To Liu Kuan's surprise, after Ma Teng and Han Sui received the holy decree of Emperor Han Xian, the two sides reconciled, Ma Teng sent his son Ma Chao, and Han Sui sent his son-in-law Yan Xing to each lead 5,000 cavalry to Luoyang to participate in the crusade against Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce officially announced his departure from Yuan Shu and wrote to his relatives who served under Yuan Shu to ask them to leave Yuan Shu. Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others abandoned Yuan Shu and defected to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce expelled Yuan Yin, the Danyang Taishou appointed by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu lost a large area of land such as Guangling and Jiangdong.

Sun Ce appointed Wu Jing as the Taishou of Danyang, Zhu Zhi as the Taishou of Wujun, Zhou Yu as the Taishou of Jiangxia as the Taishou of the Central Protector, Lü Fan as the Taishou of Guiyang, Cheng Pu as the Taishou of Lingling, Sun Ben as the Taishou of Yuzhang, Sun Fu as the Taishou of Luling, himself as the Taishou of Huiji, with Yu Fu as the Gong Cao, and Lu Su, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Chen Duan, etc. as strategists.

In addition, the generals Sun He, Xu Kun, Xu Yi, Huang Gai, Song Qian, He Qi, Dong Xi, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Quan Rou, Deng Dang, Lu Meng and others, Sun Ce knew how to make good use of people, and his subordinates were willing to be loyal. For a while, the forces chased after Liu Kuan.

In the winter of 197, due to a major drought, there was a large-scale famine in Jianghuai, and the tragedy of cannibalism could be seen everywhere.

Shu Shao, the minister of Yuan Shu, advised Yuan Shu to scatter grain to save the hungry people, but Yuan Shu was furious after hearing this and wanted to behead Shu Shao. Shu Shao said: "I know that I am going to die, and I know that I am going to die, and I still do this, because I am willing to exchange the life of one person for the lives of many people from the disaster." ”

Yuan Shu was very moved after hearing this, and took Shu Shao's hand and said, "Zhong Ying, does the public only care about enjoying the world's reputation for himself, and doesn't want to share it with me?" So he opened a position for small-scale disaster relief. However, it did not help in the overall situation, and then Yuan Shubu rebelled against Chen Lan and Lei Bo, looted grain and grass and ran to Lishan Mountain.

Knowing Sun Ce's series of measures and Ma Chao and Yan Xing's troops, Xun You, Xu Shu and others suggested that Liu Kuan immediately send troops.

Xun You said: "Yan Guogong, Sun Jian, Sun Ce are Jiangdong Tigers, quite popular, Yuan Shu people and gods are angry, if the people of Yuzhou and Yangzhou welcome Sun Ce, look at the wind and surrender, Yuzhou and Yangzhou are obtained by Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's power extends to Jiangbei, which will directly threaten my northern states, wedged into deep wood, and it is not easy to pull it out. As far as the strategy of the Northern Governor's Office is concerned, it is imperative to take Yuzhou and the northern part of Jingzhou in the north of the Yangtze River. If so, our northern governor's office can attack Jiangdong, Yizhou, and the south of Jingzhou, and retreat can be held according to the danger of the Yangtze River. If you don't take it, there is no way to talk about the policy of recuperation. "Fu Zhu, Zhang Zhao, and Xu Shu are all yes.

Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Liu Kuan said: "Time has changed, and it is indeed inappropriate to blindly adhere to the original strategy. Now the taxes of the northern states have been exhausted, and they must not increase their taxes in violation of laws and promises. How to fundraise? Ladies and gentlemen, in this troubled world, what are the pros and cons of the low tax policy? ”

Tian Feng was silent, got up and said: "Lord, why doubt yourself, at the beginning, Feng also thought that it was not appropriate to stick to the rules in troubled times, and tied his hands and feet. In the early days, low taxes did limit the development and use of troops in our army. However, in the near future, the population of our northern states has skyrocketed, all walks of life are thriving, and the governments of our states and counties are harmonious. It's a tough start, but once you start, there's no one to follow. The tree of hope in my north, once it passes the germination and growth period, will surely be a towering tree and a pillar of the Han Dynasty. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Tian Feng continued: "As for the money and grain, we can borrow from the big families and families in the states, according to my calculations, after two years, once the states are on the right track, the taxes of my northern states will be enough to repay and support the army for several years of war. ”

Fu Zhu then said: "Brother Yuan Hao is reasonable! The lord, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou will not send troops, but if the lord rebels against the righteousness and orders him to supply some money and grain in the name of His Majesty, the two will not dare to shirk. In addition, Sun Ce can be added to drum up his strength and stabilize his army, so that Sun Ce can attack Yuan Shu and contain most of Yuan Shu's army in the south of Yuzhou. Our army attacked from Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Luoyang and other places, and quickly occupied the counties and counties of Yuzhou. ”

In the medium term, it is imperative to unify the north of the Yangtze River, but now the incident is sudden, and it is imperative to march into Yuzhou. If Sun Ce attacks Yu and Yang, our army will launch a full-scale attack, and if Sun Ce's army does not attack, our northern states will wait and see what happens. Zhu Gong reported to me after formulating a strategy for sending troops, and Jia Xu and Chen Gong were not very familiar with many of my northern policies, so I asked Brother Yuan Hao to go to Luoyang to preside over the civil affairs of Sili and Yongzhou, so as to make sure that the political system of the northern states was consistent and quickly transplant our successful experience to the new land. ”

