I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 83

In the morning of this day, Cao Chun supervised Habayashi's right-riding exercise.

In all fairness, the Habayashi Cavaliers were able to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness when the Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty were generally weak, and the usual training was actually not easy, but Cao Chun was not satisfied.

Firstly, Liu Bian also asked him to improve the combat effectiveness of Yubayashiqi, and secondly, Cao Chun himself was eager to lead an elite team.

Think about the tiger and leopard cavalry in history, and you will know Cao Chun's rough standard for the elite.

As for the third thing, he deliberately wanted to create a rift with Zhao Wu, so as to weaken Huan Dian's influence in Yulin Youqi. After all, he can't be like Dong Cheng, who will dismiss all the incumbents as soon as he comes up. Changing everything all over again, so taking the opportunity to weaken Huan Dian's prestige is naturally the best way.

Sure enough, when Cao Chun put forward his strict and even harsh training requirements, Army Sima Zhao Wu and false Sima Zonglang raised objections without any surprise.

Facing the objections of the two, Cao Chun, as the right supervisor of Yubayashi, stood up to everyone's opinions: "I am the right supervisor of Yubayashi, and I will decide the affairs of the right cavalry battalion!"

Zhao Wu and Zong Lang were furious and went to find Huan Dian in private.

Huan Dian was also very helpless, after all, Cao Chun was invited by him, and he was also Shihou's confidant, so he could not be beaten or scolded, even if it was him, he had to confess well.

So he took the initiative to see Cao Chun and asked why.

Facing Huan Dian's inquiry, Cao Chun's performance was very in line with the young man's vigorous blood: "...His Highness was very happy to learn that Zhonglang would recommend me as the right prisoner of Yulin, and specially told me to wipe out the Yulin army. Over the past years, I have brought it back to its strength in its heyday, and I am invincible and invincible, I cannot disappoint His Highness's expectations!"

After hearing this, Huan Dian couldn't say that Cao Chun did something wrong, so he could only let Cao Chun strengthen the training of the right cavalry battalion.

Based on Cao Chun's requirements for tiger and leopard riders in history, the training in the past was not slack, but it was not a strict right cavalry battalion. Naturally, there were many complaints. In just a few days, dozens of people could not bear the hardship and privately complained to Zhao Wu. , Zong Lang complained.

Zhao Wu and Zong Lang informed Cao Chun of this matter, but Cao Chun insisted on his own opinion, and even issued an order: "Whoever neglects training will be severely punished!"

He did what he said, and the next day he ordered a battle against dozens of cavalry who couldn't stand the training.

At that time, the Yubayashi soldiers who were executing the sentence did not want to punish Pao Ze, and those soldiers who were punished took the lead in protesting. The scene was once ugly, and Cao Chun was so angry that he walked away.

At that time, not to mention the loud cheers from the Right Cavalry Battalion, even Zhao Wu, Zong Lang and even Huan Dian shook their heads and laughed secretly—they shook their heads because they had long guessed that Cao Chun’s high-intensity training would cause the officers and soldiers of the Right Cavalry Battalion to resist. The secret smile is to laugh at Cao Chun's youth and recklessness.

How did they know that Cao Chun, who seemed to be furious, was not angry at all. He just borrowed a thousand Henan troops from Liu Bian's second uncle, Henan Yin Hemiao, as planned, and immediately brought the Henan army back Arriving in front of Yubayashi Youqi, and immediately in front of the entire Yubayashi camp, he ordered the Henan soldiers to complete the punishment of the dozens of soldiers who were punished.

This incident made a lot of noise in the palace, but no one impeached.

Who to impeach?
Impeach Cao Chun?That was Shihou's confidant.

Impeach He Miao?That was Shihou's uncle, Empress He's second brother.

Even Dong Zhong and Dong Cheng did not impeach Cao Chun, they wished that Cao Chun would be more outrageous.

What's more, the two brothers really followed Qu Mu's suggestion and hypocritically expressed their support for Cao Chun, which confused many people.

Only He Jin was furious, and called He Miao and Huan Dian to the General's Mansion to reprimand them.

No wonder he was angry, after all, the Henan army belonged to his He family, and the Yubayashi right rider also belonged to his He family. Isn't this another drama of "fighting in the same room"?

