"..."

The most surprising one was Wang Han, the fierce one. After two or three battles, this kid's fighting ability had improved significantly, which surprised Liu He a little.

"This is really a good candidate for martial arts training. No wonder this silly-looking guy can train himself to a strength of over 80. It's really amazing. We need to train him well in the future. It's probably not a dream for him to have a strength of over 95. By the way, his current machete is obviously not good enough. Let the three masters make him a -jin machete tomorrow."

Liu He liked this guy from the bottom of his heart, although he looked silly, but he was brave in battle, not afraid of pain or death.

"After many battles during this period, our commanders have improved significantly, but their military strength has only increased by 1 point, or even not at all. On the contrary, the intelligence and political skills of Qian Li, Zhang Long, Su Mao, and Zhan Lian have improved rapidly. As expected, as the territory becomes larger and the population increases, the requirements for internal affairs talents are also higher, which has forced their abilities to be brought out."

In terms of personal attributes, the sons recommended by Zhang and Su are better than Qian Li in overall quality. They are also humble and polite, and never abuse their connections to do wrong. But after all, Qian Li was trained by himself, and this kind of confidant is not comparable to the son of an in-law.

"Well... I'll leave one spot for Qian Li, and ask him to get his intelligence and politics attributes above 80 as soon as possible. That way, when I'm transferred to another place in the future, I can safely hand over the internal affairs of these three counties to him."

This time, with his own merits and Huangfu Song's recommendation, promotion is inevitable, but it is almost impossible for him to stay in Taiyuan. Liu He has already prepared himself mentally for this.

Qian Li's current attributes have not actually reached the level where he needs to use the Meditation Tower. He can improve them slowly through his daily work, but Liu He can't wait any longer. The appointment letter from Luoyang will arrive in a month at the fastest and two months at the slowest. Everything must be properly handled before then.

"The remaining two spots will go to me and Yun Chang. Right now, we have the highest martial arts skills. Even after these two months of desperate battles, we have only improved by 1 point. It will be even harder to improve from now on. If I don't use the Jingsi Tower, I'm afraid it will take at least seven or eight years or even more than ten years to achieve a full martial arts strength of . God knows where the court will arrange me next, so it's always a good idea to have higher martial arts skills."

After making the decision, Liu He called Guan Yu and Qian Li over early the next morning.

I briefly explained to the two that the Meditation Tower could help them calm down and focus their minds, allowing them to calm down and review the battles and internal affairs of recent days, and perhaps gain something from it. Naturally, the two would not refuse.

Liu He spent 300 points, brought dry food and water, and took the two of them into the Jingsi Tower, beginning a period of seclusion that lasted for an unknown period of time.

In Luoyang City, nearly three months had passed since Zhang Jue led his troops to siege it. Now, part of the broken city wall had been repaired, and the officials who had any connection with Zhang Jue had been investigated and punished one by one. This capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty seemed to have regained its former prosperity.

The imperial palace of the Han Dynasty is located in the northern part of the city. It is solemn and majestic.

A group of court officials were leaving the court and walking out of the palace gate. An old man walked quickly to the front, caught up with another person, and grabbed him.

"Tingwei Cui, wait a minute. I want to talk to you!"

The man was nearly knocked down by the sudden pull.

"Oh, it's General Huangfu. It's not proper for you and I to be shoving each other outside the palace gate."

Huangfu Song looked angry.

"What do you mean by decorum? I want to ask you, just now in the court, I praised Liu He for his merits and wanted to recommend him as a cavalry commander to follow the army to fight against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but a group of scholars and old officials opposed it. It would be fine if others didn't speak up for me, but why didn't you say a word?"

Cui Jun looked helpless, "Alas, old general, you have wronged me. It is not that I am unwilling, but that I am powerless. What the ministers said is true. Although Liu He has the blood of a royal family and has made great achievements, he is still young after all. Now he is just a county magistrate. He has jumped to become a cavalry captain, which is really too extraordinary. Cao Mengde, the son of the Minister of Agriculture, and Yuan Benchu, who was a third-generation official, have all made great contributions, but now they are just cavalry captains."

Huangfu Song was full of impatience and said angrily, "Nonsense! In terms of ability and merit, Liu He is not inferior to Cao and Yuan. Why can they be the cavalry commander, but Liu He can't? The court got the news in advance and took precautions. You were rewarded by the emperor, isn't it because your young son followed Liu He, so the news was informed to you in advance? You are a dignified court commander and a famous scholar of classics. Don't you know how to repay kindness?"

Seeing that he was getting more and more anxious, Cui Jun quickly pulled him to a corner, then looked around and made sure that there was no one around before continuing.

"Alas, Brother Yizhen, to be honest, Lie is also angry about what happened in the court today, but even if he refutes those court officials, what can he do? The Cavalry Commander is in charge of the Imperial Guards, which is a high rank and can be regarded as an important task in the army. The world is in chaos now, and it is the time to make achievements. Those court officials have sons and nephews. How can such an opportunity be easily given to an irrelevant person? Even your immediate superior, General He, did not speak for you. Zigan and Gongwei are leading troops outside, not in the court. You and I are weak and powerless to stop it."

This logic seemed to calm Huangfu Song's anger a little.

"Even so, they want Liu He to go... Alas, that place is dangerous and complicated. My father was there... Alas, even if I go, I can't guarantee that I can return safely. Wouldn't that mean I'd ruin a future general of the Han Dynasty in vain?"

Huangfu Song seemed distressed, and Cui Jun hurried to comfort him.

"Old General, don't worry too much. The reason why I recommended my son to be the magistrate of Yangqu County today is to let Guan... Guan what? Oh, yes, Guan Yu, the magistrate of Fenyang County is also to lend a hand to Liu He!"

Huangfu Song calmed down and seemed to understand something.

"what do you mean……"

"It's good that the old general understands it. According to what you said, Liu He now has tens of thousands of soldiers, many brave generals under his command, both wise and brave, and his son assists him. In addition to the arrangements you and I have made, and the help of the father and son of the Shangdang County Governor, he may not be unable to survive this disaster. If he can really survive this disaster safely, hehe, it will be impossible for others to stop him in the future."

Huangfu Song clapped his hands and cheered: "Good! Brother Wei Kao is really thoughtful. I'm sorry for offending you just now. Let's go to my house for a drink. I'll take this as my apology to you!"

"Haha, when it comes to being thorough, Lie can't compare to the old general. He dared to hand over 70,000 surrendered soldiers to a mere county magistrate for disposal. Looking at the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid there is no one else who can do this. Can the old general say that he didn't think about what happened today when he made this decision?"

Huangfu Song looked embarrassed: "Haha, let's not talk about this, let's not talk about it, let's go and have a drink!"
