Three Kingdoms: Start With 3,000 Qin Cavalry To Revive The Qin Dynasty
Chapter 23 Successful News Comes One After Another
"Zhang Wen committed rebellion and was found guilty. I decree that Dong Xiangguo will have full authority to handle the matter."
Faced with Dong Zhuo's power, Liu Xie had no choice but to sacrifice the third prince of the dynasty.
"Your Majesty is really aware of everything."
"Fengxian, what are you waiting for? Put Zhang Wen to death on the spot."
"As you command!"
Lu Bu agreed, threw Zhang Wen to the ground, and Fang Tian raised his halberd.
A scream resounded throughout the hall.
A bloody human head flew into the air and rolled several times on the ground after landing, making the surrounding civil and military ministers tremble with fear.
Lu Bu then picked up the head and showed it to the civil and military officials, looking like he was showing off his power.
After being shocked and frightened all the ministers, Dong Zhuo became proud and said, "My lords, what else can you say?"
Many civil and military ministers were so frightened that they all shrank and said nothing, for fear that they would anger Dong Zhuo and become the next Zhang Wen.
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to everyone.
Dong Zhuo was still a little afraid of the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei.
The Southern Xiongnu has grown to have tens of thousands of troops, and Xianbei even claims to have 100,000 cavalry (rangers), but no one knows its true strength.
Of course, he understood better that these nomadic tribes were just taking advantage of the situation to rob Bingzhou's money and population, and they posed no actual threat to him.
Compared with the nomadic tribes, the princes of Guandong were Dong Zhuo's closest confidants.
He had already received a secret report about the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao who had fled back to Runan and Bohai. They have been recruiting troops outside, and the other princes are also ready to take action.
At present, he can only let the Huns plunder Bingzhou. Only by clearing away these people with double-minded intentions and stabilizing his position can he have the mind to free up his hands and feet to deal with those Huns.
Just at this time.
"Urgent report, urgent report, great victory in Lincheng, great victory in Lincheng!"
The messenger ran all the way, shouting words that attracted the attention of the civil and military ministers on the scene.
"Lincheng is just a small city, and there is no war. There is no good news."
"Could it be the soldiers and horses near the city who repelled the Huns' attack."
"How is this possible? There are so many soldiers and horses in Lincheng that they can defeat the arrogant Huns. Maybe they have eliminated a few bandits. The local county magistrate can't wait to report the victory."
The civil and military ministers were talking a lot, but they all did not take the victory in Lincheng seriously.
Only Wang Yun, in order to divert Dong Zhuo's attention, said tentatively: "The good news from Lincheng, no matter what the content, is good news, don't you know, Sir?"
"Then let the messenger come to the palace. Our family also wants to know what good news there is in Lincheng."
Not long after, the messenger was brought into the hall.
After some greetings, the messenger began to report:
"Your Majesty, I am reporting to the Prime Minister that the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu went to Bei and led an army to invade Xihe County. They burned, killed, looted and massacred our Han people."
"The magistrate of Lincheng County, Ying Xi, recruited brave local soldiers and organized a resistance. Not only did he defend Lincheng County, he even killed all the eight thousand invading Xiongnu soldiers who went to Bei."
"Great victory in Lincheng!"
The messenger was extremely excited and raised the battle report in his hand.
"Can a mere county's troops, plus temporarily recruited private soldiers, destroy Quebei and 8,000 Xiongnu soldiers?"
Dong Zhuo looked in disbelief and strode forward to snatch the battle report from the courier's hand.
When he opened it, he was surprised by the contents.
"Where did this Ying Xi come from? He actually has such ability. With just a few thousand soldiers and horses, he was able to defend Lin County, and he was able to fight back to defeat Bei."
So far, Dong Zhuo still couldn't believe what he had seen.
"Great, that's really good news."
Liu Xie, who was sitting in the upper seat, couldn't help but praise after watching the battle report: "It is a great blessing for our great man to have such a loyal and brave warrior."
After confirming the shocking news, the civil and military officials below also whispered to each other and discussed in low voices.
"A Linxian magistrate actually killed 8,000 Xiongnu soldiers. This is a classic victory of defeating more with less and defeating strong with weak."
"Not bad, not bad. I taught those arrogant Huns soldiers a lesson this time, which really showed the prestige of my Han family."
"We, the Han Dynasty, have many capable people, but the Huns are just a handful, and they can't make any big waves."
Both the young emperor and the civil and military officials all applauded the great victory in Lincheng and the emergence of a man like Ying Xi in the Han Dynasty.
Wang Yun took a more long-term view and quickly admonished: "Your Majesty, a mere victory with thousands of soldiers can destroy eight thousand Xiongnu. This shows how strong the Xiongnu is on the outside."
"The lower official suggested that we take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to merge with the state and annihilate the Xiongnu tribe. This will not only eliminate future troubles for future generations, but also deter the surrounding disobedient foreign tribes."
"What Wang Situ said makes sense." Liu Xiegang wanted to follow Wang Yun's words and agree, but then he thought of something and turned his attention to Dong Zhuo: "I wonder what the Prime Minister meant?"
Dong Zhuo frowned and said nothing.
The land of Bingzhou is adjacent to the capital. It only needs to pass through Hedong County to directly attack Sili. It only takes one day to reach Luoyang City.
There was no room for others to sleep soundly beside the couch. Dong Zhuo also wanted to eliminate this trouble and solve the future troubles of the Xiongnu.
However, Dong Zhuo, who used to be "a pig and a dog in Xiliang", now rashly controls the emperor and is the leader in the world, which has caused dissatisfaction from the government and the public, and all over the world.
There is an undercurrent surging in the capital, and the princes from all over the Kanto region are ready to take action.
Two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, were secretly recruiting troops.
Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, Liu Yan, the Mu of Yizhou, Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou, Liu Dai, the Mu of Yanzhou, these Han clan clan members are not easy to mess with.
Suppose we send out a large army to conquer the Xiongnu.
Victory means losing troops and generals, and there is not much benefit.
Once the war is defeated, or those "rebellious officials and traitors" take advantage of Luoyang's lack of troops and take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, wouldn't it be a fire in the backyard, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Just when Dong Zhuo was about to refuse, he heard another urgent cry from outside the palace gate.
"Victory of Shenmu!"
"The Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Luofu led the army to attack Shenmu. The magistrate of Shenmu escaped, and the magistrate of Xinde Lincheng County Yingxi led the army to rescue."
"Magistrate Ying led the army to attack and kill Luo Fu. He defeated Luo Fu's 8,000 Xiongnu soldiers and achieved a great victory at Shenmu."
This battle report was like a thunder on the ground, blowing up all the civil and military officials present and the Emperor Liu Xie.
Even Dong Zhuo was shocked.
