Along the steps of the North Tower, Liu Che climbed up the tower step by step.︾
The officer on duty hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Welcome Your Majesty!" He said with a new military salute.
Liu Che glanced at the officer, and the information about this person immediately flashed in his mind: Xu Jin, a native of Qinghe County, the captain of Tuenmen in the northern palace of Weiyang Palace, once served in Yunzhong County, and was the former prefect of Yunzhong County Wei Shang.
If nothing happens to the recommended general, after serving two years in Chang'an, he will return to Yunzhong and serve as at least a captain.
In the six months since he ascended the throne, Liu Che has firmly memorized the personal information, character and appearance of the entire Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace guards, as well as the officers above Sima.
No matter how busy Liu Che was, he had personally seen every new soldier in the palace guards and patrol guards in important areas, and had given him encouragement.
This is a method learned from Emperor Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty to control his guard troops.
Through this method, Liu Che now dare not say that he has the northern and southern armies completely in his hands. At least, he has basically firmly controlled the garrison troops at each palace gate and the troops controlling the important passages of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
.
The methods Liu Che used were not unusual at all.
Take off your clothes and feed them.
It's just a bad plot used in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But the effect is surprisingly good!
It is conceivable that if you were that soldier or officer, if something unexpected happened, would you be willing to follow a leader who remembers your name and often gives encouragement, or would you be willing to follow a leader who is so superior that even looking at you would feel inappropriate?
Noble relative?
This is almost a no-brainer!
"Xu Xiaowei..." Liu Che looked into the distance without deliberately showing any wooing attitude. However, his words were soft and powerful. Inadvertently, Xu Jin felt that the emperor was trying to win over him.
He treated him as one of his own - as an emperor, Liu Che could be so 'approachable' when talking to a Tuenmen captain like Xu Jin, who only had 800 kilograms of gold, which was condescending in itself!
This is almost comparable to the boss of the later Chinese dynasty taking the initiative to shake hands with the armed police guarding the gate of the Forbidden City!
Not to mention, the emperor Liu Che could actually call the other party's last name.
Just imagine, in China, after the boss shakes hands with you, he can also call you by your position and name. What a huge impact this has on you!
At this moment, Xu Jin was so excited that he couldn't speak. He straightened his back, stood in front of Liu Che, and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Xu Xiaowei once served in Yunzhong for three years?" Liu Che asked: "I wonder what Xu Xiaowei thinks about Yunzhong's defense?"
"Report to Your Majesty!" Xu Jin replied respectfully: "I once served as a team leader, Sima and other positions in Yunzhong County. The year before last, the Huns invaded Yunzhong. I was lucky enough to serve under the former governor of Yunzhong County, Wei Gong.
, fighting with the captives. In my humble opinion, the soldiers and civilians in Yunzhong are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and work together from top to bottom. The city is high and the walls are deep. In addition, with Wei Gong sitting in charge, it can be said that everything is foolproof!"
Liu Che nodded.
Wei Shang, the current governor of Yunzhong County, is a veteran general.
It can be called the pillar of the country!
Perhaps not much has been written about this old general in history, and few people know about it.
However, Liu Che has admired this old general for a long time!
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty more than 50 years ago, they have fought hundreds of battles with the Xiongnu. The winning rate is the same as the winning rate of the Chinese team against the Korean team in the later LoL World Finals.
Most of the time, once the Xiongnu broke through the barrier, they almost drove straight in and were invincible. They had to wait until the general mobilization in Guanzhong and the Han Dynasty gathered hundreds of thousands of troops before they leisurely exited the Great Wall with the looted wealth and population.
However, in Yunzhong County, the Huns never took any advantage.
Since the recorded history of the Han Dynasty, the Huns have been defeated again and again in Yunzhong, and even the top nobles of the Danghu level were killed in battle under Yunzhong City.
Yunzhong County was a city that never fell during the Han-Hungarian War in the early Western Han Dynasty.
It is also a nail that always stands on the border between Han and Hungary!
The person who single-handedly built Yunzhong County into such a powerful city is Wei Shang, who has been in charge of Yunzhong County for nearly twenty years.
In Liu Che's previous life, people once compared Wei Shang and Zhi Du to Zhao She and Li Mu, the famous generals of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period!
Xu Jin's evaluation of Wei Shang is actually very objective in the current environment!
For the Han people who have suffered from the Xiongnu invasion for a long time, Yunzhong County is a flag symbolizing hope!
The reputation of Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, is almost unparalleled at this time!
Last year, Wu Chu rebelled, and Liu Che's emperor father, even at the most critical moment, did not consider dispatching even a single soldier from Yunzhong. He even sent additional troops to Yunzhong County from Daibei and other places.
Five thousand crossbowmen were recruited to guard against the Huns who might invade.
At that time, the Han Dynasty's strategy was to rely on strong cities such as Yunzhong and Daibei to resist and delay the invasion of the Huns.
Judging from the information currently available, the Xiongnu at that time did not completely consider taking advantage of the situation.
However, Yunzhong City became a city that made the main war factions within the Xiongnu despair.
Three years ago, King Youxian of the Xiongnu divided his main force into two groups to invade, marching all the way to the north, breaking through the northern counties. His troops reached Xiaoguan, and the beacon fire could be seen in Chang'an.
