The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1109 Returning Borrowed Soldiers
"This time Liu Yin returned to the Tiger Cavalry Camp of the Forbidden Army and the Tiger Step Camp, isn't the general worried?" Zhong Hui asked Jiang Wei.

The Huqi Battalion and the Hubu Battalion were soldiers and horses originally belonging to the Forbidden Army. During Liu Yin's Northern Expedition, they were placed under Liu Yin's command. Now Liu Yin has 20 soldiers and horses, so naturally the 1 people are not bad, Huo Yiti Come out and reclassify the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and the Tiger Walking Battalion into the establishment of the Forbidden Army, and be responsible for the city defense of Luoyang City. No party seems to have any objection to this.

On the surface, the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and Hubu Battalion were separated from Liu Yin's command, which seemed to have caused a certain loss to Liu Yin's strength, but in fact, this army has been absolutely loyal after years of training by Liu Yin Because of Liu Yin's troops, staying in Luoyang City this time is tantamount to letting Liu Yin extend a hand into the palace city, which is exactly what Zhong Hui is worried about.

But this is almost a very normal transfer. It seems to be a matter of course that the soldiers and horses that Liu Yin borrowed back then are returned now.

Zhong Hui reminded Jiang Wei at this moment that he wanted Jiang Wei to guard against Liu Yin's move. It turned out that Liu Yin had been fighting outside and had no influence on the imperial court's forbidden army. , Invisibly, let Liu Yin's forces infiltrate into the Forbidden Army, which is obviously not good news.

Regarding this, Jiang Wei smiled indifferently, and said: "It's not a big deal for the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and the Tiger Battalion to return to the Imperial Army. big impact."

The establishment of the Imperial Army is divided into the Habayashi Army, the Huben Army and the Tiger Guard Army. Among them, the Habayashi Army is the most core part. There are two battalions each, and the Habayashi Army has a total of four Habayashi Nakaro generals, namely the front, back, left, and right Nakabayashi Nakaro generals.The Habayashi Army mainly defends the safety of the palace, and at the same time, it is also the most important accompanying force when the emperor is on tour.

The Huben Army is responsible for the vigilance and defense around the palace. The Huben Army is led by the Huben Governor, and there are two Huben Zhonglang generals on the left and right.The Tiger Guard Army is in charge of public security and security in the capital. It is led by the Governor of the Tiger Guard and consists of two generals, the Tiger Rider Zhonglang General and the Tiger Step Zhonglang General.

This time the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and the Tiger Step Battalion were transferred back to the Forbidden Army, and they were only serving as the most peripheral guards of the imperial city. It only accounted for a quarter, and this is where Jiang Wei didn't think he was disobedient at all.

Although Jiang Wei did not dare to say that he had taken all the command of the imperial army into his own hands, Li Qiu, who is now General Wei, has a good relationship with Ma Bing, the left governor of Yubayashi, and Jiang Wei. Yuan is the governor of the right department of Yubayashi, and Dong Hong, who is the governor of Huben, is the grandson of Dong He, and his relationship with Jiang Wei is even more unspeakable. In other words, Jiang Wei's control over the imperial army has reached ten percent. Seven or eight, the addition of the two outlying Forbidden Forces from the Huqi Camp and the Hubu Camp will not have any impact on Jiang Wei's control of the palace.

The Shangshu ordered Huo Yi to rely on his small relationship with Liu Chanfa, all the way to the top, from Jianning prefect to the first assistant minister, but the power Huo Yi cultivated was in Nanzhong. The influence of the imperial court was extremely huge, but after moving back to Shu, Huo Yi's influence gradually declined.

Jiang Wei didn't go to Nanzhong, he stayed in Shu and insisted on fighting. When the Shuhan court was in Nanzhong, Jiang Wei naturally couldn't exert much influence on the Shuhan court, but since the court moved back to Luo County, Jiang Wei Wei's control over the imperial court increased day by day.

Although Huo Yi served as Shangshu Ling and was in charge of the daily affairs of Shangshutai, he lost his foundation in Nanzhong. Even Huo Yi felt that he was not much different from the rootless Piaoping. It made Huo Yi even more worried. Zhang Shao, who used to be quite powerful in the court, has now retreated to the second line due to his health, which made Huo Yi even more alone in the court.

Although Huo Yi has never had any conflicts with Jiang Wei, he is not a member of Jiang Wei's family after all. He is in a high position but has no corresponding foundational power, which makes Huo Yi feel that he is overwhelmed by the heights.

In order to reverse this situation, Huo Yi deliberately moved closer to Liu Yin's side. According to Huo Yi, the only one who can stand up to Jiang Wei now is Liu Yin.

Although Liu Yin is not in the court, but these years of fighting abroad, he has indeed cultivated a lot of forces of his own. These forces are distributed in the northern states and spanning thousands of miles. A force no one dares to underestimate.

The transfer of the Tiger Cavalry Camp and the Tiger Walking Camp to Luoyang was also the result of Huo Yi's deliberation. In the final analysis, the power struggle is also a technique of checks and balances. Although Liu Yin's power is huge, it basically belongs to the power of the outer towns. Liu Yin's influence is extremely limited. This time, taking the opportunity of returning the two battalions of the Forbidden Army, it will undoubtedly introduce Liu Yin's power into the imperial city and form a check and balance relationship with Jiang Wei, which will prevent Jiang Wei's family from dominating. situation.

On this point, Huo Yi took great pains.As for supporting Liu Chen's succession, Huo Yi didn't have any other intentions, and he didn't have any selfishness. After all, the previous generation had too many bloody lessons from the old and the young, so Huo Yi had to be vigilant. The tragedy repeated itself again.

What's more, it's not that Huo Yi doesn't know Liu Chen and Liu Xun's character. Comparing the two, they are never on the same level. With the attitude of choosing a qualified successor for the Shu Han court, Huo Yi supports Liu Chen, and also Not surprisingly.

But Jiang Wei's considerations are different from Huo Yi's. Between the strong and the weak, and the weak and strong, Jiang Wei would rather choose the latter than the former.Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, has an upright personality and a very close relationship with Liu Yin, which is undoubtedly not good for Jiang Wei. Once Liu Chen comes to power, it will be difficult for Jiang Wei to maintain his current position.

And Xinxing Wang Liu Xun is a dude who has never been in the eyes of Jiang Weifa, but as Zhong Hui said, a mediocre lord can often create a strong minister. Jiang Wei's status is due to Zhuge Liang's strength. If you try it with Cao Cao, Sun Quan, or Liu Bei, Jiang Wei may not even have the right to speak in the court.

Therefore, supporting Liu Xun became Jiang Wei's only choice.
