Chapter 1287 Hua Xiong vs Zhou Tai! (Part 1)
However, due to the help of some people, Lin Mu's name also spread.
Killing General Zhang Bao, the God of the Earth, killing Bo Cai, the God of the Gods, and destroying the Taiyin True Spirit are all great achievements! !
"You really have a good disciple!" He Jin praised helplessly.
"It was Huangfu Yi who took care of him, otherwise how could he have achieved such a great achievement." Xun Shuang smiled lightly.
"Indeed! These achievements were basically made after he became the General of the Left Wing, and they were all achieved with the support of our Dragon Court. The greatest contributor is still our Emperor!" He Jin flattered Liu Hong invisibly.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, it was indeed like He Jin, Liu Hong put his own achievements first. Of course, this is a later story.
A new round of discussion began in the hall because of two pieces of information.
At the suggestion of Xun Yu, He Jin sent more troops and generals to Huanyuan Pass, and sent Wu Fu, the captain of the Yueqi, to garrison Huanyuan Pass to resist Zhang Mancheng.
While talking about Zhu Jun, He Jin was going to impeach Zhu Jun in the court tomorrow.
Huangfu Song had killed Bo Cai, cleared the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou, and started to go north to Jizhou. You can't even defend Changshe. Who else should I impeach?
However, at this time, a refined man stood up and bowed to He Jin respectfully, saying, "General, I am quite familiar with Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and others. Zhu Jun should not be the kind of person who easily loses, nor is he the kind of general who talks about war on paper. He let Zhang Mancheng enter Sili, which is a strategy. Let's take a look later."
This person is Wu Fu, the captain of Yueqi.
Xun Shuang and others looked at Wu Fu and smiled meaningfully. I don't know if it was Zhu Jun who sent the message to Wu Fu to persuade him or Huangfu Song.
Wu Fu is He Jin's confidant!
Sure enough, when Wu Fu said this, He Jin hesitated. Zhu Jun holds the Sword of Restoration, he is not an ordinary person, he has power, he will pass it on later, it is nothing to say it is a strategy, as long as Zhang Mancheng does not cause any shocking variables.
And if Zhu Jun is withdrawn from the south, who will take over? Huangfu Song is ready to rush to Jizhou.
In Jizhou, Lu Zhi was withdrawn, and Dong Zhuo can be tried.
"General, this is a secret letter from Zhu Jun to me." Wu Fu handed a parchment scroll to He Jin.
This parchment scroll was one of the three written by Huangfu Song.
He Jin quickly browsed it and then frowned. Although the handwriting was Zhu Jun's, he always felt weird.
"Forget it, anyway, you go south to Huanyuan Pass, and then you two can cooperate!" He Jin waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to have a headache.
"Yes! I will definitely bring back Zhang Mancheng's head!" Wu Fu was slightly happy. Huangfu Song's entrustment was fortunately completed.
It turned out that it was not Zhu Jun's secret letter, but Huangfu Song's imitation. As for Zhu Jun, they didn't know where he was at the moment.
Afterwards, everyone had a heated discussion about Lu Zhi. During this period, everyone kept cursing Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. They didn't dare to scold Liu Hong, but could only scold Zhang Rang.
Many generals and subordinates even regarded the removal of Lu Zhi as a conspiracy of the Yellow Turbans.
Such good news also directly shocked some people. Including Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty.
Still in that luxurious and licentious palace, Liu Hong lay with a comfortable face.
"Your Majesty, good news, good news!" Zhang Rang walked in respectfully, his face full of joy.
"Oh, what good news!" Liu Hong said with a face full of indifference. At this moment, he really didn't want to hear about the situation of the Yellow Turban Campaign.
Afterwards, Zhang Rang talked about Huangfu Song's achievements. However, he did not tell Zhu Jun's situation at the first time.
Logically speaking, Zhu Jun's intelligence was first, but they knew Liu Hong's character, reporting good news first and bad news later.
"Good! Huangfu Aiqing is indeed a veteran on the battlefield. He killed Bo Cai and cut off an arm of the Yellow Turban Army in the south. He deserves a reward!" Liu Hong was really overjoyed when he heard this, and he stood up.
"Your Majesty is able to kill Bo Cai, which shows that he has the ability to judge people. He is comparable to Prime Minister Xiao!"
Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard that the Yellow Turban Army in Jing and Yu states was almost wiped out. Zhang Rang and others also kept flattering him, even exaggerating it, not afraid of being struck by lightning.
"Whose descendant is that Fu Bo General Lin Mu in the good news?" Liu Hong asked faintly after being overjoyed.
"Uh..." Zhang Rang was slightly stunned. His Majesty had talked about Lin Mu before, but he forgot it again...
"Fu Bo General Lin Mu is not a descendant of a prominent family, but an extraordinary person. It is rumored that he is the first lord!" Zhang Rang said.
"Oh? It's him?" Liu Hong finally remembered when he heard this. A gleam of brilliance appeared in his lazy eyes.
"Yes! This man is also the disciple of Xun Shuang, the Prefect of the Imperial Guards, and the son-in-law of Cai Yong, the Yilang." Zhang Rang deliberately mentioned it.
Originally, Zhang Rang could have tampered with the military report, and could have deliberately downplayed Lin Mu and focused on Huangfu Song and others. However, in order to strike those nobles, he still praised Lin Mu. Because he knew that Lin Mu's attitude towards the nobles was not good!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
"Oh..." Liu Hong nodded and smiled meaningfully.
