Liu Cheng was stunned, "I am already the Duke of Anyi.
I was promoted to Marquis within two months of being conferred.
Isn't it too ostentatious?
I'm afraid many people will be jealous."
"Are you afraid that others will be jealous and you think the title is too high?"
Queen Mother He rolled her eyes at Liu Cheng, sat up, wrapped herself in a thick quilt and leaned back on the bed, saying sternly: "The Ai family wants to tell everyone that as long as Those who are loyal to the Ai family and loyal to His Majesty will have high official positions, great salaries, honors, and wealth at their fingertips.
Those who have evil intentions, are disloyal, and are alienated from the imperial court will definitely have a bad end."
Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Queen Mother, you are trying to make me hated by everyone."
"Queen Mother, there is one more thing.
It is time to transfer the Changshui Xiaowei Department and Shesheng Xiaowei Department stationed in Fufeng County back to Beijing from Huangfu Song's command.
We must strengthen the army.
If we transfer the Changshui Xiaowei Department and Shesheng Xiaowei Department back to Beijing, we must strengthen the army.
Shoot the sound of Xiaowei's headquarters, and the combat power of the Northern Army will increase exponentially," Liu Cheng suggested again.
Empress Dowager He wondered: "The combined strength of the Changshui Colonel and Shesheng Colonels is only over 12,000.
Even if they are transferred back to the capital, the Northern Army's strength will only be over 30,000.
How can we say that the Northern Army The combat effectiveness can be doubled.”
Changshui Xiaowei has 150 officials under his command, and often has more than 700 Wuwan Huqi.
However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Xiqiang Rebellion, it was obvious that such a small number of troops could no longer cope with the war, so regardless of Whether it was the captain of Changshui School or other schools, the number of troops under his command increased almost tenfold.
Liu Cheng explained: "Your Majesty, the Changshui Colonel's men are all Hu cavalry, who are good at light cavalry combat, while the Shesheng Colonel's men are almost all archers.
If the army has a large number of archers and crossbowmen participating in the battle, it can use many tactics. , if the five schools of the Northern Army are gathered together, our army will have complete arms.
If all arms work together to fight, the combat power they can display cannot be compared to that of a single arm."
Empress Dowager He asked again: "Didn't you say that Huangfu Song's troops could not be mobilized back to Beijing to fight against Dong Zhuo?
Why did you want to mobilize the Changshui Xiaowei Department and Shesheng Xiaowei Department back now?
Huangfu Song only had 30,000 troops.
If After bringing back the soldiers and horses from these two schools, there will be less than 20,000 people left under Huangfu Song's command.
Can they control the Guanzhong area?"
Liu Cheng said: "At this moment, I received reliable news that the Liangzhou rebels who attacked the Sanfu area have now started fighting among themselves because of the dethronement of the kingdom.
Their strength has weakened, and they are temporarily unable to cause much damage to the Guanzhong area.
Threatened, Dong Zhuo mobilized another 20,000 horses to Luoyang and stayed in San There are not too many soldiers and horses in the army anymore.
With Huangfu Song's ability, 18,000 people are enough to guard the Guanzhong area.
Also, although Huangfu Song is a famous general, he is a pedantic person.
I am worried that Dong Zhuo will take control of the direction of the government.
Once Huangfu Song takes over Huangfu Song's military power, he will have nothing to worry about."
Empress Dowager He frowned and said: "This is a troublesome thing.
Now I send someone to replace Huangfu Song but there is no suitable and trustworthy person.
I can't bring Huangfu Song back.
I still need him to be the third assistant.
What should I do?
Do you have What’s the idea?”
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, "I do have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible.
Before Dong Zhuo began to control the direction of the court, the Queen Mother sent Huangfu Song a secret edict in the name of Her Majesty, telling him that as long as the court gives him As long as the imperial edict is not stamped with the seal of the Chuanguo Jade Seal, he will refuse to follow the edict.
From now on, the Chuanguo Jade Seal will be separated from that of other emperors.
The method of separating the treasure and letting the Empress Dowager or a trustworthy person appointed by Her Majesty to keep it alone to prevent Dong Zhuo from getting the jade seal seems to be a no-brainer, but the key lies in whether Huangfu Song will do what the secret edict says. , after all, a secret edict is a secret edict and cannot be seen in the light, and Huangfu Song is a very orthodox and pedantic person.
If he ignores the secret edict," "There is also Jingzhao Yin Gaixun.
This man was deeply valued and favored by the late emperor.

