"General! I can't hold it down!! ”

"Two more counties have been breached!"

The scout hurried to the camp tent and told He Zeng, the general of Zhengbei.

He Zeng had a straight face, and his face was extremely ugly.

At this moment, he was wearing armor and sitting in front of the desk, with several generals standing beside him.

Sima Shi took him as the general of the expedition to the north and asked him to be the governor of Hebei, but at this moment, the situation in Hebei was a little out of control, and the newly appointed general of the expedition to the north was a little unable to suppress it.

"Where's Chen Ben?! What's he doing?! ”

He Zeng's eyes widened, his eyes full of anger, and he raised his head and asked.

Chen Ben is Chen Qian's elder brother, the general of Zhenbei, responsible for the defense of You, Hebei, and the three states, and is stationed in Jizhou.

And He Zeng was stationed in Jizhou.

The official position of the four expeditions is higher than that of the four towns, and the four expeditions are only under the three dukes and have the right to send troops.

To explain it in the simplest terms, that is, the generals of the four towns are only responsible for guarding the town, and they have no right to go out on their own, unless they get a military order from the temple to send troops.

And the generals of the Four Expeditions have the right to send troops independently in a certain sense, which is not comparable to the Four Towns.

Hearing He Zeng's questioning, some generals said timidly: "His army also mutinied, and some of them participated in the rebellion, saying that they were reorganizing the army and could not send troops."

"Troops! Let him send troops! If he dares to send troops again! I will go up to the temple to punish him. ”

He Zeng thrashed the case.

In fact, He Zeng's relationship with Sima Zhao was much closer than that of the other generals, and the rest of the generals were close to Sima Shi, and he was close to Sima Zhao.

He was born in the He clan of Chen County, erudite and studious, filial piety, and had a great reputation, and his father was the servant He Kui, who, like Biqiu Jian, served as Cao Ei's literary editor when he was young.

Emperor Wei Ming ascended the throne, and successively served as a member of the Wai Scattered Cavalry Lang, Diannong Zhonglang General, and Huangmen Lang, advocating that "the foundation of government lies in winning people", which was praised by the people of the time.

He is very courteous, filial piety, caring for friends, very gentlemanly, but, like Sima Zhao, this is only external, he is actually a villain who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, in history, he faced Jia Chong, who came from behind, actually took the initiative to bow his head, headed by him, and helped him deal with the direct ministers in the court.

Speaking of which, he is a qualified heir of a big clan, shameless, ambitious, and knows how to disguise.

can't stand Sima Zhao liking him, he always looks like a confidant minister, and even lets his son go to see him, which is all kinds of favors, so that even Sima Zhao's people feel that He Zeng is the closest to Sima's family in the four towns of the four expeditions.

But obviously, Sima Shi didn't think so.

He Zeng didn't know what was going on at all, but when he woke up, he heard that there was a rebellion in Jizhou, and He Zeng was quite happy at first.

He felt that this was a good time for him to make military merits, of course, He Zengming couldn't do anything to slaughter the people to pretend to be military merits, but if someone under his command did it, he wouldn't stop it too much.

However, things were a little different from what he thought, and this Hebei rebellion seemed to be a little different from the past.

There are too many contradictions in Hebei, and the contradictions have accumulated to a very serious point.

In just a few days, great turmoil broke out in various places, traitors broke out, the county government was broken, and many big clans in Hebei were slaughtered.

He still has a good relationship with the minister of the temple, and he is very good in private.

At this moment, the Hebei clan suffered such a massacre, and as the highest military governor in the local area, he must be held responsible.

Just when he sent troops to various places to suppress it, Chen Ben was unmoved.

Just very calmly blocking the road

Although He Zeng's official lord is high, he does not have many troops in his hands, because his garrison is Jizhou, and Chen Ben is also responsible for the defense of the Huren people, so he will have more troops in his hands.

In addition, these soldiers under He Zeng's command, well, the combat effectiveness is not very high, after all, there has been no war here for a long time.

The Yongliang Theater fights Jiang Wei every day, the Yuyang Theater fights Dongwu, and the Youhe Theater fights the Hu people, and the new general of Jizhou is a little embarrassed.

The best thing He Zeng could think of at this moment was to throw the blame on the head of the general of Zhenbei.

What's more, this matter is indeed a bit unusual, although there has always been a rebellion in Hebei, but it is the first time I have seen such a large-scale, He Zeng always feels that there seems to be something going on here.

He Zeng hurriedly wrote a table and sent it to Luoyang again.

In the above table, He Zeng severely reprimanded General Zhenbei for his ineffective management of the army, believing that today's affairs in Hebei are all because of Chen Ben.

At the same time, he went to the temple and asked for someone to come to help.

At the same time, Chen Ben, who was far away in Youzhou, was still sitting in his comfortable general's mansion, eating tea and chatting with his henchmen left and right.

