In the early morning, the fog was hazy.

Liu Chuang got up early as before.

Foggy days are not suitable for morning exercises, and even more so for vigorous exercises. So Liu Chuang did not practice as usual. After reading books in the study for a while, he walked out of the government office and under the protection of Li Yifeng and other Feixiongwei, he went out of the north gate of Zhuo County to inspect the military camps that Zhuo County became.

It was September and it was late autumn.

News came from western Liaoning that Liaodong ushered in a cooling down a while ago.

At this time, Liaodong had entered the middle of winter early.

Liu Chuang's eyes also shifted from Youzhou to the northern border... In mid-September, Lu Bu vowed to the White Wolf Castle and led a large army of 10,000 to conquer the northern border.

This expedition was divided into three routes.

Lu Bu was in charge of the central army, using Xiaofeng and Tianchou as his military advisor, and was magnificent and approaching the Great Xianbei Mountains.

Wei Yan and Xiahou Lan each led two thousand cavalry troops, one man and two horses, standing on both wings, and running on the attack. At the same time, the king of Fuyu Kingdom Jian, recalled Fuyu Kingdom's prince Ma Yu, and appointed Ma Yu as the general, gathered 8,000 troops and sent troops from Fuyu.

At this time of year, the Xianbei people are most frequently active.

However, due to the Xianbei side's defeat this year, Yan Liyou was busy pacifying the adults of various tribes, so he had no time to go south. The Han army sent troops at this time, which immediately caused turmoil in the entire northern border. Although Lu Bu was old, his reputation was still there.

After ten years, the tiger returned to the northern border.

The Xianbei people who had experienced the style of Lu Bu were suddenly anxious.

Liu Chuang was in Zhuo County, but he was closely watching the development of the situation in northern Xinjiang.

The war in Youzhou has basically come to an end. Zhang He Gaolan conquered Yi County and built a barrier on the south side of Youzhou with the natural chasm of Yishui.

After Zhao Yun and Tian Yu stationed in Wuruan Pass, they quickly gained a foothold.

After the situation in Zhuo County stabilized, Liu Chuang immediately appointed Bei Zhan as the prefect of Zhuo County and moved the county seat to Fanyang. At the same time, he ordered the abolition of Guangyang County and the two counties of Anci and Guangyang under Guangyang County were merged into Zhuo County, and then the three counties of Changping, Ji County and Jundu were transferred to Yuyang.

There were only five counties under the jurisdiction of Guangyang County, but they had to be independent as one county.

In Liu Chuang's opinion, this was inevitably a waste, so he simply abolished Guangyang County and could also be removed from his position as the prefect of a county.

There were not many people available in Liu Chuang's hands, and Han Heng continued to remain the prefect of Dai County. On the one hand, Han Heng was indeed a talent, and on the other hand, he wanted to appease the powerful people in Youzhou through Han Heng. Later, Liu Chuang transferred Bu Zhi from Lelang County to Yuyang and ordered him to take over Yuyang County. Lu Dai replaced Bu Zhi as the prefect of Lelang County, and at the same time increased the population survey of the four counties in Liaodong.

The fifth year of Jian'an has reached the end of the year.

In a few months, the New Year will be...

During this year, Lelang and Xuantu County in Liaodong had returned to peace and were completely included in Liu Chuang's control.

Yan Rou was in power in Goguryeo County. He defeated the Goguryeo rebels several times, and with the help of Baqi, he killed Goguryeo King Daigu in August.

The imperial family has no affection, which is undoubtedly highlighted among the Goguryeo royal family.

Dang Gubaqi was originally a father and son. In the end, he met each other in war, even forever.

After Daigu was killed, the situation in Goguryeo County gradually eased. Seeing that the Goguryeo people had stopped resisting, Yan Rou stopped massacre of Goguryeo people. He changed to Huairou to appease the Goguryeo people. Liu Chuang praised this. Goguryeo people are also human beings, and they are even better laborers. If they are really killed, then the huge Goguryeo can only become a desolate place. Why bother?

Appropriate comfort can strengthen control over Goguryeo.

Similarly, Yan Rou strongly recruited Han people from the Korean Peninsula, and to a certain extent, strengthened his control over Goguryeo.

Since Huan Ling, there have been countless Han people migrating to the Korean Peninsula in order to avoid war. Roughly estimated that there are about 100,000 people. Such a large population is naturally not too many on the Korean Peninsula, and there are still three Koreans on the Korean Peninsula, which has greatly squeezed the living space of the Han people. Now, the Han army's occupation of Goguryeo has also given the backbone of the Han people on the Korean Peninsula.

In September, Yan Rou ordered Pang De to lead his troops into the Korean Peninsula and began a conquest of the Korean Peninsula.

The three Koreans in Korea are worthy of being a powerful man on the Korean Peninsula, but they are not good enough to face the well-trained Han army.

Less than a month after Pang De entered the Korean Peninsula, three consecutive wars captured more than 10,000 people from the three Koreans... Immediately afterwards, Gan Ning also led the navy to bypass the Korean Peninsula and landed on both sides of Pang De, causing the three Koreans to retreat step by step.

Liu Chuang didn't care about the battle between the three Koreans.

Sanhan sounds very powerful, but in fact it is just a tribal alliance that cannot resist the footsteps of the Han army.

The climate of Goguryeo is not suitable for farming, but Sanhan is very suitable.

Liu Chuang needed a large number of slaves to farm for him, so Sanhan was undoubtedly his best choice for now...

Sanhan has a foundation in this area and has a large population.

