Under the Han system, the two thousand stone prefect had the responsibility of guarding the territory and could not easily leave the territory without authorization.
In other words, the five prefects who appeared in front of Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, except Cui Min, the prefect of Zhuojun who belonged to Fan Yang, the other four are now people who have committed serious crimes. As long as Liu Yu wants to, the theory
He can immediately exercise his state pastoral responsibilities, report to Luoyang for impeachment, and temporarily deal with these four people.
However, this is only in theory.
In fact, Liu Bo'an, who had served as the governor of Youzhou and had some knowledge of Youzhou, chose to turn a deaf ear to the guilt of these people when faced with five eunuchs, and even took the initiative to welcome them. Everyone in Fan Yang
There was a big banquet in the city, which was a feast for everyone.
Then, the five governors honestly escorted General Wei's staff to Lulong... Now, even Cui Min, the governor of Zhuo County, broke the law.
"General Wei is so aggressive!" After hearing that the five eunuchs left without saying goodbye, Liu Hedang, the son of Liu Yu, couldn't help but became a little angry in the Dutingguan Posthouse where Youzhou Mu was staying. "Although the imperial court asked him to take charge of the military, but
The prefects of each county are directly subordinate to my father, who is the governor of the state. Now he is driving the prefects of the five counties to serve as officials. Isn't he deliberately trying to embarrass you?!"
"It doesn't matter." Liu Yu, who was sitting barefoot on the couch reading, was quite open-minded. "The emperor asked me to come, and he originally wanted to take the opportunity to restrain General Wei and ask him not to interfere with the situation in Luozhong. Naturally, General Wei treated me
I'm quite concerned... But when the Youzhou rebellion is put down, neither I nor he will go back to Luozhong to do things. When we get there, we have to decide whether we are friends or enemies again, so why bother to start a fight with others over some things here?
Will it harm the overall situation of Luoyang in the future if we lose our lives?"
Liu He thought for a while and understood this truth to some extent, but how could the young man's injustice be easily given up?
"Father." Liu He walked around the cave for several times, and he was still eloquent. "Having said that, you can't show weakness too much. Otherwise, if General Wei underestimates you today, he will be in Luozhong in the future. Let's help him together."
The general's administration will also be bullied by him. In the final analysis, although the people in the border counties are tyrannical and brave, which makes people speechless, they still act brutally and cunningly..."
"My son, did you just find out today that General Wei was born in Bian County? I thought everyone in the world knew it?" Liu Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then put down the book in his hand. It was an Amway edition.
The newly printed book, the so-called "Monthly Order of the Four People" written by Cui Shi, a famous minister of the Cui family in Anping, is a masterpiece of the manorial economy of the Han Dynasty.
Liu He was speechless for a moment.
"My son." Liu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, stopped laughing when he saw this. Instead, he was a little emotional. "Let me ask you again, since everyone in the world knows that General Wei is from the border county, why did he do it at such a young age?
General Wei, and everyone thinks that he will definitely go to Luo in the future to assist the general and participate in world affairs?"
After all, Liu He was thirty years old, so after sighing, he could tell the truth: "Because General Wei used his reputation as a border commander to achieve this goal! I think he went there before he was crowned.
We visited at home, but because he was from a neighboring county, his mother kept him away... In other words, everyone in the world has known for a long time that he is cunning and domineering, but he is really too powerful. Even so, he can still achieve great things every time, so he often
Rely on him. Of course, sometimes the situation dictates that the world is becoming more and more chaotic. After all, such a famous general is always the first choice to stabilize the world."
"Yes." Liu Yu also became more and more emotional. "General Wei's achievements today are the result of hard work and tyranny. It would be ridiculous to say whether his style is tyrannical or not. Not to mention, we are now
Youzhou is surrounded by people from border counties, and what we are facing is a war situation like a foreign rebellion. If you try to use your strength to fight with others, you are just asking for humiliation."
