At the end of July, large troops in Luoyang gathered in the capital.

This group of troops not only included troops sent by Guo Peng, but also troops sent by other forces. For example, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, sent Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang to the capital at this time.

Afterwards, Emperor Ling officially announced a large military parade, calling himself the "Supreme General" and personally riding a horse with his sword and armor, which looked very majestic.

After the military parade, He Jin thought that there should be no problem like this, but Emperor Ling suddenly threw a big bomb.

He wanted to form a new army, whose name was Xiyuan Army, and He Jin asked him to select elite soldiers and hand them over to Xiyuan Army as backbone, and then the rest would recruit strong men from around Luoyang to join the army.

Join the Emperor's Personal Army.

The Xiyuan Army regarded Emperor Ling himself as the supreme commander and obeyed the emperor's orders. What he wanted to do? Those who understand could see it at a glance.

But no one can stop the emperor recruiting troops, but you still won’t let him go?

He Jin followed Emperor Ling's orders and then learned about the specific configuration and personnel arrangements of this Xiyuan Army.

The Xiyuan Army must be divided into eight battalions, each battalion has a captain to command its army, known as the eight captains of Xiyuan.

Among them, the candidate who was responsible for commanding the entire Xiyuan Army and directly obeyed the emperor's orders had already come out of Xiaohuangmen, Jian Shuo.

That's right, it's Jian Shuo who was beaten to death by Cao Cao.

Among the eunuchs, he was the strongest in body, the highest force, and the most familiar with military affairs.

In order to hold this army firmly in his hands, Emperor Ling gave the highest position to his confidant eunuch Jian Shuo.

What made He Jin even more embarrassed and dissatisfied was that Jian Shuo, the position of military captain, even the general had to obey his instructions.

On the surface, Jian Shuo only commanded the Xiyuan Army, but it means that the entire capital army must obey Jian Shuo's instructions, that is, obey the orders of Emperor Ling behind Jian Shuo.

You said it would be fine if it was an ordinary person, but this guy was a eunuch. He Jin was really angry, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

Because Emperor Ling next announced the candidates for the other seven lieutenants, He Jin was surprised to find that these seven people were not just Ling Emperor's own people, Ling Emperor was playing checks and balances.

Yuan Shao, the general of the Hu Ben, was appointed as the captain of the Central Army, Bao Hong, the captain of the Tunqi, and Cao Cao, the captain of the Dianjun.

Zhao Rong, a scholar from Liangzhou, was also appointed as the left lieutenant of the army, Feng Fang, the son-in-law of the eunuch, as the right lieutenant of the army, and Xia Mou, the former official of the Yuan family, was the left lieutenant of the Yuan family, and Chunyu Qiong, the former official of the Yuan family, was the right lieutenant.

The groups of the eight lieutenants belonged to different groups, which avoided the army being won over by a certain group to the greatest extent, thus becoming the sword of the royal family.

He Jin had no choice but to do anything about this, and the others also had their own opinions. Cao Cao was simply relieved.

Finally, I was able to return to the Central Committee to become an official, and I finally returned to the Central Committee. I didn’t have to listen to Cao Song’s silly thoughts at home every day.

Cao Cao packed his luggage and set off for Luoyang. From then on, he was involved in the tide of the late Han Dynasty and could not extricate himself.

If the establishment of the Xiyuan Army and Jian Shuo's coming from behind only made He Jin angry, then the next move of Emperor Ling was to make He Jin not eat well or sleep well, and he would be scared to wake up in the middle of the night.

Emperor Ling ordered Dong Chong to be promoted to General of the Cavalry, and the throne was only under He Jin, so he was able to open a government office.

He Jin exploded on the spot when he learned about it.

What exactly is Ling Emperor going to do?!

If someone else was to be the General of the Cavalry, He Jin would not have had such a big reaction, but Dong Chong would not do it.

The reason is very simple. Dong Chong is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling, and is also a relative of the foreigner.

Empress Dowager Dong is the raising man of Liu Xie, another son of Emperor Ling.

Empress He was jealous of Liu Xie's biological mother, Meiren Wang, so she killed Meiren, which made Emperor Ling furious and ordered Liu Xie to be handed over to Empress Dowager Dong to raise.

Then over the years, Emperor Ling has always loved Liu Xie very much and is very distant to Empress He's son Liu Bian.

