A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 686 Liu Ye

Bingzhou, Taiyuan County.

"Now the three counties are in my hands, but if I want to win the hearts and minds of the people, I still need to work hard. Wenyuan, since you are from Yanmen, you will be the one to guard Yanmen County. I will let Li Dian cooperate with you to start farming in Yanmen County."

"I will obey your orders and live up to your trust."

Lu Cheng then looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you and Yuanhao will stay in Taiyuan. Keep an eye on the movements of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. If any tribes come to surrender, hand them over to Yuanhao for proper settlement. If the Xiongnu dare to attack, follow the tactics you used against the Xianbei to make sure they never return. I'll give you six months to sweep the entire Bingzhou."

"promise!"

Lu Cheng looked at Huang Zhong again and said, "Han Sheng, you are responsible for guarding Shangdang. On the one hand, you must cooperate with Zilong to clean up the southern part of Bingzhou. On the other hand, you must always pay attention to the movements of Sili and Jizhou, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes, my lord."

"Zijian, you stay with Han Sheng and assist him."

Hua Xiong clasped his fists and bowed: "I obey your command!"

The reason for subduing Hua Xiong was to take the opportunity to gather a group of soldiers from Xiliang, and at the same time prepare for the future march into Liangzhou.

Having a guide who has a certain reputation in Xiliang will make it much easier to capture Liangzhou in the future.

After arranging the affairs of Bingzhou, Lu Cheng took Guo Jia and returned to Liaodong via Jizhou.

Ever since the 19 princes failed in their campaign against Dong Zhuo, they returned to their old nests, began recruiting soldiers and horses, expanding their power and competing for territory.

Today, many princes have risen up in the world, but there are far more than these eighteen groups. There are many more princes who did not participate in the campaign against Dong Zhuo.

Now, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was controlled by Dong Zhuo, the prestige of the Han Dynasty was further reduced, and the princes of the world no longer had too many scruples and began to annex other places at will.

Lu Cheng must also speed up his pace and return to Liaodong as soon as possible to seize the entire Youzhou and prepare for the next step of seizing Jizhou.

Lu Cheng had just returned to Liaodong when Man Chong came to report: "My lord, some time ago, Chong sent a letter to his old friend Liu Ye Liu Ziyang, inviting him to come to Liaodong to help my lord. Now, he has arrived in Liaodong."

Guo Jia, who was standing by, was delighted when he heard this: "Zi Yang is here too? That's great. Congratulations, my lord. Liu Zi Yang is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has the talent to help the world. I have met him before, and we talked about everything, including the current situation, and we always had a great time."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Since Feng Xiao and Bo Ning praise Liu Ziyang so much, I will go and meet him in person."

Liu Ye was a descendant of Liu Yan, the Prince of Fuling, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. He was a true relative of the Han Dynasty and much more reliable than Liu Bei, the descendant of the Prince of Zhongshan Jing.

Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, had more than 120 sons and countless descendants. As for Liu Bei, who was a descendant of whom was separated by who knows how many generations, his relationship with him was already too distant to be clear.

Moreover, Liu Ye was also a strategist with great strategic vision. He had extraordinary courage and foresight since childhood. He had followed the Cao family for three generations and gave the Cao family advice many times, making great contributions.

Later, after Guan Yu was defeated and fled to Jingzhou and was beheaded by the Eastern Wu, Liu Ye predicted that Liu Bei would definitely avenge his second brother and send troops to attack the Wu Kingdom, so he persuaded Cao Pi to take this opportunity to annex the Eastern Wu.

At that time, facing Liu Bei's army, Sun Quan had to mobilize the whole country to fight against it and took the initiative to submit to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei received Sun Quan's letter of surrender and the whole country celebrated. Only Liu Ye thought that Dongwu was not really surrendering and would definitely rebel later, so he suggested taking the opportunity to attack Dongwu, but Cao Pi did not accept his suggestion.

Later, after Eastern Wu defeated Shu Han, it rebelled against Cao Wei.

Cao Pi was furious and prepared to launch an attack on Wu. Liu Ye tried to persuade Cao Pi again, saying that Wu had just defeated Shu Han and the country was united, so he should not launch an attack rashly. Cao Pi still refused to listen, and ended up suffering a loss and failing to win.

It can be said that if Cao Pi had followed Liu Ye's advice, perhaps Cao Wei would have unified the world long ago.

Speaking of which, Liu Ye, although a relative of the Han royal family, was willing to work for the Cao family, which obviously showed that he was disappointed with the Han Dynasty.

However, for such a strategic and resourceful person, what later generations talked about most was the "Thunderbolt Chariot", or catapult, he proposed.

"Liu Ye of Huainan pays homage to the governor of Liaodong."

"Mr. Zi Yang, please excuse yourself. Since you are a relative of the Han Dynasty, you are an honored guest. I was not in Liaodong before, so I neglected you. I hope you will not blame me for my impoliteness."

"You responded to the call and convened an alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo. You became famous at Hulao Pass and pursued Dong Zhuo all the way. You are truly a hero of the time. Please accept Liu Ye's greetings."

"I don't deserve such a great honor. Please take a seat. Fengxiao once mentioned you to me, saying that you have the talent to assist the king. I have always admired you. Now that you have come to Liaodong, I will definitely ask for your advice from time to time."

"I don't deserve the governor's praise. Since arriving in Liaodong, Ye has visited the people and found that the people of Liaodong are rich and healthy, the elderly are well cared for, and the young are well educated. Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is difficult to see such a scene, which shows the governor's ability.

The world is now in chaos, and the Han Dynasty is in decline. In the past, Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake and started an uprising to save the people from danger. Now that the governor has the ability to stabilise the troubled times, Liu Ye, although incompetent, is willing to lend a helping hand to the governor! "

"Mr. Zi Yang is very righteous and worthy of being a relative of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of Emperor Guangwu. I am very happy to have you."

"Liu Ye greets the lord!"

Today, Lu Cheng has both strength and fame, and with the prosperity of Liaodong, he has finally made it possible for people to bow down to him and recognize him as their lord.

Moreover, the fact that Liu Ye, a relative of the Han royal family, was willing to join Lu Cheng naturally explained more problems.

"Now that Zi Yang can come to Liaodong, I have someone to share my responsibilities with."

In the original novel of the novel, Guo Jia recommended Liu Ye to Cao Cao, and Liu Ye recommended Man Chong and Lu Qian.

Now that Man Chong and Guo Jia are both in Liaodong, it is natural for Liu Ye to come.

After a conversation, Lu Cheng started talking about world affairs with Liu Ye, and Guo Jia, Man Chong and others also joined in.

They chatted until the evening before Lu Cheng asked someone to settle Liu Ye down.

After finishing all this, Lu Cheng returned home and saw Cai Zhaoji and Zhen Jiang already waiting for him.

When a husband and wife meet again after a short separation, it is natural that they will be tender and affectionate with each other.

In the winter of the first year of Chuping (190 AD), a conflict broke out between Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan personally led troops to attack Liu Yu.

Liu Yu did not have many soldiers available, and was not good at military affairs, so he was defeated repeatedly by Gongsun Zan, and finally his capital Ji County was captured by Gongsun Zan.

In order to maintain the dignity of the Han royal family, Liu Yu did not choose to escape, nor did he surrender to Gongsun Zan, and was eventually beheaded by Gongsun Zan.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan occupied Ji County, looted the treasury, and obtained money and food supplies to recruit soldiers.

After Lu Cheng received the battle report from Ji County, he immediately ordered his troops to attack Gongsun Zan...
