In the early morning, the fog is hazy.

Liu Chuang, as usual, got up early in the morning.

Foggy days are not suitable for morning exercises, let alone strenuous exercise. Therefore, Liu Chuang did not practice as usual, and after reading the books in the study for a while, he walked out of the mansion and went out of the north gate of Zhuo County under the protection of Li Yifeng and other flying bear guards, and inspected the barracks that Zhuo County had become.

It's September, and it's late autumn.

News came from western Liaoning, and some time ago Liaodong ushered in a cooling.

At this time, Liaodong has entered the midwinter season in advance.

And Liu Chuang's gaze also shifted from Youzhou to Northern Xinjiang...... In mid-September, Lü Bu swore in the White Wolf Fort and led an army of 10,000 to conquer the northern frontier.

This expedition was divided into three routes.

Lu Bu sat in the Chinese army, with Xiaofeng and Tian Chou as military divisions, and it was mighty and mighty, approaching Daxianbei Mountain.

Wei Yan and Xiahou Lan each led 2,000 cavalry, all of them riding on two wings, and they were running and attacking. At the same time, Jian Ju, the lord of Fuyu State, recalled Mayu, the prince of Fuyu, and worshiped Mayu as a general, gathered 8,000 soldiers and horses, and sent troops from Fuyu.

At this time of year, it is also the time when Xianbei people's activities are most frequent.

It's just that this year, due to the Xianbei side experiencing a fiasco, Yan Liyou is busy appeasing the adults of the tribes, so that he has no time to go south. The Han army sent troops at this time, which immediately caused turmoil throughout northern Xinjiang. Although Lu Bu is old, his prestige is still there.

After ten years, Yuhu returned to northern Xinjiang.

The Xianbei people who had experienced Lu Bu's demeanor back then were suddenly panicked.

Liu Chuang was in Zhuo County, but he closely followed the development of the situation in northern Xinjiang.

The war in Youzhou has basically come to an end, Zhang He Gaolan conquered Yi County, and built a barrier in the south of Youzhou with the help of the Yishui moat.

And Zhao Yun and Tian Yu also quickly gained a firm foothold after they were stationed in Wuruan Pass.

After the situation in Zhuo County stabilized. At the same time, he ordered the abolition of Guangyang County, and merged the two counties of Anci and Guangyang under the rule of Guangyang County into Zhuo County, and then divided Changping, Jixian and Jundu counties into Yuyang.

There were only five counties under the rule of Guangyang County, but it was to be independent into one county.

In Liu Chuang's view, this was inevitably a bit wasteful, and Guangyang County was simply abolished. It is also possible to remove a county from the post of a magistrate.

There are not many people available in Liu Chuang's hands, and Han Heng continues to remain unchanged for Daijun, on the one hand, because Han Heng is indeed a talent, and on the other hand, he wants to use Guò Han Heng to appease the Haoqiang of Youzhou. After that, Liu Chuang transferred Buqi from Lelang County to Yuyang. Ordered him to take over Yuyang County. Lu Dai succeeded Buqi as the Taishou of Lelang County, and also increased the population survey of the four counties in Liaodong.

It has been five years of Jian'an, and it has reached the end of the year.

In a few months, it will be the New Year......

During this year, Liaodong Lelang and Xuansu County had regained their calm and were completely incorporated into Liu Chuang's control.

Yan Rou was in Goguryeo County. He defeated the Goguryeo rebels several times, and with the help of Bachi, he killed the Goguryeo king Origu in August.

The emperor's family has no family affection, which is undoubtedly prominent among the Goguryeo royal family.

The belt Gubaqi was originally a father and son. In the end, they fought each other, even to the death.

After Oigu was killed, the situation in Goguryeo County gradually eased. Yan Rou saw that the Goguryeo people had stopped resisting, so he stopped the massacre of the Goguryeo people. Changed to Huairou means to appease the Goguryeo people. on this. Liu Chuang was quite appreciative. The Goguryeo people are also human beings, and they are also good laborers. If it is really killed, then the huge Goguryeo can only become a barren, why bother?

Proper pacification can strengthen the control of Goguryeo.

Similarly, Yan Rou vigorously recruited Han people from the Korean Peninsula, and also strengthened his control over Goguryeo.

Since Huan Ling, there have been countless Han people who have migrated to the Korean Peninsula from the Central Plains to escape the war. As a rough estimate, there are about a hundred thousand people. Such a population is naturally not too large on the Korean Peninsula, and there are still three Koreans on the Korean Peninsula, which is also extremely large, squeezing the living space of the Han people. Now, the Han army's occupation of Goguryeo has also given the Han people on the Korean Peninsula a backbone.

