After leaving Changping, Liu He went to Jundu County and Anle County along the way, and the situation he grasped along the way was similar to that he knew in Changping, and the overall feeling was that the farther away from Jicheng, the worse the situation would be.

Liu He did not get angry at the military capital county order and the Le'an county order, but only reminded them to be diligent in political affairs and ensure that the government decree from the state was unimpeded. With Liu He's current status, although he can also admonish an official like the county commander in person, he has a division of labor with his father, and it is better to try to mix as little as possible in political affairs.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. Even if the county magistrate of each county in Youzhou is a good official with clean sleeves and honest and diligent administration, but in the case of no change in the bad environment, there will still be officials and wealthy families of all sizes who will do some illegal things openly and secretly, even if the county magistrate knows it, but he still has to rely on his subordinates to do things for him, so he can't completely cut off these problems of officialdom chaos and corruption.

In the final analysis, if we want to build an efficient and clean government agency, we must rely on the determination and strength of the perfect and meticulous system and the implementation of the system. Countless facts throughout the ages have proved that relying on the rule of man, morality, and etiquette cannot be long-term.

At the end of November, Liu He came to Juyong Pass, which is located in the mountains of the military capital, and met another general under his father, Weidun, who had been guarding the pass for a long time.

For this loyal and commendable general, although Liu He has never seen it, he is somewhat close and accepting in his heart. Although Liu Yu's subordinates have not produced any world-famous generals and top strategists in history, except for one Gongsun Ji who was bought by Gongsun Zhan, the rest of his subordinates have done it from the beginning, and even many people are willing to be loyal to him to the death.

Wei Dun abandoned his official position after Liu Yu's death, and stole Liu Yu's head halfway, this kind of "people are not cold when they go to tea" is enough to prove that he is worthy of Liu Yu's trust and reuse.

In the previous life, Liu He and his classmates visited the Juyongguan Great Wall during the summer vacation. But what he saw was the Great Wall built after the Ming Dynasty, which was fundamentally different from the Great Wall of the Qin and Han dynasties he saw at this time.

Wei Dun, who secretly received the secret report from Jicheng, had sent a large number of fine workers to guard various mountain passes on the army mountain a few days ago to wait for the arrival of Liu He and his party, so when Liu Hezhen arrived, he had already taken several lieutenants in the pass to stand under the city to greet him.

Although they have never met, the reputation of this eldest prince is too loud, so even an old man in Youzhou like Wei Dun does not dare to take it lightly, for fear of snubbing Liu He and getting into trouble.

Liu He saw such a big formation, and Zhilu Dao's father was still worried about his safety, so he quietly told Weidun the news of his Weifu visit to the north.

"The last general will be Yong, and the guard will be the end. I've seen the eldest son! Without waiting for Liu He to speak, Wei Dun led a group of generals to bow down and clasp their fists and salute Liu He.

"General Tail is a heavy general under my father, how can he be so polite, get up quickly!" Liu He walked a few steps forward and helped Weidun with his own hands.

Wei Dun and Wu Ruan guard Zhang Zan are about the same age, about forty or so, because they have been guarding the gate for a long time, the sun and the wind blow, so the skin is dark with a bit of healthy dark red, and he looks very capable.

Wei Dun welcomed Liu He into the city. There was already a diligent man who filled the table with steaming wine and food.

Liu He touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then complained: "Isn't this embarrassing for me, general, I didn't bring wine and meat to my brothers when I came, but I still want you to spend money to buy such a sumptuous meal of wine." It's really embarrassing! ”

Wei Dun waved his big hand and said boldly: "When Gongzi said this, he didn't take the thousands of masters in Juyong Pass as his own brothers!" This table of wine and food is just a little game that the sons and daughters hunt in the mountains, and it is really not worth it compared to the high-quality cotton clothes and armor that Gongzi allocates to Juyongguan every year. ”

Now that the food and drinks are ready. Liu He was not hypocritical, so he beckoned Tian Chou, Guo Jia, Murong Ping and Xu Huang to sit down together, and took the lead in tearing and chewing on the ground.

As Otun said. The meat on the wine table is all the game that the soldiers in the customs have hunted in the mountains of the military capital overnight after hearing that the eldest prince is coming, including roe deer, hares and pheasants, etc., which really makes Liu He have a great appetite, this is a real pure natural high-quality meat!

After the wine was warm, Wei Dun said: "Don't worry, the last general has carefully selected two thousand soldiers, when you go out of the customs to Juyong County, I will let them go with you!" ”

"The general has sent me so many soldiers, it won't empty the troops in the pass, right?" Liu He asked.

"Gongzi is too worried, now Juyongguan has already become a decoration, and the entire outer Great Wall and the inner Great Wall are governed by the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, where is there any Hu people who are not long-eyed who dare to come here to spread wild!"

When Wei Dun said this, he had both emotion and a little complaint, maybe it was because the strength of the wine came up, so everything was said outside Liu Hemian.

A young general beside Odun coughed a few times, reminding Odun to pay attention to the tone and content of his speech, but Odun did not react at all, and continued to complain: "Some of my guys were fortunate enough to participate in the defense of Jicheng at the beginning, and after they came back, they showed off in front of me, and this display was two years. Although the last general is not talented, he has also followed Lord Taifu to all parts of Youzhou, and now he can eat two or three strong men's meals at a meal, but he is really unwilling to see the scenery at this pass! ”

Seeing that the more he spoke, the young general beside him wanted to get up and help him out of the dining room, but was stopped by Liu He waving his hand.

