Chapter Ninety-Four: Return to Yangzhai City
The next day, Liu Fan looked for a carriage in Kunyang, divided more than a dozen guards, and led Huang Zhong and Huang Xu to Yangzhai first.
Not long after Huang Zhong left, a horse rushed over to say goodbye.
"The messenger of the Son of Heaven has arrived in Yangzhai! He is now waiting for Captain Huben in Yangzhai. ”
Receiving this news, Liu Fan was silent for a moment.
Liu Fan knew that the famous general Lu Zhi would be tied back to Luoyang for offending the angel and imprisoned for life. If it weren't for the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song interceded for him, and Lu Zhi would never have turned over.
"It seems that I'm going to take power by taking advantage of the situation, and I'm going to have a right and a left." Liu Fan muttered to himself.
Liu Fan is very contradictory, he admires those who walk upright, but he can't be like them. He has to be able to bend and stretch, and he has to take responsibility for himself when he comes into this world.
Be far-sighted, always judge the situation, and not be rash.
"Someone, order Xu Huang to come and see me." Liu Fan instructed the guards beside him.
After a while, Xu Huang was called over.
"The envoy of the Son of Heaven has arrived in Yangzhai, in order not to fall behind, I will rush back to Yangzhai tomorrow. Gongming, you stay and garrison Wuyang and Kunyang. Now there are 80,000 Yellow Turbans who have surrendered, and you pick 3,000, plus the remaining 1,000 infantry. There are more than 4,000 elite soldiers. Liu Fan said to Xu Huang.
The 4,000 elite soldiers stationed in Wuyang and Kunyang were not to guard against the Nanyang Yellow Turbans, but to march towards Nanyang in order to strengthen the soldiers and horses.
"No!" Xu Huang commanded.
Now there are 1,000 cavalry left in Changshe, 2,000 infantry in Yangzhai, 500 infantry in Jiaxian, Xiangcheng, Yuncheng and Linying, and 4,000 infantry in Wuyang and Kunyang. With the addition of a thousand cavalry around him, the soldiers and horses around Liu Fan have reached 10,000.
The newly recruited 5,000 Yellow Turbans were all selected from the 120,000 Yellow Turbans, and as long as they underwent rigorous training, they were all elite soldiers.
On this day, Cao Cao brought his 5,000 soldiers and horses and the surrendered Yellow Turban to join Liu Fan, and the Yellow Turbans on both sides were all assembled.
After Liu Fan explained the situation to Cao Cao, another day, Liu Fan ordered 80,000 people to surrender and the yellow scarves were ready to go. Liu Fan and Guan Yu brought their own 1,000 cavalry, and Cao Cao brought his 5,000 soldiers and horses. Mightily approaching the north.
Three days later, the army came to the outside of Yangzhai City. All the centaurs were stationed outside the city.
Just when Liu Fan and Cao Cao were about to enter the city to meet the messenger of the Son of Heaven, the messenger of the Son of Heaven left Yangzhai City by himself.
This time, the envoy sent by Liu Hong was still Jiang Ji, Jiang Ji admired Liu Fan very much, and heard that after Liu Fan returned to Yangzhai, he personally took a few little eunuchs and Yu Linwei out of the city to greet Liu Fan.
"Liu Jun is really a brave and good tiger general, and he pacified the Yingchuan Yellow Turban in just half a month, which is gratifying." When Jiang saw Liu Fan, he congratulated Liu Fan.
"Where, where, the credit lies with the soldiers and Your Majesty, if it is not for Your Majesty's trust, the soldiers have no chance to make contributions at all. If it weren't for the soldiers, how could the Yellow Turban be pacified so quickly. I'm just doing a little bit of work. Liu Fan said forcefully, and gave the credit to Liu Hong and the soldiers.
Don't take credit, let alone be proud.
After hearing Liu Fan's words, the knight behind him was moved. The generals are like this, what else do they ask for?
After Jiang Ji heard Liu Fan's words, he scolded those corpses in the court in his heart, where did Liu Jun's loyalty to His Majesty come from.
Cao Cao said secretly: Liu Shimin killed two birds with one stone, not only bought people's hearts, but also complimented the Son of Heaven.
It's just that Cao Cao doesn't understand why this little yellow door is so respectful to Liu Fan. Didn't these eunuchs always have their nostrils facing the sky when they were working for the Son of Heaven outside?
"Liu Jun, there are many unfavorable words in the court, and many people say that you only take prisoners and do not kill traitors. What's more, you say that you have a disobedient heart. Jiang said softly, Liu Fan said.
Liu Fan and Cao Cao's faces changed.
The big trees that rise above the forest are always blown down by the strong wind. People with outstanding talents and conduct are the most susceptible to envy and blame.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
"What a lie! I, Liu Fan, pacified the Yingchuan Yellow Turban for His Majesty, and the horses were handsome, and there was no day to stop. Thousands of miles away, they didn't know about it, and they made false accusations against me, which is really hurtful. Could it be that this is a lesson from the past? Liu Fan said as he took off his helmet and wanted to take off his armor.
"What is Liu Jun doing?" Jiang immediately hurriedly stopped Liu Fan.
"Don't dare to disobey the king's orders! I am willing to take off my armor, take out the seal, and go to Luoyang to plead guilty. Liu Fan said sadly.
Guan Yu and his cavalry suddenly grabbed their weapons, obviously influenced by Liu Fan's emotions.
The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself.
The king is on the golden platform, and he carries the jade dragon to die for the king.
In order to repay the king's gratitude, he did not hesitate to die. As long as Liu Fan gave an order, the thousand horsemen behind him dared to rush to the palace.
"Liu Jun is not in a hurry, Your Majesty still believes in you very much, so you let our family come to Yingchuan to investigate, and wait for our family to go back and report to Your Majesty truthfully? so that the false accusations may be self-defeating. Jiang said calmly.
"I'm tired of the angels, Liu Fan doesn't hesitate to die, he only hates that the world is not peaceful, and the traitors are not pacified! I can't share your Majesty's worries. Liu Fan stopped his actions and looked loyal.
The tone of voice is sad to listen to, and the listener is in tears.
"Liu Jun is really His Majesty's assistant minister, if Liu Jun stands on His Majesty's left and right, he is worth 10,000 people in the court." Jiang Ji raised his sleeves and said while wiping his tears.
Eunuchs can't get close to women, they only cherish power and wealth, the former must rely on Liu Hong, and the latter indirectly also rely on Liu Hong. Therefore, most of the eunuchs were loyal to the emperor. Of course, there are some virtuous people in most of them, and Lu Qiang, one of the current ten permanent servants, has directly admonished Liu Hong, and he has no obvious immorality.
The people of the world deeply hate the ten permanent servants. When mentioning the ten permanent servants, the word eunuch will be added.
The white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black with it. Only one of the twelve people is not a traitor, and when he is not too dazzling, the people of the world instinctively ignore him.
