Chapter 216 Who is in Charge?
Cheng Liang was so anxious that he kept scratching his head.

"Damn it, these bastards are so hateful, but we can't beat them. It's so annoying, really annoying!"

Guan Yu scolded him, "Brother, stop arguing. We brothers are united, and with the help of the military advisor and you, no matter how big the problem is, there is always a way to solve it."

Cui Jun frowned, "I'm afraid it's as difficult as ascending to heaven. The Han Dynasty is almost a world where the imperial power, the aristocratic families, and the local tyrants coexist. The former two control the central government, and the local tyrants coerce the counties and prefectures. They not only control more than half of the land wealth in the world, but also almost monopolize knowledge and the right to speak in the court. Our army has already caused such a big trouble by attacking a few small families. If we really go to war against these forces, I'm afraid it will be..."

Although he didn't continue speaking, everyone understood what he meant.

In the meeting room, the joy that was originally felt after the great victory had now disappeared without a trace, and only dullness and dead silence remained.

At this time, Liu He suddenly spoke in a different voice.

"I don't believe this."

Everyone looked at him, their eyes clearly showing that they wanted to know what Liu He's confidence was in saying this.

Liu He suddenly stood up straight, looked into the distance, and after a long time, he spoke a sentence in a clear and loud voice.

"Since our enemies control the world, let's replace them!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
"My Lord, you..."

Cui Jun wanted to say something but was interrupted by Liu He.

"Military Advisor, please listen to me."

"Well, my lord, please speak."

Liu He walked out from his seat.

"Local tyrants oppress the people, so let the power of the court replace these powerful families that are comparable to the separatist princes. The noble families in the court use public resources for their own selfish purposes, so find a group of practical talents to replace these national parasites. Replace the unvirtuous with the virtuous, and the talented with the untalented, and naturally the country founded by Emperor Gaozu will return to the right path!"

"I have stationed troops at Yanmen, and I can do nothing about the affairs of other counties, but as long as I can do what I can, anyone who wants to disrupt the world of my Great Han and harm the people of my Great Han must first ask whether my sword, Liu He, is sharp! Whether they are powerful or noble families, if they want to bite me to death, hmph, they have to see if they have such good teeth!"

Liu He can have such ambition and confidence, relying on the system! As long as there is a system in hand, it is only a matter of time to cultivate a sufficient number of talents in various fields. If you want to push them to various places or even the center of the court, it is just a matter of time as your strength grows.

As long as he has absolute strength in Bingzhou and has his own people occupying important positions, then no matter how others stir up trouble in Bingzhou, they will not be able to stir up any ripples. The same is true for the entire Han Dynasty.

By then, these national parasites should be thankful that they don't cause trouble for themselves.

After all, Liu He was a young and energetic man. The more he thought about it, the stronger the heroic spirit in his chest became, and he couldn't help but say something.

"Oh dear lord, who domains the fate of this world!"

Just this one sentence aroused the heroic spirit in the hearts of Guan Yu and others!
"Brother, you are so heroic. We brothers are willing to follow you through fire and water, regardless of the dangers, to restore peace to the world!"

Cui Jun hesitated slightly, then stood up.

"My lord, you have such great ambitions. I am willing to follow you till death! But if you want to succeed in your great plan, you still need to do one thing. You have to put aside everything else for now. As long as you do this, all the troubles will no longer be troubles." Liu He asked, "Oh? What did the military advisor say?"

"Right now, Yanmen!"

Liu He seemed to understand a little, but the others were completely confused.

Cui Jun continued, "As long as the lord defends Yanmen and repels the invading enemy, he will have made great contributions. Even if the aristocratic families continue to obstruct, they cannot erase his achievements. Moreover, there are the old generals Huangfu, Lu, and Zhu in the court, as well as the mediation of my father and others. At least it is enough to keep the lord safe."

“But if the lord shows even the slightest sign of defeat, even if he still has Guangwu, Luwei, Langdiao and other retreat routes behind him, those people will definitely take the opportunity to impeach him. These impeachments will be like rolling waves, and will bring the lord to an irretrievable place!”

"Besides, although Yanmen is extremely dangerous, it is home to many heroes and opportunities. Once we are able to successfully defeat the foreign army and recapture a portion of the vast grassland, our army's reputation will surely spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and our army's strength will naturally increase greatly."

"Originally, we all thought that we should leave Yanmen as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains so that we can make great efforts. But now we have to change this plan. Not only can our army not leave early, but we must do everything we can to completely recapture and occupy the entire territory of Yanmen County, and then continue to attack the counties in Yunzhong in the north, and even recapture the Hetao area in one fell swoop, and establish an unbreakable base camp in this place that everyone avoids."

"This way, we can not only reduce the vigilance of the secret forces against our army, but also stabilize our position. When all this becomes a foregone conclusion, they will find that it is almost impossible to deal with us anymore."

Liu He's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, as long as we control the grassland and the Hetao region, then farming and raising war horses will be greatly beneficial! With this capital, no matter what the situation in the world is, no matter how many open or hidden forces want to deal with me, I will not be afraid!"

"Haha, those old guys who exiled us here would never have thought that even in such a dangerous and bitterly cold place, we could fight our way out!"

Zhang Yong's tone was somewhat excited, and so were the others.

"I wish to follow my elder brother/lord to achieve great things!"

"it is good!"

Liu He returned to his seat and shouted, "No matter how strong he is, the breeze blows over the hills. Wang Chen and his ilk want to deal with me, but we should be patient for now and focus on guarding against the Xianbei. As long as we can truly repel the Xianbei army this autumn and even gain rich rewards, then no matter how many tricks he has, they will be like a clown and not worth mentioning! After this business is done, hehe, it will be time for us to turn around and deal with them!"

Everyone, including Liu He, seemed to have never felt so confident about the future. Even though there are internal and external troubles and powerful enemies everywhere, this incomparably strong self-confidence cannot be shaken in the slightest!
At this moment, several hurried footsteps sounded from outside the meeting room.

A figure was walking in a hurry and was not paying attention for a moment. He tripped over the threshold and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by the people next to him.

But this person didn't care about this at all. As soon as he entered the door, he exclaimed repeatedly.

"Captain Liu, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

When Liu He looked at the people coming, they were none other than the prefect Ye Wang and the county magistrate Jing Xin.

"Why are you so panicked, Lord Governor?"

"Xianbei... Xianbei cavalry... they are coming... at least 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry, the earth is shaking... the earth is shaking..."

After Ye Wang said these few words breathlessly, everyone present was shocked!
