Suddenly, a thunderous voice sounded outside the window: "Lord, urgent military situation!" ”

Jin Liang jumped up from the bed, dressed neatly, and came outside the room and said, "Evil, what's wrong?" ”

Dian Wei pointed to a soldier who fell to the ground covered in blood and said: "Thirty-eight Jizhou family rebels joined forces in Julu and broke through Julu City, Julu County Lieutenant Li Feng died in battle, and the Jizhou family rebels broke through Handan, the capital of Zhao State, Zhao Guoguo Captain Xue Lan's life and death are uncertain, this is the messenger sent by Xue Guowei, broke out of the siege of the rebels, was hit by three arrows, and when he told us the military situation, he had lost too much blood and died!" ”

Jin Liang hurriedly ordered someone to move the messenger's body out for cremation, and he hurried to the Military Affairs Yuan, where the meeting hall was already full, except for those on duty to defend, other senior generals and strategists came to the Military Affairs Yuan.

Jin Liang asked Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 horses to Handan, if he could save Xue Lan, he would save it, and if he couldn't save it, he would have to block the vanguard of the family coming to Xiangyang.

Afterwards, Jin Liang's face sank like water, and he asked Fu Zhi, who was in charge of the central dispatch: "These thirty-eight Jizhou families originally took care of their own interests and rushed to Xiangyang, and our central army can be broken individually, why are they joining forces now?!" What the hell went wrong there?! ”

Fu Zhu was silent for a while, looked at Tian Feng, who was sitting on the side with a blue face, and then looked up at Jin Liang's sharp eyes, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Lord, it should be that Hua Xiong and Cao Xing went wrong when they led the troops to ambush the thirteenth family, and they were seen by other families!" ”

Jin Liang looked at the frustrated eyes and Tian Feng's face, and sneered: "Then the thirteenth family won't be the Julu Tian family, right?!" ”

Tian Feng knelt down in front of Jin Liang and said: "Lord, the humble brother Tian Yu rebelled, but there is no way to govern the family with a humble position, please surrender the lord!" ”

Although Tian Feng is the head of the Tian family, he is a person in the Xiangyang Imperial Court as a royal historian, and he participates in the military and political affairs of the Central Army, and is very busy, so the elders of the Tian family let Tian Feng's righteous brother Tian Yu to take care of the Tian family's family affairs, so that Tian Feng is only the head of the Tian family on the surface, but Tian Yu, who is white but good at pleasing the old immortal elders of the Tian family, has the real power of the Tian family.

Because of Tian Feng's relationship, the Central Army did not suppress the Tian family too much, and it stands to reason that the Tian family should not be involved in this rebellion, but Tian Yu is unwilling to be trapped in family affairs for the rest of his life, and he also wants to be a high-ranking official.

Tian Yu once proposed to his brother Tian Feng to let Jin Liang recommend him as an official, Tian Feng was upright by nature, he felt that although this righteous brother was familiar with mundane affairs but his mind was not right, he sternly refused, Tian Yu has held a grudge against Tian Feng since then, he always feels that with Tian Feng, he will never want to have a future in his life.

This time, Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others colluded around Jizhou, and made an appointment to push and overturn Jin Liang's rule together, because they took into account Tian Feng, they didn't believe Tian Yu at all, and they didn't notify Tian Yu at all, it was Tian Yu who inadvertently noticed that another family in Julu County had such a move, Tian Yu suddenly thought that it was possible to take refuge in Yang Biao and others to make himself among the three princes and nine kings of the court, so he took the initiative to send someone to contact Zheng Tai, Zheng Tai saw that Tian Yu meant it, so he coincided with him.

Jin Liang stared at Tian Feng coldly and said: "The children of the Tian family followed Yang Biao and Zheng Tai rebelled against the thieves, as the head of the Tian family, you have the unshirkable responsibility, you will be reduced to serve the imperial history, temporarily replace the responsibility of the imperial history, punish you with a year's salary, allow you to make meritorious contributions, and eliminate the evil consequences of Tian Yu's rebellion, otherwise your giant deer Tian family will disappear from now on!" ”

Although Tian Feng is upright, sometimes he commits crimes, but he understands that there is no hesitation in the major issues of right and wrong, so he readily accepts the punishment, he hopes that through his own loyalty, through his own active compensation, to help the Julu Tian family eliminate the catastrophe.

