The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 70 The Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan Established in Advance
"All of you who have exterminated the Yellow Turban bandits for my big man are all meritorious ministers for my big man."

No one thought that the first time Emperor Hanling thought about going to court after his illness was to summon Wei Tao and other officials who had made great contributions to the extermination of the Yellow Turbans.

Moreover, the moment Emperor Han Ling opened his mouth, people noticed that he attached great importance to everyone.

"Since you have meritorious service, I should reward you for your meritorious service."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty didn't immediately state the rewards, just these words alone showed that he really valued everyone, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't help but beam with joy at this time.

However, Wei Tao took the opportunity of thanking him and looked up, only to find that Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

And just looking at the emaciated body of Emperor Han Ling, and thinking about the endless rumors of Emperor Han Ling drinking and having fun in the market, Wei Tao can understand that the emperor may have been hollowed out by wine and sex, this is the real thing. It is unbearable to be penetrated by a little deficiency and cold.

At this time, if it was according to the rules, everyone should retreat to the sides after thanking each other and wait for the court to disperse.

After all, even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were serving in the military at this time, and the princes of the court were still there, it was not the turn of the people to speak.

But Han Lingdi hurriedly called people back, obviously not just for this reason, he spoke again without waiting for everyone to retreat to the sides.

"Qing and others are all ministers of the humerus. I know it. Now that Luoyang is empty, there are so many riots and bandits. If we don't rectify it, won't the Yellow Turban bandits shake the foundation of my man? If we always take precautions, we will be punished by the Yellow Turbans." Gangster joke."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong's complexion was very ugly, and a trace of resentment floated on his pale face.

If you think about it, it would be nothing more than the Yellow Turban riots. There are such desperadoes in every dynasty.

However, Luoyang, the central capital of the entire Han Dynasty, was forcibly attacked and killed by a group of Yellow Turban thugs, although it was finally put down.

But not to mention how many people were killed and injured, and how much money was damaged, this incident alone is enough to discredit Emperor Han Ling, the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.

I don't know how it will be described in the history books in the future. How can this not make Liu Hong very angry?

"I want to establish the Xiyuan school lieutenant to defend the important areas of the capital. Qing and others are all important ministers of mine. They have personally shot arrows and wiped out the Yellow Turban bandits. It is to share my worries."

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao were all overjoyed when they heard what Emperor Han Ling said.

Only Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then secretly startled.

The captain of Xiyuan, the captain of Xiyuan known to Wei Tao is also the eighth captain of Xiyuan, of which Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have served.

But according to Wei Tao's memory, the establishment of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan in history was set up by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in order to divide the rights of General Bo He Jin. .

Of course, Liu Hong's idea has not yet been achieved in history. After Liu Hong's death, He Jin still supported his sister Liu Bian, the son of Empress He, as emperor by virtue of his control of Luoyang.

However, this also shows that the eighth school lieutenant of Xiyuan has so much power that even He Jin has to be a little bit afraid.

But in any case, this time should not be the time when the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan was established!

More importantly, Yuan Shu was not among the eight captains of Xiyuan.

After all, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family had great influence. Even Liu Hong, the emperor, had to be wary of the Yuan family.

But this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty obviously didn't care about these things anymore, and directly summoned Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to entrust them with important tasks.

In this way, it is clear that history has changed again.

But at this time, it was at the court meeting, Wei Tao didn't dare to feel anything strange.

Fortunately, when I got such news suddenly, it is right for a young man to be incapable of expressing his emotions and anger. Therefore, although Wei Tao's expression was a little strange, it was normal in everyone's eyes.

After all, Liu Hong has already stated that he wants to reuse Wei Tao and others.

"This is a big matter, and it will take a long time to build an army. You can't be negligent. I'm making an order now!"

As expected, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, had already made up his mind, and he did not ask the officials for their suggestions, but directly lowered his will.

"Decree: Order Jian Shuo to be a lieutenant in the upper army, and to control the troops. Yuan Shao is a lieutenant in the middle army, in charge of commanding soldiers and horses. Cao Cao is a lieutenant in the lower army, in charge of handling code matters. Yuan Shu is a lieutenant in the Dian army, in charge of military law."

"promise!"

Emperor Ling of Han appointed four school lieutenants in one breath. Except Jian Shuo, who was the eunuch of Huangmen and Liu Hong's own person, the other three were all people who made great achievements this time.

Wei Tao couldn't help raising his brows slightly, and he understood that these three people are all princes in the future.

Even Yuan Shu, who is the most incompetent and the most narrow-minded among them, is actually quite capable.

