Along the steps of the North Gate, Liu Che ascended the city tower step by step.

The officer on duty hurriedly stepped forward: "Greetings to Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he gave a new military salute.

Liu Che glanced at this officer, and his heart immediately flashed the information of this person: Xu Jin, a native of Qinghe County, a captain of Weiyang Palace Beique Tunmen, once served in Yunzhong County, and was a military general recommended by Wei Shang, the Taishou of Yunzhong County, if nothing else, after serving in Chang'an for two years, he will return to Yunzhong and serve as at least one captain.

Since ascending the throne for half a year, Liu Che has firmly remembered the personal information, personality and appearance of the entire Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, as well as the personal information, personality and appearance of the officers above Sima Palace.

The guards of the palace gates and the patrol guards in important areas, every new soldier, no matter how busy Liu Che was, had personally seen it and encouraged him.

This was learned from the method of Emperor Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty to control his guard troops.

Liu Che didn't dare to say this method now, he completely controlled the northern and southern armies in his own hands, at least, the garrison troops at the various palace gates and the troops controlling the important passages of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, he was basically firmly in his hands.

The methods used by Liu Che are not unusual at all.

Undress and push food to eat.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's just a rotten bridge.

But the effect is surprisingly good!

It is conceivable that if you were that soldier or officer, if something happened to you, would you be willing to follow a leader who remembers your name and always gives encouragement, or would you be a noble relative who is so high up that he feels unseemly even when he looks at you?

It's almost nothing to think about!

"Captain Xu......" Liu Che's eyes looked into the distance, and he didn't deliberately show any attitude of wooing. But, his words are soft and powerful. Inadvertently, it made Xu Jin feel the Son of Heaven. is treating him as his own - as the emperor, Liu Che can talk to Xu Jin, a Tuen Mun captain who is only 800 stones, is condescending in itself!

This is almost compared to the boss of the Celestial Empire in the later generations who took the initiative to shake hands with the armed police guarding the gate of the Forbidden City!

Not to mention, Liu Che, the emperor, can actually call out the other party's surname.

You can imagine that in the Celestial Empire, after the big boss shakes hands with you, he can also call out your position and name, which has a great impact on you!

Xu Jin at this moment. He was really speechless with excitement, he straightened his waist, stood in front of Liu Che, and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Captain Xu once served in the clouds for three years?" Liu Che asked, "I don't know what Captain Xu thinks about the defense in the clouds?" ”

"Hui Yu Xià!" Xu Jin replied: "The minister once served in Yunzhong County as a team leader, Sima and other positions, the previous year, the Huns entered the clouds, and the minister was fortunate to have worked under the command of the Duke of Wei in the old Yunzhong County, and fought with the captives. In the humble opinion of the ministers, the soldiers and people in the clouds are loyal and patriotic, and they work together from top to bottom, and the city is high and the walls are deep. In addition, with Wei Gong in charge, it can be described as foolproof! ”

Liu Che nodded.

Wei Shang, the current county guard of Yunzhong County, is a veteran.

It can be called the optimus pillar of the country!

Probably, there is not much ink on this old general in history. There are also very few people who know.

But, Liu Che is right to this old general. But I have admired it for a long time!

Since the founding of the Han dynasty for more than 50 years, it has fought hundreds of battles with the Xiongnu. The winning rate is the same as the winning rate of the Chinese team against the South Korean team in the LOL World Finals in the later generations.

Most of the time, once the Xiongnu broke through the pass, they were almost invincible and invincible, until the general mobilization of Guanzhong and the Han gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and they took the looted wealth and population, leisurely and leisurely withdrew from the Great Wall.

However, in Yunzhong County, the Huns never took any advantage.

Since the Han Dynasty has recorded history, in the clouds, the Huns have been defeated again and again, and even, under the city in the clouds, they have also killed the top nobles of the level of Dadanghu.

Yunzhong County is a city that never fell in the early Western Han Dynasty and the Han-Hungarian War.

It is also a nail that has always stood on the border between Han and Hungary!

And the person who single-handedly built Yunzhong County into such a heroic city is Wei Shang, who has been in charge of Yunzhong County for nearly twenty years.

In Liu Che's previous life, the world once compared Wei Shang and Zhidu with Zhao Hao and Li Mu, the famous generals of Zhao during the Warring States Period!

Xu Jin's evaluation of Wei Shang, in the current environment, is actually very objective!

For the Han people, who have suffered from the invasion of the Xiongnu for a long time, Yunzhong County is a banner that symbolizes hope!

The prestige of Wei Shang, the county guard of Yunzhong County, is almost unmatched at this time period!

Last year, Wu Chu rebelled, and Liu Che's emperor father, even at the most critical time, did not consider drawing even a single soldier from Yunzhong, and even sent an additional 5,000 crossbowmen from Daibei and other places to Yunzhong County, in order to guard against the Xiongnu who might invade.

At that time, the strategy of the Han dynasty was that in case of an invasion by the Xiongnu, it would rely on fortified cities such as Yunzhong and Daibei to resist and delay.

Judging from the information available so far, the Huns at that time did not completely consider taking advantage of the fire to rob.

It's just that the city in the clouds has become a city that makes the main battle faction within the Xiongnu desperate.

