Chapter 0321: The Eighth Army of the West Garden

The New Year is approaching, and he should be jubilant, but Peng Yu, who is in Chang'an, is not only not happy, but a little anxious.

I don't know what's wrong, at the end of the year, it is the time to look back on the past and look forward to the coming year, but at this time, many people have to toss, and if they don't find some awkwardness, it's like they can't sleep and eat.

Peng Yu looked at the holy decree from Luoyang in his hand, this will is undoubtedly a good thing, let Peng Yu recommend a general to serve in Luoyang, but Peng Yu was like accidentally eating a fly, and he was uncomfortable all over his body.

After Peng Yu asked Gao Wang, he finally had an in-depth understanding of this matter.

Peng Yu looked at the holy decree in his hand and pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "General He Jin has fallen on Dong Chong's path again." ”

…………

A month ago.

Dong Chong, who stayed in Mengjin, also found some tonic made of thousand-year-old ginseng and other rare things out of nowhere and presented them to His Majesty.

Don't underestimate Liu Hong's casual remarks, Liu Hong's words gave Dong Chong another opportunity to enter and leave Liu Hong's side at any time, and Dong Chong is a fuel-efficient lamp?

His Majesty, who served in less than a month, was extremely satisfied, and gradually became a little inseparable from Dong Chong's service.

And Dong Chong is much more mature, during this period, he never mentioned his official position, just went in and out of the palace to accompany His Majesty, in this case, the general He Jin could not find Dong Chong's handle, so he had to temporarily let it go.

The more Dong Zhong walks beside Liu Hong, the greater the chance of regaining power, especially Dong Chong, who has suffered several losses, is increasingly patient and waiting for an opportunity.

Opportunities come when they say they come.

When Liu Hong once lamented that the three passes of Luoyang were as solid as a rock, Dong Zhong immediately made a speech to His Majesty as the general of Mengjin Lane.

"Your Majesty, although Luoyang is solid now, there are still some loopholes, please let Your Majesty know about it."

Liu Hong was puzzled: "Oh? Aiqing, let's hear it. ”

Dong Chong took a deep breath and rethought the words he had thought about for a long time, and secretly felt that the time was quite ripe, His Majesty would definitely be happy when he heard the words, Dong Chong immediately said, "Your Majesty, whether it is Tiger Prison Pass, Mengjin Lane, Hangu Pass, the soldiers of these three passes are all built by Peng Yu himself, although the guards of the three passes have been replaced, but Peng Yu's prestige is still there, and the soldiers of the three passes are still subservient to Peng Yu today, please think twice." ”

Liu Hong waved his hand, disappreciating Dong Chong's advances, you must know that this army was established by Peng Yu single-handedly, and followed Peng Yu to fight in the east and west, Peng Yu's prestige is naturally still there, what can you do if you think twice? You can't make the soldiers have to be happy with the guards, right?

Dong Zhong saw that Liu Hong's attitude towards this matter was cold, and immediately said: "Your Majesty wants to completely control this army, you only need to do one thing, so the minister dares to guarantee that the army of Sanguan will only know Your Majesty from now on, and I don't know Peng Yu." ”

Dong Chong's words made Liu Hong a little interested, although Liu Hong was very relieved of Peng Yu, but after all, as an emperor, wouldn't it be better if he could make the soldiers happy and convinced of him?

Liu Hong asked, "How to behave?" ”

Dong Zhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you remember the time of the military parade in Tiger Park?" ”

Liu Hong pondered slightly, his heart moved, the day of the military parade in Tiger Park was when Liu Hong appointed Peng Yu as the captain of the thief school, the grand occasion of that day was vivid, how could Liu Hong not remember?

Liu Hong smiled and nodded, "How could I forget?" I'm still the Supreme General. ”

Dong Zhong looked at Liu Hong and seemed very happy, and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, Luoyang was in danger at that time, but Your Majesty paraded in the Tiger Garden to boost the morale of the army, so that there was a time to defeat Zhang Jiao in the future." ”

Liu Hong was even more satisfied when he heard this, thinking that Zhang Jiao was menacing at the beginning, but in just a few years, I am still there, the country is still there, but Zhang Jiao has been dead for a long time.

