"Now that you have a loss in virtue, I am afraid that you should be degraded." Jianye Zhou Mansion, Qiao Ren and Zhou Yu sat opposite each other, and this unpleasant sentence came out of Zhou Yu's mouth slowly.

The most important reputation in the Han Dynasty, Qiao Ren's rumors spread in the market, and the entire Jianye probably knew it, if he was still sitting there as his big Sima Hussar general, I am afraid that what was waiting was the attack of those corrupt Confucians who claimed to be defenders, but if the meaning of punishment was too obvious, it would damage Qiao Ren's reputation in the army and among the people, after all, Qiao Ren's foundation was not in Jiangdong Shilin, but in the army and civilians. Although he is also a generation of Confucian scholars, he started with military exploits, and at the same time he is a Huaisi scholar who lives in Jiangdong, and the Shilin in Jiangdong has nothing to do with him.

"What do you mean, brother-in-law?" This brother-in-law is not referring to Zhou Yu, but Sun Ce, who is really sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and watching everything coldly.

"Advance is retreat." Zhou Yu pointed to the books in the conference hall and shook his head.

This is definitely Sun Ce's meaning, and of course it is Zhou Yu's idea. Sun Ce took advantage of his reckless personality when he was young, and made the ministers think that he was a high-spirited master, but in fact, he withdrew from the matter, taking Zhou Yu as the light and himself as the dark, watching coldly, and controlling everything in the background.

"Advance or retreat?" Qiao Ren looked at the book that Zhou Yu was referring to. "Books? Isn't it..."

"I, Dongwu, imitated the King of Wei and set up the three dukes, and now the prime minister and the imperial historian are all there, but the lack of the Taiwei is the only one. Looking at Jiangdong, there is only Ziyan, who has both civil and military skills and military achievements, and can take on this important task. ”

Cutting the power of the army, Qiao Ren's mind was suddenly shocked, but thinking about it, it seemed that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would not cheat him like this. Although Taiwei is named one of the three princes, he is actually just an idle job. At the beginning of the Tai Lieutenant, this position was intermittent and indiscriminate, and among the several Tai Lieutenants, except for Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu and his son, the titular military supervisor had no real power. After Emperor Xiaowu, the Great Sima was born, and the position of Taiwei almost became a noun, although Emperor Guangwu changed the Great Sima to Taiwei, but he was cut off all authority by the general.

Today's Tai Lieutenant is almost a civilian, and Sun Ce seems to want to promote his position as the Great Sima Hussar General to Tai Lieutenant. That is, it blocked the mouth of Shilin, and did not damage Qiao Ren's face, for the soldiers, lower-level generals and even the people who did not know the allusions to the official position, Qiao Ren was promoted, and even listed as the highest military supervisor like Zhou Yu, the general of the Great Sima.

Looking at Qiao Ren's uncertain face, Zhou Yu smiled heartily: "Haha! Ahem, worried about military power? Rest assured, the troops you raise are still your own after all, and Dai Gang is still in command for you. Your rank of ordinary scholar and leader of the army has not changed, and you can still participate in military affairs, but it is just a change of name. ”

"How dare Qiao Ren not listen to his brother-in-law's orders." Qiao Ren also wanted to understand that this step seemed to be a loss of military power, but there was no loss, but he could rest assured that he could control the five battalions.

Zhou Yu probably expected that Qiao Ren would agree, but his expression remained unchanged at all, and he lowered his voice and said: "Bo Fu thinks that the authority of the general is too heavy, that is, he supervises the Chinese and foreign military (the central army and the foreign army are the supreme commanders of the national army), and the military and the government are in charge of the political affairs. Therefore, the Taiwei was re-established, and the Bo Fu means that the Taiwei Mansion and the Great General's Mansion are side by side, and the Taiwei Mansion is in charge of the Tiger Fu, the military position and the military rations; The General's Mansion was in charge of non-commissioned officers, generals, and training operations. ”

Sun Ce's meaning is to put it bluntly, the general or the great Sima is like the commander-in-chief of the three armies, responsible for fighting, while the Taiwei Mansion is the general staff and the logistics department, and also manages the promotion of military generals, dividing the army affairs that were originally handled by the general into two. At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lantai (Yushitai), Shangshutai, Da General (Da Sima) Mansion, and Taiwei Mansion were juxtaposed, and the first three were in charge of administration (like the Prime Minister's Cabinet or the State Council), supervising the judiciary and clean government (a bit too much), and decision-making (the Standing Committee?). The last two are the commander-in-chief and the general staff of the army sequence (probably!?). ）

Coupled with the Fifth Lieutenant and the Fourth Army of the Central Committee, these are not things that Sun Ce thought of, they were precisely proposed by Qiao Ren in the past, but he didn't expect to become the protagonist, politics lies in checks and balances.

