Chapter 150: Ding Yuan Luoyang
If it hadn't been for yesterday's discussion, He Jin would naturally have said to let Dong Zhuo lead the troops forward, and now when he heard His Majesty the Emperor ask himself, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
"Back to Your Majesty, General Anton is resourceful and has the heart to protect the country and the people, why not send General Anton to solve the trouble of Xiliang"
Wang Gang was stunned when he heard this, how could there be his own affairs here, and before Wang Gang could speak, Xun Shuang stepped forward and said.
"General Anton and the county lord of Huanting are about to get married, how can they lead troops to the battle, Weichen thinks that the general of Che Cai can lead the troops to the battle, and the war of He Che Cai in Yuzhou is also remarkable, I think I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
Emperor Liu Hong couldn't help but nod after listening to Xun Shuang's words, his mood eased slightly, and he said to He Jin.
"Let General Anton go, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't agree, I'm afraid that this matter can only be ridden by Lao He's car"
He Jin was a little speechless for a moment, he had never cared about Wang Gang and the county lord getting married, but now it seems that the emperor had already planned to do so, and repeatedly used this excuse to prevaricate, and looked at Yang Biao and Yuan Feng for help.
Yang Biao could only take a step forward and speak.
"The county lord and General Anton are married, so naturally they can't lead troops to the expedition now, they can wait until the two get married and then lead the troops to go out, and when General Anton returns from a great victory, it will definitely be a good story."
Yuan Feng also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty can allow General Anton to marry and then lead troops to the expedition after ten days, and General Anton will not object if he wants to come."
The ministers seconded the motion.
The ministers also knelt down, since Situ Sikong said to let General Anton go, and the others also agreed, but Xun Shuang and Wang Yun stood in the center with iron faces, looking outstanding.
As for Cai Yong, he is even more reluctant for Wang Gang to lead troops to the battle, and now that Cai Yan is pregnant, if Wang Gang does not return, what should he do.
Emperor Liu Hong saw the ministers kneeling below, and his heart was furious, this is his civil and military officials, who have already fallen to the general He Jin, but he has no waves in his heart at the moment, and he can't help but sneer.
"Since all Aiqing thinks that General Anton is suitable, then I have no objection."
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and everyone sighed in their hearts, Your Majesty agreed so happily, I am afraid that this matter is not simple, originally they didn't want Wang Gang to lead the troops to the west, but just wanted to resolve the situation Your Majesty let He Miao lead the troops, but now Your Majesty actually agreed, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple.
Sure enough, Liu Hong glanced at everyone and nodded at Zhang Rang beside him.
Zhang Rang took a few steps forward, a touch of ridicule overflowed, and he came to the door of the lobby and said.
"Assassin Sting"
He Jin was suddenly confused, Situ Yuan Feng and Sikong Yang Biao were still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the door of the main hall, only to see a man who was more than seven feet tall, burly, with a melancholy face, walked into the hall with hurried steps, and knelt in the center of the hall.
"And the state of the assassin Shi Ding Yuan, meet Your Majesty"
"Ding Tingshi, inform the ministers of the matter of the Xiongnu in the state, so that they can discuss and who to send troops" Liu Hong didn't let everyone get up, just knelt on the ground, listening to Ding Yuan explain things clearly little by little, the ministers consciously turned their eyes black, trembled, and almost fell to the ground.
"The Xiongnu rebelled in the state, raised more than 100,000 troops, and pointed to the state, who do you think should be sent to quell the Xiongnu rebellion?"
He Jin was also pale, not to mention that there were no soldiers in the imperial court now, even if there were soldiers, there was no advantage in the face of the Hun army. Yang Biao and Yuan Feng were also full of bitterness, at this critical moment, the Xiongnu rebelled, which was much more serious than the matter of Xiliang.
"Your Majesty, the Huns are in rebellion, and all they ask for is some property, so don't let a messenger be sent to ask the Huns what they want, and then make plans" Yuan Feng calmed down a little and said.
"Yuan Situ, did you let the Han surrender without a fight, the Xiongnu rebellion raised more than 100,000 troops, do you think a single bit of property can be sent" Wang Yun stared at Yuan Feng and said word by word.
The hall was suddenly very quiet, especially the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, one by one buried their heads and did not dare to raise their heads.
"The old minister thought that he could hand over Yunzhong County to the Huns, maybe they would retreat" Yang Biao couldn't help but speak, but even he wouldn't believe this excuse, now Yunzhong County is already in the hands of the Huns, and if you take this as a condition, the Huns will definitely not buy it.
Wang Gang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, thinking about making peace before the fight started, and couldn't help but speak.
"I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, the Huns wolf ambitions, repeatedly harassing the surrounding areas, and now they are committing on a large scale, they should send troops to recruit rebellion, if they seek peace at this time, it will only boost the arrogance of the Huns, if other foreign races follow suit, then the Han will be swept away, and the surrounding counties will have no peace."
"What General Anton said is extremely true, the Xiongnu were originally attached to the Han Dynasty, but now they took advantage of the war in Xiliang to raise troops and rebel, which shows their wolf ambitions, not my race, and their hearts will be different" Wang Yun said through gritted teeth.
Wang Yun is a native of Bingzhou, so he naturally knows the cruelty of the Huns, and if he goes to seek peace now, it is just a humiliation for himself.
"The imperial court is now short of soldiers and horses, how can it block 100,000 Hun cavalry, and if you don't seek peace, will you let the soldiers die in vain?"
Yuan Feng argued with reason, and now the focus of the debate is not who to send, but whether to fight or make peace.
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the lobby, but the main battle faction was obviously weaker, after all, the Xiongnu only attacked and merged with the state, and they could not pose a threat to some families in Luoyang.
Emperor Liu Hong was so angry that he couldn't help but knead his brain, and waved his right hand weakly, and the lobby suddenly fell silent. Every time there was a war, the whole hall was so noisy and shouting, he couldn't bear it anymore.
However, the general next to him hurriedly gave He Miao a look, He Miao understood what his brother meant, hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt in front of the generals and spoke.
"The last general is willing to share His Majesty's worries and take the troops and horses of his headquarters to Xiliang to assist General Zhengxi"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, isn't this talking about the merger of the state, why did he withdraw to Xiliang again, but then he figured it out, now he obviously can't be alone, there is still a chance to go to Xiliang, maybe he can make some merits, as for the matter of the merger, let the ministers continue to discuss.
Several ministers said that it was feasible, praised He Miao for a while, and waited for the emperor to give an order. Liu Hong looked at He Miao, who was kneeling in front, and also nodded and agreed, asking He Miao to take 5,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses from Xiyuan, and go to Xiliang on the same day.
He Miao went to Xiliang this time and took away most of Luoyang's army, and now there are only a few thousand defenders left in Luoyang, or two thousand imperial forest troops, as for some newly recruited soldiers in Xiyuan, they have not been on the battlefield, and they are useless.
This also shows Liu Hong's attitude in disguise, and it seems that he is ready to give up and merge with the state. Left to fend for itself.
