Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 134 Liu Yan Limu
Liu Hong stood outside the West Garden Hall, overlooking the northwest from the railing. At the end of the wide field of vision, on the other side of the sky, hundreds of thousands of troops were confronting each other.

He was frowning, and his heart was gloomy and restless. Even if the yellow scarf was in full swing and formed a prairie fire, even if Ma Yuanyi suddenly appeared in Shanyang, Hanoi, and Luoyang's couch, he didn't feel this way.

For the Yellow Turbans, it was frightening, and for the foreigners who came from all over the world, it was deep fear, fear of national subjugation.

Seventeen years into his reign, he thought he still had some tricks, and it was definitely not the previous emperors who were manipulated by relatives or eunuchs.

However, this time the foreign group rebelled, and the imperial court and the central army poured out all their strength. If this battle is lost, there will be a catastrophe!

"Your Majesty, Luo Yang is here to report." Zhao Zhong whispered behind him.

"What's the matter?" Liu Hong asked casually.

Zhao Zhong unfolded the letter and quickly browsed through it. After the Zhang Rang incident, Zhao Zhong became more cautious. Normally, he would read this kind of letter and tell Liu Hong directly.

When he saw the key information, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but tighten his hands.

"Your Majesty, Bingzhou Wumeng is engaged in Zhang Yang's army report. Xing Ji, the prefect of Xihe, is defending Yuanyang, and has fallen to his death. Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, led his troops to support him. He was surrounded by various tribes of the Southern Huns. Zhang Yi died in battle. Zhang Yang led the remaining troops to fight with him. Ding Yuan joined forces and is marching towards the east of the river, Zhang Yang invited Ding Yuan to be Zhang Yi's arm and could take over the post of governor."

"What do you think?" Liu Hong asked suddenly, which made Zhao Zhong feel a little uncomfortable.

Whether it is Han Sui Bianzhang, Li Wenhou Beigong Boyu, or even Fuluo Han and Xubu Guduhou, they all call the rebellion against the Han court fresh and refined as the side of the eunuch Qingjun.

In addition, Zhang Rang was harassed by Wang Yun, and several servants in the palace kept their tails between their tails for a while, and they dared to discuss government affairs there. After all, they knew what they did well, and the officials of the gentry wanted to impeach them. I am afraid that the written melodies will fill the front of the hall.

"Your Majesty, Ding Yuan was born in a poor family and has no noble background. This man is quite courageous and can be used."

"Then make him the governor of Bingzhou." Liu Hong suddenly turned around, stared at Zhao Zhong for a long time, and asked, "Is there any news from Yanmen?"

Zhao Zhong shook his head.

"Send someone to investigate quickly!" Liu Hong said, then turned around, looked northwest, and sighed with emotion, "Why do I feel that I don't have any generals in my hand in a country with a huge man? Flat yellow scarves, tens of thousands of troops, why not One person, Ping Qiang Hu, gathered [-] troops, could not advance an inch, the Xianbei Xiongnu went south, the prefect was assassinated, all were attacked and killed..."

Zhao Zhong didn't know what Liu Hong wanted to express for a while, and felt that the officials and generals were incompetent?Do you feel that Liu Qing is amazing?Not knowing what to say, Zhao Zhong chose to shut up.

"In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he took the initiative to fight, and now the foreigners are advancing together, do you think he will take the initiative to fight?"

Zhao Zhong's eyelids twitched. It turned out that His Majesty was thinking about Liu Qing's power. After all, when the Yellow Turban was flattened, the court was often shocked by his news, but this person couldn't be used by him. .

Liu Qing killed Zhang Jiao, and Liu Hong was forced to make him the prefect of Yanmen, and he couldn't wait to transfer the two battalions of foreign troops from Yanmen to the Chang'an battlefield.

"Your Majesty, I think he will!" Zhao Zhong said the conclusion directly, making Liu Hong look back again.

Zhao Zhong went on to explain: "Outside of the imperial court, when people interact with each other, the first thing is to look at the door, followed by the reputation, and then the talent and learning are capable. Then Liu Qing can start a business from the humble beginnings. It is because of the name of Pinghuangjin, if he wants to go further, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to make achievements and become famous. Yanmen is located on the border of Bingzhou, and has been invaded by Xianbei, so Liu Qing will be active or passive. Get involved."

"Then tell me, can he still perform meritorious deeds this time?" Liu Hong asked.

"Your Majesty wants him to make meritorious deeds, or not?"

Liu Hong thought for a while, and said, "I want to make him solve the problem, but I don't want to make meritorious deeds!"

Zhao Zhong was startled, His Majesty is still very honest, but he doesn't know how to answer this question.

