Lei Heng was stunned and directly objected... Could it be that he would not conquer Jingzhou?

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Xi Zhong realized that he was too anxious and quickly explained: "Lord, Zhong does not deny the three strategies of public career. On the contrary, Zhong admires the foresight and outstanding knowledge of public career. It is just that the times are trends, and no matter how good the strategies are, they should be adapted according to the times. Lord, everyone, imagine the difference between the court's hard-working request for us to send troops and Changning to write an voluntarily."

Lei Heng still didn't understand very much, but Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun suddenly realized it and exclaimed repeatedly: "Ambition and great talent!"

Xi Zhong said modestly: "Zhicai, Duke Wen is too famous. Zhong guesses to save people's hearts." Seeing that Lei Heng was still ignorant, he further explained: "Lord, if I, Changning, took the initiative to write a letter to ask for the expedition of Jingzhou, what would it be in the hearts of the court ministers? Even if I allow it, I will only drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and the two parties will be weakened. Most of the money, food, weapons, armor, and pensions for the expedition will still be responsible for me. The merits will be deliberately reduced. As for the court's hard-working begging us to send troops, hehe... let's not say that we can take the opportunity to ask for more supplies and ask to allocate counselors, powerful generals, and elite soldiers. If the rebellion is to be suppressed in the future, this will be a great contribution to the stability of the country."

After listening to Xi Zhong's explanation, Lei Heng also realized it instantly. After admiring, he also expressed his guess: "But start with Feng Zi?"

Xi Zhong laughed and said, "The lord is wise and is taking advantage of the power of Zhang Rang, Feng Xu and He Jin. He Jin has made great achievements in seizing rebellion and capturing the thief leader. He also has the ability to understand the feelings inside and the Yellow Turban Army is aggressive. This position of general will be granted to He Jin sooner or later. Once He Jin has great power, how can he let go of the internal officials who have deep hatreds. I believe that Zhang Rang, Feng Xu and others are also aware of these, and they will not be willing to sit and wait for death. At this time, if a clever and eloquent person goes to Luoyang and asks Zhang Rang to believe in his lord and believe in my Changning's strength, then the internal officials will ask us to send troops to divide He Jin's merits and support us to restrain He Jin." He joked, "In this way, the lord must think about the request earlier..."

Zheng Hun also smiled and added: "We should show Zhang Rang the strong to Zhang Rang and the weak to the court, and both sides should make profits. We should ask Zhang Rang to give real profits, and the court should also allocate baggage."

Lei Heng nodded and asked, "I don't know which gentleman is willing to go to Luoyang for me to cause this matter?"

Zheng Tai immediately stood up and asked, "Tai is willing to go to Luoyang."

Lei Heng also felt that Zheng Tai was the best candidate, so he said: "The public industry can take 5,000 gold to promote this matter. I ordered Dian Wei to lead the guard camp to escort it."

Zheng Tai stood up and refused: "Tai can bring the guards of the headquarters. General Dian Wei's entourage has a great responsibility and should not be moved lightly."

Lei Heng remembered that there were no bandits along the way, and there was no information about the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army nearby, so he nodded in agreement.

Zheng Tai urged Lei Heng again: "I hope the lord will confirm what he can seek from Zhang Rang and Feng Zi earlier to facilitate Tai's mediation."

Lei Heng asked Xi Zhicai, and Zheng Hun said, "I don't know what the two gentlemen think should be sought first?"

Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and replied: "A wise man, a general of a bear and a tiger."

Zheng Hun replied, "This 'President Chang Ning Prefecture' should be changed. You can choose the governor of Yizhou or General Yang Wu, General Ping Kou and even General Anxi."

Uh... the opinions of the two major strategists were very different for the first time, and Lei Heng was very surprised.

Xi Zhicai explained: "It is not a wise man to conquer Fuzhou County and fight in all directions. The generals of Xionghu are not allowed. I, Changning, have only three strategists and only six generals. How can I expand my territory?"

Zheng Hun also explained: "If the lord wants to be famous and achieve the power of the Qin Dynasty, he must plan these official positions. If he gains from those who fight for hegemony in the future, he will be subject to restraint everywhere."