"Your Majesty, there is another military report here, but it is about Zhu Jun, the Lieutenant General. He put Zhang Mancheng in Sili and prepared to catch him in a jar."
"This is the secret letter he sent." Zhang Rang said in a serious voice, and then he handed over a sheepskin scroll.
Liu Hong took a casual look and didn't care. As long as the eight major passes were not broken, he would be able to rest easy.
"What's the situation in Apang Palace recently?" Liu Hong asked meaningfully, holding the sheepskin scroll as a cushion.
"The growth rate has accelerated, and it is already comparable to the two secret vault resources we lost." Zhang Rang reported roughly.
"Well! Keep paying attention. And the matter of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan, continue to plan secretly." Liu Hong instructed.
"Yes!"
"Okay, you go down!" Liu Hong turned around and continued his fun.
And Zhang Rang, who wanted to say something, was ignored by Liu Hong, so he could only shut up.
The matter of Lu Zhi, let's take it slowly.
...
The next day, the court meeting was held as scheduled.
It was still the same routine.
The gentry took the lead and presented impeachment letters that were not sure whether they were real, impeaching Zhang Rang and other eunuchs.
And Zhang Rang and others began to refute.
After that, the two sides parted unhappily under the auspices of Liu Hong. After that, they discussed the matter of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
Huangfu Song's reward was not issued immediately because he continued to fight in the north, but it was already recorded. As for Zhu Jun, for some reason, neither the nobles nor the eunuchs made trouble, and the fall of Changsha was just passed by so lightly.
Huangfu Song's three sheepskin scrolls are of great significance!
Perhaps it was the influence of Huangfu Song's killing of Bo Cai that Zhang Mancheng's entry into Sili did not cause any waves.
Wu Fu, the captain of the Yueqi, set off with the emperor's order and stationed at Huanyuan Pass.
Then, it was the matter of Lu Zhi.
Several groups of forces began to quarrel again. The court was more lively than the vegetable market.
However, in the end, it was unexpected that Liu Hong decided on the spot to send a war supervisor to monitor whether Lu Zhi had any dereliction of duty.
This decision made the eunuchs and others very happy.
However, the group headed by He Jin, Yuan Feng and others was shocked, because the so-called supervision was just a formality, and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty wanted to deal with Lu Zhi!
Although they strongly opposed it, they could not reverse Liu Hong's decision.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty still had some power.
Just like that, a little yellow soldier named Zuo Feng, like the wheel of history, ran out of the gate of the divine capital Luoyang and rushed to Jizhou.
Just as Zuo Feng rushed to monitor Lu Zhi, a fierce siege battle was taking place in Xiaquyang City, Jizhou.
"Charge! Charge! Charge! Those who climb the city wall will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan and promoted three levels!!" A heavenly general wearing a yellow turban roared.
Before him, there was a group of surging shield soldiers, staring at the arrows on the city wall and advancing.
On the city wall, a burly and powerful general with red pupils stood on the top of the wall, looking at the yellow turban army under the city with a calm face.
He was Zhou Tai, who picked up the opportunity to kill Zhang Bao.
"It's the fifth siege, and they haven't climbed the city wall once. This yellow turban army is too weak." A figure hidden under a bamboo hat commented in a low voice.
"Hehe... The elite of the Yellow Turban Army are basically trained by the big and small leaders. Those guys are either dead or captured, so there are fewer elites. The current foundation of the Yellow Turban Army is already very thin." Zhou Tai said faintly.
"On the tenth day, there will be a cruel war. You can retreat with the blessing boys." Zhou Tai said to the man wearing a bamboo hat.
It turned out that he was the master geomancer Xu Yuan.
"Well! You go out of the city tonight to attack this Yellow Turban Army, and we will retreat." Xu Yuan nodded.
"I feel that a brutal and violent aura is gradually moving southward. We have to avoid him!" Xu Yuan said with a hint of meaning.
"Well! Dong Zhuo is coming with a large army." Zhou Tai nodded.
"You resist this wave of impact first, I will go down to prepare first." Xu Yuan said, and no longer looked at the turbulent situation.
"Soldiers, keep killing!" Zhou Tai roared.
Then he swung his sword suddenly, and a huge blade light slashed across the sky, splitting the boulders and crossbow arrows thrown by the enemy.
With Zhou Tai in charge, the impregnable Xiaquyang City was like a nail deeply nailed into the heart of the Yellow Turban Army.
However, at this moment, a slight vibration sound came.
A sky-high heat wave swept in like a tsunami.
"Hey! Dong Zhuo is coming! So fast?!" As soon as Zhou Tai sensed it, he knew that Dong Zhuo's army was coming.
"Swish!" In an instant, a golden sword cut through the air, whistling and smashing directly into the Yellow Turban phalanx attacking the city.
"Boom!" The divine sword with a wild atmosphere directly smashed a huge pit, and the surrounding Yellow Turban Army was either dead or disabled.
A show of strength! I don't know what happened. Zhou Tai on the city wall saw this blow and felt that someone was showing strength!
Those who are kind don't come, and those who come are not kind!
Zhou Tai frowned slightly.
The early arrival of Dong Zhuo's army also disrupted his plan.
"Captain, take Xu Yuan and the troops that need to be evacuated, pack up quickly, and leave through the east gate." Zhou Tai instructed.
"Yes!"