Today's Chen Ben is still the head of the Chen family.

Their father Chen Jiao, whose original surname is Liu, changed his surname to Chen after his stepmother's family, and there is no high-ranking official in the family who has served as an official of two thousand stones, nor has he governed the classics and is famous.

They can't be regarded as the old clan, the old clan can be traced all the way up, for example, He Zeng, he can come forward and say: It is the son of the former servant after the general of the Emperor An of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Ben and his younger brother have different personalities.

Chen Qian is gloomy, doesn't like to make friends, and values himself more than his family, which is understandable, after all, there are not many people in the family.

And Chen Ben is pragmatic, simple, cautious, and very polite to others, the two brothers are a bit like Zhong Yu and Zhong Hui, and Chen Ben really served as a court lieutenant.

"General, General Zhengbei has given an order again, asking us to suppress it as soon as possible."

A strategist spoke.

Chen Ben said unhappily: "Didn't I send people to fight the thieves these days? ”

"How else do I need to send troops? Abandon all the fortresses, ignore the Hu thieves outside, and go all out to attack and kill the traitors in the counties? If the Hu people came in, how could he dare to repel it?! ”

The people were silent.

In Hebei, the person who received Sima Shi's order was not He Zeng, but Chen Ben.

Sima Shi sent dead soldiers to come to help, and Chen Ben also sent people to secretly promote these things, and those officials who were close to him had already left because of the "important meeting".

But what Chen Ben didn't expect was that the scale of the rebellion in Hebei was a little beyond his original expectations, and there were even several self-proclaimed generals and self-proclaimed kings, Chen Ben had already begun to attack, his army was different from He Zeng, and his combat effectiveness was still there.

Although there were some risks involved, Chen Ben thought it was worth it, because the dead soldiers brought not only orders, but also edicts of appointment.

The two families formed an alliance, and he was also able to change his town character to Zheng.

Because of the remoteness, Sima Shi asked Sima Zhao to block Luoyang, these places are too remote, and it is not known what happened in the temple at present.

Sima Shi just said that he was not in good health and could not suppress the clan, but he did not tell how critical the situation was.

There is a difference in information between the temple and the place.

When the ministers in the temple felt that Sima Shi was seriously ill, Sima Shi in the cognition of the local general was still alive and well.

Now Sima Shi is dead, but the local generals are still in the stage of serious illness of the generals.

Sima Shi is very good at taking advantage of this information gap, and even makes advanced judgments about many situations.

When Lu Yu had not yet made trouble in Shangshutai, Sima Shi probably knew his thoughts, and immediately decided to use the popular uprising in Hebei, coupled with the mines planted by Lu Yu, to detonate this hot situation.

The family is not a god, if you are hit by an arrow, you will also die, when the Yellow Turban Army swept the world, I don't know how many wealthy people were overwhelmed by the angry people.

If it's just ordinary people plus some dead soldiers, it definitely can't play a big destructive role, but with the generals stationed in various places, it's different, in front of the army, what kind of thing is your gate valve? If the combat effectiveness of your gate lord is really higher than that of the army, it will not be as passive as it was during the Eight Kings Rebellion, nor will it be so unbearable when the Hu army was rampant in the Central Plains

Luoyang.

"What did you say?!"

Lu Qin took the letter from the scout's hand, only to look through it a few times, only to feel dizzy and almost fall headlong.

Lu Qin looked at it again and again in disbelief, his eyes were red, and his heart was full of blood.

He took a deep breath, took the letter sent by He Zeng, and rushed towards the mansion, because he ran too fast, and even fell at the threshold, but he didn't care at all, and rushed towards the inner mansion with a roll.

"Father's !!"

Lu Chin's shouts interrupted Shang Shutai's meeting.

Lu Yu, who was in the limelight, raised his head and sat on the top seat, and the ministers sat on both sides.

Lu Yu vaguely had the posture of the head of the group at this moment, after obtaining the power of Shangshutai through intimidation, he easily filled the mines he had originally planted, all the materials have been prepared, the officials will be promoted, the soldiers will get the materials, and the people can also go to farming!

Lu Yu had done this in just a few days, and he was in a hurry to show off his abilities.

And the ministers all knew that these were prepared by him a long time ago, not improvised, although they knew, but the ministers still congratulated him against their will.

Lu Yu is indescribably happy at the moment, Sima Zhao has already gone to guard filial piety, Gao Rou is hiding in the mansion and does not come out, the queen mother trusts herself, and the ministers dare not disobey herself, and the next step is to justifiably make the generals from all over the country submit, and the policy that he will implement next can completely achieve this.

At this moment, he is discussing with everyone about reforming the Zhongzheng system.

Lu Chin burst into the mansion in disheveled clothes, interrupting their meeting.

"Father!!"

Lu Qin looked at Lu Yu and immediately burst into tears.
