Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun entered the study, Zhao Yun did not speak, but looked Zhao Yi up and down, in more than two years, Zhao Yi has grown from a small county order to a state pastor with a lot of power, Zhao Yun is very comforted in his heart.

As an official of the imperial court, there is a leader like Zhao Yi, but the blessing of the imperial court, and now the Eastern Han Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and it really needs a virtuous general like Zhao Yi to turn the tide, but as a father, Zhao Yun does not want his son to stand on the cusp.

"Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, is it for the matter of Boyu in Xiliang and Beigong?" Zhao Yun asked.

For Zhao Yun, Zhao Yi did not hide the situation of his entry into the palace and told him about it, and even said it again about meeting Zhang Rang halfway, after all, Zhao Yun has been an official for many years, and his experience is much richer than Zhao Yi. Although Zhao Yi did not join the two camps of He Jin and Zhang Rang, he was able to stand tall in the official position of Shangshu's right servant, which shows that Zhao Yun is really unusual.

Zhao Yun has been watching the two camps of the DPRK and China compete with each other, and he must have his own views on the situation between the DPRK and China. After Zhao Yun heard Zhao Yi say this, he stroked his long beard and sighed slightly: "Bolai, you are still too sharp." ”

In Zhao Yun's opinion, Zhao Yi obeyed Zhang Rang with words, but Zhang Rang must have been wary in his heart, and ordinary people have only one way to deal with those who hinder their future, and that is to kill them all. Eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. And Emperor Han Ling's private meeting with Zhao Yi has aroused Zhang Rang's vigilance.

Zhang Rang wanted Zhao Yi to obey his orders, so he said a lot of good things in front of Emperor Han Ling. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong hoped that Zhao Yi would have a good official position, but the premise of all this was that Zhao Yi must obey them. Instead of Zhao Yi passing over them, he directly contacted Emperor Han Ling.

"Zhang Rang is already wary of you now, you must be very careful in your affairs in the future, otherwise it is likely that Zhang Rang and others will seize the handle, and Zhang Rang and others will take the opportunity to trample you under their feet." Zhao Yun reminded Zhao Yi, "Especially this crusade against the Xiliang rebels, it is their opportunity." ”

Zhao Yi knew that he had risen too fast in the past two years, and some old ministers who were loyal to the Han family, seeing that Zhao Yi was promoted too quickly, not only would they not be jealous, but they would be very relieved on the contrary, because only Zhao Yi's power could help the court solve more troubles.

But like courtiers like He Jin and Zhang Rang, what they think in their hearts is not necessarily, although these two camps also take into account some major court affairs, but their ultimate goal is to overwhelm the other party strongly. Now that the imperial court is two tigers fighting, if Zhao Yi rises up again and forms a three-legged trend, it will be too big a blow to He Jin and Zhang Rang.

Because of many victories, Zhao Yi has a lot of prestige in the army, and he is friendly with Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi, generals who hold real power, if they have the heart to enter Beijing to fight for power, it is indeed a great threat to He Jin and Zhang Rang. Moreover, although Zhao Yun did not enter any camp in the DPRK, he had a good personal relationship with some neutral ministers in the DPRK. If Zhao Yi fights for power with Zhang Rang and He Jin, not to mention whether they can succeed, Zhao Yun will definitely help Zhao Yi.

This is also what He Jin and others are worried about, and Zhao Yi himself knows this.

"This battle with Beigong Boyu, if it wins, it's fine, if it fails, then He Jin and Zhang Rang will definitely take advantage of the topic to play, even if it doesn't cost your life, but I'm afraid it's inevitable to lose your official position and resign." Zhao Yun sighed, and if he failed, Zhao Yi's past achievements would also be wiped out.

In the future, most of the people will only remember that Zhao Yi was defeated by Beigong Boyu, and will forget Zhao Yi's original credits, just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu in the past.

Originally, Zhao Yun meant to let Zhao Yi stabilize in Youzhou for a few years, and the situation in Youzhou was complicated and turmoil was frequent, Zhao Yun expected that Zhao Yi would not be able to clean up the chaotic situation in a few years, but he did not expect that Zhao Yi had just been promoted to Youzhou pastor for a year, and he had already governed Youzhou in an orderly manner, and the external Yi tribe had repeatedly dared to invade Youzhou.

The more turmoil there is, the more stable Zhao Yi, the Youzhou pastor, can do, if there is no turmoil in Youzhou, and the external Yi clan has not had the ability to attack Youzhou for more than ten years, then what is the use of Zhao Yi, the Youzhou pastor?

When Zhao Yi left Beijing to take office before, Zhao Yun explained to Zhao Yi in this way, and when he encountered bandits, he had to suppress the two and keep one of them, so that Zhao Yi had a meritorious role in suppressing the bandits, and the turmoil in Youzhou had not yet stabilized. The report of the battle reached the imperial court, and Zhang Rang and He Jin wanted to find trouble, but there was no excuse. But Zhao Yi acted too desperately, and even attacked an outside Yi tribe. This made Zhao Yun sigh that Zhao Yi used soldiers like a god, and at the same time, he also secretly said that his son was too stupid.

Zhao Yun explained that Zhao Yi knew all this, but Zhao Yi couldn't bear to do it, because frequent turmoil would lead to the displacement of the people, and Zhao Yi, as a pastor in Youzhou, didn't want to exchange the pain of the people for his own stability.

