On the way back, Dian Wei was as happy as a child who had not grown up. It was the first time that the Imperial Guard and the Tiger Guard had been expanded to such a large extent at once.

"Dian Wei, there are too many new recruits entering at once, so you must pay close attention to training and integrate as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, my lord, whoever dares to be lazy, I will beat him with a halberd!" Dian Wei said, flashing the halberds in his hands.

Liu Qing said to Zhao Yan again: "Bo Chong, Fengxiao and I want to return to Wei County. How about you stay in Huai County, learn county governance from Uncle Ju, and become a county official first?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he was immediately delighted and asked quickly: "My lord, are you willing to take me in?"

Liu Qing was immediately amused and spread his hands: "When did I say I don't want you anymore?"

Zhao Yan stared at Guo Jia "viciously" with his eyes.

Obviously, it was Guo Jia who caused trouble and made a joke with him.

Zhao Yan suddenly ran a few steps ahead, turned back and saluted Liu Qing.

"Zhao Yan pays homage to the lord!"

"Get up!" Liu Qing said and stepped forward to help Zhao Yan up. Looking face to face, Liu Qing found that although Zhao Yan was three years younger than Guo Jia, he seemed to be more anxious than Guo Jia. No, more mature.

"What do you think about staying in Huai County?" Liu Qing asked again, because his characteristics are very suitable for the affairs of Hanoi County. Whether it is the transportation of grain and grass, or severe punishments and laws, he has a place to rectify the county administration.

"But according to the Lord's orders!"

"Then it's settled!" Liu Qing made the final decision.

In the next few days, Jushou listened to the introduction of Ji Chu's situation by the former officials of Hanoi County. Liu Qing and Guo Jia also attended the meeting, but did not intervene in the discussion.

The situation in Hanoi County is very similar to that of Jizhou. First of all, it is also the place where the Yellow Turbans first appeared. The Yellow Turban Canal Commander Ma Yuanyi was arrested in Shanyang County. However, before the Yellow Turbans ended, the Black Mountain Army came again. The cavalry general He Miao was arrested in Hanoi.

We defeated the Montenegrin Army once, but it is a pity that if the food problem is not solved, the Montenegrin Army will never be eliminated. Wherever there are people who do not have enough to eat, there will be the Montenegrin Army.

Before the Luoyang Incident, various forces gathered strength in Luoyang, and Hanoi County was left empty for a time, which caused the Black Mountain Army to expand rapidly and plunder the surrounding counties. Zhang Niujiao led tens of thousands of Black Mountain Army to invade Jizhou, which was also during that period.

Hanoi County is in chaos, not because of the officials, but because there are no soldiers and no food, and governance is really impossible. During the few months Zhu Jun was the prefect of Hanoi, although he sent troops to pursue the Black Mountain Army, he still could not solve the problem of food.

problem.

Facing the new governor of Ju, the county officials once again talked non-stop and raised the issue of food.

After Jushou listened, he said to Liu Qing: "All problems in Hanoi County are ultimately about food. Your Majesty, the matter of food and grass..."

Jushou addressed King Bohai as "Great King" instead of "Lord", telling everyone present that Liu Qing's help to Hanoi was benevolent and righteous!

"The troubles of the Black Mountain Army can be left to me! I want to contribute 30% of the food and grass needed, and the other 70% will come from Hanoi County. As a member of Hanoi County, the local wealthy families and powerful people must donate food. Everyone

Let's work together to overcome the difficulties, and only when we plant food next year can we collect it, whether it's taxes or rent!" Liu Qing's loud voice echoed through the hall.

The county officials all looked at King Bohai, curious and surprised. They had heard about King Bohai's suppression of the Black Mountain Army, but King Bohai wanted to provide food and grass to help Hanoi County. This thing... sounds too incredible.

.

These are the people of this county!

"You may think that this matter is a bit difficult to deal with. Nobles and powerful people are not easy to deal with, but I have spoken beforehand. If there is a family in Hanoi County who does not agree with this method and is unwilling to provide food, I will not be able to eat enough.

If the poor people move to the Bohai Kingdom, let them hold their own wasteland and eat the dirt!"

Liu Qing's words made the county officials fall silent. They were thinking about whether the 70% would still be counted on their heads. However, they did not dare to think about the food provided by the nobles and powerful people.

However, the attitude of the King of Bohai moved them deeply. Not only did he send troops and food to help Hanoi deal with the Black Mountain Army, but he also provided 30% of the food for Hanoi. This is such a generous spirit. In addition to the King of Bohai, there are other emperors in the Han Dynasty who have such uncles.

?

Zhang Yu, the county magistrate, said: "The people of Hanoi will be impressed by King Bohai's generosity and benevolence. We only need to leave one mouthful to eat, and this salary will be used as disaster relief food!"

