Chapter 6: Seizure of Troops


Liu Cheng walked out of the arsenal wearing a battle armor and boots, holding a broken army boring machine, hanging a greedy wolf knife on his waist, and a scarlet cloak on his shoulders.

He just said goodbye to the guarding eunuch, and when he turned around, he met the eunuch Pan Yin, who was holding a scroll.

Huang Silu and four young eunuchs hurried over and said to Liu Cheng: "Master Liu, the edict has been obtained.

The Queen Mother ordered our family to go to the Xiyuan Army Center with Master Liu."

"Okay, without further ado, let's leave now" Several people quickly left Zhuque Que and rode towards the Xiyuan Army.

The emperor's chariot returned, and the rebels from all over Luoyang City also returned to the camp.

Liu Cheng and others rarely saw the rebels rioting along the way, and they quickly arrived at the Xiyuan Camp.

"Who is coming?

Stop and dismount."

At the gate of the camp, a junior high school officer saw Liu Cheng and others coming on horseback.

He immediately held a knife in one hand and stretched out his other hand to stop Liu Cheng and others and shouted.

Liu Cheng signaled Pan Yin to lift up the imperial edict, but he did not stop and shouted: "When the imperial edict arrives, anyone who dares to block it will be shot to death."

When the gatekeeper saw Liu Cheng being tall and mighty, followed by a small Huangmen and several young eunuchs, he immediately did not dare to stop him and quickly stepped aside to let Liu Cheng ride straight into the camp.

In fact, even if an imperial edict arrives, the gatekeeper cannot let the little yellow gate who announces the edict go straight to the military camp.

Instead, he has to send someone to notify the camp's general to come to greet him and receive the edict in accordance with the relevant etiquette.

But now it is in chaos, and the Xiyuan Army The head coach Jian Shuo had already been killed by He Jin, and no one of the eight captains of the Xiyuan Army was qualified to preside over major military affairs.

Liu Cheng asked Pan Yin while riding his horse: "Eunuch Pan, have you been to Xiyuan Military Center before?

Do you know where the right school is stationed?"

Pan Yin said: "Been here, these eight schools are stationed in one of the directions, and the right school is in the northeast corner."

With Pan Yin leading the way, several people quickly found the right school camp.

It was also a separate camp with rows of barracks.

A sword-wielding soldier and several spear-wielding soldiers stood guard at the door.

They saw Liu Cheng and others A man came galloping on horseback.

He immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Liu Cheng shouted: "I am Liu Cheng, His Majesty the Emperor's personal title of Lieutenant General of Yulin and Bo of Anyi.

I have been ordered to come with Eunuch Pan of Xiaohuangmen to announce the decree.

You will open the gate as soon as possible and send someone to report to Chunyu Qiong, the Lieutenant of the Right Military Academy." , Army Sima Zhao Rui and his five subordinate army officers came to greet the angel."

"Ah, yes, open the camp door quickly."

The sword-carrying soldier quickly waved to several spear-wielding soldiers to open the camp door, and one of the soldiers quickly ran towards the barracks.

By the time Liu Cheng and others arrived in front of the military meeting hall, Army Sima Zhao Rui and five military marquises had already greeted them from the meeting hall.

The Marquis of Qujun, Lu Weihuang, the Marquis of Youqu, Liang Chengyi, and the Marquis of Zhongqu, Xia Chaozong, respectfully welcome the angels and their armored men.

Please forgive me for not being able to show the courtesy."

Liu Cheng's mouth suddenly opened wide and he was so shocked that he almost staggered.

He remembered that the historical records of his previous life recorded that among these people, except for Liang Chengyi and Xia Chaozong, the others were all led by Cao Cao when they were stationed in Wuchao with Chun Yuqiong.

In a sneak attack, they were all killed.

I dare not believe that these people are Yuan Shao's people so early, and they are still the same team.

I'm afraid, this is trouble.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to take over the military power easily.

Liu Cheng and others dismounted and handed the horses to the young eunuch behind him.

He calmed down and glanced at Pan Yin.

Pan Yin nodded slightly and said to Army Sima Zhao Rui: "Zhao Sima, where is Chunyu Qiong?"

Zhao Rui cupped his fists and bowed and said: "Back to Angel, I don't know how humble my position is.

The captain was ordered to lead the troops out of the camp yesterday.

Most of the soldiers have returned to the camp.

Only Master Chunyu and a few soldiers have not returned yet."

Liu Cheng sneered and said: "Whose order are you following?

The Xiyuan Army has been directly under the emperor since the day it was formed.

Except for Jian Shuo, the commander of the military academy, who can command all the armies, no one has the right to mobilize any soldiers without the tiger talisman and the imperial edict."

Jian Shuo is dead, who can mobilize you?"

"This" Zhao Rui was speechless.

A man from among the five military commanders clasped his fists and said: "General, we don't know whose orders Master Chunyu received, but we only obey orders from Master Chunyu.

