Chapter 6684 North and South
In fact, Liu Bei was relatively inclined towards Yu Jin. After all, apart from being introverted and reserved, Yu Jin was capable and experienced, and more importantly, he was really stable.

"Then we can only let Wen Ze take charge of the Ganges, with Zilong and Ziyi as deputies. There shouldn't be any problem." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Wen Ze should be able to handle these things."

"It's not a big problem. I'll just be in charge temporarily for a while." Chen Xi said after thinking for a while. He thought that no matter how bad the situation in the Ganges River was, it would not collapse quickly after Yu Jin took over. Moreover, relatively speaking, Yu Jin taking over Guan Yu's job could be regarded as an act of improving his qualifications.

After all, whether or not one has ever served as the commander of an army group or a front is a hurdle to whether a general has sufficient qualifications. Someone like Yu Jin, from a certain perspective, is a very suitable case.

After this temporary replacement, Yu Jin has almost exhausted all his qualifications. It will be much easier for him to take over or be promoted in the future. He has enough merits and qualifications, as well as the experience of temporary replacement, which can be said to have smoothed out all the bumps in the road ahead.

"What's the current situation in Jiangdong?" Seeing that Chen Xi had the same idea as him, Liu Bei stopped dwelling on the problems in the Ganges and turned to ask about Jiangdong, where the situation was the most troublesome.

"That's just the way it is. What he said before was not false. Gongjin seems to be very confident, but I don't think so." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "And from a certain perspective, the time is indeed too tight. Cai Degui has not yet trained the navy, and he is facing the current situation. Sigh..."

Even though Chen Xi didn't know much about the navy, he at least knew that the navy could not be trained in one or two years. Even if Cai Mao had sufficient experience in this area, it was impossible for him to rebuild the navy in less than two years. It was simply unrealistic.

"Originally, this is the best time for Boyan and Ziming to take over, but to be honest, I really don't dare to let them take over at this point." Chen Xi sighed and said, at this point in time when Zhou Yu fell, it was indeed an opportunity for Lu Xun and Lu Meng. As long as either of them could turn the tide, their qualifications and experience would be nonsense. It would not be a problem for them to directly take over Zhou Yu's position in the future.

But in this situation, to be honest, Chen Xi really didn't dare to let the two do this, because he was afraid that if they were not careful, something big would go wrong and everyone would be doomed.

The biggest reason why neither Lu Xun or Lu Meng was directly designated to succeed Zhou Yu earlier was that neither of them was qualified for this position regardless of their merits and qualifications.

Even though Zhou Yu's position as the Governor-General of the Four Seas had lost some value under the previous circumstances, it was still comparable to Guan Yu's position. In other words, to be in Zhou Yu's position, your merits and qualifications in the navy must be at least at the level of Yu Jin to be convincing.

As for asking Chen Xi to forcibly designate such a thing, today you can designate Lu Xun, who you think is gifted and capable, then future generations can continue your operation today and designate your son who has mental problems. Do you understand? This is not a question of designating or not designating, this is a real rule.

To be honest, allowing Lu Meng to compete was to demonstrate fairness, to prove that he was not appointed by the emperor, and to make the rules real enough. After all, at this point, all actions could be used as a reference for future generations in history books. This is how the saying "the originator of the calamities will have no descendants" came about.

This is also the reason why Lu Xun started as a captain after arriving in Jiangdong, because his qualifications and merits were only enough for this level. The captain of Jiangdong is actually equivalent to the army corps commander. After all, a castrated seventh-generation ship with some small boats is almost the size of half to a corps.

At this level, neither Lu Xun nor Lu Meng would be considered as parachuted. After all, Lu Meng was a young officer who had made achievements on the battlefield of the empire, and Lu Xun also had some achievements in Central Asia. In addition, he was Chen Xi's apprentice, so being a little out of line would not cause any sensory impact.

To some extent, after two years in the navy, the two have grown a lot. However, this level of growth is still a long way from them leading the navy to defeat Moncombu. Now they can at most be close to Gan Ning in ability.

Look carefully, his ability is close to Gan Ning, and he is still developing very fast. After two official battles, he may surpass Gan Ning. But is this level enough to challenge Meng Kangbu? No, it is not. As long as you are not Gan Ning himself, the naval combat ability of Gan Ning's level is only enough to challenge the captains under Meng Kangbu. If you dare to challenge Meng Kangbu, you will die on the spot.

Therefore, regarding the turmoil in Jiangdong this time, Chen Xi did not let Mi Zhu, who was going to Jiangdong, give any instructions to Lu Xun, because Chen Xi knew very well that Lu Xun could not reverse the situation here at the moment.

