The news of Xiangping's conquest was transmitted back to Jicheng by Xian Yuyin as quickly as possible.

Because it is already winter, taking the sea route belongs to going against the wind, so it can only rely on the relay of horses by land, and when the good news is transmitted back to Jicheng, there are as many as four high-quality horses that are tired and dead all the way.

Rao is like this, when the news came from Xiangping to Jicheng, it still took half a month.

A few months ago, the Xuzhou Mi family sent someone to escort Qiao Xuan's family to Youzhou, when Liu He had just returned to Jicheng from Lingzhi, and suddenly received a letter from Mi Zhu, only to find that he not only robbed the wife of the little overlord Sun Ce, but it seems that Mei Zhoulang's original daughter-in-law Xiao Qiao also followed to Youzhou.

This is the most famous pair of sisters in the Three Kingdoms period!

What does that verse say? Dongfeng does not have a relationship with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chun locks Er Qiao. There are Star Picking Towers, Hopeful Heavenly Pavilions, and Youyan Academy in Jicheng, but there is no Tongque Terrace, so when the Qiao family's father and daughter came to Jicheng, Liu He could only temporarily settle them in his own mansion.

Now that Jicheng is being expanded, Liu He arranged for craftsmen to build a mansion for Qiao's family in a place near Xuanshui, and when the construction is completed, other streets and alleys under construction will also be built, just in time to settle the taxi who came from the south. The reason why Liu He placed the future Qiao family's mansion near the water was also to take into account that there was a lot of water in the south, and the water around Jicheng was also a little clear, so it was suitable for the Qiao family to live.

Because there is still at least half a year before it is fully completed, dozens of members of the Qiao family have nowhere to live for the time being, so Liu He settled Qiao Xuan's father and daughter and others in Gongzi's mansion, and the rest of them were temporarily placed in the Yingbin Garden.

The eldest lady Cai Yan was quite calm about the sudden appearance of two more delicate sisters in the house, but the second lady Mi Zhen felt a little awkward. Da Qiao's age is similar to Mi Zhen, but his appearance is better, and it is certain that Liu He will definitely marry Da Qiao. Mi Zhen can't compete with Cai Yan for favor, after all, Cai Yan and Liu He had another intimate time in Luoyang that no one else can replace, and the name of the first talented woman in the Han Dynasty is not called in vain.

Now Big Joe is here. also brought a more pretty little sister, two goblins pestered Liu He all day long, one would let Liu He take them to the water to see the scenery, one would let Liu He take them to Jundu Mountain to hunt, and one would let Liu He take them to the horse farm outside the city to ride horses, which made Mi Zhen very apprehensive after seeing it.

Before he passed the door, he entangled his husband so tightly, and when he really passed the door, wouldn't he have to sing songs every night, and let others live?

Mi Zhen's heart has a sense of crisis that cannot be told to outsiders. The only way can only be to get along with Liu He as much as possible, such as circling around Liu He with the Qiao sisters during the day, and letting Liu He, an unscrupulous person, make all kinds of embarrassing demands at night, and then try his best to meet and satisfy. Liu He only thought that Mi Zhen was envious after seeing Cai Yan have a child, and he was anxious to conceive blood and bones, so he also tried his best to meet Mi Zhen's requirements in terms of sexual affairs. Fortunately, Zhao Aier forced Liu He to regulate his body and laid a solid foundation for Liu He, otherwise Liu He would really not be able to deal with the demands of Cai Yan, Mi Zhen and Zhao Aier's three daughters at the same time.

This morning. Liu He yawned and walked into the study, lazily read a few official documents sent by the Command, and felt that there was nothing to do, so he turned his mind to the two sisters of the Qiao family.

"I thought Big Joe and Little Joe were sisters. Except for the age gap between the two, the rest should be about the same, but now it seems that it is a big mistake. Da Qiao is dignified and quiet, like a hibiscus out of the water. When you get along with her, you will unconsciously relax your mood, and in the future, you can be included in the harem, and you can taste it slowly. Little Joe is charming and lively. is like a gorgeous and colorful moon season, every time I see her, I always have an urge to push her down immediately. It is said that half of my sister-in-law's buttocks belong to my brother-in-law, why do I think half of it is not enough! Oops, it's depraved, it's really Nima's complete depravity......"

