Chapter 14 Youzhou Mu Liu Yu

At this time, Youzhou Mu is the Han clan Liu Yu, Liu Yu this person has great talent, in 187 A.D. (four years of Zhongping), the former Zhongshan Minister Zhang Chun, the former Taishan Taishou Zhang Ju and Wuhuan Alliance, launched a rebellion, attacked to the thistle, burned the city, captured the people, killed the Wuhuan school captain Ji Chou, the right Beiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yang Zhong, etc., the army reached more than 100,000, and lived in Feiru. Zhang Ju called himself the "Son of Heaven", and Zhang Chun called himself "General Mitian and the King of Anding", and passed the book to various states and counties, saying that he would replace the Han Dynasty. Zhang Chun also sent 50,000 troops including King Wuhuan Qiao to enter the two prefectures of Qingdao and Hebei, break through the Qinghe River and the plains, and kill the officials. The following year, because of Liu Yu's high prestige in the north, the imperial court appointed him again as the pastor of Youzhou. Liu Yu arrived in Jicheng, streamlined the troops, widely distributed favors, and sent envoys to tell King Qiao and others that the court would be lenient, so that they could be exempted from the responsibility for their crimes, and a reward was offered for the wanted Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. The two fled to the outside of the Seychelles, and the rest surrendered or fled. Zhang Chun was killed by his subordinate Wang Zheng, and his head was sent to Liu Yu. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to promote Liu Yu to the rank of lieutenant and seal the Marquis of Qiu.

Youzhou was originally a poor state, and it needed Qingdao and Hebei prefectures to subsidize official expenses, but at that time, due to the war and traffic cutoff, it was impossible to dispatch money. Liu Yu earned income from trading with foreigners in the open Shanggu market and mining the salt and iron ore in Yuyang, which led to the exile of more than a million people from Xuzhou, Qingzhou, where they lived and worked in peace and contentment.

From the above, Liu Yu is a capable minister, but he is still a loyal minister loyal to the Han family.

In 189 A.D. (the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty), Dong Zhuo dictated the power and sent an envoy to grant Liu Yu the Great Sima and enter the title of Marquis of Xiangben.

In 190 A.D. (the first year of the first peace), Dong Zhuo named Liu Yu as the prince and recruited him to return to the dynasty to serve, but the road was blocked, and the appointment could not be reached. Liu Yu pursued leniency in Youzhou, persuaded the people to farm, opened the Hu market in Shanggu, and developed the salt and iron industry in Yuyang, so that the people were happy and accumulated a lot of grain. In order to escape the Yellow Turban Rebellion, more than 1 million scholars and people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou came to Liu Yu to defect to Liu Yu, and they were all taken in and arranged to work. Although Liu Yu is a high-ranking official at the third public level, he is thrifty by nature, wears shabby clothes, and does not eat more than one meat dish at a meal. The wealthy families who originally had a luxurious style near and far were all influenced by him to change their atmosphere.

At first, Gongsun Zhan was ordered to conquer Wuhuan and was subject to Liu Yu's temperance. Gongsun Chan only paid attention to the strength of his troops and allowed his subordinates to harass the people, while Liu Yu paid attention to benevolence and cared for the people, so conflicts gradually appeared between him and Gongsun Zhan.

In 191 A.D. (the second year of the first peace), Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, and the generals of Shandong discussed, because the emperor was young and controlled by Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu, who wanted to establish Liu Yu, a relative of the Han family, as the new emperor, but Liu Yu resolutely refused; So Han Fu and others asked Liu Yu to receive the Shangshu again, so that everyone could be crowned officials according to the system, but Liu Yu refused again. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was robbed to Chang'an, wanted to return eastward, and Liu Yu's son Liu He was serving by the emperor's side at that time, so the emperor sent him to sneak out of Wuguan and go to Liu Yu to ask him to bring troops to rescue. Liu He passed through Nanyang, was detained by Yuan Shu with ulterior motives, and sent other envoys to find Liu Yu, saying that they would send troops west to pick up Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yu then sent thousands of cavalry to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu himself stayed behind and refused to send them.

