Zuo Houde still looked at his golden finger, almost nothing changed, but his luck value increased a lot because of the spread of Zuo Houde's reputation and after being named General Pingdong.
Of course, there is another surprise, that is, the talent "reincarnation" can be used, of course, Zuo Houde doesn't plan to use it, he is still young and can't do it.
And his luck value is so low, Zuo Houde still wants to get more luck value.
After that, it is a matter of seizing power, of course, seizing power is not a rebellion, today's Dayan looks like a country with peace and security, there is no basis for rebellion at all, Zuo Houde is not stupid.
Judging from the power held by the generals in each army at this time, it is a very simple matter to centralize power. Many of Dayan's high-ranking generals are very power-minded, and they are all indistinguishable in the army.
It sounds incredible, and I think the emperor can't tolerate it. No! In fact, as long as the emperor controls the logistics of the army, he will not shoot the general to rebel at all, and we, the emperor of Dayan, have all started in the army for three generations, and they are not afraid at all.
The most important point is that there is no basis for rebellion at this time, and Hong Zaixing is even more worried.
Of course, Zuo Houde doesn't want to be like those generals in the army, their practices are too rough in Zuo Houde's opinion, and there is even only one voice in the army, but so what? Is the emperor really not afraid at all, impossible.
Even if the emperor has great prestige in the army and controls logistics, the experience of his previous life tells Zuo Houde that every emperor has the idea of "there are always people who want to harm me".
Therefore, in Zuo Houde's view, if you want to centralize power in the army, the first thing is to defile yourself, so that the emperor will let down his vigilance against you.
So the first thing Zuo Houde has to do is to go to the army to gather his own troops, before Zuo Houde had a hundred parts, and he died a lot in battles, and there are dozens, but now Zuo Houde can be expanded to three hundred, these three hundred parts are Zuo Houde's private army, family generals, and Zuo Houde have a lot of use, so you must go to the army to choose well.
Because Zuo Houde was already the highest commander in the Dingcheng Army, he didn't need to report to anyone, just a notice order, which was hung on the most conspicuous gate of the barracks.
In just one morning, thousands of people came to the school field and let Zuo Houde choose, and Zuo Houde asked his subordinates to record the age, origin, official position and introduction of these people to himself, and then disbanded these people.
This time Zuo Houde is different from the last time, before Zuo Houde looked for a troop more to play the role of a personal guard on the battlefield, so Zuo Houde chose a strong soldier last time, in fact, many generals are also Zuo Houde's ideas, so their subordinates often become their own personal guards.
But now Zuo Houde's thoughts are different, he is ready to completely turn his subordinates into his own private army, and should not be a personal guard, so the requirements for Zuo Houde this time are different.
"Zhang Long, elect people over thirty years old." Zuo Houde commanded the leader of his tribe.
Although Zhang Long didn't understand, as Zuo Houde's general, he wouldn't talk much.
Zhang Long began to select, and after the selection, there were only more than 2,000 people.
Zuo Houde thought about it and then ordered: "Pick out those who are from Dingcheng, and finally arrange them for me according to their ranks." ”
After a short time, Zhang Long selected all of them, and there were still more than 1,000 people, which was normal, and the defenders of the frontier were often the children of the frontier.
Dingcheng is a fortress in the north and south, and it is also the border of the Yan Kingdom, so most of the defenders here are also from Dingcheng.
Zuo Houde began to look at the resumes of a thousand people, in fact, the reason why Zuo Houde chose this is very simple, he is still willing to be someone else's general after he is over thirty years old, and he decides to be a person who is not reused in the army, such a person, Zuo Houde can accept their hearts, if he is loyal to Hong Zaixing, Zuo Houde does not dare to accept it.
Secondly, most of them are over 30 years old, most of them have a family, and they are from Dingcheng, these people are simply the best eyes and ears of Zuo Houde, so that Zuo Houde can know the wind and grass of Dingcheng.
Of course, if you are over 30 years old and mature enough to understand the relationship of interests, it will not be bad for such a person to stay by his side.
After a short time, Zuo Houde finished reading the profiles of more than 1,000 people, and Zuo Houde deleted some of the more inappropriate ones from them, and then asked them to gradually come to the barracks for interviews.
It took a long time, about five or six days, but Zuo Houde felt that it was very suitable, after all, it was worth it.
……
"Your name is Yao Ping? Since it's Sima, why are you still willing to come to me to do a part? This is the person with the highest military rank in the trilogy, Zuo Houde looked at him with some curiosity.
"There are seven in the thirty years of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is difficult to rise again, the general is young and promising, Yao Ping volunteered!" Yao Ping looked at Zuo Houde with burning eyes.
Zuo Houde knew at a glance that Yao Ping was telling the truth, he saw ambition in Yao Ping's eyes, and he could be Sima in the army, but Yao Ping was a talent, Zuo Houde decided to accept it, as for ambition, who didn't have it?
……
"Oh? Brilliant. Zuo Houde looked at the eight-foot-tall man in front of him, Zuo Houde had read his profile and knew that this was a villain in the army, so although he had meritorious deeds, he was often not promoted.
Gao Ming looked at Zuo Houde excitedly, Zuo Houde's previous actions in the battle against Lu Xiaoxian in front of the city made him a hero in the hearts of most soldiers in the army.
"It's the last general!" Gao Ming clenched his fists and said.
"I know that there is still an old mother in your family, although you are quite notorious in the army, but you never bully the weak, and at the same time, the neighbors also say that you are a person of pure filial piety, I only ask you to do one thing, and my subordinates must obey my orders."
Zuo Houde looked at Gao Ming and said lightly, for the people he wants to recruit, Zuo Houde has understood their family situation, so if he says it during the interview, he will naturally be able to accept his heart.
Sure enough, Gao Ming's eyes were slightly red, and he made a grateful look: "The general knows me, although I have a bad reputation in the army, but Gao Ming never bullies the weak, the previous boss tried in vain to snatch me and other meritorious deeds, Gao Ming will do it, the general is a hero in the world, Gao Ming naturally respects the order!" ”
……
Time passed quickly, a week in the blink of an eye, and it didn't take long for Zuo Houde to find all his subordinates, a total of 256 people, all of whom were selected by Zuo Houde, and Zuo Houde divided these subordinates into two parts and handed them over to Gao Ming and Yao Ping respectively.
As for Zuo Houde's original more than 40 parts, Zuo Houde temporarily let them serve as his personal guards, the reason why this is so is because Zuo Houde still doesn't trust them enough in his heart, and Zuo Houde's original parts are all from Youzhou.
Zuo Houde, who was born in Youzhou, knows how deep the accumulation of Hong Zaixing's three generations is and how great his prestige is in Youzhou! Of these Youzhou troops, Zuo Houde can only temporarily use them as personal guards in the army.
