"good! good! The emperor applauded loudly:"Su Xuan is indeed a brave general that I have high hopes for and promoted with one hand, and he has given me a big surprise again;"
"Not only did he help Changshe resolve the siege, but he also set fire to the 400,000-strong Yellow Turban Army, beheaded Bo Cai, and defeated the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army;"
"In this way, the danger to Luoyang will be lifted!"
"After that, as long as the three Zhang Jiao brothers in Jizhou are wiped out, the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to make any big waves, haha!"
Liu Hong has no reason to be unhappy.
God knows that when Bo Cai besieged Changshe, he had trouble sleeping and eating. There is no way, Changshe is really too close to Luoyang.
It can be said that it is less than half a day's journey.
It is like a light on his back.
Now, This threat has finally been lifted
"Father, how should I reward him?"
Liu Hong happily asked Zhang Rang who was standing aside.
Zhang Rang immediately said:"Thunder, rain and dew are all grace. How to reward it, Your Majesty can do whatever you want!"
"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty. As a brave general promoted by Your Majesty, Captain Su naturally has no dealings with the Yuan family and has no big background behind him. He can only follow Your Majesty wholeheartedly, so there is no need to worry about his having second thoughts;"
"Now that the general is powerful and controls almost all the military power in Luoyang, Su Xuan can be used as His Majesty's help."
Although Zhang Rang said that it was Liu Hong's decision, he analyzed Su Xuan's situation clearly to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong's eyes lit up:"Indeed! Su Xuan has no foundation in the court, he was promoted entirely by me against all the opinions of others;"
"Last time, Mrs. Yuan treated him badly, so it was impossible for him to side with Mr. Yuan, which was a good thing;"
"In this case, I will appoint him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, commanding 20,000 troops, and continue to help me put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
Liu Hong understands that when he announces the appointment of Su Xuan in the court tomorrow, he will inevitably encounter opposition from many people.
But the more this happens, the more he will appoint him like this.
This will not only disgust the Yuan family and other officials, The nobles and the general He Jin can also isolate Su Xuan, so that he is naturally rejected by other forces and can only rely on him as the emperor.
In this way, he can safely use Su Xuan and promote Su Xuan with confidence.
Don't really think that he No brains, he is smart
"Your majesty is wise!
Zhang Rang heard this and immediately praised him.
At the same time, he thought to himself:"Su Xuan!" Did you see that? I am very trustworthy and will help you as soon as I say I will."
As for the emperor deliberately isolating Su Xuan?
He can see it.
But it is also beneficial to Zhang Rang.
He is also worried that Su Xuan will rely on those powerful gentry forces in the future!
Luoyang, Yuan Mansion,
"Brother! A letter came from Xun Ciming! I hope we can stop targeting Su Xuan and reconcile with him. What do you think?"
Yuan Wei read the letter sent by Xun, handed it to his elder brother Yuan Feng, and then asked
"oh? How could Xun Ciming be related to that brat Su Xuan? Are you still going out of your way to help him?"
Yuan Feng took the letter and read it quickly with a strange look on his face, and suddenly smiled with understanding:"Haha! Unexpectedly, Su Xuan actually fell in Xun Shuang's eyes and even got married to Xun Shuang's youngest daughter?"
"He's in luck!"
Yuan Feng was surprised
"No! Yuan
Wei nodded noncommittally:"It's not an exaggeration to say that this kid has both civil and military skills. The only difference is his background;"
"If I hadn't hated him from the beginning, and the position of Nanyang Prefect was very important, I would have wanted to win over him;"
"If he had known this, he would not have done this in the first place, but now Qin Jie has begun to disobey his orders;"
"In this case, it would be better to win over Su Lie and Su Xuan and let Su Lie take the position."
This transaction is a loss after all.
"There is no point in regretting what has been missed!"
