Although he has never truly understood how powerful Liu Bei's army is, just by looking at the results, even He Jin can know how powerful Liu Bei's army is.
Facing such a powerful enemy, if you are not careful, you may regret it when the day comes when we meet in battle.
Now that there are eunuchs in the imperial city as internal support, there must be support from the outside. Although Dong Zhuo has a nephew who has a close relationship with Liu Bei, he himself is an old official of the Yuan family. Yuan Wei feels that Dong Zhuo does not dare to violate his orders.
Order.
So after much thought, he decided to cooperate with He Jin and find a way to summon Dong Zhuo to Luoyang.
"How could this kind of thing succeed without the emperor's order? Now that the emperor is wary, it is impossible for us to recruit foreign troops. If you mobilize Dong Zhuo's troops at will, it will be tantamount to rebellion and will be very detrimental to us. I
I think you’d better not do this.”
He Jin raised objections.
Of course Yuan Wei knew the reason, but he couldn't accept this fact.
"Liu Bei has a strong army. If it comes to the last moment, he will inevitably have to fight. Once there is a fight, are you sure you can defeat Liu Bei's Liangzhou soldiers?"
He Jin was silent.
Of course he wasn't sure.
But the matter of casually recruiting foreign soldiers to Luoyang is very important. If it is really going to happen, Liu Bei will hand over a memorial, and Liu Hong will immediately slap a traitorous label on them, and they will be finished.
"Didn't Dong Zhuo send some troops to Luoyang before? Now I have nearly 3,000 Bingzhou soldiers under my command. I think these troops are enough."
When foreign troops came to Luoyang before, Dong Zhuo followed Yuan Wei's wishes and sent two newly recruited army commanders, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, each with more than a thousand soldiers to go south in response to He Jin's call. These nearly three thousand Bingzhou soldiers became
The strongest unit among the foreign troops under He Jin's command.
Despite this, Yuan Wei doesn't think this is anything to be proud of.
"What's that? Less than three thousand people? Is it enough for Liu Bei to eat in one bite?"
Yuan Wei shook his head repeatedly and said: "Liu Bei has more than 20,000 Liangzhou soldiers under his command. It is said that he has subordinates in Liangzhou and Yizhou. With an order, more troops can reach Luoyang. How can we slack off?
"
After Yuan Wei finished speaking, He Jin couldn't help but feel that what Yuan Wei said made sense.
"Then how should we deal with Dong Zhuo's return to Beijing?"
Yuan Wei thought about it and couldn't think of a solution.
"I haven't thought of a way yet, but there are some ways. Give me some time to think about it."
He Jin also knew that this kind of matter could not be rushed, so he did not ask Yuan Wei too much, but gave him time to think about it.
But just as Yuan Wei was thinking about it, the results of Liu Bei's blasting operation against the Insect Alliance had already appeared.
Kuai Yue, a general under He Jin's command, asked He Jin to resign. The reason was that his mother was sick and old. Kuai Yue was worried that he would not be able to accompany his mother until the end. He was very sad, so he asked to be transferred to a place closer to his hometown.
As an official, I can take care of my mother nearby.
He Jin was very surprised when he learned about it.
Kuai Yue was very resourceful and He Jin did not want to lose him.
"I have something important to entrust to Qiandu. How could Qiandu leave me early? Luoyang has the best doctors in the world. There is no need for Qiandu to worry about it. I will arrange for capable people to take Qiandu's mother to Luoyang.
If Yang comes to diagnose and treat her, she will definitely be cured!"
Kuai Yue lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
"My mother is old and frail, how can she travel far away? Please show sympathy to the general. My mother is ill and my subordinates are very upset. They can no longer provide advice to the general normally. There is no point in staying here. It will only damage the general."
This is an important matter for the General. Please show your filial piety to your subordinates, General!"
As he spoke, Kuai Yue burst into tears and collapsed on the ground unable to get up.
He cried loudly, and He Jin didn't want to let him go, but he had no choice but to agree to Kuai Yue and appoint him as the magistrate of Deng County, Nanyang County, so that he could take care of his sick mother nearby.
