Chapter 85 The Han Emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and Jingzhou sent an urgent report
"General, the name of the ruling Jinwu is Liu Bei, is the original Zhuojun people, is the king of Zhongshan Jing, is quite chivalrous in the north, once served as the captain of Tuntian under the eldest princess, was recommended by the eldest princess to enter the court, the emperor was happy to see it, knighted the marquis of Guannei, and served as the ruling Jinwu."
He Jin was listening to the report of the staff in the General's Mansion at this time, and at this time he was Yuan Shao, a disciple of the Yuan family, although Yuan Shao was a child of the Yuan family, but he was a concubine, so he had no qualifications to transfer the strength of the family, and he could not be like Yuan Shu, who was brave and famous on the battlefield, so as to ascend to the sky in one step.
At this time, Yuan Shao was a staff member for He Jin, in charge of clerical and intelligence matters, He Jin was not bad, and he was also quite generous, promising that after he took power, he would give him the opportunity to become a big official of 2,000 stones, the Taishou of a county or the minister of the county.
Yuan Shao also cherished this opportunity, and he was in the same line as He Jin, so he naturally understood that if He Jin wanted to take power, unless the emperor gave him power, and now the emperor is in his prime, so he will naturally not give up 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 scholar clan, although most of them were concubines, but together, they were also a huge force, and they were all young people, so they were naturally unwilling to wait all the time.
First, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to lift the party ban, and in the name of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he gradually mastered the military of the DPRK and China, especially the division where Kyoto was located, and the lieutenant of the division was replaced by his own people, in addition to the southern army and the northern army, the southern army was ordered to quell the rebellion, and the most important thing in Kyoto was the northern army, and the commander of the northern army was Zhijingo.
The power of the ruling Jinwu is very great, also known as the lieutenant, responsible for the patrol in the capital, the prohibition of violence, the supervision of rape and other tasks, the command of the northern army, and the guard captain of the southern army guarding the palace forbidden. Emperor Wu set up eight lieutenants, which belonged to lieutenants, and the original military chief of Guanzhong Sanfu was a lieutenant, and after setting up a lieutenant, he divided part of the power of Jinwu (lieutenant).
In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu set up the Jingfu Duwei, the left Fuduwei, the right Fuduwei and other three Duwei in the internal history area, to the first year of Taichu, the internal history area is the three auxiliaries, respectively, the long history, the Jinwu to this point its military power has been divided by the various captains, the prestige is not there, and the emperor takes over the power, after Wang Mang changed his name to Fenwu, and the Guangwu Emperor reverted to the Han Dynasty when he reclaimed the name of the Jinwu.
Zhijinwu's rank is two thousand stones, there are two Cheng and Hou, Sima, a thousand people, subordinate officials have Zhongli, Sihu, Arsenal, Duchuan Siling, Cheng, and Shidao, left and right Zhonghou and Jingfu Duwei, also have a relationship with Zhijinwu.
An arsenal is an institution for the manufacture and storage of weapons; There are prisons under the middle base, temples, and ships; It is also one of the duties of the executive to be in charge of weapons and the prison of the warden.
At this time, only one arsenal was retained, and the rest were reduced, and their duties were mainly to protect the capital and the safety of the palace, and the governor of Jingo had to patrol the palace three times a month to prevent and stop the fire and water disasters outside the palace and other extraordinary accidents.
Emperor Guangwu sent Zhijinwu to stay in the capital whenever he visited the county, and Emperor Ming toured the east and ordered Zhijinwu to guard the southern palace.
In addition, sometimes the emperor traveled, and Zhi Jinwu led the cavalry, and the foot soldiers formed a guard of honor and guards, such as Emperor Zhang, who went out on patrol and ordered Zhi Jinwu to accompany the guards.
When Emperor Zhao, Ma Shijian led the army to fight against the Qiang people, and when Emperor He, Geng Bing also served as the deputy commander of the commander Dou Xian and attacked the Northern Xiongnu.
At this time, Zhijingo only had an arsenal in name, but in fact he still had the power to guard the palace, and the northern army was in the hands of the general, although there were few soldiers and horses guarding the palace, but when it was critical, it was also a force to be reckoned with.
Now that Liu Hong is training a new army in the imperial capital, and he has ordered someone to take over Jinwu, he is still a member of the clan, which has to make He Jin think more.
The arsenal in charge of Zhi Jinwu is also a force that can be balanced left and right in the Beijing Division, and the weapons and armor in it are enough to train an army of tens of thousands of people, so the guards of the arsenal are also an elite, He Jin has always wanted to hold the arsenal in his hands, but he can't ask for it.
Now that the new ruling Jingo has taken office, this hope has naturally been dashed, and as time goes by, waiting for the completion of the training of the new army, is there still a place for him in this court?
