Chapter 642: Before entering Beijing

After spring ploughing, it was summer in a blink of an eye, and Cao Song, who spent 100 million yuan, was dismissed by Liu Hong for a reason before he sat hot in the position of captain, but Cao Song did not express his dissatisfaction, but accepted it peacefully.

Obviously, from the very beginning, both of them knew what the insider trading of this 100 million money to buy the position of the third prince was, and Liu Hong was to punish Cao Cao, because he and Wang Fen had a plan, and they knew that someone would make trouble on the contrary and not report it. And Cao Song is just to spend money to protect Cao Cao's life and the fate and future of their Cao family.

Of course, in fact, having said that, Cao Song is not at a loss, at least he spent money to buy the position of the third public, and some people just spent 100 million, which may not meet the standard given by Liu Hong to the third public.

On this day, Fuquan was inspecting the fields outside the city of Ji County, and after all the infrastructure facilities were put into operation, and there was the supervision of Fuquan, the highest governor of Liangzhou, the effect of Tuntian was indeed a thousand miles in a day. Under reasonable control, the grain growth in various places is much better than that of ordinary farmers cultivating alone, and according to the memories of his previous life, Fuquan has improved some farming methods, and according to the predictions of some experienced old farmers, the yield per mu of Liangzhou fields will definitely be more than before.

In Fuquan's mind, if he can ignore the more than 200,000 Tuntian, it is really possible to make Liangzhou reach the point of self-sufficiency within three years, so that in the future, whether it is to send troops to the Western Regions or to enter the Central Plains, Liangzhou's biggest logistical shortcomings will be made up for a lot by him.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the sound of "stampede", which made Fuquan frown, and also surprised the officials who patrolled with Fuquan, because Fuquan had already had a strict order, and unless there was something important, the officials and people in the state were not allowed to ride horses in the fields, in order to convey to the people of Liangzhou that he really wanted to vigorously display the intention of Liangzhou agricultural business.

Now, when someone dares to inspect the cultivation of the fields in Fuquan, he rides a horse in front of him, isn't this looking for death?

However, when everyone saw that the other party was a messenger from the state office, they were surprised, and the messenger was so urgent, he must have been instructed by Jia Xu, who is now handling affairs in the state office, which means that something big must have happened.

"Report! Jingshi urgent! ”

As the messenger approached and shouted these words, the faces of everyone present, including Fu Quan, changed, and then after the messenger dismounted and saluted, Fu Quan exchanged a simple greeting with him, and asked for the letter to be checked.

This letter has been opened, I think Jia Xu has read it in advance, it seems that there must be something important, forcing Jia Xu to notify himself as soon as possible. At that moment, Fu Quan took out the letter inside and checked it, and his face quickly became gloomy.

The content of the letter is very simple, there is only one sentence, the general He Jin recommended his brother He Miao as the assassin of Yizhou, and went to Yizhou to quell the chaos, and the emperor approved it.

He Miao is He Jin's half-brother, originally the son of the Zhu family, and the son brought by his mother who remarried He Jin's father, He Zhenqian, who was widowed at the time, of course, he also has a sister-in-law, that is, the concubine He who gave birth to "Shi Hou" Liu Wei.

I remember that the rumors of later generations said that the He brothers were short-sighted, hesitant, and incompetent, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, Fu Quan knew that these were all lies. The two of them were able to help their sister become the queen from the butcher's house, and help their nephew successfully become the emperor, even if these two people were calculated by the party in the end, fought the eunuchs, and finally died, and collapsed the good situation, but the ability of the two is beyond reproach.

Although it is rumored that after the two came to power, they had political differences about the eunuchs and the complete defection to the party, which led to their subsequent breakup, but now with the arrival of Fuquan, the He family has been suppressed by the Song and Fu relatives, and they have not yet split later.

Now, He Jin sent He Miao to serve as the assassin of Yizhou, the intention is well known, and they don't want to be in power, perhaps, they want to follow the trajectory of history, but it is more expanded.

Historically, the He brothers controlled the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, forcing Liu Hong to establish the Xiyuan New Army in order to help his second son Liu Xie ascend the throne to check and balance He Jin, but it is obvious that the He family, which had already occupied the right time and place at that time, was not at all something that a new eunuch and the new favorite Jian Shuo could deal with, not to mention that those old eunuchs were already the internal response of the He family because of the relationship between the He family.

Now, with Liu Hong agreeing to He Miao to be the assassin of Yizhou, if he really masters Yizhou, it will be a big trouble, after all, this is tantamount to letting the He family's power tentacles out of the Jingshi.

"How's the chaos in Yizhou?" Thinking of this, Fu Quan immediately asked the subordinate officials around him, and there was a reason why the imperial court accepted He Jin's suggestion, that is, there was chaos in Yizhou, and the person who commanded this chaos was none other than Fu Quan's former acquaintance, who belonged to the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Moth Thief Yu Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi.

