The Chang'an Imperial Court sent a special envoy Wu Shuo to Yanzhou to deliver the decree, and made a temporary stop while passing through Luoyang, and was warmly received by Zhao Wen, the Sikong Zhao Wen, the Wei general Zhu Jun, and the Luoyang Ling, who stayed in Luoyang.

Xiahou Yuan, who was in charge of escorting money and grain in the direction of Chang'an, obtained permission from the Wei general Zhu Jun to allow him to lead 3,000 men to camp twenty miles east of Luoyang City, and escorted him to continue eastward after waiting for Wu Shuo to leave the city.

The 5,000 Dragon and Tiger Guards and Shen Xi Army guarding Luoyang City did not send troops and horses to monitor Xiahou Yuan, but calmly and comfortably went about their duties, which frustrated Xiahou Yuan's desire to observe potential future opponents up close.

The envoy Wu Shuo is a very capable person, in history he and Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Chongji and others received the emperor's secret decree and wanted to get rid of the then prime minister Cao Cao, so he is different from Duan Xun's incompetent envoy.

Wu Shuo did not expect that after several years of restoration, Luoyang now looks more vibrant than the western capital of Chang'an, although some palace buildings were destroyed in a fire and were not rebuilt later, but some important palaces such as the Imperial Palace and Taixue and Taifu Mansion, Sikong Mansion and other official mansions have been repaired, revealing a new atmosphere everywhere.

Because Wang Yun and Lu Bu were worried that they would be overpowered by Liu Yu's father and son after returning to Luoyang, they had been guarding Chang'an, and in recent years, they had fought openly and secretly with various warlords in Guanzhong, making the Chang'an court a lifeless, and many ministers were nothing more than talking about it in the court every day, but the actual decree could not get out of Chang'an City at all.

Luoyang City was very miserable by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and the princes and nobles in the city walked cleanly, which made it easier for Liu He to start again after the army was stationed, and all kinds of resistance and constraints were reduced a lot.

Liu Yu, the general of the Taifu and Hussars, was the nominal supreme military minister in the Luoyang region, followed by Sikong Zhao Wen and Zhu Jun, the general of Henan Yin and the leading guard, and the Luoyang Order was judged after Zhao and Zhu, but none of these three were actually the real masters of Luoyang.

The current de facto controller of the Luoyang region is Cao Peng, the east of the Taifu Mansion, and Li Yan, who replaces Liu He and exercises the power of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General.

When Liu He left Luoyang, he gave Li Yan the task of ensuring Luoyang's external security and internal stability, and at the same time insisting on implementing the model of mutual assistance in agriculture so that Luoyang could continue to recuperate. Lick one's wounds.

After Liu He left Luoyang, Li Yan kept in mind Liu He's entrustment, conscientiously presided over the affairs left behind by the Taifu Mansion, and with the assistance of Wei Qi, Zhang Yi, Jia Kui, Qu Meng, Deng Hai and Chen Gui, Luoyang survived a year smoothly, during which he also secretly sent troops to help Zhang Yang in Hanoi repel an attack by Yuan Shao.

Thanks to the joint efforts of all the people, the Luoyang area had another bumper harvest of grain last autumn, which basically solved the problem of eating food for the local people, and in the future, even if it does not rely on the support of other states and counties, it can be self-sufficient.

Wu Shuo during his stay in Luoyang. Li Yan was hindered by the face of Wu Shuo's envoy to the emperor, so he had to receive Wu Shuo instead of Liu He, but in order to avoid suspicion, he asked Wei Qi and Zhang Yi and others to receive him together, and did not have any private contact with Wu Shuo.

Now that Liu Yu's father and son are in Youzhou, if someone deliberately separates the relationship between Li Yan and Liu He, some words will spread to Jicheng. It will cause unnecessary trouble. Li Yan knew better than anyone else that if Luoyang lost the nominal attention and support of Liu Yu's father and son, it would immediately become the focus of contention between all parties.

For example, now, although Luoyang has only 30,000 troops. But whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, or the warlords of Guanzhong, they did not dare to send troops to attack, because no one knew whether the eldest prince who was far away in Youzhou would lead tens of thousands of iron horsemen all the way to Luoyang again. At the beginning, Liu He dared to lead 10,000 cavalry to Chang'an, and nearly 100,000 rebels against Li Dao and Guo Yan. Now he has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and the total number of elite cavalry has exceeded 35,000, so the deterrence of all sides is even more powerful.

Wu Shuo, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, went all the way east to observe the changes in the Luoyang area. smoothly entered the territory of Yanzhou, and then was greeted by the team sent by Cao Cao to meet Changyi, the city of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao asked people to put incense on a large display outside the city of Changyi, greeted Wu Shuo's arrival with a very grand ceremony, and then personally received the long-awaited official document of the imperial court appointment, as well as the general's seal.

After Cao Cao was appointed as the general of Zhengdong, he immediately appointed Xun Yu, a strategist in front of the account, as the chief of the general's mansion, appointed his younger brother Xiahou Dun as the Sima of the General's Mansion, appointed his younger brother Cao Ren as the Sima of the General's Mansion, appointed the strategist Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai as the left and right engaged in Zhonglang, appointed the younger brother Xiahou Yuan as the subordinate thief Cao, appointed the younger brother Cao Hong as the subordinate governor, appointed the famous scholar Hua Xin as the Gong Cao, appointed the strategist Xun You as the chief bookkeeper, and appointed the strategist Liu Ye as the chief secretary.

