The establishment of a system cannot be completed in a short time.
It requires someone to put forward an initiative, and then gather everyone's efforts to make suggestions and formulate detailed rules. Then conduct pilot projects, discover problems, get feedback, and then convene people to study and improve, and finally improve it.
The whole process can take a few months, or a few years. If someone blocks it in the middle, or the opposition is too loud, you can't tell how long it will take.
Now that Shao Xun came up with this idea, he needed Wang Yan to help him design a plan based on the actual situation in the world.
As for why he was asked to design, this is not enough for outsiders to explain. Anyway, Wang Yan only needs to know a little bit. He was roasted on the fire by Shao Xun.
Thinking of this, I feel so sad that I can't sleep.
Fortunately, this matter is not rushed. As a famous person in the world, Wang Yan is not in danger of exposing his butt yet, and can continue to pretend and handle public opinion for Shao Xun.
After putting this aside, he waited silently in Jinguyuan. On June 19, Shao Xun arrived with his troops.
After the court meeting on the 20th, a large number of court officials drove out of Ximingmen and headed for Jingu Garden.
Shao Xun held a banquet in the garden to entertain everyone. For a time, the popularity of Jingu Garden vaguely surpassed that of the Luoyang court, which made people stunned.
In the middle of the banquet, Shao Xun summoned Taiwei Wang Yan, Situ Liu Tun, Shangshu Ling Yu Min, Zuo Pushe Liu Wang, Zhongshu Superintendent Zheng Yu, Ting Weiqing Zhuge Quan, Northern Army Zhonghou Pei Kuo, and Zhonghujun Wang Hu.
, the left guard general Chen Qi, the right guard general Li Yun, the heroic cavalry general Duan Liang and other more than ten officials with real power.
When Shao Xun entered the summoning place, everyone stood up: "See Mr. Chen."
Shao Xun paused and glanced at everyone.
He knew very well that on the surface these people were high-ranking officials who were relatively close to him, but internally they could be divided into several factions.
Wang Yan, Yu Min, and Chen Jin are the three closest to him, and they do their best in everything they do.
Although Pei Kuo was born in the Pei family, it was logical that he was close to him, but precisely because he was born in the Pei family, like the governor of Yuzhou, Yang Jiuzhi, and others, he always had an arrogance about him. He was relatively close, but not particularly close, but overall
Words can still be trusted.
Wang Hu is not very clear-minded, and his treatment of others is very poor. He is a relatively pure soldier, but he wants to get involved in politics, but he has repeatedly hit a wall.
His promotion over the years was all due to Shao Xun, and he must have understood this deep down in his heart. His younger brother Wang Yin appeared as the Superintendent of the Mianbei Shogunate's Record Office, and was also working for Shao Xun.
Wang Hu can also be trusted, although his brain is always cramped.
Chen Jin, Li Yun, and Duan Liang are in charge of the Forbidden Army. Chen Jin can be completely trusted. Duan Liang and Li Yun each have their own ideas, but they can assess the situation and come to their aid in time. Even if they are not confidants, they can still be used.
Over the years, the emperor has been trying to win over the generals of the Forbidden Army. The three of them could not resist, but they also found opportunities to clean up and get rid of some people who were not determined. The remaining ones who really couldn't move would inform Shao Xun and let him
I know it well.
In addition, under Shao Xun's instruction, they continued to promote his personal skills.
Huang Biaofi had no background. He was originally a leading soldier, but he has been rising up the ranks over the years. He is now the Sima of the left-back forward battalion, commanding more than 2,000 heavy armored infantry. It was Shao Xun who borrowed their hands to complete this task.
Xu Lang, the commander of the three divisions of the Zuowei, controls the three battalions of base, vanguard and strong crossbows. His position has been untouchable for many years, and he firmly controls the backbone and elite forces of the Zuowei.
Sometimes, the competition is not about who has the most senior official position, but who has the military power.
