Taizu has a poem: Heavy rain falls on Youyan. Youyan refers to Youzhou, Gaine was the location of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States - Yan State, and Jixian County was the capital of Yan State. After the Three Kingdoms, there were countless kings and founders in Yandi, and the most accomplished one was, of course, Ming Chengzu - Zhu Di. The Yongle Emperor was crowned King Yan at the beginning, and he was not convinced that his son Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen, and launched the Battle of Jingjing, raising troops to attack Emperor Jianwen. After driving his nephew out of Nanjing, he moved the capital to Beijing. The city of Beijing was built in the hands of the Yongle Emperor.

Of course, Liu Ze is familiar with this history, and he also came with this idea for the expansion of Jixian County. It's just that in terms of scale, Liu Ze doesn't know how to compare it with the capital built by Emperor Zhu Di, but he just thinks that he can do what he can, not the bigger the better, but it also surprised Huang Chengyan.

Zhang Yan returned to Shun, and Liu Ze personally met Zhang Yan and his subordinates. On the spot, Zhang Yan Guangchang Marquis, General Pingnan, and the old department was still under his command. Zhao Yun had a lot of contacts with Zhang Yan during this time, and said on the side: "General Zhang Yan, my brother has a reluctant request, I don't know if to say it?" Zhang Yan also admires Zhao Yun, a fellow countryman, who is humble, not arrogant or impatient, and he didn't say anything about martial arts, he didn't survive twenty moves under the hands of others, so he was still merciful to others.

Zhang Yan said: "Brother Zilong, between you and me, what can't you say?" Zhao Yun's eyes were calm, he looked at Zhang Yan and said, "My lord once said: Soldiers are not expensive. It's not that the brothers are troublesome, although there are more than 300,000 capable fighters under Brother Zhang's command, how is the combat power? Big Brother knows it well. Why not streamline the soldiers, train strictly, 100,000 elites, and get it in a blink of an eye. Zhao Yun said straightforwardly, because he was afraid that Zhang Yan would misunderstand, thinking that as soon as he returned to obedience, he would cut off other people's military power, so he said it from the standpoint of a brother. Zhang Yan has seen what Jizhou soldiers are during this time, and look at the soldiers who are majestic and high-spirited, with strict military discipline and high combat power, there can only be one word: service. Two words: real service.

Lu Su was afraid that Zhang Yan would misunderstand, so he said on the side: "General Zhang Yan, Zilong is refreshing, and he has no other intentions. 100,000 elites are comparable to 300,000 old and weak soldiers, rather than empty food and salary, it is better to choose the best and stronger. Zhang Yan smiled: "Mr. Zijing is the real misunderstanding." What the Zilong brothers said was deeply insightful. Ming Gong is here, Yan is willing to choose the strong and strict. and disarmed 200,000 soldiers and returned to the field. Liu Ze said with a smile: "It's not that the general has just arrived, and his military power will be reduced." Jizhou has always been dominated by elite soldiers and does not raise idle soldiers. Raising a pawn costs ten households. 200,000 soldiers were disarmed and returned to the fields, and the grain and grass produced could provide 50,000 elite soldiers. Lu Su said with a smile: "The so-called elite soldiers of a hundred battles come from the battle array. In the future, when the army goes south, all the generals will rely on their abilities to collect the elite, and the Ming Duke will never shorten your grain and grass. Zhang Yan and his subordinate Xiaoshuai laughed happily when they saw that Lu Su said something interesting.

To be promoted to the throne, the procedures required are extremely cumbersome, and Liu Ze doesn't understand it, so he just leaves it to his subordinates. Cai Yong heard that Liu Xie was dead, cried a lot, and talked to Qiao Xuan in private, feeling that Liu Ze should take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne as the emperor and continue the Han Zuo, Qiao Xuan was sleek, unlike Cai Yong old-fashioned, comforted Cai Yong and said: "Uncle, we are old, our children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be cattle and horses with your children and grandchildren." You, lecturing, idle, teasing your grandson, and enjoying endless blessings, why bother about Rundong's affairs? Cai Yong was speechless and unhappy by Qiao Xuan's words.

Zou Dan did not disgrace his mission, almost the whole village of Liujiazhuang came, Liu Ze ran out of Jixian County for more than 30 miles, greeted his family, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined. Crossing alone, the family affection of the people of Liujiazhuang made Liu Ze really unforgettable. When relatives come, of course, they treat each other with good wine.

When Liu Hu saw Liu Ze, the tall man cried and whined, and the brotherhood of more than ten years was released to the fullest. Liu Ze also had tears in his eyes, hugging Liu Hu, and couldn't help comforting him.