Liu He fully understood Wei Dun's mood, he was not angry at all, but said to Wei Dun happily: "It's difficult for the general to guard this pass for six or seven years, it won't be long before I transfer the general to Yuyang, and then you don't think that the Wuhuan people are always causing trouble!" ”

When Wei Dun heard Liu He's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, his tongue was no longer big, and his wine strength was gone, he asked Liu He with some excitement: "Gongzi really wants to move a nest for the brothers in Juyongguan?" ”

Liu He nodded and said solemnly: "It is true!" I have long heard my father say that the general is a person who is both civil and military, and this time the state will not only hand over the military power of Yuyang to you, but also let you serve as the Taishou of Yuyang, and even the internal affairs will be arrested together, so your idle days of hiding in Juyong Pass and enjoying happiness are coming to an end! ”

This time, Wei Dun was really taken aback, he just wanted to take advantage of Liu He's visit to Juyong Pass this time to complain a few words, and fight for a chance for the brothers in the Guannai to show their heads, but he didn't expect Liu He not only to give him a promotion, but also to let him take the position of Yuyang Taishou. This was a big surprise to him.

Wei Dun shook his head like a rattle, and said: "As long as Childe can let me take my brothers to fight in Yuyang, I will be satisfied, Yuyang Taishou is not something that I can do as a martial artist." ”

Liu He saw that Wei Dunjian couldn't accept it, so he enlightened him and said: "The general should not resign, do you know that Zhang Zhan, the general of Wuruan Guan, who was promoted to the post of Taishou with you this time?" ”

"What? Zhang Zhan also has to be too guarded? ”

"Yes, even a martial artist like Zhang Zan has to serve as the Taishou of Zhuojun, why do you hesitate general?"

"However, the few counties in Youzhou that we can count have given us two Taishou hats at once. Can those noble families agree? ”

When Wei Dun said this, Tian Chou and Guo Jia were obviously a little uncomfortable, because the two of them were also from the scholar clan.

Liu He told Wei Dun: "Now is an extraordinary time, we should do extraordinary things!" Youzhou is located in the north of the Han Dynasty, and the governor of the county must understand both the army and the people, just like Lu Zigan, the Taishou of Yuyang. Don't worry, no one is born to be an official, and when the time comes, I will send you a few more capable staff, as long as you really care about the people. If you are diligent in government and love the people, you will definitely do a better job than anyone else! ”

Otsu touched the back of his head, and felt that what Childe said seemed to make sense. Who said that we can only be military generals in this life? Look at the ups and downs of Lu Zhonglang in this life, and lead the troops to fight for a while. One moment as an official in the court, and the other as a local governor, don't they all do a good job?

Liu He appeased Tail Dun and his subordinates, and all the generals felt that the future was promising. So they toasted Liu He one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more warm and cordial for a while.

After the wine was exhausted, Wei Dun stayed and said to Liu He: "Fang Cai will lose his words at the end of the wine." Don't be surprised. In my opinion, although the Great Wall between inside and outside is quiet now, Juyong Pass, as the gateway to the northwest of Jicheng, still needs to be guarded by loyal and reliable troops, and it cannot be abandoned! ”

Liu He told Wei Dun with a big tongue: "I have memorized the general's words, I will personally select trustworthy subordinates to take your place, Juyongguan is like a heart shield in Youzhou, I will not let it fall into the hands of outsiders!" ”

On the second day, Wei Dun accompanied Liu He to inspect Nanguan, Beiguan and Wengcheng, inspected the drills of the soldiers in the Guan, and inspected key parts such as weapons depots, grain depots, and water cellars.

Liu He took advantage of the gap when Tian Chou secretly sneaked to the building of Juyong County to contact the chief of Wuhuan, and settled down in the pass with peace of mind, and by the way, he carefully turned around the nearby scenic places.

The whole Jundu Mountain belongs to a remnant vein of the towering Taihang Mountains, which lies in the north of the land of Youyan, and has become a natural barrier for the Han people in the north of Youzhou to fight against the Saiwaihu people, and has become a key pass in the Spring and Autumn Period, and will still play a huge role in the future. Liu He had already figured out who would succeed Wei Dun, and he was going to develop this place into a second training base, and in the future, half of the newly recruited soldiers would be sent to Macheng for training, and half would be sent to Juyong Pass for training.

In this way, not only did he defend the Juyong Pass, but also saved his troops, and at the same time he could train a group of soldiers who were familiar with mountain warfare for Liu He.

Not long ago, Zhang Yan led the army to attack Changshan, and killed Sun Jin, the prime minister of Changshan.

The nature of the Montenegrin Army is different from that of the Yellow Turban Wanderers, this is a force that Liu He cannot grasp and control, among them there are both desperate poor people, and there are cruel mountain bandits and bandits, Yuan Shao, who has controlled the entire Hebei in history, has been plagued by the Montenegrin Army, Liu He is more prominent and noble than Yuan Shao's background, and it is almost impossible to subdue Zhang Yan, who was born in the Yellow Turban Army, for his own use.

Liu He stayed in Juyong Pass for a few days, and Tian Chou went and returned, bringing back a piece of news that made him bittersweet. (To be continued......)
