In Ding Palace, Liu Hong knew that Liu Bian believed more in Xun You, so he panicked after hearing this.
Liu Hong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. We still need to wait for Mr. Yuan's reply. We must not make a hasty decision!"
If he really wants to conquer Dong Zhuo with a large army, Liu Hong is worried that it will cause a series of terrible consequences, which will further weaken the imperial court and allow other ambitious people to gain power.
Wang Yun didn't speak, his face was also filled with concentration.
Yang Biao bowed his head and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his head.
Xun You glanced at Ding Gong and Liu Hong, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and continued: "Your Majesty, please make preparations in advance. You must work hard together and there must be no stalemate!"
In Ding Palace, Liu Hong was dissatisfied with Xun You, an ignorant lunatic. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Liu Bian waved his hand with a smile.
"My lords, there is no need to argue,"
Liu Bian smiled lightly and said: "What I just said is that Dong Zhuo refused to obey the imperial edict, but according to my judgment, more than 90% of him will obey the imperial edict."
His judgment was well-founded. First, although the troops in Dong Zhuo's hands were elite troops that had experienced battles, the total number would not exceed 20,000. The remaining power of the Han Dynasty was still there, and Dong Zhuo could not catch the kind of fluke in history. A lucky chance will not lead to death.
Furthermore, the Han Dynasty court is still attractive enough to people all over the world. Dong Zhuo may not be able to refuse the post of Taiwei.
Ding Gong, Liu Hong felt a little relieved. As long as there was no fight, there was still room for everything.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Sima and the Chariot and Cavalry Generals are reporting."
Suddenly, a small yellow door came in from the side door, bowed to Liu Bian, and said: "Zhonglang General Gongsun Zan has arrived in Hedong, Lu Shijun has been sworn in, and Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan returned to Hanoi yesterday."
Ding Gong and Liu Hong were shocked when they heard this.
Hanoi, Hedong, Sanfu, plus Youzhou, and Bingzhou have been surrounded!
There is no need to worry about this, 90% or something, it is obviously ready!
Only then did Wang Yun and Yang Biao become alert and began to panic.
They don't want to go to war. Wouldn't it be nice to live in peace?
Facing these gazes, Liu Bian coughed in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "Young ladies, there is no need to be nervous, just be prepared. I still say what I said, I believe Dong Zhuo is still loyal to the court."
Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and even Xun You all knew that this was just a joke and didn't believe it at all.
Ding Gong was shocked and doubtful, and raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of room for change in this matter. I ask your Majesty to think twice and never conquer the pastor of a state easily."
Liu Hong was equally nervous and followed up: "Your Majesty, once the Bingzhou Mu is conquered, Xiliang will be frightened and may start more rebellions. Please be careful and deal with it in a proper way."
Wang Yun sat still, looking thoughtful.
Yang Biao raised his hand to wipe his sweat, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Xun You, however, said in a deep voice without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if you keep cutting off, the consequences will be hard to come by. If you don't do it, it will be bad. If it does, it will be like thunder, shocking the world!"
Liu Bian was very satisfied with Xun You's words. Seeing that Ding Gong and others were about to refute, he smiled and said: "My dear friends, please be at ease. I will not take this step unless it is absolutely necessary."
Of course not, he still covets Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers!
This is an elite division that has made even the eighteen princes not get much advantage!
Ding Gong and Liu Hong looked at Liu Bian and hesitated to speak. How could there be any common sense in what this young majesty has done since he ascended the throne?
They didn't want to fight, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
After all, Liu Bian's preparations were a matter of course.
Liu Bian glanced at them, picked up the official document in front of him, and his eyes fell on the 'Sangong Mansion'. He was determined to abolish it, but he couldn't rush it now. If he proposed it now, I'm afraid that not even Ding Gong or Liu Hong would be able to do it. accepted.
After thinking about it, I put it down and picked up the next one.
This book is about the 'military system', but the content is very small. It is mainly about Luoyang City, one is the Forbidden Army, and the other is the Yulin Army.
Basically, the guards and the various establishments of the two original palaces were abolished and handed over to the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army was divided into two parts: the South Palace and the North Palace.
The Yulin Army guarded Luoyang and basically abolished the previous intricate guard system. The Southern and Northern Army, Qimen, City Gate School Lieutenants, etc. have basically disappeared.
And Jin Wu and others have completely become official officials.
Liu Bian watched quietly, his expression unconsciously showing caution.
This was only for Luoyang City and involved the Han Dynasty as a whole, especially the local military system. Not only did Ding Gong and others not ask for instructions verbally, they didn't even draft a few memorials or official documents.
The Han Dynasty implemented a recruitment system, that is, in addition to retaining a small number of troops from the court, there were basically no local garrison troops. When something happened, they would recruit temporarily.
This resulted in the fact that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the imperial court had no time to take care of it. Local powerful people arose everywhere, including state shepherds, governors, prefects, counties, various famous families, and local wealthy families, as long as they had some money and influence. Recruiting troops and buying horses became de facto princes, large and small.
The imperial court is now dark and weak. Once the Han military system is reformed, even if a little bit of news is leaked, it will definitely cause extremely terrible consequences!
'You still have to strengthen yourself! '
Liu Bian whispered to himself that without enough strength, these local princes, large and small, would not pay attention to the imperial court's orders.
"His Majesty,"
While Liu Bian was deep in thought, Pan Yin walked closer, holding a memorial in his hand, and whispered.
Liu Bian glanced at him, reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it, with a strange look on his face.
This is a "Praise Memorial" written by Zheng Xuan. It is roughly that Yuan Ji raised money and food in Qingzhou to perform meritorious services, appease the refugees effectively, and recruit promising young people.
Liu Bian looked at the word 'Zheng Xuan' and couldn't help but admire the Yuan family's methods.
Zheng Xuan was a great man in the world. He disdained official career and concentrated on his studies. He hid in his hometown and rarely left the house, rarely seeing outsiders. For him to come forward to write such a memorial shows the influence of the Yuan family.
What Liu Bian didn't know was that Zheng Xuan was Ma Rong's disciple, and Ma Rong's daughter married Yuan Wei.
Liu Bian raised his head, smiled and said to the officials in the palace: "Yuan Shiji arrived in Qingzhou, and in just ten days, he raised 20 million yuan, appeased 6,000 refugees, and recruited 3,000 young people..."
Everyone frowned when they heard this. They were all smart people, and they didn't understand the meaning of this memorial.
Liu Bian put down the memorial and said: "It is my decree that Yuan Ji has made great contributions and has been promoted to Imperial Servant."
"Yes." Pan Yin responded.
In the past, Ding Gong, Liu Hong and others would have stopped him, but now they did not speak. Because the imperial servant was eliminated, there was not much real power left.
"Twenty million yuan is equivalent to exchanging two hundred thousand taels of silver for a servant. The Yuan family is really willing to give it up." '
Liu Bian smiled on his face and in his heart. You know, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, bought Taiwei, and he only spent no more than 10 million.
"Your Majesty, a secret letter from Colonel Cao." A young man from a small yellow gate stepped in, holding up a letter.
Liu Bian's smile suddenly disappeared, he grabbed it, tore it open, took out the letter and looked down at it.
He has been waiting for this letter for several days!
But before he finished reading, his expression slowly changed, his eyes were half-closed, and his expression was dull.
When Ding Gong, Liu Hong and others saw it, their hearts suddenly thumped, and then they all looked at each other.
Be bad!
