Yang Xuanmo formally recruited Zhang Zhao'an to serve in the Northern Protectorate, and Zhang Zhao and Sima Jia Kui of the Shanshan Army became Yang Xuanmo's two major think tanks in Jinyang.
Lu Bu and Wang Chang, who were confident, each had their own thoughts and were waiting for the appointment of the new governor of Bingzhou.
Compared with Bingzhou's various ulterior motives, far away in Luoyang, the center of the Han Dynasty, there was an endless quarrel over who should be the governor of Bingzhou.
"Wang Qiu, the Lingshi of Bingzhou, has been working hard for the court in Bingzhou for nearly ten years. The court should reward those officials who have dedicated themselves to the court. The Lingshi of Bingzhou should be appointed and promoted to the governor of Bingzhou." As Wang Yun's good friend Yilang He Yong Stand up and support Bingzhou Ling Shi Wangqiu. Wang Yun, the governor of Yinyu Prefecture in Henan, cast a grateful look at He Yong.
Grand Tutor Yuan Wei also stood up and said: "The veteran also believes that Master Wang Qiu, the governor of Bingzhou, is a suitable candidate. At the same time, the veteran believes that the governor of Beidi and the governor of Anbei, Yang Xuanmo, have unshirkable responsibilities and must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, pondered, "What does the general think of this incident?" Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong asked.
"I think Wang Qiu is more suitable. The governor of Beidi and the governor of Anbei, Yang Xuanmo, have already killed the enemy in bloody battles and repelled the cavalry attack of more than 10,000 people. Their merits and demerits can be balanced, and they only need to be severely reprimanded. After all, these two people He is the main general at the northern border, especially Yang Xuanmo who has just won a battle." He Jin thought.
"I second the proposal. I also think that Zhang Liao and Yang Xuanmo have extenuating feelings. You can't let one thing chill the hearts of the border officers, Your Majesty. Especially these are soldiers from humble families who have relied on their military exploits, Your Majesty." Old Taiwei Yang Ci trembled Said Weiwei.
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong turned to look at Zhang Rang and asked, "I wonder what my father thinks?"
Zhang Rang said righteously: "It is a pity that Zhang Yi, the shepherd of Bingzhou, was attacked and killed. However, I think Bingzhou is an important border town and the court should send capable officers. Although Wang Lingshi has been in Bingzhou for a long time, he is a civil servant after all, so the deterrence is not enough. We should send capable generals to guard it so that everything will be safe."
When Wang Yun heard this, "That's bad, this old bastard, an eunuch. This is to seize the emperor's key points, and I don't want the scholars to become stronger. He's ruining my big job."
Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, said: "Appoint Ding Yuan as governor of Bingzhou, and Wang Qiu was promoted to governor of Bingzhou. Zhang Liao, the governor of the north, was dismissed from office and demoted to captain. Yang Xuanmo reprimanded and took back the rule. Investigate the murderer strictly. . Yilang Cai Yong was sent as an envoy to deliver the order."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty made the final decision and everyone dispersed.
The Han court was divided into the imperial party, the scholar group, the warrior group, and the eunuch group. The representatives of the imperial party were Yang Ci and Cai Yong. The representatives of the scholar group are Yuan Wei, Huang Wan, and Wang Yun. The warrior group was represented by He Jin, and the eunuch group was represented by Zhang Rang. Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong also enjoyed divide and rule. So every court meeting is as messy as an aunt buying vegetables at the wet market.
In the lobby of Cai Yong's mansion, the old Taiwei Yang Ci came to visit Cai Yong. The old lieutenant Yang Ci took a sip of tea and said: "My uncle is going to Bingzhou to deliver the message. He must take a good look at Yang Xuanmo. I intend to include him in the Yang clan and add another general to our imperial party."
"Brother Bo Xian, you are truly a role model for our generation in being loyal to the country. I will definitely observe Yang Xuanmo carefully. If he is a good seedling, I will train him well. Yang Xuanmo started from a humble background and has no backer, so it is suitable for His Majesty and I to gather talents." Cai Yong nodded and said.
Cai Yong and Taiwei Yang Ci looked at each other and smiled.
