    However, Liu Zhe has not yet come to Liyang, and still stays in Yecheng, Jizhou.  It would take more than half a day to drive from here to Yecheng, so Jia Xu advised Jiang Ji: "Mr. Zitong, why don't you rest one night and start again tomorrow? It's not safe to drive at night."

    "Thank you Jia Sima for your kindness. It would be better for Zitong to see the Taiwei as soon as possible." Jiang Ji refused Jia Xu's persuasion and insisted on traveling at night.

    When Jia Xu saw this, he couldn't help but feel funny. He knew the reason why Jiang Ji was on his way at night. Naturally, he was afraid that if he was late, more than a million troops from the other side would come over.

    Jiang Ji and his people drove all night, rushing towards Yecheng without stopping. By the time Jiang Ji arrived at Yecheng, it was already late at night.  Unable to enter the city, Jiang Ji could only take a rest outside the city and go to the city to see Liu Zhe early tomorrow morning.

    Xindu experienced Yuan Shao's attack and Liu Zhe's attack, especially Liu Zhe, who smashed it with a trebuchet. The city was seriously damaged and was in ruins.  Jizhou was brought under Liu Zhe's rule and became Liu Zhe's territory. Jizhou became the front line, and across the Yellow River was Cao Cao's Yanzhou.

    Therefore, the defense target of Jizhou became Cao Cao in Yanzhou. After Xun You became the governor of Jizhou, he suggested to Liu Zhe to move the seat of Jizhou from Xindu to Yecheng to maintain further pressure on Cao Cao.

    Yecheng¡¯s geographical location is better than that of Xindu. It is adjacent to the Zhang River in the north and Taihang in the west, forming a natural barrier. It has waterways such as Zhang River, Fu River, Huan River, and Yellow River tributaries, and the transportation is very convenient.

    Liu Zhe stayed in Yecheng not only to rest, but also to discuss the planning and development of Yecheng with Xun You.

    Liu Zhe has been in Yecheng for a few days. He has been busy with official matters these days. There are many things to do with the million-strong army. Even with Guo Jia Jia Xu's help, there are still many things that Liu Zhe needs to review and approve.  At the same time, Liu Zhe also wanted to review many affairs in Jizhou. In these days, the newly built Taishou Mansion in Yecheng was overcrowded, and many officials of Liu Zhe's staff, big and small, gathered here to work.

    Liu Zhe rarely came to Jizhou, so Xun You naturally seized this opportunity and took out many documents that required Liu Zhe's approval and asked Liu Zhe to read them and then stamp his approval.

    You must know that usually these official documents have to be sent to Youzhou to be stamped by Liu Zhe, which takes almost more than a month.  Now Liu Zhe is right in front of him. If Xun You doesn't seize this opportunity, he will be disrespectful to Xun You.

    This morning, not long after Liu Zhe got up, he saw Xun You appear.

    "Gongda, can you let me rest for a while?" Liu Zhe said with a bitter smile. Xun You came to see him almost every day these days.

    Xun You replied: "My lord, the sooner some things are completed, the better."

    Liu Zhe smiled bitterly and continued to shake his head. Xun You was too serious and responsible, but he couldn't blame Xun You for this. Jizhou is a big state, and changes in governance involve many aspects.  Many things required Liu Zhe's consent. Even if Liu Zhe asked Xun You to make his own decision, Xun You would not do so. He would not exceed his authority.

    Usually he has to sign an official document, even if it is a small matter, but if Liu Zhe is required to stamp and sign his approval, he will definitely send someone to Youzhou to ask Liu Zhe to stamp it. Now that Liu Zhe has come to Jizhou, he is playing into Xun You's plans.  .

    Although Xun You is Xun Yu's nephew, he is seven years older than Xun Yu and has served as an official in the imperial court.  After receiving a letter from Xun Yu, he abandoned his official position and came to join Liu Zhe.  Xun You was good at flexible tactics and military strategies to defeat the enemy. He took refuge with Liu Zhe and followed Liu Zhe on his expedition beyond the Great Wall, offering numerous suggestions.

    The former governor of Jizhou was Liu Yu. Liu Yu¡¯s way of governing Jizhou was different from Liu Zhe¡¯s.  In addition, Bohai County has been Yuan Shao's business territory for many years, and there are many families who are fond of Yuan Shao.  Liu Zhe sent Xun You as the governor of Jizhou, hoping to use Xun You's ability to stabilize Jizhou.

    "Then just wait." Liu Zhe said to Xun You.  His subordinates are so diligent, how can he, as the lord, back down.

    But when Liu Zhe finished washing up and walked out of the gate, Guo Jia came to report: "My lord, Cao Cao has sent a special envoy."

    Cao Cao¡¯s sending of people was already expected. Xun You also knew Liu Zhe¡¯s purpose of bringing more than one million people here this time, so he did not continue to pester Liu Zhe.

    Liu Zhe then took Guo Jiaxunyou and others to meet Jiang Ji at the Prefect's Mansion.

    "Mr. Zitong, we meet again." Liu Zhe couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was an old acquaintance.

    "Yes, Lieutenant." Jiang Ji saluted Liu Zhe and took the opportunity to glance at the people around him.

    Jiang Ji¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw Xun You sitting next to Liu Zhe.

    Xun You served as the governor of Jizhou. The first thing he did when he took office was to suggest that Liu Zhe agree to the relocation of the seat of Jizhou.  One of the reasons why Cao Cao moved the capital was because of Jizhou¡¯sThe administrative office was moved from Xindu to Yecheng, which brought great pressure.

    For this alone, Xun You deserves the attention of Cao Cao's men.  And judging from Liu Zhe's appearance, he seems to plan to let Xun You stay in Jizhou for a long time. Xun You is one of the people Cao Cao will pay attention to in the future.

    Liu Zhe asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Zitong here to urge me to go to Xudu this time? General Cao has troubled me about this matter. I will finish my work here as soon as possible and will leave for Xudu soon."

    When Jiang Ji heard this, he immediately despised him and thought to himself: It doesn't matter whether you go or not. It's best to take people back to Youzhou now.

    Of course, this is just Jiang Ji¡¯s unilateral idea.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
