Chapter 23 Liu Yan's recommendation

The current gate of Guangzong City is open. Zhang Fei brought people into Guangzong City, divided some people, confiscated the weapons of the Yellow Turban Army, and seized these people. He was sick and blocked the warehouses in the city. Finally, when everything was ready, he asked someone to notify Liu Bin to enter the city. Liu Bin calmed down the negative pressure of Guangzong City, and Zhang Fei brought the surrendered generals of the Yellow Turban Army, Qu Shuai, to pay a visit to Liu Bin. Liu Bin sat there and took a look, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "You can surrender, it is also your knowledge of the current affairs. I hope you will still be so aware of the current affairs in the future. If you follow me well, I will still give you a chance to show off."

After Liu Bin said that, these people quickly said respectfully: "I will definitely follow the Marquis. I hope the Marquis can include it."

Liu Bin nodded and said, "Speak your names and let me listen."

After hearing this, these people started to have the name of the bun machine. Liu Bin only had a rough impression of the people among them. Only two people had heard of them. One of them was about the follower Zhou Cang, and the other was Pei Yuanshao who died by Zhao Yun snatched him. Liu Bin was a little interested when he heard it. He nodded slightly. Pei Yuanshao was nothing. Anyway, this guy was just a second-rate character, so Zhao Yun killed him. Zhou Cang was different. It has been decades since he followed the About. The force is fine, and he is also loyal. He is indeed a good general. However, he did not point it out on the spot. Zhou Cang may have some opinions on him now. Moreover, he has not experienced the training yet, and is not suitable to follow him.

Liu Bin received these people and asked Zhang Fei to take them down. He was going to take them back to Youzhou directly. Guangzong City held the Yellow Turban Army for many years, with countless gold, silver and treasures. Liu Bin didn't want to give up these things and hand them over to the court. It would be better to transport these things back to Youzhou when the court had no shadows coming. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Uprising has basically ended, and the power of Zhang Mancheng in the south was also defeated by Huangpuhao and the others. Now it is time to reward meritoriously. After the Yellow Turban Uprising was pacified, the court probably would have to re-enforce it.

Shizhou's pastoral system is in place. He must take the position of Youzhou pastoral. The preparations for these years have been here. After Liu Bin settled everything in Gao Heng, Guangzong City, he asked Zhang Fei and the others to take the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army and the treasures plundered from the Yellow Turban Army. He left only a few hundred people to guard him, and the others were the imperial army. He was okay in command of them during the war, but he had no right to mobilize them. So he kept these people. He himself had to go to the capital to meet the saint and wait for the reward. His efforts this time cannot be wasted.

Liu Bin wrote the news about Guangzongcheng into a memorial and submitted it to the court. He was in Guangzongcheng and other places to the court's will. As for the Han army, Liu Bin was ready to let them pack everything and be ready to go at any time. Liu Bin received the news that Huangpuhao and others were preparing to return to the court within a few days in Guangzongcheng, and the decree given to him by the court was already on the way. However, before that, Zhang Fei and the others brought their people back to Youzhou, and Liu Yan saw that Liu Bin made such a great contribution, and

He had such feelings for Youzhou, so he wrote a letter to him. The content in his heart was very simple, that is, he had suggested to the court to re-implement the provincial and pastoral system, so that the bank would send important officials to the emperor to guard the emperor's pastor, so that the Yellow Turban Rebellion could be avoided. Moreover, Liu Yan recommended himself as the governor of Yizhou, and he also recommended Liu Bin as the governor of Youzhou. In his heart, Liu Yan told Liu Bin to prepare earlier and establish good relationships in Luoyang. It is important to make this happen.

After receiving this letter, Liu Bin couldn't help but smile and sighed that the troubled times finally came. In the letter, Liu Yan said that the state-patriarch system was to prevent the Yellow Turban Uprising from happening again. However, after the implementation of the state-patriarch system, the effect was not like this. The so-called state-patriarch is the highest political and military chief of a state, which is different from the previous governors. Because the governor only has the power to supervise the prefect and does not have the right to appoint, it is nominally the same as the prefect. But the prefect is different. They are the essential superiors of the prefect. After the implementation of the state-patriarch system, things similar to the Yellow Turban Uprising did not happen on a large scale again, but the state

Mu's power was too great, which weakened the central government's control over the local area, greatly strengthened the power of the princes. It also became an important factor in the world's disputes. Moreover, the reason why Liu Yan suggested that the court should practice the state patriarch system was not for the benefit of the court, but he was for himself. He originally wanted to recommend himself as the governor of Youzhou, but later he heard that a state had the aura of an emperor, so he recommended himself as the governor of Yizhou. In history, after Liu Yan became the governor of Yizhou, he used the reason for the rice thieves in Hanzhong (that is, Zhang Lu's Five Dogs of Rice Sect, in fact, Zhang Lu was under the jurisdiction of Liu Yan at the beginning.) He cut off the practice of a state and the court, and no longer offered to the court, and became a local emperor in a state.

This time, the reason why he recommended Liu Bin as the governor of Youzhou was that Liu Bin's achievements were enough to guard the side, and the second was that Emperor Ling of Han liked Liu Bin so much, so he must have a big reward this time. He just made a favor with Liu Bin. Third, in order to make friends with Liu Bin, he was guarding Liu Bin. After all, the relationship between Liu Bin and him was also good for him. Liu Bin could see this. So he just smiled. He had tried his best to make friends with Liu Yan in the past, for this moment. Now this moment has finally arrived, and his years of hard work has not been in vain. After Liu Yan left, Youzhou would be his own world. He was about to take the position of Youzhou Mu, so he sent someone to Luoyang to inform people in Luoyang to take the lead in bribing Zhang Rang, and let him say some good things to the emperor to ensure that everything is worry-free.

Liu Bin stayed in Guangzong for a few more days and received the imperial edict from the court to let him go to Beijing to recuperate his post. Liu Bin had already prepared everything. As soon as he received the imperial edict, he immediately took action and ordered the army to set sail and advance towards Luoyang. Fortunately, Guangzong was not too far from Luoyang. After half a month of march, the group finally arrived in Luoyang. After arriving in Luoyang, these troops returned to build their own troops. These people were originally the elites of the imperial southern army, but now they have returned, so they will naturally return to the camp. Liu Bin looked at the weather and it was already afternoon, and now he is not going to the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor had a good time, so he returned to his residence in Luoyang, preparing to rest for one night, and would go to court to meet the saint early tomorrow morning. However, in the evening, Cai Yong and the Qingliu faction invited Liu Bin to the banquet again. They wanted to observe Liu Bin's attitude through this banquet to see if he was still standing on the side of Qingliu. After all, Liu Bin has made too much contribution this time. The three thief leaders of the Yellow Turban thief were killed by him, so the court must reward him well. In the future, Liu Bin may be the same as their ministers, so it would be better to inquire first.

Of course, Liu Bin would not let these people see his ambitions, so he still maintained a respectful attitude towards these people, which made these people feel relieved. After going back tonight, Liu Bin quietly entered Zhang Rang's house and discussed with Zhang Rang to ensure that his position as the governor of Youzhou was foolproof. After all this, Liu Bin finally went back to rest with peace of mind. This period of time of struggle did make him very tired. Now he can finally achieve success and fame. Of course, he is very happy, but Liu Bin is happy and can sleep with peace of mind. Some people are very unhappy and cannot sleep with peace of mind.
