Liu Cheng said: "My general has decided to lead the troops to the expedition in three days.
The soldiers of the Northern Army will leave two troops to guard the camp.
Where is Wu Fu?"
Wu Fu stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I have a humble job."
"I order you to stay in Luoyang and guard the camp."
Wu Fu, with a calm expression, clasped his fists and agreed: "Promise" Liu Cheng looked at the generals again and called them by name: "Yan Xing, Lu Weihuang, order one of you to lead the Huben Army to guard the palace, and the other to lead the Yulin Army to escort the food and supplies.
The two of you will take turns."
Yan Xing and Lu Weihuang originally thought that they were only responsible for guarding the palace, but they did not expect that they could also take turns leading troops to escort grain and military supplies.
Although they could not go to the battlefield, escorting grain and military supplies was also a kind of experience.
The two stood up excitedly, clasping their fists and saying, "I obey."
At this time, Zhang Ji walked in and handed over his hand to report: "My lord, all the money donated by the ministers and officials of the Manchu Dynasty has been collected.
The 3.1 million yuan was due and the actual amount was 2.86 million yuan. " Liu Cheng asked: "Then there are still 240,000 yuan?"
"Dong Zhuo's 200,000 yuan was not given, and the remaining 40,000 yuan was the fraction of each family.
The total amount was 40,000 years ago."
Liu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Forget it just a fraction.
As for Dong Zhuo's 200,000 yuan, don't give it to him.
Anyway, it will be deducted from his share.
You will send someone to send him 1 million yuan tomorrow morning."
Xun Yu asked in surprise: "My lord, didn't you secretly agree with Dong Zhuo to add two to one and make five?
Why did you give me one million yuan?"
Zhong Yao pointed at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo, you are too honest.
Dong Zhuo withheld the 200,000 yuan he promised, why should we honestly give him half of it?"
Liu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this matter is settled.
Zhang Ji, while I am leading the army on the expedition, you will stay in Luoyang and be responsible for raising food and grass.
Everyone with official positions in the court will stay.
If something happens to you, Zhong Yao headed the discussion and decided that all the staff of the general's office, except Zhang Ji, would accompany the general on the expedition."
Officials and staff all agreed: "No" Liu Cheng then said to the lieutenant general: "You must prepare for the expedition within three days, especially to mobilize the soldiers and strengthen their morale.
Although most of the Northern Army are veterans, some are new recruits. , have not experienced war yet, and heard that they are about to go to war.
The news may have ideological problems and worry about gains and losses, so veterans need to be enlightened.
This is very important.
This general has now ordered that the holidays of all soldiers in the army will be canceled from now on.
No one is allowed to leave the camp for any reason, and no one is allowed to leave the camp for any reason.
Anyone is required to go to the military camp to visit relatives.”
All the generals clasped their fists and responded loudly: "Yes" Late at night, Zhang Ji came to Liu Cheng's study and saw him reading, so he cupped his hands and said, "General, please find your subordinates."
Liu Chengdao: "I asked you to come here because I have something to do.
After I leave with my army, you can spread the news that Yang Biao and Huang Wan are the masterminds behind spreading unfavorable remarks against Dong Zhuo.
Take a look at the news first.
If Three days after my general led his troops to leave, there has been no movement from Dong Zhuo, so you spread the news.
We must give Dong Zhuo Find something to do.
Although Li Ru is powerful, he is only one person.
Most of those who seek refuge with Dong Zhuo are not sincere.
The only thing Dong Zhuo can use is force.
He is really not good at other aspects.
But I believe that Li Ru collects intelligence information.
His methods should not be bad.

Those remarks have been circulated for several days, so he should have found some clues."
Zhang Ji cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
Later, Wang Yue, the commander of the Shadow Guard Division, was brought in by Zhang Liao to "meet the general."
Liu Chengdao: "In a few days, this general will lead his army on an expedition.
I believe you have also received the news."
Wang Yue cupped his fists and said, "Yes, general, what are your orders?"
Liu Chengdao: "This general wants you to immediately send capable personnel to Hedong to investigate the intelligence of the bandit army.
Who are the current leaders of the bandit army and their names?
How many divisions are they divided into?
How many troops do they have?
What are their weapons, armor and equipment?
What are the current leaders of the bandits?
Where has it been captured?
These towns, etc., the more detailed the information related to the bandits, the better.
In three days, our army will break camp and set off.
It will take two days to cross the river to reach Mengjin, so you have five days.
Our army will arrive in Mengjin in five days.
I, the general, want to hear from you.
The more detailed the report, the better.”
Wang Yue cupped his fists and said: "Follow your orders."
The day before the expedition, Liu Cheng came to Qiao Mansion to meet Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
As their fiancé, it was necessary to meet them before leading the army to the expedition.
What Liu Cheng did not expect was that Cai Yan was also there, and she was following them.
They discussed piano skills.
When the three girls heard the maid's report that Liu Cheng was coming, they were ready to go to the front door to greet them.
However, before they could get up, Liu Cheng walked in.
He glanced around and said with a smile, "It turns out Wen Ji is here too."
The three girls made a blessing gift to Liu Cheng together.
Cai Yan said: "The slaves are here to compete with the two sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
I don't want the general to arrive, so Yan will leave."
Liu Cheng quickly held up his hands and said, "I, the general, just wanted to hear the three ladies perform their piano skills on each other.
Wouldn't it be too disappointing for Wen Ji to leave?"
Xiao Qiao also said: "Brother An Ran is right, sister Wenji just stay.
We have just started, how can you leave?"
After Liu Cheng and Da Qiao Xiao Qiao tried their best to persuade her to stay, Cai Wenji finally stayed.
Liu Cheng sat aside and had a drink while admiring the three peerless beauties displaying their talents.
It was very comfortable.
After the talent competition, the four of them started chatting.
Nowadays, the war between men and women is not as serious as the morale in Song and Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere is much more open.
Da Qiao asked: "Why is Brother An Ran here today?
The military affairs in the mansion are not busy."
Liu Chengdao: "I will go on an expedition tomorrow, and I am here to say goodbye to you today."
"Ah, going on an expedition."
Xiao Qiao was surprised and asked, "Why don't we know about such a big thing like an expedition?
By the way, who are we going to conquer this time?"

