Chapter 437: A Big Move
Xu Wei couldn't help but feel a little depressed, eldest brother is really, why can't you even hear the words of the words? Because we are the nephews of the third uncle, we talked to the two of us in advance. Really get the matter to the Xuanfu Disposal Division, is there any room for discussion with you? Don't forget, although you and I are uncles and nephews, they are relatives at home, and they are superiors and subordinates in case of trouble! He is the number one military and political leader, so he needs to consult with you? Just give the order to die, what can you do?
Seeing that his cousin didn't speak, Xu Yuan asked again, "Ninth brother, how do you behave?" β
"Oh, I originally divided three armies to the fourth brother to garrison Qin Feng, which means that the troops have already been handed over, and then they will be assigned to the Xuanfu Disposal Division for moderation." Xu Wei was thinking about how to persuade the boss of this family.
"Alas, you're still thick. Three armies, almost 20,000 horses, without blinking an eye, my brother can't compare with you. Xu Yuan sighed.
Xu Wei didn't know what to say. Jingyuan Jingluo Pacification Division was originally a strong road in Shaanxi Zhulu, not to mention that now that you have taken over Huanqing's soldiers and horses, I conservatively estimate that you have at least 60,000 troops in your hands. Moreover, the two roads of Jingyuan and Huanqing are both ditches and ditches, and the military fortresses are one by one, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it does not require too many troops to survive. And after the Xuanfu Disposal Division redivided Shaanxi, you northern Shaanxi is the main defense, and I am the main attack in southern Shaanxi, and you cry poor with me?
"Big brother, since you are not doing well with Huanqing's troops, why don't you hand over Quduan's old department to the Xuanfu Disposal Division for moderation?" Xu Wei suggested sideways.
"How's that going to work?" Xu Yuan was anxious all of a sudden. "Hand over Huanqing's troops, what will I do to guard Huanqing? The next time the Jin army drags Luoshui to attack, I can't hit the Jurchens with my head, right? β
"Since the Huanqing soldiers want to defend the soil, what about the Jingyuan soldiers?" Xu Wei seems to be determined to pierce this layer of window paper.
Xu Yuan stretched his face and said in a deep voice: "Jing Yuanbing naturally can't move!" Hey, I said Ninth Brother, why are you ......" He may have felt that it was not appropriate for him, so he didn't say it.
Xu Wei didn't care, and persuaded: "Brother, if you say something that shouldn't be said, the third uncle went to Shaanxi to preside over the military and government, which is a good thing for you and my brother." What is a few soldiers and horses? The third uncle wants to have soldiers in his hands, so he is steady, so we will give him some of them, anyway, it is not for you to hand over the military power. β
Xu Yuan smacked his lips as if he had a toothache: "I understand the truth for my brother, but the situation is really complicated, and I don't have soldiers." β
"Big brother, why don't you understand? The third uncle ventilated with us in advance, just because we are our own family. If we don't support him, what will others think? And he was first the military and political governor of Shaanxi, and then you and my uncle. If the eldest brother insists on this, do you think the third uncle will drink this thing as warm water? Xu Wei made his words clear.
Xu Yuan heard some meaning from his words, and said, "What? Could it be that the third uncle still wants to deal with me? β
"Maybe not, big brother, let me ask you, are you presiding over the mess of Huanqing now?" Xu Wei asked for no reason.
"I just repelled the gold thief, and I haven't had time to take care of it. Huanqing's daily affairs are presided over by Liu Guangshi, what? Xu Yuan asked rhetorically.
"Liu Guangshi is now the deputy marshal of Huanqing, if the eldest brother insists on not supporting, the Xuanfu Disposal Division orders you to return to Jingyuan, and the affairs of Huanqing are taken over by Liu Guangshi, what should you do?" Xu Weidao.
"He? Liu Guangshi? How old is he? A losing streak, what qualifications does he have to preside over the Huanqing? Xu Yuan sneered.
"It doesn't matter if you are qualified or not, his father Liu Yanqing is now enabled. I heard that Zhenjiang Xing is over there, and the people who are in charge of the military of the Imperial Camp Division are Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, and Zhe Keqiu and others. Didn't the eldest brother find out that Yao Pingzhong and Liu Guangshi were both entrusted with important tasks? To put it mildly, Shaanxi is not without you, I won't turn around. Xu Wei said.
Xu Yuan stopped talking. In his opinion, public and private, as long as he doesn't nod his head in this matter, no one can do anything about him. But when my cousin said this, it didn't seem to be the case.
