Chapter 375
Early the next morning, Chang Yuchun and Gan Ning rushed to Wuguan with Liu Bian's imperial decree.Two days later, Yang Zaixing also returned to Chang'an, and Lin Yu came back with Yang Zaixing.

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty!" The two bowed their hands to Liu Bian in Liu Bian's study in Chang'an Imperial City.

"Haha, it's been almost a year since we parted, and you are separated from me, get up quickly!" There was no one else in the hall, Liu Bian helped Yang Zaixing up.

If we say that in this world, the group of people who have the closest relationship with Liu Bian are the women of Liu Bian, Tang Wan, Cai Yan, Yang Miaozhen and others.Followed by Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi, the two personal guards.

From the crossing in April 189 AD, Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi became Liu Bian's personal bodyguards.Now it is February 193 AD, and it has been nearly three years. Yang Yansi has served as Liu Bian's bodyguard for three years, and Yang Zaixing has served as Liu Bian's bodyguard for two years. In March last year, Yang Zaixing accompanied Cao Cao to attack Chang'an, and then guarded Wuguan , has been away for nearly a year.

And Lin Yu was rescued by Liu Bian's expedition against Yanmen in the autumn of 189, and he followed Liu Bian to practice literature and martial arts for a year and a half before going to Wuguan with Yang Zaixing to garrison.

Although it has been nearly a year, these two people hold a lot of weight in Liu Bian's heart. Looking at Yang Zaixing and Lin Yu, Liu Bian is very kind in his heart.Liu Bian looked at the two of them, only to see that Yang Zaixing was still the same, tall and straight, with a sturdy and wild look.

But Lin Yu has changed a lot. I haven't seen him mature a lot in a year. At the age of 19, he is more than eight feet tall, tall and slender, handsome and burly.

"Not bad, it seems that after a year of experience in the army, you have improved a lot!" Liu Bian looked at Lin Yu and exclaimed.

"I have learned a lot from His Majesty's side before, and I have learned a lot from being in the army this year. I just feel that what I have learned is not enough. I want to go back to His Majesty's side to learn!" Lin Yu clasped his hands.

Let Liu Bian teach him, of course he can't learn much, but Liu Bian's teachers are Sangong Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.Although they are not very capable, they are indeed top-notch in teaching students. Following Liu Bian is actually asking them for advice.

Liu Bian frowned. If Lin Yu was a year ago, he would never be able to say these words, but now Lin Yu has truly realized his own shortcomings.It seems that the precipitation of the past year has indeed made Lin Yu mature. Although Lin Yu used Huo Qubing as an example before, his personality was completely different. Now, he seems to be a little bit like Huo Qubing.

With a move in Liu Bian's mind, he asked the system to detect Lin Yu's four-dimensional:
"Lin Yu, force 95, commander 89, intelligence 76, politics 49!"

Liu Bian was quite satisfied, this ability was already very valuable, if he practiced for a few years in the future, he might be able to match Huo Qubing.Patting Lin Yu's shoulder, Liu Bian smiled and said, "It's good that you can go back to Luoyang, but someone in Luoyang still misses you!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu's face turned red, and his expression became righteous: "The general said at the beginning that the Xiongnu would not have a family if they were not destroyed! Now that the world is in chaos, how can the general think about this?"

"Bastard, I am the lord of the world. Now that the world is not in peace, I can't start a family? What's more, you want me to be a majestic princess of the Han Dynasty and wait for you to settle down in the Han Dynasty?"

Ever since Lin Yu accidentally rescued Princess Wannian two years ago, although Princess Wannian kept silent, she had secretly developed a crush on Lin Yu for a year.Now that Princess Wannian has reached the age of marriage, Empress Dowager He is busy choosing a son-in-law for Princess Wannian.If Liu Bian hadn't procrastinated, I'm afraid he would have married long ago.

"Here, the last general is Habayashiro, how can he be worthy of the princess's body!" Lin Yu cupped his hands in embarrassment.

The corner of Liu Bian's mouth curled up. Although Lin Yu took Huo Qubing as an example, he was still far from Huo Qubing's unworldly state.Staring at Lin Yu, Liu Bian said coldly: "I gave you three years, and you have been studying with me for a year. Now that Mongolia is rising in the north, although there is Ran Min in Hetao, you are still alone. After one year, you will go to Bingzhou. Which step you can reach is up to you, don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Lin Yu nodded, his eyes full of determination.

