Zhang Yang finally chose to bow his head.

All five thousand personal soldiers were stationed in the camp outside the city, but he was deeply trapped in Luoyang. The Hanoi base camp was uprooted again, and there was no reinforcement in the court. Even if he wanted to fight to the death, he had no chance of winning.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

He expressed his attitude in two things:

First, directly give up his five thousand elite soldiers and hand them all over to the General's Mansion of Cheqi and Cavalry;

Second, the above statement dismissed General Cavalry's seal and ribbon, and requested the court to reward money and gardens, and prepare to retire (retirement).

Zhang Yang's actions also gave him a glimmer of hope. At least Chen Fei had no reason to kill him after seeing him surrender.

So Chen Fei submitted a memorial to the court, claiming that Zhang Yang was old and strong, and that resigning early was the loss of the court. He hoped that he could remain in the court and recommended him to serve as the young mansion.

The Shaofu, also known as the nine ministers who specialize in managing money and life for the emperor, originally had both financial power and huge subordinates. Even the Shangshutai was a nominal branch of the Shaofu, but... there is no emperor now!

So Zhang Yang happily accepted the position.

It is advisable to be buried on the fifteenth day of July, on the day of Jiayin.

The 24th Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the twelfth Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xie was officially buried in the imperial tomb east of Luoyang City.

It only took twenty-four days from the start of construction to the completion of construction of this imperial tomb. Although it used tens of thousands of manpower, it still seemed particularly simple compared to the tombs of the ancestors.

Fortunately, the imperial tombs of both the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty were dug up by Dong Zhuo a few years ago, so the imperial tomb of Liu Xie was naturally the one with the highest specifications...

Since the ministers and ministers lost all their losses, Situ and Dahonglu, who were responsible for the etiquette, had to be kept simple, and the attending officials seemed even rare. Fortunately, Chen Fei arranged a large number of soldiers to support the scene for the late emperor.

Shangshu Ling Chen Ji read out the imperial book in tears. He first praised Liu Xie for his wise and wise nature, but was actually a wise ruler. Then he denounced Yuan Shao's crimes and would definitely kill him. Because the previous manifesto was overwhelmed by Kong Rong, Chen Ji also tried his best to write this article, racked his brains and revised it repeatedly before taking it out. After reading it, all the listeners beat their chests and stamped their feet, crying and robbing the earth.

Several personal officials who served Liu Xie actually cried and fainted on the spot, which was really touching.

Guo Jia, who had just recovered from a serious illness, immediately recorded the names of these loyal ministers and prepared to recommend them to guard the tomb of the late emperor after the funeral, and to accompany the late emperor forever.

Seeing Liu Xie's coffin disappearing from the tomb pit, Chen Fei couldn't help but close his eyes.

[Anyway... no matter how hard you struggle, your life will not be happy in the next few decades.]

He wanted to comfort himself like this, but found that he could not help but burst into tears.

【Fortunately...it's just this time.】

-

The day after Liu Xie was buried, the Han Dynasty held its first small dynasty meeting.

This was a court meeting with no emperor, no three dukes, and only one Nine Ministers (Zhang Yang, Shaofu), and the number of participants was only a pitiful twenty.

As the highest-ranking general of chariots and cavalry, Chen Fei's shoulders are very heavy. Fortunately, there are three think tanks, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Xu Shu, who also took the initiative to provide help and quickly sorted out the current four major tasks.

"First, it is to support the new emperor. This matter has been concluded before. General Xuanwei Jia Xu was the main envoy, General Wei Dong Cheng, and Shangshu Ling Chen Ji were the deputy envoys. They will first evaluate the princes and kings in various places and choose the best to ascend the throne."

