At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

But can he, an administrative official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, also give pointers to military issues?

Lu Yi felt a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, I'm just a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so it's not convenient to express my views on military issues."

This statement made Guo Jin feel quite comfortable.

Indeed, Lu Yi has followed him for a long time, but the experience of being born in a hostile regime in Jiangdong made him always cautious. Compared with those who have no rules, his attitude towards Guo Jin is more satisfactory to Guo Jin, so Guo Jin is more willing to be with him. He gets along and talks.

It's the attitude of respecting him and keeping a distance from him without seeming unfamiliar.

The emperor is very demanding and difficult to serve, but Lu Yi can handle it well.

So Guo Jin shook his head.

"In my case, you are not a doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but a student in the South Study Room. If I have any questions for you, you can answer that you are not overstepping. I am not asking you to do something, but just asking."

"Sir... according to the order."

Lu Yi relaxed and nodded, "Your Majesty wants to punish General Zhang Yide?"

"Ah."

"However, Zhang Yide is a veteran, with profound qualifications and great prestige in the army. He has made great achievements this time, and his sudden disposal may cause turmoil in the army."

Lu Yi was a little worried.

Guo Jin shook his head.

"Zhang Fei acted recklessly and did not follow the orders. This time he disrupted General Zilong's mission deployment and made many generals lose credit. Everyone dared not speak out because of his seniority. In fact, if you want to There are not a few people who take care of him."

"Your Majesty means that there is also a force in the army who is dissatisfied with Zhang Yide?"

"That's natural."

Guo Jin nodded: "Zhang Yide is very domineering, he took military merits at will, relied on his own seniority, did not carry out orders seriously, and acted recklessly, not only I am dissatisfied, but the other generals must also be dissatisfied. If I want to punish him, there will be people who will support him. .”

"Your Majesty is right to say so, but Your Majesty, the key point of this matter is not Zhang Yide himself, but Zhang Yide is the former subordinate of the Supreme Emperor. If His Majesty punishes Zhang Yide, the Supreme Emperor's side...will it..."

Lu Yi looked at Guo Jin's face.

Guo Jin pursed his lips.

"I will explain to the Supreme Emperor, don't worry, you help me prepare a process to punish Zhang Yide."

"It's not difficult, but Your Majesty, if you want to punish Zhang Yide, it's best for someone to take the lead and declare Zhang Yide's fault. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so you shouldn't directly express your dissatisfaction with the Supreme Emperor's old department.

This kind of thing, it is best to let the old department of the Supreme Emperor do it, so as to divert the attention of His Majesty, so that outsiders will not think that this is His Majesty's intention, otherwise His Majesty will be under great pressure. "

Lu Yi gave a suggestion, which made Guo Jin hesitate a little.

He thought Lu Yi was right.

After all, Zhang Fei is a veteran of Guo Peng's former department and Yuan Cong. Although his position is not high, he has a high status and a great reputation.

If you deal with it rashly, and if you do it directly, it will easily make the courtiers and military generals feel that they are attacking the former emperor's army in the army, so as to make room for their own people.

Once this situation is not handled properly, it will cause collective uneasiness in the old army of the Supreme Emperor.

Establishing authority is necessary, but creating collective unease among military veterans is somewhat inappropriate.

Guo Jin didn't intend to cleanse the old Guo Peng in the army, but just wanted to make an example to the monkeys, so that these people could clearly realize that the times had changed, so they could stay there obediently, don't have any other ideas, and when they get old, they will naturally realize the replacement of the old and the new .

At that time, Guo Jin's students will naturally be the masters in the army, and his position will naturally be stable.

But now if you want to forcibly attack Zhang Fei, it is not impossible. With the authority of the emperor, what if you forcibly kill him?

But doing so is too easy for people to think that they can't wait to clean up the old department of the Supreme Emperor, and they are too eager to seize military power, and even challenge the authority of the Supreme Emperor.

At that time, the instability of the army's morale is a trivial matter, and Guo Peng's misunderstanding of him is a major matter. The key is Guo Peng's trust in him, and his rule of law is given to him by Guo Peng. He cannot dissatisfy Guo Peng.

So Guo Jin nodded.

"Bo Yan, what you said is right. I can't do it myself, at least I can't initiate it."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Lu Yi casually flattered her.

