel Who Protects the Qiang, assisted by Wang Fang and Li Meng.

Gao Shun, Lu Bu, Qu Yi, Zhang Xiu, and others were to recruit troops and begin training.

After the series of appointments, everyone had their new official positions and tasks.

After the banquet and the awarding of titles ended.

Duan Yu kept Jia Xu and Liu Bai Tu behind alone.

Subsequently, they held a small meeting in the study.

The intelligence sent from Jia Dong in Jizhou was mainly divided into three parts.

One of the most important parts was about the Way of Peace.

And there were two other parts.

One was about the Zhen clan of Zhongshan.

And the other was that Jia Dong had now mixed into the Way of Peace.

"The Zhen clan of Zhongshan."

Duan Yu, who was sitting in the study drinking hangover soup, tapped his fingers lightly on the desk and narrowed his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 617 =====
