Chapter 182 The Seven Kings Who Were Subdued

"Your subject Liu Bowen pays his respects to the two princes."

"Your subject, Xu Da, pays his respects to the two princes."

"Your subject Chang Yuchun pays his respects to the two princes."

…………

When the three men stood before Liu Fu and Liu Jia, Liu Fu, who was very familiar with them, was naturally dazzled.

In other words, Liu Fu doesn't lack people under his command now; otherwise, he would definitely have personally kept these three talents by his side and used them to govern Liaodong.

However, it's acceptable to keep them around to help Seventh Brother and assist him in governing his Fengfeng Kingdom.

After all, it's almost a foregone conclusion that the entire Han dynasty will belong to Liu Fufu in the future.

Liu Fu didn't see anything wrong with sharing these three talents with Seventh Brother.

When Liu Jia saw Liu Fu summon these three people out of thin air, he was already used to it, but he still had doubts about their abilities.

Liu Fu spoke directly to his seventh brother, Liu Jia.

"Liu Bowen should be appointed as prime minister directly to assist you in handling all political affairs."

"If Liu Bowen is the leader of the civil officials, then Xu Da should be the leader of the military generals. He will be the commander of all the military generals. No one can do without him in military campaigns. He is also a military genius. I'm afraid his ability is no less than yours, Seventh Brother, and may even surpass yours."

Upon hearing Liu Fu's introduction of Xu Da, Liu Jia's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Even among all the generals of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Jia was among the top.

He had followed Liu Laowu since childhood, and fought his way up on the battlefield. He had an outstanding record, and apart from this time when he was defeated by the Linglin people and the Japanese pirates and his army was wiped out, he had almost never suffered any defeat.

Liu Fu didn't say much, and then introduced Chang Yuchun.

"If Liu Bowen were to be the prime minister and Xu Da the general, and they needed an outstanding vanguard to conquer cities and seize strongholds, then that person would definitely be Chang Yuchun. With him around, they could break through cities as easily as drinking water and conquer cities and seize strongholds as if they were in an empty place!"

After Liu Fu finished introducing the three talents, he looked at Liu Jia's reaction.

"Fine, I'll give you a one-day trial period. Use your performance to win over this seventh brother of yours."

Liu Fu directly threw out this sentence at Liu Bowen, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun.

In fact, Liu Jia, the Prince of Ping, was not good at recognizing talent, and his way of employing people was actually very bad.

So when he looked at the three talented people in front of him, he was actually completely bewildered. He had no idea what position to place them in. Although Liu Fu had given him some guidance, Liu Jia was a genius when it came to fighting, but a fool when it came to using people.

As for Liu Bowen, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun, they had already passed away from illness and had no chance to return to the world.

But now Liu Fu has summoned them back, which is tantamount to giving them a second chance to live and realize their unfulfilled ambitions.

Faced with such an opportunity, Liu Fu gave them a one-day trial period, so they naturally had to do their best.

Only by gaining Liu Jia's approval can they stay here and live a second life.

"Alright, I'll make the decision for you. Liu Bowen will be the prime minister for a day, Xu Da will be the general for a day and in charge of the city's defense, and Chang Yuchun, you will be the vanguard general."

After Liu Fu gave the order, the three of them immediately began to carry out their tasks.

Liu Jia didn't say anything. After all, if Liu Fu could help him set things up and do something beneficial for the fiefdom, that would be even better.

What Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and Liu Bowen did next immediately shocked Liu Jia, the Seventh Prince, who felt as if he had found a treasure.

In the capital of the fiefdom, a large number of people fled and left, but a large number of people were unwilling to leave. They stayed in the capital and continued to support the soldiers guarding the city, providing them with continuous assistance from behind.

But in reality, with everyone mixed together, efficiency is extremely low, and many things are actually not that they can't be done well.

This is the problem with Liu Jia and his subordinates' management abilities.

Liu Jia was a genius at leading troops into battle, but when it came to actually managing his fiefdom, he was always hesitant and couldn't understand many things.

He couldn't understand it, and his subordinates were all mediocre, so there was nothing more to say.

On his first day here, Liu Fu saw a large number of officials bickering with each other. Many government departments overlapped, and everyone was in charge of the same things, resulting in overlapping powers. Officials acted independently and no one respected anyone else. As a result, the scope and boundaries of power were very unclear, which led to extremely low efficiency.

But after Liu Bowen arrived, he increased the speed of the entire capital's operations by more than double in just a few hours.

The problems of military food distribution, the division of responsibilities among officials, and the statistical accounting that had remained unresolved before were all quickly and extremely easily solved by Liu Bowen.

As soon as Xu Da ascended the city wall, he immediately took charge of the city's defenses. This was originally the responsibility of Liu Jia, the Seventh Prince, but now, because of Liu Fu's words, Xu Da took over.

After taking over, Xu Da immediately adjusted the city's defenses and made numerous changes.

Liu Jia, the seventh prince, didn't pay any attention to how Liu Bowen was transforming the entire capital.

But his gaze was always fixed on Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, especially on Xu Da.

After all, military campaigns and city defense arrangements were his areas of expertise, and he was well aware of them.

What exactly is Xu Da capable of achieving?

Does he truly possess the ability to surpass himself?

He only needs to glance at it to know.

Initially, Liu Jia was actually dissatisfied with Xu Da's actions of dismantling some of the defensive structures he had set up and then arbitrarily altering them.

But when Xu Da rearranged and arranged the entire city's defenses, Liu Jia climbed back up the city wall and was immediately taken aback!

Upon seeing Xu Da's arrangement, Liu Jia could only sigh in disbelief, wondering why he hadn't thought of arranging it this way before.

Even with 5,000 elite troops, if their defensive capabilities only reach 80 points under their own command...

Xu Da could then command these 5,000 elite troops to achieve a defensive capability of over 99 points.

This is the difference between Liu Jia and Xu Da.

Xu Da's talent alone was enough to impress Liu Jia, and Chang Yuchun, the vanguard general, immediately boosted the morale of the soldiers.

Although Chang Yuchun was the vanguard general, it was not his turn to charge forward at all.

But with just a few words, he ignited the morale of the 5,000 elite soldiers guarding the city, transforming them into men of courage and valor.

At this moment, their eyes were bloodshot, and they even wished they could rush out of the city immediately and fight to the death with all the enemy troops from the Scaled People Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom outside the city!

That very night, when Liu Jia returned to the palace, Liu Bowen finally arrived with several ministers. Liu Jia was astonished when he saw the well-organized streets and city and the extremely high efficiency in handling affairs.

Previously, when I issued a military order, it would take at least two hours to get the job done.

But now, under Liu Bowen's command, a single military order can be immediately implemented – that's efficiency.

At this moment, Liu Jia couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, it's so good to have talented people around!"
