"Your Majesty, Han Sui defended Jincheng to the death and killed the leaders of the rebels. He is ready to surrender. Your Majesty still needs to make a decision on this matter."

In the Deyang Hall of the North Palace of Luoyang, hundreds of officials met in court, Liu Hong looked down at the courtiers, and Yang Biao stood up and raised his voice.

Liu Cang had been wandering around the Qiang land for a long time, and before leaving, he slaughtered Wu Han.

The Liangzhou rebellion was almost put down. Jincheng was difficult to attack and was located at a strategic point. It was not suitable for the army to destroy the city, but Han Sui's troops surrounded Jincheng. Now Han Sui wanted to surrender but refused to surrender, and there were many calls for peace from the DPRK.

"General Huangfu, from what you have seen, when can Jincheng be launched?" Liu Hong glanced at the palace and asked Huangfu Song while thinking.

"Your Majesty, it's half a month. Now that Liangzhou has been pacified and the army is besieging it, within half a month at most, Jincheng will be destroyed." Huangfu Song replied calmly.

"If you gather a crowd to rebel and you deserve to die, then just surround him for another half month." Liu Hong said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you can't." Before Liu Hong finished speaking, Ma Rixi stood up and raised his voice. He glared at Huangfu Song angrily before speaking, but Huangfu Song turned his face and ignored him.

"Well? Why not?" Liu Hong frowned.

"Your Majesty, the Qiang people are in civil strife, and a large number of slaves are being slaughtered in the Qiang land. In recent years, there may be more Qiang plundering at the border gates of Liangzhou."

"Jincheng has the responsibility of guarding the border. If we besiege Jincheng, a large number of soldiers in Jincheng will be killed or injured."

"It is useless to destroy Jincheng. Han Sui has great prestige in Jincheng, so he must be appeased first. Your Majesty can order him to perform meritorious service on his behalf and resist the Hu Qiang from knocking on the border." Ma Rixi advised.

Slaves were cheap consumables for the Qiang people. They would be slaughtered if there was any hidden danger, and they would be plundered when needed. However, it had become their practice to plunder the Han people. They would run away after they robbed them. Anyway, they fled to the Qiang land, and the Han army had nothing to do with them.

Method.

It’s not that the Qiang people don’t need slaves, it’s just that their knowledge is easy to acquire and easy to kill.

Nowadays, not only are slaves lost, but civil strife has also caused a large number of Qiang people to die in battle. In winter, there will be some disasters. In recent years, it is almost obvious that the Qiang people will frequently knock on the pass.

"Haha! All of this is not Liu Cang's fault! Liu Cang acted illegally and deserved to be punished." Ma Rixi's explanation made Liu Hong hesitate, and in the palace, Wang Yun laughed full of anger and sarcasm.

Wang Yun's words were extremely targeted and he opened his mouth to attack Liu Cang. However, in the face of his denunciation, everyone in the palace was silent. Even Cai Yong, who was often dragged to court recently, shook his head and said nothing.

It’s not that Liu Cang’s character was poor, nor did everyone object to Liu Cang’s harm to the Qiang people from time to time, but Wang Yun wanted to confront Liu Cang, and he did it with confidence.

Because his house was demolished by Liu Cang and demolished again and again.

Wang Yun had a grudge against Liu Cang, and he wanted to open fire on Liu Cang. Even Liu Hong and Zhang Rang rolled their eyes, waiting for him to explain.

If someone seizes the opportunity to take revenge, you have to let them speak, right?

"Your Majesty, Liu Cang violated military orders! On the way to suppress the rebellion, he left the army without permission. This is a serious crime." Wang Yun stood up, faced Liu Hong, and opened with fists in his hands.

"Wang Censor, oh, no, Wang is engaged." Zhang Rang spoke up, and Liu Hong raised his eyebrows.

Wang Yun was the imperial censor, and it was said that he was an official who could easily interact with the emperor. However, he joined He Jin's palace and became a lieutenant in the general's palace.

On the one hand, he reported the illegal censor to the emperor, and on the other hand, he helped the general to participate in the planning. When He Jin came to power, Wang Yun rushed into the general's palace, but he also occupied the position of censor.

It doesn't matter whether he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion or he is thick-skinned. Zhang Rang spoke with sarcasm. Obviously, this kind of sarcasm made Liu Hong's perception of Wang Yun even worse.

"Haha, General Cheqi clearly wrote in the military newspaper that there was civil strife in Wuhan and the Qiang slaves massacred the city. In order to prevent the Qiang from causing trouble in the Han area, Liu Cang was specially ordered to lead his troops to escort them out of the country."

"Your Majesty, this old slave talks a lot, but he is worried that if Wang Zheng talks about King Dongping's massacre of Yu Han, it will not delay the court meeting." Zhang Rang said, apologizing to Liu Hong, and suddenly there was a sudden look on his face.

.

"Oh? Didn't the Taiwei's Mansion send the general's report to the General's Mansion for review? It's no wonder that Wang Zhi didn't know." Zhang Rang said to Wang Yun, but then looked at Yang Biao.

Liu Kuan died, Cai Yong wrote an inscription for him, and Yang Biao took over the post of Taiwei. Ignoring Zhang Rang's questioning eyes, Yang Biao drooped his eyelids and spoke calmly.

"Changshi Zhang, I made a mistake. It is not the custom of the Taiwei Mansion to send military reports to the General's Mansion."

"Haha, Lao Nu Hutu, don't blame Mr. Yang, don't blame me." Zhang Rang said with a smile. Wang Yun seemed angry because he was ignored by Zhang Rang.

