Chapter 223: Everywhere you look, you're all thieves
Just after Qin Yu copied Cai Yong's entry for [Bogu Tongjin].
Liu Hong finally reacted after the battle reports from all over the country.
He Jin, who was Yin of Henan at the time, was directly worshiped as a general, and led the five battalions of the Yulin Army to be stationed in Duting.
Weapons on the hour, Zhen Wei Jing Division.
It also comes from Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Xuanyuan, Spiral, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other passes.
Set up a garrison of the captain.
At the same time, he issued an edict to all localities to strictly guard against it, and ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle.
Train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.
At this time, Liu Hong still didn't have much real concept of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Whether it was in his opinion or in the eyes of those eunuchs around him.
These ordinary people who have risen up are really not a threat.
As long as the imperial court is armed, and the states and counties are suppressed, these rebellious exiles will naturally be suppressed quickly.
However, the scholars in the court knew it very well.
This time the Yellow Turban Rebellion is completely different from ordinary homeless uprisings.
In their original plan.
If this peaceful uprising does not reach a sufficient threat.
Then there won't be any substantial benefit for them.
The Han Dynasty has been stable for too long, too long.
Especially in these troubled times.
Ordinary people still have a lot of difficulties even to eat enough, how can they use their meager strength to fight against the elite soldiers of the imperial court?
It is precisely because of this that these families chose to fund Taiping Road in the first place.
It's just that they obviously can't think of it.
Taipingdao put them together before the incident.
Zhang Jiao used incredible means to elevate the tens of millions of ordinary homeless people into strong men with full blood and iron bones before the incident.
In just an instant, the strength of Taiping Dao far exceeded the expectations of those families.
It even made them truly appreciate what it means to play with fire and set themselves on fire.
However, these families are not flustered.
For them, none of this really matters.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, in the future, that horn can really gain the momentum and destroy the world of the Han Dynasty.
So what?
They will just change their identities, and they will continue to be active in this world in the future.
As for now......
It is very early for the Han Dynasty to be defeated.
However, if His Majesty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is really stubborn and ignorant.
Then don't blame them for not giving face.
When the time comes, as long as they choose to stand with those who are in peace.
In this general trend of the world, even if it is Liu Hong, how can he confront it?
But that's just the final choice.
Until they are completely at a dead end, these families will not easily embark on this road.
For them.
If you want to fight against the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty, you will inevitably pay a huge price.
And after Zhang Jiao entered the imperial court, he didn't know what would happen at that time.
These unknowns are costs to them.
Compared to carrying such a large cost.
It must be more comfortable to be able to suck blood freely in this rotten land without burdening anything.
Half a month later.
The situation soon deteriorated everywhere.
With the battle reports of the twenty-eight counties of seven states, they were sent to Luoyang like snowflakes.
Liu Hong also sensed a huge threat that began to permeate his head.
And the eunuchs who have always chosen to confront them and suppress them are naturally very clear about what the scholars want.
At this time, Lu Jiang, a member of the Central Committee, admonished Liu Hong: "The party has been accumulating for a long time, if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, you will regret it and there is no help." ”
Liu Hong naturally knows that it is powerful.
If it were a normal day, Liu Hong would naturally continue to suppress these party members.
But now......
There is no way to repent of it......
Subsequently, Liu Hong issued an edict to amnesty the party.
Return of exiled criminals from all over the country.
Then he asked the ministers in the court to donate horses, crossbows, and weapons.
Recommend the children of the generals and the people with a deep strategy to the bus department for interviews.
In this way, the various families naturally have no more dissatisfaction.
They get what they want.
Liu Hong relieved them of the party and gave them enough positions to serve as their upward channel.
Aren't the generals and children recommended by this recommendation just the military merits prepared for them?
As long as they have military merits, after the Yellow Turban Army is pacified, they will naturally be able to get the position they want.
At the same time, these families must also have enough sincerity.
For example, those horses, crossbows, weapons, etc., this is the condition that Liu Hong put forward for them!
