Hetao, Jiluzhai.

Since Lu Bu's eight thousand iron cavalry swept across the west of Yinshan, there has been no major war on the frontier. I heard that Fang Sheng was doing well in the Dunhuang area and fought almost every few days. In comparison, Xu Huang, the general who guarded Hetao, found that he had gained some weight recently.

Although the war in Luoyang has not yet begun, it has become known to everyone. Seeing that a big war is about to begin, he can only stay in the border. Xu Huang sometimes wonders, has His Majesty forgotten him?

After silently coming to the courtyard, Xu Huang lifted up the axe that the Ministry of Works recently smelted for him. This was at the end of the year. Liu Xie sent someone to send him a gift. Xu Huang was moved at that time. He heard that this axe took a whole year just to cast. The style was made based on the Xuanhua axe he used to, but the weight was heavier, the appearance was more domineering, and most importantly, it was more convenient.

Since joining Liu Xie, Xu Huang found that he seemed to have entered the second stage of growth. His martial arts, which had originally thought that it had reached its limit, actually began to make breakthroughs. The weight of Xuanhua Axe in the past was gradually no longer available. This weapon of Tiangang Axe, which was named by Liu Xie, came at the right time for Xu Huang.

Unfortunately, even so, no one is trying to test it out for themselves!

Silently sighed, Xu Huang began the martial arts training he had to do every day. Putting aside other things, Xu Huang actually lived a good life in this border area. Kuitou pays a lot of money to the court every year. As a border general, Xu Huang also has a share. This is not a bribery. Xu Huang once asked Liu Xie for instructions, and Liu Xie also said that since the other party wants to give it to him, he should keep it, and there is no need to worry.

In addition, the craftsmen sent by the court have renovated Jilu Village in the past two years. There will be one of them here, which makes Xu Huang know that Liu Xie has not really forgotten him. However, no matter how comfortable life is, as a general, he cannot fight on the battlefield, so he is still a general. Xu Huang is a little embarrassed to be a coward.

"Report~" a small school rushed in from outside the gate and shouted to Xu Huang from a distance.

"What's the matter?" Xu Huang shook the Tiangang Axe to the ground, and the entire garden was shaken.

"There is an envoy from the court who asked for his visit outside the door." Xiaoxiao bowed and said.

"Oh?" Xu Huang's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Please hurry!"

"Here!" Xiaoxiao agreed and ran away. Xu Huang excitedly put the Tiangang deputy on the weapon stand, straightened his clothes and strode outward.

There were only three people who came, each covering their bodies in black robes, unable to see clearly. The person in the lead had an extremely tall figure. Xu Huang was already very tall, but the other party was one head taller than him.

"Three are..." Xu Huang frowned slightly. What kind of court envoy is this dress?

The person in charge suddenly turned a gold medal in his hand, and the five-clawed golden dragon was engraved on it. This was the token used by Liu Xie, called the True Dragon Order. Seeing the order is like seeing people.

Xu Huang's face turned solemn and wanted to salute, but saw the other party rolling his hands and taking back the True Dragon Order, and glanced at the little school indifferently.

Xu Huang understood and said to the little school: "You retreat first, and at the same time, the mansion is in a martial law. No one is allowed to approach this ten feet of land!"

"Here!" He glanced at the three of them in confusion. Xu Huang's orders were not to be disobeyed. He immediately stepped down and arranged for martial law.

"I don't know the three are..." After the school left, Xu Huang clasped his fists slightly and frowned.

The leader took off the black robe above his head, revealing a strong and rebellious face. Xu Huang was shocked when he saw this and bowed quickly and said, "The last general Xu Huang, please see General Hunting."

The person coming was Lu Bu! Didn’t he follow His Majesty and prepare to fight against the princes? What does it mean to appear here at this time?

"Gongming is not a gift." Lu Bu waved his hand and sat in the main seat with Xu Huang's humility. As for the two people beside Lu Bu, Xiahou Lan and Xu Huang knew each other, but there was no impression on the other one.

"This is Li Yan and Li Zhengfang. I will follow me this time to take over the position of Hetao Prefect of General Huangfu. The old general is old after all, and Hetao is calm now. Your Majesty asked Zhengfang to come to take over the position of the old general prefect, and the old general will return to the court to serve as the position of Taiwei." Lu Bu pointed at Li Yan.

Xu Huang and Li Yan greeted each other, and Xu Huang bowed to Lu Bu and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has orders for the last general?"

"Yes." Lu Bu nodded with a complicated expression, looked at Xu Huang with a happy expression, and asked, "I wonder if there is a candidate under General Xu's command who can replace the position of general? Jilu Village is the key village in Hetao. Although the Huns are now subdued by our dynasty, they must be guarded."

"There is a person under the tent of the general. He has some connection with Marquis Wen. Although this person is young, he is enough to just guard a village." Xu Huang bowed and said.

"Oh? Who?" Lu Bu said with great interest.

