Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 408
Liu He welcomed the emperor to Yecheng, and all the officials congratulated him. Under the auspices of Liu Yu, Yang Biao and others, he gradually perfected the imperial program, recruited famous officials from all over the country, and prepared to work hard.

In addition to Zhong Yao, Zhang Ji, Chen Lin, Ma Jun, Wang Can, Dong Zhao and others named by Liu He, various officials also recommended them one after another, and all the heroes from all over the world gathered in Jizhou.

For the first time, Liu He tasted the sweetness of catering to the emperor, but he also had many troubles. All government orders and official appointments had to be reported to the emperor. It went smoothly.

But so far, all the changes and government orders made by Liu He have been supported by the ministers. After all, under the banner of "Emperor Guangwu", no one dares to object to revitalizing the Han Dynasty with the model of Guangwu Zhongxing.

But in any case, everyone knew that the entire military and political power in Hebei was in the hands of Liu He, and no one dared to interfere with Liu He's marching schedule. Even Liu Yu was only responsible for guiding the emperor in the palace, and took the initiative to stay away from military and political affairs.

Liu He was also happy to have some free time. They were left to deal with the affairs of the court. The main official positions were all replaced by their own people. When the time comes, adjust slowly.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and the performances of all the princes were reported. Regarding the restoration of the Luoyang Ancestral Temple, Liu Biao was the most active. He sent 500 million yuan, 20 shi of grain, and [-] civilian husbands. Luoyang, help restore the capital.

After all, Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, and he claims to be Qingming. Naturally, he cannot lag behind in this matter, but the second largest number is Cao Cao, who transferred more than 1000 vehicles of money and food from Qingzhou, and [-] civilian husbands. Handed over to Guan Yu, please ask him On behalf of transshipment Luoyang.

This made Liu He a little surprised. Cao Cao actively supported the construction of Luoyang. Was it because he was old and cunning and didn't want to be targeted by Liu He, or did he still have the Han family in his heart, and his wish at this time was to be a general who conquered the West?
Cao Cao was a man of great depth and was very cunning and calculating. Liu He discussed with Xun You and Guo Jia, but neither of them could figure out what Cao Cao was thinking. He was truly a traitor!

Liu Bei and Lu Bu also sent envoys to congratulate him, but because they had just taken office and there was a shortage of food in the territory, they could not provide money or food. They only said that they would summon civilians to Luoyang to help.

In addition, Liu He asked Yang Biao to take the lead and called on the noble families to donate money and food. These families have been developed by relying on the big man for generations. Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and others personally wrote the inscriptions to show their appreciation, and they can be used as a glorious lintel for future generations.

This method really moved the hearts of many people, especially those from middle-class families who were at the top and bottom, and saw that they were entering a declining family. Given this opportunity, they took the initiative to donate money and food, hoping to revitalize the family.

In addition, Sun Jian in Jiangdong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou also sent people to deliver letters. The vehicles are all on the road, because the journey is far away and it will take some time, but they still expressed something. All these movements made Liu He feel a little relieved, at least in the hearts of everyone. The banner of the big man.

Among the princes, Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, was the most disconcerting. Not only did he not send any money and food, but he also sent envoys to question the emperor why his rear general was replaced by someone else, and he asked for a chariot general.

Liu He couldn't help sneering. The two brothers of the Yuan family were so arrogant that even the court could ignore them. The power of the family is too strong to make them so arrogant.

On this day, he and Guo Jia were tasting the newly brewed Maotai-flavored wine. Cheng Yu came to report that Lü Bu had not attacked Jinan for two months, and had no choice but to retreat due to lack of money and food, and was ready to fight Yuan Shu with all his strength.

Liu Heyan said: "Yuan Shu's tomb is dead, and he is ignorant of current affairs. He should be let out of Yuzhou."

Liu He nodded and said: "Yuan Shu hijacked the envoy and seized the Jieyue without permission. This is a crime of treason. Now he is ignoring the imperial decree. He is no different from a traitor. He can immediately draw up an order to attack."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lü Bu is a rebellious person. Although he helped Zhou in his cruelty, after he killed Dong Zhuo, he regarded himself as a hero. The general can worship him as a pioneer general and praise him for abandoning the dark and turning to the light. He has the ability to serve as a hero. Lü Bu will be pleased. Under the command, the general will send troops from Guandu to support and take Yanzhou, this is a false plan to attack Guo!"

Liu He laughed and said: "Feng Xiao's plan is very clever. If it goes well, the Central Plains can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Han Dynasty is expected to be revived."

Everyone nodded one after another. In the Central Plains, Lu Bu in Yanzhou is brave and intrepid, and he is eager to wash away his previous notoriety. If he is given a chance to serve him well, it is not impossible for him to give up Yanzhou as a general. As for Yuan Shu, there is nothing to worry about. Only one Lu Bu is enough for him to drink a pot.

In August of that year, Liu He wrote a letter expressing Lu Bu's meritorious service in killing Dong Zhuo, promoted him to the rank of Chariot General, and stated Yuan Shu's disobedience.

At this time Lu Bu was in Puyang to rectify his troops and horses, preparing to gather his forces to attack Runan and attack Yuan Shu's lair. When he received the imperial edict, he saw that the emperor rehabilitated him and praised him for his first meritorious service. Official, he is finally completely clean now.

Counselor Guo Tu's face was gloomy after hearing this, and he sighed: "This is a plan to drive away tigers and wolves, please think twice!"

Lu Bu laughed and said: "A general should be as fierce as a tiger. Don't say that the emperor has no edict and someone wants to kill Yuan Shu. When an imperial edict happens to arrive, how can someone resist and disobey the edict?"

Zhizhong Xin commented: "Now that Liu He has unified Hebei, and has ordered the princes to raise money and food to restore Luoyang, he must have plans for the Central Plains. If the general raises a large army to attack Runan, and Liu He sends troops to capture Puyang, who can resist it?" "

Lu Bu waved his hands and said with a smile: "You two are worrying too much. Now that I and Liu He are the same generals of the imperial court, I should work together to fight against the ministers. Is there any reason to attack each other? If the emperor is wise, I would rather lead the army to fight In all directions, on the happy battlefield, in this small Yanzhou, lack of money, food, and troops, it is like a tiger falling into Pingyang!"

Guo Tu and Xin Ping looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. After they returned to Yingchuan, they were forcibly recruited by Lu Bu and threatened by their family members.

They advised Yuan Shao, but they were not yet Liu He's opponent. Now Liu He's military might was several times higher than before. How could Lu Bu, a reckless man, be Liu He's opponent?
At this moment, Lu Bu was complacent about being a fierce tiger. This reckless man only wanted to fight, and he was willing to be the pawn of others.

Now that they knew that the general situation was over, they still wanted to protect themselves and try their best to save Yingchuan from the chaos of war, so they were content.

At this time, Lu Bu was even more eager to deal with Yuan Shu. He was the new chariot general, and Yuan Shu himself led the chariot general, and he clearly wanted to steal his position. How could Lu Bu bear it?
