Zhang Yi said that in the month of illness, the most important thing in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was the battle situation on the northern front, according to Zhang Yi's order, Kirby and Budugen marched all the way, and the soldiers had already pointed directly to Jinyang, and the anxious Ding Yuan connected several reports, asking He Jin to send troops to help, and He Jin sent several orders to Zhang Yi, so that he quickly led the troops north, but Zhang Yi kept saying that he was sick and did not move, and also wrote that the soldiers in his army were very sick because of the reason that they were not adapted, and many of them could not even get out of bed. The angry He Jin scolded his mother in the house, but he had nothing to do with Zhang Yi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the battle situation on the northern front was under normal circumstances, it would not reach the ears of Emperor Han Ling at all, but under Zhang Yi's instructions, when Zhuge Jue met Emperor Han Ling, he inadvertently told Emperor Han Ling about the battle situation on the northern front, and under Zhuge Jue's narration, the war on the northern front was described as precarious, and even made Emperor Han Ling mistakenly think that the Xianbei people were pointing at Luoyang City this time, and the anxious Emperor Han Ling immediately recruited the ten permanent servants and He Jin into the palace.

"He Jin!"

As soon as he saw He Jin, the general, Emperor Han Ling angrily threw the jade cup on the table, and He Jin fell to his knees in a hurry.

"He Jin," angrily pointed at He Jin, and Emperor Han Ling shouted: "Let me ask you, where did the Xianbei people hit?" Is it already approaching Jinyang City? ”

"This ......"

He Jin, who wanted to say that he lied and said that he didn't, looked up and saw Zhuge Jue, and knew that he couldn't go on, so he had to nod: "Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Xianbei people has indeed approached Jinyang City, but please rest assured, the Ding Yuan Thorn History of Jinyang will definitely be able to stop the Xianbei people, Your Majesty ......"

"Block the fart!"

Interrupting He Jin's words sharply, Emperor Han Ling scolded: "You bastard, you dare to be deceitful? Ding Yuan didn't have many soldiers in his hand, but he was later transferred by you, and now he doesn't even have 20,000 people, you tell me, what does he use to resist the 300,000 army of the Xianbei people!? By the way, didn't you say before that there are less than 100,000 Xianbei people? It turns out that you have been lying to me from the beginning, you are so bold! ”

Hearing that Emperor Han Ling even knew that the Xianbei people had an army of 300,000, He Jin's forehead immediately overflowed with fine beads of sweat.

"Back to Your Majesty," Rushing to the ground, He Jin explained in a panic: "The minister will never dare to deceive Your Majesty, at the beginning, there were indeed only 80,000 people from Kirby, but later Bu Dugen also joined in, so there were more than 200,000, and the minister hid it from His Majesty, because he didn't want His Majesty to worry about it." ”

"Afraid I'm worried?" Sneering, Emperor Han Ling gritted his teeth and said, "I think you want to wait for the Xianbei people to put the knife on my neck, or kill me, and then tell me?" ”

"Don't dare to die!"

With his head on the ground, He Jin said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty has the grace of reinvention to the minister, like regenerating parents, even if the minister is broken bones, he can't repay it, the minister swears to the sky, I am really afraid that Your Majesty is worried about this and I don't tell Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Your Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be learned!" ”

He Jin can still gain a foothold in the court under the favor of Emperor Ling of Han in every way to the ten permanent servants, relying on his mouth.

"Hey~"

After listening to He Jin's heartfelt 'confession', Emperor Han Ling let out a long sigh and motioned for He Jin to get up.

Seeing that Emperor Han Ling let himself stand up, He Jin immediately understood that his crisis was over for the time being, but he also knew that if he wanted his crisis to pass, he had to transfer the crisis to others, so while getting up, He Jin glanced at Zhuge Jue, who was standing in the lower position, and immediately had an idea.

"Your Majesty," he bowed deeply to Emperor Ling of Han, and He Jin said loudly: "The reason why the Xianbei people can enter Jinyang City so calmly and quickly is completely the fault of the former general, he should not leave the main force to guard against the Xianbei people, and ......"

