Han Dao world

There was a flash of unhappiness in Han Sui's eyes, and then he regained his composure, without any abnormalities.

With a glance, Zang Hong saw a list on the case, in which his name was vaguely included, and he couldn't help feeling tense, and became a little more cautious.

After taking his seat, Liu Xie asked Zang Hong some things on the road, and then signaled that Zang Hong could withdraw.

Zang Hong left the imperial camp, but did not leave, and waited at a distance.

After a while, Shi Sunrui and Han Sui came out side by side, discussing something while walking.After leaving the camp, seeing Zang Hong waiting at the side, Han Sui nodded with a smile, got on his horse, and left with his personal guards.

Shi Sun Rui didn't say much, and signaled Zang Hong to get on his horse and go back to the camp together.

"Ziyuan is in Yanmen, can he receive a report from the imperial court?" Shi Sun Rui asked seemingly casually.

"Have everything you need."

"Then what do you think of General Fujun's prevention of the autumn floods last year?"

Zang Hong understood. "The general of the Fu army has worked hard to help the local area prevent autumn floods." There was no respect in the words.

"That's all?"

"Also ask Master Sun Gong to give advice."

Shi Sun Rui turned his head to look at Zang Hong and sighed. "If Yuan Shao was besieging Pengcheng, the general of the Fu army sent his troops to the east, do you think he can pacify the Guandong?"

Zang Hong kept silent.

"Ziyuan, you have been in northern Xinjiang for several years, and you have cultivated yourself. You are no longer frivolous yesterday. You are not the teacher of tigers and wolves in the past. You can no longer treat people with prejudice, especially the general of Fujun. To prevent autumn floods, It seems to be a little effort, but it is the foundation of kingship. General Fu Jun can be the first in the world, and he can be a model for all armies, you and I must learn from it."

Zang Hong nodded, but did not speak.

Shi Sunrui frowned slightly, and smacked his lips. "You are waiting for me here because of my discussion with His Majesty, right? Did you see your name?"

Zang Hong smiled.He couldn't take the initiative to bring up this matter, but he believed that Sun Rui should understand his reason for coming.

Shi Sunrui said unhurriedly: "The Son of Heaven plans to rebuild the Eighth School. It originally had your name, but you don't have to think about it now. I think you have to work hard for a few more years."

Zang Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I also ask Mr. Sun Gong for advice."

"Your eyesight is very good, but your eyesight is not good." Shi Sun Rui raised his horsewhip and said with a sneer, "Although the world of Yanmen is vast, it has not allowed you to open your eyes and break your barriers."

Zang Hong's face turned pale immediately, and then flushed again.

Shi Sunrui's words were very serious, as if he had poured a basin of cold water on him, extinguishing most of his ambitions.

He opened his mouth to speak several times, but finally swallowed it back.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your lesson."

Sun Rui's color is slightly slower. "The eight schools are the elite of the imperial army, the pillars of the country, and only gentlemen with gentle manners can be them. Ziyuan, a gentleman should be cautious about his independence. He must reflect on himself three times a day, and he must not slack off for a day."

"Here." Zang Hong bowed to accept the instruction.

Shi Sun Rui raised his whip to signal Zang Hong not to follow, and left with his personal guards.

Zang Hong stood by the roadside, watching Shi Sun Rui and his party disappear into the distance, feeling lost.

-

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised when scholar Sun Rui proposed to delete Zang Hong from the list of candidates for the eight schools.

After listening to Shi Sun Rui's explanation, Liu Xie thought for a long time.

It is true that Zang Hong has deep prejudices.

But according to Shi Sunrui's standards, I'm afraid they won't be able to get the places for the eight schools.

So he suspected that Sun Rui had other intentions, which was a roundabout way to oppose the rebuilding of the eight schools.

Although he didn't explicitly say that these eight schools were the eight schools of Xiyuan, but he was optimistic and summoned soldiers from all directions, which was obviously deliberate.

Emperor Xiaoling built the Xiyuan Army back then, just to seize military power from General He Jin.General He Jin is a foreign relative, but behind him is a scholar-bureaucrat headed by Yuan Shao.As a member of the scholar-officials, it is reasonable for Shi Sunrui to have resistance to this.

What's more, the dream of Shi Sun Rui and others is that the power belongs to the Sangong. He himself is the hope of the Taiwei to take over the military power.

During the discussion, Shi Sun Rui was far less active than Han Sui.

Now that he proposes such a standard, it is tantamount to a problem.

In terms of appearance, Zang Hong looks dignified, with the appearance of a minister.In terms of virtue, Zang Hongyi Bo Yuntian is famous all over the world.In terms of ability, Zang Hong also made great achievements in battle, and he was powerful in northern Xinjiang.

If Zang Hong couldn't be listed in the eight schools because of his prejudice against Xiliang people, how many other people can meet the requirements?

Apart from Xiliang people themselves, how many people have no prejudice against Xiliang people?

Even the Xiliang people disagreed internally and could not get used to each other.