"It seems that Boyan's development is still very difficult." Liu Bei said with a sigh. Lu Xun and Lu Yu were both grown up under his care. Lu Xun was more outstanding in ability, while Lu Yu was more outstanding in dealing with people. But no matter what, both of them were outstanding people. But now Lu Xun was trapped in Jiangdong and Lu Yu was trapped in Jingzhou. It seemed that their development was not very smooth.

"This kind of difficulty is inevitable." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Things are different now. In the past, when the various rules were not perfect, promotion was very casual. We could do whatever we wanted. As long as we had the ability, we would be promoted. But now, some things can't be done."

After the decisive battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, there has been basically no promotion. Even Huang Zhong wanted to be hired as a legion commander in exchange for Yuan Shao's head. Merit and seniority are the current mainstream. And there is really no blocking of people. The rules are clearly stated and everyone is convinced.

"Zijia has been stuck in the position of Jingzhou Beijia in Jingzhou. According to his ability, he must have been a governor of a place in the past." Liu Bei said with a serious expression. He actually wanted to promote Lu Yu. After all, he was the son of his teacher and was very capable.

"Maybe he has to go to Jiaozhou before he can be promoted to governor." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Jingzhou Governor Liao Li cannot be moved. He will only die in office. Although he has done a lot and the people of Jingzhou are very satisfied, he can't get over it. Or to put it bluntly, he doesn't want to get over it. This makes it impossible for him to move in Jingzhou."

"I know this too. Liao Li might have been overrated in the past. But now, after going there twice, I can see that he is indeed a character. In the past, he might have been more arrogant, but now he is down-to-earth." Liu Bei nodded. Jingzhou was well governed by Liao Li. He put all his thoughts on it, so Jingzhou naturally prospered.

"The governor of Youzhou may have to retire in a few years. We'll talk about it then. These are not things that can be considered now. Even if we want to push Zijia away, we have to let him accumulate achievements to the top three." Chen Xi sighed and said, he didn't mind using some tricks to get someone he liked to take office, but you must at least be able to take the job, do the job well, and convince the local people.

If one doesn't do an airborne operation well, both the place and the person in office will be blown up. The current situation is completely different from that in later generations. In later generations, you might disgust a place and then just move to another place and run away. But these days, killing officials is a real thing, and it is really a welcome thing for righteous men to kill corrupt officials.

Moreover, compared with the management capabilities of later generations, these days, after a righteous man becomes a bad official, he can become a hero again when he moves to another place. Moreover, after moving to another place, as long as the bureaucrats in the new place have no problems themselves, they will turn a blind eye to such things. Anyway, it is not under my jurisdiction and it is none of my business. The one who died is a scourge, not me, so I am just happy.

In addition, tiles such as the one depicting seven daughters avenging their father also prove that such incidents of killing officials for revenge did not only occur in local governments, but also happened in places like Chang'an.

If such a big thing were to happen in Beijing now, it would shock the whole world.

In short, it is better to follow the rules when there are rules. Anyway, you can get promoted based on your ability, and there is no need to use backdoors. In Jingzhou, Liao Li also valued Lu Yu very much. Of course, Lu Yu now knows that his immediate superior is actually a big boss similar to those people in Chang'an, and he is just atonement. Lu Yu completely felt the malice of Jia Xu and Li You.

These two people must know Liao Li's situation, but they want to bring him and Jia Mu to work here. Lu Yu is really convinced by these two troubles. They can learn something, but it seems hopeless to advance. They are both top talents, one has been working in this position for more than ten years, and the other has just come here to learn. Lu Yu is also convinced. He needs to learn for at least ten years before he can take over Liao Li's job stably without any major problems.

"In fact, we can move the Governor of Yangzhou." Liu Bei suddenly suggested. Chen Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard that. He hadn't heard what Zhang Song was doing over there. Why would he move the Governor of Yangzhou?

Different from the Inspectors of the same period in the Han Dynasty, the current Inspectors of the Han Dynasty are the result of Chen Xi further strengthening the prefecture and county system for the convenience of management, giving the Inspectors more power, so that the current Inspectors of the Han Dynasty are all genuine two thousand stone officials and are truly high-ranking officials. Generally speaking, there will not be any major replacements.

"Ziqiao has done a good job in Yangzhou, and Ji Yu has been restraining his presence. I don't think it is necessary to do so. I have carefully examined Ziqiao's achievements in Yangzhou. Although he is not the best among the more than ten governors, he has done a good job. More importantly, there are rare mistakes. So promoting Ziqiao to Chang'an, on the one hand, is to supplement the manpower, and on the other hand, it also makes Ji Yu feel at ease." Liu Bei spoke slowly. Of course, this can also be regarded as moving position, freeing up a governor position to arrange staff.