Just when Liu He wanted to get into trouble, Tian Chou and Guo Jia broke into the study with excited faces, and Tian Chou said loudly: "Son, Xiangping is a great victory!" ”

Hearing this, Liu He hurriedly got up. "What about the military newspaper, hurry up and let me take a look!"

Tian Chou hurriedly handed the letter from Xiangping that he had just received in his hand to Liu He.

"Okay, Xian Yuyin and Xu Huang did a great job! At the lowest cost, Xiangping was taken, Gongsun Du was driven to Lelang, and the idea we put forward before the war was fully realized...... "The more Liu He looked at it, the more he pleased, and praised the troops of Liaodong from time to time.

Guo Jia reminded: "Son, the matter in Liaodong needs to be concluded as soon as possible, and powerful people should be sent to restore the destroyed people's livelihood and order, and at the same time, the two troops under the command of Xian Yuyin and Xu Huang must be integrated to prevent the Goguryeo and Xianbei people from rebelling." ”

Liu He nodded, carefully looked at the map in the direction of Liaodong, and pondered for a long time.

"If I want to divide the territory of Youzhou into two from Lulongsai to Linyu Pass, the east one is named Liaozhou, and the west one continues to be kept as Youzhou, how difficult is it to do this?"

There were several layers of meaning revealed by Liu He's question, but Guo Jia did not answer immediately.

Looking at the topographic map of Youzhou on the map, which seemed to have two crab claws sticking out, Guo Jia and Tian Chou probably understood Liu He's intentions.

The north-south depth of Youzhou is not large, but the east-west span is more than 2,000 miles, and such a topographic territory is easy for careerists like Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan to divide one side. At this time, Youzhou included most of Hebei in later generations, the northeastern part of Shanxi, a part of Inner Mongolia, all of Liaoning, a part of Jilin and a part of North Korea. Especially in the era of slow information transmission and backward road transportation, when an order was issued from Jicheng, the state office, and it was transmitted to Lelang County, it had already been two or three months, and if Lelang had a civil uprising or was attacked by the Goguryeo, by the time Jicheng received the news and sent troops, perhaps the whole county in the east would have fallen.

Liu He proposed to take Lulongsai to Linyu Pass as the dividing line, and divide the current Youzhou into two, which is like cutting the big crab lying on the map from the middle, if it can really be realized, it can not only solve the official promotion of a large number of people, but most importantly, it has a strong role in promoting the development plan of Northeast China formulated by Liu He.

The development of the Northeast is a very critical layout for Liu He to win the Central Plains, and both Liu He himself and his henchmen attach great importance to it.

Guo Jia thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Gongsun Du is self-proclaimed Pingzhou Mu and Liaodong Marquis in Liaodong. Although this matter violated the rules of the imperial court, the imperial court had acquiesced to it a few years ago. If Childe wants to establish a new order in Liaodong, it is better to take bigger steps. ”

"Oh, how do you think it's big enough? My dividing Youzhou into two is already considered a rebellious approach. Liu He said self-deprecatingly.

"Gongzi may wish to propose to Taifu that he go to the imperial court and let Gongsun Du continue to lead the position of Pingzhou pastor, but the location of Pingzhou needs to be changed to the current location of Sanhan and Zhan Qi. At the same time, the land of the four counties originally occupied by Gongsun Du in Liaodong was set as Liaozhou. In order to reduce criticism, it was also suggested to the imperial court that the five counties west of Guanzhong, including Beidi County, Anding County, Hanyang County, Longxi County and Wudu County, should be set up as Yongzhou. In this way, the imperial court has two more states. The face is very bright, so naturally no one will accuse Gongzi of setting up a new state in Liaodong. ”

Guo Jia's idea, to put it bluntly, is to completely muddy the water, taking advantage of the time when Li Dao and Guo Yan and others are fighting in Guanzhong, and throwing Yongzhou, Liaozhou and Pingzhou at the same time, which can not only allow Li Guo and others to have another dispute for the position of Yongzhou pastor, but also appease Gongsun Du, who has just failed, and at the same time fulfill Liu He's idea of setting up a state in eastern Liaodong.

