Although the family is hateful.

But if the world wants to function normally, it really won't be possible without the aristocratic family.

Liu Hong himself knows this very well...

If not, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now.

What Liu Hong wants is a prosperous world, not a chaotic and ruined world.

Although he believed in Qin Yu's ability.

But he believes more.

If Qin Yu is directly transferred back to him from Lingling County in a short period of time to serve.

The conflict between Qin Yu and the aristocratic family, and between him and the aristocratic family, will definitely become irreconcilable immediately, and then completely break out.

Until now.

Liu Hong is very satisfied with his ability to maintain his family.

At least you see.

When I was emperor, those aristocratic families didn't cause me much trouble.

Instead, I have been suppressing those scholars.

Doesn’t this show my ability?

Zhao Zhong naturally didn't know what the emperor, who seemed not to have such profound thoughts on the surface, was thinking in his mind.

He didn't know that what Liu Hong just said to him was just an expectation hidden in his heart.

For Liu Hong.

Qin Yu's development in Lingling County was indeed his move.

He gave Qin Yu enough rights.

I just wanted to see if Qin Yu, a saint, could develop a path that would allow him to completely get rid of his family.

Now it looks like the progress is going well.

But after all, it’s only been two years.

Dealing with aristocratic families is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Liu Hong knows this very well.

He has decided to spend his whole life fighting against the family.

He is only thirty-three this year, and his life is still long for him!

He still has enough time to wait for Qin Yu's good news.

The fastest is seven or eight years, and the slowest is ten or twenty years.

He can afford to wait!

"By the way, how is the situation of the Xiyuan Army recently?"

Liu Hong put his thoughts back from missing Qin Yu before.

Zhao Zhong also quickly turned his attention back and responded: "Your Majesty, the Xiyuan Army has achieved initial results, but the number of soldiers has not yet reached the goal set by Your Majesty."

Liu Hong nodded, he was not surprised by this kind of thing.

He had already had this expectation when the Xiyuan Army itself was founded.

Moreover, when he founded the Xiyuan Army, Liu Hong never thought about moving the Northern and Southern armies.

That kind of approach of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall is meaningless.

What he wants is an army that he has cultivated entirely by himself.

The existence of this army will be a trump card in his hand in the future.

And this trump card will be handed over to Qin Yu for safekeeping at the appropriate time.

When the time comes, if Qin Yu wants to face the forces of those aristocratic families, he will suddenly take out this trump card and stand behind Qin Yu.

Will it surprise those aristocratic families?

Will Qin Yu be surprised?

How profound will his approach be in the history books of later generations?

Thinking of these different reactions made Liu Hong feel indescribably comfortable.

Therefore.

Most of the eight lieutenants he appointed in Xiyuan had nothing to do with Qin Yu and had no conflicts of interest.

Like Yuan Shao, the Yuan family still has too much influence among scholars.

Giving him a place is considered as comfort.

Similarly, if Yuan Shao is allowed to follow Qin Yu, maybe Qin Yu can use his strong charm to completely influence Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao completely surrenders to Qin Yu, is he afraid that he will not be able to solve the Yuan family in the future?

Doesn’t that mean he becomes one of his own directly?

Another example is Cao Cao.

In Liu Hong's view.

Cao Cao has known Qin Yu from the beginning, and Cao Cao watched with his own eyes step by step from the hostility between him and Qin Yu to the end when he became Qin Yu's licking dog.

Cao Cao's transformation well proves that Qin Yu's charm and strength are too strong.

This can only be said that Liu Hong knows human nature very well and is very accurate in recognizing people!

As one of Cao Cao's own men, he must be given the position of captain.

As for Jian Shuo, he is the Xiao Huangmen who replaced him in the past, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

It is a very effective assistant.

With him here, at least he can be on par with Na He Jin in terms of force.

He is considered a town person.

He is completely accumulating trump cards for the future showdown with those aristocratic families.

anyway.

He Jin's current power is indeed a bit too great.

It was so big that Liu Hong felt a little uncomfortable.

It was Liu Hong's own idea to increase his power.

He wanted to use people like He Jin to check and balance the power of those aristocratic families.

But I didn't expect it.

In the beginning, He Jin was indeed following his strategic vision.

But as time goes by.

He Jin's status attracted more and more scholars to seek refuge with him.

In addition, he owns the distribution channels for the divine water sent by Qin Yu.

This also caused those aristocratic families to show an unusual attitude towards him.

I thought that what He Jin represented, even if it was not his own power, should still be a power belonging to the royal family.

The result looks like now.

He Jin now has a vague feeling that he will become the leader of the family.

This kind of thing is something Liu Hong cannot accept from the bottom of his heart.

That's why he wanted to set up the Xiyuan Army, dilute the military power, and then slowly take it back from He Jin's hands.

Wait until your uncle, your uncle, realizes your mistake.

Give him a little more military power.

After all, we are one family, one family.

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Since the number of soldiers is not enough, let them go to various places to recruit soldiers and recruit strong ones. They must increase the strength of the Xiyuan Army."

Zhao Zhong responded immediately.

The order was immediately passed on.

Cao Cao, Bao Hong and others were ordered to go to various places to recruit troops.

Time flies.

Another three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
