Chapter 584 Meeting
The establishment of a system cannot be completed in a short time.
It requires someone to put forward an initiative, and then gather everyone's efforts to make plans and formulate detailed rules. Then do a pilot, find problems, get feedback, and then convene people to study and improve, and finally improve.
The whole process can take a few months or a few years. If someone blocks it in the middle, or the opposition is too loud, there is no telling how long it will take.
Now that Shao Xun has proposed this idea, he needs Wang Yan to help him design a plan based on the actual situation of the world.
As for why he was asked to design, this is not enough for outsiders to understand. Anyway, as long as Wang Yan knew a little, he was roasted on the fire by Shao Xun.
Thinking of this, I feel so sad that I can’t sleep.
Fortunately, this matter is not rushed. As a famous person in the world, Wang Yan is not in danger of exposing his butt yet, and can continue to pretend and handle public opinion for Shao Xun.
After putting this matter aside, he waited silently in Jinguyuan. On June 19, Shao Xun arrived with his troops.
After the court meeting on the 20th, a large number of court officials drove out of Ximing Gate and headed for Jingu Garden.
Shao Xun held a banquet in the garden to entertain everyone. For a time, the momentum of Jinguyuan vaguely surpassed that of the Luoyang court, which made people stunned.
In the middle of the banquet, Shao Xun summoned Taiwei Wang Yan, Situ Liu Tun, Shangshu Ling Yu Min, Zuopushe Liu Wang, Zhongshu Supervisor Zheng Yu, Ting Weiqing Zhuge Quan, and Northern Army Lieutenant Commander Pei Kuo. There are more than ten officials with real power, including Wang Hu of the Central Guards, Chen Qi, the left guard general, Li Yun, the right guard general, and Duan Liang, the heroic cavalry general.
When Shao Xun entered the summoning place, everyone stood up: "See Mr. Chen."
Shao Xun paused and glanced at everyone.
He knew very well that these people were all high-ranking officials who were relatively close to him on the surface, but in fact they could be divided into several factions.
Wang Yan, Yu Min, and Chen Jin are the three closest to him, and they do their best.
Although Pei Kuo was born in the Pei family, it was logical that he was close to him, but precisely because he was born in the Pei family, like the governor of Yuzhou, Yang Jiuzhi, and others, he always had an arrogance about him. He was relatively close, but not Extremely close, but generally trustworthy.
Wang Hu is not very clear-minded, and his treatment of others is very poor. He is a relatively pure soldier, but he wants to get involved in politics, but he has repeatedly hit a wall.
The reason why he has been promoted step by step over the years is entirely due to Shao Xun. He must also understand this deep down in his heart. His younger brother Wang Yinxian became the governor of the Mianbei Shogunate's Record Office and was also working for Shao Xun.
Wang Hu can also be trusted, although his brain is always cramped.
Chen Jin, Li Yun, and Duan Liang are in charge of the Forbidden Army. Chen Jin can be completely trusted. Duan Liang and Li Yun each have their own thoughts, but they can assess the situation and come to them in time. Even if they are not confidants, they can still be used.
Over the years, the emperor has been trying to win over the generals of the Forbidden Army. The three of them could not resist, but they also found opportunities to clean up and get rid of some people who were not determined. The remaining ones who really can't be moved will also inform Shao Xun so that he knows better.
In addition, under Shao Xun's instruction, they continued to promote his personal skills.
Huang Biao has no background. He was originally a top soldier, but he has been rising up the ranks over the years. He is now the Sima of the Left Guard Forward Battalion, commanding more than 2,000 heavy armored infantry. It was Shao Xun who borrowed their hands to accomplish this.
Xu Lang, the commander of the three divisions of the Zuowei, is in charge of the three battalions: the base, the vanguard, and the Qiannu battalion. His position has been unshakable for many years, and he firmly controls the backbone and elite forces of the Zuowei.
Sometimes, the competition is not about who is the most powerful official, but who holds the military power.
