Although Liu Ba was only a follower of Sun Qian, judging from the two ultimate skills displayed in his character attributes, Liu Ba should be a famous historical figure on the same level as Sun Qian. Their positions in the Liu Bei Group also proved this point. ∈ ﹏
Judging from the attributes of his unique skills, Liu Ba was an expert in both internal and external affairs. He was a talent that Yang Rui urgently needed.
Liu Ba's status was shown as a follower, which was different from all the other NPCs that followed Yang Rui.
The others were either in a simple "follower status", such as Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo, or in an "administrative follower" status, such as Chen Lin, Han Dai, and Ju Shou.
Yang Rui thought about it carefully and felt that Liu Ba's follower status was similar to Cai Yan's personal follower status. However, he could not pinpoint the specific form.
Even though it was just a small change in the NPC's attributes, it was precisely because of Yang Rui's attention that Yang Rui would benefit from it once in the future. Of course, this was all in the future, but it was inseparable from Yang Rui's careful analysis of the NPC's attributes.
Liu Ba's attributes made Yang Rui's eyes light up. He did not expect that because of Liu Biao's perfunctory recommendation, he would end up benefiting himself. He believed that Liu Biao himself did not expect this either.
After successfully recruiting Liu Ba, Yang Rui was naturally satisfied. He used Sky City to gather six to seven hundred craftsmen and Liu Ba and returned to Qingzhou's administrative center, Linzi.
After that, Yang Rui quickly gathered Cheng Yu, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Sun Qian, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, Ju Shou, Wu Anguo, Guo Jia, Du Yang, and the others. They gathered in Linzi City to discuss the specific arrangements for the next month.
If Yang Rui wanted to participate in the Players' Territory Tournament and the Players' Interstellar Championship. Now, he had to make plans!
Moreover. At the same time, Yang Rui recommended Liu Ba to everyone. He also assigned the seven to eight hundred craftsmen to the places where he needed them.
As for the remaining NPCs that Yang Rui hadn't summoned, most of them had matters to attend to.
Cai Yan also played the role of enlightening Xiaohui's feelings. Diaochan was currently in the process of exchanging in reality. Zhang Man and Bo Jishuai's 200,000 Yellow Turban Soldiers were stationed and guarding Shrimp Barren Land. Bo Cai was currently in charge of the training in Penglai territory.
As for Xu You, Yang Rui's side, after some consideration, Yang Rui did not let him come to discuss matters..... Yang Rui felt that it was better to not include Xu into the core group.... Yang Rui would wait for another opportunity.
Take the newcomers, Liu Bei and Guan Yu for example. Although they were big shots, they were only the County Magistrates of the East County. Naturally, they did not have the qualifications to participate. Yang Rui would not let them have the opportunity to participate.
Since Liu Ba was a new talent, Yang Rui discussed with everyone and adjusted their current affairs. He let Liu Ba directly replace Cheng Yu and lead 200,000 soldiers with Wu Anguo to guard Fan County. They were also responsible for the affairs of the four counties in the East County.
Liu Ba himself was also recommended by Yang Rui to be appointed as the Governor of Donglai. Although it was only an official position in name, and he did not manage the various affairs of the territory, Liu Ba had also achieved a magnificent turnaround from a commoner to a governor of 2,000 Shi!
Chen Lin was arranged by Yang Rui to partner with Zhang Liao to lead 100,000 soldiers and temporarily guard Fan County. They were responsible for the affairs of the three counties in the north of the East County. At the same time, they would coordinate the affairs of Dongwu Yang County under Liu Bei and Liaocheng County under Guan Yu.
Due to the importance of geography and strategic location, Du Yang, Han Dai, and Ju Shou were still guarding Pingyuan County. They led a total of 300,000 soldiers to guard against Yuan Shao's forces in the north and support Han Fu's forces in Jizhou.
Sun Qian was still in charge of Linzi City in Qingzhou. He was responsible for coordinating the affairs of the counties in Qingzhou. 200,000 soldiers were left behind for him to freely dispatch. Together with the existing state soldiers and county soldiers in each county, they were naturally very strong.
The rest of the people followed Yang Rui to handle the affairs of Qingzhou, the East County, Mountain City, and Ledu City. This was to achieve rapid stability and development in each place.
This arrangement also established a preliminary framework for Yang Rui to participate in the two competitions in a month. At that time, he only needed to slightly change the people.
Of course, Yang Rui's manpower was still a shortcoming. Although it seemed that he had taken care of everything, Qingzhou and the East County were so large that it was impossible for him to fully take care of some specific affairs. He could only try his best to coordinate with the local officials in the system.
However, almost all of the people who participated in this competition were all kinds of craftsmen. It was better to just call them "talented craftsmen". Yang Rui had used all kinds of methods to get them, which was almost disguised as extortion. The feudal lords were naturally unwilling to give out the real talents in their hands.
