"This King will not use anyone I suspect. If Duke Di thinks that this King's actions will incur criticism, then Duke Di will use your abilities to prove to the world that this King's judgment is not wrong.”
Liu Ye helped Di Renjie up, giving him absolute trust and affirmation.
Di Renjie was touched by Liu Ye's trust in him. He immediately knelt down and thanked him,""Thanks to the favor of His Highness, King Zhao, Di Renjie will pledge his loyalty to repay the King's kindness.”
After pacifying Di Renjie, Liu Ye turned his gaze to Li Yuanfang.
Li Yuan Fang possessed superb martial arts, and his reaction speed was also extremely fast. However, his command was a little low.
Such a person was not suitable to lead an army in battle, but Liu Ye left a new position for Li Yuan Fang and let Li Yuan Fang manage the Skynet for him.
The current commander of the Heavenly Net was Zhangsun Wuji. However, Zhangsun Wuji had to help Liu Ye deal with the military and political affairs of Yanmen County. He also had to give Liu Ye advice and even take care of the Heavenly Net.
In the past, there was no manpower, so Zhangsun Wuji had no choice but to work multiple jobs.
Now that he had Li Yuanfang, he naturally had to reduce Zhangsun Wuji's pressure.
Li Yuanfang agreed with Liu Ye's words.
Just like that, the two of them took up their posts. Li Yuanfang took over the affairs of the Heavenly Net, and Di Renjie became the magistrate of the four counties. He began to arrange the cattle and sheep that Liu Ye had plundered and the people who had followed him.
With a large amount of money and food as the backing, Liu Ye ordered Xue Rengui to attack everywhere, while he made drastic changes to the internal affairs and expanded the army.
As for whether doing so would attract the attention of the Imperial Court, Liu Ye had never considered this question.
In any case, he had already offended He Jin and Empress He, so what was there to worry about?
Moreover, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had broken out, the imperial court was about to be beaten up by the Yellow Turban Army. They had no time to care about Liu Ye's development.
……
After a few days of continuous travel, Ding Yuan's messenger finally delivered the report to Emperor Liu Hong.
Not only that, the private letter that Ding Yuan had given to He Jin had already been handed over to He Jin when Liu Hong received the report.
"Damned Liu Ye, I only asked him to guard Yanmen, but he killed the innocent and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people.”
"Now that the Xiongnu have been destroyed, and he has killed tens of thousands of Xianbei people, there is no longer anything to worry about. At that time, he can lead his troops into Si Li and even Luoyang.”
Thinking of this, Liu Hong stood up in shock. His back was completely drenched in cold sweat.
"I am the Son of Heaven. Without my orders, Liu Ye dared to kill the innocent. Even if he is my son, I will never forgive him.”
"Quickly pass on the decree to gather all the officials into the court to discuss important matters.”
Not long after, Liu Hong gathered all the officials in the hall and read out Ding Yuan's report to them.
Liu Hong looked at the crowd anxiously and asked,""Everyone, what do you think of this matter?”
Yang Biao, Yuan Huai, and the others were all old foxes. They narrowed their eyes and did not say a word.
Even though Liu Ye used the excuse that the Yanmen clan had colluded with the Xianbei clan to kill many aristocratic families.
There was also a great clan that had some relationship with Yang Biao.
But now, the Yellow Turban uprising had swept through all the states, and Liu Ye actually had an army that could destroy the Xianbei and Xiongnu.
No one dared to come to a conclusion about the future. At this time, no old fox was willing to offend Liu Ye, who had a large army in his hands. Naturally, they stood by and waited for an opportunity.
However, Yang Biao and Yuan Kui were not anxious, but He Jin was somewhat anxious.
One had to know that the Xianbei army was let in by He Jin. They originally thought that the Xianbei could break through Yanmen Pass and kill Liu Ye.
He didn't expect Liu Ye to have such a powerful force under his command. While killing the Xianbei, he could also send troops to destroy the Southern Xiongnu.
Now that the Great Han Dynasty was in chaos and the Yellow Turban Army was attacking cities and seizing territory everywhere, there were not many soldiers and horses in the entire Si Li that could be mobilized.
If Liu Ye really led his army south to attack the capital, the first to suffer would be He Jin.
Therefore, He Jin could not help but say,"Your Majesty, Liu Ye has just taken up his post in Yanmen. Logically speaking, he doesn't have many soldiers.”
"But he used less than half a month to defeat the Xianbei and destroy the Southern Xiongnu. From this, we can see that Liu Ye must have a large army.”
"Now that the world is full of bandits, the Yellow Turban bandits are wreaking havoc in all parts of the Great Han Dynasty, and the Si Li army is empty, Liu Ye is showing his army at this time.”
"I think that Liu Ye has ulterior motives and is very likely to harm Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please investigate and make arrangements as soon as possible.”
Liu Hong waved his hand and said impatiently,""Don't I know that I have to be wary of Liu Ye? But now, the army of Si Li has been taken by Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi to deal with those Yellow Turban bandits. Even if I want to mobilize troops to deal with Liu Ye, where will the troops come from?”
He Jin quickly suggested,"His Majesty should quickly issue an edict to recruit troops in the Si Li area and dispatch troops as soon as possible to strictly guard against Liu Ye."”
"I can issue an edict to immediately recruit soldiers. The problem is where the money and food for the soldiers will come from.”
As Liu Hong spoke, he turned his gaze to He Jin and the civil and military officials present.
Hearing Liu Hong asking for money, all the officials lowered their heads like quails.
It was naturally not a problem for them to wave flags and cheer for Liu Hong.
However, if he had to pay for it himself, it would be equivalent to taking everyone's lives.
Who would be willing to hand over their lives?
Even He Jin was silent. He didn't want to be the one to stand out.
