five years of Jian'an, summer and June; A.D. 194.

The imperial army conscripted the Yellow Turban Thief Army, broke it, and the general Lu Bu of the expedition to the west beheaded Nanhua, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and captured countless prisoners, all of whom were filled with the army......

The anti-bandit war, which was boiling and of concern from all sides, came to an end, leaving all those who paid attention to it speechless.

It's not uncommon for the court to win, but it seems that the court is too easy to win?

Whether it was Yuan Shu or Sun Ce, they felt unusually unbalanced when they remembered that they had worked hard to block the Yellow Turban Thief Army in Yuzhou and couldn't get out.

After Yuan Shu saw the strength of the imperial court, he suddenly felt that his ambitions seemed to have to be restrained, especially since the imperial army was stationed on the side, if he was accidentally caught by the Son of Heaven for a reason, he would be able to turn around and kill him immediately.

"I don't want that young man to be able to clean up this chaotic court, and let this Han family have the atmosphere of Zhongxing...... Could it be another Martial Emperor?"

This kind of thinking is not only Yuan Shu alone.

As the imperial army's extermination of the Yellow Turban Thief Army became more and more successful, the Yellow Turban Thief Army in Yuzhou and Xuzhou was wiped out one after another, and those who should be killed were basically killed, those who should be caught, and most of the rest were driven to Jiangdong.

Just like a small part of the bandits hidden between the mountains to do that very promising, bandits.

The pacification work of the two states was also carried out in an orderly manner, and even a large number of food and winter clothes were transported from Yongzhou to help the people of the two places survive this winter.

This batch of materials is mainly used in Yuzhou, after all, although Xuzhou was occupied by the Yellow Turban Bandits, but it has not had time to be scourged, but because of the raging military disaster, this year's agricultural work has been delayed, so this year Xuzhou is estimated to reduce a large amount of production.

Although the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian did a very good job when he governed Xuzhou, and enough grain was stored in the warehouse, even if the Yellow Turban Army did not have time to go to the disaster place when it entered Xuzhou, it was still possible to rob the grain stored in the warehouse.

Therefore, not only is there no stock in Xuzhou now, but this year's harvest will be very poor, and even the private warehouses of several major local families have also been looted - thanks to their quick opportunity and taking the initiative to donate food, the tragic end of the slaughter of the whole clan was avoided.

However, all the Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's family was killed, and at the same time, the Xuzhou Cao family represented by Cao Bao was also slaughtered cleanly, just because Cao Bao was the commander of the army under Tao Qian, which caused a lot of trouble for the Yellow Turban thieves to occupy Xuzhou, and the Yellow Turban Thieves killed them to vent their anger.

By the time these news reached Liu Xuan, Xuzhou had returned to the control of the imperial court, and Cao Cao was busy stabilizing the situation in Xuzhou in Xiapi.

"Yo, Cao Bao and Tao Qian were all wiped out?"

sighed, he didn't have any opinion on Cao Bao, but Tao Qian was a heroic figure who benefited one party, and it was a pity that the end was so miserable.

But for Liu Xuan, that's all, after all, he has no friendship with Tao Qian, and Tao Qian has actually divided one side, and he can still give him the reputation of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who died in the hands of the Yellow Turban thief; If he dies at his own hands, the infamy of a rebellious minister and thief will definitely not be escaped.

Except for these two families, the big families in Xuzhou have not been affected, such as the Chen family and the Mi family, which have retained their vitality and can return to their original state in just one or two years.

Cao Cao also focused on this point in his letter: If His Majesty hopes that Xuzhou will stabilize as soon as possible, then it is best to govern Xuzhou with Chen, the head of the Chen family, because Chen is quite famous in Xuzhou, and the people of Xuzhou respect him very much, so there will be no resistance to some childish acts in political affairs, and at the same time, the people can settle down faster. ...,

But there is one thing in this way, that is, Chen must be committed to governing Xuzhou on the premise of ensuring that his own interests are not harmed, and this is what he is most disgusted by today.

In fact, even Cao Cao himself was extremely disgusted by this situation, even if he himself was from a large family. However, when you look at things from different angles, you will have different thoughts and perceptions.

Especially after knowing His Majesty's thoughts, Cao Cao did not dare to make decisions on his own, and directly let Chen participate in the political affairs of Xuzhou, so he had this letter.

Liu Xuan pinched the letter and muttered for a while, it stands to reason that Tao Qian has just died, and the Xuzhou clan has been traumatized to a certain extent, this is a great opportunity, if Liu Xuan misses it, then it will be even more troublesome to deal with these problems in the future.

"Isn't this what I let these princes and thieves do for this reason?"

With a plan in mind, a decision was immediately made -- the political affairs of Xuzhou must not be handed over to these big clans, and even the influence of these families in the local area should be weakened as much as possible.

As for being boycotted?

