Chapter 317: Lu Bu, the governor of Youzhou

Liu Yu was sick, and he was very sick.

This Han clan, who has never appeared several times in the Romance and always feels weak in his attitude towards foreign races, showed a rare tough attitude after his later years, which surprised many people.

Of course, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not have glasses...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand why Liu Yu was weak to the Xianbei.

There were foreign races outside and Yuan Shao was eyeing him inside, and the court could not provide enough support. This made Liu Yu, who was loyal to the Han court, very embarrassed. No matter what, as the former Han family ruler, he had to raise a banner representing the Han family. No matter who is the emperor, what Liu Yu had to do was to grasp Youzhou firmly.

In fact, before Liu Yu died, Youzhou was indeed in peace.

Lu Zhi once said to Dong Qi: "Bo An is not at the right time. If he is governing the world, he will be a person who can expand his territory. Unfortunately, Bo Gui is strong and only knows how to solve problems by force, but he does not know that hardness and softness are the best way to match hardness and softness. Since Bo Gui is strong and strong, Bo An can only appear in a weak posture, but he is very bloody in his bones."

Bo'an is Liu Yu's face.

Of course, there are not many people in the world who can call it the word "动" and Lu Zhi is one of them.

Gongsun Zan was arrogant and in order to maintain the stability of Youzhou, Liu Yu had to show his cowardice, but this does not mean that Liu Yu was a coward. According to Lu Zhi, Liu Yu also had an extremely iron-blooded side in his bones.

Gongsun Zan is dead, Lu Bu is here...

Liu Yu knew very well that to shock the Xianbei, people like Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu must not be left behind in Youzhou.

Moreover, from the actual situation, accepting Lu Bu is one of the few good moves that Liu Yu has made. After a long period of ups and downs in the court, Liu Yu's way of winning over people was not comparable to Dong Zhuoding. He was able to clean up the huge Lu Bu and obey him.

Lu Bu seems arrogant, but in fact he is extremely inferior in his heart.

First, he has the blood of the Hu people, and second, he was born in the frontier. These two points are enough to make Lu Bu feel inferior.

Sometimes, the more inferior you are, the more arrogant you show.

Such people will be rampant when they are proud, and will be depressed when they are frustrated.

Liu Yu regarded Lu Bu as his parent-child, and in military terms, he completely let him go and gave him enough trust and respect to Lu Bu.

This kind of treatment has never been received even by Dong Zhuo.

How could Lu Bu express his gratitude to Liu Yu in words?

At the beginning of the first year of Xingping, Lu Bu appointed Liu Yu as his adoptive father, and Liu Yu was even more intimate with Lu Bu and specially invited Wei You, a famous Youzhou scholar who had retired and returned home to help Lu Bu.

Wei You, whose courtesy name is Taichu, served as the Dongcao clerk of Liu Yu, and was a very capable person.

Even Lu Bu's planner Tian Chou was taught under Wei You's disciple. He was talented in literature and martial arts, and his vision and mind were praised by Liu Yu: "A noble and lofty man."

Lu Bu was not well educated, but he was convinced by those with good learning.

Being able to accept Wei You's guidance and support is definitely an unimaginable blessing for Lu Bu.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu felt more and more that Liu Yu was good to him, and that the only thing he could repay was to serve him to the death.

After defeating Yuan Shao, Liu Yu had a sense of happiness he had never experienced before.

He held a banquet to congratulate the generals of Youzhou, and even drank a few more drinks at the banquet. He also warmed up with the newly-acquisitioned concubine that night.

But after all, he is old!

Not long after, Liu Yu fell ill, and his condition became more and more serious, and he ended up in terminal illness.

It was July, and although it was already the beginning of autumn, the tigers were raging in autumn. By noon, the temperature was particularly high.

But a brazier was lit in the bedroom.

Liu Yu lay on the couch, his face was sallow and yellow, without any blood, and he looked haggard, as if he was withered.

He was covered with a thick quilt, and the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Several servants stood respectfully, and an old man sat on the brocade stool beside the couch, with a serious expression. He put his hands on Liu Yu's wrist and his eyes slightly closed.

"Taichu, my disease..."

"Boan, don't think about it all, it's just a minor problem... I'm old, it's always inevitable...just adjust it."

Liu Yu coughed gently, "Why should Taichu hide it from me? I know my own illness, I am afraid I can't get through it."

"Boan..."

"Taichu, listen to me. I'm a little dead, but Youzhou cannot be without a master for a day. Although Xuanwu is my son, he is too weak to inherit my mantle and guard Youzhou. Instead of not having to die well in the future, it's better to let him live in his hometown safely...Taichu, I plan to let Fengxian lead Youzhou on my behalf. I wonder what your idea is?"

Xuanwu was Liu He, the son of Liu Yu. In terms of comparison, he was also the uncle of Emperor Liu Xie of Han, and now he is still in Chang'an.

Why in Chang'an?

It turned out that when Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong released Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou, he said he trusted him, but in fact, Liu Hong was afraid that no one could trust him at that time. Therefore, although Liu Yu was released, Liu Yu's son Liu He stayed in Luoyang.

The official is a servant, and to put it bluntly, he is a hostage.

After Dong Zhuo was killed, Liu He followed Emperor Han Liu Xie, and was held hostage by Li Jue and Guo Si, and went from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Li and Guo were quite good to Liu He. After all, Liu He was the emperor's uncle and I was a prince. Li and Guo Wen were not fools. He always maintained great kindness in his contact with Liu Yu, so Liu He lived a pretty good life.

Wei You was shocked and looked at Liu Yu blankly, almost unable to believe his ears.