If you only look at the composition of the core members of the General's Mansion, the Zhengdong General's Mansion led by Cao Cao is undoubtedly a cut above Yuan Shao's Che Cavalry General's Mansion, and even the two sets of teams of Liu Yu's father and son in Jicheng may not be stronger than Cao Cao's subordinates.

After receiving Cao Cao's appointment, they immediately devoted themselves to specific affairs, and soon formulated several development strategies for Cao Cao, both internal and external.

Changshi Xunyu's suggestion for Cao Cao was to immediately follow the practice of Youzhou and issue a "notice to seek talents" to all states and counties, breaking the concept of the family and selecting people on the basis of merit. Youzhou originally issued a "notice to recruit talents" to other counties in other states, and if Yanzhou made a "notice for seeking talents", although it sounded a little similar, it was more earnest in attitude.

Compared with the "Talent Notice" and the "Talent Notice", although it is only a word difference, there is still a difference.

Historically, after Cao Cao served as prime minister, he once issued three consecutive "merit seeking orders" in eight years, selecting and appointing talented people from all over the Han Dynasty to serve him. Liu He originally engaged in the "Recruitment Notice" in Youzhou, in fact, he still borrowed from Cao Cao's practice, and now Wang Zuozhicai Xun Yu proposed to Cao Cao to recruit talents extensively, which was naturally accepted and recognized by Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu, the middle man of Zuo, suggested to Cao Cao that a large number of tuntian fields should be carried out in Yanzhou to solve the problem of food for the army and civilians, which was also adopted by Cao Cao. Historically, the Tuntian system was originally perfected and developed in the hands of Cao Cao, and now Youzhou is in front, which has made Cao Cao see the huge advantages of Tuntian, and he himself has long planned this matter in his heart. Cao Cao appointed Dong'e County Commander Zaoyi and Quartermaster Logistics Officer Ren Jun to be in charge of Tuntian's affairs together, preparing to do a big job in Yanzhou.

Right Zhonglang Xi Zhicai suggested to Cao Cao that he immediately send loyal and reliable scholars to Youzhou Jicheng to study, secretly learn and master Youzhou's unique methods in handling internal affairs and military affairs, and then send it back to Yanzhou for reference.

Xun You, the chief secretary, suggested to Cao Cao that the troops should be immediately reorganized and reorganized, the treatment of soldiers should be improved, weapons and armor should be improved, and the combat capability of the Yanzhou army should be rapidly improved.

Liu Ye, the chief secretary, suggested that Cao Cao get in touch with Gongsun Du of Liaodong and ask him to send a sailor to cut off the water trade between Youzhou and Xuzhou, and at the same time find a way to import war horses into Yanzhou by taking the Yellow River waterway to form a Yanzhou cavalry force.

Cao Cao's subordinates were not fuel-efficient lamps, and their suggestions were well thought out, very closely integrated with the reality of Yanzhou, and had strong feasibility, so they were all listened to by Cao Cao, who was good at accepting words, and Yanzhou entered a period of rapid change.

When Cao Cao led a cadre of staff from the General Mansion of Zhengdong in Yanzhou to "go on a big job quickly", Liu Biao of Jingzhou finally couldn't sit still, and he followed Yanzhou's practice and sent his general Wen Ping to lead 10,000 infantry to escort the past three years from Wuguan to Chang'an.

Although Cao Cao seized the opportunity, Liu Biao made a bloody investment this time, so when Wen Ping arrived in Chang'an, it caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and what he sent was a full three years of age in Jingzhou! With this money and grain, the life of the Chang'an court will be completely changed, and there will be no need to beg for alms from warlords such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji like beggars for a period of time.

In order to praise Liu Biao, the imperial court named him the general of Zhengnan, making him the same military rank as Li Dao, Guo Yan and Cao Cao.

Liu Biao's official document had not yet arrived in Xiangyang, and Liu Yan from Yizhou also sent an envoy to Chang'an, expressing his willingness to hand over the annual endowment to the imperial court, but because the road leading to Chang'an in Shuzhong was really difficult, and Guo Yan and Zhang Jishi were still blocked in the road, so they could not be delivered directly, so they had to be stored in the treasury of Hanzhong County south of the Qinling Mountains.

Wang Yun then sent people to negotiate in the camp of Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, and at the cost of giving half of the benefits to the two Yizhou tributes, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji nodded and agreed to let Yizhou go. Yizhou then sent the general Zhang Ren from Hanzhong to lead the army to escort a batch of money and grain into Guanzhong.

In order to commend Liu Yan, the imperial court added the title of General Zhennan to Liu Yan's head.

The farce of the imperial court exchanging official positions for money and food has been staged here, and it is far from over, because there are still some small forces that have not yet received the benefits they want.

Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou were unable to send people to pay tribute to the imperial court because they had a complete falling out with Li Wei, so they secretly instigated the Qiang people in Longyou and the Qiang people north of Beidi County to make trouble.

In order to commend Ma Teng and Han Sui, the imperial court added Ma Teng as the captain of Huqiang and Han Sui as the general of Pingyu, which appeased the two.

Coincidentally, in Changsha County, far away in the southeast of the Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the territory of the district star, in order to maintain the authority of the Han court, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian immediately led the army to quell the rebellion, won a great victory, and sent the head of the thief chief district star to Chang'an.

After Zhu Jun, the general of Yin and Wei in Henan, learned of this, he submitted a report to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to crown Sun Jian as the general of Annan. Wang Yun, for the purpose of letting Sun Jian contain Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, agreed to Zhu Jun's request, and then crowned Sun Jian as the general of Annan. (To be continued......)
