After Guo Jia left, Liu He came to Taifu's mansion by car, reported to his father Liu Yu the specific situation of Baishan's victory, and then told his attitude towards Yan Rou and his idea of preparing to build a city north of Baishan.

Liu Yu was very happy after hearing this, and expressed his satisfaction that Xiao Cavalry Guard was able to wipe out Yan Rou's strength in such a short period of time. Although Liu Yu is generous-hearted, it doesn't mean that he likes to be bullied all the time, especially by the Hu people in the north.

Liu Yu told his son: "Yan Rou was caught by your subordinates, how to deal with it, I will not interfere." The advantages of building a city in the north of Baishan outweigh the disadvantages, but it is not advisable to rush it, and Guo Fengxiao's suggestion is more safe and feasible. As for the appointment of the Governor of Baishan, I have also carefully observed Du Ji during this time, and I feel that this person is indeed loyal, reliable, down-to-earth and capable, so I might as well let him go out of the country to experience a few years. ”

"Xie Lu, thank your father for understanding and supporting the child!"

"Between you and my father and son, why should you be so vulgar and polite. You are not doing these things for personal gain, nor for the selfishness of my Liu family, even if you are my eldest son, I will not avoid suspicion, and I should strongly support you! ”

After the father and son talked about some more things in the study of the West Courtyard, Liu He walked out with a letter of appointment that had just been stamped with Liu Yu's big seal.

Soon after Liu He returned to Gongzi's Mansion, Xu Miao and Du Ji, who had received the notice, arrived one after another.

The furnishings in the small reception room were completely arranged according to Liu He's requirements, all the official hat chairs and four-legged coffee tables, and there were no couches, cushions, low long tables and other furniture, Xu Miao and Du Yi sat on the chairs and talked with Liu He.

Liu He asked the two: "Have you heard the news of the victory in Baishan?" ”

Xu Miao replied: "I have heard of it, but the specific situation is unknown. ”

Du Yi replied: "I just learned about it, I am very happy!" ”

Liu He handed the military report sent by Guo Jia to Xu Miao: "This is the specific situation, you two take a look." ”

Xu Miao first took the military newspaper and read it carefully, and then passed it to Du Ji.

Liu He was not in a hurry, and drank tea slowly with a tea bowl. I feel that my daughter-in-law Cai Yan's skills in making tea have improved.

Without waiting for Liu He to speak, Xu Miao took the initiative to ask with an excited face: "Childe, you called me to my humble position, did you ask me to dispose of prisoners of war?" ”

Liu Hexiao asked Xu Miao: "What?" Disposal captives are now addicted? ”

Xu Miao nodded: "It's really addictive to do this!" Every time I face thousands of captives, I always feel like I'm saving people. In the past, it was all about transforming the Han army, but this time I want to try to make it more difficult, to see if I can change these uncivilized Hu people. ”

Liu He pursed his lips and said with some suspicion: "I think it's difficult, for these unruly Hu people, in addition to leather whips and swords, it is easier to use." The kind words of persuasion to them made them feel that they had an opportunity. ”

Du Ji, who had already finished reading the military newspaper, raised his head and said: "Gongzi's statement represents the understanding of most Han people, and it is indeed profound and thorough, but it is also biased. ”

Du Yi's words were tactful, but the meaning revealed in his words still didn't quite agree with Liu He's point of view.

Liu He has always been more tolerant of the different views and opinions of his subordinates, and he can listen to them, and today is no exception, he encouraged Du Yi and said: "Bohou should talk about it, how to treat Hu Cai is not biased. ”

Du Yi pondered for a moment. He said: "Hu people are fierce and reckless, and the environment in which they live has a lot to do with it, if they can live a stable life like the Han people, and accept the education of rules and etiquette from an early age, they may not be inferior to the Han people." In the past, when Emperor Wu was seriously ill. Zeng entrusted the ministers Huo Guang and Jin Riyan to assist the crown prince, and bequeathed Jin Riyan as the marquis. After Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, Jin Riyan took on the important task of assisting the young lord and did his best. After his death, he was named a marquis and buried in Maoling. The descendants of Kim Il Pan are famous for their loyalty and filial piety, and they have survived for seven generations. He has made many meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty. Jin Riyan was originally the son of the Hun Hutu King, if you talk about race, he is an authentic foreigner, but he has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations, which shows that the Hu people are not inferior to the Han people after being educated. ”

Liu He was born in history in his previous life, and he is no stranger to Jin Riyan as an example of Du Ji, a politician from the Xiongnu who has established immortal achievements in maintaining the unity and social stability of the Han Dynasty, and is also a far-sighted minority politician in Chinese history.

Xu Miao agreed with Du Ji's opinion, and echoed and said: "Jin Riyan still has descendants alive, and the current Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan is one of them. ”

Liu He himself is not the kind of chauvinist who is Han supremacy, he does not have many prejudices against different ethnic groups, but he finds it unacceptable for the backward and brutal northern nomads to conquer and enslave the Han people again and again.