He had been scratching his head for a long time for the list of the eight captains, and finally picked out a few good ones. Now that Shi Sun Rui made such a move, he was afraid that he would become a mess again.

"Scholars and Sungongs are well-intentioned, which is naturally good. It's just that this standard is higher than the selection of the three princes, and I'm afraid it's a bit too strict." Liu Xie smiled softly: "Speaking of prejudice against Xiliang people, I'm afraid not only Zang Hong alone."

Chapter 837

Being criticized by Liu Xie without showing any trace, Shi Sun Rui was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.

"Prejudice misleads people, I am worried that it will affect the relationship between the eight captains."

"Gentlemen are harmonious but different. I believe that although Zang Hong has prejudices, he will not harm the public with selfishness." Liu Xie waved his hand to signal scholar Sun Rui not to worry. "Besides, there will be some fights between the eight schools. If there is harmony, it will be difficult to deal with."

Shi Sun Rui opened his mouth, unable to say anything more.

"I know that some people will think that rebuilding the Eighth School is to realize the unfinished will of the late emperor. I can't say that it is meaningless, but this Eighth School is definitely not a reappearance of the Eighth School in Xiyuan, at least there will be no such thing as eunuchs in charge of soldiers." It happened."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he sighed.

Shi Sun Rui's heart tightened, and the words of objection came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.

The Son of Heaven is reminding him that he has already made concessions, so don't go too far and force him to turn his face.

At that time, Emperor Xiaoling established the Xiyuan Army and appointed Jian Shuo as the captain of the army. In addition to competing with He Jin for military power, he also had the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.

Before Emperor Xiaoling passed away, he still did not give up and entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo, hoping that Jian Shuo would have the opportunity to support Liu Xie.

For Liu Xie, scholar-bureaucrats were opponents, and eunuchs were supporters.In order to compromise with the scholar-officials, the emperor took the initiative to abolish the eunuch system.If the scholar-bureaucrats pushed too hard and the emperor rebuilt the eunuch system, the loss would be great.

Liu Xie struck while the iron was hot and skipped Zang Hong from the candidate list and listed him as the first confirmed candidate for the eighth school lieutenant.

As for the position of the prefect of Yanmen, another arrangement will be made.

With Youyan Duhu and Yanran Duhu guarding the frontier, Yanmen has become an inner county, and there are many people who are qualified to be prefects, so there is no need for Zang Hong.

If it wasn't for Daijun and Shanggu that were near Danhan Mountain, the Governor of Youyan would need reinforcements from these two counties at any time. Liu Xie even wanted to call Zhang Liao and Gao Shun back.

The determination of Zang Hong is equivalent to the determination that the rebuilding of the Eighth School is imperative and should not be used for discussion.

The rest are the names, settings and other candidates of the eight schools.

With the Eighth School, there is no need for the original Fifth School of the Northern Army to exist.Captain Jujun of Shesheng and Captain Wei Jie of Infantry remained in their positions, and the others either transferred to their posts, or joined the Northern Army and became false captains and Sima.

Liu Xie plans to expand the number of schools to 5000. Only the school captain is not enough. It is necessary to set up fake school captains, Sima and other officials as deputies.

There are a total of 4 people in the eight schools, which is almost enough for the standing army of the capital.It's just that there are not so many people available right now, so the schools are not fully staffed, and they are fully charged, which is about [-].

For the remaining troops, Liu Xie plans to recruit from Guanzhong and Hedong.

In Guanzhong, there is the old Xiliang army recruited to surrender, in Hedong there is the Baibo army recruited, and the Xianbei people and Huns who are about to be naturalized are all good sources of troops, and it will definitely be no problem to pick out [-] elites.

Those who have permanent property have perseverance.These people all have permanent property, and their will to defend their homes and the country is stronger than ordinary people.

The source of troops is not a problem, but the competition for generals is fierce. Liu Xie issued an edict that the eight captains will be selected from the generals participating in the parade first, mainly based on personal ability and training level, regardless of family background and background.

As soon as the news came out, Ping Optimism became lively.

All the generals stepped up their training, and even those who didn't want to be the eighth school lieutenant, such as Sun Rui, Liu Bei, and Kuai Yue, dared not be careless. No one wanted to be at the bottom of the big review.

-

Sima Yi returned to Ping Optimism and brought Wulu, the representative of the Black Mountain Army.

Liu Xie met Wulu immediately.

Wulu told Liu Xie why they returned to Montenegro from Shangdang.

Initially responding to Zhong Yao's invitation, the Montenegro Army who entered the Shangdang did receive preferential treatment.Zhong Yao allocated their land, provided them with some seeds and agricultural tools, and asked the former general Duan Yao to allocate some ordnance to them, and usually helped them train.

But as more and more people joined the Shangdang, the conditions gradually changed.

At first, the land became less and less, and then there was no land at all, and Zhong Yao only allocated the grain and grass.However, the amount of food and grass is getting less and less. At first, they can still eat enough, but later they can only eat when they are fighting, and they usually have to discount it.Generally, [-]% to [-]% is given, and at least [-]% is given.

