A few days later, in the Langdiao County Council Office, except for Cheng Liang who had already led his army to Lu County, the rest of the people gathered together, and everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what Liu He had summoned everyone to come this time.

Liu He and Cui Jun walked out together, and everyone's eyes instantly looked over.

Liu He signaled everyone to sit down, and he also sat in the center of the main seat, and then took out a piece of cloth.

"This is the imperial court's appointment letter, which was handed over to me by Prefect Zang this morning."

Guan Yu and others showed joy on their faces.

"The appointment letter has finally arrived? I wonder what position the imperial court has granted the eldest brother?"

"Hehe, look, my brother must at least be a prefect, right? Then we brothers can also become a county magistrate."

"Okay, brothers, stop making trouble, let the elder brother finish."

Zhang Yong seemed to see Cui Jun's face was not very good, and he felt that the appointment letter did not seem to be as expected, so he spoke out to stop everyone's noise.

Liu He smiled relaxedly and said, "Haha, although what Dehui said is not very accurate, it is almost the same. The court appointed me as the commander of Yanmen County, the military advisor as the magistrate of Yangqu County, the second brother Fenyang County, the third brother and the fourth brother are the magistrate of Yuxian and Langdiao County, and the fifth brother is the magistrate of my Langdiao County. In this way, everyone is officially appointed to the court."

Zhu Ye was heartless and didn't notice anything wrong at all. He smiled so much that his face was almost squeezed out.

"Haha, I, Zhu Ye, finally got into a county lieutenant, not bad!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Yong were not happy at all, but instead were shocked and angry, especially Guan Yu, whose pair of lying silkworm eyebrows almost stood upright.

"Yanmen? This is already the northern border of our Great Han Dynasty. It is said that the two counties in Yunzhong and Shuofang are useless, leaving only Wuyuan County, Dingxiang County and Yanmen County, which are still struggling to support them, but they are also attacked by the Huns and Xianbei for many years. The eldest brother has made great military achievements. Why should he be exiled to such a bitter and cold place? Is this court really so stupid?"

"Yes, hasn't General Huangfu ever asked for merit for his elder brother? I heard for a long time that several prefects and commanders of Yanmen were either voluntarily resigning and retiring, or trying to transfer them. Almost all the rest were killed by the captains. There were few who were spared. This was not a reward, it was clearly a reward for his elder brother's life!"

Zhu Ye only realized it at this time.

"It turns out that this is not a good thing! Brother, we can't go! This Yanmen is so dangerous, the dog officials on it must be jealous of the elder brother, afraid that the elder brother will steal their position. Humph! This bullshit imperial court deserves to be beaten by Zhang Jiao!"

"Yes, Brother Liu, we now have three county towns, and the county town of Zhao County Magistrate is enough to support 40,000 troops, so why bother to take that risk?"

Ye Xiang said with a rare slightest voice.

Liu He shook his head.

"Yun Chang, Mingwei, Dehui, Yuanqing, I don't know what you said? It's just that Yanmen has to go for my brother."

Yuan Qing is Ye Xiang's name. He was not yet twenty years old, but Liu He considered that everyone's arrangements were not clear yet, so he held a ceremony for him in advance.

At this time, Tang Zhou, who was standing beside him, sat up straight and bowed to ask.

"Lord, now the court is obviously in bad faith, why should you take risks? Now the remnants of Taiping Road are raging in all directions, and the court is experiencing time and effort. The lord once said that if this continues, it will be a group of heroes for several years. Since this is the case, we will stay here and manage several counties with peace of mind. I wish the court could do anything to me."

Although Liu He didn't like Tang Zhou, he made great contributions after all, and the Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers also needed his assistance in pacifying and managing them in a short period of time. Therefore, Liu He also asked him to temporarily serve as the county magistrate of the Langshi County and gave him the first dagger cast by the three blacksmiths, which made the man so happy that he could not find the north.

Everyone's words were widely opposed to going to Yanmen in the north, which was also expected by Liu He. He did not interrupt everyone, and waited until everyone had expressed their opinions before waved to everyone to calm down.

"I know what you said, and I will not hide it from everyone. Not long ago, the governor Zhang, resisted the invasion of the Huns in Shangjun, and unfortunately was seriously injured and died in his country. Now the court has ordered a Lord Ding Yuan to succeed him as governor."

When everyone heard this, they even firmly decided on their own opinions. Even the governor sent troops to death. This foreign tribe's power, combat power, and violent temperament can be seen.

