Emperor Ling's will was to summon the meritorious soldiers of the rebellion together, and Pingzhou and Youzhou were on the way, so the envoy first went to Pingzhou, and then went back to Youzhou.

Jixian County, this is Zhang Hao's hometown, since the Zhang family moved to Liaodong, Zhang Hao has never returned. Passing by this time, it still makes him miss this place.

Although he only lived for less than a month after he was reborn, counting the time spent on garrison, it was only a little more than a month before and after, but in his memory it was the place where he grew up.

Everything is so beautiful, except for the encounter with Gongsun Zhan.

"Mingde, it's been a long time." Gongsun Chan leaned over familiarly, "I heard that Juste has made great contributions in Pingzhou again, it's really gratifying." ”

"Where, where," Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Brother Bogui is not bad, he killed Zhang Ju, causing the rebels to collapse without a fight, and the credit is not small." ”

"It's still not comparable to Mingde. Your Majesty is very loving, and because of my merit, I was promoted to a Zhonglang general, and I was crowned as a marquis of the capital pavilion, and there were 1,000 households in the city. ”

Gongsun Zhan's wish to worship the marquis came true at first, and he felt very happy. But after he heard from the envoy that Zhang Hao had been promoted to the general of Pingbei and added a thousand households of food, all that was left in his heart was jealousy.

Zhang Hao not only has a higher military rank than himself, but also a lot higher than himself. He is a pavilion marquis, he is a county marquis; He has only 1,000 households, and he has 4,000 households.

Even if Gongsun Chan has realized his wish now, as long as he thinks that Zhang Haoyuan is above him, he is still very dissatisfied.

"As Brother Bogui said, this is Your Majesty's love."

Unlike Gongsun Zhan, now Zhang Hao is thinking about what he experienced before, which has completely changed history.

Originally, the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju would not be quelled until Liu Yu served as the pastor of Youzhou in the fifth year of Zhongping, and Qiu Liju killed Zhang Chun with his own hands, and it would take two years to count.

But now the rebellion has been put down in less than half a year. Not only did Zhang Ju die, Zhang Chun fled outside the Great Wall, but Qiu Liju also died in his own hands.

Before Wuhuan was defeated by Cao Cao in his heyday, he was cut off by Zhang Hao ten years ago. Having lost half of the population and the entire pastures north of Liaodong, they want to rise again, unless it is a few generations later.

"I don't know what the future will be, is the next thing to rely on luck?" Zhang Hao thought in his heart.

……

The pilgrimage team finally came to Luoyang, but Zhang Hao and others were surprised, and the messenger from Wuhuan arrived together.

When he saw this Wuhuan messenger, Zhang Hao couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart. Even if Wu Huan's strength is much weaker now, but this kind of immature white-eyed wolf still exists for a day, then it is a hidden danger after all.

After the Spirit Emperor's will to receive everyone came, everyone went to the main hall. It's just that the envoy of Wuhuan can only wait outside the hall first.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" And they all bowed

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Emperor Ling said, his tone sounding very pleasant.

It's just that after everyone stood up, a minister on the side came out and bowed to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and servants of the imperial Shi Huandian impeached Zhang Hao, the general of Pingbei, for privately recruiting troops with the intention of rebellion!" ”

The courtiers were instantly shocked by the news, and many of them even had some joy in their tones.

Zhang Hao was also taken aback by this guy who suddenly came out, although he was recruiting soldiers at first, but didn't he change it later.

And looking at the appearance of these ministers, it seems that they don't know this news, where did he know about it.

Zhang Hao turned his head and glanced at him. Well, Huan Dian is Yuan Kui's former official, an unknown guy.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a Huan Wen among the descendants, Zhang Hao estimated that Fan Ye would not have written him in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. However, he is indeed very upright, and Zhang Hao feels that this should be his impeachment, not under the orders of others.

The Spirit Emperor, who was originally very excited, felt a little bored when he was made by Huan Dian like this. He said: "Is what Huan Aiqing said true, can there be evidence? ”

"Yes, this matter was told to Weichen by General Zhang's subordinates in the past, who are now too guarded by Qin Wen in Zhongshan, and got drunk. He said that there were few soldiers in Pingzhou, and General Zhang recruited 30,000 troops without an edict in order to resist Wuhuan. Huan Dian said.

Zhang Hao scolded in his heart: Qin Wen is really a traitor, fortunately he transferred him away, otherwise, I don't know how much more things I will do to myself in the future.

"Zhang Aiqing, is this matter serious?" The Spirit Emperor's face became displeased. If that were the case, it would be unforgivable.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, what Huan Yushi said is unfounded, it is slander." Zhang Hao immediately bowed.

Huan Dian said to Zhang Hao: "This is what Qin Taishou said, how can it be false?" ”

"Huan Yushi also said that this is what Qin Wen said after drinking, how can this drunken nonsense be credulous, Huan Yushi is inevitably a little chasing after the wind."

"But if the general didn't recruit troops, how could he resist the 70,000 Wuhuan army and win the battle?"

