Wei Ni

The good thing Ding Mi mentioned was something Huan Yu asked him to tell on his behalf.

Well, Huan Yu has been in Luoyang, the capital, for more than ten days, but he has always lived in his own mansion in the capital.

First of all, he has been busy recently with the reception and delivery of his family in the capital, and represents the marriage process between the Huan family and Xia Houheng, etc., and is full of trivial matters.

Another reason is that he is different from Ding Mi.

Compared with the declining Ding family, the Huan family was still highly regarded by the Emperor Wei.

For example, Huan Fan had been in office and led the army a long time ago. Not to mention that he was moved to the left as the governor of Yanzhou, but it was still foreseeable that he would become a public minister in the future. Therefore, although Huan Yu also claimed to be Xia Houhui's adviser, he was actually just trying to keep the two families close and get what each wanted.

Huan Yu stayed with Xia Houhui, increasing his knowledge and ushering in a higher starting point for his future official career. Xia Houhui, on the other hand, could temporarily use his intelligence and strength, as well as some human connections with the Huan family.

No, Huan Yu had only arrived in Luoyang a few days ago, and after he had widely publicized his sister's marriage to Xia Houhe, some people came to him and used him as a bridge to ask for Xiahou's favor.

He is a native of Xiang County, Qiao County, and is the grandson of Lou Yi. Lou Zhi is Lou Zizheng.

Lou Yi was originally Cao Cao's Sima. He followed Cao Cao when he first started to raise troops. He was brave and brave. Cao Cao's army was defeated in the Battle of Puyang. Cao Cao fell off his horse when he broke through. Lai Lou Yi helped him get on his horse and escaped.

It can be regarded as a savior in times of crisis.

But he was very unlucky.

Not long after, he died in the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu for Yanzhou.

At that time, his son was young, and Cao Cao gave him a salary to support him. He grew up, was unworthy, and was imprisoned. Although he was spared due to his father's honor, he missed the period of rapid development of Cao Wei and ended up dying in despair, leaving nothing to his descendants.

After Lou Zhi was built, some of his ancestors were brave enough to join the army.

An officer inspected his background and found out that he was a descendant of the Wei family and his ancestors had meritorious service. He was promoted to Luoyang Central Army and given the post of Du Bo, supervising hundreds of people.

But from the age of twenty to twenty-five, he was still the governor of a hundred people.

It's not that he has been wasting his time and making no achievements, but that the family fortune left by his father and ancestors was too thin.

The capital is Luoyang, so it is not easy to live there.

After serving in the Chinese Army, he took his wife and children to live in Luoyang, and his life was quite embarrassing.

Under Jiang Ji's system of selecting military attaches, "If you want a tooth, you should get a thousand horses; if you have a superintendent of 500, you will get 500 horses." Naturally, there is no possibility of promotion.

Unwilling to be mediocre, he was previously selected among the 20,000 cavalry selected by Cao Rui to be stationed in Yongliang. However, he caught up with the "Three Thousand First Class" and the "Thousand Miles to Fight", and spent several years in Yongliang in vain.

Hey~
It's quite pitiful that Qiao Peiyuan has gotten so mixed up since then.

However, there is nothing we can do.

How could it be that his grandfather was not as heroic as Dian Wei when he died in the battle, and that his father had spent all his money on incense and love, and that his family was not rich and his fortune was bad?

But now he sees a glimmer of light.

After he returned to Luoyang, he was selected into the Zhenyue Camp for his bravery and was still appointed as the Supervisor of Hundreds of People, and he was still a "trial".

Because Xia Houhui, the general of the Zhenyue Camp who is the leader of the camp, has not officially arrived yet, all the official positions of generals and assistants in the Zhenyue Camp are temporarily appointed to restrain the soldiers on their behalf.

This is where his light shines.

Xia Houhui is a traitor, and we have a close friendship with him!
No matter how bad it is, you won't ignore his efforts just because he can't produce "five hundred pieces of silk", right?

However, he did not dare to visit Xia Houhui directly.

Putting aside the question of whether he could be received or not, simply because of the suspicion of "favoritism", his arrival would be counterproductive.

But he is already thirty-one years old, half-way through his life, and he doesn’t want to miss the opportunity. After he learned that Huan Yu was in the capital and that his sister would be Xia Houhe's wife, he thought about it and decided to submit a letter to Huan Mansion.

I hope Huan Yu will convey his name and request to Xiahou Hui for the sake of Longkang's connection with Xiang County.

And what he asked for was not too much.

I just hope that after Xia Houhui takes office, when selecting the Thousand-man Governor and the Five-hundred-man Governor, he will be fair and impartial for the sake of his friendship with Sangzi and his pity for his many years of military service.

"Zhiquan, this is a letter from Huan Wenhua."

Ding Mi, who was just relaying the story, handed Lou Zhi's letter to Xia Houhui and said with emotion, "When Emperor Wu started his business, we and the people from Qiao Peixiang followed their orders, but now there are Yuancong's descendants who have fallen like this! What a shame! After taking office, if you feel that he can be used, you can take care of him a little and promote him at a young age, which will definitely gain his strength, which is also a good thing for Zhiquan."

Xia Houhui knew that Ding Mi's sentiments were brought into his family, so he felt a sense of sympathy.

So he didn't say anything more. He took the letter and read it briefly before throwing it into the brazier. "Yan Jing is relieved. If this is really the case, I will not allow Yuan Cong and Sang Zi of the Wei family to record their old contributions. Let's go, use Mu Shi." go."

"it is good."

Ding Mi responded, stood up and followed.

But before he walked out of the door of the study, Xia Houhui stopped again, looked back and called him, "Yan Jing, I didn't betray you, it's just me now."

