Chapter 20 Captain Hu Cai, Tian Jing's Strategy

Tian Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you still remember what the minister said just now, since you want to keep your head down, don't let Li Wei see what Your Majesty thinks?" The so-called high-ranking officials are generous, and they are secretly Chencang, so this reward cannot be proposed by His Majesty, but must be proposed by Li Dao......"

When Emperor Xian heard this, he felt that what Tian Jing said was really reasonable, "It's just how can this be brought forward by Li Wei?" ”

Tian Jing smiled, "Your Majesty don't worry, I already have an idea in my heart." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But His Majesty needs to make this matter through Xuzhou, and vigorously praise the general Li Dao, this reward minister revealed some to Li Dao in advance, and Li Dao naturally knew that the minister said good things about him in front of His Majesty. Now that Li Dao is about to woo me, this request for a reward for me is just to buy people's hearts for His Majesty's indignation, Li Dao will naturally not let go of this opportunity? ”

Emperor Xian suddenly realized, "Yes, this is a good way." It seems that Li Dao did not use my official position and title to buy people's hearts in the past. After saying that, I felt that I had been tricked before, and I thought that this Tian Jing was here, and he really saw through the problem at once. In the future, if you are cautious, you will definitely be able to turn around today's situation.

Tian Jing found that Emperor Xian was actually a very smart person, he was thorough at a point, and he could draw inferences from one another. I think that maybe it may not be a good choice to support the emperor. In fact, Tian Jing has no better choice now, Tao Qian's lack of protection, and following Liu Bei to wander is not what he wants, returning to Youzhou is a last resort, mainly to give an explanation to the more than 600 Youzhou athletes he led. And you can prove your strength and make a name for yourself through expeditions. But what about after returning to Youzhou? Gongsun Chan is going to be defeated sooner or later, so can't he vote for Yuan Shao. Now is the right time to take refuge in Emperor Xian. It's just that Li Dao and Guo Yan are in control of the government, and they will have to face Cao Cao, a traitorous male, in the future, can they really reverse the situation? That's it, let's not think about it so much, let's take one step at a time, Tian Jing has already made a decision in his heart.

Of course, Emperor Xian didn't know what Tian Jing was thinking, and asked, "I don't know what reward General Tian is willing to receive?" ”

Tian Jing really didn't know much about the official positions of the imperial court, and he didn't answer.

Emperor Xian thought for a while and said, "Now the five schools of the Northern Army are not worthy of their names, there is only one empty shelf, the captain, Sima, and the military marquis have appointed a group, but unfortunately there is not a single soldier." There is also a waste of the court's money. I want you to lead the lieutenant marquis of the Northern Army, command the five captains, straighten out the military horses, and train a strong army for me, I don't know what you think? ”

Tian Jing was startled when he heard it, the northern army and the southern army were the guarding forces of the capital. The Northern Army had 700 people per school, a total of 3,500 people, and was the garrison of the capital. The Southern Army was the unit guarding the Imperial Palace. In addition, there are troops guarding the city gate in the capital, as well as informal troops such as Ticai, Huben, and Yulin. Emperor Xian is about to hand over the most important northern army to himself, and see the trust of the Son of Heaven. But after thinking about it, such an important position, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others will definitely not hand him over to him, and he really wants to be the marquis of the Northern Army, but he is afraid that he will be constrained everywhere in Chang'an in the future. So Tian Jing asked: "I don't know who is the captain of the Northern Army now?" ”

"Who, not all of them are Li Dao Guo Yan's henchmen, the Northwest Army of the two of them is stationed in Chang'an City and does not leave, and the Northern Army has naturally become an empty shelf, but this is the case, and the captain is arranged by the two of them. When I think of this, I get angry. Emperor Xian said.