The emperor seems to want to use the clan to balance his relatives, eunuchs, and scholars, and change the power structure from three to four, which can be seen from a few years ago, such as Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Miao and other clan figures, respectively, served as the assassin of each state, and now there is a Liu Bei, this kind of situation, He Jin has to be vigilant.
This is not in line with his interests, after the various forces of the clan come up, how can they have a chance if they are born in relatives, the Han Dynasty has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the clan is all over the world, and the children of the Liu family are definitely more than 100,000, of which they are one in a million, and there are many talents.
At that time, it will be impossible for a relative to ascend to the throne, let alone do a feat like Wang Mang, even if you want to become a powerful minister, it is impossible to even have power.
Of course, this is a matter of the future, He Jin is worried about the present, he has done a lot of transgressions for the sake of power, and He Mi in the palace, in order to consolidate his power, He Mi has killed a lot of people, how many beauties Liu Hong loves, if he loses power, I am afraid it will be difficult to be good.
"How are you doing?"
Not to mention He Jin conspiring there, at this time Liu Hong was asking Zhang Rang in the palace, Liu Bei had been in office for a few days, and naturally there were people staring at him, in the past, the arsenal was in the hands of Zhang Rang, holding the position of Jinwu, hanging empty for a long time, the arsenal Zhang Rang was not greedy, after Zhao Zhong's death, his power had increased a lot, and the arsenal was like chicken ribs to him, as long as it didn't fall into the hands of He Jin's butcher.
"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande seems to have the ability, he can write and martial arts, and now he has mastered the arsenal, and there is nothing wrong."
Liu Hong nodded, and was about to ask about the training of the new army, but suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, looking at his face suddenly wrong, Zhang Rang hurriedly helped, but felt that Liu Hong grabbed his arm with great strength!
After looking at the eunuchs on the left and right, they were all low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, although Zhang Rang was anxious in his heart, 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 even if he was not careful, it was not impossible to die.
The consequences of taking pills during this time have finally come, Zhang Rang has already prepared for this moment, and as far as he knows, it is not the first time that Liu Hong has been in such a situation, he has encountered it three times alone, and each time it is more dangerous than the other.
Carefully assisted Liu Hong to take the pill, and at this time called Luan Jia, as if nothing had happened, and sent Liu Hong to the dormitory, as if this situation happened before, the same treatment.
……
Jingzhou, at this time, was in full swing, and the battle that decided the ownership of Jingzhou came in such a hurry.
Although Liu Biao has begun to set up Xiangyang City as the state and set up Xiangyang County, this process of promotion has begun, but he is still stationed in Wancheng, waiting for Huangfu Song to cut off the threat of the Yellow Turban, and then it is the time for Jingzhou to rule.
At dawn, he suddenly felt a sense of unease, after getting up at night, he opened the door, looked up at the sky, and saw that at this time the two stars of crape myrtle wall in the north sky were shining, and the purple micro star suddenly flickered, and a meteor suddenly appeared in the crape myrtle wall.
What's going on?
In Jiangxia County, at this time, someone was suddenly awakened, and observed this scene, it was Huang Chengyan, he thought carefully for a while, looked for the information that came to other places in the past two days, combined with the celestial phenomena, and hurriedly sent people.
After the quick handwriting, he ordered someone to pass it out, and quickly ordered someone to call Huang Zu and Cai Mao, waiting for Huang Zu and Cai Mao to arrive in the starry night, Huang Chengyan said: "I expect that Huangfu Song will inevitably lose, and I am even afraid that he will lose his life. ”
Cai Mao opened the silk book and saw that it was a letter of appointment, and Sima Wei, a celebrity, was the matchmaker to marry Cai Mao's second sister for Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, which was something that had been negotiated before, and there was nothing strange about it, this matter was handled by Huang Chengyan, because Huang Chengyan was his eldest brother-in-law.
The condition for negotiation is that Huang Zu is Jiangxia Taishou, at this time Huang Zu is already Jiangxia County, and only after the conditions are negotiated, he will be promoted to Jiangxia Taishou; Cai Mao will naturally be a county guard, and he originally intended to be the newly established Xiangyang County, which is naturally impossible at this time.
"De Jue, today you will send the second sister to Wancheng and get married as soon as possible, the world may change greatly!"
From the celestial phenomena, it can be seen that there may be variables in the Han Palace, and now in the Han Palace, the variable that can be there is the great funeral of the Son of Heaven.
Although the interest negotiation with Liu Biao has not been done well, but now it is no longer possible, since the general conditions have been negotiated, the rest will be forgotten!
"Now that the Yellow Turban Thieves have attacked Xiangyang, they have come out with all their might, and the ancestor has recruited troops in Jiangxia to attack Jiangling City in Nanjun, I have already done some, and I will entrust you with the rest."
"What about you, big brother?"
Huang Chengyan and Huang Zu are cousins, because Huang Chengyan used to be a member of the party, so he can't be an official for the time being, at this time Huang Zu suddenly asked.
