Chapter 104: Leading the Army to Exterminate the Thieves
Chapter 104: Leading the troops to destroy the thieves
"I am willing to lead the troops to destroy the thieves. Please make a decision quickly, otherwise the capital will be in danger!" He Jin admonished again.
Yuan Wei bowed and said: "Your Majesty, under the ancestral system of our dynasty, whenever foreign enemies invade and internal thieves cause rebellion, a general will be appointed to lead the troops to attack the enemy and quell the rebellion."
Emperor Ling nodded and said: "Well, there is such an ancestral system, but I don't know who is worthy of this important task?"
Yuan Wei knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare to recommend my uncle!"
Wang Yun bowed and said: "Exactly! I, the Han Dynasty, have always had an unwritten law, that is, the general is always a relative of the country, such as Wei Qing in Emperor Wu's dynasty! Uncle He Guo is the eldest brother of the Queen, and is actually a confidant of the Holy Emperor. If the tiger talisman is handed over to the relatives of the country, the Holy One can rest easy!"
Ling Emperor Liu Hong pondered for a while and said: "He Jin stepped forward to listen to the seal."
He Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground: "I'm here."
"Confess He Jin as the general, lead the left and right Yu Lin troops to garrison in the capital pavilion, gather weapons, and guard the capital." Liu Hong said.
"I obey the decree." He Jin was overjoyed.
Zhang Rang's little eyes rolled, and he thought: "No, once the Yellow Turban Rebellion is put down, Butcher He will definitely have great power in his hands. If he has a chance to compete with us, no! I must find someone to share the credit of Butcher He now." and military power." Thinking of this, Zhang Rang admonished: "Your Majesty, although the rebels are powerful, they are just a mob and there is nothing to worry about. If you choose generals who are good at conquering and fighting, you can eliminate them."
It was not that Ling Emperor Liu Hong was unaware of the dictatorship of foreign relatives. There were many examples of this in the Han Dynasty. After hearing Zhang Rang's advice, he nodded and praised: "What Father Rang said is absolutely true." He also said to the ministers: "Masters, Is there a suitable candidate?"
Without saying anything, Zhang Wen bowed and said: "I have a man, Yilang Huangfusong, who is the son of a general. His great-grandfather and uncle Huangfugui both served as generals of the Liao Dynasty. They are loyal to our great Han Dynasty and are capable of all kinds of literary, Taoist and military strategies." , by making good use of soldiers."
Before he finished speaking, another person stood up, it happened to be Sikong Yuan Feng, and said: "I would also like to recommend someone. Zhu Jun once served as the governor of Jiaozhou, admonished the officials, and even quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhou. If the two of them join forces, the rebels will surely die. ."
Han Emperor Liu Hong nodded and said: "These two are suitable candidates. I wonder who else can be of great use?"
Yuan Wei was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, is a relative of the emperor and has unparalleled loyalty."
At this time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who had been silent, spoke up.
"Your Majesty, I have a servant who can be used by the Emperor," Zhang Rang said.
"Oh? Father, who can you choose? Please tell me quickly and I will listen." Ling Emperor Liu Hong asked.
Emperor Ling called Zhang Rang this way, which made Qingliu in the court look dim: "It seems that the status of Zhang Rang and others remains the same."
"My slaves recommend Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong." Zhang Rang said.
Emperor Ling nodded and said nothing. At this time, Taiwei Ma Rixi suddenly came out and knelt down: "Zhong Ying is indeed brave and brave. Now is the time to put down the turmoil. It is the time to use your strength. You must not use it. I have someone to choose. I wonder if the Emperor is willing to listen?"
"I love you, just say so," Liu Hong said.
Ma Rixi said: "Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian once studied under Mr. Ma Rong with Mr. Zheng Xuan, and wrote "Shangshu Zhangju" and other books. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs and is knowledgeable about the past and the present. He is the best candidate."
"ah……"
Wang Yun and others whispered, how could they forget this person?
When Zhang Rang heard Lu Zhi's name, his expression changed, he snorted and stopped talking.
Emperor Ling nodded repeatedly, "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about Ziqian... By the way, where is Lu Ziqian now? Why didn't you see him?"
