Fu Xie looked at Li Hong carefully and said with a smile: "This time I came to Handan, because Lord Liu missed you very much and must come and have a look, and the other was to announce the imperial edict on behalf of Your Majesty."

Li Hong looked at Liu Yu in surprise. Liu Yu hurriedly explained: "We received the imperial edict from Your Majesty in Yingtao the day before yesterday, so we got up immediately and rushed to Handan day and night. Last time, because several adults from Youzhou wrote letters to show their merits for you, alarmed Your Majesty, so Your Majesty has always paid attention to you. This time, Lord Guo, the Muslim of Yizhou and Lord Feng of Julu County were killed in the battle with the ant thief, and the entire Jizhou army was wiped out. This incident alarmed the court and the country..."

Fu Xie saw that Liu Yu was going to talk in detail in a long time, and quickly interrupted Liu Yu's words, "The lieutenant led the Youzhou Iron Cavalry to turn the tide in the battle of Yingtao. He killed the ant thief leader Zhang Niujiao in the melee, and rescued Yingtao City and Jizhou in danger. He made outstanding achievements." Fu Xie exclaimed: "Your Majesty is in the court. I heard that the people and the iron cavalry show their power and strive to ensure that Jizhou is not lost. Long Yan is very happy and personally issued an order to reward all the soldiers of the people and the iron cavalry army."

Li Hong and Xian Yufu immediately exchanged a look of surprise. This time, His Majesty finally got mercy and wanted to reward something.

"The last time Your Majesty rewards you as a captain, it is indeed too light. It is not a big deal for everyone to speak up for you. So this time Your Majesty is promoted to General of the General of the Pinghu." Liu Yu said with a smile.

A hint of envy flashed across Xian Yufu's face. Although Li Hong knew that General Zhonglang was a good official, he felt a little confused when he heard it with the word "是".

Fu Xie saw it and immediately said, "Pinglu Zhonglang General is a miscellaneous general with a salary of 2,000 s. Although the salary is the same as the salary of the captain of the siege, the salary is much higher than that of the master Liu and me. Although Lord Liu and I can go to court to discuss politics, we look very glorious, but in fact we are very poor. We are just an official with a salary of 600 s. It is almost the same as the military officer in your army."

Liu Yu laughed loudly, pointing at Fu Xie and said, "Brother, I've been talking about poverty again. People, you have been in the army for less than two years. Although you have experienced many wars and have outstanding military achievements, your speed of promotion has become a strange story in my dynasty. Logically, you can indeed reward you with such great military achievements, but some things must be done according to the rules, and don't just cause jealousy and cause endless trouble. The officialdom is not like a battlefield, it is very despicable and dirty."

Fu Xie said: "Mr. Liu is right. This "action" is just a transition, so there is no need to pay much attention to it." Fu Xie smiled indifferently, "The situation in Jizhou has not been decided, and the Lord must fight for another time, so Your Majesty specially gave you a false festival. (Ji, which is a certificate given by the emperor to senior officials to exercise their power. It is a bamboo pole about 180 cm long, with a three-fold flag made of yak tail on the handle. It is a sign of increasing the power of the general, that is, to grant the general and the president of the army. Fake, the original intention is to borrow, which means to grant. Fake festival, have the right to kill anyone who violates the military order.) All the county and state soldiers of Jizhou are commanded by you. Those who disobey the military order can be killed."

"Men, the situation in Zhao State is gradually stabilizing. If you can go north to Changshan before this spring, that is, April, to suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou and quell the rebellion, then you will be the best." Liu Yu touched his beard and said with a serious expression, "This month, the new governor of Jizhou and the prefect of Julu County, Zhao State will take office one after another. After you hand over the government affairs, it is better to lead your troops north as soon as possible."

"The official understands." Li Hong replied respectfully.

"You are now the General of the Central Army. Although you are the lowest among the Generals of the Central Army, even smaller than the Chief Army, such as the Sili School Captain, the City Gate School Captain, and the Huwuwan School Captain, you are still a Chief Army Captain, and have the real power to lead troops to conquer the troops, which is far more glorious than those Chief Army Captains. So when you see us lower-level Beijing officials and local prefects, don't call yourself a subordinate, that's a joke." Liu Yu immediately clapped his hands and leaned into his ear and whispered. Li Hong's face turned red immediately.

"The last time I sent someone to Handan, didn't you tell us to set off and return to Luoyang immediately? Why is it stuck until now?" Xian Yufu saw Liu Yu was talking to Li Hong, afraid of neglecting Fu Xie, and asked in a low voice.

Fu Xie sighed.

"I can't get away even if I want to." Fu Xie said slowly, "Although the leader of the ant thief Zhang Niujiao is dead, his son Zhang Yan seems to be even more powerful. After Pan Feng, the commander of Julu County, led his troops to occupy Gaoyi, he was greedy for me and made a rash progress, leading his troops to take the initiative to attack and prepare to occupy Yuanshi City. As a result, he was ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army on the way, and the entire army was completely destroyed. Panshi City broke through desperately, and finally escaped with only more than 100 people. After receiving the news, Lord Liu immediately rushed to Gaoyi with his troops, and joined forces with Panshi City to kill again."

Xian Yufu immediately asked, "Has Lord Liu seized Yuanshi City?"

Fu Xie nodded and continued, "The two sides fought for three or four days, and the battle was very fierce. The troops of Qingzhou Pingyuan County were very strong, and their military officer Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were even more powerful. When this man attacked the city, he led the way, personally served as a arrow and stone, and shouted fiercely, and was unstoppable. After that, the ant thief could not resist, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and gave up the city. Lord Liu was hanged in Jizhou, stranded in Yuanshi City, and was reluctant to set off to Luoyang. I had no choice but to wait for him in Yantao, so our itinerary has been delayed until now."

