Chapter 373: Recruiting Generals to Consider Generals
The king and his ministers looked at each other without saying a word!
Li Chengzhi entered the hall and asked the courtesy. After the emperor nodded, the hall suddenly became quiet.
The emperor stared straight at Li Chengzhi, making him feel terrified.
You’re not going to let yourself lose a leg to Yuan Yi, are you?
Guessing in his mind, Li Chengzhi rolled his eyelids and took a peek, only to find that Yuan Ke seemed to be wandering in the sky...
What is wrong with the emperor?
Yuan Ke remembered that after discussing the transfer of Yuan's successor, several important ministers confronted him.
Liu Fang, the left waiter, and Cui Guang, the right waiter, both said: Li Chengzhi is profound in knowledge and has dabbled in hundreds of classics and history. He is also the best in the world in poetry and arithmetic, and he can be a teaching talent in Taixue...
Wang Xian also said: Li Chengzhi hates evil as much as his enemies, is upright, not afraid of power, and does not attach himself to noble families, so he is suitable for the imperial censorship. When he enters, he will correct mistakes and refute mistakes. When he goes out, he will correct all officials and strictly enforce the law...
Gao Zhaoyan: Li Chengzhi is braver than Xiang Yu and invincible. He is also proficient in military training, formations, and battles. He is also smart and clever, and has excellent strategies. He is a natural general. Therefore, people should make full use of their talents and make them wear armor and horses to achieve unparalleled achievements.
.
Today coincides with the plan to conquer the southern region and form and train a new army. You can recruit into the general's palace and worship him as a military officer (chief scout, vanguard general)...
Yu Zhong also made a similar statement, saying that Li Chengzhi was not only brave in martial arts, but also rare in his handsome appearance and outstanding conduct in the world. He could be appointed as a general in golden armor (a warrior in the court or holding a golden melon and umbrella when the emperor was traveling).
). You can also join the Zuojinwu (Emperor’s Guard of Honor) and serve as the Guard of Honor (Guard of Honor).
Even Liu Teng came to join in the fun. He said that Li Chengzhi is good at cooking, can brew fine wine, is good at treating trauma, and is good at medicine. He should be admitted to the palace. Anyone who is good at food or medicine can...
The emperor didn't know if these people really thought Li Chengzhi was a talent, or if they were just trying to please him as the emperor, but doctors from Taixue, censors and the like couldn't even think about it.
Talent is not so wasted...
But it is impossible to worship Gao Zhao as a pioneer... I have never heard of Li Chengzhi and he still fights in water?
In fact, the emperor's preference is still the two guards.
If nothing else, just because Li Chengzhi could create a chess game that coincided with the ideals of military strategism, the emperor decided that Li Chengzhi's military talents were more than what he showed.
First, I want to see Li Chengzhi's miraculous talent in training, organizing, preparing, and leading troops that the world has boasted about. The second is that the Imperial Guard has really reached the point where it has to be reorganized.
For example, Su Wei, Dui Lao, Yu Lin, Palace Imperial Guard, etc. are all close attendants and military attachés, which can be said to be the most important.
And as long as the emperor is willing and wants Li Chengzhi to train troops, he has to train troops. If he wants him to play chess, he has to play chess. If he wants him to treat diseases, he has to put down his sword and gun and pick up his medicine box.
When you are greedy, you can still make him cook some delicacies and brew some fine wine. If you really need him to fight in battle, just let him go with the army... This is how people can make full use of their talents...
But Yu Zhong doesn’t want it.
After hearing the song, he knew the elegant meaning. There were dozens of supervisory offices in the left and right houses, but when Yu Zhong only mentioned the empty-handed duty officer and Jin Wu, the emperor knew that Li Chengzhi had offended the imperial guards this time... Even if Yu Zhong agrees, it will definitely be difficult for Li Chengzhi to go.
For a while, the emperor couldn't find a suitable position...
After thinking for a long time, the emperor's eyes lit up: "Liu Teng, is there any vacancy in the tiger's wings?"
Huben?
Liu Teng glanced at Li Chengzhi and sighed secretly: It's really hard for Your Majesty.
