"Your Majesty, the imperial court was in Chang'an before, and the official position of the people of Liangzhou was sealed, and now he has returned to Luoyang, and the state pastor in the east, if he does not give him, I am afraid that someone will rebel. Like that Yanzhou Cao Cao, His Majesty has already made a Zhendong general, but now he is still not satisfied. It is really hateful to bring troops to attack Luoyang. If other state pastors follow suit, Luoyang may have accidents. Tong Guan said to the emperor with a worried face.

Before Li Dao was the great Sima, Zhang Ji became a hussar general, and Wang Qing is now also a chariot general. Now that he has arrived in Luoyang, he has to rely more on the support of the Kwantung princes, and many of these princes do not even have the title of general.

Liu Xie thought about it, and was a little unwilling, each of the official positions he had served before was something he wanted to seal, but Tong Guan's words also made some sense: "Mr. thinks, how can I bestow the governors of various states?" ”

Tong Guanyin said with a smile: "Now that Your Majesty has returned to Luoyang, there are many people in the world who do not listen to the orders of the imperial court. If His Majesty wants to support the Han family, one needs to ask confidants like Wang Qing to lead the Baibo Army under his command to crusade against Buchen. Second, His Majesty can provoke the state pastors who do not obey the orders of the imperial court to attack each other and weaken their strength. ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he felt that Tong Guan was right: "Mr. is very true, but I don't know who people should be rewarded?" Who should be allowed to crusade against whom? ”

Tong Guan looked left and right, they were all his own people, and said in a low voice: "This Cao Cao is a big traitor, and now he has raised troops to attack Yique Pass, this is to be the second Dong Zhuo." His Majesty can appoint Qingzhou Mu Luogan as the general of Zhengdong, and let General Zhengdong attack Cao Cao, the general of Zhendong, from behind. With Yuan Shu as the rear general, he asked him to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan. If it can be successful, Yuan Shao will be the general of the southern expedition with Jizhou Mu and Luo Gan in the south. Let these princes fight against each other and weaken their strength"

Tong Guan also knew that Luoyang was very dangerous now, or that the current situation of the princes was divided, and the Son of Heaven was very dangerous wherever he was. There is the threat of Li Dao and Guo Yan in the west, Cao Cao and others in the east, Yuan Shao in the north, and Liu Biao in the south, none of whom are easy to get along with.

The imperial court is weak, but the prefectures and counties are strong, and if the emperor wants to take power, he can only weaken the local government and strengthen the power of the imperial court. Traitors like Tong Guan who borrowed a knife to kill people are still very slippery, and as for whether they can control the situation, it's hard to say.

Liu Xie didn't get too entangled, anyway, the big Sima and the hussar generals were all sealed, what do you care about the general of the east and the south?

"According to the gentleman's wishes, the intention is to be made!" Liu Xiedao.

"No, but Your Majesty, these are the fundamental plans for the revival of the Han Dynasty, Wang Qing's soldiers and horses are still too few, and Your Majesty should form the most loyal forbidden army, if Your Majesty has a loyal forbidden army, why worry about the princes of the world not being satisfied? The rebellion is uncertain, and the Han family is not prosperous? Tong Guan righteously suggested to the emperor to meet a forbidden army.

Liu Xieshen thought so, he was more than Liangzhou Wufu before, it wasn't because the other party had soldiers and horses in his hands, I established a loyal forbidden army by myself, who would dare to disobey!

Liu Xie was very excited, and couldn't help but applaud: "Okay, good, Mr. is talented, it's really a clever plan." It's just that who should lead this forbidden army? I don't know how to train and command the army, and I can't train them in the barracks, so how can I make them loyal to me? ”

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the body of ten thousand gold, naturally you can't train the army in person, you can choose a loyal henchman to do it for you, as long as you let the soldiers know that they eat the food of the Son of Heaven, they will naturally be loyal to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie, who was in his teens, was about to regard Tong Guan as his own savior: "Can Taiwei Yang Biao be served?" ”

Tong Guan shook his head: "Taiwei Yang Biao is cunning and cunning, you can't do it, Your Majesty can't control this person." ”

Liu Xie said again: "How is General Wei Dong Cheng?" ”

Whether it is the minister of the DPRK and the central government, Tong Guan will deny it, reminding: "Your Majesty, Dong Cheng can be co-opted, not reused, this person is Dong Zhuo's subordinate." Who can guarantee that he will not betray His Majesty? ”

Liu Xie proposed again: "What about Dong Zhao? He voted for me away from publicity, and he knew that he had joined the army and knew some military affairs. ”

Tong Guan was a little anxious in his heart, this newly established commander of the Praetorian Guard, of course, was his, how could he call it to outsiders, and immediately vetoed it again: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhao is a person who joined the army as a Yuan Shao, and then went to Zhang Miao, and then took refuge in Zhang Yang, and then saw that Zhang Yang could not succeed, so he came to join His Majesty this time." How can such a person be faithful, and he must not. ”

Dong Zhao is not a simple person, before his ten Yuan Shao's subordinates, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought a decisive battle, Julu County in the rear of Jizhou wanted to take refuge in Gongsun Zhan. So Yuan Shao appointed Dong Zhao as the Taishou of Julu and went to guard the town. After Dong Zhao arrived in Julu County, he pretended to betray Yuan Shao like those families in Julu, and then after finding out the main rebels, he quickly killed those who wanted to betray Yuan Shao in the name of Yuan Shao, and after shocking the Julu people, he pacified and pacified Yuan Shao's rear.

When Yuan Shao was fighting Gongsun Zhan, the Taishou of Wei County was killed, and the counties of Wei County were independent, and there were separatist parties such as the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army. Yuan Shao once again appointed Dong Zhao as the Taishou of Wei County, and Dong Zhao used a discordant strategy to let the counties of Wei County attack each other, and then sent troops to take advantage of the situation to quell the rebellion in Wei County.

It can be said that Dong Zhao is very powerful, but his younger brother is in Yuan Shao's enemy Zhang Miao's army, and some people instigated Yuan Shao to kill Dong Zhao. So Dong Zhao ran away, and was kept by Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi, halfway, and when Zhang Yang greeted the emperor, Dong Zhao was awarded the position of councillor by the imperial court.

Liu Xie erected the ministers of the court, to see who could become a confidant and help him establish a forbidden army, counting and counting, headaches, who is the capable loyal minister.

Tong Guan couldn't help it, and waited for the emperor to mention his name, but he never did: "Your Majesty, in fact, the first emperor once set up the Eighth School of the West Garden to enhance the authority of the Son of Heaven." After the death of the first emperor, he left a will for His Majesty to ascend the throne. However, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden should have served the first emperor and assisted His Majesty in ascending the throne. However, only the captain of the military academy, Xiao Huangmen Jianshuo, led the troops to support His Majesty, while Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others did not listen to His Majesty's orders at all, and this foreign minister would think more about his own family, followed by His Majesty. ”

How could Liu Xie not understand at this moment, after thinking about it, Tong Guan is not bad, he also understands some military affairs, and more importantly, he is loyal, he is a eunuch, and he serves himself more.

"Oh, I really don't know it, okay, Mr. is a captain of the forbidden army, responsible for training the new army." Liu Xie was overjoyed and immediately appointed Tong Guan as a lieutenant of the forbidden army.

"No!" Tong Guan smiled.

After that, Tong Guan began to recruit some displaced people, and in the name of another emperor, he recruited troops from Hanoi County and Henan Yin, and slowly there were more than 6,000 people.
