Zhao Yun felt that what the emperor needed was undoubtedly military power, and it was unquestionable military power for the guards and even the entire Wei army.

And I am the biggest obstacle in the middle.

That's why, when he became the general of the Guard, he took action directly.

Zhao Yun guessed that what the new emperor needed was the power held by his position.

The new emperor was unwilling to hand over power, but he had to reward himself in this way because he made great contributions.

Therefore, you can only have name but not actual power.

Zhao Yun understood everything, took the initiative to give in, stayed silent, and ignored the matters of the Guards. He just symbolically swore his existence and did not do anything practical.

Guo Jin seized this opportunity and began to take the initiative to extend his hand into the guards.

When the guards found that they could not get any instructions from Zhao Yun, they were puzzled, but when they got the emperor's direct instructions through the green channel, they thought that this was actually not bad.

Instead of discussing with Zhao Yun and having to confirm with the emperor, it is better to confirm with the emperor directly.

Anyway, Zhao Yun couldn't find him, and he felt that he was a bit passive and lazy, so he discussed things directly with the emperor. How easy is it to be done in one step?

Those in charge of the guards had this idea.

Therefore, Guo Jin further determined the existence and significance of the green channel. He called on the four generals and logistics staff to discuss with himself directly through the green channel whenever they encountered any problems.

There is no need to find the general. The general is very tired and needs rest.

I'm not tired, I don't need to rest.

They all come to me.

Guo Jin wanted to undermine Zhao Yun and turn the General of the Guard into a pure honorary position, so that this honorary position can no longer affect the army, but can only exist symbolically, and then act as a firefighter when necessary.

This trend appeared when Zhao Yun went out to war.

Now, Zhao Yun’s voluntary retreat has accelerated this trend.

The existence of the emperor gradually replaced the meaning of the existence of the general. Everything can be contacted through the green channel. Then it is no longer necessary to do so.

What's more, the general himself rarely appears in the army.

So the power possessed by the position of General was actually controlled by Guo Jin through the green channel.

In a sense, Zhao Yun's political wisdom is far superior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but his desire for power is far lower than that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

What an excellent general.

It's nothing more than Guo Peng likes him so much.

Guo Jin thinks so.

However, Guo Jin's desire for power is not weaker than that of Guo. At the time of the handover of the throne, Zhao Yun must have the real power of the guards, otherwise he will not eat well and sleep well.

Now the establishment of the green channel and Zhao Yun's active retreat have actually determined the result of Guo Jin's victory over Zhao Yun, and Guo Jin has become the actual [General of the Guard].

Zhao Yun took the initiative to enter a semi-retirement state.

Guo Jin admired Zhao Yun's courage and political wisdom very much, so he did not intend to further trouble Zhao Yun, but planned to let Zhao Yun spend his old age peacefully, and it was a little more comfortable than Cao Ren.

Because Zhao Yun still has a position, if something happens, Zhao Yun can still take charge of the battle.

It’s just that Zhao Yun cannot have actual power in daily life.

Guo Jin's plan to seize power was initially successful, and his next goal was to undermine the four generals of the Guard.

The four generals of the Guard were also the positions of permanent generals in the Wei army. The positions of permanent generals had very great power and could not be changed at will.

One Zhao Yun is easy to deal with, but four permanent generals are difficult to deal with.

Although the generals of the Guards have no possibility of threatening the government, these four generals can have them.

Once the situation in the court changes, the four generals will inevitably become the roles that all forces are competing to win over, and now they have the background of all forces.

Cao Chun, Li Dian, Guo Dong, Xiahou Yuan.

Guo Dong naturally listened to him because he was his own person and was very loyal to Guo.

Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan represent the Cao family and the other represents the Xiahou family. In some cases, the two families can even form a strategic alliance.

Li Dian is free from the outside, and actually represents the military forces outside the royal family and the kin general group. They are third-party forces and are also forces that are very likely to be attracted if something happens.

They each have represented different interest groups.

When Guo Peng was still there, of course they all listened to Guo Peng.

No matter what strange forces behind it need representatives, Guo Peng gave them the order and asked them to hand over the military power, would they still dare to have something to say?

Guo Jin does not have such prestige now, so the power groups behind them can actually be used as a lie. If this possibility is not eliminated, the problem will be huge.

This position of permanent general who can concentrate its strength must be lifted from real power.

At most, the existence of the lieutenant can only be allowed.

There are too many lieutenants, hundreds of lieutenants, and at least hundreds of lieutenants. Let the interest groups fight for it, and see how many they can stand on their side to help them do their business.

