Chapter 15: Above the Temple

Ever since Du Zhan's recital and Gao Ye's letter were sent to Ding Yuan's desk, Ding Yuan had never felt so big. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, from Ding Yuan's heart, he also agreed with Lu Bu sending troops. Why is it that the people under my rule are not allowed to take revenge after such a calamity? But really, his assassin really doesn't have the right to let the army enter foreign territory.

Don't look at Ding Yuan's current history of assassination in a state, but the history of assassination at this time is very different from the history of assassination after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although compared with the Western Han Dynasty, the power of the assassin at this time gradually expanded. There are only 12 people in the official position of the assassin history, a total of 13 states in the Han Dynasty, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, Jiaozhou, each of the twelve states has one person, and the remaining state is the division, not the history of the assassination, but the division of the school captain. The state has a great right to assassinate the history, and it is more common for the assassin to lead the troops to fight, and the matter of the assassination does not have to be verified by the officials appointed by the three dukes, so the county guards and county orders in various places are quite afraid of it, and there are even things that are dismissed and abandoned because of the fear of the assassination history. But no matter how great the power is, there is no right to send troops to fight across the border without permission, and the troops go out of the grassland to take revenge on the Xiongnu, the difference between peaceful rebellion and defending the territory is too great, and everyone in the DPRK and China has always had a positive attitude towards counterinsurgency, as for foreigners, as long as they submit, a little friction will not be cared about.

Besides, now the Ten Standing Servants and the Great General are incompatible, and Lu Bu's private dispatch of troops just gave the Ten Standing Servants a good opportunity to make a black hand. Moreover, in the letter, Du Zan even impeached Lu Bu for sending troops without permission, what is the reason!

However, Gao Ye's letter made Ding Yuan feel a lot more relieved, at least he only had to think about it to understand that Du Zan didn't really want to trouble Lu Bu. In the end, it is a person who has done the history of a state assassin, how can he not understand such a simple truth? He said bad things, didn't he just ask Lu Bu to ask for more in addition to reporting, what's so difficult about this? Licking calves is something that everyone has!

Not only do you have to cry like the emperor in the recital, but all your old friends should go to write a letter, let them help themselves, and help Lu Bu say good things together, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi can't let any of them go. The general also has to go to the letter, after all, Lu Bu returned from victory, and his general is also a long-faced meritorious service, so it's not too much to help himself say good things, right?

So when Lu Bu's army attacked the Xiongnu at night, Ding Yuan's 800-mile expedited was also put on the emperor's desk. Liu Hong watched Du Zhan's recital, and felt a strong dissatisfaction with the Huns in his heart. How can you say that your Xiongnu is still a subject country of my Han Dynasty, in previous years, you fought the grass valley, but this year you actually dared to attack the county seat! I don't take my big man seriously! Wuyuan County is full of holes, how much money does it take to appease these displaced people, and how much money does it take to repair Wuyuan? These Huns are really a group of wolf cubs who can't be raised!

Hmph, this Lu Bu is good, he knows how to go to the grassland to take revenge, and snatch the things of the Huns back again! Well, this Lu Bu I know, Ding Yuan's godson, he has a lot of military exploits in Wuyuan, and I also named him a broken general, although he is a miscellaneous general of the fifth grade, but this is also what he killed on the battlefield with a knife and a gun. Although his attack this time is not in accordance with the rules, he is reasonable! This governor is also confused, why impeach him, it's right to support him! I just don't know what the results of the battle will be, when there will be good news, but don't lose the soldiers and lose my Han Tianwei.

Liu Hong still frowned when he saw the twists and turns, after all, he was in a rebellion, and he couldn't help but allocate funds to Du Zan for disaster relief. Lu Bu went out to conquer outside the Saiwai, and he didn't know what the situation was now. This abominable Huns!