These six to seven hundred craftsmen that Yang Rui had recruited were immediately sent to various places for production. Among them, carpenters were the ones that Yang Rui urgently needed the most at the moment. They were all sent to Solid River City and Heavenly Ocean City to participate in the construction of Bi 'an, Warships, and Tower Ships.
If they could build enough warships before the competition, it would naturally be a great help for Yang Rui to consolidate his territory. However, it was obviously impossible to achieve this. Even if Solid River City and Haitian City were working non-stop, and with the improvement of the craftsmen's proficiency, it would be very good if they could build one or two warships.
Speaking of talents, Yang Rui suddenly thought of Taishi Ci from Donglai County in Qingzhou. Ever since he participated in the plot, he had not visited Taishi Ci's old mother for some time. Before this, Yang Rui would visit her from time to time.
"Madam, has Taishi Ziyi returned home from Liaodong?"
This was not the first time Yang Rui had visited Taishi Ci's mother. The two sides were naturally acquainted. After meeting, Yang Rui carefully asked about her health before asking about Taishi Ci's situation.
"My son has returned. Recently, he was planning to cross the river and go to Qu 'a to seek refuge with Yangzhou Provincial Governor Liu You. However, he has not repaid Lord Prefecture Overseer's kindness and I reprimanded him. Thus, he knows that he has not repaid Lord Prefecture Overseer's kindness, so he did not dare to overhear …"
Taishi Ci's mother revealed a kind face and explained Taishi Ci's movements in detail to Yang Rui. What Yang Rui did not expect was that Taishi Ci had returned to Qingzhou from Liaodong. Moreover, Taishi Ci's mother actually knew of his identity.
"Taishi Ziyi has actually returned to Qingzhou. It was my oversight! However, Madam, how did you know of my identity? "Yang Rui's mind spun rapidly as he casually asked.
"Although Lord Prefecture Overseer did not reveal his identity, he once said that he was the City Lord of Mountain City. I only recently found out that Lord Prefecture Overseer, who allowed the citizens of Qingzhou to live in peace and contentment, was the City Lord of Mountain City. Thus, I knew of Lord Prefecture Overseer's identity.
Although I know of Lord Prefecture Overseer's identity, my son's identity is far from Lord Prefecture Overseer's. If not for this, I would have ordered my son to go to Linzi to find Lord Prefecture Overseer … "
After Yang Rui's inquiry, Taishi Ci's mother said a few words. The ins and outs of the matter were also clear at a glance. Yang Rui had indeed revealed that he was the City Lord of Mountain City. However, the reason why Taishi Ci did not go to find him seemed a bit far-fetched.
However, there was one thing that Yang Rui could see clearly. Even if Taishi Ci did not have the heart to stay in Qingzhou, his mother wanted him to know how to repay his kindness and do something for Yang Rui.
"… My son has also committed all sorts of outrages. I originally wanted him to submit to Lord Prefecture Overseer. However, my son was bewitched by a Taoist priest and said that his fate was in Gangdong. Thus, he had the idea of submitting to Yangzhou's Provincial Governor, Liu You. Speaking of which, I have made Lord Prefecture Overseer laugh …"
Yang Rui originally had some doubts. Following that, Taishi Ci's mother spoke of the real reason why Taishi Ci wanted to submit to Liu You in Qu 'a. Only then did Yang Rui understand the reason. If that was the case, there was still hope for Taishi Ci to stay.
While thinking about how to tie down Taishi Ci, Yang Rui was also chatting with his mother at the same time. No matter what the situation was, Taishi Ci's mother was undoubtedly an important weight. Of course, Yang Rui had to win over her position.
During the chat, Taishi Ci's mother was actually familiar with many of Yang Rui's deeds, such as the implementation of the farm system, the exchange of resources, and military subsidies. His mother could speak in detail with an expression of familiarity.
According to Taishi Ci's mother, Taishi Ci would go to the mountain ridge to catch some small beasts to cook at this time every day. He should be back in a short while. Therefore, Yang Rui waited in Taishi Ci's house.
During the process, Dragon Soul's boss also sent a message to invite Yang Rui to participate in a mission together. Yang Rui chatted with him for a while, but he did not accept the invitation.
Many of Yang Rui's missions were still in a shelved state, such as the Shrimp Tribe Hegemony, the Xiongnu Expedition, and so on. He did not have the time and energy to do them. The various matters in Qingzhou and the East County were also being carried out in full swing. Yang Rui naturally would not easily do any missions with Dragon Soul.
If Predator Sword invited him to complete the terracotta soldier mission, maybe Yang Rui would be tempted. After all, good things like enlistment tokens could be dropped in the mission dungeon. As for other missions, forget about it …
Time passed quickly. Yang Rui and Taishi Ci's mother did not wait for long before a tall and handsome young man strode into the small courtyard.
