biquge.info) The cave room spends candle night, and the spring night is worth a thousand gold
Although Liu Yi has had many late Spring Festivals with Princess Wannian, this night still seems to be very passionate because this night belongs to the world of him and Princess Wannian
Three days later, the festive atmosphere in Luoyang City finally subsided, and the people in the city gradually cooled down, and began to be busy for their own livelihoods
From the end of the competition to the present, six days have passed, and the recruitment of the Yulin Army is overcrowded almost every day, but these things, there is no need for Liu Yi to check it personally, Tai Shici has also entered the role, and he presides over the recruitment of soldiers In addition, Xun Wenruo will occasionally help, and Lu Zhi, on the day Liu Yi got married, after listening to what Liu Yi and his generals said, he also seemed to have some understanding, and he also paid attention to the Yulin Army led by Liu Yi, and from time to time he went to the disaster relief officer to inspect the situation
Early this morning, it was the time for Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, and others to leave Luoyang and go to the two bases in the north and south
In the past two or three days, Liu Yi also discussed the establishment of the college with Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Xun Wenruo and others almost as soon as he had time, and basically discussed the conclusion, the only thing that is not easy to do is the lack of a large number of bachelors to be Mr. However, for this, Liu Yi feels that it is not a big problem, let them go to build the college first, and then there will be more than a year at most, Liu Yi will leave Luoyang and can go to the two bases to see the main affairs, and in the past two years, Liu Yi will not think that there is a good gentleman, In the early days of the establishment of the college, Liu Yi did not want to be able to cultivate any talents at once, and it would be quite good to be able to let some of them know how to read, of course, the main thing is to concentrate some children to cultivate now, with the development, with the increase in the number of people in the base, those children basically don't have to do any work, rather than letting so many children be idle, it is better to let them learn to read and read
Liu Yi also doesn't want to be able to cultivate any great talents, as long as they can be competent for some clerical work in the future, if according to Liu Yi's assumption, he really has a chance to compete for hegemony and unify the three kingdoms in the future, then he needs a large number of civil officials to govern a county and a city, and these people are prepared for the future
Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun led them to walk together from the Dazepo base, because the Dazepo base is now able to be self-sufficient, so Liu Yi did not pay them money to take away, but the grain must be transported away in a batch, in addition, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, they not only have to transport away a large amount of grain purchased from Luoyang grain merchants, but also a lot of money, and it is precisely because Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning want to transport away a large amount of money and grain, so Liu Yi sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to escort together. Hundreds of officers and soldiers were also sent to protect the grain
Hehe's in the current situation, it's really a bit like the situation of "digging deep holes and accumulating grain".
And just when Liu Yi sent away Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others respectively, above the palace court, a group of court officials were asking the Empress Dowager Dong to form a military organization, and several court party forces were fighting over the division of this cake
This matter is a plan to deal with and suppress Liu Yi discussed by Zhang Rang and others, Yuan Kui, He Jin, Cao Cao and others after recruiting relatives for the princess of Wannian
They even proposed to the Empress Dowager Dong to form the Eighth Captain of the West Garden
The eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, in history, should be a military organization established by Emperor Liu Hong in 188, that is, in the fifth year of Zhongping, in order to divide the military power of He Jin, a general of the first party of his relatives, but now history has changed, and it is no longer proposed by Emperor Liu Hong, but by people from these parties at the same time
However, there is this change, it seems inevitable, in this life, because of the arrival of Liu Yi, history has changed a lot, the emperor is seriously ill, can not go to the court to deal with political affairs, and, because he also knows that the limit is not long, so, for the desire for power is no longer so enthusiastic, a dying person, how can he care about these powerful things? If you look at the historical situation, I am afraid that the emperor Liu Hong will die in 188 years before he goes west
But what should have happened happened
The first to be put forward was Cao Cao, the court's councilor, of course, this is also the plan they have discussed
On the dragon seat in the court, sitting was the somewhat timid prince Liu Bian, and the one who sat with the prince Liu Bian was the Empress Dowager Dong and the current Empress Dowager Dong, who was no longer listening to the government, and under the instigation of Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants, the Empress Dowager Dong finally came to the forefront
Soon after going to court, Cao Cao strode out of the column and walked to the bottom of the dragon ladder before kneeling
Cao Cao knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Empress Dowager has something to play."
