qq group: 56078221, friends who like this book are welcome to join.

Luoyang is Wu Fan's foundation. In the rear, if Luoyang loses something, he, the prefect of Luoyang, will become famous and untrue. Moreover, many subordinates will become Cao Cao's direct subordinates like him. If he spends so much effort to recruit so many capable ministers in the previous episode, he will become useless.

Therefore, Wu Fan was naturally surprised by the civil servant who suddenly came from Luoyang.

However, Wu Fan felt that he was a little pessimistic about his thoughts. If there was any change in Luoyang, the ones who came to report the news should be military officers or commanders, rather than civil servants; the so-called military officers who reported war and civil servants reported political affairs is the reason.

At this time, Cao Cao had already ordered people to pass on the civil servants and let him in. After a while, the civil servants walked into the central army tent, greeted Cao Cao and Wu Fan separately, and then said to Wu Fan:

"Prefection, ten days ago, Yuan Shao's commander Jiang Yiqiu, personally led his troops to attack Luoyang, and was defeated by General Cao Ren. Lord Tian Feng immediately ordered Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Qiu Liju and Xun Yu to lead troops to counterattack Hanoi and win a great victory. At present, Hanoi has been occupied by our army, so Lord Tian Feng is specially ordered to come down to report to the Prefection."

Hanoi and Luoyang are only separated by the Yellow River, and the distance is very close. It takes less than two days to reach the other city. After Yuan Shao suffered a crushing defeat in Luoyang, Jiang Yiqiu received a new rule policy issued by Yuan Shao: to guide Luoyang.

After Jiang Yiqu received this rule policy, he felt really a headache. Wu Fan, the prefect of Luoyang, could not fight him even if he tied himself together. Moreover, he had so many civil and military officials and generals under him, and all of them were not simple. Anyone who proposed it would be enough to make a fuss. Even if he fought his life, he would not be able to complete this rule policy.

Just when Jiang Yiqu was in great pain, Wu Fan, on the order of Cao Cao, led a group of powerful generals and more than 50,000 troops out of Luoyang, gathered with Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei to jointly attack Lu Bu.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Yiqu was ecstatic and thought that this was the best time to attack Luoyang. Once he missed it, he would have no chance when Wu Fan led his troops back. Since Ye, Jinyang and other cities around Hanoi sent troops to attack Beihai and were unable to provide assistance, Jiang Yiqu had to go with his subordinates, Lu Weihuang, Yu Yuanjin, and Su You, and led all 40,000 troops in Hanoi to attack Luoyang.

At this time, the Cao and Liu coalition forces had already begun to attack Xiaopei. After listening to Xun Yu's analysis of the enemy and our military situation, Tian Feng was fully confident of defeating Jiang Yiqiu's army. Therefore, in order not to distract Wu Fan, he did not send a messenger to inform Wu Fan. When Jiang Yiqiu was defeated, Tian Feng immediately took advantage of the victory to counterattack Hanoi directly. Then he sent civil servants to report the causes and consequences to Wu Fan in detail.

After the civil servant finished speaking to Wu Fan, Cao Cao could understand it. However, as a fixed official procedure, Wu Fan still had to report to Cao Cao, so he said to Cao Cao:

"Lord, our Luoyang defender successfully defeated the Hanoi Jiang Yiqiu army and took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Hanoi. Please send someone to serve as the prefect of Hanoi."

Cao Cao nodded with a smile, then glanced at the civil servants and generals in the tent and said:

"The reason why I gathered everyone here today is not only to inform the latest intelligence and reward the two generals Lu Bu and Guan Yu, but also because I have a very important appointment to announce in public."

For the first time, everyone saw Cao Cao so serious and solemn when he announced his appointment. For a moment, everyone whispered and talked about it. I wonder what kind of appointment it would be, and who it was assigned to. It would not be the prefect of Hanoi, right?