"Also, eldest brother, the former Huanqing Shuai Wang is like Wang, and he was brought to justice in order to appease Qu Duan. So far, there is no conclusion, what if he also activates it? Xu Wei saw that his cousin hesitated, so he struck the iron while it was hot.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, looking a little impatient. A pair of hands kept rubbing back and forth on his knees.
"My brother, what are you waiting for? The third uncle presides over the military and political affairs of Shaanxi, which is very good for you and me! You're going to fight him, is it worth it? What would you do if he gave the order directly? Do you dare to speak out against it? Early ventilation is already a lift, the third uncle told you that this matter will be discussed when it is formally discussed, in fact, will it be discussed with you at that time? Command directly! Xu Wei delivered the final blow.
Xu Yuan couldn't sit still, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that I offended the third uncle?" That, that's ...... now."
"While the matter has not been made public, I will go to see the third uncle again and talk about it. He's our uncle after all, and he won't be like that. Xu Wei said.
Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed: "My brother poured bitter water at the time, and now he goes back and says that there are soldiers to hand over, how can this be good?" Why don't you take a trip for me? β
"I'm not suitable, when the time comes, people say that you Xu Jiu is really lenient, and you are all in charge of Jingyuan? Isn't that a cause for discussion? Xu Wei didn't want to come out like this. He is already in the limelight now, and it is no good to jump up and down in these things.
"It's really not good, let Xu Yan go!" Xu Yuandao.
Xu Yan? His virtue, flamboyant tongue, treacherous and obedient, but bad things. Xu Wei thought for a while and slapped the table: "Yes, let Xu Cheng go." Didn't he visit his uncle yet? Just take this opportunity to go, and talk about things by the way. Don't worry, even if the third uncle doesn't mention it, the sixth brother will say it. β
Xu Yuan nodded, this is a solution, but after thinking about it: "No, Xu Cheng is your general." β
"Brother, why did I bring him here? I didn't think that my brother would have to be able to do it after you took over Huanqing, so I sent my son back to you. He is a member of my commander's division, and at the same level as the commander, the eldest brother should not treat him as a prodigal again. Xu Wei said with a smile.
Xu Yuan was really moved, patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Lao Jiu, don't talk about more brothers!" I owe you this love! He owes Xu Wei more than that. When Xu Yan led the troops to Huanqing, if it weren't for Xu Wei sending people to carry out activities, prying the corners of the wall, and pulling Kang Sui over, things would have gone so smoothly?
On September 30, Xu Shao, the Xuanfu disposal envoy of Shaanxi, summoned Zhulu Marshal to defend the Xuanfu Disposal Division to discuss the military. Xu Yuan, Xu Hong, Xu Sheng, Xu Wei, Wang Yi, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Guangshi and other generals all attended, and senior generals of the Western Army gathered together.
Xu Wei deliberately went late, and when he dismounted in front of the Xuanfu Division, he actually ran into an acquaintance. Curved ends!
Xu Wei doesn't have a good impression of this old superior, but everyone still has to get by on the scene. Then he nodded, didn't say anything, Qu Duan didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and hurriedly hugged his fist, which could be regarded as a return of the courtesy.
After he was removed from the position of commander and stripped of his military power, he has been placed in Qinzhou City without any official conclusion. But for some reason, today's council summoned him too.
When Xu Wei stepped into the conference hall, he saw a figure inside, and before he could tell who was who, he heard a cry. This one is called "Xu Dashuai", and the other is called "Xu Jingluo", and they all got up to greet him. Xu Wei made a quartet, sang a big fat promise, and politely entertained.
When I sat down and took a closer look, except for Xihe Shuai Wang Yi, the others actually had some contacts. Among them, Xu Yuan, Xu Sheng, and Xu Hong are all his brothers. It's just a pity that Xu Liang is a literary rank, otherwise the five brothers of the Xu family gathered in Shaanxi, and it would be a good talk to get together as a "Five Tiger Generals of Xumen".
"Xu Dashuai, you have fought the most fiercely in the past two years! Listen to your good news, and let our ears hear the cocoon. Liu Guangshi laughed. He got up, and the generals next to him followed suit.
Xu Wei waved his hand: "The work of the micro end is not enough to worry about, but it is just an order." Who told us to face to face with the Jurchens? If you get close, if I don't hit him, he will have to beat me, there is no way to do it. β
"Modest, isn't it? I see, in this Western Army now, only you dare to confront the Jin Army. Someone said.
