Zuo Feng left less than ten minutes after he arrived.
Liu Cheng drank his tea expressionlessly, his emotions unreadable.
Zhao Yun was curious, but since Liu Cheng didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask.
After a while, Liu Cheng put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Yun.
"Zilong, what do you think of the current Han Dynasty?”
"This…" Zhao Yun was stunned." Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been pacified, Lord Liu Yan has proposed to change the governor of the prefecture to the governor of the prefecture. All the prefectures and counties are allowed to station troops." I don't think something like the Yellow Turban Rebellion will happen again. With the previous lesson, I think the Han Dynasty will correct its mistakes and restore the might of our Great Han Dynasty.”
"Is that so?"
Liu Cheng smiled and shook his head.
"Zilong, how much do you think I contributed to the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?”
"My lord personally led the army out to battle, and it was always successful. He killed 300,000 Yellow Turban rebels, personally shot Zhang Jiao, and killed Zhang Bao. In terms of merit, if the lord claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.”
"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have known that I was so powerful.”
"Then what kind of reward do you think my royal brother will give me?" Liu Cheng smiled.”
"This…"
Zhao Yun was stunned. She shook her head and said,""This subordinate does not know. Perhaps it was a fief, a city, or a king?”
"Conferred emperor?"
Liu Cheng laughed loudly.
"Zilong is really good to me. He could not even think about becoming an emperor. There was no land or city. However, he was given an official title."
"Oh? Could it be a public official?"
"Gongqing?"
Liu Cheng shook his head and then revealed an angry expression.
"Governor of Liu City."
" Willow City???"
Zhao Yun was immediately stunned.
Although Liu City was called a city, it was smaller than Zhuo County…
The key point was that this place was located at the border between the Great Han and the Wuhuan.
The Wuhuan had strong troops and horses. They invaded the border of the Great Han Dynasty all year round, and Liu City suffered greatly from them.
There was no prefect in that place.
No one was willing to be the prefect of that place. Under the invasion of the Wuhuan, no one could withstand it.
"My lord, is this true?"
"Do I look like I'm lying to you?"
"As far as I know, the 100,000 Tu Cavalry under the Wuhuan King Qiu Liju's command are capable of charging and shooting. They are brave and good at fighting." Their combat strength was not much weaker than the valiant archer cavalry. It was said that Liu City only had 500 soldiers, so they were no match for the Wuhuan. The Wuhuan invasion of Liu City was like a backdoor.”
"I know that. So, do you still not understand what my royal brother means?”
Liu Cheng exhaled." The Spirit Monarch saw that my army is brave and skilled in battle. I have a high reputation. He is afraid that I will pose a threat to him. And because of my outstanding battle achievements, the Spirit Monarch can't do anything to me. " Therefore, I can only use this method. On the surface, I'm the governor of Liu City. In reality, I'm being nailed to Liu City. On one hand, we are relying on our military strength to try and stop the Wuhuan. On the other hand, they are using the Wuhuan to pin us down and wear down our forces.”
"This…"
Zhao Yun was speechless. He agreed with what Liu Cheng said.
However, that was the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty…
"Zilong, let me ask you again. What do you think of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Cheng exhaled.”
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Cheng, then sighed and said,""The Han Dynasty is in decline. The emperor is narrow-minded, and the Han Dynasty exists in name only. If the situation here continued to develop, the various dukes would station their troops. Once there was a fuse, the heroes would rise up and the Han Dynasty would no longer exist.”
Liu Cheng stood up and walked to Zhao Yun's side. He gently patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and left the room.
Actually, Liu Cheng was not very angry because he had already expected these things.
It was impossible for the Spirit Monarch to be so obedient as to become the Mu of Youzhou Province for Liu Cheng. He was afraid of him.
While Zhang Rang was whispering in his ear, He Jin would definitely realize something. He naturally would not go along with Zhang Rang's wishes.
Even though there might be people speaking up for him in the court where he was rewarded.
However, the more it was like this, the more cowardly the Spirit Monarch became.
It was normal for him to be sent to the border.
As for the Wuhuan, Liu Cheng was not afraid.
The Wuhuan cavalry were indeed good at fighting, but their side was also brave. With Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and two Divine Grade military strategists, together with their own good generals and strong soldiers, would they be afraid of the Wuhuan?
Moreover, that place was far away from the emperor, so he could develop without any scruples.
That night, Liu Cheng slept very soundly.
However, there were two people who did not sleep well. One of them was Zhao Yun.
The other was Xun Yu.