Lu Su had already chosen a piece of plastered land for the people of Liujia Village to cultivate, and the houses and daily use were properly prepared. No matter what era, the leader's affairs, the subordinates will try their best to arrange it, listen to it, and share the worries of the leader; It's hard to hear, hehe, we all get it.

Seeing this, Zang Ba couldn't help but feel secretly sad, Liu Ze caught a glimpse of it, and called Zang Ba over, "Xuan Gao sees that I have a deep brotherly relationship, do you think of the old brothers?" Zang Ba Shandong Lu Hanzi, nodding when he heard this, the corners of his eyes were moist, Liu Ze hammered Zang Ba and said, "Go and ask Zou Dan, when will Brother Taishan arrive?" "Ming Gong, what did you say?" Zang Ba's eyes widened. "Xuan Gao, Xuan Gao, is it stupid?" Zang Ba jumped high and went to find Zou Dan.

The autumn breeze is blowing, and winter is here again. The bigwigs of all parties in Jizhou will meet in Jixian County.

Liu Ze had no choice, he also wanted to choose a sunny day, but only when the cold winter came, it was not appropriate for the princes to mobilize their armies, and the situation was relatively stable. Liu Ze saw this, so he spared no effort to arm his troops. Soldiers wear fur furs, live in felt tents, and look at the world, which prince can do it?

On the first day, Liu Ze sacrificed heaven and earth, the temple, ascended the altar, Xun Yu read the documents, and burned them to tell the sky. Liu Ze fought with an axe and a sword, holding a knot, and holding a ribbon. Licheng, the world is called the king of Yan, with the majesty of the king.

When Cao Cao saw Liu Ze claiming to be the king, he was unwilling and asked his subordinates. Cheng Yu said: "The Duke of Ming was the first to advocate volunteers, fought in the east and west, and his achievements were world-famous, and he should be promoted to the throne." Dong Zhao said: "In the autumn of this year, the Duke of Ming should first conquer Luoyang, and then conquer Lu Bu, mix a land, and peep at Jing Yang, it is really not suitable to be called the king." Cao Cao suddenly woke up, "It's not a public word, and it's a big mistake." "Therefore, we are ready to fight in the spring.

Liu Ze was promoted to the king of Yan, so he naturally wanted to be called a lonely widow, which made Liu Ze speechless, lonely and widowed, is it very good? Alas, helpless.

As Yu Fuluo grew old and felt more and more unwell, he hurriedly wrote a letter to his son Hu Chuquan, asking him to return and accept Shan Yu's position. Hu Chuquan said to Liu Ze for leave, and Liu Ze said: "Yu Fuluo is seriously ill, and the general returns, and he will do his filial piety." The southern expedition of spring is imminent, and he is trying to borrow more generals, but he can command 5,000 men and horses, go and return quickly. "Qi's eyes are white, Lao Tzu is bringing 100,000 horses, okay? I'm going back to take over Shan Yu, how can I come back to help you fight? The situation is not as good as people, 5,000 people don't want it, if Liu Ze turns his face and clicks himself, everything will become a phantom. Hu Chuquan swallowed his anger and led 5,000 men and horses to rush to the Hetao.

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said, "King, there is a feasible plan. "The king? Liu Ze secretly said that this is playing poker? said: "Mr. Wenhe, what is the best plan? Jia Xu said: "Why not so." Liu Ze smiled: "Mr. will arrange it himself." ”

Qubei and Yu Fuluo are also very close to each other, and they were drinking in the cowhide tent on this day, and the attendant came to report: "The holy decree of the Luoyang Emperor has arrived." He was surprised and asked, "The holy decree from Luoyang?" Exactly? The attendant said: "The person who came claimed to be in the edict of the Great Wei Emperor wanted to reward the Right Xian King." "Go to humility and rejoice," Hurry up, please. After a while, a chubby, white-faced and beardless eunuch came in, and said in a male duck voice: "Go and take the order!" "Go to the humble road, his grandmother drops, what kind of emperor are you Yuan Shao, Lao Tzu will listen to what you say first. So he said loudly: "If you have something to say, don't delay Lao Tzu's kung fu." The eunuch did not think it was a pestle, but made up his mind, unfolded the edict and read: "I was shocked to hear that Yu Fu Luo was seriously ill, and I was overwhelmed with grief. The right virtuous king is humble, superhuman, and brave. The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and he is specially ordered to take over the position of Shan Yu, so as to settle the place and always be the Great Wei State. Chin this. "I'm going to Beile, Hu Chuquan is leading the troops outside, and I don't know how many 100,000 horses are left? Lao Tzu has 30,000 feet in his hands, and Yu Fuluo has less than 20,000 horses, the so-called what to send first, what to send later, Lao Tzu with the holy decree, first made a single Yu and then said, when the time comes, forgive you for calling the kitchen spring and have nothing to say.

