Chapter 60: Planning and Education Military and Ministry

Zhang Liao said: "Lord, is this really the case? ”

Tang Hua said: "That's right. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But there is one thing you can help me deal with, that is, Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan has a marriage contract with the Wei family in Hedong, you send someone to retreat, if we don't come forward, the old man Cai dares to offend the Wei family, and he can't afford to provoke it, that is the descendant of the general Wei Qing. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said: "As long as the lord likes it, don't say that he only has a marriage contract with the Wei family, even if the lord has a crush on the daughter of the emperor's old son, I will also raise troops to snatch her back and give her to you." ”

Tian Chou said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will handle this matter, and the Wei family will not dare to offend us." By the way, the lord, when we finish dealing with the affairs of the Wei family, should we ask someone to propose to the lord to the old man Cai. "Damn, do you still need to ask, Tang Hua nodded.

Sima Lang said: "My lord, then should we tell the emperor Lao'er about Ding Yuan's son sending troops to murder court officials without permission, so that the emperor Lao'er can teach Ding Yuan's father and son a lesson." ”

Tian Chou said: "Not only do you want to join him Ding Yuan, but also say that even if Ding Yuan made Lu Bu use recruiting soldiers as a dangling, bullying the people everywhere, letting the recruited soldiers pretend to be bandits to burn and loot everywhere, and do all kinds of bad things, even the feudal officials of the court dare to murder, so who else would not dare to kill." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said: "There is also Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, do you want to participate in it too." ”

Sima Lang said: "Hanoi Wang Kuang don't participate for the time being, as long as we send someone to tell Taishou Wang Kuang, saying that Lu Bu let the officials and soldiers disguise themselves as bandits to do bad things everywhere, and our lord Tang Hua was attacked by Lu Bu's six thousand officials and soldiers dressed as bandits, it was on his territory, if he is not capable of suppressing bandits, we will send troops to Hanoi to suppress bandits, if he lets Lu Bu stay in Hanoi and do nonsense, we will also go to Hanoi to capture Lu Bu's fake bandits alive, and the consequences will make him Wang Kuang consider for himself, This is more useful than the previous performance, they are now terribly afraid of us, for fear that we will use some excuse to clean them up, Ding Yuan's deterrence to them is not small. ”

After listening to their words, Tang Hua said, "Let's do what you said about this matter." What I would like to discuss with you now is that now that we are basically operating normally, and we lack a large number of internal affairs personnel, and we also lack a large number of middle and lower-ranking officers, I think we should set up two schools of our own, and one of the state government colleges, which are specially used to train the internal affairs personnel we need; The other is a military academy in the state, which is specially designed to train middle and lower-ranking officers of our army. If this matter goes well, in two or three years, we will have the talents we have cultivated, and we will not be able to get them everywhere, and people will not want to come, so we will waste our time. ”

Sima Lang said: "This is also a way, I also agreed to build two schools, but where did our teacher come from?" ”

Tian Chou smiled and said, "Boda, the lord means that all of us are going to be teachers." ”

Tang Hua said: "The site of the school can be enlarged a little, as for the construction, it can be built year by year, so that our pressure will be much less, and the cost will be saved a lot, in short, we can build according to our ability." ”

Sima Lang said: "Then let's say so." ”

The next day, Tang Hua called all his civil and military officials again, first Tang Hua said to them: "There is another thing, I want to ask the court to let our army send troops to Pingyang, Hedong, Qianghu and other places in the winter and Spring Festival season, and clean up the Xiongnu there, the Taishou in those places are already in name only, the people are displaced, and they have fled to our state, I want to clean up the Xiongnu Tartars, but ask the court to let us control Hedong, Pingyang, Qianghu, Beidi and other places where the Xiongnu gather, otherwise we will not be able to conquer the Xiongnu." If the court agrees, then we will send troops this winter, of course, it would be best if we could deceive some more grain and grass from the court. At the same time, it is also necessary to report to the court the record of our army in destroying 50,000 or 60,000 Tartars on the steppe. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said: "If the court agrees, then we have to have fun in winter and resolutely support it." ”

Sima Lang said: "Big brother really wants to fight the Huns, aren't you afraid that the Huns will retaliate against our army?" ”

Tang Hua said with a smile: "I am not afraid when I only have a few hundred or thousands of people on my hands, not to mention that now we have sixty or seventy thousand tiger and wolf divisions in our hands, and destroying all the Tartars is the greatest wish and pursuit of my life." ”

Tian Chou said: "If we control Hedong and Pingyang, then our salt problem will be solved." ”

