In the Jiade Hall of Luoyang City, the imperial capital, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt on the ground, Liu Hong sat on the imperial chair, he stared at the thick bamboo slips on several cases, and his eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire.

"Waste, all are waste" Liu Hong trembled and roared hysterically, he didn't expect the Yellow Turban Army led by Taiping Dao to develop to such an extent, the state and county were lost, the officials fled, and the thieves and soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang.

The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more angry he became, and swept the bamboo slips on several cases to the ground, and no one dared to speak out among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. After this toss, Liu Hong, who was already in poor health, sat on the imperial chair and gasped for breath. "Tell the widow anything else"

"Your Majesty, Qingzhou Mu Jiaohe was killed by the Yellow Turban Army!" He Jin knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

"What?" Liu Hong's body, which had not yet sat firmly, stood up again, pointed at He Jin with trembling fingers, and coughed violently, "You, say it again"

He Jin didn't dare to continue, Liu Hong sat back with a paralyzed body, coughing violently, making his whole face a little distorted, Jiao He died? It also means that Qingzhou has been lost, which is a great shame for the Han Empire for a hundred years, Liu Hong stood up, walked around, and kicked over several cases in front of him with the last kick, and after the anger, Liu Hong began to calm down.

Liu Hong returned to the imperial chair again, looking at the forbidden ministers in the main hall, Liu Hong said gloomily, "Get up" Liu Hong continued to He Jin: "The top priority is how to pacify these chaotic people, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

He Jin got up and said, "Today's thief army is strong, Zhang Jiao calls himself the general of Tiangong, unites the Taiping Daoists in various states to make chaos, and it is unstoppable to kill officials and seize the city, and the minister suggests that the left Zhonglang will immediately let Huangfu Song, and the right Zhonglang will lead Zhu Jun to lead Yingyang, Tiebi, Longxiang, Huben, Sanyi and Sanhe Knights to suppress the Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan Bocai, and in addition, Lu Zhi of Wenjing Academy will be the general of Beizhong Lang and the general of Huwu Zhonglang will be the commander of the Tun Cavalry, Shooting, Changshui, Infantry, and the five battalions of Yue Cavalry will attack the troops of Zhangjiao in Jizhou."

Liu Hong nodded and looked at the palace, seeing Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Liu Hong smiled at the corner of his mouth, how could he forget that there are still these three people in the Han Dynasty, the three heroes of the empire, Huang Fu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, these three people are the most capable of leading the army in the empire today. Liu Hong smiled and said to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, "Two Aiqing, are you willing to lead the troops to the battle?" ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun stood together at this moment, and after listening to Liu Hong's words, the two hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and said loudly, "The ministers are willing to go"

"That's very good," Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction. At this time, He Jin said again, "Your Majesty has one more thing, the number of thieves is far more than the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the minister suggested that all prefectures and counties should recruit righteous soldiers on their own to kill thieves and make meritorious contributions."

As soon as He Jin's words came out, the whole court was in an uproar, and one person came out of the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

Everyone looked over, only to see a young official from the last position of the main hall, many people did not know who this person was, above the court of the Han Empire, the ministers were arranged according to their ranks, and standing at the back of the main hall procession, it was just a small official, but Liu Hong knew his name. Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, the palace order is an official in charge of the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and mud sealing of the Son of Heaven, which is under the jurisdiction of Shaofu.

Xun Yu from Yingchuan Xun, the ancestor of the Xun family is the famous Xunzi, Xunzi Warring States period Xunzi has long served as the elder of the Qi State Jixia Palace, in Confucianism has its own faction, majoring in the royal road, but also in Mount Tai of the bold words: from the sky and praise, it is better to make the mandate of heaven and use it.

Xunzi's two disciples are also famous for later generations, one Han Fei and one Li Si.

And this Xun Yu is not simple, he has been talented since he was a child, in the past, there was a scholar Nanyang He Hao saw the young Xun Yu and exclaimed, "This son will be Wang Zuozhicai in the future", He Hao's words made Xun Yu who was still a minor famous, but after Xun Yu converged his edge, few people now know that Xun Yu actually went to Luoyang, the imperial capital, and made a small palace order.

Liu Hong has also heard these rumors, so he deliberately recruited Xun Yu to his side, these days of contact, let Liu Hong believe that this Xun Yu is indeed very talented, Xun Yu is lacking now is qualifications and experience, Liu Hong didn't know why Xun Yu wanted to oppose He Jin in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, so he asked in a deep voice, "Xun Yu, tell me, what's wrong?" ”

"Xun Yu?" The ministers in the hall were all a little surprised when they heard Liu Hong say the name of the young man in front of them. Everyone carefully looked at the young man in front of them.

Xun Yu said with a calm expression, "If the volunteers are recruited from all over the country, after the thieves are destroyed, the state pastors in various places will support the soldiers and respect themselves, and the country will not be a country."

He Jin snorted heavily and said, "The milk stink has not dried up, and it is also worthy of talking about national politics?" Without the recruitment of rebels, the war would have been protracted. Do you have a better way? ”

Xun Yu looked at He Jin and said in a deep voice, "Not yet"

"Haha"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all laughed, and He Jin laughed even more, pointing at Xun Yu with his finger and saying, "Boy, boy, where do you think this is?" ”

Liu Hong frowned, and finally sighed, "Xun Yu, you step back first."

