I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 301 Liu Yu’s plan

After taking care of Lu Bu, Tian Chou left Shanggu County the next day.

However, he did not go straight to Youbeiping County, but first went to Ji County, Guangyang County where Liu Yu was located.

His purpose on this trip was to tell Liu Yu the news that Lu Bu had been persuaded, which would be regarded as a sign of submission to Liu Yu.

One of Ding Yuan's advantages over Gongsun Zan is that he does not have the same hatred towards Xianbei Wuhuan that Gongsun Zan does. Although he is tempted by military exploits and Ding Yuan himself is relatively reckless, he after all knows the value of Liu Yu's status and does not dare to Really go against Liu Yu.

Of course, he was not particularly afraid of Liu Yu. After all, although He Jin, whom he had relied on, lost his power, Ding was not as sad as he was, and He Miao appeared next.

He Miao recommended Zhang Liao as the general's army commander, which gave Ding Yuan the confidence to make small moves.

Jixian County, governor's office.

The government office, which has gone through many ups and downs in recent years and even encountered the Yellow Turban, is very dilapidated.

Liu Yu lives a frugal life and does not like luxury. Since he took office, the governor's mansion has not been repaired.

But none of the scholars or people passing by felt that the governor's mansion was shabby.

Under Liu Yu's example, the entire atmosphere of Youzhou has changed greatly from the past.

Tian Chou came to the official office, presented a greeting card, and asked to meet Liu Yu. The guard at the gate had no intention of asking for money, which made Tian Chou, who came here for the first time, have a lot of affection for Liu Yu, who already had a good reputation.

At least in the county government of Youbeiping, the gatekeepers would never be so honest.

After sending the greetings, Tian Chou returned to the inn in the city and waited for Liu Yu to meet him.

At this time, Liu Yu was writing a letter to his son Liu He.

After he left Beijing to take up his post, Liu He first served as the supervisor of Runan as Zhonglang. After he made some military exploits with Yuan Shao, he was soon moved to the post of magistrate of Ruyang County in Runan County, which can be said to be quite important.

Liu He wrote a letter mainly to care about Liu Yu's health and to ask for advice on some problems encountered in governance.

While answering, Liu Yu also emphasized to Liu He that he must stand upright and upright. At the same time, he hoped that his son would guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and not forget the teachings he received since childhood for the sake of petty gains. Obviously, he understood the focus of the current government.

Liu Yu very much hoped that Liu He would serve a few more terms as county magistrate and accumulate more experience in governance.

After receiving the news that Chief Ding Yuan had come to visit him, Liu Yu did not delay and called his subordinate officials first.

Among them, there were two people who were most valued by Liu Yu, Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou, who were members of his governor's office. The former was born in the Yuyang Erqianshi clan and was the highest ranking official in the county. The latter had no family background and was valued by Liu Yu for his virtue and talent. Although their identities are different, the subordinate officials get along well with each other in Liu Yu's official office.

After Liu Yu discussed with a few people for a while, he decided that Xian Yufu would go to the inn to see Tian Chou first, and then Liu Yu would meet him in person tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Liu Yu, who met Tian Chou for the first time, was very enthusiastic about Tian Chou: "I have heard of Zitai's name earlier, but when I wanted to send an envoy to conquer, I learned that Zitai had been conquered by Ding Jianyang."

Tian Chou knew this from Xian Yufu yesterday, and now he heard Liu Yu say it with his own ears. Tian Chou, who had always heard about Liu Yu's reputation, did not doubt whether it was true or not, and his favorable impression of Liu Yu increased.

He bowed and said, "Thank you for your wrong love, Mr. Liu."

Tian Chou originally thought that Liu Yu's attitude would always be so good, but when it came to business, Liu Yu's attitude changed quickly.

Liu Yu put on an air of asking for guilt: "Xianbei Master Ke Bineng has promised not to join the banditry again. Since Zitai is from Shanggu, he must know about Shanggu Captain Lu Bu's disobedience. How can he explain it?" Tian Chou was already prepared. , replied: "Those barbarians do not know etiquette and justice. If they are not deterred by swords and weapons, they may become arrogant and rebel again. Moreover, the people in the border areas have been miserable and humble for a long time, which is unforgettable."