After the Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army became the de facto supreme commander of the Forbidden Army, positions such as the Central Protector and the Central Leader have gradually been reduced to mascots, and the military power does not even include that of the Lieutenant General, the Third Battalion Sima, or the Third Department. Middle and upper-level officers such as governors are strong.
There are many people competing for the three governors of Zuowei and Rightwei, but Xu Lang is as stable as a mountain because of his relationship with Shao Xun. Otherwise, he would have been pulled down long ago just because of his origins in the Donghai Xu family.
Miao Yuan, the Lieutenant General of the Zuowei Palace, the former Sima of the Right Guard Palace, Zheng Dong, the current Lieutenant General of the Palace, the former Duwei of Jijun, Yao Yuan, the current Sima of the Right Guard Palace, He Zhong, the Sima of the Youji Camp of the Right Guards, and others, are also They all rely on their cooperation to firmly control the military power.
Relatively speaking, warriors are more practical and more active in getting closer.
As for Liu Tun, Liu Wang, Zheng Yu and others, they often cooperate with Shao Xun in doing things, but it would be a mistake to regard them as one of your own. They are just soft and surrender to reality, but they can be driven at the moment.
"The main purpose of calling you here today is to discuss the attack on the Xiongnu." Shao Xun sat upright in the eyes of everyone and said matter-of-factly.
Although some people despise his background and think that he is a nouveau riche, his situation is stronger than others, and even though he is like this, they can only hold their noses and listen to him.
"Hongnong has been trapped by thieves for a long time and has looted Luoyang many times. Most of the princes' property is outside the city. Over the years, the villagers have fled and the houses have collapsed. Wouldn't it be a pity?" Shao Xun said: " In the past, the king of Liang and the king of Wuling died, and now there are the deaths of the king of Puyang (formerly the king of the city) and the king of Changsha. There are not a few ministers who have fallen into the hands of thieves. If the thieves continue to be so rampant, I think all the kings and their families will lose their lives. There is no way to leave the city. "
There is always a large opening to the west of Luoyang, through which the Huns cavalry can break into the suburbs of Luoyang to burn, kill and loot. And it is impossible for the princes, princes and ministers to stay in the city every day. As time goes by, there will be news that someone has been robbed by the Huns.
Before, King Liang and King Wuling (these two kings were actually one family) were killed. This spring, King Sima Ji of Puyang, King Sima Shuo of Changsha and their sons were killed.
In addition to the clan, there are also several ministers.
They had a manor outside the city. Although the villagers fled in large numbers, there were always some who did not escape or had nowhere to go, and were forced to stay in the local area to farm and collect for them.
They can't stay in Luoyang City forever. That would be the same as going to jail. They have to go out for some fresh air, right? As time goes by, something will inevitably happen.
"Perhaps we suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Xin'an three years ago and it is not advisable to move lightly." Shao Xun added: "But this time I led the army here as a backup, so we still have to fight." Everyone heard this. After talking, they all thought about it.
It is obvious. Duke Chen wanted the Forbidden Army to be the main force in attacking the city, so he brought troops to suppress the formation.
This battle was ostensibly to resolve Luoyang's flank threat, but in reality it was to contain the Huns and prevent Hongnong's troops, horses, and supplies from being used on other battlefields.
Considering that Wang Queer has led more than 30,000 troops in the northern expedition to Hanoi, Liu Qia, He Lun and others are confronting Shihu at Fangtou and Chaoge, and Li Chong and Jin Zheng are mainly attacking Shile, this is unexpected It was a total war against the Huns.
Many people say that Shao Xun is attacking Hebei, but it is obvious that his thinking is not bound to Hebei, but fights with the Huns from all directions that are conducive to attack. The Luoyang Forbidden Army is just a line on his map Just soldiers and horses.