"The general's words are wrong!"

Seeing that He Jin was going to throw the responsibility on Zhang Yi, Zhuge Jue immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty," he saluted respectfully, and Zhuge said: "What the general said is not the truth, after receiving the general's order, my marquis once wrote and said, 'The yellow turban thief is just a disease of mustard ringworm, and the Xianbei people are the trouble in their hearts, and they should leave part of the main force, In order to prevent the Xianbei people from taking advantage of the civil strife in my Han Dynasty to invade the south', the meaning of my marquis is already obvious, but the general said, Xianbei people are the disease of mustard, and I want my marquis to do his best to lead the army of 100,000 to go south to suppress the thieves, my marquis did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to leave 30,000 reserve troops and lead the main force to the south overnight. ”

After listening to Zhuge Jue's words, Emperor Han Ling immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Bowing slightly, Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhuge said is true. ”

As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, Zhao Zhong immediately said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "Your Majesty, for this matter, I personally looked for the general, but the general insisted on Dingping Hou leading all the main forces south, and said that I don't understand military affairs, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's words were like knives, the knife pierced He Jin's heart, and He Jin's cold sweat was like a bead with a broken thread, ticking and ticking, because he remembered that Zhang Yi did talk about this problem in the book, but he rejected it.

Slightly frightened, he saluted Emperor Han Ling, and He Jin said urgently: "Your Majesty, although the former general did say this, but no matter what, at that time, as a general of Pingbei and in charge of the northern army, he was guilty of dereliction of duty, and the 30,000 troops he left behind, after encountering the Xianbei people, did not make any resistance at all, and almost put the Xianbei people into the state. ”

He Jin is right about this, the 30,000 people left by Zhang Yi did not make any resistance, and put Kirby Neng and Bu Dugen into the state, of course, this is also normal, they are all Zhang Yi's soldiers, how can they fight to the death?

"Hmph," after listening to He Jin's words, Zhao Zhong sneered and said: "30,000 troops, you are still a general, even I, a person who doesn't understand military affairs, can see that 30,000 fights 300,000, that is simply a death in vain, if the general is like this to lead the troops to fight, I think you should really abdicate and give way to Xian." ”

"You ......"

Zhao Zhong's choking made He Jin furious, and he glared at Zhao Zhong and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Emperor Han Ling.

"Okay, let's not say a word," After stopping the argument between the two sides, Emperor Han Ling patted the dragon case and roared: "The problem now is to solve the problem of the Xianbei people, not to let you quarrel here, He Jin, as a general, talk about how to deal with the Xianbei people, don't tell me that you have no way at all." ”

Emperor Han Ling is now frightened by the Xianbei people, although he doesn't care about political affairs, doesn't care about the life and death of the people, but he cares about his throne, Zhang Yi also analyzed before, Emperor Han Ling is indeed a faint monarch, but he is not a mediocre monarch, he just doesn't want to be a good emperor, it's not that he can't be a good emperor.

Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Han Ling, a faint monarch, has shown his ability as an emperor, and he now knows everything about military politics, but he will feel fear when he is familiar with military politics, because he clearly knows that there are only about 130,000 troops left around Luoyang and in Luoyang City, and the disparity between 130,000 and 300,000 troops makes Emperor Han Ling have to be afraid.

"Your Majesty," after bowing and saluting, He Jin said loudly: "The minister has ordered the former general to lead the army north, but Zhang Yi is proud of his merits and has put forward many very excessive conditions, he ......"

"Wait, what do you say? Transferred to the former general to the north to resist the enemy? ”

After hearing that He Jin wanted Zhang Yi to go north to resist the enemy, Emperor Han Ling sneered and said, "He Jin, He Jin, I think Zhao Changshi's words are right, you really should abdicate and make way for Xian, Dingping is waiting in Jizhou, and the Dingping Army under his command is the main force to exterminate the Yellow Turban rebels, you transferred him away, who will exterminate the Yellow Turban rebels?" ”

"Your Majesty," he saluted again, and He Jin replied confidently: "The minister has transferred Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou and ordered him to go east to exterminate the Yellow Turban ......."

