Liu De nodded slightly, "Di Renjie is capable enough, he is indeed a good hand, even so, let Di Renjie serve as the other driver of Yanzhou, and concurrently serve as the Taishou of Liaocheng, and assist you in handling Yanzhou government affairs!" ”

Then Liu De said: "Zheng Kui's son Zheng Boqi has served as Liaocheng Cheng for a long time, so he will be transferred to one of the counties as the Taishou!" ”

"Yes! Wechen understood. ”

Xu Shu responded.

It can also be seen from these two sentences that Xu Shu, the Yanzhou pastor, was also deprived of Liu De's personnel rights, and Xu Shu was no longer able to decide on the position of the county guard, of course, Xu Shu had the right to suggest to the central government, if nothing else, Liu De would not veto Xu Shu's proposal, which was a respect for a party member.

Moreover, Xu Shu was the first official of the Han Principality to serve as a state minister, and some aspects will also be customized according to this, and almost no longer change.

Liu De and Xu Shu discussed the appointment of other personnel, and these appointments would not be officially issued until Liu De held the ceremony of sealing the prince and the vassals.

But now Xu Shu has to be prepared, and when he finishes attending the ceremony, he will leave for his post.

"Lord!"

Dai Zong hurried in the snow, holding a bamboo tube wrapped in red cloth in his hand, which was obviously very important information.

The Gong Wei Division set up by Dai Zong, as well as the Hanging Mirror Division led by Che Yan, were red "color", orange "color", yellow "color", and green "color" according to the importance of the matter, and the red "color" represented the most urgent.

Dai Zong held the bamboo tube high in front of Liu De and said to Liu De: "My lord, there is news from Danzhou and Luanzhou, His Majesty the Emperor, escorted by several personal guards, arrived under the command of Danzhou Mu Li Yun, canonized Li Yun as the Duke of Wei, everything is like the system of princes and kings!" ”

Hearing this, Liu De nodded slightly, it was beyond Liu De's expectation that the little emperor fled to Li Yun, but it was only a small trouble, and Li Yun was inevitable, because he needed to obtain the same political status as Liu De, but these did not have much impact on Liu De.

The officials under his command who basically don't have any thoughts on Zhou are different from Cao Cao, who was named Duke of Wei...

Dai Zong took a breath and continued: "Lord, there is news from Luanzhou, Uncle Yang was killed on the spot by Yang Tianlong because of rebellion, and the general Yao Ang is protecting Yang Tong, the son of Uncle Yang, who is missing, and Yang Tianlong is conducting a search and arrest in the whole state... According to folk rumors, Uncle Yang took his wife back to Luancheng after handing over the military power, and the possibility of rebellion is extremely low..."

"Is the news true?"

"Everyone knows that Uncle Yang was killed!"

It is expected that Xu Shu is resourceful and a little unintelligible, "Why did Yang Tianlong destroy the city wall?" ”

Liu De is also very entangled, although Uncle Yang controls all the soldiers and horses of Zhao State, but with Liu De's understanding of Uncle Yang, the possibility of rebellion is extremely low, and now there is only one possibility, that is, Uncle Yang killed by Yang Tianlong.

It stands to reason that the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, and the good bows were hidden, such as Shang Ying, Han Xin, and Wen Zhong, all of which were already powerful in the country, so they were executed by the monarch for various reasons.

But Luanzhou has just been occupied by Yang Tianlong, what kind of place is Luanzhou, it is Ji Yuanxu's base camp, the last basic plate of the Great Zhou, although Yang Tianlong, the puppet emperor, relied on the strength of soldiers and horses to occupy this place, but it is not stable, there are still a lot of people in the Zhou family, and it will take a lot of time for Yang Tianlong to stabilize Luanzhou.

If that's it, Yang Tianlong still has himself by his side, the so-called Zhao regime of the Yang family is just a castle in the air, crumbling, and the elite of the Yang family is almost lost in the final battle of Beiping. Yang Tianlong had no one to rely on, so he killed the last pillar of his country, which made Liu De very puzzled.

However, as soon as Uncle Yang died, Yang Tianlong really had no generals to rely on, which was a good thing for Liu De.

The only pity is that he couldn't defeat this peerless general in person, Liu De thought secretly.

Liu De then said to Dai Zong: "Now that Yang Tianlong has occupied Luanzhou at the beginning, he must not be attached to the people, and he will destroy the Great Wall, so you send capable generals to contact the families and people in Luanzhou who are still concerned about the Great Zhou court, and create internal 'chaos' for Yang Tianlong, and wait until next year, I will launch a large army to eliminate the puppet emperor and Kuang Sheji!" If there is a family willing to help each other, and those who abandon darkness and turn to the light, I will not hesitate to reward. ”

"The last general commands!"

Dai Zong hurriedly answered, and quickly left the main hall to arrange many matters.

.....

Yanzhou, December 12, the weather is a little gloomy, with cold winds.