Moreover, if there are too many people, there are many thoughts, which are complicated and chaotic, and it is difficult to control. Each has its own needs and ideas. How can we influence the court through them?

If the four generals only win two, they will have the possibility of shaking the political situation of the court. Even if they are in opposition, the outcome will not be known.

Imagine that one day in the future, the imperial court will encounter political struggles and the emperor will not observe it. The four generals are attracted by a powerful minister, or two of the four generals will be attracted. Then the powerful minister will actually have the possibility of dominating the government and the emperor will be in danger.

If the emperor cannot fully control these four people, it will easily lead to military power loss and powerful ministers being born, thus threatening the centralization of the Wei Empire.

So this may be something that Guo Jin cannot accept.

The four generals cannot exist, but they cannot become permanent generals. They must become the same honorary position as the general of the Guards, and the real power cannot be handed over to them.

In the army, the chief commander should be the main commander. In daily life, only the chief commander can lead the troops, and there should not be a higher position to lead the troops in the guards.

There is no such level as the General of the Central Army in the Wei army.

Or there were, in times of troubled times, but when Guo Peng's army evolved from the nominal Han army to the Wei army, there was no such level as the General of the Central Army.

He jumped directly from the captain to the general.

This is Guo Peng's skill in controlling the army. Try to reduce the level of the army and reduce the middle part, which can further highlight the authority of the supreme ruler, facilitate leadership, and enhance the presence of the supreme ruler.

It can be said that Guo Peng was also laying the foundation for Guo Jin's future actions at that time.

Unlike the Wei army, the Han army also implemented the principle of employing people in a low and powerful manner in terms of system.

Whether the power is heavy or not, what is important is that the position cannot be high.

The higher the position, the more troublesome it is to clean up, and the lower the position is. Even if you have great power, it is easy to clean up. This is the emperor's mind.

Position and weight are definitely a good method.

Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, General Zhonglang was the highest position as the general of commanding soldiers.

How high can a group of generals have the status of a high-ranking general?

When he was attacking the Yellow Turban Army, Lu Zhi led the troops as the General of the North and won the victory. After the victory, he was very easily removed from his post and became the Grand Marshal.

If you want to change to a senior military post, you can try it?

Compared with the generals, Generals of the Western Han Dynasty, Generals of the Cavalry and Generals of the Cavalry, Generals of the Zhonglang are typical of low-level and low-level weight. They are easy to appoint and withdrawal, and they cannot struggle.

Therefore, Guo Jin felt that after he fully grasped the Guards and further grasped the military power, it was necessary to change the military rank system established by Guo Peng.

After the founding veterans died one after another, the general's honor could not be given casually.

Moreover, the generals who went on the expedition should not give a general title casually, but should give a general, a general in the southeast, west and northeast, or a powerful title, just like the title given to the generals under Guo Peng when he founded the army in the early days.

We must implement the method of employing people with low positions and weight. If we are not a veteran, we must never give the general the title.

Guo Peng came from a chaotic era, and the military rank established to take over the chaotic era when the General's No. 1 is not a chaotic era when the General's No. 1 is extremely valuable.

But after the chaotic times came, the general's status and power were too high, which did not meet the requirements of the emperor to control military power in peacetime.

Guo Jin felt that it was necessary to change this trend.

Not only the military, but also the political circles. We will thoroughly implement the law of using people with low status and high power that Guo Peng has always implemented, and constantly use people with low status but great power to replace people with successful and high power, so as to achieve a dynamic balance between politics and the military.

Guo Jin remembered the dynamic balance concept that Guo Peng told him, and he must not let a certain department move stagnantly, so soon, the department will become corrupt.

We must move, keep moving, and keep tossing, so that they have no comfort zone to toss some of the things that are not.

If your own technique is not mature enough, then use this action to exercise this technique. If you are more mature, you will be able to do more things in the future.

Guo Jin secretly made up his mind.

Then ordered a competition for middle-level officers in the army.

Under the banner of "Testing an officer is testing the army", we called on all the captains of the entire guards, middle and lower-level officers at the level of the Sima of the Army, and the powerful soldiers who had accumulated more than five beheaded to participate in this competition.

The competition will be held in multiple projects, each person will register for up to five projects. Those who win the top three will receive rewards, and those who get the first place will receive rewards even more.

The news spread, and the middle and lower-level officers of the entire Guard and the soldiers who had accumulated more than five beheaded were a little confused.

They don't know what this means.
