Cao Ang galloped back to Luoyang. When he arrived at the capital, it was already dark.

Emperor Ling's confidant Jian Shuo personally waited for Cao Ang at the upper east gate and led Cao Ang smoothly into the city.

Jian Shuo is the enemy of the Cao family, or the Cao family can be regarded as the enemy of Jian Shuo. When Cao Cao first served as the northern captain of Luoyang, in order to declare the prohibition and strictly enforce the law, he made more than ten five-color sticks and hung them around the yamen. Jian Shuo's relatives

Uncle Jian Tu broke the ban and walked at night. Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-color stick.

I think Cao Cao was also a loyal and upright minister back then. If it happened to be a prosperous period, his reputation would not be worse than that of Dong Xuan.

The two families had a feud, but when Jian Shuo saw Cao Ang, there was nothing strange about him. He was respectful and respectful. There was neither the arrogance of a eunuch nor the hostility of an enemy, which surprised Cao Ang.

Moreover, Cao Ang kept guessing that Emperor Ling asked Jian Shuo to greet him because he was in a hurry or had some ulterior motives.

Cao Ang and his entourage soon arrived at the North Palace. Outside the Dongming Gate, there were also people waiting here. Such treatment made Cao Ang a little surprised for a moment.

When they arrived at the city gate, Jian Shuo wanted to call the door, but Cao Ang suggested entering in a hanging basket to avoid making too much noise when opening the palace gate.

Under normal circumstances, once the palace door is locked, it is rarely opened at night. The main reason is that at night, internal and external interference is easy to cause trouble. Many palace incidents happened at night, so the dynasties of the past dynasties have learned their lessons and do not open the door easily.

palace gate.

But this time Cao Ang entered the palace late at night and was able to walk through the palace gate. If Jian Shuo hadn't deliberately harmed him, it meant that Emperor Ling had panicked.

Soon the palace door opened, and Cao Ang looked inside the dark palace door. Without saying anything, he followed Jian Shuo inside.

In the current situation, Jian Shuo really cheated him, and Cao Ang couldn't refuse.

Moreover, Cao Ang is more likely to think that the Ling Emperor is worried. After all, if Jian Shuo dares to open the palace gate without authorization, there is only one possibility, that is, the Ling Emperor dies. However, the Ling Emperor in history still has two years to live.

Cao Ang didn't think that his little wings "fluttered" the Ling Emperor to death.

Moreover, even if Jian Shuo wanted to trick him, he would attack He Jin first. Although Cao Ang was famous and powerful, he was still not a big shot in the political struggle.

Sure enough, Cao Ang's worries were unnecessary.

When Cao Ang arrived at the Deyang Hall, before he could salute, he saw the Emperor Ling who was above him looking very happy.

"Cao Qing is here!"

Cao Ang did not feel happy at all, but finished the ceremony meticulously.

When Cao Ang sat down, Emperor Ling said impatiently: "Did Cao Qing know that Geng Bi died and something happened again in Liangzhou?"

On the way back, Cao Ang kept thinking about Emperor Ling's intentions. The most likely possibility was that Emperor Ling wanted to go to Liangzhou again.

Of course Cao Ang didn't want to.

It has been four years since Zhongping, and only three years have passed since the world was in chaos. It is the time when the political struggle within the Han Dynasty is at its most acute. How can Cao Ang have that ability?

So Cao Ang said: "I have been in Xingyang and haven't heard anything about Liangzhou."

Emperor Ling also knew that Cao Ang might not even know what happened in Liangzhou, so he had to be patient and tell Cao Ang about the disaster in Liangzhou.

After Beigong Boyu and others were defeated and retreated to Jincheng, although they repelled the pursuit of the Han army, they were unable to suppress Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others due to heavy casualties.

As for the Qiang and Hu rebels, their interests are intertwined. When external expansion is restricted, the internal stability will naturally become unstable and chaos will arise.

Beigong Boyu hopes to reshape his status in the Qiang and Hu armies, while Bian Zhang and Han Sui do not want to be held hostage by the other party anymore. As for Song Yang and Song Jian, they have another attitude. They are not willing to fight with the Han Dynasty anymore.