Liu Kuan said and took Tian Feng's hand, and continued: "Although Liu Tong has not reached the weak crown, he has been made a marquis, and I will give him the name of the national domain. I have written to reprimand him for his behavior of privately transferring troops, and asked him to worship Brother Yuan Hao as a teacher, Brother Yuan Hao, the dog is stubborn, and he can't be controlled, please be strict with my brother and nephew, please please! Liu Kuan said and bowed to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng hurriedly dodged sideways, "How dare Feng accept the lord's gift and assist the son, Feng has his own responsibility." Childe is smart, and Feng must try his best to teach his studies! ”

Tian Feng was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that Liu Kuan didn't mind that he was Yuan Shao's old department, and he was a later person, but he never thought that he would surpass Xun Yu, Xun You and other old departments in Youzhou and become the teacher of the "prince".

Not long after, Liu Kuan made Liu Xie on the table, named Sun Ce as the general of the Ming and Han dynasties, attacked his father Marquis Wucheng, and concurrently served as the chief inspector. Tian Feng came to Luoyang with the seal and Liu Kuan's order.

Liu Kuan once wanted to accept Xun Yu's suggestion to move the Governor's Mansion to Luoyang, but Xun You, Xu Shu, Fu Zhu and other members of the military aircraft unanimously opposed it. The reason is that after the Military Machinery Department of the Governor's Office and the Sixth Ministry were relocated to Luoyang, they clashed with the central authorities, were nondescript, and everything was restricted, and it was the current need to stay away from the emperor. Liu Kuan felt justified and agreed, and asked Tian Feng to go to Luoyang to form the Luoyang Military Aircraft Department with Jia Xu and Chen Gong to deal with military and political affairs.

Half a year later, Liu Bei escorted Tian Feng and others to Luoyang. Tian Feng summoned Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others to formally announce Liu Kuan's appointment, set up a military aircraft department in Luoyang Liufu, expressed Zhang Xiu as the history of Yongzhou Assassin, Xuan Weihou, appointed Zhang Jaw as the general of Yongzhou, Gao Shun as the general of Sili, removed Liu Tongzhong from the post of protector, appointed Liu Bei as the central protector, and commanded the Luoyang Praetorian Guard. The Sixth Group Army was established, with Wu Qiu Jian as the commander of the group army, and Zhang Jaw, Gao Shun, and Zhao Zhao as each commander.

What made Liu Kuan fail was that Sun Ce did not attack Yuzhou after being appointed, but continued to attack Guangzhou and Jiaozhi under the advice of Zhang Hong and Zhou Yu.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou refused to provide grain and grass on the grounds of blocked roads and Zhang Lu's invasion, while Liu Biao asked the imperial court to crusade against Sun Ce, who was attacking Jingzhou, and also refused to provide grain and grass.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing did not provide them with food and grass because of Zhang Xiu and Zhang Jaw in Chang'an, and because the two hated each other and had constant friction, they fought and broke up unhappily after they arrived outside Chang'an City.

Liu Tong was reprimanded by Liu Kuan's letter, Tian Feng grounded Liu Tong, and studied Confucian classics in Liu's mansion every day, mainly in the Book of Changes, Spring and Autumn Period, Shangshu, and Book of Poetry, and Tian Feng also taught a lot of military books and political content.

Liu Kuan was forced by public opinion to send troops, Zang Ba and Badun were defeated by Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui in Qiaoxian County, Wuqiu Jian, Zhao Zhao, and Gao Shun sent troops to Yingchuan, which was blocked by Ji Ling and Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang designed, and sent Yuan Jian to burn the grain and grass of the Sixth Army, and Wuqiu Jian was in a dilemma.

Due to the drought in the north and the reduced harvest, the Northern Governor's Office opposed the sending of troops and continued to recuperate gradually gained the upper hand. Since Sun Ce did not threaten the north of the Yangtze River, Liu Kuan hesitated and ordered Zang Ba and others to hold on, while he led his entourage back to Yecheng.

However, he said that after Liu Tong was dismissed from his post in the army, he reflected on his reading every day, which was very boring.

Liu informed that Liu Kuan was a graduate of law in later generations, and he paid great attention to the value of procedures, although he led troops into Luoyang, and controlled Sili and other places, and even controlled the imperial court represented by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but he privately transferred troops, which obviously violated the military system of the Northern Governor's Office. No matter how much achievements have been made in substance, the mistake of the procedure is a big mistake and violates Liu Kuan's bottom line.

However, Liu Tong has an excellent memory, he was a scholar in his previous life, compared to the amount of knowledge in later generations, Professor Tian Feng's content is still relatively small, Liu Tong learns very easily, and Wu Ji is better than death.

Tian Feng and Liu Tong have been dating for a short time, although they have heard of Liu Tong's bravery, but they don't know that they are so knowledgeable and strong, and their comprehension is outstanding, they are very surprised, and they are more convinced that Liu Tong is Liu Kuan's heir, and their requirements for Liu Tong are stricter.

Liu Tong hates the rigidity of ancient texts, and even hates the recitation over and over again, which is very boring. Hearing that Wuqiu Jian was blocked in Yingchuan, Liu Tong escaped from Liu's mansion by climbing over the wall under Wu Ji's prodding. Because the red rabbit horse was in the stable of Liu's mansion, Liu Tong and Wu Ji did not dare to go back to the house to ride horses and get weapons, so they had to buy two horses in Luoyang City and go to Yingchuan.
