Ruoyang, in the middle of the palace city.

"Your Majesty, this is a recital sent by Runan!" A middle-aged eunuch walked into a royal garden of the palace with small steps, holding some recitals respectfully in both hands.

"Runan?"

In the imperial garden, a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe stood in the pavilion outside the flowers, he didn't even look at these books when he heard this, but just smiled coldly and said: "A group of useless things, it's been nearly half a year, and I can't even clean up some of the remnants of the yellow scarf, what do I want them to do!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs knelt down one after another.

"Get up!"

The man in the Ming and Huang dragon robe waved his hand and said to this subordinate: "Father Shang stays, and you and the others will be withdrawn from me!" ”

"No!"

The palace maids and the little eunuchs did not raise their heads, and hurriedly turned their backs and walked out of the imperial garden.

"Father Shang, what did I do wrong, why are so many thieves in the world plotting against my country!" This man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe is the son of today, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, it's not your fault, Your Majesty has been sleepless all night for government affairs, exhausted and worried, it's they who are not satisfied, and they are extremely evil!" The middle-aged eunuch bowed down and replied, "One day, the old slave will exterminate their nine clans and get rid of the thieves for Your Majesty!" ”

"If everyone in the court is so loyal to you, why should I worry about this thief!"

Liu Hong picked up the notebook, just glanced at it a few times, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Hmph, Runan guards Yuan Yin's recital, asks for food and grass, and wants reinforcements, they really don't know anything when I do, it's really urgent, I let them try if my butcher's knife is sharp!" ”

"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!"

The middle-aged eunuch said: "The Yuan family is the third prince of the fourth world, the disciples are all over the world, and they monopolize half of the Shilin country, if you move without permission, it will inevitably cause the court to disrupt you!" ”

"I'm forbearing!"

Liu Hong took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "How is the preparation for the construction of the eighth camp in the West Garden?" ”

"The eight captains have begun to recruit soldiers, and they will be in camp in a few days, and Your Majesty can parade in the West Garden in October!" The middle-aged eunuch said in a deep voice.

"Among the captains, are there any generals?"

"Captain Bao Hong is quite talented, he once quelled the rebellious army in Liangzhou in the past, he was brave and resolute, and he was quite good at fighting!" The middle-aged eunuch pondered for a moment before speaking.

"What do you mean if I let him lead his troops to Runan to supervise the battle?"

When Liu Hong heard this, he did not doubt that he had absolute trust in Zhang Rang, the closest person around him, he put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty is worried about the situation in Runan?" The middle-aged eunuch frowned.

"The situation on the Hedong side has been stabilized, although Dong Zhongying is a little reckless, but also heroic, Baibo Yellow Turban has been blocked back to the West River, it is rumored that the thief leader Guo Tai was seriously injured by Dong Zhongying, life and death do not know, lose the main general, will be torn apart, difficult to become a big weapon, there is no threat to the imperial court, now only Runan and Montenegro Yellow Turban Army makes me worried, although the Yellow Turban of Montenegro is strong, but does not occupy the land of the county, shrinking in the Black Mountain, the thief Zhang Yan is also quite knowledgeable, although he holds the military power, But secretly still send people to the court to show loyalty, we can slowly try it, but the situation in Runan is constantly festering, this big county in the world has fallen most of the county, Runan Yuan is even more indulgent anti-thief rebellion, in order to secretly expand the army, if the situation continues to fester, I am afraid it will cause chaos in the world, must be prevented! ”

Liu Hong said softly.

He is the emperor, even if he, the emperor, is a faint monarch who listens to eunuchs in the eyes of many people, but he understands in his heart that any decision he makes is made in the midst of difficulties, for the sake of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that you can wait, at least let them consume the strength of the Runan Yuan clan!" The middle-aged eunuch said.

"That's what I said, then wait until after the parade, let's talk about it!"

Liu Hong thought for a while and said.

He thought for a while, took out a playbook from his long sleeves, handed it to the middle-aged eunuch, and said, "This is a playbook brought up by Zongzheng Liu Yan, what do you think?" ”

"This person is anti-willing!" The middle-aged eunuch was furious.

"Why?"

"He proposed to remove the assassin history, establish the state pastoral position, shepherd a state, and lead the government affairs of a state, isn't it a matter of separation!" The middle-aged eunuch said coldly.