Therefore, Guo Jin quickly made a decision and ordered to reward the troops who conquered the west, reward the troops with cattle and wine on the spot, and then ordered them to return triumphantly and come back for the ceremony of presenting prisoners.

After the prisoner offering ceremony is over, kill him again by surprise!

This matter must be taken seriously, it must be dealt with seriously, it is better to expand than to shrink, otherwise there will be endless disasters!

There are three fires for a new official to take office, and several fires will be burned when the new emperor takes office.

Coincidentally, the first fire started from the army!

While maintaining military regulations and military laws, it is also necessary to establish Guo Jin's uncompromising position in the army.

Times have changed, old folks, and now, I'm the one who walks the talk!

Guo Jin is determined.

However, who will take the lead in launching an attack on Zhang Fei is also very important.

Zhang Fei has a high status, so this candidate must be very suitable, otherwise Zhang Fei will not be impeached, and he will end up with a fishy smell and become a laughing stock.

The range of candidates is naturally determined, that is, the generals of the Western Expedition this time, because only they have the most direct and reasonable anger and dissatisfaction with Zhang Fei, and the impeachment is also expected and accepted by everyone.

Among the generals of the Western Expedition, there are actually not many who have enough status, status, and weight to impeach Zhang Fei.

Cao Xiu and Cao Chun are generals of the same family, and their status is indeed special, but neither of them have as deep seniority as Zhang Fei, and they are also young. If they dare to do something, it is easy to think that someone is giving instructions behind their backs.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are closely related, so he probably doesn't want to do this, otherwise it would be really strange.

Li Dian's status and qualifications are far inferior to Zhang Fei's, and impeachment is not going to happen, and it is easy to cause supercilious looks, so he probably doesn't want to do it.

This is especially true for juniors, don't even think about it, if they leapfrog Zhang Fei to impeach Zhang Fei, who is behind it can be seen at a glance.

In this way, only one person is suitable for this matter.

Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's status and qualifications are higher than Zhang Fei's, and he is also the coach of this operation. Zhang Fei directly violated his orders. He is qualified and very appropriate to impeach Zhang Fei.

Although he and Guo Jin are related by marriage, Zhao Yun has always been fair and has a good reputation. He took the initiative to take action, so it is not easy for everyone to think that Guo Jin is behind the scenes.

No one would be willing to believe that Guo Jin was the mastermind behind it, and it would be easier for people to think that this was Zhao Yun's countermeasure against Zhang Fei's disrespect for the command, and that it was Zhao Yun's efforts to maintain his own authority.

Guo Jin's suspicion will be much smaller.

From a deeper level of relationship, Guo Jin believes that doing so will damage Zhao Yun's reputation.

Because Zhang Fei is your subordinate after all, if you impeach your subordinates and your comrades who have fought together for many years, such behavior will surprise, worry, and even chill everyone.

Regardless of whether Zhang Fei made a mistake or not, if you impeach him, you have the possibility of impeaching others.

From then on, the situation of Mr. Zhao Yun Haohao has disappeared, just like Guo Jia now.

And this is exactly what Guo Jin needs.

Zhao Yun already had profound qualifications. He was an old general of the Supreme Emperor. He was a veteran of Yuan Cong. rising.

He will quickly surpass Zhang Liao and Yu Jin, and become the No. 1 in the army under the emperor, and the No. 1 with an unblemished career.

How can this work?

This seriously violated the interests of the feudal emperor and touched the safety line of the feudal emperor.

Even if he was Zhao Kelan's father, related to the emperor by marriage, always loyal, honest and reliable, Guo Peng liked him very much, but his status and prestige were too high.

It was so high that it made Guo Jin feel uneasy.

Anxiety without reason is uneasiness, and it is uneasiness from the heart.

It is necessary to weaken his prestige, bad his reputation, so that his subordinates cannot fall in love with him, so that the new emperor who lacks prestige can feel relieved and comfortable.

Therefore, it is very necessary for him to personally attack his long-time comrade-in-arms Zhang Yide.

Guo Jin still remembered what Guo Peng said when he analyzed for him who could use and who could not.

The emperor has a way to treat his subjects. When employing a person, the most important thing is not how talented he is, but whether he is a threat.

This is the first essence of the emperor's employment.

