In addition to military and political dignitaries such as Taishou and Sima, Liu Yu also arranged two townside generals. This article is written by: The first one was Xianbei Zhonglang General Dian Wei, who would lead 50,000 troops to be stationed in Siping County, with Pang De, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu and Tai Shici as deputy generals, and ate in Changli and Xuansu counties; The other is Wuhuan Zhonglang general Hua Xiong, commanding 30,000 troops stationed in Shanggu County, with Zang Ba and Wu Anguo as his deputy generals, and eating in Daijun and Yuyang.

It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want famous generals like Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to take the position, but they are too young and still need some training, after all, the army is a place where seniority is discussed. What's more, the current Dian Wei and Hua Xiong are not as fierce and unwise as they say in history, and under the spur of Liu Yu, although they are limited to talent and cannot be promoted to the level of marshal who can command a war, it is more than enough to become a general who can command a battle alone.

When Liu Yu arranged the "aftermath", Xianbei's envoy arrived, saying that their indemnity, people, and food were ready, and asked Liu Yu where he was going to receive it. Liu Yu pushed the boat down the river and asked them to deliver the goods in Siping, and ordered Erxun to go there with Dian Wei to count the supplies. And Liu Yu stayed in Liaodong for a large collection, anyway, this place will be handed over to Gongsun Du, and Liu Yu will take everything he can take away.

A week later, Liu Yu embarked on the road to Siping with 73 fully loaded carts and more than 50,000 Liaodong residents who were willing to live with Liu Yu. As soon as he arrived in Siping, Liu Yu was greeted into the conference hall by Xun Yu, who was full of spring breeze, and Dian Wei, who was slightly sad, and Xun Yu went to arrange the accommodation of the 50,000 Liaodong residents after giving Liu Yu a salute.

"Dian Wei, why do you have a bitter face, this Xianbei Zhonglang will not be so difficult, right?" Liu Yu asked jokingly.

"Back to my lord. Of course, Chen can be promoted, but the soldiers under Chen are a little complaining! ”

Liu Yu was slightly startled and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You make it clear to me. ”

"The vast majority of the soldiers under the minister are from Yuzhou, and they are a little dissatisfied when they hear that they are going to garrison in this bitter cold place in the north."

Liu Yu's face changed, and he said coldly: "They mutinied? ”

Dian Wei's hands shook in a panic, and he said urgently: "Who would dare to do this under the majesty of the lord?!" The soldiers are just whining! ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, thought about it, and said: "In this way, the salaries of the soldiers stationed in Youbei will be increased by 30%. In addition, they were encouraged to move their families to Youzhou, and each person was allocated 30 acres of fertile land. ”

"The ministers and soldiers have thanked the lord for his generous gifts!" Dian Wei smiled excitedly: "Lord, the minister retired first." The minister wants to tell the good news to the monkey cubs, so that they can be happy too! ”

"Well, there you go." After Dian Wei left, Liu Yu asked Xun Yu, who had been smiling, and said, "Look at you like this." Guess it gives me good news, right? ”

Xun Yu laughed without any elegance. said: "Lord, this time we have reorganized the Han Dynasty and reproduced the majesty of the Heavenly Empire!" You didn't see how cautious and groveling the Xianbei envoy who escorted the war reparations was to us, that was really gratifying! ”

Liu Yu said with great interest: "Really? You called him here to make Liu Yu happy! ”

Xun Yu's face became a little strange: "That Xianbei envoy has already left." ”

"Gone?" Liu Yu was surprised: "You didn't wait for me to come and leave?" How? ”

Xun Yu didn't answer and asked: "The lord knows that your name in Xianbei can stop children from crying at night!" ”

"Ah, why is that?" The questioner was Fan Lihua, who was inseparable from Liu Yu's personal guard and good wife.

"Back to Madame's words, the high priest of the shamanism doesn't know why he has positioned the lord as the reincarnation of the Great Demon King Hani and notified all the dioceses, and now the lord is famous in the shamanic sphere of influence!"

