Zhu Jun was going to pick and choose not to do it during the first court meeting, but this time he suppressed Liu Xiehe and the ministers in the court who had their own thoughts. In order to appease Zhu Jun, the emperor finally adopted Zhu Jun's suggestion and prepared to grant Liu Yu the position of Grand Sima, and at the same time awarded Liu Yu's vacated position as a hussar general to Liu He, who had made great contributions, and at the same time let Liu He be the governor of the military and political affairs of the five northern states.

The ministers in the court, including the emperor, felt that it was really dangerous to reward Liu Yu's father and son so much, but they did not see clearly the fact that if Liu Yu's father and son were not rewarded in this way, then Luoyang would soon become the second Chang'an.

Zhu Jun can see more clearly than anyone else that if the current imperial court wants to maintain, it must rely on the strength of Liu Yu's father and son, compared to other ambitious forces, Liu Yu will at least not kill innocents indiscriminately like Dong Zhuo, and Liu He will not hold the Son of Heaven hostage like Lu Bu to respect himself. Since the Son of Heaven has returned to Luoyang, there must be a minister with sufficient prestige and strength to preside over the situation, and Liu Yu is undoubtedly the best candidate. If you want Liu Yu to come to Luoyang, you must hand over all the forces that Liu Yu has run in the north to Liu He, so that Liu Yu can not only have enough strength to suppress others, but also appease Liu He, so that he will not do something unforeseeable.

Zhu Jun knew that time was short, and he didn't want to see Luoyang, which had finally regained its vitality, suffer from the disaster of war again, so he insisted on recalling Liu Yu from the north to Luoyang, so that Liu He could continue to stay in the north to deter the forces of various states.

Soon after the end of the court meeting, Li Yan knew the content of the court meeting, and Zhu Jun's two suggestions were somewhat unexpected by him, but that was all. Although the fact that the Son of Heaven was still in Luoyang was beyond Li Yan's control, he was not worried that after the emperor came to Luoyang, he would fall into the manipulation of others. There were nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses near Luoyang who obeyed Liu He's orders, and the city of Luoyang was completely controlled by the Dragon and Tiger Guards. Once there are signs of endangering Liu Yu's father and son, Li Yan will strangle them as soon as possible.

The impact of the Son of Heaven returning to Luoyang is still slowly fermenting, and the latest appointment of Liu Yu's father and son has just been on the road, and Li Yan and Zhao Yun have finally waited for instructions from Jicheng.

Liu He's instructions to Zhao Yun and Li Yan were made when he received the momentous news of the emperor's sudden appearance in Hanoi, and by the time his instructions arrived in Luoyang and Hanoi, the emperor had already returned to Luoyang with the support of Zhang Yang and a group of ministers. Even so, Liu He's instructions predicted everything that might happen next, and gave Zhao Yun and Li Yan very detailed instructions.

Liu He demanded that Zhao Yun take over Hanoi in its entirety and ensure that Hanoi was connected to Wei County in Jizhou. At the same time, prepare to attack the remnants of Lu Bu in Hedong. Although Liu He made this decision, he didn't know that Zhang Yang intended to enter Luoyang, but it also pointed out the direction for Zhao Yun.

Liu He instructed Li Yan that the emperor should not be stopped from returning to Luoyang at any time, not only could not be stopped, but also made all the "preparations" for the emperor's return to Beijing, especially the task of defending the palace, and absolutely not let others interfere.

Liu He finally told Zhao Yun and Li Yan that he would rush from Jicheng to Yecheng as quickly as possible. During this period, try to keep the situation stable and do not send troops to fight or cause friction easily.

Knowing that Liu He was going south, Zhao Yun and Li Yan felt that the heavy pressure in their hearts had suddenly eased a lot.

On the wide official road leading from Jicheng to Gaoyi, the seat of Jizhou, a vast group of soldiers and horses is marching south in an orderly manner. Wide and comfortable in a carriage. Liu He was in the same car with Guo Jia and Tian Chou, and the three of them were discussing a series of recent changes in Chang'an and Luoyang.

Liu He said with emotion: "I always feel that the recent events have a bit of a weird taste, obviously the situation is under our control, and suddenly the emperor ran to Huai County." All previous deployments were disrupted at once. ”

Guo Jia frowned and said: "It is only a matter of time before the emperor returns to Luoyang, although it is beyond our expectations and control, but it is not necessarily a bad thing." At least it didn't fall into Yuan Shao's hands. And Luoyang has been operated by us for many years, and it is not so easy for others to intervene. ”

Tian Chou took the information he had just received on the way, and reported to Liu He: "I just received the news that Zhang Yang is preparing to escort the emperor from Huaixian to Luoyang; Lü Bu held the fleeing ministers of Chang'an and their families hostage towards Anyi, and Huangfu Jianshou followed Lü Bu to Anyi in order to ensure the safety of these ministers; Jia Kui, who was stationed in Shaanxi County, received Li Dao's envoys and returned several captured Lu Bu generals from Li Dao with a batch of grain and grass; Li Wei lost his territory in Guanzhong and was unable to continue to confront Yuan Shao, so he intended to retreat to Tongguan and rely on the support of Luoyang to continue to hold on. ”

