Chapter 276 Chapter 7.32 Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sends his troops to the capital
Chapter 7 I forged the soul of Han in the Three Kingdoms
7.32 Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died and troops were sent to the capital.

In mid-July of the sixth year of Zhongping, the state government was merged into Jinyang and the state Mufu.

"Report to General, a secret message from the General has arrived!" On this day, Deng Feng was convening a meeting with his ministers to study countermeasures, when a new problem came.

When the wheel of history reached this point, the Eastern Han Empire was already on the verge of collapse, but because of inertia it still had not completely collapsed. A large number of things that could only be seen in history books or novels have now happened before our eyes.

On April 33, the sixth year of Zhongping, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong passed away in the imperial palace in Beijing at the age of [-].Before his death, he once thought about killing He Jin and letting his second son Liu Xie take over, but his plans were leaked to He Jin by people around him, so he had no choice but to end his life.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, He Jin first wanted to kill all the ten ministers, but Zhang Rang and others managed to escape with their lives by forming alliances with Empress Dowager Dong's family.

Immediately afterwards, He Jin drove away Queen Mother Dong and forced the younger brother of Queen Mother Dong to death. The ten permanent attendants hurriedly changed their courts and joined the former Queen He and the current Queen Mother He. Stay alive.

In early June, He Jin sent someone to poison the Empress Dowager Dong who had been driven away long ago. Shi Changshi took the opportunity to spread rumors that He Jin wanted to "plan for big things" or that he wanted to usurp the throne. So some of his subordinates persuaded He Jin to kill all the Empress Dowager Dong. Always serve.

As a result, Shi Changshi bribed He Miao and Queen Mother He again. Queen Mother He opposed the plan to kill Shi Changshi due to various considerations. He Jin was not a decisive person in killing, so he had to give up again.

Finally, Yuan Shao suggested that He Jin summon local generals to lead troops to the capital, and the foreign ministers forced the Queen Mother He to give in and allow the eunuchs to be killed. He Jin agreed.

The secret letter Deng Feng received now was He Jin's explanation for him to march into the capital.

Time goes back to the end of April in the sixth year of Zhongping, in the imperial palace in the capital, the chamber of Queen Mother He.

"Zifeng, everything is going wrong now, and the Ai family can only rely on you." Empress Dowager He weakly stroked the side of Deng Feng's face with her hands. Her loose black hair was soaked in strands with sweat. Every part of her body was in perfect condition. The makeup was deliberately requested by Deng Feng.

After being subjected to continuous high-intensity impact for more than an hour, her makeup had become wrinkled. She now had crimson cheeks and rosy eyes. No matter how she looked, she looked like a young woman nourished by love.

"Why is the Queen Mother so nervous? Now that the Queen Mother is inside, the general is outside, and His Majesty (Han Shao Emperor Liu Zhui) has also ascended the throne, the world in the next 30 years will not be decided by the He family?" Of course Deng Feng knew what happened next, but There is no need to explain at this time.

What's more, although Queen Mother He spoke very nervously, her true thoughts were revealed by saying "I'm sorry for my family".

"It's true that he belongs to the He family, but my son's surname is Liu, and the whole world is also named Liu!" Queen Mother He said helplessly, "Now that my eldest brother has the military power, it's hard to say how useful I, the Queen Mother, will be."

Deng Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that He Jin must have the most power in the current court, but the emperor was the son of Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhui. This was the problem.

Is it the eldest brother or the son?There seems to be no need to discuss this issue.

Is it better to be a general, one person inferior to ten thousand people, or is it better to remove the "one person" above your head and make your own decisions?This problem does not seem to be difficult.

What if the eldest brother wants to have the final say, but the person he wants to overthrow is his own son?It seems like you don’t need to think too much.

Is his psychology too dark? In fact, He Jin is really a good big brother who wholeheartedly helps his sister and nephew just to help the big man?

Haha, if it were so good, there would not be so many issues of alternation of power between relatives and eunuchs in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for placing our hopes on He Jin's personal integrity, although the Queen Mother He is only in her thirties, she has been trained in the palace for more than ten years, and she even poisoned Beauty Wang to death. She has never seen any dark methods. ?

Expect her to trust other people's integrity?