Seven days later, the civil and military officials from Bingzhou who greeted the imperial envoy in Jinyang City stood quietly on both sides of the reception pavilion in Shili, waiting. About an hour later, a group of people appeared on the distant horizon. There were about a hundred people, all of whom were wearing golden helmets and mounted on tall horses. At first glance, he looked like a royal guard, with a sense of arrogance. In the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged man of about forty years old sat on a tall horse and talked to the entourage in an easy-going manner.
Wang Qiu, the governor of Bingzhou, Lu Bu and Wang Chang, the administrators of Bingzhou, and the generals of the Anbei Protectorate, Yang Xuanmo, headed by Jia Kui, Zhang Zhao, Yuwen Chengdu, Pang De, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, looked at Cai with high spirits. Yong and his party came from far and near to beat horses.
Regarding the appointment of Bingzhou pastor, Bingzhou officials already know. Although Lu Bu was unwilling to do so, his arms could not twist his thighs. Bingzhou belonged to the imperial court and was not something you, a little warlord, could control. For the Wang family of Taiyuan, although they did not win the throne of governor of Bingzhou, the position of governor of Bingzhou is not low. As the second-in-command of Bingzhou, he is the only one in Bingzhou.
Why so many people came to greet Cai Yong's arrival was mainly because of Cai Yong's other two identities: imperial master, contemporary great scholar, and founder of Fei Bai Ti. These three identities were enough for the civil and military officials of Bingzhou to travel ten miles from the city to greet him.
Cai Yong immediately jumped off his horse when he saw the people welcoming him. He jumped off his horse in front of the reception pavilion and said, "You talented people from Bingzhou have kept me waiting for a long time. It's a sin. It's a sin." He bowed deeply. All the civil and military officials in Bingzhou quickly returned the gift and said, "I don't dare to accept it."
Wang Qiu stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "It's been a tiring journey all the way. Let's enter the city first and then talk about other things."
Cai Yong read out the imperial edict in the lobby of Bingzhou Governor's Office, and everyone congratulated Wang Qiu.
Cai Yong said: "The new governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, will arrive a few days later, and Wang Changshi will take great care in handing over the affairs."
"It's easy to say, easy to say, and it will be handled properly. Please rest assured, Lord Angel."
Zhang Liao, who was demoted, didn't say anything. He had already joined Yang Xuanmo's Shanshan Army, and he didn't care whether he was demoted or not.
At gatherings of literati, it was inevitable to recite poems and write poems, which made the generals in Bingzhou feel very uncomfortable and drank too much. The generals of Lu Bu's line were the first to attack.
Cao Xing stood up and said, "It's pointless if you dare to drink. How about I dance with my sword to entertain you?" Cai Yong, an angel, replied: "Then let's ask the general to dance with his sword to entertain him."
Cao Xing pulled out the sword from his side and began to dance with it. There was only a shimmering cold light in the hall, and the air-conditioning was deep. Cao Xing moved his body towards Yang Xuanmo's seat while dancing his sword.
Pound took a look and said, "Damn it, this guy is not very authentic. He wants to plot against my general. This is not bad."
"Dancing the sword alone is boring, why don't we dance against each other?"
Pang De also pulled out his three-foot green-edged sword and faced Cao Xing's sword. Cao Xing's martial arts skills were mainly in archery, and his weapons were so-so. After five or six rounds, he could not withstand Pound's attack and was forced into danger by Pound's sword.
When Cao Xing was in danger, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu stepped forward to join the sword dancing team. Yang Xuanmo's men Gao Shun, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhang Liao also came off the field to help.
Pang De directly slashed Cao Xing's shoulder with a White Crane Wing. Yuwen Chengdu took advantage of the opponent's stunned moment and used the sword in his palm to move the bow from left to right. Phoenix San nodded and looked at Hou Cheng and Song Xian.
Lu Bu stood up in anger and was about to leave. Yang Xuanmo also stood up and said, "Master Lu, why are you so angry at the sword dance below? The injury is due to poor academic skills. You can't blame others, right?"
"Why do you guys still want to compete with me?"
"Since the Chief Registrar insists on taking action, I, Yang Xuanmo, can only cooperate."
Yang Xuanmo and Lu Bu were at war with each other, ready to fight if they disagreed. Everyone tried to persuade them to give up. The banquet broke up unhappy.
When Yang Xuanmo was about to leave Bingzhou Governor's Mansion, Cai Yong stopped him: "Nephew Xian, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to ask Nephew Xian to help with. I hope Nephew Xian will do it."