He fights endlessly, but he prefers to play by himself behind closed doors.

In the constant stalemate, all parties barely maintained a balance. It was not until the winter of the third year of Zhongping that Bian Zhang died and the balance was broken.

Bian Zhang had the highest reputation among everyone, and with Han Sui as his ally, he was the strongest and could barely suppress everyone. But when Bian Zhang died, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Han Sui refused to give in, so they naturally started fighting.

Han Sui is known as the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River", which means that his scheming is like the Yellow River, twisting and turning in circles. Beigong Boyu is a reckless man, and Li Wenhou's strength is greatly damaged, and they can't fight Han Sui.

So Han Sui ambushed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and their henchmen in front of the mourning hall in Bianzhang, and completely controlled the Jincheng rebels except Song Yang and Song Jian.

When Song Yang and Song Jian heard the news, they left for Wuhan (which ruled the twin castles in the southeast of Linxia County, Gansu Province on the north bank of the Daxia River) and stopped playing with Han Sui.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Dahan, especially since Dahan was in the defensive stage during this period.

However, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, believed that the Qiang and Hu rebels had lost Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others one after another, and Han Sui had come to power through dishonorable means. The people's hearts and minds must be uneasy, and the military's morale was uneasy.

It was a good opportunity to defeat the thieves, so they tried to conquer Han Sui and completely quell the Qiang rebellion without the aid of large armies from other regions.

It has to be said that Geng Bi's ambition is not small. If he succeeds, he will be famous in history.

But this is obviously unreliable.

So Fu Xie, the governor of Hanyang County, remonstrated with Geng Bi: "The rule of the king has been weakened, and the number of people is unknown. Confucius said: 'If you don't teach people to fight, you are abandoning them.' Now, if you lead people who are not accustomed to it, the greater the Long.

If there is any obstruction, there will be ten dangers, and when the thieves hear that the army is coming, they must be united. There are many brave soldiers on the frontier, and it is difficult for them to take the lead. And the newly united people are not harmonious, and if there is an internal change, they will regret it.

If you don't stop your army and cultivate virtue, you will be rewarded and punished. If the thief is lenient, he will be called cowardly, and the group of evil people will fight for power, so he must leave. Then lead the people who have been taught to fight against the thief who has left, and his achievements can be waited for.

Also, now it is not a complete blessing, but a disaster that will definitely endanger you. I will steal it so that you will not take it."

What this means is that we wait for a while and then attack when we are stronger.

Of course Geng Bi would not allow it.

"Young Cao Ang can also defeat thieves. Am I not as good as a young one?"

After Cao Ang defeated the thief in the northwest, he left a legacy. After all, Cao Ang was too young. People who didn't know the inside story thought that Cao Ang was lucky and thought that he could have sex with me, so he was very courageous.

In the spring of the fourth year of Zhongping, Geng Bi gathered troops from the six counties of Liangzhou to conquer Han Sui.

But Geng Bi made another mistake, appointing Cheng Qiu to rule the country, which chilled the gentry and the people. Cheng Qiu was greedy and treacherous, and his exploits of the Liangzhou wealthy people had long made the Liangzhou wealthy people dissatisfied.

If you act in Liangzhou without the support of Liangzhou's wealthy families, you will basically bring about your own destruction.

In April of the fourth year of Zhongping, when the army arrived at Longxi County to govern Didao, Geng Bi's army mutinied, and both Cheng Qiu and Geng Bi were killed.

After Han Sui received the letter, he immediately led his troops to march eastward. Geng Bi's troops rebelled and joined the rebels under the leadership of Didaoren Kingdom. Not long after, Geng Bi's former army Sima Ma Teng also led his troops to surrender to the kingdom.

After some wrangling, Guo Guo, Han Sui and Ma Teng supported Guo Guo as their leader and called him "General Hezhong". The armies then surrounded Hanyang County to the east. Fu Xie, the governor of Hanyang County, died in the battle and Jicheng fell.

The rebels moved all the way east and once again entered Guanzhong and plundered it.
