Chapter 448: Deprivation of the Governor's Powers

readx;

Wen Chou's power in the Western Regions is extremely powerful!!

At the beginning, in order to balance Wen Chou, and in order to make the situation in the Western Regions develop well, Liu Tai sent the strategist Gongsun Ce to lead 50,000 troops to the Western Regions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As a result, there were as many as 170,000 Tianci troops stationed in the Western Regions. If Wen Chou really has the heart of self-reliance, then it will form a huge blow to the Tianci Army system.

In fact, Liu Tai is not worried about how serious the matter will be. Because Liu Tai knows very well that the God-given Army is Liu Tai's God-given Army, and it is the God-given Army of the entire Northern Xinjiang! Not to mention Wen Chou, a new warlord who has not served as the governor of the capital for a few years, even if Huang Zhong goes to the Western Regions, he will not dare to be a mercenary!

Of course, there are no impermeable walls in the world, and there are no groundless rumors. Whether Wen Chou has different intentions, whether he colludes with the rest of the people to want to establish himself as the king in the Western Regions, this has to be verified step by step, if there is, then everyone believes that Wen Chou's death time has come.

It's not that Liu Tai doesn't believe in Wen Chou, and it can't be said that Liu Tai is too ruthless. As a king, you can't just rely on unwarranted trust to act recklessly. What if Wen Chou is really consumed by power? People are subject to change! Historically, Wen Chou was loyal to Yuan Shao, and that was because Wen Chou had no chance to take charge of the military alone. But now it is different, sitting on the position of the overlord of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, holding an army of 170,000, looking around the world, the only one who can have such a territory and such a force is Liu Tai, who gave Wen Chou the right.

And the conditions for all this are the basis for ambition. Liu Tai's sudden dismissal of the capital governor was the beginning of the outbreak of the matter. Earlier, before Liu Tai went south, he also thought about whether it would cause some irreparable losses if he was relieved of the power of the capital to supervise the troops? However, this idea was quickly denied by Liu Tai, because Liu Tai was very confident that the generals he sent were loyal and would never go to the end because of greed for power. Although these people are all generals with well-developed limbs, they are not stupid.

At present, Liu Tai still trusts Wen Chou. Of course, even if you trust it so much, you have to reach a consensus among all officials. After various reforms, Liu Tai no longer wanted Northern Xinjiang to become his own hall, and only when many officials expressed their opinions and adopted the most useful methods were the best choices.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates think that what General Yan said is not true!" Suddenly, in the ranks of Wenchen, Tian Feng in the first few stepped forward, and said to Liu Tai with a cold expression. Tian Feng was a special case in northern Xinjiang, and his loyal temper made it easy for Tian Feng to offend his colleagues, but in the northern Xinjiang regime, the relationship between Tian Feng and officials was still okay.

"Oh? What does Yuan Hao think? Seeing Tian Feng coming out of the ranks, Liu Tai, who was sitting on the dragon, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. At the same time, Yan Liang's expression was also cold. No one doesn't know what kind of person Tian Feng is, if Tian Feng speaks, then he will inevitably fight to the end with the other party, unless the other party finds a reason to convince Tian Feng absolutely.

Tian Feng bowed his body, looked like an old god was there, and said to Liu Tai: "Back to Your Highness, the Governor of Wen has been in the Western Regions for many years, and it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts under his high position. Of course, His Majesty is not sure whether Governor Wen has the heart of disobedience, but over the years, His Majesty has received a lot of complaints about the impeachment of Governor Wen, not only from the Western Regions, but also from the generals within the Tianci Army! ”

"Oh? If there is such a thing, why didn't you report it early? Liu Tai couldn't help but straighten up, and his expression slowly began to become solemn. If it was those brute bullets impeaching Wen Chou, then Liu Tai would not have looked at it, but the generals within the Tianci Army were different!

What officer would dare to impeach his immediate superiors unless necessary? Isn't this full and holding on? The most important thing is that Liu Tai can't remember this matter, even if the matter is not important, there should be someone mentioning it in Liu Tai's ear!