"There is another matter. Xuzhou came to report that Xun Taizhang, the governor, has resigned and returned to his hometown." Shao Xun said: "Pengcheng's troops and horses are temporarily led by Liu Chou and Liu Wangqiao. Sima Rui has accepted the imperial edict. It is a rebellion, and Liu Wangqiao and Xi Daohui should join forces to suppress it. Xuzhou has been established, and there is no need to worry about the south. They can focus on the second attack on Xin'an, no matter what. "
It didn’t take long before Pengcheng was captured. If it weren't for someone like Shao Xun who could get five hundred miles of expedited news at any time, it would take a month at the fastest for other officials to know, and three to five months at a slower time.
Therefore, when Shao Xun said this, everyone was a little surprised.
Pengcheng, Xuzhou was suddenly divided into two halves.
The six counties of Pengcheng, Donghai, Lanling, Dongguan, Dong'an and Langya belong to Shaoxun.
The five counties of Xiapi, Linhuai, Huailing, Guangling and Tangyi belong to Sima Rui.
The two sides are still at war. If they cannot make a big breakthrough, then the Huai River will generally be the boundary. Unless Shao Bing can break through the Huai River and attack the Guangling area in one go, threatening Jianye.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, many Jianghuai gentry defected to Cao Cao, such as Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling. Nowadays, most of the gentry in Jiangbei, such as the Dai family in Guangling, are serving as officials in Jianye, but I don't know what happened to them in the end.
"After leaving the army, the army must have a commander. Who does Mr. Chen think can be the commander?" When everyone was silent, Shangshu ordered Yu Min to ask.
Shao Xun's eyes turned around, and finally stopped at Pei Kuo, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, and said: "Ke Jian has been in charge of the military brigade for a long time and is familiar with military affairs. Do you dare to take on such an important task?"
< br>Pei Kuo had expected it, and after hearing the words, he bowed and said: "Since Ming Gong has this intention, what else can I do to evade!"
Shao Xun is not a court official, and theoretically cannot command these people. , but Pei Kuo's behavior has undoubtedly made his stance public in front of everyone, and he will not be able to wash it off even if he wants to.
"Okay." Shao Xun was very satisfied and said: "When the army sets out, there will be a vanguard, a middle army, and backup. The vanguard must be selected carefully."
Pei Kuo understood. Asked: "Does the Ming Dynasty have anyone he cares about?"
"General Qingche Jiao Qiuke is the commander-in-chief of the former army, and Henan Yin Wuyi is his deputy." Shao Xun said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone bowed their heads.
This is not a good life. But, can the emperor agree?
"The most important thing in military warfare is speed. It is not an option for the imperial army to stay in Luoyang for several years. They have to be mobilized to fight." Shao Xun said: "I am a foreign minister, so it is not easy to treat me. This is a lot of talking. The Taiwei is the pillar of the country, so he should pay more attention to it."
Wang Yan knelt on the ground and bowed: "It's just a matter of duty."
"Join the army. When gathering a crowd, the key is to arouse the spirit. If the spirit is not aroused, it will be clumsy, and if it is clumsy, it will lead to failure. "Shao Xun said again: "Now that the army is gathered, we can ask the emperor to come to the countryside to boost morale."
Say this. As he spoke, he looked at Wang Yan and Yu Min.
Both of them nodded.
"That's all, let's adjourn the meeting." Shao Xun stood up neatly and ordered.
After leaving the venue, Shao Xun deliberately took a few steps slowly.
After a while, Wang Yan rushed over and said: "If the name is not right, the words will not be right. Does Taibai want to find a position in the court?"
Shao Xun pondered for a while.
Being an official in the court, especially a high-ranking official, is not convenient for serving as a local governor at the same time.
Of course you can force yourself to take on both roles, but it’s just not in line with the rules.
"In the past, the King of Donghai was the prime minister, leading the shepherds of Yanzhou and supervising the military affairs of the six states. If I concurrently held the imperial post, could I follow Sima Yue's story?" Shao Xun asked.
Wang Yan hesitated.
Shao Xun understood when he saw him like that, and said: "That's all, let's wait until I defeat Shile."
After saying that, he returned to the military camp.
