In response to Liu Bei's inquiry, Xiahoudun shook his head.

"It is an honor to follow the prince, but I think that to be able to serve the prince, I don't necessarily need to fight on the battlefield, and I don't have as many as the rest of my colleagues, but I feel that I can do a lot of things in my office."

When Liu Bei heard this, he patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder with a smile.

"What's the matter, do you have a good experience?"

Xiahoudun smiled embarrassedly.

"Maybe he has never been a person who likes to fight, he was still a little angry when he was young, and the older he gets, the more he suffers, and he feels that it is best to be safe and stable, and to be able to govern in peace and make a place happy and happy, perhaps more meaningful than fighting."

Liu Bei was silent for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"Since Yuan Rang has such an idea, I respect your decision, you will continue to be a stable taishou, if you do well in the future, it is not impossible to assassinate the history of a state."

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Xiahoudun saluted Liu Bei and expressed his gratitude.

To be honest, for so long, Liu Bei has also discovered that the generals under his command are basically the kind of aggressive, unyielding, and like to wave their fists if they don't like to be reasonable.

Although he has gone through his cultural iron fist, the nature of the country is easy to change, everyone can still use their hands without moving their mouths, and if they can kill people, they will not set fire, each of them is a parasitic energy, and it is difficult to adjust.

In this large group of prison talents, there are few who can be reasonable, and Xiahoudun must be counted as one.

Listening to him himself say that he killed people on the street for his teacher when he was fourteen years old, although he is not a good person, but he is also a person who respects his teacher.

There is no aggressive fire, and it is still a little difficult to be a good general, but after following him, Xiahoudun has never done anything to scramble, and after becoming a taishou, he is even more honest and diligent, and he must bow down to everything, and he is very attentive to handling official business.

Liu Bei's government requirements, Xiahoudun is not necessarily the fastest, but it must be the highest quality, and in the end, when the state government accepts the results of local government affairs, he has experience.

Yuan Rang production, must be a high-quality product.

So now that Xiahoudun made such a choice, it is not strange in Liu Bei's opinion.

It would be good if he could be a guard and a county guard who was as immobile as a mountain, let him do what he was good at, and let the right people be in the right position, which was also a test for the superiors.

Except for Xiahoudun, the generals under Liu Bei were not modest at all, one or two rushed to go to Luoyang with Liu Bei, none of them wanted to stay and lead the troops, they all wanted to follow Liu Bei to Luoyang to earn credit.

In the end, there was no way, in order to show fairness, Liu Bei asked the generals to draw lots to make a decision of Providence and set a two-thirds quota, he could take away up to two-thirds of the generals, and the remaining one-third would have to stay behind.

You can't leave people behind in your hometown.

If you draw it, you can go, and if you can't draw it, don't complain, just blame yourself for your luck.

Then this method is really fair, there is nothing to say about what is drawn, and you can only blame yourself, so everyone agrees with this method.

So, Liu Bei took a group of generals to conduct a lottery ceremony, and the generals who were drawn were overjoyed and happy, while the generals who couldn't be drawn were like mourning and depressed.

In this way, Liu Bei selected a general who would take him to Luoyang to do things.

In terms of staff, Liu Bei named Jia Xu, Xun You, Ruan Yu and other talents in planning and public relations to follow him.

In addition, because some things require people who are absolutely close to and deeply bound to do it, Cao Cao, Zhen Yan, Yan Wen, and Gai Xun were named by Liu Bei to follow them to Luoyang.

Cao Cao and Gai Xun's Taishou positions were retained, and the specific affairs were handed over to capable deputies, and the affairs of Zhen Yan and Yan Wen were also handed over to capable deputies.

Most of the remaining state officials are going to stay and continue to do what they are supposed to do.

These parties have been decided, and the rest is nothing more than the choice of the army.

At present, the regular army established and directly controlled by Liu Bei has a total of 22 battalions, 15 battalions in Liangzhou, and 7 battalions in Yizhou, with 3,000 men in each battalion, and a total strength of 66,000 troops.

Of the twenty-two battalions of the regular army, ten battalions were recruited by Liu Bei from all over the country in the Sanhe area, five battalions were recruited locally in Liangzhou, and seven battalions were recruited in Yizhou.

