Chapter 287
"Alas!"
Liu Hong, who was kneeling on the couch, sighed.
He looked into the distance, his eyes were somewhat lost.
He said to himself.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion has caused chaos in the world."
"It really pains me."
"I never thought that such a thing would happen under my rule."
"How should I explain to my ancestors when I am in the underworld?"
Liu Yu muttered in his heart, you don't need to explain.
When you go to the underworld, I'm afraid that the emperors of the Han Dynasty will severely punish your soul.
You, a prodigal son, can't even go to reincarnation.
You will be pressed in the lowest level of hell for eternity and suffer.
You can't clear your guilt.
Emperor Liu Hong withdrew his gaze from not far away and fell on Liu Yu.
"What a pity."
He shook his head.
"If I had met Cheng Zhi earlier, I would have given you the position of governor of Youzhou."
"However, it has been confirmed that Liu Yu, the head of the royal family, will go to Youzhou to take over."
"Liu Yan will be transferred to Yizhou."
"Two royal families, one in the south and one in the north, will suppress it."
"Cooperating with the Xiyuan Army that I am about to form in Luoyang City, it will surely stabilize the world."
"To build a prosperous era again."
Liu Hong said it was a pity.
Suddenly, he changed the subject.
"Why not leave Cheng Zhi in Luoyang and form the Xiyuan Army for me."
"With Cheng Zhi's ability to lead troops, he will surely be able to form a highly combat-effective army."
"By then, Luoyang will surely be very stable."
The palace maids and eunuchs in the side hall were moved when they heard such words.
The county magistrate was directly promoted to a senior official who led troops and was relied on by the emperor. Such a huge promotion is really unheard of!
Liu Yu did not show any emotion in front of the emperor who was full of admiration.
He refused: "I think there are many talented people in Luoyang."
"It doesn't matter if I am not here."
"Even if I am not here, there are still people who can build up elite troops in Xiyuan for your majesty."
"For example, Cao Cao Mengde, the cavalry commander who followed me to fight before, is a rare wise general."
"He is quite resourceful in marching and fighting."
Emperor Liu Hong pondered, "Cao Mengde..."
After searching in his mind, he could not find the figure of that person.
It is estimated that he has no status in the court, and even if he has seen him once, he has no impression.
The emperor remembered this person in his heart, and the person recommended by Liu Yu must be reused.
There must be something unique about him.
To be praised by Liu Yu, who is like a god of war, Cao Mengde must have something unique in marching and managing the army.
The more Liu Hong looked at Liu Yu, the happier he felt.
Look, this is what a loyal minister is.
Not only is he powerful, but he can also recommend talents to his superiors.
Such a broad mind is rare!
Liu Yu kept observing the emperor's expression, and he continued.
"Your Majesty has Cao Mengde assisting him in establishing the Xiyuan Army in Luoyang."
"I am in Youzhou, helping your Majesty forge the best weapons and armor."
"It is inevitable that the strongest army in the world will be formed."
"That's right."
Liu Yu changed the subject and continued.
"I need to report to your majesty the current situation of Tanghai County, and why I can lead the county soldiers to win consecutive battles in the battle to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
"Chengzhi, tell me quickly!" Emperor Liu Hong was very excited.
When he mentioned the consecutive victories, although he had not been to the front line, he felt his blood boiling.
At the emperor's request, Liu Yu first told the other party about the specific circumstances of the four battles.
After some literary processing, the story was like listening to a story.
He even clapped his hands when it came to the exciting part.
It was much more refreshing than the plots made up by the storytellers invited by the Ten Eunuchs!
If he didn't know that these battles were real stories that happened in various parts of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Hong would have dragged Liu Yu out and chopped him on the spot.
The story was too exaggerated!
From the siege of Youzhou's capital to the great power in Qingzhou.
Then it was about the battle in Yingchuan, the defeat of the Yellow Turbans and the capture of the bandit leader.
Finally, Guangzong City was decided.
The continuous plot was compact and tense.
It made Emperor Liu Hong concentrate and dared not relax at all.
"Enjoy it!"
Emperor Liu Hong slapped his hand on the table.
There was a bang.
"It's so exciting!"
"After listening to Cheng Zhi's story, I want to ride on a warhorse and follow Cheng Zhi to the battlefield to show my masculinity!"
"Draw your spear and rein in your horse, and lie drunk on the battlefield!"
"How heroic!"
"Come on, Cheng Zhi, drink this cup with me!"
The emperor raised his wine cup to invite him to drink.
The two touched the cups in their hands and drank it all in one gulp.
"Today is reallyWhat a joy!"
Liu Yu put down the wine cup and continued to tell: "The reason why Tanghai County soldiers can win battle after battle."
"It's all because there are craftsmen who are good at ironwork in the iron village before the county was promoted."
"Under their efforts and the guidance of this humble minister, a new generation of weapons was created."
"After hundreds of attempts, we can easily cut off the standard sabers of the court."
"The best weapons can even break iron armor."
"With the advantage of weapons, Tanghai County soldiers are invincible in battle."
Emperor Liu Hong's eyes sparkled, "So that's it."
"I said that Tanghai County soldiers must have something to rely on to win such a victory."
"It's not a coincidence. "
"If such weapons can be provided for the Xiyuan Army..."
Liu Hong fantasized in his heart.
With such military power in his hands, the court will surely be very stable.
The world is very stable.
Thinking in this way, it is the best arrangement to let Liu Yu stay in Tanghai County to forge good weapons for the Xiyuan Army that is about to be formed.
But...
The position of Youzhou governor is gone, and just letting him be promoted to Youbeiping County Governor, isn't it neglecting such a good minister?
Such a reward, let alone the young man in front of him, is unacceptable.
He, the emperor, can't stand it.
More importantly, if it is really announced like this.
Who will be willing to work for him in the future?
Fighting on the battlefield Fighting hard, gaining such great military merit, but only getting a slight promotion in official position.
It doesn't match the merit!
It chills people's hearts!
Other generals who led troops heard about this, and they are afraid that they will not fight hard on the battlefield in the future.
Liu Yu's reward this time must be huge!
To win people's hearts!
Let more people see that as long as they work hard, they will have such a huge improvement.
Will be valued by the emperor.
This is what must be done.
Liu Yu saw all the changes in the emperor's expression.
But he didn't take the initiative to speak.
Instead, he lowered his head and drank silently.
Waiting for the emperor to speak first.
Sometimes, being passive is the greatest initiative.
"That... Chengzhi." Emperor Liu Hong rubbed his hands, and did not hide it, and said his hesitation directly.
Finally, he added: "I regard Chengzhi as my right-hand man, so I told Chengzhi so much."
"Although I want you to continue to supervise the forging of weapons for me in Youbeiping County. "
"But this reward has far-reaching implications."
"We must discuss it carefully."
