After Qian Shuo received Liu Hong's order, he felt passionately that"a scholar will die for his confidant", but he also became nervous.

Qian Shuo is self-aware. He knows that it will be more difficult to kill He Jin with only him alone.

Therefore, Qian Shuo went to find Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

Shi Chang waited in a room and shunned the others. Then Qian Shuo said:"Your Majesty wants to make the prince Xie the emperor. He has entrusted it to someone. He is determined to kill He Jin."

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, from Starting from Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he experienced great storms of power struggle.

They all know that these are extraordinary times.

If Liu Bian is allowed to succeed and He Jin takes full power, the eunuchs will certainly not be spared.

Think about Dou Wu and Chen Fan. It was because they wanted to kill the eunuchs that they aroused the eunuchs' murderous intentions.

At this time, Qian Shuo said again:"If His Majesty dies, we will not mourn him secretly. We will issue an edict to enter the palace, kill him, and then install the prince Xie as the emperor!"

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others looked at each other, and then Everyone nodded in agreement.

He Jin didn't know how to commend himself, so he united the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China to bring down the eunuchs. Naturally, the eunuchs were at loggerheads with He Jin.

Zhang Rang said:"This matter is related to our family and life, so we must not let the news leak out!"

……

After several years, Zhou Cheng plundered cattle, sheep, horses, grain, and people everywhere.

Now on the grassland, the population controlled by Zhou Cheng has reached nearly 900,000, including a large number of newly born people.

Captured women from foreign tribes were given as trophies to meritorious soldiers. Men had enough to eat and drink, and received food and meat every month. Naturally, they were willing to have more children and spend their energy on women.

In this way, the population and labor force were produced for Zhou Cheng's army.

Although this new population cannot provide much help to Zhou Cheng in a short period of time, there is huge potential for war in the future.

At this time, Zhou Cheng's army was finally regularized after reorganization.

The entire army is currently divided into two parts.

Part is an expeditionary force, part is a garrison.

Within the expeditionary force sequence: there are more than 2,400 people in the Death Battalion, more than 6,500 people in the Dawn Cavalry, more than 4,000 people in the Qingqi Battalion, more than 9,000 people in the Huben Battalion, more than 15,000 people in the Panshi Battalion, more than 12,000 people in the Shenwu Battalion, and more than 14,000 people in the Yongrui Battalion. There are 25,000 people in Huya camp and more than 5,000 people in Dangkou camp.

At the same time, the siege equipment force was officially separated from the Shenwu Battalion and organized into a formal force, the"Shenji Battalion".

There are more than 8,000 people in the Shenji Battalion, who are responsible for operating siege equipment and transporting siege equipment.

After expansion, the expeditionary force reached one hundred thousand.

The garrison is different.

There are currently nearly 70,000 garrison troops, but they are not equipped with much armor.

The main reason is that the output of armor is too small.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng also secretly made a large number of horseshoes and double stirrups, both of which required a large amount of iron.

Therefore, the infantry wore leather and cloth, thickened cloth armor sewn layer by layer, and their shields were mainly made of wood.

However, of the more than 70,000 people, half were cavalry and half were archers.

These cavalry can chase the enemy out of the earth building, and they can dismount and become infantry after entering the earth building.

When Zhou Cheng designed the garrison, he used the 'militia' as a template. They not only patrolled, but were also responsible for production in their spare time.

Of course, there was nothing that could be done about it. Manpower and material resources were limited, and Zhou Cheng was already resorting to militarism.

The weapons, armor, and iron ingots plundered over the years have all been used in the expeditionary force.

As long as the garrison can guard the earth buildings and have cavalry to regularly patrol the land and drive away foreigners, it will be enough.

Of course, even so, Zhou Cheng's territory is too big.

On the shores of Lake Baikal in the north, 5,000 people need to be stationed, and as the Ding Ling people recover, more people may be needed.

At the same time, 20,000 cavalry are also needed outside Shanggu and Yanmen to guard against the Xianbei people.

As for the Fuyu people, Goguryeo people, Rouran people near the east, and the Wusun people to the west, they will come back at any time, and they also need to garrison.

The gap in the garrison is still relatively large and requires the assistance of the main force.

However, no matter whether Zhou Cheng is ready or not, what is supposed to come will still come.

……

The news that Liu Hong was critically ill could not be concealed at all.

In Luoyang City, civil and military ministers visited He Jin's house more frequently.

At the same time, the tense and depressive atmosphere in Luoyang City became more prominent.

Like other families staying in Luoyang, Zhen passed the news on immediately.

March 189 AD.

On the grassland, war drums beat.

Along with the sound of war drums, the cavalry and infantry began to advance in formation.

Follow the beat of the drum, neatly and orderly.

The shields are like a wall of copper and iron, and there are many spears and lances, making the army even more majestic.

Zhou Cheng and Tian Chou were on horseback, watching the joint drills of Panshi Camp, Yongrui Camp, and Huya Camp.

At this time, Tian Chou had already put his hair into a bun and put on a hat.

Tian Chou was already over 20 years old. He was born in the same year as Zhou Cheng and was only a few months older than Zhou Cheng.

A month ago, Tian Chou had just returned to the Wu Zhongtian family. The Tian family held a crown ceremony for him and gave him the title Zitai.

Zhou Cheng said:"Zitai, the news from the Zhen family in Luoyang, the emperor is afraid that he is about to die."

Tian Chou said:"Chou congratulates the lord on the approaching day."

Although the kingdom's rebels failed to siege Chencang, they were defeated by Han Sui and others. People kill.

But when Liu Hong died, the throne became vacant.

Whether it is the prince debate or the prince association, they are still young. After they succeed to the throne, the eunuchs in the palace, relatives in the court, civil and military ministers, and the scholar-bureaucrat class in the world will inevitably compete for power, causing more troubles. Massive civil unrest.

At this time, Zhou Cheng dismounted and climbed onto the high platform. Facing the 100,000 troops and horses in front of him, his heart surged. Then he drew his sword and shouted loudly:"A man born in troubled times should carry a three-foot sword." To achieve unparalleled achievements, a certain person may come from a humble background, but he is determined to clear the world with his domineering power. In this life, he will definitely achieve his ambition, fearless of life and death, and have no regrets in his heart. I have sworn with this sword that if you follow me in the battle, you will be a wife and a son.."

The first two sentences of these words were spoken by Taishi Ci before his death, but the second half was changed by Zhou Cheng.

When Zhen Xian heard the words, he secretly wrote them down and prepared to spread them widely.

A qualified monarch has ambitions, clear goals, and the courage to fulfill his ambitions.

This is the personality charm of a monarch.

What's more, Zhou Cheng came from a humble background, had outstanding military strength, and was domineering in everything he did.

Although he is a martial artist, he is inspiring.

At this time, Dian Wei, Guan Hai and others shouted in unison:"I am willing to die for the Lord.""

"I am willing to die for the Lord!"

"I am willing to die for the Lord!"

"I am willing to die for the Lord!"

On the grassland, there are more than 100,000 troops and horses, the crowd is excited and shouting loudly.