These two people, in Mianzhu County, Guanghan County, Yizhou, raised troops, killed the original Yizhou Thorn Shi Yijian, and at the same time attacked Ba County and Qianwei County, between the ten months, destroyed the three counties, occupied a lot of places, and all the way learned the appearance of the Taiping Road in the world, coercing the people and displaced people, and now there are tens of thousands of people under their command, and they call themselves the Son of Heaven to each other.

It is precisely because of this incident, coupled with the impact of Wang Fen's death in the previous past, that it is not only the people who have been in contact with him who have been more or less affected, but more importantly, it has also made many important ministers of the court move other thoughts, such as Liu Yan, a native of Jiangxia County, who served as too often before.

Liu Yan witnessed the gradual chaos today, the decline of the royal family, and even the sinister situation of the courtiers who wanted to abolish the emperor and seek to establish it, so he suggested to the imperial court: "The soldiers of the Quartet, from the assassination of Shi Wei, can not be forbidden, and use people other than him, so as to rebel." It is advisable to change the shepherd's uncle, and select the famous and important ministers to occupy his position. ”

This means that the assassins and Taishou bribed officials, exploited the people, and caused the people to rebel and leave their relatives, and those honest and honest officials of the court and central government should be selected to serve as local governors of prefectures and counties, so as to guard and stabilize the world. Of course, because Fuquan's Yizhou henchman Dong Fu and others had already put pressure on Fuquan for some reason, they didn't say anything to Liu Yan that "the Beijing division will be chaotic, and Yizhou has a genius in the field", so this hero who was stable in Yizhou at the end of the Han Dynasty can only go to Jiaozhou where he originally wanted to avoid chaos.

In the end, Liu Hong agreed to Liu Yan's request, and ordered to select Lieqing and Shangshu as state pastors, each with their own rank. Among them, Liu Yan was the pastor of Jiaozhou, Huang Wan, a native of Anlu County, Jiangxia County, Taifu, was the pastor of Yuzhou, and Liu Yu, a native of Tan County, Donghai County, Zongzheng, was the pastor of Youzhou, which opened the prelude to the historical stage that many people in later generations called the state pastor who buried the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Fuquan didn't think about this, after all, it was not the first time that the state pastor reappeared at this time, as early as before, Huangfu Song served as the Jizhou pastor after pacifying the Taiping Road, how can it be said to be the prelude to the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty?

Moreover, Liu Hong's establishment of a state pastor was not a state pastor who was like the lord of a country in the troubled times, and after he approved the "reset of the state pastor", the three state pastors approved successively did not give up all the military and political power to them. After all, there have been wars in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, and the treasury has long been exhausted, and now there are yellow turban troubles in Yizhou, and there are also rebellions in the Luliang area of Yuzhou, not to mention Youzhou, the Wuhuan people who helped Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebel are still making trouble, Liu Hong in order to avoid the imperial court from transferring troops from all over the country to the frontier, set up state pastors in the rebellious places, and give greater rights, which is completely reasonable, and it is not at all a disaster to open the troubled era at the end of the Han Dynasty as later generations said.

If you carefully examine the backgrounds of these three state pastors, you will also find that Liu Hong chose two Han clan relatives, and there is also a very good and loyal minister in the court, in order to be afraid of resetting the state pastor, there will be a trend of the tail not falling, which shows Liu Hong's caution on this matter, and he cannot be a state pastor unless he is a trusted and reliable person.

This can be seen from this He Miao was selected as the history of Yizhou thorns, if Liu Hong really didn't think carefully, he could have let He Miao also serve as Yizhou pastor, but it was just a title of thorn history, as for the reason, it is obvious that everyone knows that the rebellion of Yizhou moths and thieves will not cause too much impact, and He Miao has low qualifications, ability and loyalty Liu Hong has no spectrum, if it is not for him to be the emperor's family, I am afraid that the general He Jin and the ministers recommended together, Liu Hong also refused.

However, with the identity of the imperial family, this is naturally not ordinary, after all, as long as He Miao can use people, he can naturally calm down the chaos, and the He family started by relying on the Liu Han royal family, so they must be loyal royalists, so there is no need to worry about whether Yizhou will be a big tail.

In fact, speaking of which, if Sun Jian hadn't been recommended by Fuquan last year to serve as the Taishou of Changsha to quell the chaos, this year's Yizhou chaos happened, and if Fuquan recommended Sun Jian to serve as the assassin of Yizhou, it would not be possible to let He Jin and them waste their efforts.

Last year, Changsha people Ou Xing rebelled, proclaimed himself a general, gathered more than 10,000 people, besieged the city, Fuquan got the news at that time, thinking that it should be to let Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, take charge alone, and Ou Xing happened to be the stepping stone for Sun Jian's growth in Jiangdong, so he recommended it. And the emperor Liu Hong and the courtiers also knew Sun Jian's ability, and readily agreed, worshipping him as the Taishou of Changsha, and ordering him to suppress the thieves, otherwise if he did not agree, the position of the Yizhou Assassin History, if Fuquan used his power, he really had to say whether it would be taken by Dong Zhuo, of course, it was too late to say this.

