Chapter 823 The Emperor of Han suddenly became seriously ill
"The general, the name of Jinwu, was Liu Bei, a former Zhuo County. He was descended from Zhongshan Jing. He was quite famous in the north. He served as the lieutenant of the military field under the command of the eldest princess. He was recommended to the court by the eldest princess. The emperor was happy to see him and was awarded the title of Guannei Marquis and appointed as Jinwu."
He Jin was following the report of his aides in the General's Office. At this time, he was surrounded by Yuan Shao, a son of the Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao was a son of the Yuan family, he was born in a villain. Therefore, he did not have the qualification to dispatch his family's strength and could not make a name for himself on the battlefield like Yuan Shu, so he became famous in one step.
At this time, Yuan Shao was an aide to He Jin and was in charge of documents and information. He Jin was a good person and treated him quite well. He promised that after he took power, he would give him the opportunity to become a 2,000-stone official, a prefect of a county or a prime minister of a county.
Yuan Shao also cherished this opportunity very much. He was on the same line as He Jin, so he naturally understood that if He Jin wanted to take power, unless the emperor gave power to him, and now the emperor is in full swing in the spring and autumn, he will naturally not give power.
He Jin could only wait, but He Jin was willing to wait, but Yuan Shao and others were unwilling. There were many people who followed He Jin, most of them were children of the gentry. Although most of them were born in vain, they were also a huge force when they joined forces. They were all young people, so they naturally didn't want to wait all the time.
First, he took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to lift the party ban, and gradually mastered the military in the court in the name of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, especially the Sili where Kyoto was located. The Sili lieutenant was replaced by his own people, and there were also the Southern Army and the Northern Army. The Southern Army was ordered to suppress the rebellion. The most important thing in Kyoto was the Northern Army, and the chief officer of the Northern Army was the Jinwu.
The power of Zheng Jinwu was very strong, also known as the lieutenant, who was responsible for the inspection, banning violence, and supervising traitors in the capital. He was in charge of the Northern Army and the Guards who were in charge of the Southern Army to guard the palace. During the reign of Emperor Wu, the eight lieutenants were established, and they were lieutenants. It turned out that the military leader of the Sanfu of Guanzhong was the lieutenant. After the Zhonglei lieutenant was established, he was divided into part of the power of Zheng Jinwu (Lieutenant).
In the fourth year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu set up three commanders including Jingfu Duwei Zuo Duwei Youfu Duwei in the Neishi area. By the first year of Taichu, he was divided into three commanders and appointed chief ministers respectively. At this point, his military power had been divided by various commanders, and his power was not present, and the emperor took over the power. Later, the emperor changed his name to Fenwu during the reign of Wang Mang, and Emperor Guangwu was called Jinwu during the reign of Han.
The rank of Jinwu is 2,000 stones, two chief ministers, Sima, and thousands of people. The officials are Zhonglei, Sihu, Arsenal, and four dictators of Duchuan, as well as the rank of Dushi, and the rank of Dushi, as well as the rank of Dushi, and the rank of Dushi, which is also related to the rank of Jinwu.
The arsenal is an institution for manufacturing and storing weapons; there are prisons under Zhonglei, Simu and Du Shibo; it is also a responsibility of Jinwu to be in charge of weapons and the Dianshi prison.
At this time, only one arsenal was retained, and the rest were all reduced. Their positions were mainly for the imperial guards of the Dianshi and to protect the safety of the capital and palace cities. They had to inspect the palace three times a month to prevent and stop water and fire disasters outside the palace and other extraordinary accidents.
Whenever Emperor Guangwu inspected the counties and states, he sent Jinwu to stay in the capital. Emperor Ming went on an eastern tour and ordered Jinwu to guard the Nangong.
In addition, sometimes when the emperor traveled, he led the Ti cavalry and infantry to form ceremonial guards and guards. For example, Emperor Zhang went on a patrol and ordered the Jinwu to accompany the guards.
Jinwu was sometimes appointed as a general and led troops to expedition. During Emperor Zhao, Jinwu, Ma Shijian once led his army to defeat the Qiang people. During Emperor He, Jinwu, Geng Bing was also appointed as the deputy commander Dou Xian and attacked the Northern Huns.
At this time, Zhi Jinwu had only arsenal in name, but in fact he still controlled the power to guard the palace. The Northern Army was under the control of the general. Although there were few soldiers and horses guarding the palace, it was also a force that could not be ignored when it was critical.
Now that Liu Hong is in the imperial capital, he has ordered people to take over the leadership of Jinwu, and is still a member of the royal family. This has to make He Jin think too much.
The arsenal under Jinwu is also a force in the capital that can balance the left and right. The weapons and armor are enough to train a army of tens of thousands of Rao, so the guardians is also an elite force. He Jin has always wanted to hold the arsenal in his hands, but he still cannot get it.
Now that the new leader takes office, Jinwu has naturally shattered this hope. And as time goes by, the new army is trained and trained. So, is there still a foothold in this court?
