Cao Cao and Bao Xin were right.

When Dong Zhuo got the newspaper printed and distributed by Liu Chen and saw the content on it, he was instantly shocked and panicked!

Liu Chen's guess was not wrong. When Dong Zhuo first entered Beijing, he had only a few thousand Liangzhou troops.

If it hadn't been for recently sending soldiers out of the city secretly at night and entering the city with great fanfare during the day, creating the illusion of an endless stream of Liangzhou legions and intimidating the officials!

Dong Zhuo also did not dare to flex his muscles in Luoyang and annex He Jin's subordinates.

But now, all his plans and schemes were guessed by Liu Chen, as if they were being manipulated in the palm of his hand, which made Dong Zhuo terrified!

"spy! There must be a spy among our army!"

Dong Zhuo was cunning, cruel and tyrannical by nature, but he was also a heroic figure. He quickly thought of something.

But Li Ru on the side shook his head seriously and said:

"Father-in-law, Changshan is hundreds of miles away from Luoyang. Our army has just entered the city a few days ago. Even if there are spies, how could they pass the information to Changshan so quickly?

"Even Changshan King could print the information on newspapers and send them back to Luoyang? This time of coming and going is simply unexplainable!"

Li Ru's words were like a basin of cold water poured down on him, causing Dong Zhuo to wake up instantly. He clapped his hands and said:

"exactly. But why can King Changshan guess our plan?"

As he thought about it, Dong Zhuo's face turned even paler, and an unbelievable possibility suddenly appeared in his mind. He said in shock:

"Is it possible that King Changshan is really as clever and clever as the rumors say? Or even... a prophet?!"

Li Ru's face was serious. Even with his intelligence, it was difficult to explain Changshan King Liu Chen's reaction. In the end, he could only sigh and said:"This is the only way to explain it!"

"Dear son-in-law, what should we do next?"Dong Zhuo asked with a pale face.

If all the officials in the court listen to Liu Chen's words and unite to attack him, with his current strength, he will be defeated in one blow!

Even if the Yuan family and other big families of the fourth generation and the third generation take the lead, He annexed the troops that surrendered to He Jin, and he was very likely to rebel directly!

After all, he, Dong Zhuo, was unpopular!

"Damn King Changshan, I, Dong Zhuo, am not done with you! Dong Zhuo thought bitterly, Liu Chen almost interrupted his plan.

"Father-in-law, please be patient. I have sent people to investigate and see the reactions of all the officials in the court."

Li Ru said with a serious face:"Especially the reaction of the Yuan family and other aristocratic families, only in this way can we make the next plan!"

"As it should be! Be careful! Dong Zhuo said with a heavy nod.

The two men, Weng and his son-in-law, waited in such fear.

They even secretly recalled thousands of soldiers from the Liangzhou Army to guard around the mansion to prevent hundreds of officials from rising up and hurting people!

But they waited left and right, Instead of waiting for a sudden attack, the spies sent the information.

"this……"

Li Ru looked at the content above in disbelief. After Liu Chen's newspaper appeared, the capital was in an uproar and the people of Luoyang were in a collective sensation!

There are many organizations among the people who have joined forces and want to launch an attack on Dong Zhuo.

But Li Ru didn't care at all about these rabble.

But the Yuan family, Yang family and other aristocratic families that they cared about, the families of the fourth generation and the three fathers, showed no response at all!

It's not that there was no response. Some people indeed asked them to take the lead in attacking Dong Zhuo, but... they refused!

He even thought that this matter was a fraud!

Li Ru could naturally tell that they didn't think it was a scam, but they were afraid of death and the ruin of the family's century-old legacy!

Don't be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot, those rootless people will rise up. They, aristocratic and wealthy families, are involved in so many things that they simply cannot afford to gamble!

"A bunch of weaklings, weaklings who bully the weak and fear the strong!"Li Ru burst out laughing. After passing the information to Dong Zhuo, the latter did the same.