When the eunuch saw that he was going to be humble and fornicating, he said loudly: "Go and accept the decree." "Go and wake up, this holy decree should be received, it must be received. He knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Go and take the order." The eunuch changed his smiling face, took Qubei's hands, shouted and asked for warmth, and told Emperor Yuan Shao that he attached great importance to Qubei, and hoped that after Qubei took over the throne, he would have a good relationship with Dawei, and Dawei would spare no effort to support it. Go to Humility in a hurry, grandma, you go quickly, Lao Tzu will go to Yu Fuluo's place, and first bring Shan Yu's honor guard, seal ribbon, and people and horses.

The eunuch finally left, and couldn't wait to lead the men and horses to Yuvro's big tent, and took out the holy decree, bluffing Yuvro's guards were stunned, and Yuvro saw that he went to Bela to make a tiger skin, but the guards didn't move, rolled their eyes, and turned their backs.

Hu Chuquan came to the king's tent, and saw that he was sitting in the tent with humility, and couldn't help but be stunned, and when he saw Hu Chuquan arrive, he cried loudly: "Brother, why did you come, Lao Shan Yu has been going to Changsheng for half a day." Hu Chuquan's tears flowed down his eyes, and he threw himself on Yu Fuluo and cried loudly, and went to humble himself and said: "Brother, Emperor Luoyang issued an order to let me do the position of Shan Yu for my brother." After saying that, he took out the holy decree, Hu Chuquan didn't even look at it, and said loudly: "My people are all within the power of Liu Rundong's army, Yuan Shao is the puppet emperor, what is his holy decree for?" He humbly said: "Of course it's useless for you, but for me, it's very useful." He said: "How can Emperor Yuan also be the emperor of the Han Emperor's throne, that is, orthodox." Our people have been attached to the Han Dynasty and have always acted according to the emperor's will. Hu Chuquan saw that the guards in the tent were all unfamiliar faces, and knew that Qubei had already controlled the overall situation, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they had to bow to Qubei and pay homage to Shan Yu.

As soon as he was happy, he was a little careless, Hu Chuquan borrowed urine to escape and quit Shan Yu's big tent, turned over on the war horse, and went to Bei's guards to intercept him, Hu Chuquan glared and shouted: "I am an old single parent, who dares to stop me?" The guards were stunned for a moment, Hu Chuquan ran to the front of the five thousand soldiers and horses, and immediately commanded the men and horses to attack and inferior.

When he heard that Hu Chuquan had fled, he hurriedly gathered his men. Although the 5,000 men and horses of Huchuquan were fierce, they couldn't help but go to the humble people, so they had to fight their way out of the encirclement and return to Jixian County.

Liu Ze was also generous, and when he heard Hu Chuquan's cry, he paused again and again, and handed over Hu Chuquan's 80,000 horses to Hu Chuquan. Hu Chuquan didn't say a word, and led the soldiers to kill back.

After discussing with Xi Zhicai and others, Liu Ze decided to take Wang Cang as the pastor of Jizhou and Zou Dan as the grassland envoy, and let Liu Ye come to Jixian County to participate in the secret. Liu Ze secretly arranged for Liu Hu to set up a secret guard system, which was directly led by Liu Ze. Several of Zang Ba's elder brothers, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, and Sun Kang, were sent to Jizhou and the grassland, either to guard the county, or to lead soldiers and horses.

Liu Ze summoned Zhuge Liang and talked secretly all night, Zhuge Liang understood and rushed to Sanhan.

Hu Chuquan came to the Hetao, and fought for power with Qubei, there were only 50,000 troops in Qubei, how to compete with Huchuquan, and was directly driven out of the Hetao by Huchuquan and defected to Yuan Shao. Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong saw that Qubei led 30,000 horses to cross the border, how could they be polite. Under the encirclement and interception of Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, Qubei hurried like a lost dog, leading more than 3,000 people to Luoyang.

When I arrived in Luoyang, I found that I was inexplicably deceived, not only lost the position of the right virtuous king, but also lost all the people and horses, I really wanted to cry without tears, I couldn't help but be depressed, and my body slowly fell ill.

Liu Ze urged Hu Chuquan to lead the troops to help the battle, and Hu Chuquan used the excuse that the overall situation in the clan was unstable and he could not personally lead the troops, so he sent his cronies and led 30,000 horses to Jixian County.