At first, Gongsun Chan saw that Yuan Shu was cheating and resolutely stopped Liu Yu from sending troops, but Liu Yu did not listen, so Gongsun Chan secretly sent people to persuade Yuan Shu to detain Liu He and annex the troops sent by Liu Yu. After Liu Yu learned about it, the grudge between him and Gongsun Zhan deepened. Soon, Liu He found an opportunity to escape north from Yuan Shuna, but was detained by Yuan Shao again. At that time, Gongsun Chan had been defeated by Yuan Shao many times, and he was constantly attacking. Liu Yu thought that Gongsun Zhan was too reckless, and was afraid that he would not be able to control it after he succeeded, so he did not allow him to send troops again, and slightly weakened his authority. Gongsun Chan was furious, repeatedly violated orders, and began to invade the people again. Liu Yu was ready to reward the nomads with goods, but was robbed by Gongsun Chan many times, Liu Yu could not stop it, so he reported to the court to tell Gongsun Chan about the crime of plundering the people, and Gongsun Chan also reported that Liu Yu was not doing well, and the two accused each other, and the court was unable to deal with it. Gongsun Zhan did not repair the city to guard against Liu Yu. Liu Yu invited Gongsun Zhan several times, but he said that he was sick and couldn't come, so Liu Yu conspired to recruit him.

However, although Liu Yu's political ability is very outstanding, his ability to lead troops is far inferior to Gongsun Zhan, and he was finally defeated and killed.

Outside Jicheng, a group of 500 cavalry appeared, and the officers and soldiers of Jicheng immediately closed the city gate and took precautions.

"Big brother, this Liu Yu is not like a word, you came over at the emperor's order, and he still shut us out." Zhang Fei muttered.

"Shut up, Liu Youzhou is dedicated to the imperial court, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and although I received the holy decree to listen to the order, Liu Youzhou didn't know it, and it was right to be prepared." Yao Jie glared at Zhang Fei and said.

After the three of them got married that day, Zhang Fei sold all the property in his family and went north with Yao Jie.

Guan Zhang and the others were named captains by Yao Jie, and everyone in the army was dissatisfied at first, but after being beaten, they were naturally convinced.

Yao Jie rode forward and said loudly: "I am the general Yao Jie of the Han Dynasty, and I was ordered to come to Liu Youzhou's tent to listen to the tune and quickly open the city gate." ”

"The general will wait for a while, and Liu Youzhou will arrive later." City Gate Minor School Road.

Soon Liu Yu came to the city wall, and after looking at it, Yao Jie said, "Where is the holy decree?" ”

A basket was put down on the city wall, Yao Jie took out the holy decree and put it in the basket, Liu Yu looked at the holy decree and said: "Open the city gate, but you can only bring ten guards into the city." ”

Yao Jie said: "The last general will obey the order." In fact, it is not difficult to understand that at this time, the soldiers and bandits are not separated, and Liu Yu, who loves the people, will naturally not agree to let his army enter the city.

Yao Jie ordered everyone to camp on the spot, and then took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and several guards into the city to meet Liu Yu.

On the Youzhou Pastoral Mansion, "The last general Yao Jie visited Liu Youzhou." Yao Jie saluted.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and several soldiers did not go in with Yao Jie because their level was too low.

"General Yao doesn't have to be polite, in the future, you will be stationed outside Jicheng and obey the order at any time." Liu Yu was not interested in Yao Jie, mainly because he heard that Yao Jie was recommended to Emperor Han Ling by Zhang Rang, and felt that Yao Jie did not have too strong ability, but relied on slipping whiskers to take the position, although he also heard that Yao Jie defeated Wang Yue, but Liu Yu didn't believe it very much, and only felt that it was a false rumor.

Soon Yao Jie went back to the barracks, and when he saw Liu Yu's attitude towards him, he was depressed, he didn't seem to have offended the other party, how did he feel that Liu Yu didn't want to see him.