"Who is also from the northern border, and from Zhuo County, Youzhou." After Liu Yu and Li Hong said a few private words, they happened to hear Fu Xie talk about Liu Bei and quickly added, "I asked him carefully. He was actually the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty. I remember that Liu Zhen, the son of Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty, was named Luchengting Marquis of Zhuo County about the sixth year of Yuanshou, which was 70 years ago. Later, because the ancestral temple sacrifices, the title of marquis was abolished because the gifts used for sacrifices were not in accordance with the regulations, and the family fell from then on. Liu Xuande was Liu Zhen's great-grandson. He was still my nephew in terms of genealogy."

Fu Xie asked in surprise: "Why haven't you heard it?"

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Aren't I talking about this? Liu Xuande's grandfather and father both served as officials in prefectures and counties. He lost his father at a young age and lived on selling shoes and weaving mats with his mother. His family was poor. At the age of fifteen, his mother begged his relative Liu Yuanqi, hoping that he could help Xuande go out to study. Brother Yuanqi is a great tycoon, who is generous and likes Xuande very much, so he naturally agreed. So he sent him to the great scholar Lu Zhi to study. He heard that he and Gongsun Zan were classmates and friends. This time he captured Yuanshi City, he made the greatest contribution. I see that this son is taciturn, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and is steady and generous, and he does not show his emotions. He leads the way when fighting, is brave and fearless, and is very friendly to his subordinates. As long as he is given a chance in the future, he is probably not a thing in the pool."

"Sir, I value him so much that I should recruit him into the governor's mansion when I was in Youzhou." Xian Yufu said.

Liu Yu sighed regretfully and said, "The first time I went to Zhuo County, Liu Yuanqi recommended it to me. I was too busy at that time and didn't care, so I forgot about it later. Last year, the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou rose again. After Zhang Niujiao occupied Zhongshan Kingdom, Xuande summoned Yi soldiers in the village and prepared to go south to Jizhou to help the official army suppress the bandits. At that time, Zhang Shiping, the great merchant of Zhongshan, Su Shuang fled to Zhuocheng with his family and his subordinates. They met Xuande through Liu Yuanqi's introduction. Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang saw that Xuande was not an ordinary person, so he funded his daughter and hundreds of war horses. Xuande used this money to form a five hundred rebel army."

"Sir, why didn't I meet him in Zhuocheng when Zhang Niujiao attacked Zhuo County?" Xian Yufu asked strangely.

"When I resigned from my illness and passed by Zhuo County, Liu Yuanqi went to the inn to see me and mentioned the matter of Xuande and the rebel army again. At that time, Zhang Niujiao showed no sign of attacking Youzhou, and Jizhou was fighting fiercely, so Xuande wanted to lead the rebel army south. Liu Yuanqi asked me to write a letter of recommendation to Xuande to prevent Xuande from leading the rebel army to Jizhou. However, I was not very familiar with several prefectures and counties in Jizhou, so I recommended him to Liu Ziping, Liu of Pingyuan County in Qingzhou. Pingyuan County is a large county with a population of one million, and is adjacent to Jizhou. He should have the opportunity to participate in the clearance of the Yellow Turban Army. He had already gone south to Pingyuan County before Zhang Niujiao attacked Youzhou, so you could not meet him." Liu Yu explained, "It was also very surprising to meet him this time. He came to thank me specifically, and I realized that it was him who was the first to attack the city tower, which was very unexpected."

"Sir, I praise Liu Xuande so much. He must be a very capable person. After I lead my troops north, I must meet him." Li Hong said with a smile.

"That's the best." Liu Yu said, "Son people, if you are less than 20 years old and don't even have a beard on your face, you have already been appointed as the General of the Central Army. This is very rare in my Han Dynasty. Although your martial arts and talents are rare in the world, your luck and opportunities are even rare in the world. So you must cherish all this, share your worries more for Your Majesty, be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and be more for the people of the world."

Li Hong knelt down in emotion and said, "I must remember the teachings of my elders and serve the country to the death."

"Get up, get up..." Liu Yu pulled him up and said with a smile: "You are kind and simple, and you will definitely be able to say what you say. I believe you. After you go north, you should promote Xuande more. Compared with you, he is older than you, and his luck and martial arts are not as good as you, but his knowledge is higher than you, his family background is better than you, and many places are better than you, so you have to do your best to help him, which can be regarded as recommending a talent for the Han Dynasty. Do you know?"

"Don't worry, sir, I must keep it in mind." Li Hong said respectfully.

"Also, this is your first holiday to lead troops and be in charge of military affairs in Jizhou. You should pay attention to establishing good relations with the new governor of Jizhou and the prefects of various prefectures and counties in various places. You should be more humble and elegant. Do you know?" Liu Yu reminded him tirelessly, "Wear your hair crown and don't allow you to disguise your hair."

Li Hong felt Liu Yu's love for him, and his nose felt sore and tears almost fell.

"Also, the imperial court abolished the Jizhou Governor and changed the Muslim Guard to the Governor this time, which is to keep you from being bound by the throne, let go of your hands and feet, and pacify the Yellow Turban Army as fast as possible. So you must understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, do you know?"

Li Hong nodded repeatedly.

"There is Yu Xing, don't go back to the Youzhou Governor's Mansion for the time being. Stay with the people around me and watch him for me and don't let him make any mistakes. After I return to Luoyang, I will immediately report to Emperor Ming to move you to the lieutenant. With your contribution, you should have been promoted long ago. You two are together, our Iron Cavalry Army in Youzhou can be invincible in the world."

Xian Yufu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
