Chapter 107 General Selection

In less than a year, two successive Grand Tutors resigned, which is considered a rare event.

For officials of all sizes in the imperial court, although this incident was a bit strange, it was not surprising. For the people under the imperial court, who became the Taifu had no impact on them at all.

And for some scholars who disliked Liu Xuan, it was just one more incident that could attack the stupid emperor of today. They could still only talk nonsense in the public, and it was difficult to really have any real impact on the court.

Sexual influence.

At the same time, there were mixed reactions within the imperial court to Wang Yun's departure. The ministers of the emperor's faction naturally didn't care. Wang Yun and they were not the same travelers in the first place, but now that he could leave on his own initiative, it saved a lot of trouble.

For some veterans headed by Wang Yun, they were trapped in the embarrassing situation of being leaderless. In addition, the emperor's recent decrees were becoming more and more difficult for them to understand. However, after these decrees were issued, no one would really be able to go.

execution, which makes their situation even more embarrassing.

With Wang Yun's departure, these people became even more flustered, fearing that if they continued like this without waiting for their resignation, they would be devalued because they had no achievements, and thus stay away from the center of the Han Dynasty.

"This situation must change!"

Almost everyone is thinking this in their hearts, but how to change it? How to change it? They never have a clue, and among them are some officials from aristocratic families who rarely go out to check and just hang out in their own small circle.

obvious.

At this time, although Liu Xuan knew their pain, he had no intention of lending a helping hand.

"If these people are more conscious, they should resign as soon as possible, and maybe they can take the opportunity to become a rich man!"

Nowadays, civil affairs are in ruins and it is impossible for Liu Xuan to keep everything in the hands of the court. As long as these people have sharper eyes and follow the right direction, they can earn more wealth than they can spend in several lifetimes and leave it to future generations.

It's not difficult.

But if you keep trying hard in the court, you will probably get nothing in the end - not only will you no longer be able to work as an official, you will not even have the chance to make money.

Nowadays, with the official issuance of coins and the development of animal husbandry, although the brewing industry is still under the supervision of the court, it is almost a matter of time that it is gradually released to private operations.

At the same time, the rise in people's living standards has also made every household have surplus money. Liu Xuan cannot sit back and watch this wealth continue to accumulate among the people. He must find ways to stimulate the circulation of wealth - not that this can form a healthy financial system.

But if people always hold on to their money and don’t spend it, many industries will not be able to develop.

What's more, when people have something to do and have enough entertainment activities to satisfy their spiritual needs, they won't think about messy things.

"By the way, Taifu Wang has resigned from office to retire, so who does Your Majesty intend to appoint to take over the position of Taifu?"

Originally, none of Liu Xuan's women were interested in things like court, military strategy, etc., but Liu Xuan spent all day doing this. He himself was not very accomplished in some traditional literature, so he chatted with them.

It is inevitable that these things will be talked about when.

When it came to Wang Yun's resignation, Cai Yan asked curiously.

I don't necessarily have any ideas, just pure curiosity.

As far as she knows so far, there are fewer and fewer veterans in the court, and the lack of veterans means that most of them are young people who do not have enough prestige. However, the position of the Tutor is too high, and those with insufficient prestige may not be able to convince the public.

After thinking about it, maybe only a few people such as Ma Rixi and Zhao Qi can meet the requirements. Even his father Cai Yong has not made much achievements in political affairs and is already extremely reluctant to be one of the three men. How is it possible?

Appointed as Taifu again?

Although the position of Taifu does not have any real power in his hands, he is only strong in this aspect. He is not responsible for anything specifically, which gives him the power to participate in various matters. Even the Taifu of Military Strategy can propose his own

The introduction is for the emperor’s reference.

Therefore, ordinary people really can't be in this position.

Liu Xuan thought for a while, and among the civil servants and generals in his hands, there were not none who were suitable for Taifu. Among them, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, etc. were all suitable.

But Liu Bei himself had decided that he would take over Zongzheng Temple and be responsible for royal affairs.

Cao Cao is currently focused on the military and cannot get away from it.

Guo Jia and Liu Ye have insufficient qualifications and prestige, so it is basically impossible to use their own people for the position of Taifu.

And using an old man? The old man has no effect, so Liu Xuan made a decision from the very beginning when he received Wang Yun's memorial: the post of Grand Tutor is temporarily vacant, and no one should think about it!

"There is currently no suitable person, and that position does not have to be filled by anyone, so just leave it vacant for now!"

When Liu Xuan said this, Cai Yan naturally didn't ask again. She just asked casually on the spur of the moment, and she didn't care whether Liu Xuan answered or not.

"By the way, there will be another war next year, right?"

Diao Chan looked at Liu Xuan. Although she knew that Liu Xuan was very powerful, she was still a little worried when she thought about how powerful he really was.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Seeing Diao Chan's worried look, Liu Xuan smiled and comforted her.

Although the court seemed calm, the preparations for war were not concealed at all. I believe that not only everyone in the court knew about it, but even the princes in Jiangdong, Hebei and other places also knew that the court was preparing for a large-scale war.