The Montenegrin Army is willing to go to the party. The biggest wish is to have their own land and have enough food.Now that the land is gone and food is not enough, some people give up and choose to return to Montenegro.

It happened that Yuan Shao suffered two setbacks in Pengcheng, so he had no time to take care of Heishan. The Heishan army cultivated themselves in the mountains. Although it was hard work, they were at ease.Seeing that the situation was gradually stabilizing and Yuan Shao was declining day by day, the courageous people went out of the mountains to cultivate in the area of ​​Dangyin and Chaoge.

There are county soldiers from Hanoi County stationed here. There have been some conflicts between the two sides, but overall it is still peaceful.

Among them, Sima Yi played a certain role.As a son of a wealthy family in Hanoi, he can not only influence the decisions of Dong Zhao and Dong Fang, but also have a certain deterrent effect on Pou and others, so he is the best mediator.

When Sima Yi brought the edict and rushed to the cottage to ask for security, Yu Du hardly hesitated, and immediately agreed, and sent Wulu to see him.

Wulu is a Taoist, he has just mastered pen and ink, and he also knows a little about the meaning of the "Taiping Jing". He is considered a scholar in the Montenegro Army, and his influence is second only to the generals such as Du and Kuyi.

After listening to Wulu's story, Liu Xie asked Wulu a question.

Does Shangdang really have no land, or does it have land, but it is in the hands of some people and refuses to take it out?

Wulu sighed after hearing this. "Shangdang is close to Yecheng, and Lord Zhongfu was afraid of causing civil strife. It is understandable for Yuan Shao to take advantage of it. Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan has repeatedly planned to attack the Shangdang, and even sent people to the Shangdang to contact the big clan, hoping to cooperate internally and externally. .”

"Shangdang's troops aren't enough?"

"There are a lot of troops, but..." Wulu showed embarrassment, and said after a long while: "We were originally opponents, but suddenly we became companions. No one dares to trust anyone easily. When fighting, we must not only guard against the enemy in front, but also It's actually not good to guard against the companions behind you."

Liu Xie glanced at Sima Yi, but said nothing.

He understood Zhong Yao's difficulties, but he also knew Zhong Yao's upper limit.

As a scholar-bureaucrat, it was not easy for Zhong Yao to achieve this step.It would be unrealistic for him to go one step further and combine Shangdang's county soldiers, the Xiliang Army led by Duan Wei, and the Montenegro Army to become comrades-in-arms who can trust each other.

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being too idealistic and not thinking well.

In fact, he had nothing better to do at the time.

"Whether Shangdang has land or not, let's talk about it. I will attack Yecheng, are you interested in going to Jizhou to farm?"

Wulu was overjoyed and blurted out. "Of course I would. The land in Jizhou is much stronger than that of Shangdang. There are large areas of flat land with sufficient water sources. It is a rare fertile land with a small effort and a lot of harvest."

Liu Xie turned to look at Sima Yi. "The judge is from Wei County, right?"

Sima Yi replied, "It's from Yin'an in Wei County."

"Then first set Yin'an as a place to farm." Liu Xie said to Wulu: "Go back and tell Yu Du to make preparations and find out who is assisting the trial and dispatch to guard the city. Anyone who listens to the trial and dispatch orders , the land will be confiscated and used for farming.”

Chapter 838 Sven sweeps the floor

Yecheng.

The judge, who was dozing off on the case, suddenly hit zero and woke up from the dream.His nose was sore and itchy, he opened his mouth, his face was contorted, but he couldn't sneeze, instead he was holding back tears, extremely uncomfortable.

"What a ghost." He thumped the table angrily, and the pens and inkstones on the table jumped up.The pen on the edge of the inkstone rolled twice and landed on the paper.Fortunately, the weather was cold and the ink had frozen, so the paper was finally not stained.

The judge looked up and saw that the door was opened a crack at some point, the cold wind was blowing, and the fire in the fire pit in the center of the room was about to go out, leaving only dark red.The remaining warmth couldn't stop the cold, and she shrank.

The judge frowned, cursed, put his hands on the case, and was about to get up to close the door.

But he couldn't get up.

After sitting for too long, my legs were already numb, and I was so cold from the wind that I didn't feel a thing.

The judge was even more annoyed, raised his throat, and drank twice.

"What about people? Where do people go when they die?"

There was the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the two maids rushed over, looking at the judge with pale faces.The judge waved his hands and asked them to close the door, add some charcoal, and then pour him a glass of hot wine.

The maids followed suit one by one, and quickly finished the process.

The room warmed up quickly.

The judge asked one of the maids to help him pinch his legs, and the other to regrind the ink.

"Did anyone come here just now?"

"No." The two maids said in unison, and then felt something was wrong, looked at each other, and lowered their heads in unison.

The judge said in a deep voice, "We'll talk after we think about it."