Dong Zhong hurriedly said, "After Your Majesty's military parade that day, the world will rejoice, Your Majesty's prestige will shake the world, now is the right time, why don't Your Majesty parade in Luoyang again?" ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he finally became a little interested, and couldn't help but ponder.

Dong Zhong exhaled and said, "Your Majesty will parade again in Luoyang, first, it can make Your Majesty's prestige shake the world again, second, it can make the soldiers of the three passes happy and convinced of the Supreme General, and third, Your Majesty can reset the soldiers of the three passes at this time, so that the soldiers of the three passes are only under the orders of the Supreme General, how can they still remember the call of others?" ”

Liu Hong was puzzled: "How to reset the soldiers?" ”

Dong Zhong was overjoyed, but his face was as usual, and he said urgently, "Your Majesty, you can disrupt the soldiers of the three passes and divide them into six armies, and then Your Majesty will appoint the commander of the six armies, so that this army will be under Your Majesty's control." ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and secretly thought, the soldiers of Sanguan are divided into six armies, which can invisibly have several more official positions, and these official positions are all appointed by themselves, so of course this army is under his own control, and the troops are scattered, and there is no need to worry about the leading general's ill intentions, this matter is really a wonderful thing.

Liu Hong was overjoyed and immediately ordered General Sanguan to lead the army to Luoyang West Park for a military parade.

When Gao Wang wanted to pass on the decree, Liu Hong suddenly remembered that there was another military pass, and immediately added the military pass to it, so that all the soldiers of the four passes rushed to Luoyang for a huge military parade.

At the time of the military parade, Liu Hong divided the four passes into two, the four armies were divided into eight armies, and the four passes were divided equally, and then set up He Jin, Jian Shuo, Lu Qiang, Dong Chong, Yu Qiong, Zhu Jun, Xia Mou seven generals each led an army.

As for the candidate for one of the generals, His Majesty did not appoint it, but sent a decree to the rear general Peng Yu to recommend one person to take on this position.

It turned out that when His Majesty was paraded in the West Garden, he felt a lot of emotion, and seemed to return to the time of the military parade in the Tiger Garden in a trance, and these soldiers were all established by Peng Yu, and the soldiers of the four levels were also handed over by Peng Yu on his own initiative.

His Majesty's holy decree, the ministers were in an uproar, appointing a general, His Majesty actually gave up to Peng Yu, which has never happened in Liu Hongchao, this kind of grace and this trust are enough to make Peng Yu stand even more in Liu Hongchao, a very popular minister.

At the end of the grand meeting of the eight generals of the West Garden, Jian Shuo and Lu Qiang of the eunuch group were naturally overjoyed to share the positions of the two armies in it for no reason, and Zhu Jun and Xia Mu of the civil official group were also ecstatic to share the positions of the two armies, although Dong Chong is still leading the first army by himself, and it seems that nothing has changed, but this matter is led by Dong Chong, in other words, Dong Chong will have more right to speak in the future.

In this way, the eunuch group, the civil official group, and the Dong faction are all satisfied, and only He Jin is the one who has been hit hard in this matter, although the general He Jin only leads the guards of one of the three passes, the Tiger Prison, but you must know that the elite army of the three passes is all in the Tiger Prison, and the remaining soldiers are either weak or have few soldiers, and the total is not more than half of the soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass.

But His Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and He Jin can only be helpless about it, fortunately, Yu Qiong is also a member of the He faction, so that the He faction also gets two places among them, and there is a general, His Majesty asked Peng Yu to recommend, so in this way, there should be three people in power among the He faction.

Moreover, the civil official group, the eunuch group, and the He faction are getting closer and closer because of Peng Yu, so to speak, only Dong Chong's army is still the only one in the Eighth Army who is a dissident, so although He Jin is a little dissatisfied in his heart, it is not unbearable, so he has to admit it.