All of this is nothing more than an exchange of interests.
And in this exchange of interests, everyone above got what they wanted.
In the end, the only ones who suffered were those who had been oppressed and had to revolt.
Afterwards.
Liu Hong sent elite troops to suppress the chaos in various places.
Ling Lu Zhi led the deputy general to lead the five colonels of the Northern Army, responsible for the northern front, and dealt with Zhang Jiao's main force.
He also ordered Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead an army each, controlling the five schools, the knights of the three rivers, and the village warriors who had just been recruited, totaling more than 40,000 people.
Go to the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.
Zhu Jun also recruited Sun Jian of Xiapi as the Sima of the auxiliary army, and took the recruited more than 1,000 people to merge into Zhu Jun's army.
At the Great Pilgrimage.
These matters have been carefully discussed by the various ministers.
And at this very time.
A battle report that came over broke the situation that had finally stabilized at the court meeting at this time.
"Is there even a Yellow Turban Army rebellion in Nanyang County!"
Liu Hong looked at the battle report in front of him, and he was suddenly furious.
"Then what does Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong do! Nanyang County, a huge county, was able to be captured by the Yellow Turban Army! ”
"Damn it, damn it!"
In the face of rebellions in other places, Liu Hong did not show the slightest anger, but at this time, he seemed to be furious.
However, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew very well why this was.
Isn't it because the saint who is now constantly providing them with divine water is in Nanyang?
At this time, Nanyang County, Zhiwan City was occupied.
Najianyang County is only more than 40 miles away from Wancheng.
How could those Yellow Turban Army, who were like wolves and tigers, and even Wancheng had been attacked, let go of Jianyang County?
Where could Liu Hong have thought that in this peaceful and prosperous world under his rule, there would be people who suddenly wanted to rebel!
And as soon as they rebelled, they had already gathered such a large force.
Before this, he had only heard of the benefits of the Taiping Dao, but had not heard of the idea of the Taiping Dao intending to cause chaos.
He didn't believe that the guards of the counties he had sent out were waste.
Didn't they notice even the slightest thing wrong?
Now that I think about it, these people must have already discovered that something was wrong.
But they chose not to report it.
This made Liu Hong only feel a surge of anger in his chest.
My great foundation of the Han Dynasty is about to be wiped out by guys like you!
Good to die!
It's good to die!
Liu Hong looked at the news of the killing of officials from all over the country in those war reports, and he only felt extremely happy for a while.
Soon, though.
This exhilarating feeling turned into a deep sense of helplessness.
Because in the end, it was not only those scholars who chose to deceive him, not only those families.
And these most trusted eunuchs around him!
When Taiwei Yang Ci said that Taiping Dao had objections, Liu Hong once asked them.
As a result, they refuted what Taiwei Yang Ci said.
In the end, Liu Hong felt that Yang Ci was simply looking for trouble.
Now it's better.
Liu Hong once again thought of the strategies that Yang Ci had said at the beginning.
If it is on the same day, do what Yang Ci said.
How could Taiping Road have developed to such a point today?
How could it be possible to cause such turmoil in the world?
Does Liu Hong regret it?
Regret.
But now for him, regret is all useless.
At this time, as far as the eye can see, the court is full of anti-thieves.
Scholars and families are obstacles to him, and they are the biggest obstacles to him from changing this Han world for the better.
They seem to be doing things for themselves, but all the plans behind them are based on their own family.
They and themselves are fundamentally interdependent and enemies of each other.
Liu Hong seems to have seen this very clearly.
He could only trust the eunuchs.
But unexpectedly, after he gave those eunuchs enough trust.
They have not become more faithful to themselves because of this trust.
On the contrary, because he trusted them too much, he planted countless curses for himself.
Liu Hong only felt that his mind was in chaos now.
He didn't know what he was supposed to do anymore.
He couldn't believe the eunuchs and the scholars.
But if he doesn't trust these people and can't use them, then who else can he use?
