Chapter 150: Famous Men of the World
The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life......
First of all, let's find out where Meng Jin is.
Mengjin, the nearest city north of Luoyang! The imperial city, sitting in the north and facing south, the north gate of the palace city is a special passage for the royal family, leading directly to the mountain outside the city.
In the last years of Emperor Ling, the Eastern Han Dynasty was already crumbling, and after Emperor Ling's death, He Jin further wanted to kill all the eunuchs after killing Jian Shuo.
When Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and other eunuchs heard the news, they attacked first and killed him in front of the Jiade Hall in the palace. He Jin's subordinates Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, Yuan Shu and others learned that He Jin was killed, so they led troops to enter the harem and kill all the eunuchs.
On the afternoon of August 27 in the first year of Guangxi (189 AD), Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others were forced to pursue the soldiers and were trapped in the North Palace.
Behind the mountain is the Yellow River, next to the Yellow River, and the nearest city is Mengjin.
The night was very dark, and the ferry in Mengjin didn't know when a few big boats quietly came, and the officer standing at the bow with a torch was Gao Shun, who had not appeared in a few episodes.
Twenty days ago:
The incense in the Taoist temple is always ethereal, with some leisurely smell wafting into the distance, and the palace always likes to light those very strong fragrances, and spices are not very cheap in China.
Agarwood, ambergris...... The strong fragrance did not expel the gloom and blood from the palace, and what could be gained except to add another heavy burden to the heads of the common people? Does it show royal majesty? Liu Wei doesn't like the pungent smell, he always reminds himself of living in that haze chemical city.
In the backyard of the Taoist temple, Liu Wei drank the first batch of tea in the new season this year, in this era, there was no coffee, no carbonated drinks, Liu Wei gradually fell in love with the ancient drink of tea.
In the backyard, Liu Wei waved his hand to block out the other subordinates, and there were only Liu Wei and Gao Shun here. Liu Wei lightly put down the teacup and said to Gao Shun, who was standing aside: "Peping (I didn't find Gao Shun's table to borrow one), as a fierce general who charged into battle, do you know why I borrowed you from Bingzhou all the way to be a small guard by my side?" ”
"Pepin doesn't know." Gao Shun arched his hand and said: "But Peping thinks that His Highness has his own truth, and being able to follow His Highness is a lifetime of luck." ”
Gao Shun has never seen that eight or nine-year-old child can do today's achievements, it is undeniable that Liu Bian's identity has helped him, but the establishment of refugee camps, the invention of papermaking, and the vigorous eradication of the aristocracy who violated the law and discipline, its deep mind and ingenious layout have to make Gao Shun who can contact the bureau breathtaking, and what is even more precious is that he has a pure heart that loves the country, and all monarchs with this heart must be Ming Jun and Xiongjun.
The emperors of the Han Dynasty, Han Jing, Zhao, Xuan, Ming, Zhang, and Han Dynasty people all felt the same way.
"Good!" Liu Wei is determined in his heart, Wang Cang's "Heroes": Shun is innocent and majestic, does not drink, and is not left behind. It is this kind of character that makes Liu Wei willing to entrust his net worth and life to such a general.
What's even more rare and valuable is that Gao Shun can train soldiers and train elite soldiers! Gao Shun is the soul of the trapped camp, so how can Liu Wei let such an invincible elite quietly erase his traces?
Liu Wei raised his hands and held Gao Shun and said, "I have something to ask Yu Peping......"
"But according to orders, his subordinates will never give up!" Gao Shun's words were loud.
"Good! Okay, good ......" Liu Bianlian said a few good words, pondered for a moment and said: "On the other side of the great river in Mengjin is Wangwu Mountain, and Wangwu is connected to Taihang. ”
"There were originally some small thieves on the top of the Wangwu who occupied the mountain as the king, and it had been cleaned up by me three days ago, Peping, you go up the mountain, I have prepared a thousand people for you there, and I want you to train to be an elite soldier who can block ten with one!"
The royal house goes directly to the Taihang Mountains, and after controlling the upper vein of Taihang, it is easy to reach the land of the three states of He, You, and Hebei, away from the hustle and bustle of the center of the Han Dynasty. Retreat can control and merge the state, choke the kettle, and sit and watch the wind surge.