Xu Wei stared at him and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not miserable, I can't just hold it on my head in front of me, in the future, we have to work together, I sing alone, this play is not good, and I can't sing it anymore." β
The people here come from all over Shaanxi, although they are all colleagues on the surface, everyone is giggling, but they all have a rice bowl in their hearts. Knowing that Xu Jiu is Xu Xuanfu's nephew, he said that this is probably not as simple as it seems, right? From now on? Do you want to work together? Hehe, it's really worth savoring.
As he spoke, a man came out of the back of the hall. Standing about the age of about seven feet, standing there and poking, Qi Yu Xuanang said this kind of person. The face is white and pure, with two short beards, and between the looks and the looks, it is Xu Liang. Xu Liu originally had a dispatch to be called the Shaanxi Fu Envoy, but that was temporary. After his father officially took office, his new assignment was the Senator of the Xuanfu Disposal Division. From the Xuanfu Division to the Shuai Division in Shaanxi, there are adjutants such as staff officers and staff. Although the name is the same, the level and treatment are very different. The senator at the level of the Xuanfu Division is at the same level as the prison and the governor.
Many people here didn't know him, but they just looked at him and looked like Xu Xuanfu, and guessed that he might also be the nephew of the Xu family. saw Xu Liang make a gesture, and said loudly: "The next official Xu Liang is appointed as the counselor of the Xuanfu Disposal Division." On the order of the Minister of Xuanfu, he came to check the colleagues. After finishing speaking, he looked around the audience and saw that all the generals had arrived, and then he turned around and entered.
All the generals and officials knew that Xu Xuanfu was afraid that he would come out immediately. So they all sat upright, no longer noisy. Sure enough, not long after, Xu Shao, who was dressed in a purple official uniform, tied with a gold belt, wearing a fish bag, and a head on his head, came out steadily.
As soon as he appeared, more than a dozen senior generals of the Western Army in the hall all stood up and saluted with fists clenched. Xu Shaojing sat down until the handsome case, first glanced at the audience for a week, and then waved his hand: "Sit down." "In the end, it is a person who has done military duties in Shaanxi, and this gesture has a majesty of his own, which is not at all like the civil officials appointed by Tokyo in the past.
"This is the first time that the generals have been summoned to discuss the matter. Some of you here are old acquaintances, and some are new friends. But it doesn't matter, from now on, we will all work together in Shaanxi, I hope we will work with one heart and one mind, outside the Beiyi, and inside the Lishu. Xu Shaolang said.
At that time, all the generals were good. Every Xuanfu takes office, and this statement is always inevitable.
"No more to gossip." Xu Shao quickly got to the point. "I have summoned you here for a great event."
This was a bluff, and everyone was focused on him, waiting for what to come. Of course, the brothers of the Xu family have long known it.
"Since the Jin people Nankou, especially our Shaanxi, the problems exposed by the Western Army have been very serious. It has successively lost large areas such as Yanyan and Shaanxi, and the losses will not be counted. If we don't put things in order, how can we defend ourselves against the enemy? In addition, Zhenjiang Xingzai and the official family attach great importance to this matter, and have repeatedly issued strict orders to change the situation. Xu Shaoyu paused deliberately, and saw that all the generals in the audience were listening attentively.
Only then did he continue: "The biggest stubborn disease of the Western Army is that they fight for each other and pass the buck to each other. A few handsome guards are arrogant and domineering, ignoring the Xuanfu system and other divisions. The root cause of this is that the six commanders are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to flexibly mobilize in case of war. In view of this, the prime minister is playing Zhenjiang Xing, and the official family has the royal permission, and from now on, the Zhujing Strategy is revoked to pacify the Division! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! This has been appeased for dozens of years! From the Economic Strategy Division, to the Appeasement Division, and then to the integration of the two, this is the most suitable model for Shaanxi formed over the past few decades. Now that Xu Xuanfu said that he would withdraw, does that mean that those of us who are handsome and guarded don't have to do it?
Even if some people are full of questions, some people want to come forward to question them, but when they think of Xu Shao, firstly, they were privy envoys in Tokyo, and secondly, among the current Western Army, his two nephews are the most powerful. After weighing and weighing, I still endured it.
"In the future, in addition to the land occupied by the Jinren, Shaanxi will be divided into three recruitment divisions. Jingyuan Huanqing two roads, combined into the North Shaanxi Road Recruiting Division, Qinfeng 1st Road and part of the Yongxing Army, combined into the South Shaanxi Road. The original defense area of Xihe Road was changed to Shaanxi West Road. The powers of these three divisions will be issued in an official letter later. Now, the appointment is announced! β
Unconsciously, everyone straightened their backs. This is an unprecedented move! No one would dare to do this. Xu Shao not only did it, but he didn't plan to discuss it with anyone at all, so he called us to announce the appointment directly!
