”That's right …” In the past hundred years, we have been repeatedly castrated and killed, but we do not have the military power … ”
Yuan Zhu could not help but feel sad when he thought of those killed scholars. He could not help but shed a few tears. One by one, they were full of poetry and reading, full of patriotism. Just because they had spoken a few words of truth, they were all killed by the eunuchs as if they were killing chickens.
”Uncle and Uncle, Great General and the empress dowager are fighting, for us scholars, it might be a chance.”
Although Yuan Shao had become a county magistrate before he was twenty years old, he had resigned from office and wandered the world for many years. He had befriended many different people, and the purity and ideals of a scholar had long left him. Even the imperial power worshipped by the scholars had lost its mysterious aura in his eyes.
”Doesn't Great General want to expand the northern troop? Let's make use of this opportunity and mobilize all of our Yuan Family's descendants to join the northern army of the Great General. In the end, we will be the ones to take control of the northern army of the Great General. ”
”Mm …” ”It's a good idea.” Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up and couldn't help stroking his beard. ”The Yuan clan's fourth and third generation officials have been living and dying all over the world. It shouldn't be difficult to find a few high-ranking officers to lead the army.” However, He Jin is not an idiot, he will not let us insert so many people. ”
”Where can he find so many generals in such a hurry?” Yuan Shao was very confident. As long as it was a Scholar, even if they were not born and bred in the Yuan Family, they would still give the Yuan Family some face, which was much better than those wannabe who only knew how to kill.
”If the imperial government were to agree to the expansion of the Great General's army, he would methodically recruit soldiers and generals. Yuan Yuan smiled craftily and said mysteriously, ”That's why we can't get the Imperial Court to agree to the expansion of the Great General's army, even if we have to offend him. But you can make a suggestion to Great General and have him use the name of exterminating castrations to recruit generals from all four sides and bring troops from the Hero and hero into the capital. This way, we can arrange for our men to come here with us, and also make He Jin and the Eunuch our enemies. Of course, He Jin has also expanded the northern troop, allowing the people of the world to see his despotic face.
”Uncle and Uncle, once the Recruitment Order s from Great General appear, it would be fine for the soldiers to come. But what if the soldiers from the wannabe come too?” Hearing Yuan Zhong's plan of killing three birds with one stone, Yuan Shao was shocked and immediately stood up and asked.
”Hehe …” Looking at the present world, only the Youzhou, the Liang Zhou with heavy soldiers, was able to do so. These two were loyal and righteous people. Without the Young Emperor's orders, they would definitely not come just by relying on the Great General's Recruitment Order. As for Dong Zhuo who is stuck in the east side of the river, he only has three thousand personal guards under his command, there's nothing to worry about. ”
Yuan Yuan stroked his beard and laughed complacently. If the Scholars controlled the northern troop, even if He Jin didn't want to kill the eunuch, he would have to do so. Once He Jin killed the eunuch, he would tightly tie He Jin to the scholar's chariot. Other than being obedient, he had no other way out.
On the morning of the second day, a few Young Eunuch came to the Great General's Estate. On one hand, they wanted to visit the Great General to pass on his greetings. On the other hand, they also brought along the orders from the Empress Dowager He: In view of the current financial situation, they are temporarily unable to expand the northern troop.
However, when a few Young Eunuch s chatted with He Jin, they seemed to accidentally leak out a piece of important news. It was because Master Tutor Yuan Wu rejected Grand General Ho Jin's Recital, that the empress dowager didn't agree to it, and the eunuchs didn't say anything.
After the few Young Eunuch s left, He Jin immediately got up from the bed. He did not look like he was sick at all, he immediately ordered the servants to inform his aides and Generals s, and then quickly went to his hall to discuss the important matters.
”All of you encourage me every day to kill Geng Zhi and return the world's innocence. But if I wanted to expand the northern troop, this would be a great plan to kill all the eunuchs, but I was rejected by Master Tutor Yuan Wu! Tell me, how did this happen? ”
He Jin's tone was extremely unkind. His eyes swept up and down Yuan Shao's and Yuan Shu's faces, trying to discern something from their faces. He really did not understand. Expanding the northern army would be profitable for the scholars as well. After all, many of the leaders came from the Scholar, so why would Yuan Zhong oppose this?
They did not know what had happened, and could only look at Yuan Shao with wide eyes. Yuan Shao was both Grand General Ho Jin's right-hand man and's Yuan Zhong's nephew. He should know the ins and outs of the matter.
”Great General, I did not know that you wanted to expand the northern troop, nor do I know why Master Tutor rejected your Recital.” Yuan Shao cleared himself first, then said slowly: ”The world is not at peace now, thieves are everywhere, the imperial government has used troops for many years, the national treasury is too big to bear, the imperial government will definitely not be able to afford to expand the northern army.”