Yuan Feng shook his head, then put the letter on the table, pondered for a while and said:"Xun Ciming still needs to be given face;"
"Since the real boy has fallen into Xun's eyes and is going to become Xun Ciming's son-in-law, he can be considered a member of our great gentry clan;"
"Reconciliation is reconciliation!"
"After that, we will not target him regarding his promotion;"
"When he gets married to Xun Cai, he will give him a generous gift and let Xun Ciming be the intermediary to make peace;"
"If he was sensible, he would have known to expose the past."
This is the greatest sincerity of his Yuan family.
But it seems that Su Xuan finally lost his sense of humor.
Yuan Feng believed that Xun Shuang would teach Su Xuan the truth.
Mutual compromise is an art.
In the eyes of nobles like them, there is only eternity. There is no eternal hatred for the interests of others.
What's more, Su Xuan and the Yuan family are far from hating each other.
Well! At least, that's what Yuan Feng thinks.
"That’s good! After hearing this, Yuan
Wei had no objection.
But then he said:"However, it is not good to see others continue to make contributions and get promoted!""
"Now, the Yellow Turban Army in the south has become insignificant, leaving only Zhang Jiao in Jizhou;"
"Lu Zhi was worthy of the name of a famous general. He did not act impulsively, but chose to work step by step, forcing and compressing Zhang Jiao's living space step by step;"
"If this continues, Zhang Jiao will definitely be defeated within three months;"
"At that time, all the greatest credit for the thief will be attributed to him;"
"With Lu Zhi's status and official position, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will become a general and a marquis, or even one of the three princes, above you and me. This is not possible!"
The Yuan family was busy, secretly encouraging and supporting the development and uprising of Taiping Road, not to make wedding clothes for Lu Zhi and others.
It was to expand the Yuan family's influence and power, and to exert power in both the government and the public.
Just Lu Zhi, never think of taking away the fruits of their victory
"really!"
Yuan Feng nodded affirmatively:"After Zhang Jiao made such a fuss in Jizhou, more than half of the powerful nobles were eliminated, and a lot of power space was vacated. We want all of this;"
"In the same way, we also want the credit for paying off a thief;"
"Lu Zhi's strategy was very good, and he defeated Zhang Jiao to death;"
"But there is a fatal flaw, that is, it is too slow!"
"Our Majesty is an impatient man who loves great achievements;"
"Especially in the case of Su Xuan, Nanyang, and Changshe's quick victory, as long as someone is provocative, Lu Zhi's strategy can be misinterpreted as Lu Zhi's deliberate delay to support the invaders' self-respect;"
"Given the suspicious temperament of our Majesty, he will surely believe it when the time comes;"
"By beating the drums from the sidelines, we not only made Lu Zhi lose the power to command the army in Jizhou, but also made Lu Zhi go to jail;"
"By then, his threat will naturally be gone;"
"Then, we can recommend our people to lead the war in Jizhou battlefield;"
"Come to think of it, with Zhang Jiao and the sun setting on the west mountain, it can be wiped out with a snap of a finger;"
"After the war, when we have obtained the benefits, we can also intercede with His Majesty and ask Him to pardon Lu Zhi's guilt while His Majesty is happy;"
"No wonder Lu Zhi will be grateful for our help! hehe!"
Yuan Feng's words can be said to be the ultimate use of power and maximization of interests.
Well! If everything goes well and no accidents occur,
"high! Big brother is really tall!"
After hearing this, Yuan Wei gave his eldest brother a thumbs up in admiration, and then recommended:"Brother, Dong Zhuo has performed well recently. His Flying Bear Army is powerful and can build military formations;"
"He is also quite good at military affairs, and he is a disciple of my Yuan family. He can be Lu Zhi's successor!"
"oh! correct! On the surface, he is actually not ours, but He Jin’s;"
"But he listened to us. He Jin and even the emperor should not be aware of this matter."
"When the time comes, we can let He go in and recommend him, and then we can take advantage of the situation and let Ben Chu also lead the troops of the fifth school of the Northern Army, and let Dong Zhuo take care of him, and follow suit;"
"When the time comes, Benchu will be able to be rewarded and promoted legitimately, what do you think, eldest brother?"
