Zhang Yang's crying lasted for a long time before it slowly stopped.

Zhang Yang wiped away his tears of emotion with his hands. Then he slowly said, "From now on, if the emperor's uncle gives me any order, I will do it even if it means death."

"Put aside your words of willingness to die, since you are willing to come, I believe in your sincerity. You will still be the governor of Hanoi, but I must make it clear to you in advance that from today on, no soldier or soldier can pass through Hanoi County without my order. If you can't do it, then I can only let others do it."

"Don't worry, uncle. Even if I die, I will not let you down."

"In that case, General Zhang, please stand up."

Zhang Yang stood up tremblingly, then took a closer look at Liu Yu.

He had not expected Liu Yu to be so young, judging from his age, he was only in his twenties. But the aura in his words was clearly many times more mature than his age.

He exuded an extraordinary aura, which made Zhang Yang admire him.

Although Uncle Liu's words just now were harsh, at least he was not punished. He can still keep his position as the governor of Henei and everything can go back to the way it was before.

Liu Yu suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "Does General Zhang have any friendship with Sima?"

"To be honest with you, uncle, we are just acquaintances, but we don't have much of a relationship."

Liu Yu was not surprised at Zhang Yang's words. Aristocratic families like the Sima family had extremely high standards and it was unlikely that they would look down upon Zhang Yang, who came from a warlord family.

"What does General Zhang think of Sima?"

"A family of talented people with great strategies. Does the uncle want to recruit them?"

"I can't say I'm recruiting. I'm just a little curious. The call for talents has been issued for such a long time. The Sima family is not far from Luoyang, but I haven't seen anyone from the Sima family come to serve."

"If the emperor's uncle wants Sima to serve him, I will go and pay him a visit when I return."

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I have already issued a call for talents. If they are willing to serve me, they will definitely come to see me. However, judging from the current situation, they don't seem to be willing to do so."

Liu Yu was not very fond of the Sima family of Henei, and he had no plan to issue an edict to recruit them. Of course, if they were willing to serve, Liu Yu would not mind arranging a position for them first.

However, as time goes by, when the time is right, he will uproot the Sima family.

The grown-up Sima Yi was too scary. He was patient like a tortoise and greedy like a wolf. The key was that he was in good health and ate everything with relish.

In a society where the average age is only 30, he has lived to be over 70 years old, with no back pain and no leg pain. This Ninja Turtle-like ability will make anyone in power wary.

Zhang Yang naturally didn't know that Liu Yu's attitude towards the Sima family was so complicated. Hearing Liu Yu say this, he didn't dare to say much. After talking with Liu Yu for a long time, he already had a clearer understanding of Liu Yu.

He is frank and natural, with a broad mind. If the Han Dynasty is to rise again, it will be this man who will rise again.

After Zhang Yang left, Liu Yu secretly calculated in his heart that his words had made him understand that he had the ability to crush him at any time. If he dared to make any unusual moves, he would be able to kill him even at the ends of the earth.

The person who gave Liu Yu the biggest headache in Luoyang City now was Gao Shun. Under Liu Yu's sugar-coated attack, Gao Shun did not change much. He remained silent and very respectful.

This lukewarm attitude made Liu Yu feel helpless. He felt like he was punching cotton, with no force points at all.

After he came to a high position, whether he was recruiting civil officials or military generals, this situation happened once. He was approachable, spoke sincerely, and looked eager to recruit talents, which could quickly make people fall in love with him.

But Gao Shun refused to listen and was still thinking about Lu Bu.

Gao Shun's behavior made Liu Yu very confused. If it is said that Guan Yu in history was thinking about Liu Bei, it was because Liu Bei treated Guan Yu very well. They slept in the same bed, rode in the same car, ate, lived and traveled together, and their relationship was closer than that of brothers.

No matter how courteous Cao Cao was to Guan Yu, it could not reach the level of Liu Bei.

But Gao Shun was different. He was just a general under Lu Bu. The courtesy Lu Bu showed him was not even a little bit inferior to that shown to Guan Yu.

In Lu Bu's camp, Gao Shun, an innocent man, was an outlier. He did not drink and it was difficult for him to get along with his colleagues. Therefore, he must have been lonely, isolated and ostracized in Lu Bu's tent.

In a situation like this, if it were someone else, they would have left on their own initiative without even Liu Yu's persuasion.

The ruler chooses his subjects, and the subjects choose their ruler. This is not surprising.

Xu Huang brought 20,000 soldiers and arrived at Luoyang City on the appointed day.

Seeing Liu Yu hurriedly saluted, Liu Yu looked at Xu Huang, his eyebrows were angry and his eyes were big, his appearance was quite majestic, and he looked quite imposing.

"Gongming, please get up quickly. You have come a long way and must be very tired. No need to be so polite."

As he spoke, Liu Yu walked forward, helped Xu Huang up, and comforted him again.

Seeing Xu Huang's eyes full of emotion, Liu Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart, this was the expression on a normal military general's face.

Designation like Gao Shun's is not normal.

Xu Huang continued to salute and said, "Uncle, I am here under the order of General Guan to bring 20,000 soldiers. We are waiting three miles outside the city. Please advise me on how to accommodate these people."

Liu Yu sent people to invite Liu Bei, Gao Shun and others. When they met Xu Huang, there was another round of greetings.

After the greetings, they rode up to the soldiers. Liu Yu looked at the mighty and majestic soldiers and felt happy. It seemed that the training method he wrote during this period of time had begun to show results.

"Bo Ping, what do you think of these soldiers?"

"It is mighty and majestic, with extraordinary momentum. Given time, it will become a powerful force."

"How many elite soldiers of the Trap Camp can be picked out by these people?"

"It's hard to say. According to past experience, one in ten is already a very high ratio."

Liu Yu nodded, obviously agreeing with Gao Shun's opinion.

"I want you to pick some people from these people and train them into a trap camp. I have already asked people to rush to make horses and armor. You need to choose the number of people yourself. What do you think, Bo Ping?"

"only!"

Gao Shun answered Liu Yu's question with just one sentence.

Liu Yu felt resentful. Even if he could get him, he couldn't get his heart.

"Bo Ping, there is one more thing I need to tell you. If you want to follow Feng Xian, I will not force you. After you have trained these soldiers, I will let you leave. At that time, I will give the world a reason. It is not that you, Gao Bo Ping, did not keep your promise, but that I sent you back."

"Are you serious about what the Emperor said, uncle?" There was an obvious change in Gao Shun's words.

The few remaining thoughts in Liu Yu's mind also disappeared.

"I have great respect for a loyal and righteous man like Bo Ping, so how dare I deceive him?"

"Thank you, uncle. Don't worry, I have trained these soldiers rigorously. Their fighting power will definitely not be inferior to that of the Xianzhen Camp."