The emperor seemed to want to use the royal family to balance the relatives, eunuchs and gentry, and change the power structure from three to four. This can be seen from a few years ago. For example, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and Liu Yao, and other royal family figures served as governors of each state respectively. Now there is a Liu Bei. He Jin has to be vigilant in this situation.
This is inconsistent with his interests. After the various forces of the royal family emerged, they were born in foreign relatives, and there was no chance. The Han Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the royal family is spread all over the country. The Liu family's children are definitely more than 100,000, including one in a million, and there are also many talents.
By then, it is impossible for the relatives of the foreign country to take office. Don’t do the achievements like Wang Mang. It is impossible to become a powerful minister, and even the power cannot be possessed.
Of course, this is the future. He Jin is worried about the moment. He has done many things to overcome for the sake of power, as well as He Mi in the palace. In order to consolidate his power, He Mi killed many people. How many beauties Liu Hong loved would be difficult to be good if he lost power.
"How did Zhi Jinwu do it?"
Not to mention He Jin's conspiracy, Liu Hong was asking Zhang Rang in the palace, how much Liu Bei had taken office, so naturally some people were staring at him. In the past, the arsenal was in Zhang Rang's hands, holding the position of Jinwu, and was hung in the air for a long time. Zhang Rang was not greedy for the arsenal. After Zhao Zhong's death, his power increased a lot. The arsenal was like a useless person to him, as long as it did not fall into the butcher He Jin.
"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande seems to be capable, both literary and military, and now he has mastered the arsenal, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Liu Hong nodded and was about to ask about the training situation of the new army, but suddenly felt dizzy. Seeing that his face suddenly was not right, Zhang Rang quickly supported him, but felt that Liu Hong was very strong in grasping his arm!
After looking at the eunuchs on both sides, they were all delighted. Although Zhang Rang was anxious, he still held Liu Hong steadily and shouted softly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
As a master, Zhang Rang naturally understood that Liu Hong's situation was very dangerous, and it was not impossible for him to die if he was careless.
The consequences of taking pills during this period finally came. At this moment, Zhang Rang was prepared for a long time. And as far as he knew, it was not the first time that Liu Hong had such a situation. He had met three times alone, which was more dangerous every time.
Liu Hong was eager to take the medicine, and at this time he called the imperial carriage. As if nothing had happened, he sent Liu Hong to the bedroom. The same way he did when this situation happened before.
...
Jingzhou was at this time, and the battle that determined the ownership of Jingzhou came in such a hurry.
Although Liu Biao had already begun to establish Xiangyang City as the prefecture and Xiangyang County, the process of advancing has begun, he is still stationed in Wancheng, waiting for Huangfu Song to remove the threat of the Yellow Turbans, which is the time for the great governance of Jingzhou.
At dawn, he suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness. After getting up at night, he opened the door and looked up. He saw that the two stars in the north-central Ziwei Wall were shining, and the purple star suddenly flashed, and a meteor suddenly appeared in the Ziwei Wall.
What's the situation?
In Jiangxia County, someone was suddenly awakened at this time. It was Huang Chengyan who thought carefully for a while and found out that the information from other places came in the past two days. Combined with the elephant, he quickly heard people.
After a quick handwritten letter, he ordered people to pass it out, and quickly ordered people to call Huang Zu Cai Mao, waiting for Huang Zu Cai Mao and the other two to arrive at night. Huang Chengyan said, "I think Huang Fu Song will definitely be defeated, and I may even be at risk of losing his life. I have asked Mr. Liu to be the prefect of Jiangxia. I have ordered people to submit this silk book to Liu Gong in front of the case. Degui will take a look."
Cai Mao opened the silk book and saw that it was a letter of appointment. The famous scholar Sima Wei served as a matchmaker and asked Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, to marry Cai Mao's second sister as a successor. This was something that had been negotiated before, and it was nothing strange. Huang Chengyan handled this matter because Huang Chengyan was his eldest brother-in-law.
The conditions for the negotiation were that Huang Zu was the prefect of Jiangxia. At this time, Huang Zu was already the prefect of Jiangxia County. After the conditions were negotiated, he would be promoted to the prefect of Jiangxia. Cai Mao would naturally be the prefect of a county. What he originally wanted was the newly established Xiangyang County, so it was naturally impossible at this time.
"Degui, today you will send your second sister to Wancheng and get married as soon as possible. There may be a major change in the future!"
From the image, we can see that there may be variables in the Han Palace. Nowadays, the variables that can be found in the Han Palace are the great funerals. At that time, it is natural that the marriage and funerals are prohibited. If the time is extended, it will be inappropriate.
Although the interests negotiations with Liu Biao have not been done well, I am no longer caring about it now. Since the general conditions have been negotiated, let’s just forget about the others!
"Now the Yellow Turban Thief attacked Xiangyang with all his might. My ancestors recruited troops in Jiangxia and attacked Jiangling City in Nanjun. I have done some of them, and I have entrusted you with the rest."