Shen Sheng is dangerous inside, and heavy ears are safe outside. Once the situation collapses to the point of no return, it is the most correct choice to decisively pull out your legs!
"No matter how much money it costs, how much manpower, how much material resources it costs. I will support you at all costs! ”
Liu Wei is also leaving the capital for himself to jump over the wall, he is about to return to the palace, the control outside the city will inevitably be weakened, and the power of the palace and the ten permanent servants is the strongest!
Don't look at it, it seems that the He family and the foreign relatives group are getting along right now, and they are in the honeymoon period, but Liu Wei knows that the He family's relatives will naturally slip to the stage of history, Liu Hong is to sing the three generals, you sing it, we will appear, balance is the emperor's counterbalance technique!
At that time, how could Liu Hong still tolerate the He family and the eunuchs to hook up, even if they had no contradictions and no conflicts, Liu Hong would create contradictions and conflicts to forcibly make them unable to stand together!
Once Liu Wei's maternal family and the eunuchs entered a hostile state, the eunuchs would naturally throw themselves into the camp of another giant in the palace, Empress Dowager Dong and Wang Meiren.
Then it is logical for them to choose to support Liu Xie.
Liu Wei is a person who is afraid of death, and he will always have hole cards in his hands!
"I know that there are countless bandits and robbers on the Taihang Mountain of Wangwu, and what I want is an army that is always iron-blooded and capable of fighting. They are all the objects of your training, and my soldiers must see blood! ”
Gao Shun nodded happily, although Liang Yuan is good, but after all, it is not Gao Shun's ambition, Gao Shun joined the army fifteenth, starting from a small soldier, becoming a tun commander and beheading the Xianbei tribe, it can be said that he is a new generation of fierce generals who climbed up step by step from the ranks, and was suddenly transferred to the palace as a guard, which is not Gao Shun's ambition and what he wants to do.
The battlefield is the fateful place of a general.
Liu Wei knew that the Taihang Mountains eventually gave birth to two of the largest Yellow Turban remnant forces in the late Han Dynasty! Black Mountain, White Wave.
They are the enemies of the future! Cleaning them up not only solves the crisis in Guanzhong, but also enables Liu Wei to achieve the goal of training troops.
"Pepin understands!" Gao Shun also deeply believed that in the Han Dynasty, the troops who had not seen blood could only be regarded as third-rate local soldiers, and could only be responsible for organizing local training and military and political affairs such as public security, post office, household registration, and military service. They can only be counted as the reserve of the upper frontier soldiers.
The troops that the Han often went into battle were the border army, and the elite of the border army were selected to become the garrison soldiers guarding the Beijing Division. This is why after Dong Zhuo seized power, why did he have the confidence to abolish Liu Wei, but he was not afraid of the crusade of the eighteenth princes who were enemies in all directions. What he holds in his hands is the most elite troops in the country, so why should he be afraid of local miscellaneous fish?
"Is the soldier who was called in from Mengjin County?" Gao Shun's impression of the soldiers in Mengjin is not bad, the people of Guanzhong are still well fed and drunk, and their physique is tall, and the quality of the soldiers in other regions is much better.
"No...... All of them came out of the homeless people, they couldn't be homeless for the rest of their lives...... "Only people who have the same heart as themselves can Liu Wei use it with peace of mind."
Although there are paper-making jobs in the homeless camps, tens of thousands of people have actually seriously overspended, and the entire Han population is only 30 or 40 million, and some of them are not willing to be a worker for the rest of their lives.
"Okay......" Gao Shun was a little embarrassed, but reluctantly agreed. According to the Book of Han, the man was 20 years old and served one month of hard labor every year, called "Geng Death". After the age of 23, military service begins to be carried out, and the term of service is generally two years, one year of service in the county or county, called "Zhengshu", and the other year to guard in the border county or to the Beijing Division, called "Shushu" or "Guard". There is also an opinion that these two years of military service are collectively referred to as "regular pawns". In the event of war, they must also be conscripted at any time.
It is this system of all the people being soldiers that enabled Yuan Shao to gather 200,000 troops in the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao to gather 300,000 troops in the Battle of Chibi!
