"Dang ~"

The silver spear landed, and Ma Chao stared at Zhao Yun in front of him, not knowing what it felt for a moment.

I thought that Zhao Yun would be very powerful, but after all, Zhao Yun went to war twice and participated in the battle as a deputy general. The one who is really powerful should be Lu Bu and Huang Zhong. Even if Zhao Yun is powerful, he is not a few years older than him, and it is even more impossible to be much better than him. It is only when he really fought that he was shocked to find that his original cognition and confidence were easily defeated by Zhao Yun.

Without caring too much about Ma Chao's loss, Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Yun who was dismounting from the field, but looked at Liu Xie with some surprise: "Zilong's martial arts skills have become much more exquisite during this trip outside the border. In the past, these seven snail snakes could not be as easy as they are today."

"Is that true?" Liu Xie nodded. He couldn't see any difference, but Zhao Yun knew that his strength had improved.

It's not just Zhao Yun. This time, the eight thousand iron cavalry crossed the frontier, Lu Bu's strength has made great progress, and Wei Yan has also entered the threshold of a top-notch military general. Zhao Yun is not as blessed by various talents, and now his martial power has increased to 98 points.

Don’t think that it’s just a two-point improvement, but when you reach the top level, if you don’t have special opportunities, you may be stuck at that level for the rest of your life and cannot make progress. Although from the data, Wei Yan’s progress is much greater than Zhao Yun, in fact, when you reach Zhao Yun’s level, it’s more difficult to make progress than to cross a realm before, because you are infinitely close to the limit, and Wei Yan is still a little far from the limit.

Zhao Yun had already returned to Liu Xie's side. At this moment, everyone discovered Liu Xie's arrival and hurried to greet him.

"Report~"

At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded outside the martial arts hall. A palace guard rushed over and rushed straight into the martial arts hall. Before the people arrived, the voice had already come from afar: "Your Majesty, Hanoi is a great victory!"

"Oh?" Liu Xie's eyes moved and he quickly let someone go.

"Your Majesty, Hanoi is victorious!" The guard excitedly handed a silk letter to Liu Xie and said, "Yang Feng, Leju, Hu Cai's head has been sent back to the court, and General Zhu Jun's army will return to the court soon."

This was the second time that Yang Feng raised his troops to attack Chang'an. The last time was when Li Jue and Guo Si were in power. Yang Feng led his troops to attack and was repelled by Xu Huang. That battle made Xu Huang and Fang Sheng.

But this time, it responded to Han Sui's quarrel and joined forces with the Xiliang Army to attack. However, he underestimated the development of the court over the past year, and he did not expect Han Sui to be defeated so quickly. Not only was he defeated by Zhu Jun, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others, but this time, Liu Xie was not prepared to let him continue to be arrogant in front of him.

Hanoi is also an important town around Jingzhao and Sili. It is a brilliant place, with a fertile land of hundreds of miles and a large population. It has been occupied by the Baibo thieves over the years. It is not a glorious thing for the court. It is just that Yang Feng and others have been entrenched in Hanoi for many years, and with the help of favorable terrain and city benefits, if they attack in forcing them, they will be left with ruins, which is naturally not the result that Liu Xie wants.

This time, taking advantage of Han Sui's opportunity to raise troops, Liu Xie deliberately made an empty position in the court and led the Baibo bandits to attack. It was also Yang Feng's thief who was indestructible and actually raised his troops to attack. Zhu Jun, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others who had already been arranged by Liu Xie were defeated and fled back to Hanoi in a panic.

But this time, Liu Xie did not simply let Yang Feng go. Thirty thousand imperial soldiers rushed into Hanoi. For Yang Feng, who had lost his troops, it was a little worse. Seeing that Yang Feng lost his power, the counties in Hanoi changed their flags and turned against each other and surrendered. In the end, Yang Feng and Leju were besieged in Baibo Valley, and after several months of storm, they were surrounded and killed by Zhu Jun.

However, Zhu Jun was too determined to kill. According to Liu Xie's intention, as long as he killed the evil spirit, Baibo soldiers, it would be better to surrender the ones that could surrender. However, from the beginning to the end, the 40,000 Baibo thieves, who had escaped their lives after the defeat, almost no one else survived. This made Liu Xie a little dissatisfied. The population of the Han Dynasty has withered so far, and he wanted to live a more population. If he continued to fight in Zhu Jun's way, even if he finally unified the world, there would be not many people left in the world.

"Return to the palace." After reading the letter, Liu Xie took a deep breath, said goodbye to Tong Yuan, and walked back with Zhao Yun and Wei Zhong.

No matter what, the great victory in Hanoi was a major event for the court. When we got to Hanoi, it means that the road from Chang'an to Luoyang was completely opened.

When Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, although the reasons for the Eastern Princes were also because the White Bo thieves were lingering here, making it difficult to connect between Chang'an and Luoyang, and they might have cut off their retreat at any time. In addition, they were repeatedly considered to move the capital to Chang'an.

Now that Hanoi has been abandoned, it also represents the influence of the imperial court and can spread to Luoyang.

