Zhijingo is in charge of Lieutenant Temple. In terms of duties, he is responsible for patrolling the palace and the security of the capital, preventing fires, and extinguishing fires if there are any. In addition, he is also responsible for sorting out the arsenal, cleaning the inventory of weapons, etc.

It doesn’t seem like much, but in reality?

The lieutenant in charge of Jinwu and his two hundred cavalry are a force that cannot be ignored in the capital.

Would Dong Zhuo let Huangfu Song take charge of the Lieutenant Temple? Of course it was impossible. He would agree because Dong Zhuo had already controlled the Lieutenant Temple.

However, it was difficult for him to attack the two hundred cavalry, because they were soldiers directly under Zhijinwu, so he could only find a way to insert his own men in Lieutenant Temple to control these people.

Other than that, Lieutenant Temple is not a place worth paying attention to.

The most important thing is that, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhi Jinwu has no power to command the army except for these ordinary pawns responsible for public security. Of course, if the emperor decrees that Zhi Jinwu leads the army to go on an expedition, that is another matter. But Huangfu Song

He is a famous general, and his specialty is marching and fighting. If he doesn't have soldiers and horses in hand, he really is no threat.

Putting Huangfu Song in this position, Dong Zhuo could feel more at ease and not worry that the emperor would use Huangfu Song's name to clean up his armaments and confront him.

Although Liu Xuan is not good at these intrigues, he will not fail to see such obvious things: Huangfu Song is an extremely famous loyal minister and the emperor's party. If he is given the power to command the army, even a fool can see that the emperor wants to

To capture soldiers, it is better to put them in an inconspicuous position and endure it for a while.

What's more, the position of holding Jinwu is not that unbearable. The key depends on how Huangfu Song manages it.

I don't know if the ministers were frightened by Liu Xuan's move of throwing the Tiger Army to Dong Zhuo with a wave of his hand, or what. When Huangfu Song finished talking about it, no one jumped out to say anything, and everyone sat there.

He said nothing and just sat there with his head lowered.

At this time, Liu Xuan had time to take a look at the princes of the court, and found that there were a large number of people kneeling down there, but he only knew two or three kittens. After looking at them for a while, he felt bored, so he had to talk to the few familiar people.

say.

After saying less than a few words, he immediately announced that the court was dismissed when he saw that there was nothing to talk about. The ministers immediately retreated, and then disappeared in groups. Liu Xuan estimated that after today's appearance, this group of people would go back again.

We have to discuss strategies.

Dong Zhuo also left directly. His newly recognized adopted son Lu Bu was still by his side, but the joy on his face was obvious. It seemed that he was very satisfied with his promotion to the position of Tiger Guard Lieutenant General.

Liu Xuan looked at it and couldn't help but secretly thought: "Lü Bu values ​​his own interests. In the future, he can be lured to gain benefits, and then he can be persuaded by reputation and other words. It is not difficult to make him rebel against Dong Zhuo. But how to tie this person to the court is troublesome.

"

Lu Bu's temperament is quite repetitive, and his ears are very soft. Some people say that he will change his mind. If Liu Xuan uses him seriously, he will have to send troops outside in the future. If the other party sends lobbyists at that time, he will not be able to do it in an instant.

Run thousands of miles to Lu Bu's side and kill the lobbyist, right?

Moreover, it is not good to keep one's ears and eyes close to Lu Bu, as this will make it easy for others to catch him.

Touching his chin, he suddenly remembered that he had a younger sister. That younger sister had also been living in the palace and kept a very low profile. However, the late emperor had created a Wannian princess during his time. Other than that, it was as if there was no such person.

"If he is betrothed to Lu Bu, then Lu Fengxian will be considered a relative of the emperor. If he goes against me, the emperor, isn't he going against himself?"

It seems that there is no precedent for the royal family to marry off a princess and then win over a capable minister. It is just a question of whether this person is worth winning over. As a member of the royal family, my sister must have realized this a long time ago - but I didn't expect that the late emperor was useless.

This move actually gave him an advantage.

Thinking of this question, Liu Xuan thought of Cai Yong's daughter again.

"I only knew that Cai Yong had a daughter who was both talented and beautiful, but I forgot to ask how old his daughter was!"

After coming out of Deyang Palace, Liu Xuan didn't go far. He found a secluded place and sat for a while. Not long after, someone led Cao Cao to him.

Liu Xuan turned around and looked at the minister who was leading the way. This man was about thirty years old. Although his appearance was not very good-looking, he had a unique temperament. There was a faint light in his eyes - something that can only be seen in most people with great wisdom.

Seeing such a look, Liu Xuan was surprised and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What is your name?"

"My minister, Xun You, Xun Gongda, is now the Minister of Huangmen!"

Although Huangmen Shilang has the word "Huangmen", he is not a eunuch. However, his scope of duties overlaps with that of eunuchs - he is responsible for liaising with both inside and outside the palace. For example, if the emperor wants to summon any ministers, Huangmen Shilang usually announces when he leaves the palace.

And brought him into the palace to meet the emperor.

At the same time, when the palace gates were closed at sunset, the attendants of Huangmen were also responsible for locking the doors. In addition, they also had to accompany the emperor. When traveling, the attendants behind them were also the attendants of Huangmen.

A true minister of the emperor.

Liu Xuan nodded and did not behave strangely. He turned his gaze back and looked at Cao Cao who came with Xun You.

At this time, Cao Cao obtained Liu Xuan's tempering technique, practiced it diligently every day, and used it with precious medicinal materials, and he actually made a big change!

