The Han Empire, the imperial capital of Luoyang Jiade Palace.

Liu Hong's brows were furrowed, he kept coughing, and there were several volumes of urgent military newspapers on the cases in front of him.

On the main hall, there were ministers who walked in in a panic one after another, and standing in front of the civil and military officials at this moment was He Jin, who had just returned from the capital pavilion. At this moment, Yuan Shao and the others also rushed to the Jiade Palace.

Liu Hong looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, he coughed and said to He Jin: "General"

He Jin understood what Liu Hong meant, he nodded to Liu Hong, He Jin walked out of the queue and turned around and said, "Everyone, the yellow scarf is fixed, and now the peak smoke is rising again!" ”

After listening to He Jin's words, the ministers all changed their faces, the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused a great damage to the vitality of the Han Empire, and now the Yellow Turban remnants have not been wiped out, it has only been a few months, how can there be a beacon fire and wolf smoke?

He Jin cleared his throat and signaled everyone not to make noise, and after the ministers quieted down, He Jin continued: "Huangzhong Hu people Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou supported Bian Zhang and Han Sui as the commanders, and teamed up with Xian Lingqiang to attack and kill Ling Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard, and Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng. Liangzhou Mu Geng is useless in a hundred battles, and the enemy's troops are directed at Chang'an, the western capital."

After He Jin finished speaking, the entire court exploded, and these ministers could no longer be calm.

The reason why these ministers can't be calm is because although the western capital Chang'an is no longer the imperial capital, there are a total of eleven imperial tombs near Chang'an, including Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty and Liu Jin, the emperor of Xiaoping of the Han Yuanzong! Later, after the capital was moved, the imperial tombs were buried in Beibi Mountain near Luoyang, but every year the royal family would send the children of the clan to worship the imperial tombs located near Chang'an.

"I'm not filial to my children and grandchildren!"

An old man cried on the hall with a handful of snot and tears at this moment, this old man's name is Liu Yang, in terms of generation, he is the grandfather of today's son, this old man is already more than eighty years old, he has already been at home for a long time, after learning the news today, regardless of the dissuasion of his family, he will come to this Jiade Palace.

Liu Hong saw that the old man was crying so sadly, so he had to persuade him with good words, but the old man took care of this, while crying, he scolded Liangzhou Mu Geng for being a rice bucket, and even the barbarian Hu people couldn't beat him, and he lost the face of the court, anyway, the old man almost greeted Geng's eighteen generations of ancestors.

He Jin looked at Liu Hong a little helplessly, Liu Hong waved his hand, He Jin opened his mouth and said: "Come on, please go down and rest for a while."

Soon, several armor soldiers from outside the door took Liu Yang away.

Although Liu Yang is gone, what he said is indeed right, if these rebels really hit Chang'an, then the imperial tomb will definitely be inevitable.

At this time, a minister came out and said: "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to recall Jizhou Mu Huang Fu Song to guard Chang'an"

"Reconsideration!"

"Reconsideration!"

A famous minister came out to ask Liu Hong to recall Huangfu Song, Liu Hong frowned and looked at He Jin, He Jin nodded, Liu Hong sighed, I can't imagine that the Han Empire, which was originally full of talents, can only rely on Huangfu Song alone to support the façade? Could it be that there is no one else in my Han Empire other than Huangfu Song who can take on this important task?

When Liu Hong was in a daze, a soldier walked into the hall quickly, and the soldier said loudly: "Report, Lord Liu Yan of Youzhou has arrived!" ”

Liu Yan? What is he here for? Liu Hong frowned and said, "Please!" ”

Not long after, Liu Yan walked quickly to the Jiade Palace, Liu Yan knelt on the ground and said, "Minister Liu Yan returns to Beijing to report on his work!" ”

Only then did Liu Hong understand that Liu Yan's term of office had expired, and Liu Hong said: "Uncle Huang, please hurry up."

