The two of them were anxious, but in front of everyone, they could only continue to swallow their anger.
"Zizhong."
Liu Wu, who was seated, looked at his brother-in-law, Mi Zhu.
"What do you have to say, my lord?" Mi Zhu asked hurriedly.”
"From today onwards, you will be in charge of the affairs of our army's grain and money.”
Liu Wu calmly ordered.
Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said,"I will do my best. Please rest assured, Lord."”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions changed.
According to their prior agreement, Liu Wu could not make a decision on this kind of personnel appointment and dismissal. He would first brush it off on the surface and announce it privately after the two brothers pleaded.
They didn't expect that Liu Wu would appoint Mi Zhu to be in charge of money and grain without their consent!
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he was about to jump up.
"Yi De, don't be rash!"
"Big brother is marrying into the Mi Clan to obtain the financial support of the Mi Clan. Now, our army needs the Mi Clan to provide all the food and money.”
Guan Yu said in a low voice.
"That's true."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and suppressed his anger.
"Zilong!"
Liu Wu looked at Zhao Yun.
"Yun Zai, what orders does the lord have?"
Zhao Yun stood up and bowed.
"Zizhong offered two thousand slaves, so these new soldiers will be under your command."”
Zhao Yun was shocked and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The lord did not give these two thousand precious recruits to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two sworn brothers, to command, but to him!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei frowned and stared at Liu Wu suspiciously.
This matter was related to military power. Liu Wu's appointment made the two of them suspicious of Liu Wu's motives. This time, they couldn't sit still.
"Lu Bu is relying on his Bing Province cavalry.”
"If we want to defeat Lu Bu and take back Xuzhou, we must first restrain his Bingzhou cavalry.”
"I've thought about it carefully. The only way is to use cavalry to subdue cavalry.”
"When you were under Gongsun Zan, you once led the White Horse Righteous Followers. I want you to train these two thousand people well and choose the best among them. You must train them into an elite cavalry that can fight against Lu Bu's cavalry!”
Liu Wu calmly gave his reason.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes were filled with suspicion and dissatisfaction, but they suddenly disappeared.
"It seems that these two thousand new recruits should indeed be led by Zilong.”
"Big Brother didn't expect that Zilong would train his white horse followers to deal with Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry.”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other in surprise.
On the side, Mi Huan nodded.
"Zhao Yun was originally borrowed from Gongsun Zan by Liu Bei. He is technically a guest general and has not been with Liu Bei for long. He is not Liu Bei's loyal confidant and can indeed be won over.”
"He used the name of training the white horse to rightfully assign these 2,000 new soldiers to Commander Zhao Yun, making Guan and Zhang unable to object.”
Mi Huan turned her head and looked at Liu Wu, her bright eyes filled with deep meaning.
Zhao Yun was touched and happily cupped her hands."Thank you for your trust, Lord. I will not let you down!”
"Ding, the host has placed Zhao Yun in an important position. Detected that Zhao Yun's loyalty has increased.”
A system notification sounded in his mind.
Liu Wu smiled. It seemed that the " courtesy " attribute was working.
"Brother, you asked Zilong to train the white horse, and I didn't object.”
"If we want to train cavalry, we need horses. The total number of warhorses in our army is only a hundred. How can we train a cavalry that can fight?”
Guan Yu stepped forward to pour cold water on the situation.
Zhao Yun came to his senses and said," My lord, General Yun Chang is right. Without enough warhorses, I can't cook without rice."”
"If we don't have horses, we'll just buy them."
Liu Wu smiled disapprovingly and looked at his brother-in-law, Mi Fang.
"My Xu Prefecture is adjacent to Liaodong by the sea, and Liaodong horses are famous for their excellent warhorses.”
"I heard that you have crossed the sea to Liaodong many times to do business, so you must be familiar with the sea route and Liaodong's customs. Then I'll trouble you to go to Liaodong and buy more good horses for Zilong's white horse.”
Liu Wu gave a solution.
Everyone was enlightened.
Guan Yu no longer had any reason to doubt him and could only sit down quietly.
Zhao Yun was delighted." Liaodong's healthy horses are indeed the best among horses. They are the best warhorses for rebuilding the White Horse Righteous Congregation. If we can buy them back, I will have nothing to worry about."”
"So, Zifang, can you do it?”
Liu Wu looked at Mi Fang expectantly.
"Since my lord has given the order, then I'll go to Liaodong by sea to buy back the Liaodong horses for my lord," Mi Fang said happily.”
"Good!"
Liu Wu slapped the table and praised," There's no time to lose. Quickly set off for Liaodong. I'll wait for your good news."”
"Yes!"
Mi Fang stood up and said goodbye.
Seeing her second brother leave, Mei Huan looked back at Liu Wu, the surprise in her eyes was not just a little bit.
"He used a few tricks to obtain the financial power, then divided the military power of Guanzhang, and even thought of a way to get my second brother to go to Liaodong to buy horses!”
"From the looks of it, Liu Bei is far inferior to him in terms of knowledge and skill.”
"Hmm, so my husband looks ordinary, but he's actually a dragon from the abyss.”
Mi Huan clicked her tongue in admiration and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Liu Wu.
At this moment.
Sun Qian handed over a thick stack of documents and said,""My lord, these are the administrative matters that have been accumulated in the cities that we currently control.”
"Cough cough!"
Guan Yu coughed dryly and said loudly," Elder brother, let Sun Gongyou handle these political affairs. Elder brother, you don't have to worry."”
The political affairs would be handled by Sun Qian and Jian Yong to prevent any flaws from appearing!
This was what Guan Yu had told Liu Wu.
"We still need the support of the people of these cities to counterattack Lu Bu and take back Xu Prefecture.”
"These political affairs are related to the vital interests of the people. As the Prefecture Overseer, I will personally deal with them.”
However, Liu Wu rejected Guan Yu's suggestion. He flipped open a document and wanted to handle it personally.
Guan Yu was shocked.
"My half-brother is mediocre and incompetent. He can't be civil or martial, so I didn't give him an official position.”
This was Liu Bei's evaluation of Liu Wu, and Guan Yu had kept it in mind.
What ability did Liu Wu have to deal with political affairs?
If he didn't handle it properly, wouldn't he make a fool of himself in public and let Sun Qian and the others see through his flaws?
Guan Yu frowned deeply, not knowing what to do.
"The affairs of the various cities are neither difficult nor easy. My husband has no experience in governing, yet he is so confident?”
Even Mi Huan's heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
However, Liu Wu acted as if there was no one else around. In less than an hour, the thick stack of official documents had been dealt with.
"Gongyou, if you don't have any objections, follow my instructions.”
Liu Wu threw down his brush and picked up the tea that Mi Huan poured for him.
Mi Huan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three insiders, couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Sun Qian flipped through them one by one. Looking at the instructions, his originally calm expression gradually turned into surprise.
"My lord's method of handling political affairs is much more brilliant than before…"
His eyes lit up as he clicked his tongue in wonder.
After a while, Sun Qian put down the document and cupped his hands in praise."My lord's judgment is so perceptive and accurate. It's fair but flexible.”
The worry in Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Huan's eyes instantly disappeared as they looked at Liu Wu in surprise.
"Didn't Big Brother say that his little brother is mediocre?”
"Why is Sun Qian so impressed by his way of handling political affairs?”
Guan Yu's mind was in turmoil and he couldn't help but feel confused.
