Luoyang, Deyang Palace.

Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, who had not been to the early dynasty for a long time, rarely came early, refreshed, with a red face, Zhang Rang waited left and right, and presided over the court meeting in the Golden Palace.

After the civil and military generals shouted long live, they each returned to two shifts, and Taifu Yuan Kui took the lead out of the class and bowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a book to play!" ”

"What did Taifu do?"

Yuan Kui suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, sent an urgent report, saying that Liaodong was too shou Liu Yi, and Gongsun Zan was too shou of Youbeiping, and Gongsun Zan was embarrassed, and he had already killed Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaoxi, and Liaoxi County had been taken by Gongsun Zan as his own. ”

Liu Hong shouted loudly: "Bold, killing the local county guard without permission, his crime should be punished, father, why didn't this matter be reported!" ”

The father in Liu Hong's mouth is Zhang Rang, thinking that this emperor is also a strange through the ages, and he worships a eunuch as his father.

Zhang Rang replied with a sharp duck voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid what Lord Taifu said is not complete, it is better to let the general play this matter!" ”

"Oh?"

Liu Hong glanced at the general He Jin in surprise.

He Jin immediately went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, Gongsun Zan of Youbeiping and Liu Yi of Liaodong jointly wrote a letter, saying that Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaoxi, had bad intentions, and pretended to use the hands of Wuhuan people in Liaoxi to burn and loot everywhere, doing all kinds of evil, hoarding a large amount of grain and grass in the county, recruiting troops and buying horses, and having long had a heart of disobedience. ”

"Taifu, is there such a thing?"

Yuan Kui's body was stunned, why did this great general He Jin always fall to Zhang Rang's side with his elbow recently, did he also lose his mind.

In fact, after Li Jinjin donated five boxes of jewelry and money, He Jin already regarded Liu Yi as a confidant, isn't it just a little Liaoxi Taishou, who is innocent of death, He Jin doesn't want to lose Liu Yi's fortune tree because of this trivial matter.

Yuan Kui is also an old man, and quietly understands the stakes, and can't help but reply: "The old minister also listened to what Liu Yu said in the book of Youzhou Assassin History, and the reason for it must have been thoroughly investigated by the general. ”

Anyway, there is no proof of death, Yuan Kui can't do useless work for a person who can't be beaten with eight poles, and Liu Yu, of course, has to act as this behind-the-scenes person, and he Yuan Kui will not be stupid to bear this burning matter.

Poor Liu Yu was cheated again this time, as a state assassin, everything went wrong, and he could only bear it.

This is also why Liu Yan will try his best to defend the assassin Shi to change the state pastor in the future.

Although the history of the assassin and the state pastor are different from each dynasty, in the Han Dynasty, the distinction between the two is very clear.

First, the functions and powers are different, during the Han Dynasty, the state pastor was responsible for all the affairs of local administration, and the assassin was only responsible for inspecting local officials and playing a supervisory role.

Second, the background of the establishment is different, the establishment of the history of the assassin is to achieve centralization, strengthen local control, and facilitate management; The main purpose of the state is to recruit soldiers and garrison the city for each state itself.

Third, the degree of control was different, during the Han Dynasty, the state pastor not only realized the overall management of administrative affairs, but also mastered the power of the local army, which was actually regarded as a prince of one side, and the central government maintained weak control over the local government; The Assassin strengthened local control and achieved centralization.

After going back and forth, the matter became a beginning and an end, and Liu Yi and Gongsun Zhan were not only not at fault, but also meritorious.

He Jin glanced at He Miao, the general of the cavalry, and He Miao, the general of the cavalry, understood, knelt down on the Danqi and said: "Your Majesty, Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Du has bad intentions and rebellious hearts, and it is obvious that this time it is a dead innocent, not a pity, but Liaodong Taishou Liu Yi quickly reported to the horse, saying that the eastern Xianbei has the intention of invading Liaodong, and wants to lead the troops to the desert, chase Xianbei in the north, raise the prestige of my Han Dynasty, and expand the territory for Your Majesty." ”

"Okay!"

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed, and the kings had always regarded the expansion of the territory as particularly important, which was a great achievement to be recorded in the historical records, and he could also smile after his death.

"Quasi-play!"

Liu Hong said without thinking.

He Jin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, sending troops to Mobei is a major event of the country, Liaodong has few soldiers and thin food, in the opinion of the minister, Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, can send a team of elite soldiers to Liu Yi's subordinates, and at the same time raise the grain and grass of the whole state as a backup, so as not to worry about the future." ”

This......

Yuan Kui's body trembled, in this way, I am afraid that Liu Yi will be even more blind in the future, isn't this raising tigers for trouble, what is this general He Jin thinking in his mind.

Emperor Han Ling thought for a moment and said, "Accurate! ”

"Taifu, you drafted the will for me, and ordered, Liu Yi as the general of the expedition to the north, continue to lead the Liaodong Taishou, Xuansu County Taishou, and command the headquarters of the soldiers and horses to send troops to Mobei, and the grain and grass should be prepared by Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, and there must be no mistakes."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have heard of the change, and the generals of the four expeditions are added to the war, although they are not permanent, when their status is extremely prominent, ranking fourth among the military generals.

The first rank of the military generals is the general, the Shangzhu country: the honorary position has no privileges and no authority, the general Wei, the metropolitan governor, and the great Sima: all belong to the official position, and there is only one official position in a country.

The second rank of military generals is the hussar general, the chariot general, the tiger wing general, the dragon general, and the general of the Chinese army.

The third rank of military generals is the former general, the left general, the right general, and the rear general.

The fourth rank of military generals is the general of the east, the south, the west, and the north.

Yuan Kui said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, Liu Yi's background is unknown, and he is a local county guard, it is not suitable to control heavy troops, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, and I hope that Your Majesty will withdraw the holy decree." ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

Yuan Kui's protégé and party friends hurriedly echoed.

Emperor Han Ling's face was stunned, like a black cloud, and he scolded sharply: "This matter has been decided, and the decree will be passed on quickly, if Liu Yi is unsuccessful or loses in his attempt to fight the thief, he will be dismissed and investigated." ”

Emperor Han Ling went down to the court hall angrily, and his temper was up, and he really looked a little bit like the emperor.

……

Xiangping City, Liaodong.

In the Taishou Mansion, Liu Yizheng and Li Tao discussed the matter of sending troops, and Liu Yi naturally did not know about the disputes in the Luoyang court.

Li Tao said slowly: "Lord, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, if we want to defeat Xianbei, a tribe with hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, we need to fundamentally recognize it." ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Yi said solemnly: "What the military advisor said is very true. ”

Youzhou, located in the northernmost frontier of the Han Empire, governs Dai County, Shanggu, Zhuo County, Guangyang, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Lelang, Xuansu ten counties plus Liaodong vassal country, and governs Guangyang Jixian County.

From the end of the Qin Dynasty to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu rampant in Mobei, repeatedly attacked the Han Dynasty, and Youzhou bore the brunt and suffered the most.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sent 320,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north and was defeated by Baideng.

To Emperor Wu, the power of the whole country hit the Xiongnu hard, and the Xiongnu turned from prosperity to decline.

Guangwu Zhongxing, Liu Xiuxing's strategy of contraction, giving up the border towns, accumulating national strength, when the Xiongnu infighting, the Southern Xiongnu entered the Great Wall and attached to the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu were driven away and turned to Europe, but unfortunately at this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty court officials were corrupt and the armament was wasted, and they missed the opportunity, and were taken advantage of by the Xianbei branch of the Eastern Hu, and they got the hometown of the Northern Xiongnu.