After a while of discussion, Chen Fei made a clear arrangement one by one:

"Secondly, Yuan Shao planned to rebel and was not allowed to be punished. Chen Lingjun has issued a large number of manifestos and called on the prefectures to fight against the thieves. This matter cannot be delayed. Yuan Shao was prestigious and powerful, and the war might have lasted. Therefore, several counties and states close to Jizhou need to carefully select officials. Hanoi County has just been newly attached, and Dong Zhao is temporarily appointed as the county magistrate, and Xu Huang is promoted to the Captain of the Polu to take charge of the military affairs of Henei."

He fulfilled his previous promise to Xu Huang, and the numbers on Xu Huang's head finally completely exploded.

"Dongjun is also a new affiliated position and is the most cutting-edge position. It is bound to face the greatest pressure. The commander of Hengye, Wang Chong, Chief Commander Gao Shun, and Dian Wei divided their troops to guard the troops. It is allowed to recruit troops on the spot. It is important not to let Yuan Shao advance his troops to the area south of the Yellow River."

Wang Chong (6,000) and Gao Shun (2,000) were originally stationed in Jiyin County, while Dian Wei (4,000) were stationed in Chenliu, his hometown. The three troops were more than 12,000 people, plus the original soldiers and horses of Dongjun, the total number of people exceeded 20,000, and they were all arranged along the Yellow River, which sent a signal to Yuan Shao to start a war!

Xu Huang, with 2,500 troops from his headquarters, 5,000 elite troops from Zhang Yang handed over to him by Chen Fei, and the remaining troops from Hanoi, could also form an army of nearly 10,000 people, echoing the friendly forces of Dongjun, and jointly creating a deterrent to Jizhou.

Chen Fei transferred Yuan Zhong, the captain of Shenji who had just returned from Yangzhou, to Jiyin, thus forming the second echelon, namely Henan (Yang Zhi, Chen Dao), Chen Liu (Yang Ping), Jiyin (Yuan Huan, Yuan Zhong), Dongping (Chen Qun), Shanyang (Zheng Fan), and the Taishan (Zhang Liao), and the total force of the country exceeded 30,000.

As for the third echelon, it includes Yingchuan (Chu Liang, Geng Qiang), Chen (Huangfu Li), Liang (Zhang Chao), Runan (Liang Feng), Ruyin (Zhu Hao), Pei (Shu Shao) and other counties. The reserves of troops are relatively weak, but the reserves of food and grass are relatively sufficient. As long as Zhu Yan suspends the war in Yangzhou, the front lines along the Yellow River can obtain a steady stream of materials.

This involves the third issue.

Chen Fei paused for a moment:

"Third, it is mid-July now, and the autumn harvest is approaching. All regions urgently need young and middle-aged laborers to harvest grain, so it is not appropriate to recruit soldiers on a large scale for the time being. Instead, our army needs to follow the practice of previous years, generals and officials to lead soldiers to help the people rush to harvest autumn grain. After the grain and grain enter the warehouse in late August, we will plan. However, the matter in Hebei is mainly defense and will not force an attack for the time being."

In the past six months, his territory expanded a little too quickly: first supported the famine in Henan, and then took over the entire Yanzhou. Before Cao Cao withdrew from Yanzhou, he almost swept the granaries from all over the country, causing him to transport a large amount of grain from Yuzhou. Finally, he launched a large-scale war of up to 50,000 people in Yangzhou. The consumption of food and grass was amazing. If the war started in Jizhou at this time, the large army would likely fall into the dilemma of shortage of food after the winter!

He spoke very seriously, but Jia Xu laughed instead:

"To be honest, the military farming achievements of the counties in Yuzhou are really beyond imagination. If it weren't for these food support, I can only suggest that you shrink your troops and give up Hanoi and Dongjun north of the Yellow River."

Chen Fei smiled quite complacently.

Even if he doesn't know anything, he still knows the important role of food in a regime. Therefore, whenever he occupys a new county, he will immediately grasp the population and arable land, vigorously resettle refugees, and promote military farming on a large scale to ensure the supply of food.

Fortunately, Yingchuan, Runan and Chen countries are both traditional agricultural counties with a population of more than one million. In addition, Chen Fei lost several local snake families and confiscated a considerable amount of money, grain and livestock, so that he could barely support such a large-scale four-sided expansion.

