Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have been two armies, the southern army guarding the palace, and the northern army guarding Luoyang. During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, eight captains were added to the Northern Army, namely the lieutenant of the middle base, the captain of the Tun cavalry, the captain of the infantry, the captain of the Yue cavalry, the captain of Changshui, the captain of the Hu cavalry, the captain of the shooting sound, and the captain of the tiger ben.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the lieutenant of the middle base has been omitted, Hu Qi has been merged into Changshui, and the tiger has been merged into the incident, leaving only the five schools, which is often called the five schools of the Northern Army. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty contains the "Five Divisions of the Great General's Camp", which refers to the five schools of the Northern Army.

In the game, the five schools of the Northern Army probably have nearly 10 million elite soldiers, but they suffered heavy losses in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and in the past two years, they have been requisitioned. Even if he could put down the rebellion, he was almost crippled, so Liu Hong had the idea of building a new army.

Historically, because Liu Hong recruited troops in the West Garden, the Eighth Captain of the New Army was also known as the Eighth Captain of the West Garden; In the game, he not only built an army in the West Garden, but also sold officials in the West Garden at the same time, and invested the money he earned in the construction of the army.

The reason why Liu Feng is strange is because this matter has spread before he set off, and it has been half a year now, so the matter of the new military captain has not been decided.

"Undecided! Those court princes, while scolding me for selling officials, saying that this is destroying the foundation of the country, and at the same time desperately trying to stuff their own people in. Liu Hong said hatefully, "So far, only the upper military academy captain Jian Shuo, the middle military captain Yuan Shao and the lower military captain Bao Hong have been decided, and the others are still arguing." ”

Even if Liu Hong is the spokesperson of Zhibrain and has a long-term vision, he is still an independent intelligent person after all, with love and hatred, preferences, and emotions, and will be upset about what happens around him.

"I want to ask Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the formation and training of the new army?" Liu Feng did not answer Liu Hong's question, but asked another question.

"The purpose? Of course, it is for the sake of protecting my children after my death. Liu Hong said, "So I'm letting Jian Shuo become a military captain and lead the army." ”

"But has Your Majesty ever thought that after your death, Jian Shuo will definitely be able to master these armies? Can he command the other lieutenants? Liu Feng questioned again, "Don't talk about others, let's talk about Yuan Benchu, do you think it is possible for him to cooperate with the eunuchs to protect the new monarch?" ”

This is no longer the case in history. Historically, Liu Hong favored Liu Xie and wanted to make him emperor, so there was a situation where Jian Shuo commanded the Eighth Army, but now the situation has completely changed, and it seems that the new army is not so useful.

"Seems to be the truth!" Liu Hong thought for a while.

"The prince is still too young, and if Your Majesty can wait until he grows up, it will be perfectly fine to do so. But Your Majesty also said that you don't have much time left. Needless to say, after the new army is formed, who will it fall into? The prince will inevitably become a puppet-like existence, this is a fact that cannot be changed. ”

"Also, Your Majesty once said that the Great Han Kingdom Zuo will not be long, so what's the problem? The careerists are still hidden, the generals and the lieutenants are not in harmony, and if they continue to fight, they will surely make people profit. ”

"Therefore, the current new army is completely chicken. Since they want it, just give it to them, as long as they pay enough price. Liu Feng suggested.

"Who is the careerist?" Liu Hong suddenly asked.

"I don't know!" Liu Feng shook his head.

"No, you're an alien, you know for sure." Liu Hong said affirmatively.

"Yes, as an Inhuman, I know; But as a courtier of His Majesty, I really don't know. Your Majesty, are you sure you want me to say that you think the gods would allow it? Besides, even if I say it, Your Majesty will know about it, so what can I do? His power has been established, and even if he is preparing, it will not help. Besides, if I change the status quo too much, I may not be able to cope with the next changes. Liu Feng said.

"Looks like I'm clever." Liu Hong smiled bitterly, "But now that the new army has 2 million, it can't be disbanded, right?" ”

"Since it has been recruited, it must not be disbanded, otherwise it will arouse suspicion." Liu Feng said, "Your Majesty only needs to send someone to train a group of people to protect the prince's safety, not too much, but the combat effectiveness must be strong." As for other ideas, forget it! ”

"Anyway, I can't care so much, as long as I arrange my youngest son's affairs." Liu Hong smiled bitterly again, "What about you?" Interested in becoming a lieutenant? Although he may not have much power in the future, his rank is not low. ”

"Forget it, I'm self-aware, my strength is too poor." Liu Feng said, "But Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao can, but I don't know if he wants to?" ”

"What Jinan Xiang, people have long since stopped doing it." Liu Hong said, "Now I'm studying at home!" It's his father, who just bought a lieutenant. ”

"Wouldn't that be just right, just call him back." Liu Feng said with a smile. After going back, he didn't pay much attention to Cao Cao's affairs, and he didn't know that he had resigned.

"I thought you would recommend Liu Bei!" Liu Hong glanced at Liu Feng strangely.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is capable, but like me, his reputation is too small and his background is humble, so he is not suitable for the court." Liu Feng replied.

"There must be other reasons for you, but it doesn't matter, as long as you do my last request. Now, take the money! Liu Hong said.

