Chapter 110

Following the news of Xiliang's rebellion, it spread to Luoyang, and there was another quarrel in the court.Faced with Dong Zhuo's despicable methods of asking for money and food, a heated discussion took place.

As for why it is said 'again', the reason is that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xiliang has rebelled three or five times.

In the previous two times, Zhonglang General Huangfusong was used as the commander, and Dong Zhuo was the vanguard to quell the rebellion.The third time was when Dong Zhuo was the commander-in-chief and led troops to quell the Xiliang rebellion.Later, Dong Zhuo became the shepherd of Liangzhou, and the Qiang people in Xiliang rebelled every now and then.

In the court hall, the aristocratic family headed by the Yuan family, Yuan Feng, advocated sending troops to support.Headed by Shi Changshi and General He Jin, he advocated sending troops directly to transport food.

The Yuan family and other aristocratic families also knew what Dong Zhuo's idea was, and wanted to send their outstanding children to be gilded.After returning, he will have military merits in his body, so he can strive for greater benefits, so as not to fall into the trap.

The Shi Changshi and General He Jin all took advantage of Dong Zhuo.Of course, it was done according to Dong Zhuo's wishes, giving money, food, weapons and other materials to the soldiers.

Although Shi Changshi and He Jin's reputations are not very good, their policy of doing things beautifully after taking money is still recognized by many people.

For example: Deng Wu, Dong Zhuo.

There were many people in the court who could see Dong Zhuo's intentions, but they all tacitly did not try to break it.

Support still needs to be supported, and everyone wants to get some benefits from it.

"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, as the shepherd of Liangzhou, is to blame for the repeated rebellion in Xiliang. I think the imperial court should send someone to take charge of all the rebellion." Taiwei Yuan Feng said.

"Nonsense, the Xiliang rebellion has been around for a long time. The imperial court also sent troops to quell the rebellion many times, but with little success. It was Dong Zhuo who spent all his wealth and recruited brave soldiers to suppress it. Now, the Xiliang rebellion has targeted Dong Zhuo With no soldiers, no money, no food, and no way to raise a large number of soldiers and horses, the rebellion in Xiliang resumed. The court only needed to give money and food to Dong Zhuo to recall the demobilized soldiers. The rebellion in Xiliang could be put down with a wave of his hand, so why bother the court? Send troops." Duan Gui, one of the ten permanent attendants, said.

"That's right, fighting every year, how can the imperial court have extra soldiers and horses to reinforce Xiliang."

"Duan Gui, He Jin, you guys..."

"Okay, what's the proper way to be so noisy in the court? The court really has no soldiers and horses to dispatch, so let's do it according to my father's wishes. The household department prepares the ordnance, and the chief farmer prepares the food and grass, and it will be delivered to Xiliang on the same day. Send it over." Sitting at the head of the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, looking at the noisy court, said with a final conclusion.

"like!"

"like!"

It took a while to decide on the matter of the Xiliang rebellion.See no one to continue to say?Emperor Han Ling declared:
"Today's court meeting will end here, Zheng is tired, let's retreat!"

"Back...towards."

Back in the West Garden, Emperor Han Ling didn't go straight to the fruit swimming pool.Instead, he came to the main hall in the West Garden and lost his temper.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! Luoyang obviously has 20 troops, but he deceives me that he has no troops to send. The thief deceives me like this, really... really deceives me, a big man with no one!"

The Shi Changshi who followed Liu Hong to the West Garden, after waiting for Liu Hong to vent his anger, Zhang Rang stepped forward cautiously and said:

"Your Majesty, although there are 20 troops in Luoyang, they all only obey the orders of the General. The only troops that His Majesty can mobilize are the [-] Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace. If things go on like this, sooner or later it will lead to catastrophe!"

"Let my father think how to deal with it?" Liu Hong asked rhetorically.

"How about in the name of His Majesty, we are preparing to form an imperial guard army, an elite that only obeys His Majesty's orders." Zhang Rang said the plan he had thought up long ago.

"Okay, that's the decision, but where should we start recruiting soldiers and horses?" After hearing this, Liu Hong made a final decision.

"Your Majesty can select the sons of good families around Luoyang to join the army, transfer them to train with good generals, and match them with money and food for the war horses in the West Garden. I believe that it will not take long to train an elite army."

"We need to use the horses and money from the West Garden!"

He is worthy of being a famous miser emperor in history. It can be said that he loves his money as much as his life.When I heard that money and food were needed to form an elite army, I was a little hesitant.

This is when Duan Gui, the only one among the Ten Constant Attendants who understands military matters, stood up and faced Liu Hong:
"My Majesty, an elite and loyal army must not only be well-trained, but also well-equipped. The most important thing is to choose a leading general. The so-called one general is incompetent, and the entire army is exhausted."

"This……"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the food and grass go first before the three armies are moved. You can't bear children, and you can't trap wolves. If the court is unwilling to pay for food, how can it be used to summon brave warriors and loyal soldiers to your majesty?" Still Zhang Let the exit persuade.

"Okay, it's just the position of army coach. Can you choose it?" Liu Hong compromised.

"Since His Majesty pays for the food and money, of course His Majesty will take the post of coach." Xia Yun said flatteringly.

"That's right, His Majesty should come down to take the post of coach." Guo Sheng also echoed.

"Haha! Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. It's just that I'm usually 'busy', and I still need the assistance of all my lovers!" Liu Hong said happily.

"I dare not die!" The ten permanent attendants said in unison.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I'm usually busy, so you recommend some people to assist me and lead this army."

"Zhongchang Servant~ Duan Yu, not only is he loyal to His Majesty, but also the only one among us who has the talent to lead the army in battle." So the old slave recommended him as a lieutenant of the Chinese Army to assist His Majesty in managing the new army.

"Yeah! Who else can you recommend?" Liu Hong nodded in agreement.

"Yuan Shao, the son of Yuan Feng, and Cao Cao, the son of Cao Song, can serve in the army."

"I've also heard of these two people. They performed very well in the campaign to suppress the Yellow Turbans. Hmm! These two people can serve in the army. Do you have any recommendations?"

Seeing that there are already three people serving in the new army.The remaining ten permanent attendants also couldn't wait to recommend the officials they had made friends with.

In the end, the captains of the Xiyuan new army settled down amidst the quarrel between Shi Changshi and Liu Hong. There were eight captains in Xiyuan, and they were:

Lieutenant of the Military Academy——Ten Attendants~Duan Gui,

Lieutenant of the Chinese Army --- Tiger Angry Zhonglang General ~ Yuan Shao,

Lieutenant of the Lower Military Academy - Lieutenant of Tunqi ~ Bao Hong,

Lieutenant of Dianjun——Yilang~Cao Cao,

Zuo Xiaowei——Advising the doctor ~ Xia Mou,

Lieutenant Right - Lieutenant of the Yulin Army ~ Chun Yuqiong,
Auxiliary Army Zuo Xiaowei - Zhao Rong,
Auxiliary right school lieutenant - Feng Fang,
All the school lieutenants are under Duan Gui.Duan Gui, the ten permanent attendant, was in charge of the various armies and was directly ordered by Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.At that time, the momentum was so great that even He Jin had to be ordered by him.

The eight captains of Xiyuan were established to divide He Jin's military power, but is the final result really like this?
