Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and other ten permanent attendants added officials to the knighthood, making the eunuchs more and more arrogant and unscrupulous.

Liu Tao, Marquis of Zhongling, and Chen Tan, the predecessor of Situ, were persecuted to death by eunuchs one after another, which also shows that the eunuch power has won the favor of Emperor Liu Hong, and it has still reached the point of covering the sky with one hand.

The forces of foreign relatives led by He Jin are also slightly inferior in comparison.

For a long time, the tripartite power of eunuchs, relatives and clans has always maintained a delicate balance, but today, the balance of power has gradually tilted in favor of eunuchs.

This is something that no one wants to see.

He Jin realized that the threat of eunuchs was getting bigger and bigger, so he took advantage of the deaths of Liu Tao and Chen Tan to persuade the courtiers of the Han court to continue to fight against the eunuchs.

The courtiers of the Han court have long been dissatisfied with the emperor's excessive favor of the eunuchs, and the eunuchs have always been like fire and water, and the deaths of Liu Tao and Chen Tan seem to add fuel to the fire, making the relationship between the two sides, which is already incompatible, worsen more and more.

After the deaths of Chen Tan and Liu Tao, the successive pieces of music rushed to the hands of the Han courtiers one after another like a rain of arrows on the battlefield, fell on the desk of Emperor Liu Hong, and then ...... Disappear off the face of the earth.

The cries of the courtiers of the Han court did not receive any response.

In fact, the courtiers should be glad that they did not get a reply, because once they get a reply, it means that a catastrophe is coming.

The current emperor Liu Hong is immersed in the crazy accumulation of wealth, and he does not care about the affairs of the court, after all, he is a small landlord, and the unsatisfactory past makes Liu Hong crazy after wearing the crown.

Liu Hong is like Qin II hundreds of years ago, like a puppet, and most of the eunuchs are acting as agents when dealing with court politics on weekdays.

The courtiers wrote to the emperor, and the eunuchs led by Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang saw it, but it was just rare to deal with this group of sour Confucians.

With the means of eunuchs such as Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, it is very simple to punish someone, and in the name of the emperor, it is easy to list all kinds of fictitious crimes, and then knock a certain obstructive existence into the dust.

It's an unfair contest, and the one with the power can always laugh to the end.

In addition, there is also the battle situation in Xiliang.

The battle situation in Xiliang was extremely unfavorable to the Han army.

Since Jiang Xiaobai's division returned to the dynasty, and the Xiliang War was taken over by Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, Bian Zhang, who had retreated to Longxi County, was ready to move again and sent troops to harass the surrounding areas.

The Han court always had a delusion, whether it was Liu Hong, the emperor in the court, or Zhang Wen, the general of the chariot and cavalry who went to Xiliang, in their opinion, since Jiang Xiaobai was able to calm the war in Xiliang in just a few months, the strength of the Qiang people must be weak and vulnerable.

However, when Zhang Wen really led the army to confront the Qiang rebels, he finally realized that it was not the enemy who could not do it, but Jiang Xiaobai.

Just when Jiang Xiaobai said goodbye to Huangfu Song in Jizhou and went to Youzhou, the war in Xiliang also ushered in a phased end.

It ended with the chariot general Zhang Wen losing the battle and leading the army to retreat and garrison on the right side of Fufeng.

Fiasco!

A complete fiasco!

The territories that Jiang Xiaobai had recovered in a few months, Hanyang County, Anding County and Beidi County, fell again and fell into the pocket of the rebel army led by Bian Zhang.

The battle in Liangzhou ended hastily with the defeat of the Han army.

However, there are no bright spots.

The future man of the year, Sun Jian, Ziwentai, Sun Quan's father, is also on the battlefield in Liangzhou, and served in the military under Zhang Wen's account.

He obeyed the dispatch of the cavalry general Zhang Wen, and went to Longxi County to attack the Qiang rebel army led by Bian Zhang.

The morale of the Han army was like a rainbow, and they pursued Bianzhang all the way to Xiangwu City.

The rebel army led by Bian Zhang was trapped in Xiangwu City, and at this time, Sun Jian saw the situation clearly, and he played his duty to join the military and put forward his suggestions to Zhou Shen in a timely manner.

"The rebels hurriedly retreated to Xiangwu City, there must not be enough food in the city, and it must be transported in from outside, I am willing to lead an army of 10,000 people to cut off the rebels' grain routes, general, as long as you lead the army to meet in the back, Bian Zhang will definitely not dare to fight because of the fatigue of people and horses, and it will not take long for Xiangwu City to be self-defeating."

"At that time, the rebels will inevitably abandon Xiangwu City and return to the base of the Qiang people, and then we can gather the general of the Che cavalry and the general of the captives, integrate the forces of the three armies, and start a war with the Qiang people, and the war in Liangzhou will soon be completely quelled."

Sun Jian's strategy was a little complicated, but it was a long-term plan, but Zhou Shen was just a martial artist, and he couldn't understand Sun Ce's strategy, so he decisively rejected Sun Jian's proposal

According to Zhou Shen, what's the use of doing so many bells and whistles, isn't a simple and rude siege fragrant?

Zhou Shen doesn't look very good, but he wants to be beautiful, he wants to rely on his generous capital to fight a protracted war with Bian Zhang, anyway, he has food and soldiers, so he consumes it like this, and when the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, that is, the day he leads the army to break the city.

This is typical inertial thinking.

Be stupid yourself, thinking that others are just as stupid as yourself!

Sun Jian's suggestion is very good, Zhou Shen doesn't know the goods, but Bian Zhang is slightly the same as Sun Jian's hero, Bian Zhang, who was trapped in Xiangwu City, sent a force at night to go around behind Zhou Shen's army and cut off its grain route.

Zhou Shen was dumbfounded!

There was no way, Zhou Shen could only lead the army back to his home, but sooner or later he would have to pay it back.

The price of withdrawing the army was very high, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the army led by Bian Zhang, Zhou Shen ordered the whole army to abandon the baggage and speed up the escape from Longxi County.

As the so-called disaster does not go alone, when Zhou Shen led the army to withdraw from Longxi County, on the other side, Dong Zhuo, the general of the captivity, was also unlucky.

Dong Zhuo made his own opinion, he led the army deep, preparing to go around to the rear of Longxi County, and give Bian Zhang a thousand years of killing, but he was besieged by the Qiang people on the way.

Strange to say, Dong Zhuo had a good life, escaped death again, turned the danger into safety, and in the face of the siege of the Qiang people, he was able to retreat with his whole body, and the army under his hand suffered very little damage.

Obviously, after Jiang Xiaobai's repeated tempering, Dong Zhuo is now well-behaved, and he knows how to preserve his strength.

In this troubled world, as long as you have soldiers and horses in your hands, you have the right to speak.

This is the truth that Dong Zhuo realized after being tortured by Jiang Xiaobai countless times.

However, although Dong Zhuo's whole army retreated, but in the end he suffered a defeat, his face was not very bright, and afterwards the general Zhang Wen summoned him to discuss the matter, and he dragged it for a long time before he went to see Zhang Wen.

As the commander of the Liangzhou battlefield, Zhang Wen reprimanded Dong Zhuo for acting privately, which led to the defeat of the army, however, in the face of Zhang Wen's accountability, the cheeky Dong Zhuo was not afraid of boiling water, and did not take Zhang Wen's admonition in his eyes at all.
