Chapter 118: Movement in the Capital
"You are all dumb - so many princes and ministers, civil and military officials, is this how you eat the king's fortune and are loyal to the king? cough, cough...... Water-" Emperor Liu Hong's face was flushed and red, and his eyes were deeply sunken, he had not stayed in the palace in Luoyang City for a period of time, but lived in a garden specially built for him by the eunuch Zhang Rang for his enjoyment, and the people outside called it the West Garden. The West Garden is full of eunuchs Zhang Rang using his identity to forcibly seize a lot of novel and strange things to please Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, Liu Hong has always been addicted to it and can't extricate himself, and rarely goes to the palace hall to the early dynasty. The location of the court meeting was changed to this Xiyuan, from the Taiping Road has been more than a month, all over the country has reported the fall of the county war report, the most serious place is Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou, even near Sili there are yellow turban thieves infested. At this moment, Liu Hongke couldn't sit still at all, but he didn't expect that just a few bandits would develop into a military disaster. How do you know that the civil and military officials who are usually-for-tat above the early dynasty are all dumb, and they almost made Liu Hong breathless and returned to the sky directly, and saw his ancestor Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
The eunuchs around him hurriedly handed Liu Hong ginseng tea, Liu Hong finally took a sip and finally took a breath, he squinted and saw that none of these ministers were willing to give advice for themselves, so he could only stand up and leave angrily.
The remaining civil and military officials are not willing to come forward, they are waiting for a suitable opportunity, in order to prevent his status from being threatened, Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is not allowed to form a party for personal gain, this is the bottom line that Liu Hong is most unwilling to touch. When everyone was still stunned, he walked out of a small yellow door with an edict in his hand, paused and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, please stay, Your Majesty has a decree, and the general He Jin will take the decree - you can lead the five battalions of Yulin on the left and right to stay in the capital pavilion, and guard the Beijing division with weapons on the hour; Ordered Hangu Pass, Datani, Guangcheng, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other passes leading to Jingshi to strengthen the defense; He also ordered all states and counties to strictly guard and prepare for battle, train soldiers, and order weapons on the spot, and recruit rebels on the spot to kill the Taiping Road rebels. This matter was arranged by the general He Jin, and he must remember to exterminate this group of traitors. Chin this——! ”
He Jin had no choice but to take the edict head-on, and the other officials looked like they were watching jokes, and they all stepped forward to congratulate the general on his success and triumphant. And He Jin's only thought at this time was to find someone who could discuss how to deploy troops to suppress bandits, first of all, the figure that flashed in his mind turned out to be Zhou Yu, this kid gave himself too many surprises at the beginning, but there was no news for a few months, only the money and horses sent by the people every month to honor himself, what a good boy!
He Jin refused all entertainment and returned directly to the mansion, called his son He Yun to the study, handed him a letter and immediately sent it to Biyue Xuan, and lit three points of fire paint on the letter, indicating that it was very urgent! He Jin was preparing to summon the staff, generals, and lieutenants in the palace to come to the palace to discuss the military situation, but he knew that after the dynasty was dispersed this morning, the thoughts of the civil and military officials in the city were all active.
The first movement is to return to Beijing to report on the work of the Beidi Taishou Emperor Fu Song, this person is loyal to the monarch patriotic and angrily reprimanded the eunuchs for disorderly government before being degraded to the edge of the north, at this moment the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out to endanger the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, he saw from the wind of the early dynasty that the Son of Heaven Liu Hong intended to send troops to quell the rebellion, so he wrote a letter to ask the Son of Heaven Liu Hong to lift the party ban, take out the palace money and Xiyuan horses to give to the sergeants, improve the morale of the Han army. This is not the end, and the same eunuch group within a wonderful flower in the regular servant Lu Qiang usually asks to reprimand the traitor, Ren Zhongliang, Bo Fu, Hou Nongsang, open the way, Emperor Liu Hong knows that he is loyal to himself, but if he reuses Lu Qiang, then he will not be able to enjoy himself, there is no way but to keep Lu Qiang and entrust him with important tasks, the Yellow Turban Riot made the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong six gods ownerless, Lu Qiang picked this time and said to the Emperor Ling: "The disaster of the party has been accumulated for a long time, if they conspire with the Yellow Turban thieves, when the time comes, if they really let them cooperate inside and outside, The society of the Han Dynasty was in danger. ”
Emperor Han Ling, sitting in front of the table, hesitated, the disaster of the party has been since ancient times, if it is not suppressed, his Han would have been finished long ago, he couldn't help but turn his head to Zhang Rang who was on the side, in his heart to face his best person is his father Zhang Rang, since he became a treasure, as long as he wants to play, his father has tried every means to satisfy himself, but he is willing to bear the infamy of confusing the king, what eunuchs are chaotic that are all the excuses for the party members to fight for power.