"That's what father said." Liu He admitted his mistake honestly. "I was mistaken. But, how is father prepared to deal with such a situation? Should he just be a puppet?"
"Of course I don't want to be a puppet." Liu Yu then became serious. "But my son, just as Gongsun Wenqi has been able to continue his tyrannical style despite the obstacles of his background in the border county, you and I have to endure
The title of Confucian official of the clan has come to this stage, but we have to follow our rules... It's not that we can't fight, but we must have the right opportunity, we must have the righteousness that makes people speechless, and we must have something that is in line with you and me.
Origin, image and posture. Otherwise, we would rather be puppets!"
Liu He finally realized: "What you are saying is that our foundation is completely different from that of General Wei. General Wei relies on his mighty virtue to win people's hearts and achieve success. But you, father, and even our Liu family in Donghai rely on our opposition to each other."
Never lose loyalty to those above, never lose kindness to those below... If you lose your tolerant attitude because of a moment of anger, that is the most fatal thing."
"If you can say such a thing, I can rest assured that you can serve as an official alone." Liu Yu couldn't help twisting his beard and sighed with relief. "The emperor is not in good health, and ministers should maintain a mournful posture, but he is so evil.
Sorry, it would be ridiculous to force me to keep his integrity and plan things for him... When the rebellion in Youzhou is settled and Luozhong settles down, we will return to the center. As a minister of the clan, I will make concessions to the generals and generals like Wei.
, they will definitely reciprocate the favor, and by then you only need to be a noble official, and then you can easily earn two thousand dan for a large county."
Liu He immediately bowed his head.
In this way, the father and son had a rare heart-to-heart talk and stopped talking. The next day, they even gathered the local officials who came to greet them. As if nothing had happened, they continued all the way to the place where the governor of Youzhou used to be.
He left for Ji County in Guangyang. He did not disturb any place along the way, nor did he interfere with the unified arrangements of the General Wei and the shogunate.
As expected, Liu Yu's behavior made many state officials secretly laugh at him... Before, they thought that Hezhou Mu was much better than the governor, but unexpectedly he turned out to be such an honest wooden man, so they couldn't help but despise him.
But in fact, on the other side, many truly sensible people in the state could not help but heave a sigh of relief. After all, western Liaoning was still in chaos, and there was going to be a war ahead. Liu Yu, as an important member of the clan, became the shepherd of Youzhou, so he was not without resistance.
Capital, but when he came up and was so forced by Gongsun Xun, he didn't cause any trouble at all. Instead, he seemed to be looking out for the overall situation.
Later, as Liu Bo'an calmed people's hearts along the way, he not only did not argue or argue, but also had a simple and calm style. Moreover, as a state pastor of a state, he was able to treat the virtuous and corporal, whether they were officials in the state or county who were far lower than himself, or
He was able to maintain courtesy and graceful appearance to the white-bodied nobles and scholars... Therefore, gradually, everyone couldn't help but think of the benevolent style of the other party when he was the governor of Youzhou. As they walked further, the scholars and people of the states and counties along the way began to think of him.
Gradually, I started to respect him.
Even as Liu Bo'an's prestige gradually recovered, some people took the initiative to express their allegiance to him, and some people gradually submitted state affairs...
Of course, it would be meaningless to say this, because Liu Yu himself was a serious Youzhou pastor, and after Liu Yan became the Yizhou pastor, he was even chosen by the emperor to be the official of the clan. So in theory
, the entire Youzhou scholars and people should have been his subjects, and the entire Youzhou military and political power should have been in his hands.
On this day, just as Liu Yu and his son came to Guangyang Shuiqian (later Yongding River) in a light carriage and were preparing to cross the river to station in Jixian County, a man suddenly came up to see him and called himself an old official. He was still waiting here for a long time.
.
"Who is you?" Liu Yu parked the car in the open space beside the pontoon, and then called this person directly to him, as gentle and polite as ever... Given his identity, he opened his mouth with the word "jun" at the beginning. "I
Why don't I remember you?"
