Liu He took the prepared list to report the good news to his father, but Liu Yu was not as happy as Liu He expected after listening to it.

Liu He said with some grievances: "Father, for the sake of Liaodong, the soldiers have worked hard for several years, and now Gongsun Du has been driven to Lelang, and the four counties of Liaodong have returned to Youzhou, how can you react so plainly?" ”

Liu Yu looked at his son gently, showed a faint smile, and comforted Liu He and said, "Why, do you think you have made a great contribution this time, but you haven't received the recognition you deserve from me?" ”

Liu He puffed out his cheeks and bowed his head silently.

"From the day you decided to deal with Gongsun Du, Father has never doubted or worried, because I know that you will definitely get the success you want. To be honest, since you escaped from Chang'an and returned to Youzhou that year, there have been so many surprises for me, so many that I sometimes wonder if this is still the son with a weak temperament in my memory. ”

When Liu Yu said these words, he still looked at Liu He gently, as if he was just saying his true feelings in his heart, and there were not too many doubts, but it made Liu He feel nervous.

In any case, Liu He didn't dare to tell Liu Yu that he was a Xibei who came through the country, if he said so, Liu Yu would definitely not believe it, and would only think that he was guilty of hysteria.

Liu Yu continued: "Although you have never revealed that thought in front of me, I have seen the way you act over the years, and I can always feel your true intentions. When Chang'an was besieged, although there were factors blocked by Wang Yun, so that you could not successfully lead the army into Chang'an, if your attitude was firm and you were willing to obey Wang Yun's dispatch, you would definitely be able to enter Chang'an, but you finally chose to return to Luoyang, and then stayed in Luoyang for two years, and you controlled Luoyang in your hands. ”

Now, Wang Yun has been sick and dead for half a year. The ministers of the court and the Son of Heaven were anxious to return the capital to Luoyang, because they had already had enough of staying in that dangerous place in Chang'an, but you used the unsettled war in Liaodong as an excuse that you never sent troops south, and sat back and watched Yuan Shao occupy Hedong, and sat back and watched the various forces in Guanzhong continue to fight, but you were unwilling to send troops to rescue the Son of Heaven from Chang'an. Although my father is inferior in military affairs, I can also see that with the strength of the troops you have in your hands now, I really want to meet the Son of Heaven with all my might. Even if the various forces in Guanzhong plus the forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will definitely not be able to stop you. ”

Liu Yu said these truths, Liu He couldn't refute them, so he could only stand in front of his father honestly like a child who had made a mistake and listen to him.

"Shiren, can you tell your father what he plans for Luoyang, Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven?" Liu Yu didn't seem to care about Liaodong's affairs, which made all the rhetoric that Liu He had prepared when he came back to his stomach.

Liu He sorted out some chaotic thoughts, and then looked at Liu Yu's eyes. He replied sincerely: "Father, the child has never thought of deceiving you, even if there are some things that you still don't understand, but please believe that what I have done must be worthy of the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin." When the child led the army to Chang'an. If you fight hard, you can indeed enter Chang'an, and you can even compete with Wang Yun and various forces in Guanzhong, but the child is unwilling to let the world see the constant disputes in the court. The decline of the Han dynasty was to return to Luoyang. When passing through Luoyang, the child didn't want to stay longer. It was only because he saw that the people near Luoyang were pitiful, so he temporarily changed his mind and stayed in Luoyang for two years, until Youzhou was besieged by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan and Gongsun Du. ”

After Wang Yun died of illness, the child paid attention to the situation in Guanzhong day and night, and in order to facilitate the response, he returned to Jicheng from the front line of Lingzhi, and also sent his most trusted general Zhao Yun to Luoyang secretly. The father suspected that the child deliberately prevented the young emperor from returning to Luoyang, and the child didn't want to defend anything, but just wanted to ask his father, if the child at this time did all the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Jizhou to Chang'an, and after a bloody battle, he leveled all the forces and welcomed the young emperor back to Luoyang, would the world be peaceful and peaceful from now on? And once the forces of Youzhou and Jizhou are exhausted, will the Hu people in the north make a comeback? Will Gongsun Du, who was driven to Lelang, wait for an opportunity to fight back? ”

Liu He asked three rhetorical questions in succession, which made Liu Yu suddenly fall into deep thought. As Liu He said, even if Liu He did not hesitate to tear his face with Yuan Shao and all the warlords in Guanzhong, and welcomed the emperor back to Luoyang after a wheel war, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, the Shixie family of Jiaozhou and various forces in Jiangdong, who of these warlords would really obey the orders of the imperial court?

Liu He didn't say a word to Liu Yu, that is, there is no other reason to talk about in the troubled times, whoever has the big fist is the truth, and the reason why he is not in a hurry to go south now is to accumulate strength that can compete with the heroes.

Liu Yu sighed, and no longer blamed Liu He about the affairs of Chang'an and Luoyang. "Se-in came here today, not just to repay his father's victory, right?"

Liu He nodded and put the list prepared in advance in front of Liu Yu.

"Liaozhou Mu?" Liu Yu suddenly frowned.