Since he talked about farming, Chen Fei asked casually:

"Speaking of this, how are the military farming in Henan counties doing this year?"

Yin Yangyuan, Henan, glanced at Ren Jun, the military farmer sitting behind him, and the latter bowed and replied:

"Reported to Junhou, the counties around Luoyang delayed cultivation last year, and Yingchuan sent food to survive the cold winter. In the summer harvest, only the southeast Zhongmu, Xinzheng, Mi, Jing, Liang and other counties received a little, and the government collected only more than 100,000 stones of land.

Since Junhou restored Henan, Ren was ordered to supervise the farming work. The people of various counties have resumed farming and resettled more than 5,000 refugees and stationed around Luoyang. A rough calculation shows that there are at least 2.2 million mu of fertile land in Henan. According to the harvest of ordinary years, after the autumn harvest, the government can collect one million stones of grain, which is enough to support the current army of the court."

He listed the data before and after Chen Fei entered Henan, and immediately formed a sharp contrast, with a difference of nearly ten times, which was enough to reflect the benevolent political love for the general of the chariot and cavalry!

Chen Fei was very satisfied with his report:

"Very good. If all counties have achieved such results, why should I worry that the people in the world cannot have enough food and clothing? Boda, it took you less than a year to basically restore Henan's agriculture, and it is a reward."

After a moment of thinking, he threw out a new official position:

"I promoted you to the military field lieutenant, and will be in charge of military field, water conservancy, and road affairs in various counties. The official rank is 2,000 stones."

It is said that it is the Sili county, which is actually two counties in Henan and Hanoi, but its position has been tangible. Ren Jun also went from being a 200-square-square-ranking official in Zhongmu County with a mere 200-square-quare-ranking official in just nine months. Such promotion speed is probably only comparable to Chen Fei himself!

Ren Jun was indeed grateful, and the friendship on his forehead rushed to the highest point, and he fell to his knees without saying a word:

"Ren Jun thanks you! I wish you were so heartless that I could repay you for your kindness!"

Chen Fei accepted his gift and even said:

"If this marquis is not authorized, he will definitely be awarded a title for you."

Many officials and generals, including Ren Jun, were shocked, and only people with IQ online such as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu could understand.

Chen Ji's IQ is also not low, and he immediately understood what Chen Fei meant:

"In the past, when Emperor Gaozu of Han pacified the world and rewarded merits, Xiao He was the first meritorious official because no matter when, food and grass were always the most important thing. If the rear was unstable and the food and grass were not sufficient, the soldiers in the front would naturally collapse, and the people in the world would naturally be in chaos. The capital was in chaos for several years and the people were displaced. Now they can stabilize quickly. Although the power of the general of the chariot and cavalry, Yang Fujun, Ren Jianwei and other officials also made great efforts. Chen Cheqi rewarded this to show that although he valued military merits now, as long as he worked hard, he could get promotion and rewards, whether it was military farming, encouragement, or governing the people."

Everyone showed a sudden enlightenment.

Chen Fei praised his interpretation:

"Chen Lingjun is indeed a mature plan for the country."

Chen Ji quickly gave in modesty:

"The General of the Cheqi and Cavalry praised it. Only those who are so wise and wise, who are so knowledgeable and capable of appointing officials and generals like the lieutenant can stand out and make the best use of the people."

Chen Fei continued with a smile:

"Fourth, when the emperor collapsed, all the officials were killed by the rioters such as Li Jue and Guo Si, and then they were killed by Yuan Shao, which led to the danger of today's court being in name only. Although I intend to rebuild the order of the court, I suffer from the lack of virtuousness and goodness. Moreover, the officials, nobles and generals are important officials of the court, and they are not competent for those who are both morally and capable. Considering that if it is not decided today, it is better to be simple and quick in everything, otherwise delaying will only delay major events, so..."

He slowed down a little:
Chapter completed!
