In the New Year, Liu Jian spent the New Year with his soldiers in the camp, while Xu Huang and Wang Ai arrived before and after the New Year, so they also temporarily stayed in Luoyang to celebrate the festival with the soldiers of Hebei.

Life in the army is naturally harder, and the food they eat is not fine, and Liu Jian's food in the army is not particularly different from that of ordinary sergeants.

This kind of meal is not unbearable for Liu Jian, Liu Bei and others.

Although their brothers' status has become more and more noble over the years, they have never forgotten their original intentions, and have always been integrated with the soldiers in the camp, even when they were in Yecheng, as long as Liu Jian had nothing important to deal with, he would go to the camp to practice with the soldiers, and the food was the same cauldron and the sleeping was the same account.

That night, Wang Ai was accompanied by Liu Bei, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, while Xu Huang was accompanied by Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others.

In terms of official position and reputation, Xu Huang is naturally much inferior to these predecessors of Hebei fierce generals.

Especially Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, both of whom are official bodies of 2,000 stones.

Among the martial arts groups of the Han Dynasty, it can be said to be the top existence.

Xu Huang's lifelong ambition is to become a captain who can lead thousands of troops to dominate one side, and these people in front of him are undoubtedly his role models and idols.

In the face of these bigwigs in the industry, Xu Huang's attitude was very humble, and he toasted at them vigorously.

However, the four people in front of him are all heroes with bold nature and broad minds.

Especially before today's banquet, Liu Jian specially instructed the four of them to treat Xu Huang well and not to look down on each other because of their identity.

Be sure to convey the charm of your own army to Xu Huang.

Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong are both old men who have followed Liu Jian for many years, and the two of them know in their hearts that if Liu Jian generally makes this kind of order, it is basically the heart to subdue each other.

Since the lord has the heart to convince the other party, Zhang Fei and the others naturally can't lose face to the lord.

On this night, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang and others drank with Xu Huang and talked about the march and military deployment, chatting about the world and the military.

The behavior of Zhang Fei and others can be said to have moved Xu Huang badly.

After all, he is just a Qu Junhou, and he can be treated so favorably by many fierce generals on the other side.

This night, Xu Huang drank a lot.

After the feast, the officers and men of the three armies began to play games in the camp.

Liu Jian paid out of his own pocket, formulated reward rules, and arranged for soldiers to compete.

Those who win can be rewarded handsomely.

This is also to stimulate the enterprising spirit of the soldiers and make them not lazy in their daily exercises.

Liu Jian's most popular propaganda slogan for the soldiers on weekdays is.

It is gold that will always shine, and it is talent, and it will never be buried in the Hebei army.

There are a lot of entertainment programs in the Hebei army.

There are traditional wrestling, archery, horse riding, and even tug-of-war, frog jumping, two-person three-legged and other programs set up by Liu Jian.

When Liu Jian founded the army in Hebei, he once stipulated that as long as there was no war, a military parade and a sports meeting would be held every year.

These projects are the group events set up by Liu Jian in the games, in order to exercise the cooperation and coordination of the fighters, and enhance their sense of community.

Xu Huang looked at it in amazement.

"These games are all created by General Zuo?"

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said: "However, General Zuo has taken great pains for the soldiers of the three armies, in General Zuo's view, the soldiers are not tools for war, but also his people, the general often says that the soldiers of the army are defending the lives of the people of Hebei with their lives, and they use their bodies and flesh to form a wall to defend the peace of Hebei." ”

"Therefore, the treatment of the soldiers, as well as the worries of the soldiers, the general must solve them for them."

"The general gave the soldiers the best treatment, including the bereavement treatment after the soldiers died in battle, and the compensation for the soldiers after they were injured and disabled."

"If the local government office dares to deduct the pensions of the soldiers, once it is verified, it will be dealt with strictly, and the general has regulations, no matter what official position or what background he is, he will not be beheaded!"

Xu Huang was shocked when he heard this.

"General Zuo used such a heavy punishment?"

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "The most common thing the general says on weekdays is that there are no rules, there is no square circle, governing the country with human feelings is not a long-term way, and troubled times need to be re-enacted!" ”

"The Han Dynasty is not good at the law, and the law is not working, and it is no longer a matter of one or two days."

"Now, another major thing that General Zuo has done in Jizhou is to formulate the "Jike"."

Xu Huang didn't know why.

Zhang Fei said on the side: "Virtue and politics are not raised, and punishment is not suppressed, this is the taboo of the rulers. ”

"General Zuo said that in troubled times, we need to use heavy codes, first manage the strong, then manage the weak, and those who rely on the power of the family to 'dictate and self-indulge' must be strictly rectified, so as to support the peasants and develop production."