Liu Yu was a little depressed. But Fan Lihua asked with great interest: "What is the Great Demon King of Hani?" ”

Xun Yu's face was a little distorted, and his voice was a little depressed. It seems to be trying his best to endure something: "The Great Demon King of Hani is the most evil and evil in the shamanic teachings, and he represents killing, disaster and death, and all those who come into contact with him will be sucked out of their souls by him. He can turn anyone into puppets and toys that only obey him if he wants to. He loves to drink the blood of virgins, and he loves to eat the brains of virgins......"

Looking at the two people who were talking energetically and listening happily, Liu Yu couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense." Wen Ruo, Xianbei people didn't play any tricks on the compensation, right? ”

When it comes to business, Xun Yu is also serious: "Back to the lord, the money, food, people, and horses compensated by the Xianbei people are only a lot more. There are more than 5,630,000 taels of silver, and nearly 7,000,000 taels of gold and jade jewelry at market price; One hundred thousand and eight hundred war horses, and enough forage for these war horses to eat for three months; There were 820,000 stone of grain. Because the number of Han slaves in the Xianbei tribe was insufficient, the Xianbei people replaced them with slaves of other ethnic groups. There are more than 84,000 Han slaves and 50,000 foreign slaves, most of whom are young and middle-aged, of which about 30% are women. ”

Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "Let those foreign slaves go to repair the city, and tell them that when the city is repaired, it will be the day when they regain their freedom." As for the Han slaves, if we want to go home, we will pay for the journey, and if we want to settle in Siping, we will not only provide housing but also work. One person who can farm is allocated 20 acres of arable land, those who can graze to feed military horses, and those who can strike iron enter the forging division, so they must make the best use of it! Well, if those foreign slaves want to settle here in the end, too. ”

##############################################################

When repairing Siping City, Liu Yu ordered them to set up a Zhenbei General's Mansion for themselves as his governing place, of course, Liu Yu would not be resident here, so Liu Yu appointed Cheng Yu as the chief secretary of the Zhenbei General's Mansion and had the right to act cheaply. Seeing that there was nothing to do next, Liu Yu ordered Huang Zhong to wait for the city to be built before leading a large army to escort all the spoils back to Yuzhou, while Liu Yu took the Beiwei army and Luan Fengwei to take the first step!

When they reached a place called Pinggang in Changli County, the scouts sent by Yin Damu reported that a small village more than ten miles away was being attacked by hundreds of horse thieves. Liu Yu was furious when he heard this. I didn't expect the horse thief to dare to run to his own territory to grab something, this is simply not in his eyes!

Liu Yu immediately ordered to move forward at full speed and rushed to the place of the accident. In fact, Liu Yu knew from the bottom of his heart that he was rushing to collect the bodies of those villagers now. With the fighting power of the horse thieves, I am afraid that the village has been slaughtered in the twenty minutes they have been on their way! Alas, let us do our best to obey the fate of heaven, at least Liu Yu still has a chance to avenge the villagers.

To Liu Yu's surprise, when they arrived at the scene, they saw that it was not a corpse all over the ground, but a small siege battle. The attacking side was four or five hundred strong men armed with sabers and wearing broken armor; The number of defenders should be less than 100, but with the earthen wall close to two feet and sharp bows and arrows, the opponent's attack was forcefully contained.

"Brothers, work hard, the wine, meat, and women are waiting for us to enjoy inside!" A horse thief in iron armor was behind the attackers, brandishing his saber and shouting loudly.

Liu Yu's position now is behind the horse thief. Facing the earthen fort directly, the first to find Liu Yu was the defenders. But not only did they not ask Liu Yu for advice, but instead gestured to Liu Yu to leave quickly.

Presumably noticing the anomaly of the defenders. The ironclad horse thief turned his head to look at Liu Yu. After a while, he had symptoms of glowing eyes and drooling at the corners of his mouth. Just when Liu Yu thought that his horns were crazy, he shouted loudly again: "There are so many women, brothers, come and see the fairy!" ”

The cries of the men were silenced by this. The horse thieves who were besieging the city turned their heads to look. Then the symptoms of what seemed to be epilepsy appeared. These horse thieves naturally did not attach importance to beauty to the point of ignoring the combat power of the Beiwei army, but because Liu Yu preferred to allocate the high-grade Del war horses to Luan Fengwei, so that now only he and the twelve Luan Fengwei including Fan Lihua arrived at the scene.