Liu's Mansion was anxious, and even Chen Shuo, who had not yet recovered from his illness, and Xun Yu, who had a lot of business, came to Liu's Mansion to wait.

The reason is that Chen Ying is about to give birth.

If Chen Ying gave birth to a Qilin'er, then he is Liu De's eldest son, and he naturally has the right to inherit the Principality of Han, which makes the officials, families, and people of Liaocheng and even Yanzhou not pay attention to it?

"Wow, wow, wow!"

After a long wait, the fetus in Chen Ying's womb was finally born.

A stable woman hurriedly reported the good news to the Qian family, Chen Shuo and others who were waiting outside, "Congratulations to Mrs., congratulations to Chen Gong, Mrs. has given birth, she is a Lin'er!" ”

"Great, reward! There is a reward for the whole house! ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

After hearing this, Wen Po felt very happy in her heart, and hurriedly squatted at the Qian family for a thousand blessings.

Qian followed Wen Po to the house, and Xun Yu also congratulated Chen Shuo: "Congratulations to Chen Gong, now that he has become a great-grandfather, it is really worth celebrating!" ”

Chen Shuo stroked his gray beard, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped for a while, since the birth of the child, Chen Shuo felt that his spirit was much better, and his body was also strong.

"Xun Changshi, this matter should be quickly revealed to the lord, please give the lord a name, presumably the lord will be even more happy when he learns about this!" Chen Shuo said to Xun Yu.

"Immediately instruct the Gong Wei Si Feige to pass the book and report it to the lord!"

Xun Yu said.

Xun Yu saw that Liu's mansion was fine, so he bowed his hand to Chen Shuo and went back to the mansion to deal with government affairs.

Ma Yuxuan looked at Chen Shuo, who was happy and happy, and Xun Yu, who had just left, how much she hoped that it was she who was lying in it now, hugged Liu Zhao, who was snoring and sleeping in her arms, and whispered to herself: "Child! You must fight in the future, your mother is here, and she will definitely not let you live behind for a long time! ”

Xi Qiu was "touching" her abdomen on the side, she had followed her husband for so long, but now she has never been pregnant, and she was watching her husband's other wives and concubines give birth to children, which made Xi Qiu sulk.

Now that Liu De is already the Duke of Han, he may be the Ninety-Five Emperor in the future, if he doesn't take advantage of this to give birth to a Lin'er for his husband, if he has more and more concubines in the future, where will he still have his own place?

has no extraordinary beauty and no illustrious background, Xi Qiu is now only looking forward to being able to conceive one of her husband's children, so that the rest of her life can be guaranteed.

The other concubines also have their own thoughts, some are happy, some are worried, and Liu De's harem is actually not so stable.

.....

North State.

Huo Qubing led 800 cavalry, one man and two horses, galloping all the way, day and night, although there was heavy snow over the knees, but Huo Qubing still overcame many difficulties and arrived in Xiji City.

Xiji City, because it is located in the west of Beizhou, and was originally a market between the Great Zhou and the Hu people as an interchange, so it was named Xiji.

Beihu and Da Zhou were often in a state of war, and Xiji turned from a bazaar into a military fortress, stationed on the most critical artery in Beizhou, relying on the Great Wall, and countless bunkers, dragging the Hu people out of Beizhou.

At the beginning, Beihu was hit on the head under Xiji City, and Uncle Yang also made a name for himself under Xiji City.

But now, this front line of resistance to the Hu people has become a residence for the Hu people.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the smoke of cooking in the city was curling, and the aroma of barbecued meat wafted from the city, making the guards squatting not far from the city swallow their saliva.

Huo Qubing personally took his two guards to the outside of Xiji City to inquire about the enemy, and the rest of the cavalry camped farther outside the city.

"What, broken slave? Is this greedy? ”

Huo Quzhi said with a smile to the guards on the side.

"General, don't laugh at me, I don't believe you're greedy?" Zhao Ponu retorted on the side.

"Of course I'm hungry too!"

Huo Quzhi pointed to Xiji City not far away, and asked Ponu: "Ponu, how do you feel about the defense of this city?" ”

Zhao Ponu poked his head over and thought about it, but he was still a little uncertain and said: "General, I think that the defense of Xiji City is very lax, but even so, relying on our eight hundred people to take this fortified city, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?" ”

"So what? Only by taking Xiji City can we take the advantage, we have to think of a way! Huo Quzhi scratched his chin with his fingers and pondered.

"Whew!"

An arrow suddenly "inserted" into Huo Quzhi's side, Huo Quzhi and Zhao Ponu were suddenly shocked, quickly pulled out the blade on their waists, and looked at the two figures not far away vigilantly.

"This is..."

Huo Quzhi muttered.

"General, let's kill it! There are only two of them, and judging by that person's archery, he is not a master! Zhao Ponu said loudly to Huo Quzhi on the side.

"That man gives me a familiar feeling..."

Huo Quzhi said.

"Familiar?"

Zhao Ponu didn't understand what it meant.

