Chapter 183 Ding Yuan’s role
There are no cavalry in Shanglin. This setting of Liu Cang seems to be really amazing.
It was normal for horses to be released in Shanglin Garden, but after Jian Shuo explained the final destination of the horses in Shanglin Garden, Liu Cang really didn't know whether to say that Liu Hong was acting nonsense.
It can’t really be said that the war horses in Shanglinyuan were beaten by Liu Hong.
Even He Jin, a general with two swords, knew that he needed direct descendants to lead troops abroad. Obviously, as the emperor, Liu Hong also had this awareness.
It is said that during the reign of Liu Hong, there was a poor boy who was proficient in military strategy. He had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and he was fully equipped with troops and horses. He was active in Bingzhou for a generation and fought against Xianbei. There was no order from the governor of Bingzhou, and he had been harassing Xianbei for a long time.
Okay, this setting is also a bit ridiculous at first glance, but there really is such an existence - Bingzhou Dingyuan.
Where are the war horses in Shanglinyuan? They were all assigned to Ding Yuan by Liu Hong.
"Ding Yuan is a detestable person. He leads the army as a captain and is often stationed in border areas. He often brings war profits and property to His Majesty, but he intercepts most of the troops, horses, salt and iron to strengthen himself." Speaking of Ding Yuan,
Jian Shuo brought out some hatred.
"Do you think you don't want to gain combat power for us to station troops in Shanglin? It is said that we are the ones closest to His Majesty, but Na Dingyuan often said that the grassland is rich but cannot penetrate deeply due to the lack of cavalry maneuvers."
"Your Majesty believes it. There are so many troops and horses that I can't do anything about it." Jian Shuo was frustrated.
"If Haoxuan wants troops and horses, he still needs to talk to your majesty. I am already powerless in this regard. Ding Yuan is also the capital of the house. Your majesty likes that he often gets money. It is said that all the soldiers and horses are at his heart. He really doesn't know him.
How to raise an army like this?"
"Humph, earlier He Jin had allocated heavy supplies and supplies for the army, and he had no excuse for it. I thought he was ambitious, but your majesty believed that he was cunning. Alas.
"Jian Shuo sighed, while Liu Cang was speechless.
Good guy, Ding Yuan?
Forget it, now that there are all the regular attendants in Shanglin Garden, and they belong to the emperor and empress, Liu Cang already feels that it is troublesome enough. He has no interest in involving Ding Yuan, who can make money for Liu Hong, into his daily life.
among.
Today, Ding Yuan's official position is not high-end, and he does not even have a fixed station, but he has a very strange group of soldiers and horses under his command.
In fact, Ding Yuan's current position is a bit similar to that of Sun Jian. He is the commander of Wu Meng. To put it bluntly, he is the commander of a certain department.
The only difference from Sun Jian is that the person standing behind Ding Yuan is different. Rather than saying that he is the general leading the army outside Liu Hong, it is better to say that he is a powerful man who has obtained a "private plundering license".
In other words, this is a powerful martial artist raised by Liu Hong, but he doesn't know whether he will eventually become a general leading the army of His Majesty the Emperor, or another warlord under the general's command.
Regarding Ding Yuan, Liu Cang really couldn't place him because his understanding of him in his previous life was too one-sided. He was a guy with no 'end'.
In terms of knowledge in his previous life, Ding Yuan kept a low profile before Liu Hong's death. He also sent troops and generals when the eunuchs wanted to enrich the central armed forces. However, after Liu Hong's death, when He Jin wanted to recruit him to plot against the eunuchs, he did not refuse.
But to be honest, He Jin took Ding Yuan to plot against the eunuchs, and Ding Yuan went to the Yellow River to set off wildfires, but it seemed that nothing was done. Then He Jin died, which made Liu Cang not dare to talk nonsense.
.
Liu Hong died, He Jin also died, the queen was the biggest in the royal family, Ding Yuan came to the throne, and he listened to the queen's orders.
At this point, it's still hard to say what kind of person Ding Yuan is.
It might be easier to analyze if there is a funeral, but does Ding Yuan have a funeral? Obviously, no.
After taking office, Ding Yuan still did nothing. Then, he was stabbed by his adopted son. Then his adopted son Lu Bu boldly led the Bingzhou army to mix with Dong Zhuo.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and have many reading sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Liu Cang spent a while sifting through memories in his mind, and sure enough, he still couldn't tell what kind of person Ding Yuan was. There were various dramas in this guy's life. Generally speaking, it seemed that before Liu Hong died, he should have been from the royal family?
