He Jin originally wanted to persuade Liu Zhang to support Liu Bian with him, but who expected that Liu Zhang would go to Bingzhou, making it clear that he didn't want to participate in the battle for the throne. Since this is the case, in order to increase Liu Wei's weight, He Jin colluded with Yuan Kui and others. Of course, they weren't too far away.

When Liu Zhang escorted Beigong Boyu into the Tingwei Mansion, He Jin got the news, and Yuan Kui also got the news. It's just that Yuan Kui is now only a Qingke under He Jin, because he resigned. However, He Jin promised Yuan Kui that as long as Liu Bian ascended the throne as emperor, he asked Liu Kui to restore Yuan Kui's official position.

got He Jin's promise, and Yuan Kui showed gratitude. But no one knew that in fact, Yuan Kui's purpose was to disturb the world so that the Yuan family could ascend to the throne. With the current situation, all wise people can see that the world is about to collapse, and the key lies in Liu Hong. The sentence that Zu Long died and the world was divided, maybe only He Jin's brothers and sisters didn't know.

Hearing that Liu Zhang caught Beigong Boyu, He Jin admired it, but after admiring it, he had a sense of crisis again. With Liu Zhang's ability, even if Liu Fan ascended the throne as emperor, it would not be He Jin's turn to take power. In order to be able to fight against Liu Zhang, He Jin summoned Yuan Kui and others.

Now the Yuan family has fully cooperated with He Jin, and even Cao Ying has invested under He Jin. Hearing that He Jin had summoned, everyone immediately rushed over. If Liu Zhang knew about the characters, he might be salivating. It's a pity that He Jin looks at people according to his fame and family background, and he can't give full play to the skills of the characters in his hands. It's as if the brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are sitting at the top, but Xun You and Cao Ying are accompanying the last seat.

When everyone arrived, He Jin smiled and told Liu Zhangsheng about Liu Zhang's capture of Beigong Boyu, and then talked about drinking with the emperor in the palace, only to see that everyone present showed different looks. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked hateful, but Cao Ying and Xun You lowered their heads, and only the old foxes such as Yuan Kui and Wang Yun, who had already cultivated to perfection, had a flat face.

"I wonder what the general wants?" Yuan Kui listened quietly to He Jin before asking.

"Uh... Ben Jiang means that Liu Zhang can no longer be so arrogant, and he must be suppressed! He Jin was also ruthless, but he was provoking the family to fight with Liu Zhang, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"General, Liu Zhang's strength lies in the sharpness of the soldiers, if you want to suppress him, you must be made by the general!" Yuan Kui didn't stay stunned, how could he not see He Jin's thoughts? However, he can't say it when he sees it, after all, he and He Jin are allies.

"The general just had no one under him, so he found a few of them!" He Jin was originally a pig killer and a meat seller, and his skin was naturally not ordinarily thick, and bargaining was commonplace.

"It's useless to have someone!" Cao Ying sneered at the next head: "With the ability of the champion Hou, who here can match?" Not to mention the highway and the original brothers, let's just say that Lord Yuan has also eaten his methods. General, Lord Yuan, how many people do you think are stronger than you? ”

"Uh... Meng De has a point! Yuan Kui nodded and said, "But I don't know if Meng De has a good idea?" ”

Cao Ying said with a smile: "Champion Hou once said: Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!" I think so! The specific meaning is to make up for the quality with quantity, for example, the Yellow Turban Road, in fact, the Yellow Turban Road is not powerful, but it can't stand the large number of people, and dozens of millions of people can't stand it. A good tiger can't stand up to the wolves, no matter how powerful the champion Hou is, he is just one person, even if someone helps, it is not as many people as there are here! ”

"Uh..." He Jin and Yuan Kui were stunned, how could they not hear what Cao Ying meant, they just told them to stop fighting among themselves.

"Mengde's words are very good!" He Jin is worthy of being a meat seller, and his thick skin makes Yuan Kui out of reach.

"The kid is vain, please also ask the general, Lord Yuan Haihan!" Cao Ying will retreat when he gets cheap, otherwise he will really provoke He Jin and Yuan Kui, and he will not be able to eat and walk around.

"It's fine!" Yuan Kui reacted, although he didn't like Cao Ying's words very much, but He Jin could tolerate it, and he would not entangle. In Yuan Kui's heart, he can't lose to He Jin, the butcher, by measuring who he loses. However, Cao Ying talked for a long time, but he still had no idea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the kid has a word, I don't know if it's okay, please refer to a few of them!" Xu You's reaction was the fastest, and when he heard Cao Ying's words, he immediately thought of an idea.

"Ziyuan has something to say, even if he says something wrong, we won't blame it!" He Jin wants an idea now, as long as he has an idea, he doesn't mind.

"Just now Meng De said: Quantitative change causes qualitative change! That champion Hou is a military meritor, and the military power in his hands is very heavy, as long as the military power in our hands surpasses him, won't we be able to restrain him? Xu You smiled and asked, "If Champion Hou has 10,000 troops, and we have 100,000, or even 200,000, is he still our opponent?" ”

After listening to Xu You's words, He Jin pondered carefully in his heart: "Liu Zhang has 40,000 troops in Luoyang, and Luoyang has 200,000 troops, most of which are under my name, but..."