Liu He then carefully told Liu He the reasons and benefits of setting up a state in Liaodong, because Gongsun Du set up Pingzhou in front, so Liu Yu could accept it, and several of the lists drawn up by Liu He were old people who had followed Liu Yu for many years, and it could be seen that Liu He had never thought of getting rid of his father and going alone. Liu Yu finally agreed to Liu He's proposal and immediately wrote a recital to the imperial court, proposing to establish Liaozhou in eastern Liaodong, Pingju on the Samhan Peninsula, and Yongzhou west of Guanzhong.

After Liu Yu nodded, Liu He seized the time to talk to Zhao Gai, Wei You and others, and sent people to Li Min, Zhang Zhan, Liu Zheng, Du Ji and Han Heng to ask if they were willing to go to Liaozhou to take up their posts.

Liu He was originally worried that a few people on the pre-selection list might feel that Liaodong was a bitter cold place, and it was close to the various ethnic groups in Dongyi, and it was a place where soldiers were in danger, so it was estimated that few people were willing to go, and they had to go through a lot of words, and even asked Liu Yu to persuade him. However, the real situation was much beyond Liu He's expectations, whether it was Zhao Gai and Wei You, who talked directly to Liu He, or everyone who received Liu He's letter, they were all enthusiastic and willing to go to Liaozhou to take up their posts.

This time, Liu He was stumped. There are only a few attractive official hats in Liaozhou, if everyone runs over, it won't be enough! Besides, they all went to Liaodong, who will do the work here in Youzhou?

Liu He, Guo Jia, Tian Chou and other henchmen repeatedly deliberated and deliberated, and finally decided to send Youzhou to drive Zhao to Liaozhou to serve as the first state pastor, and Zhao Cai's vacant position was replaced by Qi Zhou, and Qi Zhou's vacant position was taken over by Wei You. The news also came back from the direction of Xiangping that Wang Lie was willing to take up the post of Liaozhou driver, which just saved Liu He from having to work hard. After deciding on the candidates for the state pastor and the other driver, Liu He made a slightly unexpected decision, he let Han Heng take the post of governor. In this way, the troika of Liaozhou's internal affairs is complete, and as for other adjutants such as Cao Peng and Cheng, Zhao should be responsible for selecting and appointing them, and Liu He will not interfere.

For the time being, there are only four states in Liaozhou, namely Liaoxi County, Wushu County, Xuansu County and Liaodong County, although it sounds a bit small, but in terms of territorial scope, it is larger than the six counties of Youzhou after the division combined. Liaodong County alone is almost half the size of Liaoning in later generations, and although Liaoxi County is divided into five counties west of Linyu, its area is second only to Liaodong, more than twice as large as Shanggu and Dai County.

Zhang Zhan, the Taishou of Youbeiping, was transferred to Liaodong County to serve as the Taishou, although the position was only a flat transfer, but because of the important position of Liaodong County, it was actually equivalent to being promoted again.

Tian Yu, the military division of the Zhenbei Army, was appointed as the Taishou of Xuansu County, where the position was very critical, and he had to deal with the Xianbei people, Fuyu people and Goguryeo people respectively.

The Taishou of Wushu County will be served by Zheng Xuan's Gaozu Guoyuan, although Guoyuan has only served as the commander of Xinchang County before, and it has not been for a long time, but he has already shown extraordinary talent, and this time it is used by the overstepping level.

The Taishou of Liaoxi County was appointed by the "old comrade" Cheng Xu, although there was a factor of some care, but because Liaoxi was located between the defense area of the Zhenbei Army and the Liao Army, there was no room for error.

The four celebrities who avoided Liaodong, Wang Lie served as the other driver, Guoyuan served as the Wuwu Taishou, and the remaining Bingyuan and Guan Ning had no intention of being officials, they decided to leave Liaodong and go to the Youyan Academy in Jicheng, while seeking advice from the great Confucian Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, while acting as Cai Yong's assistant, preaching and teaching.

The main officials in the interior were finally finalized, and the military personnel were already in place before that.

The Liao army was eventually expanded to 40,000 people, including 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and 10,000 sailors. Liu He didn't want to swell the Liao army to so many people at once, but the situation in Liaozhou was really complicated, and without so many troops, it was impossible to defend the Xianbei people, Goguryeo people, and Gongsun Du, who fled to Lelang, at the same time. Fortunately, the Fuyu people were more docile and willing to continue to act as the younger brothers of Fanbang, and they were in a position that separated the Xianbei and Goguryeo people in Liaodong, so as not to let these two forces hug together and threaten Liaozhou.

After Xu Huang received the new appointment, he did not complain, and immediately handed over the seal letter tiger talisman to Xian Yuyin, and then rushed to Gaoliu with only a guard of no more than two hundred. Although some people are reluctant to bring up the team by themselves, Xu Huang understands that the Youyan Army that is about to take over is the real strong army, and there will be a broader stage waiting for him in the future.

Zhang Nan and Zhang Kai, brothers who performed well this time, initially proved their ability and loyalty with practical actions, and were sent by Liu He to Xian Yuyin as the left and right deputy generals. (To be continued......)