Emperor Ling was also very interested, so he asked: "What Huan Aiqing said is extremely true, and Zhang Aiqing did not mention the strength of troops in the previous report, so you can talk about it." ”

"Obey." Zhang Hao said, "Huan Yushi, the Pingzhou garrison alone is indeed unable to resist. It's just that I didn't recruit soldiers, but gathered the militia that was in winter training to resist the north, and then disbanded it after the war. ”

At this time, a middle-aged official with kind eyebrows stood up and bowed to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, the minister Tai Changqing Liu Yanyu is dead. The minister thought that what General Pingbei said was true, and it was excusable. ”

Zhang Hao turned his head and carefully looked at the loyal elder in front of him who was speaking for him.

He secretly said in his heart: "Liu Yan, he is really a good old man, but he is a guy who is very deep in the city, and he should have his own purpose when he speaks for me." ”

Liu Yan continued: "It was the time of the winter training of the peasants and the invasion of the Wuhuan army, and General Pingbei was responsible for guarding the land and the people, and it was a last resort to gather the militia to resist the thief army, otherwise he would not have been able to win this great victory.

However, General Pingbei did not have an edict, and even if he called the militia, it was a big taboo and should be punished. Therefore, the minister thinks that the merits and demerits can be offset by each other. ”

Emperor Ling nodded, Liu Yan is a famous elder in the clan, and what he said is quite reasonable, if it weren't for this, there would be no great victory in Pingzhou, then those livestock would be gone.

"Aiqing's words are reasonable, so I will cut 1,000 households in Aiqing's food town as a punishment."

Zhang Hao thought to himself: Anyway, I don't rely on these food to make a living, and if I cut it, I will cut it. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gongsun Zhan, who was next to him, saw this scene and laughed secretly in his heart: You deserve it, I think I should have pushed you to the end.

Since this matter has passed, Huan Dian also retreated. It's just that Liu Yanlai stood over there, as if he still hadn't finished speaking.

"Tai Changqing, but there are still unfinished words?" Emperor Ling asked, but he was unhappy in his heart, is there anything that is not good to say at one time, and he still has to ask about livestock.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Pingbei's matter reflects a problem." Liu Yan said, "Just as General Pingbei resisted Wuhuan this time and had to call up the militia due to the lack of troops, the counties and counties in the world also suffered from the lack of defenders.

For example, rebellions are occurring in various places today, and the local army does not have enough troops to be quickly broken by the rebels, and the imperial court does not have enough troops to send troops to quell the rebellion in time. If he had sent troops to Liaodong as Lu Shangshu said, General Pingbei would not have had to do so.

Therefore, the minister died to play His Majesty, changed the assassination history to the state pastor, and gave the local government the right to recruit soldiers. In this way, the imperial court can get a guard army without spending money and food, and the local government can have counterinsurgency troops at its own expense. ”

As soon as the topic of money and food was mentioned, Emperor Ling's IQ quickly turned negative, and he felt that the words of this sect elder were quite reasonable.

If the localities had the right to recruit soldiers, the imperial court would not have to bear the costs, and if there was a rebellion, they could solve it themselves.

is really worthy of an elder, and he can actually think of such a way to save worry, effort and money. At this moment, the Spirit Emperor was already thinking about what he could do with this part of the money he saved.

"Tai Changqing is worthy of being an elder of the clan, so he will do what Aiqing said. The edict is to change the history of assassination to the state pastor from now on, and you can recruit troops on your own to prepare for bandits. ”

The emperor followed his words and made a constitution, and his words took effect immediately as soon as he spoke. Zhang Hao didn't know whether to be happy or sad at this time. This Liu Yan really has a purpose, and he also uses himself as an example to talk about things.

In history, it was Liu Yan's suggestion that opened the prison for the governors and taishou in various places, and they had the right to recruit troops with financial power, but they did not have the name of princes but had the reality of princes.

Zhang Hao should thank Liu Yan, although people help themselves to speak to use themselves, but no matter how you say it, they also help themselves. And judging from the advice he made, it was also extremely beneficial to himself.

However, it was precisely because of the emperor's permission that the warlords were divided and the people suffered from the war. Looking at it this way, Zhang Hao should also resent this old thief who is inconsistent on the outside and inside and outside, seemingly loyal but hypocritical.

At this time, a sergeant ran in from outside the hall and shouted: "Urgent military situation! Emergency military intelligence! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, the sergeant knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Yizhou emergency military situation!" ”

Emperor Ling was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Yizhou?" ”

"Yizhou Ma Xiang, Zhao Ji and others gathered to rebel, calling themselves the Yellow Turban, they have broken through Mianzhu, killed Mianzhu and ordered Li Sheng, and they are attacking Luo County at the moment."

It's really the same as Liu Yan said, this rebellion really happened one after another, and it seems that it was a wise decision to agree with Liu Yan's approach.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ling immediately ordered: "Yizhou Assassin Shi Xi Jian is incompetent, causing Yizhou to rebel and cannot be quelled, and he will be dismissed immediately." Liu Yan, Taichangqing, was appointed as the pastor of Yizhou and went to the previous post to quell the rebellion. ”

"Obey." Liu Yan bowed.

He was already smiling in his heart: he thought that he would recommend himself as the pastor of Yizhou, but he didn't expect this opportunity to come by himself. It seems that I am really the true son of heaven who can help the Han family.

Zhang Hao was surprised in his heart: This matter is also in advance.