In the eyes of the two brothers, Lu Zhi seemed to have become a chess piece, a plaything.
An existence that could be manipulated at will.
"Can!
Yuan Feng listened and nodded:"Dong Zhuo is indeed good, so let's do it like this!"".....(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) At the court meeting the next day, the emperor Liu Hong announced the good news of Changshe’s victory as expected, and announced that Su Xuan, who had made the first contribution to the fight against thieves, would be promoted to the title of Zhonglang General. Command 20,000 troops and continue to suppress the rebellion.
Yuan Feng, Yang...It was rare that the nobles did not stand up to object.
Liu Hong only thought that these people knew that opposition was useless and that they did not pay attention to Su Xuan, so he did not care.
On the contrary, He Jin expressed his opposition as always[]
Because the emperor gave Su Xuan more and more military power, which made He Jin feel threatened.
He felt that the emperor was deliberately weakening his military power in disguised form and cultivating and setting up an opponent for him.
In addition, Xunshi had no contact with He Jin and did not notify He Jin.
So that's it.
When Liu Hong saw it, he was not angry but happy.
This is the effect he wants!
He Jin was right.
He did intend to support Su Xuan to rise up and fight against the noble families such as He Jin and even the Yuan family.
Of course, on the surface, Liu Hong still had a straight face, glared at He Jin fiercely, waved his hand and said:"This matter is settled!"
"I have long said that I will be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes;"
"Su Aiqing once again bravely made new achievements, how could he not be rewarded?"
"If, General, you are willing to charge into battle and go to the front line to kill the enemy and quell the rebellion, I am also willing to give you a sufficient reward. Do you dare? Liu
Hong looked at He Jin with a sneer.
He thought to himself:"You are a butcher, do you know how to lead troops in war?""
If He Jin really dares to go to the front line, Liu Hong really dares to let him go.
At that time, it would be even better if He Jin died directly on the front line. He can take advantage of the situation to take back his military power and control the military power in this drama again. He would never let it go easily again.
However, although He Jin was not smart, he was not really stupid. He cherished his own life.
How could he dare to go to the front line to seek death?
He stopped talking immediately.
"snort! waste!"
When Liu Hong saw this, he felt very regretful. On the surface, he snorted coldly and prepared to retreat.
Zhang Rang immediately understood this and said:"There is a foundation to start the memorial, but there is no foundation to retreat."
At this time, a spokesman came out and said:"Your Majesty! The minister suggested that Prince Lang impeached General Bei Zhonglang for dereliction of duty, deliberately delaying the surrender of the thieves, and not moving troops for a long time. This is suspected of supporting the bandits and showing self-respect. Please ask your Majesty to clear the river!"
"Wow!!!"
As soon as the impeachment came out, there was an uproar below.
Some were watching the show, some were shocked, and some were hostile.....And so on and so forth.
The corners of He Jinze's mouth curled up slightly.
Yes, this person was arranged by him.
Yesterday evening, Yuan Shao came to see him and told him about Lu Zhi's threat and how to frame Lu Zhi and promote Dong Zhuo to the throne.
He Jin naturally agreed.
After all, Dong Zhuo is his!
".Um? Liu
Hong frowned after hearing this, turned to Zhang Rang and asked,"Zhang Rang, is what this person said true?" Is it true that Lu Zhi hasn't used troops for many days?"
Zhang Rang could see that Liu Hong was a little convinced and a little unhappy.
At the same time, he also saw that Yuan Feng and others wanted to get Lu Zhi and pick peaches.
As for why he didn't suspect He Jin?
Ha! No! Zhang Rang looked down upon He Jin. He Jin would never be able to come up with such a plan.
"However, Lu Zhi was an upright person and was also very hostile to us eunuchs;"
"If he really achieves great success in countering the rebellion and ranks at the top of the court, it will really not be a good thing for us eunuchs.