Not long ago, Master Chunyu sent someone to report that he was injured in the battle last night and is now at home.

"Recuperate" Liu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he said to himself that it would be a good thing if he was not here.

If he were here, it would take some time for me to successfully take over the military power.

He immediately waved his hand: "Chun Yuqiong's presence or absence does not matter.

Before announcing the decree, please ask Zhao Sima to immediately send people to beat drums to gather the soldiers and notify the garrison at the camp gate.

From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed." " Seeing that Liu Cheng was speaking with murderous intent, Zhao Rui suddenly felt a chill in his heart and quickly agreed: "Yes, your lord is here, beat the drums to gather the troops.

Chun Yu is not here.

The right army's Sima is in charge.

I will pass on my military orders from now on." , no one is allowed to enter or exit, any trespassers will be shot to death.”

"Yes," a messenger agreed and ran towards the camp gate.

"Dong dong dong" the drums sounded soon, and the sergeants arrived belatedly.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers from the right school stood on the school field in a decent manner.

Liu Cheng, Pan Yin, Zhao Rui, Han Luzi, Lu Weihuang, Liang Chengyi, Xia Chaozong and several young eunuchs walked up to the high platform.

Pan Yin took the imperial edict from the young eunuch, stepped forward, unfolded the imperial edict and shouted: " Emperor's decree" Zhao Rui and others walked to the front and stood in a row, kneeling down in front of Pan Yin who was holding the imperial decree.

More than 2,000 people in the audience also knelt down.

"I heard that Chun Yuqiong, the right-wing captain of the Xiyuan Army, did not think of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

He led troops to attack the palace without permission, killed thousands of palace residents, and sent troops to burn, kill and loot the city.

This was a serious crime of treason.

People and gods were outraged.

I immediately dismissed Chunyu Qiong from his official position. , immediately beheaded without pardon, confiscated his family property, executed the right army officers and soldiers of the three tribes, and followed Chunyu Qiong to attack the palace.

They have ravaged the people and committed great mistakes.

They should all be killed.

I remember that God has the virtue of good life.

You don't know the reason and are deceived by Chun Yuqiong.

It is excusable.

Now I only punish the first culprit, and the rest are not guilty.

I will not take the blame in the past.

I ordered General Yu Lin Zhonglang and Anyi Bo Liu Cheng to take over the post of captain of the Right Army and command the troops and horses of the Right Army.

I admire this."

More than two thousand people in the audience looked at each other in shock.

Several military commanders on the stage were also horrified at this time.

Liu Cheng shouted: "You still don't thank His Majesty for your kindness.

Do you really want to rebel?"

The soldiers were not Yuan Shao's confidants, and they immediately shouted: "Thank you for your grace, long live, long live, long live" Suddenly, Qianqu Junhou Sui Yuanjin stood up, pointed at Liu Cheng and others and shouted: "Wait a minute, you said you are Yu Lin Zhonglang General and Anyi Bo, why have we never seen you?"

"That's right, you must be falsely passing on the imperial edict.

Brothers, take down all these people who are falsely passing on the imperial edict."

Houqujunhou Han Luzi shouted, and immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Liu Cheng.

"Bold, I have known for a long time that you and the Yuan family eagle dogs are unwilling to lose their military power.

As expected, I have guessed that you dare to openly disobey the order.

In fact, you deserve to die."

Liu Cheng shouted, and immediately drew his sword and rushed towards the unprepared Sui Yuanjin struck with one knife.

Sui Yuanjin was horrified, and hurriedly drew his sword to resist.

There was a click, and Sui Yuanjin's long sword was cut in two by Liu Cheng's Greedy Wolf Saber, which was as sharp as clay.

Falling to the ground, blood spurted out like a fountain, and the headless body fell to the ground with a "bump".

Han Luzi watched helplessly as Sui Yuanjin was decapitated by Liu Cheng.

He angrily struck at Liu Cheng with his sword.

Liu Cheng blocked it with his sword.

The real power in his dantian was running at full speed until both arms used maximum strength and the fastest speed to cut several times.

Knife, last Two knives hit Han Luzi's sword.

Han Luzi didn't move.

He didn't dodge like a fool.

Liu Cheng chopped the knife into several pieces.

Liu Cheng was a little surprised, but he didn't think about it.

When the other person deserves to die.

The fight was over in the blink of an eye.

Liu Cheng looked at Zhao Rui, Lu Weihuang, Liang Chengyi, Xia Chaozong and others while holding the bloody Greedy Wolf Sword like a fierce man, and shouted coldly: "You also want to resist the decree?"

Do not comply" Zhao Rui hurriedly knelt down on the stage and said: "I don't dare to be in a humble position, but I am willing to obey the imperial edict, and I hope that the adults will act accordingly."

Liu Cheng glanced at several other people.

Seeing Zhao Rui's behavior, Lu Weihuang, Liang Chengyi and Xia Chaozong also bowed down: "I have received the imperial edict, and I hope that you will obey me."

