When He Jin heard this, he said in surprise: "Highway is to say, that Xiliang Jin Ma Chao?" ”

Yuan Shu said solemnly: "Exactly! Jinma is beyond the famous family, and now it has swept Xiliang, and its military achievements are not high. ”

Wu Kuang smiled: "Highway, have you forgotten that Jin Ma Chao is only at the age of bundling his hair?" No matter how jealous Your Majesty is of Duke Ming, he will never replace the general with a child, right? ”

Yuan Shao said: "General Wu's statement is fallacious. Although Jin Ma Chao is young, his father Ma Teng also has military merits. His Majesty can completely threaten Ming Gong with Ma Shoucheng. ”

Yuan Shu echoed: "Brother is right. In my opinion, it is not that the lieutenants want to win over Xiliang Jinma Chao, but that His Majesty instructed the lieutenants to win over Xiliang Jinma Chao. The reason why His Majesty wants to reward Jin Ma Chao is to promote his official title and save capital for the future balance of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, before Han Sui was ambushed, His Majesty had to reward Jin Ma Chao first, in order to wait until Jin Ma Chao killed Han Sui. The two rewards and the gradual promotion of the official title were enough to make Jin Ma Chao soar and threaten the status of the Ming Duke. In the future, even if His Majesty really can't replace Ming Gong with Ma Teng, he can use Jin Ma Chao to balance Ming Gong's power. This is the wisest choice for His Majesty. ”

He Jin's heart was shocked when he heard this, his face changed greatly, he clenched the hilt of his sword with one hand uneasily, and his eyes began to wander.

Yuan Shao said again: "Therefore, my two brothers strongly persuaded Ming Gong to make a decision as soon as possible, and he must curb the power of Jin Ma Chao and his father. Otherwise, not only will the lieutenant take advantage of the momentum of Jin Ma Chao to overpower Ming Gong again, but His Majesty will also use Jin Ma Chao to balance Ming Gong. ”

After speaking, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at He Jin directly, hoping that he would adopt their suggestions.

He Jin lowered his head and did not speak. For a moment, He Jinfang raised his head from the shadows. He Jin did not immediately praise the Yuan brothers, but came to an inexplicable sentence: "Now, how is the battle between Huangfu Song and the Black Mountain Army?" ”

The Yuan brothers looked at each other, not knowing why He Jin suddenly asked about this? Isn't it to deal with the rising Jinma Chao?

Yuan Shao replied: "Duke Ming, Huangfu Song is still fighting hard with the Montenegrin army. Zhang Yan has some talent for leading troops, and the Black Mountain Army under him has a population of one million, and there should be more than 100,000 troops. And Huangfu Song only has tens of thousands of people such as Dong Zhuo, Yuan Peng, and Zhou Shen, who were transferred from Sanfu and were originally used to guard against Bian Zhang Han Sui, although they are more courageous than the Montenegrin army, but they are outnumbered, and they can't take him for a while. However, now the direction of the Montenegrin Army's assistance is in Hanoi County, and it is fighting fiercely with the Hanoi Taishou Zhu Jun's department. I expected that the Montenegrin army would definitely be defeated by Zhu Jun. ”

He Jin was surprised: "How can you see it? ”

Yuan Shao replied: "Because not only Zhu Jun himself is a famous general in the world, but he also has an elite under his command, that is, his family soldiers." When Zhu Jun served in Jiaozhou, he selected 5,000 soldiers, and he first quelled the Lianglong Rebellion in Jiaozhou and forced tens of thousands of people to surrender; He also led his family soldiers to participate in the battle of Changshe, and broke the thieves with Huangfu Song and Meng De; Later, he joined forces with Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie with 10,000 thousands of troops, and in the battle of Wancheng, he led 5,000 soldiers to storm the northeast of Wancheng and entered Wancheng in one fell swoop. Zhu Jun is so elite, and the Montenegrin army is just a group of chaotic people in the final analysis, so Zhu Jun will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Yan. At that time, the threat of the Montenegrin army was lifted, and Huangfu Song could be used by the Ming Duke. ”

He Jin nodded calmly and only said, "Okay." ”

Cao Cao instantly understood He Jin's thoughts, and exclaimed: "Duke Ming wants to transfer Huangfu Song's troops to exterminate Jin Ma Chao?" ”

He Jin was noncommittal, but said indifferently: "Looking at China and abroad, only Huangfu Songzhi is enough to compete with Jinma Chao." Only when he is a veteran will come out of the horse can I feel at ease. ”

Zheng Tai said: "But Huangfu Song has always been foolish and loyal, and only His Majesty is the first to look forward." He also knew that His Majesty was jealous of Ming Gong, so how could he obey Ming Gong's dispatch? ”

He Jin said with a smile: "You forgot, Huangfu Song is the stable dynasty of that person's clan." ”

"Oh!" Everyone immediately realized.

