Liu Hong returned to his residence, still angry.

After he pushed a large bundle of bamboo slips to the ground, he said: "This damn He Jin, as a general, can't worry about me, he only wants to support his troops and respect himself. This time, if it weren't for the Dangyin Fortress, The soldiers risked their lives and escaped. I don’t know how long it will take before the news of the Yellow Turban bandits’ troops entering Sili Prefecture reaches my ears.”

"I really want to abolish General He Jin's position today."

Zhang Rang stood beside Liu Hong, with a pair of narrow eyes constantly flashing a breathtaking light.

From a distance, Zhang Rang looked like a lurking poisonous snake.

"Your Majesty, He Jin has close relations with Yuan Wei, Yang Biao and others in the court. Although He Jin made a mistake this time, it was only a small mistake. Your Majesty wants to depose He Jin, but Yuan Wei and others will never agree. Now that the external aggression caused by the Yellow Turban bandits has not been resolved, it is really not appropriate for us to cause internal strife."

"What's more, He Jin is the queen's eldest brother, and the queen's mood must also be taken into consideration."

"Humph, there is no need to take into account the queen's mood. If she dares to be dissatisfied with me, I will banish her to the cold palace. However, Yuan Wei and others in the court are highly respected, but they are troublesome."

Zhang Rang nodded lightly, walked aside, and poured Liu Hong a glass of water.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to feel too bad. When Jian Shuo leads his troops tomorrow and defeats the three hundred Yellow Turban bandits, Your Majesty will be able to feel proud in front of He Jin, Yuan Wei and others."

When Jian Shuo was mentioned, Liu Hong finally felt better.

In Liu Hong's view, Jian Shuo, a military captain, was not only capable, but also loyal to him.

All in all, among the generals in the Manchu Dynasty, only Jian Shuo could gain Liu Hong's unreserved trust.

"Part of the Xiyuan New Army's soldiers and horses were taken away by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Now there are only about a thousand soldiers and horses left in the camp. I don't know if these one thousand soldiers and horses can successfully surround and suppress the three hundred Yellow Turban bandits."

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this."

Zhang Rang walked behind Liu Hong, stretched out his hand to help Liu Hong massage his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Jian Shuo is highly skilled in martial arts, and his attainments in military strategy are actually no worse than Huangfu Song's. What he lacks is opportunity and a stage. This time, Jian Shuo can just take this opportunity to show everyone in the world that it was a wise move for Your Majesty to reuse Jian Shuo."

"In addition, the reason why the three hundred yellow turban bandits were able to kill from Jizhou to Sili Prefecture must be because the three hundred yellow turban bandits were powerful. There is another possibility that some people intend to use the bandits to support themselves."

"Using banditry to show self-respect?"

Liu Hong suddenly raised his eyebrows.

There is no doubt that Zhang Rang's words touched Liu Hong's nerves again and made Liu Hong think of some not-so-good things.

Seeing Liu Hong's expression, Zhang Rang gradually became gloomy. He rolled his eyes and quickly took a step forward and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, no matter what other people do, we eunuchs will always stand by In front of His Majesty, we are willing to use our bodies to help His Majesty block all overt and covert arrows."

"Although we are not perfect, we are still willing to die for Your Majesty and for the great Han Dynasty."

Zhang Rang's words immediately moved Liu Hong.

Liu Hong couldn't help but stood up, stretched out his hands and put them on Zhang Rang's shoulders.

"Big Han, if everyone can be as loyal to me as my father. I believe that I can also become the Great Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and let the Han Dynasty complete the renaissance in my hands."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly said to Zhang Rang: "Father, please go make arrangements. I want to leave Luoyang and go to the White Horse Temple."

"Your Majesty, are you going to White Horse Temple?"

Liu Hong's words were a bit beyond Zhang Rang's expectations.

Although White Horse Temple is located on the outskirts of Luoyang City, at this time, it is somewhat dangerous outside Luoyang City.

"Yes, I want to go to the White Horse Temple. I want to pray for the big man. At the same time, I also want to leave the prison of Luoyang, go out to relax, and live in the White Horse Temple for a while."

After listening to Liu Hong's words, Zhang Rang said with some embarrassment: "But those three hundred yellow turban bandits are not far from Luoyang now. What if..."

"No case!"

Liu Hong waved his hand directly to Zhang Rang.

"I believe that Jian Shuo, led by a thousand new Xiyuan troops, can easily defeat the three hundred Yellow Turban bandits."

Liu Hong had already made up his mind, and Zhang Rang could not change Liu Hong's decision.

Fortunately, White Horse Temple is not too far from Luoyang.

If Liu Hong is really in danger, the defenders in Luoyang City can also participate in the rescue.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang obediently stepped aside.

While Liu Hong made the decision to send Jian Shuo to fight the Tiandao army, Xia Houyuan led a group of defeated troops and finally fled back to the outside of Xiaquyang City in embarrassment.

At this time, Huangfusong was preparing to launch the final attack on Xiaquyang City.

"What? My general Wen Chou was killed by the Yellow Turban bandits?"

Xia Houyuan knelt on the ground, and as soon as he recounted what happened not long ago, Yuan Shao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Huangfu Song and others also frowned.

Everyone was in disbelief at first, and then understood the seriousness of this matter.

"Yes, General Wen Chou and I led our troops to catch up with the three hundred yellow turban bandits. General Wen Chou was eager to achieve success and took the initiative to find the opponent's general. After a round of fighting between the two sides, General Wen Chou was knocked off his horse. Before General Wen Chou could stand up from the ground, After getting up, the bandits followed and rode past, trampling General Wen Chou to death on the ground."

"One thousand cavalrymen of our army were killed to pieces by three hundred yellow turban bandits, but the three hundred yellow turban bandits did not suffer any damage."

"By the way, these three hundred yellow turban bandits are all wearing armor and equipped with crossbows. Their riding skills are more superb than our cavalry."

"What nonsense!"

As soon as Xia Houyuan finished speaking, Yuan Shao said loudly from the side: "First, Wen Chou's strength is unparalleled in the world. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, absolutely no one can defeat him with one move. Second, our army has a thousand elite cavalry and sacrificed hundreds of people. , it is impossible to return without success.”

Not only Yuan Shao didn't believe Xia Houyuan, but even Huangfu Song was skeptical of what Xia Houyuan said.

However, unlike Yuan Shao, Huangfu Song's mood did not seem to be too volatile.

He waved his hand towards Yuan Shao who still wanted to speak. When Yuan Shao took a step back, Huangfu Song said softly: "The three hundred yellow turban bandits are very harmful, and we must find a way to completely deal with them. I don't know who is willing to lead the troops. Go encircle and suppress them again.”

After Huangfu Song finished speaking, Liu Bei, who was sitting in the corner of the tent, stood up and said loudly: "General, we missed the opportunity because we got lost before. Please give us another chance this time."
