Of course, there was something strange in the way Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao. It was not that he suspected Cao Cao like Chun Yuqiong, but he secretly lamented that Cao Cao was so lucky and was used by Jian Shuo as a tool to drive a wedge between them. It was a waste of money.
.
Cao Cao sat there, calm and relaxed. As for the strange looks from Chunyu Qiong and Xia Mou, Cao Cao didn't take it to heart at all.
With Cao Cao's wisdom, he could not see that the reason why he, like Chu Yi, was able to command three thousand men was because he had an unclear connection with the eunuchs, so he was taken over by Jian Shuo.
Use it as a tool to alienate everyone.
Of course there are benefits, so Cao Cao naturally would not refuse, but happily bowed his hand to Jian Shuo and accepted the order.
Jian Shuo sat there, looking at the crowd with a smile and said: "Do you have any opinions on the distribution of my officers?"
Chunyu Qiong, who was simmering with anger because of Jian Shuo's assignment, saw Jian Shuo speak, stood up suddenly, stared at Jian Shuo, and was about to speak, when he saw Yuan Shao slowly stood up, raised his hands to Jian Shuo and said:
"Jian Xiaowei's allocation is really reasonable. Yuan has no objection..."
"What……"
Xia Mou and others originally wanted to join forces with Yuan Shao and Jian Shuo to argue, but the result was good. Yuan Shao actually approved Jian Shuo's allocation, and all of a sudden they were put on the spot.
Looking at Yuan Shao and then Jian Shuo, the angry Chunyu Qiong could only roar: "I will definitely report this matter to the general."
Hearing this, Jian Shuo couldn't help snorting coldly and said: "The eight schools of Xiyuan are commanded by Jian. Even if He Jin comes in person, Jian will distribute them in this way."
It can be said that at this time, because of the emperor Liu Hong's fear of He Jin, Jian Shuo's status was raised to an extremely high level. Even He Jin would bow down when he saw Jian Shuo.
Waving his long sleeves, Jian Shuo glanced at the crowd and said, "If it doesn't make any sense to you, then we will act according to these regulations in the future. I hope that within a month, the Eighth School's troops will be fully staffed. If there is something that cannot be done,
If so, then don’t blame Jian for being unkind.”
After Jian Shuo and Chu Yi left together, Chunyu Qiong in the big tent kicked the desk in front of him to the ground, and shouted angrily: "I am so angry that I am really angry. He Jian
It’s really unbearable for Shuo to humiliate us like this.”
Chun Yuqiong looked at Yuan Shao and said, "At first, Jian Shuo didn't take us to heart at all. He bullied us like this. If we don't give him any color..."
Looking at Chunyu Qiong lightly, Yuan Shao said: "Oh, I wonder how General Chunyu can retaliate? Don't forget that the person standing behind Jian Shuo is the emperor, and every move he makes represents the will of the emperor. I dare
If today's events were to reach the ears of the emperor, the emperor would be very happy and would not feel anything unfair about Jian Shuo's arrangement."
Chunyu Qiong looked at Yuan Shao with a look of reluctance and said, "Do you think this matter should be settled like this?"
Yuan Shao smiled half-heartedly and said: "Haha, is it really a child's play to lead an army to fight? You don't think that he, Jian Shuo and Chu Yi, the two eunuchs, have any ability to lead an army, do they? By then they will be able to gather the number of people
It’s already great to come here, not to mention the training of troops and horses.”
Xia Mou and the others, who were originally angry, suddenly lit up when they heard what Yuan Shao said. They ignored this point and subconsciously thought that Jian Shuo and Chu Yi were more capable of commanding and training troops. Now think about it, Jian Shuo,
How could Chu Yi and the two of them compare with them?
Although after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, some generals in the Han army showed their ability to lead troops, but for a long time, even the capital had only stationed tens of thousands of troops, and those generals did not even have the opportunity to lead troops.
, so during this period, it was not that easy to find good generals to lead the army and train troops.
Perhaps there are indeed born generals in this world, but 99% of generals have slowly accumulated experience and grown up in bloody battles.
Just like the reason why a group of amazing generals emerged in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, to a certain extent, the times created heroes. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these people were born with this aptitude. They happened to be in troubled times and learned what they had learned.
display.
Just like Chunyu Qiong, Chunyu Qiong asked himself that his ability to command troops was acceptable, but if he was really asked to train thousands of soldiers and horses, he really didn't have much confidence.