"Well, sit down, I have something to ask you!" Liu Bian nodded and told them to sit down.

"You have been stationed at Wuguan this year, and you have had conflicts with Yuan Shu. Who are the powerful people under Yuan Shu's command?" Liu Bian asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, although Yuan Shu has 30 million soldiers, most of them only know how to kill the common people. They are all traitors and are vulnerable. But there are some powerful people under his command!" Yang Zaixing said solemnly.

"Who are there, let's hear it!"

Yang Zaixing replied: "Sun Jian was the first general under Yuan Shu's command. Sun Jian was one of the eighteen princes at the time. He had Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao under his command. The [-] Jiangdong soldiers and horses were like wolves and tigers. But he is brave and uncommon! And Sun Jian has a son named Sun Ce, a young hero who is about the same age as Yuer, but even more brave than Yuer!"

Speaking of Sun Ce, Lin Yu shook his hand. It seems that he suffered a loss from Sun Ce, but he was still fighting in his heart.

"Hehe, although Sun Jian was one of the vassals of the [-]th Route, he tried his best to make meritorious service, but now he has taken refuge in Yuan Shu, a scum, it seems that he can't stand loneliness!" Liu Bian chuckled.

"Your Majesty is right. I found out from Wuguan that Yuan Shu asked him to take Wuguan, but he refused to send troops. He was eating Yuan Shu's food. It seems that he was reluctant to lose Jiangdong soldiers under his command. They want to consume Sun Jian's strength! It seems that the relationship between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu is not as simple as master and servant." Yang Zaixing nodded.

"Sun Jian didn't want to be under Yuan Shu, but have you ever fought against Sun Jian in the past year?" Liu Bian continued to ask.

"Since the last general occupied Wuguan, Sun Jian also led the army to retreat! Afterwards, he went to Yuan Shu's rear. The last general does not know the specific situation, but now it is Yuan Shu general Hou Junji who is stationed in Nanyang Wancheng!"

"Hou Junji!" Liu Bian's expression darkened. This was the first time he had entered and left a random general because he subdued Cao Cao.As the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, his ability is extraordinary, but his character is not very good. At first Li Shimin asked Li Jing to teach Hou Junji the art of war, but Hou Junji accused Li Jing of treason, and finally Hou Junji was killed because of the rebellion .Although it involves politics, a military general who is so intriguing is far less clever than Li Jing who stays away from politics.

Liu Bian also didn't like Hou Junji's impure generals, but at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji was also the commander-in-chief second only to Li Jing, even Li Ji was inferior to him at that time, his ability should not be underestimated .

Liu Bian asked: "Hou Junji sits in Nanyang, what is the situation in Nanyang now?"

"Compared to Yuan Shu's other generals, Hou Junji's knowledge is much higher. He sits in Nanyang, but his soldiers don't bully the people. Compared with the people in Runan who complain, Nanyang is relatively stable!" Yang Zaixing replied.

"It's good that Nanyang is relatively stable. I plan to attack Nanyang after Wuguan soldiers and horses are trained. That would be a fat piece of meat. But with Hou Junji in charge, it is relatively difficult to deal with!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

Yang Zaixing also shook his head. He was just a fierce general who charged into battle. He didn't know much about these things, but he couldn't give Liu Bian any advice.

Seeing Yang Zaixing's expression like this, Liu Bian laughed and said, "A mere Hou Junji can't make any troubles, just keep talking!"

"Except for Sun Jian and Hou Junji, most of Yuan Shu's staff are mediocre, and there is only one Ji Ling who is not bad at martial arts!"

"Well, although Yuan Shu occupied Huainan and won the Yuan family's ancestral land, he is unpopular. I will destroy him sooner or later! You go down and rest, Xiao Qi has been talking about you a lot these days, go and catch up with him!" Liu Bianbai waved his hand.

"The last general will retire!" Yang Zaixing and the two bowed their hands and retreated.

After the two left, Liu Bian's thoughts were raging. Although Yuan Shu was easy to deal with, he was not easy to deal with, because Yuan Shu had many people, because Yuan Shu was rich and had the support of a family.If you want to attack Yuan Shu, you have to work hard, and you can't delay. Liu Bian only prepared [-] soldiers and horses. If you really fight hard, Liu Bian will not be able to fight for a long time.

