Chapter 456: Entering Yecheng

After Liu He's team came out of Gaoyi, they accelerated their march, almost non-stop towards their destination, Yecheng. Xian Yufu, who had already received the news in advance, knew that Liu He did not come to Yecheng for a short stay this time, but to use Yecheng as a new base camp, so he attached great importance to it and couldn't wait to freshen up Yecheng from the inside to the outside three times a day.

Just when Xian Yufu was busy, the special envoy of the imperial court who was responsible for transmitting the decree came to Yecheng. Xian Yufu has never been very interested in the envoys of the imperial court, because most of the people who were in charge of transmitting the decree in the past were eunuchs, and they were all greedy and shameless, and they had no discipline, so his attitude towards the series can be imagined.

It's just that this kind of compilation is not a eunuch, let alone an ordinary person.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he was a servant, and he conspired with Xun You, Zheng Tai and others to punish Dong Zhuo, and he was a bold and ruthless fierce man. After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun appointed Chong Ji as the captain of Changshui, and later appointed him as the captain of the Yue cavalry.

Historically, after Cao Cao held the Han Emperor Liu Xie hostage to Xuchang, Chongji had received the edict of the Han Emperor with the chariot general Dong Cheng, the Zhaoxin general Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo and others, and conspired to remove the Cao.

This time, the emperor appointed the seed series to go to Youzhou to deliver the decree, and it can be seen that the seed series has a very high status in Liu Xie's heart, and it can also be seen that the young emperor seems to have a guard against Liu Yu's father and son.

When Xian Yufu learned from the mouth of the seed series that this time the imperial court was actually going to crown Liu Yu as the great Sima and worship Liu He as the hussar general, he was surprised, and naturally became polite to the seed series, not only the reception specifications were rapidly improved, but also sent people to serve around the seed series all day and night.

After a short stay in Yecheng, he wanted to leave for the north, but was stopped by Xian Yufu Wanyan. Xian Yufu told Chongji that Liu He was already on his way to Yecheng in Gaoyi. It is estimated that it will be possible to arrive in two or three days, and since the Lord who received the order is coming, why rush this or two days. The series didn't see Xian Yufu's intention to delay time, and he was embarrassed to refuse Xian Yufu's kindness, so he had to stay.

In fact, just after the seed series arrived in Yecheng, Xian Yufu sent someone to pass the news to the north as quickly as possible. Although Xian Yufu didn't know what kind of response and layout Liu He would make after receiving the will of the imperial court, he knew that the later he saw Liu He, the more advantageous it would be, although the position of the hussar general was very useful to Liu He, but with the power that Liu He now held in his hands. In fact, it is no different from a hussar general.

The current hussar general is Liu He's father, and Liu Yu handed over all the military power to his son, isn't Liu He actually performing the duties of a hussar general?

Liu He agreed with Guo Jia and Tian Chou on the way to the next layout, and then received news from Xian Yufu, after learning that the person who came to deliver the decree was a kind of compilation, Liu He's heart was secretly vigilant.

Three days later, Liu He arrived in Yecheng.

Looking at Yecheng, which had been run by Yuan Shao for many years, Liu He turned his head to Guo Jia and Tian Chou beside him and said: "I estimate that Yuan Shao must have been heartbroken when he learned that Yecheng was lost!" ”

"It's me. I'm going to be heartbroken, too. Tian Chou had a rare sense of humor.

"To be able to successfully take a strong city like Yecheng, General Taishi has made a lot of contributions. This city is strong and majestic, and it is the most suitable to be used as a base camp for attacking the Central Plains! Guo Jia looked at the sturdy and tall Yecheng City. It is also a word of praise.

While the three of them were talking, Xian Yufu, who went out of the city to greet him, strode forward and saluted Liu He.

"Childe, I'm looking forward to you! The lieutenant was waiting anxiously in Yecheng. If you don't come again, I won't be able to keep anyone. ”

Liu He dismounted and helped Xian Yufu, who bowed down, and said with a concerned face: "You have been staying in Jizhou for the past few years. You can't take care of your family, you won't blame me, will you? ”

Although it was just a simple comfort, it was particularly comfortable to iron in Xian Yufu's ears.

Liu He entered Yecheng in front of everyone's shouting, and then soon saw the seed collection of the Beichuan decree.

When he saw the seed series, Liu He found that this person was very different from what he imagined, first of all, the age of the seed series was far older than Liu He imagined, and it seemed that he was at least about the same as Zheng Tai. Liu He originally thought that the officials who served as the servants of the Son of Heaven were similar to him, and they belonged to the young little white face, but in fact, it was rare for him to serve as the Son of Heaven when he was not yet twenty years old in Luoyang. If it weren't for the relationship between Liu and the royal bloodline, how could Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, let him, a guy who didn't have any hair, serve by his side in the first place.

In addition, the series is not the sour and rotten image of the crepe as Liu He imagined, but the voice is loud, and there is a feeling of opening and closing between gestures.

