Chapter 624 Liu Hong’s real goal, Jizhou situation
Luoyang, Situ Mansion, Wang Yun Mansion.
At this moment, Wang Yun, Cai Yong and other friends were in Situ's mansion.
Although the danger of Bingzhou has been resolved, and Wang Yu also fought in Hetao and won an exciting victory, Wang Yun, who is the spokesperson of the Wang family in Taiyuan, does not show any joy at this moment.
"Senior Brother Zi, now that my nephew has defeated the grassland coalition forces and strengthened our Han army in a battle, it is time to be happy. Why do you look like you are not happy?" Cai Yong couldn't help but wonder.
"The main thing is that there are some things that I really don't understand!" Wang Yun immediately explained after hearing this: "I can understand that His Majesty named Ziying a former general!"
"The former general is the head of the four great generals, ranking higher than the Nine Ministers, and only below the three generals such as the Hussars General!"
"Now that the war front is sluggish, the imperial court canonizing Ziying as a former general can boost the morale of the frontline soldiers and let them know clearly that as long as they kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, the imperial court will not be stingy with rewards."
Military positions in the Eastern Han Dynasty roughly followed those of the Western Han Dynasty, and general positions can be roughly divided into: generals with heavy titles and generals with miscellaneous titles.
Generals with heavy titles are basically not often placed, because these military positions are the first echelon of generals in the Han Dynasty, namely: generals who are higher than the three princes, generals of hussars, generals of chariots and generals, and generals of guard.
The general is the head of the military generals and controls the military power of the country. His military position is higher than that of the three Dukes. However, in the late Han Dynasty, he was sometimes above the Three Dukes and sometimes below the Three Dukes.
However, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the general was undoubtedly superior to the three princes. Therefore, in the original history of Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao was the general and Yuan Shao was the Taiwei, Yuan Shao was "disgracefully subordinate to Taizu".
As for the Cavalry General, the Cavalry General and the Guard General are all under the Great General, and they also have a status comparable to the Three Dukes.
The second echelon is: the generals of the four armies, the generals of the four expeditions, and the generals of the four towns.
The four generals of the army are: the front general, the left general, the right general, and the rear general.
The four generals are: the general who conquers the east, the general who conquers the south, the general who conquers the west, and the general who conquers the north.
The four generals are: General Zhendong, General Zhennan, General Zhenxi, and General Zhenbei.
These general titles only appeared on the weekends, but they were not often used during the Han Dynasty. It was not until the end of the Han Dynasty when heroes came one after another that the second echelon frequently appeared as generals with heavy titles, with positions below the three princes and above the nine ministers.
The third echelon is General Si'an, General Siping, and General Zhonglang!
The four generals are: General Anton, General Annan, General Anxi, and General Anbei.
He had this title during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was ranked third Duke, under the generals of the four towns.
General Siping, namely: General Pingdong, General Pingnan, General Pingxi, and General Pingbei, was established at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was ranked as the ninth minister, under General Si'an.
This time, the former general named Wang Yu by the Han Dynasty court was a truly powerful general, the first of the four generals, and second only to the first echelon generals with heavy titles.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Yun frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Although I can understand this, I can't see through His Majesty's appointment of Ziying as Marquis of Wuyang."
"This is indeed reasonable. I can't understand your majesty's move. Wuyang is the territory under the rule of Yingchuan. How could your majesty give this place as a fief to Ziying? Even if it is a reward, it should be the land of Bingzhou?"
Cai Yong was puzzled for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. A possibility emerged in his mind, and he murmured to himself: "Does your Majesty want to place Ziying in Yingchuan to prevent him from using the Bingzhou Army to come?
Do you support your troops and respect yourself?"
"That's right, it's Yingchuan!" Wang Yun suddenly realized, his eyes filled with sharp colors!
"Yingchuan is very close to Runan. In order to weaken Ziying's reputation, His Majesty specially placed him in Yicheng in the south. In fact, he wanted to use the wealthy families in Jingzhou to deal with him."
"It's just that because Jingtian suddenly appeared in Jingzhou, even His Majesty can only pretend that he didn't see it."
"And now, through this Battle of Hetao, Ziying's prestige in the Bingzhou Army has reached a new level. How can our suspicious Majesty remain indifferent!"
"That's why he thought of a way to place Ziying in Wuyang, which would allow him to take back his territory, fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and form a mutual check and balance with the Yuan family in Runan."
"At the same time, to a large extent, it prevents him from relying on his own troops. After all, those people in Runan will not watch him develop his strength and pretend they have not seen anything."
"I have to say that His Majesty really made a good calculation." Wang Yun said coldly.
"If this is really the case, it will be difficult after this battle." Cai Yong said sadly.
…………
Jizhou, Julu County, Guangzong County.
After Zhang Bao was defeated by Huangfu Song, Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Tiangong General, personally led the army to attack the counties in Jizhou!
Of course, Zhang Jiao knew what he was capable of. Although his military strength was stronger than that of his second brother Zhang Bao, his strength was still limited. Therefore, Zhang Jiao only acted as a mascot and handed over the command of the army to
Dou Jiande.
When Dou Jiande was born, although his basic commander level only had 93 points, his real strength was not. After all, he could unify the entire land of Hebei and defeat Xu Shiji, who had not yet reached his peak. Dou Jiande was a silver-level commander, and so on.
However, due to the system at that time, there may be detection errors due to the low level.
Just like at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Dou Jiande's commander attribute broke through to 94 due to several battles with Huangfu Song. With continuous growth in the past few months, Dou Jiande took a step further and successfully entered the silver level.
In this way, under the offensive of the army commanded by Dou Jiande, most of the three counties and six feudal states of Jizhou, including Julu, Qinghe, Anping, Zhao, Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, had fallen.
Today, in Jizhou, only the two counties of Wei and Bohai are still completely in the hands of the Han army.
Just like in the original history, the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army once again faced off in the small Guangzong County, but this time, the leading general changed. The Han Army was no longer Lu Zhi, but Huangfu Song.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Army was no longer Zhang Jiao, but Dou Jiande.
Although Huangfu Song has strong leadership ability, after completing the Jingguan achievement, his five-dimensional attribute was permanently rewarded with 1, and his basic commander level reached 98 points.
But his opponent Dou Jiande also had a commander level of 95. More importantly, Huangfu Song only had 100,000 troops under his command, while Dou Jiande had an army of 300,000.
What Huangfusong can do now is to nail it here like a nail, blocking Dou Jiande's 300,000 troops so that he cannot support other places.