Liu Yu said: "You think I can't see Lu Bu's behavior? If I hadn't cared about the suffering of the people in the past, I would have written a letter of impeachment!"

Tian Chou didn't know that Liu Yu had seen clearly the methods of his own prince, so he had to hand over his hand again and said: "General's protective feelings, Chou will definitely let the prince know after he returns."

Qi Zhou, who was in charge, said: "In recent years, due to the dedication of the soldiers and the benefits of salt and iron, the people have been able to live in peace, and Youzhou has accumulated some wealth. It is not that the general has not considered gathering troops and horses to attack Xianbei, but there is a vast territory beyond the wall. It is difficult to decide in one battle. If we continue to attack each other, the Xianbei people will certainly be injured, but aren't the casualties of our army also among the people? If we can make the border counties stable, stability will always be better than war, and the people will vent their anger. After being angry with the Xianbei people, they will finally live in peace and contentment."

After listening to what Qi Zhou said, even Tian Chou, who had always resented Xianbei and Wuhuan for plundering the people, understood the profound value of Liu Yu's actions.

He did not forget to continue to speak for Ding Yuan: "The Lord was also worried about this, so he sent me to Shanggu County to persuade Captain Lu, and Lieutenant Lu also listened to the Lord's advice..."

With Ding Yuan's initiative to give in, the conflict between Youzhou Zhan and He calmed down again.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two parties once again returned to what it was when they first met.

Not long after, Liu Yu said: "Actually, there is another reason why I allowed Lu Fengxian to attack the subordinates of Kebi Neng. In the past, Kebi Neng sent envoys to show his goodwill, and I used money to buy back the Han people who were kidnapped in previous years. "

"Although most of the people were able to return, some scholars and craftsmen were still left outside the wall and could not return home."

Tian Chou immediately reacted: "The general wants to use Lieutenant Lu to pressure him to return all the Han people?"

"In this case, if Chou persuades Lieutenant Lu without authorization, it will ruin the general's important affairs! Why don't I go to Shanggu again..."

Seeing this, Liu Yu waved his hands with a smile and said: "Zitai, don't be anxious. Calculate the time. Kirby's new envoy has already set off. If he still can't get what he wants this time, it's not too late to do it again."

After Tian Chou understood, the two parties had a frank conversation with each other.

When leaving, Tian Chou reminded: "According to the opinion of the subordinates, Kirby can bend and stretch, which is different from ordinary Xianbei adults. He is somewhat similar to Tan Shihuai. The general must be on guard."

Liu Yu didn't think this was Tian Chou's nonsense at a young age, and responded: "Xianbei's various ministries now have different orders. It is the time of division and disintegration. They will never let their family become the dominant one!"

"Since Zitai has such concerns, how about helping me to do this? As for Ding Jianyang, Zitai doesn't have to worry." But even though Liu Yu knew that Tian Chou accepted Ding Yuan's conquest, he still did it out of love for talents. Saved a sentence.

Then, as expected, he was declined by Tian Chou.

It made Liu Yu sigh that he was a step too late at the beginning, and now he couldn't get what he asked for.

Not to mention how Tian Chou got back to Ding Yuan, seven or eight days later, Ke Bineng's younger brother Zhu Luohou, who had been taught by Yan Rou, came to Jixian to visit Liu Yu.

Naturally, Liu Yu had no need to deceive Tian Chou and talked about continuing to redeem the captive Han people.

Ju Luohou:? ? Yan Rou didn’t teach me!
Although Ju Luohou is Ke Bineng's younger brother, it was not enough time for Ke Bineng to ascend to the throne and become Lord Xianbei. In order to show fairness, Ju Luohou did not gain much power in the tribe, and Liu Yu's requirements exceeded his decision-making power. .

So he had to take the Yuyang County east of Shanggu County to return to the outside of the Great Wall. Fortunately, he was not attacked by Lu Bu this time.

At the gathering place of Kebi Neng's camp, Yan Rou, who came to greet him immediately, heard the message sent back by Ju Luohou, and soon he cried bitterly behind everyone's back.

In the fortress, there are still people who care about those who have left their hometown.

However, is Kirby really willing to put him and those craftsmen back?
