In Luoyang, Beijing, in a remote place in the North Palace, Zhang Rang carefully held the land bond in his hand, which is what people call the bond of the red ticket.

"Oh, this little thing is more likable than those white flowers, yellow silver, and gold. Such a small piece of paper. It turned out to be an acre of land, and the value of this acre of land is much more cost-effective than silver. Zhang Rang likes the texture of the red ticket very much, especially the feeling of touching it in his hand, which is much better than touching it in a woman's hand. This feeling made him feel very comfortable and very remarkable.

"I really don't know when there will be more of these things." Zhang Rang said cautiously that Zhang Rang bought a large number of land bonds, but the number of purchases was still very small, and he felt that the number was not enough. In order to increase the number of purchases, he allocated some funds to Zuo Feng, and in order to increase his good impression of the land bond, Zuo Feng specially sent a land bond, he hoped that the feeling of the land bond could make him better.

"Waiting, waiting." Just when Zhang Rang was excitedly admiring the texture of the land bond, a small yellow door ran over and shouted loudly. Zhang Rang was taken aback, he quickly hid the things, and then carefully soothed his injured little heart.

"Why are you so flustered?" Zhang Rang pretended to be calm and said. In fact, he wanted to scold the other party, but when he thought about it, it would only make him more panicked, so he calmed down and planned to find a time to settle accounts with the other party. Zhang Rang has always been like this, he couldn't bear it at first, but he just felt that it was not the best time, but once he thought that when he did it, he would inevitably fall into a huge disaster for the other party, and he did too much of this kind of thing. Naturally, the car is familiar with driving. For example, in the treatment of Wang Yun, his revenge mentality has seriously illustrated this point. It's just that many people don't know about such a situation.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty coughed badly, and blood was also found." Xiao Huangmen said nervously.

"Oh, you guys really deserve to die, such a big thing, this is to me, oh, my majesty." Saying that, Zhang Rang ran as fast as if he had burned his ass, and Xiao Huangmen couldn't catch up with him, Zhang Rang was very clear about his status, he knew that he could have such a status, relying on the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. Without that, he would be nothing. If His Majesty is still there, everything is easy to say, but if His Majesty is not there, nothing can be done. Therefore, in such a situation, Zhang Rang naturally became anxious. This is a major matter related to his life, can he not be in a hurry?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zhang Rang stumbled to the side hall, and what he saw was that Emperor Han Ling's face was pale and he looked very weak.

"Your Majesty, you must take care, take care." Zhang Rang said very anxiously.

"Oh. It's Zhang Changshi. I'm good, I'm fine. Emperor Han Ling said weakly.

"It's just, it's just the situation in Handan. I'm worried. Emperor Han Ling said helplessly. Zhang Rangrang let the left and right retreat, after all, this kind of thing is not something that they can know about it, not only that. There are some things that do not let them know either.

"Your Majesty's priority is to ensure that the Eucharist is paramount." Zhang Rang said worriedly.

"But I am a heart disease, Handan is in danger, how many days has the grain and grass in the city been, I am afraid, it can't be difficult for a long time." Emperor Han Ling said worriedly.

"Your Majesty is worried." Zhang Rang said. He still knows something about Handan, and he has been surrounded for a long time. And the whole campaign actually revolved around the rescue of Handan, but now, the Red Turban Army has eaten most of the Northern Army. It seems that they will eat Handan. It's just a matter of time. Zhang Rang is also worried about such problems. The news sent by Zuo Feng said that he could keep the Red Turban Army from going south, but there was an important premise that he could get Handan, Huguan, and part of Shangdang County. In fact, in these places, the imperial court has lost control, take Handan as an example, Handan is just an isolated city, and the surrounding towns and villages have long fallen into the control of the Red Turban Army, so it can be said that the significance of Handan City is no longer significant. On the contrary, the loss of Handan City will also have a great disastrous impact on the imperial court.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Ling of Han is very worried, but the money and grain of the imperial court have been empty, and after the conquest and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army. The amount of money and food spent has reached its limit, and the imperial court is powerless to continue like this. Emperor Han Ling was very worried about this, which was also an important factor in aggravating his condition, in fact, Emperor Han Ling's body was too much to wear. Coupled with intemperance, this has led to a deterioration in physical condition. Recently, because of the problem of conquest, Emperor Han Ling's mood was not good, and his body became even weaker.