Huang Zhong added: "To govern the state and county, it is necessary to use both law and etiquette, prestige and virtue in parallel, and the discipline clarifies the law and persuades the good to dethrone the evil, that is, to take the law as the body, focus on fairness, use morality, and focus on education, so that the officials can govern the Qingqing and the people's hearts will be stable!" ”

"The Yellow Turban is chaotic with the concept of heaven making up for peace, and those who are in high positions want to calm the chaos, just by beating and killing, it is absolutely impossible, if we are in high positions, we can achieve strict laws, justice and selflessness, so that the people at the bottom have laws to rely on, in this way, the Yellow Turban Army will naturally disappear slowly, and there is no need for large-scale counterinsurgency."

Xu Huang's face showed a little surprise.

"Both of them are good at military affairs, how can they have such a high understanding of governing the people?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is what General Zuo often teaches us, although we are people who govern the army, but for the way of governing the people and the world, we must also have some involvement, only by understanding the operation of all things in this world, and understanding the suffering in the hearts of all the people in the world, can we better restrain the generals and understand what the true meaning of the generals is." ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was greatly impressed.

He arched his hand and said: "I have heard your names for a long time, I have never had the opportunity to see you before, and when I meet today, I know that you can be famous far and wide, and it is not a fluke to shock the northern Xinjiang, Huang is really admired!" ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Don't admire me, if you want to admire, you have to admire General Zuo." ”

Xu Huang turned his head to look at Liu Jian, who was mingling with the soldiers not far away, and the infinite yearning that unconsciously rose in his heart.

For a low-level officer like him, a person like Liu Jian is the real leader in his heart.

……

The year has passed, and the time has come for the new year.

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei has been bedridden since he fell down in the Deyang Hall last time and has been ill for a long time.

The sudden fall of the Son of Heaven made the courtiers extremely anxious.

It was not that they cared much about the life of the Son of Heaven, but in the eyes of the courtiers, the length of the Son of Heaven's life had little to do with them.

After all, the succession of previous eras has proven that the younger the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the more they can claim from the new emperor.

Therefore, if Liu Wei dies now, it would be a good thing for them to find a young person among the Liu clans in various places to support him.

As for King Chen Liu, don't think that he is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven and the son of the first emperor, so he can inherit the throne smoothly.

It would not have been possible without the permission of these courtiers.

When Emperor Huan went first, among the emperor's brothers, there were also candidates who were more suitable to succeed to the throne than Liu Hong, and their status was not worse than that of King Chen Liu, wasn't they also squeezed out?

King Chen Liuwang wants to inherit the throne, and without the consent of the central people, it is not orthodox.

That's what these people are going to do in their hearts anyway.

They don't care what Liu Jian's plans and actions are, in short, what they don't agree with just can't.

The reason why these courtiers are so nervous about Liu Zhuo's life and death is that Dong Zhuo's strength is too strong!

If there is a little emperor who has nothing to do, who knows how much power Dong Zhuo will control in the court in the name of this change of emperor?

Dong Zhuo's authority is enough, and if he encroaches on the power of the DPRK and China, he will squeeze out all these people.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven, who is already approaching adulthood, has a certain degree of autonomy in his actions.

At this time, the Son of Heaven cannot die.

Of course, the courtiers are now a little worried about the body of the Son of Heaven, and as far as Dong Zhuo is concerned, he does not want the Son of Heaven to fall at this time.

The plan to pacify Liangzhou and open up the Western Regions must be implemented.

If the Son of Heaven is at this time, he will keep filial piety for the Son of Heaven, and then he will choose a new Son of Heaven, and then after the new Son of Heaven ascends the throne, he will have to fight for power and profit again to determine the status of everyone in the court...... I don't know how many twists and turns I have to go through.

Dong Zhuo is old, he really can't afford to wait.

Really wait until all this is done, and then go to pacify Liangzhou...... Dong Zhuo was a little afraid to guarantee that he would not survive until that time.

But what Dong Zhuo and the courtiers didn't know was.

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei is now on the bed in the palace, and he has completely recovered his health.

Previously, several imperial doctors came to defend Liu, but they couldn't find out what illness Liu Bian had.

In the end, it can only be concluded that Liu Wei is depressed and sick.

I don't know how many tears Empress Dowager He shed during this time.

He made a lot of noise, cried and howled, but there was no way to save Liu Wei's condition.

As everyone knows, just when there was chaos outside, Liu Wei had already recovered his health.

Or that he wasn't sick at all.

On that day, he fell from the high platform, which was completely improvised and deliberate.

On this day, Liu Wei was in the palace, next to his bed, thinking about it and finally writing an edict.

Liu Jian was appointed as the general of Fuyuan, and did all kinds of extraterritorial affairs for the imperial court.