Liu Cheng observed these people and found that Zhao Rui should not be from Yuan Shao.

This could be seen from his attitude just now.

As for the other three people, he was a little uncertain.

He looked at Zhao Rui and asked: "Zhao Sima, except Han Lu Zi and Sui Yuanjin are Yuan Shao’s people.

Who else is Yuan Shao’s people?

Tell me.”

Zhao Rui hurriedly held up his hands and said: "Sir, in fact, we are not very familiar with Yuan Shao.

Han Luzi and Sui Yuanjin have been roped in by Chun Yuqiong to obey Yuan Shao.

A few days ago, Chun Yuqiong was instructed by Yuan Shao to win over us and hinted that we would serve Yuan Shao. , at that time we were thinking that we are a Han army, how could we become subordinates of someone’s private army?

Therefore Without making a clear statement, Chunyu Qiong summoned us yesterday to pretend to deliver an edict to punish the thieves, and ordered to mobilize troops and horses to go out of the camp.

We didn't know it at first, and we didn't know until we arrived at Zhuque Que that we were going to attack the palace, but by then we were already riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

There are people like Chunyu Qiong, Sui Yuanjin, Han Luzi and others who are watching and threatening us, so we have no choice but to obey."

Lu Weihuang, Liang Chengyi, Xia Chaozong and others also said: "Yes, sir, everything Mr.

Zhao said is true.

We are loyal to the Han Dynasty and did not obey the orders of Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong.

We were forced to do what happened recently."

Liu Cheng's murderous eyes swept over the faces of several people, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you, His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that the past will be forgotten, so what you have done recently will be wiped out, and no one can mention it again.

From now on, this officer has the final say on the Right Army, and any military orders given to you by anyone overstepping my authority will be invalid."

Everyone immediately clasped their fists and agreed: "Promise" Liu Cheng scanned several people's faces again and shouted: "Where is Xia Chaozong, the Marquis of Zhongqu Army?"

Xia Chaozong's heart tightened, he stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "I'm here for my humble duty."

Liu Cheng shouted: "I order you to lead your troops and accompany Eunuch Pan to Chunyu Qiong's home to execute him on the spot.

The property will be confiscated, the family will be exterminated, and all the property obtained from the confiscation will be transported to the army.

There must be no mistake."

"Obey" At this time, Xia Chaozong could no longer care about anything else and could only stand in line, and he had to stand on Liu Cheng's side, otherwise he would be convicted of rebellion.

After Pan Yin and Xia Chaozong left with their troops, Liu Cheng shouted to the audience: "Everyone, get up!"

With a "boom", everyone stood up.

Liu Cheng then helped Zhao Rui, Lu Weihuang, Liang Chengyi and others up one by one and asked: "Zhao Sima, how many troops do we have in the right army now?"

Zhao Rui replied: "In addition to the 5,000 soldiers of the Xiyuan Army and the 500 soldiers of the Dian Army, the eight schools of the Xiyuan Army have 2,500 soldiers in each other school.

Our army lost nearly 300 people in the battle yesterday.

Now, There are more than 2,200 people left.

Excluding the more than 400 people taken away by Marquis Xia and Eunuch Pan, there are still 1,800 people left here."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and asked: "Everyone, I want to select 200 elites from among these people to serve as my troops.

I don't know what you think."

Several people looked at it and said in unison: "Sir, we have no objection."

"In addition, from now on, the troops in the front line will be personally commanded by this officer, and the people in the back line will choose one person from among all the hundred generals in the army.

The selection will be based on two aspects of military art and martial arts.

I will report to Yousi later.

"Master Zhao, you are a military commander, what do you think?"

Zhao Rui said quickly: "I think it's feasible in my humble position."

"Okay."

Liu Cheng nodded and said loudly to the more than 1,800 people in the audience: "I have three things to announce today: First, I want to select 200 brave men from among you to serve as the commander. , my military pay will be doubled every month, and the food will be doubled.

One person can recommend two people.

If anyone is dissatisfied, he can challenge the recommended person, and the winner can replace the second one, and I will also serve as the front officer.

The Military Marquis personally leads the troops of Qianqu, and the Military Marquis of Houqu is selected from among the hundred generals in the army.

The officer will conduct assessments in terms of military tactics and martial arts, and the best candidate will be appointed as the Military Marquis of Houqu.

Hundreds of generals will come up to the stage.

If there is no challenge from the other people recommended by Ben Shi to serve as subordinates, they can go to the front of the stage and stand in front of the generals.

If anyone challenges, the winner will be decided on the spot."

Some hundreds of people will come to the stage immediately, and Liu Cheng will immediately assess them individually, while many brave people who have been recommended by the audience are also coming to the stage to stand in line.

With twice the military pay and twice as much food, those who were recommended as members of the personal guard group came forward one after another.

There were only eleven people among them, and they spent a lot of time together.

Now, everyone knows each other's strength thoroughly.

Everyone knows who is the bravest and who is the coward.

Only a handful of dissenters challenge the elected one