"Xu Yuan!" Xu Shao drank.
Xu Yuan Huo Ran got up, strode forward with his sword, and roared: "Humble duty!" β
"I entrust you to recruit envoys for the North Shaanxi Road, and also know Weizhou, the main army, township soldiers, soldiers, archers, loyal patrol and other troops in the defense area, listen to moderation!" Xu Shao held out a letter of appointment. Xu Yuan had to go forward and take it with both hands. With just such a piece of paper, the original Jingyuan Huanqing two-way military power is in hand!
"Wang Yi!" Xu Shao called again.
Xihe Shuai Wang Yi can be said to be the most low-key one among the commanders of the Western Army. He didn't have any outstanding military exploits, nor did he do anything out of the ordinary, and he was a little appeasement of his Xihe Road. However, in order to compete with the Xia State for the Hehuang region, Xihe was originally fighting for many years, so the Xihe army was strong and strong, especially commendable is the Xihe soldiers, who are brave and abnormal, and are not afraid of death! The Jin army invaded Shaanxi, and Xihe had nothing to do all the way because of the high mountains and long roads. It's a little forgetful.
Wang Yi was about fifty years old, and if it weren't for the official robes he was wearing, it would be hard for you to imagine that this was a marshal commanding tens of thousands of elite soldiers, just like an ordinary elder.
"I entrust you to recruit envoys for Shaanxi West Road, and also know Xizhou, and control all the troops in the jurisdiction." Xu Shaodao. Wang Yi ordered him to take the letter of appointment.
"Xu Wei!" Xu Shao picked up another piece of paper.
Xu Wei was not in a hurry, he had to go forward, only to listen to Xu Xuanfu said: "I appointed you to recruit envoys for the South Shaanxi Road, in addition to commanding the soldiers and horses, Dingrong Shaanzhou was also merged into your division." Also know Jingzhao Mansion, in addition to the horses, do not forget to persuade the class of agriculture and mulberry, the master of ceremonies administration. β
"Yes!" Xu Wei replied loudly and took the letter of appointment with both hands.
At this point, many people's hearts are moving. It turns out that it's just that.,It seems that except for the end of the Huanqing song.,The others are no different from before.,It's just a new sign.γ Xu Yuan picked up a bargain for nothing, and Huanqing was under his control all the way. Wang Yi has not changed, as for Xu Wei, he was originally Qin Fengshuai, and it turned out that the territory on Yongxing Military Road was also desperately defended. The new bottle is the old wine, and why is it a great reform.
"In addition, each department shall have two deputy envoys, one member of the military transport envoy, one member of the senator, one member of the horse to undertake official duties, one member of the competent machine, one member of the written language, four members of the office work, four members of the civil official to be dispatched, and four members of the military attache to be sent to the military attachΓ©. Among them, a deputy envoy, a transfer envoy with the army, and a horse to undertake official affairs were sent by the Xuanfu Disposal Division. The authority will be known in an official letter later. β
The leadership team of the Recruitment Division is really big enough. Counting the recruiting envoys, in addition to the commanders at all levels, there are 20 civil and military officials in the organization at the level of the recruitment department, and of course, some dispatches can be concurrently served by the commanders.
But the following generals are not concerned about how big the team is, the key is that several important positions are sent by the Xuanfu Disposal Division! Needless to say, the deputy envoy is the following, and he is the largest, and it is estimated that he has the right to supervise. As the name suggests, the transfer envoy is in charge of money and grain, that is to say, from now on, the money and grain will be directly managed by the officials sent by the Xuanfu Disposal Department. The purpose of this is probably to put an end to the false quotas of troops, the fraudulent receipt of food and salaries, or the false reporting of military merits and the fraudulent receipt of rewards.
Walking Horse is a petty official with eight grades, but the official is small and powerful. He is purely monitoring for the sake of surveillance, although it is the eighth grade, he can directly report to the level, even to the level of the emperor. If there is nothing to do, report it in detail once a year, and report it at any time if there is something. In the past, it was often heard that the horses were under the command of the intervening generals, and that they were often lawless. So much so that later, there was a period of time when this position was not set up at all. Now that Xu Xuanfu got it back, is it to restrain us handsome guards?
