I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 130 Troop Distribution

The General's Mansion.

Yuan Shao asked in shock: "The general really told the prince to remove Jian Shuo and Zhao Yan?"

Yuan Shao knew that the prince did not agree without asking.

At first, Yuan Shao's uncle and nephew had some doubts that what the prince did was due to Lu Zhi or the eunuch... or even what the emperor had taught him. However, as time went by, they had already given up this idea and did not dare to regard the prince as a human being. An ordinary child.

At this time, there were many people who could become prodigies at the age of twelve or thirteen. Even aside from the fact that there was artificial manipulation, the existence of child prodigies was not too rare.

In Yuan Shao's mind, it was strange that the prince was willing to follow He Jin's advice to deal with the eunuch.

"Aren't the generals worried that the eunuchs in the palace will be on guard if they find out?"

He Jin leaned on Ping Ji beside him and said without any pressure: "I avoided the eunuchs when I came to talk to the prince later. How could they know?"

Yuan Shao continued to persuade: "The reason why Dou Wu wanted to kill the eunuch but was killed by the eunuch instead was because his words leaked and gave the eunuch a chance..."

"Don't worry Benchu, could Bian'er harm me?"

Listening to He Jin continue to say such words - Yuan Shao sighed in his heart.

Although He Jin was willing to listen to him and the wise advice recommended by him most of the time, sometimes he would be stubborn and stubborn.

Yuan Shao saw that he could not persuade him, so he planned to entrust this important task to other talented people in the general's mansion.

"General, at this critical moment, it is not appropriate for Shao to leave the fifth battalion of the Northern Army for too long."

"Go away from the beginning!"

After bidding farewell to He Jin, before Yuan Shao left the general's palace, he saw an acquaintance, the censor Zheng Tai who had been dismissed for offending the emperor and the prince.

He hurriedly greeted him: "Gongye, please stay..."

After communicating with Zheng Tai, Yuan Shao left the General's Mansion, but did not immediately return to the Northern Army's Tunqi camp where he was supposed to be on duty as the Tunqi Colonel. Instead, he led his men on horseback through two lanes. , here, a carriage is waiting for him.

"Uncle, Shao has arrived."

They need to share the information they receive in a timely manner.

……

"This is what happened. Later, the general also mentioned to me that Lieutenant Jian Shuo of the Military Academy and Lieutenant Zhao Yan of the City Gate were not capable enough to perform their duties, and they had committed illegal and corrupt acts while in office."

Liu Bian first told Emperor Ling about his response after discussing with the ministers.

He didn't hide it for He Jin this time. He Jin was too impatient. Now that Emperor Ling was only temporarily fainted, he wanted to attack the eunuch. Then he would do it later. Wouldn't it soon lead to attracting foreign troops to Beijing?

Liu Bian's words did not avoid Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, which frightened the two people.

Especially Zhao Zhong, who quickly defended his younger brother Zhao Yan: "My younger brother Yan has always behaved himself. Whenever something happens, he will take the lead and never dare to slack off..."

Queen He on the side heard what was going on and slowly approached, but on the other side was Zhao Zhong, whom she trusted very much, and the person who brought up the matter was Liu Bian. She didn't know what to do for a while.

Empress Dowager Dong also listened intently from the other side. Emperor Ling ignored Zhao Zhong's nonsense and asked Liu Bian directly: "How do you think Bian'er should deal with it?"

"This is just a one-sided statement by the general and cannot be trusted."

After hearing this, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were slightly relieved, but in their hearts, they became more and more wary of He Jin.

Emperor Ling turned his body slightly on the couch. Liu Bian and Zhang Rang quickly helped him to put his back on the ground higher and cover him with quilt.

It has only been a few days since the autumnal equinox, and Emperor Ling is already obviously afraid of the cold.

"He Jinzhi put it aside in advance. The measures mentioned above are all the thoughts of the minister's relatives. What are your thoughts, Bian'er?"

Liu Bian was confused at first: "Of course we should stabilize the inside and outside of the palace, and then wait for my father to wake up?"

But he had already told Emperor Ling about this before?

He didn't react until he said the words. I'm afraid it wasn't what Emperor Ling really wanted to ask.

He said: "As long as the stability of Luoyang's army can be ensured, there will be no chaos around Luoyang. With the fifth battalion of the Northern Army and the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, the ordinary local soldiers will not pose a threat."

Local county soldiers lack training. Under normal circumstances, an adult male will become a county soldier at the age of twenty-two and serve as a county soldier for up to three years. These three years are not consecutive. According to the original system Design, there must be an interval of two years to ensure the survival of the family.

The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers selected in this way can be imagined.

Therefore, in history, the Kwantung princes had impressive results when facing Dong Zhuo, who had already gathered the Central Army. In addition to the different hearts and minds, the gap in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers cannot be ignored. Among them, Sun Jian, the most fierce, brought his veterans who had led the Jingnan rebellion. Later, Sun Jian led the Yuzhou soldiers, and then there was a big defeat.

Emperor Ling grabbed Liu Bian's hand and acknowledged, "Not bad, keep talking."

"Currently, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou all have heavy troops in the border areas. Liangzhou and Youzhou are all far away, but Bingzhou is the closest to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo, the general who defeated Liao in Bingzhou, has the most troops and is on good terms with the Huns. The governor of Bingzhou Although Gongsun Zan is a brave general, he has only been in office for three or four months in Bingzhou, so he may not be enough to check Dong Zhuo."

The situation of the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou was very chaotic. Although the imperial court rejected the request of the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court to continue to move southward, the split of the Southern Xiongnu was already inevitable. Facing the threat from Xianbei, the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court could only hold on to Dong Zhuo, the general who conquered Liao. Don’t let go of your thighs.

Gongsun Zan was also transferred to the governor of Bingzhou by Liu Bian after Xianbei returned outside the Great Wall because of his interception of the Wuhuan envoy. Ding Principle became the governor of Youbeiping with two thousand stones, replacing Gongsun Zan in commanding the troops to assist General You and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. Defend the Xianbei invaders.

As the climate in the north becomes increasingly cold and harsh, unless the Xianbei population is reduced on a large scale, they will not give up going south to invade the invaders in order to survive. Therefore, the local military strength of Bingzhou Youzhou must be preserved.

"Beyond the border counties, it is definitely Jingzhao. Huangfu Song is stationed at Jingzhao Huya Camp to respond to Liangzhou. The three auxiliary soldiers and horses can all give orders." Although Liu Bian trusted Huangfu Song, he knew that Huangfu Song was a man who could resolutely execute the orders of the imperial court. The person who issued the edict still mentioned him.

After hearing this, Emperor Ling commented: "I thought you wouldn't consider Huangfu Song... Although Huangfu Song hasn't done anything domineering in the past, he still has to be on guard. How are you going to deal with it?"

Liu Bian replied: "Hedong is bordered by the Xihe River in the northeast and Sanfu in the west, which is very important. Gai Xun, the governor of Hedong, is deeply trusted by his father and can pass orders to him."

For Liu Bian, the most important thing to guard against was Dong Zhuo. Once Dong Zhuo made any uneasy move, he would seize the opportunity without hesitation.

The premise of all this is that Luoyang's Central Army is under control.

Emperor Ling's hand was slightly stronger: "The local military strength will be a matter later. What are Luoyang Qian going to do? He Jin..."

Liu Bian stretched out his other hand to cover Ling Emperor's palm. He was really confused about He Jin's attitude.