"Hmph, if there are any people who don't open their eyes, I don't mind letting them understand what iron-fisted rule is!"

It's just that Xuzhou is too far away from the capital, and it is impossible for Liu Xuan to sit in charge in person, so he needs someone who can be trusted and has strong enough means to go.

thought about it and went back and forth, and even called Wang Yun and Liu Ye to the important ministers who were waiting for him to come together to discuss together.

In fact, Wang Yun himself is inclined to let Chen Chushi directly, but he is now gradually understanding some of the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, and with several wars in a row, the prestige of the Son of Heaven has gradually formed, even Wang Yun did not dare to fight against Liu Xuan at this time, so he simply sat there and kept silent.

"I think it's appropriate for Tianshui to be too full of pets!"

Liu Ye thought about it and finally put forward his own suggestion.

He didn't say this nonsense, Man Chong did a good job in Tianshui, and Man Chong himself is not a weak person, his methods are quite tough, and he knows the soldiers, and if he sits in Xuzhou, it is enough to make Liu Xuan feel at ease.

"In this case, when I return to Chang'an, I will issue an edict to transfer the full favor to Pi Taishou!"

A few people nodded, thinking that this arrangement was the most appropriate.

As for Tianshui raising his hand to move down Pi Taishou, it seems to be a flat move, but in fact, Tianshui is a relatively remote place, although the strategic position is very important, but the important strategic position also restricts the play of civil officials, because many things need to give way to military services.

At the same time, at the administrative level, Tianshui County is just an ordinary county, and it cannot be compared with Xiapi, because Xiapi is the seat of governance in Xuzhou, and it is the provincial capital in later generations.

In the case that Liu Xuan was in power and determined that he would not set up a state priest in the area under his control, the Taishou of the Yuan Zhisu was the highest-ranking official, slightly higher than the other Taishou.

Speaking of full pets, Liu Xuan casually asked about the situation in the counties in the northwest, in fact, the main thing was to ask how those people are doing now?

Liu Xuan may not usually care about these things, but Wang Yun sees them clearly, he also attaches great importance to these rising stars, and the Son of Heaven immediately told them about their situation.

All in all, well done!

"Since it's good, now that the court is employing people again, you have to promote them, go back and list the achievements of these people, and then appoint them as appropriate!"

This sentence can be regarded as setting the future prospects of those people, although Wang Yun doesn't know why His Majesty values those rising stars so much, but those people do have real materials, and he is naturally happy that the court can have more heroes to add in, because it means that the prestige of the court is gradually recovering, so his status as a Situ will be higher and higher.

Liu Xuan thought about it in his heart, not only did the imperial court not lose any soldiers and generals in this battle, but also recovered several states, and at the same time recruited a large number of talents. ...,

Among them are military generals such as Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei, as well as Chen father and son, Mi family brothers, Sun Qian, etc., who can be used in government affairs.

The addition of a large number of talents also makes Liu Xuan have more and more resources available in his hands, and as this group of people gradually returns to their hearts, Liu Xuan will no longer have to worry about talent problems in the future. Even if he kills the remaining princes and the military generals under his account, he is not afraid that no one will help him govern this world.

"Those trivial things, deal with them as appropriate!"

Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou counties and counties of the Taishou, as well as the county order, the county magistrate need to be reappointed and dispatched, maybe the county magistrate does not need to be so anxious to remove, but the county magistrate and the Taishou must be given priority to be replaced by trustworthy people.

Especially in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, if the local forces have not been greatly impacted, if they can't be controlled by their own people as soon as possible, then it will take a lot of effort to control it in the future, and Liu Xuan has important things to solve in the future, and he has no time to waste time on these side matters.

After focusing on a few things, Liu Xuan focused his attention on other things.

For example・・・・・・ after recovering Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, the territory controlled by the imperial court or itself has increased so much, has his dragon qi changed again?

Closing his eyes, there was still a golden dragon circling in his body, swallowing smoke clouds, and the dragon qi around the golden dragon had increased, although it was still very thin, but it was still a lot better than when it was only a little bit old.

In addition, Liu Xuan noticed that there was indeed a little change when he looked inside, that is, under the golden dragon hovering, a map appeared - that was a map representing the area he actually controlled, and the color of each region was different, and this color difference intuitively showed the amount of dragon qi in these areas.

For example, the piece that represents Yongzhou is now a piece of gold, representing the strongest dragon qi in this area, and Liangzhou has gradually had a faint gold, and the whole is still biased towards yellow.

Sizhou is a little yellowish, and as for Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which have just arrived, they are basically three tabula rasa.

"It seems that if you want to bring the people of Sanzhou to their hearts and govern these three places well at the same time, it is not something that can be solved in a moment!"

When he realized that these three places would not be of any help to him for a while, Liu Xuan was also looking forward to what level of his cultivation would be after these places turned golden
