The Youzhou General Administration is in charge of the 32 states in northeastern Shandong, but in fact it is not as good as the Youzhou General Administration when the Yan Rong was not deposed half a year ago. At that time, Youzhou Prefecture was only a central administration, but it had already governed the thirteen states in Hebei. Almost all the territory east of the Taihang Mountains north of the Yellow River was assigned to Youzhou Prefecture. Although there is also a Bingzhou General Administration on it, it is equivalent to a King of Hebei. "≠,w▼ww.23wＥx.co≮m

After the failure of the Eastern Expedition, Yan Rong's Youzhou Prefecture was deposed several states. This time, the Youzhou Grand General Administration was established. In addition to the twenty-one Jimizhou of Sanfan, there were also eleven states originally under the Bingzhou General Administration. These eleven states, Zhongwu and Guizhou were newly established before, and were not within the thirteen states of the original Youzhou Prefecture. In this way, only nine states of the original Youzhou General Administration were left behind and four states were deposed. Now these eleven states are divided into eight general administrations, You, Gui, Wu, Tan, Xuan, Ping, Ying, and Yi. Among them, Youzhou Prefecture governs the four states of You, Ying, Ding, and Heng, and the other seven general administrations govern only one state.

Now Youzhou Prefecture has been promoted to one level and become a general administration, but in fact it has become a general administration administration with seven lower administrations and four southern prefectures in Yanshan to add twenty-one prisons to Mizhou.

It is not realistic for Yi Feng to immediately control such a huge thirty-two states.

Although the twenty-one states of Sanfan were assigned to the Youzhou General Administration, everyone actually knew that these Hu people were nominal at most, and the designated prefectures and counties were at most detained, and it was impossible to truly control them. Even if Yi Feng had a close relationship with Sanfan, it was impossible to truly interfere in their internal affairs. Sanfan was not so much a subordinate, but rather an ally.

Even if Sanfan is eliminated, the remaining seven general administrations and eleven states are not so easy to control.

Yan Rong was in charge of Youzhou Prefecture for eight years. He had long been operating the Youzhou Prefecture and became his own independent dynasty. This time, as soon as Yan Rong fell, the entire Youzhou Prefecture was immediately unlucky. Both the prince and the Han King knew that the Youzhou Prefecture had always been named Bingzhou General Administration. However, Bingzhou Prefecture had changed several positions over the years, and no major general administrator had always actually controlled Guandong. Therefore, Yang Guang, who had served as Bingzhou General Administration twice, had the opportunity to interfere in Guandong, and eventually put the front line of the Great Wall, especially east of Taihang.

The general managers gathered together. After Yang Liang took office as Bingzhou, he found that he had good control over the governors of the southern states, but the general managers in the north ignored him, the general managers in Hedong and the general managers were better, while the general managers in Shandong directly regarded him as a fart. Now Yang Liang has the support of the prince and after he took Yan Rong, he must of course be the only one who is willing to chase the remaining bravery, and he will not miss this opportunity to uproot Yang Guang's power in Hebei.

The prince and Yang Liang were going to pursue the general managers of Hebei, and Yang Jian was happy to do so. Taking down these general managers would be a good suppression for Yang Guang, and Yang Jian also intends to take the opportunity to launch a small-scale purge. When Yang Jian sent Yan Rong to Youzhou, he knew that Yan Rong was a cruel official, but he still appointed Yan Rong. And he had been using it for many years. How could he not know what Yan Rong did? But he still used Yan Rong. The key was to use the tiger to drive away the wolf.

The land of Youzhou is in the north of Hebei, and it has always been a force that is least in opposition to the Guanlong nobles. After the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was often the source of rebellion, and the local tyrants were even more disobedient to the court. Therefore, Yang Jian sent Yan Rong to come and vigorously suppress and rectify local tyrants. In recent years, Yan Rong has been in charge of Hebei. The purge of local tyrants in Hebei was very powerful, and those big clans were quite miserable under his suppression.

Just like the Fanyang Lu family, one of the top sects in Shandong, was targeted and suppressed by Yan Rong, and the Lu family's children were recruited to serve as servants to humiliate and suppress them.

Over the years, the powerful Yan land was suppressed and could not raise their heads, and reached its limit. At this time, Yang Jian took Yan Rong down, which was actually to destroy the bridges and kill the donkey. Killing Yan Rong was considered a little comfort to the powerful Yan land. Yang Jian was very good at this trick, using Yan Rong to suppress the powerful Yan land, and then turned around and slaughtered Yan Rong, who had a bad reputation in Yan land, as a little comfort to the powerful Yan land. But in the end, the powerful Yan land was still suppressed and weak, while the emperor and the court were just a result of ignoring people. Moreover, after killing Yan Rong, the court took the opportunity to appease these people, killing one stone.