"Run, these horse thieves are inhumane, and they can't let their ladies fall into their hands!" An anxious voice shattered the silence of the scene.

The iron-armored horse thief who reacted excitedly began to shout again: "Brothers, go back to warm the bed with a fairy!" The horse thieves became excited, and immediately changed their rear formation to the front formation, and rushed towards Liu Yu in a chaotic manner under the leadership of the iron-armored horse thieves.

It's really lustful. Ignoring our sophisticated equipment and fearless momentum. Liu Yu shook his head, originally wanted to wait for the Beiwei army to meet him alone and kill all the horse thieves. But inadvertently, I saw that the pretty faces of Luan Fengwei were full of eager looks. Although they have experienced several battles with Liu Yu, they haven't done much, and they don't think it's enjoyable, so let them have fun this time, anyway, this rabble will not pose too much threat to these people who have been enhanced by the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill.

"Respond to the enemy, exterminate." With Liu Yu's order, Fan Lihua led her team members to form an arc formation to meet the horse thief.

Maybe it was because they were afraid of hurting the fairies, the horse thieves didn't shoot with bows and arrows, but Fan Lihua and the others had no scruples, and the two rounds of crossbow arrows made the horse thieves lose nearly one percent. After getting close, Fan Lihua and the others changed their formation and fought in a group of three horses.

As the saying goes, "an inch is long and an inch is strong", and the sabers of the horse thieves are often poked off their horses by the three-edged spears of the Luan Fengwei as soon as they are chopped out. And the cooperation of the girls was extremely tacit, and they didn't give the horse thief any chance to sneak attack at all, and then the addition of the back army also made the horse thief completely desperate.

Probably thinking that the general situation was decided, the villagers in the fort also came out under the leadership of a handsome girl armed with a scimitar. Thanks to the efforts of both sides, the horse thieves were quickly killed, and Liu Yufang only had three soldiers from the Beiwei Army who were slightly injured, but none of them were serious. So the wounded healed, and if they were fine, they collected the loot and cleaned up the battlefield, and once they found the horse thief who was not dead, they immediately refilled the shot, and faithfully carried out Liu Yu's order to "exterminate".

At this time, Fan Lihua ran to Liu Yu's side, looking like she was about to make a small report: "Husband, have you noticed the girl with a scimitar?" ”

"Is that the girl who is fierce and fierce and is not slower than you in killing people?"

"Yes, yes, that's her! Husband, didn't you notice anything wrong with her? ”

Liu Yu thought about it carefully, she was not as tall as Fan Lihua in terms of martial arts, and she was not as attractive as Fan Lihua in terms of appearance and figure, where did she attract Fan Lihua's attention?

Perhaps feeling unbearable about Liu Yu's clueless appearance, Fan Lihua reminded: "Husband, have you paid attention to her knife?" ”

Knife? The knife must have been sharp, and the ironclad horse thief was split in two by it. Its scabbard is adorned with gold and precious stones. It looks precious, but it's nothing worth noting?!

Liu Yu looked at Fan Lihua suspiciously, and she smiled proudly at Liu Yu. said: "I know that husband, you didn't read that information!" Let me tell you, that girl is holding the heirloom treasure of the Wuhuan clan in her hand, and it is also the special saber of their clan king - the full moon scimitar! ”

Liu Yu was taken aback and asked, "How can the special saber of the Wuhuan clan king be in the hands of a girl?" Doesn't it mean that succeeding Qiu Liju as the king of Wuhuan is a person named Lou Ban, could it be that this girl is Lou Ban? ”

Fan Lihua glanced at Liu Yu, and said angrily: "How do I know, you ask yourself!" ”

At this time, Yin Damu had already walked over with the girl. Before Liu Yu could ask a question, the girl knelt on the ground and said, "Wuhuan sinner, Luo Li'er, see General Liu!" ”

"Girille? Are you the daughter of the former Wuhuan King Qiu Liju? Liu Yu asked in surprise.

"It's the sinners!"