Tang Hua said: "The main reason for my request to control Hedong is for the sake of salt, and after our army controls Hedong, all the salt industry will be returned to the state capital, and no private person shall be allowed to exploit it, and all existing private salt mines will be confiscated." ”

Sima Lang said: "If this is the case, then the big families in Hedong will have a good life." ”

Zhang Liao said again: "Lord, will you still attack the Xianbei Tartars this winter?" ”

Tang Hua smiled and said: "Of course we are going to attack, we have grown up in the continuous attack, especially the war horses of our army, aren't they all snatched from the Xianbei Tartars, now our army has nearly 200,000 war horses, and when Zilong returns, he should bring back a lot of war horses." ”

Sima Lang said: "Lord, there are more war horses now, and there is a lot of grain and grass that can be consumed." ”

Listening to Sima Lang's words, he was stunned, damn, what is this called, I really didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said: "Zhang Yanbu of the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain did not harass our jurisdiction." ”

Tian Chou said: "Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban Army has not harassed us, they all went to Jizhou to rob and have never violated us. This may be related to his resettlement of a large number of disaster victims and refugees, it is estimated that many of the families of the Yellow Turban Army under him have been sent to us for resettlement, and our army has always attacked the Tartars to protect the territory and the people. He Zhang Yan said that he is also a big man, so he will not bite us back. ”

Tang Hua thought for a while and said: "Zitai, you mobilize people to help me search for Beihai Guan Ning, where do you live now, if you can get Guan Ning over, it will be too good for us, after Guan Ning comes, we can pull the tiger skin and pull the banner." "Hahaha.

After listening to Tang Hua's words, Sima Lang said: "Lord, Guan Ning, Guan You'an is a great Confucian in the world, a well-known sage, why do you want to kidnap again, this person can't be kidnapped, that will cause public anger among the world's scholars, this matter must not be done, you kidnap us has little impact, if you kidnap Guan Ning, it will cause big trouble." ”

Tian Chou also hurriedly said: "Lord, Guan Ning must not be kidnapped, he is the master of Confucianism, and his influence among Confucianism is too great, this can be regarded as those high-ranking officials and nobles, dignitaries and nobles only dare to treat each other politely, although Guan Ning ignored them, but none of them dared to provoke Guan Ning." "That's it! You're in control. ”

Of course, afterwards, Tang Hua and the others participated in a copy of Ding Yuan's old horseman, and the emperor was furious when he saw it. Emperor Lao'er asked Ding Yuan, you Zongzi plotted to kill the fierce snake, the fierce snake is the official of the court, and it is the hero who resisted the Xianbei Tartar iron cavalry for me, you see, the fierce snake has eliminated more than 60,000 Xianbei Tartars this year. You openly connived with the righteous son to murder him, and let the officers and soldiers disguise themselves as bandits to commit murder in Hanoi, and do many evils everywhere, are you guilty?

Ding Yuan was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and kept pleading guilty, saying that he didn't know what was going on, and he would be severely interrogated after he came back from catching the dog.

The emperor also said, you are not only a longitudinal son, but also have collusion with the Tartars, saying why did you not resist the Xianbei Tartars during the period of the Assassination of the Prefecture, why don't you recover the territory occupied by the Tartars such as Yanmen, you don't have a righteous son, the righteous son is not capable, is it true that your father and son will only bully the people and attack their colleagues.

The eunuchs were determined to deal with Ding Yuan's father and son, but most of the ministers in the court interceded for Ding Yuan on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient and had yet to be implemented, and the two sides quarreled again. Ding Yuan was desperately kowtowing to thank him, and this matter cost Ding Yuan a lot of money.

In the end, the emperor Lao'er and the ministers of the court discussed Tang Huajun's request to send troops to Hedong, Pingyang, Beidi, and Qianghu to eliminate the Xiongnu Tatars, this matter was unanimously agreed up, but there were differences in the moderation of these places, most of the ministers did not agree with Tang Huajun's moderation, only agreed to send troops, and the emperor Lao'er hoped that Tang Huajun would fight the Xiongnu, if he did not agree and was worried that Tang Huajun would not send troops, so in the end Emperor Lao'er himself made a return to the Lord and agreed to Tang Huajun's request.

As for the study of Tang Hua's promotion to an official position, all the ministers objected, saying that Tang Hua's promotion was too fast and he couldn't be promoted again, so it was better to give some rewards, first, to meet Tang Huajun's request for grain and grass, and secondly, it could be regarded as Tang Huajun's responsibility, but the emperor Lao'er was reluctant to spend his own money, and later Zhang Rang said that Jizhou would send another 200,000 stone of grain and 2 million yuan to Tang Huajun as a reward and the grain and grass needed when sending troops. And Han Fu in Jizhou is completely wronged, the emperor Lao'er made an order, and he was afraid that Tang Huajun would attack him under this pretext, and Han Fu could only suffer a dumb loss.