In comparison.
These damn dog eunuchs are all dog traitors, though.
But there is no doubt about their faithfulness.
It's just that the ability of these dog thieves is too poor, and their vision is really too poor.
There will only be constant infighting in the palace, and it is too difficult to entrust them with important tasks.
But Liu Hong couldn't do anything.
Could it be that he could still abandon these eunuchs in his hands now, and instead trust the scholars who were not loyal to him at all, but finally the family behind them?
At this time, if you don't go all the way to the dark.
I'm afraid he won't know how to die until he dies in the end.
Breaking the game?
How to break the game!
Liu Hong thought sadly.
When I cast four Zhongxing swords, I just thought about using these four Zhongxing swords to keep the town peaceful.
There is also peace and tranquility in this day.
But I didn't expect that the ending now would be like this.
I don't know what happened to him in Nanyang County now, sir?
I don't know if sir, will he be able to resist those damn Yellow Turbans?
How could I have believed the words of these dog officials in the first place, and actually gave my husband a position as a county magistrate?
How many soldiers can a county commander command?
Facing those Yellow Turban Army who are like wolves and tigers, they can even conquer the big one.
How can the gentleman resist them?
But tens of millions.
But don't let anything happen!
Liu Hong prayed in his heart.
He also tried to comfort himself.
But no matter what you think.
He felt that Qin Yu could not survive under the offensive of those Yellow Turban Army with the strength of a single Thorn County.
If Qin Yu had really died under the swords of those Yellow Turban Army now.
Liu Hong felt that his only hope might be gone.
He had already handed over the Zhongxing Sword to Qin Yu before.
In his heart, Qin Yu is the person who can lead the entire Han to prosper again.
But such a person is going to fall into the hands of those turbulent Yellow Turban Army.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong felt that the anger in his body could no longer be suppressed.
And at this time.
He Jin, the general who had already decided to make him guard the capital, took a step forward directly and said: "Your Majesty, since there is already a rebellion by the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County, please send troops to suppress the bandits as soon as possible." ”
"The last general is not talented, I am willing to lead the soldiers under my command to go!"
I heard that Nanyang County was also making trouble with the Yellow Turbans, and the movement of the Yellow Turban Army was so big.
He Jin's heart also cooled all of a sudden.
Leave all the intercourse behind.
If you look at it purely for profit, Qin Yu is definitely someone he can't let go of now.
You must know that now he is just sitting in the capital Luoyang, and every month, a large amount of divine water will be delivered to him through Thornyang City.
He only had to pay the cost price given by Thorn Sun City to be able to eat those divine waters.
After that, they will sell these divine waters through their own channels.
This comes and goes, and what you earn is a lot of money!
It's so easy to come by.
It's even more profitable than the money-making businesses that his He family has accumulated now.
It has become a share that they cannot afford to sell.
Cutting off people's financial means is tantamount to killing your parents!
That's how He Jin feels now.
Once Qin Yu really had a problem.
How can he make up for this loss in the future?
And it wasn't just the loss of money that annoyed him the most.
He'd already found out by now.
After drinking a certain amount of divine water, it will have a great impact on a person's physical fitness.
And the smaller the effect, the more obvious it will be in the people.
He now relies on the amount of divine water in his hands, and he will not sell all the divine water every time.
Instead, at least half of the amount will be left to supply to the young children of their Lao He family.
Didn't you family members of the fourth world and the third prince say that there is no one in my old He family who has no background?
Then just wait.
Just give me another ten years.
Ten years from now, there will definitely be a large number of young heroes in my He family.
When the time comes, I will see that any of you will dare to say that there is no one in my family?
This kind of thing is a major matter related to the future survival of their He family.
How could He Jin not be concerned now?
If Qin Yu really couldn't resist those damn Yellow Turban Army.
He's terrible!
Liu Hong saw He Jin stand up first to express his position, and he finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart.
However, now He Jin, who is a general, is going to defend the capital division.