Ma Rixi glanced at Zhang Rang and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? In the first year of Guanghe, Lu Ziqian once wrote "Chen Ba Shi". Later, he sent Ziqian to Dongguan to compile the "Han Ji"."
Emperor Ling really doesn’t remember this matter!
I vaguely remember the memorial "Chen Ba Shi", but I can't remember what the content is. In fact, it was not the Han Emperor who sent Lu Zhi to the east, but Zhang Rang and others. Emperor Ling gave Zhang Rang a step forward. .
Emperor Ling said: "In this case, I will order Lu Ziqian to serve as Beizhonglang General to quell the rebellion in You and Ji. Dong Zhongying, the governor of Hedong... Well, I will order him to return to Hedong immediately to mobilize troops and horses, supervise the war in Youzhou, and assist Lu Ziqian in quelling the rebellion." Huangfu Song is the left Zhonglang general, Zhu Jun is the right Zhonglang general, and the five schools (the five schools of the Northern Army, the main standing army of the central government, namely Tunqi, Yueqi, Infantry, Changshui, Shesheng) are assigned to the five schools. Guards) Sanhe (Hedong, Hanoi, Henan) cavalry, and recruited strong men at the same time, totaling more than 40,000 people. The two of them each led one, and jointly suppressed the Yingchuan Yellow Turban rebels."
Huangfu Song immediately called for a memorial in the court hall, imploring Emperor Ling to lift the ban on the party, activate party members, and give the palace money and good horses in the West Garden to the sergeants to improve their morale. Lu Qiang also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, ban the party. It has been going on for a long time, and the Yellow Turbans are rising again, which cannot be said in the same way. If they are forced to conspire with the Yellow Turbans, they will regret it and there is no way to save them!"
"Your Majesty!" He Jin stood up and said, "I think what the two of them said is right. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people. It should grant amnesty to party members and use capable people to serve the country."
Seeing He Jin saying this, all the ministers praised him one after another: "I second the proposal, I second the proposal, I second the proposal, I second the proposal..."
Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the public opinion, Emperor Ling had no choice but to agree to lift the ban on party members, so he granted amnesty to party members on Renzi Day.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty then ordered the states and counties to set up captains and deploy protective guards at the eight passes outside Luoyang - Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Fuyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin. He issued an edict to various places. To take strict precautions, order all states and counties to prepare for war, train soldiers, prepare weapons, and summon rebels to fight against thieves.
This led to the emergence of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zuo Aoran and other heroes...
The Yellow Turban Army entered the territory of Youzhou. Liu Yan, the prefect of Youzhou, quickly summoned Zou Jing, the captain of the school, for discussion. Zou Jing said: "There are many thieves and we are few. Ming Gong should quickly recruit troops and horses to meet the enemy." Liu Yan said, and then he Go out and recruit volunteers.
When the article went to Zhuoxian County, it led to a hero from Zhuoxian County. He was not very good at reading, had a gentle nature, was taciturn, and could not express his emotions or anger. He had great ambitions and specialized in making heroes of the world. He was born to be seven feet five in length. Cun, his ears hang down from his shoulders, his hands are above his knees, his eyes can look at his ears, his face is like a crown of jade, and his lips are as if they are greased. After Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, his surname was Liu Mingbei, and his courtesy name was Xuande. Xuande was an orphan. He was filial to his mother, but because his family was poor, he made a living by selling hemp shoes and weaving straw mats. That day he went to the city to see the announcement.
After Liu Bei read the list, he sighed with emotion. Suddenly he heard someone behind him shout loudly: "If a man doesn't contribute to the country, why are you sighing?"
Liu Bei looked back and saw that this man was eight feet tall, with a leopard head, round eyes, a beard that stood up like a steel wire, a voice like a bell, and a very powerful appearance. The man told Liu Bei that his surname was Zhang Mingfei, and his courtesy name was Yide. He was engaged in the business of selling wine and butchering pigs and sheep. He was willing to use his family property as capital to start a big business with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had a good conversation, so they went to a hotel at the entrance of the village to drink and talk together. At this time, a cart of big men came into the store to drink. Liu Bei took a closer look and saw that this man was nine feet tall and had a long beard on his chest.
He is more than two feet long, his face is like a red date, he has a pair of red phoenix eyes and two silkworm eyebrows, and his appearance is very majestic.
