Ma Chao's problem was concluded, and everyone discussed some miscellaneous matters. Just as they were about to disperse, the guard at the door hurriedly came in and said that there was an urgent military intelligence report.

"Oh? Could it be that Guo Aduo caused something else?"

Guo Si's nickname was A Duo, and Liu Xuan called him by his nickname as soon as he opened his mouth. It was a contemptuous name, but his eyes were fixed on the guard who was passing the message, and he was very concerned about what changes had happened.

The guard held the letter in his hands with both hands. Everyone glanced at each other, and finally looked at the letter intently. Only Zhong Yao, who was standing at the door, stepped forward to take the letter, then checked it roughly and handed it to Liu Xuan.

before.

Liu Xuan took a look and rushed to Zhong Yao, who was in front of him and nodded. Zhong Yao immediately understood, opened the letter, and read it carefully.

Everyone noticed that Zhong Yao's face was very calm at first, but then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and finally his mouth opened slightly, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Your Majesty!" The voice was trembling. It was unclear whether he was excited or frightened because of something, but everyone felt that the former was more likely.

Liu Xuan also became curious at this time and said to Zhong Yao: "What did the letter say?"

Zhong Yao took a long breath and calmed down slightly: "The letter was sent by Han Sui, the governor of Jincheng, and Han Wenyue. The letter stated that Guo Si was killed by his general Wu Xi, and his head was presented in front of the formation. The whole army

Beg to surrender!”

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was shocked, but they never expected that such an earth-shattering change would happen in the northwest.

Li Jue and Guo Si had occupied the northwest territory for a long time and had been operating it for a long time. They had countless soldiers and horses under their command, but they were betrayed by their subordinates one after another. This shows how little these two people know how to win over people's hearts.

Li Jue was a little better. He was more or less defeated in the confrontation, and was captured by Liu Bei's brothers before being beheaded.

But Guo Si was a bit more tragic. He had withstood Han Sui's attack, but unexpectedly he made the generals in the tent dissatisfied. In the end, Wu Xi took the lead and led Guo Sixiao to open the camp gate and surrender to Han Sui -

-The root cause turned out to be a battle between Guo Si and Han Sui. After the difficult victory, he did not reward the meritorious soldiers. Instead, he believed that the victory was the result of the blessing of the witch he invited. He gave a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the witch, which made everyone angry.

will be dissatisfied.

Liu Xuan dragged the silk (at this time, letters were mostly written on cloth and silk, and paper had not really become popular yet), and said with a smile: "God damn this thief!"

Before he sent out the army, he heard that Li Jue and Guo Si believed in the local shamans, witches and so on, and would definitely invite a few witches to accompany the army every time he fought.

, one must pray for blessings before a war.

Unexpectedly, this witch turned out to be Guo Si's demise and gave him Liu Xuan an advantage for nothing.

Guo Si had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. Although he fought with Han Sui and Ma Teng for a long time, his losses were not much. More than half of them were elite border troops. With a little reorganization, the strength of the Forbidden Army could be strengthened.

When Wu Xi persuaded the generals to surrender, Liu Xuan was all advantaged, and he was naturally very happy.

More importantly, the moment he got the letter, Liu Xuan felt that the dragon energy in this area had changed. Even the dragon energy that was originally unrelated to each other began to merge. If they gathered together,

Then the dragon energy in this world will undergo qualitative changes.

At the same time, the dragon energy in his body will also change - although this change will not end overnight, Liu Xuan saw the opportunity for him to break through the dragon egg stage.

"Guo Si dies, Wu Xi surrenders, and the northwest is at peace. As long as I send people to slowly take control of Xiliang, the northwest will truly return to my rule. It seems that only after completing these things can this dragon spirit be completed.

The final evolution, and at that time, the dragon egg will naturally break open and a golden dragon will be born."

It's just that in this mighty personal expedition, apart from beheading Zhang Xiu, whose head was obviously missing a string, he didn't actually see any real battles. It was very boring... He didn't think he would lose this big battle.

So I came out just to join in the fun and see if I had any fun.

After all, there is really nothing interesting in the palace, and although Cai Yan has been swallowed by him, he is still practicing the basic Phoenix power recently. It is not suitable to have sex with him every day recently. Not only will it have no effect, but he will not pay attention.

He would even hurt his lovely queen.

As for Diao Chan? This girl is progressing very quickly, but it's a pity that she's so tender that she can't put it in her mouth. Liu Xuan reckons she'll have to wait at least a year.

"It's only the second year of Jian'an now, and it's only 191 AD. The next period of time will be the performance time of the princes of Guandong. I just need to farm in the northwest with peace of mind."

Now that the two thieves Li and Guo have been eliminated, affairs will have to return to people's livelihood, and Liu Xuan estimates that he will have to sit in the palace again.