"I am Yuyang Xian Yufu, named Bo Zhong!" This man was tall and majestic. Hearing the words, he immediately leaned down and bowed again. "In the past, when Mr. Liu was the Fang Bo of this state, he was a scribe in the state, but at that time the official had not yet been crowned, and
Now I am a father... I have not seen Mr. Liu again for many years, so it is normal for Mr. Liu not to remember me."
Liu Yu immediately laughed, and then got out of the car to help him up: "It is true that the change has been too big, I didn't recognize it for a moment, but when you said the name, I immediately understood... A descendant of Yuyang Xianyu's family, it is difficult to forget this surname.
."
When Xian Yufu heard this, he became even more delighted.
"It's a great thing that an old friend comes to look for me." Liu Yu continued to ask kindly. "I just don't know where Mr. Xianyu is serving his duties now? How can he come to the riverside to greet me?"
"Report to Duke Liu." Xian Yufu replied with a slightly more serious tone. "I used to be an official of Yuyang County, but things in the county have been frequently done by Changping Wei General's Mansion, so it has been considered vacant. Therefore, I heard that Liu Gong was here a few days ago.
, so he simply resigned from his official position and went to look for Liu Gong... And this time he came to the riverside to wait for him, he had some calculations in his mind to offer to Liu Gong. "
Liu Yu nodded slowly, then shook his head slowly: "I can't thank you enough for Mr. Xianyu to come to find me. Therefore, if you want to become an official, I will be able to settle down in the same position as you no matter how powerless I am. But if you want to
You advise me to fight for power with General Wei, but I may not be able to do as you wish."
"Although the subordinates abandoned their posts because General Wei seized the real power in the county, they did not intend to persuade Liu Gong to fight for power."
, He is so mighty and virtuous that Liu Gongcheng cannot compete with him."
Liu Yu twisted his beard and nodded.
"However, Mr. Liu, your Youzhou pastoral policy is upright and tolerant and has won the hearts of the people. If you can avoid the sharp edge of the generals, you may not be unable to achieve something in Youzhou." Xian Yufu actually changed the topic.
"What does this mean?" Liu He, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear it for a moment.
"Return to the Young Master." Xian Yufu said calmly to Liu He. "I mean, there is no need for Liu Gong to cross the river to go to Jixian... General Wei's shogunate is in Changping, north of Jixian. If Liu Gong enters Jixian, it will be no different.
Yu was caught in a trap. There were eleven counties in Youzhou, with nearly a hundred counties and towns. Although General Wei was tyrannical, there were some omissions. For example, Shanggu and Daijun were ordered by General Wei not to recruit soldiers and horses easily.
We will not easily accept the heroes from these two counties to join the army despite the interference."
"General Wei did not intervene in the affairs of Shanggu County and Dai County?" Liu He was slightly startled. "Why is this? On our way here, we heard that Changshan and Zhongshan were classified as temperances, and there were many good families and knights.
and others, heading towards Lulongsai in groups..."
"Reporting to the young master, General Wei is worried that there are Xianbei troubles outside Shanggudai County and Wuhuan worries inside... At this time of chaos, he only hopes that these two counties will be stable." Xian Yufu immediately smiled and said. "Although the two counties are in trouble,
They are both notoriously poor, but they are two counties after all, and there are no generals to guard them. Why doesn't Mr. Liu go to inspect there? And during the war, there may not be achievements there, right?"
"What does this mean?" Liu Hegang was about to ask again, but Liu Yu next to him understood. "And let me ask you, Bo Zhong, do you really have no complaints against General Wei when you sign your resignation this time?"
"Liu Gong Mingjian!"
In some places, I am really too tyrannical... Therefore, I don’t dare to have resentments and complaints, but when it comes to feeling dissatisfied, it is indeed unavoidable."
"For example?" Liu Yu asked seriously, twisting his beard.
