Chapter VIII Conscription of Foreign Troops
The General's Mansion is noisy. The six lieutenants of the Xiyuan Army, Hu Ben Zhonglang and all kinds of sages and talents in the world gathered here, but at this time they were arguing.
Even though it's the middle of the night, the lights are on.
"General, I'm waiting for you to conspire with the eunuch! Why didn't Kang Chenggong enter Luoyang? Isn't it that he has a grudge in his chest and has not vomited, waiting for the general to kill the eunuch? Yuan Shao stood respectfully in front of He Jin, arched his hand and said, "General, this is the time to plot against the eunuchs, why can't you make a decision?" β
Behind Yuan Shao, there was the old and strong He Kuang, the armor-clad and stubborn Wu Kuang, and the heroic young scholars, all of whom looked at the general of the previous head, almost overwhelming He Jin.
These days, these scholars are always talking in his ear about killing the Ten Standing Attendants, killing the Ten Standing Attendants, but who has ever asked him if he wants to kill the Ten Standing Attendants?
"He Jin is not a treacherous person, why does he want to put the hilt of the sword on his former benefactor?" He Jin closed his eyes in some pain and said, "What's more, the matter in the palace is undecided, how dare you use the sword soldiers?" β
Celebrity Feng Ji arched his hand and said: "General...... Is it afraid of the general of the chariot? β
Jingzhao Yin He Miao was impeached by Liu Hongbiao as the general of the Che Cavalry after the impeachment of Ma Yue, that is, after opening the Mansion from the Che Cavalry, he officially parted ways with He Jin, and the Che Cavalry Mansion was opposite the General's Mansion. And on the day He Miao became a chariot general, Dong Chong was also appointed as a hussar general.
The three governments do not have the same heart as each other, fighting for power and profit, and few people in the huge court understand why they want to make such an arrangement today.
Simply, I feel that this majesty is mediocre.
Many people have heard it, He Jin said that the matter in the palace is undecided, but I am afraid that there are two meanings, one is that although Liu Hong is seriously ill, the prince has not yet been established. The second is Queen He, the five departments of the Seventh Army outside plus the six captains of the Xiyuan Army control all the soldiers and horses except for the captain's department, what kind of wind and waves can Jian Shuo hold up alone? Liu Wei's ascension to the throne is already an established fact, and it will definitely be Empress He who will be in power and the general will assist the government, but Empress He was pushed by eunuchs to ascend to the throne of the mother of the country...... No matter how she is a woman, I'm afraid I can't be ruthless.
He Jin nodded and said, "I'm holding my sister's intentions here, but Zhu Miao's kid is now pleasing the palace everywhere, and when the time comes, ...... Is there anything else about me? β
The general's face was a little ridiculed, these celebrities, scholars, all voted to the general's mansion, and for a while, the prestige of the mansion was unparalleled at home, but the pressure was getting bigger and bigger. He now somewhat understands the distress of the brother-in-law who fell asleep in Wanjintang at the beginning. The heroes of the world are one person and one idea, so many people want to glorify their ancestors, and even many people have a feud with the eunuchs, of course they want to destroy the eunuchs. But how many of these people really think about themselves as a great general?
Sister Queen He likes eunuchs, even if she cuts off the old relationship, but if she does everything she can to punish her sister, even if her nephew ascends to the ninth five in the future, if Zhu Miao's villain enters some slander and is exempted from the general's position, what is left of him He Jin?
On the contrary, it is these people who have made great efforts in their own mansions and have a reputation, and they don't need to think about it in the future.
Don't they know when I He Jin is on the throne, whether Xiao Liu Wei is on the throne or Xiao Liu Xie is on the throne, and I am both uncles? I will definitely be able to keep my glory and wealth, but these people insist on forcing me.
"General, there is a plan in the downstream." Yuan Shao knelt down and said, "You don't have to turn against the queen, and the queen will naturally get rid of the eunuchs when the time comes." β
For a while, everyone's eyes were on Yuan Shao's face, and He Jin also leaned forward and said, "What is the original plan?" β
Yuan Shao got up and said: "The general sent a secret letter, secretly dispatched the world's soldiers and horses to play the banner, and the Qing monarch removed the eunuchs, as soon as the army arrived, this matter could not be blamed by the queen!" β
It was just a sentence, but everyone in the church was stunned, and there was no shortage of resourceful people present, but no one thought of it, or no one dared to think of such a plan.