Although the court of Chang'an fell into chaos after Wang Yun's death, the emperor was still there. So nominally, the Han family still exists, and if Liu He wants to achieve some of his goals, he still has to rely on the golden signboard of his father Liu Yu, if he forcibly gets on the horse regardless of it. There will be more and more sequelae left. For example, this time, if Liu He wants to set up Liaozhou in Liaodong, he can't just go his own way, and he must mix his true purpose with other things. Full consideration was given to the reaction of all parties and the power of public opinion.

Liu He felt that Guo Jia's proposal was feasible, so he said: "I will go to see my father later, and he should not oppose the establishment of a state." The key now is to determine the candidates for military and political officials in Liaozhou as soon as possible. ”

Tian Chou said: "According to the current official system, the state pastor is in charge of the military and political power of a state, so it is necessary to send a person with high moral integrity and military and political knowledge to be competent, and this person must also be good at dealing with various ethnic groups in Dongyi. ”

"In addition to the state pastor, it is also necessary to select capable people in the middle of the county, and the selection of the county wardens in each county is also very important." Liu He added.

"Childe, how many troops do you plan to keep in Liaozhou in the future?" Guo Jia asked suddenly.

"The Duliao army must stay in Liaozhou, otherwise they will be sorry for the word 'Duliao' on their number. I hesitate now whether to form a separate army with the patchwork troops under Xu Huang's command, or to expand the Duliao army from 20,000 to 30,000. Alas, by the way, we are now discussing the selection of internal affairs officials in Liaozhou, Fengxiao, why do you ask me about the army? Liu He asked a little puzzled.

Guo Jia replied: "Because the selection of military and political officials in Liaozhou is an interrelated package arrangement, all aspects need to be taken into account. I think that the new establishment of Liaozhou is not suitable for two troops with different numbers, so it is better to expand the Liao army, and Xian Yuyin will continue to serve as the main general, as for Xu Huang, who has made great contributions, it is not appropriate to continue to stay in Liaodong and be entrusted with reuse. Once the chief general who remained in Liaozhou was determined, it would be easy for internal affairs officials to choose, and the candidates for the state pastor could be selected from among Zhao Gai, Li Min, Wei You, and Zhang Zhan, and the candidates for the four county guards could be selected from among the four scholars of Liaodong, and the candidates for the four county guards could focus on Tian Yu, Du Ji, Liu Zheng, and Han Heng. ”

The matter of official appointment is very sensitive, even if Guo Jia has a suitable candidate in mind, he will not name names, but will only provide Liu He with a list that can be selected, as for the specific selection of who to go, it is completely up to Liu He to measure and grasp.

Liu He thought for a moment, then took out a pen and wrote down a list on paper. I saw him write: Liaozhou pastor candidate, Li Min or Zhao Cai. Liaozhou don't drive candidates, Wang Lie or Wei You. If Li Min is willing to go to Liaozhou, then don't drive Wei You; If Li Min is unwilling, he will send Zhao to assist, and Wang Lie will assist him. If Wang Lie refuses to come out, he can consult the wishes of Guan Ning, Guoyuan and Bing Yuan. Liaozhou Zhizhong candidate, Du Yi or Han Heng. The four county Taishou candidates are Zhang Zhan, Tian Yu, Guo Yuan, Du Ji, and Han Heng.

dismissed Zhao Yun, the chief general of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, appointed Zhao Yun as the governor of all armies on the South Yellow River Road, Zhang He, the chief general of the Youyan Army, took over Zhao Yun's post, and Xu Huang, the deputy general of the Liao Army, took over Zhang He's post.
