Chapter 43: The First Meeting of the New Year
The year 189 AD, that is, the lunar year of the calendar, passed in this way, and after the 29th Chinese New Year's Eve, the second year of the Great Han Guangxi arrived as scheduled in chaos.
Lu Bu also had to start planning again on the fourth day after the wedding.
On the first day of the first month of the second year of Guangxi, Lu Bu gathered the old generals and the new ministers from Luoyang early.
On the left is the old general, Jia Xu is in the first seat, followed by Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others, although Hou Cheng and Song Xian are very old, but under the knocking of Lu Bu, they can also rest assured that Jia Xu and Zhang Liao are on the throne.
The first person on the right is also very famous, but Bao Xin, the former captain of the cavalry, is also a member of the two thousand stones, how can Bao Xin appear here? Let's start with He Jin, Bao Xin once served as the minister of Jibei, and when He Jin recruited people to Beijing, Bao Xin was also included in the list of people who entered Beijing as a cronie. But as soon as Bao Xin and his people arrived in Luoyang, He Jin died tragically at the hands of the eunuchs. As soon as He Jin died, Bao Xin did not get any great merit, although Bao Xin's family is also a local hero, but there is really not much foundation in Luoyang, plus Bao Xin is a die-hard member of the Han Dynasty, which poses a threat to Dong Zhuo, who is trying to control the government. Dong Zhuo was still some distance away from the power tilting towards the government and the opposition at this time, and he couldn't kill Bao Xin openly, so he had to follow Li Ru's suggestion to transfer Bao Xin to Lu Bu's men. First, although Bao Xin does not have a deep foundation in the capital, he brought thousands of villagers with him when he went, and as soon as Bao Xin left, these thousands of people fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, which could strengthen the momentum. Second, Bao Xin is extremely loyal to the Han family, and he can also restrain Lu Bu, in case Lu Bu supports his own troops in the future, it can be regarded as a nail pierced under Lu Bu, which can find some unhappiness for Lu Bu.
The rest of the newcomers on the right are also middle-level generals in the Luoyang Northern Army who are not quite on the same path as Dong Zhuo, they often do not have a huge family, and they only rely on their own ability to fight out bloody and brave men, although the official position is not high, but they are all real talents, since they can't be used by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo simply kicked them away. The idea of saving and Bao Xin in general two aspirations.
Lu Bu looked at the two distinct factions under his command, and his head was a little big.
It turned out to be okay, even if there are many generals under Lu Bu, no matter how high the official position is, there is only one voice, with Lu Bu's ability and prestige, several main generals will bow down to their orders, and now there are so many strangers, it is really difficult to arrange it for a while by relying on Lu Bu's ability, after all, although Lu Bu was born in the military for two generations, he really has not made much achievements in politics. Therefore, although he knew in advance that so many people had been arranged here, Lu Bu did not issue an appointment within a few days.
Lu Bu coughed slightly and nodded at Jia Xu. Since you can't solve it yourself, it's better to leave it to someone who can solve it. Before the wedding, Lu Bu told Jia Xu about this, and he thought that with Jia Xu's talent in the past few days, he already had the answer in his heart.
Jia Xu got Lu Bu's signal, so he naturally knew what to do.
When he got out of the queue, he hugged his fists left and right like a martial artist, and said: "You should all know it, and the contemptible people don't have the trust of General Lu, and temporarily occupy the position of military division of the state army." General Lu's attitude, no matter what way he goes, should also know that he wants to step on Hanshan Mountain and is willing to stabilize the north for Dahanbo. The next appointment was decided by General Lu after thinking about it for a long time, if everyone here has any opinions that can be put forward directly, General Lu will definitely satisfy everyone, everyone here is a Han Zhongliang, and I think they will agree with the Northern Expedition Xianbei, right? ”
Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng and others are naturally only Lu Bu's orders.
Jia Xu's words were all said to the new generals. Who is coming, Jia Xu basically found out clearly, there may be some catty among the civil officials and soldiers, but these military attaches are all talented but excluded grass-roots non-commissioned officers, and they may not be able to impress with money and official positions, but if they are pulled out to be loyal to the monarch and make meritorious contributions, they will succeed as soon as they say it.
Looking at the hot looks of the people on the right, Jia Xu continued: "The original establishment of the Bingzhou Army has been finalized, and most of the soldiers in the army are veterans of a hundred battles, and there are countless people who do not obey discipline, so I am not ready to make more changes. Jia Xu paused slightly, looked at the few people below Bao Xin with a little dissatisfaction, and then said: "But General Lu is going to set up another new army, according to the equipment configuration of the northern army, and do training this year, and wait until next year to go north, I don't know if you dare to lead the new army and the old soldiers of Bingzhou to compete with the old soldiers of Bingzhou?" After speaking, he looked at Bao Xin and the others.
"According to the equipment configuration of the Northern Army?" Bao Xin and the others glanced at Jia Xu in disbelief, as Bao Xin and others who have been in the Northern Army for a long time, they have always been confident in the equipment of the Northern Army, especially Bao Xin, who has recruited soldiers by himself, after comparing them twice, he thinks that the equipment of the Northern Army can be called the crown of the Han Dynasty, not to mention whether Lu Bu has the financial resources, just being a little dissatisfied with the idea of forming a new army according to the equipment configuration of the Northern Army, is the Northern Army also a general that can be formed? That was the highest rank of the Han official army. Besides, if it is really to form a new army according to the equipment of the Northern Army, several of you here are confident that the so-called veterans of the state will explode, and this is still worth comparing?
Lu Bu took in everyone's expressions, muttered for a while, felt that the heat was almost over, and continued: "Your Majesty has said that General Lu has the right to make independent decisions along the Bingzhou and the Great Wall, and there is nothing wrong with forming a new army, General Lu is just worried that if a lot of manpower and material resources are invested, and if you still can't build a strong army of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that you will live up to Your Majesty's expectations. ”
In the end, Jia Xu almost shouted.
"It will definitely live up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven!"
Jia Xu vigorously raised the name of Liu Bian, and even talked about breaking the enemy, and under the agitation of the generals, these hot-blooded men who were loyal to the Son of Heaven and willing to fight Dong Zhuo, who was the enemy of the army, finally made a statement.
Lu Bu secretly praised Jia Xu, although Ling Cheng Yijun was discussed by Lu Bu with Jia Xu a long time ago, but he really didn't think of using this group of newcomers completely, in his eyes, Gao Shun was the best candidate for military training. But Lu Bu is still not as good as Jia Xu after all, and there is no general in the state, only one Gao Shun is on top, although Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have the talent of generals, but they are not experienced enough, and it is difficult to reuse for the time being, if Gao Shun is in charge of the new army, will the north of the Great Wall be supported by Lu Bu, the lord?
The new military attachés don't even have the qualifications of generals, but after all, they are from the regular official army of the First Army, and their ordinary military literacy is not comparable to the background of this group of wild men under Lu Bu, even if they are inferior to the generals under Lu Bu above the battle array, if it comes to training recruits, it is really just right.