After Jin Liangfa lost Tian Feng, he searched for Hua Xiong and Cao Xing in the crowd, but there was no trace of them.

Fu Zhi pointed to the door and said, "Lord, Hua Xiong and Cao Xing are kneeling outside the door, bearing the guilt of Jing Pleas. ”

"Guilt?! Hmph, it is clear that he wants Ben Hou to forgive their mistakes," Jin Liang snorted coldly: "Let them get in and explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, Ben Hou wants to see how much of a mistake they have made?!" ”

Hua Xiong and Cao Xing both bare their chests and backs, with thorns tied to their bodies, walked to the council hall on their knees step by step.

Jin Liang looked at them coldly, and saw that they were all kneeling there with a sad face, as if they were waiting to be slaughtered, Jin Liang was a little unbearable, shook his head and sighed: "Tell me, what mistakes have you made?!" ”

Hua Xiong and Cao Xing said in unison: "The last general should not hesitate because Tian Yu is the righteous brother of Tanaka Cheng, it is too late to act, more than half of Tian Yu's men and horses escaped from the ambush circle, and Tian Yu also had to escape, and several other family rebels were in the water to join forces, and the last general chased after him, but was repelled by the family rebels." The last general now thinks about it, the thirty-eight families joined forces in one place, presumably Tian Yu ran from it, because of the last general's hesitation, Julu and Handan fell, Li Feng and Xue Lan were killed, and the last general was ashamed! ”

Jin Liang slapped the table and said, "You guys are too brief, report in detail!" ”

Because Jin Liang has always been kind to his subordinates, Hua Xiong and Cao Xing rarely see Jin Liang angry, Jin Liang suddenly became angry, but he was much more majestic than usual, although Hua Xiong and Cao Xuan were both generals in the army who had been fighting on the battlefield for several years, they couldn't help but shudder when they saw Jin Liang, and told all the things that happened two days ago.

At that time, Cao Xing and Hua Xiong led 8,000 men and horses to ambush the thirteenth rebel army of the family who came to Xiangyang.

When they started to set up the ambush, they didn't get the detailed information of the thirteenth family, but when they set up the ambush, they got the details of the thirteenth family, which turned out to be the Julu Tian family, the family of Lord Cheng Tian Feng in the imperial history, and the leader was Tian Fengyi's brother Tian Yu.

Although Hua Xiong and Cao Xing are all martial artists, they are not the slightest bit of a powerful puppet who does not know how to govern, if they destroy Tian Yu in three times and divide five by two, they will offend Tian Feng, Tian Feng is the middle of the imperial history, and he is in charge of supervising the power, and it will not be good to impeach him when the time comes, and the two discussed for a long time before deciding to send someone to Xiangyang to inform the lord Jin Liang and make a decision by the lord.

But Jin Liang went to Cai Taishi's mansion to find Cai Yan at that time, and the people sent by Huaxiong Cao Xing couldn't find Jin Liang, so they had to report to the Military Affairs Institute where Fu Zhu and Tian Feng were in charge, and somehow, it took a long time for the Military Affairs Yuan to issue an order to approve the ambush, and when Hua Xiong and Cao Xuan received the order, the opportunity had been missed, and Tian Yu had already led the Tian family soldiers to cross the ambush circle. …，

Hua Xiong and Cao Xing saw that Tian Yu's men and horses were getting closer and closer to Xiangyang, so they had to withdraw from the ambush circle and carry out a frontal attack, Tian Yu had more than 5,000 people and horses, if they were ambushed by Hua Xiong and Cao Xing, they could all be wiped out, but the two armies fought head-on, Tian Yu's 5,000 men and horses could not beat Huaxiong Cao Xing's 8,000 men and horses, but they could retreat while fighting, and they withdrew to the shore of Chengshui, and were received by several other family rebels, Hua Xiong and Cao Xing could not reach the other party's 30,000 men and horses, and were forced to withdraw to Xiangyang.

