Besides, Li Su was promoted to lieutenant of Zhonglang General Sili this time, good guy, what kind of concept is this? Let's put it this way, this position is equivalent to the commander of the Nine Gates of Beijing City in the Qing Dynasty, and now the commander of the capital garrison, this is also a position of the fourth grade, but don't underestimate this fourth grade, his energy is quite large! He is in charge of the defense of the entire Luoyang City, it can be said that he is in command of all the Royal Forest Army, and there are more than 20,000 troops in his hands, and more than 20,000 people are all soldiers with excellent quality, so Li Su is not bad this time, after all, he is a veteran who has followed Dong Zhuo for so many years, Dong Zhuo still takes him very seriously, and his treatment is naturally good.

As Dong Zhuo's henchmen, Li Su and Wen Ping were vigorously promoted, compared to Guan Yu's subordinates Zhang Liao and Li Yan, they were naturally more favored, Zhang Liao and Li Yan were promoted because of their military exploits, and secondly, because as Guan Yu's subordinates, the master was a celebrity around Dong Zhuo, and he was promoted, so he naturally had to follow as his subordinates; The third point is that Guan Yu still has a certain right to speak on the issue of personnel appointment and dismissal, as the second-in-command in the military, the leader who presides over daily affairs, it is understandable to recommend his subordinates, but it is still inferior to Dong Zhuo's henchmen.

After this adjustment, Dong Zhuo's previous henchmen and favorites were all vigorously promoted and all of them were powerful factions in the army, just take Guo Yan as a general of the chariot cavalry, this is a senior general of the deputy first grade, this position was previously held by Zhang Wen, and then Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo were separated, Dong Zhuo decided to remove Zhang Wen, and used this war to arrange his old subordinate Guo Yan to this position.

This chariot cavalry general is the name of a high-ranking general in ancient China. Han system, gold seal purple ribbon. It is second to the Great General and the Hussar General, and above the Wei General and the front, rear, left and right generals. The rank is on the throne, or than the third duke.

In the Han Dynasty, the general of the chariot cavalry was mainly in charge of the conquest and betrayal, and when there was a war, he went out to worship the official, and dismissed the official after the fact. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it began to become a permanent general officer name, and the "Che Cavalry General" was first seen in the "Historical Records? The Biography of the Infant Irrigation said: "(Infant Irrigation) was ordered by the Imperial Doctor to send the Langzhong cavalry to the eastern subordinate Xiangguo Han Xin, and defeated the Qi army in the calendar. The generals captured the chariot and cavalry general Hua did not hurt 46 generals. Later, Guan Ying and "used the chariot and cavalry general to defeat the Yan King Zang Di", "used the chariot to defeat the Han Wang Xin Yu Dai", "the Tu Bu rebelled, the chariot and cavalry general went out first, and the general attacked the cloth and broke it", the "chariot general" at this time should be the general of the army who was temporarily appointed during the war, and it cannot be said to be a fixed official position.

He was in charge of the Siyi Tun Police, the Beijing Division Guard, the conquest and betrayal, the envoy to announce the edict, the recommendation of officials, and the important ushering in ceremonial activities. Emperor Wu was mainly a meritorious person and a close confidant, and then mainly served as a relative, which to a certain extent reflected the fact that the imperial power was left to a relative in the late Western Han Dynasty.

The generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty were also an important part of the central government. There are generals, hussar generals, chariot generals, guard generals, former generals, rear generals, left generals, and right generals. The general is on the third duke, and the hussar general, the chariot general, and the wei general are under the three dukes. Front, rear, left and right generals.

There is a record of "all in charge of soldiers and horses and four yi" under the "front and back left and right generals" of the "Hundred Officials Table". The Book of the Later Han Dynasty? "Hundred Official Chronicles" said: "Generals are not often placed. This note says: Palm conquest betrayal.

Jingshi Bingwei: When the king of Changyi was abolished, "(Huo) Guang drove out the ministers of Changyi and placed them outside the Golden Horse Gate." The general of the chariot cavalry, An Shi, collected more than 200 people from Yulin Cavalry, and sent them to the Imperial Commander's Imperial Prison."

