Chapter 382: Reactions from all sides
It was only a little more than a month before and after Yuan Shao issued the crusade document to the five coalition forces all retracted. This is also a strange phenomenon in the history of war.
The five-party alliance united Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou in terms of population and area several times that of the three states controlled by Wei Xuan, but the result was greatly beyond everyone's expectations. In addition to Wei Xuan's justifiable mastery of Chen Liu, he also obtained Wei County. Of course, the more reaping is fame.
After fully deterring the five parties, Wei Xuan's internal consumption actually reached an unacceptable level, but fortunately, Yuan Shao and the two brothers sent a large amount of grain and grass to solve the problem of Wei Xuanjun for more than half a year.
After Yuan Shu confessed, Wei Xuan returned to Luoyang with Zhao Yun and Zhang He.
Tian Feng and Gao Shun also returned with the army, and Wei Xuan immediately appointed Jia Xu and Tian Feng as the left and right attendants of the general's military department.
At the same time, the people who made meritorious contributions in the melee of the princes were promoted accordingly, and Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Wei Zheng and Wei Yan were named the generals of Siping, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Zhang Ji, Zhang He, Du Peng, and Wei Tongγ???????????????? Duan Xuan, Wei Yun, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, etc. are miscellaneous generals, and the rest of the lieutenant generals and lieutenants are innumerable.
Gao Shun still refused to submit to Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan could only promise not to be an enemy of Lu Bu for three years, not to assist other princes to deal with Lu Bu, if he was in trouble in the future, he was willing to take care of Lu Bu's family, Gao Shun was willing to join Wei Xuan's army.
For Gao Shun's arrangement, Wei Xuan could only let him start as a lieutenant first, and transfer 3,000 elite infantry to Gao Shun for training in the whole army, which was subordinate to Zhao Yun's department. So far, Zhao Yun's troops have also reached 15,000 people.
The rest of the ministries demanded that they be reorganized according to the new establishment, with fewer being filled up and more being eliminated and sent to Tuntian. Among them, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Wei Yan, and Wei Zheng were full of 15,000 generals, and Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci were authorized to have 15,000 people because of their special strategic location.
The rest such as Xu Huang, Zhang Yang, Du Peng, Wei Tong, Zhang He, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan, and Wei Yunjun all required to be compressed to 10,000 people. There are 3,000 front-line soldiers and 1,000 internal soldiers. With a population of about 8 million to feed an army of about 230,000, Suna is slightly surplus, but the state and Guanzhong need to recover their vitality, and there is basically zero tax burden.
Wei Xuan's single-handedly resisted the crusade of Yuan Shao and other five-party coalition forces, which was a happy thing for Wei Xuan's subordinate martial arts, and the victory of the war once again proved that they followed the right lord. With the inclusion of Chen Liu and Wei County in the territory, internal affairs experts such as Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao have more room to play. The addition of Zhang He, Tian Feng and Gao Shun greatly strengthened the level of generals of the Weixuan Army.
It is also a matter of joy for the people under Wei Xuan's jurisdiction, because Wei Xuan's once again keeping out the war may be unfair to the people of other states and counties, but it is a good thing for the people under Wei Xuan's rule. Moreover, the victory allowed the Yuan Shao brothers to oppress the people under their rule, so that the heavy burden was smoothly transferred.
There is a group of people who are not happy, that is, the Chang'an Imperial Court, which has been idle by Wei Xuan in Hedong. The Son of Heaven and those civil and military ministers who are only loyal to the Son of Heaven. Wei Xuan showed super combat effectiveness, and also completely killed the idea of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, who wanted to contain Wei Xuan with the help of the Kwantung heroes. Who will dare to stand up and blatantly oppose Wei Xuan in the future?
Moreover, Wei Xuan achieved such a great military victory on behalf of the imperial court, and the imperial court had to make a statement to show the existence of the imperial court and the virtue of the Son of Heaven.
So the Son of Heaven approved Wei Xuan's gesture, and at the same time sent the new lieutenant Huang Wan to Luoyang to canonize Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan was already a cavalry general before, second only to Dong Chenghussar general. In this situation, it is obviously impossible to convince Wei Xuan to be promoted by the two of them. Therefore, the result of the discussion between the Son of Heaven and the ministers was to worship Wei Xuan as the general of the Sikong Commanding Chariot.
When Jinyiwei delivered the news to Luoyang in advance, Wei Xuan directly entered Hongnong with Zhao Yunbu, preparing to stay in Chang'an for a long time in the name of exterminating the traitors in Liangzhou. In fact, in terms of military strength, Han Sui and Ma Teng of Liangzhou are indeed stronger than the Kwantung heroes alone, and the key is that there are many cavalry in Liangzhou and their speed is fast.
In this way, Huang Wan pounced, but Wei Xuan did not do anything to the end, and before leaving, he specially explained to the court and other princes what they tried to represent Xun Yu???????????????? Zhuge Jin of the General's Mansion received it on his behalf.
Wei Xuan did this because the Son of Heaven still has use value, and Xun Yu is one of the few people in his camp who are loyal to the Han family and loyal to the Son of Heaven. asked Xun Yu to receive Huang Wan in order not to make Huang Wan too ugly and detrimental to his reputation. I also want Xun Yu to persuade Huang Wan and inform the Son of Heaven through the yellow network. If you want to recognize this court and the Son of Heaven yourself, you must decentralize power. Otherwise, the Son of Heaven and the court will always be just like a wooden plaque on the shrine.
