Xuande

Chapter 140 General He Jin

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Liu Hong's heart tightened.

"Xuande, you are worried about your teacher's safety, but I am worried about yours."

Liu Hong sighed, and said slowly: "The clansmen in the world, only you are my good assistant, without you by my side, who can advise me? Who is worthy of my trust? You have to go to the battlefield Can't you?"

Liu Bei smiled.

Of course he's going to fight.

This is the first step of his new three-step plan after the old three-step, and he must walk well.

The third step made him succeed from a local tyrant in a remote village to a scholar of the top family of the Han Dynasty. He has a political identity and reputation in Luoyang City, and he is no longer a dilapidated clan who comes to Luoyang to beg for food in a remote area .

After the old three steps are completed, it is the next new three steps, Hebei, Liangzhou, and Luoyang.

Therefore, this war is not destined to be very large. He must participate in it, initially establish his military prestige, and take this opportunity to pull up his own starting team for the first time.

"Although Zhang Changshi lacks vision, his ability is still good. If His Majesty has something to do, he can let Zhang Changshi handle it. Of course, the scholars should not be overly stimulated, and they should not be allowed to join hands again."

Zhang Rang on the side was in a very complicated mood when he heard this sentence, and he didn't know whether to get angry or laugh.

"Liu Xuande, you... can't you restrain your mouth?"

"Of course you have to tell the truth in front of His Majesty, isn't what I'm telling the truth?"

Liu Bei spread out his hands with an innocent face.

Liu Hong suddenly laughed.

Zhang Rang's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Liu Bei, unable to say a word.

"Okay, okay, grandpa and Xuande are my right and left arms, and they are both good assistants that I can't live without. You should cooperate well."

After comforting Zhang Rang, Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei again and put away his smile.

"Xuande, the battlefield is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes. I heard that when you rescued Lu Zhi, you were hit by three arrows and almost died. I didn't know it at the time. If I knew, I would definitely not allow you to do this."

Seeing Liu Hong's seemingly sincere face, Liu Bei couldn't tell whether Liu Hong was sincere or possessed by drama.

Since ancient times, kings have been mean and ungrateful, and they have called themselves widows, but they are not completely Mo's feelings. Apart from the actor, there are occasionally a few seeds of infatuation.

On the contrary, he, Liu, is an absolute showman.

He immediately saluted and put on a grateful look.

"Your Majesty loves you, and I know it well, but this time I will go to the expedition to report the favor of the king and the morality of the teacher. I will go no matter what. However, I will keep your majesty in mind, and I will definitely keep my useful body and will not go again Do something dangerous."

Liu Hong nodded, held Liu Bei's hand, and gave some instructions. Liu Bei's eyes were red and tears flowed.

In the end, Liu Hong couldn't help crying. When he parted from Liu Bei, it was almost as if he was parting from life and death. Zhang Rang was tired of seeing it, and his eyes almost rolled out of the sky.

After Liu Bei left, Liu Hong and Zhang Rang explained some things for Zhang Rang to do, and at the same time told Zhang Rang to restrain his temper and not to mess around.

Finally, Liu Hong called Zhang Rang who was about to leave again, and asked Zhang Rang to go to the palace inner library to choose a good inner armor and send it to Liu Bei.

"On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, but armor can defend yourself. Grandpa, you go and choose a good one. Xuande has armor by his side, so I can rest assured."

Zhang Rang blinked, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande is shrewd and good at calculating. He has been on the battlefield and has been safe and sound all the way. A person like him will surely live for a long time. You don't have to worry about it."

Liu Hong shook his head.

"It is very rare to have such a talented person among the clansmen of the Han Dynasty. The princes of the Manchu Dynasty have their own selfishness. For selfishness, they can disregard the face of the court and the situation of the big man. Only Xuande does not do this and wholeheartedly For my sake, I don't think I can live without him, Grandpa, don't you think so?"

I think so too?

Zhang Rang pondered for a while, and felt that something was wrong with him.

Could it be that Liu Hong really put Liu Bei in his heart?

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande...he is indeed very talented, but he is not worthy of your concern about him, is he?"

"Why not?"