Conquest and betrayal: "Feng Fengshi's Biography" in the second year of Yongguang (42 BC) "In the autumn, Sister Qianggang in Longxi rebelled, and summoned Prime Minister Wei Xuancheng, Imperial Historian Zheng Hong, Great Sima Che Cavalry General Wang Jie, Left General Xu Jia, and Right General Fengshi into the discussion"; "The Biography of Wang Mang" when Emperor Ping Zhai rebelled, Wang Mang sent "Nayan General Yan You, Zhizong General Chen Mao, Che Cavalry General Wang Xun, and Left Team Doctor Wang Wu Xianjin 100,000 soldiers in the prefecture and county, forcing the front team to be ugly."

ushered in the ceremonial activities: in the winter of the first year of Emperor Wen, "sent the general Bo Zhao to welcome the Empress Dowager in the Dynasty"; "The Biography of Zhang Tang" "Emperor Zhao collapsed, not buried, the general (Huo) Guangbai Empress Dowager, Xi Anshi was the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the king of Changyi was established together"; The Book of Han? Emperor Ping" said: "Wang Mang, the marquis of the new capital, is the great Sima and leads the book." In autumn and July, the general Wang Shun and the great Honglu Zuo Xian envoys greeted the king of Zhongshan. "Huo Guang Biography" said: "Emperor Xuan was established, and he saw the high temple, and the general was from the horse, and he was strictly afraid of it, if there was a thorn in the back. Zhang An, the general of the rear chariot cavalry, rode for generations, and the Son of Heaven was calm and unrestrained, and he was very peaceful. ”

"The Biography of Yang Xiong" said: "At the beginning, more than 40 years of Xiong, from Shu to the Beijing Division, the general Wang Yinqi of the great Sima chariot cavalry was elegant, called to be the history of the door, and recommended the male to be edicted. ”

It can be seen from the above that the importance of this chariot general, to Dong Zhuo's period, the position of the chariot cavalry general is still a real position, Guo Yan was arranged to take charge of the defense of the entire Luoyang City in this position, including the imperial forest army inside and outside the palace, the guards, all the palace guards, the whole army's chariot and horse mobilization power, it can be said that Guo Yan's military power is actually greater than Guan Yu, this position has a seal, and with this seal ribbon can command the armies, although Guan Yu's general is a member of the Zhengyipin, the nominal military commander, But his position is more retreat and less pragmatic;

Compared with Guan Yu, Guo Yan's chariot cavalry general has more positions and less retreat, which is a more powerful position, and the level is only half a level different from Guan Yu, so Guo Yan's power and status in the army and influence are quite good, he is also Li Su's direct superior, in charge of Li Su, Li Su is responsible for the affairs of Kyoto as a lieutenant, but he needs to report the situation to his direct boss Guo Yan, responsible for Guo Yan, and led by Guo Yan, to put it bluntly, Li Su is an executive officer of Guo Yan, a pure subordinate, Obeying the orders of his master Guo Yan, not only Li Su, but also Wen Ping, Zhang Liao, Li Yan and others are also subject to Guo Yan, but Zhang Liao and Li Yan are Guan Yu's subordinates, and Guo Yan's power to speak is actually very limited

Besides, Zhang Ji was crowned as General Wei, this is a senior military rank of Zheng Erpin, Zhang Ji as Dong Zhuo's old subordinate for many years naturally did not treat him badly, this General Wei as a senior general of Zheng Erpin, has more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, but Zhang Ji's 50,000 people were not concentrated together but were divided into Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass, and his specific affairs are also more clear, that is, he is responsible for the city defense of the two important passes of Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction are also mostly distributed in these two wings, so it can be said that the importance of his position should not be underestimated.

Zhang Xiu was crowned as General Anton, this is a deputy three-grade position, Zhang Xiu can be in such an important position at such an age, it can be said that it is inseparable from his active efforts, of course, Zhang Xiu is also a fierce general with a lot of military exploits, Dong Zhuo did not know much about him before, and later through several battles, Zhang Xiu's outstanding performance made Dong Zhuo impressed with him, and his talent was fully recognized by Dong Zhuo.
