Chapter 236: Occupies the Nest
Following Chen Xi and Xun Yu's statements, most of their counselors also began to take action. In this era, eighty percent of counselors with spiritual talents came from aristocratic families.
Nineteen percent of the remaining counselors came from humble backgrounds. It is worth noting that humble backgrounds do not refer to ordinary people at the bottom of society, but rather the so-called landlords, local tyrants, merchant class, or certain small families.
Among those sitting in the Government Affairs Hall, Guo Jia was perhaps the only one who could be considered to be from the lower class. All the others were from wealthy families in the usual sense.
Chen Xi did not go to find Guo Hao. He believed that Guo Hao would handle the military issues. He only needed to take over all the government affairs. Just as Guo Hao believed in him, he also believed in Guo Hao.
Li Ru did not go either. After all, it was a matter of identity. This was also the reason why he did not inform Zhang Ji in advance. As a subject, he should not overstep his lord's authority.
Even if Guo Hao doesn't care about these things, he can't help but be aware of it.
It would be fine if the lord didn't understand at all, but Guo Hao is a world-famous undefeated military god, he would never cross that invisible boundary.
Li Ru and Jia Xu entered with serious faces and took over the affairs of the Government Affairs Hall. Now that Chen Xi and his advisers from aristocratic families had left, someone had to take responsibility for these matters. This was also what they had discussed with Chen Xi before.
Although many government affairs are planned in advance, there are still many urgent government affairs that need to be handled. Fortunately, there are counselors like Lu Su who moved their families to work overtime, so the government affairs are not chaotic in the short term.
…
"You mean the Champion Marquis disappeared since you entered Luoyang?" Guo Hao felt a little distressed. The God of War he had obtained was gone just like that?
"The Champion Marquis should have gone to Guoyun to recuperate. The other party claims to be Octavian, and seems to be the previous emperor of the Roman Empire!"
Jiang Wei was also extremely panicked. Ever since he stepped into Luoyang City, Marquis Guanjun disappeared immediately. He could not sense the existence of Marquis Guanjun at all. If he had not been able to use his idealistic power, he would have thought it was just his own fantasy.
"Then it should be in the imperial seal, right? I'll go to the palace to check it out later." Guo Hao felt helpless. It was so hard to have a big shot born, how could he just disappear like that?
As for Rome and the like, it’s too far away, we’ll talk about it later.
"By the way, this is my warrant. Bo Yue, take the Yulin Army to reinforce the troops. More than 3,000 Yulin Army are too few." Guo Hao wrote a warrant on the spot and handed it to Jiang Wei.
Then he sent Zhang Ji to find Li Ru to ask whether the country of Parthia really needed support. He should let the advisers of the Government Affairs Office discuss it. He was responsible for military affairs, but the political alliances and so on still had to be controlled by these advisers.
After knowing that it was actually the Yulin Army commanded by Guanjun Hou, Guo Hao also knew that it was impossible for Jiang Wei to command the Yulin Army.
However, Jiang Wei's talent combined with his military spirit was really suitable for replenishing troops, so Guo Hao let Jiang Wei act as the commander and continue to lead the Yulin Army.
There are still many central guards in Luoyang that were disbanded by Liu Hong due to financial problems. The strength of these troops varies, but together with Junhun and Jiang Wei, they are still very good at replenishing the Yulin Army. Even if they are not as strong as the original, they should be enough to fight a few battles on the battlefield.
After all, it is very convenient to replenish soldiers with the Military Soul. Even if the lower limit of replenishing soldiers is raised to the level of three talents because the Yulin Army is a miracle, miracles are still more powerful than three talents. No matter how you calculate it, it is not a loss.
In fact, the Yulin Army had already started to reinforce its troops on its own. Under the leadership of Marquis Guanjun, the Yulin Army was not able to break through the battlefield, which made the whole army feel very uncomfortable. Finally, after several thousand captains and centurions studied it for a long time, they thought it was a problem of number of troops, so as soon as they returned to Luoyang, the Yulin Army brought back more than a thousand reserve troops.
Then he took the reserve troops to the General's Mansion to beat up the Sun Cavalry, calling it a welcome ceremony for the new recruits of the Yulin Army.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. The moment the Yulin Army returned to Luoyang, the Sun Cavalry recalled all members who had no missions to guard the place tightly. They knew that these beasts in the Yulin Army had been coveting the position of their personal guards for a long time, and they would definitely come to cause trouble when they returned this time.
After all, the Sun Cavalry were all members of the Imperial Guards. All the new recruits of the Yulin Army died in this battle. Similarly, the Yulin Army also put all the Sun Cavalry away, and then took over the houses around the General's Mansion.
The urban management force in charge of public security in Luoyang City was completely helpless against the two troops. All the veterans among them had been withdrawn. With their less than average talent, how could they possibly participate in such a chaotic war?
In fact, when the elite troops from the five Beigong schools and the eight Xiyuan schools went out to fight, it was the Sun Cavalry who usually maintained the safety of Luoyang. But now the Sun Cavalry was pinned to the ground and beaten. All they could do was to activate the Luoyang Cloud Array to limit the power of the fight between the two sides.
As soon as the formation was activated, the Sun Cavalry fell even faster. Before the Yulin Army broke through, they were the Yulin Guards, the number one royal guard under the cloud. All their strength was put into extraordinary fighting. Even though the Sun Cavalry had 1,500 reserve members of the Yulin Guards among them.
But they were originally the reserve army, and they served as the reserve army because they could not defeat the Yulin Guards. Now that the gap in strength between the two sides has widened, the Sun Cavalry can only take away all the new recruits of the Yulin Army if they try their best.
"Isn't the defense of Luoyang City too weak?" Sun Jian had a lot of question marks in his head. Ever since Xu Huang was sent out to fight, the defense of Luoyang City was taken over by him and Cao Cao.
"Empty?" Cao Cao glanced at Sun Jian. Isn't this just a lie with open eyes? Do you know that these two legions can be worth tens of thousands of people?
Previously, the Sun Cavalry sent out 1,500 men to quell the rebellion in the area near Luoyang. Do you really think they were joking? The speed at which they crushed the enemy with ease made the Luoyang area so peaceful that no one would pick up anything on the road.
"Not empty?" Sun Jian also looked at Cao Cao with sidelong eyes. He didn't believe that Cao Cao didn't know what he meant.
No matter how powerful a single legion is, there are always ten thousand ways to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If all else fails, they can attack Wei to save Zhao. As for the urban management troops with only single talents under their command, they are probably not as good as the private soldiers secretly accumulated by the aristocratic families.
It’s not that there are no aristocratic families in Luoyang. On the contrary, the power of the aristocratic families in Luoyang is still very strong. It’s just that Luoyang has always been heavily armed, so those aristocratic families have no way to make a name for themselves.
"I guess it's another fishing hook. Chen Zichuan and the others probably want to do something ruthless and make it impossible for the noble families to recover in a short period of time." Cao Cao sighed. How could he not understand? He was the fishing hook and someone was already contacting him again.
When Jia Wenhe found him, he was very reluctant, but facing the conditions offered by Jia Wenhe, he could not refuse after all.
General Zhengxi, that was his long-cherished wish.
Now that Jia Wenhe has promised to let him go to the Western Regions to expand territory after he finishes this job, how can he not be tempted.
