Chapter 423: Dynamics of the Parties (II)

At this time, he dared to continue to appoint Qin Wen, and this kind of courage may not be possessed even by Ming Jun, let alone Liu Hong, a recognized faint monarch?

Many loyalists thought that Liu Hong had changed his sex, and knelt down and shouted words such as 'Your Majesty is wise' and 'The Han has been saved'.

Han Palace, Weiyang Palace.

After a simple renovation, this palace, which has stood for more than 400 years, has not yet recovered the magnificence of the Han Dynasty, but it has also prospered a lot, and it can once again bear the weight of the palace.

Liu Hong, accompanied by Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, admired this ancient palace while walking in the harem, and only then would he let go of the troubles in his heart.

"After all, this Chang'an is still not as good as Luoyang, and I don't know if I will have a chance to return to Luoyang in this life." Liu Hong sighed lightly.

"Why does Your Majesty say such frustrating words, if even you lose confidence, then there is really no hope for the big man." Zhao Zhongdao.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Rang followed.

Liu Hong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and after thinking of Guiguzi's big plan, he couldn't help but regain his confidence.

"You two are right, I will never give up hope, and the Han will not die at my hands." Liu Hong said with a firm face.

"Father."

After hearing the shouts not far away, Liu Hong's face finally showed a smile, and when Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong saw Liu Hong showing such a smile, they immediately knew who was coming.

Liu Hong has a total of two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Liu Wei is not favored by Mu Ne, but the eldest daughter Liu Mu and the youngest son Liu Xie are the most favored.

Seeing Liu Mu trotting to the front and back, Liu Hong pretended to be unhappy and reprimanded: "Mu'er, you are a princess, you are so popular, how can you look like a princess." ”

Liu Mu naturally knew that his father was not really angry, so he spit out his tongue playfully, and then hugged Liu Hong's arm and said coquettishly: "People are here to thank my father, and you still train others." ”

"Xie Zhen?" Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Between our father and daughter, what is there to thank?" ”

"Father, my daughter knows, not only did you not take away General Qin Wen's military power, but also added him to the ranks."

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty proposed to seize Qin Wen's military power, only Princess Wannian, who was Qin Hao's fiancée, stood up to speak for Qin Wen, and Qin Wen was not only not robbed of military power but was also promoted.

"It's really a big girl, you haven't married a ghost yet, so you are looking at your husband's family like this, your father really loves you in vain." Liu Hong scolded with a smile.

"What's the matter, my daughter is just talking about things."

After Liu Mu hesitated again and again, he said with some twists: "Father, can you promise your daughter one thing?" ”

Liu Hong naturally knew what Liu Mu was thinking, and directly refused: "No." ”

"People haven't said it yet?" Liu Mu's eyes widened and he exhaled.

"What else can you do besides saving Qin Hao."

"Father, even if you can't save it, can you try diplomacy?"

Liu Mu came up with an idea self-righteously, but he didn't know that Qin Hao was captured from the beginning, and if Liu Hong didn't know, how could he continue to trust Qin Wen.

It is a matter of life and death for the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong naturally will not tell Liu Mu, but only prevaricates with a lame excuse.

Looking at his father who left in a hurry, Liu Mu stomped his feet angrily and said angrily: "Hmph, if you don't save me." But what to do? By the way, find a master. ”

As one of the three major commanders, Wang Yue has a lot of things to deal with, so it is naturally impossible to follow Liu behind the curtain every day.

Liu Mu directly broke into Wang Yue's office, and then said straight to the point: "Master, can you personally take action to rescue the champion Hou from Xiang Yu's hands?" ”

Wang Yue wiped the cold sweat on his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Xiang Yu is the number one fierce general in the world." ”

"Master, you're a sword master."

"The horses are in the midst of an army of 300,000." Wang Yue smiled bitterly.

"Master, you're a sword master."

"I ......"

Wang Yue was speechless for a moment, and there was no way to communicate with this kind of sister-in-law who was in love.

————

Luoyang.

"Father-in-law."

Dongfang Sheng respectfully handed Zhang Jiao a scroll of information, and Zhang Jiao suddenly sighed after spreading it out and looking at it.

"Qin Wen really refused, his son's life can't shake Qin Wen's loyalty, this person is respectable, cough cough ......"

Saying that, Zhang Jiao coughed violently, and even coughed up blood stains on the handkerchief, but in order not to worry his daughter, Zhang Jiao pretended to be calm and put away the handkerchief.

As soon as Qin Hao was captured, Zhang Jiao wrote several letters of persuasion to Qin Wen, but no matter how Zhang Jiao tempted and increased the weight, Qin Wen was not moved, and completely disregarded Qin Hao's life and death, and this also made Zhang Jiao completely dead to Qin Wen.

After that, Zhang Jiao took a series of measures, and his purpose was naturally only to force the Han to replace Qin Wen, of course, it was best to force Qin Wen to rebel.

But these tricks didn't succeed in the end, Qin Wen not only was not robbed of military power but was also promoted, which made Zhang Jiao speechless.

However, the unexpected joy was that under the rumor offensive of the Yellow Turban, the military spirit of the Han army was inevitably turbulent, and then Zhu Yuanzhang seized the opportunity to capture the two fortresses of Yiyang and Yewang one after another.

Now between Yongzhou and Sizhou, only the fortress of Hangu Pass remains, as long as Hangu Pass is broken, the Yellow Turban Army can drive straight into Chang'an and attack Chang'an directly.

But how can Hanya, which resists the Six Nations, be so easy to break?

After Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou reinforcements arrived, more than 300,000 Han troops were concentrated on the front line of Hangu Pass, which can be described as solid in addition to Hangu Tianbao.

If it was forced to break through, I don't know how many lives it would take to fill it, and Zhang Jiao would naturally not attack hard, so the 700,000 army and the 30 Han army confronted each other, and the war on the Eastern Front fell into a stalemate.

After Dongfang Sheng hesitated again and again, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Father-in-law, Qin Wen is unwilling to surrender, what should Qin Hao do?" ”

Looking at Diao Chan's face without a trace of flaws, Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "What, you want to intercede for him?" ”

When Dongfang Sheng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, my daughter just thinks that if Qin Hao can surrender, it will be more beneficial to my yellow scarf." ”

"Huh." Zhang Jiao laughed and said, "The third brother said in the letter that he used my position as the heir to sit on the bargaining chips to persuade Qin Hao to surrender and ask him to persuade Qin Wen to surrender, but Qin Hao refused. ”

"What?"

It is not difficult for Dongfang Sheng to understand why Qin Hao refused, what she really found difficult to understand was how Zhang Liang could have thought of making Qin Hao the emperor?

Dongfang Sheng didn't know Qin Hao's plan, but after hearing the news, he could probably guess that there must be a lot of hidden secrets.