In addition, because Tang Hua and they killed the envoy of the Kebi Neng Ministry, this made Liu Yu of Youzhou tell Tang Hua about their situation every day, plus the iron cavalry of the Kebi Neng Department has often come to Youzhou to burn and loot recently, and now Liu Yu has put all the responsibility on Tang Hua's head, saying that Tang Hua caused it, and gave the emperor Lao'er every day, all of which was the intelligence of the invasion of the Tartars of the Kebi Neng Ministry.

Emperor Lao'er was angry, and ordered Tang Huajun to send troops to resist the Kebinengbu Iron Cavalry on the border of Youzhou, and agreed to let Tang Huajun control the places north of Daijun and Shanggu, and all the money and food needed by Tang Huajun to fight in Youzhou were supplied by Youzhou Liu Yu.

After Tang Hua received the holy decree of the emperor Lao'er, he called the main civil and military officials in the jurisdiction to Jinyang, anyway, Tang Hua's subordinates are so many people, and there are no superfluous, they are: Sima Lang, Tian Chou, Zhang Ji, Zhang Yang, Mai Zi, Chen Fang, Ma Jun, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Li Jin, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Fool, Ergou, Heizi, Wen Hui, Cai Yong, only Zhang San has not returned to Qingzhou, and the others have returned to Jinyang.

Tang Hua said: "Everyone knows, the emperor Lao'er wants us to go to Hedong, Pingyang, and Beidi to eliminate the Xiongnu Tartars, and also let us send troops to Youzhou to help Liu Yu eliminate the Xianbei iron cavalry of the Kebineng Department, and we still have a large number of Xianbei Tartars north of Yanmen who have not been wiped out. ”

Sima Lang said: "Now the whole situation in our jurisdiction has changed a lot, the population has reached more than 1.8 million, the refugees and victims have been well resettled, grain production has grown steadily, all kinds of industry and commerce have developed rapidly under the encouragement of our taxes and policies, grain and grass are still sufficient, we now have nearly 2 million stone of grain in reserve, and we can still support small-scale battles, please rest assured." ”

Tian Chou said: "Lord, fighting Tartars is the consistent purpose of our army, but the emperor Lao'er asked our army to send troops to Youzhou, so that our army's combat locations are scattered, and the combat distance is too far, which is not conducive to mutual support and mutual cooperation between the armies, and at the same time our army has become a scattered small group of operations, once a major incident occurs, it is difficult for our army to return, I suggest that Youzhou temporarily do not send troops." ”

Zhang Yang said: "My lord, this is the court deliberately let our army disperse its forces, in order to achieve the purpose of weakening the strength of our army, in fact, the emperor is driving the wolf and devouring the tiger, Youzhou I also agree with Zitai's opinion, as for Hedong and Pingyang, it is good for us to accept it, I have no opinion." ”

Zhang Ji said: "Lord, Youzhou has little effect on sending fewer troops, if you send more troops, then our defense capability will decline, and we still have to focus on the security of our own jurisdiction is the first, as for Youzhou and other spring after the beginning of the year, send the Flying Snake Army to harass and sneak attack." ”

After hearing this, Cai Yong said: "An Min." A few of them are right, you have enemies all around you now, and they can all pounce on you, and once they know that your forces are scattered, they may pounce on you immediately. Now whether it is the Xianbei Tartars or the Hun Tartars, they are all very hostile to you now, and they all want to wait for the opportunity to destroy you, so you still have to be cautious. ”

Zhang Liao said: "But the emperor Lao'er is so generous this time, and he handed over the northern part of the Han to the eldest brother to control it, if we don't make something, doesn't it mean that we don't have the ability to control more places, I think this is an opportunity and a risk." ”

Zhang Hedao: "Yes, Wenyuan is right, for the north, we have been fighting anyway, now there is the holy decree of the emperor Lao'er, we will take the north back, as long as Hedong, Pingyang, Qianghu, and Beidi are done, then Yunzhong, Shuofang and other places are also ours, as for guarding these places, the mobility of our army is very strong, we can send more scouts, once there is a situation, we can gather heavy troops in a short time." ”

Zhao Yun said: "We take these places, not only to have territory, but also to let our army have a greater depth of defense, we can use the high mobility of our army to eliminate the invading enemy in the depth of defense, so that the people on our border will be safe, not like in the past, every time the enemy on the border attacks, it is always the people who are hurt." ”