Yuan Shao also responded to this - almost immediately after stabilizing Youzhou, he recruited soldiers and trained them. At the same time, he sent his generals Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chunyu Qiong, and Qu Yi to several places respectively.

The key point is to prevent the imperial court from suddenly sending troops to catch him by surprise.

In addition, there has been almost no news related to Yuan Shao himself in recent times. Liu Xuan guessed that this must be related to Zuo Ci, but he didn't know what this guy was doing.

Because Zuo Ci was different from Nan Hua, he really couldn't think of any means Zuo Ci would use to go against him.

For the power of faith, Nanhua wanted to use the power of countless believers to improve his strength in order to reach a higher level, but Zuo Ci believed in escaping from the world and cultivating in secret, and he had almost no knowledge of the power of faith.

need.

Without cultivating the power of faith, he would not 'give' his followers or subordinates powers beyond ordinary people through himself like Nan Hua did. Then Yuan Shaojun would still be just an ordinary prince, and his soldiers would still be ordinary people.

"Can this kind of guy really stop the imperial army?"

While he was puzzled, Liu Xuan also became a little more careful. Since Zuo Ci has been steadily suppressing Nan Hua, he must have a unique ability. But he can't look down on this guy just because he is a more powerful immortal.

, and then capsized in the gutter.

Therefore, during this period, while stepping up the collection of information about Hebei, he also focused on improving his own cultivation. At the same time, he also urged his generals to practice hard.

Among them is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who just came here to join him!

Although Zhao Yun came with Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun was assigned to the Forbidden Army as soon as he arrived in the capital, and he started basic training. All treatment seemed to be no different from that of a regular Forbidden Army captain, but in fact, he had been classified as a captain.

For one of the emperor's trusted generals.

Several generals under Liu Xuan knew this, so they took more care of Zhao Yun. For example, Huang Zhong introduced Zhao Yun to live next door to him. At the same time, Liu Bei also ran over from time to time to see if Zhao Yun was adapting.

adapt.

Of course, these two people are worthy of being Liu Xuan's cronies. Every time they talk to Zhao Yun, they will explicitly or implicitly express that Zhao Yun will receive such treatment because of the emperor's instructions, and the emperor values ​​you very much.

Although these words would not make Zhao Yun burst into tears of gratitude or even kill him in return, they would still be a kind of kindness, at least they would not make him feel uncomfortable staying in the court and want to leave.

Except for Zhao Yun, the other generals have been serving in the Forbidden Army for quite some time, but Liu Xuan and Cao Cao are still discussing whether to make some transfers.

For example, will Xia Houyuan, who has been guarding Xiegu, be transferred back to participate in this battle?

Liu Xuan felt that it was really inappropriate to leave such a general in such a corner. Transferring him back would also give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, but who would take over the defense of Xiegu became another problem.

"I thought that if Li Dian, Le Jin, and Pang De took over, they would immediately lead the troops to join Wei Xu and Zang Ba in Tianshui, so that they could take care of the direction of the Xiegu Valley!"

After thinking for a while, Guo Jia gave his own suggestions. These three people have recently joined the Forbidden Army for a relatively short time. Although they have begun to practice, they are obviously not suitable to directly participate in next year's war.

There is no doubt that next year's battle will be dominated by the three elite troops of Yu Lin, Huben and Hubao, supplemented by the Forbidden Army, and the main force will be generals who have been with the emperor for a long time.

For those who have just defected, I am afraid that except for Gongsun Zan who will go with the army because he is familiar with Hebei and Northeast China, most of them will work on the second line even when they go on an expedition - that is, escorting supplies from the rear to the front while maintaining the security of the occupied area.

Stable.

Instead of doing this, it is better to let a few more talented people lead and guard one side alone, which can be regarded as a bit of experience. At the same time, their abilities also ensure that even if something unexpected happens, they can cope with it, so that they will not have to fight again in the future.

Chaos arises, resulting in the inability to take care of both parties.

Liu Xuan finally agreed to this suggestion. In this case, the generals who will participate in the Battle of Hebei next year have basically been determined.

Cao Cao will undoubtedly be the commander-in-chief, but Lu Bu may not participate in this war.

In addition to the commanding generals and lieutenants of the four elite troops and horses, there are also generals Xia Houyuan, generals Pi, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Xia Houdun and a group of lieutenants: Xia Houen, Yu Jin, Yang Ding, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian, Cao

Germany will participate in this war.

As for the strength of the troops, Liu Xuan would not use too many, and he would only have more than 100,000 to support him. Maybe they are very small compared to Yuan Shao's army of nearly one million, but if they really fight, they will find that even if both sides mobilize their troops and fight head-on,

In a confrontation, even those one million troops would not be able to take advantage of them at all.

After all this work, autumn has passed, and the arrival of winter is like the last calm before the storm. At the same time, Zhang Ji brought himself and Huang Chengyan's family to Chang'an.