Even those who can be called proficient in military affairs cannot guarantee that they can train thousands of new soldiers. So it would be strange if Jian Shuo and Chu Yi, who were born as eunuchs, could lead thousands of soldiers and horses.
.
After appeasing Chunyu Qiong and others, Yuan Shao sat down next to Cao Cao, put his arm around Cao Cao's shoulders and smiled: "Aman, you have benefited from us this time. Please tell us how you want to thank us."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't mind, Qing Yulou, Cao will be my host."
Feeling refreshed, Jian Shuo and Chu Yi left the tent and headed straight for the palace.
In the palace, Emperor Liu Hong was playing in the imperial garden at the moment.
Accompanied by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Liu Hong transformed into a merchant and was doing business there, and the objects of the business were obviously official positions.
It has to be said that as the emperor, Liu Hong almost made the selling of official positions and titles legal and set a great precedent.
But if you think about it, since Liu Hong is selling an official position, since what he is selling is a legal official position, the price will naturally not be too low. In this way, people from ordinary family backgrounds may not be able to afford it even if they want to buy an official position.
So much money came out.
So in the end, the targets for the official position were nothing more than some big businessmen and those aristocratic families with the right to speak.
The Han Dynasty did not have any imperial examination system. What was implemented was a system of recommendation and filial piety. In other words, if you wanted to become an official, you had to be recommended by powerful people.
It is conceivable that in this situation, almost all the people who can be recommended come from wealthy families. As for ordinary people wanting to be recommended as officials, it is almost impossible.
The official position that could have been obtained through recommendation, but in the hands of Liu Hong, he actually had to spend a lot of gold and silver to buy it. The same official position that could have been obtained without paying any price now cost a lot of wealth.
.
From this point of view, in fact, Liu Hong's selling of official positions and titles may not be aimed at these aristocratic families who have the right to speak in the court.
When Chu Yi and Jian Shuo walked over, they saw a famous little yellow doorman beside Liu Hong from a distance carrying away carts of gold and silver, while Liu Hong looked like he was covering the appointment letters one by one.
On the emperor's seal.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other regular servants used this method to complete the transaction with the emperor for the official positions they sold, that is, Liu Hong. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to do this.
things come.
After stretching, Liu Hong saw Chu Yi and Jian Shuo coming, took a sip of tea and motioned for them to sit down.
Liu Hong said to Jian Shuo: "Jian Shuo, how is the situation in Xiyuan? Why did I hear that the eight schools in Xiyuan will recruit soldiers separately?"
Although Liu Hong often lives in the palace, he knows everything about things outside the palace. It is obvious that Liu Hong seems to be dull, but in fact he is like a bright mirror in his heart.
I thought that Jian Shuo came to express his grievances to me, hoping that I could make the decision for him. However, Jian Shuo chuckled and said: "Your Majesty knows thousands of miles, and this matter is indeed true. Since Chunyu Qiong and the others proposed that the eight schools recruit soldiers each, then
Jian will do as they wish."
Seeing Jian Shuo's confident look, Liu Hong couldn't help but glance at Jian Shuo in surprise.
Jian Shuo immediately told Liu Hong the suggestions Chu Yi gave him in detail, and even described in a more embellished way how Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and others heard about the quota of soldiers and horses in each school that he had assigned.
The expressions on those people's faces made Liu Hong couldn't help but high-five and exclaim: "Hahaha, I can imagine the expressions of Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong at that time."
It seems that he did not expect that Jian Shuo could actually defeat Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and others. When Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo, there was a bit of satisfaction in his eyes.
The change in Liu Hong's expression was naturally seen in Jian Shuo's eyes, and Jian Shuo couldn't help but think of what Chu Yi had said to him before.
As Chu Yi expected, if he had come to Liu Hong to cry before, it would only make Liu Hong doubt his ability. How could it be like this?
Taking a deep breath, Jian Shuo looked at Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, I was able to successfully teach Yuan Shao and others a lesson this time, but it was all thanks to Chu Yi. If Chu Yi hadn't suggested it, I probably wouldn't have thought of this.
"
Jian Shuo has been with Liu Hong all these years, and the emperor and his ministers actually know each other quite well. To be honest, Liu Hong was still wondering why Jian Shuo suddenly became so much smarter and was able to backhand Yuan Shao and others.
.
Now hearing what Jian Shuo said, Liu Hong couldn't help but look towards Chu Yi.
