After Zheng Pu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly curse.

Of course!

He recommended Zhang Yi to serve in order to seize the opportunity to separate his own troops. The biggest reason was what he had thought about when he came to Hanzhong - to try his best to push the achievements of his peers Guan Xing and Jiang Wei so that they would have more opportunities to show their abilities.

.To prevent yourself from showing off in the forest, or to attract the Prime Minister’s attention.

This was also one of the reasons why he planned to recommend Jiang Wei as the general after the attack.

After all, in the plan, Jiang Wei had to oversee more than 10,000 people on his own!

Such a large number of soldiers and horses, among the generals of the Han Dynasty, only Wei Yan and Wu Yi had this honor, and it was too much for Jiang Wei, who had little qualifications now.

"Haha~~~"

After a few dry laughs, Zheng Pu responded with surprise, "Pu did not dare to hide it from the Prime Minister and recommended Zhang Boqi instead of Brother Xiuran. He wanted to ask the Prime Minister for permission to let Brother Xiuran lead his headquarters and go with Pu to attack Zuli County.

.”

Let Liu Yin also lead the army to Zuli County?

The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows slightly.

His eyes fell on Zheng Pu in surprise for a moment, and then he asked aloud, "What Zijin means is that if Jiang Boyue succeeds in attacking the Yinsai around the back, Liu Xiuran will be stationed there?" But the words

As soon as it fell, before Zheng Pu could reply, the prime minister suddenly raised his palms and said, "Hey! I know! Zi Jin wants to appoint Zhang Wenrong as the governor general!"

It has to be said that few people can match the Prime Minister's wisdom.

In a moment, Zheng Pu's intention was analyzed accurately.

Indeed, Zheng Pu just wanted to advise Zhang Bao to be appointed as the governor general.

Zhang Bao's identity was that he was a descendant of the founding emperor and a relative, so he was destined to become Emperor Liu Chan's military supporter in the future.

Just thinking about the future of Emperor Liu Chan is enough for him to accumulate meritorious service, promotion, and control the authority in the military as soon as possible.

After all, the emperor Liu Chan, who grew up in the deep palace, is not the late emperor Liu Bei who always attends every battle!

It has not established enough prestige in the hearts of many generals and soldiers in the army; it is also impossible to have the opportunity to personally conquer and establish prestige.

Under such circumstances, allowing Zhang Bao to take control of the military in the future will be a preparation for long-term peace and stability.

Since the last years of Emperor Ling's reign in the Han Dynasty, there have been examples of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others relying on military power to act recklessly and disobediently, and they have become examples for countless people in the world to follow.

The cohesion of today's Han Dynasty is mainly due to the legacy of the late emperor Liu Bei.

But no matter how generous the legacy is, it will eventually be used up one day.

For example, after all the old officials promoted by the late Emperor Liu Bei have withered away, no one dares to say that others will not be dissatisfied after taking control of the military.

Just like the Yuan family of Runan who had four generations and three princes in the past.

When it comes to the generation of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one is claiming to be emperor, and the other wants to establish a new emperor!

Only by being prepared can you avoid trouble.

It’s better to plan ahead for things that can be planned.

Naturally, the Prime Minister also knows this.

Previously, Zhang Bao was appointed as the Cavalry Superintendent because there were only a few good cavalrymen in the Han Dynasty and Zhang Bao's bravery was unparalleled.

But now that the armored cavalry has begun to take shape, the successors can only use the gourd's plan to show the prowess of the armored cavalry in rushing into the formation. It would be a waste of talent to let Zhang Bao control hundreds of cavalry.

Moreover, the army led by Liu Yin was originally recruited by Zhang Bao.

There is nothing wrong with letting Liu Yin return to Zhang Bao's control.

"Nothing can be hidden from the Prime Minister."

With a slight smile and a compliment, Zheng Pu made a solemn look, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, Brother Wenrong is Pu's wife's brother, and he has a distinguished status. If he continues to be controlled by Pu, Pu will not be at ease."

"Um"

The Prime Minister nodded and raised his eyebrows slightly.

I also sighed in my heart: This guy already knows how to balance things!

There is no intention to fight for power!

That’s commendable!

However, if Zhang Bao were to become the commander-in-chief now, he would simply be commanding Liu Yin's army, and his strength would not be enough.

The only option is to allocate the remnant troops that originally belonged to Li Yan and the Mi Wei tribe stationed in Longyou to Zhang Bao's command, so that he can gather five to six thousand cavalry.

But this will bring new problems.

Zheng Pu was separated from Zhang Yi's tribe. Which troops should be dispatched to make up for the lack of troops in his headquarters?

Is it possible that Zheng Pu, who was the first among the younger generals of the Han Dynasty to be promoted to the rank of general and had the reputation of being "invincible in a hundred battles", had less than 3,000 troops in his army?

In an instant, the prime minister rejected this idea.

This time, he specially recalled Zheng Pu back to Hanzhong County and promoted him to the top. He originally wanted to use his reputation as a good fighter to dilute the negative impact of Li Yan's defeat.

How can he reduce the strength of his headquarters?

If the soldiers were aroused to suspect that the imperial court had reduced Zheng Pu's troops because the rewards and punishments were unclear, then it would be putting the cart before the horse.

"There is nothing wrong with letting Wen Rong take over the post of governor."

The prime minister, who was full of thoughts, slowly said, "But the current situation is still too early. After this battle is over, I will ask the court to record his merits and confer him with the post. However, what Zijin advised,

Let Liu Xiuran lead the army to attack Zuli County, but it can be done. Well, by then, he will be under your control for the time being."

After saying this, without waiting for Zheng Pu to say anything, the Prime Minister stood up from the case and said, "Everything has been decided briefly, and the remaining details will be decided at another time according to the time. I am tired, so I will go and rest first, and Zijin can take care of himself."
