" This is Li Bai, the Governor of Liaodong. Open the city gates quickly!" Guan Hai shouted after Li Bai, Guan Hai, Han Dang, and the Tiger Guards arrived at Ji County.
Guan Hai saw that the city gate captain was hesitating and shouted,"" Are your dog eyes blind? Hurry up and open the city gates. When Prefecture Overseer Liu finds out, let's see how you'll explain yourself. Hmph."
Li Bai waved his hand and stopped Guan Hai from speaking. He said to the lieutenant,"" This is the seal of the Governor of Liaodong. Brother, please open the city gate and let us in to see Governor Liu." Li Bai took out the seal and showed it to the lieutenant.
When the lieutenant saw Li Bai take out the seal, he quickly ordered people to open the city gate and went down the tower to say to Li Bai,""Sir, please don't blame me. This subordinate is also following orders. Please, sir..."
Before he could finish, Li Bai interrupted him,"" It's fine, I know this is your duty," the lieutenant said gratefully as he looked at Li Bai."Milord, the Prefecture Overseer is in the residence. Milord, please!”
Li Bai nodded, and then rushed toward the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion with Guan Hai and the others.
" My lord, that fellow was so rude just now. Why did my lord still treat him like that?" Guan Hai grumbled to Li Bai on the way.
Li Bai turned his head to look at Guan Hai, then shook his head and said,""Boyong, you are like this. Think about it, if we were sent by Zhang Ju and that lieutenant listened to you and opened the city gate, what do you think would happen?”。
Guan Hai seemed to have understood something and didn't continue. Instead, he looked at Li Bai with a blush and said softly," Thank you for your teachings, my lord. I understand."
Seeing Guan Hai's reaction, Li Bai nodded in relief.
Han Dang looked at Li Bai with admiration.
" Please tell Lord Prefecture Overseer that the Governor of Liaodong, Li Bai, has come to pay his respects," Li Bai said to the guard at the door after arriving at the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
The leader looked at Li Bai, then looked at Guan Hai and the others, nodded, and walked in.
" Aiya, this old man has finally found Governor Li. Youzhou is saved." After a while, a voice came from the manor before he arrived.
Li Bai raised his head and saw a man in his fifties. He was seven feet tall, thin, and had graying sideburns. However, his eyes were bright. Li Bai thought to himself that this man was Liu Yu, the Overseer of Youzhou.
Liu Yu October 193), the word Bo An.
East China Sea Tan (now Shandong Tancheng) people.
He was a famous politician at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a relative of the Han clan.
When he was guarding Youzhou, he was lenient and benevolent, pacifying the people and winning the hearts of the people.
He advocated a policy of appeasement towards the local nomads, but because of his disagreement with Gongsun Zan, he attacked Gongsun Zan and was defeated and killed.
Liu Yu's grandfather, Liu Jia, was once Guangluxun, and his father, Liu Shu, was once the prefect of Danyang. Liu Yu was promoted to a county official because of his filial piety and honesty. Later, he was promoted to the governor of Youzhou because of his accumulated achievements. During his tenure as governor of Youzhou, Liu Yu had high prestige among Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Mo and other foreign races. He paid tribute at any time and did not dare to harass them. The common people sang songs to praise Liu Yu's merits.
Later, he was dismissed from office due to official business.
In 184 AD (the first year of Zhongping), the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. The Yellow Turban Army broke through the counties of Jizhou. The court appointed Liu Yu as the Minister of Ganling to appease the people after the famine. He set frugality as an example for his subordinates and was soon promoted to Zong Zheng.
In 187 AD (the fourth year of Zhongping), Zhang Chun, the former prime minister of Zhongshan, Zhang Ju, the former prefect of Taishan, and the Lord of Wuhuan formed an alliance and launched a rebellion. They attacked Jixia, burned the city walls, captured the people, killed the Wuhuan Colonel Ji Chou, Liu Zheng, the prefect of Right Beiping, Yang Zhong, the prefect of Liaodong, etc., and their troops reached more than 100,000. They were stationed in Feiru. Zhang Ju called himself the "Son of Heaven", and Zhang Chun called himself "General Mi Tian, King of Anding". They sent letters to various prefectures and counties, saying that they would replace the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Chun also sent Wuhuan Qiao Wang and other 50,000 troops into Qingzhou, Hebei two states, broke through Qinghe, Pingyuan, killing officials and people.
The following year, the imperial court reappointed Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou because of his high prestige in the north.
When Liu Yu arrived at Ji City, he streamlined his troops and gave them a wide range of favors. He sent messengers to tell King Qiao and the others that the Imperial Court would be lenient and that they could be exempted from their crimes. He also put a bounty on Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.
The two of them fled to the frontier, and the rest surrendered or fled. Zhang Chun was killed by his subordinate Wang Zheng and his head was sent to Liu Yu. Emperor Ling of Han sent an emissary to promote Liu Yu to Marshal and confer the title of Marquis Rongqiu.
Youzhou was originally a poor state and needed Qingzhou and Jizhou to subsidize official expenses. However, at that time, due to the war, transportation was cut off and money could not be transferred. Liu Yu earned income from opening the Shanggu market to trade with foreign races and mining the salt and iron mines in Yuyang, causing more than a million people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou to flee here and live and work in peace and contentment.
In 189 AD (the first year of Yong Han), Dong Zhuo monopolized power and sent an emissary to grant Liu Yu the title of Grand Sima and the title of Marquis of Xiangben.
Sima Guang once commented on Liu Yu, saying,"Yu won the hearts of the people with his kindness. The people of the North Prefecture are all regretful."”
Therefore, Li Bai admired and respected such a loyal elder from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Liu Yu, Li Bai quickly went forward and bowed to Liu Yu. He bowed 90 degrees to express his respect for Liu Yu. Then, he said respectfully,"Governor of Liaodong, General Li Bai greets Governor Liu. It was a waste of time. Please forgive me, Prefecture Overseer."
After hearing Li Bai's words, Liu Yu was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. Why is Governor Li like this? You're not late, you're not late." Then, he came forward and held Li Bai's hand, saying,"" Lord Li, the safety of the people of Youzhou depends on you." After saying that, Liu Yu's expression darkened.
Just as Li Bai was about to speak, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar beside Liu Yu said to Liu Yu,""My lord, it's not too late to talk about it in the residence first."
Liu Yu quickly nodded and said," Look at me. I was so happy to see Lord Li that I forgot about this." After saying that, he looked at Li Bai apologetically. Li Bai smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind. Seeing Li Bai shake his head, Liu Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He still didn't understand Li Bai's temperament. He was afraid that his neglect would make Li Bai unhappy. At this moment, he still needed to rely on Li Bai's Liaodong army to deal with Zhang Ju's rebel army, so he had to be cautious.
" Lord Li, please come in," Liu Yu said to Li Bai. Li Bai said to Liu Yu in fear,"" In terms of position, Sir is the Prefecture Overseer. In terms of seniority, Sir is an elder. I wouldn't dare to do this. Please go first, Sir Prefecture Overseer. I will go first."
Liu Yu looked at Li Bai in surprise and laughed,"" In that case, Lord Li, please." After saying that, Liu Yu went into the manor first. Li Bai smiled when he saw this, then followed Liu Yu into the manor.
P.S. I just updated a chapter when I arrived at my hometown with my wife.