Cao Cao was also bold, although he knelt down to ask for a play, but his back was straight, and a stern gaze flashed in his eyes, glancing at the crown prince Liu Wei and the Empress Dowager Dong on the dragon throne
The crown prince Liu Wei shrank by Cao Cao, I don't know why, I was afraid of Cao Cao kneeling below in my heart, even if it was the Empress Dowager Dong, she was stunned by Cao Cao's gaze, but she had an impression of Cao Cao before, and it was a good impression, so Cao Cao's seemingly stern gaze fell on the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dong, but she felt that this was a serious and cautious person, which made her feel that Cao Cao was a steady and down-to-earth person
She didn't wait for the crown prince Liu Wei to speak, so she nodded with a smile and said: "It turned out to be Yilang Mengde, Zhun Gong, first calm down, get up and speak"
"Empress Dowager Xie" Cao Cao stood up in response
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know that the emperor can't go to court for the time being, and the prince is young, and the queen is just a woman's family, so please worry a lot about the Qing family, everyone must be like Meng De, dare to show something, do their duty, fulfill their responsibilities, and govern the Han Dynasty well" Empress Dowager Dong praised Cao Cao first, and then asked: "Okay, Mengde, what do you want to play?" Say"
"The crown prince, the queen mother, the year before last, the Yellow Turban riots, originally just a small mob of rebellion, but, in just three or two months, there was a trend that swept the world, although it was finally suppressed by the imperial army, but the chaos caused by the disaster to our Han is too huge, a large number of local government offices, once completely destroyed, the people are not living well, last year's winter Huns outside the Huns suddenly invaded, but also caused huge losses to our Han, and the people of the state, if unspeakable" Cao Cao said word by word
"Well, fortunately, these things have passed, and the harm caused by the Yellow Turban Thieves to our big Han has now been restored to the local government? This, Benhou still remembers that it was Zhang Chang who served them to mention yì, and assigned those leaders of the righteous army who had military merits, as well as the meritorious generals of our Han officers and soldiers, to various places to let them reorganize the government I heard that many people have done a very good job Well, this queen remembered that Yilang Sun Jian, who resigned from Beijing a few days ago, was assigned to the state to govern the people there, and he did a good job, by the way, and Meng De, aren't you also Jinan Xiang? I heard that you also ruled Jinan in a neat and orderly manner, and the people of the land of Bingzhou, although they were plagued by the Huns, didn't they have a recital of General Ding Yuan of Bingzhou recently? It is said that the land of Bingzhou has been completely recovered, and now it is spring, as long as the people work diligently, they will soon be able to regain their vitality" Empress Dowager Dong didn't quite understand why Cao Cao suddenly wanted to talk about these things, but she had heard a lot of things about the government recently, and she also remembered a lot of really talented people
"That's right, after the war, we did get a certain amount of recovery, and the people also got a certain amount of recovery under the wise decisions of the emperor and the queen mother, but Wei Chen felt that there were some things that we could have avoided suffering such a big loss" Cao Cao slowly led the topic to the aspect he wanted
Empress Dowager Dong really asked, "Oh? How did Mende say that? ”
Cao Cao's expression suddenly became a little sad and angry: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian Weichen feels that in recent years, so many disasters have happened in the Han Dynasty, and the main reason is that the imperial court is too slow to react to the incident, whether it is the betrayal and rebellion of the Xiliang alien race, or the Yellow Turban thieves, or the invasion of the Huns, it is because when the imperial court encounters an incident, it fails to respond in time and extinguish the source of the disaster in time, so it will make the trouble more and more intense."
When Cao Cao said this, he suddenly turned to the hundred officials in the court and said angrily: "I don't have much else to say, just take that when the Huns invaded the state, the queen mother and the prince and the prince immediately agreed on this strategy, and ordered Meng De to immediately form a large army to cross the Yellow River to fight a decisive battle with the Huns, but after Cao received the order, he set up a military camp and waited for the soldiers transferred by the city army, the forbidden army, etc., but for a whole day or two, I didn't see any soldiers and horses transferred to come hehe, In the end, Cao Cao begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to ask them to transfer some soldiers and horses, no matter how many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and finally came, but it was far from the original reservation of 100,000 troops, you know, the fighter plane is fleeting, if every time it is like that time, once there is another rebellion, then how to quell the trouble? If the imperial court continues like this, Cao Cao dares to guarantee that as long as there is another invasion of 200,000 troops like the Huns, we Han are afraid that we will not be far from extinction."
