Last time, it was said that Lu Zhisi retired and dismissed the army, waiting for the results of the court's treatment of him. And Zhang Jiao also suspended the attack, waiting for the Han army to change commanders.

The two sides have once again entered a delicate truce.

But there is someone in it who is unwilling, that is He Meng, he really wants to find the field where he was played by the Yellow Turban thieves - set fire to the field and ran away, he hopes to consolidate his chance of taking over Lu Zhi's position by making another military exploit.

He Meng asked Lu Zhi for war many times and asked Lu Zhi to allocate his soldiers and horses. But Lu Zhi did not agree to solve the problem in order to prevent He Meng from dying in his office.

Four days later, Lu Zhi and He Meng's twists and turns both arrived in Luoyang.

After reading it, Emperor Liu Hong was so angry that he smashed the cup and scolded Dongfang Xiong for being a fool.

The general He Jin was also very surprised when he heard the eyeliner in the palace report this. He Jin was shocked by the combat power of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and even Lu Zhi, who had successfully suppressed the barbarian rebellion many times, was planted in the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves. Could it be that the imperial court misjudged them? The Yellow Turban Thieves don't seem to be just a rabble of mobs.

In addition to writing a recital, He Meng also wrote a private letter to the general He Jin. However, He Meng has limited knowledge of the subsequent development of the war. Therefore, before He Jin saw Lu Zhi's twists and turns, it was not good for him to make a final judgment about the defeat of the Han army.

He Jin hurriedly entered the palace and asked Jin to see the emperor in order to understand the specific situation of the defeat of the Han army. Although the relationship between him and Emperor Liu Hong is inevitable, his power and fate are still inseparable from the Han for the time being.

Emperor Liu Hongqi hadn't passed yet, and when he heard that the annoying He came in to find him, he waved vigorously to the neese who was passing the word, as if he wanted to slap the neestier from a distance, and shouted: "I don't see!" Tell him not to bother me! Liu Hong's angry voice was so loud that even He Jin outside the door could hear it.

He Jin did not flinch because of Liu Hong's anger, but instead had a cold face and shouted into the hall: "Minister He Jin asks for Jin to see!" After speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hands, he wanted to push away the Jian Shuo who was blocking him, but he didn't push it.

Jian Shuo is tall, strong in martial arts, and young. He Jin couldn't help him for a while.

He Jin glared at Jian Shuo viciously and warned: "Little Yellow Gate, dare to block General Ben?" ”

Jian Shuo said to He Jin expressionlessly: "Your Majesty has a will, the general, please go back." ”

"Good! Very good! After speaking, He Jinqi turned around and strode away.

Please support the author, please go to QQ Reading, Start Reading or any other website under China Literature to support the author, I am very grateful.

Jian Shuo saw He Jin leaving, so he turned around and entered the main hall, and saw Liu Hong gasping for breath, looking very angry.

Jian Shuo hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, trotted to Liu Hong's side, and while helping Liu Hong stroke his back with his hands, he gently comforted: "Holy Lord, please take care of the dragon body." ”

Liu Hong patted Jian Shuo's arm gratefully, and said softly, "I am the only one left by Jian Qing's side to reassure me." He Jin definitely heard that Dongfang Xiong died, and he came to force me to change his commander! As he spoke, Liu Hong became excited again and coughed repeatedly. Frightened, Jian Shuo slapped and hammered him beside him, and after slapping for a while, Liu Hong came to his senses.

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.