In September, Yan Rou ordered Pang De to lead his troops into the Korean Peninsula and began the conquest of the Korean Peninsula.

The three Koreas of Korea are still good at being powerful on the Korean Peninsula, but in the face of the well-trained Han army, they are a little inadequate.

Less than a month after Pound entered the Korean Peninsula, he fought three consecutive wars and captured more than 10,000 Koreans...... Immediately afterwards, Gan Ning also led the navy to land around the Korean Peninsula and flanked Pang De, causing Samhan to retreat one after another.

For the battle of Sanhan, Liu Chuang didn't care.

Sanhan sounds very powerful, but in fact it is a tribal alliance, and it can't resist the footsteps of the Han army at all.

The climate of Goguryeo was not suitable for farming, but Samhan was extremely suitable.

Liu Chuang needs a large number of slaves to farm for him, so Sanhan is undoubtedly his best choice at present......

Samhan has a foundation in this area and has a large population.

As long as it is done properly, Liu Chuang believes that these three Hans can become a granary for him to ensure his future war against the Central Plains.

However, such a series of expeditions were also extremely hard for the Han army.

Since the troops entered Youzhou, Liu Chuang has often been plagued by insufficient troops. If it weren't for the continuous collection of Yuan's prisoners, Liu Chuang would not even be able to dispatch soldiers and horses to guard Yi County. Thinking of this, Liu Chuang is also thinking about whether he can temporarily stop the pace of expansion......

Of course, he can't stop yet!

"Kong Ming, where are you now?"

"Back to Uncle Huang, the day before yesterday, Kong Ming ordered General Ziyi to lead his troops into Juyong, and he and General Zhongkang led their troops westward and marched towards Macheng."

The person who answered Liu Chuang's question was a young man who didn't look very old.

Born with a baby face, when you smile, a pear vortex will be revealed, and she looks extremely handsome.

This young man is Lu Yu.

After Liu Chuang broke through Changping, he immediately ordered someone to find Lu Yu.

After he seized Zhuo County, Lu Yu brought his sister-in-law and nephew to Zhuo County and became Liu Chuang's staff.

Liu Chuang is now extremely short of people around him.

Although he was constantly recruiting talents, he was quickly entrusted with important tasks.

Xu Shu is like this, and Bei Zhan is like this...... Lu Yu is not very old, but he has a family background and is extremely talented. Even Zheng Xuan, who never asks about political affairs. also sent someone to find Liu Chuang and asked Liu Chuang to take more care of Lu Yu. Since this is the case, Liu Chuang simply appointed Lu Yu as the general's subordinate and was responsible for handling official business for him.

After listening to Lu Yu's answer, Liu Chuang nodded and glanced at Lu Yu with appreciation.

With such a secretary's deposit, Liu Chuang is indeed much easier.

Lu Yu is careful, and has the ability to never forget, and follows Liu Chuang's side. saved Liu Chuang a lot of trouble.

"So, is the Battle of Upper Valley coming to an end?"

With the killing of Nanlou, Shanggu County did not have many soldiers and horses to mobilize.

Although Zhuge Liang only had 6,000 people in his hands this time, it was enough to sweep away the entire Shanggu County...... Most importantly, after the capture of Upper Valley County. Liu Chuang can be directly connected with Xun Chen of Yunzhong County. Nayunzhong County is located in the border wilderness, eleven county seats, but the population is only more than 5,000 households, less than 30,000 people, extremely desolate. But after all, it is an important place in the north of the Han Dynasty, and it is also a hub for connecting with the outside world.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for Xun Chen to stay in the clouds.

But as a barrier for Liu Chuang to the west. Yunzhong County needs a strong person to guard it.

As for the candidate for the Taishou of Yunzhong County, Liu Chuang is still considering it. Not only in the clouds, but also in Kamiya-gun, we must settle down as much as possible.

"Zijia, who do you say is the one who guards the clouds?"

Lu Yu thought for a moment. smiled and said: "If you say that you are a suitable candidate, Yu Dou has the courage to recommend one person, and you will definitely be able to ensure that you have no worries in the clouds." ”

"Who?"

"It's Captain Tian Yu Tian Guorang."

Let Tian Yu guard the clouds?

Liu Chuang's thick eyebrows frowned, revealing a deep groan.

Speaking of which. Tian Yu is indeed a suitable candidate.

Historically, he was stationed in Shanggu Guangning to protect the post of captain of Wuheng. It is indeed conscientious and conscientious, and the northern Xinjiang is worry-free. Tian Yu is a person who is good at strategy and has more means. And he is not like Gongsun Zhan, who only knows toughness, but also knows how to be gentle and appeased. Thinking about it, Tian Yu is indeed the most suitable for now. It's just that he is now assisting Zhao Yun to sit in Wuruan Pass, if he is transferred to Yunzhong County......