"This person's name is Hao Zhao, and his name is Bodao. He is from Taiyuan. He was originally a military marquis under the tent of Marquis Wen. Later, the last general was ordered to station in Hetao. This person was also assigned to the last general and was very good at defending the city. He is now in the position of guarding the Xiongnu school lieutenant and replacing the last general, which is more than enough." Xu Huang said with a smile.

When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded faintly. He was just a military marquis. People in this world who were not at a certain level could not catch his eye. However, after all, he was a fellow villager. Lu Bu was somewhat relieved and smiled and said, "It's good that Gong Ming handed over the military affairs to this person as soon as possible and accompanied Zheng Fang to replace General Huangfu. As for what arrangements will be made after Zheng Fang takes over the position of prefect, I will explain them in detail with you!"

"The last general will receive the order!" Although Xu Huang was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions. He agreed and said, "I wonder if he had ever brought an edict?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I have already brought it to you, please check it out."

As he said that, taking out Liu Xie's edict from his arms was the rule of the court. No matter how high his identity was, as long as there was no Liu Xie's edict, local generals would never accept anyone's orders, even if it was Liu Xie's father-in-law Lu Bu.

After confirming the edict, Xu Huang said: "I will arrange this until I will accompany you to Linrong later."

Linrong is the capital of Hetao County, nearly 300 miles away from Jilu Village. However, Lu Bu and the other two did not go to Linrong first, but found themselves first. Among them, there might be important things that are related to the disputes within the court. Xu Huang did not think too much about it. Anyway, he was promoted by Liu Xie. As long as there was Liu Xie's edict, he would do whatever he did.

Li Yan smiled and said, "According to the court's tip, the Huangfu family recruited a lot of people in the Linrong area, about 3,000 people, distributed in all directions. This time, General Gongming would be better prepared for the trip to Linrong."

Three thousand!?

When Xu Huang heard this, he couldn't help but say that the total number of soldiers and horses in the Hetao area was only 10,000, and the Huangfu family recruited 3,000 private guards. What are they trying to do!

Until now, Xu Huang also noticed the seriousness of the problem and nodded solemnly: "I will arrange this."

Lu Bu stood up and was not bad at the military general who was the first to follow Liu Xie. Lu Bu was not easy to neglect it. He clasped his fists and said, "My whereabouts are confidential and should not be disclosed to the outside world. During this period, I will stay here temporarily. After the official takes office, Gongming will come back and explain something else."

"Here!" Xu Huang bowed to accept the order, and at this moment he wished he could fly to Linrong to help Li Yan pass the imperial edict.

...

Five days later, Linrong and the county government.

Huangfu Song looked at the letters from Yang Biao and sighed slowly. After decades, is the battle between the aristocratic families and the imperial power going to begin again?

At that time, Emperor Ling wanted to balance the aristocratic family with the relatives and eunuchs, but unfortunately He Jin was rebelled by the aristocratic family. Or He Jin himself didn't know what happened. A large number of famous scholars joined him, which made He Jin a little arrogant. Unconsciously, he was guided by the aristocratic family and stood on the side of the scholars and became the representative of the scholars. It has to be said that Yuan Wei's plan was very clever back then, but now, Yang Biao wanted to re-use the same trick. Will this plan be successful when he used Lu Bu?

When Zi was not the late emperor today, Lu Bu was not He Jin either. The most important thing is that when Zi's grasp of military power today made Huangfu Song feel a little disappointed. In the past two years in Hetao, he had tried to interfere in military affairs, but Liu Xie's military system may have many obstacles to the implementation of Chang'an and cannot be fully implemented, but it was too easy to implement it in this Hetao area. After several interventions, he returned in vain. Even Xu Huang was easy to mobilize the army, but it was difficult to instigate the army.

This is the horror of today. He will use rules to change people's hearts little by little. Not to mention whether he could have a rift between Lu Bu and the emperor like he did when he was dealing with He Jin. Even if he could, then so what? At most, he would just let Lu Bu play the stage drama with Liu Xie. In fact, although Lu Bu was the general of the cavalry and was responsible for training and conquest on weekdays, the military power was always in the hands of Liu Xie. There was no problem with small-scale mobilization, but without Liu Xie's nod, even Lu Bu could not be transferred.

Responding to Yuan Shao, ready to enter Luoyang to serve the king at any time. Looking at the contents of the letter, Huangfu Song smiled bitterly. He had collected a lot of private guards in the past two years, but the troops of only 3,000 people were of use. What's the use of this place? This place is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. When he leads his troops there, the winners and losses have been decided, so what's the use of himself?

Sometimes, Huangfu Song always felt that General Yang Biao was too idealistic in military affairs. Not to mention anything else, if he really had actions, Xu Huang would not react at all? This is a good general, neither martial arts nor commander. Even if his troops are of the same strength, he may not be able to beat him, let alone only 3,000 people?

Alas ~

Huangfu Song threw the letter into the brazier bitterly. He originally took the initiative to ask for orders to come to Hetao to avoid the struggle between the aristocratic family and the imperial power. Unexpectedly, he still failed to avoid it in the end.

"Report~" A general suddenly rushed in and said anxiously: "Master, the young master has been arrested!"