Zhang Song has indeed done a good job in Yangzhou in recent years. Water conservancy facilities have been promoted, land reclamation is also ongoing, and the integration of villages and towns has been very good. Although there were templates for these before, the fact that Zhang Song was able to advance them steadily without any mistakes is enough to show his ability.

Of course, this is nothing among this group of top ministers. The real reason is actually the last sentence Liu Bei said. Liu Zhang has been a little cautious in recent years, and Liu Bei felt it necessary to give Liu Zhang a reassurance.

As for who has the greatest and the least achievements among the fifteen governors of the Han Dynasty, Shi Xie, as the governor of Jiaozhou, is undoubtedly the most accomplished. There is no way to say. Many things are only produced in Jiaozhou and sold all over the country. The entire population of Jiaozhou has basically been put into workshops by Shi Xie, and the rest have been stuffed into large farms to use agricultural machinery to grow crops.

As a result, Jiaozhou is now the only province that has achieved an outrageous unemployment rate of 0. In the words of Shi Xie, he now even wants to use monkeys, and even steals people from remote areas of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou from time to time. Every time he transports supplies by sea, he will go to the port cities and shout a few times to trick others into going to Jiaozhou.

Of course, this is in terms of growth rate. In terms of industry, Yanzhou Governor Yi Ji is second to none, there is nothing much to say. Yanzhou, the heartland of the Central Plains, is truly unrivaled in terms of agricultural products. When Si Niang has nothing to do, she teleports to Yanzhou to buy some food. She always brings back new things, which is enough to show how amazing this place is.

As for the last ranked one, the Zangzhou Governor Zhang Ji, there is nothing much to say. He will most likely be the last for a long time. On the contrary, the Xinzhou Governor Sima Lang, although not ranked well, has basically been ranked in the middle position without any ups and downs.

"Is that so? Then we can take a look at it during the review at the end of the year. It will be a good opportunity to add some new people to the Government Council, and it can be regarded as completing the path from a provincial governor to the Government Council." Chen Xi nodded and said.

There has never been a clear definition of where one should go after serving as a governor. If Zhang Song enters the government, it can be regarded as a perfect way for advancement.

"Then there's Cao Mengde." Liu Bei exhaled and said, "Zheng Ke returned to Chang'an some time ago and told me some information about Cao Mengde's situation. I can't be sure of the overall situation, so I think I should ask you."

Chen Xi nodded when he heard this, and signaled Liu Bei to just ask directly if there was anything curious.

"The overall situation in Kandahar at the moment is that Ardashir is attacking, the Han Dynasty is defending, and Barak has stabilized the front line, but some people in Kandahar are unsettled." Liu Bei said with a sigh. Chen Xi had a blank expression on his face. It is normal for people to be unsettled. So many middle and lower-level backbones have fled, and the dirty tricks that Cao Cao had done before have not been cleaned up. Now he is back and the war has started again. Who wouldn't be worried?
"The soldiers of Beigui have demonstrated considerable quality, which to a certain extent made up for the turmoil under Cao Mengde, but the current situation is more defensive than aggressive." Liu Bei said somewhat helplessly. In the stalemate, it was their own people who died. Liu Bei now hoped for a quick victory.

"Then what?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei in confusion and asked. If it was just news like this, it would be meaningless.

After all, Zheng Ke is an old soldier whose name Chen Xi knows, and he specially returned to Chang'an and pretended to meet Liu Bei by chance and told Liu Bei these words. So there must be a very important piece of news in it. After all, Zheng Ke is an old soldier who has fought from the war with Kushan to the present and has accumulated merits and entered the eleventh title. He still has a certain ability to analyze the situation. In particular, he must have discovered something.

"Cao Mengde has been controlled by someone." Liu Bei said with a serious expression.

"Fuck." Chen Xi was silent for a while, and he suddenly realized something. That is, in Liu Bei's cognition, Cao Cao was cured and left. Even though they told Liu Bei that Cao Cao was actually AI or something, Liu Bei had seen the situation when Cao Cao left, so he always thought that Chen Xi was joking, but in fact Cao Cao was indeed AI.

The problem is that this AI was created by Cao Cao's old lover Chen Gong. Given Chen Gong's understanding of Cao Cao, it would be a miracle if Liu Bei could find any loopholes. Only a royal doctor like Xun Yu could find some problems when he first came into contact with it.

But now the question is, how did Zheng Ke find out? If Zheng Ke could find out, what about Cao Cao's forces? Are they playing Werewolf together? They all knew that Cao Cao was fake, but they didn't dare to say it for various reasons, and then they were secretly investigating to find out who was controlling Cao Cao.

Just thinking about this situation, Chen Xi felt like his head was exploding. There was no point in fighting Ardashir in this situation. He was doomed.

