Liu Fei immediately bowed to the Spirit Monarch and shouted,""Your Majesty, I once said that after I take charge of Yuzhou's army, I will definitely wipe out the bandits in Yuzhou and prevent them from happening. However, now that things have changed and Yuzhou has been occupied by bandits, I have no soldiers to mobilize. Your Majesty, can you give me an army to recover Yuzhou?”
As soon as Liu Fei said that, the Spirit Monarch's expression turned awkward.
Great General He Jin and the others also felt awkward.
After all, the Spirit Emperor had already issued a decree to make Liu Fei the governor of Yuzhou, in charge of military and political power.
However, he was stopped by He Jin and the others, causing the matter to drag on for nearly a month.
In the end, the thieves had indeed started a rebellion, and the momentum was so fierce that it had reached an appalling level.
The Imperial Court was panicking now.
"Allow!" The Spirit Monarch made a prompt decision and said," My dear minister, I will take 3,000 men from the West Garden and give you 50,000 soldiers 'equipment. You can summon the rebel army yourself. I will wait for your good news. Don't let me down."”
"Your Majesty, this war still needs money and food. Your Majesty, please allocate a batch of money, food, and horses so that I can gather the rebel army. After all, we have already reached a critical juncture. If it was before, I would not have needed to ask Your Majesty for a single soldier and would have been able to eliminate the thieves in the bud.”
Liu Fei shook his head.
Now was the time to rob. Of course, they would rob as many as they could.
Who asked these guys to be heartless first?
The Spirit Monarch frowned.
Money?
He was poor.
He rolled his eyes and said," Situ Yuan, General, each of you will give Minister Liu 5,000 horses, 5,000 strong crossbows, and 50,000 dan of grain.”
Yuan Huai and He Jin's faces instantly turned the color of pig liver.
They wanted to object, but that was the emperor's imperial edict.
Moreover, they also knew that the reason why the Emperor had issued such an imperial edict was entirely because they had stopped the Emperor from granting Liu Fei the title, which led to today's incident.
He Jin was even more speechless.
One had to know that Liu Fei had promised in front of everyone in the Imperial Court that as long as he took office, he would dare to guarantee that he would not let any thief enter the Si Li from Yuzhou.
However, the bandits had already occupied the entire Yingchuan County and had even appeared in Henan. This was equivalent to entering Luoyang.
Now that Liu Fei was giving the emperor all his supplies, it was indirectly equivalent to slapping his face.
However, he had no choice.
The Spirit Monarch glanced at the two of them and said,""The Imperial Court raised you all to serve the Imperial Court. Now that we've reached a critical juncture, the three dukes and nine ministers have to contribute money, goods, people, and effort to ensure the long-term stability of the Imperial Court.”
As soon as he said this, Yuan Huai and He Jin immediately felt much more comfortable.
It was better for everyone to pay than the two of them.
After the court session ended, Liu Fei received the necessary supplies from He Jin and Yuan Huai.
After all, according to the Yellow Turban Army's methods, if the imperial court was destroyed, the aristocratic families would not have a good ending.
That group of people were demons who had killed until their eyes were red. All the officials and aristocrats were their enemies.
When he came out of He Jin's place, Liu Fei said to He Jin, whose face had darkened,"Great General, my strength alone is limited. Please send an army with me to eliminate the thieves in Yingchuan County.”
"Could it be that General Liu still can't exterminate the bandits in Yuzhou?" He Jin asked in surprise.”
Liu Fei shook his head and sighed." If they hadn't started a rebellion before, I could guarantee that I could stop them. But now, the entire Yingchuan County has been occupied by the bandits. Moreover, they are attacking Henan. If Henan is occupied, Luoyang will be in danger."”
When He Jin heard this, he said gloomily,"Okay!" You go first. I'll arrange for Zhu He to lead a troop to Yingchuan Prefecture. I hope Liu Taoni can assess Yingchuan Prefecture as soon as possible. Then, we'll work together with the other armies to clean up the rebels around Si Li and then subdue the thieves in Yuzhou.”
Liu Fei rolled his eyes. This old man obviously wanted to protect himself first.
However, in order to reassure the old man and get more support from him, Liu Fei still felt that he had to give him some reassurance.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Fei said with a firm gaze,""Please rest assured, sirs. As long as no one holds me back, in order to show my determination to resist the thief, I have decided…"
Everyone was stunned. They all craned their necks, waiting to hear what Liu Fei's decision was.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also craned their necks.
In Yuan Shao's opinion, this Liu Fei was now even darker than Cao Cao.
Since he managed to get 5,000 dans of food from his uncle with just a few words, he was really black-hearted.
However, he rolled his eyes and added in his heart that this Cao Cao seemed to be like charcoal.
"I've decided to bring my wife and father-in-law with me on this expedition.”Liu Fei said righteously.
Hiss…
Everyone gasped.
It seemed like Liu Fei was determined to win.
In an instant, the gazes of He Jin and the others became much gentler. Even Zhao Zhong, who was supervising everyone at the side, had a look of admiration in his eyes.
Behind the crowd, Cao Cao cursed Liu Fei for being shameless.
This bastard, he hadn't even married Cai Yan and already used Cai Yan.
Cao Cao thought that Liu Fei was afraid that the duck in his hand would fly away and wanted to enjoy it first.
Liu Fei turned his head to look at Cao Cao and ignored him. He followed Zhao Zhong to the West Garden and ordered 5,000 soldiers. Then, under everyone's gaze, he went to the Cai Residence to pick up Cai Yong, Cai Yan, and the others. Only then did they set off for Yingchuan County.
The Spirit Monarch jumped in excitement when he heard that Liu Fei had brought his fiancée and future father-in-law to the battlefield to show his determination to win.
"This is my loyal subject, the pillar of the country! Come on, draw up an imperial edict for me. Cai Yong will be appointed as the governor of Yingchuan County to assist Liu Fei in destroying the bandits. When he returns with a great victory, he will be rewarded according to his achievements.”
Once the news spread, the entire court was shocked.
With Cai Yong's reputation, it wouldn't be too much to rank among the three dukes.
However, everyone knew from this imperial edict that this reward was not because of Cai Yong's fame, but because of Liu Fei.
Because of Liu Fei, the Emperor would reward a celebrity like Cai Yong, which shocked the entire court.
It seemed like Liu Fei was bound to become the new aristocrat.
