Cheng Yuanzhi faced the valley mouth blankly, and the pungent smell of burning made people want to vomit. However, Cheng Yuanzhi was just facing Taniguchi blankly at this time, his heart was looking forward to it, expecting someone to escape, but he was disappointed.

The fire that soared to the sky burned in the valley for a whole day and a night. Cheng Yuanzhi was desperate, and more than 5,000 people were burned down by a fire. Not a single one escaped.

"Xian Yufu Xiao'er, I will definitely kill your whole family, destroy your whole clan, and bury my brother with me." Cheng Yuanzhi's mournful oath voice floated in the valley.

However, we can't hear the dead Yellow Turban generals. Even Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin couldn't hear it, and they were full of joy at this moment to collect their troops and return to the city to report back to Zou Jing.

"It's a pity, I thought I could wipe out his entire army, but I didn't expect to burn only more than 5,000 of its horses." Zou Jing said with some regret after listening to the battle report.

Xian Yuyin looked at Zou Jing, who was sighing, and said secretly in his heart: You must not offend him, this person is too ruthless. Xian Yuyin was facing the Yellow Turban Army that was burned to death in the valley at that time, and the shortcomings collapsed. That kind of terrifying scene is rarely in the silver and I don't want to encounter it in my life.

It is said that after Cheng Yuanzhi folded more than 5,000 horses, as well as Deng Mao and Gao Sheng, he no longer dared to move forward easily. just retreated more than ten miles and set up camp, waiting for Zhang Jiao's large army to arrive.

The biggest difference between the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army is that the Yellow Turban Army is personally led by the three brothers Zhang Jiao, and no matter what happens, they are the first to know.

However, the Han army was a remote control of the troops in the air by the imperial court, and nothing could be known immediately. It is often necessary to send dedicated personnel to inspect the site. If the person who inspected it is honest and reliable, it will be fine, if it is a villain who adds fuel and vinegar, then the commander of the Han army will be unlucky.

At this moment, the Chongde Hall of the Eastern Han Dynasty Palace is bustling, and people who don't know must have mistakenly thought that they have come to the vegetable market.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Thieves are just a bunch of people. The old general Huangfu easily defeated the thief soldiers led by the thief Zhang Bao in Yuzhou. However, Lu Zhonglang did not fight in Jizhou, lazy and sluggish the morale of the army, and there were many defeats. and complained that His Majesty imprisoned the party back then, resulting in the loss of talents in the imperial court. Lu Zhonglang was afraid that he didn't have the heart to suppress the thief, so he asked His Majesty to send it down. A eunuch knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice.

This person's name is Zuo Feng, although he is not among the top ten permanent servants, but he is also in cahoots with Zhang Rang and others, and he does all kinds of evil. This person is flamboyant, especially good at figuring out people's hearts, so he is deeply trusted by Emperor Han Ling.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent good news because of Emperor Fu Song, but Lu Zhi of Jizhou did not see any movement for a long time, so he sent Zuo Feng to Jizhou to investigate the military situation.

Zuo Feng is already a person who is extremely greedy for money, and if he has the opportunity to go out, it is not a desperate search for oil and water. When Zuo Feng asked Lu Zhi for a bribe in the barracks, Lu Zhi not only refused to give him money, but also scolded him in person. Zuo Feng held a grudge, and it happened that Lu Zhi had defeated Zhang Jiao's hand, and when he returned to Luoyang, he immediately reported to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Han Ling was furious when he heard this: "Lu Zigan is complaining that I am a faint monarch, a faint monarch who does not know how to promote talents?" Someone, someone, escort Lu Zigan back for me. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry." Yuan Kui immediately came out to persuade: "Lu Zigan is an upright person, and he will not talk about His Majesty behind his back." He is pedantic and upright, if he complains in his heart, shouldn't he confront His Majesty? ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard it, yes, this Lu Zhi is a lump of wood, he has always looked at what is not pleasing to the eye, and although his temper is stinky and hard, he will not scold me behind his back.