"How bold do you dare to be alarmist in the court?"
"Does this Cao Yilang really dare to say it, he dares to say such a big rebellious thing?"
"Reckless and daring"
……
After Cao Cao said these words, he immediately aroused the criticism of hundreds of officials in the court, especially for Cao Cao's daring to speak out about the destruction of the Han Dynasty, which provoked many people who deliberately delayed the transfer of troops to Cao Cao jumped out and scolded Cao Cao
"Quiet, this is the imperial court, not the market" Empress Dowager Dong also swept away her majestic phoenix eyes, making the ministers quiet
"Is that really happening?" Empress Dowager Dong said to Cao Cao's back
"It's true" Cao Cao turned around, stared at the Empress Dowager Dong and said: "Weichen had no choice but to assemble 2,000 cavalry from the 100,000 army that was originally intended to be assembled, and took the lead in crossing the Yellow River north to fight with the Xiongnu army, and then, the follow-up army assembled in total was only 30,000 or 40,000 men and horses, fortunately, Cao defeated the Huns, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable."
"Damn, this is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and you dare to delay the military plane? Who is it who does not obey the command of the Holy Decree and does not transfer the army according to the Divine Decree? Empress Dowager Dong was furious and stood up angrily and asked
At this moment, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, Yuan Kui, He Jin and others, they glanced at each other, and then knelt down together and said: "The Queen Mother, please calm your anger, regarding the transfer of officers and soldiers to Lord Cao, who almost delayed the military aircraft, we also have unshirkable responsibilities, but we also have hardships."
Empress Dowager Dong saw that these powerful figures in the court actually came out together, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and the fire in her heart was suddenly suppressed, she sat down slowly, and said for a long time: "Then you can talk about your hardships"
"Queen Mother" Yuan Kui first said: "Although the minister is a captain, he has the power to mobilize and control the soldiers and horses from all over the Han Dynasty, but this mobilization of soldiers and horses is not something that can be done in a day or two, we have made a plan, and then the minister issued an order to transfer troops and horses to various places, but this time to send the decree, it will take a day or two to gather officers and soldiers, not that they can set off immediately as soon as the decree arrives, and the mobilization of soldiers and horses involves all aspects, and the local government also needs time to gather officers and soldiers and discuss which officers and soldiers to transfer, Who will lead the troops as the general, in addition to these, there is also the distribution of weapons, the ration of military rations, etc., and then, there is the time for the officers and soldiers to hurry? Anyway, it is impossible to transfer the officers and soldiers to Lord Cao immediately after this coming and going, and it will not be a great deal of several days."
"Well, what Taiwei Yuan said also has a little truth, this transfer of troops is not something that can be done in a moment and a half" When Empress Dowager Dong heard this, she felt that this was also a truth, after all, mobilizing the army does not mean that it can be done all at once
"Taiwei Yuan is right, in addition to these, the forbidden army, although it is in Beijing, saves the time to hurry, but the work of equipment rationing of weapons and military rations must also be done well, and the forbidden army is originally responsible for the imperial officials and protects the emperor and the queen mother, and so many soldiers and horses must be transferred to fight outside for a while, and there are many aspects that must be considered before the forbidden army can be transferred to Lord Cao," Zhang Rang continued
"We have the same situation in the standing army, mainly because the soldiers are not in order, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and most of the officers and soldiers who have been transferred to Lord Cao, most of them are transferred by me," He Jin also said
"Well, when you say this, I only know that it will be so troublesome for our Han officers and soldiers to be mobilized" Empress Dowager Dong listened, and couldn't help but feel a little big, and now, she is naturally unlikely to blame these people in the hall who really hold the military power
She turned her head to Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, you see, our Han soldiers do have problems of one kind or another."
Cao Cao seemed to be very empathetic and said: "Queen Mother, Cao Cao's request is not to impeach the ministers of the court, but to remind the Queen Mother that our Han army has a kind of defect, and then find a way to solve it, in case we encounter such a thing again, how do we react?"
