Three days later, Yanmen, Yin Pavilion.

Guan Yu and Jia Xu passed the letter of victory to Liu Fan.

After Liu Fan read the letter. Immediately send someone to invite Xun You.

"Strategist, please look!"

Liu Fan handed the letter to Xun You, his face uncertain.

Xun You read it carefully and said to Liu Fan: "Some time ago, it was known that Dingxiang and Yunzhongfu were restored. I concluded that the Xiongnu would not dare to fight, so please order the Right Army Division and General Fenwei to cross the Yellow River and threaten Nanting. Now it has been fulfilled, and the river has been recovered! ”

After the recovery of Dingxiang and Yunzhong, the order to cross the Yellow River and go to Wuyuan County was given by Liu Fan.

Liu Fan has great trust in Guan Yu, Jia Xu, and Xu Huang, and he can't fight with strength, and he can fight wisely.

"Qiangqu is too whimsical. How can it be so easy to kidnap our people, enter our land, and vainly hope to erase years of hatred with a blood alliance? I cut off his head, and then hang his house, ridiculous? ”

Liu Fan sneered.

"The General, the Right Division, and I all know that this is an expedient measure. The affairs of Shuofang and Wuyuan can be ordered to be implemented. Xun You's face was indifferent, and he replied to Liu Fan.

"The soldiers use their lives, and the ministers work hard, so that I, Liu Shimin, can live up to Your Majesty's expectations. I immediately wrote to Your Majesty to bring good news. Recommend virtuous ministers and govern the four counties. I asked His Majesty to give me the right to recruit soldiers and garrison the border fortress, so that the Hu people would not dare to go south. ”

Liu Fan looked up to the sky and said, and there was some inexplicable excitement in his heart.

That place that can be called the place that plugged the south of the Yangtze River is now in full view of him.

"In this way, the general must choose the right person! If it doesn't work, Chen Ji and Chen Chen can be in charge, they all know me in the same county, I know them very well, the Chen brothers have both ability and political integrity, and they can learn from Chen Taiqiu and deal with the affairs of a county, which is more than enough for them. And the two of them attach great importance to kindness. ”

Xun You recommended to Liu Fan.

Xun You knew that the two of them had been filial piety to Chen Yu in Yingchuan, and the imperial court had been unable to conquer it many times.

"Chen Ji and Chen Chen have been in their lives for the most years, with rich experience, maturity and stability. As a celebrity, I praise Chen Ji as the Taishou of Wuyuan and Chen Chen as the Taishou of the clouds. What do the four military advisors who traveled with him, Guan Ning, Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, and Wang Wei, think? ”

Liu Fan agreed with Xun You's recommendation. He didn't know much about Chen Ji and Chen Chen.

Because in history, the footprints left by these two people are not very obvious.

Chen Ji, Chen Chen, Guan Ning, Hua Xin and others came to Yanmen in a very low-key manner.

When Liu Fan received the news, he personally went to meet them and rewarded them with a batch of gold, silver and jewelry. To show the heart of love.

But none of them accepted the gold, silver, and jewelry, and all of them were pushed back. This made Liu Fan appreciate their morality.

"Ru Ying is a talented man", the words that are widely spread in this era, not to mention the people respected by Xun You, Liu Fan has also understood the talents of Chen Ji and Chen Chen, which can be reused.

Chen Ji has a son named Chen Qun, who is a very well-known political figure in Chinese history.

The father is himself, can the son run away? Liu Fan still has this plan.

Compared with Chen Ji and Chen Chen, Liu Fan knows a little more about Guan Ning and Hua Xin.

A university scholar who was among the best in the late Han Dynasty, and an honest official who was talented with three princes.

"These people are not from Ruying and Nanyang, I only know that Guan Ning is talented, and I don't know much about the others." Xun You said truthfully.