As long as the operation is done properly, Liu Chuang believes that these three Hans can become his granary to ensure his future war against the Central Plains.

However, such a series of conquests was extremely hard for the Han army.

Since the army entered Youzhou, Liu Chuang has often been troubled by insufficient troops. If he had not been constantly gathering Yuan's prisoners, Liu Chuang would not even be able to draw out the troops guarding Yi County. Thinking of this, Liu Chuang was also considering whether he could temporarily stop expanding...

Of course, he can't stop yet!

"Kong Ming, where is now?"

"Report to the emperor's uncle, the day before yesterday, Kong Ming ordered General Ziyi to lead his troops to Juyong, and he and General Zhongkang led their troops westward and headed towards Macheng."

The person who answered Liu Chuang's question was a young man who looked like he was not old last year.

A baby face that is born will reveal a dimples when you smile, and you will look extremely handsome.

This young man is Lu Yu.

After Liu Chuang conquered Changping, he immediately ordered someone to find Lu Yu.

When he seized Zhuo County, Lu Yu brought his sister-in-law and nephew to Zhuo County and became Liu Chuang's aide.

Liu Chuang is now in short supply of people around him.

Although he was constantly recruiting talents, he quickly entrusted important tasks.

Xu Shu is like this, humble Zhan is like this... Lu Yu is not old, but his family is of a background and is extremely talented. Even Zheng Xuan, who never cared about politics, sent someone to find Liu Chuang and asked Liu Chuang to take care of Lu Yu more. Since this is the case, Liu Chuang simply appointed Lu Yu as a general servant to be responsible for handling official affairs for him.

After hearing Lu Yu's answer, Liu Chuang nodded and looked at Lu Yu with great appreciation.

With such a secretary, Liu Chuang is indeed much more relaxed.

Lu Yu was meticulous and had the ability to remember everything he saw, so he followed Liu Chuang, saving Liu Chuang a lot of trouble.

"In this way, is the Battle of Uetani going to end?"

Shanggu County was killed with Nanlou, and there were no more soldiers to mobilize.

Although Zhuge Liang had only 6,000 people in his hands this time, it was enough to wipe out the entire Shanggu County... The most important thing is that after seizing Shanggu County, Liu Chuang could directly connect with Xun Chen of Yunzhong County. Yunzhong County was located in a border desertion, with eleven county towns, with a population of only more than 5,000 households, less than 30,000 people, which was extremely desolate. But after all, it was an important place in the north of the Han Dynasty, and it was also a hub for contacting the outside world.

Under such circumstances, Xun Chen naturally could not stay in the clouds.

However, as the barrier for Liu Chuang to the west, Yunzhong County needs a strong person to guard it.

Liu Chuang is still considering the candidate for the prefect of Yunzhong County. Not only Yunzhong, but also Shanggu County, must settle down as soon as possible.

"Zi Family, who do you think is the best person to guard the clouds?"

Lu Yu thought for a while and smiled and said, "If you say that the right person is suitable, Yu dares to recommend one person, and he will definitely be able to protect you from worry."

"who?"

"It's the lieutenant Tian Yuda Guorang."

Let Tian Yu guard the Yunzhong?

Liu Chuang frowned and showed a deep thought.

Speaking of which, Tian Yu is indeed a suitable candidate.

In history, he stationed in Guangning, Shanggu, and was appointed as the captain of Wuheng. He was indeed dedicated and responsible, protecting the northern border without worries. Tian Yu was a man who was skilled in strategy and had more means. Moreover, he was not as tough as Gongsun Zan, but he knew how to be gentle and appease. Thinking about it carefully, Tian Yu was indeed the most suitable at present. But he now assisted Zhao Yun in Wuruan Pass, if he was transferred to Yunzhong County...

As if he saw Liu Chuang hesitation in his heart, Lu Yu whispered: "Is the lord worried about General Zilong?"

Liu Chuang was stunned and nodded immediately.

In fact, Liu Chuang's love for Zhao Yun is not a secret among the Han army.

However, most people would think that the reason why Liu Chuang likes Zhao Yun is because Zhao Yun is his brother-in-law, and he loves the house and the mist...

No one said anything about this.

Lu Yu whispered: "You can understand that the lord loves General Zilong."

However, if the lord wants General Zilong to become a real arm support, he needs to be more tempered. He is with Guo Ren and has Guo Ren to pick up the leftovers and fill in the gaps, and he can indeed gain a lot. However, in this way, General Zilong can only become a general and cannot become a great man.

Even if General Zilong is allowed to stand alone in the future, it may not be convincing.

Since that's the case, why not let go of your hands and feet... Although Wu Ruan Pass is important, it is not enough to pose a threat to Youzhou. The country's general's departure can make General Zilong let go of his hands and feet. Whether it is success or failure, it is also a training for him, otherwise how can he stand alone?"

When Liu Chuang heard this, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have made a mistake, that is, he was too concerned about Zhao Yun.

Without failure, how can you grow!

Even Liu Chuang himself has experienced countless dangers to achieve today. Thinking about it, letting Tian Yu assist Zhao Yun can certainly let Zhao Yun do things safely. But it is also true that Zilong can find it difficult to truly lead the army alone and become a general.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

"If it weren't for the Zi family, I would have almost delayed Zilong."

"So I think that since the lord likes General Zilong, why not let him guard Wuruan Pass alone?

Besides, with Mr. Bei Zhan in charge of Fan Yang, even if General Zilong makes any mistakes, he can make up for them in time. It is better than making mistakes in the future."

Zhuge Liang once had an important task because he loved Ma Su.
