Chapter 162: Hidden Soldier Songshan
"Fengxiao, is it really appropriate to arrange this group of captives in Songshan?" Returning to his camp, Ye Chen asked the soldiers to convene a meeting with Tai Shici, Guo Jia and Guan Yu.
What would Ye Chen ask, he just felt that Guo Jia was not just to settle these prisoners, he had another purpose, but he couldn't figure out what Guo Jia's purpose was.
"Lord, there is indeed another purpose for arranging this group of people in Songshan." Guo Jia also saw Ye Chen's thoughts, and simply said directly.
"Bong-hyo, please speak." Guo Jia's words made Ye Chen interested, after all, a top strategist would not just come up with a useless idea.
"Songshan is not far from Luoyang, if you are fast, you can reach Luoyang in two or three days, if you change very quickly today, I don't know what will happen in the future, but once Luoyang changes, we all have to deal with it, so we should arrange it as soon as possible." Guo Jia said.
Ye Chen sighed secretly in his heart, it is good to have a powerful strategist, he didn't think so far, Guo Jia had already helped him think about what would happen to Luoyang in the future. In the future, Luoyang will indeed become the center of the storm for a period of time, and it will be much easier if you have a team of soldiers and horses next to Luoyang.
In fact, Guo Jia is not as demonic as Ye Chen thought, his idea is that now the Yellow Turban in Jizhou is strong, if the imperial court can't resist it, it will inevitably attack Luoyang, and Luoyang may suffer from military disasters at that time, if this really happens, then if Ye Chen can come to the rescue, the profit will be huge, and no one will dare to object even if the merit is sealed.
If the Yellow Turban fails, the court will continue to be turbulent in the future, unless a strong and capable monarch is born, but obviously the current Han does not have such conditions, so the entire court will be in turmoil in the future, at this time there are soldiers and horses in Luoyang, once there is an accident, then Ye Chen will be the biggest beneficiary as long as he operates well.
Although Guo Jia could not take into account Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing later, he could think of the pattern of the entire imperial court in the future, and made some arrangements as soon as possible, which was also a very demonic existence, and Ye Chen was fortunate to be able to get Guo Jia's investment.
Guo Jia also talked about some ideas and the benefits of secretly stationing troops in Songshan.
"My lord, although there are huge benefits to hiding troops in Songshan, there are also some things that must be paid attention to.
”
"Bong-hyo, please speak."
"First, the number of troops should not be too many, although Songshan is large, it is still easy to be found if there are too many hidden soldiers; His subordinates suggested that 3,000 men and horses would be better. Second, it is necessary to appoint someone who absolutely trusts to be in command, otherwise once an incident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable. Guo Jia said.
Songshan is very large, and it is no problem to hide tens of thousands of people in it, but if you want to hide troops secretly and not be discovered for several years, there is no doubt that the number of people must not be large, and people who are far away from Ye Chen's control and do not have absolute trust are prone to problems.
Ye Chen thought about it and felt that what Guo Jia said was very reasonable, the people he could trust were Guan Yu and Tai Shici, but these two people were not suitable to stay here at the moment, and they should follow him around to fight.
"Well, these 3,000 people can be slowly absorbed from the captives, don't be in a hurry, now there are not a few of the more than 10,000 captives who can meet the requirements, and they will slowly expand in the future, I think we can arrange for the tiger head to be here, the tiger head grew up in my Ye family, and he can definitely be trusted." Thinking about it, only Tiger Head is the most suitable, and his ability and loyalty to train soldiers are no problem.
Guo Jia and Tai Shici also thought that it was completely reassuring to let the tiger head here.
Although you can rest assured, but the necessary measures still have to be done, first of all, they must be absolutely secret, even if they are discovered, they cannot be involved with the Ye family, and there is food and other materials that need to be guaranteed, in the future, the Ye family will open some branches here to secretly provide them with materials, and at the same time, they will also be scattered in the mountains to grow grain.
After the arrangements were made, Ye Chen asked him to bring five hundred soldiers, and at the same time summoned Luoyang to be responsible for the supply of various materials.
Two days after Huangfu Song made a big plan to break the yellow scarf, Luoyang received the news, and for a while the commotion in Luoyang temporarily calmed down, and everyone knew that Luoyang was safe.