After Liu Yan thanked him, he got up and stood up, at this moment he looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with sad faces, because he had been on the way back to Beijing, so he didn't know what happened in the court, so he came to a thin and tall man and said, "Brother Bo'an, what's the matter?" ”

The man who was called Brother Bo'an by Liu Yan was named Liu Yu, and he was the same as Liu Yan was a member of the royal family, and his official position was Zongzheng of Zongrenfu, which was the place where the imperial court was in charge of related affairs such as the emperor's relatives or relatives, and Zongzheng was the leader of Zongrenfu, ranking one of the nine kings.

After Liu Yu heard Liu Yan's question at this moment, he briefly informed Liu Yan about Beigong Boyu, and Liu Yan also fell silent after listening, after all, they are all royal families, and no one wants the ancestors' tombs to be destroyed.

Soon, above the court, Liu Hong made a decision, recruited Jizhou Mu Huang Fu Song to Chang'an to guard, and ordered the former Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo to lead troops into Liangzhou to assist Liangzhou Mu Geng to defeat the rebels.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Yan and Liu Yu walked together, and on the way Liu Yu asked: "Junlang returned to the dynasty this time to report on his work, how long do you plan to stay in Luoyang City?" ”

Liu Yan smiled bitterly: "How long you can stay is not the meaning of the court, but I don't want to be here all the time, after all, this court, the water is too deep"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Also, I don't know where the imperial court will send you this time?" Has Junlang ever thought about going to that state? ”

Liu Yan lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Of course, it's best to go back to Youzhou, but if you can't go back to Youzhou, it's okay to go to Jiaozhou." ”

"Jiaozhou?" Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing Liu Yan's words, and he said jokingly: "You ran far enough!" ”

Liu Yan smiled helplessly and said, "No way, it's better than staying in the court and living a precarious life." ”

Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "What you said is also right, but Jiaozhou is too far away, in my opinion, Yizhou is good, the country of abundance."

Liu Yan waved his hand helplessly and said: "Brother Bo'an, don't make fun of me, Yizhou is still in the midst of war, Zhang Xiu of Wudou Midao, and Ma Xiang of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Di, that is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Suddenly, Liu Yan seemed to think of something, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Bo'an doesn't want me to go to Yizhou to quell the rebellion!" ”

Liu Yu nodded to Liu Yan with a smile and said, "Yes, and I have already recommended you to Your Majesty, with your talent, defeating Zhang Xiu and the others is just a matter of time."

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he sighed and continued: "The limelight of the rebellion against the Yellow Turban has been robbed by the three of Huangfu Song, and now the matter of Beigong Boyu still needs Huangfu Song to come forward, Your Majesty is very annoyed by this matter, after all, this world is the world of the Liu family, how can all the limelight be snatched away by a foreign minister, you say yes!" ”

After listening to Liu Yan's words, Liu Yan fell into silence, indeed as Liu Yu said, there are very few outstanding people in the royal family today.

Their generation is okay, there is Liu Yu, there is him, there is Liu Biao, they are all outstanding, in the future, if there is true, Liu Yan can't help but think of Liu Bei in Youzhou.

But Liu Bei's statement is not obvious now, and it remains to be seen whether he can go there in the future.

Not to mention what Liu Yan thought, the two had already walked out of the palace at this moment, and Liu Yu said enthusiastically: "Junlang, it's rare for you to go back to Luoyang once, go to my house for dinner, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook you something delicious!" ”

Liu Yan shook his head exaggeratedly, Liu Yu is famous for being thrifty and thrifty, he didn't want to go back to Luoyang on the first day, so he went to his house to eat cabbage and tofu, thinking of this, Liu Yan opened his mouth and said to Liu Yu: "Don't, Brother Bo'an, I don't want my stomach to come back and there will be no meat to eat, or let me invite you!" ”

After Liu Yan finished speaking, the two laughed and walked side by side to a restaurant in Luoyang City.

