Last time, it was mentioned that Jian Shuo read out the recital of Lu Zhi and He Meng at the court meeting, and the ministers discussed a lot, and He Jin was also thinking about the meaning behind the recital.

He Jin was also young, and he didn't sit in the position of a general from the beginning, although his starting point was much higher than Dongfang Xiong. But He Jin thought that if he was in Dongfang Xiong's position at that time, he could only choose to gamble helplessly. Victory, win a bright future; If he loses, he only loses his life. Emperor Liu Hong should have seen that he was already dead and let his Dongfang family have a way to live.

From this point of view, among the Yellow Turban thieves, some people are well aware of the situation of the generals of the Han army, could it be that there are spies in the Han army? Or are there still remnants of the Taiping Sect buried in the imperial court? If there are spies, the Han army will be in danger. This matter must be carefully investigated by He Meng.

And what if there are no spies? This is unlikely! Could it be that Zhang Jiao can really be counted?

He Jin had only heard that Zhang Jiao knew how to use spells and could use spells to heal people. But when Zhang Jiao was active in Luoyang, He Jin was still serving in the local government, so he had no contact with Zhang Jiao. However, He Jin has been in a high position for many years, and he has long stopped believing in the theory of ghosts and gods, if fortune telling can be useful, now the general in the court should be the fortune teller on the street, not He Jin. Even the emperor may have to be replaced. In addition to relying on his sister to enter the officialdom at the beginning, which step did he bother to operate and operate, so he climbed to the position of a general?

He Jin thought a lot, and the ministers were still talking there. Emperor Liu Hong just sat on it and watched, without saying a word.

Liu Hong was numb, he was waiting for He to make a difficulty.

Liu Hong originally wanted to use some lowly courtiers to re-establish his royalist party. Because only officials of relatively low status will their desire for official positions outweigh their fear of retribution from the great general He Jin. Who knew that Dongfang Xiong was so inadequate, he still had the face to say that his ancestor was Dongfang Shuo. Even Dongfang Plastic's descendants are so incompetent, what about the other petty officials, how many of them have real talent and learning, and can be useful?

Now Liu Hong is still alone, and without someone with weight to speak for him, it will be difficult for him to resist He Jin's forces. Because if what Liu Hong said was vetoed by He Jin and the ministers, his face would be completely finished, and it is estimated that more and more courtiers will dare to confront him in front of Liu Hong in the future.

He Jin was annoyed by the quarrel of the ministers, so he went out of the ranks, turned to face the ministers behind him, and scolded loudly: "This is not a vegetable market, what kind of noisy is it?" ”

This should not have been said by He Jin, but Liu Hong didn't care about these details anymore, he was still immersed in worrying about his situation.

Seeing that Liu Hong still didn't react, He Jin continued to act on behalf of the ministers, and said loudly to the ministers: "What do you think about this matter? Said one by one. ”

When the ministers heard the general say this, they all became quiet and abnormal (you need to think about it later, and it will be changed later)

At this moment, Liu Hong's face was a little flushed, and he said to himself worriedly: "But I can only stop He Jin for a while, and at tomorrow's court meeting, He Jin will definitely unite the courtiers to put pressure on me." Speaking of this, Liu Hong suddenly slapped the table without warning, and scolded Dongfang Xiongbastard, Lu Zhi Turtle Egg, He Jin Wang Bastard, Yellow Turban Thief Turtle Bastard......

In the main hall, there was a lot of scolding, and finally there was a continuous coughing sound......

He Jin left the palace and went to inform Chen Lin to discuss matters in his mansion.

Since Xun You did not give He Jin help in the Chongde Palace, He Jin gradually alienated Xun You. Chen Lin is the chief secretary of the General's Mansion and is responsible for drafting documents. He Jin saw that he had a beautiful writing and a flexible mind, and often asked Chen Lin for advice. After He Jin alienated Xun You, Chen Lin naturally became He Jin's mastermind.

However, He Jin and Chen Lin didn't know the specific situation of the war, so in the end, they didn't come up with a reason, but only gave two sets of plans.

First, if the Yellow Turban Thieves are really powerful, the Imperial Court needs to find a new commander, and it is best to send the most elite troops of the Imperial Court, the cavalry, to deal with the Yellow Turban Thieves.

At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, the most elite military branch was the infantry. But when the internal stability of the Han Dynasty and Gaozu used troops against the Xiongnu, the proudest infantry of the Han Dynasty was killed by the Xiongnu iron cavalry and had no temper at all. Later, the Han Dynasty absorbed the equipment and tactical advantages of the Xiongnu iron cavalry, and cultivated the iron cavalry belonging to the Han Dynasty. Since then, the most elite branch of the Han army has changed from an infantry army to a cavalry army, which has continued to this day.

However, the formation of a cavalry army is very expensive, because the financial revenue of the Han Dynasty has been shrinking in recent years, and even the absurd policy of selling officials and lords has been moved out by Liu Hong to generate income, and the imperial court at this time can no longer afford to raise a large-scale cavalry team. Only Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou have large-scale cavalry teams because they are horse-producing areas. There were also horses on the Youzhou side, but the actual area of control over Youzhou by the Han Dynasty was not very large, so only Beiping County in Youzhou retained a cavalry team to deal with the threat of the Xianbei people.

As the capital of the country, Luoyang must also keep cavalry equivalent to Bing, Yong, and Liang for the sake of face and lining, but there are only 20,000 cavalry. If he raised more, Liu Hong would also file for bankruptcy from heaven.

The second plan is: If it is only because of Dongfang Xiong's personal stupidity that the war is lost, then he only needs to let He Meng replace Lu Zhi and continue to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves.

There will be two sets of plans, because He Jin knows very well that He Meng, who has been with him for many years, is just a reckless man, and if the Yellow Turban thief is not easy to deal with, he will still support him on the throne, which will only cause He Meng to lose his life in vain. He Meng has followed He Jin for so many years, and He Jin has long regarded him as his brother.

At the next day's court meeting, Liu Hong asked Jian Shuo to read out Lu Zhi's plea and He Meng's recital accusing Lu Zhi of ineffective command.

After Jian Shuo finished reading out, the ministers were in an uproar. Where have they ever seen a mud-legged rebellion that can confront the Han army, and it is also the most elite central army group in the imperial court. The ministers and workers talked about it for a while.

He Jin Zou frowned, judging from Lu Zhi and He Meng's recitals, Dongfang Xiong's rashness was the main reason for the defeat in this war, but this cannot completely blame Dongfang Xiong for being stupid, He Jin understood in his heart why Dongfang Xiong made such a choice. Because Dongfang Xiong is just an insignificant little person in the court, if he wants to get ahead, he can't make mistakes.
