Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mutation Protrusion
"Your Majesty, this time in the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers of our Northern Army have just fought a vicious battle, and they have returned to the capital after a long journey, if the remaining soldiers are allowed to go to the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that the guarding ability of the Beijing Division will be weak, please think twice." At this time, Zhu Jun, Huang Pu Song, and Lu Zhi jumped out.
"This 。。。。。。" Emperor Han Ling was also embarrassed, although it was said that this was the capital of Luoyang, but he did not dare to guarantee absolute safety, in case of another Yellow Turban Army uprising from Luoyang City, there would be trouble if there was not enough strength to suppress it.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan."
"Xue Aiqing, come quickly."
"Before, in order to rectify the chaotic army in the world, Your Majesty listened to the advice of Lord Liu Yan, and the military and political officials in various places were integrated, and the minister thought that this plan was conducive to the long-term peace and stability of my Han Dynasty, but from this point of view, Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong are now the town guards of Qingzhou, so naturally they should also have military power. Therefore, Weichen believes that they can be outnumbered by themselves, and the imperial court will provide them with armor and blades, and they will be accompanied by some of the northern army soldiers of the imperial court, and the minister believes that there will be a group of tiger and wolf divisions for His Majesty to use. ”
"Well, this plan is good, what do you think Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, although this plan is wonderful, but now Qingzhou has just defeated the Yellow Turban Army, so the people have just ended the pain of displacement, so the physical fitness of the people of Qingzhou may be very weak, so the minister suggested that you can take out a part of the gold and silver treasures from other places to use as the capital of the widows. In this way, the people can be allowed to leave their homeland openly. ”
"This, Rong Zhen thinks about it." At this time, Emperor Han Ling can be said to be very entangled, let him pay for it, although his treasury and his own small treasury are too much, and they can't spend it in a few lifetimes, but this is a very difficult thing, if it is placed in normal times, it is simply a fantasy, but now it is different, because of the rebellion of the northern ethnic minorities, Emperor Han Ling not only boasted of Haikou in the court of the imperial court, but also although Emperor Han Ling was mediocre, but the priorities of some things were still clear, after Xue Rengui's words, I have understood the importance of sweeping the northern frontier, but the northern army cannot move, because some of them have just returned from the Qingzhou battlefield, and if they go to crusade against the northern Xinjiang, I am afraid it will be half the effort, but if the remaining northern army is allowed to crusade against the northern Xinjiang, Emperor Ling of Han is already "once bitten by a snake, and ten years afraid of the well rope." He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the rebels with the Northern Army exerting only these physical strengths, especially if there were people rebelling now.
"Good! I'm right! Emperor Han Ling gritted his teeth, held on to the dragon chair and barely stabilized his figure, as if he had used all his strength to say this.
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers present knew that Emperor Han Ling regarded wealth as his life, so when they heard Emperor Han Ling say this order, the ministers needed to quickly pat Emperor Han Ling on the back.
However, none of the ministers present could understand Emperor Han Ling's heart, even Xue Rengui, who had crossed over, didn't understand.
"Okay, where is the best place for the widows?" It took a long time for Emperor Han Ling to ease his momentum, and then he continued to ask.
At this time, Xue Rengui's eyes glanced at Zhang Rang, and then two fingers stretched out from his hand. Zhang Rang is so fine, after all, he is a person who has served the emperor for so long, and he is good in the deep palace, who can not see it? At a glance, it was clear that Xue Rengui meant to let the emperor go to Xue Rengui's territory, Yanzhou Widow Soldiers, and give Zhang Rang two boxes of gold after the matter was completed.
Although Zhang Rang is in a high position, and he is also a celebrity next to the emperor, but because the hundred officials and ministers of the imperial court look down on them eunuchs, he rarely has the opportunity to collect money, and now Xue Rengui has produced two boxes of gold, even if it is the kind of box the size of a small jewelry box, it is enough for Zhang Rang to be excited for a long time, so Xue Rengui has already seen Zhang Rang's eyes begin to redden. Nine times out of ten, he really did it.
However, Xue Rengui found that Zhang Rang was still in a very excited state, and couldn't help coughing.
At this moment, Zhang Rangke sobered up, so he bowed his head and said to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that you can send someone to Yanzhou to widow soldiers, Yanzhou is under the governance of General Xue, and the slave believes that it must be very reasonable, you can send people to widow soldiers, and you can definitely recruit warriors, so that the emperor can put down the rebels in northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, so as to promote the national prestige of my Han Dynasty, surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and become a generation of Ming monarchs, and leave a name in history." Forever! ”
Zhang Rang also fought hard to get two boxes of gold, and he didn't know how this brain, who had never learned anything, said such exciting words.