Cao Cao paused, turned to Wu Fan and said:

"Meng Xuan, I want to worship you as the governor, command the two cities of Luoyang and Hanoi, and establish the Second Corps of the Cao Army. Are you willing?"

Wu Fan, who has been calm and composed, couldn't help but be shocked this time

The governor, the second only to the monarch in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10"; other cities within the monarch's power are one legion, and the city under the governor is another legion. For example, the Luoyang city of Wu Fan was the Cao Cao's legion before, but if Wu Fan becomes the governor, he will be an independent legion and will no longer be directly sent by Cao Cao; just like Wu Fan's generals, he is only affiliated with Cao Cao.

In addition, every time the governor's legion captured a city, it directly belongs to the legion, and the governor appointed the prefect, rule policy, personnel dispatch, etc., which is basically equivalent to the concept of a country and China.

In the game, the second-rank official can be appointed as the governor. Wu Fan is currently a third-rank official, and is still one level away. However, since he was able to serve as the prefect as the sixth-rank official, it is reasonable to serve as the governor as the third-rank official.

Shocked, Wu Fan immediately bowed to Cao Cao solemnly:

"My minister Wu Fan is very careful to be the governor. From then on, he will do his best to realize the great cause of the lord."

If Wu Fan refuses this appointment, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

After being appointed as the governor, he was only under the monarch and above ten thousand people. It was truly a high sky and the emperor was far away. No one except the monarch could control it.

The so-called "management" of the governor is only to issue legion policies to the legion where the governor is located, such as the Jizhou strategy, Youzhou strategy, etc., which is not a direct transfer order for the governor. In other words, for the governor and the legion under his jurisdiction, the monarch cannot ask about the legion policy, and in other aspects, the monarch cannot ask about the legion policy.

Of course, the monarch still needs to take care of all the civil servants and generals in the legion, including the governor himself, such as rewards for merit and promotion of officials and titles.

Seeing that Wu Fan was ordered, Cao Cao smiled heartily, and then ordered the officers to return to Chenliu immediately and order Cheng Yu, who was staying in Chenliu, to build a general worship platform. Seven days later, the lonely general was on the general worship platform and officially appointed Meng Xuan as the governor of the Second Corps of the Cao army.

Afterwards, Cao Cao issued an order to set off the entire army and move the troops back to Chenliu on the same day. As for the two cities of Xia Pi and Xiaopei that had just been obtained, Cao Cao appointed Chen Deng and Chen Gui as the prefects respectively, and the rule policy was to prevent Shouchun Sun Jian as the goal.

After Cao Cao ordered these things, he took the lead in walking out of the tent. Wu Fan was about to be ordered to be the governor, so his generals naturally had to congratulate him. He had many inconveniences when he was present. Cao Cao's move was intended to make it convenient for Wu Fan and everyone.

So, Cao Cao had just walked out of the central army tent. Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Cao Hong and other civil servants congratulated Wu Fan one after another. As for Hua Xiong, Xiahou Yuan, Guo Jia and other officials and generals under Wu Fan, his joy was beyond words. Putting aside the rigid standards of official positions, the commanded governor was also testing his personal status in the minds of the generals under the monarch. Wu Fan is now undisputed as the number one general under Cao Cao, with a high prestige. Although everyone felt sudden about Wu Fan as the governor, they were convinced and did not feel dissatisfied.

However, there was only one person here, who had a long beard in green robe and sneered at it. In fact, he not only sneered at Wu Fan, but also looked down on all the generals under Cao Cao. On the one hand, this mentality originated from his belief that he was quite good; on the other hand, he thought that he was with the emperor, with a good root and a very proud person; and you mediocre people, who were following a traitor, were a little different from me in terms of grades, so how could they be compared with me?

Therefore, Guan Yu snorted coldly with his eyes closed, then turned around and walked out of the tent. Hua Xiong beside Wu Fan kept paying attention to Guan Yu's every move. Seeing him performing like this, Hua Xiong's eyes widened and wanted to rush up and pull him back, but Wu Fan quietly reached out to block it.

