Liu Xie did not intercede for Fu Jun, because Fu Jun had no place worthy of Liu Xie's intercession. Fu Shou is not a girl like Zhao Yu and Zhen Mi who is already familiar with Liu Xie, so Liu Xie will not be principled because he can't wipe his face.

Early the next morning, Liu Xie went to the county guard to urge Fu Wan to hurry up and prepare, and the construction of the temporary camp needed to be ordered by Fu Wan to recruit people, but other things did not need to be worried. Whether it is a county soldier or an official warehouse, Liu Xie is here, and he has not finished anything.

Since Wang Yun's death, Liu Xie has divided the military and political power, and the military power is firmly in his hands, especially after Lu Bu led his troops to leave, Liu Xie's control of military power is never allowed to be touched by others, from the local county soldiers to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, all directly under Liu Xie, only obeying Liu Xie's orders, and the local government can only ask for assistance but no direct command if necessary. As for the political power, Liu Xie was all entrusted to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK, headed by Situ Xunyu, and all government affairs were decided by the 100 officials in the DPRK and China. Although Xun Yu's name is Situ, he is actually a prime minister, but unlike the previous prime ministers, he has no military power.

This is also very good, the well water of civil and military officials does not interfere with the river water, and they perform their duties. And the entire imperial court from top to bottom, the state and county guards who used to hold the military and political power, when they arrived at Liu Xie, they did not have as much power as in the past. Without military power in hand, the governor and county guard became the magistrate who governed the people's livelihood, and the imperial court's control over the local area was greatly increased. Of course, what the imperial court did naturally caused uneasiness among people such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and also strengthened their determination to confront the imperial court to the end. Liu Xie didn't care much about this, even if the court persuaded them, they would not give up the power in their hands, there would be a battle on the left and right, and Liu Xie didn't care about their attitude towards the court.

As for the money and food needed to help the people this time, it was allocated by the official warehouse directly belonging to the imperial court. According to Liu Xie's idea, the imperial court's collection of local money and grain was divided into three parts, one part was handed over to the state treasury, one part was sent to the official warehouse, and the rest was used for the daily expenses of the local government. Roughly speaking, it is distributed according to the ratio of 60%, 30% and 10%. Among them, if there is a disaster in the local area, it will also directly transfer grain from the local government warehouse to help the people.

The official warehouse is directly under the imperial court, and the magistrate has no right to open the official warehouse without the authorization of the imperial court, and the officials who manage the official warehouse are also directly appointed by the imperial court, and the term of office is one year. It is precisely because of this strict order that no official dares to pay attention to the official position. Because once it is found out, not only the officials who manage the official warehouse will be unlucky, but also the people involved will be unlucky regardless of their status and status.

If there is no Liu Xie, he will first ask the imperial court, and only after getting the permission of the imperial court will he take people to the official warehouse, and the amount of grain extracted will also be recorded, so that the next official responsible for managing the official warehouse can easily check the accounts.

However, now that Liu Xie has come forward, there is no need to ask the court to open the official warehouse, of course, it must be recorded, otherwise the next official who will manage the official warehouse will not take over and avoid taking the blame.

The temporary camping camp of the Montenegrin thieves gradually took shape under the construction of the people, and the grain extracted from the official warehouse was also recorded, and Pingyang County is now waiting for the Montenegrin thieves to come. And before Zhang Yan arrived with the Black Mountain Thieves, Xu Huang rushed to Pingyang County with 10,000 trouble-relieving troops. Seeing that Xu Huang's trouble-relieving army had arrived in Pingyang, his heart was steady. He didn't trust Zhang Yan like Liu Xie, but Liu Xie was stubborn, and it was useless for him to persuade him, so he could only live in fear these days. But now that the Liberation Army has arrived, even if Zhang Yan has bad intentions, the imperial court is not without countermeasures.

Liu Xie didn't think as much as he thought, and after seeing Xu Huang, he said a few words of greeting, and then planned to leave to greet Zhang Yan. Just a moment before Xu Huang's arrival, Zhang Yan also sent someone to contact Liu Xie, saying that his people had entered the territory of Pingyang. Xu Huang wanted to accompany Liu Xie to go together, but was stopped by the ambush, so he had to leave the whole army to deal with the emergency.

"Hande." Xu Huang shouted at his own pro-army, and immediately a big man came out.