Not to mention that even in this most intimate moment, she still said "Aijia" when talking to Deng Feng, obviously not forgetting her identity and purpose.

Therefore, it is understandable that Queen Mother He made some seemingly silly operations in real history.

For example, he knew that Shi Changshi had a grudge against his eldest brother but still protected them. He knew that the eunuch was an enemy before but still chose to cooperate. Even though he knew that this would put his eldest brother in crisis, he still didn't care.

It seems difficult to understand from the outside, but if you think about it, it is actually not complicated. It is nothing more than fighting for the core right to speak.

But in essence, this pair of brothers and sisters should actually be in a relationship of "struggle and cooperation". It is necessary to ensure the right to speak and not really fall out. Otherwise, He Jin's position is too good, and the person who wants to replace him may be biased. many.

Unfortunately, in real history, she got away with it. She had no idea that the Shi Changshi really killed He Jin, and then Dong Zhuo went to Beijing to depose Liu Zhui, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty. She and her son and daughter-in-law were imprisoned, and finally her son was poisoned. The daughter-in-law was strangled to death, and she herself was thrown from the tower to death.

"What does the Queen Mother want?" Deng Feng hesitated for a moment, but decided to help. After all, it was "a day of kindness for a couple, a hundred days of kindness". He secretly went to Beijing alone, and it was definitely not to renew his relationship with the Queen Mother.

He can ask for a price only if the other party has a request. Besides, there is never any right or wrong in court struggles, it is nothing more than a matter of interests.

"I heard that you now have 2000 female guards, how about lending me half of them?" Queen Mother He's appetite was really big.

"Queen Mother, do you know how much I paid to train these female guards?" Deng Feng said angrily to her.

Of course, this can also be translated as "what price are you willing to pay".

"You are now the general who conquers the north and the shepherd of Bingzhou. What if you change your position to the shepherd of Jizhou?" If Queen Mother He's conditions were really sincere in peacetime, Jizhou is the largest state in the world, and its reputation for wealth is not easy to come by for thousands of years.

"Does the Queen Mother think I look like a fool?" Deng Feng pissed her off again.Now is the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, Deng Feng has already developed Bingzhou to the point where the strength greatly exceeds that of Jizhou, isn't it stupid to transfer it now?

"What conditions do you want?" Queen Mother He saw that she could not reach an agreement, so she might as well see what her opponent's conditions were.

"Transfer Bingzhou Biejia to Chen Gong as the governor of Jizhou. I will not only give you 1000 female guards, but also 5000 elite soldiers. Anyway, there are still many vacancies in the Xiyuan New Army Camp." Deng Feng also had a good appetite.

Now Jizhou has been changed to state pastor, the governor is only a civil servant, and the general must also be transferred to Bingzhou, so that he can control the two states.

"You are simply not the son of a human being!" Queen Mother He yelled angrily.

"So, what conditions are the Queen Mother willing to give?" Deng Feng did not expect to "sleep" the Queen Mother He again this time. Something related to core interests, let alone a meal of powerful dragons, would not even be possible even if she played songs every night.

"Tell Chen Gong to be the governor of Yanzhou." Empress Dowager He hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and gave the conditions.

"Yes! It's just that when Chen Gong takes office, he will definitely bring some guards and officials - to be honest with the Queen Mother, I still have a lot of ordnance in hand. If there is any need, I can order someone to send it over within seven days."

Deng Feng felt that just relying on these 1000 female guards could at best save lives at critical moments. Sending ordnance was actually asking Queen Mother He if she still had reliable troops. Of course, this was also a supplementary condition for Chen Gong to bring a bunch of people when he took office.

Another point is that Yanzhou was originally the place where Cao Cao started. Although it is not connected to Bingzhou, it is very close. In troubled times in the future, Deng Feng is not prepared to leave any chance to such an enemy.

While Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Deng Feng planned to take the opportunity to control Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, which would basically lay the foundation for victory.

"My brother He Miao is now in charge of the Xiyuan New Army. I have heard for a long time that Bingzhou Steel Crossbow is famous all over the world. Why don't you give me a share." Queen He agreed without thinking, but still stated her conditions.

Moreover, this sentence contains a lot of information, and it can also explain another question, why He Jin's younger brother He Miao was always at odds with him in history.