Zhang Rang, who was waiting on the side, saw that the emperor was worried, but he didn't know what was going on, but his eyes were good, and although he was standing behind the emperor, he also saw the folds clearly. Lu Bu sent troops privately? Okay, the general and I are in a hurry, and I just have an excuse to cut off He Jin and the state assassin Shi to help! Huh? I just don't know what His Majesty thinks of Lu Bu's matter, if you don't think it's okay? No, I have to think about it carefully, I can't offend Your Majesty if I offend anyone!

Zhang Rang was thinking nonsense in the back, but Liu Hong got up, Zhang Rang hurriedly followed, and said, "Your Majesty, it's already late at night, I don't know where Your Majesty is going to sleep tonight?" Whether to go to the queen, or to be fortunate to other concubines, slaves and maids can also be arranged. ”

The current queen is the sister of the general He Jin, Queen He. This Queen He has a stubborn and jealous personality, so the concubines and palace maids in the harem are not afraid of her. There is a Wang beauty in Liu Hong's harem who is pregnant, because she is afraid of Queen He, she even thinks of taking medicine to kill the fetus, in this era when mothers are more precious than children, especially when the royal heirs are not prosperous. How much of a ferocious arrogance does Queen He have to make a beautiful woman who is pregnant with a dragon think of having an abortion? It's just that what this Wang Meiren didn't expect was that she drank the abortion pill, but the fetus was stable. It is said that since then, this Wang Meiren has dreamed many times that she is walking with the sun on her back, thinking that this is a good omen, so she never wants to kill the fetus again. That's right, this Wang Meiren later gave birth to a son, who was the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

But when Queen He heard that Wang Meiren had given birth to a son, she was angry and sent someone to poison Wang Meiren with poisoned wine. Liu Hong was furious at that time and wanted to depose Queen He, but Queen He was very kind to these eunuchs and eunuchs on weekdays, and even Zhang Rang Duan Jue and others accepted her affection, so the eunuchs resolutely dissuaded him, and Liu Hong gave up. However, since then, Liu Hong has not been so lucky to treat Queen He.

Liu Hong shook his head and said, "The queen only went there yesterday, let's change it today, just call a few palace maids to come to the bed." Zhang Rang gave up his hand, so he went to let the little eunuchs arrange it, and he was still thinking about Lu Bu's private dispatch of troops, if such a thing is not to make a fuss, toss and toss He into the butcher, my Zhang Rang's head is to let the donkey kick!

The sun is rising in the east, and in the palace, the early dynasty has also begun. Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair, of course, there were no chairs in this era, and the rest of the ministers were kneeling on both sides. After some trivial things, Liu Hong said: "Zhuqing, yesterday and the state assassinated Shi Ding Yuan, sent 800 miles to me urgently, the Huns plundered, attacked my Wuyuan city pass, although it was repelled by the Taishou Governor Zhan, but the Wuyuan rule was in a mess, the people were killed and wounded, Ding Jianyang's account under the main book Lu Bu, privately soldiers out of the grassland, everyone, today will discuss this matter." General, you have seen the content of the 800-mile expeditious, and you will tell you about the situation of Wuyuan. ”

"Yesterday, Ding Jianyang came to report in an urgent manner for 800 miles, and the Huns came to our Han to loot this time, which is different from the past. In previous years, it was just to disturb and disturb the border, but this time he actually sent 20,000 troops to besiege Wuyuan City, and almost washed away the villages in Wuyuan County. Lu Fengxian led his troops to rescue Wuyuan, and saw that there were no villages along the road, so he was furious and personally led 8,000 cavalry to pursue him. He Jin briefly introduced the situation. Immediately, he listened to the Imperial Historian Ding Gong said: "This Lu Bu is really bold, and he dares to pursue 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers with only 8,000 soldiers and horses!" Besides, there is still no order to send troops, and they should be beheaded according to the law. ”

