Verse 134: The Lord of the Eight Schools

In 188 A.D., the fifth year of Zhongping. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty recruited He Jin to lead the army to the western suburbs of Luoyang. After the performance, Emperor Ling of Han was furious and reprimanded He Jin for "not being careful in the army"! Immediately, Emperor Ling issued an order to recruit 24,000 strong men from Luoyang West Park and set up eight schools to lead them.

Emperor Han Ling suddenly issued an order, which caught the general He Jin a little off guard. Regarding the Eighth School of the West Garden, many court officials, including He Jin, have heard of it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the establishment of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden is that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was wary of He Jin, but no one could have imagined that the establishment of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden was so sudden!

The establishment of the eighth school was already an ironclad matter, and that night He Jin urgently recruited Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Xun You and others to discuss the study.

He Jin frowned and rubbed his hands lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today the emperor suddenly issued an edict to set up the Eighth School of the West Garden, which really caught General Ben off guard!" I can't imagine that I am dedicated to serving the country, and I will arouse the emperor's suspicion! Hey, do you have a plan? ”

He Jin's words of "serving the country wholeheartedly", everyone who sat down basically didn't hear it.

He Jin, who was at the head of He Jin's right, narrowed his eyes and said, "What's so difficult about this? General, the army of the eight schools, how can the military heart only look at this leading captain. If the general manages to take the position of captain of these eight schools, doesn't that mean that these eight schools are really generals? ”

"Hmm!" He Jin nodded: "The original words are very much in line with my wishes!" Haha, if General Ben is in charge of these eight schools, who else in Luoyang City is my opponent, hahaha~~? ”

He Jin's forgetful appearance made Cao Cao, Xun You and the others secretly despise when they sat down, and even Yuan Shao's eyes flashed a trace of disdain!

A trace of worry flashed on Xun You's fair face, and he sighed secretly in his heart: Hey! It seems that the world of this great man is not at peace.

Xun You stood up and arched his hand at He Jin: "General, since you already know that the emperor is suspicious, if the general openly competes for the position of the eight captains, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire and deepen the emperor's suspicion?" What's more, how could the emperor completely let go of the Eighth Lieutenant and let others compete? ”

These words furrowed He Jin's brows again: "Then according to Gongda's intentions, this general should let it go?" ”

Stupid pig! Xun You scolded secretly in his heart, and continued: "No, the general should take it to check and balance!" ”

Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said: "Gongda's words are very good, and the general can accept it!" ”

He Jin is an unassertive person, and he has always been a "minority obeys the majority"! As soon as he heard that the two people agreed, he immediately changed his words and said: "This plan is feasible, so how can this half of the army be taken?" ”

Xun You twisted his beard and thought for a while: "Uncle Benchu is a lieutenant of the court, and he can take a school; Meng De was famous for his 'five-color stick' when he was young, and he could take a school; the original family will be Chun Yuqiong, and he is brave and martial, so he can take a school; this fourth school is ......"

He Jin asked, "Who should take the fourth school?" ”

"Guan Yan, Guan Wende!" Xun Yu paused for a moment and said word by word.

"Guan Wende?" He Jin hesitated.

This Guan Yan's leaning is really too confusing, he is the apprentice of Huangfu Song, and he also worked as a soldier Cao Peng under He Jin, and he was also recruited by the emperor into the palace to talk secretly for a long time.

If Guan Yan is the person he entered, why did Guan Yan only come to the general's mansion once since he returned from the expedition to the northwest? To say that Guan Yan is not his He Jin's person, but Guan Yan regards himself as He Jin's protΓ©gΓ© outside. Alas, it's really hard to do!

He Jin patted his forehead, and he really didn't know how to choose in his mind. Subconsciously, He Jin raised his head: "What about the public opinion?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes glanced at Yuan Shao, if nothing else, this Yuan Shao would definitely speak out against it. But this time it was really unexpected, I saw Yuan Shao close his eyes slightly, as silent as an old monk!

That's weird! Yuan Shao, who has always been at odds with Guan Yan, actually didn't object to Guan Yan's entry into the Eighth School?

In fact, when Yuan Shao came, Yuan Kui, the old fox, explained everything: If the party wants to take power, they must mess up the government and the opposition. The more chaotic the government and the opposition, the more opportunities the party members will take advantage of and regain control of the government!

The establishment of the Eighth School of the West Garden this time was a dispute between the emperor and the general. These two people are bound to install their cronies into the eighth school, and in the end, one person wins, and his strength increases greatly; One person is defeated, and the strength is reduced. And what Yuan Kui wants to see is not this, but a lose-lose situation.

Therefore, the more ambiguous the person's identity, the more Yuan Kui wants to help him! Only by muddying the waters of this pool can the party members fish in troubled waters.

Yuan Shao, who had already received Yuan Kui's instructions and explanations, naturally would not object to Guan Yan, whose "identity is ambiguous", entering the Eighth School.

He Jin glanced at everyone, and when he saw that no one objected, he nodded and said: "Then this matter is decided, and the Japanese general will play the recommended roster to the emperor!" ”

At this time, in the Anfu Palace, Emperor Han Ling was standing in front of the desk with his hands down, and Jian Shuo was standing behind him with his hands down. There was a yellow satin on the desk, and dozens of names were densely written on the yellow thick.

Emperor Han Ling said quietly: "Jian Shuo, do you see these individuals, which ones are credible and can enter the Eighth School?" ”
