They sped along.
After nearly a month, Liu Qing finally arrived at Shangdang.
Now, less than a year had passed since the Yellow Turban Uprising, and he only had five hundred troops. He could only hope that his plans over the years would be effective.
As for the so-called Ding Yuan, he did not have the appearance of an ambitious person yet, and Lu Bu was just a nameless pawn.
Originally, after Zhang Yi died, Ding Yuan would become the governor of Bingzhou and take in Lu Bu as his foster son.
The current Lu Bu was probably still a defeated general in Wuyuan County, playing hide-and-seek with the Xianbei people and Wuwan people, honing his martial arts.
Changzi County.
Liu Qing directly showed the emperor's edict and entered the city. Now that many parts of Bingzhou had fallen, the governor of Bingzhou had temporarily appointed his eldest son, and the border of Yanmen Prefecture had become the base of the Han Dynasty army.
"The former governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Yi, greets Lord Liu!”After Zhang Yi saw the emperor's edict, he led the officials of Bingzhou to welcome Liu Qing and his party.
Liu Qing nodded slightly and said in a deep voice,"Who is the current prefect of Taiyuan and Yanmen?"”
"Taiyuan Prefecture Governor Wang Qiu, Yanmen Prefecture Governor Ye Wang, Shangdang Prefecture Governor Ding Yuan. Other than Wang Qiu and Ye Wang, who are still defending their territory against the foreign tribes, all the officials above the county magistrate level of Bing Province are here!”Zhang Yi said sadly.
Liu Qing's gaze swept across the less than 30 officials and his heart sank.
Even if Yanmen and Taiyuan had left many officials to guard the border, there shouldn't be so few. There were more than 50,000 households in the three prefectures!
"Zhang Yi, His Majesty has prepared the position of Governor of the Capital for you. When the imperial edict arrives, you are allowed to return to the court to report on your work within a month!”Liu Qing took out an imperial edict and turned his gaze to a middle-aged man. He was the closest to Zhang Yi, and to be able to reach this stage, it must be Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan had many powerful men under his command, such as Zhang Yang and the others. Unfortunately, Ding Yuan was under the command of General He Jin, so he could not be spared.
"Governor of the capital?"
Ding Yuan and the others looked at Zhang Yi enviously.
Don't think that it's easy to be a provincial governor, especially in a place like Bingzhou or Youzhou. If you're not careful, you'll lose your life.
The governor of the capital was a gilded official position. After staying in the capital for two years, one would become an official. At the very least, one would be a councilor, and it was even possible for one to be ranked among the nine ministers and three dukes.
"Milord, after the administrative handover, I will head to Luoyang to report on my work!”Zhang Yi said happily.
Liu Qing waved his hand and said in a deep voice," Liu Qi, bring the Bei Wei Army to the Provincial Governor's Office. I'll go meet my old friends first!"”
"Yes!"
Liu Qing replied.
"Old friend?" Zhang Yi and the others were suspicious.
Liu Qing rode his horse to Yuelai Inn alone. Yuelai Inn was spread all over the thirteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty.
These were all his properties. Just the layout of Yuelai Inn alone had exhausted three to four tenths of his family's property.
"Patriarch!"
In front of the inn, an old man with white hair and a white beard led a horse and said respectfully.
Liu Qing's lips curled into a smile as he said,""Uncle Rong, how many people have come?"
"Of the seven, three of them are scholars!”Liu Rong said respectfully.
"Good!"
"The party ban has been lifted. Uncle Rong will follow me in the future so that Liu Qi can be sent to the army to temper himself!”Liu Qing said solemnly.
"I hope San Er didn't cause any trouble for the family head!" Liu Rong nodded.”
"Haha!"
"He's a good blade that hasn't been sharpened yet!" Liu Qing laughed loudly.”
After entering the courtyard of Yuelai Inn, Liu Qingyuan saw a pavilion. There were three people playing chess in the pavilion and four people fighting in the martial arts field in the lake.
"Wen Ruo is still the same as always. Is playing chess that fun?”Liu Qing walked to the pavilion while talking and laughing.
"My lord!"
Xun Yu threw a black piece and turned his head to smile.""If you don't play chess with Yu, someone else will play. It's a pity that my Xiao Lian came to Bingzhou on a whim!”
"Gongda, long time no see!" Liu Qing laughed.
Xun You nodded and said seriously," Fengxiao, Zhicai has not completed his studies and was stopped by Sima Hui. He did not come to Bingzhou. Fengxiao said that if the world is in chaos in the future, he will definitely be an official and pave the way for the lord!”
Liu Qing laughed coldly." When I went to Yingchuan to pay a visit, Sima Hui, that old fellow, repeatedly declined. He had already expected this!"”
"Uncle!"
A green-robed young man who was playing chess with Xun Yu stood up and bowed slightly to Liu Qing. He said respectfully,""My father passed away, and my brother stayed at home to mourn!”
"Is that so?"
"Liu Ye, don't embarrass your parents!" Liu Qing sighed.”
"Yes!" Liu Ye said respectfully.
Xun Yu asked curiously,"My lord, those few generals in the martial arts arena are really powerful. How did you find them?"”
"That young man with the Snake Spear was selling meat when we passed by Zhuo County. He likes wine, and I happened to have brought a lot of wine with me!”
"That red-faced young man, when I passed by Xie Liang in the east of the river, I helped him solve a murder case!”
"That strong man with a short halberd was wanted by the government office when he killed Chief Fu Chun in Chen Liu. I helped him settle this matter!”
"There was also that burly man with a short knife and ferocious eyes. His son, Huang Xu, was young and sickly. At that time, he was the guard of the city gate and could not make ends meet. In the end, I asked a doctor to treat him!”Liu Qing explained.
