Everyone was reminiscing about the past, and Liu He was also thinking about how to pull the Zhen family into his camp. Suddenly someone came in to report it.

"Report to the lord, someone outside claims to be an envoy sent by General Huangfu. I will tell you about important matters!"

Liu He was excited.

"Oh? General Huangfu sent it, please invite me quickly."

Zhang Ding, Su Shuang and Zhen Yi said: "Mr. Liu, General Huangfu has specially sent someone to come. There must be important military discussions. We should give up first."

Liu He smiled and said, "No need, I can probably guess what is happening, it's not a secret."

After hearing this, several people stayed.

Soon, the messenger came in with a man.

"The villain has met Lord Liu!"

Liu He walked up and helped him up in person.

"I wonder what the old general has to give?"

The man was immediately flattered by Liu He's treatment.

"Well, the old general sent me to the court to reward the general."

"Haha, OK!" Cheng Liang shouted.

"After all this dog... the court still has a little conscience. Tell me, what reward did you give to our elder brother this time?"

The messenger took out two rolls of cloth from his arms.

"This is the official letter from the court, and this is the letter from the old general to you."

"Thank you, brother, let's rest in my Yanmen for a few days."

The messenger company waved his hands: "I dare not, don't dare, thank you General Liu for his kindness. General Huangfu is very strict in his military administration. I will go back and report quickly. The old general was named the Left Cavalry General this time and went to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people. The villain dared not miss the military opportunity. He said goodbye. The rewarded items were all outside the camp, and the general counted them by himself."

After saying that, he stepped back respectfully.

"The old general has been promoted again, congratulations. Hehe, brother, look, the court has granted all the official positions of the eldest brother and given us some rewards. Don't be as stingy as last time."

Zhu Ye ran over excitedly, poked his head out to see what was written in the official letter.

"Go to you, no big or small."

Liu He patted his head, walked back to the center of the main seat, stood respectfully, and opened the official letter.

Everyone in the tent was a little nervous.

Liu He's face became a little volatile, making everyone confused whether it was a good or a bad thing this time.

"Lord, I wonder what reward the court will give this time?"

Cui Jun asked.

Liu He looked at everyone and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, good things, good things, everyone else has received rewards. More than 20 people were promoted this time. Guangyuan and Gongwei two military advisors were officially appointed as county magistrates. As for the four brothers including Yun Chang and Junshi Cui, they were all granted the title of prefect. In addition, the biggest gain was that they had 10,000 war horses."

Everyone was surprised and delighted.

"The lord is so victorious that these rewards are also worthy of it. The court is not too stupid."

Cui Jun said with some relief.

Zhang Ding and Su Shuang were even happier than they received the reward. The higher the status of Liu He, the brighter the future of their two sons would naturally be.

Zhen Yi stood up and said, "Congratulations, Lord Liu deserves such a reward for making such a great contribution. Zhen admires it!"

Zhang Yong looked at Liu He and suddenly asked, "I wonder what position should I give to you, brother and us?"

Everyone suddenly became quiet. Everyone wanted to know what official position they had obtained, where the county magistrate, and where the prefect was. What they were most concerned about was what reward did Liu He himself receive.

Liu He's expression became slightly unnatural.

Zhang Yong seemed to notice something and asked, "Is there something wrong with this reward?"

Liu He exhaled a long breath.

"It's not a problem. Brother Yu changed his position to serve as the prefect of Shuofang, and was also granted the title of the Captain of the Anti-Escaping Officer. He was able to control the six counties in the west and north of Bingzhou, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Shangjun, who were fully responsible for all military and political affairs. Among them, Yunchang was the prefect of Dingxiang, Gongyi was the prefect of Yunzhong, Mingwei was the prefect of Wuyuan, Dehui was the prefect of Shangjun, and Cui Junshi was the prefect of Yanmen. I can be fully responsible for all the political and military affairs of the six counties, and I will be decreed first and then report."

Everyone fell silent, as if they realized something was wrong here. Cheng Liangben was a little excited and was about to shout, but found that the atmosphere around him was not right. When he reached his mouth, he quickly held back his face and kept his face red.