Tian Jing hurriedly replied: "If this is the case, the minister will never dare to hold this position. At that time, these people can't be managed, and they can't be withdrawn, and if the ministers are not good, the marquis of the northern army is small, and if they delay His Majesty's major affairs, they will die and cannot excuse their guilt. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to get another position, and there is no limit. ”

Emperor Xian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "It's easy to find another position, but I'm afraid it's not easy to take charge of the army." ”

Tian Jing thought for a while and suddenly said: "I heard that Emperor Ling once set up the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, and it seems that the position of lieutenant is not permanent. If Your Majesty creates one, others will not have any big opinions if they think about it. ”

Hearing Tian Jing say this, Emperor Xian had an idea, "When Emperor Wu was the eighth captain of the Northern Army, now the province is reduced to five schools, and there was the post of Hu Qi Captain back then, although it is not permanent, but there is a precedent to follow." General Tian commanded all the cavalry of the border counties in eastern Liaodong, and it was just right to want to take the post of captain of the Hu cavalry. ”

When Tian Jing heard this, he felt, "This position is just right, and it has military power and is not affected by the original Northern Army." It's still what Your Majesty said, this suggestion should be mentioned by Li Dao, hehe. ”

The two chatted for a long time before Tian Jing said goodbye and left the palace. Because of the consensus reached with Emperor Xian before, he will ostensibly take refuge in Li Dao in exchange for Li Dao's trust. As soon as Tian Jing left the palace, he did not return to the post house, but went directly to the general's mansion. He also knew that even if he didn't go, he was afraid that the eyeliner around Emperor Xian would report the matter of Emperor Xian's summoning of him alone to Li Dao. Therefore, if you want to be loyal to Li Dao, the sooner the better.

Tian Jing arrived at Li Dao's mansion, where Li Dao was discussing things with a few cronies. Hearing that Tian Jing was coming, he asked everyone to disperse and go to the study to marry.

As soon as Tian Jing came in, Li Wei laughed, "General Tian is very interested today, I heard that at noon, I defeated Zhang Quan, the nephew of Zhang Ji, that old guy, at Yuankelai Restaurant, and now you are famous all over the city." ”

The general of the chariot cavalry made fun of it, it was really because he was reckless in the next moment, so he and the people did it in the downtown area, and it was really a last resort. It's just that I heard that the general of the Che Cai just said that the person is the nephew of Zhang Ji, the Marquis of Pingyang, so how can he be born. I really didn't know who he was at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have caused such an incident. Pingyang Hou Zhang Ji and General Che Cai were old in the Northwest Army at the same time, and I hope that General Che Cai will say a few more good words for me. Tian Jing deliberately did this, just to make Li Dao feel that he had something to ask for him, and he would not doubt that he and Zhang Quan had reconciled.

Li Wei waited for Tian Jing to beg him, which was exactly what he wanted, and his face was embarrassed, "Zhang Ji Lao'er and I were both captains under Dong Zhuo, and later our Northwest Army drove out the traitor Lu Bu, and I was in charge of the government with Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji Lao'er was not convinced. Now I want to beg him, but I'm afraid that Lao Er will definitely be embarrassed with me. But anyway, for General Tian to say anything, he has to show this old face and walk around. "Li Dao's performance is extremely good, Tian Jingxin said If I didn't know your relationship, I would have been really confused by him.

"Thank you so much to the general of the Che Cai, Tian first came to Chang'an, and he was not familiar with the place, so he relied on the general to take care of him; If I get into trouble today, I have to ask the general to stand up for Tian, and the general is really kind to me and reinvent it; Although he is a foreign minister, he also knows how to advance and retreat, and if the general of the chariot cavalry can use a place below, Jing Ding should go all out. Tian Jing took the opportunity to confess his allegiance, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

Li Wei almost regarded Tian Jing as his own, but he still decided to give it another try, "By the way, General Tian, after you and Zhang Quan's competition, I sent someone to invite the general to come to the mansion to talk about it, but I didn't want to find the general, I don't know ......."