Jin Liang listened to Hua Xiong and Cao Xing explain the situation in detail, thought for a while, stared at the frustration with a fierce gaze that gradually became restrained, and sneered: "They said that it is not allowed, it took a long time for the Military Affairs Yuan to issue an order to approve the ambush, and the military situation is like fire, Ben Hou is really curious about what it is for, and you will delay the order?" ”

Jin Liang's sharp eyes seemed to go straight to the bottom of his heart, and he knelt down and bowed down: "It's the humble position that sees that Tian Yuanhao is caught in the middle and is difficult to become, so he has the heart to help Tian Yuanhao and help him preserve the strength of the family, so he was confused for a moment and postponed the order." Originally, I thought that I would just let go of the Tian family, and it would not affect the lord to suppress the traitors of other families, but who knew that it would be such a big mistake, and the crime of despicability deserved death! ”

Jin Liang couldn't help shaking his head, and couldn't hide his deep disappointment: "As long as you and Yuan Hao are loyal to Benhou, how can Benhou treat you badly, and how can he be angry with you because of the actions of some black sheep in your family!" However, if you let you go, how can you be worthy of those dead soldiers and how can you explain to hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the Central Army? ”

Frustrated, he was so ashamed that he had no place to stay, and bowed down - in the ground: "Despicable capital crimes, please send the lord down!" ”

Jin Liang looked around at the generals and strategists present and said, "How to punish the frustrated minister, Ben Hou wants to hear everyone's opinions?" ”

Tian Fengteng, who was originally kneeling on the ground, stood up and said loudly: "Lord, there is nothing wrong with the princess, the cause is all mine, please add the sin to me and forgive the lord." Moreover, although Gonghe had selfish intentions and delayed the order to ambush, this wrong move was not at all the real reason for the traitors of the family to join forces, and you should not blame Gonghe for this! ”

Jin Liang showed a hint of approval on his face and said: "Yuan Hao, tell me, why did those traitors of the family who were originally intrigued-heart-fight-horns join forces?" ”

Tian Feng frowned and said: "My lord, I can't think of why those rebellious families joined forces, but I know that the duke and the postponement of the order are not the fundamental reason for the family to join forces this time,!" A day and a half ago, Tian Yu learned that there was an ambush by our army, he fled to Julu, contacted the families everywhere, and then gathered the family together, attacked Julu City, and then attacked Handan City, even if there was a rebellion of the family in Julu and Handan City, it would take ten days for the family alliance to do all this. ”

Dong Zhao also nodded and said: "Lord, Yuan Hao is very right, the reason why those rebel families joined forces together should be that they saw through our strategy of luring the enemy deep into each one ten days ago.

Jin Liang nodded in affirmation of Tian Feng and Dong Zhao's inference, but he quickly found a problem and said, "Then how do you explain that Tian Yu of the Julu Tian family will go to Xiangyang alone two days ago?" ”

Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "Inferring from the humble position, because the humble position is under the command of the lord, those rebel families are not convinced of Tian Yu, they saw through the lord's strategy, but they did not tell Tian Yu, that is, let Tian Yu be the pawn, and try to see if the lord really has a strategy to lure the enemy into various breakthroughs." ”

The frustrated professor who knelt on the ground said sadly: "Don't hide it from the lord, the family that came to pick up Tian Yu is the lowly family, and our Guangping frustrated family also has a black sheep, it is the lowly brother of the frustrated family, the frustrated brother Frustration was elected by the frustrated family elders to deal with the family affairs in place of the lowly position, he is not enough to swallow the elephant, and he wants to rely on those rebel families to get the official position of the court for himself, but he hates him for being stupid and used as a gun by those rebellious families!"

Jin Liang glanced at Tian Feng and Fu Zhi coldly, he really couldn't think of it. He trusted these two great strategists so much, and their family actually participated in a rebellion against him, how could such a family make him trust these two people again.

Those military generals and strategists from humble backgrounds. For example, Huang Zhong, Jia Xu and others all looked at Tian Feng and Fu Zhu coldly, they didn't like these family figures who followed the lord very much. After such a thing, they can not be trusted.