"Your Majesty, the records in these memoranda records that the governor of Du Naiwen oppressed the people of the foreign domains in the Western Regions, robbed the princesses and daughters of the foreign domains, and set up some illegal checkpoints to collect merchants' road fees to fill their pockets. Tian Feng said to Liu Tai. The expression looked very flat, as if he was not surprised at all that these things could be done by Wen Chou.

In northern Xinjiang, Tian Feng's identity is very special, responsible for impeaching hundreds of officials and supervising the integrity of hundreds of officials. En, equivalent to the Han Dynasty's counselor, although the official position is not big, but because Liu Tai grasps the personal style of officials more tightly, Tian Feng's position is particularly important, it can be said that he is a close minister of the monarch, and he may impeach any one of the hundred officials at any time.

Liu Tai's face was ugly, and Tie Qing glanced at Yan Liang with a blushing face. Yan Liang was no better than Liu Tai, standing there looking at Tian Feng with a stunned face, as if he didn't understand what Tian Feng said. Robbing princesses and people's daughters? Privately set up checkpoints to exploit the merchant people? No matter which one of these, it is a felony in Northern Xinjiang!

Although these things happened in the Western Regions, Liu Tai had already renamed the Western Regions Xizhou, and it was obvious that there was an attempt to include the entire Western Regions in the Han Dynasty.

"Is what Yuan Hao said true? Is there any misunderstanding? Liu Tai's tone was very gloomy, with a hint of cold wind, which made the hundred officials in the hall couldn't help but shudder, and one by one the officials trembled and glanced at Liu Tai on the dragon couch, and lowered their heads.

Tian Feng in the main hall shook his head, and said to Liu Tai with a straight expression: "Back to the king, these are the news sent back by the monitoring team arranged in the Western Regions (the official name of the dragon and tiger groups), and the minister can't guarantee whether it is someone who slanders the governor of Wen, but for the sake of conservatism, the minister still hopes that the king will temporarily confiscate the military power of the governor of Wen, and asks the governor of Wen to go to Huacheng or come to Luoyang immediately to be investigated." ”

"Lord Tian, these are all the words of the investigation team, how can you easily believe them without clear evidence? If the fighter plane is delayed, it will be extremely unfavorable to the situation in the Western Regions. Huang Zhong finally came forward to speak. As the old man of the military department, Huang Zhong's weight is still very heavy, and as soon as Huang Zhong's words fell, many of the generals showed their support for Huang Zhong.

Hearing this, the hundred officials had different expressions, and most of the old courtiers in the north agreed with Huang Zhong's statement. Some new officials show a neutral attitude, that is, they do not affirm the guilt of Wen Chou, and they do not easily express their positions, similar to the characters of old fritters.

No matter what other people's attitudes were, Tian Feng still glanced at Huang Zhong with an indifferent look, and said, "General Huang means that he is willing to come forward to guarantee the innocence of Governor Wen, right?" If Governor Wen really intends to support his troops and respect himself, and the situation in the Western Regions is out of control at that time, will the general bear this responsibility? ”

Who is Tian Feng? Although he has a straight temper, he is also a resourceful military advisor, Huang Zhong, who was born as a military general, how could he say that Tian Feng has passed? I saw Tian Feng speechless in just a few words, and stood there stunned and at a loss.

Not to mention Huang Zhong, if Wen Chou really has the heart to stand on his own, no one can afford this responsibility. In the whole world, the only one who can vouch for Wen Chou and continue to let Wen Chou dominate the battle in the Western Regions is Liu Tai! But at present, Liu Tai is not willing to express his position easily, as if he wants to see more of the opinions of hundreds of officials.

"But even so, you can't ignore the battle situation, in case those white pig Luo break through the defense line of the Western Regions, it will cause major damage to the production of the Western Regions!" I saw Yan Liang say in a sullen voice. In fact, Yan Liang didn't dare to say anything at this moment, if it was only for Wen Chou, then it didn't matter if Yan Liang lost his family name, but if it really caused the 170,000 Tianci army to separate from the northern Xinjiang, this crime... The three clans of Yan Liang can't afford to pay for it.