After the Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army became the de facto supreme commander of the Forbidden Army, positions such as the Central Protector and the Central Leader have gradually been reduced to mascots, and the military power does not even include those of the Lieutenant General, the Third Battalion Sima, and the Third Department Supervisor.
The officer is strong.
There are many people competing for the positions of left guard and right guard, but Xu Lang is as stable as a mountain because of his relationship with Shao Xun. Otherwise, he would have been pulled down long ago just because of his origins in the Donghai Xu family.
Miao Yuan, the Lieutenant General of the Left Guard Hall, the former Sima of the Right Guard Hall, the current Lieutenant General Zheng Dong, the former Captain of Jijun, Yao Yuan, the current Sima of the Right Guard Hall, and He Zhong, the Sima of the Right Guard Youji Camp, all relied on their cooperation to secure the victory.
firmly holds military power.
Relatively speaking, warriors are more practical and more active in getting closer.
As for Liu Tun, Liu Wang, Zheng Yu and others, they often cooperate with Shao Xun in doing things, but it would be a mistake to regard them as one of your own. They are just soft and succumbing to reality, but they can be driven at the moment.
"The main purpose of summoning you here today is to discuss the matter of attacking the Xiongnu." Shao Xun sat upright in front of everyone and said matter-of-factly.
Although some people despise his background and think that he is a nouveau riche, his situation is stronger than others, and even though he is like this, they can only hold their noses and listen to what he has to say.
"Hongnong has been trapped by thieves for a long time and has looted Luoyang many times. Most of the property of the kings is outside the city. Over the years, the villagers have fled and the houses have collapsed. Wouldn't it be a pity?" Shao Xun said: "In front of us are the kings of Liang and Wuling.
king
After the death of the King of Puyang (formerly the King of the City) and the death of the King of Changsha, there are not a few ministers who fell into the hands of thieves. The thieves are so rampant, and if it continues, I don’t think any of your family members will be able to leave the city."
There is always a large opening to the west of Luoyang, through which the Huns cavalry can break into the suburbs of Luoyang to burn, kill and loot. And it is impossible for the princes and ministers to stay in the city every day. Over time, someone will be plundered by the Huns.
information.
Previously, King Liang and King Wuling (the two kings were actually one family) were killed, and this spring, King Sima Ji of Puyang, King Sima Shuo of Changsha and their sons were killed.
In addition to the clan, there are also several ministers.
They had manors outside the city. Although the villagers fled in large numbers, there were always some who did not escape or had nowhere to go, and were forced to stay in the local area to farm and collect for them.
They couldn't stay in Luoyang City forever. It would be the same as going to jail. They had to go out for some fresh air, right? After a long time, something would inevitably happen.
"Perhaps we suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Xin'an three years ago, so we should not move lightly." Shao Xun added, "But this time I led a large army here as a backup, so we still have to fight."
When everyone heard this, they all thought about it.
The matter was obvious. Duke Chen wanted the Forbidden Army to be the main force in the siege, and the troops he brought with him suppressed the battle.
This battle was ostensibly to deal with Luoyang's flank threat, but in reality it was to contain the Huns and prevent Hongnong's troops, horses, and supplies from being used on other battlefields.
Considering that Wang Que'er has led more than 30,000 troops in the northern expedition to Hanoi, Liu Qia, He Lun and others are confronting Shi Hu at Fangtou and Chaoge, and Generals Li Chong and Jin Zheng are mainly attacking Shi Le, this turned out to be a comprehensive attack on the Xiongnu.
war.
Many people say that Shao Xun is attacking Hebei, but it is obvious that his mind is not bound to Hebei, but is fighting various Xiongnu tribes from all directions that are conducive to attack. The Luoyang Forbidden Army is just a line of troops on his map.
"There is another matter. Xuzhou came to report that Xun Taizhang, the governor, has resigned from office and returned to his hometown." Shao Xun said: "Pengcheng's troops and horses are temporarily led by Liu Chou and Liu Wang Qiao. Sima Rui is trying to follow the imperial edict, which is tantamount to rebellion.
