After Cai Yong glanced at the ministers, he spit out a sentence very proudly: "The old minister recommends the champion Hou Liu Zhang!" ”

"Wow!" Liu Hong laughed and said, "How did I forget the imperial brother!" ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Yuan Kui saw Liu Hong's intention to move, and immediately jumped out.

Liu Hong sneered: "Why not? ”

"This..."Hearing Cai Yong's recommendation of Liu Zhang, Yuan Kui instinctively jumped out, he really didn't know how to convince Liu Hong.

"Don't I really know your little eye?" Liu Hong looked at Yuan Kui coldly and said, "If you can recommend a general who can defeat the Yellow Turban Thief, I will never let the imperial brother fight!" ”

Yuan Kui was dumbfounded! If he knew who could defeat the Yellow Turban Thief, he would have ordered it a long time ago, and he would have waited for Liu Hong to ask? Seeing Yuan Kui's squeak, Liu Hong said angrily: "I will give you a day now, tomorrow morning, if you can come up with a plan to clean up the yellow turban thief, I will forget it!" If not, shut your mouth! Retreat! ”

Liu Hong brushed his sleeves away, leaving a group of ministers staring at each other with big eyes, but Yuan Kui looked at Cai Yong with an angry face. Cai Yong saw Yuan Kui glaring at him, and floated away with a disdainful expression, he had already decided to pave the way for Liu Zhang, his apprentice and son-in-law. In fact, Cai Yong didn't know that if it weren't for Liu Zhang, his apprentice and son-in-law, he would have been driven out of Luoyang long ago.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuan Kui did not return to the house, but came to He Jin's house. He Jin heard that Yuan Kui was visiting, and of course he knew what his purpose was. It's just that He Jin doesn't have any generals who can compete with the Yellow Turban Thief. No matter who He Jin is a person or a person from a big family, when he hears the words "Million Yellow Turbans", his legs are weak, how dare he fight?

Yuan Kui discussed with He Jin for a long time, and gathered some resourceful people in the court to ask questions, but still did not have the idea of stopping Liu Zhang from sending troops. In the end, it was the Yellow Gate Squire Xun You who asked very suspiciously: "There are millions of troops in the Yellow Turban Dao, and there is a trend of intensifying. Let's just say that in the area of Yingchuan and Wancheng, there are at least hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves. Could it be that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song can't win, then Liu Zhang has three heads and six arms? If Liu Zhang really wins the Yellow Turban Dao, it is his ability. But if Liu Zhang is defeated in the hands of the Yellow Turban Dao, then what are we doing now? ”

Xun You only used one sentence to make He Jin and Yuan Kui feel at ease, they just saw that Liu Zhang would win, but they didn't find the crisis, which made Yuan Kui and He Jin very depressed. The next day, the Manchu civil and military forces surprisingly guaranteed unanimity and agreed that Liu Zhang would lead troops to support Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but Liu Zhang quit!

Liu Hong was also very depressed, he knew that Liu Zhang's refusal to go to war was not because he was afraid of war and avoided war, but Liu Zhang's refusal like this didn't mean to give him face as an emperor? Liu Hong asked coldly: "Brother Huang, if you don't dare to fight, even if you speak out, I won't embarrass you!" ”

"Brother Huang, don't use the method of agitation on your brother, it's not that you don't give face to your brother, you just have something to say." Liu Zhang knew that Liu Hong was a little depressed, but he was not in a hurry, since he wanted to fight, he had to get the greatest benefit. Support Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, what they said is very good. defeated, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song have merit, and they can still take the lion's share. Defeated, Liu Zhang had to be unlucky. This kind of thing where the risk and the benefit are disproportionate, Liu Zhang will not do.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Liu Hong went down the stairs, after all, Liu Zhang was his cronie.

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Huang, you asked me to support Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, if I go, who will this army listen to?" ”

"Of course, it's to listen to Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song!" Yuan Kui stood up and said, "Is it possible that I can still listen to you?" ”

Liu Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I obey Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song?" These two wastes, if you can win, you don't need me to go! Besides, as a general with five facial features, my official position is only higher than that of Huangfu Song and others, and I am still a member of the royal family, why should I listen to the words of two domestic slaves? ”

"Uh..." Yuan Kui was stunned, in his opinion, whether it is an official or an army, it is a place to talk about qualifications and qualifications. But Liu Zhang didn't give Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song face so much, wasn't he afraid of offending these two leading generals?

Liu Hong said with a smile: "What the imperial brother said is extremely true! In that case, I command you with full authority! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhang bowed down and said, "Since Your Majesty trusts your brother so much, your brother still has something to say!" ”

"Speak!" Liu HongAs long as Liu Zhang can win the battle, everything else is trivial!

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If possible, the younger brother will solve the Yellow Turban Dao before the end of this year, but the younger brother hopes that no matter who it is, don't interfere with the strategy of the younger brother, otherwise let him compete with the Yellow Turban thief!" Of course, if Your Majesty has any opinions, you can send someone to inform your younger brother, and as for the others, your younger brother hopes that they won't make ghosts behind their backs! After speaking, Liu Zhang looked at Yuan Kui with straight eyes, which made Yuan Kui very depressed.