He was upright, not afraid of the powerful, and dared to speak his mind.
He had 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he was also a force that cannot be ignored.
The Queen Mother had to find a way win him over” Empress Dowager He thought and weighed Liu Cheng's suggestion from beginning to end, and then said: "Okay, just do it your way.
No matter whether it works or not, you have to give it a try.
Even if it doesn't work, Huangfu Song shouldn't be able to do it the way he did.
Publicize the secret edict, and then eradicate Dong Zhuo in the future, and then settle the accounts with Huangfu Song."
Women are indeed vengeful animals.
After Liu Cheng saw Queen Mother He say this, a chill in his heart hit the top of his head.
He barely controlled his emotions and discussed some things with Queen Mother He before putting on his clothes and leaving Deyang Palace through the tunnel. .
Early the next morning, Liu Cheng talked to Zhong Ji in the military camp, while Xu Rong, Wu Fu and others were training soldiers and horses in the school field.
"Seed Collection" "I'm in a humble position" Zhongji stepped forward and bowed with his fists clasped in agreement.
"I ask you, what is the most important thing as a soldier?"
Zhong Ji was about to answer, but he held back.
He realized that this question must not be a simple one, otherwise Liu Cheng would not ask this.
He thought for a long time and finally got an answer he thought he was satisfied with.
He cupped his fists and replied: "General, I believe that the most important thing for soldiers is to obey military orders.
If soldiers disobey military orders and have doubts about military orders, then the army cannot When fighting, you cannot exert your maximum combat power."
Liu Cheng was very satisfied, "Yes, soldiers must obey military orders.
Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, without bargaining or questioning, they must be resolutely implemented.
Orders and prohibitions are the prerequisite for the army to win the battle.
In the battle a few days ago, if you commanded You are determined, have a strategy, and have contributed a lot.
This general has recommended you to the imperial court to take over the position of infantry captain.
I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."
Zhong Ji's spirit was shaken, and he immediately bowed down with clasped fists and said: "Thank you for your appreciation of this humble position, General.
I will definitely fulfill my duties."
Before Zhongji could finish his words, a small school commander walked in and reported: "General, the imperial court sent an envoy to announce the decree."
"Hurry and prepare the incense table, and open the camp door wide to welcome the angels."
It was Zhao Chun who announced the decree, which ordered Liu Cheng to lead the Northern Army as the right general and take charge of all military affairs of the Northern Army.
Now Liu Cheng not only had the power to command the troops, but also had the tiger talisman in hand, which allowed him to carry out large-scale reorganization of the Northern Army and completely control the Northern Army.
At the same time, another edict was sent from Luoyang to Fufeng County.
This was an edict to transfer back the Changshui Xiaowei Department and Shesheng Xiaowei Department.
After sending Zhao Chun away, Liu Cheng immediately left Xu Rong, Wu Fu, Zhong Ji and others to discuss.
He decided to comprehensively change the training plan and increase the training content in military posture, formation, etc., and at the same time, he planned to change the combat organization and combine all aspects of training.
Mix the units and formulate the best lineup configuration.
The new organization stipulates: One Shi has two troops, with the chief as the commander, one of which is sword and shield soldiers, and the other is spear soldiers, led by the commander respectively; the five Shi form a team, with one team officer as the leader.
Sir, four of them are infantrymen with swords, shields and spears, one are archers and crossbowmen; ten are The team is a camp, with the commander as the commander, eight of which are infantry and two are cavalry.
Either a hundred-man general is sent to command two teams of infantry, or a cavalry captain is sent to command two teams of cavalry; the two villages are a song, and a military waiting team is set up.
One person is the chief, and the five songs in the front, left, right, and middle form a school, with a school captain to lead it.
The settings of the subordinate officers of the School Lieutenant Department will remain unchanged for the time being.
In order not to cause trouble, the title of Colonel still uses the old title.
The new organization is only implemented within the Northern Army and is kept secret from the outside world.
After all, changing the organization is a very significant military change.
Once it is revealed to the central and lower levels of the DPRK, it will inevitably cause huge resistance.
Or the pressure of public opinion, it is difficult for Queen Mother He and the court to explain.
Liu Cheng had just finished discussing with Xu Rong, Wu Fu, Zhong Ji and others when Wang Shuang hurriedly walked in and clasped his fists to report: "General, Zhao Yun sent someone to tell his subordinates to tell the general that Ding Yuan's army has arrived in the city and Ding Yuan has sent people to the city.