Yuan Shu said flatteringly: "It's still Ming Gong wise!" Since Huangfu Song is from Liangzhou, how could he sit and watch Jinma Chao seize his hometown and threaten Huangfu's interests in Liangzhou? Even if it is not for His Majesty, for his hometown, and his vital interests, Huangfu Song will inevitably gladly obey the will of Ming Gong and go to suppress Jinmachao. ”

He Jin smiled: "Those who know me, the highway is also." ”

"Where, where! Nai Ming Gong is wise. ”

He Jin paused and said, "Send an order to Huangfu Song and teach him to repel the Montenegrin army earlier and achieve a big victory that is enough to deter the Montenegrin army." At that time, as long as Zhang Yan is a smart person, he will definitely ask the court to surrender. ”

Yuan Shu took over the conversation and said with a wicked smile: "Then Duke Ming can push the boat down the river and arbitrarily make Zhang Yan a lieutenant general, a general or something, so as to calm his heart." Then you can justifiably transfer Huangfu Song back and transfer the Guanzhong Sanfu, who is empty of troops. ”

He Jin nodded with Yuan Shu very satisfied, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to ride a tiger, and you will have to allow Huangfu Song and Jinma Chao to have a fierce battle." ”

Yuan Shao also joined the discussion, saying: "Even if Huangfu Song fails to win Jinmachao, as long as he can't hold on, it will be difficult for His Majesty and the Zhongguan to mediate. In this way, who else can Your Majesty use to check and balance Ming Gong? ”

The corners of He Jin's two mouths were almost pulled down to the two earlobes.

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Congratulations to Ming Gong, another big trouble has been solved." ”

"Hahaha!" In the shogunate, laughter lasted for nine days.

…………………………………………

On the other side, after retreating from the dynasty, the ten permanent servants gathered around Liu Hong, the son of heaven, to rest in the side hall, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, one beat his legs, and the other rubbed his shoulders; The rest of the ten permanent attendants, some peeling fruits, some pouring water, and some fanning the wind, made Liu Hong unhappy.

Zhang Rang sneered and said, "Your Majesty, is this strength still appropriate?" ”

Liu Hong closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while, and said, "Suitable, suitable." Or you slave is the most understanding. ”

The "father" in front of the hundred officials became a "slave" after arriving at the hundred officials. ”

Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Your Majesty didn't see it just now, so He Gong's face has changed several times?" ”

Zhao Zhong also sneered: "Yes, the slave also saw it, He Gong seems to hate this Jin Ma Chao very much." ”

Liu Hong didn't open his eyes, he just blindly enjoyed the service of ten people, and said expressionlessly: "He is not just annoying!" In fact, it is a taboo! ”

Cao Jie put a petal of citrus into Liu Hong's mouth, and said with a sneer: "If you want to be a slave, what else does He Gong have to be afraid of others?" The queen is his sister, and the general is his brother; The great Confucian Lu Zhi worked side by side with him and took charge of state affairs; Even Mrs. Yuan, who has always been high and self-controlled, was willing to give his two nephews to him as a staff member; The world's lieutenant generals and school captains, aren't they all obeying the orders of the public? The power is so high, I'm afraid that Wang Mang will be difficult to reach, right? ”

Liu Hong didn't speak again, just chewed the sweet and juicy citrus in his mouth.

Hou Lan also said: "That's it! In terms of power, the queen's dignity is also higher than that of He Gong. But Her Royal Highness the Queen treats us, but she is gentle and peaceful on weekdays, and she never underestimates us. We are just crippled people, and Her Royal Highness the Queen treats us like this, which shows that there is really the ceremony of the mother of the country, which is a good family of His Majesty, and it is a blessing for all people. And He Gong and Her Royal Highness the Queen are from the same cell, but they regard us as enemies, and they don't talk about half of their feelings. It can be seen that this really responds to the saying 'the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them is different'. ”

Liu Hong still didn't speak, just listened to the gossip of the officials, but he no longer chewed the citrus in his mouth, and swallowed it in one bite.

Xia Yun on the side also said angrily: "That's it! I heard that He Gong's staff members also hated it so much, and they couldn't wait to tear the slaves to pieces! Slandering slaves and others is a eunuch and a eunuch! The slave thought, although the slave is a eunuch, but he is still the favored slave of His Majesty, isn't it? Shall they be allowed to slander? ”

Liu Hong said leisurely: "The queen is not easy to match!" Her favorite concubine, Wang Meiren, and the Queen Mother's favorite prince, are already very angry. If it weren't for the persuasion of you slaves, I would have abolished the He clan a long time ago! How can she allow her brother to be in court? In the final analysis, it is still a slave who values love and righteousness! ”
