Lu Bu's troops almost crushed Niu Fu's army all the way, and Lu Bu didn't care how Niu Fu ran, anyway, I will chase you wherever you run, and then beat him directly.

In addition, Li Dao and Guo Yan had already met with the special envoy sent by the imperial court, Liu Xuan sent Yang Qi as an envoy to appease Li Dao and Guo Yan's two troops and horses, and promised that the imperial court would only investigate Dong Zhuo's crimes, and would not overly investigate the affairs of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Even in order to appease the two, Liu Xuan also named the two as the general of Pingkou Zhonglang and the general of the thief.

These two official positions, the previous names are just Liu Xuan's casual mention, and they can't be done at all, but after all, with the title of Zhonglang General, it can be regarded as a military position with real power that is not low, and at the same time, he ordered that the two of them should be stationed in Tianshui and Anding counties respectively, which can be regarded as determining the territory for the two of them - in fact, Liu Xuan can't do it if he doesn't set them for the two of them, these two counties are in the hands of the two, and it is better to do favors easily.

At the same time, the two of them defended against the Northern Xiongnu and the Western Qiang, as for the crusade against Niu Fu, they did not let the two of them participate, but with such a reward, as long as these two people are not idiots, they will not participate in Niu Fu's affairs.

Therefore, when Lu Bu chased Niu Fu behind his ass and beat Haibian, the two of them always stood still, but just put the soldiers and horses at the door of their homes, and said: Protect the state and county, and don't let the thieves and thieves run in.

This gesture shows that he is still wary of the imperial court, and at the same time, he also completely breaks the line with Dong Zhuo's family, because the envoy sent by Niu Fu for help was directly beheaded by the two of them and handed over to Yang Qi, who was in the middle of the service, and asked him to bring it back to Jingshi to show his loyalty.

Things have come to such a point, Niu Fu has no way to escape, and finally led three or five guards to sneak out of the military camp at night, wanting to enter Hanzhong along the inaccessible mountain road and woods, and then go to Yizhou to avoid disaster - the old man Dong Zhuo is no better than him, at this time, the past is also sent to death, Niu Fu is not great enough to live and die with his own father-in-law.

It's just that he didn't expect that before he ran far, he was beheaded by his personal guards, and then after seizing his finances, he ran to Lu Bu to ask for credit with Niu Fu's head - this goods didn't get any benefits, and I don't know if it was because of his own experience, Lu Bu was extremely taboo about such behavior, and directly ordered this person to be cut down.

Therefore, in this period of war, only Lu Bu was the only one who benefited in the end, not only to remove the nail of Niu Fu, but also to clean up the land west of Chang'an.

And because Niu Fu fled without a fight in the end, Lu Bu directly received the soldiers and horses left by Niu Fu.

There are a lot of people, there are still 6,000 soldiers left, and there are many strong people, and there are many blacksmiths mixed in the army, this battle can be described as a bumper harvest, Lu Bu happily wrote all these on the battle report, and then sent people to send them back to Beijing to report the victory.

Later, according to Liu Xuan's instructions in advance, he led troops to occupy the area from Xianyang to Shenling, and as for many counties and counties further west, Lu Bu was limited by too few soldiers and horses in his hands, so he could only watch Li Dao and Guo Yan send troops and horses to occupy them.

"Sooner or later, these places will be knocked down. ”

Collecting troops and returning to Beijing, Lu Bu can be described as a complete victory in this battle, although the princes of the court and the central government are quite jealous of Lu Bu, but with such a fierce general in charge, he can indeed feel much more at ease, at least there is someone to rely on in the war.

What surprised them was Cao Cao, the new general of Pingxi did not directly collect troops after pacifying the thieves, but continued to advance northward, helping the imperial court to collect Feng Yi and other places, adjacent to Beidi County, if you fight a little further north, you can directly reassign the places south of the Great Wall to the direct rule of the imperial court.

Subsequently, Cao Cao organized the surplus people to reclaim the land on the spot, wantonly cultivated the fields, and asked Liu Xuan to send officials to take over, while he continued to train troops outside and guard against foreign races in the north.

Cao Cao's recital was read directly in the court, and Liu Xuan did not make a decision directly this time, but asked the princes of the court: "Do you have any suggestions for this?"

At this time, the general situation of the court and the central government was already under their control, and at the same time, the six ministries also began to be formed according to the plan, and the old ministers saw that the emperor had made up their minds, and knew that they could not disobey the emperor's will in this matter, and many people in the court did not resist the six-part system.

At present, the emperor's inquiry is also an opportunity to express himself, and the princes of the court and the central government immediately put forward their own suggestions.

Among them, what Liu Xuan cared about was a sentence: "Cao Pingxi is now stabilizing Feng Yi's situation, if he doesn't take the opportunity to stabilize it, he may be taken advantage of by thieves." In addition, it is adjacent to Gyeonggi, and it is necessary to send a capable official to it, and the minister recommends one person to take on this position. ”

He knew that these people must take the opportunity to install their own cronies, then Feng Yi is in the north of Chang'an, it is really not a remote place, as far as the current situation of the imperial court is concerned, Feng Yi is the only county directly controlled by the imperial court, so the officials sent out are the real local governors who hold real power, if they can guard the county here, they can be regarded as doing things under the emperor's nose, as long as they have a little achievement, they will be valued by the emperor in the future.