Lei Heng had a headache, and both of them made sense. Whether they wanted talents or official positions, they were all prepared for the future battle for dominance of the world. They were also a must-do strategy. What they needed to make their own choices should be the order.

Lei Heng thought repeatedly that if he wanted talents from Zhang Rang, he would remember that during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, only Huang Zhong, Jingzhou, Yan Yan, Yizhou, and only Jusu, Jizhou, and Zhong Yao, who had already become officials, and the information he knew was only here. Other talents were either not born yet, young, or they had no idea where they were located.

If you want an official, you can't remember when Liu Yan suggested to Emperor Ling of Han to "destroy history and establish the pastor". The current governor of Yizhou does not seem to be as powerful as the governor of the Three Kingdoms period as he is familiar with. However, General Yangwu and other positions are already in the general sequence, and they are in charge of conquests. They can not only gain a larger population, summon more talents, but also attack the Yellow Turbans in the future and win the title of a division.

Lei Heng sorted out his thoughts and slowly stated his decision: "In this trip to the public, the official title should be the lowest to promote the military positions of General Wu and others, but the rest did not follow him. Later, he was transferred to Yan Yan, Yizhou (after the wedding, Yan Yan returned to Yan County), Jushu, Jizhou, Huang Zhong, and Sili Zhong Yao accompanied him to the expedition."

Xi Zhong quickly agreed, "Abide by the order!"

Xi Zhicai asked, "It is difficult to find only if you know his name, and how did the lord know about him?"

Lei Heng was speechless and had to explain awkwardly: "I heard of his name by chance that he was all wise and powerful generals, and they served in counties. For Zhang Rang and others, it is undoubtedly difficult to find it." Xi Zhicai stopped asking.

Zheng Hun continued to speak: "I dare to ask the lord, why didn't he seek the position of governor of Yizhou?"

Zheng Hun was really stubborn, and Lei Heng had to hint again: "If you are the governor of Yizhou, I will take it with all my strength." Zheng Hun frowned and thought for a moment before he could speak.

Seeing that the three of them had no objection, Lei Heng urged Zheng Tai to go to Luoyang as soon as possible, and secretly wrote to Lei Jiong to act according to the plan. He also ordered Zheng Hun and Xi Zhicai to prepare money, grain, soldiers, armor, Dian Wei, Han Hao, Lin Sheng and others to train soldiers and wait for information in Luoyang.

In March of the seventh year of Guanghe (184 AD), war broke out in the 28 counties of seven prefectures and 28 counties across the country. The Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable. The prefectures and counties were lost, and officials and soldiers fled. Emperor Ling of Han saw that Taiping Road was so powerful. On the third day of the Wushen period, He Jin was hurriedly appointed He Jin as the general and led the five camps of Yulin to station Yuduting to mount some weapons to guard the capital. He Jin's younger brother He Miao was appointed as the Yin of Henan to ping the rebellion in the Sili area; and also set up commanders to garrison the Kyoto Pass, including Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Zhuyuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other Kyoto Passes; issued an edict to prevent all regions and order all prefectures and counties to prepare for combat, train soldiers, assemble weapons, and summon the rebels.

Huangfu Song asked for the lifting of the party ban, and gave the imperial palace money and the Xiyuan good horses to the soldiers to improve morale. Emperor Ling of Han accepted the proposal, and on the day of the Renzi, he immigrated the party members and returned them to the migrant disciples, and asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and elected descendants of the generals and those with a deep strategy from the people to go to the Public Vehicle Bureau for interviews. On the other hand, he sent elite troops to suppress chaos in various places: Lu Zhi led the deputy general clans of the Northern Army to be responsible for the northern front and dealt with the main force of Zhang Jiao; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led one army to control the five schools, Sanhe knights and the newly recruited elite soldiers and warriors, a total of more than 40,000 elite soldiers and warriors in Yingchuan. Zhu Jun also submitted a letter to recruit Sun Jian from Xia Pi as the Sima of the Army, and brought more than a thousand elite soldiers and Zhu Jun's army recruited.

On the fifth day of the third month, Feng Xi finally persuaded Zheng Tai and joined forces with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun and other eunuchs to persuade Emperor Ling to agree: "Become Lei Heng as General Yangwu, and fight against the rebellion of Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou Governor's Department will assist him." In addition, he immediately issued an edict to Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yan Yan and Huang Zhong led the troops to the army to Xiangyang County, Nanjun before the first day of the fifth month.