Above the court, everyone is not worried today, and everyone's faces are much lighter.
"Your Majesty, Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun broke the yellow turban and beheaded more than 100,000.
"The general He came in and out to report.
"Good, good, I want to be rewarded, I should be rewarded." Liu Hong shouted happily, he has been having a hard time after the Changshe was surrounded, and he dreamed that the yellow turban soldiers surrounded Chang'an when he slept at night, although the yellow scarves in Jizhou, Wancheng and other places were as powerful, but they were not as scary as the waves under Luoyang's eyelids in their eyes.
Once the Changshe was broken, the Yellow Turban would be driven in and besiege Luoyang, and he, the emperor, would be uncomfortable at that time.
"Your Majesty, although the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have made great contributions to this big broken yellow scarf, there are two other generals who have equally great merits and should also be rewarded." After Liu Hong finished speaking, Zhang Rang immediately said on the side.
"Oh, who else, together with it, I will give you a reward." Liu Hong is very happy today, Luoyang is safe for the time being.
As soon as He Jin heard it, he knew that it was bad, he deliberately didn't say the credit of Ye Chen and Cao Cao, he just wanted to mix it up, and didn't want Ye Chen to reward him again, but he didn't expect this Zhang Rang to stand up for the bad thing, although He Jin was angry, he couldn't help it, it was difficult to bypass Zhang Rang.
"Your Majesty, this strategy is indeed from the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but the more than 100,000 yellow turbans were broken by Jianwei General Ye Chen and Cavalry Captain Cao Cao, so the merits of the two are not under the two generals, and they should be rewarded. Zhang Rang said.
Liu Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, rank Aiqing, how do you think it is better to reward them, or do you want to give them a liege?" ”
Liu Hong ran out of ideas for a while, and asked, when He Jin heard it, how could he still get it, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, then Ye Chen has just been named General Jianwei, it is really not appropriate to give a reward, give a verbal reward, and let him continue to make contributions to my Han." ”
"Your Majesty, meritorious officials must not be rewarded." Zhang Rang said a word next to him and retreated.
These Liu Hong made difficulties again, two opinions, different people on both sides put forward different opinions, and Liu Hong didn't know who to listen to for a while.
"Your Majesty, this meritorious minister really can't be rewarded, it's better to seal Ye Chen as the Xiangping Order, and when he takes office after the war, it can be regarded as letting him return to his hometown with honor.
It was Yuan Kui who stood up and spoke.
Yuan Kui seems to be speaking for Ye Chen, because many generals in the Han Dynasty will be canceled after the war, but Yuan Kui is fighting for Ye Chen's official position as a county order, which seems to be for Ye Chen's good, but in fact, he is afraid that Ye Chen will stay in Luoyang as an official, and it is appropriate to send him to the bitter cold land of Liaodong as soon as possible.
Yuan Kui and others, afraid that Ye Chen would be close to Luoyang as an official, so that they would have the opportunity to unite with Zhang Rang and others, they didn't find out that Ye Chen had any ability before, in addition to making money, now they found that Ye Chen could lead troops and win battles, which made the faction led by Yuan Kui and other families panic, in the past, Zhang let them have limited military power in their hands, and there was no foreign aid, and now if they are allowed to cultivate forces abroad, it may be difficult to control in the future.
He Jin thought about it, it was nothing to give a county order, and it was still in a remote place like Liaodong, which was just enough to separate him from Zhang Rang and the others, even if Ye Chen's strength was strong in the future and he was far away from Luoyang, how much role could they play.
In this way, He Jin and Yuan Kui and others had their own thoughts, but they acted together, so He Jin also agreed to this method. Zhang Rang didn't fight for it anymore, in his opinion, Ye Chen still has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future, and then help him fight for it when the time comes, it is best to go to Luoyang as an official, even if he can't, there will be an opportunity to transfer him in the future, and there is no need to fight with them now.
"Okay, let Ye Chen also receive the Xiangping Order." After making a decision, Liu Hong rewarded Cao Cao again, as for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, they only praised them verbally first, and then rewarded them together after the war.
Ye Chen, who was still preparing in the Changshe, didn't know that for him, there was another battle in the court, and the result was that he was made to be the Xiangping Order, if he knew that Ye Chen would also be very happy, Liaodong was his territory, and it was of course the best thing to be able to go back there as an official.