"You get up and speak," she said, looking at the delicate girl with her bumpy and determined eyes. Liu Yu couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?" ”

Luo Li'er said with red eyes: "I was chased here by my brother Lou's class!" ”

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Luo Li'er nodded and said: "Originally, my father planned to surrender to the general after the defeat of the Hui clan, but my elder brother Lou Ban united with the elders of the clan to accuse my father, saying that he killed tens of thousands of people for personal gain, and asked him to abdicate and commit suicide to thank the people. My father didn't allow it. They instigated a mutiny. When my father was dying, he handed me the full moon scimitar. and let his own soldiers escort me out. But Lou Ban chased after him, and when he fled to Handi, I was left alone. ”

"Then what do you want to do in the future, do you want me to help you avenge and reclaim the throne?" Liu Yu didn't want to understand why Qiu Liju and Lou Ban would kill each other, he was just estimating the benefits he could make in this matter.

"I don't want revenge, and I don't want to go back!" Luo Li'er said with some grievances: "If possible, I want to join the general's Luan Fengwei and serve the general!" ”

It's strange, why doesn't Gariel want to take revenge? Liu Yu scrutinized her. only to find that there was indeed no hatred in her clear eyes, only sadness and relief. I don't know why she replied like this though. But Liu Yu's spiritual sense told him that she was harmless. Since this is the case, then Liu Yu will do what she wants!

"Okay, you will enter Luan Fengwei to be Lihua's subordinate in the future!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Fan Lihua smiled at the novice subordinate Li'er first, and then said in a timely manner: "Husband, the three gentlemen over there have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Luo Li'er was very accustomed to the current position, and immediately said: "Lord, those three gentlemen all have great wisdom, and it is by relying on their command and dispatch that more than 100 villagers can resist the attack of 500 horse thieves. ”

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, Liu Yu immediately became interested and asked, "Do you know what their names are?" ”

"The one in the white robe is Mr. Guan Ning, the one in the green shirt is Mr. Bingyuan, and the farmer is dressed as Mr. Guoyuan."

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Liu Yu strode over and arched his hand: "I have admired the names of the three for a long time, and when I see them today, Liu Yu feels very honored." It's really a waste for the three of them to live in seclusion here, since they have great talents who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, they should benefit the people of Limin, how can they be alone......" Liu Yu didn't give them a chance to speak at all, until he thought that the spiritual magic had already worked, he stopped and made a final summary: "I don't know if the three of you are willing to return to Yuzhou with Liu Yu and make their own contributions to the people of the world living and working in peace and contentment?!" ”

Guan Ning and the other three glanced at each other with a wry smile and nodded helplessly. Liu Yu was really happy, so when Yin Damu reported the results of the battle to Liu Yu, Liu Yu generously gave all the injured horses and the weapons of the horse thieves to the villagers, and Liu Yu only left the remaining 364 war horses of the horse thieves. Then Liu Yu ordered to rest on the spot for the night, and ordered Luan Fengwei to help Guan Ning and the three of them pack up. Just wait for tomorrow morning, and they will return to Yuzhou together.

However, such a good mood was ruined as soon as he arrived in Jizhou, because Liu Yu got the news that the original Jizhou Muhuang Fu Song was deposed by the imperial court. After inquiring about Huangfu Song's whereabouts from a Jizhou official, Liu Yu ordered Yin Damu to lead all the Beiwei troops to protect Guan Ning and the three of them marching at a normal speed, while Liu Yu took Fan Lihua, Luo Li'er and other Luan Fengwei to chase after him quickly.

When Liu Yu met Huangfu Song in Yangping. He was leisurely drinking in a small liquor shop.

"General Huangfu, I heard that you were deposed by the imperial court, what is going on?" Liu Yu asked straight to the point.