"I want to go to Xiangyang."
……
Huangfu Song also felt that something was wrong, although he was on guard, but when it was dawn, he came out again to take a look, and only then did he know that something was wrong, and the yellow scarf actually came out with all his might.
Nanjun Yellow Turban, all the people are soldiers, that is, 100,000 people, the previous few battles, a lot of injuries, in addition to the old, weak, women and children, there are only 80,000 or 90,000 left, look at this, it turned out that all of them have arrived.
The cavalry is afraid that there are 10,000 and 5,000, and the infantry army is already approaching the city of Xiangyang, and it is actually a detour, definitely more than 50,000 people.
At this time, Huangfu Song climbed high and looked, and it could be seen that there were thousands of Yellow Turban knights on the other side of the river, dotted all over the place, definitely more than ten formations, just besieging the retreat of Cao Cao and others.
If Cao Cao and others want to retreat at this time, it is estimated that they will be forced to land by the knights who are waiting for work in the Yellow Turban, their righteous army was defeated earlier, and the morale has not recovered at this time, and there must be no fighting spirit.
"Use the smoke as a message, and order Huang Zhong to stand by and attack the Yellow Turban, and not to rush out."
Huang Fu Song didn't see Huang Zhong, he definitely didn't run away, then it was probably hidden, although the situation was critical, but Huang Fu Song was not in a hurry, he just gave an order to Huang Zhong and ordered him to act at the opportunity.
He doesn't check it for a while, trapped in Xiangyang City, but no matter how bad it is, there are more than 10,000 people in his hands, and there is a city wall in Xiangyang, how can he defend it for three or five days, and as long as there are three days, reinforcements from Nanyang should come.
Two miles west of Xiangyang City, Sun Zhi and others set up two curtains with great fanfare, and countless battle flags were raised in the tents, Huang Tiandang stood the flag, Jingzhou Qushuai Banner and so on, which was very ostentatious.
The whole army was full of food, and he led his own soldiers into the armor array, and with the sound of drums, they pushed the boxcar and the ladder slowly forward.
Sun Zhidu led the middle military camp to attack from the front, and the rest of the divisions and brothers led the front and rear military camps respectively to lead the siege.
"This should be a temptation, not a careless one."
"Wait for the enemy to approach, and then shoot his soldiers."
"There are eight enemy ladders, and they are burned with boiling oil in grass bundles."
"Burn its ladder, and it retreats by itself."
Huangfu Song at this time in the arrangement of protection, at this time Xiangyang City is still a small city with only half of the moat, Xiangshui can only prevent the north and east, but can not prevent the south and west, according to the plan, Liu Biao is ready to dig through the Han water to here, with water intervals and then set up a new city, at this time, the west to the south, as long as the Han River is crossed, then it is unimpeded.
At this time, the circumference of Xiangyang City was less than five miles, and the height of the female wall was only one and a half zhang.
If you don't wear armor, with the physical strength of Hermes-Epitek today, those brave people can even easily climb over such a wall.
The siege sequence of the Chinese military camp, the Sun clan led by Sun Yong, at the moment are all wearing iron basin armor, walking on the right side of the team with weapons, staring at the sergeants of the team with residual vision, they are going to surprise attack, although the Han army Huangfu Song is quite brave, if it is a battle on the plains, even if Huangfu Song only supervises the 10,000 troops, they attack with 50,000 troops, and there is not much chance of winning, but this is a city defense battle, as long as they grab a city.
In the battle to defend the city, it is not easy to give full play to the full strength of the generals, and it is impossible for Huangfu Song to cover everything.
Hands push the wheelbarrow, and the crossbowmen wearing two crotch armor are huddled together behind the boxcar, and each boxcar is an attacking unit; The rest are short spearmen with large oars, and then there are swords, shields, swords and shields for the siege...... and more than a dozen warriors on foot.
"Stand on the shield!"
"Beat the drums!"
Almost instantly, the two sides were twenty paces apart, and the crossbows were fired in unison.
The armored soldier wearing two layers of armor still bowed his head and pushed the ladder forward, and the arrows were also more supported, and he had to follow the ladder if he was seriously injured.
"Do!"
The ladder in front of Sun Yong and others arrived at five steps close to the city wall, and the military officials who commanded the cloud car pulled the rope, and the ladder leaned forward slightly accelerated its descent, with three hooks, and the ladder with the counterweight stone was buckled at the head of the city, and the three buckles were stuck at the mouth of the female wall.
The ladder is eight feet wide and more than three feet long, and it is a plane with a gentle slope!
"Enter!"
At this time, Sun Yong shouted, and more than 100 Yellow Turban wrestlers carried their shields forward, and even crossbows were erected on the shields, and the shields were standing on both sides of the ladder to suppress the city head.
