Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 228 The New Governor
Seeing that everyone's army had a name, Zhu Ye was no longer happy.

"No, no, big brother has named them all, so I have to give the younger brother one too."

Liu He said angrily, "You are such a jerk. Your Golden Hammer Cavalry is barking loudly, what else do you want?"

Most of Zhu Ye's one hundred Golden Hammer Cavalry were lost in the previous battle. Now, not only have they been replenished, but the size has also reached two hundred people, which is considered a considerable combat force.

Zhu Ye was adamant: "No matter what, Fourth Brother's unit is the Golden Sword Battalion, and I am called the Golden Hammer Cavalry. It is inevitable that we will conflict with his unit. This is not acceptable. No matter what, Big Brother has to give me a new one."

Liu He couldn't persuade him, so he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let me think... Although the soldiers in your army are all armed with single hammers, when they hit each other, the sound is like thunder, so let's call it "Thunder God Cavalry."

When Zhu Ye heard the name, he almost jumped up.

"Haha, what a great name! He is thousands of times stronger than the previous Golden Hammer Rider. It turns out that Big Brother loves me the most."

Liu He asked him to sit down, and then continued, "Where is Zhang Liao?"

"The general is here!"

"You are an extraordinary rider, one of the best among our soldiers. You will be Yunchang's deputy general from now on."

Zhang Liao was overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord! It is my great honor to be able to fight with General Guan!"

There is a reason why Liu He made such arrangements.

Historically, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao had a very good relationship. After spending a few months together, Zhang Liao had a lot of respect for Guan Yu, and Guan Yu also liked this soldier who was several years younger than him. So Liu He simply let Zhang Liao be Guan Yu's deputy general. Not only did he want Guan Yu to train Zhang Liao, but he also wanted Zhang Liao's relatively calm personality to influence Guan Yu.

Afterwards, Liu He transferred Cheng Mian to be Zhang Yong's deputy general, Qu Hang to be Ye Xiang's deputy general, Wang Han to be Cheng Liang's deputy general. Li Damu was not very capable, but fortunately he was very obedient and quite strong, making him suitable to be a shield soldier, so he was made Gao Shun's deputy general.

Liu He already knew about the scarred brute Chu Xuan, whose entire family was killed by the Xianbei, and whose wife and sister were humiliated and tortured to death by the Xianbei. Although he was rescued in time by government troops, he was left with a scar on his face, and was filled with resentment. He always fought with the Xianbei without regard for his life.

This guy volunteered to join the Golden Sword Camp. Liu He did not stop him but agreed and made him a team leader of the Golden Sword Camp.

Not only him, but also Qin Chu, Yan Quan, Zhou Yuan, Fang You, the guy named Zijing who blew the horn in Guan Yu's army before, whose full name is Qian Ning, and a large number of other people with outstanding performance were also promoted one by one by Liu He this time.

The Wu Meng that Ye Taishou gave him also became a member of his personal guard, the Divine Tiger Cavalry. Dai Le and Dai Yunzhen that Gao Shun brought with him, in addition to receiving daily instruction from Cheng Liang, also served as a squad leader in Guan Yu's cavalry unit.

After the rewards were given, the entire Anmin Army was filled with joy and morale was high. Even the soldiers who were not promoted or rewarded were full of confidence. After all, in the entire Han army today, there were very few opportunities for ordinary soldiers to make merit and be promoted. Now that there are so many opportunities to join the army here, who would not try their best to train and fight?
Everyone was chatting happily when they suddenly saw the prefect Ye Wang and the county magistrate Jing Xin walked in. Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"The governor and the county magistrate are coming to my duwei mansion, why didn't you let your servants know so that we can go out to greet them?"

Ye Wang smiled and said, "Haha, Commander Liu is busy with military affairs, and we are both old, so we won't waste Commander Liu's time for these empty formalities. I came here today because I have good news to tell you."

Liu He looked at the two smiling faces and couldn't help asking, "Oh? What's the good news?"

As he asked, he invited Ye Wang to sit in his original seat, while he and Jing Xin sat on both sides of him respectively.

After Ye Wang sat down, he took out a roll of cloth from his sleeve.

"Haha, two months ago, I recommended merits for Captain Liu and the other generals. Now the imperial edict has finally come down. Captain Liu, please take a look."

Liu He then remembered that this had happened, and hurried forward, respectfully taking the imperial edict with both hands.

He unfolded it and his expression changed slightly.

