Three Kingdoms: Start by buying a governor.

Chapter 105 Civil and military officials arrive one after another

After Xun Yu withdrew, Guo Jia was invited in.

He sat down casually as soon as he entered, a gesture that made the butler's eyelids twitch. Liu Ce waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave.

"Fengxiao, please sit down," Liu Ce said with a smile.

Guo Jia sat down, made no attempt to stand on ceremony, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and smacked his lips:

"This tea is good, better than Xun Wenruo's. He drinks tea like it's medicine, with a very serious expression."

Liu Ce laughed: "Are Fengxiao and Wenruo very close?"

"We know each other very well," Guo Jia said. "We're from the same place, we grew up together. He's just too serious, boring."

He looked up, glanced at Liu Ce a few more times, and smiled:

"Champion Marquis? He's younger than I thought. I imagined him to be a burly man with a full beard."

Liu Ce wasn't angry: "I've disappointed Mr. Fengxiao."

"Not disappointed, quite good." Guo Jia put down his teacup, looking at Liu Ce with a playful expression.

"My lord, let's be frank. You've brought me all the way from Yingchuan, surely not just to send me to Youzhou to 'farm'? Or... do you have grander ambitions?"

Liu Ce chuckled: "What do you think, Fengxiao?"

"I think the Marquis has lofty ambitions," Guo Jia said. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically asked His Majesty for people, and he would have specifically chosen those of us who are... 'not so docile'."

He counted on his fingers:

When Liu Ce came out, the two men immediately knelt down upon seeing him:

"This humble general, Yan Liang/Wen Chou, pays his respects to the Marquis of Champion! I have long admired your name, and it is an honor to meet you today!"

Liu Ce helped them up: "Please rise, both generals. I have long heard that Yan Liang and Wen Chou of Ji Province are brave beyond compare in the army. Seeing them today, I can confirm that their reputation is well-deserved."

Yan Liang grinned, "You flatter me, Your Excellency! From now on, wherever Your Excellency directs us, we'll go!"

Wen Chou added, "Yes! Absolutely no ambiguity!"

Liu Ce quickly helped them up: "Please rise, generals! With your help, Youzhou is safe!"

Zhang Zhongjing was a physician from Nanyang, in his thirties, and gentle and refined.

He arrived quietly, carrying only a medicine box and a small child.

Liu Ce treated him with exceptional respect—this was the Sage of Medicine! He personally greeted him at the door, addressing him as "Mr. Zhang" repeatedly, making Zhang Zhongjing feel embarrassed.

"You're too kind, Lord Marquis." Zhang Zhongjing cupped his hands in greeting. "It is my honor to be valued by you, Lord Marquis, as a mere physician."

"Mr. Zhang, you are mistaken," Liu Ce said earnestly.

"Doctors have the hearts of parents, saving people from danger. They are far better than us who wield swords and spears. The border region of Youzhou lacks doctors and medicine, and it is in dire need of a divine doctor like you, sir."

These words struck a chord with Zhang Zhongjing.

He originally intended to travel around practicing medicine and treating the people, but after Liu Ce said that, he immediately felt that he had made the right decision.