Although this Ding Gong is a doctor of the imperial history, he is a person who is close to the ten permanent servants. After all, the imperial historian is mostly the eyes and ears of the emperor, and the ten permanent servants are the emperor's domestic slaves, so it is not surprising that the two are close. Besides, he was originally from a clan, and he looked down on He Jin, a general from a butcher, on weekdays, plus Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others said good things about him in front of the emperor, Ding Gong naturally felt grateful to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang thought hard for a while last night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that His Majesty's attitude towards Lu Bu's dispatch of troops was definitely not an opposing attitude, and according to His Majesty's temperament, I am afraid that the frowning was more because of the problem of disaster relief money and food. As for Lu Bu, if he loses, he will naturally ask him for the crime of provoking without permission. But if he returns victoriously, it can be regarded as increasing the prestige of the Han family, His Majesty's face, and in order to rule the people, he angrily sent troops, and attacked more with less. Therefore, Zhang Rang asked the little eunuch to send a letter to Ding Gong, telling him to think that he could not let this Lu Bu get a great gift, lest the emperor be happy to let him enter the court as an official, and give He Jin more help. Therefore, after Ding Gong finished talking about He Jin today, he immediately spoke, first giving Lu Bu a hat for a big crime, he is a doctor of imperial history, and his duty is to picket the illegal things of officials, and it is natural for him to say it. Besides, Zhang Rang just wanted Lu Bu not to reward him too much, and he didn't want to find a way to kill him, he was also happy and relaxed, and he could return Zhang Rang's favor.

However, after Ding Gong said this, Zhu Jun got up and said: "This is not appropriate, Lu Bu I know this person, although he is not very old, he is brave, and he has never been defeated in guarding the border pass for many years, and now he sees the Huns acting so recklessly, and he is angry and goes to pursue, although he should be punished, but he will never die!" ”

"Lord Zhu's words are wrong, the law is formulated, it is to be implemented, there is no order to send troops, provoke without permission, and be beheaded according to the law, Lord Zhu is despising the law?"

"The law is nothing more than human affection, Lord Ding doesn't have a deep enough understanding of this sentence?"

"You! What do you mean by that? ”

"What do you mean? Last month, your servant killed someone in the market, and in the end, didn't you lose two yuan to the vegetable farmer, and the murderer died according to the law, why, when it comes to Lord Ding, it doesn't apply? ”

"The vegetable farmer..."

"Enough, let you discuss the matter of Wuyuan, what kind of little vegetable farmer!" Liu Hong said in a deep voice, "How to deal with Lu Bu will be discussed later, let's talk about the disaster relief and relief of the people in Wuyuan County first." Yuan Situ, this matter is in your charge, you can talk about it first. "This Yuan Situ's name is Yuan Peng, but it is not Yuan Shao's own family. Yuan Shao is the Yuan clan of Runan, and this Yuan Fan is a native of Chen County. Father Yuan Zhang and son Yuan Lian were both very famous people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. And although this Yuan Fan is an official to the third duke, he has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, nor does he fight for power and profit, nor does he frame others. Therefore, even if the party struggle in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was so fierce, Yuan Peng could be neutral in the imperial court and not be implicated.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter should also depend on how many people have been affected by this disaster, the military disaster is no more than others, there are many dead people among the people, whether it is to dispose of corpses, or to rebuild villages, or to distribute food for disaster relief, it needs to be based on a real number of people. Dare to ask Your Majesty, can Du Taishou and Ding Tingshi have a play on this matter? If there is, please give it to Wechen to see, so that Wechen can make a plan. Yuan Peng said unhurriedly.

"Father, take the recital of the governor Taishou to Yuan Situ." Liu Hong nodded. Yuan Peng looked at the twists and turns, and couldn't help sighing: "What a Hun man, he is so cruel. ”

"Oh? The people of Wuyuan suffered heavy casualties? Shang Shu Lu Zhi asked on the side.

"Yes, Du Zan said in the recital, the Huns besieged Wuyuan City on the one hand, and sent troops to loot on the other hand, and the people were killed and injured countless times, and there was not one in a hundred."