But now it's too late to say these things, and now that Zhao Yi has taken over the errand of the Western Expedition, Zhao Yun asked Zhao Yi: "Do you have a plan in mind to deal with Beigong Boyu?" ”

Zhao Yi's decision to send troops to deal with Beigong Boyu had been agreed upon by the imperial court as early as more than a month ago when Zhao Yi defeated the Xiongnu tribe, because the Wuhuan tribe of Youzhou and the Goguryeo tribe jointly invaded Youzhou, and Zhao Yi returned to Youzhou to quell the rebellion, so it was shelved. However, the turmoil in Youzhou did not affect the decision of the imperial court, and Zhao Yi's mind did not take away from Beigong Boyu, waiting for Zhao Yi to prepare for a month.

Hearing Zhao Yun's question, a wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth: "Beigong Boyu is different from Qiu Liju, Goguryeo and other tribes. Now Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others are in Liangzhou, and have captured many cities in Liangzhou, with 100,000 soldiers, and I heard that the Qiang soldiers are good at using fast horses and spears, and my soldiers may not be able to take advantage of fighting with them. ”

"Moreover, the soldiers of the imperial court are recruited from all sides, and there is a lack of cooperation between them, and there will definitely be many flaws in their actions, leading this kind of soldiers to fight with the strong Qiang soldiers. The odds won't be too high. Zhao Yi detailed the current situation of the court and the situation of the official army, and finally only said one sentence, "Now I have no certainty of victory, so I can only act at the opportunity." ”

Dealing with the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army, and even the powerful Xiongnu tribe, Zhao Yi seemed to be light and light, and after talking about the Qiang tribe, Zhao Yi's face showed a rare dignified look, which shows that the soldiers of the Qiang tribe are extremely difficult to deal with. The reason why Zhao Yi was so jealous of the Qiang tribe was because of the defeat of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song and others.

If you talk to Zhao Yun about how to govern the country, Zhao Yun can still give Zhao Yi advice, but if it is about marching and fighting, Zhao Yun doesn't know anything, hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Yun is also secretly distressed in his heart, and even Zhao Yi, the commander, has no bottom in his heart, so how to fight this battle.

However, Zhao Yun did not dampen Zhao Yi's enthusiasm, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Well, the situation on the battlefield is changing very quickly, how can you expect it, and it is good to act when you see the opportunity." ”

The two fathers and sons discussed for a while, and it was nothing more than some things in Youzhou. Later, the slave at home came with a message that the general He Jin asked Zhao Yi to enter the mansion.

Zhao Yi, who couldn't refuse, had to go to the General's Mansion, He Jin saw Zhao Yi's eyes showing joy, greeted Zhao Yi at the door of the hall, and welcomed Zhao Yi into the hall.

Zhao Yi and He Jin have known each other for a long time, and after saying a few words, He Jin led the topic to the matter of Beigong Boyu, saying that Zhu Jun and others could not conquer Beigong Boyu, and this matter could only rely on Zhao Yi.

"This official has already promoted Bo Lai as the marshal of the expedition to the west in front of His Majesty, and this official thinks that Bo Lai will definitely be able to make this great contribution to the imperial court." He Jin said with a smile.

Zhao Yi secretly said that this He Jin was troublesome, and he said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the general, and the humble position will definitely live up to the general's trust." ”

"Now that the situation in the imperial court, Bo Lai should already know that Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants have reached an outrageous point in disturbing the imperial court, and this official heard that Zhang Rang seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Bolai, and may have commented on Bo Lai in front of His Majesty. Beware of what he does in the future. He Jin kindly reminded Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi thanked He Jin for the reminder, and also expressed his dissatisfaction with the eunuchs: "What the general said is good, there are relatives of Zhang Rang and others in Youzhou, these people don't think about the sorrow of the people, they only want to enjoy themselves, and the people of the county they govern are not happy. This official has long had the idea of dismissing these officials, but because of the relationship between the ten permanent servants, he has asked the imperial court several times to transfer these officials, but they have not been approved. ”

Seeing the indignant look on Zhao Yi's face, He Jin's face was full of smiles, for He Jin, the greater Zhao Yi's opinion on the Ten Standing Servants and others, the greater the hope of He Jin and Zhao Yi.

"If the general has a plan to deal with the eunuchs, he only needs to pass on a letter, and Bo Laiding will do his best to help."

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, He Jin smiled even more, and raised the bronze juke to signal Zhao Yi: "Don't worry, it's not too late that day." ”

Nearly an hour after the banquet in the General's Mansion, He Jin happily sent Zhao Yi out of the mansion, and handed Zhao Yi some information about Beigong Boyu when he left.

Staring at Zhao Yi's figure that was gradually moving away, He Jin had a smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with today's conversation with Zhao Yi, because Zhao Yi, who was originally wavering, finally had a move that leaned towards him.

If this was when Zhao Yi was promoted to the county guard of Zhuo County, Zhao Yi would have made this move He Jin would have vigorously supported Zhao Yi, but now Zhao Yi, who has become a state pastor, has this move, and He Jin has concerns about Zhao Yi, because He Jin doesn't know if Zhao Yi has this move, whether he really wants to unite with him, or wants to use his own strength to deal with Zhang Rang.

"Zhao Yi wants to wait for me and Zhang Rang to fight to the death before making a move, it's not that easy!"
