"The subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Office can choose capable new officials. For example, Xun You, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xu Huang and other generals can directly increase their positions and make meritorious contributions. After the side affairs are stabilized, you can arrange for capable officials such as Tian Feng, Yang Xu, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin to enter the imperial court and be elected as two thousand stone ministers such as the minister. ”

Jia Xu said to Liu Fan.

"I also have this intention, and the soldiers have made great achievements with me, but none of them have won the throne. I promised to be a marquis and pay homage to the generals, and the day when Yongliang is pacified, it will be the time for me to add marquis to the ministers. Before that, I want to reward the soldiers under my command and encourage the morale of the army. ”

Liu Fan and Jia Xu coincide.

"Under the system, it cannot be changed for the time being. There are many princes and ministers who disobey the king, and these people must be guarded against. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm!"

Liu Fan nodded cautiously.

……

The next day, Liu Fan led the army to open the camp and slowly withdrew from the Mianshui generation.

Liu Fan planned to station a large army in Xin'an City in the east of Michi, and temporarily establish a governance office there to stabilize the people under the division.

The princes and ministers accompanied Liu Fan, and they could only rely on Liu Fan now.

Before, Dong Zhuo coerced Liu Xie to move westward, killed the rich room of the Beijing teacher, confiscated his property, and drove millions of people to Chang'an, starving and plundering, and accumulating corpses; It was also learned that the palace dwellings were burned, and within two hundred miles, the rooms were wiped out, and there were no chickens and dogs, and Lu Bufa made the tombs of the emperors and the princes to collect their treasures.

As a result, many places are like hell on earth, and the people dare not go there.

Liu Fan led the army to Xin'an County, and immediately sent generals and soldiers to various counties and counties to bury the bones on the road.

All the tombs dug by Dong Zhuo and his soldiers were all closed.

Later, Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to sweep away all the rubble that had been burned, including Luoyang City. The ashes are scattered in the wilderness.

All the subordinate areas and counties ordered Liu Fan to be streamlined, and he was one out of ten.

He distributed a large amount of the grain and cloth that Dong Zhuo had robbed the people and the powerful to the people of Sili.

lest the people quarrel over their stomachs.

He also ordered soldiers to cut down trees in large numbers to provide shelter for the homeless people.

The aftermath is completely in accordance with what Xun Yu proposed.

Although it is brief, it is unusually clear, and it brings all the people to their hearts.

The county order mansion of Xin'an County is now changed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is the place where Liu Fan dispatches the overall situation.

On the third day of Liu Fan's arrival in Xin'an County, Liu Fan got the news that Guan Yu was about to return.

Guan Yu led the Yinshan Iron Cavalry and 10,000 cavalry to attack Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

Near Gong County, Guan Yu met Xu Rong.

But Xu Rong had already learned at that time that Liu Fan had galloped into Luoyang with his soldiers and horses. And Zhang Ji and Dong Zhuo led 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight Liu Fan, and the whole army was annihilated.

Historically, Xu Rong not only defeated Cao Cao, but also Sun Jian. It can be seen that he has a certain military talent.

Xu Rong, who knew etiquette, learned from Dong Zhuo's successive defeats that Dong Zhuo's general trend had gone and could not be reversed, so the whole army unloaded his armor and surrendered to Guan Yu.

The 20,000 soldiers under Xu Rong's command were ordered to ambush the Kwantung princes before Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and Xu Rong's strict management of the army had no chance to plunder the people like other Xiliang soldiers.

Guan Yu was not good at dealing with Xu Rong, so he took Xu Rong to Xin'an County and reported to Liu Fan.

"Xu Rong came to vote, and he should be courteous."

Xun You suggested to Liu Fan.

"Why?"

Liu Fan asked puzzled.

"After days of fighting, the king died in Xiliang. Countless Xiliang died at the hands of the king, even if those were sinners, they could be saved. But the Xiliang soldiers couldn't help but be hostile to the lord and not sincerely obey. This can be used to take the opportunity to absorb this Xiliang army and use it for its own use. ”

Xun You replied to Liu Fan.

