The Battle of Chang Mountain.
Liu Xian accepted the surrender of 50,000 people and the Yellow Turban rebels. The rest scattered into the forest.
The Taihang Mountains were too majestic. They swept through Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. Tens of thousands of people had fled into the mountains and forests, making it difficult to find them. Liu Xian did not dwell on this matter.
Now that Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Bai Rao and the others had died, the rebels were no longer a threat.
Three days later, Liu Xian handed over the rebels to the Governor of Changshan and then went to Guangzong with Gongsun Zan.
It was July.
Liu Xian returned to Guangzong City.
In five days, the system would start investing. He needed to make sufficient preparations.
In the commander's tent in the Great Han Army camp.
Liu Xian checked the battle reports from various places.
Lu Zhi and Gongsun Zan were catching up on the past.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu told Liu Xian about the changes in Julu these days.
"Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou have been pacified. Now, all that's left is Jizhou!”Cao Cao sighed.
Liu Xian shook his head and said in a deep voice," Right now, the ones who have been pacified are the main forces. There are also some rebels who have escaped into the forest and formed a bandit problem. This requires the local governors to raise their troops to encircle and suppress them!”
"Isn't this the reason why the party ban was lifted?”Cao Cao laughed.
"Meng De!"
"Prepare a battle report and report the matter of Changshan back to Luoyang. Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong have already led their troops towards Julu and asked the emperor to order the two armies to withdraw!”Liu Xian said in a deep voice.
"Here!" Cao Cao nodded.
"My lord!"
"There's a vacancy for the governor of Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and many other places. I think Luoyang has already started fighting!”Cheng Yu said worriedly.
Lu Zhi frowned and turned to Cheng Yu.""Zhongde, what do you mean?"
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion has cleared the chessboard. Now, people are waiting to place their pieces, and the people holding the pieces are the emperor and the gentry. Therefore, these official positions will be fought for. As for who will obtain these official positions, it will still depend on the competition in the court!”Cheng Yu said.
"Swoosh!"
Liu Xian spread out the map of the Han Dynasty and said in a deep voice,""More than half of the thirteen provinces of Great Han are vacant. Now that the country is weak, who does Zhong De think has the chance to compete for the position of provincial governor?”
"The aristocrats are not stupid. They will elect their disciples as provincial governors and their own children as prefects!”
"For example, Yanzhou has Ji Bei Nation and the Yuan Clan!”
"If Ji Bei Wang doesn't fight, then the governor of Yanzhou must be a relative of the Han clan!”
"Take Youzhou, an important place at the border. Bingzhou is either a relative of the Han Dynasty or a close minister of the emperor. The governor of Jizhou, Liu Yan, was sent back to Luoyang a few days ago to report on his work. He should be transferred to Yizhou to prevent the invasion of the southern barbarians.”Cheng Yu explained.
Liu Xian was shocked.
As far as he knew, Liu Yan had been appointed as the herdsman of Yizhou after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the other prefects and provincial governors had also been replaced. The people chosen were all descendants of aristocratic families, disciples of great families, and loyal people of the emperor!
"The last time I went to Luoyang, the emperor said that he wanted to give my lord a big gift!”
"I'm afraid it's somewhere on this chessboard. Perhaps it's Yanzhou, Jizhou, or Youzhou!”
"All of this needs to be snatched by my lord. As long as my lord can suppress all the officials in Luoyang, you can choose any place you want. If you can't suppress them, then you can only pick up the wisdom of others!”Cheng Yu frowned.
Lu Zhi frowned." As the nomad of the Heavenly Herders, you actually treat it as a trade! You cede it!"”
"General Lu!"
"This is the current officialdom. You only see the emperor selling his official position, but you don't see that he has already weakened the side branches of the aristocratic families. The emperor's wisdom is beyond ordinary people's reach!”Cheng Yu said with a faint smile.
Liu Xian knocked on the table, narrowed his eyes and sneered,"Bogui, I remember that the grasslands are still in chaos!”
"Yes!"
Gongsun Zan nodded.
Liu Xian tapped his finger on the map of Bingzhou and said indifferently,""I want this place. No one can stop me!”
"My lord, you want to send troops from Bingzhou to cooperate with General Gongsun to hunt down the Wuhuan and Xianbei?”Cheng Yu asked.
"Not bad!"
A trace of coldness flashed through Liu Xian's eyes as he said,""They want something, so how can they just give it away? Have they forgotten what happened to Chen Fan, Dou Wu, and Empress Dowager Dou?”
"My lord, please be careful with your words. The Yuan family has taken the position of Grand Marshal from the Yang family, and the position of Grand Marshal is still vacant.”Cheng Yu said respectfully.
"The Great General doesn't have military power!"
Liu Xian's body trembled. He turned to Lu Zhi and said,""Did Liu Yan say anything before he returned to the court?”
Lu Zhi said in a deep voice,"I only sigh that the provincial governor's power is light. Otherwise, the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to cause chaos in the world."”
"Impossible!"
Liu Xian's eyes widened. He had a premonition that his little butterfly had stirred up a storm. The era of the Prefecture Overseer was coming, and the position of Prefecture Overseer was prepared for the Han clan. What was even more terrifying was that Liu Yan would divide Yizhou.
"Report!"
"Urgent report from Luoyang!"
"The governor of Jizhou, Liu Yan, has proposed that the governor be transferred to the governor of the prefecture. The emperor has invited the heir of the King of Jibei into the court!”Suddenly, an urgent report came from outside the tent.