At the same time, the reorganization of the Forbidden Army can also continue. At the same time, because many redundant young men have been captured, the formation of county and national soldiers must also be put on the agenda. What the Forbidden Army needs to do is to garrison some key places.

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry should also be transferred back to the capital, and cannot be stationed outside for a long time." The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be the elite soldiers of the imperial court for a long time to come, and their role will even be greater than that of the Huben Army. If the Huben Army is also limited by its powers,

If you can't stay too far away from the capital, then the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will not be restricted at all, and they are Liu Xuan's real minions.

In addition, he had to take some time to have a good chat with Cao Cao and comfort him - because Liu Xuan had given the position of the general who conquered the west to Lu Bu, and that was the general number that Cao Cao had been thinking about. If Liu Xuan could not comfort him,

Okay, it might make this hero dissatisfied.

Now Cao Cao is not as good as Lu Bu. Lu Bu has already pledged his allegiance to him. Cao Cao only assists Liu Xuan because he thinks he can get the best benefits by working with him, so Liu Xuan still has to put some thought into it.

He had a rough idea in his mind, and at the same time he told everyone: "Since Guo Si is dead, the matter of accepting it will be left to you. As for Han Sui's reward, let's give him the title of Zhonglang General of Qiang.

.”

Han Sui's hometown is in Jincheng, which is also a county, located in Xiliang! He is also very famous in Liangzhou, and he and Ma Teng are sworn brothers - but these two brothers are a complete combination of interests, and there is nothing

emotion.

Therefore, although Ma Teng fell to the court, it did not mean that Han Sui would be willing to hand over all the power in his hands. Liu Xuan wanted to deprive him of his power as the governor of Jincheng, and he would probably resist it, so he could only put it aside first.

Then first control the area around Liangzhou, and then finally deal with Han Sui.

The reason why he was awarded the title of Zhonglang General of Zhongqiang was because Liu Xuan had long wanted to abolish the title of Zhonglang General. After a while, he abolished the title of Zhonglang General and took advantage of the opportunity to recruit Han Sui to serve in Beijing. At that time, Liangzhou was basically under the control of his court.

Under control, if Han Sui refuses to obey, this hidden danger can be eliminated.

If he is willing to comply with the court's arrangements, then Liu Xuan would not mind giving him a lifetime of glory and wealth.

With this consideration, there was nothing to say after that. Liu Xuan went back to rest on his own, while Wenwu discussed how to deal with the mess left by Li Jue and Guo Si.

It has only been three short months since we set out in the spring, and it is midsummer. Even if we leave immediately, we will not be able to return to Chang'an until late autumn at most.

However, after the war, even if the battle ended in an anticlimactic manner, there were still many things to deal with, and the imperial army could not just pat their butts and leave.

Arranging local officials, issuing announcements to calm the people, restoring people's livelihood, and reorganizing the public security that has been chaotic during this period, and catching those gangsters who took advantage of the chaos to do evil so that the people can feel at ease. Everything seems small, but it is

The kind of things that are particularly difficult and time-consuming to do.

However, it is not enough not to do these things, because the imperial court wants to govern this land. They are not rogue bandits, nor are they the Yellow Turban Army. They cannot sweep away one place and then leave directly to sweep the next place.

So, even if it’s troublesome, you still have to do it.

Several people began to discuss who could come and serve here. After talking for a long time, they finally thought of some people.

Because of Ma Teng's arrival, Liu Ye was also present. Xun Yu, Liu Ye, and Guo Jia recommended them, and they all recommended Cheng Yu, Lu Qian, Mao Jie, and Man Chong.

It is a pity that Liu Xuan is not here at this time, otherwise he would be ecstatic, because these people are all great talents and are the foundation of the later establishment of the Wei State. With these people, he will have more people at his disposal.

The most important thing is that these people are good at internal affairs, and for the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, he currently relies on the team left by the old emperor. It will take some time for him to cultivate his own team. But if these people are added, it will undoubtedly speed up the blood exchange.

speed.

However, Xun Yu and others did not know how Liu Xuan felt about these people, so the few people they recommended did not directly join the court, but stayed in various places in Guanzhong to serve.

These people are all quite talented and famous, and they all worked as officials in various places in their early years, so they are not afraid of being inexperienced. Now that they are recommended, they will not feel that they cannot be used.

Yang Biao thought for a while, these places were all newly occupied, and they indeed needed some young and capable people to take charge. Those in the court were either too old, or lacked the ability to adapt, even if they had official experience.

There are many more people than these people, but if they really want to do something, I'm afraid they can't compare to these few, so I just nodded my head in approval.

Seeing Yang Biao's approval, Xun Yu and others had nothing to worry about. In this expedition, Yang Biao actually represented the attitude of the old forces in the court, especially the three Dukes.

With Yang Biao's approval, it means that there will be no resistance from the Sangong side. Then the emperor agrees, and the matter is completely settled.

However, it is difficult to decide on the specific position because there are still some things to be resolved before that.