After listening to Tian Chou's report, Liu He pondered for a moment and asked Guo Jia: "Did you send someone to summon Zilong and ask him not to send troops to Hedong for the time being, so as not to force Lu Bu to be angry with the heads of the ministers?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Lu Bu has now become a trapped beast, and the first section of Lu Yi who occupies Jiangyi will definitely not make him feel better, in order to avoid Lu Bu and Huangfu Jianshou being annexed by Lu Yi, it is best to let Zilong send troops to Jiguan to contain Lu Yi." ”

After Liu He talked about Lu Bu, he suddenly remembered that there were still a few generals under Lu Bu that he had always wanted to subdue, so he asked Tian Chou: "What are the names of the captured Lu Bu generals that Li Dao used to exchange grain and grass with Jia Kui?" ”

Tian Chou replied: "There are three main people, whose names are Gao Shun, Qin Yi and Xu Yan. ”

After hearing Gao Shun's name, Liu He was overjoyed. "Immediately send someone to Shaanxi County and bring these captives to Yecheng for me!"

Five thousand dragon and tiger guards escorted Liu He from Jicheng to Gaoyi, Liu Hui personally went out of the city to greet him, Liu He rested in the city for a day, and continued to march south every other day. On the way, Liu He received a secret letter sent by Li Yan and learned what happened during the Luoyang court.

Liu He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The official of the imperial court is already on the way, it is estimated that Wei County has already passed by this time, this time my father will definitely go to Luoyang, and I can't stop it if I want to." ”

Guo Jia quipped: "The advantages of Taifu going to Luoyang outweigh the disadvantages, and you have been promoted to hussar general all of a sudden, you should be happy." ”

"What is there to be happy about, in the past, my father was sitting in Jicheng, I can rest assured and boldly go around, if my father goes to Luoyang, everything in the north will fall on me in the future, and I will not tire people to death. Moreover, with his father's benevolent character, he may not be angry with the ministers in the court who can only talk about it! Liu He complained, and seemed not to be excited or happy about the promotion of the father and son at the same time.

Things in the Sili area are changing too quickly, Guo Jia and Tian Chou also understand Liu He's depressed mood at this time, so they patiently listened to Liu He's complaints and didn't interrupt.

After Liu He's dry mouth stopped, Guo Jia said slowly: "Since Lord Taifu is going to Luoyang, Shiren can't be too far away from him in the future, I think I should take this opportunity to move the command office from Jicheng to Yecheng, so that it is not only convenient to give orders, but also to deal with Luoyang in the shortest possible time." ”

Tian Chou supported Guo Jia's proposition and echoed and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very reasonable, Jicheng is too far away from Luoyang, and it will take at least ten days for the news to be transmitted back and forth, and now Luoyang has become the center of the storm. This can not only guide Zilong and Zhengfang in their actions in a short period of time, but also a huge deterrent to Cao Cao in Yanzhou. ”

"You don't need to say much about these benefits, I understand them. But my father and I have left Jixian County, who will guard the big family business over there? ”

"Childe is too worried, since you have arrived in Jizhou, you can personally inquire about the affairs here, and you can hand it over to Liu Hui over there, and with the talent he has shown in governing Jizhou in the past few years, he can be completely competent."

"Do you think this is good, I will find a position for Han Fu in Luoyang, let him go to Luoyang with Taifu, Han Fu's vacated position of Youzhou pastor will be taken over by Liu Hui, and Liu Hui's vacated position in Jizhou will be concurrently held by Zitai, and Jizhou will be concurrently served by Fengxiao."

Liu He has always held the title of Jizhou pastor, but in fact, the political affairs of Jizhou are basically handed over to Liu Hui to manage, this time Liu Hui was transferred back to Youzhou, and then officially entrusted with the position of state pastor, which can be regarded as justifiable. The original Jizhou Don't Drive was frustrated, and after the Frustration went to Qingzhou, it was always empty, so Liu He made up his mind to promote Guo Jia and Tian Chou, so he put the hat of Jizhou Don't Drive and Zhizhong on the heads of the two.

Guo Jia thought about it and didn't shirk it, after all, he and Tian Chou would accompany Liu He in Yecheng in the future, and with the two hats of Beijia and Zhizhong, it would be easier to deal with some things.

Tian Chou reminded Liu He and said: "Transferring Liu Hui back to Youzhou is the best candidate, after all, he presided over the overall situation when he was protecting the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and he has also made remarkable achievements in Jizhou in recent years, but if he goes to Youzhou, Zhao Beijia is only afraid that there will be mustard in his heart." ”

Liu He felt that Tian Chou's analysis was also reasonable, and after a little consideration, he said with a smile: "Regarding the appointment of Zhao Beijia, it is actually very simple, I have to be the governor of the military and political affairs of the five northern states, and the hat of a state pastor, what else is there to be reluctant to, this position of Jizhou pastor will be left to him, what do you think?" ”

"It's a very safe arrangement. It's just that I don't know what kind of position Shiren wants to arrange for Han Fu in Luoyang? ”

"Hehe, this one is even easier! Now there are very few ministers in the Luoyang court, only Sikong Zhao Wen is in power among the three dukes, and only two of Jiuqing are in power, just give Han Fu a position of guard or court lieutenant, I'm afraid that Han Fu can wake up with a smile when he dreams, right? ”

Guo Jia and Tian Chou looked at Liu He with a smug face, and they were full of slander in their hearts. This guy is really not like words, he actually uses such a prominent official position as the court Jiuqing as a tool to buy and appease people's hearts, if it is known to outsiders, he may not be able to poke his backbone!
