The next day, Tian Yu went out of the city in person to visit Cao Liang, and he brought shocking news.

Tian Yu said that he had reported the situation of the battle of Bingzhou to the court and submitted his resignation to the court, requesting to resign as governor of Bingzhou and return to his hometown. At the same time, Tian Yu proposed to the court that Cao Lianglai should take over his position as governor of Bingzhou. .

"Since the governor of Bingzhou, the governor of Tian, ​​has made clear plans and remarkable achievements. Even when the Xiongnu rebellion was serious, he was still able to hold on to Jinyang and protect the people. If the governor of Bingzhou had not been the governor of Bingzhou, life would have been ruined. The people are in dire straits. Now that Bingzhou has been restored, it is a time when everything is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. If Tian Governor resigns like this, he is afraid of hurting the feelings of the elders of Bingzhou." Cao Liang persisted.

Although Tian Yu was in a very passive situation during the Xiongnu rebellion, he stubbornly held on to Jinyang and protected hundreds of thousands of people in Bingzhou. In this sense, Tian Yu still has merit.

Moreover, Tian Yu has guarded Northern Xinjiang for many years and is familiar with the local customs and customs. After the disaster in Bingzhou, it will take a lot of effort to rebuild. If Tian Yu can stay in office and preside over the overall situation of Bingzhou, it will also be of great benefit to the reconstruction of Bingzhou. Yes, so Cao Liang tried his best to retain him.

Tian Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "General Cao, don't slap me in the face again. This time the Xiongnu rebelled, Tian, ​​as the governor, was unable to eliminate the chaos. He was unable to manage his affairs in his position, which was disrespectful to the imperial court. Oh, my hope. If an old man is over seventy and takes the position, it is like walking at night without stopping the bells. He is a sinner. General Cao is young and youthful, he is resolute and broad-minded, and has talents in the world. If he is the governor, it will be a blessing to the people of Bingzhou. also."

Tian Yu has made up his mind to leave, and no matter how Cao Liang tries to persuade him to stay, he can't change his mind.

In fact, Tian Yu's heart was very tormented by the disaster of Bingzhou. As the governor of Bingzhou, the land under his rule was ravaged by the iron hoofs of the Huns, but he did nothing and could only be trapped in Jinyang City. This made it difficult for him who once guarded northern Xinjiang. Tian Yu, who was as stable as a mountain, felt deeply frustrated.

Are you really old?

When he took office in Bingzhou, although Tian Yu had some excuses, deep down in his heart, he still had a sense of integrity and disobedience to his elders. This appointment as the governor of Bingzhou was probably his last foreign appointment. Tian Yu hoped that In the Bingzhou post, you can achieve perfection and draw a successful conclusion to your life experience.

But this sudden Xiongnu rebellion completely shattered his dream and ended his official career in the most embarrassing way. Although Tian Yu was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do so.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old. Tian Yu originally refused to accept the old, but seeing Cao Liang's performance in Bingzhou really made him feel ashamed.

Cao Liang led a force of ten thousand people to the north to reinforce Bingzhou. He made great progress along the way and defeated the four major Xiongnu lairs. In the battle of Dongguan, he repelled the main force of the Xiongnu and solved the siege of Jinyang. In this way, he defeated Jinyang with a small number of troops. The record of winning against many and defeating the strong with the weak is simply incredible.

On the other hand, Tian Yu had nearly 20,000 troops, but he retreated again and again, losing most of the cities in the three Xinxing counties of Xihe, Taiyuan. In the end, he could only be trapped in the isolated city of Jinyang. If Cao Liang hadn't led his troops to rescue, Tian Yu would have been defeated. I don't know how long I can hold on.

This is the difference between a general and a general. Compared with Cao Liang, Tian Yu really feels that he is already in his twilight years. If he doesn't retreat now, when will he wait?

And Tian Yu also believes that under Cao Liang's leadership, Bingzhou will only become stronger and better.

Finally, Tian Yu said goodbye and left, and Cao Liang had no choice but to see him out of the camp in person.

It has to be said that the imperial court's work efficiency this time was surprisingly high. Ten days after Tian Yu's memorial was handed over, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court arrived in Jinyang in a whirlwind of travels.

Tian Yu was relieved of his post as governor of Bingzhou as he wished, but the court did not agree to his request to retire and return to his hometown. Instead, he was appointed Taizhong doctor, still enjoying the salary of Jiuqing.

The Taizhong doctor was an official subordinate to Guang Luxun, and it was basically a sinecure. The imperial court did not agree to Tian Yu's request to become an official and appointed him as the Taizhong doctor, which could be regarded as an affirmation of his lifetime achievements.

Cao Liang was also officially appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Bingzhou. He continued to hold the previous positions of General Pingbei, Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army and Lieutenant General Protecting the Huns.

In fact, these official positions are not in conflict. When Tian Yu was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, he added General Zhenwei and also took charge of the Zhonglang General who protected the Huns. However, after Cao Liang became the Zhonglang General who protected the Huns, Tian Yu no longer took the concurrent command.

This is the job.

In the Wei Dynasty, there were two types of governors in the state. One was the governor who had the title of general, false or upright, and was called the leading governor, which was the fourth rank. The one without the title of general was called the bicycle governor, which was better than the leading governor.

The governor is one rank lower, which is fifth rank.

Tian Yu was the leading military governor, and Cao Liang, who took over as the general of Pingbei, naturally also became the leading military governor.

Under normal circumstances, the delivery of the governor's position has to wait until the successor arrives, but this time is an exception, that is, the successor has arrived in Jinyang long ago, so the delivery can be carried out immediately without waiting.

Witnessed by the imperial envoy, Tian Yu handed over the seal and ribbon symbolizing the power of the governor to Cao Liang, completing the handover ceremony.

As for the files and accounts of the state government and other general affairs, they were handed over by Lord Bo Fuxuan and Pei Xiulai, who joined the army, and the officials of the state government.

Due to the vastness of the files and the numerous account books, it took several days for the handover to be completed.

During this period, Tian Yu had already packed his bags. After the handover was completed, he immediately said goodbye and set off, returning to Luoyang together with the imperial envoy.

Before leaving, Cao Liang personally went out of the city to see him off. The people in the city also felt Tian Yu's kindness and helped the old and young out of the city to see him off. Although the scale of the people leaving the city this time was not as large as when Cao Liang entered the city, there was still a huge crowd. Many people

Tears streamed down his face, and he was filled with grief.

Tian Yu sighed with regret. Although he served as an incompetent governor in Bingzhou, he stood firm in Jinyang and protected thousands of Li people from the Huns, and still won the respect of many people.

In Shili Changting, Tian Yu and Cao Liang said goodbye. Tian Yu told Cao Liang some of his experiences and experiences in Bingzhou in the past few years, hoping that Cao Liang could finally defeat the Huns and return a stable home to the people of Bingzhou.

Cao Liang said that it was his unshirkable duty to expel the barbarians and that he must put the people first so that the people in Bingzhou could live a stable and peaceful life without the worries of war and chaos.