"For example, he implemented the so-called well field system in the three counties of Guangyang. In fact, he used the settlements of Youzhou refugees to forcibly bring the land of the three counties under his shogunate, then inventory the acres and release the child servants..." Xian Yufu shook his head for a moment.
For example, the Tian family, the Zhang family, and the Wen family, most of the big surnames in the state bowed their heads and accepted their fate, and then sent many of their children to Baima to obey as pledges. However, there are people like me who accept their fate but do not bow their heads."
Liu Yu nodded slowly.
"Besides that." Xian Yufu continued. "General Wei seems to have his own plans for Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the miscellaneous people outside the Great Wall, and does not want others to interfere. For example, regarding the transportation benefits of Youzhou outside the Great Wall, we originally
I have nothing to say, and I am even sincerely convinced, because the road from Yuyang to Xianbei, the Anli Hao, has given our Yuyang family a lot of profit. But I don’t know why, Aunt Gongsun went to Liaodong and General Wei personally presided over it.
After what happened here, a Chengde city was actually built, stuck on the main traffic road north of Yuyang, completely monopolizing the profits from the north of Youzhou leading to Xianbei... If we say that several wealthy families in Yuyang are not dissatisfied with this matter,
Others are afraid and don’t believe it.”
"So you resigned?" Liu Yu asked with a chuckle.
"No." Xian Yufu couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Mr. Liu doesn't know... It's not that we can't bear this, but isn't that idiot Zhang Ju rebelling? He is also from the Yuyang family, and he accepts his fate and refuses to surrender to 'Jingtian'.
People, who also lost the profits of transportation to Xianbei in the north, are actually uniting with Wuhuan and Xianbei to rebel, and even claim to be the emperor! In such a situation, how can I dare to stay in Yuyang as a county official?!"
"No wonder you want to persuade my family to go to Shanggu, Daijun." Liu He couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "So Xian Yujun also wants to avoid the edge?"
"That's not the case." Xian Yufu quickly became serious again. "Mr. Liu, my son, what I said about making great achievements in Shanggu and Daijun is definitely not false... As long as Mr. Liu nods, I can do it without spending a single soldier.
Immediately cut Kebineng's power north of the border wall in half, and maybe even force him to turn to the Han Dynasty to remove Zhang Ju's head for Liu Gong!"
Liu Yu kept twisting his beard, but just looked at the other person in silence.
Xian Yufu knew that at this point he could no longer hide anything, so he handed over his plans and revealed them all.
It turns out that this is about another family from Youzhou, a family that is dissatisfied with the "Jingtian" and the construction of Chengde city... However, this family is not from Yuyang, but from Guangzhou where General Gongsun Xunwei's mansion is located.
Yang native.
This family's surname is Yan, which can only be described as a common surname, but the eldest son Yan Rou is a very legendary figure.
When Yan Rou was very young, she followed her parents to visit her grandfather who was an official outside the Great Wall. Then she lost her whereabouts outside the border wall of Yuyang. She was picked up by a miscreant outside the Great Wall and wandered among the Wuhuan and Xianbei people outside the Great Wall.
, so that he grew up there.
What's even more interesting is that when he grew up, he became proficient in bows and horses, civilized and military, and was highly supported by tribes outside the Great Wall, and even became the leader of a Xianbei tribe. But the most important thing is that he later found his home and recovered.
He established connections and bloodlines, and used this to contact many powerful families in Guangyang and Yuyang. Therefore, he obtained an exclusive channel of resources outside the Great Wall, which made his power grow stronger.
It happened that at this time, Tan Shihuai died, and then Tan Shihuai's son He Lian also died when he went to Bingzhou to rob. He Lian's son was too young, so he became He Lian's nephew and succeeded...
Anyway, with such a twist, the former Xianbei people's grassland hegemony almost immediately collapsed, and the entire grassland turned into a mess.
This situation was originally a natural hunting ground for a brave and resourceful young man like Yan Rou, so he soon had a crowd of seven or eight thousand and became a force that cannot be underestimated on the grassland.
