Chapter 133 He Jin plans to choose eight schools
He Jin originally wanted to persuade Liu Zhang to support Liu Bian with him, but Liu Zhang actually went to Bingzhou and made it clear that he did not want to participate in the struggle for the throne. In this case, in order to increase Liu Bian's weight, He Jin colluded with Yuan Wei and others to
Together. Of course, they are not too far away in the first place.
When Liu Zhang escorted Beigong Boyu into the Tingwei Mansion, He Jin got the news, and Yuan Wei also got the news at the same time. But Yuan Wei is now just a purge under He Jin because he resigned. However,
He Jin promised Yuan Wei that as long as Liu Bian ascended the throne as emperor, he would ask Liu Bian to restore Yuan Wei's official position.
After receiving He Jin's promise, Yuan Wei showed his gratitude. But no one knew that Yuan Wei's purpose was to disrupt the world so that the Yuan family could rise to power. With the current situation, any wise person can see that the world is about to fall apart.
The key lies in Liu Hong. Perhaps only He Jin's brother and sister don't know this sentence when Zulong dies and the world is divided.
He Jin was quite impressed when he heard that Liu Zhang had captured Beigong Boyu, but after admiring him, he felt a sense of crisis. With Liu Zhang's ability, even if Liu Bian ascended the throne as emperor, He Jin would not be able to take over the power. In order to be able to
In order to fight against Liu Zhang, He Jin summoned Yuan Wei and others.
Now the Yuan family has fully cooperated with He Jin, and even Cao Cao has joined He Jin. After hearing He Jin's summons, everyone immediately rushed over. If Liu Zhang knew who was involved, he might be salivating. Unfortunately,
He Jin, on the other hand, looked at people based on their reputation and family background, and was unable to bring out the talents of the characters in his hands. It was as if the brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were sitting at the top, while Xun You and Cao Cao were at the bottom.
When everyone arrived, He Jin smiled and captured Liu Zhang alive in Beigong Boyu, and told the story about drinking with the emperor in the palace. Everyone present showed different expressions. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked hateful, and Cao Cao
, but Xun You lowered his head. Only old foxes like Yuan Wei and Wang Yun, who had already cultivated to perfection, had plain faces.
"I wonder what the general wants?" Yuan Wei listened quietly to He Jin before asking.
"Uh... what I mean is that Liu Zhang cannot be allowed to be so arrogant anymore, and he must be suppressed!" He Jin also had a ruthless look on his face, but he was trying to provoke the wealthy family to fight with Liu Zhang so that he could reap the benefits.
"General, Liu Zhang's strength lies in his sharp weapons. If you want to suppress him, the general must take action!" Yuan Wei was not stunned. How could he not see He Jin's thoughts? However, he could not say that he could see it.
Come out, after all, he and He Jin are in alliance.
"I just hired a few people because I didn't have any subordinates!" He Jin was originally a butcher and sold meat, so he was naturally not very thick-skinned, and bargaining was commonplace.
"It's useless to have anyone!" Cao Cao sneered next: "With the ability of the champion, who here can match it? Not to mention the highway, brothers Benchu, let's just say that Lord Yuan has also suffered from his tricks. General,
Master Yuan, how many of your subordinates do you think are stronger than you?"
"Uh... Meng De's words make sense!" Yuan Wei nodded and said, "But I wonder if Meng De has any good ideas?"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "The champion once said: Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes! Cao Cao believed it! The specific meaning is to make up for quality with quantity, such as the Yellow Turban Road. In fact, the Yellow Turban Road is not powerful, but it can't stand up to a large number of people, dozens or more.
No one can bear the pressure of millions of people. A good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves. No matter how powerful the champion is, he is just one person. Even if there is help, there are not as many as there are here!"
"Uh..." He Jin and Yuan Wei were stunned. How could they not understand what Cao Cao meant? He just told them to stop fighting among themselves.
"Meng De's words are very kind!" He Jin is worthy of being a butcher, and he is so thick-skinned that Yuan Wei can't match him.
"You are talking nonsense, please invite the general, Mr. Yuan Haihan!" Cao Cao retreated after getting an advantage, otherwise He Jin and Yuan Wei would be really offended.
"It's okay!" Yuan Wei reacted. Although he didn't like what Cao Cao said, He Jin could tolerate it, so he wouldn't get entangled. In Yuan Wei's heart, no one could lose to He Jin in terms of measure.
Butcher. However, after Cao Cao talked for a long time, he still had no idea.
"My lords, I have something to say. I don't know if it's acceptable, but I'd like to ask some of you for more details!" Xu You reacted the fastest. When he heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately thought of an idea.
"Zi Yuan says it straight. Even if he says something wrong, we won't blame him!" He Jin wants an idea now. As long as he has an idea, he doesn't mind at all.
"Just now Meng De said: Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes! The champion started his career with military exploits and holds a lot of military power. As long as our military power exceeds his, won't we be able to restrain him?" Xu You asked with a smile: "If the champion has
Ten thousand troops, and we have one hundred thousand, or even two hundred thousand, is he still our opponent?"
After listening to Xu You's words, He Jin thought carefully in his heart: "Liu Zhang has 40,000 troops in Luoyang, and Luoyang has 200,000 troops, most of which are in my name, but..."