Zheng Tai knew that the matter was urgent, so he rushed to the road day and night with the imperial edicts, official seals and other objects. He arrived at the door of the Changning Prefect's Mansion at noon on March 18th.

While helping Zheng Tai into the lobby, Sui Sheng sent his subordinates to inform Xi Zhong, Zheng Hun and other core officials, Han Hao, Lin Sheng and other important military generals to the prefect's office to discuss matters. Within a quarter of an hour, a group of people rushed to the conference hall one after another.

After a brief rest, Zheng Tai, who had barely recovered his energy, quickly introduced the situation to everyone:

"Lord... I am lucky to be accused of my order. The court appointed General Yang Wu, General Yang Wu, led his troops to quell the rebellion in Jingzhou, and urgently ordered Yan Yan Yan of Yizhou and Huang Zhong of Jingzhou... to lead his troops to the Nanjun Xiangyang County to meet the army within a limited time. The imperial edicts and official seals are all here..." Zheng Tai unfolded his personal bag, and the official seals and imperial edicts were clearly visible.

Zheng Taixie sighed and continued: "Emperor Ling named He Jin as the general, He Miao as the magistrate of Henan, lifted the party ban, ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for combat, train soldiers, tidy up weapons, and summoned the rebels... Distribute elite troops to suppress chaos in various places, Lu Zhi was responsible for the Northern Line, dealing with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huangfu Song attacked the rebellion of various counties in Yuzhou; and we were the chief of Changning to pacify the Yellow Turbans of Jingzhou. However, Emperor Ling did not issue an edict to Jizhou in the name of distant water not saving nearby fires, while Zhong Yao, the Sili, wrote a letter saying that he was seriously ill and could not go out to fight. Emperor Ling had already promised him to recuperate at home..."

It is reasonable that Jizhou is far away and Ju Su is not recruited. However, Sili Zhong Yao said that he was sick and was more likely to be unwilling to serve him. Lei Heng knew it well, but did not say it out loud, but instead said it loudly: "Thank you hard for public work, this is a great achievement. After the war, I will reward you on your merits."

Zheng Tai was very grateful and said with gratitude: "Thank you lord. Tai is not good at military strategy and is willing to stay in Changning to stabilize the rear for the lord."

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses, knowing advances and retreats, is indeed a good talent. Lei Heng agreed with satisfaction: "Okay, just work hard and stay in Changning for me." He also asked the intentions of the other two strategists softly: "What is the intention of Zhicai, what is Wengong's intention?"

Zheng Hun took the lead in answering: "Hun is also willing to stay in Changning and provide military supplies to the Lord and the people."

Seeing this, Xi Zhong smiled and said, "In this way, according to Duke Wen's plan, I will follow the lord to go to Jingxiang."

Lei Heng was also happy that his advisers agreed on the same opinion, so he directly assigned tasks.

"Zheng Tai, Zheng Hun, Han Hao, Sui Sheng..."

"Here!" The four of them stood up together.

"The main one is Zheng Tai, Zheng Hun assisted him, Han Hao was the general, Sui Sheng was the deputy, and stayed in Changning." Lei Heng handed over the seal of the prefect of Changning and the seal of the guardian captain of the Southern Barbarians to Zheng Tai and Han Hao respectively.

"No!" the four of them responded in unison.

"Xi Zhong, Dian Wei, Lin Sheng, Zhuang Xia..."

"Here!" The four of them also stood up.

"With Zhicai as military advisors, Dian Wei, Lin Sheng and Zhuang Xia as generals, five thousand soldiers were selected to follow me to Jingzhou."

"No!" The four of them yelled at the order.

Lei Heng looked at Yan Shu and others who were anxious and worried, and smiled and said, "Yan Shu had outstanding martial arts skills and went out to the battle with him, and followed the army; Xiao Di stayed in the prefect's mansion."

Yan Shu also imitated Xi Zhong and others, and stood up happily to accept the order: "No!" Everyone in the hall laughed when they saw this.

"Everyone, please go and prepare quickly, and you will go on the battle tomorrow!"