"Ahh After Yuan Peng's words were finished, not only Lu Zhi, but Chaozhong suddenly exploded as if the pot had exploded. This kind of loss, which has been unheard of for a hundred years, how can they not be surprised.

"Lu Fengxian prides himself on being a famous general, but he has suffered such a big loss, who is angry if he is not angry? And I don't think it's just that he wants to be angry, but I also want to be angry, I want to ask the Hun Shan Yu, and do you know my Han Tianwei! Lu Zhi said.

However, it is not difficult to provide disaster relief, and Du Zhan said that there is a person in Wuyuan City, named Gao Ye, who not only sent troops with Lu Bu this time, but also donated 3,000 stones of food stored at home, so that Taishou could relieve the victims. What Du Zhan asked was just for me to wait for more prisoners to move over, after all, it was spring, and the fields couldn't be wasted. I still remember this high night, the last time Du Zhan came back, he brought a lot of good wine and tea, which is said to be created by this high night. Yuan Peng smiled.

When Liu Hong heard this, he remembered who this Gao Ye was, no wonder he felt that this name was so familiar, wasn't it the person who racked his brains to reward him? Okay, well, how much money can he save me by donating food! Okay, you should be rewarded, but what should you appreciate?

Liu Hong's mind is no longer in Wuyuan, but on this high night, so for the following discussions, the left ear is also in the right ear and out, the ministers are noisy and shouting, saying a few words about disaster relief for a while, and a few words about Lu Bu's private army, oh, these two are actually discussing the mellowness of the wine, and those two are talking about the fragrance of tea. It's as if Wuyuan is no longer a big deal.

Indeed, there was no major event in Wuyuan, the Huns retreated, there was no shortage of food for disaster relief, and it was not a big deal for the migration prisoners to go to Wuyuan, and a will was solved. The only trouble is that Lu Bu sent troops privately, and he didn't know if he could win.

Not only Liu Hong, but all the courtiers have the same idea, if Lu Bu does not send troops, then everything will be fine in Wuyuan. Now Lu Bu sent troops privately, it's good to win, I have a great Han reputation, if I lose, this will be troublesome, not only the Huns will think that my Han is easy to bully, but I am afraid that other subject countries will also make trouble. Lu Bu, Lu Bu, you must not lose, if you lose, our trouble will come!

However, these worries disappeared after a few days, and as Lu Bu's report was delivered to Liu Hong and the courtiers, all the previous worries were gone. Such a victory as the annihilation of 5,000 Huns should be enough to wake up the Huns, right?

The courtiers were relieved, but Gao Ye's heart was tightened again. Because after six days of sweeping, there was finally very bad news. The Xiongnu's Youxian Prince led 60,000 horses and horses, and killed them mightily, preparing to kill this lone army. However, it was obvious that Gao Ye was the only one who began to worry, and when Lu Bu heard the news, he just sneered and said, "Is King Youxian looking for death!" With only 60,000 horses, they want to eat me, and they are not afraid of breaking their stomachs! ”

Perhaps people who are at the top of martial arts have this kind of conceited mentality, and they always feel that they have the ability to be a thousand. Maybe Lu Bu really has it, but he blocked a thousand people, and there are 59,000 people, can the rest of the soldiers be ten with one? However, looking at the appearance of Song Xian and Hou Cheng, they did not have the slightest intention of withdrawing from the army, and they were also not ready to withdraw from the army, how could the two of them retreat, but if they want to fight, 60,000 people are too huge, and if they directly fight hard, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses. The herald came in and out, and Gao Ye's frowning brow suddenly stretched.

The scout came to report, and the prince of Youxian led 40,000 horses to kill him head-on, but he sent two generals to lead 10,000 horses and horses to outflank him. Originally, the Huns who were in a group were killed, and it was naturally difficult for them to win with few people on their side, but you actually dared to separate, didn't this make it clear that you begged me to break each one?