There are too many small yellow sects around Liu Hong, and not many of them can leave an impression on Liu Hong. Moreover, there are Shi Changshi. If they are not favored and protected by Shi Changshi, it is impossible for some small yellow sects to leave.
If you stand out, you may lose your life because you are too good.
Obviously Chu Yi should be the one under Jian Shuo's care. At this moment, Liu Hong looked at Chu Yi and said with some admiration in his eyes: "Yes, you can think of this, but it is not easy. I will help you in the future."
Jian Shuo is in charge of the eight schools of Xiyuan, and I will give you a heavy reward."
Chu Yi thanked Liu Hong, looking like he was hesitating to speak, but Chu Yi's look in Liu Hong's eyes showed that Liu Hong was still in a good mood at this moment, so he smiled and said: "
Why, do you have something to say?"
Chu Yi hurriedly said: "Chu Yi is brave!"
Liu Hong smiled and waved his hands: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I forgive you."
At this moment, Jian Shuo said from the side: "Your Majesty, once the golden mouth opens, what else do you have to worry about? Just say what you have to say."
Chu Yi bowed his hands to Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, although it was said that Yuan Shao and others were successfully brought together to suppress Yuan Shao and others by controlling the number of people in each school, there is one thing that has to be considered, that is, I am in the same school as Jian.
There are no people available under the command of Wei, but it is not that simple to train troops..."
Liu Hong couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. No matter how mediocre he was, after being an emperor for so many years, he naturally knew what the abilities of the ten permanent servants were. Jian Shuo was indeed brave and strong, but that didn't mean that Jian Shuo was really powerful.
He has the talent of a general.
To be honest, if Jian Shuo wanted to train in the army, not even Liu Hong would give him any hope.
Glancing at Chu Yi, Liu Hong said seriously: "Do you have any suggestions?"
To be honest, Liu Hong looked at Chu Yi quite differently at this moment. It was obviously unusual for Chu Yi to think of these things, and Liu Hong was also curious. Since Chu Yi had raised the problem, he must have already had a solution in his mind, so he wanted to
Let's see if Chu Yi can solve this problem.
Jian Shuo also looked at Chu Yi expectantly at this moment. He didn't expect that after suppressing Yuan Shao and others, there would be such a problem waiting for him. If he had known earlier that the commander of the Eighth School of Xiyuan would encounter so many problems.
If it was a difficult situation, he might not have volunteered to help the emperor in the first place.
At this moment, Jian Shuo looked at Chu Yi who was talking eloquently in front of Liu Hong. Instead of being jealous, he felt faintly grateful. Fortunately, he promoted Chu Yi. Otherwise, he would not be able to handle the errands assigned by the emperor.
It will only lower your status in the eyes of the emperor.
"...Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to allow Jian Xiaowei to select a group of generals from the local soldiers and horses of all states in the world, and the soldiers can enter the Eighth School of Xiyuan."
Liu Hong stroked his beard, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this method is very good. The Yellow Turban has been initially decided. I have ordered the states and counties to abolish the troops and horses that were originally recruited. Now the troops and horses presented by the states and counties are
The roster of sergeants and soldiers should have arrived, and then you two can select a group of candidates to enter the Eighth School of Xiyuan."
Chu Yi saluted Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Hong glanced at Chu Yi with a chuckle, and said to Jian Shuo, who was smiling at the side: "You are not bad luck, you can do it."
Liu Hong stroked his beard, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this method is very good. The Yellow Turban has been initially decided.

Chu Yi saluted Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Hong glanced at Chu Yi with a chuckle, and said to Jian Shuo who was smiling at the side: "You are not bad luck, you can actually do it." Liu Hong stroked his beard, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and he high-fived and praised: "
Okay, this method is very good. The Yellow Turban has been finalized. I have ordered the states and counties to disband the soldiers and horses that were originally recruited. Now the list of army sergeants and soldiers submitted by the states and counties should have arrived. You two can select a group when the introduction is made.
The candidate will be admitted to the Eighth School of Xiyuan."
Chu Yi saluted Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Hong glanced at Chu Yi with a chuckle, and said to Jian Shuo who was smiling at the side: "You are not bad luck, you can actually do it." Liu Hong stroked his beard, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and he high-fived and praised: "

Liu Hong glanced at Chu Yi with a chuckle, and said to Jian Shuo, who was smiling at the side: "You are not bad luck, you can do it."