A self-righteous second-hand man is not worthy of the same experience as me and my subordinates and him.

Wu Fan glanced at Guan Yu's leaving figure, and then continued to chat with the civil and military officials around him as if nothing had happened.

The endorsement of the book: Wu Fan still doesn't know that the reason why Guo Tu was assassinating him was Guan Yu's idea. On the other hand, Cao Cao didn't know about Guan Yu as the mastermind. According to the information he received at that time, Cao Cao only thought that Liu Bei was responsible for it.

Seven days later, the military camp outside Chenliu City.

The vengeful general platform, which was more than ten meters high, was built on the basis of the recruitment platform when Cao Cao raised his troops. The red carpets were covered with red carpets, and the guards of ceremonial clothes and armor were neatly lined up, with flags waving and drums and horns roaring, with extremely grand momentum.

With the eyes of tens of thousands of Luoyang soldiers and generals in the audience, Wu Fan calmly climbed to the high platform. On the platform, Cao Cao was already waiting here, and there were talismans, seals, ribbons and other objects on the table beside him. After Wu Fan came close to him, he knelt down, Cao Cao held his sword in his hands and said loudly:

"I was appointed as the governor of Wu Fan, as well as General Andong, Hou Xiaoting, and Prefect of Luoyang. I was given a sword seal and was in charge of the two cities of Sili Province, and had his troops and horses, setting up his own second army."

Cao Cao said this and paused. Wu Fan bowed to Cao Cao according to the steps he told him yesterday, and then Cao Cao continued:

"Inside the Guo family, the leader is the only one who is the only one who is alone; outside the lonely family, the general is the only one who is the only one who is alone."

Wu Fan said again at this time:

"I am willing to accept the order of my lord"

Then, Cao Cao handed the sword he held in his hand to Wu Fan. Wu Fan took it with both hands, stood up and faced the tens of thousands of Luoyang troops below the stage. For a moment, the soldiers and generals below the stage shouted in unison, and the sound was astonishing as the earth.

...

After returning to Luoyang from Chenliu, Wu Fan immediately appointed Tian Feng as the prefect of Hanoi, and dispatched Zhang Ren, Lu Dai, Huangfu Song, Zhu Ye, Zhang Zhao, and Zhuge Jin as their generals to station in Hanoi. At present, Cao Cao's goal to the Second Corps is a "free ruling". Considering that Hanoi is the only city where Cao Cao's forces cross the Yellow River north, and surrounded by Yuan Shao's forces, Wu Fan ordered Tian Feng to focus on defense and governance as the supplement.

Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Ye were nominally court officials under the emperor, they were actually sent by Wu Fan. Although they were reluctant to do so, they had no choice but to take their families to Hanoi for their posts. The reason why Wu Fan deliberately sent these two people to Luoyang was actually the first step to weaken the emperor's wings.

It can be foreseen that I will not always stay in Luoyang. Before this, it is necessary to transfer all the court officials around the emperor to other cities, so as not to become restless and cause trouble for themselves when they are on the expedition in the future.

Subsequently, Wu Fan sent Lu Bu to Hongnong County west of Luoyang to guard, and Qiu Liju and Xi Zhicai were also there. Luoyang was the capital of the emperor and had to strictly guard against the surrounding forces. Therefore, General Lu led 5,000 troops to guard Hongnong to guard against Ma Teng's army in Chang'an to the west.

In fact, it was to support Lu Bu away from him and stay outside for a few years. During this period, Wu Fan believed that all forces would definitely use various means to deceive Lu Bu or rumor. If Lu Bu could withstand the test, he would then transfer him back to him; otherwise, we would just beat him up and disperse. We have already achieved the end of our kindness and righteousness, it depends on your Lu Bu's performance.