"How about 1000 powerful crossbows?" Anyway, there are still a lot of waist Zhang crossbows that have been eliminated.

"About 3000. The Xiyuan New Army has more than 50000 people. However, because it is newly built, the infantry is fine, but the cavalry and crossbows are all scarce."

"Okay, I'll give Uncle Er Guo another 1500 war horses. It's just that such a large amount of ordnance cannot be transported to the capital. I will be responsible for sending it outside the city. The rest can only be figured out by you."

If He Jin dies, he will die. With such strong strength in hand, neither the Queen Mother He nor the Young Emperor of Han should be as unlucky as in history. Moreover, He Miao's strength is far worse than that of He Jin, which will be convenient for future control.

Not only that, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie has never been honest in history. No matter who is "bringing the emperor to order the princes", he is doing various operations secretly; on the contrary, it is the Young Emperor Liu Braid of the Han Dynasty, which has historical records It's just more convenient to be weak, incompetent, and timid. "Thank you, Zifeng!" Queen Mother He was pleasantly surprised and kissed her excitedly.

"Just talking is not enough." Deng Feng smiled and lowered his head to whisper a few words in his ear.

"You -" Queen Mother He was so angry that she almost turned her face. After hesitating for a long time, she still buried her head helplessly, "The Ai family will treat it as an illness and take medicine!"

The camera returns to Jinyang, the administrative seat of Bingzhou, and the Prefectural Mufu.

"Fengxiao thinks, how many troops should we send this time?" Deng Feng introduced the situation to everyone present, and then asked the first adviser Guo Jia, and the first thing he said was how many troops should be sent, and the question of whether to send troops was not even discussed. .

"Lord, how many total troops do we have now?" Because of the strict confidentiality system established by Deng Feng, the main generals currently only know part of the content in their hands.

Guo Jia is a counselor, but he is too lazy. He usually only sets out during wars and usually does not understand all aspects. As for the overall information, only Deng Feng and Cheng Lingsu, the chief military officer of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, know.

"Gongtai took office in Yanzhou and took away 9000 cavalry, 6000 crossbowmen and 6000 infantry, plus Hong Lin (Gao Shun) took Yuan Jian (Liao Hua) in charge of the cavalry, Gongyi (Jiang Qin) in charge of the infantry, Ming Yuan (Shi A) ) was personally in charge of the crossbowmen.

Our military strength has declined a lot, but we still have 27000 cavalry plus 6000 infantry, 6000 crossbowmen, and 1000 cavalry and 2000 infantry guarding the logistics in the hands of Ziming (Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Feng), which must be enough.

But Fengxiao doesn't need to think too much. After Gongtai took office in May, we have recruited 50000 new soldiers to supplement various military branches. Although the training has not been completed yet, it is more than enough to defend the city. "Deng Feng first introduced the situation.

Now that troubled times are approaching, Deng Feng is preparing to control at least two states, so the original military strength will definitely not be enough.

To recruit 50000 recruits, Deng Feng immediately assigned 500 veterans of the martial arts hall who had just graduated, and also selected a group of senior first-class petty bosses from the original veterans to finally complete the framework of these recruits.

The training time is not long now, but some basic projects have been completed, and the remaining deepening and strengthening parts can be allocated to various military camps before proceeding.

"My lord, this time I send troops, my lord must go out personally, so he will bring 18000 cavalry, all infantry and all crossbowmen. The 9000 cavalry left are mainly to guard against foreign tribes in the grassland direction. In fact, there are county soldiers in other directions. Difference.

Not to mention there are plenty of new recruits to assist. "Guo Jia immediately arranged the general direction.

"What do you think?" Deng Feng looked at the people below.

"The final general (lower official) has no objections." *N.

"Yuan Zhi, is there no problem with the food supply?" After Chen Gong left, Deng Feng promoted Xu Shu to be the head of the Bingzhou administration.

"Don't worry, my lord, let's not say that the new grain will be harvested in a month. If we just rely on storing grain and including the new soldiers to double the total strength, we won't have to worry about food problems in two years."

Xu Shu replied with a smile on his face. This was thanks to Deng Feng for cleaning up most of the aristocratic families and integrating resources into his own hands.

"Okay!" Deng Feng stood up suddenly, "Brothers!"

"Wow - the general (lower officer) listens to the order!" Everyone stood up and responded.