Shangjun is on the west side of Bingzhou, and the main enemy is the Xiongnu. After being attacked by Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan, Emperor Yuan, Emperor Zhang and other dynasties, the strength is no longer comparable. The vast grasslands in the north have long been the Xianbei world.

Faced with the fact that the Huns were so tragic, there was no need to say anything more when facing the Xianbei north of Yanmen. The opposition became stronger and stronger.

Liu He stood up and walked to the middle of the conference hall.

"I said that you must go to Yanmen, because there are three reasons."

Everyone suddenly raised their ears and wanted to hear Liu He’s plan.

"First, this is an appointment by the court. If you don't go, you will resist the order and will definitely bring you great disaster. Although we have great strength now, if you openly confront the court, will you not see Zhang Jiao ending?"

"Secondly, Yanmen is really cold, but this also means that the people of Yanmen suffer day and night, fearing and fear. As far as I know, Yanmen County still has hundreds of thousands of people, and they are also great men. We have been dormant in Langdiao County for several years and fought with the Yellow Turban Army many times. Now we have finally survived the cold winter. Our strength is no less than that of the governor. What is it that the people from all directions return to our hearts and have the glory of our current day. Is it because we have achieved something now that we have to abandon our original intention and focus on pursuing our own fame and fortune?"

These two questions made Cui Jun and Guan Yu and others lower their heads one after another, with a hint of shame.

Liu He continued to talk.

"Third, the Yellow Turbans are rebelling. Although Zhang Jiao is dead, the world's chaos has not diminished but increased. Many bandits and traitors take this opportunity to raise troops under the banner of the Yellow Turbans, gather in the mountains and forests, conquer cities and territory. The court is unable to rectify them. The local government recruits troops to develop arms on its own. The rise of princes in the Central Plains is unstoppable. We are trapped in the fight between the princes early, and there are no benefits. We flee far away from Yanmen. Although we have to face foreign cavalry, as long as we overcome this difficulty, we will be famous all over the world. By then, we will return to the Central Plains and revitalize the prestige of the Han Dynasty. Who can stop me!"

"Okay! My brother taught me a lesson that I know my mistake!"

Guan Yu stood up first and bowed his head to apologize.

"Everything is only based on the instructions of the elder brother/lord!"

Liu He's words made everyone completely convinced and no longer objected.

Liu He happily returned to his seat and began to order.

"Wangdiao County and Yu County have been completely controlled by us, while Fenyang County has not yet been truly controlled. My second brother led the cavalry and 6,000 infantrymen to set off today and rushed to take office. I will ask Dexing to lead a few experts in farming and forging to go with Yunchang. We must take control of this county as quickly as possible, appease the people, encourage farmers and recruit soldiers."

Dexing is Zhang Long's name, and Guan Yu's wife Zhang Yan is his sister, so he is Guan Yu's eldest brother-in-law. Now he has the intelligence of 78 and politics of 72. It is easy to assist Guan Yu in managing a county well.

Guan Yu certainly understood what Liu He meant by "complete control", so he stood up and took the order with his fists.

Fenyang County is about 200 miles northwest of Langdiao County, and is the westernmost county on Taiyuan County. Go westward to Xihe County.

Although this county is located in a hilly area, fortunately, there are many larger rivers passing by. As long as you reclaim it well, you can have a good grain harvest. With land and grain, there will be a population. With all the grain and population, you can only be effective in recruiting soldiers and horses, and you can only have logistical support when you go north to Yanmen.

Liu He looked at Cui Jun again: "Since the military advisor has been appointed as the magistrate of Yangqu County, I will ask Yuanqing to lead 4,000 troops to go with you. Yangqu County is located between Yu County and Lu County. It should not be difficult to conquer and control it. This place is rarely flat and has a rich land. If it is good at operating, it may provide a large amount of food and grass for our army in the future. The craftsmen, peasants, military advisors and Yuanqing will choose from it."

Cui Jun and Ye Xiang also received the order together.

Langdiao County, Yun County, Yangqu County, Lu County, and Fenyang County, these five counties have almost occupied the entire northern part of Taiyuan County. As long as these five counties are firmly controlled, they will have no worries in Yanmen.

"The rest of the people, who have been in charge of the army here for half a month, will follow me and send troops to Yanmen!"

"Here!"

For a time, recruiting new recruits, sending food and grass, and personnel changes, Langdiao County and Yu County became extremely busy.