"Your Majesty, I believe that matters should be prioritized. If foreign troubles are not eliminated, there will never be peace." Zhao Zhong still chose to put aside Liu Qing's grudges first, and resolve the foreign troubles first. Liu Qing can do nothing to them for the time being, but those rebels are coming to Qingjun Yes, they are here for their ten permanent servants.

"Changshi Zhao, I ordered all counties and counties to raise volunteer soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turbans, but I am the only one who has no military power in my hands. How is that reasonable?"

Zhao Zhong was overjoyed when he heard that, and Liu Hong finally got the hang of it.

Hastily said: "Your Majesty's words are timely, now all the military power of the imperial court is in the hands of the general, and it is taboo to add military power to one person!"

Liu Hongsi thought about it, slammed on the railing, and said in a strong voice: "I have decided to recruit strong men around Luoyang, form a new army in the West Garden, and set up eight captains. I will be the supreme general!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Zhong quickly flattered him.

"I know that the little Huangmen Jian Shuo has a lot of martial arts skills, so I first made him a captain of the army, and he will lead all the troops!"

Zhao Zhong is overjoyed, if this is the case, the party of eunuchs who have been suppressed since the Yellow Turban finally ushered in the spring again, and if Jian Shuo is the captain of the military school, then he has a real weapon in his hands!
"Your Majesty, Tai Chang Liu Yan begs to see you."

"Jun Lang? Call him over, Zhao Zhong, and you will bring this news to Jian Shuo and make him prepare."

"Here!" Zhao Zhong suppressed his joy and left secretly.

He didn't understand, Liu Hong was trying to drive him away, Liu Yan was not a good person, he had always advocated the clan's participation in politics, and wanted to be the third pole besides eunuchs and relatives.

It's a pity that Liu Hong refused to agree, and most of the treatment of the clan was sent out as officials.

Liu Yan and Zhao Zhong passed by to meet each other, and they both looked at each other with a bad face.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Liu Yan saluted.

"This is not a palace, and my family doesn't need to be polite!" Liu Hong turned around and smiled at Liu Yan, "The position of Taichang is respected and the affairs are heavy. Can you still get used to it?"

"Your Majesty is so gracious, I'm sure I'm going to do my best!" Liu Yan said.

"What are you here for?"

"Your Majesty, the minister returned from Chang'an. Zhang Sikong confronted the rebels with Meiyang. He was only a hundred miles away from the imperial mausoleum. On the way home, he heard the death of the prefect Xing Ji and the governor Zhang Yi. His heart was really disturbed. I have a word. Your Majesty, please listen carefully!"

Liu Hong frowned slightly, could it be that he had just formed a new army, so Liu Yan also wanted to recruit troops for the clan?

"But it doesn't matter!"

Liu Yan groaned and knelt down, "Your Majesty knows that what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, if I offend Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

When Liu Yan came out like this, Liu Hong couldn't understand it.

"Speaking of which, since Jun Lang is running for the community, how can I blame you!" Liu Hong said.

Liu Yan didn't get up, but straightened his chest, "Your Majesty, on this trip to Chang'an, the counties and counties I passed, the people's lives were in decline, and the people were displaced. Your Majesty sells officials. Follow the example, the money your Majesty gets is all obtained by exploiting the people, if your Majesty gets one, they will exploit the other, and eventually the people will renounce, the same is true for the three auxiliary lands, let alone other states?"

Liu Hong's face darkened immediately, but he didn't attack, and listened quietly.

Liu Yan went on to say: "Because of this, once the Yellow Turban rebelled, it became a prairie fire. Xiliang rebelled and drove straight in. Xianbei and the Huns went south, and the prefect and governor were unable to resist. The soldiers and civilians were killed, and the country was lost. Your Majesty, the survival of the great man is in danger. Autumn too!"

"What suggestion does Jun Lang have, you can speak it out!" Liu Hong said lightly, he still knew a little about Liu Yan's temper, and the longer the foreshadowing, the greater the appeal.

"Your Majesty, please appoint a virtuous and honest official as the governor of the state and county. The world of the Han Dynasty is the world of the Liu family, and it is the world of your Majesty. The gentry has already occupied the local area, and the position of the governor has little power. With no military power, low efficiency, and many acts of corruption and bribery, how can you rule the country for His Majesty?"

This remark actually spoke to Liu Hong's heart. The reason why he sold his official position was that it was difficult to collect money and taxes, and what Liu Yan said was very reasonable. He often lost wars with foreign tribes, and the counties did their own thing, which was one of the main reasons.

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Liu Yan hit the ground with a single word.

"Your Majesty, please change the governor to the governor of the state, and send clan relatives or people with high morals to unify the administration, finance and military power, so as to deal with the current situation of internal and external troubles!"