One more thing must be said here. It’s not that Yan Rou has never thought about having a connection with Gongsun Xun, and it’s not that Gongsun Xun has not noticed this person, but firstly, Gongsun Xun feels that this person is too strong and has the intention to suppress him; secondly, Mo
Hu Zheng seemed to be the more trustworthy person at the time... Moreover, Gongsun Xun's core idea of operating outside the Great Wall was to protect the Western Liaoning Passage. He really didn't have much feeling for Xianbei's hegemony, so he chose to build Chengde City and handed it over to
Guarded by Mohubu.
But if the city is reduced to 10%, it is even more impossible for Yan Rou to cooperate with Gongsun Xun.
"Mr. Liu." Xian Yufu sneered. "It seems that Ke Bineng has tens of thousands of people on the grassland and is arrogant... But in fact, only a third of his current situation is due to his own ability.
The third part is that General Wei was in Youzhou and acted too tyrannically, forcing the Xianbei tribes in the east to find a more powerful leader to be the leader of the alliance. The last three points were because Yan Rou was a Han Chinese and could not
So for this reason, the leader of the alliance has to respect him. If Yan Rou leads the crowd to surrender to Liu Gong, and General Wei sends troops northward at Lulongsai, Kebineng will definitely not be able to appease his subordinates, and they will either come to surrender or surrender.
We can only sit back and watch the big tribes under him disperse."
"Is Yan Rou sincere?" Liu He suddenly asked, probably sensing his father's gaze.
"His parents and family are all in Guangyang. His younger brother Yan Zhi and my younger brother Xian Yuyin are across the floating bridge, waiting for Liu Gong's decision. How can we say he is not sincere?"
Think about it... Yan Rou was so powerful outside the Great Wall, but because she was a Han, she was suppressed by Ke Bi and could not get ahead; and because she had Hu soldiers, she could not be trusted by General Wei; and now, Hu and Han are at war, and he is unwilling to fight with the Han Dynasty.
As an enemy...then what other option can he have besides defecting to Liu Gong?"
"But how should he deal with his situation?" Liu He continued to ask on behalf of his father.
"I have a plan!" Xian Yufu finally saw it. "Ask Liu Gong Xu Yanrou to replace Gong Qichou as the Wuhuan captain, and let him use his own Xianbei troops to suppress the Wuhuan people in Shanggu and Daijun...
...In this way, not only will Kebineng's power collapse immediately, but the crisis of Shanggu, Daijun, Wuhuan and Xianbei outside will also be eliminated at the same time. By then, the people of Youzhou will be grateful to Liu Gong for his deeds; and so will the people of the world.
I praise you for your tolerance far better than General Wei's sword!"
Liu He couldn't help but look back and looked at his father expectantly.
"I have no intention of competing with General Wei for supremacy." Liu Yu thought for a moment, then put his hands behind his hands and spoke sternly. "You have to know that General Wei's situation is not limited to Youzhou..."
"Mr. Liu!" Xian Yufu simply knelt down and kowtowed. "I really don't have the slightest intention of instigating you to become an enemy of General Wei, and it's not just for personal reasons... Please think about it, Mr. Liu. If it comes to pass, go up to the valley and take your place."
Can't the county be protected from the pain of swordsmanship? Can't the people of Youzhou be able to recuperate and recuperate? Besides, considering General Wei, by doing this, aren't we helping him suppress the rebellion? Xianbei is powerless, he
Dealing with Wuhuan and Zhang Ju is also more effective with half the effort! If so, he still thinks Liu Gong is competing with him for supremacy, and he is nothing more than a fake hero and a fake general!"
"Presumptuous!" Liu Yu was furious. "How can General Wei be so good at speaking to you?"
"Here...here!" Xian Yufu kowtowed again.
"Call Yan Zhi here. I have something to ask him." Liu Yu suddenly softened his tone.
"Here...here!" Xian Yufu kowtowed for the third time in response, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