Liu He said to Xu Miao and Du Ji: "I summoned you here today for the long-term consideration of the north. Jing Shan tried his best to convert those captured Hu people this time, and if he could achieve obvious results, it would be very good. Bohou went to the north of Baishan to take up his post, you might as well do your best according to your heart, and I will give you three to five years to see the after-effects. ”

Du Ji got up and solemnly accepted the appointment certificate of the Governor of Baishan from Liu He's hand, and said: "Thank you for your trust, and I asked Gongzi to promise to do the next two things before going north." ”

Liu He hurriedly said: "In addition to money and people's power, you can mention other conditions." ”

Xu Miao said: "I don't ask Gongzi for money and people, I only ask Gongzi to send 3,000 soldiers and horses from the Xiao cavalry guard to stay in the north of Baishan, and at the same time select people with lofty ideals from Youzhou to go to Baishan to do things." ”

Liu He said: "There is no problem in temporarily sending a cavalry guard to stay in the army, but the time should not exceed two years, and in the future, we must rely on the Governor's Mansion to defend itself, otherwise I will lose the significance of my establishment of the Baishan Governor's Mansion." As for sending scholars to the north, I can only do my best, after all, there are still a few men of courage and ambition like you. ”

Du Ji didn't delay any longer, and said goodbye to Liu He with Xu Miao and left. When the two parted when they walked to the intersection of the city, Xu Miao took a car to the Yamen of the Command Office in the north of the city to mobilize his subordinates and prepare to take over the reform of prisoners of war, while Du Ji returned to the Taifu Mansion to pack his personal belongings and prepare to immediately rush to the north of Baishan to take up his post.

In order to ensure Du Ji's personal safety, Liu He transferred 20 people from the guard camp as Du Ji's personal guards, and stayed by Du Ji's side for a long time in the future.

Du Ji and Xu Miao left not long after. Li Ru came to meet Liu He again.

Li Ru rushed over after receiving Guo Jia's notice, although Liu He instructed him to be responsible for interrogating Yan Rou's affairs, but Li Ru was still a little unsure of Liu He's attitude, so he needed to meet Liu He in person and ask Liu He whether he wanted Yan Rou to live or let Yan Rou die.

Liu He was not surprised by Li Ru's arrival, he told Li Ru unmistakably: "Don't care about my attitude, you must be impartial and conclusive, if Yan Rou is really not involved." and spared him his life; If Yan Rou secretly knew or even masterminded the people, then the Guangyang Yan clan should die! ”

Li Ru understood Liu He's attitude, so he nodded and left.

After finishing these things, it was already in the afternoon, Liu He asked people to move out a rocking chair, put it under the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and lay down comfortably, ready to take a nap. Cai Yan, a talented woman, put down the affairs in her hand and came to the backyard with a pu fan in hand. sat next to Liu He and cooled him down.

The good times didn't last long, Guo Jia went and returned, and broke into the backyard with a secret report in his hand.

Cai Yan got up to give a blessing to Guo Jia and went to the study. Only Liu He and Guo Jia were left in the hospital.

Guo Jia reported to Liu He: "The urgent report just sent back from the direction of Qingzhou, Liu Bei deceived Tian Kai and a soldier, and now he has left Qingzhou and gone straight to Xuzhou. ”

Liu He pondered for a moment and said to Guo Jia: "Tian Kai has barely 20,000 soldiers and horses. Now that he has been deceived by Liu Bei, he is afraid that he will be even more sad. Liu Bei went to Xuzhou this time, and he must have seen Tao Qian's life soon. It was the calculation of the dove to occupy the magpie's nest. ”

"Childe, Liu Bei is very ambitious, if he is allowed to enter Xuzhou, it will become a big disaster in the future!"

"It's too late for us to stop it now, I hope Mi Fang can persuade his brother Mi Zhu after returning to the East China Sea, don't follow Liu Da'er to fool around, lest hundreds of millions of family properties be lost."

Guo Jia said again: "Liu Bei left Qingzhou, Tian Kai has not much time left, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are likely to do something to him, I don't know what Gongzi has planned?" ”

Liu He replied: "Let's not go to Qingzhou for the time being, let's get to the bottom of the troubled waters, and first figure out the things in Youzhou and Jizhou." Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are now very close, one of the main reasons is that they are all wary of me, it is better to sit back and watch the two of them rob Qingzhou, and there will naturally be many conflicts in the future. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "I think so too." Now that our troops in Jizhou are self-defending, if we boldly send troops to Qingzhou, it will not only make the Yuan and Cao families more vigilant, but also arouse the suspicion of Beihai Kong Rong and Xuzhou Tao Qian, it is better to let these families bite each other, and we will concentrate on internal governance and Liaodong affairs. ”

Between the conversations, Liu He remembered something, and he asked Guo Jia: "What has been the recent movement of Gongsun Du in Liaodong?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "Since the last time Gongsun Du sent soldiers and horses in Jicheng was defeated, he sent troops to completely block the road passage and sea channel to Liaoxi, and now it is very difficult to infiltrate Liaodong to spy on intelligence, and there is no important news back recently." ”

Liu He sighed and said: "This Gongsun Du, if you continue to do this, sooner or later you will have to follow in the footsteps of Gongsun Zhan." On his side, there are obviously big talents such as Wang Lie, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and Guo Yuan available, but they have to be led by the nose by the two bastards Yang Yi and Liu Yi, what a waste of talents! ”

"Childe, why don't we come up with an idea to lure Wang Lie and the others to Jicheng?"

"It's a bit of a hanging. Since the last time Xian Yu Minghui and Han Zipei went to Liaodong, Gongsun Du sent people to monitor Wang Lie, Guan Ning and others, if they didn't do it well, not only could they not attract these wise men, but they would kill them. ”

"I'll take care of this matter, and Childe just wait for the good news."

"Okay, if you can get a few of them, I'll give you a big gift!"

"What gift?"

"It doesn't work to say it now."

"......, Childe, I don't take you like this!" (To be continued......)