Liu He felt strange when he saw the seed series, but the seed series was no stranger to Liu He at all, when Liu He was in Luoyang and Chang'an, the seed series often saw Liu He, but at that time the two were similar in status, and now Liu He is going to take such a dazzling high position as a hussar general. At the age of less than thirty, Monk Liu was worshiped as a hussar general, although he was not the first person in the history of the Han Dynasty, he could definitely be sent to the top three.

However, fortunately, Liu He is not in the first place, if it weren't for the record of Huo Quai's bull being worshiped as a hussar general at the age of nineteen, I am afraid that this time Liu He would not know how much resistance he would encounter.

The main purpose of Chongji's trip north this time was to urge Liu Yu to go to Beijing as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, so he didn't want to waste time on Liu He's body, so after seeing Liu He, he immediately issued the will of the imperial court to Liu He, and then ignored Liu He's repeated retention, left Yecheng as quickly as possible and went straight to Jicheng. Liu He was worried that Chongji would run into trouble on the road, and he was even more worried that someone would assassinate Chongji and then put the charge on his head, so he gave Xian Yufu an order to send five hundred light cavalry to catch up with Chongji as a guard. Chongji seemed to expect that Liu He would send someone to escort him, so when the five hundred cavalry caught up, he accepted it calmly and did not refuse.

After Chongji left Yecheng, Liu He became busy.

Originally belonged to Yuan Shao's Che Cavalry General's Mansion, when Yecheng was captured, it was completely preserved, Xian Yufu stationed in Yecheng, deliberately left a mind, and did not set up the line in the original Che Cavalry General's Mansion, but occupied Chun Yuqiong's East Road Governor's Mansion. Although the door plaque of the Cheqi General's Mansion was taken off by the soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion and thrown into the backyard firewood room, the entire mansion was guarded by soldiers, and special personnel were arranged to clean and maintain it every day.

Now Liu He accepted the appointment of the imperial court and became the hussar general and the governor of the five northern states, this luxurious and exquisitely decorated, spacious and open mansion was just used by Liu He as a general's mansion, which not only saved the time and money required for reconstruction, but also avoided the criticism of the outside world caused by the overhaul and construction.

Liu He was very useful for Xian Yufu's "flattery", and felt that he had intended to promote and reuse him, which was not wrong. Xian Yufu may be lacking in bravery and resourcefulness, but he is loyal and reliable, and he works hard, and he may not be enough to attack, but it is reassuring to defend it.

When Liu He entered the city, the momentum was quite big, although the high-ranking families in Yecheng did not get the opportunity to go out of the city to greet him, but after he lived in Yuan Shao's mansion, all kinds of famous assassins and invitations were thrown one after another. The matter of the imperial court crowning Liu He as a hussar general was not deliberately kept secret, and the arrival of the seed series confirmed the matter, and the wealthy families in Yecheng all knew that Liu He would become the master of the entire north in the future.

Strictly speaking, Liu He himself is the representative of the wealthy clan, and it is impossible to completely eliminate these clans under the national conditions at this time, so how to win over and use these clans is Liu He's compulsory course.

Fortunately, Liu He has completely mastered the skills of interacting with the big families after all these years of training, so on the one hand, he generously accepted the gold, silver, jade and precious playthings sent by various families, and even accepted more than a dozen beautiful maids and prostitutes, on the other hand, Liu He asked Tian Chou to seize the time to investigate the suspicious people in Yecheng, strictly prevent the infiltration and destruction of all forces, and ensure the safety and stability of Yecheng.

Yecheng is already very close to Luoyang, and it can be reached in three days by riding a fast horse, so the back and forth transmission of news is much faster. Soon after Liu He arrived in Yecheng, Luoyang got the news, compared with the worries and anxieties of some people in the upper echelons of Luoyang, the people in the counties near Luoyang were overjoyed when they learned that Liu He was close to Luoyang, and even many young and strong people went to Yecheng in groups, saying that they wanted to defect to Liu He and join the army.

Liu He worked hard in Luoyang for several years, although he did not win the hearts of the Luoyang scholars, but was recognized by the people at the bottom of the society, and now the emperor suddenly returned to Luoyang from Chang'an, these poor people were worried that someone would break the rules that Liu He had set at the beginning, and many people were worried that the land allocated to their own cultivation at a lower rent would be recaptured by those big clans.

In fact, with the emperor's return to the east, there was already an undercurrent in Luoyang City, and many of the big families who had been blacklisted by Liu He began to move, and they used various relationships to get closer to the palace and the returning court ministers, in a vain attempt to form an interest group and overturn some temporary land regulations and policies to help the poor formulated by Liu He.

Li Yan would sort out and summarize the information he got almost every day and throw it to Yecheng, and after Zhao Yun controlled the entire Hanoi, he also paid special attention to maintaining the post road from Luoyang to Yecheng, not only sending cavalry to patrol the roads for hundreds of miles day and night, but also planting a large number of secret spies near several important ferry passes, closely monitoring the movements around Luoyang.
