Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 231 Reorganization of the Three Guards
Liu Yu left Xu's house and entered his own house within a few steps. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the captain Zhang Da waiting anxiously in the front yard.

Zhang Da is Zhang Qiling, who was ordered to escort Cai Yan's father and daughter and Huangfu Ying's family to Hulaoguan to settle down.

According to Liu Yu's order, he had to stay by Cai Yan's side to protect him. Why did he come back suddenly? Could it be that something happened to Cai Yan and the others?

After some inquiries, I found out that Cai Yan's father and daughter and Huangfuying's family were all safe, but Hulao Pass was not suitable for settlement, so Jia Xu arranged for them to live in Chengmou County.

Although Cai Yan's father and daughter are fine, Zhang Da still brought some bad news here.

Sun Jian ran away.

He fled to Yangzhou with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and more than 300 soldiers.

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly opened the system to check, but he couldn't find the attribute panels of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.

As for Sun Jian, he did not sincerely serve Liu Yu, and the system cannot remotely find out the attributes of generals who have no loyalty.

"What's going on here?" Liu Yu asked angrily.

Zhang Da didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the story in detail, and then handed over Tian Feng's and Gao Shun's confessions to him.

It turned out that Guan Yu was ordered to lead troops to pretend to attack Gong County that day. Guan Yu was playing under the banner of Sun Jian, but he didn't want the real Sun Jian to take advantage of the small number of troops in Chengmou County and the lack of strict defense. He fled with two of his original subordinates, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. up.

In fact, Sun Jian's escape had already begun. This can be seen from the fact that he has not sworn allegiance to Liu Yu, and the loyalty of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai has been declining.

Liu Yu originally wanted to take some time to suppress and appease, but in the past month or so, Liu Yu has been too busy. He first hid in the dark to lay out and command the battle of Hongnong, and cut off one of Dong Zhuo's "arms" ".

Then he personally went to Funiu Mountain, hundreds of miles away, and persuaded Zhu Jun to send out suspicious troops to harass the southeast.

So the second step of the "Plan to Cut Dong" was successfully completed. Lu Bu defected to Luoyang and persuaded Liu Biao to hand over the food in the underground palace.

Even these two days, Liu Yu has not been idle, he is considering how to implement the third step plan.

Looking back now, Liu Yu's plans are perfect, but the danger of the process is also scary.

Dong Zhuo's continuous probing, Li Ru's insidiousness, and various intrigues before and after the alliance with Lu Bu all brought Liu Yu a lot of trouble and danger.

In addition, after he returned to Luoyang, he was not promoted to an official rank, and he did not appear on the front line of Hulaoguan for a long time, which naturally made some ambitious new generals feel alienated.

Fortunately, Liu Yu arranged a triangular combination of Guan Yu, Tian Feng and Gao Shun in Chengmou County. Guan Yu led the troops to leave, and Tian Feng and Gao Shun controlled the overall situation.

Otherwise, Sun Jian might not only have escaped, but might have more serious consequences such as a mutiny in Chengmou County.

Looking at the incrimination letters of Tian Feng and Gao Shun, Liu Yu knew that they were not to blame for this matter, let alone Guan Yu who led the troops on the mission.

It can only be said that the timing was not good. If Sun Jian could be brought by his side like Liu Bei, he might not have made such a big mistake.

Sun Wentai is also a fierce tiger in the Jiangdong area. If he goes to Jiangdong now, he will not fall to Jingzhou again, and his eldest son Sun Ce in his hometown in Wu County is also an adult. I believe that the reunion of their father and son will definitely set off a storm in Yangzhou.

"Forget it, let Sun Jian's family eliminate Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang for me. When the Central Plains is settled, let the emperor transfer them to the capital with a paper edict. The princes will still obey the emperor's orders!"

Liu Yu had the idea of ​​coercing the emperor to order the princes. If Sun Jian refused, he would not hesitate to label Sun Jian as treason.

However, this mistake also sounded the alarm for Liu Yu, and made him plan to reorganize the three guards.

The Seven Battalions and Three Guards are the names given by Liu Yu to the various ministries. The Bright Guard, the Shadow Guard, and the Jinyi Guard are the three guards.

At that time, Liu Yu named Sanwei just for fun, and did not give Sanwei a clear division of labor.

And as the identities of Wang Han and Qin Fu were revealed, and Zhang Da came to Luoyang City, the three guards were handed over to Jia Xu for temporary management.

Now it seems that it is time to redefine the functions of the "three guards" and arrange capable and reliable ministers to rule and manage.

"Send me a general order to transfer the Bright Guard and Shadow Guard to Mengjin County to stand by, and I will rearrange the affairs of the two guards!"

"... As for the Jinyiwei, Qiling is still in charge, but the authority of the Jinyiwei has to be changed. From now on, the Jinyiwei will perform the duty of military supervisor, but the power is not limited to supervising the generals and soldiers during the battle. I will write a letter about the specific functions. Tell Jia Xu to revise it at his discretion!"

The sudden escape of Sun Jian and others sounded the alarm for Liu Yu.

And he also realized that as the number of generals and advisers recruited continues to increase, there will inevitably be disputes and conflicts, and it is even very likely that there will be people like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai who originally had full loyalty, but due to various reasons. Disagreement occurred again.

In order to prevent similar things from happening again in advance, Liu Yu decided to make Jin Yiwei a sharp sword to supervise the whole army.

Zhang Da was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard that his power had suddenly become so great.

Comparable to the position of military governor, the power is already great, and he feels that he can take up this position as a touch gold captain, but Liu Yu still wants to continue to strengthen the power of Jin Yiwei, how can Zhang Da not be excited and shocked.

"Master...my lord, why...you value it so much? The subordinates are really scared, but they are just worried that they will fail the lord's cultivation due to their limited ability!" Zhang Da was so nervous that he stammered.

Liu Yu disagreed with his statement, and encouraged him with a smile: "Since ancient times, the position of supervision has been taken by fair people. Qi Ling is naturally cautious and fair, and he is the best candidate for this position!"

Hearing that the lord trusts Zhang Da so much, he is no longer timid, he clasped his fists in a stable mood and accepted the order, "Thank you, lord, for your support and support. This subordinate will definitely act impartially and swear allegiance to the death!"

Zhang Da was chosen as the commander of Jinyiwei. On the one hand, he was loyal enough, and on the other hand, it was because he did not have much contact with famous generals and advisers in history, so he would not be unfair in doing things because of favors!

But the candidates for the commander of the other two guards should not only look at loyalty and character.

According to Liu Yu's idea, he planned to train the Bright Guards to be like special forces. Pre-war spying, assassination behind enemy lines, and small-scale assaults would be the subjects of Bright Guard's future training.

At present, Liu Yu has not thought of a suitable candidate to be the commander of the Bright Guard, so he decided to direct and arrange the training himself.

For the transformation of the Shadow Guard, Liu Yu's ideas are even bolder. He plans to use the current personnel of the Shadow Guard as a team to immediately carry out and teach intelligence work.
