Chapter 520 General He Jin’s suggestion
Beigong, Chongde Hall
Passing through the numerous palace curtains, passing through the re-road between the north and south palaces, passing through the Jinshang Gate and other palace gates,
A tall and handsome man walked into the palace under the guidance of his close servants in the palace.
The man has a tall figure, clear facial features, a tall nose bridge, white skin as jade, and looks very handsome.
Apart from her thin lips and looking a little lucky, she has no shortcomings.
The almost perfect facial features make people unable to see them at first sight.
Needless to say, this person is naturally the general He Jin who was just summoned into the palace.
In most eyes, He Jin should be a big belly, a rough-looking butcher, and has no mind.
In the mythical world, it is obvious that this general He Jin is still very handsome.
In fact, the real He Jin is obviously not ugly either.
He Jin was originally a butcher, but because his sister married into the palace and was named a noble person, and later named a queen, he was able to be promoted step by step.
As a pig-killing butcher, He Jin's sister, Empress Dowager He, was favored by Liu Hong, and even received special favor among many palace maids and beauties who wanted to be favored by Liu Hong.
With obviously it is impossible for him to be his own family power, but naturally his own beauty.
Liu Hong favors Empress He so much, which shows that Empress He is a very charming and extremely beautiful person.
There are records in historical books that Queen He is tall and fair in her skin.
He Jin's grandson, He Yan, is also a famous handsome man, who has left behind the famous allusion of He Langfu's fan.
He Yan is talking about his handsome appearance and likes to dress up. His face is delicate and white, unparalleled.
Therefore, Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui suspected that a thick layer of white powder was applied to his face.
Once, in summer, Emperor Ming of Wei brought him a man and rewarded him with hot noodle soup.
After a while, he was sweating profusely and had to use the clothes he was wearing to wipe his sweat. But after he wiped his sweat, his face turned paler, and Emperor Ming then believed that he had not applied powder.
This He Yan is a novice.
Obviously, He Jin, who is related to Queen Mother He and He Yan, is obviously impossible to be ugly, and he deserves the title of "Song Yu," as a pig.
As soon as the handsome and handsome man, General He Jin entered the hall, he knelt down and started shouting long live the mountain, and did his best to be a minister.
Seeing Liu Hong, who was behind the curtain of the tent, could not help but nodded slightly.
The handsome man in front of him is his wife's brother after all.
The relationship is far and very similar to that of a person. If you don’t trust this person, who else can you trust?
Queen Mother He is Liu Hong's empress, and can be said to be favored by the harem. Although there were once Wang Meiren and others, they could not resist the attachment to Queen Mother He.
Even if it is beautiful Wang, it is a thing of the past.
The world is not yet determined. If you want Bian'er to live a stable life in the future, this person will be indispensable!
Thinking of this in my heart, I had less suspicion about this general before.
"I have been in a whim recently and want to recruit a new army in Luoyang City, called Xiyuan Army. What do you think?" After Liu Hong saw He Jin enter the hall, he immediately gave him a seat with a smile and went straight to the topic.
He Jin was shocked when he heard this.
Now the Sanhe Cavalry in Luoyang City, the Northern Army's Five Clans also have the Imperial Guards Hu Ben Guards, and the Yulin Guards are now completely under the jurisdiction of General He Jin.
At this time, Liu Hong said that he wanted to recruit a new army in Luoyang City, so the purpose was naturally unnecessary. There was no other intention, which was to weaken his dominant military power in Luoyang City.
He knew the temper of the man in front of him well, and it was difficult to change what Liu Hong decided to do.
He couldn't help but say, "I heard that after the patriarchs of several major prefectures were sent out, most of the places have now been pacified, and now they are suddenly going to recruit new troops.
I think this matter is too wasteful and financially, and I need to think carefully about the decision.”
Behind the curtain, Liu Hong frowned slightly when he heard this and said displeasedly: "The General's words are wrong. Although the world has been settled recently, bandits are still causing chaos in various places.
The rebels' rebellion caused heavy losses to the Northern Army. Luozhong's troops were empty. I have decided, so my dear, no need to say more!"
"The holy will has been decided, and I have nothing to say. But it is an extremely important event to set up a new army to take charge of the army.
Military power matters, about the safety of the court, you cannot find someone to decide at will. You must also ask Your Majesty to think twice and choose a candidate well." He Jin said respectfully, his words full of loyalty.
Zhang Rang, who was accompanying the side, couldn't help but frown tightly, and secretly sighed in his heart that He Jin meant to retreat to advance.
Since Liu Hong's intention to establish the Xiyuan Army cannot be changed, then start with the Xiyuan Army.
He Jin was appointed as a general because of his relatives, and was ordered to suppress the Yellow Turban bandits and help the Hanoi prefect Zhu Ye defeat the Black Mountain Army.
Although he is not as good as the General Ye Tian of the Cavalry, he is also a powerful figure.
Now in Luoyang City, the military power is extremely strong. Seeing that it is becoming more and more powerful in the court, it can even faintly threaten the ten eunuchs' status in front of the Spirit Emperor
Of course, he is definitely not a simple person, and his scheming is very unusual.