"Hmph, what do you know about the big picture?" Seeing that Tian Feng's face finally changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, Tian Feng looked around at the hundred officials present and said, "Does Anxi really dare to invade the Western Regions?" Not to mention the 170,000 Tianci troops deployed in the major passages of the Western Regions, just resting the surrounding Guishan and Great Qin will not agree, and when the time comes, it will definitely attract the siege of Great Qin and Guishan and other powerful countries, and with the current strength of Rest, it will not be able to resist at all! ”

"And our army expelled the 400,000-strong army of Sabbath a few years ago, which has long broken the morale of the Sabbath cavalry, and now that the number of Sabbath cavalry has been halved, our army has increased by more than 50,000, how can it be possible to give Sabbath a chance? Besides, even if Anxi really led the troops to attack the Western Regions, there were still generals such as Gongsun Ce and Ji Liang in the Western Regions, who could completely resist Anxi's offensive! At that time, as long as the king sends a general to take over the position of the governor of Wen and sit in the Western Regions, why worry about resting in peace? Tian Feng's demeanor looked extremely confident, and he thought that he had already had an in-depth understanding of the deployment of the Heavenly Army in the Western Regions, otherwise he would not have seen the situation in the Western Regions clearly after Wen Chou's departure in a short period of time.

At this moment, Baiguan couldn't help but wonder if Wen Chou had offended Tian Feng in private, was it necessary for Tian Feng to hold on to it so tightly? In the eyes of the hundred officials, robbing princesses and folk girls is a floating cloud at all, and there are many small countries in the Western Regions. As for the private checkpoints, it can also be said that in the past, after all, there are few people in the Western Regions, and there are always some missing places for the caravan to take advantage of the loopholes, Wen Chou set up checkpoints in these places, is there anything wrong?

Of course, it doesn't mean that Wen Chou did everything right, such as setting up levels is a big problem. In northern Xinjiang, every pass that is eligible to collect tolls and other fees must be strictly registered, which is also to prevent the situation of enriching one's own pockets. And Wen Chou, as the governor of the capital, has countless people watching his words and deeds, and the originally small problem has naturally been expanded all of a sudden.

"What Yuan Hao said is also reasonable, but Wen Chou's contributions in the Western Regions over the years cannot be denied." Liu Tai, who was dressed in a purple dragon robe on the dragon couch, nodded slightly, and continued: "The most troublesome problem in this matter is to solve the problem that the major legions in the Western Regions do not have unified commanders. ”

"Well, you can't completely entrust the battle situation in the Western Regions to these two people, after all, Gongsun Ce and Ji Liang are too lacking in qualifications in the Tianci Army, so let's do it, Zhao Yun, you are ready, come and rush to the Western Regions to fill the vacancy, and after this matter, the widow will arrange who will take up the post of assassin in the Western Regions." Liu Tai originally wanted to hand over the Western Regions to Gongsun Ce and Ji Liang for temporary processing, but thinking that the identities of the two were a little inappropriate, he had no choice but to choose a general in the court, and Zhao Yun was the best candidate. Today's Zhao Yun can be said to be the number one person in the military, if Zhao Yun goes to the Western Regions, then all the problems in the Western Regions will be solved.

"The king is shengming" and all the officials bowed to the ground at the same time to congratulate. Now that Liu Tai has made up his mind, there is no need for the officials to say anything more. After all, Northern Xinjiang is still Liu Tai's Yiyan Hall so far, as long as Liu Tai decides, it will be a holy decree and a king's order in the hearts of officials.

After the hundred officials got up, Liu Tai's eyes looked at Tian Feng, who had returned to the ranks of civil officials, and said to Tian Feng with a slight bow: "Yuan Hao, the matter of the ugliness will be left to you to investigate, the widow sent Xi Zhong to assist you, if you need anything, you can directly find Xi Zhong to do it." ”

Tian Feng, who was standing among the officials, was obviously stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words, but then he stepped out and bowed his hand to Liu Tai and said: "Back to the king, since it is the minister who impeached General Wen, how can this matter be handed over to the minister to investigate?" This is not in accordance with the system."

"What kind of system is not systematic, the widow asks you to do it, you will do it." I saw Liu Tai frowning and said in a somewhat heavy tone. For Tian Feng's stubbornness, Liu Tai is sometimes really helpless, and at this moment, as long as anyone with a little brain can understand that Liu Tai is ready to beat Wen Chou, and by the way, let the military attachés in the court pay attention. Didn't Tian Feng's wisdom understand what Liu Tai meant? How can it be!!