"Zhang Juncheng is interested. Hanoi County has county officials like you, so why worry about the peace and prosperity of the county and the people!" Liu Qing did not refuse. Of course, if they really did this, Liu Qing would not treat them badly. He had to say

, Han people attach great importance to both name and righteousness. Apart from those who came to power by selling their official positions, there are still many good officials!

As for the gentry's share, it was left to Jushou to negotiate. Liu Qing was least worried about this matter. The gentry were all visionary people who knew how to make the best decisions. Especially in such troubled times, they also needed a protective umbrella.

Nowadays, Liu Qing wants a title, a military force, a name for benevolence and justice, and a name for divine power. The noble families in Hanoi should be vying to have him, not to mention mere food and grass. Those who have daughters are even begging to marry them off.

To King Bohai.

Xun's marriage to Xun Cai is a precedent.

Thinking of this, Liu Qing suddenly missed his three wives.

"With the help of King Bohai, I have full confidence in the governance of Hanoi County!" Jushou laughed loudly, which attracted the county officials to follow suit, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Guo Jia smiled mysteriously. It didn't matter whether this meeting was true or false. What was important was that the county officials took it seriously. If Hanoi County needed to take a stand in the future, he would naturally stand beside Liu Qing.

Everything in Hanoi was gradually implemented, and the next step was for Ju Shou and the county officials to do it one by one, and Liu Qing was also ready to return to Wei County.

…

Rudu, also known as Ruyang in the past, Yuan Shao returned to Chenliu to rest for a day, and then directly returned to Yuan's house in Ruyang.

Yuan Shao brought back a large number of slips and documents from Chenliu, most of which were backlogged letters. After returning to Yuan's residence, Yuan Shao did not go to see Yuan Wei or even the emperor. Instead, he locked himself in his home and

Immerse yourself in the vast amount of letters and writings.

For several days, Yuan Shao read these things without sleep or food. Not only was he not too tired, he even felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Looking at the burned out candles and the messy study room, Yuan Shao remembered that when he met King Bohai that day, the scene in King Bohai's tent was almost the same.

After reading all these documents, he had a new understanding of the Battle of Hanoi, and even the entire war in Xingyang in the east, Liangxian in the south, and Heyang in the north.

This war was full of haste and chaos. Now that I reflect on it carefully, I am afraid that I have been blinded by the grandeur of the Eighteenth Army Town.

Looking at the mess in the study, Yuan Shao murmured to himself: "Is it because King Bohai is so brave and good at fighting that he masters the details of every battlefield and is able to win by surprise?"

Yuan Shao was deep in thought when he suddenly called from outside the door: "My lord, Duke Yuan is here."

"Why is uncle here?" Yuan Shao frowned and thought about it. He sat back behind the case and buried himself among piles of letters.

"Please speak to Mr. Yuan's study quickly." Yuan Shao shouted.

Yuan Wei had always been curious. When he learned that Yuan Shao had returned to Ruyang, he thought he was troubled by something. In order to come to see him in time, he found that Yuan Shao didn't seem to have the intention to see him at all.

Is this bastard's wings stiff? Yuan Wei thought and came to see for himself.

Entering Yuan Shao's study, he was first greeted by the pungent smell of candle smoke. Yuan Wei frowned and was surprised to find Yuan Shao reading at his desk.

"Ben Chu?" Yuan Wei shouted.

Yuan Shao responded: "Uncle, I came here, but I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me!"

With that said, Yuan Shao stood up and saluted.

Yuan Wei knew that Yuan Shao was quite embarrassed. Seeing how he was abusing himself, Yuan Wei felt a little distressed and a little angry.

"Original, it's just a setback, why do you get to this point?"

Yuan Shao suddenly raised his head and said: "Uncle, I don't know something. These are military reports during the war. I read them carefully and feel that I have benefited a lot!"

Yuan Wei glanced at the things on the case, then immediately looked away, "As the leader of the alliance, you should focus on the future!"

When he heard about the coalition, Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh at himself, saying that the coalition had suffered a complete defeat.

"The coalition forces were retreating steadily, killing each other, and leaving without fighting. Uncle, why are you doing this?"

Yuan Wei looked like he was a mature strategist. He seemed unmoved by what Yuan Shao said and didn't care at all.

He slowly sat down in front of Yuan Shao's case, facing Yuan Shao with an old face, and said in a sincere and calm tone: "Benchu, what do you think Yuan family relied on to get to this point?"

What does it rely on? It relies on the Four Generations and Three Dukes! It relies on raising one’s arms and the nobles gather together!

Looking at Yuan Shao's slightly self-deprecating expression, Yuan Wei continued: "The people the Yuan family relies on are definitely not people from all walks of life. These young people can easily compete with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army!"

Is this why Yuan Wei never cared about Chen Liuhui Alliance?
To be continued...
