Chapter 127: The candidates for the garrison commanders of the two passes are decided

"What?"

"The Chancellor actually handed over the position of garrison commander of Sishui Pass to Hu Zhen, and the position of garrison commander of Hulao Pass to Zhang Liao?"

"This..."

A few days after Dong Zhuo handed the sword to Gu Yi.

Suddenly, at the Great Morning Meeting, the candidates for the new garrison commanders of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass were announced.

In this regard, everyone immediately exploded!

These two passes, even if their importance is not as good as before, are still two very important strategic strongholds.

According to Dong Zhuo's past practice.

This kind of important position.

Should be handed over to people of the Xiliang direct line to be responsible.

But now, it was actually handed over to Hu Zhen of the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction and Zhang Liao of the Bingzhou faction?

The people of the Xiliang direct line stared at each other collectively.

They didn't understand why such a thing happened.

They gathered around Hua Xiong, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and other high-level Xiliang officials, intending to ask for the truth.

But unfortunately, Hua Xiong and others didn't know the reason at all.

Looking at the people of the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction and the Bingzhou faction, their faces were all full of joy!

Whether it is Hu Zhen or Zhang Liao.

After being appointed as garrison commander.

Their positions will be greatly improved on the original basis!

These two were originally just captains.

But now, they have suddenly become miscellaneous generals.

Don't underestimate this miscellaneous general!

Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and others are also just miscellaneous generals now.

The only difference is that these four, as high-level Xiliang officials, hold more military power in their hands.

At the current stage of the court, the only prestigious general is Hua Xiong.

"Damn it!"

"How could the Chancellor make such a decision?"

"Look at the smug look on Lu Bu and Xu Rong's faces, it's hateful!"

In sharp contrast to the reaction of the Xiliang direct line.

Naturally, it is the people of the Bingzhou faction and the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction.

Especially Lu Bu and Xu Rong.

A rare smile appeared on the faces of the two.

Zhang Liao and Hu Zhen can be called the number two figures of their respective factions.

But before that, their positions were only captains, which seemed quite embarrassing.

Every time there was a high-level meeting of the Dong Zhuo army, Zhang Liao and Hu Zhen often didn't even have the qualifications to participate.

Even if they barely participated, their positions were usually in the most remote corners.

But now it's different!

Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass can be called the two portals of Luoyang.

Although Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, it doesn't mean that these two passes are not important.

If troops are sent to east of the pass in the future, Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass will become the front line!

Moreover, both of their positions have been promoted to miscellaneous generals, which is a real benefit.

In fact, if we talk about garrison commanders.

No one knows garrison commanders better than Zhang Liao!

Historically, Zhang Liao was the garrison commander of a certain place, leading 800 soldiers, and beat someone called Sun Shiwan until he cried and howled.

As for Hu Zhen.

Although his ability is definitely not as good as Zhang Liao.

But he is the number two figure of the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction.

He should get the position of a miscellaneous general.

The reaction of the three major factions in this Great Morning Meeting can be said to be distinct.

And Dong Zhuo didn't intend to explain too much about this.

Subsequently, he appointed his younger brother Dong Min as the Minister of Agriculture, becoming one of the Nine Ministers, responsible for staying in Luoyang.

But what kind of person Dong Min is, everyone knows in their hearts.

The character of this public can be called "weak and incompetent".

To put it bluntly, Dong Min is a mascot, and he basically has no military power in his hands.

But having him stay in Luoyang can be regarded as a symbol of Dong Zhuo himself.

After all, his status is high, and he is Dong Zhuo's own younger brother.

In the future, the military near Luoyang will basically be handed over to Zhang Liao and Hu Zhen to manage.

Administrative affairs are nominally handled by Dong Min.

In fact, they are handed over to the officials Dong Zhuo left behind to assist him.

Such an arrangement was naturally discussed by Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Gu Yi.

Of course.

The key role in this still has to be Gu Yi.

Slightly improving the official positions of the number two figures of the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction and the Bingzhou faction is also a necessary prerequisite before the formal execution of military reform!

Otherwise.

Those with high positions and power are all people of the Xiliang direct line, and military reform will naturally not have the desired effect.

And after the Great Morning Meeting dispersed.

Gu Yi returned to the mansion.

He originally planned to go to the Cai Mansion for a meal at noon, and flirt with Cai Zhaoji and Cai Zhenji by the way.

But he didn't expect that a few servants pulled a carriage of gifts and sent them to the gate of the Gu Mansion.

"Report to the Lord, I am the housekeeper of General Xu Rong's mansion." ===== CHAPTER 128 =====