"The Yin Pavilion Order resigns, and there is no one in the Yin Pavilion County Guard, so I let Wang Wei do the Yin Pavilion Order. Guan Ning is recommended as the long history of Dingxiang, and Bing Yuan is the county of Dingxiang. Juhuaxin is the long history in the clouds, and the whole country is the county in the clouds. ”

"There are talents in the court, I raise Tian Feng as Shuo Fang Taishou, Cui Jun as Shuo Fang Juncheng, Zheng Tai as Shuo Fang Changshi, raise the seed series as Wuyuan Changshi, raise He Yan as Wuyuan Juncheng, recommend Cui Jun as the right middle Lang general, Fu Xie as the left middle Lang general, garrison in Hetao,"

Liu Fan appointed the important officials of the four counties in one go.

He really has no one to use, so he will select officials in such a general way.

Although he admires Kaike very much, he is a hussar general, and Yanmen is too guarded, and he has no reason!

If he really held an imperial examination in Yanmen, those families and ministers who had supported him would definitely not support him anymore.

The Son of Heaven is still there, the court is still there, and that is a big violation of the world.

During the period when Liu Fan recorded Shangshushi, he transferred many talented people to various counties as officials. Such as Sima Zhi, Yang Xu, Zhao Wen, etc.

There were other loyal ministers and righteous people in the imperial court, but Liu Fan didn't know much about it.

Tian Feng, Chongji, He Hao, Zheng Tai, Fu Xie, and Cui Jun brothers have deep contact with him.

The military power of the four counties of Hetao is all in his hands, and he has nothing to worry about.

He also knew that there was a word called "water comes naturally", and these people were attached to their own rule, and they could govern the people in peace and contentment.

He will do what he does to make enemies.

Hearing Liu Fan's name and the official position he appointed, Xun You nodded.

"General, Xun You thinks that when 20,000 cavalry are recruited again in Bingzhou and the displaced people, and sent to Wuyuan and Shuofang for training, in the land between the rivers, it will be difficult to deter those dissenting hearts without strong enough troops."

Xun You thought about it for a while and said to Liu Fan. His eyes drooped, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.

There are also 100,000 excellent war horses in Summer Lake. War horses also have their peak, and if there is no injury, the age of the envoy is three to fifteen years old. Very few can serve until the age of twenty.

After fifteen years of age, the horse's abilities in all aspects begin to decline, and it can no longer go to war.

If these horses are not used, how many will be left on the battlefield in a few years?

"Ordered Zhang Liao to return to the Yin Pavilion to recruit 20,000 strong and strong, and after the selection, he handed over this army to Commander Guan Yu for training. The Yinshan Iron Cavalry was still commanded by Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's army was stationed in Wuyuan Heyin. Ordered Zhao Yun to lead his troops to cross the Yellow River and investigate whether there were any Xianbei tribes in Wuyuan and Shuofang on the north bank of the Yellow River. If there is, retreat into the clouds, if not, the army is stationed near the city of Guanglu in the five plains. Xu Huang's army was stationed in Wuyuan Manbo to monitor the movements of the Southern Xiongnu. We will send convoys to deliver grain along the Yellow River as soon as possible. ”

When the lost territory of the Hetao was regained, it was inevitable to recruit more soldiers.

Yanmen and Hetao are not a corner of the country, and the north is full of Hudi. Without a strong army, it is simply impossible to protect the people in the territory.

It is said that Jiang Jun and Gao Kai, the leaders of the beggar army, led the displaced people of Shuofang and Yanmen counties to fight for more than ten years, and they were brave and good at fighting. Of the 20,000 beggar troops, half of them can be disbanded, and the remaining 10,000 must be young and strong, and then equipped with war horses, weapons, and armor, after being trained into cavalry. It's another big fighting force. ”

Xun You said to Liu Fan again.

"Well, I will raise Jiang Jun and Gao Kai as captains, so that the middle-aged people in the army will return to their hometowns, and select 10,000 young people. Jiang Jun and Gao Kai each led five departments and were under the command of Guan Yu. ”

These two people were mentioned many times by Cangyun Scout, and Guan Yu mentioned them again in the letter. How could Liu Fan not reuse them?

After talking to Xun You again, Liu Fan came to the study.

After sending people to convey orders to Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others. Write to Liu Hong.
