On the evening of March 9 in the third year of Jianning, Dong Zhuoqin led 16,000 combatable soldiers to withdraw from Fuyang, leaving 15,000 seriously wounded soldiers in Fuyang to defend the Xianbei army.

That night, the vanguard of the Xianbei army, 10,000 Xianbei main forces and 30,000 slave troops, broke through Fuyang, and killed more than 13,000 Han troops.

Half an hour later, the follow-up 20,000 Xianbei main forces and 70,000 slave troops entered Fuyang.

The night was as dark as ink, even the moon was obscured by clouds, and it seemed that God was also trying to help the Han army.

Several Han soldiers walked out of a yard of groceries, only to see that these Han soldiers either had no left arm, or no right arm, and there were only one leg left. Obviously, these were the 15,000 soldiers who survived the seriously wounded Han army.

Not long after, dozens of Han soldiers gathered together, and a Han soldier in military marquis costume whispered, "Everyone, we are in a foreign land thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty at this moment, that is to say, even if we die in battle, we will die in a foreign land." ”

"However, if we do what the captain has commanded, it will be a great achievement, and we will receive a considerable reward for the family and avenge the death of our brothers. I don't know if you are willing to build this work together. ”

"I'm willing to do it." Everyone whispered in unison.

Then there was a humane: "Lao Tzu killed a few Xianbei people on the battlefield, and it is worth it." ”

"That's right, although Lao Tzu can't tell which one is a Xianbei person and which one is a slave army, but if he rushes that strength, it must be the Xianbei army, and Lao Tzu killed three, which is also worth it."

"Yes, Lao Tzu also earned it."

Seeing this, the military marquis shouted in a low voice, "Okay, since that's the case, let me wait for another big one." ”

"No"

Then the Han army set fire to the entire Fuyang City, and after the ignition, the two thousand seriously wounded soldiers not only did not evacuate, but occupied the city gate to prevent the Xianbei army from escaping.

"Fire!! Fire! ”

"Fight the fire!!"

"Quick, hurry up and put out the fire!!"

As soon as the fire was ignited, the Xianbei army suddenly became a mess and fled in all directions, and the Xianbei soldiers who were not burned to death by the fire were trampled to death by their own people, which is really embarrassing.

When the Xianbei army killed the Han army at the city gate and rushed out of Fuyang, they were immediately besieged and killed by two thousand iron cavalry.

When the sky was bright and the Xianbei reinforcements were about to arrive, the Iron Cavalry army withdrew.

There were only more than 60,000 people left in the 130,000 army that entered the city in this battle, and most of them were slaves.

Without it, at the moment of life and death, the army of slaves oppressed by the Xianbei people fought hard to survive, so the 70,000 people who died were really burned to death by the fire, and there were not many who were killed by the Iron Cavalry, most of them died in their own hands.

After the Xianbei army found out the truth, if it weren't for the fact that these slave armies were still used, they would have been killed long ago.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had led the army to retreat to Yucheng, on the east bank of the tributary of the Songhua River, a hundred miles away, and received 3,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 slave troops stationed here from Fuyuguo.

Xianbei was defeated by Fuyang, and the slave army was three times the number of regular troops at this time, so in order to prevent the slave army from rebelling, the Xianbei army finally stopped.

The war in Fuyu has changed, and Luoyang has also changed at this time.

On the afternoon of March 9 in the third year of Jianning, there was an eclipse.

Liu Hong looked at the request for the surrender of the three princes, and said secretly, "It's been three years, how many times has this been eaten?" That's a lot of luck, isn't it? I haven't met it once in so many years in later generations, and when I come to this Eastern Han Dynasty, it's as frequent as eating, it's too ridiculous. ”

This is Li Hao whispered to the side, "Your Majesty, Taifu Hu Guang resigned." ”

Liu Hong rubbed his head and muttered, "What excuse please!" Isn't this looking for trouble for me! ”

Li Hao heard this and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Taifu resigned because he was unwell. ”

Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, feeling unwell? Then he said, "Have you ever sent the imperial doctor?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Taifu has asked Imperial Doctor Wang to see it before, and Imperial Doctor Wang said that he is too old, not a disease."

Liu Hong closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Get up and go to Taifu's mansion." ”

"No"

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Hong appeared in the living room of Taifu Hu Guang's mansion, Hu Guangping retreated left and right, quietly waiting for Liu Hong's inquiry.

Liu Hong didn't say hello anymore, and asked directly, "Who will follow?" ”

Hu Guang naturally knew that Liu Hong asked who should inherit the position of the leader of those who were in the party, so Hu Guang replied lightly, "Situ Li Ying can succeed." ”

"Who's in the cabinet?"

Hearing Liu Hong's question, Hu Guang hesitated, it is natural for Taifu to enter the cabinet, but the ancestral system is that Taifu died, that is, in addition to this official, he will no longer be appointed to show respect. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there has been no exception for two hundred years, and only Hu Guang made an exception and served as Taifu.

However, after Hu Guang stepped down, naturally there could not be an exception, so Liu Hong asked, 'Who can join the cabinet', obviously Liu Hong wanted to choose one of the two thousand stone members in the rank to join the cabinet.

After thinking about it for a while, Hu Guang shook his head and said, "I don't know, please make a decision to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong is also very troubled by this, after all, whoever enters the cabinet is duplicating the powers of the three dukes, and only this Taifu can avoid this, because the Taifu is above the three dukes.

Liu Hong then gave up the question, and then asked, "Who can be the first assistant?" ”

"Taiwei Liu Ju can be the first assistant." Hu Guang replied without thinking about it.

Liu Hong said secretly when he heard this, "Although Liu Ju said that he was a little unenlightened about the establishment of the navy, the things he remedied afterwards can prove that this person is committed to me, and it can be used." ”

Immediately, Liu Hong nodded, and then asked, "How will the matter of rebuilding the law end?" ”

Hu Guangyan naturally knew that this was the result of too much pressure from all sides, and at this time, the law had not yet been revised, and naturally some big forces had not yet come out, but even small forces could not be underestimated.

However, Hu Guang still knew the important surname of the law, and then said, "Lawbreakers, should be severely punished, although Emperor Xianwu was criticized in his later years, but when he was in power, he knew the law, restrained his people, and made it brilliant in the world. ”

When Liu Hong heard such slippery words, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then asked, "How should the people of Goguryeo deal with it?" ”

"Your Majesty has a plan in his heart, and it is inconvenient for the minister to say more."

Liu Hong smiled, then walked out of the living room and returned to the palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Liu Hong issued an order, "There is a warning in the sky, and there is lawlessness in the earth, so I will remove Taifu Hu Guang from the post in order to respond to the heavens." ”

"Guanglu Xun Yang was given into the cabinet, Taiwei Liu Ju was the first assistant of the cabinet, and Situ Li Ying fulfilled his duties and sealed the internal marquis."

After Hu Guang learned the content of the holy decree, he smiled very happily, Guanglu Xun Yang Ci also hung the name of a military secretary, and if he was included in the cabinet, no one could underestimate the military department. Sealing Li Ying as the Marquis of Guan Nei also showed his attitude to the officials who were activated by the party.

Seeing that Liu Hong's accident was already handy, how could Hu Guang, a man who is dedicated to Han, not be pleased?

However, the fighting in the north continued.
