Chapter 177: Taking the initiative to hand over power

The young emperor Liu Bian is a fourteen-year-old child, who knows nothing about the government and is playful, so He Jin simply took over the government secretly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The young emperor was very uncomfortable sitting on the dragon chair, and as soon as He Jin finished reading, the young emperor said: "This matter will be handled by the general." ”

The so-called court meeting is just a formality, in the name of the young emperor to issue an edict, all affairs are He Jin's hands, need to be edicted, He Jin's staff team will go to let the young emperor stamp the jade seal, and then issue the execution.

Jiang Sheng's transfer order was also an edict stamped by the young emperor, ordering Jiang Sheng to lead the army back to Luoyang to obey the order.

Zhen Yan had already reported the turmoil in Beijing to Jiang Sheng, and also mentioned the matter of Jian Shuo and Empress Dong sending a message. Jiang Sheng, a general who was marginalized by He Jin's group, had a clear relationship with Jian Shuo, Dong Hou, and Liu Xie, so he was naturally He Jin's preferred target.

Now Jiang Sheng is subject to He Jin, so he has no choice but to carry out the edict and lead the army back to Beijing. He Jin sent out to monitor Jiang Sheng's people Pegasus reported urgently, and reported the news that Jiang Sheng was ordered to set off to He Jin.

He Jin ordered the new army in Xiyuan to be fully defended and waited for it, and Jian Shuo's letter inviting Jiang Sheng to plot against He Jin made He Jin uneasy, and he was really worried about Jiang Sheng's next move.

Zhen Yan's intelligence station has formed a scale under Jiang Sheng's direct guidance, and in the face of strong economic strength, Zhen Yan's meticulous work has been made in the Jiuqing Prefecture, the North and South Army, and the Xiyuan New Army, and He Jin's deployment of troops has long been known to Jiang Sheng.

When they reached eighty miles outside the city of Luoyang, Jiang Sheng's army set up camp and no longer marched. The new army in Xiyuan, which had been waiting for a long time, began to get agitated.

He Jin also muttered in his heart, why did Jiang Sheng stop? Did he notice something? The dispatch and change of guard of the new army in Xiyuan are a common thing, Jiang Sheng can't know that He Jin is guarding against him, does Jiang Sheng want to?

Thinking of this, He Jin didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Yuan Shao to lead the army to meet him, and after Yuan Shao arrived, Jiang Sheng personally went out of the camp to greet Yuan Shao.

"Brother Ben, why are you here? Was he sent to Hongnong to suppress bandits again? ”

Yuan Shao's old face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "The general is worried about what trouble you are encountering, brother, so he specially asked me to answer it." ”

"Could it be that there are rebels near the capital? Or do you think I'm a rebel? Jiang Sheng said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Well, Brother Jiang, don't get me wrong, Jian Shuo and the remnants of the Dong clan have not been wiped out, so they don't treat you as a rebel. We are all people of great generals, how can we be enemies of each other? ”

"I see, but I heard that Jian Shuo still wanted me to enter the King of Jingqin before, isn't the general worried about me?"

"Alas, you are the first general of my Han Dynasty, how can you be in the same stream as the eunuchs? The general just wants to reorganize the new army, so it's up to you, the situation in the palace is not stable, and the reorganization of the new army can't be delayed, so please pull out the camp and enter Beijing as soon as possible. The general is at the time of employing people, and he will not doubt you. ”

"Okay, I don't know if I, General Pingdong, can I leave a small number of soldiers as a troop?"

"With nearly 20,000 horses under your command, are you still worried about your own safety?" Yuan Shao was stunned and asked rhetorically.

"Hahaha - I won't tell you anything, I have led the army to fight year after year over the years, and the time to accompany my wife and concubine is too little, and now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, the general has done his best, and the four seas have been leveled, I am really tired, I just want to be a Taiping general, I don't know if I can get the emperor's grace?"

"Ah, if Brother Jiang is a Taiping general, he will be wronged by your full military strategy."

"That's all my comrades are overexaggerating, I have no ambitions, I just want a peaceful life, enjoy the joy of family, if the general understands me, I will be satisfied."

"I will report your request to the general, and I hope you will lead the army back to the building as soon as possible."

"That's natural, just go back and report to the first brother, and my department will arrive later." Jiang Sheng simply took the initiative, so as not to be suspicious.

Let's say that He Jin got Yuan Shao's report, and was very happy, and named Jiang Sheng as the Marquis of Duting, with 200 households, and the fief was in Linji County, Le'an; Jiang Sheng was also allowed to change the Xuanjia cavalry to General Pingdong's troops.

The news that Jiang Sheng was going to hand over his soldiers and horses to He Jin spread throughout the barracks, and the soldiers gathered in front of Jiang Sheng's Chinese army tent to petition, hoping that Jiang Sheng would not leave and continue to command them, because many of them were from the Northern Army.

Now that Jiang Sheng is leaving, they are about to enter a state of malaise, and the matter of military exploits has little to do with them, how can they be willing to be included in the new army like this?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Jiang Sheng, thank you for your support and support, but the edict is like this, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, I must give the edict, I hope you can understand."

"General, we are strong and strong, why do we have to obey the general's edicts? Even if we enter the capital now, we will have nothing to say, and follow the general in life and death! "Some soldiers shouted, and many people responded.

Jiang Sheng motioned for everyone to be quiet and said: "Don't hide it from you, my wives and concubines are all in the capital, if you don't obey the edict, it will be a great crime of rebellion, and my family will die without a place to bury." What's more, I am a Han general, and I have to accept the dispatch of the general. Don't keep your mouth shut, if you are convicted of rebellion by the court, I will be harmed by you. Although we can't fight side by side in the future, I, Jiang Sheng, will always treat you as friends. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they understood Jiang Sheng's difficulties, his wife and concubine were under He Jin's control, and he Jiang Sheng had to obey He Jin.

When Cao Cao came to receive the army, all the soldiers said goodbye with tears and hugged Jiang Sheng and walked outside the camp. Cao Cao was very touched when he saw such a scene outside the camp, and with such a sense of affection among officers and soldiers, it is no wonder that Jiang Sheng's subordinates were able to order prohibitions and fight bravely.

Jiang Sheng rode to Cao Cao and handed over the seal ribbon of the lower army to Cao Cao, "Brother Mengde, all the soldiers of the lower army are loyal and righteous, and I hope to treat them well." ”

Cao Cao arched his hand and said: "General Pingdong, please rest assured, I, Cao Cao, am also a person who is sympathetic to the soldiers, and I will definitely not destroy the elite soldiers you brought out." ”

Jiang Sheng nodded, then rode back to the front of the camp and said loudly: "Brothers, in the future, you must strictly obey the orders of the military captain and make new contributions!" There will be a period later! ”

The soldiers sent each other with tears, and the sound of sobbing was endless, Jiang Sheng arched his hand, choked up and said, "There will be a period later!" Then he turned his horse and galloped away, followed by a thousand armored cavalry.

Cao Cao looked at the departing Jiang Sheng and the Xuanjia cavalry, he was shocked, Jiang Sheng is good at managing the army and training troops, the momentum of the Xuanjia cavalry alone, no one can stand out in the world, fortunately Jiang Sheng does not rebel, if Jiang Sheng raises troops, the 80,000 new army and the southern and northern armies are not his opponents. Cao Cao couldn't help but admire Jiang Sheng.

When Jiang Sheng returned to the capital, he was going to be his Taiping general. (To be continued.) )