Hua Xiong and Cao Xing, who were kneeling on the ground, heard what they said, stood up suddenly, and roared angrily: "Lord, you can't let these two people take charge of the Military Affairs Yuan anymore, that is to send the lives of our Hanmen generals to the hands of the rebels of the family, and we will not dare to obey the military orders they issued in the future!" ”

Jin Liang snorted and said, "Since Tian Yu is a traitor, you should make a decision immediately." Take him down, if Tian Feng dares to retaliate against you afterwards, you can tell Ben Hou, why do you have to ask the Military Affairs Yuan for fear of offending Tian Feng, as a general, don't you know that the military situation is like a fire and the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside! You don't want to shirk your own faults! ”

Hua Xiong and Cao Xing originally thought that all these mistakes could be blamed on Fu Zhi and Tian Feng, but Jin Liang's words broke their weakness. I had to bow down and kneel down in frustration, waiting for Jin Liang's fall.

Jin Liang was thinking about how to get rid of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Hua Xiong, and Cao Xing, Guo Jia hurriedly walked into the conference hall, walked up to Jin Liang, and whispered, "Lord." Jung Tae was rescued by his doorman! ”

"What?!" This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, Jin Liang was shocked, he knew too well Zheng Tai's incendiary ability, if Zheng Tai hadn't fanned the flames from it, this Xiangyang civil strife would not have happened, if Zheng Tai ran to the rebel camp of the Jizhou family on the 38th Road, it would not be easy for the Jizhou civil strife to be quelled, he hurriedly asked: "Isn't he locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department?!" It's tightly guarded, why did those doormen get it?! ”

Guo Jia sighed: "Just now, the lowly position noticed that the strategy we had formulated in advance to lure the enemy into various breakthroughs was seen through by the thirty-eight family rebels, and wondered if there was a fish in Xiangyang who ran through the net to tell the family rebels, so he went to the prison of the Criminal Department, ready to interrogate Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others, to see if they could ask something from their mouths, when the lowly interrogation of Zheng Tai, but found that although Zheng Tai in front of him looked similar, he had no scars on his mouth, and the real Zheng Tai was ordered by Tian Yuanhao to slap his mouth during the trial of the three halls, The teeth in his mouth were all shattered, the flesh and blood on his mouth were blurred, and it was impossible to recover without scars in ten days. ”

Jin Liang asked, "Then how can you be sure that it was Zheng Tai's protégé who rescued him?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Seeing that the prison of the Criminal Department is tightly guarded, Zheng Tai can escape from here, he must have bought off the guards inside, so he hurriedly asked people to look at all the guards in the prison of the Criminal Department, and investigated them one by one, and sure enough, it was found that two of the guards accepted bribes from Zheng Tai's doormen, and let Zheng Tai's doormen enter the prison to meet Zheng Tai, and Zheng Tai's doormen used Li Daitao's strategy to replace Zheng Tai with a good doorman, and then sent Zheng Tai away secretly. ”

Jin Liang frowned, thought about it carefully, and then asked, "How did Zheng Tai's disciple enter the prison of the Criminal Department?" Ben Hou remembered that the guards at the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department were transferred by our Central Army, and it was impossible for some strangers to enter. ”

Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "My lord, what you asked is that it was Shang Zheng Hun of the Ministry of Industry who brought Zheng Taimen into the prison of the Criminal Department, he said that he wanted to go in to visit his brother, and the guard at the door knew that Zheng Hun was loyal to the lord and wanted to fulfill Zheng Hun's brotherhood, so he didn't stop him, who knew that Zheng Hun actually went to save his brother from prison." ”

At this point, Jin Liang could only hope that Zheng Tai had just escaped from prison, and did not take refuge in the thirty-eight Jizhou rebels: "Fengxiao, how long did it take for Zheng Tai to escape from prison?" ”

Guo Jia said astringently: "On the night of the second day when he was tried and tortured by the third division, Zheng Hun was persuaded by Zheng Tai's disciples to come to the prison to rescue Zheng Tai, and as of today, it has been twelve days. ”

"Twelve days?!" Jin Liang was suddenly shocked and said: "Could it be that the thirty-eight rebel families in Jizhou were instigated by Zheng Tai?!" ”

"He interrogated Zheng Hun just now, and he said that his brother swore by himself that he would never rebel again, so he agreed to personally escort his brother out of the city," Guo Jia sighed: "Poor Zheng Hun still can't see through the true face of his brother Zheng Tai, what kind of etiquette and shame can that person talk about in order to protect the interests of the family?" ”

Jin Liang can basically conclude by now that it was the damned Zheng Tai who escaped from Xiangyang and went to persuade the thirty-eight families in Jizhou to abandon their previous suspicions, join forces in one place, and capture Julu and Handan.