"Hehe, Meng De has really worked hard for our Han soldiers, I don't know, Meng De, what can you do to change the shortcoming that our Han soldiers are too slow to react?" After hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong's heart lightened, and she asked with a smile on her face
"Yes, since Cao Yilang has seen this problem, then he must have thought of a way to be a court court, as long as it is conducive to the development of our Han Dynasty, you can say it, let us all refer to it together" Zhang Rang lowered his head and glanced at Cao Cao
Hehe, this court meeting is all a plan they discussed, and it is just a play for the establishment of this military organization
It's just that Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Rang with a little disgust, and said a little helplessly: "Empress Dowager, if you want to quickly respond to some unexpected emergencies in our Han court, the minister feels that it is necessary for us to reorganize the organization of a Han army, or rather, to form another army."
Cao Cao and their secret discussion, when he heard Zhang Rang put forward this request for the imperial court to form another army, his intention in his heart was to keep the army he had originally gone to Bingzhou to fight against the Xiongnu army, so that he could become a force that was not weaker than any force, but whether it was Yuan Kui, the Taiwei or Zhang Rang, He Jin and others, it was impossible for Cao Cao to have such an army, so after they discussed, they divided the cake and of course, he himself won one of the positions
"Another army?" Empress Dowager Dong was a little stunned and said, "This ...... Isn't there a feather forest army? Why do you still need to form an army? ”
"That's the case, the Yulin Army is only the emperor's pro-army, and its main responsibility is to protect the imperial army and protect the emperor, and although it is said that it can go out to fight, but the Yulin Army can only have two thousand men and horses at most. If that happens, won't it delay the dispatch of troops again? Cao Cao said: "Therefore, the minister has a Jianyì, the imperial court can form an army of 10,000 or 20,000 people as a mobile officer and soldier to deal with the situation, once something happens, the 20,000 officers and soldiers can quickly pay the battlefield to deal with the least, if the enemy is strong, 20,000 horses, can also be used as a vanguard"
"Hmm......" Empress Dowager Dong closed her eyes and thought for a while and felt that it made sense, although she didn't know much about the army, but what Cao Cao said, it seemed to be somewhat feasible
"The minister has already thought about it, this army is called the Eight Captains of Xiyuan, with a total of eight captains, each leading 2,000 to 3,000 men and horses, stationed in the eight big towns around the capital of Luoyang and the town of Guanpassli to guard the Jingshi Division, and at the same time can threaten the world, so that the chaotic people around the Han Dynasty dare not have the slightest change, so that the inside can ensure that the Luoyang Jingshi is as stable as Mount Tai, and the outside can quickly open to meet the enemy, how does the Queen Mother think this Jianyi?" Cao Cao didn't wait for Empress Dowager Dong to have too much time to think about it, and talked about how to form an army and how to plan it with Zhang Rang, He Jin, Yuan Kui and others
"Wonderful, Empress Dowager, Cao Yilang's construction is very good, now we are around the capital of Luoyang, although the permanent army under the command of General He is guarded, but the strength is slightly weak, if two or three thousand soldiers and horses are added to each pass, then our Luoyang capital can really be called stable General He, do you say no?" Zhang Rang clapped his hands and praised him in particular
He Jin, the general, his main responsibility, is actually to lead the permanent army, guarding the eight passes around the Luoyang Jingshi are Hangu Pass, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin Eight Passes, these eight passes, guarding the main passage of Luoyang to the surrounding areas
Originally, He Jin listened to their discussion and wanted to use the name of the eight passes he guarded to set up the eight captains of the West Garden, but he was unwilling, because he was afraid that his military power and strength would be divided by others, but after listening to Zhang let them discuss, he just formed an army in the name of guarding the eight passes, and he didn't really want to compete with him for military power, so he reluctantly agreed Moreover, the establishment of the army, he can also get a lot of benefits, because he can also appoint two of his own people as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, invisibly, it means that he can have thousands more soldiers and horses. He will once again discuss with Zhang Rang, Yuan Kui and others
"Hmph" He Jin turned his head and ignored Zhang Rang, and turned to the Empress Dowager Dong: "Empress Dowager, what Cao Yilang said is extremely true, and if you really want to set up an army, then this matter should not be sooner rather than later."