During this period of time, Liu Tai has been using various methods to converge and converge military figures. In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Tai's move was aimed at Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, but in fact, Liu Tai was aimed at middle and lower-level generals.

In northern Xinjiang, the main culprits of the emergence of so many military lines and factions are middle- and lower-level generals. Due to the huge size of the Tianci Army, the number of middle and lower-level generals is extremely large, and these generals generally have some privileges, and the use of power for personal gain is simply like playing for these generals.

In fact, Liu Tai is also to blame, in order to improve the combat power of the Tianci Army, Liu Tai promulgated a series of special treatments. Now Liu Tai has finally tasted the bitter fruit of the tail. Fortunately, Liu Tai is relatively easy to accept the opinions of others, more than a year ago, as the principal of the Northern Xinjiang Military Academy, when Pang Degong introduced Pang Tong to Liu Tai's command, he tentatively told Liu Tai about the current situation of the Tianci Army, and his expression was extremely worried.

Liu Taishun touched the melon, grasped the key point of Pang Degong's words, and then realized the shortcomings of the current military system of the Tianci Army. However, these malpractices have existed for at least four or five years, and they cannot be eliminated at all in a short period of time, and in order to eliminate the malpractices, Liu Taibu laid a big net, took the southern expedition as the starting point, gathered all the heads of various military departments, and cut off the actual power of the heads of military departments by indirect means.

At the same time, Liu Tai incidentally supported Zhao Yun's position in the Tianci Army. To Zhao Yun, Liu Tai really has nothing to say. For so many years, Zhao Yun is the only general who has stayed outside the military system, and as long as any military department pays attention to Zhao Yun, it will be cleverly avoided by Zhao Yun. In this way, Zhao Yun naturally made Liu Tai more important.

Liu Tai has always taken special care of Zhao Yun, after all, every modern young man who likes the Three Kingdoms has an indescribable affection for Zhao Yun. Since Zhao Yun has been recruited under his command, how can Zhao Yun be allowed to go through a lifetime of obscurity? And Zhao Yun's actual ability is even more outstanding than in history, can Liu Tai not help him rise to the top?

In fact, Liu Tai didn't want to let Zhao Yun go to the top stage too quickly, after all, Zhao Yun was young and had a lot of potential to tap. And wandering in the middle can better play Zhao Yun's desire for supreme fame. However, the world is unpredictable, and even Liu Tai can't really control the overall situation, so in desperation, Liu Tai can only push Zhao Yun out.

Zhao Yun lived up to Liu Tai's expectations. Under many battles, his military ability has been affirmed by everyone. Today's Zhao Yun's reputation in the Heavenly Army can be said to be on par with Huang Zhong, and no one can say that he is completely superior to Zhao Yun.

And when Zhao Yun came to this position, he should be a little proud and a little complacent. What makes Liu Tai extremely satisfied is that Zhao Yun still maintains a conscientious attitude, and he does not dare to be careless about anything. This mentality, coupled with Zhao Yun's personal ability, made Liu Tai really unable to find fault with it.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhao Yun is really perfect. Zhao Yun also has a shortcoming, that is, he is too cautious and does not dare to let go of his courage to do it, this point, Zhao Yun should learn from the new Ma Chao, Ma Chao's courage is famous. The reason why Liu Tai arranged Ma Chao by Zhao Yun's side also has this meaning. It is worth mentioning that when Liu Tai saw Zhao Yun for the first time, he was already ready to make Zhao Yun the number one general in the late Han Dynasty!!!

After pushing Zhao Yun out of the stage, Liu Tai then deprived the head of the military system of his direct military rights, and warned Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and others in private, so that the contradictory relationship within the Tianci Army was temporarily suppressed, after all, without Huang Zhong and others in charge, the middle and lower-level officers could not set off the storm at all! Now that Liu Tai has started the reorganization of the Tianci Army, as long as the reorganization of the Tianci Army is confirmed, then the contradictions between the major military departments will definitely be solved, but there will be competition between various legions, which Liu Tai is happy to see.

If there is no competition, there will be no motivation, and if there is no motivation, then the God-given army will only become a pool of stagnant water!