Originally, Cao Cao was no more than seven feet tall. According to Liu Xuan's habits, he was 1.61 meters tall, a fraction of that at most.

But now Cao Cao's height must be at least 1.65 meters. Although he still has not reached today's 'average level', thinking about it, he has achieved such results not long after practicing. Cao Cao can have great hope for his future.

expect.

I don’t know if it has something to do with this. Cao Cao seemed much closer to Liu Xuan when they talked. If there was something like this that could test the favorability level, Liu Xuan would find that the value was better than when he first met Cao Cao.

I doubled it several times.

"How is the Habayashi Army doing now?"

After rejecting irrelevant people, Liu Xuan directly talked about what he was most concerned about at the moment.

The Yulin Army is his foundation. Only with the Yulin Army in his hands can he more calmly wait for the chaos in the world.

"Currently, Habayashi's left and right cavalry are not fully reorganized, and Habayashi Lang only has a dozen or so men. However, he has begun to recruit soldiers. I think it won't be long before the Habayashi army can be reorganized!"

Habayashiro is the so-called Habayashi Orphan, with a total of 128 people, and to a certain extent, he also serves as the emperor's direct personal guard.

The Yulin Army is a cavalry unit, also known as the Yulin Cavalry. It is divided into two parts, led by the Yulin Left Supervisor and the Yulin Right Supervisor, each with 800 to 900 people.

Due to several major chaos and the incompetence of the previous officers, the current Yulin Army only has less than a thousand people in total, and there are many vacancies on the left and right cavalry.

Cao Cao also visited the school grounds in the past few days and found that even if the remaining people could not all be retained, at least half of them would have to be eliminated. In this way, the number of available people would be only three to four hundred, let alone full staff, not even half of them.

Not enough.

However, the problem of soldiers is easy to solve. Now that the world is in chaos, and there have been many natural disasters in the past two years, many people can't even eat. If they can serve as soldiers and eat food, they will be happy to apply.

What Cao Cao has to do is to select strong men from a large number of civilians and recruit them into the Yulin Army. As for the training, we will talk about it later. At least we have to hold up the situation first.

Secondly, although the Yulin Army was under the command of Cao Cao, the real leaders of the army were the two Yulin left and right supervisors. If there were no trusted people, even if Cao Cao set up a platform, he would still be making wedding clothes for others.

"Is there a suitable candidate?"

Cao Cao mentioned this matter this time: "I sent a letter to the clan earlier, and four brothers from the clan came one after another! These four are all skilled in bow and horse, and knowledgeable in military strategy."

"Oh!" Liu Xuan heard this. Although he knew it in his heart, he still asked deliberately: "What are they called by their names?"

"They are Cao Ren, named Zixiao; Cao Hong, named Zilian. They are brothers of the same clan as the ministers. They came to the capital immediately after receiving the letter!"

"Also Xiahou Dun, whose courtesy name is Yuan Rang, and Xia Houyuan, whose courtesy name is Miaocai, arrived shortly after. These two people are also from the same clan as the ministers." Cao Cao's father's surname was Xiahou, and he was adopted as the son of Cao Teng, so the Xiahou family is also Cao Cao's ancestral family. "I mean Xiahou

Yuan Rang and Cao Zixiao unite their respective departments and reorganize the Yu Lin Army as soon as possible!"

Liu Xuan nodded. These people were all generals of Cao Wei later. Now they are just the head of a camp with a few hundred riders. There should be no problem. Besides, since these people were recommended by Cao Cao, if he wants to say anything wrong, he will

The friendship that was finally established with Cao Cao was ruined, so not to mention that these people were really talented, even if their abilities were mediocre, they had to put them to use for Cao Cao's sake.

After talking for a while, Cao Cao didn't even ask what Liu Xuan's purpose was in using Lu Bu to control the tiger and the army. With Cao Cao's intelligence, if he couldn't even figure out this reason, would he still be the Cao Cao Liu Xuan knew?

So the conversation between the two jumped directly to the next link: "Although Lu Bu's palm of the tiger will not affect the overall situation, your majesty still has to use some means to show it to the princes in the court. Otherwise, even if Dong Zhuo is killed, he will not be able to do it in the future."

There is no one available."

Liu Xuan nodded. After all, he was not as thorough as Cao Cao on this point. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anyone suitable for him, so he had to ask Cao Cao: "Does Meng De have anyone to recommend?"

Cao Cao nodded: "Huangfu Shoujian, the son of Emperor Jinwu Huangfu Yizhen, has a reputation for talent, and he is an old acquaintance of Dong Zhuo. I think Dong Zhuo won't object to it!"

When Liu Xuan heard this, he felt that Cao Cao's suggestion was indeed good. It would not only create obstacles for Dong Zhuo, but also prevent Dong Zhuo from exploding. It could also show the emperor's attitude to some ministers who wanted to confront Dong Zhuo - the emperor still wanted to fight against the domineering emperor.

The authoritarian Dong Zhuo was very fickle.

More importantly, it can also create some trouble for Dong Zhuo to completely control the Tiger Army and buy himself more time.

Nodding, the matter was settled. As for how to make Dong Zhuo pinch his nose and approve it, and send Huangfu Shoujian to the Huben Army, that was what Cao Cao had to do. Liu Xuan didn't have to worry about these things, he only needed to

Just give the order.

When Cao Cao left, Liu Xuan looked at the thin figure leading Cao Cao out of the imperial city, and waved to Zhang Rang, who had been waiting beside him: "Do you understand Xun Gongda, the minister of Huangmen?"