Three years ago, the Xiongnu Youxian King invaded in two ways with his main force, all the way to the north, breaking through the Beidi County, and the soldiers reached Xiaoguan, and the beacon fire could be seen in Chang'an.

The other way is to choose the cloud as a breakthrough.

As a result, the progress of Daibei was quite smooth, but in the direction of Yunzhong, it became a war of attrition.

By the end of the war, the Huns had dropped hundreds of heads under the city in the clouds!

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 of Huo Quai's Wei Qing later, at this time, it is an unprecedented victory!

And the intelligence afterwards proved that the Huns killed a big household in the battle under the city of clouds!

And he was also the henchman of the Right Xian King at that time!

Even, the Xiongnu at that time Youxian King was later defeated in the political struggle, which had a lot to do with the defeat in the clouds.

And the Xiongnu were very afraid of Wei Shang, what kind of fear was Cheng dù?

According to the information sent back by the undercover agents of the Xiongnu planted by the Han family, some tribes of the Xiongnu. Some people used grass to tie the appearance of Wei Shang and shot arrows every day. But I always missed...... As a result, the Huns thought that Wei Shang was a god. He was also enshrined......

But then again, the religion of the Huns was indeed very strange - anyone they felt they could not defeat was regarded as a god and enshrined for them.

There are many Han generals who have enjoyed this kind of Xiongnu worship and worship treatment in history.

Wei Shang, Zhi Du, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and even nerds like Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, have enjoyed the treatment of the Xiongnu enshrinement......

Liu Che withdrew his gaze from the distance.

He looked at Xu Jin and said, "I know that Meng Shugong is the elder, the pillar of the country, but Meng Shugong is seventy years old, although he is old. Ambition is thousands of miles, however, after all, it is the twilight of a strong man, Meng Shugong has been several times in recent years, and he has written to beg for bones, I and the first emperor, and the defense in the clouds is inseparable from Meng Shugong, and it is strong to stay, but. I also know it, I'm afraid, I have to find a successor for Meng Shugong, Captain Xu. Meng Shugong recommended Qing and several other rising stars to me in the recital, and Qing must not let down Meng Shugong's hard work! ”

This is the reason why Liu Che took advantage of today's examination to talk to Xu Jin.

Yunzhong County, as a signboard set up by the Han family. A banner must choose a successor!

Past. In the past few years, the Han family has been caught in the political struggle for the abolition of the crown prince. Almost no one cares about the affairs of Yunzhong County.

As a result, as soon as Wei Shang died, the defense in the clouds actually degenerated rapidly.

By the time of the Little Pig Dynasty, Yunzhong City, which had made the Huns dare not peep, was actually broken by the Huns' iron cavalry several times......

Liu Che doesn't want this to happen again!

A more realistic consideration is that as an important strategic fortress of the Han Dynasty on the defense line of the Great Wall, Liu Che naturally hopes to be in his hands.

The next candidate for Yunzhong County Guard, he naturally has to personally check it.

Xu Jin is one of the alternatives.

Liu Che has already been in contact with several other candidates, and in general, he is not very satisfied.

Otherwise, Liu Che would not have come to Xu Jin to inspect this spare tire, which was only 800 stones.

When Xu Jin heard this, he bowed his head and said: "The little minister is humble, and he dares to look at the county guard?" His Majesty and Duke Wei love the ministers too much......"

Liu Che shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought the same way at the beginning......

He carried the ribbon and walked to the mouth of the arrow tower of the city tower in Beique, looked at the various examination rooms where the exam was being held, and said, "But Meng Shugong strongly recommended Aiqing to me!" ”

In fact, if it weren't for Wei Shang's strong recommendation, Liu Che would not have been able to put a small Tuen Mun lieutenant like Xu Jin on the list of candidates for the dignified 2,000 stone county guard - from a common sense point of view, even if Xu Jin was given another ten years, he might not be qualified to serve as a 2,000 stone county guard, let alone the highest governor of a military town like Yunzhong.

But fortunately, Liu Che is the emperor.

As long as he says yes, it doesn't work!

According to Liu Che's current observation and what he has learned about this Xu Jin, this person is still at a certain level of leading troops, and he is also very stable.

The intelligence system under Wang Dao has also checked all three generations of Xu Jin's ancestors, and no stains have been found.

Judging from the evaluation of Xu Jin from the reactions of generals at all levels of the Southern Army, this person has no problems in terms of ability, and he is also relatively reliable in terms of political attitude.

Now, the only thing Liu Che is not sure about is - whether Xu Jin is capable of serving as the county guard of Yunzhong County?

At the very least, Xu Jinde showed Liu Che that he has the potential to serve as a county guard and protect the territory and the people!

Otherwise, Liu Che could only choose one of the current veterans to serve as the county guard in the clouds.

It's just that......

Use veterans, but drink to quench your thirst.

Li Ji is also in his sixties this year, Han is in his fifties, Luan Bu is seventy years old, and Uncle Tian is also in his eighties.

When this group of veterans enters the ground, the generals available in the Han family are Li Guang, Dou Ying, and Cheng Buzhi and Han Anguo, who have not yet risen.

Wei Qing is just a child now, and Huo Quzhi doesn't even have a shadow.

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 support Wei Qinghuo until he is born. (To be continued......)
