Soon, the court issued an order.
In addition to Zhang Wen becoming the commander-in-chief of the battle against Liangzhou in the name of General of Chariots and Cavalry, he also arranged several military personnel to assist him. Among them, the imperial court worshiped Dong Zhuo as the general who broke the bandits, Zhou Shen as the general who broke the bandits, and Liu Bei. For the cavalry captain.
Generals such as General Polu and General Dangkou were all generals with miscellaneous titles at this time. They were not permanent. They were usually set up temporarily when there was military situation, and they were withdrawn immediately after the matter was completed. The general titles were not retained.
The cavalry captain is in charge of the cavalry and ranks as a general. He is at the same level as the captain and has no fixed number. He is nominally under the management of Guang Luxun, but in fact, it is usually someone close to the emperor who is trusted to hold this position.
When the news came out that Liu Bei had taken up this position, the reaction from everyone in the imperial court was quite large.
Especially for those who followed him, it was a mixed blessing.
Fortunately, Liu Bei's status has been rising steadily. Being appointed as the Cavalry Commander to participate in the battle against thieves obviously means that he has gained the emperor's trust, and the emperor has expectations for Liu Bei.
What worries me is why does Liu Bei go to the battlefield again?
Can't you just settle down and study hard, and then inherit the inheritance of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", and finally take us to ascend together?
Obviously, he only needs to be promoted in the chancellery, make troubles under the eyes of the emperor, wait for a few years to complete his studies, and then inherit the Zuo family's Spring and Autumn Period from Lu Zhi, then he can start a sect.
When the time comes, Liu Bei will be able to be his own university advisor, train students honestly in a safe place, push his reputation to a new level, and hope to become the future leader of the Ancient Literature School. Isn't this a good route?
Previously, public opinion generally believed that the emperor placed Liu Bei in the Secretariat for promotion because he valued Liu Bei's love and care for Liu Bei and wanted to carefully cultivate Liu Bei's performance, so he allowed him to hone his abilities in the Secretariat.
This not only allows Liu Bei to exercise his abilities, but it is also relatively safe. In the future, Liu Bei can take the route of three public servants and nine ministers.
As a inheritor of classics and a high-ranking official, it is not difficult to take this opportunity to recruit disciples and former officials, cultivate the power of the Liu family, and then train his own sons and grandsons so that they can easily enter the official career and become high-ranking officials.
If Liu Bei lived longer and lived to be sixty or seventy years old, it would not be a bad idea to see the Liu family of Zhuo County in Zhuo County create the great cause of the Three Generations and Three Dukes in his lifetime!
The Liu family of Zhuo County, the Three Generations and Three Dukes!
How majestic!
A family prospers because of the appearance of one person. This kind of thing has happened many times in the past, and many families surrounding Liu Bei are looking forward to it.
Engaging in political struggle in Luoyang is better than Liu Bei going to the battlefield to fight bloody battles, but Liu Bei himself does not seem to have a stable temper. After fighting in the Hebei battlefield once, it was not enough, and he also had to go to the Liangzhou battlefield.
Going to the battlefield is very dangerous!
But there is no way. Liu Bei's personal will cannot be controlled by everyone. Everyone can only bite the bullet and accept the fact that Liu Bei will go to the battlefield again, and then find ways to do everything possible to protect Liu Bei's safety.
Compared with the last time, Liu Bei can mobilize more resources this time.
This time, the forces surrounding him can be roughly divided into three systems.
One is the professional military system, the other is the General Affairs Department system, and the other is the interpersonal communication system.
The professional military system is represented by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Dong Huang and others who are studying and training in the army, as well as Qian Zhao, Liu Yong, Liu Sheng and others who are currently following Lu Zhi in Jizhou.
They are the military team specially trained by Liu Bei. They learn professional military skills from the professional Han army and have the closest relationship with him. No matter what happens in the future, they will be Liu Bei's decisive team and can turn things around. effect.