When Huang Wan arrived in Luoyang, accompanied by Xun Yu and Zhuge Jin, he saw Luoyang City, and his heart was also full of emotion. Although the other areas of Luoyang City are not as popular as before the imperial court moved westward, many new buildings have also added some vitality to the Shenjing of Luoyang. Only Wei Xuan's general's palace and the place where the imperial palace were located were in ruins. Wei Xuan's general's mansion is his original mansion, and the expansion is only relatively simple, but the palace has not been repaired at all over the years, and it is really dilapidated.
Originally, after defeating Li Dao and Guo Yan last time, Wei Xuan planned to repair the palace and welcome Liu Xie back to Luoyang. As a result, Dong Cheng and Yang Biao happened successively. The Son of Heaven would rather raise a guard captain to suppress Wei Xuan, but he is not willing to record Shang Shushi for Wei Xuan. led to Yang Biao's dominance in the imperial court, and also caused the Hongnong rebellion.
After Yang Hong's accident, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, still had no intention of asking Wei Xuan to record Shangshu. Wei Xuan wondered that the current imperial court nominally did not even control an inch of land, but it still wanted to balance. Where did Liu Xie come up with the idea? But it's okay, if the Son of Heaven doesn't record Shang Shu for Wei Xuan, then every inch of land under Wei Xuan's governance has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel and the transfer of troops here do not need to go through the imperial court and the Son of Heaven.
Xun Yu vaguely knew some of Wei Xuan's thoughts, of course, Wei Xuan is indeed a ruler who attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, and the state has been in a free-range state all these years, and he has only symbolically paid some grain, and there is no tax money at all. After Guanzhong was subdued, it also adopted the same policy as the annexation of the state to restore the people's livelihood, but Wei Xuan still had to feed more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the princes from all walks of life. If it weren't for the thick foundation before, if it weren't for the brave and good fighting of his soldiers, he would have been unable to make ends meet at this moment, and it would be reasonable not to repair the palace. What's more, the general's mansion is also dilapidated.
However, Huang Wan was really dissatisfied, standing in front of the dilapidated palace, and said to Xun Yu and Zhuge Jin, who accompanied him, and said inwardly: "Wen Ruo, what does this Wei Zhongdao want to do, he has occupied Henan for three or four years, why is the palace still like this?" β
Xun Yu was a little embarrassed, glanced at Zhuge Jin and sneered at Huang Wan: "Taiwei is angry, the chariot has been fighting in the south and the north for many years, and after expelling the Huns, he has implemented a three-year tax exemption in order to restore his income, and now Guanzhong is also tax-free for three years." However, in order to deal with the northern barbarians and the rebels in Liangzhou, as well as the separatist forces in the Kwantung region, the Che Cavalry General also had to lead a huge army to defend the territory. β
Huang Wan snorted coldly: "The first emperor cut him out of Hedong, and now His Majesty has repeatedly crowned him, and now he is a young man who is already a commonplace, the Marquis of Jinyang." But he doesn't want to repay the emperor's kindness, if this continues, when will His Majesty return to Luoyang to command the world? β
Xun Yu was speechless, the corners of Zhuge Jin's mouth twitched, he was greatly influenced by Zhang Zhao and others, and he also saw the fiasco in Henan with his own eyes???????????????? and how much effort it made for the Weixuan organization to fill in the imperial mausoleum and restore the prosperity of Henan.
Huang Wan's high-minded appearance made him a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he still couldn't help but speak. Huang Wan saw a strange expression and was displeased: "Ziyu, aren't you the old man wrong?" β
Zhuge Jin bowed his head and was silent, he was a member of General Wei Xuan's mansion, his words and deeds represented Wei Xuan, Huang Wan wanted to use the topic to play, he would not give him a chance.
Xun Yu liked this young man very much, and he liked his younger brother Zhuge Liang even more, so he said: "Taiwei, General Che is loyal to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. It's just that Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others have destroyed a lot in Henan and Jing Zhaoyin, and there are too many places that need to be spent on waste. β
Huang Wan is also an old politician, where do you not know that Xun Yu is perfunctory, the Wei Xuanhui has no money, and the Hedong Wei family is full of splendor. There is also the commercial center of Henan, so the shops of David's family are overcrowded every day, and the customers are from Sili and more from the major states of the Kanto. However, Huang Wan also knew that he wanted Wei Xuan to take out the Wei family's private property to repair the palace, unless the Son of Heaven valued the Wei family or Wei Xuan was ready to ascend the throne himself.
And the Son of Heaven guarded against Wei Xuan, who held the male soldiers, everywhere because of the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Li Dao and others. Of course, Wei Xuan could feel it.
Sighing, Huang Wan asked, "Wen Ruo, what do you say Wei Zhongdao will do to welcome the Son of Heaven back?" β
Xun Yu was also very embarrassed, he was loyal to the Han family. But now Wei Xuan's six-part system is very sound, and the upcoming imperial examination will completely overturn the previous imperial court's method of selecting talents by recommendation. With strong soldiers in hand, and being able to recruit talents from all over the world, it doesn't matter where the court is. Is this going to be ready to hang the arch and rule?
Seeing that Xun Yu didn't speak, Huang Wan turned to Zhuge Jin again, and Huang Wan pouted: "The old man doesn't care, he Wei Zhongdao has no money to support hundreds of thousands of troops, why don't his parents and clansmen in Hedong have no money to repair the palace?" β
Zhuge Jin couldn't hold back any longer and said weakly: "Taiwei, as long as the Son of Heaven and the imperial court issue an edict for the Kwantung Qunxiong to disband the army or pay tribute to the imperial court, this matter of repairing the palace can be solved immediately." β
