Chapter 29: There are no two days in the sky

"Haha~" At the court meeting, when Liu Hong learned about Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion and proclaimed himself emperor, he suddenly burst into laughter.

The ministers in the court looked at Liu Hong with concern, "The emperor wouldn't be mad by these continuous blows, right?"

"Pa~" Liu Hong, who was laughing wildly, suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said sternly: "Okay, very good, a mere county tyrant dares to raise the flag to be emperor!?"

I don’t know if the Zhongping Ring title is a bit in conflict with the Han Dynasty. Since the Zhongping Ring title was changed, the world seems to have never been peaceful. I don’t know if the Zhang surnamed Zhang has been infected and has rebelled in waves.

First, there were the three brothers of the Taiping Sect, the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The influence still exists now. Now Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun appear again. Although the momentum is not as great as the Taiping Sect, the nature is even more serious, because Zhang Ju claims to be the emperor, it is no wonder that Liu Hong is so out of control and angry.

Even though the Taiping Sect was in great momentum and had once swept the world, Zhang Jiao, as the leader of the thief, only dared to proclaim himself as the general of the God of Heaven. However, Zhang Ju didn't know how to live or die and actually called himself the emperor. Moreover, this matter involved foreigners, and the nature was completely different.

Before, Zhang Jiao's rebellion was still the matter within the Han family. But now, Zhang Ju's call for Wuhuan has risen to the height of a country. Regardless of whether the people of Youzhou recognize the orthodox nature of Zhang Ju, this act of claiming to be the emperor is already provoking the authority of Liu Hong, the emperor's authority.

There is no day or day, and there is no two masters in the country. It is fine if there is a rebellion in his own territory, but there is no wonder that someone is proclaiming himself emperor without knowing how to die. It is no wonder that Liu Hong is so angry.

"Your Majesty calms down. Although this matter is annoying, Zhang Ju is just a rich man in Yuyang. He doesn't know the depth. He only needs to send a general and thousands of soldiers to suppress him." Yuan Wei went out and bowed and said, "Now the Central Army General Yuan Shao is still in Jizhou, so he can lead his army north to suppress the rebellion."

Ye Zhao glanced at Yuan Wei. It was obvious that the old guy saw that Liu Hong had been recalling the imperial army recently, and he was more concerned about Central Plains surveillance and deterrence, and wanted to keep Yuan Shao's army in the north.

"The Grand Tutor is such a bad word." Ye Zhao stepped forward, bowed to Liu Hong first, and then looked at Yuan Wei and said, "The Grand Tutor also said that it was just a powerful county. If the imperial army was sent to strangle it, wouldn't it be telling the world that Your Majesty recognized Zhang Ju's status and wanted to fight with him? What qualifications are the only one Zhang Ju? "

"Oh?" Yuan Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zhao, and smiled, "I wonder what Wei Wei has to do with his superiority?"

"The Grand Tutor is not very good at speaking. He is just a subordinate who has served in Youzhou. Even the people in Youzhou are strong. Zhang Qi was unexpected and colluded with Wuhuan, and he may be able to show his courage for a while. However, Youzhou is full of heroes, and only one general is needed to select a general, which is enough to strangle Zhang Qi. This matter involves Wuhuan. In recent years, the Xianbei has been weak, and Wuhuan has a rising power and strong power, especially in the Wuhuan Mountain area in Liaodong. Even if this is not the case, I think I should find an opportunity to give Wuhuan some colors so that these herdsmen can know that our Han Dynasty should not be humiliated easily. Therefore, I suggest choosing a strong general to shock Wuhuan."

"Wei Wei served as the lieutenant of the Wuhuan in Youzhou, and knew deeply about the things outside the border. Moreover, Wei Wei was a famous general of our Han Dynasty. When we were guarding the frontier, the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses. We even defeated the many and killed the Xianbei Shanyu. According to the old ministers, if Wei Wei was willing to go to Youzhou in person, he would be able to suppress the rebellion." Yuan Wei looked at Ye Zhao and smiled and complimented.

"The Taifu didn't know that the Central Plains outside the Frontier was different, with many tribes attacking and killing, and their powers changed. The reason why Zhao was able to do everything when he was appointed as the captain of the Wuhuan Hu was because he collected a large amount of intelligence in advance to support it, so he had such a record. Now Zhao has not been in the frontier for a long time and knows nothing about the situation outside the Frontier. Even if he barely took office, it would take some time to collect intelligence and be familiar with the troops. However, Zhang Ju's affairs are related to the dignity of our court, and it is urgent!"

As he said that, Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Liu Hong, bowed and said, "So, I think that in this battle, I should choose someone who knows the situation of Youzhou with the border, and I will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

At this time, Ye Zhao wanted to obtain the right to release the governor of the state, but at this moment, the governor of Youzhou was already served by Liu Yu. Ye Zhao had at most and could only be a prefect and at most a military position. It is not difficult to deal with Zhang Ju, but it is not easy to deal with Wuhuan. Not only should you fight, but you also need to be appeased, which will take a long time. Besides, Youzhou is not an ideal place to settle down. The land is vast and sparsely populated. It is also difficult to prevent all ethnic groups from invading the border in the frontier for peace of mind. And most importantly, if he really settled in Youzhou, he would not only face how to make the Youzhou family bow down, but also the inevitable conflicts with Liu Yu in the future. Liu Yu's official reputation is good and he is quite famous among the scholars. No matter how he dealt with it, he would be given a handle and be beaten by a crowd.

Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and frowned and asked, "You have reported on Youzhou in the past, can you tell me what heroes are there in Youzhou?"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "The land of Yanzhao has been a place where many heroes have emerged since ancient times. However, I was humble and said lightly. My area was also in the Jundu Mountain area. I have been fighting with all ethnic groups outside the border for many years. I don't know much about Youzhou."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi walked out of the train and bowed to Liu Hong and said, "Wei Wei said it well. However, I think that although fighting is necessary, it must be pacified at the same time. Zhang Ju offended the majesty of the court and must be killed. However, the Wuhuan clan lingers outside the border. Although he needs to teach a lesson, it cannot be eradicated. After the fight, he still needs to be appeased. I suggest that this matter be left to Liu Youzhou to deal with it."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Hong nodded and said, "Uncle the Emperor is generous and kind by nature. If he comforts him, it is most suitable. However, the Emperor is not proficient in military affairs."

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "I have a disciple who is a member of the Liaodong Lingzhi. He is brave and well-versed in military tactics, and is quite wise."

"Oh?" Liu Hong looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Mr. Lu is a famous general of my great Han Dynasty, and his disciples are obviously extraordinary."

"This person is named Gongsun Zan. He was born into a prominent family in western Liaoning. He was quite loyal to the court and had a name for himself. He followed the prefect Liu Ji in his early years. Later, Liu Jin was convicted and exiled to Rinan. His former staff members all left, but only Bo Gui followed him."

"In this way, he is indeed a loyal and righteous person, but this person has the ability to command troops?" Liu Hong said with some uncertainty.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I heard that Gongsun Bogui was a man who was in Youzhou. He was upright and jealous of evil and defeated the Xianbei people more often." Ye Zhao smiled.

"Ye Qing is a good general of the world. Since Ye Qing also likes this person, he must have amazing ability. Since this is the case, he ordered Gongsun Zan to be the captain of the surrendered captain and governor to suppress the rebellion. On the day of order, he could gather the states and counties to bravely defeat the enemy." Liu Hong immediately issued an edict.

Regarding Ye Zhao's evaluation in this regard, it is not only Liu Hong. Even if all the civil and military officials in the court cannot stand Ye Zhao, they cannot refute Ye Zhao in this regard.

"Things about Xiliang~" After deciding to deal with Zhang Ju, Liu Hong's voice suddenly became a little cold, and his eyes swept across everyone present: "In order to motivate Zhang Wen to defeat the enemy, I responded to the request of the ministers and promoted him to the Grand Marshal. However, I did not see how motivated Zhang Wen was to lose the city and land. He should not do this Grand Marshal's position."

"Your Majesty!" Chen Dan stepped forward and bowed and said, "Although the Taiwei failed in the battle, the previous rebellion of the Three Auxiliary Yellow Turbans forced the court to send troops to suppress it, resulting in the Taiwei's lack of troops, which led to the defeat. If the Taiwei was removed from his post, it would be a pity for the soldiers of the three armies!"

"The soldiers of the three armies were heartbroken?" Liu Hong sneered and threw a war report down the stairs, and said coldly: "This is a secret report by Dong Zhuo. During his tenure, the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen had secretly accepted bribes several times and refused to move forward, which caused the opportunity to fight and caused our army to be defeated. I think if we don't withdraw him, the soldiers of the three armies would be heartbroken!"

"This..." Chen Dan picked up the bamboo paper on the ground and looked carefully. His face turned pale. What Dong Zhuo said was not slander, but tangible evidence. He wanted to argue for Zhang Wen. However, in the face of the secret report that Liu Hong threw down, he could not find any refutation for a while. He was also quite dissatisfied with Zhang Wen. Why did the grand lieutenant collude with the Kai Qiang people instead?

"Removing the position of Taiwei Zhang Wen, escorting him back to Luoyang, and expedition the Western army, replaced by Huangfu Song, gathering Zhang Wen's troops, and fighting against Han Sui and Bian Zhang, and pacifying the rebellion of Xiliang for me as soon as possible!" Liu Hong shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Here!" The ministers quickly bowed and agreed.

Liu Hong ignored the ministers and left directly.

Chen Dan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up and looked at the direction where Liu Hong left, and sighed helplessly. This time, Zhang Wen would be forced to be punished when he returned to Luoyang.

But Dong Zhuo was remembered in this heart.

"Xu Ming, thank you just now." After retreating from the court, Lu Zhi and Ye Zhao walked side by side outside the palace. On the way, Lu Zhi smiled at Ye Zhao.

"What does Master Lu say? I have heard of Brother Bo Gui's name when he was in Youzhou. He is also a good general of the world, and he has many of them." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Xu Ming doesn't have to talk to him. Although Bo Gui is brave and strategic, he is a little worse than Xiu Ming." Lu Zhi shook his head and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Have Xiu Ming ever seen Bo Ji since he returned to Luoyang?"

Ye Zhao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's not that Zhao didn't want to. He just visited several times and was blocked by his mentor. Zhao really didn't know where to offend his mentor."

"Xu Ming really doesn't know?" Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

Ye Zhao was stunned when he heard this, his thoughts flashed with anger, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Zhao really doesn't know."

"Xu Ming must have heard of the Wei family." Lu Zhi didn't say anything more, but said instead: "The death of Wei Zhongdao had nothing to do with the Cai family, but because of this, Zhao Ji gained the reputation of being a husband. Over the past three years, Xiu Ming has been promoted step by step and gained the trust of His Majesty. However, do you know that no one dared to marry Zhao Ji so far?"

"..." Ye Zhao frowned when he heard this, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