Despite this, when Kuai Yue was about to leave, He Jin still held his hand and told him to come back as soon as his mother recovered from her illness, and He Jin would properly arrange a position for him.
Kuai Yue agreed repeatedly, and then left Luoyang City overnight without looking back, successfully escaping.
Kuai Yue's departure was the beginning. A few days later, Liu Biao suddenly came to say goodbye to He Jin. The reason was that there had been a sudden change in his family and he needed to go home to deal with some family matters. It might take some time. He hoped that He Jin could give him this.
time.
He Jin didn't think there was anything wrong, so he nodded and gave Liu Biao half a year's leave to finish the matter as soon as possible and then come back. He Jin said that he still had important things to entrust to Liu Biao and hoped that Liu Biao would not delay.
So far, He Jin has not noticed the crisis coming.
One day after Liu Biao left, Bao Xin suddenly came to say goodbye to He Jin. The reason was that his father was ill and called his name. He was anxious and wanted to resign and return to his hometown to take care of his father.
He Jin felt something was wrong.
"In the past, Jingsheng asked to leave because of family matters. Why is there something going on with your family now?"
Bao Xinxin secretly thought that Liu Biao and Kuai Yue were probably persuaded by Liu Bei, so they felt a little emotional that they had made the right choice, and kowtowed and cried.
"My father is seriously ill and his confidence is in tatters. He really can't stay in Luoyang for even one more day. I wish I could have wings and fly back home to take care of my father. I also ask General Gu Nianxin to show his filial piety!"
Bao Xin also burst into tears, which made He Jin upset.
He had some vague guesses in his mind, but when it came to the issue of filial piety, he really couldn't openly question these subordinates, so he could only agree to Bao Xin's request to leave, but not his resignation, and gave him half a year to take care of the family affairs, as long as his father recovered.
, come back immediately.
Moreover, he can also recruit troops in his hometown, killing two birds with one stone, which is a good thing.
Bao Xinxin thought that although he could not achieve his goal of resigning, he could at least return to his hometown and leave Luoyang, which would be enough.
Anyway, after leaving Luoyang, even if the sea is vast and fish can leap into the sky and birds can fly, can He Jin still send people to his hometown to capture him?
Bao Xin did not stay long, fearing that things might change if he was too late, so he left Luoyang overnight to return to his hometown and never looked back.
Until this moment, He Jin was still in a state where he vaguely felt something was wrong, and didn't think too much about it.
It wasn't until something went wrong in the army that he realized something was wrong.
Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, sent people to request the repatriation of Chenliu County soldiers. The reason was that they did not want to get involved in this matter and felt that the Luoyang matter should be left to the Luoyang court and the emperor to decide.
Chen Liujun soldiers have been away from their hometown for a long time and it is time to return to their hometown. Their families also miss them.
He Jin was shocked and quickly asked the envoy Chen Liu what was going on. The envoy Chen Liu only said that he was acting under orders and hoped that it would be convenient for the general.
He Jin certainly couldn't just let go of the army that was the basis of his political struggle, so he quickly stopped him and ordered Chenliu's envoy to tell Chenliu that the soldiers from Chenliu County were now subordinates of the general and could not return to Chenliu.
So the Chenliu envoy simply announced to the soldiers that the army was disbanded, and there was no military pay or supplies. As a result, the welfare of the county soldiers in Chenliu County was also gone, and they were allowed to decide whether to leave or stay and continue to work for the general.
The soldiers of Chenliu County had been away from their hometown for a long time, and they missed their hometown very much. Now that they were disbanded, the public was even more angry.
Although He Jin promised them very good benefits, based on He Jin's various actions during this period, they felt that this verbal benefit was not so easy to obtain.
During this period, He Jin promised a lot of things, but all they could get was a small amount of five baht coins, and the rest was nowhere to be seen. The county soldiers were not interested in He Jin and did not want to sacrifice their lives for him, so
Quite a few dispersed on their own.
Only a few county soldiers stayed because they wanted rewards.
He Jin lost more than a thousand and almost two thousand soldiers.
