Wen Han understands very well that his position in the heart of Emperor Han Ling is a dispensable wolf, which can be used when it is available, and when it is not available, it will be left to fend for itself, and when Wen Han encounters strong winds and rains, he will only give a little favor and small favors, if he resists, he will keep it for later, and it is not a pity if he can't stand it.

Therefore, why does Wen Han have to bite Guo Da's white wave thieves to the death, and now that the deadline for the second half of the year is approaching, if he is leading the army to chase, even if he catches up, fighting against Guo Da's 40,000 white wave thieves, not to mention whether he can win, even if he wins, it will definitely take a long time. At that time, the holy decree of Emperor Han Ling's whereabouts was just to ask Wen Han to ensure that within half a year, there would be no more rebels in Hedong.

According to the literal meaning of the holy decree, Wen Han has fulfilled the emperor's mandate.

But when the time comes, if Wen Han leads the army to chase after him, he will fight against the white wave thieves outside the east of the river. When the deadline came, the ministers who had accepted the benefits of the wealthy people in Hedong and wanted to murder him, picked bones in eggs, and said a few words in front of Emperor Han Ling, Wen Han didn't dare to guarantee that Emperor Han Ling would not order his head when he arrived.

Such a thankless task, Wen Han is not so pedantic, and he will definitely not do it. Moreover, Wen Han guessed that Guo Da's white wave thief would not make a big move for a while. As long as he hid in the shadows for a while, after a few days, after the limelight of this matter passed, Wen Han had firmly sat in the position of Hedong Taishou.

At that time, Wen Han will no longer give those wealthy people in Hedong a chance to be presumptuous, so that they will have the spare strength to buy those ministers to seek him. Without the slanderous words of those ministers, Wen Han believed that Emperor Han Ling would not force him to a dead end.

After Wen Han made up his mind, he decided to collect his troops and go back to Anyi. At this time, spring is also coming to an end. Summer is fast approaching and the weather is a little cooler. On the way back to Anyi, Wen Han looked at the original wasteland around him on the way, which had turned into green fields under the cultivation of countless farmers, and he felt a little sense of accomplishment in his heart.

And the peasants who were ploughing the land, when they saw Wen Han's military horses, guessed that this was probably Wen Han's army returning from the campaign. When they saw the leading general, young, heroic, and riding a black horse, it was very similar to the rumored image of the champion Wen. Immediately, these peasants gathered around happily, shouting the name of Wen Champion.

At this time, Wen Han would stop the army, and Wen Han would dismount, surrounded by a crowd of peasants, and go to the field to look at it, and ask about the cultivation of the field. Wen Han was so close to them, and of course the peasants were very excited, and they all rushed to answer the question of what they were planting.

Although Wen Han is not very proficient in the knowledge of farming and farming, he has some things that he does not understand, and he will be ashamed to ask the surrounding farmers. And every time Wen Han asks a question, it is some common sense, so it will cause the surrounding farmers to laugh. It turns out that this seemingly capable literary champion also has a lot of things he doesn't understand. In this way, Wen Han is invisibly a little closer in the hearts of these farmers.

And when it was time to leave, the peasants, without exception, would go to their houses and take out a lot of dry food and bamboo tubes filled with water for Wen Han's army. Although Wen Han's army has enough dry food, but after all, this is the heart of the peasants, under Wen Han's secret permission, the soldiers have received these dry food and bamboo tubes handed by the peasants, but they will not ask too much, just eat a little to show their acceptance. After all, for these farmers, they need food more.

In this way, Wen Han's army stopped and stopped in the territory of Hedong, and it took a lot of time to return to Anyi City.

And just as Wen Han was leading the triumphant army back to Anyi, in Luoyang City, the undercurrent killing wave rose to a supreme point.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, a certain hall.

"I didn't expect that. This Wen Bufan has such the ability to exterminate nearly 100,000 thieves in this half a year. Now in the territory of Hedong, there are no more thieves who commit disorder.

I really regret that I didn't try to win him over in the first place. This person is extraordinary, and all of his subordinate generals Guan Xu Gaosan have unstoppable ability, although they do not have many soldiers and horses, but they are all elite tigers. Now in the wealthy family in Hedong, it can be said that it is difficult to sleep and eat, and a large number of silver taels have been sent for several days, hoping that we will help them in front of the saint, and then design and murder Wen Bufan. ”

Zhang Rang had a letter in his hand, and after he finished reading it, he sighed with some embarrassment.

"Hmph. What's so great about that Wen Bufan, there are only 20,000 soldiers, and the general will not pass Xu Gao, and there are some small fish and shrimp that are not well known. Why should Brother Zhang care so much about him. Compared to the big things we waited, he didn't care about it. At the moment, our most important concern is to eradicate Butcher He. Then put the prince on the throne and be the puppet of my brothers. ”

Zhao Zhong snorted coldly, and seemed to feel a little indignant that Zhang Rang cared so much about Wen Han. Zhang Rang smiled, put the letter in his hand in the candle on the table next to him and destroyed it, and then set his eyes on Jian Shuo.