Emperor Han Ling was excited when he heard Zhang Rang say this, although Emperor Han Ling loved money, but that emperor didn't want to exist forever and leave his name in history. His face turned red, as if he had taken some kind of excitatory medicine, "Xue Aiqing, after thinking about it, I still think that your Yanzhou is a good place for conscription, I don't know what Xue Aiqing thinks?" If I give you this task, I don't know if Xue Aiqing is up to the task? ”
Xue Rengui thought to himself: "Then I can't wait for it!" Take your money and give me equipment for the troops, and let me take your world in the future, alas, stupid Emperor Han Ling! However, of course I will accept your kindness. Thinking of this, he continued to say to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the country. Wechen is naturally willing. ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then the task of recruiting and training recruits will be handed over to General Xue, and I hope that General Xue will make more contributions to my Han."
"Weichen must do his best for the Han." Xue Rengui also had a skill in saying this, he didn't say that he "did his best and died." But he just said a word of dedication, but if the Han Dynasty can't support it in the future, it's none of his business, he can still draw the land as the king, and after reunification, he will still be called the emperor.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll send Lord Yang Biao to calculate the money and food, and he will assist you." Although Emperor Han Ling didn't hear Xue Rengui's words, after all, Emperor Han Ling was a man who regarded money as his life, even if he knew that Xue Rengui was unlikely to embezzle, he would try his best to ask Yang Biao to spend less money.
"The old minister is grateful."
"Alright, if there is nothing else to do, let's retreat."
"Retreat." With Zhang Rang's crisp voice, the civil and military ministers also left the court one after another after seeing the emperor leave.
Soon, with the end of the court meeting, the holy decrees of different tasks were delivered to the hands of each party under the transportation of the public administration of the post station.
Regarding Xue Rengui's purchase of Qingzhou Thorn History for Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong, it is not because Xue Rengui is biased or anything, but because Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong are not very famous under Xue Rengui, many people will not know that the two of them are Xue Rengui's subordinates, and moreover, Qingzhou Thorn History is just a name, or a civil official sent by Xue Rengui to manage affairs, so no matter who goes, it is still Xue Rengui's territory, and it is a hidden territory, maybe it will play a very important role that day.
"The emperor's edict said, the northern Xianbei, Karasuma two departments, arrogant, do not abide by the ancestral rules, and dare to privately offend my Han country. I know very well that Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong are known as the two adults who have the talent to command the army, and now they have specially appointed Qin Qiong as the general of the sweeping north, and set off to Yanzhou to recruit troops on the same day, and the hussar general Xue Rengui will assist you in recruiting troops, as well as training, and set off to conquer the north on a certain day, Luo will become the general of Qingzhou town guard, and the town will guard Qingzhou. Chin this. ”
"Luo Cheng (Qin Qiong) received the order and thanked him."
The wheel of time is moving forward in a hurry, Xue Rengui and Luo Cheng, with the assistance of Yang Biao, successfully recruited 200,000 troops, of course, it is obviously impossible to recruit so many soldiers in Yanzhou, but this time the imperial court is willing to pay, and because of the natural and man-made disasters that made it before, as well as the H Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people are all struggling to make a living, many people have money to give, and there is food to eat, and there are countless strong men from all over the country. On the other hand, Yanzhou has recruited the least number of soldiers and horses, only 350,000.
Just when the soldiers were almost training, Emperor Ling of Han suddenly received a letter of surrender from Xianbei and Karasuma in the north, and also sent a large number of cattle and sheep. This made Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty excited, and immediately ordered Xue Rengui and Luo Cheng to stop training, and ordered Yang Biao to return to the court, of which 120,000 soldiers were returned to the Northern Army, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers were returned to Qingzhou, led by Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong.
After Xue Rengui knew about this, he hurriedly sent someone to inquire about what happened, and finally after more than ten days, he understood that it was the Western Turks that suddenly rose strongly, and under the strong offensive of King Chibi Baokang and his general Zu Wheel, Xianbei and Karasuma were attacked in the rear, and now Xianbei and Karasuma have united to attack the Western Turks.
After Xue Rengui learned about this, he originally wanted to write to Emperor Han Ling to continue to attack Xianbei and Karasuma, but Xue Rengui thought about it and gave up, after all, now Emperor Han Ling no longer has that kind of Son of Heaven spirit, but he knows that he likes money, Xianbei and Karasuma must have given a lot of money to surrender temporarily, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Han Ling to keep the 200,000 troops he has just recruited. However, Xue Rengui also tried his best to persuade Emperor Ling of Han to adjust the 50,000 horses that were originally intended to be left in Qingzhou to 80,000. Xue Rengui sent Xu Maogong to Qingzhou to assist Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong. Then, in disguise, he prepared to go south.