Almost everyone who knows a little about the system, including He Jin, realized that Emperor Ling might have thought of abolishing the elders and establishing the young people.

He Jin was immediately scared and felt a little uncontrollable. Everyone in the General's Mansion could see He Jin's panic.

The He Jin family has a weak background and is very afraid of imperial power.

At the critical moment, Yuan Shao stood up.

"Don't bother with Ming Gong. Since ancient times, deposing the eldest son and establishing the young children is a way to cause disaster. In the past, Emperor Gao wanted to deposing the eldest son and establishing the young children. The four old men of Shangshan sat next to the crown prince, and Emperor Gao had no choice but to do anything.

Even Emperor Gao has no choice but to do anything, how can the emperor do things against the hearts of the world? What's more, Ming Gong has been serving as a general for several years and has a deep foundation, so how can a mere Dong Chong fight against it?"

Yuan Shao stood on He Jin's side with a clear stand. He Jin was immediately moved and held Yuan Shao's hand tightly.

"I feel relieved if I have Benchu's words!"

So Yuan Shao gained He Jin's deeper trust. Basically, He Jin would discuss everything with Yuan Shao first, and then discuss with others.

Not to mention the people from other generals' mansions, even Yuan Shu couldn't stand such things.

But I had no choice but to let Yuan Shao stand up and support He Jin?

Cao Cao has often entered and exited the General's Mansion in recent days. Seeing that He Jin's trust in Yuan Shao is increasing day by day, he thinks this is not a good thing.

He always felt that Yuan Shao had some purpose that was not known to others, and this purpose might be very terrible.

He and Yuan Shao have different status and background.

When I was young, I could still make friends, steal and indulge in it.

However, as he grows older and has different mastery of resources, Cao Cao obviously found that Yuan Shao and he are no longer from the same world.

He is the son of the family of the Three Dukes of the Four Generations and is very likely to reach a high position in the future. Cao Cao was able to join the ranks of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan thanks to Yuan Shao's recommendation. Otherwise, the eunuchs would not be willing to put Cao Cao in.

Especially Jian Shuo, who also had a grudge against Cao Cao for killing his uncle. It is conceivable that if Yuan Shao had not supported him, Cao Cao would have been so sad.

So Cao Cao often wrote letters to Guo Peng, telling Guo Peng about his depression and helplessness, and at the same time he expressed his concerns about the future situation.

These letters are very important evidence for Guo Peng's understanding of the situation in Luoyang. Therefore, Guo Peng confirmed that there are fierce changes in Luoyang.

Emperor Ling planned to support Dong's relatives and some eunuchs who had close contact with Dong's family.

Give them power, let them expand their power, and then use this to become a force to support Liu Xie's rise to power, ensuring that Liu Xie can be the emperor after he dies.

The main contradiction in Luoyang during this period was the conflict of the supreme power struggle between the Dong family's relatives and the He family's relatives.

In this way, it seems that the Ling Emperor doesn’t have a long lifespan, right?

He died in his thirties and his children were only in his teens. In such a chaotic situation in the world, how could a minor emperor appear?

But for an ambitious thief like Guo, this is a great thing.

Mr. Guo has begun to imagine what will happen at that time in the future, and he has begun to imagine the moment of chaos in the world.

What should I do, how to plan, what should I do if something goes wrong, plan a, plan b, plan c, and all have spare tire plans, etc.

He was alone in Shanggu, watching the topographic map around Luoyang that he had secretly obtained, constantly deducing various possible results, and planning ways to achieve the best interests for himself.

This kind of thing can only be thought about by himself, no one can tell him, even Cheng Li is the same.

At the same time, Guo Peng accelerated the pace of exploiting Shanggu County's potential, and increasingly transported various important combat preparation materials to Qiao County, waiting for that moment to arrive.

The Xiyuan Army was practicing here, and the world continued to be in chaos.

In October, the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou returned to their resurgence and Xuzhou faced a crisis.

Therefore, the imperial court selected Tao Qian, who had once been on the battlefield in Liangzhou, to become the governor of Xuzhou, and airborne him in Xuzhou to pacify the Yellow Turbans of Xuzhou.

In November, the imperial court sent the army captain Bao Hong to lead the army to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Gepi, Runan, but Bao Hong failed to win.

Fortunately, the Xiliang war achieved some results, Huangfu Song led his army to gain some advantages on the battlefield, and the situation in Xiliang has been stabilized for the time being.
