In the palace, in a side hall.

Liu Hong was watching the singer's performance with great interest, and the battle report in the morning lifted his spirits. Beside him, Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, served with a smile on his face.

In fact, Zhang Rang already knew the matter from his ears and eyes. But he still asked curiously: "Your Majesty is happy, but what happy event has you encountered?" ”

"By the way, I haven't said it to Agen yet." Liu Hong smiled and became affectionate. Immediately, the matter was said.

"It turned out to be a big victory ahead, and I am glad to congratulate it." Zhang Rang also smiled, then changed his words and asked: "It's just that Zhang Shuang has a lot of credit, and when he was understated by the general, he didn't have much reward." ”

"yes, that's what I think, too. But when He Jin said that, it was not easy to refute his face. Liu Hong nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Zhang Rang didn't speak.

The reason why he opened his mouth was, on the one hand, a secret relationship with Zhang Shuang. The second is that it is not compatible with He Jin.

He is very smart and knows how to say bad things about He Jin a little bit, instead of blindly attacking.

"When the time comes, you He Jin will also fall." Zhang Rang secretly sneered in his heart.

"Da Da Da!" At this moment, a little eunuch walked in. He reported: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a meeting with the doctor Ma Riyan. ”

"Didn't you see it at the court?" Liu Hong muttered, a little displeased.

"Your Majesty is in good spirits, it doesn't hurt to see you." Zhang Rang said.

"Okay. Declare. Liu Hong said.

"No." The little eunuch said yes and went down. Soon after, Ma Riyan walked in from outside. Without waiting for Liu Hong to speak, he took out the bamboo slip, raised it above his head and said, "Your Majesty, report on the battle ahead." ”

"Didn't you just win? How can there be a war report? Liu Hong was a little puzzled.

"Please take your own look, the minister dare not speak." Ma Riyan said. So, Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang to take the bamboo slip, and when he looked at it, his color changed.

"Defeat at the front??? Zhu Jun was killed? Of the twelve generals, there are only five people left, including Zhang Shuang. Now Zhang Shuang barely keeps the Changshe with 7,000 remnants??? ”

The voice was sharp, his breath was short, and Liu Hong was completely out of shape.

"What ???" Zhang Rang was also taken aback and his eyes widened.

"Of the fifteen thousand troops, only seven thousand remain. How to get it, how to get it. Liu Hong muttered to himself, at a loss.

In this regard, he has not yet been able to do great things. Zhang Rang froze and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to panic. Huangfu Song is still in Nanyang and ordered him to go to support. After a pause, Zhang Rang said again: "Zhu Jun was defeated, he should be held accountable and his title removed." In addition, the long club will have no leader, and Zhang Shuang will turn the tide and stabilize the situation. High power. He can be ordered to be the Lord, and to give the general and the land. ”

Ma Riyan saw that Zhang Rang was in power and made the decision. But he opened his mouth and said secretly in his heart: "Forget it this time, after all, it's help." ”

Liu Hong was at a loss, and after listening to Zhang Rang's idea, he nodded again and again: "I will make Zhang Shuang the general of Fenwei, give him the title of marquis, and seal 500 households." ”

"The Son of Heaven is wise." Zhang Rang bowed. Then seeing that Ma Riyan was still there, he said: "Lord Ma is not going to tell the Son of Heaven quickly and send it to Shangshutai." The order of the book of orders to issue a reward table? ”

"No." Ma Riyan was unhappy in his heart, but he knew that it was urgent, so he hurriedly promised to go down.

"I didn't expect this kid to become bigger. I seem to have seen the time when he will replace He Jin in the future. Zhang Rang squinted his eyes and said secretly in his heart.

………………

Zhang Shuang's matter is just a trivial matter. But He Jin let out a bad breath, as if he had returned with a big victory. After returning to the General's Mansion with his henchmen and disciples, he ordered a banquet to be held and the guests were assembled.

After three rounds of drinking, He Jin was already drunk.