Zhao Yun returned to the military camp, and Liu Xie asked Wei Zhong to attract Guo Jia. Luoyang was the Eastern Han Dynasty after all. Although a fire made Chang'an a ruin, this place not only had crucial significance for the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In terms of strategy, taking down Luoyang also means that the court can look at Guandong and further increase its influence on the Guandong princes.

"Your Majesty wants to rebuild Luoyang?" Guo Jia was almost dragged out of the quilt by Wei Zhong and Niu Geng, and his hair was a little fluffy. After hearing Liu Xie's words, he couldn't help but smile.

"After all, it is the former capital, and the Sili area is of great significance to the Han Dynasty." Liu Xie nodded. Although Liu Xie's current business focus is on the northwest, it does not mean that Luoyang is not important.

"It's very important, but I think that Your Majesty can appoint one person as the Sili School Captain, and restore the people's livelihood in the Sili area, but you cannot station troops." Guo Jia thought for a while and said.

"Why?" Liu Xie frowned.

"The truth is actually not difficult." Guo Jia sat on the chair and looked at Liu Xie and said, "If Your Majesty stationed troops in Luoyang at this time, Your Majesty thinks that how many troops can be garrisoned, which can intimidate the princes of the world?"

After Liu Xie heard this, he thought about it and found that it was really hard to decide. If it was less, it would be difficult to achieve the effect. Luoyang was connected to the north and south. In other words, it was a place where the enemy was attacked from all sides. Yuan Shu in the direction of Nanyang, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were in the east, and Bingzhou not everyone was facing the court. If you really wanted to garrison everywhere, it would not be enough to fill the court's current troops. Moreover, even if Liu Xie threw all the troops into it, there would be problems with the supply of grain and grass. Although there were fertile land in the Luoyang area, there was not much population after the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. When the army was stationed, it was impossible for them to farm. Even if it was a military camp, it would be difficult to support it. It was necessary to rely on Chang'an to provide support. The loss in transportation alone was enough to make Liu Xie, who had just had some surplus grain, cried to death.

But if there are too few troops garrisons, it is difficult to have a shocking impression.

"What do Fengxiao have to say?" Liu Xie rubbed his temples, and then realized that even if he took down Hanoi and the Sili area was unobstructed, it would not be much meaning to him.

"One Sili lieutenant, plus five hundred military farms, is enough." Guo Jia smiled.

"It's too few, right?" Liu Xie frowned. Five hundred people were still military farms. Not to mention the princes attacking, even if some bandits and bandits united, they could swallow them up.

"If you don't worry about the public security in the country, there is no need to send 500 military farms, only a few dozen soldiers." Guo Jia smiled and said, "What Your Majesty wants to do is to declare the sovereignty of Luoyang and belong to the court. If any princes dares to invade Luoyang at this time, they will be a big flaw in the world. Although today's chaos, they are restraining each other and there is no one in power. At this moment, anyone except Your Majesty, who will become an excuse for the princes to attack in great justice."

This is also one of the reasons why no one dared to extend his hand to Luoyang over the years. Even if he is as brave as Yuan Shu, he is only a short distance from Luoyang to invite him, but he dared not send anyone to occupy Luoyang.

Once Luoyang is occupied, it will become the target of public criticism. Not only will the princes attack, but they may even be ashamed of themselves and deviate from their hearts.

"Your Majesty only needs to send someone with good internal affairs. It is best to have some virtues in Luoyang, serve as the lieutenant of the Sili School, use work instead of relief, collect refugees from all over the world, and develop slowly. As for whether the princes will invade, there is no need to worry too much."

When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, but then he had a headache. He had to be proficient in internal affairs and fame. In fact, he also had to understand some military strategy. If the princes around him really had abnormal movements, there were not many people who could be aware of them in time. It seemed that there were not many people under Liu Xie who could stand alone.

Looking at Guo Jia's expression that seemed to be frivolous, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Since Fengxiao said this, I must have a candidate in my heart. Let me explain it to you."

"Your Majesty, what do you think, General Zhu Jun?" Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie and said with a smile.

"Zhu Jun?" Liu Xie frowned. Zhu Jun was both literary and military, and had experience in governing the country. He was also a famous general during the reign of Emperor Ling. When he was conquering the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian were all listened to him under his tent. He had great ability, was capable enough, and had enough prestige. He was a suitable candidate, but this person had too much murderous intention, which made Liu Xie a little disliked.

"I think Fengxiao thinks he is suitable?" After a moment, Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and said in a stern manner.

After all, it is related to national affairs and cannot be decided by personal preference.

"There is only Zhu Jun who can be the position in the court. Originally, General Huangfu Song was also suitable, but General Huangfu Song is now in Hetao. Among the other officials, except Zhu Jun, there is no second choice." Guo Jia nodded, not sure why Liu Xie was disgusted with Zhu Jun, but he nodded and said that in the court, except Zhu Jun has this ability and prestige, even Yang Biao, who is the third duke, may not be able to suppress Luoyang in the past.
