When they saw Liu Hong coming, they immediately stood up straight but looked down at the ground, for fear that if they raised their heads too high, His Majesty would misunderstand that they were disrespecting the royal dignity.
Liu Hong was very happy to see that everyone was humble and submissive.
“Hahaha… cough! cough!”
He started coughing after just a few laughs, and everyone was worried about his health.
"Your Majesty, you are ill. Please ask the imperial physician to see you."
"Your Majesty, the dragon's health is at stake. Please go down and rest first."
“…”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Even though you are ill, you are still so diligent in your work. You are truly a role model for us."
When everyone was concerned about Liu Hong's health, Fengyun was unique in highlighting Liu Hong's professionalism.
This was quite useful to Liu Hong.
"Hahaha, Lord Feng's words are still very convincing. What do you mean the dragon is ill and needs to see a doctor? I'm telling you, I don't need to. I'm in good health."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I was simply expressing my feelings."
Shameless! Shameless!
Who the hell is this guy?
Except for Cao Cao, most of the people present had never even seen Fengyun, so naturally they didn't know who Fengyun was.
They just felt that a great general of the Han Dynasty was actually telling lies with his eyes open, and what he said was righteous.
Everyone in the world knows that Liu Hong is extremely licentious and has a habit of plundering.
He can speak such insincere words. This guy is a disgrace to the military generals of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Hong said this and then talked about the main business of the day.
"Everyone, I asked you to come here today because I want to ask you if you want to become a disciple of the Emperor?"
"I am willing."
"Your humble servant is willing."
“…”
Since everyone present is here, there is definitely no one who objects.
The title of the emperor's disciple can intimidate many people.
Who in the world doesn’t want this?
Liu Hong was overjoyed.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, this time I want to set up a special unit directly under my command. So I found the eight of you, and now you will each form a Royal Guard."
When they heard that they were going to form their own army, everyone was overjoyed.
They are going to become generals.
"Your Majesty, we will definitely do our duty and live up to your high expectations."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will fight to the bitter end."
“…”
Everyone was eager to express their opinions, but Feng Yun was ingenious at this time. He did not rush to express his loyalty, but asked:
"Your Majesty, we will each form our own army this time, but we must choose a very unique name. How about I offer my humble opinion and choose one first?"
Liu Hong was in a good mood and was of course happy to hear it, so he said:
"Okay, my dear, tell me what it is."
Feng Yun already had a plan in mind, and immediately said boldly:
"We are gathering in Xiyuan, so how about we call ourselves the Eight Captains of Xiyuan?"
Fengyun's words were so powerful that they were deafening.
When Liu Hong heard it, he thought it was indeed a good idea.
It not only reflects their positions, but is also catchy, so they agreed immediately.
"That's a good name. I approve it. But you have to pay for the military expenses yourself."
Liu Hong has always been stingy, and Fengyun had expected this.
Although this title is insignificant compared to his position as a general, it is an additional title that can increase the number of personal soldiers. Why not take it?
He immediately accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.
In addition, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others also had no objections.
Money doesn't matter. What they want now is real power, and they will also accept orders and express gratitude.
However, Fengyun could see that there was someone here who wanted to lead the troops but didn't want to pay the money.
Fengyun smiled slightly and had an idea. He could go find him later.
Then Liu Hong continued:
"Well, since everyone agrees, then this matter has been happily decided. Also, since we have become the Eight Captains of Xiyuan, there must be a leader and followers. Listen carefully."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
"From today on, we will establish the Eight Commanderies of Xiyuan, with the following as the chief commanders:
The captain of the upper army——Xiao Huangmen·Jian Shuo,
The deputy generals are:
The captain of the Central Army - General of the Tiger Guards, Fengyun,
From will be:
Lower Army Captain - Cavalry Captain Yuan Shao,
Commander of the Army - Counselor Cao Cao,
Auxiliary Army Left Colonel - Zhao Rong,
Right Colonel of the Auxiliary Army - Feng Fang,
Left Colonel - Xia Mou, the Imperial Counselor
Right Colonel－－－－Chun Yuqiong.
So ordered! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone said in unison again.
When Liu Hong called out Fengyun's name, Zhang Rang winked at Fengyun.
Of course, he wanted to take credit for it. He had fought hard for it, otherwise Fengyun would not have been the deputy general.
Fengyun of course wanted to express his gratitude and bowed to him.
No one knows who was kicked out of the list of eight captains this time, and Fengyun doesn't care.
He knew that some of them must be in the same group, and the person he wanted to win over this time was the main general Jian Shuo.
Fengyun knew that these eunuchs loved money like their lives, and it was impossible to get them to give him money.
So why doesn't he take this opportunity to help him?
After Liu Hong issued the imperial edict, he began to give orders.
This time it was something he wanted very rarely, so he took it very seriously.
"This time, I grant you the privilege of selecting men from any of the Han armies. Each of you will command 5,000 men, and I command you to train an elite force within six months."
"Yes! We obey your order."