In terms of combat effectiveness and combat discipline, the Sanhe veterans of the ten battalions were the most combat-effective and combat-disciplined troops under Liu Bei, and they were very strong.

Although the Liangzhou soldiers of the five battalions also have some experience in field combat, their combat experience in group operations is slightly insufficient, but they have been trained for a long time, which is a bit academic, and their tactics are very orthodox.

On the other hand, the combat battalions of the seven Yizhou soldiers have considerable experience in group operations because they are mainly composed of people, but their tactics and tactics are slightly outdated, and they are not very familiar with the mainstream tactics of the Han army, and they still need proper training.

This time back to Luoyang, according to Liu Hong's hope, Liu Bei planned to bring seven or eight battalions.

In Liu Bei's opinion, with He Jin and Yuan Kui's military ability and their ability to form an army, more than 20,000 Liangzhou soldiers were enough to deal with them.

The troops brought with them were mainly Sanhe veterans, supplemented by Liangzhou soldiers, and Yizhou soldiers still needed to be trained, so they would not be considered for the time being.

After consulting with the staff, they also agreed with this idea, so Liu Bei began to select the army.

Liu Bei was preparing the army slowly and leisurely without hurrying, but Liu Hong was really anxious.

The situation in Luoyang has reached a stalemate because He Jin summoned soldiers from all over the world to do things, and the forces of his relatives who had just been restrained began to rise again, but Liu Bei's side would take at least two months to arrive in Luoyang, which made him very anxious and anxious.

Under such circumstances, Liu Hong listened to Jian Shuo's suggestion and had a new move, planning to let He Jin lead troops to Xuzhou to help defeat the unfavorable Xuzhou Yellow Turban, Xuzhou Mu Liu Yan, to defeat the Xuzhou Yellow Turban.

At the end of the fifth year of Zhongping, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had come to an end under the guiding ideology of Liu Yu [focusing on fu and supplemented by suppression], and Qingzhou had entered a period of peace and stability.

Now under the governance of Liu Yu, Qingzhou presents a grand situation of political communication and harmony, Liu Yu himself governs Qingzhou, but also with the leader of the ancient literature school, Zheng Xuan, a famous man in his hometown who lives in seclusion, is very close in private.

In Yuzhou, although there is interference from the Yuan family, Huang Wan is a person with means.

With the full support of the modern literary school, the Yuan family mixed sand, and Huang Wan really arrested people and asked them for crimes, and then appointed cronies to positions as state pastors, and stabilized the situation in the face of the overwhelming [cronyism] impeachment of Yuan's former officials.

Relying on iron-fisted means and spending a lot of effort, Huang Wan still wiped out all the Yellow Turban Army in Gepi, and then built a view of Beijing to shock people's hearts and initially solve the Yellow Turban Army Rebellion in Yuzhou in a more terrifying way.

As a result, Yuzhou also began to restore stability, and Yuan's attempt to put small shoes on Huang Wan in Yuzhou was unsuccessful with the full support of the modern literary school.

Zhongping was awarded the title of Sanzhou Mu in five years, and now only Liu Yan has not been able to successfully pacify the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, and the Xuzhou Yellow Turban is still entrenched in the area of Xiapi and Guangling, and continues to fight against Liu Yan.

Although Liu Yan's generals Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Sun Zhao and others fought hard, they still had slight deficiencies in the face of a huge number of Yellow Turbans.

In the face of this situation, Jian Shuo proposed that it was reasonable for He Jin to lead troops to help Liu Yan crusade against the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, and ordinary people couldn't say what was wrong.

It's just that in the current situation, letting He Jin lead the troops out of Luoyang is equivalent to letting He Jin's brain leave his head, He Jin is not so smart, but he is not a pure fool, it is impossible to agree to this request.

So he consulted with Yuan Kui, feeling that the Son of Heaven had bad intentions, he must not leave Luoyang, and as for this order, he could recommend others to act.

For example, Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu can do it, let them go to a fight, earn a little credit and come back, it doesn't hurt.

So He Jin recommended Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and asked the emperor to appoint one of these two people to lead troops to support Xuzhou, presumably to achieve victory soon.