"No worries! I, Dong Zhongying, have nothing to worry about! Dong

Zhuo stroked his beard and laughed and said:"The wise son-in-law is right, these people are just weaklings." Scholars' rebellion accomplishes nothing

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have had to stay outside Luoyang for so long and forcefully entered Beijing directly. There is nothing they could have done! Dong

Zhuo relaxed. Li Ru rolled his eyes and had a plan in mind. He said with a smile:"Father-in-law, they stick to the old rules. We can't just sit back and wait for death.""

"Oh, what’s the clever idea of ​​a wise son-in-law?"

"When they retreat, we take advantage of the situation and attack. Li

Ru stroked his beard and smiled, with a treacherous look on his face, and said viciously:"Father-in-law, didn't you say you wanted to establish your authority?" The time has come! You can invite hundreds of officials to a banquet and propose the abolition of the establishment!"

"Will this cause a backlash? Dong Zhuo asked worriedly:"After all, deposing the emperor is a very important matter!""

"Of course, but not too big! Li

Ru smiled confidently and said,"At such a precarious time, if my father-in-law shrinks, it will make them suspicious."

"But if they attack forcefully and unscrupulously, they will not dare to act rashly! This is a plan to create doubts out of thin air! Dong

Zhuo thought for a moment, nodded and said,"Listen to what the wise son-in-law said, choose an auspicious day to entertain all the officials!""

……

Luoyang is turbulent, but Changshan is stable and peaceful.

Shortly after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Changshan's troops from the expedition also returned one after another.

They left soldiers to guard the city, and the leading counselors and generals returned with small armies, as well as the situation in each county.

Liu Chen personally came out of the city to greet him, which made these advisers and generals flattered and extremely moved.

Liu Chen did not deal with the government affairs of various counties, but took the lead in discussing meritorious service and rewarding these soldiers.

"Jushu!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"I appoint you as the Grand Administrator of Zhongshan and take charge of all government affairs in Zhongshan!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Jushou stepped back with excitement. Although he was promoted from the Changshan State Chancellor to the Zhongshan Prefecture, his status and scope of power have been improved.

……

"Open your jaw!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king appoints you as the Commander-in-Chief of Zhongshan County, taking charge of all military and political power in Zhongshan!"

"The general will obey!"

Zhang Jia was also very excited. He was promoted two levels, from a military commander with a rank of a thousand stones to a county captain with a rank of two thousand stones.

……

Actually.

Generally speaking, the counties in the interior do not have county captains, and the troops are led by prefects.

But considering the future outbreak of the Luoyang Rebellion and the disputes among the heroes, Liu Chen must take precautions and make early preparations.

Zhongshan, Hejian, and Bohai are adjacent to Youzhou. This is to prepare for the subsequent annexation of Youzhou.

……

"Tian Feng!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"This king appoints you as the governor of Hejian, taking charge of all government affairs in Hejian!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Tian Feng resigned with excitement. He was promoted from Guofu to Prefect. This is a leapfrog upgrade.

……

"Yan Liang!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king appoints you as General Zhenwei, taking charge of all military and political power in the river!"

"The general will obey!"

Yan Liang withdrew with excitement. Although General Zhenwei was a general of some rank, he still had a rank of two thousand stones. He had been promoted and made a fortune.

……

"Guo Jia!"

"What are your orders, my lord?"

"This king appoints you as the governor of Bohai to take charge of all government affairs in Bohai! Remember this king’s naval force and arrange it as soon as possible!"

"Subordinates obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Guo Jia smiled and stepped back. He has jumped from acting county magistrate to prefect. Liu Chen is still good to old officials like them.

……

Liu Chen suddenly remembered something.

In the future, Yuan Shao was afraid of Dong Zhuo and fled the capital. Dong Zhuo, under the persuasion of others, made Yuan Shao the governor of Bohai.

But now, Yuan Shao can go wherever he comes!

Of course, it is not ruled out that Dong Zhuo is disgusting and appoints Yuan Shao as governor of Bohai to let him fight with Liu Chen.

Not long ago, Liu Chen spread the truth about Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, which disgusted Dong Zhuo. I guess this possibility is still very high.

Thinking of this, Liu Chen looked at Huang Zhong

"Huang Zhong!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king appoints you as the captain of Bohai County, taking charge of all military and political power in Bohai!"