"The court actually transferred me to be the governor of Yanmen and appointed the military advisor as the prefect of Yanmen County? Then the two adults..." When everyone heard the appointment, they immediately turned their eyes to Ye and Jing.

Jing Xin smiled and said, "Captain Liu, don't be surprised. This appointment was proposed to the court after Brother Ye and I discussed it."

"That's right. Both of us are nearly fifty years old, and we are getting old. Moreover, we are not familiar with military affairs. It is really unworthy for us to take charge of this important task. Commander Liu and the other heroes are young talents, both civil and military, and are the best candidates. It is time for us to step down and let others take over."

Liu He couldn't help but feel awe for these two people.

Mr. Lou Zhou had always wanted to retire, and Liu He had known about it. However, he thought it was because the Yanmen County was weak and vulnerable to the Xianbei cavalry, so he did so out of fear.

He didn't expect that now that Yanmen's military strength is growing rapidly and is about to make some achievements, he would choose to withdraw quietly and hand over all the power of the army here to himself, the county commander. This also means that all the merits of Yanmen in the future will have nothing to do with their Ye family, and it will be absolutely impossible for them to get a share of the pie. This really caught him off guard.

"Mr. Governor, you..."

Liu He wanted to say something, but Ye Wang interrupted him.

"Haha, Captain Liu, there is no need to say more. You are the descendant of our great ancestor. Now the barbarians in Bingzhou are rampant, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains are still rampant. It is time for you to realize your ambitions. It is the right time for me to retreat. But before I leave, there is one person I want to introduce to you, Captain."

Liu He thought that he wanted to keep his younger generation of nephews and nephews to make achievements and fame, and since he accepted such a generous gift, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

Ye Wang clapped his hands, and saw a young man walked in.

"Greetings to Captain Liu and all the generals!"

Liu He looked at him. The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Although he was not handsome, he was well-mannered and had a good appearance.

Ye Wang said, "I have two sons and one daughter, neither of whom are very talented. I have also studied and accepted several disciples, and this one is the most virtuous and talented among them. His surname is Huo, his name is Qing, and his courtesy name is Zixi. He is originally from Jizhou. I met him while he was wandering nine years ago and took him under my wing. I didn't expect that he was very smart and eager to learn, and soon surpassed his fellow brothers. I recommended him as a talented person two years ago. Now he is a minor official in my county. How to arrange his future is entirely up to Commander Liu."

Liu He now respected Ye Wang even more.

He did not recommend his own sons, nephews, or sons-in-law. Instead, he recommended the person he thought was the most talented and virtuous based on his ability and knowledge. He was definitely fair and selfless.

He used the system to check Huo Qing's attributes in his mind. Command was 33, Force was 41, Intelligence was 74, and Politics was 78. He was definitely a good talent. Especially when he was lacking political talents, Huo Qing's joining was even more important.

"The governor is so impartial, and I will obey his orders! The magistrate of Guangwu County, south of Yanmen Pass, was killed by Liu not long ago for being rampant in the village, taking bribes and perverting the law. I would like to ask Brother Huo to temporarily take over the post of magistrate of Guangwu County. When you have made some achievements in the future, I will submit a report to the court and give you a formal reward. How do you think?"

Huo Qing immediately thanked him and said, "I thank Captain Liu for his support! Captain Liu loves the people like his own children and cares about the people. I admire him very much. When I govern Guangwu County in the future, I will never forget Captain Liu's teachings!"

Liu He nodded: "Now that you know this, I can rest assured. If you dare to bully others and cause trouble, even if Lord Ye has face, I will never forgive you!"

Afterwards, Prefect Ye ordered a group of people to pull the convoy into the Duwei Mansion.

"Here are five thousand dan of grain and fodder, three million coins, one thousand rolls of cloth, and three hundred rolls of silk, all of which are rewards from the court this time. Originally, the things I requested in my memorial far exceeded this amount, but I don't know why the court is so stingy. But at least something is better than nothing, so Captain Liu, please deal with it as you wish."

This amount of supplies is just a drop in the bucket for the 95,000-strong army of Yanmen, even if there were only 40,000 or 50,000 troops.

Liu He certainly knew why the court had greatly reduced the amount of material rewards. Needless to say, it must have been those who were jealous of him, envious of him, hostile to him, or simply wanted to go against Huangfu Song and thus target him at the same time.

However, Liu He had already decided not to bother with them at this time. His main plan was to deal with the Xianbei wholeheartedly, so he did not have any resentment and directly had all these things sent to the treasury.