Liu Hong also understood what Liu Zhang meant, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart. If it is really only Liu Zhang to fight, it is estimated that Yuan Kui will order Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to watch Liu Zhang's defeat! Liu Hong said with a smile: "Brother Huang, you are really a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly!" Didn't I give you the snake sword? This sword has the right to cut first and then play, go to the front line, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will naturally listen to you! Do you understand? ”

"Brother Chen, I understand!" What Liu Zhang wants is Liu Hong's promise. Although Liu Zhang got the sword of slaying snakes very early, after all, if the name is not right, it is not good. Now that the emperor said it himself, he clearly told Yuan Kui and others not to make small moves behind their backs, otherwise their lives would be in danger. As for whether Liu Zhang will rebel, it is no longer within Liu Hong's consideration! At least Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will never rebel!

Yuan Kui's face turned blue, but He Jin was very proud, because Liu Zhang was Queen He's person. Queen He is He Jin's own sister, so aren't Liu Zhang and He Jin grasshoppers on a rope! However, now that the situation is in crisis, neither Yuan Kui, nor Liu Hong nor the Ten Standing Servants have noticed He Jin's expression.

"Brother Huang, when are you going to send troops?" Liu Hong saw that Liu Zhang was very confident, so he didn't care about anything else, and he believed that Liu Zhang would not let him down.

"Brother Huang, my brother said something disrespectful! Don't ask about sending troops! "Liu Zhang wants to give Yuan Kui eye medicine anyway, so naturally he won't let go of such an opportunity.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Hong was a little unkind, after all, he was still the emperor. Even if Wei Qing and Huo Qu were sick back then, they had to ask Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for instructions before the war, and Liu Zhang said this, he was suspected of looking down on Liu Hong.

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Huang, you trust the ten permanent servants so much, and there are still people among the ten permanent servants who betray you." Do you dare to guarantee that there are no Yellow Turban thieves in this Manchu Dynasty? That horn has been developing since ten years, is there no official who can see the trickiness in it? Brother doesn't believe it! If these annihilations leak the marching route and timing of the younger brother to the Yellow Turban thief, wouldn't it be a great bad thing for the younger brother? ”

"Presumptuous!" Yuan Kui jumped out again, because he found that Liu Zhang was poking him with his eye dart again, as if implying that he was a Yan Xian in the court.

Liu Zhang said without joy or anger: "Why is Lord Yuan so excited, I didn't say you, there are really three hundred taels of silver here!" ”

Although Liu Zhang's words were a little ugly, Liu Hong was very happy to see Yuan Kui deflated, so Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Alas! All you have to do is win the battle for me, and I don't care about you for anything else! ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Liu Zhang made a big gift to Liu Hong, and then continued to close his eyes without joy or anger, and almost no one could see what he wanted to do. The appearance of Liu Zhang's old god was very gratifying to Cai Yong, but it made Yuan Kui's heart faintly chill.

At night, Liu Zhang did not notify anyone, and left Luoyang with Shi A, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai. They did not go through the gates, but fell from the walls of the city at night. The next day, a leave note appeared in the palace, saying that Liu Zhang was seriously ill and needed to rest for two days. Of course, Liu Zhang has already gotten angry with Liu Hong! Hearing that Liu Zhang was seriously ill, Yuan Kui thought that he was afraid of war, so he joined several imperial histories and sued the imperial court. Song Shu did enter the inner court, but Liu Hong's imperial approval only had three words: I know!

Liu Zhang didn't know that Yuan Kui was doing ghosts behind his back again. After a night of rapid marching, he had already arrived at Yingchuan Yangzhai, and he would be able to reach Changshe in half a day. In order to keep the soldiers strong and energetic, Liu Zhang first sent scouts, and then let all the troops rest in a hidden mountain forest outside Yangzhai City. In the evening, the soldiers regained their strength, and the scouts also returned to the barracks, and at the same time brought the information of the Changshe, and Liu Zhang summoned Guo Jia and others in the big tent to discuss countermeasures. In the end, Liu Zhang decided to enter the Changshe first to join Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song.

Taking advantage of the night march again, Liu Zhang came to the outside of Changshe City when the sky was bright. He didn't rush into the city, but carefully observed the terrain of the First Chief's Shrine in order to repel the Bocai army!

After dawn, Bo suddenly found that a large army of the imperial court appeared behind him, and he was so frightened that his soul was scattered. However, Ling Bocai was very puzzled that the imperial army's army did not attack at night. However, he soon learned why the imperial army's army did not launch a surprise attack.

"Elite!" When the Yellow Turban Army and Liu Zhang's troops faced each other, these two words immediately popped out of Bocai's heart. Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's troops are also good, in Bo Cai's eyes, they are at most stronger than the Yellow Turban Army, but Liu Zhang's troops make Bo Cai feel suffocated, what a majesty! Bocai asked the people around him: "Who is the commander of this team?" ”

Bocai asked but no one answered, after all, the Yellow Turban thieves were all peasants, and there were not many literate people, and even fewer literate generals. Even if Liu Zhang's banner is clearly written, they still don't know. One of the generals of the Yellow Turban walked out of the general and said: "Qu Shuai, the last general asks for his life, go and find out the truth!" ”

"It's good! Be careful! Bocai nodded and agreed.

Seeing someone fighting, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Huang Xu, you go up and play first!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Xu came out at the order.

"Let's get the name together!" The Yellow Turban General shouted: "I am the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai..."

"Idiot!" The Yellow Turban General has not finished speaking, and his head has been taken back by Huang Xu to restore his life!