"Wen Yuan and Meng Qi, you will accompany the army as the cavalry commanders! Wen Yuan will be the commander, and Meng Qi will be the assistant."

"The last general takes orders!" Zhang Liao and Ma Chao responded loudly - after Ma Teng surrendered, Deng Feng arranged for him to raise horses and herd sheep with the original Qiang people on the large grasslands west of Yanmen and Xihe. There is no doubt that they were idle .

As compensation, Ma Chao is now one of the generals of the Bingzhou cavalry, Ma Yunlu is the head of the entire women's guard battalion, and even Ma Dai has been reused.

"Youping, you are the commander of the infantry, in charge of all the infantry!"

"The last general takes orders!" Zhou Tai clasped his fists and accepted the order with a happy face.

"Yunyi (Ma Dai's cousin), you are in charge of all the crossbowmen!"

"The last general takes command!" Ma Dai also looked happy.

"Zhou Cang, allocate half of the vehicle-mounted crossbows. You are responsible for the arrangements!" Zhou Cang surrendered when Deng Feng sent people to wipe out the remaining Yellow Turban troops.

"My lord, don't worry!" Zhou Cang replied seriously.

"Ziming, the logistics line remains the same as always."

"Don't worry, my lord!" Zhao Feng is actually the logistics chief of the Bingzhou Army.

"Yun Lu, assign 500 female guards to me, and you will be responsible for the defense of the prefecture's mansion." Deng Feng is going to ask Xiao Zhao to take these people to serve as the guards of the Chinese army.

Now the Female Guard Battalion only has a total of 1000 troops plus 1000 new recruits that have just been recruited. It will take two or three years to use them, so we can only make do.

"Yes, lord!" Ma Yunlu ordered loudly.

In fact, she was not the only woman present, including Cheng Lingsu, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Hu, and Cai Yan. When Deng Feng first started doing this, even Zhao Yun objected, but under Deng Feng's strong request, he is now used to it. .

"Han Sheng, pay attention at home, the defense line facing the aliens on the western front is handed over to you." After Deng Feng arranged for the troops to leave, he must also arrange for his home.

"Lord, don't worry!" Huang Zhong really doesn't need to be famous now.

"Zilong, please pay attention to Jinyang Camp, and we must pay close attention to the training of new recruits. If you have any problems, report them directly to the Prefectural Mufu."

Cheng Lingsu can hardly leave Jinyang now. It's not that Deng Feng doesn't take her with her, but that she is the big housekeeper in the backyard of the Deng family and No. 1 in Bingzhou's finance. But he became the second-in-command in the administration, and could only be left to look after the house.

Deng Feng's so-called "reporting to the Prefecture Mufu" actually refers to the two of them. Even Xu Shu, the No. 1 administrator of Bingzhou, had to step aside.

It is no secret in the world that Deng Feng attaches great importance to women. Cheng Lingsu and Cai Yan have even become the idols of the ladies of the aristocratic family, which has brought some unexpected benefits to Deng Feng.

Not only senior leaders, but Deng Feng also advocated in society that "women hold up half of the sky." Note that this is not the same as "women hold up half of the sky."

His slogan actually acquiesces to the first half of the sentence, "The man is the god of the family", which means that he appropriately enhances the status of women on the basis of acknowledging the superiority of men and the inferiority of women.

When he mentioned this, he did not mean to achieve equality between men and women, but to release women's productivity.

It is no secret that rural women in Bingzhou go to the fields to do some lighter or more detailed work.

For example, weeding, the original hoe was too laborious, but Deng Feng invented the shovel in advance, which effectively improved the efficiency of women in agriculture. Since it can play a role and has its own value, the status of women will naturally increase.

"Yes, lord!" Zhao Yun has never made anyone worry too much.

"Fengxiao, come with me to Beijing!"

"Lord, don't worry!" Guo Jia gave a rare and serious reply. Now that he has undergone Cheng Lingsu's full treatment, Deng Feng's compulsory maintenance, and a full set of practice in the "Nine Yin Manual", he is no longer the sick duck he was when he first came here, or his skills. So-so is considered second-rate.

"Okay! Yuan Zhi allocates food and grass, and it will be completed within seven days. After seven days, the army will set off!"