"What money?" Liu Feng pretended to be stupid.

"Nonsense, you don't need money to get your title promoted!" Liu Hong said angrily, "You don't really think it's for nothing, do you?" ”

"But I've already given Zhang Changzhi 500,000 gold." Liu Feng was in a hurry, and suddenly said something missing.

"That's your business, if you want to give it to him, I don't care. I'll give you a discount, 1 million is it. Liu Hongcai doesn't care about Liu Feng and Liu Feng's mood.

"Zhang Rang this old thing, no wonder it is so cheap, it turns out that there is this one. Wait, I'll let you pay back the money with interest when the time comes. Liu Feng said secretly in his heart.

"Isn't it just 1 million, what's distressing, it's a big deal that the next time you are promoted to be the minister of state, I won't charge you money." Liu Hong accepted the money and was in a very good mood.

1 million gold, in exchange for reality, it is 100 million, and the dare is not your loss. If it weren't for the fact that these were all snatched, Liu Feng would really be reluctant. 1 million, relying on taxes, it will take a few years to collect it!

Therefore, as soon as he heard Liu Hong's words, he immediately continued: "Your Majesty, this is what you said, next time I really don't have any money." ”

"Okay, I said, give you a token, and next time you can directly enter the palace with the order, you don't need to report through Zhang Rang." Liu Hong threw over a sign.

Liu Feng took it and looked at it, there was only one attribute, that is, to enter the palace by virtue of this, and it could only be useful when Liu Hong was in power, and he secretly said in his heart that he was worthy of being the emperor of business, and he would not be taken advantage of at all. It seems that it is already the limit to be able to send a phoenix pendant before.

"Your Majesty, if Marquis Zhang asks, how should the lower officials answer?" Seeing that Liu Hong was about to call Zhang Rang in, Liu Feng asked.

"Whatever you want, the news will be public soon anyway." Liu Hongdao.

Zhang Rang came in and glared at Liu Feng fiercely, this time he was driven outside for more than a quarter of an hour.

Liu Hong just told Zhang Rang to arrange for someone to inform him that he would go to the court tomorrow to discuss the matter of the new army, and then let Liu Feng go back, and Zhang Rang took the opportunity to ask for a paragraph.

Liu Hong knew Zhang Rang's purpose, so he didn't care about him and let them out.

"What did Your Majesty say to you?" Before leaving Liu Hong's sight, Zhang Rang asked gloomily.

"Master Hou is embarrassed to ask, you accepted the money from the lower officials to help the lower officials achieve their goals, but Your Majesty charged an extra 1 million." Liu Feng pretended to be angry, "If I knew this was the case, the lower officials would not be extravagant." ”

Zhang Rang smiled embarrassedly, after all, he was not authentic in this matter, he cheated Liu Feng, and was exposed in person, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Why should Zhiyuan mind, you must know that now Your Majesty is selling officials, ordinary people are 10,000 gold for one stone, and the Hou of Guan Nei wants to be on par with the three dukes, even if Jiuqing wants to ascend to the throne, it will cost 10 million, and your rank of Hou is promoted to a level, which is already very cheap. Under normal circumstances, even if there is a great achievement, it will take 5 million. Zhang Rang made an excuse and said, "This is because Ben Hou wasted a lot of effort to convince His Majesty, shouldn't you reveal something to Ben Hou?" ”

"Your Majesty has explained, this matter must be kept secret, and the lower officials are very embarrassed!" Liu Feng frowned.

"It's a big deal that Ben Hou will do you a favor for free in the future, of course, the premise is that it can't be unfavorable to Ben Hou." Zhang Rang looked like he had suffered a loss.

"Okay, for the sake of Hou Ye's help a few times, the lower officials will disobey the order once, but Hou Ye must guarantee that it cannot be passed on." Liu Feng whispered.

"Of course, let's talk about it!" Zhang Rang urged.

His Majesty first asked the subordinate if he was interested in coming to Luoyang to serve, such as being a lieutenant in the new army, but he was self-aware and refused. Of course, that's not the point. Liu Feng said in a very low voice, and when he saw that Zhang Rang was about to change his face, he hurriedly continued, "The point is that Your Majesty inquired about the situation in Yizhou in detail, and it seems that there is a intention to send a prince to Yizhou. Before this matter is announced, Master Hou must keep it a secret! ”

"Shhh Zhang Rang gasped.

What does this mean, Emperor? Is this true or false? If it's true, is that the prince going to go? Your Majesty is kind to the little prince, is the purpose of organizing and training the new army to divide the military power of the general and prepare for the little prince's ascension? In case the little prince arrives in Yizhou, what is Your Majesty's actions for?

……

This news is too crucial, and knowing it early will allow him to prepare in advance. But the amount of information in it was too large, and Zhang Rang suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

Do you want to talk to someone? What if the news gets out and His Majesty blames? What if you think about it yourself and understand the wrong emperor's intentions? Which prince is it? Each prince represents a very different signal, so what if you guess wrong? Or wait for the exact news to come out before making a decision?

Zhang Rang thought for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, Liu Feng was gone. He smiled like he laughed at himself, he really made a problem for himself! (To be continued.) )