With this thought, Zhang Rang immediately handed over his hand and replied:"Your Majesty, the battle report from Jizhou is indeed true ;"
"However, the slave girl felt that Lu Zhonglang was the head coach of one side after all, and he could not really be taken down for questioning just because of Yilang's words!"
"Why doesn't Your Majesty send someone to question Lu Zhi for confirmation?"
"If not, nature is best;"
"After all, counterinsurgency is important;"
"If it is true, His Majesty can ask the envoy who went to verify the matter to verbally reprimand him on His Majesty's behalf, and ask Lu Zhonglang to mobilize troops immediately and annihilate the traitor Zhang Jiao within the specified time."
Zhang Rang's words seemed to be partial to Lu Zhi, speaking for Lu Zhi and fighting for opportunities.
In fact, it was not the case.
Who would be the envoy Liu Hong could send?
Who could make Liu Hong feel at ease?
Of course it would be eunuchs like them!
What Lu Zhi hates and despises the most is eunuchs. What good words can he say?
In addition, although Lu Zhi has a bad temper and a tough temper, he is indeed very capable in fighting. Since he has chosen the current tactics, there must be a reason..
Zhang Rang asked himself that he knew Lu Zhi very well.
He knew that he would never obey and modify his tactics just because of the reprimands brought by a eunuch. The final result would definitely be that Lu Zhi was disobedient and disrespectful, and he would inevitably be sent to Luo in a prison car and lost. As for the position of Jizhou coach.
As for this, can Yuan Feng and others' plan succeed and use their people to replace Lu Zhi to pick peaches in Jizhou?
Zhang Rang can only say that Yuan Feng and the others really want to eat peaches.
He does He doesn't understand the art of commanding troops to fight.
But he understands Lu Zhi, Zhang Jiao, and His Majesty.
(If the corner of Qian Zhao) was really that simple, he wouldn't have forced a famous general like Lu Zhi to use the tactics of advancing step by step.
If the new commander-in-chief wants to satisfy His Majesty, he must not continue to use Lu Zhi's tactics and must fight quickly. The final result, if Zhang Rang does not predict, will be a huge defeat.
When the time comes, Yuan Feng and the others will definitely steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Zhang Rang just sit back and wait to watch the show.
"Um?"
When Liu Hong heard Zhang Rang's words, he turned to look at Zhang Rang in surprise. He was obviously surprised that Zhang Rang would actually speak for Lu Zhi.
He knew that Lu Zhi hated eunuchs and had a very bad relationship with Zhang Rang. That's good.
But what Zhang Rang said did make sense. He immediately looked at Baiguan and said,"What Zhang Rang said makes sense! As the commander-in-chief of a party, Lu Zhi cannot move lightly;"
"Let Zuo Feng of Xiaohuangmen act as an angel and go to the front line of Jizhou on my behalf to find out the real situation!"
"Retreat!"
After that, Liu Hong didn't give the people below a chance to speak. He waved his hand, stood up and left the hall.
After he had gone far and Zhang Rang followed him, Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang curiously and asked:" Doesn’t Rang’s father hate Lu Zhi? Why are you saying good things for Lu Zhi today? After hearing this
, Zhang Rang pretended to be sweating slightly on his forehead, and said in fear:"Your Majesty has wronged this old slave!""
"The old slave said that everything is for His Majesty, in order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible!"
"How could an old slave abandon public service because of personal affairs, and trap the general in command of the front line at such a critical moment? Liu
Hong suddenly realized after hearing this.
With an apologetic expression, he reached out and patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder to comfort him:"I was wrong to blame Father Rang!" I am very happy that you can think of me so much;"
"If only everyone in the court could be as loyal as you and serve the public wholeheartedly, that would be great!"
"The world will also become what it is now;"
"Unfortunately, they are just a bunch of selfish people;"
"I can only let you, father, be of the same mind as me." ps: The new book is on the shelves, please order first, customize it, and support us!