Hum! He Jin, do you think that if you support your younger brother outside and control more territory, you can fight against me? I thought too much, but the conspiracy failed, so I thought about relying on the situation, mastering a few more states in the world, and occupying an absolute advantage in the final seizure of the throne, right? It's a pity, if this strategy has enough time, it's fine, however, what you don't know is that next year will be my chance to control the central government, and besides, you are so close to the party, will the emperor really tolerate it?

Thinking of He Jin's scheme, Fu Quan wanted to laugh, if He Jin had done this a few years earlier, he would still be afraid, but now it was too late. According to memory, there was also some time ago, the news that Liu Hong was often unwell in the palace and was still killed, Fuquan can be sure that history has not changed after all, Liu Hong finally died on the weakness of intemperance, and like Emperor Huan Liu Zhi, he will also step on the road of early death.

However, despite this, Fu Quan also felt that he could not sit still, and it was not good to let He Jin develop like this, thinking of the will he received a few days ago about Liu Hong's intention to recruit elite soldiers from all over the world into Beijing and form the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, Fu Quan felt that he should make good use of it.

In August of the fifth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong formally established the Xiyuan Army, which was not a new soldier, but was composed of the elite of the world, mainly the border soldiers of You, Liang and the three places.

Among them, Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding originally sent a partial general Lu Bu into the Xiyuan Army as a fake Sima, and soon, Wu Meng engaged in Zhang Yang and engaged in Zhang Liao also entered Beijing and was used by the Xiyuan Army.

The newly arrived Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, although facing the disturbance of the Wuhuan people in the border county, also transferred a group of Youzhou elites into Beijing, led by Xu Rong and other generals who performed well in the pacification of Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, Zhang Yan and Tu Ge and the Southern Huns.

Fuquan as the assassin of Liangzhou, has countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and is naturally one of the important soldiers hoped by the imperial court.

However, because the younger generation in Liangzhou basically let Fuquan beat Guan Yu Hu people, they only sent Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Yan Yan, and they brought five hundred cavalry and one thousand foot soldiers who were strictly selected by Fuquan to ensure absolute loyalty.

Liu Hong summoned troops, in fact, many state and county governors in Dahan now think that it is meat buns and dogs, so in response to the will of the imperial court, he did not send too many troops, but like Fuquan, it is really rare to directly send so many elites, after all, the Xiyuan Army is just ready to recruit eight thousand, he alone sent one-eighth, and some people looked at it, saying that he was stupid, and people with a discerning eye knew that these soldiers and generals sent to the Beijing Division, once they were trained by the imperial court and dismantled and assimilated, whether they could return to the border area was not to talk about it first, but it was a problem to return to be loyal to themselves, everyone is hiding and choking, how can there be such a tyrant as Fuquan?

In this regard, Fu Quan didn't care, after all, Yan Yan didn't say it, as an old team member who started by himself, I'm afraid that even if someone likes his martial arts, they don't dare to really accept him. And Li Dao and Zhang Ji are not to mention, Zhang Xiu and Hu Feng are now staying under Guan Yu, if they are smart, they will naturally know how to choose, unless Dong Zhuo can be a general now, it is impossible to make them rebel, otherwise if he enters Beijing, he will inevitably follow.

As for the 1,500 soldiers, they were all selected by Fuquan, and the relatives at home were all in Liangzhou, and the soldiers who received preferential policies from Tuntian, he believed that even if many people would be assimilated by the differentiation of the Beijing Division, but when he entered Beijing next year, there must be people who were still loyal to him, and as long as there were a few hundred people with Yan Yan to help him in the Beijing Division, he could completely copy the routine of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing in history, and even play better than him, and when the time comes, with the accession of the prince of the Song family, he will really control the center.

However, it was said that Emperor Liu Hong knew what Fu Quan had done, praised his loyalty, and at the same time suspected that Fu Quan was ashamed after Han Sui's discord trick was used at the beginning.

The Xiyuan Army is divided into eight schools, each school is in charge of 1,000 soldiers, namely Jian Shuo, the captain of the upper military school, Yuan Shao, the captain of the middle army, Bao Hong, the captain of the lower military school, Cao Cao, the left captain of the auxiliary army, Zhao Rong, the left captain of the auxiliary army, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, Xia Mou, the left captain, and the right captain Chun Yuqiong.

Liu Hong's purpose in forming the Xiyuan Army was to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao, and secondly, to resist the five colonels of the general's department, unwilling to be subject to He Jin, and wanted to win over the party, so that the two would fight.

Today's Eighth Captain, Yuan Shao needless to mention, Cao Cao and Jian Shuo have a grudge against their uncle, Zhao Rong is from Nanyang, and the general He Jin is the same township, Chun is from Qiongyingchuan, Feng Fang and Xia Mu are all celebrities.

In addition to Jian Shuo and Bao Hong, most of them are biased towards the general He Jin, which seems to be contrary to the original intention of building the army, but in fact it is not, the captain is only in name, and it is the military Sima and the fake Sima who really hold the real power, which is why Liu Hong still recruits party members into the army. At the same time, in order to be more secure, Liu Hong added four other Simas to the military captain. The so-called Sima of the other department, the chief officer of the other battalion. Jian Shuo's actual strength is not a thousand, but five thousand.