"Jian Changshi, my uncle has never mentioned anything about Ding Yuan to me. Even if His Majesty has great trust in him, our Shanglin army can be regarded as His Majesty's private soldiers. Is it possible that Your Majesty will release his own armaments outside like this?"
Speaking of Ding Yuan, many of the eunuchs present shared the same hatred.
However, Liu Hong's impression on Liu Cang was that he should eat everything and collect all his property, but giving war horses was somewhat inconsistent with Liu Hong's character. Liu Cang was confused, that guy should be an emperor who attaches great importance to 'ability'.
"Sigh~ To say that His Majesty's deployment of war horses does not count as a deployment of military equipment to the outside world. After all, there are many border troops recruiting the Forbidden Army, and there is no shortage of Forbidden Army cavalry. Your Majesty and your regular attendants do not care much about this, but it is a pity that we have suffered in the end."
Jian Shuo sighed, his eyes scanning Liu Cang's face again and again, as if he wanted to see Liu Cang's emotions.
"Haha, Cang certainly understands what Jian Changshi means." Liu Cang chuckled and shook his head. Jian Shuodan's emotional control was much worse than Zhang Rang's.
"Uncle, I'll ask you about it, but even if you find a war horse, Cang will definitely have to mate it with his own son first. Chang Shi can talk about this, but he must not pacify a certain war horse." Liu Cang said to Jian Shuo.
"That's natural. How can you do something that ruins the harmony of your family?" Jian Shuo said seriously with a smile on his face.
It's not that Liu Hong and other regular servants of the Shaofu don't care about military affairs, but they see no difference between the imperial army and the Shanglin garrison. Since there are ready-made elite troops, why bother to worry about the Shanglin garrison.
This also caused Jian Shuo to be unable to fight alone. Although he had many soldiers, he lacked armaments. Although he was leading the troops in Shanglin, he was weak among the regular servants of the young government.
The normal weapons and armor arsenal is more or less in stock. If necessary, Jian Shuo can also think of a way in this regard, but the matter of war horses is really a problem for him. If he can get Zhang Rang's support, Liu Hong should be able to do it.
Coax a lot.
"How about capturing some of the horses in Shanglin Garden first?" Both of them spoke clearly. Since there was no conflict, Liu Cang asked Jian Shuo.
"It's best not to." Jian Shuo shook his head, and Liu Cang asked.
"The wild horses in Shanglin Garden are enough for Haoxuan to form an army, but the year is approaching, and Ding Yuan may have to send some people to Luo to pay tribute." Seeing that Liu Cang only had questions but was not dissatisfied or angry, Jian Shuo explained with a smile.
.
"The wild horses in the garden need to be tamed. If they are tamed, they will inevitably be begged by Ding Yuan again. In the past two years, I have deliberately ignored the horses. Even if Ding Yuan asks, your majesty will not let us capture the horses and tame them temporarily."
Jian Shuo smiled proudly.
".
"Well, Liu Cang was speechless and grinned for a moment. This is a confrontation, right? Or maybe Liu Hong doesn't resist this kind of confrontation?
"Why is Haoxuan laughing?" Seeing Liu Cang's strange laughter, Jian Shuo asked.
"Haha, I think it's ridiculous. It's really not easy for us." Liu Cang smiled and looked around him.
"That's not what happened. Haha." When Liu Cang's eyes came into contact, several eunuchs laughed together as if they felt the same. When they were talking and laughing, they seemed to recognize Liu Cang more, and the relationship between them seemed to be a little closer.
Shaking his head and laughing together, Liu Cang laughed at himself again. He had encountered some ridiculous things recently, so he was just playing with the eunuchs.
"Young princes, I will choose my soldiers first." After laughing for a while, Liu Cang said to everyone.
"Haoxuan does it yourself." Jian Shuo responded, while Pan Yin and Zhao Chun both nodded and smiled at Liu Cang.
Walking to the front of the military formation, his generals followed Liu Cang. The soldiers stationed in Shanglin stood up straight. Liu Cang glanced at the crowded crowd. For some reason, he felt suffocated in his heart. He pondered for a moment, and then exhaled loudly.
"Two days of exercise, five days of hard training, you can be a featherweight! Come out!" The shout shook Jianzhang, as if there was snow falling on the roof of the palace.
"Chirp~~"
The loud shouting caused the eagles to cry in the mountains, which seemed to be desolate for a long time.
"Those who can serve as Yulin! Come out!" Behind Liu Cang, dozens of brave men shouted in unison.
