I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 316 Gimmick ([-])

Yu Xu knew Liu Long very well, so after Liu Long finished speaking these words, he understood Liu Long's innermost thoughts.

This guy, this His Majesty, doesn't want to reuse Chen Chan. This is just to find a reason for himself not to go back.

And Liu Long's next words seemed to prove this point.
"I have said it before. Although neither the Queen Mother nor I said anything explicitly, the Queen Mother hopes that she can stabilize the court, and then in the end, she can protect the future and descendants of the Deng family.

And I cannot allow her to remain indifferent.

Therefore, getting this military power is the price, and the Han Dynasty has a lot of military power.

The soldiers and horses of local counties were in the hands of the governors of various state capitals, while the central Forbidden Army camps were in the hands of Deng Huben and the generals.

To put it simply, these military powers are in the hands of the Deng family.

I admit that they have no intention of rebelling now.

But you should also know very well that this group of people will not hand over their military power to me obediently. Do you think there is anything wrong with what I said? "

"Your Majesty understands, so I have been working hard to cooperate with Your Majesty."

"Yeah, but it's not enough!" Liu Long chuckled directly, "I have now wiped out those Qiang Hu who caused trouble, even if I delayed not sending a battle report.

The soldiers and horses who still had three assistants would not miss this opportunity and quickly inform the Queen Mother about this matter.

At that time, no matter what those people are thinking, whether it is true or false.

Those people in this court will go crazy to let me return to the court.

Of course, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is natural for me to return to the court.

But don't you think it's a little early to return to the court now?

If I return with my troops and horses, can you be sure to patrol this Yizhou land by yourself?
How much rights can Ban Yong get to enter the Western Region again?

Can Ma Xu and Ma Xian continue to show their talents?

Can Deng Zun get credit again, continue to accumulate strength and prestige, and take over Geng Kui's military power and status?

You said I have said so much, how should you answer? "

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty understands what your Majesty means!"

"Well, just understand, I won't stay here for too long, but you have to know that this time is definitely not now.

I need a chance and an excuse.

I am not worried at all whether Chen Chan can restore the Wudu to its original state, or as he said, restore the Wudu to half of it.

I don’t care!
What I need is for him to give me a reason, a reason to stay here. It doesn't take too long, it's enough for me to completely suppress the Qianghu in Yongliang.

As for you."

When Liu Long said this, he looked directly at Yu Xu who was standing aside. His look made the user tremble.

Then Yu Xu, who was very excited and knew Liu Long very well, also smiled directly at the other party.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty understands the need to love. Your Majesty will soon take the scepter and bodyguard given by Your Majesty to the land of Xichuan to inspect, and promise to find the famous doctor for the Queen Mother!"

"I am still at ease when Aiqing does things.

Today, the world must not lose my queen mother, not only for the Deng family of Nanyang Xinye, but also... for us, for the sake of this world! "

Yu Xu looked at Liu Long, who had a serious face in front of him, and couldn't help but tease him.

"If your Majesty's words are known to the Queen Mother, she will definitely feel very happy."

"I have always been a filial person!"

With these words, Liu Long and Yu Xu truly began to part ways.

As the acting governor of Hanzhong, Yu Xu had no intention of staying in Hanzhong for long. He took the scepter Liu Long left for him and headed straight for Yizhou with his guards.

In just ten months, the land of Yizhou was completely transformed.

When he was in Hanzhong, Yu Xu had experienced a deadly battle in Hanzhong and was tortured by Deng Cheng out of good intentions, so he started to attack lightly.

Not being too harsh on them.

But when you get to the land of Xichuan, it's different.

There are many aristocratic families in Yizhou, and they are surrounded by mountains. Not many of them really go out. They are all like earth kings in the mountains.

There is no bottom line in doing things.

Moreover, apart from some common people, most of the people they faced were bandits and barbarians. To be honest, it was not very appropriate to surrender and seek peace.

Therefore, these wealthy families in Yizhou not only have no bottom line and do not know how to be gentle, but they are extremely vicious when they do it!
But now that the war in the northwest has stopped, Liu Long led tens of thousands of troops to wipe out the Qiang and Hu outside Hanzhong. At the same time, he was also eyeing Yizhou, and he might rush in at any time to have a detailed chat with them.

As for using some means within the rules, it is even more difficult.

Although this Yu Xu was not a great minister in the court, this guy was quite capable.

Not to mention anything else, just teaching Liu Long single-handedly is enough to explain his methods.

Moreover, the wealthy families in Yizhou are fierce, and Yu Xu’s methods are even more cruel.
With the two blessings, although Yu Xu has not yet gone to find a famous doctor, it has made countless wealthy families in Yizhou lament, but there is nothing they can do.

In the end, he could only "pay" enough grain and money and silk. This is what Liu Long wanted, to take away the money, silk, grain and grass that should belong to the court from these people.

Then use the money, silk, grain and grass to support Liu Long's continued fighting and the construction of Hanzhong and even Wudu County.

Of course, Wudu County is not stagnant now. Yu Xu is in charge of money and food. He cannot give Chen Chan the figure he wants, but Liu Long can also reduce his expenditure.

Compared with the corvee composed of Han people, Liu Long directly sent him thousands of Qiang Hu!
The first Qiang and Hu to surrender have been taken over by Banxiong, and they will be placed in various counties.

But the most indispensable thing in the northwest is the Qiang and Hu, especially those who followed the first few Qiang and Hu to fight and cause chaos.

After Liu Long put down the biggest scourge, the Xianling Qiang Hu, he could finally stand at the pinnacle of the northwest and look down on the other Qiang Hu, and then start taking action against them.

To retaliate for the threats and harm they had done to the big man during this period.
Under the attack of Ren Shang, Sima Jun and others, a large number of Qiang and Hu tribes were wiped out, and a large number of Qiang and Hu became prisoners.

For these people, Liu Long did not kill or release them. Instead, he sent them directly to Wudu County and asked Chen Chan to lead them to work. Work like crazy.