"When business is done, you should think about how to explain it to Shang Xiang, right!?" Zhou Yu's voice changed and began to tease Qiao Renlai.

Dealing with Sun Shangxiang? Beat! Definitely not, I can't beat it anymore. Say! Sun Shangxiang can fight. Qiao Ren thought of this, and said with a sad brow: "What else? Let's be honest! ”

"Confession?" Zhou Yu's tone was strange enough, "Ziyan! Ziyan, don't you know when Shangxiang does? Xu's and Shang Xiang have been together for longer than you!! For such a long time, if she really can't detect a clue, she won't be a tyrant! ”

Ba Ji is Sun Shangxiang, before getting married, Sun Shangxiang had the name of the bow waist Ji, and now it is training female guards to guard the palace where Da Qiao and Sun Ceji's concubines live, although there is no official position, but it is actually equivalent to the Changle Guard of the Western Han Dynasty. Cheng Pu once commented in the past: The county lord has been good at watching martial arts since he was a child, he is strict and upright, and all generals are afraid. All the generals are afraid! Over time, the generals called it Baji, opposite to the Jiangdong Xiaobawang.

"This!" Think about it, Sun Shangxiang, step trainer, and Dai Lan are not little women, they are not bad men, more than ten years have passed, and they really don't notice it, so it's strange. "What else? Ren is all slaughtered by his wife. ”

"Okay, the Bofu system will be reformed in the future, and Wei Wenchang will be appointed as the Tiger Wing General, and there will be more time to deal with in the future, don't make the relationship too stiff." Zhou Yu also specially instructed him when he parted, after all, Qiao Ren will be both a lieutenant and a lieutenant in the future, and he will spend more time with Wei Yan, not to mention that the lieutenant has to inspect the five armies once a year, and the leading army in the middle army should select generals in the five armies!

"Whoa!"

"That's true!?" Jia Meng closed Liu Bei, who was beaten back by Xiahou Yuan, so shocked that he even dropped the wine glass in his hand, and Zhang Fei, who started him, had almost this expression.

There is no other reason, there was a plague in Hebei, maybe Liu Bei really helped the heavens, or maybe the emperors of the Liu family blessed him with the spirit of heaven, just when Cao Cao was sitting in Chang'an and preparing to go south, Hebei suddenly broke out of the plague, this time Cao Cao was stupid, the rear was unstable and the plague was rampant, Daijun Wuhuan was about to move, and the undercurrent of the Xudu court was surging, is it really time to enter Hanzhong at this time?

No matter what Cao Cao thought, Fa Zheng in the banquet had a smile on his face anyway, "The lord is overjoyed, Cao Cao may not be able to help Hanzhong in the short term." As long as our army can quickly defeat Xiahou Yuan, Hanzhong will be at your fingertips. ”

"Strategist, how easy is it to win a quick victory!" Although Zhang Fei's personality is loud, he is not stupid, how powerful is his cheap father-in-law Xiahou Yuan, and he has comprehended it a lot over the past year, and he has Zhang Jaw and Xu Huang, and he wins quickly? Just kidding.

"Huh!" Fa Zheng laughed wildly: "I regard Xiahou as a chicken, a dog, and the lord has a plan to win." ”

"Don't talk big!" Zhang Fei, whose tongue was flashed by the wine, said loudly.

And Liu Bei's face is not safe, although he is a reckless hero, he attaches great importance to his image in front of the scribes, Zhang Fei's family is from such a prodigal background, Liu Bei is afraid that he will be annoyed by the talent again, this is an old case. "Yide waited for the military advisor to finish."

"Haha, that's fine." Fa Zheng and Liu Bei have a very good appetite, and he looks at Zhang Fei far more than Zhuge Liang looks at Zhang Fei. "Everyone, please look, Cao Jun's throat is here!"

When everyone heard this, they saw that the place pointed to on the map was Dingjun Mountain.

In the summer of the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Liu Bei led the army to cross the water from the south of Yangping, marched along the mountain, and set up camp in Dingjun Mountain according to the mountain situation. Dingjun Mountain originally had Cao's military camp, but Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses did not win a few times, and all the soldiers and horses of Dingjun Mountain were transferred away, and now Liu Bei occupied Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to bring troops with Zhang Jaw, and set up a village in Magu to prepare to recapture Dingjun Mountain.