Xun Yu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally bowed and returned to the train. Cao Cao, as the cavalry lieutenant of the General's Mansion, was also fortunate to participate in this court meeting, he stood at the back of the line, looked at Xun Yu's somewhat emaciated back, and said to himself, "This person is a little interesting."

Liu Hong covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, and there was some red blood in the handkerchief. Liu Hong frowned and said, "According to what He Jin said, in addition, He Jin, you personally led the soldiers of Yulin and the five battalions to garrison in Luoyang Duting, increased the ordnance, defended the Beijing Division, and set up Du Wei to lead troops to guard at eight checkpoints such as Yougu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Tin Yuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin."

"Commanded by Ministers"

The ministers knelt on the ground and the mountain was long lived.

Cao Cao followed He Jin and the others out of the court, He Jin and Yuan Shao walked in front to discuss the yellow scarf, and Cao Cao looked left and right absentmindedly.

At this time, He Jin suddenly turned around and said, "Meng De, you lead a team of soldiers and horses and the left and right Zhonglang generals to go out together."

"Me? What am I going to do? Cao Cao asked suspiciously,

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Don't you kid like this fight, kill and kill, I finally asked the general for this errand, if you don't go, I can go."

"Don't, don't, I'll go" Cao Cao hurriedly said, "If something happens to you, your old man won't have to eat the general!" ”

He Jin and Yuan Shao laughed, Cao Cao suddenly saw an emaciated figure, Cao Cao said to He Jin and Yuan Shao, "General, Meng De retired first" Without waiting for the two to answer, Cao Cao had already run away.

He Jin shook his head and said, "This Cao Mengde."

The emaciated figure that Cao Cao saw was Xun Yu, at this time Xun Yu was walking alone with his head down, Cao Cao patted Xun Yu from behind, Xun Yu turned around, looked at Cao Cao who was standing behind him and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Under Cao Cao, Cao Mengde"

Xun Yu said abruptly: "It turns out that you are Cao Mengde!" ”

Cao Cao scratched his head and said, "It seems that I'm really notorious."

Xun Yu said with a smile, "There, there, Cao Duwei is not afraid of the scepter to kill the plot, but it is a very happy thing."

Cao Cao and Xun Yu walked side by side, Cao Cao said, "In the past, some people said that you were Wang Zuozhicai, and today when I see Xun Gongzi, I really deserve these four words"

Xun Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's just a warlock in the rivers and lakes, it can't be true, Cao Duwei, is there anything to find me?" ”

Cao Cao Zhengse said, "The words of the prince above the hall made the subordinates thunderous, but they didn't understand that recruiting rebels really had such serious consequences?" ”

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao and asked, "Did Captain Cao ask by himself, or on behalf of the general?" ”

Cao Cao Zhengse said, "Of course I'm under myself"

Xun Yu stared at Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao was very surprised, few people dared to look directly into his gaze like this. After a long time, Xun Yu finally turned his head, the breeze blew, blowing the long hair in front of Xun Yu's forehead, Xun Yu did not answer Cao Cao's question, but said in a low voice, "Those who mess with the world, He Jin also"

Xun Yu stopped talking after speaking, Cao Cao was silent, the two stood here quietly, and Cao Cao opened his mouth for a long time and said, "It's an honor for Xun Gongzi to be able to say these words to Cao, and he will go on an expedition with the two Zhonglang generals tomorrow, and he will meet again one day." ”

Xun Yu smiled at Cao Cao, this Cao Cao suddenly appeared in front of him, but he said something to Cao Cao that was enough to be killed, Xun Yu was not worried that Cao Cao would relay these words to He Jin, because he was gambling, betting that Cao Cao was not the kind of capricious villain, and it was honored that he bet right.

Although Cao Cao didn't say it explicitly, Xun Yu knew that this Cao Cao was not simple.

In March of the first year of Zhongping in the Han Empire, the left middle lang general Huangfu Song, the right middle lang general Zhu Jun, and the cavalry captain Cao Cao waved his army to the expedition.

In the autumn room of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Jue, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng sat in the house, and the dim candle flame was a little flickering, reflecting on the faces of several people, making these people look a little terrifying.

Zhang Rang frowned and looked at the two vacant seats, one was Feng Zhen's seat, Feng Zhen had been broken by the car because of the Taiping Road incident. And the other seat is Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang is a little worried, this Jian Shuo is more and more detached from them.

Zhang asked a few more people to sit on the inspection, coughed dryly and said, "Everyone, because of the matter of the seal, we have all been more or less implicated, this fool, don't put a good glory and wealth, you have to go to see some great sage and good teacher, hey, this seal has pushed us all to the forefront"

Duan Jue knocked on the table and said, "Yes, this idiot, I really don't understand"

After a few people chatted for a while, Zhang Rang said with a gloomy face, "Now the yellow scarves are everywhere, the people are complaining, and we are on the cusp, today I call everyone to tell everyone, be smart, don't mess around at this time, otherwise we will become the target of the public."

Everyone nodded in agreement, these people are all smart people, Zhang Rang's words made everyone understand that their current situation is indeed very worrying.

After several permanent attendants reached a consensus, they dispersed one after another, Zhang Rang looked at the empty autumn room, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, now the backer of several of them in the palace is Queen He Hua, and Jian Shuo is now very close to the Empress Dowager Dong, as we all know, Empress He and the Empress Dowager Dong have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time because of the matter of establishing the prince, no matter how you look at it, this Jian Shuo will stand on the opposite side of them, alas, after all, one will die, Zhang Rang thought so......
