The few people sent by Shi Xie, although they were not very famous people, were enough to deal with the current situation.

After Liu Zheng briefly described the current situation to them, he left only a few hundred soldiers and horses for them, and then, he led the remaining seven thousand soldiers and horses to continue to sweep the entire Linyi country.

At the beginning of December, 7,000 soldiers and horses led by Liu Zheng entered the southern part of Linyi Kingdom, and quickly swept the entire Linyi Kingdom at the speed of taking down a county town in three or four days.

Although some soldiers and horses in the remaining county towns of Linyi have been resisting the attack of Liu Zheng and other soldiers and horses, the population of the entire Linyi Kingdom is not too much, only a few hundred thousand people.

Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of people are still scattered in various counties, and on average, a county town only has a population of 30,000 or 40,000.

With a population of 30,000 or 40,000, it is difficult to draw out men and horses to form a force of 3,000 or 4,000.

After all, Fan Xiong had already recruited a wave of soldiers and horses nearby to support Wangcheng, so the remaining southern counties did not have many troops to defend against Liu Zheng's attack.

In this way, in a month's time, Liu Zheng had already used his thousands of soldiers and horses to sweep the entire south in mid-January.

Liu Zheng had already led the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers and horses and began to return to Hepu City.

Although in this battle, he brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the battle, and only 5,000 people returned with him in the end, but this can still be said to be a great victory.

At the cost of thousands of soldiers and horses, it occupied the entire Linyi country, removed the Linyi country from this world, and at the same time incorporated the Linyi country into Jiaozhou and acted as a Linyi county.

185 year, the end of January.

After Liu Zheng returned to Hepu City with his soldiers and horses, he immediately gave Wen Ping and Xu Huang and others a few days off, so that they could rest well.

A few of them can be regarded as having experienced some wind and frost and endured hardships.

In January, there is no heavy snow in Jiaozhou, and even the temperature is still in the tens of degrees, which is a comfortable time.

Liu Zheng looked at Yuan Zhou and Xu You in front of him, neither of them was taken by Liu Zheng to directly participate in the battle against Lin Yiguo, but one was later left in Hepu County to be responsible for commanding the overall situation instead of Liu Zheng.

The other Xu Yu was left by Liu Zheng in Jiuzhen County to assist Shixie, but now he has also returned to his side.

"Two, in the past few months since I left, has anything happened in Jiaozhou or even the Central Plains?"

Although the pacification of Linyi is also a major event, Liu Zheng is more concerned about the news of the Central Plains, after the little emperor succeeds to the throne, the court cannot be peaceful.

Just after Liu Zheng finished asking, Xu Yu on the side immediately opened his mouth and told Liu Zheng about the affairs of the imperial court.

"My lord, two months ago, General He Jin took the post of prime minister! On behalf of the Han Emperor, he commanded hundreds of civil and military officials. ”

"Prime Minister? Wasn't this official position abolished long ago? ”

Liu Zheng vaguely remembered that the Western Han Dynasty did indeed have a position of prime minister, but it was later changed to Da Situ.

Now that Da Situ has someone, He Jin naturally can't abolish Da Situ, and if he goes up again, he will lose the hearts of the people, so he can only change his method and restart the post of prime minister, plus he is a general himself, controlling the military strength of the whole country, and the power is not just talking.

"In order to enhance his prestige, He Jin re-established the position of prime minister, which officially made the He family's prestige in the imperial court reach its peak, but it also offended many people."

"Oh? How did you offend people? ”

He Jin already has a lot of political enemies, such as Lu Zhi, the backbone of Huangfu Song's department, and He Jin has some contradictions, during the time He Jin was in power.

The people who offended He Jin before either went to prison directly because of too much grudge, or they had a small festival and went home with a loss of office, so even Yuan Shao, a wealthy family of the fourth world and three dukes, was also relieved of his official position by He Jin because He Jin had some small troubles with He Jin when he killed the Han Emperor.

Yuan Shao was originally the city guard of Luoyang and was responsible for the security of Luoyang, but this kind of important official position, how could Yuan Shao, who had a holiday with He Jin, continue to serve it, and it didn't take long for He Jin to use his cronies to directly replace him, and with a position of Bohai Taishou, Yuan Shao was sent away.

And there are many people who have suffered the same as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, because of his proximity to Huangfu Song, is also excluded from the power center of Luoyang.

More and more people have complaints about He Jin, but they dare not speak out.

Now the only one who can still compete with He Jin is Lu Zhi, the Zhonglang general who fought against the Qiang uprising in Xiliang.

Although Huangfu Song put down the rebellion of Wang Fen in Jizhou, the rebellion of the Qiang people in Xiliang has not been alleviated.

The 100,000 Qiang iron cavalry led by Beigong Boyu and Han Sui and others are not comparable to Wang Fen and others.

Xiliang was already good at cavalry raids, and Lu Zhi lacked cavalry, most of the time, he could only rely on the infantry to support under the city wall, tens of thousands of troops, which lasted for a year, not only did not quell the rebellion of Beigong Boyu, but there was a tendency to become more and more fierce.

He Jin's cronies once gave He Jin a way to let Dong Zhuo, who was born in Xiliang, go to quell the chaos.

In this way, he can replace Lu Zhi, and secondly, he can also cultivate his own cronies.

At the beginning, He Jin didn't believe that Dong Zhuo had this ability.

However, after his staff retold him about Dong Zhuo's deeds, He Jin agreed.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo liked chivalry and righteousness when he was young, and once went to the Qiang tribe to play and made friends with many Qiang leaders. Later, Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown to farm, and some Qiang leaders came to visit him, and Dong Zhuo went home with them and killed the ploughing cattle to entertain everyone. The leaders of the Qiang people were very moved, and after they returned, they gathered thousands of various livestock and presented them to Dong Zhuo.

In this regard, he has some friendship with the Qiang people, and even if it is not peaceful to let Dong Zhuo go, just to appease those Qiang people, Dong Zhuo may also have a chance to complete it.

At the very least, it can alleviate the situation at the moment.

Therefore, He Jin agreed to Dong Zhuo to replace Lu Zhi, and asked Dong Zhuo to lead his troops and horses to Xiliang to quell the chaos.

After Xu You's explanation, Liu Zheng finally had some problems with these bad things in the imperial court, but when he heard that the imperial court did not continue to send people to Jiaozhou to fight with his men, Liu Zheng was still a little worried before, and finally let go.

After Xu You finished talking about the affairs of the imperial court, Yuan Zhou began to tell Liu Zheng about some recent things in Jiaozhou.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he first talked about the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
