Chapter 082: The Forbidden Army of the West Garden
"Hahahaha......"
Luoyang, Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Cao knelt on the main seat, on the left was Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan, on the right was Cao Chun, and there was a table in front of each person, and there was naturally wine and meat on top of the case. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cao Ren and Cao Hong naturally changed shifts with the Xiahou brothers, and are currently in Cao Song's mansion, responsible for protecting Cao Song's safety.
Xiahoudun picked up a bowl of wine, faced Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Meng De, the emperor has appointed you as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and it is absolutely a supreme favor to be in charge of a forbidden army, and from now on, you will be in power." ”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Yuan Rang, the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard, the Eighth Captain, this position is definitely coveted, but it is not easy to be between the emperor and the general." ”
Xiahoudun was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Meng De, what are you talking about?" ”
Cao Cao drank all the wine in the wine bottle, put down the wine bottle, and while scooping the wine into it, he explained to the three people: "The five armies of the Praetorian Guard are the upper army, the middle army, the lower army, the pawn army and the auxiliary army, however, the five armies have eight captains, have you thought about it, what does this mean?" ”
Cao Chun continued: "The eight captains are the upper military captain, the middle military captain, the lower military captain, the classic military captain, the left lieutenant of the auxiliary army, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, and the left lieutenant and the right lieutenant. Well? Mengde, do you mean ......"
After all, Cao Chun is a waiter of the Yellow Gate, usually responsible for conveying edicts, and knows a lot about some things in the court, so he naturally reacts faster than the Xiahou brothers, who have never been officials.
Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Zihe, you can talk about it." ”
Cao Chun nodded and said: "The purpose of the emperor for the establishment of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army this time is because of the troubles in the **** and the world is disturbed, but the eunuchs took advantage of this holy will to form the Five Guards of the West Garden. Among the five armies, the upper army is the leader, followed by the middle army, the lower army and the dian army, and the last is the auxiliary army. ”
"The captain of the upper military academy is Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo, the lieutenant of the middle military is Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the middle army is Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the lower military academy is Bao Hong, the captain of the Tunqi school, the captain of the military is Meng Deyou, and there are two captains in the auxiliary army, namely Zhao Rong, the doctor of Guanglu and Feng Fang, the captain of the left school, Xia Mou, the counselor doctor, and the right captain is Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the Si Nong."
"Jian Shuo, although he is strong and strategic, and he is quite trusted by the emperor, he is only a small yellow gate after all, with a humble status and the status of a eunuch, but he has become the head of the forbidden army in the West Garden, and he has jurisdiction over the remaining seven captains, as well as the officials below the captains of the Supervision Division."
"Yuan Benchu, the third duke of the fourth world, is also the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, but he is only a lieutenant of the Chinese Army, although the position of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General was given to his brother Yuan Shu, but with Yuan Shao's character, he must be unhappy in his heart. As for the rest of the people, most of them have not moved because of their rank, but they have actually entered the scope of the military's power, and they have no opinion on this, and the one who has benefited the most is naturally Meng De. ”
"Let's talk about the camp, the emperor's move is also because the general He Jin has too much power, and he is worried that once he dies, the new emperor will not be able to control it, and there will be a mess of foreign relatives. Among the eight captains, Jian Shuo is in the eunuch camp, Bao Hong, Feng Fang, and Xia Mu are close to him, while Zhao Rong and Meng De are the emperor's cronies, and Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong are the people of the general He Jin. ”
Therefore, the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was divided into three parts, namely the emperor, the eunuch and the general He Jin. Among the three forces of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, the weakest is the general He Jin, but the general He Jin still controls the power of the world, so the strength of his side is still the strongest, but the foreign army has little impact on the situation in Luoyang. ”
"As for the eunuchs, originally they were only able to take power by pleasing the emperor, and they had no military power, but this time Jian Shuo became the head of the eight captains of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, and the army under his command was also the head of the five armies. There are a total of 30,000 forbidden troops in the West Garden, and the establishment of the Shangjun army alone reaches 15,000 people, and if the eunuchs begin to contact the military power, it will also be the beginning of the chaos in the world. ”
"Among the forbidden army, the strongest is naturally the eunuch's side. However, this is only the initial pattern, not the final pattern, the three forces will pull each other in, and Meng De, your identity, will be the most sensitive. Jian Shuo will win you over because you are also a eunuch, and Yuan Shao will win you over, because after you are both the third duke, you have grown up together since childhood, and you are like brothers and sisters. Of course, the emperor will also win you over, one is your talent, and the other is the emperor's guilt towards his uncle, so he will directly promote you from the status of a speaker to a captain. ”
"Hahahaha......" When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately laughed, nodded and said, "Zihe's analysis is very good, almost without deviation, that's exactly the case." ”
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan have never been involved in court politics, of course, they will not analyze it like this, after listening, they glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.
Cao Chun asked again: "Meng De, although the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was established this time, there is not a single soldier, and all of you eight captains need to recruit troops on their own, but the emperor is worried that the formation of the army will make the various armies be placed by He Jin, I don't know what your plans are?" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Yes, since the emperor has this heart, regardless of the rest of the seven armies, let's say that the three thousand men and horses of our army, I am ready to recruit troops in Qian County, and the children of the Cao family are given priority, how about it?" ”
Cao Chunyi hugged his fists and said: "Meng De is wise, so very good." ”
Xiahou Yuan immediately said: "Meng De, the children of the Xiahou family can also be reused. ”
Cao Cao's heart tightened, and he secretly thought in his heart, what his father said was right, the dispute between Cao and Xiahou really exists, and this wind must not be long, otherwise, these two forces cannot be consistent with the outside world, how to achieve great things.
Cao Cao immediately said: "Of course, the Cao family and the Xiahou family are one family, both are my arms, and they are the people I trust the most. ”
After that, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and asked Cao Chun: "Zihe, my father once mentioned in the letter that there was a talent in Caojiabao, and he was your brother-in-law, and he actually picked the Beishan Yellow Turban alone, which seems to be called Cao Ju, which can be the first choice for this recruitment." ”
Cao Chun sighed and said: "Meng De, you don't know, after Cao Ju picked the Beishan Yellow Turban, he was considered to be a person who swallowed the treasure on the mountain, Taishou Zhuang Li, the school captain Wang Hu, and the Xu family all had the idea of the treasure, designed to frame Cao Ju, put him in prison, and tortured him every day. ”
"Is that so?" Cao Cao was also slightly shocked and asked, "Then did Cao Ju confess?" ”
Cao Chun shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "After my father was dismissed, it seems that many people think that my Cao family has completely lost power, hmph, this time I will let everyone see, with me Cao Cao, the Cao family will never fall, Zihe, you personally go back to Qiaocheng and bring back the news that I was promoted to a military captain." ”
So, there was a scene where Cao Chunfei rode back to report the news.