The other way is to choose to use the cloud as a breakthrough point.
As a result, progress along the Daibei route was relatively smooth, but in the Yunzhong direction, it turned into a war of attrition.
By the time the war was over, the Huns had left hundreds of heads under Yunzhong City!
It can be called an unprecedented victory in the history of the war between Han and Hungary!
Although there is no way to compare with the number of beheadings by Huo Qubing and Wei Qing later, at this time, it was an unprecedented victory!
And the intelligence afterwards proved that the Huns killed a large number of people in the battle under Yunzhong City!
And he was also the confidant of King Youxian at that time!
In fact, King Youxian of the Huns at that time was later defeated in the political struggle, which had a lot to do with the defeat of Yunzhong.
The Xiongnu were very afraid of Wei Shang. To what extent were they afraid?
According to the information sent back by the undercover agents placed by the Han Dynasty in the Xiongnu, in some tribes of the Xiongnu, there were people who made Wei Shang look like him with grass and shot arrows every day. But they always missed... So the Huns thought that Wei Shang
He's a god. He even set up a memorial ceremony for him...
But then again, the religion of the Huns is indeed very strange - anyone they think they can't defeat will treat them as gods and set up sacrifices for them.
In history, there were many Han generals who enjoyed the treatment of the Huns.
Wei Shang, Zhi Du, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and even idiots like the Second Division General Li Guangli all enjoyed the treatment of the Xiongnu sacrifices...
Liu Che looked away from the distance.
He looked at Xu Jin and said: "I know that Mr. Meng Shu is the pillar of the country. However, Mr. Meng Shu is already seventy years old. Although he is old and has ambitions of thousands of miles, after all, he is already in his twilight years. Mr. Meng Shu has been in recent years.
We have written several times to beg for the remains. I and the late emperor thought that the defense of Yunzhong was inseparable from Duke Meng Shu, so we decided to keep him strong. However, I also knew that I was afraid that we would have to find a successor for Duke Meng Shu, Xu Xiaowei.
.Meng Shugong recommended you and several other rising stars to me in his memorial. You must not let down Meng Shugong’s hard work!”
This is why Liu Che took advantage of today's exam break to talk to Xu Jin.
Yunzhong County is a sign and a banner set up by the Han Dynasty, and a successor must be chosen!
In the previous life, the Han Dynasty was caught up in the political struggle over the crown prince's abolition and establishment in the past few years. Almost no one cared about the affairs of Yunzhong County.
As a result, once Wei Shang died, Yunzhong's defense quickly deteriorated.
During the Xiaozhu Dynasty, Yunzhong City, which the Huns once dared not peek into, was actually attacked by the Huns' cavalry several times...
Liu Che doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again!
A more realistic consideration is that Yunzhong City is currently an important strategic fortress of the Han Dynasty on the Great Wall defense line, and Liu Che naturally hopes to have it in his hands.
He naturally has to personally check the candidates for the next Yunzhong County Sheriff.
Xu Jin is one of the candidates.
Liu Che has already contacted several other candidates, and overall, he is not very satisfied.
Otherwise, Liu Che would not have come to inspect Xu Jin, a spare tire worth only 800 shi.
When Xu Jin heard this, he lowered his head and said: "I have a humble position, how dare I look up to the county governor? Your Majesty and Duke Wei are too fond of me..."
Liu Che shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought so at first..."
Carrying the ribbon, he walked to the entrance of the arrow tower of the North Tower, looked at the various examination rooms where exams were taking place, and said, "But Meng Shugong strongly recommended Aiqing to me!"
In fact, this is also the case. If Wei Shang hadn't strongly recommended it, Liu Che would not have put a small Tuenmen captain like Xu Jin on the candidate list for the powerful two thousand stone governor - according to common sense, even if
Even if Xu Jin is given ten years, he may not be qualified to serve as the county guard of two thousand stones, let alone the top officer of a military town like Yunzhong.
But fortunately, Liu Che is the emperor.
As long as he says yes, it doesn't matter if it doesn't!
According to Liu Che's current observations and knowledge about Xu Jin, this person is quite good at leading troops, and he is also very stable.
Wang Dao's intelligence system has also checked all three generations of Xu Jin's ancestors and found no stains.
Judging from the comments about Xu Jin received from generals at all levels of the Southern Army, there is no problem with this person in terms of ability, and his political attitude is also relatively reliable.
Now, the only thing Liu Che is unsure about is whether Xu Jin has the ability to serve as the governor of Yunzhong County?
At the very least, Xu Jin had to show Liu Che that he had the potential to serve as the governor of a county and protect the country and the people!
Otherwise, Liu Che will have to choose one of the current veterans to serve as the governor of Yunzhong County.
only……
Use veterans, but drink poison to quench your thirst.
Li Ji is almost sixty this year, Han Baidang is over fifty, Luan Bu is seventy, and Uncle Tian is over eighty.
After these veteran generals are buried, the only generals available to the Han Dynasty are Li Guang, Dou Ying, and Cheng Bushi and Han Anguo who have not yet risen.
Wei Qing is just a child now, and Huo Qubing has no trace at all.
Therefore, Liu Che must dig out a group of generals who can be used. At the very least, he must rely on these generals to survive until Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are born. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