Jin Liang couldn't suppress his resentment, and slammed the table and said, "Come on, behead Zheng Hun and destroy the Zheng family in Xingyang!" ”

Before Jin Liang's order was officially issued, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and other civil and military generals all bowed down and bowed: "Lord, please take back your order, Zheng Shang is a great talent, don't kill!" ”

Jin Liang shouted angrily: "The 38th Jizhou family rebel army must be Zheng Tai's traitors from it, it is precisely because of the gathering of the rebels that Julu and Handan will fall, and Li Feng will be killed, all because Zheng Hun ignores the fundamental righteousness of our Central Army for the sake of brotherly love, so that our Central Army has suffered a heavy blow because of the private abolition of the public, you actually protect him!" ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and said: "Lord, Zheng Hun made such a mistake, we shouldn't have interceded for him, but remembering that since Zheng Hun took charge of the Armaments Department, he has made great contributions in improving the texture of steel weapons and armor, and in improving the thunderbolt car, bow and crossbow, chariot and other war weapons. In vain, the relatives are painful and the enemies are happy! ”

Jia Xu also arched his hand and said: "Lord, if it is a person who completely betrays the friendship of his brothers, he will betray his flesh and blood for fame today, and he will also betray his lord for greater interests tomorrow, such a talent cannot be reused, and Zheng Hun is willing to take risks to save his brother, this person is more worthy of the trust of the lord, Zheng Hun is loyal, I didn't expect Zheng Tai's cunning, things have come to this point, although because of Zheng Hun's fault, Zheng Hun should not bear the disaster of cutting off his head and destroying the door, please think twice!" ”

Jin Liang coldly glanced at the generals in front of him, and finally calmed down the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, for the sake of his great talent and great achievements, and now it is the time to employ people, Ben Hou will spare his life for the time being, but his mistakes must be punished, otherwise how can I explain to hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Central Army, and how can I explain to Li Feng and other soldiers who died!" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and asked, "Lord, how are you going to punish Zheng Hun?!" ”

Jin Liang pointed at Tian Feng and said: "Although Zheng Hun's guilt is heavier than theirs, the crime is similar, in a word, because of private abolition of the public, because of petty love and righteousness!" It seems that they have not forgotten the interests of their own small family, nor have they always cared about the interests of our common Central Army.

The Zheng family's fields and property in Xingyang were all confiscated, and a 100-acre field was selected for Zheng Hun around Xiangyang, and Zheng Hun's immediate family members were resettled.

In addition, half of the remaining property of the Tian family and the Fu family was confiscated, Tian Feng was demoted to serve the imperial history, and Fu was demoted to the division headquarters to join the army, and both of them were fined for one year. ”

After Jin Liang finished announcing, he thought that he couldn't let these three people who were originally loyal to him be too chilling, so he said: "Only the three of them can continue to be loyal to their duties in the future, don't commit such a crime of abolishing the public for private purposes again, and make meritorious contributions, Ben Hou will never be stingy with rewards, Xingyang Zheng family is gone, Xiangyang Zheng family will also be revived, as long as the Julu Tian family and Guangping Fu family can follow Ben Hou wholeheartedly in the future, Ben Hou promises not only to let them restore their family business, but even make their family business better than in the past." ”

Jin Liang's words were loud, so that the civil and military generals present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they just heard Jin Liang deal with Zheng Hun, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu so harshly, they thought that they would make mistakes in the future, and the lord guild would not weaken his family like that, and now it seems that the lord is just talking about things, and he is not deliberately weakening any family.

Jin Liang quietly watched the expressions of the civil and military generals present, and he knew that if he let those family talents who followed him see that they were bent on suppressing the family and not conveying benefits to their family, they would not be loyal to him for long.
