Chapter 507

After Liu Ye defeated Zhang Xun, he did not choose to march into Runan to pacify the southeast in one fell swoop. Instead, he appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, handed over the counties in the southern part of Yuzhou to Liu Bei's jurisdiction, and used Liu Bei as the southern barrier of the Liangzhou army.

Under the advice of many counselors, Liu Ye also knew that the time to go south was not yet ripe. First of all, because Hebei and the Central Plains were not settled at present, Cao Cao had already occupied the entire Central Plains and Hebei when he went south in history, so he dared to go south with confidence.

In fact, after defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had doubts about his choice of strategic direction at that time. Cao Cao was about to transfer his troops to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou. This opportunity calms Hebei in one breath, and then they can go south to Jingzhou.

Although the victory in the Battle of Guandu instantly reversed the strength between Yuan and Cao, it took seven years before and after Cao Cao pacified Hebei in history. It will take a long time to rule the world.

Runan County.

"Brother Xuande, from now on you will be stationed in Yuzhou." Liu Ye smiled and said, "Runan County has been occupied by Yuan Shu rebels for many years, and there are probably many remnants of the Yuan family with evil intentions. You must comfort them. If necessary, thunderbolts can be used to suppress it."

"Thank you, General, Bei will definitely guard the land of Yuzhou for the imperial court." Liu Bei said respectfully.

"Oh, that's right." Liu Ye suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, "The Son of Heaven misses Brother Xuande a lot. It just so happens that Yuzhou has just settled down, and someone predicts that Sun Ce and Cao Cao will not have a big war in a short time, so Xuande is better." Brother will return to Luoyang, how about meeting the emperor?"

Liu Ye's current identity is a relative of the emperor. Although Liangzhou's army is powerful, it would be a bit incompetent to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty on his own. Liu Ye once made a plan for him: "Now Liu Yan occupies Yizhou, Liu Biao dominates the seven counties of Jingxiang, and Liu Bei is the governor of Yuzhou. Most of the world is still in the hands of my clan with the surname Liu. Why don't you order Liu Yizhou to leave Jiameng Pass for Attack Hanzhong, order Liu Jingsheng to go east to beg Sun Ce, and use Liu Bei to see Huainan, our army will send troops to Hebei, will we dominate the world?"

Jia Xu also thinks this strategy is good, but Liu Yan and Liu Biao may not follow it.

Because Liu Biao and Liu Yan are both real relatives of the emperor, and they served in the court long before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, while Liu Ye was actually a miscellaneous product even though he was named the uncle of the emperor because of his contribution to helping the emperor. , Liu Biao and Liu Yan do not necessarily agree with Liu Ye.

Moreover, Jia Xu analyzed: "Liu Jingsheng was controlled by the powerful families in Jingzhou, such as the Kuai family and the Cai family. It’s hard to do anything.”

And Liu Bei is currently Liu Ye's best partner. First of all, the two people have the same background, don’t look at Liu Bei and say when he sees people: Bei is the clan of the Han family. We are relatives. And Liu Ye is also white, and the two have a common background, so they will undoubtedly be closer emotionally.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Ye is much closer than the other two. First of all, Liu Bei and Liu Ye were old comrades-in-arms during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now Liu Bei is Liu Ye's vassal, so he is naturally handy in command.

"Naturally, Bei also wants to see His Majesty, but" Liu Bei said worriedly, "Now that Huainan has just been pacified, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are all staring at him, and Bei is worried that no one will take charge of the overall situation after he leaves."

Seeing this, Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "Didn't elder brother always want to see His Majesty? Yu is willing to guard Yuzhou for elder brother, and elder brother just needs to go."

Zhang Fei said loudly: "That's the case, let the second brother stay in Yuzhou, and I will go with the eldest brother."

"Haha, Brother Yun and Yide are both willing to share the worries of Brother Xuande, I would be very envious." Liu Ye laughed.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will go to Luoyang with the general to meet His Majesty." Liu Bei turned to Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, you don't have to go, stay and train soldiers in Yuzhou with Yun Chang to prepare for the war."

Zhang Fei was puzzled and said, "It's enough for the second brother to stay alone to practice the army. If I don't go with the elder brother, who else will he be?"

"With my uncle here, I have no worries. Besides, Luoyang is under the rule of the general and does not close its doors at night. Is there any danger?"

Behind Liu Bei, a silent young general suddenly came out and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, the second general and the third general. The last general, Chen Dao, will do his best to protect the lord Zhouquan to the death."

Chen arrived?

Liu Ye sized up Chen Dao with curious eyes, while Chen Dao lowered his head slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the great general."

"That's right, where did you come from, and how long have you been in the army?"

"The last general is from Runan. After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he didn't want to be under his rule, so he went to Yingchuan to join the lord." Chen Dao replied.

Although Chen Dao was not mentioned in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he was a brave general of the Shu Han in history. Zhao Yun in "The Romance" can be described as brave and unparalleled. He is full of courage, but this Zhao Yun is actually a combination of Zhao Yun and Chen Dao.

Chen Dao seldom went out to fight, because he served as the captain of Liu Bei's personal guard. He was a figure like Zhou Tai and Dian Wei. The onslaught of the Jiangdong Army successfully escorted Liu Bei and fled to Baidi City.

Liu Ye patted Chen Dao's shoulder appreciatively: "Good boy, work hard, you may not be able to be a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future."

Chen Dao was greatly moved: "I'm terrified, the general is overrated." You must know that Liu Ye is now a general, and it is undoubtedly a good thing to be praised by him. If he is willing to publicize, he will soon be famous all over the world. The two scourges of party imprisonment during the period of Emperor Huan Ling actually had a lot to do with celebrities praising others.

"Chen Dao, what skills do you have?" Zhang Fei snorted, dissatisfied with his inability to protect Liu Bei, so he pointed the finger at Chen Dao.

"Hey!"

Zhang Fei stepped forward and punched Chen Dao in the chest. Chen Dao frowned, raised his arm to parry Zhang Fei's punch, and returned the punch.

"Good boy!"

Zhang Fei cheered, and his fists and feet enveloped Chen Dao like a torrential rain. For a while, his fists were like the wind, and his offensive was like a rainstorm, but Chen Dao was not afraid of danger, and he resolved them one by one. Although he defended more and attacked less, it was just a moment. It can hold up between them.

"Good boy, I have a little kung fu, and my elder brother will leave it to you."