"Father—sit down! I want to ask you, should you reinstate these party members? Lu Qiang's words are also a concern of mine, whether they can be used by me if they reuse the party, and there is also this recital of the Emperor Fu Song of the Northland, you see! Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang, who was older than himself, with gray temples but still serving himself wholeheartedly, he called his father and regarded him as a father, but Zhang Rang was always just a slave in front of him, and he didn't know how to hold a shelf at all - what is a smart person, this is a smart person!
"Your Majesty - the old slave thinks that it is still His Majesty's Jiangshan Sheji is the most important, no matter what kind of knife and sword as long as there is a sheath in it, it will not be able to show its edge, Your Majesty holds the sword in his hand, and the slave family is those scabbards and scabbards, as long as His Majesty wants to let anyone rest, the old slave will let him unload his armor and return to the field. Judging from the current situation, the Yellow Turban Army and the Party members are nothing more than using the old slave to deceive His Majesty, but there is a difference between them, the Party just wants to fight for a position in the court, and the Yellow Turban thieves want to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Please consider which is more important, the old slave is a slave, and some things will be done well for Your Majesty, so as to eliminate Your Majesty's worries. "Zhang Rang has experienced so many things, he knows that as long as Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is in one day, he Zhang Rang can enjoy a day, what is the disaster of the party is just an excuse for those scholars and wealthy nobles to fight for power and profit, and now the top priority is to protect the Han Dynasty, and the biggest threat at present is the Yellow Turban thief, but he doesn't say it but let Liu Hong make his own decisions, sometimes what should be said and what should not be said, this is the truth of being a slave.
Liu Hong nodded and waved his hand, and Zhang Rang and Lu Qiang slowly retreated. After a night of thinking, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, accepted the proposal of Huangfu Song and Lu Qiang, and the next day he granted amnesty to the party and returned the prisoners held in various places, and asked the ministers of the court to donate war horses and crossbows, and recommended the descendants of the generals and people with deep strategies to be interviewed at the bus office.
Finally, after the court discussion, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty boldly appointed Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, Huangfu Song as the general of Zuozhonglang, and Zhu Jun as the general of the right Zhonglang. Lu Zhi recruited more than 40,000 sergeants to go to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, while Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun went to Yuzhou and Sili to clear the Yellow Turban Army.
Zhou Yu set up an ambush with Guo Jia in Wu County and killed Qu Shuai Wu Huan in one fell swoop, and they captured about 3,000 remnants of Wu Huan's soldiers; Wu County City was broken open by Dian Wei by the night, and after the Quartet captured Wu County, he gathered the 3,000 county soldiers who were captured before and killed about 20,000 Yellow Turban Army, and finally captured about 8,000 Yellow Turban Army, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army had scattered and fled-
"Report - Yangzhou Urgent! Please return to Yangzhou as soon as possible-" When Zhou Yu and the others were counting the spoils of Wu County, a team of men and horses suddenly came from outside the city to deliver an urgent military report.
"What? Outside Yangzhou City, about 50,000 Yellow Turban troops were besieged, and Brother Zhongde asked us to return to the division to rescue quickly! Zhou Yu, who read the military report, was shocked, he really couldn't figure out where this group of people came from, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought-
