Chapter 169: Quest Four Completed

"Your Majesty, this subject feels that Zang Ba, who guards Hulao Pass, can serve as the defender of Yuzhou."

"Currently, Hulao Pass is guarded by Zang Ba and Hao Meng, and both of them are already at the Postnatal Third Heaven level. Leaving Hao Meng alone to guard Hulao Pass is enough!"

Soon, Cao Cao already had a suitable candidate to guard Yuzhou and immediately said to Liu Bian.

After hearing that it was Zang Ba, Liu Bian also nodded slightly, and the others, upon hearing that it was Zang Ba, also nodded one after another.

"Mengde is right. Currently, Zang Ba is indeed a good candidate. Since that is the case, the defender of Yuzhou will be served by Zang Ba."

"This humble subject obeys the edict! Your Majesty is wise!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately replied respectfully.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing Quest Four: The host's forces control six provinces of the Great Han Empire within six months."

"Reward the host with a Town-Legion Divine Beast!"

Just as Liu Bian was about to speak, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

After such a long time, Quest Four was finally completed. It was just that he did not know what the Town-Legion Divine Beast rewarded by the system was?

Forcibly suppressing the urge to check immediately, he had to solve the matter at hand before going back to check.

"Wenruo, draft an edict for me!"

After calming his excited mood, Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu sitting below and said to him with authority.

"This subject obeys the edict!"

Xun Yu, upon hearing this, immediately stood up, took the imperial edict brought by Li Liangcheng, and waited for Liu Bian's decree.

"Appoint the defender of Hulao Pass, Zang Ba, as the Fourth Rank General Who Conquers Rebels, organize a Yuzhou Army of fifty thousand, salary of five hundred and fifty shi, to take office immediately to guard Yuzhou."

"Appoint the former partial general under Jizhou Inspector Han Fu, Qu Yi, as the Fifth Rank General Who Subdues Rebels, organize a Jizhou Army of fifty thousand, salary of five hundred shi, to take office immediately to guard Jizhou."

"Appoint the former partial general under Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian, Cao Bao, as the Fifth Rank General Who Pacifies Wu, organize a Xuzhou Army of fifty thousand, salary of five hundred shi, to take office immediately to guard Xuzhou."

"Appoint the former partial general under Youzhou Inspector Liu Yu, Yan Rou, as the Fifth Rank General Who Crushes the Wuhuan, organize a Jizhou Army of fifty thousand, salary of five hundred shi, to take office immediately to guard Youzhou."

Although Liu Bian spoke very fast, Xun Yu still wrote it down without missing a word.

After Xun Yu finished writing the four imperial edicts, Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng immediately presented them to Liu Bian.

After taking a casual look, Liu Bian took out the Imperial Jade Seal and stamped it.

"Send these seven imperial edicts to their hands as soon as possible!"

After handing the imperial edicts stamped with the Imperial Jade Seal to Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng, Liu Bian instructed him solemnly.

"This servant obeys the edict. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this servant will definitely send them to the lords as soon as possible."

After bowing to Liu Bian, Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng exited the Imperial Study to arrange for the little eunuchs to deliver the edicts.

"If only the identity jade token could also transmit items not in the system mall!"

"And it can only transmit items purchased to the hands of the buyer."

Thinking that these imperial edicts still had to be arranged for people to send to everyone, Liu Bian could not help but exclaim.

"Now that the matters of the four province Inspectors and defenders are resolved, the new policies currently implemented by my Great Han Empire must also be slowly unfolded in these four provinces."

"If anyone dares to obstruct, the Inspectors of each province can discuss with the Six Ministries and handle it according to the situation."

"Tai'a, you also have the Shadow Guard personnel participate in this matter!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted, and they immediately replied solemnly to Liu Bian:

"We, your subjects, obey the edict!"

Everyone knew that from today on, these four provinces were afraid that quite a few people would be cleared out.

Moreover, back then, after Liu Bian's imperial edict spread throughout the Great Han world, only the three provinces of Sili, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou strictly executed Liu Bian's decree.

As for the other provinces and commanderies, except for those six provinces, Liu Yu and the other four had no way to shake the local aristocratic families at all.

Moreover, they themselves were also from aristocratic families, so it was not so easy to execute.

But now, these four provinces were all controlled by Liu Bian, so they had to be executed. If anyone dared to stop it, he would definitely let these aristocratic families see what it meant for an Emperor to be angry, with a million corpses floating!

"As for this third thing, we still have to wait for a few people."

After arranging the matters of the four provinces, Liu Bian began to talk to everyone about the third thing.

"Tai'a, bring in the people I asked you to find!"

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Liu Bian shouted to the Shadow Guard Commander, Tai'a.

"This subject obeys the edict!"

Tai'a replied respectfully, turned and exited the Imperial Study, but within a few minutes, he returned to the Imperial Study again.

However, this time, he was followed by four people, and everyone looked at the four people behind Tai'a.

Among them, following Tai'a were two old men, who looked quite spirited.

And the two people following these two old men were two young men. Everyone saw at a glance that these two were military generals, and both had the strength of a first-rate military general.

If they could have such strength without cultivating Martial Dao cultivation methods, then the talent of these two was still very strong.

After these four people entered, Liu Bian also used the Probe Eye to check them.

"Not bad, I never thought that these four people would all have Immortal Grade constitutions!"

After seeing that the constitutions of the four had all reached the Immortal Grade, Liu Bian could not help but say to himself secretly.

"Your Majesty, the people have arrived!"

Tai'a brought the four before Liu Bian and said respectfully to him.

"The Daoist Yu Ji, Zuo Ci!"

"This humble one, Gan Ning, Taishi Ci!"

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"

After the four arrived before Liu Bian, they immediately knelt down respectfully before him and shouted in unison:

"Rise!"

Seeing that the four's attitude was quite respectful, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and said with authority.

"Many thanks to Your Majesty!"

The four thanked him respectfully and then slowly stood up.

"I spent such great effort to find you four to come here because there is an important matter for you to do."

"I wonder if you four are willing to join my Great Han Empire?"

"To serve my Great Han Empire?"

Upon hearing this, the four bodies shook.

Gan Ning and Taishi Ci showed excitement and shouted loudly:

"Thanks to Your Majesty's appreciation, this humble one is willing to join the Great Han Empire and serve Your Majesty!"

And Yu Ji and Zuo Ci exchanged glances,

and also hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Thanks to Your Majesty's appreciation, this Daoist is willing to join the Great Han Empire and serve Your Majesty!"

From the expressions of the four, it was not difficult to see that Gan Ning and Taishi Ci were willing to join Liu Bian's command.

While Yu Ji and Zuo Ci were a bit reluctant. ===== CHAPTER 170 =====
