It was clear that Dong Zhuo was ineffective in fighting, lost to Liu Zheng, and was killed by Liu Zheng more than 10,000 people. At this time, He Jin understated Dong Zhuo as going to assist Huangfu Song against the first horn of the Jizhou gold thief.

This greatly resolved Dong Zhuo's ineffective combat in front of Emperor Han Ling and other factors, and reduced Emperor Han Ling's incompetence against Dong Zhuo a lot.

After Emperor Han Ling heard He Jin's words, he was not as angry as at the beginning, but hurriedly asked He Jin about the situation in Jizhou.

"He Jin Aiqing, what is the situation in Jizhou? Can the thief's first horn be subdued? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the battle situation in Jizhou has been very advantageous for my Han, the three major lieutenants will besiege that horn together, the thief is invincible, and he has to ask for help everywhere, the Yellow Turban thieves in Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places have gathered in Jizhou, and it only takes some time to clear all the nests of the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou, and it is not a matter of worry to a Liu Zheng in the time zone."

He Jin's words made Emperor Han Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, look a little better, but Liu Zheng in front of him was always a threat.

"The affairs of Jizhou, although it seems to be stable, but now Liu Zheng has hit the land of Gyeonggi, he has 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if it is not handled well, once the tiger prison is broken, it can go straight to Luoyang City, and then it will be bad!"

After all, Emperor Lao'er was still worried that his life would be threatened, so he was still very concerned about Liu Zheng's problem.

The ministers present were silent for a while, and at this time, they all knew that if anyone spoke up, they would definitely be sent by Emperor Lao'er to deal with Liu Zheng.

It's okay to deal with Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng defeated Dong Zhuo some time ago, beat Dong Zhuo with 20,000 horses, and suffered heavy losses, and they have all heard the news.

They all knew that Liu Zheng was powerful, so they naturally didn't dare to fight Liu Zheng easily.

After all, those who can fight are all fighting outside, and the rest of these people above the court are a group of civil servants, or old and weak Confucian scholars.

It's unlikely that they will go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and it's okay to use their mouths, but if they really put on their armor and go into battle, they can't do it.

Only by recommending the county guards in various places to form new soldiers and horses to delay Liu Zheng can they think of it.

But in fact, there are not too many soldiers and horses in various places, and the imperial court at this time has not yet implemented the state pastoral system, and the local government has no military power, only management power, and the self-control ability is not strong enough, so it cannot raise too many soldiers and horses.

In the event of war, it can only be recruited temporarily, and the number of county soldiers recruited in the original county generally does not exceed 5,000.

If you want to rely on the Taishou to stop these Yellow Turban Army, it is quite difficult, and not every Taishou has the strength of Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, the newly recruited soldiers and horses also need a lot of money, and with the character of Emperor Han Ling, who is a door-slamming emperor, he will not give too much money and food.

Therefore, it is impossible for Taishou to recruit many people in a short period of time, and naturally it is impossible to block the attack of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.

No one opened his mouth to answer Emperor Han Ling's words, and only He Jin continued to stand up and write to Emperor Han Ling again.

"Your Majesty, if you want to solve the current problem, I am afraid that the only way to deal with Zhang Jiao at this time is to transfer back one of the three major lieutenant generals who are dealing with Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, first to eliminate Liu Zheng, and then to deal with Zhang Jiao."

"That's okay, then let Dong Zhuo continue to come back to deal with Liu Zheng, and at the same time let Hexi Taishou and Henan Taishou assist together to try to eliminate Liu Zheng's men and horses outside the Tiger Prison Pass."

Emperor Han Ling didn't want to spend too much energy on this matter, so he quickly agreed to He Jin.

But He Jin didn't want it to end like this.

Immediately, he continued to admonish Emperor Han Ling again.

"Your Majesty, send Dong Zhuo back, I don't think this is appropriate, in my opinion, Lu Zhi should be sent back to deal with Liu Zheng."

"Why? Isn't Dong Zhuo the person you recommend? Why didn't you let him deal with Liu Zheng at this time? ”

"Your Majesty, most of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are cavalry, and cavalry has a strong threat on the battlefield, for example, in Jizhou, it can deter Zhang Jiao to a greater extent, and Lu Zhi has been fighting against Zhang Jiao in Jizhou for so long, but he has not succeeded, and he can't attack for a long time, I think he can't have any advantage in the battle with Zhang Jiao, so it's better to switch the two of them, maybe it can have a miraculous effect."

He Jin said this, in fact, he was not excusing Dong Zhuo at all, but he knew that Liu Zheng's strength was very strong, and even Dong Zhuo couldn't beat him, and if he let Dong Zhuo continue to pass, he would just give Liu Zheng a head.

In case Dong Zhuo really loses to Liu Zheng and is beheaded by Liu Zheng, then He Jin will also be implicated and therefore punished.

On the contrary, it is better to let Lu Zhi pass, no matter what, as long as Lu Zhi passes, no matter what the victory or defeat is, it will be beneficial to He Jin, after all, he and Lu Zhi have political disagreements.

If Lu Zhi defeated Liu Zheng, he just solved a political enemy with Liu Zheng's hand, and if Lu Zhi defeated Liu Zheng, then he also had the credit of recommendation, and He Jin did not suffer from it.

After Emperor Han Ling heard He Jin's words, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what he said was the same thing.

did not refute He Jin's opinion.

"Okay, that's it, let's do it."

At the same time in Changshan County, Jizhou.

In the big tent of the official army, the three major lieutenants will gather here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the information that the remnants of the Runan Yellow Turban Party have broken through Hongnong County, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the Tiger Prison Pass, what do you think of this matter?"

Huangfu Song took the information in his hand and looked at Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo in the big tent, and his eyes finally stayed on Dong Zhuo's body.

After all, this matter is mainly because of Dong Zhuo, and the purpose of Dong Zhuo's replacement of Zhu Jun is to exterminate the Yellow Turban remnants in Runan County.

But now Dong Zhuo not only did not exterminate those Yellow Turban remnants, but allowed these Yellow Turban remnants in Runan to be plundered and burned everywhere.

The biggest responsibility for this whole thing lies with Dong Zhuo, so Huangfu Song wants to hear Dong Zhuo's opinion.

After Dong Zhuo heard the news, his face was quite embarrassed, although he also knew that the matter was caused by him, but now his soldiers and horses were only a few thousand, and it was impossible to fight against Liu Zheng's 50,000 army, so he had to refuse.

"Two, the strength of the Yellow Turban Thief in Runan is not trivial, in my opinion, the cunning Liu Zheng is far more powerful than the thief's first horn, I fought a few battles with him in Runan before, and they were all defeated by the other party, so I want to meet the two to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thief in Jizhou first, and then return to Runan, and clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban."

"Are those Yellow Turban remnants in Runan really as powerful as you say? When I was competing with Bocai in Runan, I didn't find such a powerful character. ”