"Fortunately, the military advisor mentioned it, otherwise I would only have to be the other, and I would not have the heart!" Liu Fan said suddenly.

So Liu Fan took his personal guards. Personally out of Xin'an City, go east for ten miles to greet each other.

Fang waited for two moments, and Guan Yu and Xu Rong came here.

Guan Yu looked at the banner on the cover, was shocked, and said, "This is the arrival of the king!"

"I'll get off the horse and go see you!"

Xu Rong, who was beside him, heard this, and his heart tightened.

Along the way, he heard that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had been ambushed. Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, died together with Dong Zhuo and Li Ru. Liu Fan was elected by the Minister as Prime Minister, General, and Lieutenant. Rule the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven!

Xu Rong was shocked at the same time, but also beat a drum in his heart.

"I am with you, and as long as you are truly obedient to the king, you will be reused by the king."

Guan Yu said, dismounted with Xu Rong, and walked towards Liu Fan.

Seeing Guan Yu walking towards him, Liu Fan also dismounted to meet him.

"Yun Chang has worked hard, and when the people are stabilized, I will definitely be rewarded."

Liu Fan and Guan Yu saluted each other, and then asked, "Is Yun Chang's injury better?" It's a pity that there are no generals available, otherwise Yun Chang won't be injured in battle. ”

"It doesn't take long for a wound of flesh to raise a sword. Let the king worry, and the end will go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up! ”

Guan Yu felt a lot and bowed to Liu Fan.

"The criminal minister Xu Rong pays a visit to the prime minister! Although Dong Zhuo went against the sky, he had to listen to military law. When he met General Guan, he realized that he was abusive, and he woke up and came to join the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and was willing to be driven. ”

At this time, Xu Rong also bowed to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan looked at Xu Rong, a person who was called a generation of generals by later generations.

Xu Rong is tall, with an open forehead, about thirty-five years old, with a calm gaze and a frank face.

Seems to have a straightforward temperament, and is not a scheming person.

Liu Fan took a step forward, grabbed Xu Rong's hand, and said with emotion: "The general is here to vote, like a micron into Yin, and Han Xin will return to Han."

When Xu Rong heard Liu Fan compare him with Sanren and Bingxian, he was moved and burst into tears.

"Thanks to kindness, Xu Rong is willing to swear allegiance to the prime minister after the first step!"

Xu Rong regarded Liu Fan as a confidant for a moment, thinking that Zhichen would eventually meet the master.

"General, please get up!"

Liu Fan helped Xu Rong up, and then said: "The soldiers and horses of Xiliang under the command of the general are all pardoned, and they will go to Xiliang to exterminate the traitor party in the near future." As long as the soldiers and horses of Xiliang can make meritorious deeds, we will treat them equally, even if they are feudal marquises, they can also be. ”

"We all know that we are guilty, even though we have descended, and our hearts are abrupt. Now the prime minister has forgiven them from the sin of being a thief, and they will be grateful to you. ”

Xu Rong said to Liu Fan gratefully.

"Good, now I have made you the general of the Kou Sect, commanding 20,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses. Thou shalt be familiar with the military discipline of our army, and thou shalt not offset the merits and demerits, and those who have made outstanding deeds will glorify the whole army, and those who violate the order of seven killings will be beheaded! ”

Liu Fan sealed the road to Xu Rong, and then admonished him.

"The last general will definitely restrain the whole army, and if you violate the military law, I will apologize to the prime minister!"

Xu Rong bowed to Liu Fan again, and his tone was generous and powerful.

"Haha! In the future, there will be two Xu! ”

Liu Fan laughed loudly, feeling that Xu Rong was no less talented than Xu Huang.

"Congratulations to the king, you have another general!"

Guan Yu was on the side and said to Liu Fanhe.

Xu Rong is talented, Guan Yu knows, after all, he has been all the way.