"The queen mother, the minister thinks that if you set up the eight captains of the West Garden, you will set up the Yulin Army together with the prince and the prince, so that there will be the Yulin Army of the prince and the prince and the princess, and the eight captains of the West Garden, and our Han will be safe from now on" Yuan Kui said as if he had made up his mind
"This is the ...... Do you want to make a decision after consulting with the emperor? Although Empress Dowager Dong does not understand military affairs, she also knows that the formation of an army is not trivial, and she cannot respond casually
"Queen Mother, the court council, if the civil and military officials feel that it is beneficial to the Han court, I think, the emperor will also agree that the establishment of an army for this matter is imperative, otherwise, our Han court is so big, but it cannot make a quick military response in time, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty is not good, and only by establishing such an army, we can quickly suppress some troubles that are not conducive to the Han court" Cao Cao's tone was a bit unquestionable
When Empress Dowager Dong heard Cao Cao say that it was necessary to immediately establish the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, she was also a little shaken in her heart, and couldn't help but turn her head to other court officials and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of what Cao Yilang said?" ”
The atmosphere in the court today is a little weird, and the ministers can also see that the parties of the largest forces, which they usually don't deal with very much, actually speak in unison, how dare they have any objections
One by one, they knelt down and seconded the proposal, agreeing to the formation of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden
"Okay, since all the secretaries have said that this matter is feasible and very necessary, then they will allow the establishment of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden" Empress Dowager Dong knew that it would not work if she did not agree, if the relatives in the palace, or the people of Yuan Taiwei and others agreed and objected, she could pretend not to know, let them argue with each other, and drag things on, but now everyone thinks that there is a need to form an army again, so in this situation of the general trend, she has no way to deny it, listen to what Cao Cao said, the establishment of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, It seems that there are really many benefits, and there are no harms
As soon as Empress Dowager Dong spoke, the overall situation of the establishment of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden was decided
At this time, as a representative of the royal family, Liu Yang, the city guard, stood up and said: "Queen Mother, since the army has been established, what will it be?" What about its preparation? ”
Cao Cao replied: "Since it is called the eight captains of the West Garden, it is natural to set up eight captains, each of which commands an army, and first selects a site outside the city to set up a military camp, unify into an army, and train as a whole, and when there is a certain combat power, they can lead their own troops to garrison outside the capital of Luoyang, or, they can also be transferred to the eight passes around Luoyang to cooperate with the town to guard the army because it is in the west of the city, so it is the origin of the eight captains of the West Garden."
"So how is this captain selected? If the candidate for lieutenant has not yet been decided, the minister would like to recommend a person," Liu Yang said
The eight captains of the West Garden, each captain can command an army, and Liu Yang is also a force in the capital, how can he not want to reach out?
"This ......" Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Yuan Kui, Zhang Rang and the others respectively, because of the matter of the captain candidate, they had already made a decision
Of the eight captains, Zhang Rang has two places, He Jin also has two places, Cao Cao himself occupies one, and the Yuan family accounts for three, this matter was first proposed by Zhang Rang, so Zhang Rang and other ten permanent attendants asked for the quota of the military captain on the way of the eighth captain who can control the whole army, but he can only occupy two captains He Jin and Yuan Kui each occupy three captains, Cao Cao, who was assigned to He Jin's camp by them, is also a balanced deal for them
City guard Liu Yang, although the overall force is not as good as eunuchs, relatives, power officials, usually quite low-key, but also a force to be reckoned with, if the army is established this time, do not let them also get a piece of the pie, I am afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction You know, this city guard Liu Yang is also a king, is the representative of the imperial clan, in secret, is also a force that can not be ignored
Zhang Rang, He Jin, and Yuan Kui exchanged views in a whisper, and Yuan Kui gave up a place and let the person recommended by Liu Yang become one of the captains
As a result, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden was also formalized, and Cao Cao also explained the official functional titles of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden to the Empress Dowager Dong and the ministers
It's just that some court officials vaguely feel that something is not quite right, because, well-informed people also know that the Yulin Army formed by Liu Yi also chose the military camp outside the west of the city, and the eighth captain of the West Garden and Liu Yi's Yulin Army are stationed together, I don't know if there will be something to do?