"Zhi Quan is not like this, I know it."

It also made Ding Mi smile brightly, interrupting his words directly and jokingly saying, "I just returned to the capital, socializing and having banquets, enjoying myself. Childish Quan, please don't be jealous and rush to add documents to me." body."

Indeed, he knew. Because of the special nature of Xiahou Hui's official position, although it was not possible to recruit chief officials and other staff like those in Kaifu, there were still one Sima and one Zhonglang each as auxiliary officers.

Among them, Sima, with a rank of Qianshi, is in charge of military affairs, which is equivalent to a deputy position. If Xia Houhui is not in the camp, Sima is the person in charge of military affairs on his behalf; while Sima, a rank of Zhonglang, with a rank of 600, is in charge of staff affairs, which is almost like joining the army.

But these two subordinate officials were directly appointed by the court.

If there is a vacancy, Xia Houhui only has the right to vote and does not have the right to directly appoint.

As for the candidates for each battalion's thousand-man governor and five-hundred-man governor, they were selected by the Central Guards. If Xiahou Hui was dissatisfied, he could waive the replacement, but he also had no direct appointment power.

It can be regarded as the temple's usual practice of restricting military power.

However, under the agreement, Xiahou Hui still had a lot of power. For example, when he commended or dismissed generals, the temple would usually not deny him.

For the sake of combat strength and cohesion, we want the soldiers and generals to work together as one.

Now Xia Houhui's apologetic words were explaining to Ding Mi that although he now had the right to express his opinions, he could not use it on the imprisoned Ding Mi.

"Haha~"

Xia Houhui laughed with relief and continued to walk out, switching to chatting, "Yi Yanjing, who will be chosen by the temple to be our Sima and Zhonglang?"

"In order to avoid the constraints of young power, we should not recruit Qiao Pei, an old friend or a veteran general in the army."

Ding Mi must have thought about this problem. He didn't hesitate and blurted out, "However, based on the immature character's unstable temperament, the emperor should choose an older person to be the Sima. As for being a lieutenant, he is just a counselor. It’s not very important, maybe I can let Zhiquan ask for it myself.”

"So, does Yan Jing think Wei Yangyuan is worthy of being the middle man?"

"Inappropriate. Zhiquan has just taken charge of the army. He cannot be given the position to Bai Shen, so as not to give others false evidence. If you want to experience Yang Yuan, just entrust Zhiquan with a sword and pen official to carry him with you."

"okay."

Mid-spring February.

Xia Houhui, who officially received the talisman, took up the post of general guard.

The security department that had finished selecting soldiers no longer shared the same camp with the Yueqi captain and guerrilla generals. Instead, they moved to the Xuanwu Field in the north of Luoyang City and to the right of Daxia Gate to garrison troops.

This is the place where Qin Lang presented his prisoners before.

Because of the need to go north to guard Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, a group of soldiers and horses are stationed here all year round. However, now that the defense department has moved here, the original soldiers and horses have been forced to move elsewhere.

It's like robbing someone else's camp.

However, Xia Houhui felt that this should be because Emperor Cao Rui often went to Beimang Mountain Manor to have fun, and occasionally he could enter the military camp to watch the results of martial arts performances.

After all, no one in the Wei state was more eager to conquer Gongsun Liaodong than Cao Rui.

With this understanding, when he was about to approach the military camp, he specially summoned Lu Fan, his military governor, and asked him to warn the young man in the military camp again.

Lead by example.

If all his troops were in disarray, he would not be able to turn the Guards Department into an elite force that would satisfy the emperor.

This time, in addition to the forty pieces Lu Fan brought with him, there were also Ding Mi, Huan Yu and Wei Shu who came with him to take office. They came out in full force and planned to stay in the barracks throughout February.

After a while, I arrived a hundred steps away from the camp.

The soldiers on duty on the low wall of the camp also spotted their group and signaled them with a short horn blast that they should not come any closer. After a series of noises, the closed camp door opened a small crack, and an armored man Jiang Shu walked over quickly with two or three pawns.

That general's rate is quite majestic.

Looking from a distance, one can see that he is more than eight feet long, with broad shoulders and a round waist. He is walking with a sword and looks majestic and majestic.

When I got closer, I saw that he should be around thirty years old, with high cheekbones, yellow and black skin, a pair of straight eyes, a heavy nose and a wide mouth, and a beard like a halberd. No matter who saw him, he couldn't help but praise him. This is what men of my generation should do.”

As soon as he arrived, he bowed his head slightly and saluted Xia Houhui, and asked angrily, "I am here to serve General Xu Yi, may I ask if I am the general protecting you?"

It turns out to be Xu Yi~
This majesty and majesty alone does not live up to his father's nickname of "Tiger Fool".

"Well, it's me."

With a sigh in his heart, Xia Houhui nodded, and then asked, "General Xu arrived at the camp first, why did he personally guard the camp gate now?"

"The last general came to the camp to supervise the ceremony first and met General Xiahou."

First he bowed respectfully, and then Xu Yi replied, "The defense department has been newly built, and the generals and Sima have not yet taken up their posts, so there is an edict to temporarily divide the responsibilities, so that the generals will guard the camp gates, and the generals will be restrained by the generals. Soldiers of Zhenyue Camp."

After saying that, without waiting for Xia Houhui to ask further questions, he waved his hand to the soldiers beside him to ask the soldiers on duty to open the camp door. Then he extended his hand sideways and said, "Welcome the general back to the camp, and we will clear the way for the general in the end."

"It's like a father."

Nodding lightly, Xia Houhui praised him before striding forward.

At this time, drums and horns were shouting in the camp, and shouts of "General return to camp" were occasionally heard. (End of chapter)