"Lord, this person's name is Han De, he was recruited into the army when the last general was in Yuzhong, and the last general saw that he was brave in battle, so he incorporated him into the pro-army, and this time he will take someone to accompany the lord on a trip."

"An axe-maker, too." Liu Xie saw the wheel axe in Han De's hand and said with a smile.

"Huh...... The last general usually instructed him a few tricks. Xu Huang also said with a smile.

"Okay, Gongmei's recommendation will naturally not be wrong, just let him follow. But let me be clear, you are not allowed to come here without my orders. If you make a mistake, Gongming, don't blame me for not giving you face. ”

"That's nature. Han De, your responsibility is to protect the safety of the lord, and the rest are not many mouths, do you understand? ”

"The little ones obey." Han De hurriedly replied.

Liu Xie left Pingyang City with Han De and two hundred cavalry and went to meet Zhang Yan. After Liu Xie left, Fu Wan found Xu Huang and expressed his worries. After hearing this, Xu Huang nodded and replied: "Fu Junshou rest assured, I have understood this matter, with Han De's protection, the lord will be fine, and if that Zhang Yan really has bad intentions, my ten thousand troublesome troops will also let him have no return." ”

"Don't be careless."

"I know it, and I'm at ease."

……

Zhang Yan didn't expect the Liu Association to greet him in person. He also sent scouts to explore the way, and Zhang Yan was also panicked about the appearance of a large number of officers and troops in Pingyang County. But just when he doubted whether his decision was a little hasty, Liu Xie appeared.

"You, why are you here?" Zhang Yan looked at Liu Xie with some surprise and asked. Just before Liu Xie appeared, Sun Qing and Wang Dang under Zhang Yan were still arguing about whether to turn around and return or concentrate on Qingzhuang in case of accidents.

“…… Were you worried that the imperial court would poison you? Liu Xie glanced at Zhang Yan and asked with a smile. was said to be in her heart, Zhang Yan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, but Wang Dang on the side was a straight intestine, and when she heard Liu Xie's question, she answered directly yes, so that Sun Qing next to her didn't have time to stop him.

"It's normal for you to have this kind of worry. But you can't blame the imperial court for sending officials and soldiers here, who made your previous reputation not very good. Among the more than 300,000 people, the young and strong who can fight can make up 70,000 or 80,000, and if they turn their faces, the imperial court will not be able to bear this loss. But don't worry, since I'm here, it's to tell you that the court has no ill will towards you, and Zhao'an doesn't want to lure you over and annihilate you in one fell swoop. Come with me, I have asked Binh Duong County to prepare a place and food for everyone to rest, and after two days of rest, I will continue on my way. ”

Liu Xie's appearance worked better than any guarantee. Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven, and if he dares to appear in person, it means that the court will not act rashly. Zhang Yan understood Liu Xie's sincerity, and at the same time she was moved and made up her mind. Let Sun Qing and Wang Dang command the team, and accompany Liu Xie alone.

After Fu Wan looked at the crowd who couldn't see the end at a glance, he still felt a little hairy in his heart, but fortunately, he saw Liu Xie walking with Zhang Yan, and he felt a little comforted in his heart. He glanced at Xu Huang and took the initiative to report to Liu Xieyu: "Holy Lord, the things you ordered before have been prepared, do you want to take these people to the camp to rest now?" ”

Liu Xie glanced at Zhang Yan when he heard this, and saw Zhang Yan nodding, so he said to Fu Wan: "Well, I'm sorry for you." Han De, you go along, and by the way, let people start cooking, so that everyone can sleep well and nourish their spirits after they are full. ”

"Sun Qing, you go with Brother Han De and tell the brothers that this is home, and they should be honest and peaceful." Seeing this, Zhang Yan on the side also whispered to Sun Qingdao.

Han De and Sun Qing left with Fu Wan, and Liu Xie took Zhang Yan into the city. After sitting down in the county guard's mansion, Liu Xie said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yan, go back and select 10,000 Montenegrin soldiers by yourself, and I will order someone to accompany you to register and make a register." ”

“…… Shengshang, does he want Zhang Yan to stay in Pingyang? ”

"No, all the officials and soldiers of the imperial court must first undergo three months of recruit training, although your Montenegrin army has been on the battlefield for a long time, but I am afraid that it has not practiced the systematic battle formation. After you select 10,000 people, you will go to Chang'an with me and enter the new barracks to be taught by veterans such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. As for you personally, I personally suggest that you go to the recruit sect leaders Wang Yue and Tong Yuan to ask for advice on martial arts. ”

"Then these people ......"