Hou Junji's position in Nanyang was a difficult problem in itself, and it was difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the relationship between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu was not very good, but once Liu Bian sent troops to Nanyang and Yuan Shu used Sun Jian, it would be difficult to take Nanyang.

Liu Bian pondered for a moment, then shouted to the guards outside the hall: "Xuan Liru, come here, by the way, after Li Ru arrives, bring Pang Xi!"

Although Liu Bian decided to let Li Ru go to Yizhou and rely on Pang Xi to manage his forces, the handover of Chang'an Jinyiwei's forces could not be completed in a day or two, so Li Ru is still in Chang'an.

After a while, Li Ru came to Liu Bian's study.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

When Liu Bian talked about the difficult problem of attacking Yuan Shu, Li Ru nodded in agreement and said: "Nanyang is not easy to attack, and the key is to send out surprise troops. Once it drags on for a long time, it will be a protracted battle. Your Majesty means You don't want Sun Jian to get involved?"

"That's right, Chang Yuchun is brave, and Sun Jian is also a fierce tiger. If these two fight in Nanyang, I'm afraid they won't be able to take Nanyang in a short time! So I want you to send a Jinyi Guard to Yuzhou. Investigate Yuan Shu's power situation, and Among them, when attacking Nanyang, it is best not to let Sun Jian enter Nanyang!" Liu Bian nodded.

"Alright, now that the power of the Guanzhong family has been greatly reduced, and the Jinyiwei has a lot of manpower free, I will send a Jinyiwei to Yuzhou right now!"

Liu Bian nodded, and then asked, "By the way, there is also Pang Xi, have you communicated with him?"

Li Ru replied: "Not yet, I have been busy with Jinyiwei these days! But I think it's best for His Majesty to tell him!"

"Alright, I have someone bring him here!" Liu Bian was talking, when the soldiers outside the door made noises, it was indeed Pang Xi who had arrived.

"Bring him in!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

"Sinner Pang Xi is defeated by His Majesty!"

"Pang Xi, you committed such a serious crime, you deserve to die. But I didn't kill you, you are a smart person, do you know why?" Liu Bian sneered.

Pang Xi cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty asked about Liu Yan's health that day, the criminals have vaguely guessed that Liu Yan's health is not good, and his sons are not heroes. Your Majesty wants to send Liu Yan after Liu Yan dies. Fan enters Yizhou to seize power!"

"Yeah!" Liu Bian nodded with a sneer and said, "You are smart. You deliberately belittled Liu Fan that day, not afraid of offending him. You must know your mission!"

"If Liu Fan enters Yizhou, he will definitely not submit to His Majesty anymore, so His Majesty wants to rely on me to return to Yizhou to control his forces first, and control Liu Fan as much as possible!" Pang Xi replied truthfully.

"That's right! I mean that, but I want him to go to Yizhou with Jin Yiwei, you obey him!" Liu Bian pointed at Li Rudao.

"Criminals are willing to pay for their merits and crimes! I am willing to take full authority over Li Ru when I go to Yizhou!" Pang Xi immediately promised.

"Heh, you agreed quite quickly, but why should I believe you!" Liu Bian sneered.

"Since your majesty's paper book came out, the princes of the world's aristocratic families have lost their advantage in competing with your majesty. I know that it is natural for your majesty to rule the world. How dare criminals play tricks now? Even if they escape to Yizhou, your majesty will attack Yizhou." Zhou, I am also doomed to die! It is better for criminals to surrender to His Majesty now, and only hope that His Majesty can protect my family's wealth!" Pang Xi knelt down to Liu Bian, pouring out all the thoughts in his heart like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

With Liu Bian's shrewdness, how could he be deceived by telling lies?Pang Xi is also considered smart, to tell the truth, he hugged Liu Bian's thigh, hoping to exchange for the family's prosperity and wealth.

After hearing this, Liu Bian laughed, patted Pang Xi on the shoulder and said, "I like talking to people like you! I may promise you that as long as you do things for me sincerely, and when things are done, as long as your family keeps its own place, If you don’t bully the common people and do evil, your family will not only be prosperous and rich, but also the name of the imperial examination will always be part of your family!”
