I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 518 Four Generals
"General, this is what happened. My master is worried that other officials will also be deceived by this, so he specially ordered me to come here."

Liu Yu looked at Tian Chou, who was sent by Ding Yuan to explain the situation, and his love for talent surged again. He explained to Tian Chou carefully, "Don't worry, Zitai. I already have clues about the rebels in secret, and now I have ordered Guan Yuchang, the governor of Yuyang, to take charge."

"Reply to your Lord and tell him to stay in the county and prevent people with ulterior motives from causing chaos."

Just as Tian Chou finished his visit to Liu Yu and returned to the post station in the city, preparing to return to Youbeiping, he suddenly received an invitation from Liu Yu's officials and returned to Liu Yu's mansion again.

Facing Tian Chou's confusion, Liu Yu explained: "I just received an imperial edict that the court wants to transfer Guan Yu to Jizhou to quell the rebellion."

"It's just that Yunchang has not yet finished his task of searching and suppressing the rebellion within the country. Therefore, I need someone with a clean background and the courage to take on the task to continue what Yunchang has not completed."

"This is a national affair, not a family matter. Zitai would not want the peace and tranquility of Youzhou to be destroyed by the hands of traitors!"

Tian Chou: ...

He finally agreed to it. As Liu Yu said, as a Han official, how could he be trapped by the state affairs? Besides, this was not considered a betrayal of Ding Yuan - I think Lord Ding would not want to see the rebels in Youzhou wreaking havoc!
But Tian Chou still had a doubt: "If Lord Guan leads a large army to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, then wouldn't Youzhou be left empty?"

Facing this question, Liu Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "Zitai will know when the time comes!"

……

When he received the imperial edict, Guan Yu had already led his troops into Zhuo County, where the people had also been instigated to rebel, but he quickly divided his troops to defeat and pacify them.

After Zheng Yi, the messenger in charge of delivering the imperial edict, finished reading the imperial edict, he said to Guan Yu, "General Zhengbei, His Majesty has something else to say."

Hearing this, Guan Yu, who had just bowed to Zheng Yi, immediately changed his attitude to a more humble one: "Please speak."

The usher said, "Your Majesty has said that this civil unrest was mostly instigated by rebels in secret. Please, General, make sure to investigate the culprit!"

After hearing this, Guan Yu understood the meaning and bowed to Zheng Yi again.

After Zheng Yi handed the bamboo slips with the imperial edict to Guan Yu, he took out a document from his bosom and said, "In addition, His Majesty has ordered me to follow the general to prevent some people from maliciously slandering the general's reputation. The military supervisor is also nominally sent... This rebellion is unusual, and the military supervisor is a custom decided by the court. But please don't disturb me, I have been instructed by the emperor not to interfere in military affairs."

Guan Yu did not feel that the emperor suspected him. Anyway, he was open-minded.

But he looked at Zheng Yi, who was not very old. He was no more than 26 or 27 years old. To be able to serve as an usher and become an angel, his background must be extraordinary.

Besides, what is he capable of?
Guan Yu wanted to ask, "How do you prevent malicious slander?"

Zheng Yi replied: "My father is known as the 'God of Scripture'."

Guan Yu's expression relaxed.

Zheng Xuan could not be considered a powerful person.

He said to Zheng Yi: "The imperial edict does not specify how many troops we need to take to Jizhou. I should discuss it with General Liu first and then make a decision!"

In Bingzhou, this scene also happened in front of Cao Cao.

But unlike Guan Yu who was still in the mood to ponder his angelic origin, Cao Cao wanted to laugh out loud after receiving the imperial edict.

The attendant in front of him, Zong Cheng, was a famous scholar from Nanyang, and he was unwilling to lose face.

After seeing Zong Cheng off and returning home, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His wife, Mrs. Ding, came over upon hearing the news and asked hurriedly, "What happened to you that makes you so happy?"

Cao Cao laughed and handed the imperial edict to Ding, saying happily: "My childhood wish has finally come true today!"

Ding was also literate, so she carefully took the imperial edict, opened it, and exclaimed. "How is it?" Cao Cao asked.

Ding bowed and said, "I didn't know that General Zhengxi was here. I greet General Zhengxi!"

Cao Cao saw this and said to Qiao: "Don't blame those who don't know. Don't be polite!"

The couple was in the middle of their performance when they heard some noise outside the door. They turned their heads immediately and saw Cao Pi staring at them with wide eyes.

The two of them immediately regained their composure. Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Cao Pi to go play somewhere else before talking about business.

Ding said first: "I saw in the imperial edict that you are to be transferred to suppress the rebellion. Zixiu is now in the Northern Army. I wonder if you can meet him."

"It is difficult, but there are talented generals in the court. Madam, don't worry too much about Zixiu." Cao Cao said, "I am most worried about you when I go to war this time. Why not send someone to send you back to Luoyang before I set off?"

After thinking about it, Ding said, "That's good. Although the Xiongnu have changed a lot in recent years, it's not the same thing as a day. The Xiongnu's character won't change in a few years. If we go back to Luoyang, you'll have less worries."

Liangzhou.

Sun Jian, who had been guarding Hanyang County for a long time, was very happy.

He knew that Hanyang County had a special location, but in recent years the Qiang and Di people in Liangzhou had been very pacified, and he had been so idle that he had gained a lot of fat.

Now he finally heard that the court had issued a new transfer order, and it was still about leading troops in battle, which was what he was best at!
Upon hearing the news, Fu Xie, the governor of Liangzhou, also came to congratulate him.

Sun Jian knew that after this departure, he would probably never return to Hanyang. Although his family was in Luoyang, he was reluctant to leave the land he had watched develop.

Fu Xie saw Sun Jian's worries and said with a smile: "Sun Zhengnan, when you go to build your career, don't forget your old friends in Liangzhou!"

"I will never forget it!" Sun Jian was not a sentimental person and recovered quickly.

Three auxiliary.

Although the three prefectures no longer needed to worry about foreign invasions after the stabilization of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, the troops of Jingzhao Huya Camp and Fufeng Camp were still maintained.

Now, the soldiers of the two camps have received the imperial edict.

Tao Qian looked at the tall and strong captain in front of him and his heart beat faster.

To be honest, he had become more and more timid as he got older, especially after he was betrayed by his fellow villagers. He still felt a little scared when he thought about it.

At least now he doesn't dare to deliberately look down on Zhang Wen like he did when he was young.

"My Lord, regarding the imperial decree..."

"Okay, okay! Fengxian is a brave general. I only hope that the soldiers of the Tiger Tooth Camp can follow Fengxian to achieve great things. If Fengxian is anxious, I will send someone to take Fengxian to the Tiger Tooth Camp after dinner."

Lu Bu was very pleased with Tao Qian's friendly attitude.

He forced a smile at Tao Qian.

At present, the imperial court has only appointed three generals in the army to quell the rebellion, except for the highest-ranking General of Chariots and Cavalry, Huangfu Song, and there is still one general who has not yet been determined.

Although Huang Zhong was very likely to take the position, Lu Bu felt that he could also compete for it.