After Huangfu Song saw Liu Yu, he first frowned slightly. Then he let out a sincere smile, raised his glass and said: "Congratulations to General Liu on his victorious return to the dynasty and raise my great Han Tianwei!" Come, the old man would like to toast you with this wine. ”

How could a man who has gone from a state pastor to a commoner smile so happily? Liu Yu couldn't help but ask cautiously, "General Huangfu, are you okay?" ”

Huangfu Song laughed when he heard this: "Does General Liu think that the old man should be sad and drink to kill his sorrows now?" Seeing that Liu Yu was a little embarrassed, he said again: "Thank you General Liu, in fact, the old man has long wanted to return to his hometown!" ”

"General Huangfu, you are only in your early fifties, why did you think of returning to your hometown?"

Huangfu Song finally showed a wry smile. However, no explanation was given. Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu asked again: "General Huangfu has made great contributions to Sheji, how could the imperial court remove the general so easily?" ”

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "No matter how great the merit is, it can't stop a few slanderous words from the eunuchs!" ”

Liu Yu looked at him. And he shook his head with a wry smile, and finally explained to Liu Yu: "When the emperor received the good news of your pacification of Youzhou, he sent a large number of small yellow gates to inspect the world, saying that he wanted to observe the people's feelings and prevent the slightest problem. But the little yellow gate that came to my Jizhou went against the emperor's original intention and openly asked me for a bribe. After being sternly rejected by me, he walked away. Unexpectedly, more than a month later, the imperial court sent a messenger. said that I would not save myself in the war in Youzhou and support the army, which was really a disgrace to the emperor, so I was demoted to a commoner! ”

I don't know how my officials in Yuzhou will deal with this matter, if those eunuchs really run to my land to fight the autumn wind, I must them "eat mine and spit it out, take mine and give it back to me"! While thinking about his own business, Liu Yu asked casually: "Then who will replace you as the pastor of Jizhou?" ”

"The imperial court abolished the position of Jizhou pastor and appointed only a thorn to supervise Jizhou. This new Jizhou assassin can be called a young man. Although he is only in his early thirties, he has an excellent reputation in both the government and the opposition. He is Yuan Shao of the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Shao, you're finally on the scene! I really want to meet you, who is "fierce and timid, and scheming; Do big things and cherish your life, and forget your life when you see small profits"! After thinking about it, Liu Yu asked with concern: "I don't know what General Huangfu's plans are in the future?" ”

"Oh, the old man just wants to go back to the countryside and live a leisurely life! The old man doesn't want to be an official anymore, it's too tiring! Probably seeing Liu Yu's idea of trying to recruit him, Huangfu Song took the first step to clarify his position.

"Hehe......" Liu Yu smiled disappreciatively: "I'm not here to invite General Huangfu to my Yuzhou as an official, but there is a job in Yuzhou that is suitable for you waiting for you!" ”

"What does General Liu mean by that?" Looking at Huangfu Song's appearance, he seems to be very interested.

"I plan to build a military academy in Yuzhou to train truly outstanding qualified officers for my Han, and I hope you can come to this military academy as the dean." Speaking of this, Liu Yu stood up and made a big salute to Huangfu Song, saying, "I hope that General Huangfu will agree!" ”

It may be that Liu Yu's rhetoric is too moving, or it may be that Huangfu Song himself is unwilling to be lonely, and it is more likely that the spiritual magic has worked, anyway, Huang Fu Song joined Liu Yu's camp and returned to Yuzhou with Liu Yu.

###########################################################

After comforting a few women who had been absent for a long time, Liu Yu returned to the conference hall. He found that Huangfu Song and Guan Ning and the three of them were talking happily with his subordinates, so Liu Yu laughed and said, "It seems that you don't need to introduce you to each other anymore!" ”

"See the lord (Hou Ye)!" Everyone saluted Liu Yu together, and the one who called Liu Yu "Hou Ye" was naturally Huangfu Song, but he was a guest hired by Liu Yu, of course, he didn't have to call Liu Yu "lord" like a retainer!

After Liu Yu returned the salute and gave him a seat, he asked: "Zhengping, how has the development of Yuzhou been in the past year?" ”

You Heng replied respectfully: "If you return to the lord, the current population of my Yuzhou has exceeded eight million, in addition to the tribute tax to the imperial court and the Fenglu and military salaries of officials and soldiers, last year we Yuzhou netted five million taels of silver!" ”

Only five million taels? It's not as much as the spoils of my battle, but it seems that it's still easy to make war money!