"They will take over from the local government and escort them to Liangzhou along the way after registering and making a register. I am going to place them in the four counties of Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, and Jincheng. You don't have to worry about their safety, the officers and soldiers will take care of their protection. As for their grain, the imperial court will be responsible for it before the grain is harvested. ”

“…… I don't know how the Holy Lord is going to arrange the Black Mountain Army? Zhang Yan asked after thinking about it.

"After you have completed your training, I will transfer you to Jiuquan County. I won't hide it from you, the imperial court is preparing for the expedition to the west recently, and the Yumen Pass in Jiuquan County is the retreat of the expeditionary army, and your Montenegrin army is mainly responsible for guarding the Yumen Pass to prevent the return route of the expeditionary army from being cut off. Let you choose the manpower now, which is also to facilitate the family members of the Montenegrin Army to be placed in Jiuquan County in the future. ”

"Holy Lord, I can talk more......"

"Zhang Yan, you are already a military general of the imperial court, and I can call myself the last general."

Zhang Yan was as good as a stream, and immediately changed his words: "Yes, can the last general ask more?" ”

"You ask."

"Now that the world is in turmoil, why doesn't the imperial court want to pacify the world, but instead plot against the Western Regions?"

"Huh...... Are you saying I'm a little out of business? ”

"The last general will not dare."

"I don't blame you. Zhang Yan, if according to what you said, if the imperial court participates in the princes' struggle for hegemony now, what is the chance of winning? Or, at what cost, to pacify the world? ”

"Uh, this ......"

"I'm afraid you haven't thought about this, have you? The imperial court is orthodox, and if it confiscates a land, it will be responsible for the lives of the people in a place. The current strength of the imperial court is not strong, compared to Yuan Shao in Hebei, if there is a head-on conflict, the imperial court will win less and lose more. And once the war reaches a stalemate, it is very likely that a tug of war will be formed, and what will be lost is the vitality of our Han people. Pacifying the world is something that must be done, but until then, the court needs to continue to grow itself, to be strong enough to wage war against any prince, and then the court will begin to pacify the world. And before that, let those princes fight first, the more fierce they fight, the more effort the court will have. ”

"The last general will be dull, please don't blame the saint."

"You are also thinking about the future of the imperial court, what is wrong. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, after arriving in Chang'an, you don't have to worry too much about the training of recruits, there are veterans such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but you don't think you can be lazy, during your stay in Chang'an, you must learn to read. ”

"Huh? …… The last general is a rough man......" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with some resistance. Just before Zhang Yan finished speaking, Liu Xie interrupted: "You are not only a rough man, but also a military general of the imperial court, and reading and literacy is a must." I don't expect you to become a great Confucian, but as the commander of an army, if you can't even understand military orders, how can you be a general? Not only you, but all the generals and colonels of the Montenegrin Army must learn to write. If it doesn't pass by then, Zhang Yan, don't blame me for refuting your face. ”

Seeing Liu Xie's non-negotiable expression, Zhang Yan also knew that no matter how much it was useless, and then thinking about it, it was not just that he was unlucky, and Zhang Yan's heart was balanced. As he thought, when he informed his subordinates Sun Qing and Wang Dang of Liu Xie's decision, these people immediately blew up. Other arrangements are acceptable, but this reading and literacy has aroused the collective opposition of everyone.

"What's all the noise? In the future, you will all be the same court generals as Lao Tzu, look at what kind of system you are now? Zhang Yan scolded angrily.

"Yan Shuai, the Holy One asked us to study, isn't it difficult for us." The king shouted loudly.

"Shut up! The saint is also for our good future, you are all the leaders of the Montenegrin army in the future, if you don't even know a military order, how can you cooperate with the main force to fight? ”

"We can find someone who knows how to read and take it with us."

"And what if the literate one dies?"

