Liu Zhang was a little surprised by Xu Huang's answer, but he can generally guess the reason why he said so.

"Gongming is worried about his mother?"

"Yes, my mother lost her legs because of me. How can I ignore my mother because of my own selfishness?"

Xu Huang is a person with lofty aspirations, how could he not have the idea of ​​going on the battlefield? Only he can't!

"I don't think Gongming has any need to worry about the old lady. I can take the old lady to the General's Mansion, and Gongming and I will raise her together!"

Xu Huang smiled and shook his head with a smile.

"Then what if I die in battle?"

Liu Zhang finally understood Xu Huang's worry. He didn't expect a young man who was just twenty years old to know the world so well.

He deeply understands the truth of human relationship!

Xu Huang knew that Liu Zhang valued him and was willing to take the initiative to take care of his mother, but what if Xu Huang died in battle? Can Liu Zhang still treat his mother like this?

"So I can't agree to the general, I can only disappoint the general..."

Liu Zhang's momentary absence made Xu Huang even more disheartened, and his wavering mind was instantly extinguished.

"Gongming, don't get me wrong! If you are willing to be loyal to me, your mother will be my mother from now on!"

Liu Zhang was really wronged, he never expected Xu Huang to think so long for his mother!

"I've made up my mind, please forgive me, the general!"

Xu Huang's tone was very firm, and he had clearly told Liu Zhang that he would not be swayed by words.

Liu Zhang didn't make fun of himself anymore, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to recruit Xu Huang alone.

Turning around and walking towards the study, Liu Zhang was not disheartened, he already knew the key point of recruiting Xu Huang.

Xu Huang's mother was Liu Zhang's breakthrough point!

According to historical experience, in any family that can cultivate outstanding talents, its mother generally understands righteousness!

Like Tai Shici back then, if Tai Shici's mother hadn't spoken, it would have been impossible to achieve it with Liu Zhang's own ability.

Liu Zhang took the written bamboo slips and returned to the living room.

"Wenhe, Gongda, how are you chatting with Bo Cui?"

Seeing Liu Zhang's return, the three of them stood up to greet him.

"Bo Cui is an elegant man, and we have a great time chatting with each other!"

Jia Xu admired Wei Ke very much, and seemed to have forgotten the plot against him just now.

Liu Zhang walked up to Wei Ke and handed him the letter in his hand.

"Bo Yu, Xu Huang, take him back first. I have a letter here, please give it to Xu Huang's mother."

"Remember, don't let Xu Huang know."

At the same time Wei Ke took the letter, Liu Zhang emphasized again.

"Don't let Xu Huang know!"

Wei Ke nodded and put the letter in his arms.

"Don't worry, General Hou, I will definitely handle this matter myself."

"Then I'm going to trouble you."

"Since there is nothing here, I won't bother you any more. I will send this letter right after I get back!"

Wei Ji didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he bid farewell to Liu Zhang.

"Alright, Bo Cui, take care all the way."

The four greeted each other and watched Wei Ke leave.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of April, and it is time for Liu Zhang's wedding.

This period of time was very peaceful, allowing Liu Zhang to prepare for his wedding patiently.

Although marrying a concubine is not a big deal, Liu Zhang still tries to satisfy Cai Yan as much as possible.

Just when he thought he could get through the wedding with Cai Yan smoothly, the news of Northwest's defeat spread to Luoyang.

Palace Hall, Early Dynasty

"Your Majesty, according to Chang'an Express, Huangfusong failed to fight the rebel army, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals, and now he is trapped in Meiyang City."

Zhang Rang briefly read the Northwest battle report, not only for Liu Hong, but also for the ministers below.

Huangfusong lost the first battle, and suffered a heavy loss!

No one thought of it, including Liu Zhang who is familiar with history.

Liu Zhang remembered very clearly that in history, Huangfusong was in a stalemate with the rebels, and no one could do anything to them. Then Shi Changshi impeached Huangfu Songkong for spending his military salary without making any progress and was dismissed.

Huangfusong's defeat caused all parties to have their own thoughts.

He Jin was the one who suffered the most, Huangfusong recommended by He Jin, and Huangfusong's failure indirectly proved He Jin's incompetence.

To Yuan Kai, it doesn't matter whether Huangfu Song wins or loses, it doesn't concern the interests of their Yuan family.

The same is true for Liu Zhang, because he knows that Huangfusong's best situation is a stalemate with the enemy, and the ten permanent servants will definitely trip him up.

The happiest people are none other than Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong!

Especially Zhao Zhong, who was going to be laughed to death, didn't expect Huangfusong to be so incompetent, and he didn't need their ten servants to make things difficult, so he was killed until he threw up his helmet and armor, and fled in embarrassment!

Although Liu Hong didn't want Huangfusong to win, he definitely didn't want him to lose so quickly!

Now the county soldiers from all over the country have not assembled yet. Once Meiyang falls, the royal mausoleum will definitely fall into the hands of the rebels, and Liu Hong will become a sinner in history!

"This Huangfu Song is really claiming to be a famous general! He can't even beat a few thieves, and he has completely humiliated me!"

Seeing Liu Hong's long face was furious, Zhang Rang also took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

"Your Majesty, that Huangfu Song is greedy for meritorious service, and thinks he is familiar with the art of war, but in fact he has already fallen into the enemy's trick!"

Zhao Zhong would not let go of the opportunity to impeach Huangfusong, so he hurriedly took advantage of the fire to loot.

"Yes, Your Majesty, doesn't Huangfu Song know about the mausoleum behind Mei Yang? Doesn't his defeat mean that His Majesty will be infamous through the ages? This time he must be severely punished!"

Liu Hong's face became more and more gloomy, Huangfu Song lost too much this time, and all Liu Hong's plans were messed up!

"Your Majesty! Although Huangfusong was defeated, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Yu Meiyang is fighting against the enemy with all his strength, so it is better to let him take the blame and make meritorious service!"

He Jin can't watch Zhang let Zhao Zhong mess around, if he doesn't speak up for Huangfu Song, these two dogs can kill him!

Zhang Rang hated He Jin so much, how could he let He Jin do what he wanted, and immediately refuted it.

"Your Majesty, the royal mausoleum is very important, and you must not trust others! Besides, if you use such a defeated general, won't the rebels laugh at me as a big man?"

"Your Majesty, it's not good for the battle to change generals!"

"His Majesty…"

All the ministers below were speaking separately, and the sacred palace hall became a vegetable market for a while, and the noise continued.

"All right!"

Liu Hong was completely angry, and he who was already upset was even more disturbed by the noise.

"Pass down the decree to remove Huangfu Song from the position of General Zuocheqi, eliminate his title, and escort him back to the capital!"

"Zhang Wen!"

"The minister is here!"

Zhang Wen hurried out, and Liu Hong bowed down.

"I've now named you General Chariot and Cavalry. It's a holiday! Together with General Dong Zhuo who broke the barbarians, General Zhou Shen who destroyed the bandits, and soldiers from various counties, we rushed to Meiyang, and we must defeat the bandits!"

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Seeing that He Jin wanted to speak, Liu Hong stood up directly.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!"

"The queen general is coming with me, the others are waiting, let's go!"

Liu Hong turned around and left without giving He Jin a chance to speak.