"General Huo Guangxi!!" After He Jin got drunk, he became debauched and invisible. Personally went down and sang. This song is a song that praises Huo Guang, the former Han general. Very charming.

Now He Jingui is a general, and he is also very appropriate.

It is He Jin who compares himself with Huo Guang.

"Okay."

"As long as the general sorts out the supergang, Huo Guang's name can be contested." The henchmen praised one after another.

"Hahaha." He Jin laughed.

Just then, someone rushed in. Look flustered. When He Jin saw it, this person was a book he had placed in Shangshutai.

"What's the matter?" was happy, He Jin was displeased, and scolded.

"The general is bad, and Zhu Jun is defeated. Zhang Shuang commanded the fourth lieutenant to retreat to the Changshe, with 7,000 remnants. 150,000 thieves. The Son of Heaven added Zhang Shuang as the general of Fenwei and was named the marquis. ”

Shang Shu said.

"What??? How did I not know about this? He Jin was shocked, the wine immediately sobered up, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"I heard that Zhang Shuang's statement was directly given to Ma Riyan." Shangshu replied.

"The shaft is hateful!" He Jin gritted his teeth.

"General, now is not the time to talk about this. That Zhang Shuang obviously didn't agree with the general, and he didn't even pass the general. He is now in command of the army, and if he fails, it is fine, if he succeeds. That would surely set up a great enemy for the general. ”

Zheng Tai's face was extremely distorted.

"I went into the palace to see the Son of Heaven." He Jin also changed color, so he immediately got up and went to the palace.

"Zhang Shuang, how can you get to this point." Zheng Tai yelled unwillingly in his heart. The two entered the court at the same time, and now Zhang Shuang is already a general of Fenwei, and he is even qualified to be He Jin's political enemy.

And what about him?? It's just a small official.

After He entered the palace, he saw Liu Hong and Zhang Rang in the side hall.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you ordered that Zhang Shuang to be the general of Fenwei and supervise the army?" After He saluted, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course, how can an army be leaderless?" Liu Hong was in a very bad mood, and his tone was very impulsive.

When He Jin heard this, he immediately eased his tone and said, "Your Majesty, that Zhang Shuang is only in his early twenties. Commanding the army, I am afraid that the army will collapse faster. ”

"But it was because of this man in his early twenties that he made a statement to the court to deal with the yellow turban. It was because of him that the defeated army did not collapse and retreated to Changshe. ”

Zhang Rang is not yin or yang on the side.

"That's why you can't take risks. I think it's better for him to join the army and come up with a strategy. The general should have another veteran and respectful person to take on the responsibility. He Jin said.

"This!" Liu Hong hesitated.

"Son of Heaven, the army cannot be defeated again. It's detrimental to the country. He Jin hurriedly said. To damage the country's honor is to imply the destruction of the country. He Jin knew that Liu Hong was most worried about his own life.

"Then we will draw up candidates to lead the army." Liu Hong hesitated again and again and said.

"But as soon as the Son of Heaven Chrysostom opens, he can't change the order overnight." Zhang Rang knew that He Jin was a higher move, but he was unwilling to fail, so he said.

"General Zhang Shuang is crowned, and the marquis are the same." Liu Hong said.

"No."

Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief and promised.

"Who's going to do that?" Liu Hong asked He Jindao.

"Zheng Tai, a famous man at home, is familiar with military books and can hold on to it." Of course, He Jin was not chosen, but as soon as his mind turned, he became anxious and said.

"Then he was crowned General Yang Wu and went to Changshe with the festival."

Liu Hongling said.

"No."

He Jin said loudly.

The boiled duck was taken away by He Jin. Sigh for Zhang Shuang. But Zhang Shuang is a person who knows current affairs and can do great things. Just Zheng Tai, I'm afraid I can't stop him. If things develop well, maybe He Jin will lose face again. ”

Seeing He Jin leave, Zhang Rang was not discouraged, and was very optimistic about Zhang Shuang in his heart.