Facing his elder brother's accusation, He Miao frowned and said: "Cao Chun is Shihou's confidant, he was ordered by Shihou to strengthen the training of the Yulin right cavalry, and the right cavalry did not follow Cao Chun's orders, Cao Chun begged me, can I not agree? "

In view of the fact that the two brothers had quarreled several times before, He Miao no longer blamed He Miao, but instead blamed Huan Dian. After all, Huan Dian was the one who recommended Cao Chun.

It's a pity that it's hard to get over the water. Now that Cao Chun has been recommended, He Jin and Huan Dian naturally can't dismiss Cao Chun, otherwise a certain Shihou will come forward to oppose them.

Under such circumstances, Huan Dian could only choose to support Cao Chun. After all, Cao Chun transferred the Henan Army into the Habayashi Right Cavalry to enforce the law. What he hit was the face of his Habayashi Zhonglang and the entire Habayashi Army. Cao Chunshang only allowed It was inconsiderate, but he couldn't just sit back and let this happen again.

So he approached Cao Chun and talked about it euphemistically.

Cao Chun naturally understood Huan Dian's intentions and explained: "I don't want to do this either, but the camp bullied me when I was young and refused to obey my general's orders, which is why I asked the Marquis of Jiyang to send Henan troops to help."

So at Cao Chun's request, Huan Dian was forced to come forward to support Cao Chun, gathered 900 to [-] people on Yulin Youqi, and severely reprimanded them, ordering everyone to strictly abide by Cao Chun's orders in the future.

This move was beyond the expectations of most of the battalion, and also made those protesting soldiers 'desperate'.

During this period, Cao Chun secretly asked Habayashiro, whom he had acquainted with, to release his relationship with Shihou. Only then did the knights of Habayashi Youqi know that this young Cao Youjian actually had such a backer.

Then what are you resisting?Endure it!
Forced by Cao Chun's backing, the knights of Habayashi Youqi finally put aside their contempt and neglect, and honestly followed Cao Chun's instructions for training every day.

In fact, Cao Chun did not propose an impossible training task. The hardship is a bit difficult, but it can still be completed by human beings.

In addition, Cao Chun can only be strict and selfless during his training and tenure, and he can also be approachable on weekdays. He even used his relationship with eunuchs to secretly provide some extra drinks and dishes to the right cavalry battalion who had been training hard. It only took half a month During that time, Cao Chun developed a group of fans in Yubayashi Youqi.

Huan Dian aside, the prestige of Zhao Wu and Zong Lang in the army has been completely surpassed by Cao Chun. Even if the two give orders to the soldiers, the soldiers still have to ask: "Is it the order of Cao Youjian?"

Faced with this situation, Zong Lang could still maintain his original intentions. After all, he was Zhao Wu's deputy at the beginning, but Zhao Wu's heart was a little unbalanced. After all, when Huan Dian recommended Cao Chun, he comforted him in private. It is said that Cao Chun was recommended only to fight against Dong Cheng, but Yulin Youqi is still under the command of Zhao Wu, but what about now?
Zhao Wu went to look for Huan Dian depressedly, but what could Huan Dian do?As the saying goes, it is easier to invite God than to send God away, so he can't dismiss Cao Chun anymore, right?
What's more, Cao Chun caused a series of disputes in the first few days when he first took office, but then he also performed very well, which was completely beyond Huan Dian's expectations. Naturally, Huan Dian would not dismiss Cao Chun, but just shared good words To appease, he sent Zhao Wu away.

Knowing this, Dong Cheng realized that the time had come, so he went to see Zhao Wu again.

In fact, during this period of time, Cao Cheng has been secretly provoking Habayashi Youqi and tripping Cao Chun. Unfortunately, he underestimated Cao Chun, who inherited the family business at the age of 14 and managed more than a hundred servants in the family. The noble son of the Cao family is now, and within half a month, the knights riding on the right of Habayashi, just like the servants and guests of his Cao family back then, were subdued by Cao Chun with a big stick in one hand and candied dates in the other.

After meeting Zhao Wu this time, Dong Chengzhong proposed to recruit him. At this time, Zhao Wu was completely disappointed in Huan Dian, and he did not hesitate to seek refuge with Dong Zhong.