"There is no malice in coming, follow me!" Huo Quzhi turned his head to Zhao Ponu and said.

"Aha?"

Zhao Ponu followed Huo Quzhi to the two people in a daze, Huo Quzhi saw the faces of the two of them clearly at this time, and was suddenly quite excited, walked forward a few steps quickly, bowed his head and bowed to the front person: "Nephew to meet uncle!" ”

"Uncle?"

Zhao Ponu felt that his head was a little insufficient, and he didn't react at all.

The man grabbed Huo Quzhi's arms, helped Huo Qubing up, patted Huo Quzhi's shoulder, and laughed: "You kid, now you have become a general!" ”

Only then did Huo Quzhi "reveal" the shyness that a teenager should have, "touched" and "touched" the back of his head, and said to his uncle with a smile: "Thanks to the trust of the lord, otherwise, I would still be a soldier in my uncle's place!" ”

Huo Quzhi pulled Zhao Ponu, who was a little sluggish on the side, and introduced: "Uncle, this is my uncle Zhao Ponu, who wandered in the grassland when he was a child, and later joined the army. ”

He said to Zhao Ponu again: "Ponu, this is my uncle Wei Qing, I was fostered in my uncle's house when I was a child, and my martial arts and the art of war were taught by my uncle..."

When Zhao Ponu heard this, it turned out that General Huo's martial arts and art of war were all taught by the professor in front of him, and that was the big guy!

Zhao Ponu hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, "I've seen an adult!" ”

"But I don't deserve to be called an adult, how many years older should I be than you, you and I will be brothers!" Wei Qing said quite boldly.

Zhao Ponu wanted to agree, but with a glance of his eyes, he saw Huo Quai's cold eyes, want to be my elder? Don't you kid want to live anymore?

Zhao Ponu hurriedly lowered his head.

Wei Qing laughed on the side.

Then he introduced the strong man beside him, his friend, Gongsun Ao, who once saved Wei Qing's life.

Huo Quai's illness hurried to pay homage.

Gongsun Ao said to Wei Qing: "This is not a place to talk, let's leave this place first!" ”

Wei Qing nodded in agreement, and then told Huo Quai, "You lead your cavalry to a small col in the northeast, and my army is there!" ”

"Oops! I was found by my uncle! Huo Quzhi was taken aback, he didn't expect that his soldiers and horses had been discovered by his uncle early, and it was his uncle, if it was someone else, Huo Quzhi shuddered, and he didn't dare to imagine.

Wei Qing hit Huo Quzhi's helmet with a blow knife, "I don't know how many catties and taels your kid has, but it's still tender!" Hurry up! ”

"Broken slave, you go to lead the troops, I'll go with my uncle first!"

Huo Quzhi let go of the doubts in his heart, and when he arrived in a safe place, he must have figured everything out.

Huo Quzhi is not worried about his own safety, and his uncle will never harm himself.

When he arrived at the small col in the northeast, Huo Quzhi found that the geographical location of this small col was very good, if he didn't deliberately look for it, he wouldn't have been found at all for a while, and it was a good place to hide soldiers.

Huo Quzhi glanced at it and found that there were about more than 1,000 soldiers under his uncle's command, although there were few people wearing armor, but they were full of spirit, no less than the cavalry under his command, and the cavalry under his command was the elite of Liu De's army!

Wei Qing introduced several generals under his command to Huo Quzhi, in addition to Gongsun Ao, there were also Gongsun He, Li Xi, and Zhang Cigong.

In addition to Zhao Ponu, Huo Quai's subordinate uncle also has a general, named Lu Bode.

Wei Qing casually found a place, Huo Quzhi hurriedly followed, and all the generals also followed behind Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, Huo Quzhi asked Wei Qing at this time: "Uncle, why are you here?" And these soldiers and horses are? ”

Wei Qing explained: "Go to the sick, now that Beihu has invaded my hometown, the Tian family is just shrinking its forces, and it doesn't care about the life or death of other counties, how can I ignore it and sit back and watch my hometown being slaughtered?" I joined forces with several counties and townsmen to secretly lurk here, wanting to cut off the back road of this group of Hulu, and prepare to ambush them here!

If my expectations are correct, you were sent by General Bai Qi, and you have the same purpose as me! ”

"I can't hide anything from my uncle, and my purpose is the same, and I'm waiting for Bai Dudu to lead the army over!"

Huo Quzhi said excitedly: "Uncle, your talent nephew knows, it's better to let your nephew play the governor and recommend you to the lord, according to your talent, you will definitely be able to show your strength, not to mention that your nephew can now hold the position of a partial general..."

Wei Qing was a little silent, and Gongsun Ao on the side was a little anxious and stabbed Wei Qing with his elbow, Wei Qing said proudly: "His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is famous, and Qing has admired him for a long time, but how can he serve the Duke of Han empty-handed, and Qing is willing to take Xiji City for the Duke of Han to show his heart." ”

Huo Quzhi also said excitedly on the side: "Uncle, my nephew is willing to help my uncle!" ”
