Chapter 65: Dong Zhuo goes out of the mountain
However, for Liu Zheng's cleverness, Cai Yao also took a few more looks. Just by virtue of such minutiae, it can be deduced that there is no real gold on the carriage.
But this is also to blame for not being careful enough, if she didn't pack some empty boxes, but put some stones in the boxes, maybe she wouldn't be discovered by Liu Zheng.
But that is also to save trouble, after all, the empty box is lighter, and it can speed up the journey, in order to rescue Cai Mao in Runan City as soon as possible, who knows that it will expose her plan.
Liu Zheng brought the three thousand catties of pig iron brought by Cai Yao to the blacksmith shop. With these 3,000 catties of pig iron, his need for pig iron has been temporarily alleviated, and it is not so urgent.
He gave his changes to the stirrups to the blacksmith, and asked the blacksmith to supervise the men and horses to build seven hundred stirrups first.
However, this will also take time, at least a week, to complete.
Liu Zheng can still afford to wait.
Just when Liu Zheng was still busy improving his strength and preparing to do a big job, the news that he killed Zhonglang General Zhu Jun finally reached Luoyang, the capital division.
The Luoyang Imperial Palace with blue tiles and red bricks.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”
Emperor Han Ling roared and shouted at the ministers in the main hall.
Angry hands are shaking.
"It's not a trivial thing like this, just a few yellow turban thieves can let them get away with it for so long, isn't that guy Zhu Jun very powerful, why was he killed by others, what did I raise him for!"
Zhu Jun was born in a poor family, when he was young, he was particularly filial piety and righteousness, and he was not greedy for money, and was respected in the township.
In Jiaozhou, 5,000 private soldiers defeated the Jiaozhou rebels, pacified Jiaozhou, and since then the marquis has been worshiped and entered the court as an official, these deeds, Emperor Han Ling still has a lot of impressions, but after hearing that Zhu Jun was actually killed by some thieves, Emperor Han Ling's impression of Zhu Jun was greatly reduced.
But even if it is greatly discounted, what can be done, Zhu Jun is already dead, even if Emperor Han Ling wants to take Zhu Jun back to ask for the crime, there is no way.
At this time, Emperor Han Ling was angry, and the ministers who lowered their heads were all standing below with cold faces, and no one dared to speak out at this time.
Only the great general He Jin stood up at this time to respond to Emperor Han Ling.
"Your Majesty, I said earlier that Zhu Jun has no ability, this time I went to exterminate this gang of anti-thieves, and he was actually besieged by the anti-thieves in Changshe for so long, if it wasn't for my Huangfu Song to support him, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago."
He Jin actually didn't have any friends with Zhu Jun, but at this time, he could only speak in the tone of Emperor Han Ling, and he couldn't say good things to Zhu Jun.
"What's the use of talking about this now, according to the battle report submitted, that Runan County was occupied by the Yellow Turban thieves again, and there is a new Daqu Marshal called Liu Zheng, what is this number one, is there such a person in the Yellow Turban Army?"
After reading the battle report, Emperor Ling of Han had some impressions of the name Liu Zheng.
He Jin had also read the battle report in advance, and he really didn't know much about this Liu Zheng, but Emperor Han Ling asked, and those of them who were courtiers always had to give Emperor Han Ling an answer.
"Back to Your Majesty, Huangfu Song Zhonglang previously exterminated the Yellow Turban Army's Daqu Shuai Bocai in Runan County before, then Liu Zheng is the remnant of Bocai, and now Bocai has died and has become the new Qu Shuai."
"I don't care who he is, anyway, I don't want to see him so free, send someone to kill him immediately!"
Emperor Han Ling angrily shouted at everyone present.
Everyone looked at each other, but they could only nod their heads in agreement.
He Jin was not impressed by Liu Zheng, but he had long wanted to change his own people to the core battlefield, so when he saw Emperor Han Ling say this, He Jin immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have someone I can recommend, and I should be able to exterminate this wave of Yellow Turban Army in Runan."
He Jin's words provoked Emperor Han Ling, who was a little interested, and his face looked better.
"Who is it, which Aiqing?"
"Hedong is too guarded by Dong Zhuo!"
"Dong Zhuo?"
He Jin pushed Dong Zhuo out, but Emperor Han Ling didn't have much influence on Dong Zhuo, frowned, and didn't understand.
He Jin seemed to see the meaning of Emperor Han Ling's expression, and immediately explained it to Emperor Han Ling.
"Dong Zhuo, a native of Longxi County, was originally an official of the county government, and later this person single-handedly broke the Huns, killed thousands of Huns, and was recommended by Duan Cheng to enter the imperial palace by the history of the state assassin, during the period of Emperor Huan, he also served as Yulin Lang, and later followed General Zhang Huan to pacify the rebellion in the three states of Youyou and Liang, and repelled the Qiang people to invade, and now this person is in Hedong, temporarily acting as the Taishou of Hedong."
He Jin gradually told Emperor Han Ling about Dong Zhuo's basic resume.
Dong Zhuo's promotion resume, but it is really glorious, it is completely killed on the battlefield, not only against the Xiongnu, but also the rebellion of the Sanzhou, or the rebellion of the Qiang people in the land of Sanfu, all of which Dong Zhuo fought with one knife and one shot.
The meritorious service made Dong Zhuo appreciated by General He Jin and accepted him as a confidant.
After listening to He Jin's description, Emperor Han Ling also had a basic understanding of Dong Zhuo, but he didn't mind what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, as long as he had the ability to command the army and be able to defeat those Yellow Turban thieves, it was enough.
"Okay, let you talk about this Dong Zhuo, take over the post of Zhu Jun's Zhonglang general, and crusade against those Yellow Turban Army in Runan!"
Emperor Ling's words became a holy decree, originally at this time, he should replace Lu Zhi to crusade against Dong Zhuo of the Yellow Turban Army, and replace the position of the dead Zhu Jun, so as to start directly from Hedong County to the south to crusade against Liu Zheng.
And Liu Zheng naturally didn't know what happened in the imperial court hundreds of miles away, and at this time, he was meeting with the Yellow Turban Army envoy who rushed over from Jizhou.
This is the messenger who came from Jizhou Julu City, and the matter of Liu Zheng killing Zhonglang General and pacifying Nanyang and Runan finally reached the ears of Jizhou Julu Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao was quite interested in such a figure in his army, and wanted to summon Liu Zheng in person, but Huangfu Song's soldiers and horses were uniting with Lu Zhi's army to attack Jizhou.
Zhang Jiao was overwhelmed and naturally couldn't pull away, so he could only send envoys to commend Liu Zheng's attack, so as to revive the morale of Runan and Yingchuan.
After all, the death of Yingchuan Daqu Shuai Bo before, which dealt a big blow to the forces of the Yellow Turban Army in these two places, and now that there is finally a Liu Zheng, Zhang Jiao naturally wants to reward him.
When Liu Zheng learned the news of the arrival of the envoy, he was quite surprised, but he has always been a figure of the Yellow Turban Army, although he can ignore this envoy, but now is not the time to turn his face with the Yellow Turban Army.
He still met with him.