"The general will obey!"

Huang Zhong respectfully accepted the order and retired, but he was still very excited.

Thinking about how long ago he had been in Changshan, he had already been promoted two levels in a row.

I thought that for the treatment of his son Huang Xu, he went north to Changshan and gave up his official position. It would be difficult to achieve what he once did. Position.

Unexpectedly, instead of being demoted, his official position was promoted!

Liu Chen's trust and respect for him moved him extremely, and he vowed to do his best for Liu Chen!

……

Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction. Bohai County is guarded by Guo Jia and Huang Zhong. It defends against Youzhou in the north and Qingzhou in the south. There is nothing to fear from Yuan Shao in the future!

Liu Chen felt relieved and then looked at Li Dian and Le Jin!

"Li Dian! Yue Jin!"

The two men stepped forward and shouted in unison:"The general is here!"

"Li Dian and Le Jin, you two have made great contributions to the victory of Zhao County without any blood this time. I will promote you to Army Sima, with Li Dian acting as Grand Administrator and Le Jin acting as County Captain, taking charge of Zhao County's political and military affairs!"

"Thank you, lord! We will fulfill our mission!"

Li Dian and Le Jin looked at each other. They both knelt down on one knee with excitement, raised their hands and shouted.

How long have they just joined Changshan?

Although they were only promoted one level, the positions of Dai Taishou and Dai Jun Duwei explained. , Liu Chen values ​​and trusts them extremely!

As long as they continue to work hard and manage Zhao County in an orderly manner, the word"generation" will be removed soon!

……

"Xun You!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"This king appoints you as the prefect of Wei County and takes charge of all government affairs of Wei County!"

"Subordinates...obey!"

Xun You's heart was filled with turmoil.

He joined Changshan later than everyone else and came with the appointment of"Jizhou Mu".

At the beginning, Liu Chen was trustworthy in employing people and asked him and Wen Chou to lead the troops to take over Wei County. Although there were some His achievements were not enough to appoint the prefect.

But now,

Xun You had mixed feelings in his heart, and he no longer knew how to describe it.

Liu Chen's regard for him, his magnanimity and magnanimity in employing people without doubting others, made Xun You Deep admiration in my heart!

At this moment, Xun You's sense of belonging to Chang Shan and loyalty to Liu Chen were raised to the extreme.

A scholar dies for his confidant. What else is more commendable than meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and being trusted by the Lord?!

…… far away.

Xun Yu looked at this scene and was shocked by Liu Chen's appointment!

Xun Yu and the Xun family first went to Wei County to meet Xun You and learned about the process. Therefore, they knew that Xun You had only joined Changshan for more than half a month.

However.

Liu Chen appointed Xun You to the post of governor based solely on his performance in Wei County. This kind of respect and trust was even higher than when he was in the capital of Luoyang!

Xun Yu was very familiar with Xun You.

At that moment, Xun You had already lost his composure. This was a sign that he was moved and his trust and sense of belonging to Liu Chen had been raised to the extreme!

"King Changshan is indeed worthy of Gongda's service."Xun Yu sighed secretly, feeling happy that his nephew could meet the Lord of the Ming

"Yo! Wen Ruo, look at you, are you a little shocked?"Guo Jia's frivolous voice suddenly sounded beside him, making Xun Yu come back to his senses.

"Fengxiao, is it too rude for you to walk around at such an important ceremony?"

Xun Yu was a humble gentleman, knowledgeable and reasonable. Guo Jia, on the other hand, was completely careless. However, the two of them became close friends.

Guo Jia smiled and said:"My lord will not care about these red tapes!

"On the contrary, Wen Ruo, how is your observation? How about joining Changshan and serving the Lord? You and I, close friends, can just have a good time talking over wine."

_

_

_

_.

In fact, this was the only remaining reserve in Xun Yu's heart!

Liu Chen's excellence made Xun Yu a little unbelievable!

And he came to the military camp just after arriving at Changshan. Changshan, which Xun You once told him Xun Yu has not yet witnessed the rapid changes!

He wants to see the changes in Changshan before making a decision!