"What about you, brother?"
Huang Chengyan and Huang Zu are cousins. Because Huang Chengyan was once a party member, he was unable to become an official for the time being. At this time, Huang Zu suddenly asked.
"I want to go to a school in Xiangyang"
...
Huangfu Song also felt something was wrong. Although he was prepared, it was Ming Dynasty and he came out to see that something was wrong. The Yellow Turban actually came out with all his strength.
The Yellow Turbans in Nanjun were all soldiers, which was only 100,000. The previous few battles were caused by injuries, but apart from the elderly, weak, women and children, there were only 80,000 or 90,000 left. It seems that all of them have arrived.
The cavalry may be as many as 50,000. The infantry was approaching the city of Xiangyang and was actually coming by a detour, definitely more than 50,000 people.
At this time, Huangfu Song climbed up and looked at it. He could see that there were thousands of Yellow Turban Knights across the river, scattered in a row, absolutely more than ten formations, and it happened to encircle Cao Cao and others to retreat.
If Cao Cao and others were going to retreat at this time, they would probably have been forced to surrender by the Yellow Turban knights who were waiting for their hard work. Their rebel army was defeated earlier, and their morale had not yet recovered. They would definitely have no desire to fight. If they escaped, they would probably have surrendered troops everywhere.
"Using smoke as a message, he ordered Huang Zhong to wait for the opportunity to attack the Yellow Turbans, and he should not be moved rashly."
Huangfu Song did not see Huang Zhong, so he must have run away, so he might have hidden it. Although the situation was in crisis, Huangfu Song was not anxious. He just gave Huang Zhong an order to act according to the opportunity.
He is not investigating for a while and is trapped in Xiangyang City, but no matter how bad he is, he still has more than 10,000 people in his hand and the Xiangyang city wall, so he can defend three or five. As long as there are three, reinforcements from Nanyang should be coming.
Two miles west of Xiangyang City, Sun Zhi and others set up two curtains with great fanfare. Countless battle flags were raised in the tent, Huang Dang's flag, Jingzhou Qu Shuai Banner, etc., which was very silly.
The whole army had a full meal. He led his personal soldiers into the armored soldiers array, and as the drums rang out, he pushed the boxcar ladder and slowly advanced.
Sun Zhi led the Central Military Barracks to attack from the front, while the other brothers led the front and rear military barracks respectively, and the Supervisor led the siege.
"This should be a test, and you should not be careless."
"When the enemy approaches, shoot the military officers again."
"There are eight enemy ladders, and they are burned with straw bundles of boiling oil."
"Burn the ladders of the clouds and retreat by itself."
Huangfu Song was laying out protection at this time. At this time, Xiangyang City was still a city with only half of the city protection. The Xiangshui River could only defend against the north and east, but could not defend against the south and west. According to the plan, Liu Biao was preparing to dig the Han River to come here and set up a new city with water intervals. At this time, the west and south, as long as the Han River crossed, it would be unobstructed.
At this time, Xiangyang City was less than five miles in circumference, and the female wall was only 100,000 feet high.
If you don’t wear armor, with the physical strength of the Han people today, those brave people can even easily climb over such a city wall.
The siege sequence of the Central Military Camp, the Sun family, led by Sun Yong, was wearing iron basin-corded armor, walking on the right side of the team with weapons, staring at the soldiers of our team with the ostentatious light. Although Huangfu Song of the Han army was quite brave, if it was a battle in the plains, even if Huangfu Song only led ten thousand troops, they would not have much chance of winning, but this was a battle to defend the city. He only had to grab a city head and take a siege.
In the battle to defend the city, it is not easy to exert all the strength of the military generals, and Huangfu Song cannot cover everything.
The wheeled box car was pushed by hand, and the crossbowmen were huddled together behind the box car and wearing two crotch armor. Each box car was an attack unit; the rest were short spear soldiers holding large oars, or swords, shields, swords, shields, and more than a dozen warriors walking around.
"Stand up the shield!"
"Beat the drum!"
Almost instantly, the bows and crossbows were fired at the same time when both sides were twenty steps away.
The armored soldiers wearing two armors still lowered their heads and pushed the ladder forward. They also had to support them when they were seriously injured. If they were seriously injured, they would have to follow the ladder.
"Do!"
Sun Yong and others had a shortened ladder approaching the five steps of the city wall. The officers who commanded the cloud car to pull the rope. The ladder that leaned forward accelerated and descended with three hooks and a counterweight stone buckled at the top of the city. The three hanging buckles were stuck tightly at the entrance of the female wall.
The cloud ladder is 18 feet wide and more than three feet long. It is a flat surface with a gentle slope!
"Enter!"
At this time, Sun Yong shouted, and more than a hundred yellow turban soldiers carried their shields forward, and crossbows were mounted on the shields, and the shields were placed on both sides of the ladder to suppress the city heads.
Chapter completed!