As if seeing Liu Chuang's hesitation, Lu Yu said softly: "The lord is worried about General Zilong? ”

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

In fact, Liu Chuang's love for Zhao Yun is not a secret in the Han army.

However, most people will think that the reason why Liu Chuang loves Zhao Yun is because Zhao Yun is his brother-in-law, who loves Wu and Wu......

No one said anything about that.

Lu Yu said softly: "The lord loves General Zilong, Yu can understand it.

However, if the lord wants General Zilong to become a real helper, he needs to let him hone more. He is with the country, and with the country, he can indeed gain a lot. However, in this way, General Zilong can only become a general, and it is difficult to become a great weapon.

Even if he lets General Zilong take charge alone, he may not be convincing.

In that case, why not let it go...... Although Wuruan Pass is important, it is not enough to pose a threat to Youzhou. The country let the general leave, and he can let General Zilong let go of his hands and feet. Whether it is success or failure, it can be regarded as an experience for him, otherwise how can he be on his own? ”

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Unconsciously, he seemed to have made a mistake, that is, he cared too much about Zhao Yun.

Don't fail, you can grow!

Even Liu Chuang himself has experienced countless dangers before he has today's achievements. Thinking about it, let Tian Yu assist Zhao Yun, of course, let Zhao Yun do things steadily. But it is precisely because of this that it is difficult for Zilong to truly lead an army alone and become a general.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"If it weren't for Zilong's family, I would have almost delayed Zilong."

"So I think, since the lord loves General Zilong, why don't you let him guard Wuruan Pass alone?

Besides, with Mr. Bei Zhan in Fan Yang, even if General Zilong has any mistakes, he can make up for them in time, which is better than making mistakes in the future. ”

Zhuge Liang once liked Ma Yan, so he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

But he never considered that Ma Jian had always played the role of a staff officer and had never led the army alone. Later, Zhuge Liang had to slash Ma Jian with tears, which can be regarded as an indelible stain on his life. Liu Chuang thought about it carefully and felt that he had almost made the mistake that Zhuge Liang made back then.

"In this way, I ordered the country to be the duty of the Taishou in the clouds."

Liu Chuang said, and suddenly showed a strange smile, "It's just that the Zi family thinks that who can go out of the town and go to the valley?" ”

Shanggu County is an important place in the north of Youzhou, with eight counties under its rule. It has a population of about 50,000.

The situation in Upper Valley County is very similar to that of Yunzhong, and it is also sparsely populated and the situation is complicated. Kamigu has many Karasuma and naturalized Xianbei, and Hu Feng is extremely heavy.

Therefore, the candidate of Kamiya Taishou must not only have outstanding ability, but also the ability to change organically.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "If you say that the right person is the right person, Yu can't think of it for a while."

The candidate for this Kamitani Taishou is extremely important. I can't help but be proficient in government affairs, understand the art of war, and be able to cooperate with the country.

Therefore, this candidate seems simple, but in fact it is difficult to choose. Yu doesn't know who can take on it. ”

Liu Chuang glanced at Lu Yu with appreciation, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: He is worthy of being one of the seven families with five surnames, the ancestor of the Fanyang Lu family!

Is Lu Yu really recommendable?

I'm afraid not!

It's just that he has already recommended someone, and if he recommends it again, he will be a little unscathed.

After all, Lu Yu didn't have long since he joined Liu Chuang, although Liu Chuang treated him quite seriously. But it doesn't mean that he can dictate some things.

Occasionally, it is okay to recommend one person, but if there are too many, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but praise Lu Yu for being really smart.

He pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Zijia, what do you think of public assistance?" ”

Gongzhu is Guo Yuan, and Liu Chuang is cousin.

He is Zhong Xuan's nephew. Although her mother is not related to Liu Chuang, her aunt is Liu Chuang's eldest mother. Liu Tao's wife back then.

After following Liu Chuang all the way from Xudu to Liaodong, Guo Yuan was not immediately reused, but served as a staff member by Liu Chuang's side...... After Liu Chuang captured Liaodong, Guo Yuan went to Lelang with the synchronization. Calculate the time, and there is nearly a year in the blink of an eye. In the past year, Bu Qi often reported Guo Yuan's situation in letters, saying that Guo Yuan was proficient in military affairs and had the ability to change organically enough to be independent.

Historically, Guo Yuan was a high-ranking cadre, who once led an army alone and almost swept through Hedong.

Liu Chuang scratched his head, and he had a conclusion in his heart.

