Chapter 176 The Change of Luoyang
Li Yao looked Cheng Gongying up and down, he was quite surprised:

"Cheng Gongying, Cheng Gongying... This name is a little familiar, it seems to be a well-known person, capable of writing and martial arts, he is Han Sui's counselor and general, and he is loyal, and has been following Han Sui until Han Sui's defeat..."

"Uncle is really awesome. We have found this kind of talent. Now Longxi is in a state of ruins. It really needs such a great talent to govern, rebuild the government institutions as soon as possible, and restore local rule!"

At the beginning, they raised their troops to rebel. Since Li Can surrendered, there was no Longxi prefect in Longxi anymore. Even those county officials had fled or died all these years.

Now that the talent is under his command, don't think about running away anymore, Li Yao is determined to win it.

After this day, Cheng Gongying was appointed as the Prime Minister of Longxi County, and he began to travel around in various cities, counties, within the city, outside the city...he went to visit those powerful families who had influence on the local area, and invited them to come to the county to serve.

This is inevitable. It takes a lot of manpower to govern a county, and the rich families in these places are quite powerful and have great prestige among the people. First, use their hands to re-establish the government, and then divide and suppress it. It depends on personal means.

This first step went smoothly. Cheng Gongying personally visited the virtuous, and the local wealthy family also gave face. Even if they didn't give Cheng Gongying face, they had to give Li Wenhou face behind Cheng Gongying.

After all, tens of thousands of iron cavalry are still stationed in Longxi. Together, it is beneficial to both parties. If divided, only the local wealthy will lose.

After more than 20 days, Li Wenhou recruited Ma Teng's original [-] soldiers. Including Ma Teng, [-] cavalry joined the Yi Cong Battalion. The remaining [-] cavalry came from quite mixed sources.

First plant a few years of land, then train a few years of soldiers, wait until you have enough to eat, learn what is called an organization, what is called a military regulation, and then choose the best from the best.

Barrier County, outside the city!
Cheng Gongying, the prime minister of the county, took the Cao Cao who was recruited and appointed by him to work, and sent Li Wenhou and the army to leave.

From now on, Longxi County will be located in Zhanxian County. It used to be in Didao to guard against the barbarians in the northwest, but now it is in Zhanxian County for the purpose of expanding eastward in the future.

The location is different, and the county government is also different.

Even in order to better control the south of Longxi, Li Wenhou transferred another garrison, that is to say, the south of Longxi, including the original [-] troops and the newly added [-] troops, will have a total of [-] troops.

The northwest is Hanyang, and the southwest is Wudu. With a force of [-], they will have no worries, and they can go north to attack the four counties of Hexi and the two major vassal states!
Yi Congying, left and right cavalry, had set off one after another at this time, Li Wenhou looked at Gongying, then looked at the rest of the people, half to encourage, half to threaten:

"I entrusted Longxi to you because I believed in you. Don't let me down, otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you!"

The faces of the other officials changed slightly, only Cheng Gongying's face remained unchanged, he just bowed his head and said:

"My Lord, please rest assured that you will never disappoint your high expectations!"

Li Wenhou nodded in satisfaction, and then rode away. He didn't know much about government affairs, nor was he very interested. All he cared about was the army, and all he cared about was military power.

Li Wenhou rode away, and Li Yao also rode away, but before he left, he looked at Cheng Gongying and said gently:

"Sir, great talent, everything has been handled in an orderly manner during this time. My father has also seen it. He is very reassuring and trusts in you. You can use your ambitions to restore prosperity to Longxi!"

Cheng Gongying smiled, but said modestly:
"I don't dare to claim to be a great talent in front of Mr. Lang. With Jincheng's various policies and various technologies for reference, it is only a matter of time before Longxi restores prosperity!"

Cheng Gongying is optimistic about Li Yao. From all aspects of Jincheng, he has seen the hope of Liangzhou's rise, domination of Kansai, and overwhelming Kanto. This has the same interests as all suppressed Kansai scholars and Liangzhou scholars.

Soon all the army left, and Ma Teng looked back again. His brother, his wife, his son... all his family members stayed in Zhan County, and he led his troops to follow north.

Although Ma Chao is clamoring to join the army, how can a 13-year-old or 14-year-old child really take him to fight.

This time he went north to fight a war, so naturally he couldn't bring his family with him. After the battle was over, he would occupy the entire Hexi area and move Ma Teng's family to Jincheng for resettlement.

In the end, Ma Teng withdrew his eyes, and his eyes gradually became firm. He told himself in his heart that he must make contributions this time, one is to repay his kindness, and the other is to make his name famous, restore the glory of his ancestors, and not fall into the prestige of his ancestors.

At the same time, Luoyang is thousands of miles away!
At this time, Luoyang City was undercurrents. Liu Hong had died for more than a month, and the new emperor had ascended the throne, but all forces were gearing up to launch new struggles for the benefit of all parties.

The first thing to mention here is Jian Shuo. He is an eunuch, but Liu Hong has a lot of trust in him. In order to strengthen the imperial power and suppress the influence of foreign relatives, Liu Hong formed the Eighth Army of Xiyuan, and appointed Jian Shuo as the captain of the army to lead the troops, strengthen the imperial power and suppress foreign relatives.

Jian Shuo was indeed loyal, but he was very radical in his actions. When Liu Honggang died, he planned to take this opportunity to kill He Jin, and then supported Liu Xie to become emperor.

However, someone under his command informed him, so He Jin escaped. Without this great opportunity, he couldn't withstand the pressure from all parties. In the end, Liu Bian succeeded in ascending the throne and became the new emperor of Han.

But Jian Shuo didn't intend to give up, he still wanted to kill He Jin and wipe out the power of his relatives.

He conspired with Zhongchang servant Zhao Zhong and Guo Sheng, and wanted to find an opportunity to kill He Jin, but Guo Sheng and He Jin, the queen mother of He, came from the same hometown, so naturally he didn't want He Jin to be killed, so he told the queen mother about it. He Jin and the queen mother were brothers and sisters, and they also didn't want He Jin to be killed.

Although the brothers and sisters were a bit stupid, they held great power in their hands. With the joint efforts of both sides, they tricked Jian Shuo out of the barracks and killed him easily with a few small yellow gates.

Jian Shuo died, and his army was annexed by He Jin. Liu Hong stayed behind to strengthen the imperial power and suppress the followers of his relatives, but disappeared completely.

The power of the imperial court is controlled by He Jin brothers and sisters, but is this really the case?