Liu Wangqiao and Xi Daohui should join forces to suppress it. Xuzhou is established, and we have no worries about the south, so we can focus on the north. The second attack on Xin'an must be fought no matter what."
It didn't take long for Pengcheng to be captured. If it weren't for someone like Shao Xun, who could get five hundred miles of urgent news at any time, it would have taken a month for other officials to know at the earliest, and three to five months at the earliest.
Therefore, when Shao Xun said this, everyone was a little surprised.
When Pengcheng came, Xuzhou was immediately divided into two halves.
The six counties of Pengcheng, Donghai, Lanling, Dongguan, Dong'an and Langya belong to Shaoxun.
The five counties of Xiapi, Linhuai, Huailing, Guangling and Tangyi belong to Sima Rui.
The two sides are still at war. If they cannot make a big breakthrough, the Huai River will be the boundary. Unless Shao soldiers can break through the Huai River and attack the Guangling area in one go, threatening Jianye.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, most of the Jianghuai gentry defected to Cao Cao, such as Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling. Nowadays, most of the Jiangbei gentry, such as the Dai family of Guangling, served as officials in Jianye, but I don't know what happened to them in the end.
"After leaving the army, the army must have a commander. Who does Mr. Chen think can be the commander?" When everyone was silent, Shangshu ordered Yu Min to ask.
Shao Xun's eyes turned around, and finally stopped at Pei Kuo, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, and said: "Ke Jian has been in charge of the army for a long time and is familiar with military matters. Do you dare to take on such an important task?"
Pei Kuo had already expected this. Hearing the words, he bowed and said, "Since Duke Ming has this intention, what else can I say?"
Shao Xun was not a court official, so theoretically he could not command these people, but Pei Kuo's behavior was undoubtedly a public statement in front of everyone, and he would not be able to wash it off even if he wanted to.
"Okay." Shao Xun was very satisfied and said: "When the army sets out, it will have a vanguard, a middle army, and backup. The vanguard must be selected carefully."
Pei Kuo understood and asked: "Is there anyone whom the Lord Ming cares about?"
"General Qingche Jiao Qiuke is the commander-in-chief of the former army, and Henan Yin Wuyi is his deputy." Shao Xun said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone bowed their heads.
This is not a good job. But, can the emperor agree?
"The most important thing in military warfare is speed. It is not an option for the imperial army to stay in Luoyang for several years. They have to be mobilized to fight." Shao Xun said: "I am a foreign minister, so I can't comment too much on this. Too much
Wei is the pillar of the country, so you should pay more attention to it."
Wang Yan knelt down on the ground, bowed and said, "It's just a matter of duty."
"To unite the army and gather the masses, the key is to stimulate the spirit. If the spirit is not stimulated, it will be clumsy, and if it is clumsy, it will not be enough. If it is not enough, it will be defeated." Shao Xun added: "Now that the army has gathered, we can ask the emperor to come to the countryside to boost morale."
When he said this, he looked at Wang Yan and Yu Min.
Both of them nodded.
"That's all, let's adjourn the meeting." Shao Xun stood up neatly and ordered.
After leaving the venue, Shao Xun deliberately took a few steps slowly.
After a while, Wang Yan rushed over and said: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. Does Taibai want to find a position in the court?"
Shao Xun pondered for a while.
Being an official in the court, especially a high-ranking official, is not convenient for serving as a local governor at the same time.
Of course you can force yourself to take on both roles, but it won't always be in line with the rules.
"In the past, the King of Donghai was the prime minister, leading the shepherds of Yanzhou and supervising the military affairs of the six states. If I concurrently hold court positions, could I follow Sima Yue's story?" Shao Xun asked.
Wang Yan hesitated.
Shao Xun understood when he saw him like that and said, "That's it, let's wait until I defeat Shi Le."
After saying that, he went back to the military camp.
