In terms of the imperial court, in addition to the establishment of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, there were some changes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Xu Xiang was dismissed, Sikong Ding Gong took over the post of Situ, Guangluxun Nanyang Liu Hong was Sikong, and Wei Wei and Tiao Hou Dong Zhong were appointed as hussar generals.

Dong Chong's promotion means the rise of the power of the Empress Dowager Dong, and at the same time, the appointment of the person surnamed Liu as one of the three dukes is also a means for Emperor Ling of Han to suppress the He family.

When Cao Ju rushed from Caojiabao to Luoyang, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Xuzhou rose again and attacked some counties.

At that time, Jiulishan also received a notice from the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army, asking them to cooperate with the army, but because Tao Sheng and Wu Huan had just mutinied, the internal instability was unstable, and they were worried that they would raise troops outside, and what would happen to the cottage, so they did not agree. Zhang Ning was not in the cottage, so he naturally didn't know about it, and the Yellow Turban Army in Jiuli Mountain naturally didn't move.

In the evening, Cao Cao set up a banquet in the mansion and invited his six military marquis to the banquet together, in the name of naturally washing the dust for Cao Ju, Dian Wei and Li Hui stayed in the barracks and did not participate.

Below the military marquis, there is the tun chief, each tun commander commands a hundred people, Cao Ju was originally ready to let Dian Wei and Li Hui each serve as a tun chief, but Dian Wei was unwilling, he said that his task was to protect Cao Ju's safety.

Cao Ju did not force Dian Wei, and appointed Cao Yuan, Cao Li, Li Hui, Cao San and Cao Si to serve as five tun chiefs, and his small team was basically established.

Cao Ju's subordinates are all from Caojiabao, and Cao Peng's subordinates are some from Caojiabao, and some are from the villages and forts near Caojiabao, while only a small part of Xiahoudun's subordinates are from the Xiahou family, and the rest are recruited from near Luoyang.

Cao Cao is the main seat, and Cao Ju and the other six people are naturally guests, with three tables on one side.

After entering the door, there was no discussion at all, Cao Ju and the three sat on one side, and Xiahoudun and the three sat on the other side, Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, and didn't say anything.

For tonight's banquet, the three Xiahou brothers were actually angry, because after the three brothers came, Cao Cao didn't give them a pick-up, but Cao Ju enjoyed this treatment.

In the eyes of the three Xiahoudun brothers, Cao Ju is a woodcutter from a humble background, and he should not be on an equal footing with them at all, let alone enjoy the treatment they do not have.

In particular, when he was training today, Cao Ju kept asking Cao Cao questions, many of which were extremely mentally retarded, and even made the three Xiahou brothers look down on them, a person who didn't even understand the most basic common sense of marching and arranging formations could be a military marquis.

But Cao Cao didn't think so, he felt that Cao Ju was a woodcutter, he hadn't gone to school, and it was impossible for him to read military books, and it was normal to not understand, but as long as Cao Ju was studious, he could learn it sooner or later.

After a while, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Everyone, since everyone is here tonight, I have an idea, say it and let's discuss it together." ”

Xiahou Lian immediately said: "Meng De, you are the captain, we are all your subordinates, if there is anything to discuss or not, you just give the order, and we can carry it out." ”

Xiahou Lian, in the real history of the Three Kingdoms, this name basically never appeared, he was Xiahoudun's brother, but he appeared once in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it was not this name, Lao Luo renamed it Xiahouen.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Although there is a difference between the top and bottom, we are brothers after all, and you are all the people I trust the most, so it is better to discuss it." Well, I mean, the army will practice like this for another three days, and then the six of you will each practice your own parts, and after half a month, let's set up a competition to see whose parts practice the best, and then I will have my own reward, what do you think? ”

"This ......" Cao Chun immediately frowned, Cao Cao's original intention was to set off a training climax through the competition, which was of course a good idea, but it was too unfair for Cao Ju and Cao Peng, who had never learned the art of war and set up formations.

Cao Chunzheng was about to speak, three days is too short, it is better to give a few more days, but Xiahou Yuan rushed in front of him and said with a smile: "Okay, Meng De, this method is very good, I agree." ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahoulian naturally immediately agreed, and then, the eyes of the three of them invariably looked at Cao Ju, they thought that Cao Ju would definitely oppose it, and it would definitely delay the time.

Who would have thought that Cao Ju would smile slightly and say, "Brother Meng De, this method is indeed very good, and I agree with it." ”

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand why Cao Ju agreed, but he also said: "Brother Meng De, I also agree." ”

Cao Chun turned his head and glanced at Cao Ju, seeing his calm and confident face, his heart moved, and he also nodded and said, "Mengde, I have no opinion." ”

The three brothers of Xiahoudun glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths were smiling, the three of them were familiar with military books since childhood, and this time they joined the army, and put the theoretical knowledge into practice in a short period of time.

The six of them all agreed, but it was also a little unexpected by Cao Cao, he glanced at Cao Ju with great meaning, and said with a smile: "The reason why I want to do this is really because I received a military order at noon today, saying that His Majesty has issued an order to recruit troops from all over the country to Luoyang and hold a military parade in Pingxing. ”

"Our Praetorian Guards are the emperor's guards, guarding the palace in peacetime, rushing to the battlefield in wartime, with a transcendent status, and the military salary is also more than that of ordinary soldiers. Generally speaking, only soldiers who have made great contributions on the battlefield, or the sons of hundreds of officials, have the opportunity to join the Praetorian Guard. ”

"However, this time, Your Majesty lowered the standard and let us recruit the eighth lieutenant on our own, so that everyone can have the opportunity to enter the Praetorian Guard, so, in the military parade, our Praetorian Guard must not lose to the local army, at least our army must not lose, I just thought of such an idea, speed up the speed of training."

Cao Ju suddenly remembered that before the death of Emperor Han Ling, he did hold a large-scale military parade, as if the magician predicted that there would be a military disaster in Luoyang by observing the clouds, and there would be bloodshed in the north and south palaces, and Emperor Han Ling wanted to suppress it with spells, which was the cause of this military parade.

Cao Ju said with a smile: "It should be like this, we will definitely live up to Brother Meng De's expectations, and we will definitely let the army shine at the military parade in half a month." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Half a month's time is indeed too short, after all, these soldiers are all newly recruited, in this half a month, the six of you will work very hard, I will give you a cup for my brother first." ”

The six of them raised their glasses together and said in unison: "Brother's life, we will definitely go all out and never disgrace my brother." With that, the six of them drank it all in unison.