The next day, Zhao Wu gathered a few knights who were still dissatisfied with Cao Chun in Yulin Youqi, and jointly resisted Cao Chun during training.

However, at this time, Cao Chun also gathered a group of fans in Yubayashi Youqi, and Cao Chun shouted at that time, "Are you waiting to rebel?" ', so that the rebels lost their morale to fight, and they dropped their weapons to express that they had no intention of rebelling.

So Cao Chun ordered people to arrest Zhao Wuyigan's mastermind, and planned to execute him for the following crimes of committing crimes and gathering crowds to cause trouble.

Huan Dian heard the news and came to stop him, but Cao Chun said to him in private: "Zhao Wu has secretly joined Dong Zhong!"

Huan Dian was shocked, and asked Cao Chun in astonishment, "Zihe, how do you know?"

How did you know?
Qu Mu told me that he asked Dong Zhong and Dong Cheng to do this... Of course, Cao Chun couldn't say that, but he just said firmly: "I know that there are Shi Hou, the Great General, Henan Yin and Zhong Lang behind me. With your support, Zhong Lang will not find it strange that Zhao Wu dares to gather a crowd to fight against me? I, Cao Chun, thought to myself that I did not do anything harmful to nature, so I would not cause them to share the same hatred."

After hearing this, Huan Dian suddenly became suspicious, and summoned people who gathered together with Zhao Wu to rebel, including the fake Sima Zonglang who did not participate, and was also questioned.

Naturally, I couldn't hold back this question. After all, Cao Chun has a powerful backing that ordinary people can't imagine. If Zhao Wu didn't reveal Dong Zhong to others, how could the other Quhou, the head of the village, and the leader of the team dare to follow him to make trouble? ?
Even the fake Sima Zonglang confessed to Zhao Wu, saying that Zhao Wu had mentioned to him about joining Hussar General Dong Zhong, but he did not agree.

Now that it is confirmed that Zhao Wu and others have indeed secretly turned to Dong Zhong, there is nothing to say, not to mention that when Cao Chun ordered the execution, Dong Cheng rushed over, and Zhao Wu actually shouted in front of everyone: "Dong Zuo Supervisor, save me! "

Is this not conclusive evidence?
"Execution!"

Following Cao Chun's order, a group of Yulin cavalry general Zhao Wu and his party of seven or eight officials who were deliberately causing trouble were all executed, and the rest of the soldiers who were provoked to make trouble were forgiven by Cao Chun.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Dong Cheng's face turned livid with anger. After all, he had already shouted "Keep people under the sword" before, but Cao Chun didn't expect him to lose face at all.

However, considering Qu Mu's persuasion at the beginning, Dong Cheng did not tear up his face with Cao Chun after all, but left a few cruel words without pain: "... I will kill General Yulin for no reason. Read your copy in front of His Majesty!"

"Please." Cao Chun sneered back: "If you can do it."

While ridiculing, he secretly felt that it was funny: Not to mention that the favored eunuch Zhang Rang is from our side, even your Dong Zhong and Dong Cheng's advisers, Shangshu Changshi Qumu, are also from our side. What are you fighting with me?

From the side, Huan Dian saw that Cao Chun was so strong, he nodded secretly, but he didn't know that Cao Chun and him were not on the same side at all.

Since then, although there have been several changes, Cao Chun, relying on his solid and powerful backing, as well as his personal charm of being strict when he was in office, and usually amiable, quickly mastered Habayashi Youqi, and even, Habayashi The strength of the right cavalry has also increased significantly under his strict supervision.

On the contrary, Habayashi Zuoqi under the leadership of Dong Cheng took a longer time to restore the previous order after Dong Cheng promoted a group of confidants.

Liu Bian saw all this and was very satisfied with Cao Chun's performance during this period.

And on this day, he saw the memorial of Wang Fen, the new governor of Jizhou, which talked about the restoration of the old house that Empress Dowager Dong and Emperor Ling lived in Hejian County after it was destroyed in the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. progress.

Even Liu Biandang realized that Wang Fen had already started to dethrone Lingdi.

And what should he do?
Go with the flow?

Or block?

With this memorial in his arms, Liu Bian went to Qingliang Hall with complicated emotions.