Behind the curtain and bead curtain, Liu Hong's somewhat lazy voice came out: "I already have some advice in my heart. I see that the little yellow sect Jian Shuo and Kong are powerful and skillful in the military and horse. He is a master at the level of a master of martial arts.
He is also a close servant of the inner court, and he is loyal to me. I want to order him to take charge of the new army in Xiyuan. What is the general’s opinion on this?"
He Jin was surprised when he heard this. Although Jian Shuo was known for his bravery, he was not an ordinary eunuch.
But it is too ridiculous to have a eunuch who serves as the leader of the Xiyuan Army.
However, Liu Hong's intention has been decided, and He Jin does not intend to go against Liu Hong's wishes.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If Your Majesty wants to form the Xiyuan Army, it is naturally a good choice, but it is not good to let Jian Shuo control the army after all.
Since ancient times, there have been no examples of eunuchs in charge of the army. Once this example is opened, there will be trouble in the future."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Rang was displeased and interrupted: "We are slaves of the emperor and are loyal to His Majesty. How could there be any disaster?"
When He Jin saw Zhang Rang interrupting, he felt a little angry and couldn't help but scold: "Military power matters are related to the country, how can you eunuchs interfere?"
"He Suigao, you!…………You talk nonsense..."
When Zhang Rang heard this, he was furious, but due to He Jin's special identity, it was difficult to refute.
When Liu Hong saw that his two close ministers had a conflict, he immediately stopped the quarrel between them.
He asked He Jin: "Since you said that Jian Shuo was the commander of the Xiyuan Army a lot, what good opinions do you have?"
After thinking for a moment, He Jin said, "I have no objection to setting up a new army in Xiyuan to strengthen the military strength. But the eunuchs must not be left to the new army alone.
It would be impossible for Your Majesty to really want Jian Shuo to be the leader of the Xiyuan Army.
I believe that it is necessary to select talented people from the court and join the Xiyuan Army together, with Jian Shuo as the leader of the new army, and with talented people from other dynasties as the auxiliary.
Only by letting these people restrain each other can we ensure that the new army will not be exploited by traitors.”
When Liu Hong heard this, what He Jin said was indeed reasonable, and he couldn't help but sigh that He Jin had two tricks.
In this way, Jian Shuo can be checked and balanced, and he will not be able to cause trouble.
Even if Jian Shuo becomes rebellious and causes trouble, he will not harm the court.
Secondly, it can also block the mouths of those aristocratic families and clear streamers.
There are talented people from aristocratic families among the new army, so they can't object to the establishment of the new army."
Liu Hong immediately agreed, "He Qing is right, just do what you said. You are the general. I heard that there are many wise talents in your mansion. You can also recommend one or two specific talents."
He Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter, and there are even more urgent things in front of us."
Liu Hong asked in confusion: "Oh, what's the matter that you're talking about more urgent?"
He Jin replied lightly: "Report to Your Majesty, that is naturally the situation of establishing a new army.
The establishment of a new army requires soldiers, but now the Northern Army’s Sanhe and Five Schools have long been destroyed.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest have suffered heavy losses.
As for the Hu Ben Guard and the Yulin Guard, they are imperial guards and cannot be used easily.
Although there are other troops from Jinwu, the city gate lieutenant and others, these troops are insufficient and they are embarrassed to have great responsibilities.
Since we want to form a new army, we naturally have to recruit soldiers from all over the country."
Liu Hong pondered for a moment, and He Jin really made sense. Although the Three Rivers and Five Schools were victorious in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest,
As for the Hu Ben Guards and Yulin Guards in Luoyang City, they are imperial guards and cannot be incorporated into the Xiyuan Army.
The remaining troops of Jinwu, the city gate lieutenant, the eight gate lieutenant, etc. were too few, but the troops were insufficient.
When setting up a new army, what leader and who is the captain will be the next thing to do is to be the next thing. The most important thing is to be the soldiers.
Where did this soldier come from? It was to be summoned from everywhere.
But he is not familiar with military affairs and does not know the inside story.
Then he asked He Jin: "He Qing said so much, how should we recruit soldiers?"
He Jin replied respectfully: "In my opinion, we are recruiting soldiers from the troops of the counties and states in the mainland, and we can also recruit warriors from border counties from all over the country. Among the three major military regions on the border of the Han court, there are many elite warriors.
Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, had many soldiers and warriors. In my opinion, they could enter the capital."
Zhang Rang, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown and thought. It seemed that He Jin's purpose was the soldiers of these border counties.
In this way, Jian Shuo could not completely control the entire Xiyuan Army.
Suddenly he felt that the general was not simple, and even if the Xiyuan Army was established, it was established.
The complex situation is difficult for Jian Shuo to control. Jian Shuo was born as a eunuch after all, and his reputation is insufficient.
However, when Liu Hong heard this sentence, he nodded in agreement.
Under such circumstances, it is very correct to ask several major military regions to send people to form a new army.
At present, if these soldiers from border counties can summon them into the capital, it will be a great help.
Especially Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, was Liu Hong's confidant.
If anyone else said that, if it were Ding Yuan, he would definitely support himself in forming the Xiyuan New Army.