Tian Jingxin said just waiting for you to ask, "The general of the chariot cavalry really doesn't hide it, in the afternoon, the Son of Heaven asked the chamberlain to invite me to the palace to talk." Although I have seen the Son of Heaven in the court, this is the first time in my life that I have spoken alone with the Son of Heaven, and I am still trembling when I think about it now. ”

"Ou, I don't know what the genius asked?" Li Dao asked seemingly casually.

"The Son of Heaven asked about the current situation in Xuzhou and the situation of the minister, and also asked the minister what he thought of the general of the chariot cavalry...... "Tian Jing deliberately waited for Li Dao to ask.

Li Dao asked, "What did General Nada say?" ”

Tian Jing said, "I naturally compared the pastors of various states and counties that I have seen along the way, and the general of the chariot cavalry is an immortal talent regardless of martial arts, and he is really the mainstay of my Han Dynasty." ”

Li Wei laughed, "General Tian praised it." ”

Tian Jingxin said that it seems that this old saying that thousands of clothes are not worn is true, and Li Dao really feels that he is a virtuous minister. "Your Majesty once said that when Dong Zhuo was in power, he went to the palace with his sword, entered without worshipping, brutalized Zhongliang, and caused chaos in the palace. Since General Li Wei took power, he has stabilized the prefecture and county externally, and deterred Xiaoxiao; In the court, he is loyal to the saint, harmonious with the hundred officials, General Li is in the court, and His Majesty is worry-free. ”

When Li Wei heard this, he really couldn't imagine that his status in Emperor Xian's heart was so high, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart when he heard this. "The Holy One treats me with the grace of heaven and earth, and Li Wei will definitely assist Your Majesty wholeheartedly. By the way, General Tian, I have a proposal that I am about to discuss with you. Although General Tian is a general of Xuzhou, but also a general of the imperial court, now my Han is at the time of employing people, like the general is just serving the imperial court, I intend to protect the general in the court as an official, I don't know what the general wants? ”

"Thank you so much for the love of the Che Cavalry General. It's just that I have always only led troops, but I'm afraid that this matter in the court is really not Tian's strength. Tian Jing is willing to give the soldiers of the first brigade of commanders for the general of the chariot cavalry to drive, and to make contributions to the general of the chariot cavalry on the battlefield in the coming days. Tian Jing said.

When Li Dao heard this, he clearly said that he was loyal to himself rather than to Emperor Xian, and this beauty in his heart felt as if he had picked up a bargain for nothing. "In this case, I recommend you to serve in the Northern Army in front of Emperor Xian."

Tian Jing was secretly happy when he heard this, "Tian Jing thanked the general for riding the chariot." ”

Li Dao and Tian Jing chatted for a while, Tian Jing said goodbye and returned to the post house, and Li Dao and his cronies explained today's situation.

A few days later, Emperor Xian went to the court, Emperor Xian issued a decree to announce the reward for Tao Qian, and the general Li Dao was loyal to the country, allowing him to open a mansion, Yitong three divisions, the Marquis of Chiyang remained unchanged, and the number of food towns was increased by 2,000.

Li Dao naturally went out of class to thank him. Then Li Dao promoted Tian Jing to be the captain of Changshui in the Northern Army, because the current captain of Changshui, Wu Xinai, was Guo Yan's cronies, and Li Wei did not give up the opportunity to attack Guo Yan. Guo Yan naturally went out to oppose it, believing that Wu Xi was not missing in the post of captain of Changshui. Emperor Xian just pushed the boat down the river, "The two generals are the pillars of the imperial court, I don't think there is any need to fight." When Emperor Wu was in the Northern Army, there were eight captains, and now there are only five schools, so why not add the post of captain Hu Qi, how about Tian Jing holding it? ”

The two naturally agreed. Seeing this scene, the hundreds of officials in the court also felt that they couldn't change their minds, originally a nameless Xuzhou cavalry captain, suddenly arrived at the center, and was favored by Li Dao and the Son of Heaven, I really don't know which one this is singing. I thought, don't be too troublesome, let's wait and see.