Since ancient times, it is natural for a father to pass on his son. But unexpectedly, Liu Yu wanted to hand over his huge foundation to an outsider.

Liu Yu said: "It is inevitable that Taichu is strange. If the world is peaceful, I will naturally give up the position of governor of this state to Xuanwu. This child is weak and it is impossible to expand his territory, but it is still qualified to be a successful person. But now, the Han Dynasty is turbulent and the world is in chaos. If there is no strong master, Youzhou will sooner or later become a wasteland."

As he spoke, Liu Yu grabbed Wei You's hand.

"Fengxian is brave and brave, with fields outside and Fu Xun inside, and with Taichu's help, he can defend Youzhou. My life was very impressed by Fengxian, so that Youzhou would not be divided. Maintaining the integrity of Youzhou, he would have the opportunity to restore the Han Dynasty in the future."

Wei You had no words.

"Besides, I will give the governor of the state to Fengxian, and Fengxian will definitely not treat Xuanwu unfairly... Taichu, I will ask you for this matter. I plan to let the governor of the state be located in Fengxian in ten days and announce it to the world. But I will also have to trouble you to draft this document."

Wei You nodded, "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter well."

At this time, Lu Bu was still staying at Wuruan Pass.

Wei You sent someone to notify Lu Bu overnight and ordered him to rush back to Ji County as soon as possible to accept the position of prefectural governor.

After hearing the news, Lu Bu stood in a daze in the hall with a letter, his mind blank.

*******

When Dong Qiu received the news, he didn't react for a while.

It has been August and the weather has begun to turn cooler. The autumn is clear and cool, and it is a great time, and Zhangye is another harvest year.

There is no exaggeration to say that there is a good harvest.

The harvest this fall has increased by at least 30% to 40% compared with previous years, which is indeed good news for the Western Regions, where the population is increasing. This increase is largely due to the promotion of experimental fields. Last year, Dong Qi applied artificial fertilizers to a piece of land, making the crops on that piece of land obviously better than other places. Therefore, after the beginning of spring, Feiwo opened 300,000 hectares of land with Juyancheng as the center, and cultivated according to the method mentioned by Dong Qi.

After all, it is a new concept. Even if Dong Qi's experimental field is successful, it must be carried out carefully.

The 300,000 hectares of land are just a drop in the bucket for the entire Hexi, but the benefits brought by surprise to many people.

This year, there will be good weather and no disasters.

With the chaotic Liangzhou and even the Three Auxiliary Land, the four counties in Hexi and the Western Regions... have become a paradise on earth.

Dong Qi has made up his mind to fully implement the plan for the experimental field in Dichi next year.

It is being rebuilt. The master craftsman who supervised the construction of it is Jiang Jie, who is from Tianshui, Hanyang County. With that great migration, Dong Qi came to Zhangye. This man learned martial arts when he was a young man, but later abandoned martial arts and followed the literature, but he did not become martial arts, so he turned his interest to other aspects, and had studied institutional casting, medical skills, and even worked as a veterinarian.

After arriving in Zhangye, Jiang Jie became Feiwo's assistant because he could read and write, and had some understanding of all aspects. However, his talent began to be revealed at this time.

Jiang Jie can't do it if he is alone.

But when you arrange everything properly and let Jiang Jie execute it step by step, this person will often do better.

Therefore, when its Qiancheng was recaptured, Feiwo recommended Jiang Jie to Dong Qi and ordered him to rebuild its Qiancheng.

Of course, the Qiancheng can no longer be called the Qiancheng, which has very obvious traces of Kucha people. Dong Qi has decided to completely erase Kucha from the Western Regions, so naturally he will not let the name Qiancheng appear on the map again.

The Western Regions were the frontier of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Qi was the guardian of the Western Regions, and his responsibilities included guarding the border. Therefore, Qiancheng was renamed Shuxian and the place where Dong Qi was governed. It echoed with Wang Zhihan'an City, and sat in the center of the Western Regions, shocked all ethnic groups and promoted the might of the Han army.

At this moment, Dong Qi sat upright in the county government office, with two documents placed in front of him.

"Liu Yu's move will be a headache for Yuan Benchu."

Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "It seems that we have misread Liu Yu before. This person not only knows the current affairs, but also has great methods."

As Dong Qi's army, Zhuge Jin arrived in the county with him.

Li Ru was in charge of Juyancheng, and Jia Xu was busy relocating the capital and could not come for the time being. And there was also someone around Dong Qi who could give advice. Although Zhuge Jin was young, it was enough to join the army.

Dong Qi did not expect that Lu Bu would take over the leadership of Youzhou's governor.

Sometimes, history is really interesting, and the identity of the three-family slaves, Lu Bu, was not lost in the end.

However, Lu Bu now seems to be very different from Lu Bu in the Romance of Legends. Moreover, judging from Lu Bu's attitude, he is still a pro-Dong family.

Lu Bu took over Youzhou. As Zhuge Jin said, Yuan Shao might really feel a headache!

Dong Qi did not put too much attention on Lu Bu, but another document made him feel bored.

"What is the origin of this Gongsun Du? What does it have to do with Gongsun Zan?"

Hua Xiong scratched his head and replied, "Gongsun Du... It seems that he has a good relationship with Xu Rong, and the two are fellow villagers. This person has been serving under Dafang's command. When the lord sent troops to Shuofang, the old master sent Gongsun Du to govern Liaodong because the Liaodong was not very stable. First, he was recommended by Xu Rong, and second, this person is very familiar with Liaodong."

"But... why did he fight with Fan Chou?"
