Chapter 149: Xiliang is unfavorable
The king of the right valley of the Xiongnu went to Bei, led 10,000 Huns, sent troops to Wuzhou County, and came towards Yanmen Pass. Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo personally led an army of 30,000 into Shuofang County to support his two sons at any time.
The situation is abnormal and in crisis, I hope that Wang Gang can send some more soldiers to support, otherwise I am afraid that if Yanmen County cannot be defended, then the entire Yanmen County, and even the entire annexed state, will fall into the hands of the Huns.
Wang Gang didn't dare to delay, and took Zhang Liao's letter and hurriedly walked towards the door of the mansion.
In the General's Palace.
The great general He Jin has been a little bored recently, it should be said that Wang Gang has been a little bored since he was appointed General Anton, and he should have opposed it when Emperor Liu Hong appointed Wang Gang as General Anton. But at that time, no one was optimistic that Wang Gang would be able to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yuzhou with 2,000 soldiers, and he returned to Luoyang well.
Today, the general's mansion held a banquet, the general He Jin sat in the first place, the general on the left was engaged in Kuaiyue, the general Zhonglang He Hao, and a group of staff members such as, Zheng Tai, Chen Ji, Wang Kuang, Wu Qiong and Chen Lin. On the right is He Miao, the general of the cavalry, Xu Rong, the general of the five officials, and the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy, Hu Ben, the general of the Zhonglang Yuan. Tun Cavalry Captain Bao Hong, Dian Military Captain Lang Cao Cao, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang and other generals.
Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were a little close to Wang Gang, they still had to obey the orders of the general He Jin, and as for why He Jin came to them today, everyone knew it.
After three rounds of drinking, He Jin spoke.
"The progress of the war in Xiliang is not good, and now the treasury is empty, what are your good plans?"
In fact, everyone knows the battle situation in Xiliang, at that time, the veteran Lu Zhi went to Xiliang with the heart of death, although he put down some rebellions, but now the weather is cooler and the logistics are insufficient. As long as the rebels hold out for another month, the army will be defeated.
Now He Jin is also a little worried, worried that Xiliang's army will be defeated, and Liu Hong will once again propose to let He Jin lead the troops to Xiliang. This is the last thing he wants.
The others naturally knew He Jin's thoughts, and Chen Lin, who sat down with his hand, spoke.
"You can play Your Majesty, send the soldiers of Xiyuan, and hand them over to Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo to support the general of Zhengxi"
He Jin nodded when he heard this, this is also what he can think of. But before he could speak, Xu Rong on the right side spoke.
"Dong Zhuo has already come to Luoyang, he must have seen His Majesty, I'm afraid he is unwilling to lead troops to Liangzhou to support General Zhengxi"
Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang to see Liu Hong He Jin naturally knew that this Dong Zhuo was also a tiger general, but I don't know why, he didn't go to Liangzhou with Lu Zhi, but hid in Chang'an for half a year, and now he came to Luoyang again, I don't know what his plans are.
"This can't help him, as long as we wait for the joint performance, it is not easy for His Majesty to object," Chen Lin said disdainfully.
"Since Dong Zhuo has come to Beijing, he must have already made contact with other officials, and I am afraid that this matter will not work."
An old man sitting next to Kuai Yue squinted his eyes slightly and said slowly, he is He Hao. He Jin is the most important.
"What is the high opinion of Boqiu" Boqiu is the word of He Hao. He Jin called him like this, which made the two more cordial.
"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, but his subordinates thought that Dong Zhuo's affairs needed to be considered in the long run, and His Majesty regarded Dong Zhuo as a confidant, and he would not be easily sent to Liangzhou, so let's think about others."
When everyone heard He Hao's words, they couldn't help but nodded, it is not a secret that Liu Hong prefers Dong Zhuo, when he was the state pastor last year, only Dong Zhuo was not a royal family, and the emperor could see this person.
"Is there a suitable candidate for that?" He Jin asked again.
"General Anton is young and promising, Yunwen Yunwu, but he can be of great use" He Hao spoke, lowered his head and stopped talking.
He Miao next to him heard He Hao praising Wang Gang was a little unhappy at first, but in a blink of an eye, he figured it out, this was a boast, this was afraid that Wang Gang would not die fast enough, so he couldn't help but be happy again.
He Jin listened to He Hao's words, and suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.
Cao Cao, who was sitting in the corner, listened to He Hao's words, and sighed in his heart, although he had a great opinion about Wang Gang's upcoming marriage to the county lord of Huanting, but he still had a good feeling for Wang Gang, but he was helpless, and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Shao. The two nodded knowingly.
Wang Lin laughed a few times and said sarcastically. "Mr. He's words are wrong, if you want to say that Wang Gang has some force, it's okay, but if you want to say that you are both civil and military, I'm afraid you want to laugh off the big teeth of Luoyang City, I heard that I am still learning etiquette with Xun everyone, what is the difference between this and children?"
Next to him, Bao Hong sneered and said, "There is some force, I'm afraid it can't be said, and it can't withstand the two guards of the General's Mansion, this is called some force, Mr. Wang is afraid that his understanding of the word force is a little biased."
A group of staff members also laughed, Wang Gang was low in knowledge and did not know etiquette, which has become the consensus of Luoyang and even the entire Yuzhou. But he also married the daughter of a generation of Confucian Cai Yong, and the key is not a wife. It has already caused the dissatisfaction of many readers, so everyone has no scruples when it comes to Wang Gang.
He Jin coughed lightly twice, pulled everyone's attention back, and spoke.
"Then I will show your majesty tomorrow, and when General Anton gets married, I will lead the troops to Xiliang, if Your Majesty does not agree, I just take his position as General Anton, so as not to dangle in front of my eyes and annoy people."
Every time he went to the court, he saw a Wang Gang standing behind him, and He Jin was on fire. Although Wang Gang didn't participate in the early dynasty much, even if he participated in the early dynasty, he was basically silent, looking drowsy.
The crowd drank until two watches before they dispersed, but at this time, there was a carriage in Ximen, which came to Luoyang City at night and headed towards the palace.
Today is the second day of the ninth month, and in four days it will be the day of marriage with the county lord, Wang Gang didn't sleep well all night, and yesterday he discussed with Zhang Yi, Jia Xu, and Wang Yun until late and didn't discuss a good strategy. When he returned to the house, he was informed that he wanted to participate in the early dynasty. Wang Gang came to the palace with a yawn on his face, and followed the ministers into the main hall.
Emperor Liu Hong didn't sleep well last night, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was a few years older. waved his hand to flatten everyone and glanced at the civil and military below. The color of dissatisfaction is palpable.
Today was not the day of the early dynasty, the emperor informed the early dynasty that something big must happen, and the ministers below did not dare to say anything, waiting for the emperor to tell the matter and then make plans.
Dong Zhuo turned to a pair of big round eyes, looked around a few times, saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, turned his fat body, took two small steps forward, and said prostrate on the ground.
"The situation in Liangzhou is unfavorable, there is a shortage of food, grass and ordnance, and the weather is getting colder, so I implore Your Majesty to send troops to help"
The ministers knew that Dong Zhuo must have come to Luoyang to ask for help, but now that the imperial court has no troops to send, the imperial court cannot sit idly by and let the situation in Xiliang deteriorate. At this time, naturally no one answered.
The emperor glanced at the ministers, his dissatisfaction became even more serious, and he couldn't help but snort coldly and spoke.
"Who does the general think should be sent to lead troops to support General Zhengxi?"