Chapter 1473 One thousand 380 three Guan Yu was lectured by his son

Zhao Yun can use it, and must use it, not enough to get through the initial turbulent period.

Therefore, during the initial turbulent period, the command of the guards was indeed in the hands of Zhao Yun.

However, there must be a way to use Zhao Yun.

For this reason, the general cannot be loosened and let the general be free.

Then the situation is dangerous.

Coincidentally, with a good operation this time, maybe we can kill two birds with one stone and complete Guo Jin's overall deployment in one go.

In the big era, many people think that they are the only one who can lead the trend of the world.

But if the emperor has real power and is very smart, then the emperor is the only one with the trend, and everyone else should and cannot overshadow the emperor—as long as he is smart enough.

The rest of the people can only live under it, unable to shine further, because the only sun is the emperor himself.

Zhang Fei obviously didn't understand such a truth.

On the way to victory, he kept showing off his military exploits and achievements to his friends, saying that he was the most powerful person, and that Kang Juguo was nothing but scum.

His "friends" either forced a smile on their faces, or rolled their eyes and turned around and left. They really couldn't stand Zhang Fei's embarrassment.

You said that you stole everyone's credit and forget it. You are a careful person, and everyone can bear it. After all, you have deep qualifications, you are awesome, and you can't afford to provoke or hide?

But you just want to show off with us, do you think we don't have enough lemons or something?

When I catch a man, I show off my military exploits, and when I catch a man, I ask him if he is very good, if he is the strongest and most capable general in Wei, which makes other generals very upset.

Zhang Fei's behavior was so arrogant that finally even his "brother" Guan Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

Guan Yu is older than Zhang Fei. When he and Liu Bei were in trouble together, he treated Guan Yu as a brother, that is, he treated him as an older brother, and it is still the same after many years.

It is inconvenient for others to say a lot of things, but Guan Yu can say, and he can say a lot.

Zhang Fei doesn't necessarily listen to others' words, but Guan Yu's words can still be listened to.

"Yide, there are some things I have to say, don't think my words are harsh, these words are good for you."

When the army was resting in the field, Guan Yu dragged Zhang Fei into his tent to have a private conversation with him.

"What are you talking about, Brother Zhong?"

Zhang Fei looked confused.

"What are you talking about? Don't you understand in your heart? You don't know how Zilong planned this battle and gave you orders?"

"I know, but those Kangju people are so useless. I have only 5000 people, and I can gallop freely without pressure. More than 1 of them can't stop me. If I don't beat them, I will be sorry for Wei Jun's great reputation. ah."

Zhang Fei took it for granted: "And didn't I win?"

"You won the battle, what about the others? Do you think that other people come here just to like the mountains and rivers of Kangju, come here for an outing? They don't want military merits or rewards, right? You are alone How many people have the opportunity to obtain military merit?"

Guan Yu looked annoyed: "The world is settled, and the surrounding enemies are basically wiped out by the Supreme Emperor. We will have fewer and fewer opportunities to fight big battles in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to obtain military achievements. Finally, there is one. You messed it up too."

Looking at Guan Yu's appearance, Zhang Fei seemed a little surprised.

"On the battlefield, the strong are respected. Zilong's arrangements are too cautious. There is no need for this. I can deal with them by myself. And... Brother Zhong, why do I feel that you seem to have changed a lot? Before you Never think about these things."

Zhang Fei felt that Guan Yu had changed. Guan Yu used to be the same as him, a person who respected the strong. Why does he feel a little...cautious now?

"I didn't think about it before, but now I have to think about it."

Guan Yu shook his head: "The Supreme Emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne. The situation is different. We need to make some changes."

"Brother Zhong, then you don't have to worry. Your eldest son is so close to the new emperor. He is almost regarded as the new emperor's Yuan Cong veteran. Didn't he also be sent to the army to train this time? Your Majesty is very optimistic about him. , you don’t have to worry about Guan’s future.”

"It's not that simple."

Guan Yu sighed: "Yide, you can't always think like this. The situation is different. The new emperor is different from the Supreme Emperor. If you violate the commander's order like this, even the Supreme Emperor may not be able to tolerate you. Do you still remember Wei Xiao?" ?”

Guan Yu said a name, and Zhang Fei was slightly moved.