Liu Hong said slowly: "Grandpa, the experience of these days has made me understand that the only people in the world who can really consider me and the big man are the clansmen besides Grandpa and you. Unfortunately, some of the clansmen There are few talented people, and there is only one Xuande, without Xuande, would the court be where it is today?"

Zhang Rang has nothing to say about this.

He feels that Liu Hong still has the concept of clan, and he is always different from the clan of the Han family. Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and this advantage is too great for him.

Zhang Rang felt that as long as he was not surnamed Zhang, he didn't have to give up his small things and become an eunuch to enter the court and approach Liu Hong.

The bitter feeling made Zhang Rang's heart ache, and he could only nod his head, expressing that he would take care of this matter by himself.

After this secret meeting ended, Liu Hong held a new military meeting the next day and announced his decision at the meeting.

As for the strategy to deal with the Taipingdao thieves, he chose to use two prongs, and he wanted them all.

In other words, both Yang Ci's strategy and Lu Zhi's strategy must be used.

What Yang Ci said made sense. To capture the thief first, to capture the king, and to send the local officials to eliminate the Taipingdao Qushuai is indeed a good strategy to eliminate the Taipingdao rebel forces, so Yang Ci's plan must be adopted.

However, what Lu Zhi said was also reasonable. There are differences in the ability of local governments to handle affairs, so the execution of imperial orders will have different results.

Therefore, Lu Zhi's strategy must also be adopted. The imperial court must prepare the army, carry out large-scale mobilization, and be ready to go to the Kanto to quell the rebellion at any time.

In the process of Liu Hong announcing the matter, first Yang Ci was happy and Lu Zhi was shocked, and then Yang Ci was surprised and Lu Zhi was at ease.

In the end, the two looked at each other, and they could see a very obvious opposite.

There was no winner in this round, and neither the Ancient Literature School nor the Modern Literature School could take advantage of it.

What Liu Hong announced next surprised them all.

Liu Hong said that dealing with the Taipingdao rebellion is very important, and it will involve multiple states and counties. Special personnel must be responsible for dispatching it, which cannot be handled by the existing imperial government agencies.

Therefore, Liu Hong decided to confer a heavy general to be in charge of this battle.

He decided to confer the No. [-] general in Tianzi—a general above Sangong.

And the candidate for this great general is Empress He's elder brother, the current Henan Yin, He Jin.

For this candidate, the courtiers felt a little surprised, and all turned their attention to He Jin.

He Jin himself had known about this beforehand, and was already overjoyed, and now the old god was standing aside, with a calm and composed look on his face.

In fact, it's not that the big guys didn't take this into consideration, but they just instinctively felt that He Jin didn't have a noble background, and secondly, he didn't have strong military talents, so he wasn't an option.

Although the relatives of Deng's family and Dou's family who served as the generals back then were arrogant, they were all powerful figures from noble and wealthy families. Dare to be a great general because of his meritorious deeds?

So some scholars and officials raised doubts on the spot.

Liu Hongli resisted all opinions and insisted on worshiping He Jin as a general, and entrusted He Jin with full power over the fight against the Taipingdao rebellion, and did not listen to other people's objections.

At the same time, regarding the existing Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou and the large-scale potential Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains states, Liu Hong listened to the opinions of some ministers and carefully selected reliable candidates to be the generals who will actually lead the army.

After many pushes, Liu Hong took Lu Zhi's military exploits in successfully defeating the Jiujiang and Lujiang barbarians, and appointed Shang Shuling Lu Zhi as Beizhong Lang, responsible for suppressing the Taipingdao rebels who had begun to rebel in Hebei.

In addition, based on Zhu Jun's achievements in successfully suppressing Lianglong's rebellion, he appointed Zhu Jun as the general of Nanzhong Lang, in charge of targeting potential Taipingdao rebels in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. responsible for repression.

Then, based on Huangfusong's family of generals and a deep understanding of martial arts, he appointed Huangfusong as Dongzhong Langjiang to be responsible for targeting potential Taipingdao rebels in Qingzhou and Xuzhou areas. Once a local rebellion broke out, he would immediately lead troops to quell it.