Seeing Da Qiao and Cai Yan looking at him, Liu Cheng said: "There is a group of bandits in Baibo Valley, Hedong.
They have captured most of Hedong County, and even parts of Bingzhou Shangdang County and Sili Hanoi County have been attacked."
When bandits are wreaking havoc, I will lead the troops this time.
The military expedition to suppress the bandits is a confidential matter.
The court has blocked the news in order to delay the time for the bandits to know the news.
The people in the market don't know about it yet.
It's normal for you not to know.
But today you know it, but Do not mention it to anyone else” Da Qiao said: "Brother An Ran, don't worry, we will never tell anyone.
Our sisters will go see you off tomorrow."
Liu Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to send it off.
Since the expedition is a secret matter, the less people know about it, the better.
Therefore, the specific time of the expedition has not been determined yet."
Cai Yan said to Liu Cheng: "I think the general is worried about the two sisters.
It doesn't matter.
I will come to play with them often."
"Thank you very much, Wen Ji."
Liu Cheng thanked him, and then said to the Qiao sisters: "After I go on the expedition, you'd better not go out and wander around on weekdays.
Dong Zhuo's soldiers are used to burning, killing, and plundering, and they simply ignore Wang's laws. , I'm not here, if something happens to you, I can't save you from a distant fire.
If something happens at home, you can go to Shang Shulang Zhong Yao.
He is a colleague with my uncle, and he will definitely find a way to solve it for you."
The Qiao sisters had experienced several crises and were no longer ignorant little girls.
They also knew that the world outside was difficult and dangerous.
They paid great attention to Liu Cheng's words and nodded in agreement.
Just after midnight, Liu Chenggong took Li Ru, Zhu Jianping, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Zhang Ji and other staff to the Northern Army camp.
At this time, the Northern Army soldiers had just been awakened by the whistle and were nervously gathering their troops.
All preparations had been completed long before dark, and now the gathering was just a matter of routine.
The soldiers put on their armor, carried their bags, and took their weapons and crossbows and quickly ran to a fixed location on the school field to assemble the entire team.
This kind of gathering training has been carried out many times.
The soldiers are so familiar with it that they come every once in a while. , has long been commonplace.
Although this time it is a real expedition, it is no different from usual, except that many soldiers are more or less nervous.
The subordinate officers of the Sima and the captains of each school were gathering troops in their respective areas, counting the number of people and inspecting the equipment.
Several captains were called to the general ordering platform by Liu Cheng's people.
Liu Cheng asked Wu Fu: "The grain, grass and military supplies that Zhang Ji has raised will be temporarily stored here, and then transported to the battle front through here.
Is it enough to give you six troops?"
Wu Fu cupped his fists and said: "Three thousand people are enough, General, don't worry."
Liu Cheng looked at his subordinate staff.
Jia Xu himself was the military advisor of the General's Mansion and his subordinate officer.
Zhu Jianping was just the owner and interviewer of the Recruitment Hall of the General's Mansion.
He had to have another official position on his way to the army.
He He said to Zhu Jianping: "Zhu Jianping, I appoint you to join the army and to accompany the army as counselor of military affairs and military aircraft."
Zhu Jianping bowed his hands and said: "I obey."
Liu Cheng looked at Xu Shu again and said: "Xu Shu, I order you to walk in front of the tent as a Langguan and listen to the orders at any time."
Xu Shu immediately clasped his fists and bowed and agreed: "Take the order."
"Shi Tao" Shi Tao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My subordinate is here."
"Appoint you as the grain and grass officer, accompanying the army as the governor of grain, grass and ordnance" In Liu Cheng's view, Shi Tao was a bit of a literary person and should be a good hand in administration and logistics, so he was asked to take charge of food and grass.

This was a high degree of trust.
You must know that this official only has the rank of chief general.
Only close confidants can take the responsibility.
If it is left to others, the general will not be at ease.
Shi Tao also didn't expect that he would be appointed as the grain and grass officer.
He immediately clasped his fists and agreed: "I obey."
Liu Cheng's eyes fell on Changshui Colonel Du Kai.
The Changshui Academy was the only one among the five schools of the Northern Army that had not undergone large-scale restructuring.
However, after more than a month of reorganization, the combat effectiveness and military discipline had improved.
All aspects have been improved, and the equipment has also been updated.
"Du Kai" Du Kai stood up and cupped his fists and said: "Here" "Appoint you as the vanguard, lead three thousand riders to clear the way, rush to the Shaanxi County ferry as quickly as possible, and use fishing boats and wooden boats to lay pontoons on the river for the main force of the army to cross the river."
"Take orders":