"Let Wei Tao and Xia Mou be the left and right captains respectively, and Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Rong respectively be the left and right assistant captains to assist in the affairs. Each captain can lead a soldier, but any recruitment is not allowed to be rejected by each army! "

Xia Mou and Zhao Rong are not senior generals in the army, but one is an admonishing doctor and the other is a Guanglu doctor. They are both important officials of the court with extraordinary qualifications, so they should be in this position.

Hanling Emperor Liu Hong had just recovered from his illness, and he felt tired after talking for a few minutes, but Liu Hong just took a short breath and continued talking.

"You are all my confidants and ministers of the humerus, and you still hope to do your best for the king's affairs. Don't let me be disappointed in you."

"I will obey your orders!"

At this time, Wei Tao and others hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.

In this way, the eight school lieutenants of Xiyuan were established. The order of the eight school lieutenants is: Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Wei Tao, Xia Mou, Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Rong.

The princes of the imperial court may disagree, but they dare not speak out when Luoyang is in turmoil not long ago.

What's more, apart from Jian Shuo, the Eighth School Captain of Xiyuan, who is the eunuch of Huangmen, the rest are all from aristocratic families or court ministers. Who would speak at this time?
The reason why Hanling Emperor Liu Hong came to court at this time was entirely for this matter. Now that the matter of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan is certain, Liu Hong just feels extremely sleepy.

After all, he had just recovered from his illness. Fortunately, although there were many things, many courtiers were still interested, but they didn't come to disturb Liu Hong with these things, and the Lingchaohui soon dispersed.

After the court meeting, the princes of the court naturally went their separate ways. Although the eight captains of Xiyuan seemed to be quite powerful, the princes of the court would not lose their sense of propriety because of this, let alone go forward to curry favor.

Since several people have equivalent official positions, except for Jian Shuo, the others naturally came together.

"Humph!"

But before anyone could speak, Yuan Shu snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty appointed me as a lieutenant of the Dian Army to be in charge of military law. Don't act against orders, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, all the people who wanted to speak fell silent, and they were even slightly cold before.

Although Yuan Shu said this to everyone, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Shao alone.

Although Yuan Shao is the eldest son, he is a concubine, and Yuan Shu is a direct descendant, so in the Yuan family, the two are fighting openly and secretly.

However, compared to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao's ability is obviously stronger, and there is even a faint tendency to completely suppress Yuan Shu.

This time, Yuan Shao was a lieutenant of the Chinese Army, but Yuan Shu was only a lieutenant of the Dian Army in the establishment of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan.
Just now it was a meeting in court, Yuan Shu didn't dare to make a fuss.

Now that the court meeting is over, Yuan Shu is the first to attack, and it seems that the target is directed at Yuan Shao.

"Military law concerns the entire army. If someone disrespects military law, the commander will also be held accountable. I will definitely not show mercy!"

"Hmph! Since I am in command of the entire army, I must strictly enforce military discipline. If there is a violation, I will never cover it up."

Yuan Shao was a bit stubborn when he was contradicted by Yuan Shu, but everyone could understand that Yuan Shao's words were still somewhat unwilling.

In fact, this is also the case. Although Yuan Shao's ability and reputation are higher than Yuan Shu's, Yuan Shu's only lineage is enough to suppress Yuan Shao.

Just because Yuan Shu is a direct descendant, Yuan Shu can get the support of more people in the Yuan family.

The Yuan family's four generations and three generations have accumulated a lot of background, and it is not something that Yuan Shao can compete with now.

However, what Yuan Shu did was to offend several others, especially Wei Tao and others. Yuan Shu's words clearly meant that they must catch their mistakes, which was really annoying.

"Since this is the case, you should keep it in mind, but if I have any mistakes, I will correct them, and if I have nothing, I won't be wronged."

After all, Yuan Shu is a child of a noble family, so he knows that a moment's words will not really lead to enmity, but if it is true, then I am afraid it will be hated to the bone, so this is a step, and it is also a win.

With Yuan Shu's words, even the few people who originally wanted to get together suddenly dispersed.

What's more, people like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao quickly thought that if they gathered together at this time, they would be suspected of arrogance, and if they went further, they might be plotting to rebel.

Although these words certainly won't bring down a few people, once these words are spread, it will be very unfavorable to everyone.

Wei Tao naturally didn't have such thoughts at this time. If Zhang Jiao's escape could still be blamed for the previous Luoyang rebellion, and he intended to make a last-ditch effort to see if he could overthrow the Han Dynasty, then the eight captains of Xiyuan were established in advance, and If it is still established with such eight people, then it is telling Wei Tao that history has changed further.

When Wei Tao came to this era, then the change of history is inevitable, not to mention the fact that history has also undergone slight changes.

Just like now, the destruction of the Yellow Turban is only a matter of time. When the news of Zhang Jiao's death comes out, the Yellow Turban will definitely disintegrate.

So Wei Tao is still more concerned about one thing this season, and that is why this is the case.