"Wait!"

Suddenly interrupting He Jin's words, Zhang Rang thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Dong Zhuo? Liangzhou? Then why didn't the general just let that Dong Zhuo go north to fight the Xianbei people? Why do you have to go around in a circle and let the former general go north? ”

"That's right," nodded, and Emperor Han Ling asked puzzledly: "Wouldn't it be better to let the former general exterminate the Yellow Turban Army on the spot and let Dong Zhuo go north?" More hassle-free? ”

As if he had long expected that Emperor Han Ling would have such a question, He Jin replied with a heartfelt voice: "Your Majesty should know that the Dingping Army and the Northern Army under the command of the former general have always been the main force to deal with the Xianbei people, they have dealt with the Xianbei people for the longest time, and they have the most ways to deal with the Xianbei people, so they ordered them to transfer troops to the north to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

He Jin was afraid that Zhang Yi would be too comfortable, and he would beat Zhang Yi's little report whenever he had the opportunity.

"What is excessively demanding? It was the responsibility of his former general to lead his troops north, and what conditions did he mention? He Jin's words made Emperor Han Ling's brows furrow, and after he glanced at Zhuge Jue, he asked He Jin: "What conditions did he propose, you tell me." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Without waiting for He Jin to speak, Zhuge Jue stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my family's request is not too much, my family's Hou Ye just hopes that the general can allocate to us the salary, military food and death pension that belong to our Dingping Army, Your Majesty, the general, our Dingping Army is fighting bloodily in the front, fighting with the Xianbei people, fighting with the Yellow Turban Army, let's lose our troops, the veterans brought out from Hedong County have died forty percent, and the soldiers recruited by the state are also fifty percent, Your Majesty, there are eighty old mothers on those soldiers, There are children who are waiting to be fed, and they need pensions to survive. ”

While speaking, Zhuge Jin burst into tears, and Emperor Han Ling was a little sad.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Zhuge Jue's voice fell, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, who were teammates, also stood up.

Zhang Rangxian said: "Your Majesty, since the day the Dingping Army became an army, the imperial court has not paid food, salaries, ordnance, etc., during this period, all of them were raised by Dingpinghou, as far as the minister knows, Dingpinghou has exhausted his daily routines, and is currently unable to support it, and the minister implores His Majesty to allocate food and salary, and cannot let the soldiers on the front line fight hungry." ”

"Your Majesty," Zhang Rang finished speaking, Zhao Zhong also stood up and said righteously: "At present, the Dingping Army has killed more than 100,000 people, and the minister thinks that the imperial court should give pensions to the soldiers who died in battle, and not let the soldiers shed blood, and then let their relatives shed tears, and when the Han Dynasty is in danger, the minister thinks that the amount of the pension should be doubled, so as to relieve the worries of the soldiers and let them fight harder on the front line, so as to ensure the eternal stability of our Han country." ”

As soon as Zhao Zhong finished speaking, the remaining few people in the ten permanent servants also stood up and shouted, "The ministers seconded it." ”

At this time, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang seemed to be more loyal than the loyal ministers, but in fact, Zhuge Jue reached an agreement with the ten permanent servants, and the imperial court allocated the military salary, military rations and pensions of the Ping Army, and the ten permanent servants had to take away thirty percent, otherwise how could they stand up and speak for the Ding Ping Army.

Seeing that the ten permanent servants all stood up to speak for Zhang Yi, He Jin, who originally wanted to open his mouth to refute, did not speak again, because he knew that what he said now would not change the ending.

In this way, with the strong support of the Ten Standing Servants, the imperial court allocated Zhang Yi 400,000 taels of gold and 1 million stone military rations, and the military salary and 500,000 stone military rations were escorted to Gushan by the Ten Standing Attendants, and the remaining 500,000 stones were escorted to Jizhou by He Jin, but 3,000 of the escort troops were also sent by the Ten Standing Servants, in order to be afraid that He Jin would secretly make trouble.

On the day when the food and wages left Luoyang, several carrier pigeons also flew out of Luoyang, and their directions were all towards Jizhou.