If he was really allowed to lead his troops away, Liu Hong would inevitably feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Just when Liu Hong was still a little hesitant here.
I only heard that someone in the court stood up again.
"Your Majesty, the general is the person who guards the Jingshi, you can't act rashly, your subordinates are not talented, I am willing to lead a group of people and horses to Nanyang to suppress bandits!"
Everyone sees it as someone else, it is Cao Cao, who is a speaker.
Liu Hong looked at Cao Cao who stood up, his brows furrowed slightly.
"What do you think?"
Liu Hong did not respond directly, but looked at the Gonggong Zhugong above the court and asked.
No surprises.
There were many people in the court who nodded directly.
Cao Cao's family background is truly extraordinary.
And whatever Cao Cao has in mind, these people in the family have the same idea.
What is the Taiping Road in Nanyang?
They didn't specifically deal with Nanyang Taiping Dao at all, but selected the elite and went straight to Thorn Yang City.
That's what they're really aiming for.
It's just that when they arrived at Yang Ci, neither Yang Ci nor Yang Biao nodded, and everyone couldn't say it too clearly.
However, the Taifu Yuan Kui recognized Cao Cao.
In the court, he said a few kind words.
Liu Hong's face was gloomy, even after Yuan Kui said it, he didn't say anything.
By this time, He Jin had already understood.
This is obviously because Liu Hong doesn't want him to go, but he doesn't know who to send to the rescue.
So He Jin's heart moved, and a familiar figure appeared in his mind.
"Your Majesty, the minister suddenly thought of a person, who may be able to solve the urgent needs of Nanyang County."
He Jin said directly.
Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately responded: "Who is it?" Come on! ”
He Jin confidently looked at the princes on the side, and then at Cao Cao, who was standing in the court at this time, with a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
Cao Cao looked at He Jin's expression, and his brows only furrowed.
There was a lot of disgust in my heart, but I just endured it and didn't show it.
Cao Cao really wanted to know, who can He Jin say now?
He really didn't believe that with He Jin's vision, he could pick out any suitable people to solve the danger of Nanyang at this time.
Even Nanyang County Zhiwan City can be breached, and it is expected that just one Thorn Yang City will definitely not last long.
At this time, I didn't know what Thorn Yang City was like.
Even Cao Cao himself knew that he would definitely not be able to directly conquer those Yellow Turban troops when he led his troops over.
In the past, he was just going to Thorn Sun City.
If possible, he would even join forces with those Yellow Turban Army to take down Thorn Yang City.
As long as the divine water and those paper-making processes are in hand, it is a worthwhile trip.
But this is not to say that Cao Cao himself is so unconfident in himself.
The most critical.
In fact, the imperial court's strength is now stretched.
At most, there are only a few thousand troops that can be distributed.
It's just the size of a few thousand people, how can it compete with those who have breached the county rule Wan City.
The Yellow Turban Army, which numbered at least tens of thousands, was facing the enemy head-on?
And the person He Jin wants to elect.
His purpose is certainly different from his own.
Cao Cao was confident that if he was allowed to go to rescue Thorn Yang City wholeheartedly, he might need to work hard to have such a glimmer of chance.
But how can He Jin's subordinates have this ability to compare with their own candidates?
No kidding!
He has no connections and no accumulation, why?
Cao Cao is confident that his ability in this Han court, not to mention the best, is definitely the number one in the front.
How can you enter and dedicate yourself to finding someone who can compare with me?
Cao Cao sneered in his heart.
Not surprisingly, the princes above the court also had the same idea as Cao Cao at this moment.
Cao Cao is not only a family background, but also his own ability is very admirable.
Otherwise, it would not have been unanimously recognized by so many people on the surface.
He Jin didn't care about everyone's reaction.
He just faced Liu Hong and said very confidently: "This person recommended by the minister is none other than Your Majesty, your brother, Liu Bei, who is currently the county lieutenant of Zhuo County, Liu Xuande!" ”