Cao Cao was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Originally, if you want to kill the ten permanent attendants, you can do it with only a few attendants, but this move is to set yourself on fire, absolutely not!" β
"Why not?" Yuan Shao didn't look at Cao Cao's angry eyes at all, but just said to He Jin: "General Weijiahainei, as long as we recruit them outside the city, we will control them and prevent them from entering the city, the queen's side will definitely be in chaos, and it will not work if they are not killed." It's not a good strategy, but it's the only way to save face for you and the queen. β
Feng Ji reacted at this time, and also clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Yes, this plan was very clever at the beginning, and then the queen will have to kill the eunuch, but before that, you have to see Your Majesty's ...... first."
His expression was a little cold, and the meaning of the words in his mouth was self-evident, to see if Liu Hong was dead first, and when the time came, he would enter the palace and neutralize Liu Wei as the emperor, and the overall situation would have been decided.
"Shut up!" Cao Cao was extremely angry when Feng Ji and Yuan Shao said that this matter was an established fact, and pointed at Yuan Shao and said: "Those border troops are not so easy to control, what if they can't be controlled?" β
He Jin didn't listen to Cao Cao's words, but just looked at Yuan Shao and couldn't make up his mind, and asked, "Originally, do you think this thing can be done like this?" β
He Jin doesn't care what border army is messing up, the general who controls the power of the world's soldiers and horses, can he still be afraid of a few veteran ruffians in the frontier? All he worries about is how to save his face!
"It will work!" Yuan Shao was so excited that he boxed his fist and pointed to the north and said: "Now that the soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou Assassin Shi Dingyuan are close at hand, the general has a secret letter, and the Bingzhou army will arrive in an instant, and the queen will definitely be obedient at that time!" β
"No, no, no!" Even if no one paid attention to Cao Cao, he hurriedly waved his hand, although the people in this room didn't look up to him much, "Most of the soldiers in Bingzhou are Hun Tuge, and even Ding Yuan may not be able to control them, let alone us!" β
Cao Cao has another reason in his heart, some time ago, when the old lady Cao was a lieutenant, he had a military situation, the Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu Shan died in a coup d'Γ©tat, and his son Yu Fuluo rebelled against Zhang Chun for the Han court but did not dare to return to the Xiongnu station, and now he is also stranded in the Sanhe area, once the soldiers and horses of the two roads merge, I am afraid that it will be more chaotic!
"Cut, Meng De is too careful." Feng Ji said disdainfully: "Since this is the case, Dong Zhuo of Hedong will be recruited again, he is all Qianghu under his command, and he has a mortal enmity with the Xiongnu and Tuge, and the two soldiers and horses will never join forces." β
"Then Dong Zhuo in Hedong supports the soldiers and respects you, who doesn't know that he harbors evil intentions? Feng Yuan Tu, you are uneasy and kind! β
"Meng Deyo Meng Deyo, it's not Feng Yuantu who said you, it's really too careful." Yuan Shao saw that He Jin had already been moved by his plan, and the biggest obstacle was this Cao Cao, who had been following behind his ass since he was a child, "Dong Zhuo is here to supervise the team, he has been mixed for most of his life, and even his son died when he fought for the court, what can Lao Ge do, even if he rebels, who will he do?" You and I are like brothers, don't you know me? You can't go wrong this time! β
Seeing that he was playing the emotional card to appease Cao Cao, Yuan Shao immediately surrendered his hand and said: "If the general is not at ease, you can recruit more people, ride the captain Bao Xin, that is with us, let him lead some soldiers and horses from Mount Tai, and Wang Kuang's strong crossbow to come over, and then let the Dongjun Taishou Bridge Mao garrison Chenggao, so that it can always be guaranteed." β
"And the general must recruit the world's strong troops to Luoyang." Yuan Shao pulled Cao Cao's arm and said to He Jin over and over again: "It is Your Majesty's intention to reuse eunuchs, now Mount Tai has not collapsed, but no one can say when, if Your Majesty goes, you will kill the eunuchs and not recruit foreign troops, what should you do if these people are reversed?" If you don't win them over to the same heart as the general's mansion, I am afraid that they will not be eunuchs under the banner of the Qing monarch at that time. β
Feng Ji also fanned the flames and said: "General, don't hesitate any longer, those border generals will come over at most two or three thousand soldiers and horses, how can there be more than 20,000 in the six schools of the West Park alone?" Several lieutenants were all leveled with a single charge, no matter how elite the border army was, could it still beat the heavily armed Northern Army? β