"Your Majesty, the little one has a plan, maybe it will work." Zhang Rang thought about it at this time and said

"Oh, say it." Emperor Han Ling said.

"Your Majesty, this Handan, Huguan and other places have become isolated cities, the surrounding imperial courts have lost control, the Red Turban Army is all attacking from the countryside, their troops are good at this kind of operation, if they continue to send large troops, it will be difficult to deal with it for a while, and the Red Turban weapons are extremely sharp, so it is no longer appropriate to conduct such a battle." Zhang Rang said.

"I know. But so what? Emperor Han Ling stabilized and said. He knows this situation, and it is really difficult to change such a situation. Therefore, in the current situation, many things have greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Your Majesty, it's better to give up these isolated cities, and the imperial court can withdraw, which can also reduce some troubles." Zhang Rang thought about it and said it anyway.

"Huh?" Emperor Han Ling looked at Zhang Rang.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty's Jizhou has been completely eroded. The entire Jizhou has lost many people, a lot of local land is barren, and the county treasury is also empty. If the imperial court continues to manage there, it will need to allocate more money and exempt more taxes, and Jizhou may continue to be chaotic, and the situation in Jizhou will become difficult to maintain. Zhang Rang said cautiously. This kind of words are very difficult to hear, Emperor Han Ling can listen to it completely because he believes in himself, if this is the case, he can't listen to it, and many things will basically not be done.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court can no longer get any taxes from Jizhou, Jizhou has now become a mess, even if Handan is kept, the imperial court still needs to invest a lot of money and grain, but how did these money and grain come from, how many people in Jizhou suffered, without such a large amount of money and grain, it still can't be solved. Your Majesty, it's better to give up this place and throw this ** annoyance to the red turban thief. And we wait, handing over a lonely city to them, can also be exchanged for a large number of firearms, with which the problem is solved. Zhang Rang said.

Emperor Han Ling didn't speak, in fact, he already had some decisions. Zhang Rang said the fact, they have actually lost control of Handan, losing Handan, it is a matter of time, but if Handan is withdrawn, it may be exchanged for some benefits, for example, a city in exchange for some firearms, this is also a very cost-effective thing, if you continue to maintain these, it means that the imperial court needs to spend more and more money and grain, but where does this money and grain come from, at most it is only to reduce some taxes, but if you want to completely solve such a thing, it is still difficult, very difficult, This means that many things will be extremely bad for them. As a result, many of their situations would be in an extremely unfavorable situation, and the imperial court would not be able to come up with such a large amount of money to support such a thing.

"Your Majesty, this Handan, although the Huguan is lost. However, the imperial court can still train a new army and recapture it, and the red turban thieves thought that they had got a big bargain, but they didn't know that they had already gotten a big annoyance. And so it goes. It will be difficult for them to sustain themselves, and in the end Handan will still give up, and His Majesty can take the opportunity to recover it at that time. Zhang Rang persuaded like this. He knew that Emperor Han Ling was worried about not being able to recover Handan City, after all, this was a psychological factor, and many people were reluctant, but he knew that if he considered the stakes of continuation, Emperor Han Ling was still very willing. After all, this kind of thing, there is still an impact on them. In this way, many things can be carried forward.

"Very well. Just do it your way. Emperor Han Ling finally made up his mind, after all, such a thing is very easy to decide, he is a willing person, since he can't bring benefits, he doesn't want it. Someone wants it.

"Go and draw your will. Convey it. I'm much better now. Emperor Han Ling said.

"Those ministers of the imperial court, they can't think of such a thing. Whatever land will be recovered, and if there is no money or food, I will take what to recover. In this way, wouldn't it put the imperial court in a disadvantage. You go quickly. Emperor Han Ling said. Zhang Rang nodded in agreement, and he quickly left here. He didn't expect that Emperor Han Ling would agree so quickly, maybe he really said that he had moved Emperor Han Ling, or Emperor Han Ling had already given up in his heart. It's just that he found Zhang Rang's explanation, and what he needs is such a step down. The situation in Jizhou really made Emperor Han Ling very worried, and he felt that it was very bad, because the situation had very clearly illustrated that there were too many things they needed to solve in such a situation. Too much. In such a situation, many situations can make their situation difficult to solve.