Needless to say, the Ministry of General Affairs system was specially trained by him to be used as his administrative team. In the future, this system will be very important whether he is fighting for power in the court or among the ancient literature school.
It is not enough to have a military team alone, but also to have a strong enough administrative team. A complete political organization needs to be able to support both civil and military forces, but strong force is not feasible.
Therefore, Liu Bei took advantage of the ancient literature school to select outstanding scholars who needed help from the ancient literature school to join the Ministry of General Affairs, and used sufficient benefits and perfect rules to win over people's hearts. Even if he could not incorporate all of them into his starting group, he could at least leave quite a few. part of the human heart.
These two systems are Liu Bei's core systems, his core strength, and entities that can use his will as the highest guiding will.
As for the third interpersonal communication system, it is mainly composed of some official figures that Liu Bei has made friends with or large families with great influence, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Zheng Xuan, Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang, There are also Zhang Miao and others.
These people themselves are their own faction and are not dominated by Liu Bei's will for the time being. However, they are limited to certain reasons, so they can provide Liu Bei with some additional help if necessary.
Among these people, only Cao Cao and the Cao family behind him were more deeply bound to Liu Bei because of the future of their descendants, and were close to being dominated by him.
Other official figures and big families have friendly relations with Liu Bei, nothing more.
After calculating the power he could currently control, Liu Bei was quite satisfied.
Judging from the current situation, the power he can control has only been a few months since the Taiping Dao Rebellion, but it has more than doubled. He is constantly tossing and turning, jumping up and down in various ways, and it is indeed It had a great effect.
Therefore, this expedition is mainly based on the military system and the Ministry of General Affairs system, and the Cao family to which Cao Cao belongs can provide him with special help because of its special relationship with the coach Zhang Wen.
And this kind of special help is something Cao Cao is very willing to give.
Before the expedition, Cao Cao took Liu Bei to visit Zhang Wen in person. Zhang Wen went out to greet Cao Cao in person. His attitude was very cordial and he was also very friendly to Liu Bei.
In this battle, Liu Bei commanded the cavalry as a cavalry captain. According to the order, it was directly under the command of Zhang Wen. The bandit general Zhou Shen and the polu general Dong Zhuo each led a group of troops and were not directly under Zhang Wen's command. Wen headquarters.
So Cao Cao brought Liu Bei to visit Zhang Wen. He just wanted Zhang Wen to take care of Liu Bei to some extent. It would be fatal if he was disliked by his immediate superiors on the battlefield.
Moreover, the relationship between Zhang Wen and the eunuchs in the palace was relatively close, and the relationship between Liu Bei and the eunuchs was a bit subtle, so Cao couldn't accept this result and specially sent someone to explain to Zhang Wen.
For Cao Teng's sake, don't embarrass Liu Bei.
In fact, when Zhang Wen saw Cao Cao bringing Liu Bei to the door, he felt a little helpless.
Not to mention promoting his own Cao family, there was also news from the eunuchs, saying that they hoped he would take care of Liu Bei to some extent. He also said that this was the emperor's wish and hoped that Zhang Wen would not get it wrong.
So Jin Gui, what fight are you here to fight?
Zhang Wen was somewhat confused about Liu Bei's intention to join the war.
The Liangzhou rebels will not ignore your status. The higher your status, the happier they will be, and they will definitely use their full strength to deal with you.
It's very difficult for me to deal with the rebels and take care of Liu Bei at the same time.
The only thing that can give him some comfort is that Liu Bei seems to be a man who knows the military. He is Lu Zhi's disciple. He has made military exploits on the battlefield in Hebei and has a military title. It seems that he is not a simple gilded parallel import.
Zhang Wen made up his mind and tried his best to keep Liu Bei in the army and use him as a military staff officer or something. He would not be allowed to actually go to the battlefield to lead the troops to fight, so as to avoid many troubles.
If he wants military merits, then give him some military merits when the military merits are settled. Isn’t this his own decision?
