On the way to retreat to Youzhou led by Gongsun Zhan, he met Liu Yu and the reinforcements he brought.

"Let Bo Qi suffer...... Liu Yu looked at the miserable appearance of Gongsun Zhan and his troops, and suddenly said with a sigh.

"Liu Yuanjun doesn't have to be like this." Hearing this, Gongsun Chan replied respectfully. After some politeness, the group returned to Youzhou.

Although he was ordered by the emperor to quell the rebellion, the first thing Liu Yu did after taking office was not to gather troops to attack Qiu Liju, on the contrary, his first thing was to streamline the troops, in short, disarmament!

"Liu Yuanjun! Now the enemy army has tens of thousands of soldiers, but the envoy wants to be disarmed?! Gongsun Chan looked at Liu Yu with some anger and asked. After all, although Gongsun Chan was a Zhonglang general, he was restrained by Liu Yu in the orders of the imperial court.

But at this moment, Gongsun Zhan couldn't care about it, because he really couldn't accept Liu Yu's order. In his view, not only should we not disarm at this time, but we should continue to recruit troops.

"Bo Jue, I know your concerns, but the downsizing of the troops is not the disbanding of the troops. It's just to get rid of the old and young in the army. In this way, not only will the combat effectiveness of the troops not decrease, but on the contrary, it will increase! Moreover, by reducing the number of personnel, more money can be saved to equip soldiers and govern the area. Liu Yu was not angry because of Gongsun Zhan's questioning, but explained with a smile.

"But......" Gongsun Zhan wanted to say something more when he heard this, but was directly interrupted by Liu Yu.

"O Bo Jue...... You also know that Youzhou has always been inferior to other states in terms of economy and agriculture, and since the rebellion of Qiu Liju and others, many military salaries have to rely on Jizhou to supply. This...... It's not a long-term way......" Liu Yu looked at Gongsun Chan and said with a smile, but although his smile did not change, his tone revealed a kind of prestige that was difficult to refuse.

Soon, Liu Yu officially ordered the troops to be streamlined, and all soldiers who did not meet the standards were dismissed. At the same time, Liu Yu also widely implemented benevolent governance, reduced taxes and rents, etc., and immediately won the support of a large number of people in Youzhou. However, Liu Yu did not forget the real purpose of his visit.

So, on the one hand, he sent Gongsun Zan to lead the army to be stationed in Youbeiping, to maintain pressure on Qiu Liju, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and others, and at the same time sent people to issue wanted notices, but on the wanted notices, there were only Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. He also sent envoys to the rebels in various places, telling them that as long as they surrendered, the court would be lenient.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Youzhou shook, especially the western part of Liaoxi, where Qiu Liju and others were located.

"Shan Yu! That Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju had already escaped overnight! A Wuhuan general reported respectfully.

"Humph! They're running so fast! Qiu Liju snorted coldly when he heard this, and then he didn't say much, and directly sent someone to Jixian County to ask Liu Yu to surrender.

Yes, Qiu Liju was intimidated, and when he learned that Liu Yu was appointed as the pastor of Youzhou, he was completely intimidated. Because Liu Yu's fame in Youzhou was too great in the past, and from the decrees issued by Liu Yu during this time, Qiu Liju also felt a strong sense of crisis. Because compared to Gongsun Zhan, who only knows how to confront him head-to-head, Qiu Liju is more afraid of Liu Yu's soft knife.

He just spread a piece of news, so that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju fled outside the Saiwai, if Qiu Liju did not surrender, would Liu Yu also want him? If that is the case, will there be anyone among the Wuhuan who will come to exchange his head for peace? In Qiu Liju's opinion, this is a very possible thing. After all...... He is also just a single Yu of Wuhuan, not the leader of all the tribes of Wuhuan as a whole.

In fact, he had received a lot of news that many of the leaders of the tribes under his command were already trying to contact Liu Yu.

It's just that what makes Qiu Liju and the others strange is that none of the envoys sent out have an echo. It wasn't until several times later that they realized that it was Gongsun Chan who was making trouble.

None.

"I see, please reply to Shan Yu, their request to surrender to the state on behalf of the imperial court accepted." Liu Yu said lightly.

And after the Hu envoy left, Liu Yu's face sank suddenly, "This Gongsun Zhan, how can it be unreasonable to assassinate the envoy who came to ask for surrender for the sake of merit?!" Does he still have Honshu in his eyes? Is there still a court?! Liu Yu was rarely furious. Because in his opinion, Gongsun Zhan's behavior is too much.

Hearing this, Dong Cao Peng Wei Yu on the side hurriedly persuaded, "Lord, although that Gongsun Zhan has a small evil, no matter his civil and military talents, he is a big help for the lord to govern Youzhou and pacify the thieves!" The white horse under his command is as terrifying as the flying cavalry. In the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to mention him and let him know what the lord means. ”

"Hmm......" Hearing this, Liu Yu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, just like Shou'an's words." ”

Liu Yu did not report the matter to the imperial court, but directly reduced the troops under Gongsun Zan to 10,000. This is undoubtedly a reminder to Gongsun Chan to tell him his location. But obviously, this incident made Gongsun Chan very dissatisfied.

And in the state, outside the city.

An army of 30,000 people was neatly lined up outside the city, but it was a flying cavalry army led by Lu Bu. Last year, Li Yi gave Lu Bu a year to train, and today, a year has passed, and it's time to go out and hunt.

Perhaps, for a cavalry, one year of training is too short, even if the training methods of the flying cavalry battalion are extremely harsh, and the soldiers are carefully selected. But Li Yi couldn't let them train slowly, after all, in his opinion, time was running out.

And, in this day and age, what kind of training is more effective than actually fighting on the battlefield? No! Only soldiers who have experienced blood and fire can become the true elite. This kind of growth through fighting is incomparable to no amount of training.

"Fengxian, and all of you, this glass of wine, I wish you a full return!" Li Yi held the wine glass and said loudly to everyone.

"Please rest assured!"

"Please rest assured!"

Lu Bu and the 30,000 flying cavalry also held wine glasses in both hands, looking at Li Yigong and shouting.

The sound shook the sky, causing countless onlookers to be excited, what could be happier than seeing such a strong army in the place where they lived?

As soon as he drank it all, he saw Lu Bu drop the wine glass in his hand directly to the ground, turn over and get on his horse, "Let's go!" He shouted, and headed out of the plug.

Ten thousand horses galloped, bringing up thick smoke, Li Yi just watched the flying cavalry disappear in his eyes, and after a long while, he ordered helplessly, "Come on, clean up the cup on the ground......

Well...... 30,000 wine glasses, no matter how rich Li Yi is, he can't just throw them away.
