Liu Jian's idea is simple.

For these princes and kings, if they can send troops to fight, after making meritorious contributions, even if their soldiers and horses cannot be recognized by the imperial court, then in terms of meritorious service, the imperial court will inevitably give their soldiers and horses an official statement, and at that time, it will be very natural for the local county to give them money and grain to raise the soldiers.

This is really a good way out for the princes and kings.

But this rhetoric is actually from Liu Jian's own point of view, which is somewhat like painting a big pie.

But no matter how big the bread is, it is also a cake, and once it becomes true, it will really be inexhaustible for all the princes and kings to enjoy.

It won't be long before it works, once the world is in turmoil, the local ministers and guards will start to recruit soldiers and generals privately, and each of them will organize their own private soldiers for their own use.

At that time, it doesn't matter what kind of army is nominally not part of the state, even if it is a bandit, as long as it can fight, it will be a usable army.

But after all, it was after the chaos in the world, and for now, the orthodox subordination of a soldier and horse is still very important, especially in the embarrassing position of the princes and kings.

Liu Jian was a threat and a big stick and a jujube, and soon made the princes and kings realize that if their army wanted to last long, they had to be bound to Liu Jian.

And this is also a good thing for Liu Jian.

The army of the princes and kings is bound to him, but in the eyes of the imperial court, Liu Jian is still an obedient herd guard with only 20,000 horses, and the army of the princes and kings is still their own army, which has nothing to do with Liu Jian, and he, the state pastor, will not be suspected of supporting the army and self-respecting in the short term.

In the end, all the princes and kings agreed.

In front of them, it seems that there is only this choice to follow Liu Jian all the way.

Seeing that the princes and kings agreed, Liu Jian immediately proposed the next step for the pastoral office to establish a docking jurisdiction with the armies of the princes and kings.

Liu Jian's proposal was very simple, that is, the military attache establishment of more than 600 stone in the army of the princes and kings would be all under the pastoral administration, and Liu Jian's commander Xu Rong would manage it in a unified manner.

Although these military attaches will still train troops for the princes and kings in the local area from now on, their identity is equivalent to that of the pastoral office going out, which is also justified for the princes and kings' armies to participate in the war in Jiyou in the future.

Of course, this is not to say that the princes and kings can't manage them, after all, they still train the princes and kings, and the princes and kings still have the authority to manage them.

However, the command authority in time of war is uniformly deployed by the pastoral office.

The boundaries are not clear, and they can even be said to be very vague, but this is what Liu Jian wants.

After all, the boundaries are blurred, so that the princes and kings will not feel that their rights and interests have been violated.

The princes and kings will not feel that their rights and interests have been violated, so Liu Jian can better infringe on their rights and interests.

Since everyone has the right to govern, who is in charge in the end understands who this army really belongs to.

When the time comes, it will be hard power to fight.

Liu Jian did not merge the soldiers and horses of all the princes and kings, but only let Xu Rong manage the six hundred stone military attachés under them as a captain, which did not sound a big deal to the five princes and kings.

On the contrary, these kings felt guilty because of their selfishness just now.

So, the matter was settled.

Liu Jian ordered Xu Rong to be recruited and asked to meet with the princes and kings.

After meeting, Liu Jian immediately said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this Xu Rong and Xu Duwei will be responsible for managing military attaches of more than 600 stones in the future. ”

"Captain Xu, I haven't seen you kings yet."

Xu Rong had already received Liu Jian's guidance in advance.

He immediately respectfully saluted the five people one by one: "Xu Rong has seen five kings!" ”

Xu Rong's attitude is very respectful, the deacon is also in place, and his hearty character is also shown between his words.

This made the princes and kings very satisfied.

In any case, at least the lieutenant arranged by Liu Jian to connect with the vassal states did not put his identity above the princes and kings.

These princes and kings have not been able to discern Liu Jian's deep-seated thoughts in a short period of time.

They will only look at the present.

As long as this lieutenant, who manages the six hundred stone military attachés of the princes' royal armies, respects them enough, this is enough in the eyes of the princes and kings.

……

Just when Liu Jian was trying to expand his troops in Jizhou, a major event happened in the capital.

That is, the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo wanted to secretly murder the general He Jin, but because the news leaked, he was killed by He Jin.

After Jian Shuo was killed, the supreme ruler of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden died, and all the forbidden soldiers and horses were completely included in He Jin's hands.

It's just that it's strange how to think about it.

Jian Shuo is good, why did he suddenly have the idea of murdering He Jin?

It stands to reason that although He Jin is in charge of all the armies in the capital and is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, in the final analysis, it is the emperor's own uncle.

On the contrary, the eunuchs should have tried everything they could to pull He Jin to their side, so why did they do it to him?

Don't the eunuchs know that at this moment, once He Jin dies, the power of the forbidden army in Beijing will be easier to be controlled by the public secretary group?

But in fact, anyone who knows something in their hearts knows that there must be something greasy in this.

If there is no accident, the contradiction between Jian Shuo and He Jin was provoked and used by people with intentions.

……

Liangzhou, Jincheng County.

"What a wrongful death." Dong Zhuo sighed while saying to Dong Min and Niu Fu: "The news in Beijing, how did Jian Shuo murder He Jin?" ”

Niu Fu said: "It is said that Jian Shuo wanted to support Liu Xie, the son of the first emperor, and secretly dispatched troops, but was later denounced by Sima Panyin, but was killed by He Jin." ”

"The pig slaughterer is really stupid!" Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly: "It's obviously a plan to kill people with a knife, then Pan Yin must have been bribed by the ministers headed by the Yuan family, He Jin killed Jian Shuo, between the eunuch and He Jin, there is no room for relaxation, and now the stupid fool surnamed He is completely called to the side of the scholars." ”

Dong Min said: "Brother, at this time, what should we do?" ”

"We must hurry to Beijing!" Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "Now the forbidden army is all under the control of He Jin and the schools of Xiyuan, if the real scholars get rid of the eunuchs, I am afraid that the army in the hands of the old man will be useless!" ”

Dong Min said: "It's just that the imperial court has not called for it, isn't it a disobedient move for us to turn our troops eastward like this?" ”

"No, the old man has already written to the old dog of the Yuan family." The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth lightly hung up a smile: "Don't worry, if the old dog of the Yuan family sees the old man's letter, he will definitely let the old man enter Beijing, don't look at the victory of He Jin and the ministers, but the old man knows that the old dog of the Yuan family, for so many years, he and the old man have exactly the same mind!" He will not give up such a great opportunity. ”