And his own recommendation is meritorious, and he wants to be able to stabilize his position in the court in the future, many people have such calculations, and all kinds of names in the court keep popping up in an instant, Liu Xuan's head hurts when he listens, but unfortunately he has never heard any more familiar names.

Until the end, it was Xun You who recommended someone to make Liu Xuan a little interested.

"Weichen recommended a person, this person's surname is Guo Mingjiazi Fengxiao, Yingchuan Yangzhai people, known as a talented person since childhood, can be used for this position. ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes of the court and the central government looked at each other, and a few of them from Yingchuan remembered such a person, but the faces of these people were not very good-looking, which showed that their impression of this Guo Jia was not very good.

In fact, it is almost the same, although Guo Jia is also a famous person in Yingchuan, not all of his names are good.

First of all, some of this person's temperament is not acceptable to today's scholars, and this person is quite arrogant, and the people he doesn't look down on are not so friendly, so for many people, Guo Jia hates this person very much.

I don't want Xun You to recommend this person today, they don't remember what friendship Guo Jia and Xun You have?

In fact, Guo Jia and Xun Yu do not have a deep friendship, but they are old acquaintances with Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's talent is not inferior to Guo Jia, Guo Jia is also quite friendly to this talented person, and the two have become close friends.

Liu Xuan is now the emperor, and after pulling Xun Yu to his side, Xun Yu still had an attitude of observation and observation at first, and was not really ready to assist wholeheartedly, but as the days went by, he slowly figured out some of Liu Xuan's abilities and ambitions, and felt that the Han Dynasty was probably not exhausted, and it was not impossible for Zhongxing.

In this way, he had to start thinking about how to increase Liu Xuan's strength as much as possible while weakening the strength of potential opponents.

Guo Jia's talent, Xun Yu knows best, if it is just placed outside and reused, it may not be the blessing of the court, so it is serious to pull him to his side as soon as possible.

With this kind of thought, Xun Yu told Xun You about it, and happened to correspond with Guo Jia a few days ago, knowing that Guo Jia was invited by Tian Feng to vote for Yuan Shao's account, but it was only a few days before he saw that Yuan Shao was not a successful person, so he resigned and returned to his hometown.

Xun Yu was still quite puzzled at that time, because Xun Yu was a close minister of the emperor, and it was more convenient than him to recommend someone?

The uncle and nephew didn't know that Liu Xuan had long been thinking about the strategists who originally served under Cao Cao's account, and he remembered that in the romance, it was the two uncles and nephews who voted for Cao Cao, and introduced outstanding strategists to Cao Cao's account one after another, which made Cao Cao's account fully armed, and his power gradually rose, becoming one of the most powerful princes in the north.

It's just that after so many days, neither of them mentioned this matter, Liu Xuan knew that this was because the uncle and nephew hadn't really recognized themselves, and they could only continue to work hard now.

I didn't want to mention Guo Jia when I was discussing today, this is a great talent, and I can't miss it.

It's just that it's not appropriate to ask Guo Jia to be Feng Yi's Taishou, Guo Jia's talent focuses on strategy and strategy, that is to say, it is best to stay by his side to give advice, but it doesn't show his power when he puts it outside, so the position of Taishou still has to let others go to work.

What's more, no matter how talented Guo Jia is, after all, he is only a young man of only twenty-one years old, even if the emperor wants to use it, it is impossible to directly hand over a place to him.

"Yang Qi was a meritorious envoy before, and he was too guarded by Feng Yi. Guo Fengxiao is known for his talents, and he has been conquering the dynasty since then. ”

After thinking about it, in the end, Yang Qi was the guard, anyway, Feng Yi's place is mainly about people's livelihood and armaments at present, and the affairs of armaments have Cao Cao, so Yang Qi doesn't bother, as long as he stabilizes the people's livelihood, it will be nothing.

Guo Jia's advanced dynasty is more suitable to be a servant, and in the future, to see whether his strategy is more military or more governmental, then consider whether to let him serve in the staff department of the military department or somewhere else.

If both sides are involved, you can only stay by your side and play the role of an assistant. Of course, the assistant is not without a high-level position to reach the pinnacle, the Taifu is actually a high-level assistant, and his authority is to answer the emperor's inquiries at any time and help the emperor give advice - unlike the crown prince, the prince is the prince's teacher.

These things were just made in an instant, and he was now looking forward to what kind of talents this Xun uncle and nephew could recommend to him?

But before that, he thought of one thing, so he left Wang Yun behind after the early dynasty, and without waiting for Wang Yun to ask, he directly said: "I heard that there is a singer in the Qing Mansion, whose name is Diao Chan, who has practiced singing and dancing since childhood, and will send someone to the palace later to relieve the boredom with me and Cai Guiren." ”

When Wang Yun heard this, his face was stunned for a while, but even though the boss was reluctant, he finally responded with a bitter face: "Obey the order." ”