"Your Majesty, the art of war is the most taboo to change generals in battle. If it is changed to a person who does not know the art of war, wouldn't it make the thieves laugh at the power of the Han Dynasty. Lu Zigan is a person who is well versed in the art of war, and although he has been defeated, I expect that he will not disappoint His Majesty. Please wait for the good news. Yuan Kui persuaded slowly.

That Zuo Feng had already persuaded Emperor Ling to take Lu Zhi into custody, but Yuan Kui's words dissuaded Emperor Ling of Han in time to dispel this idea.

Zuo Feng glanced at Yuan Kui with resentful eyes, and said faintly: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhonglang and General Huangfu are both the leaders of the troops. General Huangfu can quickly defeat Zhang Bao, but I don't know why Lu Zhonglang has delayed a victory? Now it's even more high, so what are you waiting for? The old slave also heard that the thief general Cheng Yuanzhi led 50,000 troops to invade Youzhou. The old slave always felt that Dong Zhuo was more suitable to lead the troops to exterminate Zhang Jiao. ”

Emperor Han Ling was stunned, he didn't remember much of the previous words, but what are you waiting for? But I can hear it clearly. What does Zuo Feng mean by this? The two armies faced each other, one side was defeated one after another, but the other side still had the energy to advance to other places. Could it be that this Lu Zhi secretly collaborated with the enemy army? Thinking of this, Emperor Han Ling was taken aback.

As early as Zuo Feng finished speaking, Yuan Kui secretly said: It's broken. Looking at Emperor Han Ling's face, I don't know what Emperor Han Ling thinks.

The faces of all the knowledgeable officials also changed, did Zuo Feng have to pull Lu Zhi off the horse? The hateful eunuch, ignoring the country, should be killed.

Yuan Kui looked at the general He Jin. Although He Jin has always been at odds with these scholars, he is even more incompatible with the eunuchs. Seeing that the scholars and eunuchs were on the bar, He Jin was very happy to stand on the same front with the scholars.

He Jin glanced at Zuo Feng and mentally prepared his words: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"Oh? What advice does Uncle Guo have? "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has always doted on He Jin's sister, and even he loves He Jin. not only gave He Jin an official and knight, but even granted him the power of soldiers and horses.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there should be no change of generals at this time. Lu Zigan has always been at odds with the minister, but the minister guarantees that Lu Zigan is not a collaborator. Moreover, Dong Zhuo has lived in Xiliang for a long time, and it may be difficult to abide by the various etiquettes of the DPRK and China. The minister believed that Lu Zigan would be able to exterminate the thieves. Moreover, when the emperor played the good news today, he specially guaranteed Lu Zigan. ”

"What? Huangfu Song specially stated the guarantee? Why didn't I see it? Father Zhang? "When Emperor Han Ling heard He Jin say that Huangfu Song was on the good news, he also said that he would vouch for Lu Zhi, why didn't he see it?

Zhang Rang on the side knew something bad as soon as he heard He Jin's words. Hurriedly knelt forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave was overjoyed when he saw the good news of Huangfu Yizhen, and he was in a hurry to report this great joy to His Majesty. The latter did not look closely, so it was not reported to His Majesty. The old slave is guilty. ”

Emperor Ling waved his hand and said, "Father also wants to tell me the good news earlier, what is the sin for some small things." Then he turned his head and said to everyone: "Well, since they all guarantee Lu Zigan, I will believe him this time." But Uncle Guo, you have to send someone to tell him to quickly kill Zhang Jiao, do you know? ”

"The Minister's decree must send someone to inform him of His Majesty's grace." He Jin said respectfully.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, there are only a few people in Zhejiang who are recognized as being able to lead troops to fight, and everyone is really afraid that Emperor Ling will replace Lu Zhi with an impulse. Whether the rebellion can be quelled at that time, everyone is really uncertain.

The person who was most full of anger in the heart of the entire court was Zuo Feng, and he saw that he had succeeded. These ministers have to do the right thing for themselves. Thinking about the gold and silver treasures that Dong Zhuo gave him, if the matter was not done, could he really return it? That's in his flesh.

No, even if it doesn't work, you can't go back. Besides, half of those treasures were distributed to Zhang Rang, an old man, and it was even more impossible to get him to return them.
