From Zhang Yuntian's recuperation to the crusade against Han Sui, it took nearly a year, although the actual battle time was very short, but the preparations before the war between the two sides were very long, and the road in Xiliang was rugged and difficult, and there was a long delay on the way back and forth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since Wang Yun began to recruit talents, he suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

Very few of the young talents in the opposition came to serve in the imperial court, but the important ministers who fought against the Yellow Turban Rogues in various local counties and counties all returned, and the empty cities were all seized by the local princes, and as for those princes, no one responded to the call of the imperial court at all.

After Wang Yun's introduction, Zhang Yuntian figured out the identities of these people, the higher positions in the civil officials include Wang Lang, Jin Xuan, Kong Rong and Han Xuan, Kong Rong needless to say, when Cao Cao supported the emperor in the official history, he threw away the important town of Beihai, came back to serve alone, and was scolded by Cao Cao.

As for Wang Lang and others, there were originally cities in the south of Jingzhou, especially Han Xuan, who was not very good, but Huang Zhong and Wei Yan under him were very powerful, and I don't know if they brought them back together.

Among the generals, there is more Yang Feng, the commander of the White Wave Army, and the current position of general is the highest position among military attachés.

The so-called White Wave Army, in fact, is the same as Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, is a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, but after Zhang Jiao died of illness, the Yellow Turban Army was divided, except for the remnants of the Yellow Turban who were wandering in the Central Plains, all the others changed their flags, some fell into the grass, some set up their own doors to conquer the city, and some were subject to the edict of the Han Dynasty.

I didn't expect that a person of this level could become a general, presumably this is the chess piece that Wang Yun used to balance Zhang Yuntian!

At this time, the princes of the Central Plains also underwent great changes, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turban Liukou, Cao Cao took the opportunity to proclaim himself the state pastor, and his strength was growing day by day, and he was under the pretext that his father Cao Song died in Xuzhou, and led the troops to sweep Tao Qian's army, and had captured nearly half of the cities.

Yuan Shao based in Jizhou, annexed Bingzhou and Qingzhou at the same time, hit Gongsun Zan to the north, and defeated Zhang Yan repeatedly to the west.

Yuan Shu of Shouchun was bent on wanting the jade seal, so he led his troops to march south, cooperated with Yan Baihu and others in Wu County, and launched a fierce battle with Sun Jian, who had just returned to Jiangdong.

In short, all forces are busy expanding their strength, only Emperor Xian's subordinates, there is a group of officials who eat Yulu, but there is no actual land and army, if it is not for Liu Zhang in Shu and Liu Biao in Jingzhou to pay taxes regularly, I am afraid that it will not take half a year, and Emperor Xian will not even have food to eat.

After more than a year in power, Wang Yun suddenly aged a few years old, his hair was a little gray, and his wrinkles were a little deeper, because he finally realized a serious problem, although the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, but the world is no longer the original world.

Since the military power was transferred from the centralized power to the local power, the imperial court's control over these princes has become worse and worse, so that even if Wang Yun wants to take back the military power, he is powerless.

"It's rare for all the families to gather today, if there is a book, let's go down and rest if there is no book!"

Although Emperor Xian was only a teenager, he was still reasonable, and now that the Qiang rebellion in Xiliang had calmed down and stabilized the rear, this made his brows stretch a little.

"The old minister has a book!"

Wang Yun bowed down to the Son of Heaven and said slowly: "If there are strong and powerful people today, each with ambitions, it is difficult to surrender for a while, the old minister thinks that His Majesty should accept it with a benevolent heart and show Long's grace, so that the society can be stable, and as for the matter of military power, it is better to think about it in the long run!" ”

It seems that Emperor Xian has long proposed to take back the military power, but this matter is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.

The soldiers are recruited by the local heroes, and they will be the families and henchmen of the local heroes, and even the people support the heroes more than the imperial court, not to mention that the current imperial court has almost no troops that can be used except for Zhang Yuntian's Xiliang army and Yang Feng's Baibo army.

Zhang Yuntian deliberately concealed the real strength of the troops, only saying that the military strength that could be called up was 15,000 people, and Yang Feng's Baibo army had a good strength, with more than 50,000 people, but the level of the soldiers was uneven and lacked training, so Wang Yun assessed according to this situation, and now the imperial court is still reluctant to protect itself, what can be used to deter the heroes, as long as no one rebels, it is already thankful.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, but I don't know how to show Longen so that these heroes can obey their orders?"

After all, Emperor Xian is a child, and his knowledge and experience are extremely limited, and many big and small things need the help of ministers to come up with ideas.

And the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, talented people have not yet emerged, and those who can speak are basically those who rely on the merits of their ancestors and are incompetent people who are eating their old books, and Wang Yun is considered to be an outstanding existence among them.

So there was silence for a long time, and finally Wang Yun took the conversation back:

"The old minister thinks that among the heroes, Yuan Shao is the strongest, and he is the closest to Chang'an, so he should be treated favorably, since he has occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou and Merge Prefecture, he simply handed over the appointment of these state pastors to him! Then the title will be promoted to the first level, and a thousand silk horses will be given as a reward! ”

Among the many local heroes, the most headache for Wang Yun is Yuan Shao of Hebei, Jizhou is full of talents, the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family is very prestigious among the scholars, and Jizhou is a big granary, rarely make trouble, the soldiers are rich, and recently Yuan Shao annexed Qingzhou and the state, the power is better than before, it is a great threat.

Wang Yun paused, looked at Zhang Yuntian again, hesitated for a while, and then said: "In addition, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, although his power is not strong now, is a good talent who is loyal to the country, and the old minister thinks that Tao Qian should be dismissed and Xuzhou should be given to Cao Cao to show his favor!" This person once had a little affection for the little girl, and the old minister was willing to marry Diao Chan to him for the sake of the country, so that the Central Plains and the northern region would be restored to the grasp of His Majesty, and with the support of Jingzhou and Shu, the revitalization of the Han family would be just around the corner! ”

"I don't know what the secretary thinks?"

The immature voice of Emperor Xian echoed in the main hall, and the ministers under the audience didn't have any ideas, anyway, they didn't marry their own daughters, and they didn't spend their own money to add officials to the knighthood, so they all had no objections, and they all expressed their approval, and patted Wang Yun's sycophants.

Zhang Yuntian frowned, Wang Yun, the old boy, had robbed himself of his first work before, and he hadn't bothered with him yet, but this time he had to marry Diao Chan again! Isn't that treating oneself as air? He took a step forward and clenched his fists:

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that what the prime minister said is a plot with the tiger, which is really not a good strategy!"