In the imperial palace of Luoyang Imperial Capital, Liu Hong sat quietly in the imperial garden alone, and the matter of Boyu in the North Palace made him urgently realize what it means to be a master of high merit. Now Huangfu Song's reputation can be said to be known to everyone.

Liu Hong frowned, he didn't want to kill Huangfu Song, but he was worried that he would rebel, in case this Huangfu Song really rebelled, as the emperor, he probably didn't even have the strength to fight back. Now that he has no power in his hands except for Yu Linwei, he desperately needs to form a new army, a force that is completely in his own hands!

Liu Hong stretched his brows and got up, yes, he is the king of a country, and it is not easy to set up an army!

Soon, He Jin was Zhao into the palace by Liu Hong again, and Liu Hong said to He Jin: "I want to set up a new army, do you have excellent talents to recommend?" These people should be younger, and there is no need to mention the older ones! ”

He Jin was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Liu Hong would actually set up a new army, but how could this new army be established if it was established? He Jin hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the establishment of this new army is not an overnight thing, this"

"I know" Liu Hong interrupted He Jin's words impatiently, and then continued: "I heard that those two brothers of the Yuan family are under you? I want these two people, and that Cao Cao is for me."

He Jin was a little stammered, he couldn't imagine that Liu Hong knew so much about his subordinates, and He Jin wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Hong's gloomy eyes, he understood, it turned out that Liu Hong was not just worried about Huangfu Song, Liu Hong was also very worried about his eldest brother now.

He Jin knew that it was useless to say more, so he took his leave.

He Jin ate a sulk at Liu Hong's place, and when he returned to the general's mansion, He Jin asked people to gather his staff, and soon Yuan Shao and others arrived.

He Jin finished telling everyone about Liu Hong with a calm face, and Yuan Shao and the others understood why He Jin was so unhappy.

Yuan Shao got up and said: "I thought the general was unhappy, it turned out that this was the case, the general can rest assured, we are not ungrateful villains." ”

He Jin sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't blame you, but His Majesty took you away from me for no reason, and I was really a little reluctant!" ”

After everyone sighed, Tian Feng, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth and said, "No, this matter is by no means so simple"

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng suspiciously and said, "Yuan Hao, how do you say this?" ”

Tian Feng's eyes were like torches, he glanced at Yuan Shao, and finally got up and said to He Jin: "Your Majesty is running this new army now, not only to divide the general's military power, but I am afraid it is also related to the matter of establishing a prince." ”

Everyone was a little puzzled after hearing Tian Feng's words, Tian Feng continued: "Your Majesty has not appointed the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince for a long time, and now Your Majesty's health is not as good as day by day, and the division of general military power is only one of them, I am afraid that the ultimate goal is to ......" Tian Feng did not continue, because what he said was thorough enough.

Cao Cao echoed and said: "I agree with Tian Feng's words, I am afraid that the commander of this new army will definitely be a close person of the second prince at that time."

This stumped everyone, Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said: "No matter what Your Majesty's purpose is, we are all the general's people!" ”

On the second day, a holy decree from the Jiade Hall caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, His Majesty Liu Hong announced the establishment of the Xiyuan New Army, and the New Army directly obeyed Liu Hong's orders, even the generals had no right to interfere! And there are eight school captains, collectively referred to as the eight schools of the West Garden.

The eight lieutenants are,

Captain of the Upper Military Academy--- Little Yellow Gate Jian Shuo,

Lieutenant of the Central Military Academy--- General Hu Ben Zhonglang Yuan Shao, Lieutenant of the Lower Military Academy--- Captain of the Tun Cavalry, Bao Hong,

Lieutenant --- Lang Cao Cao,

Lieutenant Zuo of the Auxiliary Army--Zhao Rong,

Lieutenant Feng Fang,

Captain Zuo---- Counselor Xia Mou,

The right lieutenant ---- Chun Yuqiong.

The eight lieutenants were in charge of the armies by the Ten Permanent Attendants, and were directly ordered by the emperor. The momentum was huge, and even He Jin had to be ordered by him.
