Emperor Ling thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense!"
Emperor Ling knew that it was impossible to hold back these lands. Sooner or later, they would have to be returned to a wealthy family in Jizhou. At most, they would be allowed to pay more taxes and make some money.
And it is impossible for Fu Bian to stay in Jizhou forever. His prestige in Jizhou is so high that Emperor Ling cannot be worried at all. It is just because Fu Bian offended both the nobles and the eunuchs. How could such a lonely minister do anything? It's impossible to rebel, which is why Emperor Ling trusts him.
But even if he trusted Fu Bian, he did not intend to let Fu Bian continue to stay in Jizhou. Returning to Liangzhou was obviously a good arrangement for Fu Bian, which would not only allow Huangfu Song to have enough troops to exterminate the Xiliang rebellion, but also Fu Bian is also from Xiliang, so it will be safer to return to Xiliang.
As for Zhang Yan's situation, the Ling Emperor also found out clearly that Zhang Yan's current followers are less than 100,000, and there are only about 20,000 young men. Such strength is enough to annihilate 10,000 county soldiers. The Ling Emperor will not keep fighting for him. With hundreds of civil and military officials fighting against each other, he could only be sacrificed.
The next day, the court meeting!
Emperor Ling took advantage of the civil and military officials before they spoke and said immediately: "Stop arguing, listen to me first. Since you don't want Fu Bian to continue to lead Jizhou, then I will do as you wish and grant Fu Bian the title of Bei Zhuo." General Ni, he will lead 50,000 soldiers from Jizhou counties to support Huangfu Song in his crusade against the Xiliang bandits. As for Zhang Yan, I will leave it to you to deal with it personally. At the same time, the wealthy nobles in Jizhou will spend 5 billion as Xiliang bandits. The military expenses for the war will be used to make up for the taxes that were escaped before! I don’t care how you spend it, but I want to see these 5 billion dollars!"
Cui Lie immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, my family has been destroyed by the Yellow Turban bandits, how can I get this 5 billion money!"
Emperor Ling sneered and said, "If you can't come up with it, there is a way. If you don't have money, you still have land. If you sell 1 million acres of land, the money will appear! I think there will be people rushing to get the land in Jizhou, or sell it to Anping first." country’s land!”
Cui Lie could only say with a grimace: "Your Majesty, we will pay for this!"
A family of 5 billion should be able to put together a few tens of millions!
Others could only look at Cui Lie with sympathy. The wealthy nobles in Jizhou would continue to vomit blood!
Emperor Ling continued: "Since Fu Bian has gone to Liangzhou, Jizhou will have a new Jizhou governor. Zhang Yan will let the new Jizhou governor destroy him. Do you have any candidates to become the Jizhou governor?"
Grand Tutor Yuan Wei came out and said: "Doctor Wang Fen is a man who values wealth and justice, hates evil as much as enemies, and is very powerful. He can be the governor of Jizhou!"
Other civil and military officials also agreed with Wang Fen as the governor of Jizhou!
This was what they had discussed. Jizhou was too important to be occupied by a Xiliang barbarian like Fu Bian. Look at what he had done. He had simply tricked the Guandong clan to death.
This is not the first time that they have been tricked. These Xiliang barbarians seem to have a grudge against them and will trick them again every few years.
In the past, Zhang Huan listened to the eunuch's order and hacked the imperial student to death, so that General Dou Wu's mutiny to eradicate the eunuch's influence failed. Later, Duan Juan relied on the eunuch and became a party member with Wang Fu and others, who acted as an accomplice and was unjustly killed. Zheng Sa, Dong Teng and other loyal people close to the gentry. Now there is another Fu Bian exploiting the gentry.
The entire Kanto noble family's impression of the Xiliang warriors has become extremely bad! Now they really want to expel Xiliang from the Han nationality!
What Cui Lie said is good. We should have given up on poor places like Liangzhou a long time ago and created some troublesome barbarians.
Emperor Ling said: "Then make Wang Fen the governor of Jizhou and let him destroy Zhang Yan in Black Mountain!"
All civil and military officials said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Jizhou, Changshan State, Fangshan.
Fu Bian led his personal guards here to wait for Zhang Yan's arrival!
At this time, Fu Bian was extremely tired. He wanted to recruit Zhang Yan and completely solve the problem of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, but the obstacles were too great. Officials from the court to local officials did not agree to recruit Zhang Yan and others, but wanted to punish them. Kill them all!
But Fu Bian knew that even if he could kill the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou.
But can the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou be wiped out?
Can the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou be wiped out?
Can the Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou be wiped out?
Can the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou be wiped out?
Fu Bian knew that as long as there were refugees, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army of the Han Dynasty to kill them all. Fu Bian originally wanted to recruit Zhang Yan in Jizhou to help other places set an example to recruit the Yellow Turban Army in other places. But now he is full of The civil and military forces of the Chao Dynasty seemed to kill the Yellow Turban Army quickly, and the Yellow Turban Army in other places would definitely resist to the death.
He is now making a last-ditch effort. He can only take Zhang Yan and the others to Xiliang. They are out of reach and the noble families in Jizhou are helpless.
"Boohoo!"
"Sir, be careful!"
Three crossbow arrows silently shot at Fu Bian, but Fu Bian was knocked away by his own bodyguards and escaped, but his bodyguards were hit by the crossbow arrows.
"Song Zhou!" Fu Bian shouted! But the personal guard named Song Zhou still quickly lost his breath!
"Protect the lord!" the thief Cao Wenchou shouted.
Soon the guards surrounded Fu Bian and raised their shields to warn all directions!
"Who dares to ambush me?" Fu Bian shouted!
Wen Chou and others looked around nervously!
"Boohoo!" But what greeted them was a hail of arrows!
Wen Chou shouted: "There is danger! Zheng Qin, take the adults and retreat!"
Then Wen Chou led a team of men to rush towards the ambush!
Zheng Qin looked at the endless rain of arrows all around and pulled Fu Bian away!
"Kill" Wen Chou yelled and killed the people in ambush, but the number of people in ambush was too many and endless. Even though Wen Chou killed dozens of people, they still swarmed towards Wen Chou and the others like waves. Wen Chou's army quickly died in the battle. , and soon he was the only one left blocking the enemy from leaving.
Wen Chou was already scarred at this time. He looked at the assassins around him and said: "Who sent you, and why did you want to kill the lord?"
One of the leaders said fiercely: "We are Fu Bian and our enemies. Fu Bian ruined my family and everyone. He deserves to die!"
After saying that, he shot an arrow into Wen Chou's chest, and Wen Chou immediately fell to the ground!
The assassin leader said to the men around him: "Continue to catch up with Fu Bian, we must not let him escape!"
"No!" His men quickly chased in the direction where Fu Bian and the others were escaping!
In the other direction, Fu Bian's men continued to decrease, and soon there were only a dozen or so men left, who were surrounded. It was obvious that Fu Bian and the others were unable to escape.
Fu Bian looked at these assassins with a wry smile and was speechless. He didn't expect that he would die in this place. He was not afraid of death, otherwise he would not have offended the powerful nobles and eunuchs in the dynasty. He had not cared about life and death since the land was divided. , he just regretted that the recruitment failed after all.
