Gan Ning was born in the Gan clan of Ba County, and his ancestor is said to be Gan Mao, the prime minister of the Qin State, and the Gan family has some fame and prestige in the Linjiang area of Ba County.

And because of the local production of salt, the Gan family also controls the profits of salt, and is a well-known wealthy family.

Gan Ning was born in such a wealthy family, lived a luxurious life since he was a child, and his temperament was very rough.

Liu Bei also heard that Gan Ning had a typical heroic career in the local area for a period of time, often robbing and looting and killing others, with a lot of lives on his hands, and even officials who were killed by him, and the people of the time called him a Jinfan thief.

They are all called thieves, so you can imagine how arrogant this guy was back then.

is so lawless, but because the family is very powerful, no one pursues him, and when he is older and reads some books, he can still enter the official career, which can be described as smooth sailing.

It is conceivable how much influence the Gan clan of Linjiang in this Ba County has in the local area.

Liu Bei was quite displeased with Gan Ning's past behavior, but he still carefully observed Gan Ning for a while and found that he also had merit.

For example, he has a martial arts strategy, culture, good personal fighting ability, and he also has a lot of insights, when he talks about Sichuan and Shu and the world with Liu Bei, he can talk about the Tao.

Therefore, he was able to hold the position in Liu Bei's hussar general shogunate.

In addition, his personality has a bold side, he doesn't hide anything in his heart, he shows it directly, he says what he should say, and he is not hypocritical.

belongs to the kind of typical heroic villain who is very directly bad.,Doing bad things never hides.。

Moreover, although he acted in a rough style, he unexpectedly respected the scholars very much, showed great enthusiasm and respect for his fellow scholars, and respected Liu Bei even more.

Well, it's a rich kid with a bit of a brain, and he has a big problem with his behavior and style, but he knows who can and can't provoke.

How to use this kind of person is a very challenging thing for this kind of person's leadership, if you do it well, you can give full play to his ability, if you don't do it well, you will be counterattacked.

However, Liu Bei felt that Gan Ning couldn't even fight back against Sun 100,000, let alone himself, and he could also bully and bully Liu Zhang, a recognized weak master, but even this could not succeed, and he couldn't clean up the next Liu Biao and Huang Zu.

There are brains, but not much, capable, but not strong.

Lu Meng's evaluation of him is very good - fighting general.

So when Gan Ning made it clear that he wanted to participate in the affairs of the army, Liu Bei agreed with him that he had to restrain his temper.

"There are two worlds outside the army and inside the army, when you enter the army, you must abide by military regulations, I govern the army, military law is like a mountain, there is no room for slackness, if you violate military law, I don't care who you are, I will never spare you."

Gan Ning patted his chest and swore an oath.

"If I violate military law and don't need your punishment, I will give you an explanation!"

Liu Bei then awarded him the position of military marquis according to Gan Ning's test results, and then personally gave him a complete collection of military regulations, asking Gan Ning to go back and recite it, and he would do spot checks in the future.

Compared with Gan Ning, Zhang Ren, another Yizhou native that Liu Bei has an impression of, is much more low-key.

Perhaps because of his low background, he is relatively taciturn, but he has military strategy and force, and when he is tested by the army, he is considered to have the ability to adapt to positions above the military marquis.

Liu Bei's army is for newcomers, no matter what their origin and ability, the highest position is awarded to the military marquis, and then they need military merit to speak.

Moreover, after the establishment of this set of evaluation system, few people were considered to have the ability to hold positions above the rank of military marquis when they first joined the army, but Zhang Ren was considered to have such ability.

Liu Bei admired Zhang Ren very much, so he personally granted him the position of military marquis, allowed him to enter the army to lead the troops, and placed great expectations on him.

In order to gain Liu Bei's favor and obtain some possibility in the future, they did a lot of work on Liu Bei's recruitment and helped Liu Bei recruit troops smoothly.

Liu Bei hopes that the army he has built can become the backbone and soul of the strong army that will sweep the Quartet in the future, and he will not hesitate to invest heavily for this.

And the same recruitment work, Liu Hong's side is also quite smooth.

In order to fight against the He family and the Yuan family, Liu Hong not only selected talents within the eunuch group, but also took into account the combat effectiveness of this army, so he needed some professionals.

Therefore, the selection of officers in the new army is mainly based on people outside the system who are innocent or middle- and lower-level officers of the Central Army who have relatively simple social relations.

Of course, it would be best to have a eunuch background.

For example, Xiao Huangmen Jianshuo, who is a eunuch himself, and Feng Fang, who is the son-in-law of the eunuch Cao Jie.

After all, it was the Son of Heaven who recruited troops, and the soldiers of the Son of Heaven personally commanded by the Son of Heaven, in the face of that glory and the said preferential treatment, those who wanted to join the new army all grabbed their heads, and the quota of more than 30,000 people was quickly filled.

After the recruitment is full, it is the official formation of the army and training.

In order to show that this is the army of the Son of Heaven, Liu Hong let this army be stationed in Liu Hong's favorite West Garden, closest to Liu Hong himself, and provided them with good treatment, so this army is also called the West Garden Army.

After the official establishment of the Xiyuan Army, there was a great momentum in Luoyang, and every time it was organized, it would make a big battle, and it set off a wave of discussion inside and outside the city of Luoyang, and everyone knew about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and everyone was amazed by this.

What a strong army!

For Liu Hong, this is only the first step for him to demonstrate his monarchy and suppress his relatives and scholars.

In the second step, after discussing with Jian Shuo, Liu Hong ordered that Jian Shuo, the captain of the military academy of the Xiyuan Army, should be the general person in charge of the entire military armed forces in Luoyang, and the army under the command of General He Jin should also obey Jian Shuo's command.

This order is the order that really stabbed the hornet's nest in Luoyang City.

If the establishment of the Xiyuan Army only made everyone suspect that Liu Hong wanted to target He Jin, then the issuance of this order made everyone's speculation and suspicions come true.

The Son of Heaven really wants to target He Jin.

The dignified general actually had to listen to the orders of a eunuch before he could mobilize the army, although it was only in name, and it was not necessarily whether it could be implemented, but this kind of order was a clear slap in the face of He Jin, making He Jin uncomfortable, losing face, and unable to raise his head.

It can be called a biological weapon in the political arena.

Yuan Kui was not targeted by Ming Huanghuang for the time being, so it was better, but He Jin was really uncomfortable.

After receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, he privately chopped his desk into pieces, and was so angry that he almost killed someone at home, and he was full of resentment towards Liu Hong.

I am my wife's brother-in-law, your brother-in-law, loyal to your family and meritorious, how can you do this to me?

In addition to resentment, He Jin also has a strong uneasiness and fear in his heart, He Jin is very worried that Liu Hong is really preparing to abolish Chang Liyu like this.

Is there any other possibility for me than to want to abolish the growth and establish the young?

Abolish the elder and the young, set up Liu Xie's little mongrel, and then liquidate my He family, right?

Liu Hong, you are so ruthless!

Is it worthless in your eyes for so many years of hard work?

Do you like that dead woman that much?

He Jin's heart was filled with resentment, grievance, and fear.

At this juncture, Yuan Kui quickly met with He Jin about this possibility.
