Chapter 429: The Empress's Conspiracy
Ye Chen took the soldiers and horses directly to the station, the station was very empty, and there was no one stationed at present, Ye Chen chose a place and began to build a camp.
When designing the camp, Ye Chen designed a closed station, with only one entrance, and all other places were closed, logically speaking, this is a big camp, and there are still many people to settle in in the future, as long as the entire camp has an entrance.
But Ye Chen didn't want to do this, he was not defending against external enemies, but internal enemies, simply put, defending against several other captains, there were no other enemies in Luoyang City at this time.
It takes several days to build the camp, because there are also defenses such as horse rejection and guardrails.
There were soldiers from the guard battalion to help direct these soldiers to carry out the construction, Ye Chen went back first, and did not stay here all the time.
The next day, several other lieutenants received the news that Ye Chen and Cao Cao were going to rob people, and they all scolded the two for being shameless, and then they all rushed to that place and began to pull people.
They pick people, where are they like Ye Chen and Cao Cao, they all need to pull enough heads, no matter the rest, there are many people in the camp, enough for them to pull enough heads, so they didn't make trouble later.
Next, the training of these people was handed over to his subordinates, and they all moved, among which only Ye Chen and Cao Cao paid more attention, Cao Cao directly trained the army personally, and although Ye Chen did not train in person, he would go to the military camp every day to see.
It's not that Ye Chen doesn't pay attention to these troops, but the guard battalion is fully capable of taking on the responsibility of training, three thousand people, there are one hundred guard battalions in charge of training, and one person can train thirty, it is very easy.
And everyone else began to move, there were many people in Luoyang vying to win over, except for Ye Chen and Jian Shuo among the eight captains, the rest of the people were received by He Jin, and many other Luoyang magnates also competed for wooing.
These people have not been in the barracks for a long time, and a large part of them are actually in the Wei family's restaurant, because the restaurant has private rooms, so many Luoyang magnates choose to feast them here.
The most idle of the eight lieutenants is Ye Chen, who has subordinates in training, and his subordinates will instill that they must obey their own orders, so they don't have to worry too much about loyalty, and everyone else is busy entertaining, Cao Cao's guy not only has to catch training, but he can't shirk many entertainments.
Jian Shuo had to stay in the palace a lot, and he didn't have time to take care of the other lieutenants, and only held a meeting every few days.
The emperor's original intention was to build eight captains to compete with He Jin, but according to the current situation, Jian Shuo couldn't control these captains at all, but most of these captains were co-opted by He Jin.
He Jin won't make trouble when he wooes these people, the emperor's power is still weaker than him, as long as he waits for Liu Wei to succeed to the throne, he will come to clean up these and abolish the military forces against him one by one.
Therefore, He Jin's most important and core thing has always been the heir to the throne.
It has been a month since Ye Chen selected the soldiers, and within this month, these soldiers have preliminarily completed the recruit training, including Xu Huang, who also has to accept the training of these recruits, and Xu Huang is not convinced at first.
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, hit him until he serves, let Xu Huang choose a hundred people to fight with a hundred escort battalions, although Xu Huang's combat strength is unparalleled, but he will always be at a disadvantage in team combat, let him command in a superb way, and he is not the opponent of the escort battalion.
was defeated several times, Xu Huang had no face to make trouble, obediently accepted the recruit training of the escort battalion, and did not dare to make any more trouble.
Xu Huang doesn't make trouble, others don't have the courage to make trouble, they can make trouble, they have to show their skills, if there is no Xu Huang's leadership, the two hundred of them are not the opponents of the hundred people in the guard battalion, many of them were soldiers before, and they were still selected by Ye Chen, and their quality was already high, but even so, they were still not the opponents of the guard battalion.
After the training of recruits, or the first stage of training of recruits, it takes at least three months to complete the entire training of recruits, and now it is only the first stage of completion.
After the first stage of training, Ye Chen also had more time to stay in the barracks, mainly to train with them, almost in the morning and evening, Ye Chen would participate in the long-distance running for five miles, and many of the next physical trainings would also participate with them.
The first stage is mostly just a training queue, and the physical training is only running, but in the second stage, in addition to the half-day training queue, there is also a half-day to train physical fitness, and Ye Chen trains with them, in order to lead by example and make everyone else have nothing to say.
"Lord, news comes out of the house, the queen mother kisses you and Princess Yongning, go to the palace tonight, she will set up a banquet to invite you."
Ye Chen received this news and went back to his residence, he was very helpless on the way, the queen tried her best to win him over, almost everyone in the entire Luoyang City knew about it, even Zhang Rang came to test him.
The queen sent gifts to Princess Yongning twice in three days and sent people to greet her, which was already obvious, but Ye Chen never said anything, but he didn't expect that this time the queen would directly invite him to a banquet in the palace.
It's not okay not to go, he can't afford to wear the big hat of resisting the decree, but if he goes, he will obviously fall deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of seizing the heir.
"No matter how much he does, Lao Tzu has soldiers and territory, and he is afraid of them." couldn't think of a good way, Ye Chen could only comfort himself like this.
In the evening, Ye Chen took Princess Yongning into the palace.
The queen warmly entertained the two of them in the palace, and the dishes were very rich, and the delicious dishes made a big table, during which the queen even poured wine for Ye Chen once.
The dish is a good dish, and the host is also enthusiastic, but Ye Chen feels more and more that something is wrong, even if the queen wants to win herself over, there is no need to do this.
What puzzled Ye Chen the most was that during this period, the queen did not mention a word about the current situation, let alone the succession to the throne, and did not mention it at all.
This has to make people wonder, the queen is embarrassed?
After the feast, the queen did not keep them, but gave them some gifts, and then sent them out of the palace.
Along the way, Ye Chen's face was gloomy, if things are abnormal, there must be demons, and the queen will definitely not just invite them to dinner.
I don't understand, Ye Chen didn't think much about it, he didn't want Yongning to know too much about these things, just let her just be a girl next door, just let him stop this invisible conspiracy.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen received the news that it was rumored in Luoyang that Ye Chen had defected to the queen and supported Liu Wei to succeed to the throne.
"This stinky, dare to sin me."
Ye Chen scolded, at this time, how did he not know what the queen was doing?
There are two possibilities for this, one is to separate himself from Zhang Rang, and the second is to force himself to stand, so that the world thinks that he has served the queen and supports the queen.
Or in both cases, the queen has to kill two birds with one stone, but no matter what, Ye Chen will definitely be very troublesome next, and may even become the center of the whirlpool.