It's time for Guo Yuan to come out and help himself......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

According to Liu Chuang's thoughts, he originally planned to go to Shanggu to supervise the battle in person, and at the same time welcome Xun Chen's arrival.

However, just after he issued an appointment and Bai Tian Yu was appointed as the Taishou of Yunzhong, he suddenly received news that Sun Quan sent an envoy to come.

This blue eye is indeed different from Sun Ce.

As soon as he took over Jiangdong, he immediately eased relations with all parties, which was indeed somewhat unexpected by Liu Chuang.

However, when he looked at the list of Jiangdong missions sent from Linyu, he couldn't help but be surprised by the two names on the list......

Zhuge Jin?

Lu Xun?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect Sun Quan to actually send these two people.

It's just not clear what the purpose of Sun Quan sending these two people here. Lu Xun, who was a famous general of Eastern Wu in the late Three Kingdoms, can be said to have single-handedly supported the Jiangdong Naval Army. What are their abilities? Go without saying. I believe that as long as the future generations will know this person's name.

The company camp was burned, and Liu Bei died in the White Emperor City.

formed the Jiangdong Naval Division, and even incorporated the Jiangdong Naval Division into the Lu family, almost becoming the Lu family's private soldiers.

Since then, the Lu family has become the top gate valve in Jiangdong, and the Lu family has been able to produce many people, which has continued until the Eastern Jin Dynasty...... Such a character really made Liu Chuang curious. However, no matter how powerful Lu Xun is, he is only seventeen years old now, which is not enough to pose a threat to Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang even planned to detain Lu Xun, believing that Sun Quan would definitely not turn his face against him for the sake of a seventeen-year-old boy.

What really made Liu Chuang frown was Zhuge Jin.

Envoy to Liaodong?

Ease of tension?

Liu Chuangcai didn't believe that this brother-in-law, who was a little sloppy in romance but was actually capable in history, came to Liaodong at this time just to ease the relationship.

However, since you're here, you might as well take a good look......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In October of the fifth year of Jian'an, midwinter came.

The fighting at Guandu gradually subsided, and the fighting that had lasted for more than three months since July not only overwhelmed Cao Cao, but also Yuan Shao.

The two sides revolved around the Guandu battlefield and had their own tricks.

Intercept food, ambush, attack, lure the enemy...... On the battlefield with Guandu as the center and a radius of 100 miles, the two sides can be said to have exhausted their scheming.

The battle has reached this point, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are all a little tired.

There are still former monsters behind the two of them, behind Cao Cao, there is Liu Bei sitting in Runan; And behind Yuan Shao, Liu Chuang has gradually become the climate.

In this case, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao hoped to end the protracted war as much as possible.

Therefore, while the two sides continue to fight, they are also looking for a fighter to win with one blow.

"Why should the lord rush to send troops, in the current situation, Cao Cao is at the end of his strong crossbow, and it is difficult to support it for too long.

Now the lord should continue to stalemate with Cao Cao and slowly advance. The lord can afford it, but Cao Cao can't afford it...... Whoever perseveres to the end will win. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was a little impatient, Xu You couldn't help but come forward to persuade him.

Xu You, a native of Nanyang, was friendly with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was young. However, this person is quite restless, in the first year of Zhongping, he conspired with Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, to depose Emperor Ling and establish the Marquis of Hefei. But in the end, the coup ended in failure, and Xu You has been incognito ever since.

In the first year of Jian'an, he urged Yuan Shao to welcome the return of the Han Emperor, but Yuan Shao did not listen, and the two had a gap from then on.

Since the start of the Guandu War, Xu You has repeatedly persuaded Yuan Shao to slow down the attack on Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao thought he was strong and did not listen to the advice, which also made Xu You deeply disappointed.

Now Yuan Shao intends to make a dangerous move and fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

But Xu You thought that there was no need to fight Cao Cao at this time, as long as the grain was ensured, Cao Cao could be exhausted......

Of course, he knew that Liu Chuang was growing stronger in Youzhou.

But Xu You didn't care, even if Liu Chuang occupied Youzhou, what could he do?

As long as Yuan Shao can defeat Cao Cao in Guandu, the situation in Youzhou will inevitably change again. At this time, he was in a hurry to fight Cao Cao, and he could only fulfill Cao Cao's thoughts. As soon as the army moves, it will inevitably reveal flaws. Cao Cao wanted a quick solution, but Yuan Shao didn't have to worry.

Just as Xu You was talking, a person hurriedly walked in from outside the big tent.

The man took out a letter and handed it to Yuan Shao, and glanced at Xu You, whispering in Yuan Shao's ear.

For some reason, Xu You suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he looked at Yuan Shao, and saw that Yuan Shao's face was pale, and his face was sinking like water!