Seeing that He Jin was silent, Xu You picked up the cup and took a sip and said: "Actually, our strength is not less than Liu Zhang, there are nearly 160,000 troops in the hands of the general alone, but..."

Speaking of this, Xu Yu stopped. He Jin understood what Xu Yu meant, but he didn't know what to do. So He Jin smiled and asked, "For this matter, I don't know what Ziyuan has to say?" ”

"It's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers!" Xu You said with a smile: "Although there are many troops under the general's command, not all of them can be mobilized. Rather than having so many troops in his hands and making His Majesty suspicious, why not divide a little, maybe you can swallow up the troops of the Champion Hou! ”

"How do you divide your forces to annex Champion Hou's troops?" Ho came in interested, he had been a headache about the army. You must know that as a general, he actually does not have the ability to be a general, Luoyang has an army of 200,000, and it is good that he can command 50,000!

"It's easy!" Xu You said with a smile: "The general can suggest to His Majesty that the troops in Luoyang be separated, and the general only retains the troops that can be commanded, and the rest of the people are left to others to fight." Maybe someone can fight for it, and the general only needs to encircle a general to work for you! Even if you can't get around, isn't there still Lord Yuan? ”

"This..."He Jin hesitated a little, after all, this was to divide power from him.

"General, this is not a division of power from you!" Xun You is also a member of the family, so he naturally wanted to help Yuan Kui speak, only to hear Xun You laugh and say: "Those disobedient armies, on the surface, are in your hands, but they don't belong to you at all, and they look scary but they can't be used." Why did Your Majesty want to cultivate the Champion Hou, isn't it because your power is too great? You weed out those disobedient armies, Your Majesty is at ease with you, you can also have a truly obedient army, this is good and harmless, the only thing that makes you uncomfortable is that the power in your hands looks small! ”

After He Jin heard Xun You's words, he fell into deep thought, and everyone didn't speak, staring at He Jin quietly. After a long time, He Jinchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, then the general will suggest that Your Majesty establish the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan." At the beginning, he could lead a school, but he had to give up his position as a school captain. ”

Yuan Kui nodded, although Captain Si Li is good, he is basically He Jin's person. It's worth it to exchange it for the first lieutenant colonel of the West Garden. Of course, the most important thing is that He Jin agreed to the eighth lieutenant of Lixi Garden. At that time, the Yuan family will master more than just a school. It is very likely that the eighth lieutenant of the West Park is all members of the Yuan family.

The next day, He Jin really raised the matter of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan at the court meeting. If this matter is proposed by Liu Hong or Zhang Rang, it is to reduce He Jin's power. You must know that Liu Hong and Zhang Rang have long been discussing the establishment of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, but now it is He Jin who proposes it, which makes Liu Hong and Zhang Rang quite puzzled.

"Champion Hou, do you think the general's suggestion is okay?" Liu Hong couldn't understand, but found that Liu Zhang was watching the play on the side, so he asked out loud.

"Not bad!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The minister suggested that Jian Shuo should be the captain of the military academy, and he should be in charge of all armies, and directly under His Majesty's command!" ”

"Uh..." He Jin was dumbfounded, if he did it according to Liu Zhang, he would have lost more than half of his rights. He Jin hurriedly straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the champion Hou is ridiculous!" Since he is a general in command, he must be assessed at all levels, not only in martial arts, but also in the art of war, otherwise a reckless man and eunuch can be a general, wouldn't it seem that I have no one in the big man? ”

As soon as He Jin's words came out, many people echoed it, after all, there are many generals who can fight, not many who are literate, and the generals who are both literate and able to fight are mostly from the family, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are ten ** from the family.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Hong didn't know how to decide, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is better to let the generals in the court sign up, and then take the exam!" The first level is a test of generals, so that all the generals can express their opinions, and the second level is a test of martial arts, that is, a competition of martial arts. When the time comes, Your Majesty can choose the first eight people as the captain! ”

Zhang Rang asked at Liu Hong's behest: "How to determine the candidates for the assessment?" ”

"It's easy to hear!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "All generals at the rank of captain and above can participate in the selection, the first level will be tested first, presumably many people will be brushed down, and the second level of the school examination will be easy!" ”

"And how is it chosen?" Zhang Rang asked again.

Liu Zhang replied: "The first level can be selected by His Majesty, his courtiers, and the general, and the people who will be slightly outstanding. Of course, we can all bring our own staff officers, but anyone who participates in the selection is not allowed to participate in the school examination of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden. As for the second level, the competition will be a contest, and the school field will win or lose, but it must not hurt the surname! ”

"Champion Hou is really resourceful!" He Jin was very happy, because Liu Zhang asked him to be one of the judges, but he didn't know that Liu Zhang's sincerity made him embarrassed. He Jin just kills pigs and sells meat, he doesn't read much books, he barely knows a few words, and he sits on the general by nepotism, if he knows how to generalize, it will be hell.

"Good! According to the words of the Great General and the Champion Hou! Liu Hong saw that He Jin agreed to Liu Zhang's suggestion, and he immediately made a decision, because he believed that Liu Zhang would not let him down.