Seeing He Jin's silence, Xu You picked up the cup and took a sip and said: "Actually, our power is not less than that of Liu Zhang. The general alone has nearly 160,000 troops, but..."
Speaking of this, Xu You stopped. He Jin understood what Xu You meant, but he didn't know what to do. So He Jin smiled and asked, "I wonder what Ziyuan has to say about this matter?"
"It's better to cut off one of his ten fingers than to hurt him!" Xu You said with a smile: "Although the general has many troops, not all of them can be mobilized. Instead of controlling so many troops and making your majesty suspicious, why not separate a few and maybe be able to mobilize them?
Annex the champion's troops!"
"How to divide the troops to annex the champion's troops?" He Jinjin became interested. He has always been troubled by the army. You know, as a general, he actually does not have the ability to be a general. Luoyang's army is 200,000, but he can
Commanding 50,000 would be pretty good!
"This is easy!" Xu You said with a smile: "The general can suggest to your majesty that the troops in Luoyang be separated, and the general only retains the troops that can be commanded, and let others fight for the rest. Maybe someone can fight for it.
, the general only needs to win over one general to serve you! Even if you can't win over, isn't there still Mr. Yuan?"
"This..." He Jin hesitated, after all, this meant devolving power from him.
"General, this is not about delegating power from your hands!" Xun You was also from a wealthy family. Naturally, he wanted to speak for Yuan Wei. Xun You laughed and said, "Those disobedient troops are placed in your hands.
In fact, it doesn’t belong to you at all. It looks scary but is useless. Why does Your Majesty want to cultivate champions? Isn’t it because you are too powerful? You can remove those disobedient troops. His Majesty is relieved of you, and you can too.
Having a truly obedient army has no harm at all. The only thing that makes you uncomfortable is that the power in your hands seems to be smaller!"
After He Jin heard Xun You's words, he fell into deep thought. Everyone was silent and stared at He Jin quietly. After a long time, He Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "In this case, I will suggest to Your Majesty
Establish the Eighth School Captain of Xiyuan. Initially, you can take charge of one school, but the post of the Commander-in-Chief School Captain must be given up."
Yuan Wei nodded. Although Sili Xiaowei was good, they were basically He Jin's people. It was worth exchanging him for Xiyuan Xiaowei, No. 1 Middle School. Of course, the most important thing was that He Jin agreed to establish Xiyuan No. 8.
School captain. By then, the Yuan family will control more than just one school. It is very likely that the eight school captains in Xiyuan will all be members of the Yuan family.
The next day, He Jin indeed raised the matter of the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan at the court meeting. If Liu Hong or Zhang Rang raised this matter, it was because they wanted to reduce He Jin's power. You know, Liu Hong and Zhang Rang had already
We were discussing the establishment of the Eighth Academy of Xiyuan, but now it was He Jin who proposed it, which puzzled Liu Hong and Zhang Rang.
"Marquis Champion, do you think the general's suggestion is acceptable?" Liu Hong couldn't understand, but found Liu Zhang watching the show aside, so he asked aloud.
"That's right!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I suggest that Jian Shuo be the captain of the military academy, and that he be in charge of all the armies, and be directly under your Majesty's command!"
"Uh..." He Jin was dumbfounded. If Liu Zhang did what he did, most of his power would be taken away. He Jin quickly straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, what the champion said is totally wrong! Since he is the president
Soldiers and generals must be evaluated at all levels. They must not only have martial arts, but also know the art of war. Otherwise, even a reckless man or eunuch can act as a general. Wouldn't it look like I am a big man with no one?"
As soon as He Jin said this, many people agreed. After all, there are many generals who can fight, but not many are literate. Most of the generals who are both literate and good at fighting come from aristocratic families, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are eight out of ten.
Nine come from aristocratic families.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Hong didn't know how to make a decision. Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in this case, why not let all the generals in the court sign up and take the exam! The first level is to test the general strategy and let the generals
Everyone expresses his or her own opinion, and the second level is a test of martial arts, which is a competition of skills. When the time comes, Your Majesty will select the top eight as captains!"
Zhang Rang asked under Liu Hong's instruction: "How to determine the candidates for the assessment?"
"This is easy to hear!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "All generals with the rank of captain and above can participate in the selection. The first test is to test the generals first. I think many people will be rejected. The second test is the martial arts test.
Relaxed!"
"Then how to select?" Zhang Rang asked again.
Liu Zhang replied: "In the first round, your Majesty, my brother, and the general can make a selection to select the outstanding general. Of course, we can all bring our own staff, but no one who participates in the selection is allowed."
Participate in the school examination of the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan. As for the second level, there is a competition in martial arts. The winner will be decided on the school field, but no life will be hurt!"
"The champion is indeed very resourceful!" He Jin was very happy because Liu Zhang asked him to be one of the judges, but he didn't know that Liu Zhang was sincerely trying to embarrass him. He Jin just killed pigs and sold meat and didn't read much.
He knows a few words and became a general through nepotism. He would be damned if he knew general strategy.
"Okay! Just follow what the general and the champion said!" Seeing that He Jin agreed to Liu Zhang's suggestion, Liu Hong immediately made the decision because he believed that Liu Zhang would not let him down.