"Yan Shuai, it won't be the saint who wants you to study, and you pull our gang to make you a back, right?" Sun Qing suddenly asked Zhang Yandao. As soon as the words fell, the group of people led by Wang Dang immediately looked at Zhang Yan in unison, and their expressions seemed to agree with Sun Qing's statement. Zhang Yan was so angry that she roared angrily, "Let your mother's fart, is Lao Tzu that kind of person?" ”

……

The noisy situation between Zhang Yan and the gang of people under his command was quickly sent to Liu Xie's desk, and Liu Xie's tears almost flowed out after reading it, which reminded him of the tragic scene in the army when he forced the commander to read and write in the army.

"Lord, why are you so happy?" Xu Huang, who walked in, asked curiously.

"See for yourself." Liu Xie handed over the information with a smile, and Xu Huang also smiled when he saw it, but then his face turned straight again, and he said to Liu Xie: "Lord, Xun Situ sent someone to send an urgent letter, asking the lord to return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

"Huh? Something happened to Chang'an? Seeing this, Liu Xie wondered and asked puzzled.

"I don't know. However, the last general felt that it was probably related to the fact that the lord was in distress in Hebei this time. ”

"Hmm...... Then don't be busy going back. I will set off with the Montenegrin army to return to Chang'an. Gongming, after Zhang Yan sets off with me, you will leave 5,000 people to escort the newly acquired 300,000 people along the way, and you don't need to worry about the placement, the government will be responsible for the way, you just need to ensure that these people don't do anything to disturb the people. I will inform Zhang Yan of this matter in advance, if someone does not obey the control, you can deal with it as you like, and you don't have to worry about what the consequences will be. ”

"The last will understand. It's just the lord, Xun Situ ......"

"Don't worry, Wen Ruo is in such a hurry to let me go back, I'm afraid that a big meal has been prepared and waiting for me, I have to make some preparations, so as not to be able to eat and walk around when I get it."

"Lord, Xun Situ shouldn't be able to, right?"

Liu Xie shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "No? Hehe...... Gongming, that's because you don't understand Wen Ruo. If this man starts to be ruthless, it will be terrible. I'm not worried that he'll beat me, I'm afraid he'll find a bunch of Confucians that I can't offend to teach me. Oops, the feeling that you can't beat or scold, you can only suffer obediently, it's really uncomfortable. ”

"Dare to love the lord is also afraid." Xu Huang said with a smile.

"Everyone is afraid, how can I be an exception."

"The lord is the Son of Heaven, and the decree is not to see those great Confucians."

"Hmph, to put it lightly, I'm not a dumb man who doesn't accept advice, they are also for my good, although I won't listen, but I can't discourage them. Well, I'll have to think of a way to let those big Confucians have no time to take care of me in a short time. Liu Xie touched his chin and began to think about countermeasures, and Xu Huang on the side couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

……

Three days later, Liu Xie took Zhang Yan and 10,000 people to Chang'an, and because of Liu Xie's openness, Zhang Yan and others had no objection to the arrangement of the imperial court. 300,000 people were escorted to Liangzhou by the imperial court in batches.

Han Sui and Ma Teng of Liangzhou had different performances after learning from Liangzhou Mu Jia Xu that 300,000 Han people would move into Liangzhou. Ma Teng is happy for the imperial court, with these 300,000 Han people, Liangzhou will be more stable. After deciding to accept the appointment of the imperial court, Ma Teng really had the idea of regaining the glory of his ancestors. However, compared with Ma Teng, Han Sui's selfishness is heavier.

"Jia Zhoumu, I don't know how the imperial court is going to settle these 300,000 Han people?" Han Sui opened his mouth and asked Jia Xudao.

According to the meaning of the Holy Lord, 300,000 Han people will move into the four counties of Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei and Jincheng respectively, of which Jiuquan and Zhangye will get 100,000, and Wuwei and Jincheng will each get 50,000. Wenyue, you are the county guard of Jincheng, and it is your duty to settle 50,000 Han people for the imperial court, so don't be slack. ”

Jia Zhoumu rest assured, Han Sui naturally knew the importance of this. It's just why Jiuquan and Zhangye can get 100,000, while Wuwei and Jincheng can only get 50,000? ”

"Wenyue, what's wrong with that? Compared with Jiuquan and Zhangye, there are more Hanmin in Wuwei and Jincheng. Ma Teng on the side interjected, so angry that Han Sui secretly itched at the root of his teeth.