Kill Yan Rong and clean up the governors, which not only gave the people of Hebei, but also took the opportunity to clean up a group of Guanlong nobles. When Yuwen Tai usurped the Wei and Yang Jian usurped Zhou, they were all top-down coups, so they eventually retained the powerful and noble ministers of the previous dynasty. After several generations, although the Sui Dynasty had only been established for more than ten years, the countless lords and wealthy families had increasingly affected the control of the court. Many top clans in the court even made Yang Jian worried secretly. Whenever he had the opportunity, he was of course willing to do it.

Wei Zheng said: "From the current situation, the seven general managers and most of the governors under the Youzhou General Administration have replaced them. Guizhou General Administration Qu Tutong and Yingzhou General Administration Wei Chong have both named the position of the General Administration of the Northern Expedition. Qu Tutong has been trusted by His Majesty, and Wei Chong has a prominent family background. This purge cannot affect these two people. The remaining four general managers of Tan Ping Xuanyi, plus the governors of Ying, Ding and Heng, may all have to replace them. Even dozens of towns below, as well as county magistrates of the counties, may also be replaced. King, I think we should take active action and try our best to insert our people into it, and take the opportunity to strengthen our control over the military towns of Youzhou General Administration."

Xu Deyan heard this, but shook his head slowly. He said to Yi Feng: "I don't think so. This purge was a joint action by the emperor, prince and king of Han. The suppression was not only the King of Jin, but also the increasingly powerful Guanlong Group. All parties were fighting each other, but we didn't have many opportunities to intervene. In addition, I also think we are not suitable to intervene too much at this time. Although Your Majesty asked the King to be the chief general of Youzhou and also served as the commander of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition, your Highness should not forget that the Emperor was in this Northern Expedition.

During the arrangement, the Eastern Army led by His Highness was only allowed to take charge of Youyan as the reserve army of the Central Army. Even the 100,000 troops who were originally transferred to Yan were transferred to Hedong in the middle. From this we can see that although the emperor made the king the chief supervisor, he actually did not really trust His Highness completely. If we put our own people in each state at this time, it would be a counter-effect. What's more, our current strength is gathered into a strength that cannot be underestimated, but if it is scattered to the prefectures of each state, it will be weak."

His words were full of worries. As Yi Feng's adoptive father, he tried his best to Yi Feng, and he didn't care about loyalty to the country, or something like that. He was thinking about Yi Feng's personal interests. According to what Wei Zheng said, at this time, arranging people to various states did indeed seem to expand authority and strengthen control over Youzhou Prefecture. But in fact, doing so was equivalent to dispersing strength. With Xu Deyan's resentment to Xiang Wu of the Great Sui Dynasty, he was very worried about such hidden dangers. He hoped that Yi Feng could always hold his power in his hands and maintain combat effectiveness at any time. It was not so much for preventing the Turks, but rather for preventing the court behind him.

Yi Feng also agreed with Xu Deyan's idea. Yi Feng could not control the Youzhou General Administration is so big. Moreover, Yang Jian, the prince, the Han Wang and others would not be willing to see his power so much. Maybe Yang Guang was not happy to see it. In addition, his strength was not strong, and it would only be weaker if it was dispersed. He also thought about striving to fully control the Youzhou Prefecture, but this idea just flashed. There were so many general administrations, so many prefectures, counties, towns, and forts, and more than a dozen states. There were fifty military towns under the original Youzhou Prefecture. Now, the entire Youzhou General Administration has more than a hundred military towns. It would be too dispersed when the troops were dispersed. A drop of ink into a bowl of water can dye the water black, but if a drop of ink into a pond water, it would be afraid that it would soon dissipate invisible.

After thinking about it, he couldn't become fat even if he had a breath. Intuition and reason told him that he should do everything step by step.

Now Xu Deyan's words are more certain about his thoughts, "What Sima said is that too much is too much. What we need to do now is to continue to consolidate our control over Wuzhou, and then find a way to control Youzhou, and then find a way to control Guizhou between Youzhou and Wuzhou. In this way, the three states of Youzhou and Wuzhou are connected together, so that they can advance and retreat even more."

Of course, we can't just ignore other general administrations and prefectures and county military towns. They are not convenient to control these places directly, but it does not mean that they can give up directly. Yi Feng's idea was that he could recommend a group of people outside Huaihuang to the court to serve. Of course, the best people recommended are neither Huaihuang, nor the prince, Han Wang, Jin Wang and other departments. In short, it is not convenient to control these places by themselves, and they cannot easily let them fall into the hands of the three factions of the crown prince, Jin Wang and Han Wang. After all, Yi Feng's lack of ability to control the various prefectures in Youzhou today does not mean that he will not have the strength to control the future. If the prince and his followers are controlled by him now, it will be difficult to take them over again.

"It turns out that the king said he wanted to recommend Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, to be honest," Wei Zheng said with a smile.