"Brother Jian, it's been a while. How prepared are you for the murder of the butcher? ”

Jian Shuo heard Zhang Rang calling him, his face immediately turned stunned, and a gloomy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Zhang rest assured. I'm ready, little brother. Tomorrow, you'll see the head of Butcher Ho. ”

"Good, good. If Brother Jian succeeds, this great achievement is enough to make you a king in the future. ”

The word Wang came out of Zhang Rang's mouth, and it suddenly made Jian Shuo's eyes widen and brighten. Jian Shuo suppressed the wild beat in his heart, got up and walked to the center, bowed deeply, and said that he would definitely complete the trust.

Zhang Rang and the others were secretly plotting things, while the other side was in a secret room in General He's mansion.

"General, it's been a few days, why haven't you seen Jian Shuo's gelding do it for a long time?"

It was Hanoi Taishou Yuan Shao who spoke, since he received the letter from He Jin, he immediately asked Hanoi's military horses to prepare, and he rushed to Luoyang with dozens of elite soldiers.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry. Jian Shuo is cautious, if he is not fully prepared, he will never act rashly. ”

He Jin's small eyes lit up, and with a calm smile, he said to Yuan Shao beside him.

At this time, Yuan Shu, who was next to Yuan Shao, was full of disdain and opened his mouth to say.

"Hmph, just a gelding, why does the general have to work hard to mobilize the people, as long as you give me an order, give me some soldiers and horses. I immediately took my generals into the palace and presented the head of the gelding dog to the general. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Yuan Shu said that, Cao Cao, who was opposite him, couldn't help laughing at the moment. Yuan Shu smiled when he saw Cao Cao, and then endured the touch, and suddenly became angry, pointing at Cao Cao and wanting to scold.

"Yuan Highway! You're now a county guard, and you're still so immature when you think about things! That's the Royal Palace! You led the troops into the palace, did you want to rebel!? Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, the gelding dog will bite you!? ”

He Jin frowned, and asked Yuan Shu again and again, although he deliberately suppressed his anger, his tone still seemed hot. It sounds like a scolding. Yuan Shu's face twitched, and his eyes were full of anger that was about to burst out when he looked at Cao Cao. He felt that the reason why he was scolded by He Jin in person was because of Cao Cao's laughter just now!

Cao Cao turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and looked indifferent, so angry that Yuan Shu gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to go over and slap Cao Cao twice.

He and Cao Cao also received a letter from He Jin, both of whom ordered the army under his command to prepare, and then led the elite soldiers to arrive.

The reason why the two of them and Yuan Shao let go, and the current war against thieves in their county was all because of a sentence written in He Jin's letter.

'The Ten Standing Servants are plotting to rebel, and Luoyang is about to change greatly. ’

When Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others saw this, almost all that came to the minds of the three of them were thoughts such as a rare opportunity in a hundred years and great merit. They believed that as long as they helped He Jin suppress the Ten Standing Servants, then He Jin would become the unquestioned first minister in the imperial court. At that time, they will definitely be satisfied with what they have obtained.

"That's it! The reason why I sent a message for the three of you to come over and plan for great things together is because I can afford you! Interested in bringing the three of you along! I hope you guys won't let me down! Otherwise, you will live in a county forever, and be a guard! ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu was unabashedly expressing his anger at Cao Cao, He Jin didn't take him as a general in his eyes at all, so he couldn't help but take a breath up his throat and shouted loudly.

When He Jin drank this, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others all had tight faces, and they all bowed their hands to He Jin and said that they were guilty. He Jin's anger only decreased slightly when he saw this.

And after Cao Cao pondered for a while, he suddenly spoke.

"General. It's a big matter, why don't you find one more person, this person is extraordinary, and he has no worries about General He. ”

He Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"Huh. The man to whom Mende refers. Could it be your best friend, Wen Han, Wen Bufan? Well. I originally intended to invite him to Luoyang. However, at that time, he was still fighting a decisive battle with the thieves in Baibo Valley, and he was under the emperor's order and couldn't get out of his body.

That's why I didn't invite him. But I didn't expect Wen Bufan to be so powerful, so quickly annihilate the white wave thieves and eliminate all the thieves in Hedong.

And now that the situation is getting more and more tense, it is too late to invite him at this time. It seems that the great merit of the Savior, who has been rare in a hundred years, is destined to be lost to him. ”

"Hmph, that's just a humble background, and then a little lucky. Why did the general think so highly of him. It is better that he is not there, lest he will be in trouble. ”

Yuan Shu, who had always regarded Wen Han as a thorn in his side, immediately snorted coldly when he heard He Jin's words, and opened his mouth to say disdainfully. Hearing this, He Jin frowned again, if he hadn't seen that Yuan Shu was from the Runan Yuan clan of the fourth and third dukes, and he was the son of the main family, and his identity was even more noble than Yuan Shao, he would definitely not invite this person to come to Luoyang.

"Brother Shu, this is a bad word. Wen Bufan has encountered many dangers and difficulties along the way, but he can turn evil into good fortune every time, of course, there is his luck, but he must also have his extraordinary talent. We have to admit that. ”

At this time, Yuan Shao, who originally regarded Wen Han as a thorn in his side, changed his previous attitude and said good things for Wen Han. He Jin nodded again and again when he listened, and thought, after Yuan Benchu became the Taishou of Hanoi, he changed his previous arrogance and matured a lot. is more worthy of trust than his brother Yuan Shu.