At the mention of the Northern Army, He Jin, who was already about to nod, suddenly raised his head, knocked lightly and asked, "What is the current state of the Northern Army?" β
Liu Biao, who served as the middle marquis of the "Hui General", arched his hand and said: "The infantry, shooting, tuncai, and Yue cavalry are all from my generation, but the four battalions are difficult to run short of armaments after years of war, and each battalion is full of 700. β
He Jin nodded, as long as the most elite northern army is in his own hands, he is not afraid of those border troops, who consume the largest financial expenditure every year to feed the fully armored soldiers, will they still be afraid of the border army that is not even worthy of leather armor? Thinking about it, He Jin nodded and asked, "The last one...... It's the Changshui Battalion, who is in charge of the troops, why don't you pull it over? β
"Changshui Captain Yan Xing......" Liu looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said: "He is Ma Yue's person, and he only respects Ma Yue's edict." The Changshui Battalion was overstaffed three times when Ma Yue led the troops to fight against Dongjun, and His Majesty later acquiesced in the fact that the 3,600 people in the Changshui Battalion were not reduced, so it ...... It's hard to pull together. β
"What!" He Jin looked very surprised, with some annoyance on his face, "The four battalions of the Northern Army add up to less than three thousand people, and he has three thousand six hundred people in one Changshui battalion?" β
"The general is angry, angry." Yuan Shu stood in front of Liu Biao, blocked Liu Biao, who He Jin was about to continue scolding, and arched his hand and said: "The general of the Changshui Camp doesn't have to worry, since the Changshui Camp only respects Ma Yue, it is better, isn't Ma Yue still locked up in Huangmen Temple, Your Majesty is seriously ill now, who else can think of him?" β
As he spoke, Yuan Shu pouted disdainfully: "I haven't heard him for half a year, and I really forgot about this person." β
He Jin sighed after hearing this, Yuan Shu was right, if the commander of the Changshui battalion does not move, it will not be commanded, and now there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north and south armies outside the Beijing Division, plus the troops of Captain Xiyuan, the border army will not be able to set off any storms even if it comes.
"In that case, then in the next few days, Jingsheng will go and let Yan Xing disarm and restore the establishment of the Changshui Camp with 700 people." He Jin waved his hand casually, and said to Yuan Shao: "Originally, since this is the case, then do as you say, and send a handwritten letter to Ding Yuan and others, ordering them to run to Luoyang...... Qingjun side! β
As soon as He Jin's words came out, some celebrities turned around and left the general's mansion, and even some of the lieutenants were dissatisfied, but they couldn't say anything because of their feelings.
The big picture is decided.
However, at this moment, a horse suddenly rushed outside the mansion, turned over and dismounted outside the general's mansion and hurriedly ran into it, knelt down in the atrium and shouted: "General, the northern army is urgent!" β
In the middle of the night, everyone was about to disperse, and suddenly he was frightened by the voice outside and had goosebumps, He Jin hurriedly stepped out and asked, "What's the matter?" β
The soldier arched his hand and said: "General, the northern army bombed the camp at the third watch, and the whole army of the Changshui battalion went to Luoyang, and the subordinates hurriedly came to report, I'm afraid it's ...... now."
Before they could finish speaking, the people in the shogunate felt the shaking of the ground, and the majestic horses galloped through the city, shining blades reflected the fire, and groups of soldiers with helmets and armor carrying all kinds of weapons swept in front of the palace gate.
Everyone ran outside the house, only to see this battalion of soldiers and horses gradually moving away and disappearing into the darkness.
Several lieutenants hurriedly turned over and went out of the city to gather troops, and Yuan Shu hurriedly called someone to call the former official of Yuan's mansion, and Ji Ling, the assistant governor of Gyeonggi, hurried to Chengyangmen.
At this time, the panting city gate guard was late, "General, the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army ......"
"Needless to say, the guards are all rubbish!" He Jin waved his hand and looked at Yuan Shao, who was very dependent: "Originally, they were ...... Storming the palace? β
"Attacking the palace, they are not enough to see." Yuan Shao looked in the direction of the palace gate, his brows furrowed deeply. "I'm afraid...... Ma Junhao is out of prison! β