Shi Tao was the first to speak: "This kind of reward is obviously bad intentions!"

Meng Jian nodded and said, "Yes, the lord should submit the court to the court and not accept such an appointment."

"You two are joking. Although the world is in chaos now, many people are respectful and there are signs of resistance and disrespect to the court. However, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, I am definitely unsatisfied in such behavior."

Seeing Liu He's attitude, Zhang Yong became a little anxious.

"Brother, this edict clearly means trapping us to death in the border area of ​​the Han Dynasty. I am afraid that if all these counties are not taken back, the court will not only not transfer our brother back to the Central Plains, but may instead punish the elder brother for failing to command the troops. Among these six counties, except for Yanmen County, most of the land is under the control of our Han Dynasty, and the rest are all under the control of foreign tribes. If you want to take them back, you may not be able to do it without more than ten years of hard work."

Cui Jun shook his head: "It's not just that. The edict said that all military and political affairs in these counties are decided by the Lord, including taxes, which is actually no different from those in counties. According to convention, it is very likely that the food and wages we should have given to our army in the future. In addition to the salary of our court officials, we have to raise all military needs by ourselves."

"What? This is a bad idea from which bitch came up with. Isn't this going to starve us to death!"

Cheng Liang was immediately angry.

Liu He was relatively calm. He knew that complaining at this time would not solve the problem.

"There is also a letter from General Huangfu to me. Let me see what he said first."

Liu He opened the letter, but there was not much content in it, and he finished reading it soon.

"Brother, what do you say about the old general?"

Guan Yu asked.

Liu He put away the letter and said, "The veteran general said that His Majesty originally intended to summon us to Beijing to receive the title, but was opposed by many important officials in the court. They proposed something that made His Majesty change his mind."

"What's up?"

Liu He looked at everyone and said, "They suggested that I am also a royal family. Now I am in full bloom and have nearly 100,000 soldiers. His Majesty is now incompatible with his health. The princes are young. If they rashly tell me to enter Beijing, I am afraid..."

Speaking of this, Liu He didn't continue talking.

"What they mean is that they are afraid that the lord will threaten the crown prince and have the intention to rebel?"

Cui Jun finished speaking.

Although Liu He did not make any statement on this, his meaning was already very clear.

"Damn, these bastards, I will cut them alive sooner or later!"

"A bunch of men is really hateful!"

Zhang Ding, Su Shuang, Zhen Yi and others didn't know what to say, so they could only sit aside with a little awkwardness and couldn't get into the conversation.

A reward order that should have made people very happy has caused endless silence and anger to fall into the camp, and even Liu He himself began to feel a little angry.

"It seems that my attitude towards local bullies and powerful people over the years has made those big families feel that I am their enemy. They have repeatedly interfered in the court, probably because they want to use these high-sounding reasons to kill people with a knife and kill me."

A few murderous intent began to flash in Liu He's eyes.

Zhang Yong continued to ask, "I wonder what General Huangfu said?"

Liu He woke up from his anger and took a look at the letter again.

"The veteran general did mention a very important thing, saying that after discussing with Lord Lu Zhi and Lord Cui Lie, he believed that if I want to escape from the difficulties and even establish great achievements comparable to Wei Huo, this matter is the top priority for our army at present!"

"What's the matter?" Everyone stretched their necks and looked at Liu He.

"Expand cavalry and create a cavalry team that is large enough and strong enough!"

Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time, and even Zhang, Su, Zhen and others realized how important this matter was.

"The old general hit the nail on the head. With the current strength of our army, if we want to take steady steps and advance step by step, we can indeed recover lost territory. However, due to the defects of infantry, finding the enemy, pursuing the enemy, etc., will be very inefficient. But if we also have a cavalry of tens of thousands of scales, it will be completely different."

Cui Jun quickly figured out the key point.

As the commander of the cavalry, Guan Yu naturally understood the importance of cavalry fighting on the plains and grasslands.

"Brother, tell me, let me wait, even if I sacrifice my life, I will achieve this goal!"