"But what he said is right, in today's world, officials everywhere are already rotten, corrupt, blasphemous, prevalent in counties, and even many assassins have lost the responsibility of supervising county and county officials.

Liu Hong said in a deep voice: "After all, the clan is the son of the Liu family, if I can use the talents of the clan to calm the chaos in the world, I can also be regarded as a meritorious achievement for the Han court, worthy of the ancestors!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"I have made a decision on this matter, but someone will oppose it, you will carry it for me!"

"No!"

When the middle-aged eunuch heard this, he didn't say anything.

"In addition, the situation in Runan must be closely watched, and these yellow turbans must not be allowed to grow stronger, it is really not good, mobilize the soldiers of the West Garden, and go south to suppress the thieves!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged eunuch nodded.

Liu Hong looked up at the blue sky and said faintly: "

**************************************

Gepo is a township, Gepo Township is located in the north of the west of Shangcai County, the mountains and rivers alternate, surrounded by the water of the Ru River lingering, the north is a continuous mountain standing, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is a natural camp foothold.

Since the Yellow Turban Army raised the banner of rebellion from here in April, and captured the city one after another, most of the looted wealth has been transported here, and the land here has become the belly of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the township, there is a majestic mansion standing.

This mansion is nine in and nine out, covering an area of at least fifty or sixty acres, it was originally the ancestral home of the Ge family, the largest family in Gepo Township, but after Gong Du led his troops to capture here, the bloodied Ge family took this mansion as their own and became the command center of the Gong Capital Department of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Where is the Nanyang Army now?"

In the main hall, the middle-aged man was wearing battle armor, tall and thin, his eyes were as sharp as a cold eagle, staring at a battle map and asking coldly.

He is Gong Du.

One of the commanders of Runan Qu, and also the most powerful one among the Yellow Turban Army in Runan.

"Report to the commander of Qu, their vanguard army has pulled out our camp in Qingshui Township, less than twenty miles away from us, and the main force, closely behind, will soon be able to approach in front of my Yuanmen!" A scribe flipped through the scout records and replied.

"It's coming so fast!"

Gong Du smiled coldly: "Vanguard Army, is it a dancing Yin soldier?" ”

"It's the banner of the Yin Dancing Soldiers!"

"The letter sent back by Wei Tong said that Zhang Chuannai, the lieutenant of Wuyin County, was Mushan, the fierce general of the Nanyang Yellow Turban in the past, and you think this matter is true!"

"Qu Shuai, emptiness doesn't come to the wind, I'm afraid this matter is not far from ten!"

A brigade commander arched his hand and said: "The Wuyin soldiers are quite fierce, with thousands of soldiers and horses, not only eating Wei Tong's nearly 10,000 main forces, but also forcing Yu Guang and Ye Fang's two battalions to retreat, and in less than ten days, they can approach Ge Po. ”

"Makiyama!"

Gong Du's eyes burst with a gleam: "A certain family didn't expect that he couldn't starve to death in the winter of last year, but let him vote for the imperial court, this is indeed a fierce general, it's a pity!" ”

Last year, Makiyama sent an envoy to borrow food, which in his opinion was obviously beyond his means.

The Nanyang Yellow Turban in the past, he still has a little bit in his eyes.

But now, it's just a rogue, how can he put more than a hundred young people in the pasture mountains in his eyes, even if there is food, he won't lend them anything, the messenger is still nagging, he wants to kill people when he is angry.

In the end, this person was cut off by the wrist and thrown into the mass grave, and it is estimated that he will not survive.

"Qu Shuai, Mushan's fang must hate us, and we must guard against it!" A scribe walked up and said persuadingly: "He now has tens of thousands of Nanyang troops behind him, once the soldiers come to Gepo, it will be a bloody battle!" ”

"Fearless!"

Gong Du said confidently: "He is just one person, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanyang, they are a group of useless people, they can't help us, let's not take the initiative, retain strength, and wait for the opportunity!" ”

"Waiting for an opportunity?"

The generals were puzzled.

"As long as we wait, when the soldiers and horses in the north arrive, and the time has come for the inside and outside to merge, we will take the entire Runan in one fell swoop, go straight to Nanyang, go east to Jiujiang, determine the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, and then establish the power of my Yellow Turban!"

Gong Du's eyes burst with a glint of ambition.