Huben can be called the emperor's personal army. He is neither controlled by the Wei Mansion nor the Ministry of War. He is only ordered by the emperor...
Liu Teng thought about it carefully: "Your Majesty, there are no vacancies in the two armies. Only Sima, a high chariot and a tiger, has resigned due to the death of his mother. There is no one to represent him for the time being..."
The chief officer of Huben is Huben Zhonglang General, with a rank of third rank. He is currently appointed by Yuan Yuan, son of Situ Yuanjia. He has three guards under his jurisdiction, each with a halberd according to the tribes of the soldiers (both the chief officer and the soldiers are Xianbei), and recruits
(Mainly Han people. Rouran, Dingling and other ethnic groups account for a small part), Gaoche (mainly Gaoche ethnic group, Rouran, Dingling and other ethnic groups also exist).
The leader of each guard will be General Huben, with an official rank of the fourth rank. Sima Huben will be his subordinate officer, with a rank of up to fifth rank.
This is the official Liu Teng is talking about.
For Li Chengzhi, this official position is indeed too high. And he has done nothing for Huben, so how can he convince the public when he is suddenly promoted?
And they are still Gaoche guards. Although not all Gaoche guards are from the generals, the subordinate officials are all the Hu tribes who have submitted to the Wei Dynasty, the princes of the tribes, the nobles, and the generals. The ordinary soldiers are also from the various Hu tribes.
Among the warriors recruited from the tribe, there are not even Han Chinese.
Therefore, since the formation of the Gaochewei army, there has never been a precedent for a Han person to be the chief officer. Li Chengzhi is naturally no exception.
But this cannot trouble the emperor.
He pondered for a while and said: "It was ordered to Yuan Yuan (son of Taiwei Yuanjia, Lieutenant General of Huben, and chief officer of Huben Guards) to select a Sima from the Recruitment Guards and move him to the High Chariot Guards. His subordinates will be promoted step by step.
Promotion, a tiger and a brave general will come out... No, a tiger and a brave general will come out..."
After talking for a while, he looked at Li Chengzhi again: "I will humiliate you as General Hu Ben and allow you to lead a brigade..."
Li Chengzhi was overjoyed and bowed down: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor actually gave himself an official title?
He used to think that if he shot Yuan Yi's leg off, the emperor would be fine if he didn't punish him.
I didn't expect that the official position was not low, but he was a fifth-rank Tiger General. Not only was he a military attache of the emperor's personal guard, but he was also a chief officer, not an assistant.
As long as it is released outside, at least one level of transfer will be added, that is, the fifth level... which can be as good as Yang Shu, who is newly promoted to the prefect.
Don’t think that you are just leading a brigade with only 500 soldiers. The most common soldiers in the Huben Guards are all officers, with a rank of 200 stones, that is, from the ninth rank.
But then, he was speechless.
The emperor just made a slight bend in his tongue, and he dropped from the fifth rank to the lower fifth rank. There is a full four steps difference between the two, which is almost one and a half levels.
The recruiters Huben Langjiang and Hubenjiang seem to have the same word, but the former is the military commander (battalion officer), and the latter is just the brigade commander. Even the number of soldiers he leads is twice the difference...
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet!"
The emperor waved his hand and said: "You have taken the exam in the selection department. Although your merits are enough, your qualifications are far from satisfactory. Not to mention there are many mistakes. Even for the selection, you should be a doctor named Hu Ben (Wu Shichang, from the sixth grade).
(Bottom) or Huben Shilang (team leader, lower than the sixth rank). The reason why I appointed you as Huben General and ordered you to lead a brigade, you must also know my intention..."
The emperor gave a sharp pause and said in a cold voice, "When you take office, I will order Yuan Yuan to transfer all the high-ranking disciples from the guards, such as Gao Liang, Hua Fu, and the four surnames, to your command. I will grant you a limit of three months.
If you can’t develop your own personality, I’m asking for you..."
Li Chengzhi's eyelids twitched: Are they all children of wealthy families?
Not only offending Yuan Ji and Yuan Yi, but also stabilizing the Hu family, is the emperor preparing to offend all the high-ranking officials?