Guo Jia has good observation skills and knows Xun Yu very well. He seems to have guessedWhat? He said with a slight smile:"After the reward is over, I will accompany you to visit Changshan!""

"Thank you Fengxiao!"

"You and I are best friends, why should we be polite?"

……

Point on the general platform.

Liu Chen naturally saw Guo Jia walking around casually, with black lines covering his head.

But when he saw Guo Jia running to Xun Yu's side, seemingly poaching for him, he felt very relieved.

"Wen Chou!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king appoints you as General Zhenwu, taking charge of all military and political power in Wei County!"

"The general will obey!"

Wen Chou withdrew with excitement. General Zhenwu was a general with a mixed rank, but he also had a rank of two thousand stones.

It can be said that he and Yan Liang were almost the second-in-command in the army under Zhao Yun!

……

Wei County is adjacent to Chenliu County and Dong County of Yanzhou, Sili Hanoi County, and Shangdang County of Bingzhou. Of course, there are Taihang Mountains between Wei County, Bingzhou, and Sili!

This is also the triangle between the three states, which is extremely important.

Let Xun You and Wen Chou lead the troops to guard it, and you can rest assured.

Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Cheng Yu

"Cheng Yu!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"This king appoints you as the prefect of Julu County, in charge of all government affairs in Julu!"

"Thank you, lord!"

Cheng Yu withdrew with a face of joy.

Their Yanzhou Group was not as good as Zhao Yun and others in joining Liu Chen, but Liu Chen did not favor one over the other. He was a meritocracy and everything was based on military achievements.

This made Cheng Yu very satisfied!

……

"Xu Huang!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king appoints you as the captain of Julu County, in charge of all military affairs in Julu!"

"Thank you, lord!"

Xu Huang stepped back with a look of surprise.

His status was very embarrassing. He was a surrendered general of the Baibo Army. He surrendered after being killed by Zhao Yun with one move.

He thought he would be kept in cold storage for a while, but he didn't expect that Liu Chen would not doubt his employment. , trusting and valuing him extremely much, which made Xu Huang very grateful! He secretly swore in his heart that he would follow Liu Chen in this life and never abandon him!

……

Julu County was once the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. With Cheng Yu and Xu Huang guarding it, there should be no worries!

Liu Chen nodded, then looked at Man Chong and Dian Wei

"Full of favors! Dian Wei!"

"The general/subordinate is here!"The two shouted in unison

"Full of favors! This king appoints you as the prefect of Anping County to take charge of the government affairs of Anping County! Dian Wei! This king appoints you as the captain of Anping County and takes charge of all military affairs of Anping County!"

"General/subordinates obey your orders!"

The two of them also retreated with surprise on their faces.

Although Dian Wei's strategy is poor, his force is unparalleled, and with the cooperation of many favors, the thirteen counties of Anping County will be governed without worries!

……

"Mao Jie!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"This king appoints you as the prefect of Qinghe County and takes charge of all government affairs of Qinghe County!"

"Thank you, lord!"

Mao Jie stepped back with an excited look, her heart pounding, excited for Liu Chen's trust and respect, and for being able to show off her talents!

……

"High view!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king appoints you as the captain of Qinghe County, in charge of all military affairs in Qinghe!"

"Thank you, lord!"

Gao Lan withdrew with excitement on his face.

This time they took over Qinghe without any surprises, without any disturbance. Although there was some resistance, their military achievements could never be upgraded.

Liu Chen still loves these veterans even more!

……

Liu Chen continued to reward him.

All officers and men were rewarded, but not as well as the powerful advisers and generals who led the troops.

Therefore, the soldiers below were very envious of these generals, and their eyes were shining with stars. But the soldiers also understood that this was what they deserved!

After the reward was over, Liu Chen looked at the more than 100,000 soldiers below, and there were still tens of thousands who had not returned.

"You don't need to envy others, you will train hard next, and there will be a big battle waiting for you soon. When the time comes, I will reward you for your merits. I hope to see more soldiers promoted to important positions!"

Liu Chen's words not only did not frighten the soldiers below, but they were all excited and gearing up, waiting for the battle to come.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of Luoyang. Apparently something has been guessed.
