After Zhuge Liang left the palace, he did not go home, but immediately went to the official residence of Wei Wei Xu Shu.

As a guard, Xu Shu was not only responsible for the security of the palace, in charge of ceremonial weapons and other matters, but also responsible for commanding the intelligence and rumor work of the guard office.

The two met at the Ministry of Health, and Zhuge Liang was not polite and directly stated his intentions.

"Brother Xu, Liang has come here because of important family and national affairs, and I need your help."

Xu Shu seemed to have guessed Zhuge Liang's intention, and said, "Your Majesty, you want to use the Guard Station, right?"

Zhuge Liang was filled with admiration when he saw that Xu Shu had revealed his intention in one word.

It is indeed unique for him to be entrusted with important tasks by Liu Qi at such a young age.

"Your Majesty has Yuan Tan and Zhao Yun training the cavalry camp together in the capital today, and has handed over all the subsequent matters concerning Yuan to Liang. However, without the help of the Guards Department, it will be difficult to accomplish."

Xu Shu was a very smart man. He understood that Zhuge Liang used the Guard Agency to target the puppet dynasty in Yecheng, far away in Hebei Province. The most powerful thing about the Guard Agency was that they could make good use of rumors and rumors to confuse people's minds.

No matter what era you are in, those who can control the right to speak and the direction of public opinion are basically equal to half the success.

Half of the country is people, and the other half is the mouths of these people.

"What kind of rumors does your Majesty want the people from the Guards Department to spread in Hebei?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty asked Yuan Tan to train troops for him, not because of Yuan Tan's ability, but because he wanted to release a message to outsiders, that is, Your Majesty has a broad mind and can tolerate all directions, even hostages can use their talents."

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, do you want the people in the Guards Department to use this matter to publicize His Majesty's magnanimity and benevolence?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "That's exactly it."

Xu Shu was a little confused and said: "There is nothing wrong with promoting His Majesty's benevolence and broad-mindedness...but Xu doesn't quite understand, what are the disadvantages of this matter for the Yuan family?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I won't see any disadvantages for the time being, but for some things, as time goes by, the more rumors... the taste will slowly change. Rumors are something that everyone

The content that is passed to the next person's mouth is different. The more people pass it on, the more the content changes."

Xu Shu had been leading the Guard Agency for several years, so he naturally understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words.

He even understood the truth better than Zhuge Liang.

"In that case, it all depends on your order."

…

Yuan Tan trained troops with Zhao Yun in Luoyang and received a salary of two thousand dan. With this common style, the Guards Department began to publicize Liu Qi's benevolence, wisdom and martial arts among the people.

At the same time, a new word representing Liu Qi began to be widely circulated among the people: The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great.

Through this incident, Liu Qi naturally became a representative of the wise emperor.

Yuan Tan is not just a showy person, he really has real abilities.

Zhao Yun and Yuan Tan trained troops together and found that Yuan Tan could be regarded as a strong general in training troops, especially in training cavalry.

Among his own troops, in Zhao Yun's opinion, there are not many who can be said to be completely superior to Yuan Tan in terms of troop training.

Less than twenty days after Yuan Tan and Zhao Yun trained their troops, Liu Qi held a military exercise in the suburbs of Luoyang, and these newly formed camps in Beijing were the protagonists of this military exercise.

Today's establishment of Luoyang City, in addition to preserving the previous system of the Northern Army's Five Battalions, the Southern Army has also added the same organization as the Northern Army's Fifth Battalion, and is called the "Northern Five Battalions" and "Southern Five Battalions."

In this military exercise, the performance of the Nantun Cavalry Battalion trained by Zhao Yun and Yuan Tan was particularly impressive. Their tactics and coordination not only included the traditional tactics of the Han cavalry, but also included some of the Xianbei cavalry in the north.

The grassland warfare model impressed the Jingzhou generals, most of whom were from the south.

After the military exercise, Liu Qi emphatically praised the Nantun Cavalry Camp and issued an order to reward the officers of the Fifth Nantun Battalion. He also gave Shu brocade robes, fine iron pocket armor and long spears to Zhao Yun and Yuan Tan as rewards.

At the same time, on the evening of the end of the military exercise, Liu Qi also rewarded the three armies on the outskirts of Luoyang with a banquet and generous rewards to the generals.

That night, many military schools with more than 600 stones in the army specially toasted to Yuan Tan to express their respect for Yuan Tan. Many people were full of praise for Yuan Tan's military training skills, but no one looked at him with any color.

To see him.

Even Huang Zhong, the number one general of the Han Dynasty, did not hesitate to praise Yuan Tan.

That night, Yuan Tan seemed to have found an unprecedented feeling... that is, the feeling of being superior to others.

That night, he fell into a deep drunken state in the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

…

At the same time, rumors in Luoyang about Liu Qi's appointment of Yuan Tan quickly spread to Yecheng.

To a certain extent, Liu Qi gained a good reputation because of this incident, but he gave the puppet emperor Liu Zhuan and Prime Minister Yuan Shao a loud slap in the face.

Although it was just a small matter, to a certain extent, this incident made the Yecheng government's ambition and courage far behind that of Luoyang.

Especially after the Guardian Agency spread rumors among the people and added fuel to the flames, Liu Qi's momentum reached a peak to a certain extent.

After Yuan Shao learned about this, he was furious.

He took the case in the palace and angrily scolded Yuan Tan for being a fool for allowing Liu Qi to drive him, leaving his own regime passive.

Sadly, when Yuan Shao first sent Yuan Tan to Luoyang, he was full of reluctance for his son, and at the same time he felt that he owed his eldest son.

But now, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to beat this blind son back into his mother's womb.

Of course, Yuan Shao was just out of temper at the moment. When things calmed down later, he wouldn't blame Yuan Tan so much.

However, even though he didn't want to complain about Yuan Tan, some people would not let this opportunity go.

For example, Yuan Shao's second wife, for example, the local forces in Jizhou headed by Shen Pei.

During the three-day court meeting, Shaofu Chen Lin advised Emperor Liu Zhuan that Luoyang's side was already lagging behind Liu Qi's side in this regard because Liu Qi favored Yuan Tan, which made Liu Qi's reputation soar.

On the other hand, Chen Lin advised the emperor to treat Liu Cong in the same way in order to shock the emperor's reputation.

But Chen Lin's advice made many ministers feel inappropriate.

First of all, what can Liu Cong do?

In terms of status, Liu Cong is the Zongzheng of Luoyang. Although he has a high status...but this position is to control the emperor's relatives and his relatives.

If Liu Cong is allowed to enter Zongzheng's mansion...that's not the case.

The Yecheng and Luoyang governments were in opposition to each other, and each called the other a puppet dynasty.

Now if Yecheng allows a brother of the puppet emperor to enter their Zongzheng Mansion to help in charge of the investigation of the legitimate royal bloodline...

Isn't it a joke if fakes are allowed to manage genuine products?