"I confirmed it with Zheng Ke again and again. Zheng Ke even demonstrated the characteristics of Time Passing by in a Flash. This ability can make Zheng Ke aware of the existence of time and send the future to his past self. But the effective time of this talent is very limited. Even if Zheng Ke digs deep, it will only take a few minutes." Liu Bei explained with a serious expression.

No one knew how Zheng Ke trained the only time-related talent of the Han Dynasty. In fact, he didn't even know how he mastered the White Horse's finishing move. But this talent was very outrageous. It allowed Zheng Ke to transcend time to a certain extent, running from a few minutes in the future to the present, and then restarting it.

Of course, Zheng Ke didn't actually understand whether this was running from a few minutes in the future to the present, or whether the consciousness transcended time and sent messages from the future, or some other answer. Anyway, Zheng Ke used this talent to save his comrades who died in his consciousness.

All in all it is very useful. Although he doesn't know what this talent is, it is useful enough.

"In other words, Zheng Ke discovered Cao Sikong's problem based on time?" Chen Xi took a deep breath. It would be fine if it wasn't Werewolf.

"Yes, Zheng Ke said that at a certain moment he suddenly realized something was wrong, and then he compared some things and realized the abnormality. In order to verify this abnormality, he adopted certain means and attempted to launch an attack on Cao Sikong in the future." Liu Bei said with a complicated expression. Although it was a good thing to discover that Cao Sikong was being manipulated by someone, it was indeed outrageous to launch an attack directly.

"Oh, let me think about it." Chen Xi lowered his head and thought about Zheng Ke's situation. In fact, Chen Xi did not think there was anything wrong with Cao Cao being manipulated. Chen Gong had also explained in his previous letter that he had found allies. With the help of this group of allies, his behavior would never be exposed.

Of course, Chen Gong and his allies never thought that Cao Ang had already discovered his father's problem on the first day. It was just that Cao Ang thought that this was his father's solution to deal with the current situation and did not give it any deeper consideration.

After all, Cao Ang knew very well what kind of person his father was. To be honest, his own father was really an inhuman beast. It was only thanks to his extraordinary abilities that he had any incompetence. If he had not had any "success" to whitewash himself, and if he had not had achievements that would be admired by future generations, Cao Ang would have to stay with other third-rate trash and cannibalistic things.

Therefore, Cao Ang did not think much about the fact that his father had other ideas, but simply thought that it was a thing his father came up with to deal with the current situation.

But in fact, the more Chen Gong, Xun Yu and others used the advanced version of Cao Cao AI, the more Cao Ang realized that something was wrong. As for his father, it was okay to maintain that kind of high quality and high morals for a short time, but after such a long time, it was time for him to return to his previous state of having no bottom line and no humanity.

"First of all, there is no doubt that Cao Cao was being manipulated." Chen Xi thought about it and set the tone first. When this was said, Liu Bei was stunned, and then looked at Chen Xi in shock.

"Zichuan, isn't this a bit too much? Although I am not very satisfied with Cao Mengde, isn't it a bit too much to directly control the other party? If such a thing is exposed, it will cause a crisis of trust. Although there is no special movement from the Yuan family and the Sun family now, if this kind of thing is exposed, everyone will doubt us." Liu Bei said with a serious expression.

Liu Bei said that it was shameful for such behavior that had no bottom line, no morals, and was completely inhumane. But Chen Xi knew that Liu Bei did not say it too harshly. If someone else was here today, Liu Bei would have exploded.

Xu Chu on the side was watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending that he knew nothing. This was a big deal, a really big deal. Cao Cao was actually controlled by them.

"It's not controlled by us, and several people on Cao Sikong's side know about it." Chen Xi said unhappily, "Why would I do such a thing? If it were me, Cao Sikong would be lying in the medical school now, and Kong Ming would pass by every day and add some highly nutritious sterile ginseng and ganoderma lucidum or something like that."

Chen Xi didn't know what other people felt during that time, but Zhuge Liang was really happy. The uncontrollable upward slant of his mouth fully revealed Zhuge Liang's mood. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would go to the Medical College to ask someone to prepare sterile medicinal materials, and then add them to Cao Sikong's culture tank.

There were wolfberries, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and other things floating in Cao Cao's culture tank for a while. They were all added by Zhuge Liang using his own salary. Although they were expensive, it was fun!

Chen Gong angrily said to Zhuge Liang, "What do you think of Cao Cao?" Zhuge Liang said, "I'm adding high-nutrition herbs, it's none of your business. I'm saving Cao Cao, don't you understand?" Placebo is also a medicine. Look, I asked a professional to prescribe it for me!
It's the end of the month, those who have tickets please vote, the author is really going to be finished, miserable