"Huh!" He Jin snorted coldly. There were many people gathering in the palace.

"Zhang Rang, today the court will discuss the matter of Liangzhou. This is not the place for you to pretend to be crazy or stupid. Your Majesty, the matter in Jincheng is urgent and your Majesty needs to make a decision as soon as possible." He Jin glanced at Zhang Rang with disdain and bowed to Liu Hong.

There was a cold light in Zhang Rang's eyes, but Liu Hong was really thinking about the situation in Jincheng. Ma Rixi seemed to want to stand up and say something, but was held back by Huangfu Song.

"Old man, you have too many things to do." Huangfu Song scolded Ma Rixi.

"you.

Jincheng is related to border defense, how can it be a child's play? I am always killing talents, but you are an old man!?" Ma Rixi cursed Huangfu Song softly.

Near the two of them, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and even Yang Biao were all stroking their beards and paying attention to Liu Hong. They seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two, but the corners of their mouths were twitching and smiling.

Ma Rixi didn't believe that Huangfu Song didn't know the details of Jincheng, but he was secretly worried, thinking that he hated Liu Hong and "stabbed him in the waist", so he just sat back and watched the situation in Jincheng.

"What to guard against? If Han Sui is gone, just let that kid Liu Cang go to Jincheng. That kid is very powerful now." Huangfu Song retorted, and several people around him couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

"Qiang people knock at the pass? The caravans often go to the Qiang land to sell fruits, vegetables and grains. They are not knocking at the Han border. They can bring back more cattle and horses. You are the one who ruined the old lake." Huangfu Song curled his lips softly.

"Your Majesty, the dangers in the border areas are all caused by Liu Cang. Before the rebellion was over, Liu Cang sent troops to plunder the Qiang land. Now, not only the Qiang people, but also the Xianbei barbarians outside the Great Wall are killing slaves. If this evil is not cured, God's will will not quell it."

Wang Yun shouted loudly, interrupting the whisper between Huangfu Song and Ma Rixi. The palace was silent, and there were many people frowning. Cai Yong's eyebrows on the side were even raised.

"Master Wang, right? The Qiang people are in civil strife, and you are here fighting to the death with me, King Dongping of the Han Dynasty?"

"The barbarians killed the slaves, is it better to leave them to sharpen their swords and feed their horses?"

"Many barbarians have kidnapped my Han people as slaves, but you can save even one of them!?"

"Thief! Don't pretend that I can't speak dirty words. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being an insult to my gentleness!"

Cai Yong walked out slowly, with a good demeanor at first, but then his voice turned sharp. When Wang Yun approached, he glared at Wang Yun, raised his hand to grab the other person's collar, and even lifted Wang Yun's feet off the ground.

"Hiss~~" There was a gasp of air in the hall, and even Liu Hong's eyelids twitched.

It’s not unusual for Cai Yong to use his mouth to attack Wang Yun, but Cai Bojie actually got started!

Despite his age, this old guy actually managed to steal Wang Yunti.

Seeing that Cai Yong had no difficulty in mentioning Wang Yun, Huangfu Song looked strange and whispered to Ma Rixi: "Uncle Cai didn't teach Liu Cang to be gentle at all. How come he seems to have been infected with Liu Cang's toughness?"

Ma Rixi was equally surprised, while Wang Yun was dumbfounded.

Cai Yong wore elegant Han attire and often showed a gentle smile. The contrast was so great that Wang Yun even felt dull and did not struggle.

"Bojun, stop it. This is the main hall, don't be rude!" Everyone was dumbfounded, but He Jin came out to dissuade him, and did not dare to scold Cai Yong casually. While trying to dissuade him, Cai Yong slowly put down the stunned Wang Yun.

"Your Majesty, I have lost my temper." He bowed to Liu Hong from a distance, and Liu Hong waved his hands habitually. Cai Yong looked at Wang Yun again.

"Humph! The barbarians killed slaves, but the Hu, Qiang and Xianbei people have all returned to the Han recently. The number of people who have returned to the Han recently is tens of thousands. Don't use this matter to confuse right and wrong again!" Cai Yong snorted coldly, tossed his sleeves and returned to the ministers.

.

He was very transparent in court, as usual.

Cai Yong was more interested in Qianqi dance. He got the Qianqi dance from the old Liu family and had to practice it secretly.

But it's probably okay to let Cai Yong play the harp for three days, but letting him practice martial arts for an hour is simply not as satisfying as giving him a blow with a sword.

After getting out of the period of decline, Cai Yong practiced Qianqi dance secretly and did not want Cai Yan to find out. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. Fortunately, he continued to perform well.

He also eats a lot of tigers, bears, pythons, and now has a physical constitution of ninety, so he can really join the ranks of powerful soldiers in the army.

I'm afraid he won't be able to do it on the battlefield, but there's no problem with the thin Wang Yun.

When foreigners killed slaves, they also killed many Han people, but they also directly released slaves and drove them away.

Recently, many Han captives have returned home, and some people who received horses from Liu Cang went to Luyuan to give them away. All the officials in the court knew about these things, and it was because of these people that the officials did not blame Liu Cang for his reckless actions that might cause subsequent trouble.

.

At this time, no one expected that Cai Yong would speak out for Liu Cang in such a fierce way.

Cai Yong returned to the group of ministers angrily. Liu Hong, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Wang Yun, who was in a daze, and then at Cai Yong, who was about to return to his immortal form.

"How could Cai Bojie be so strong?" Liu Hong asked, looking at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang twitched the corner of his mouth. With the tacit understanding between him and Liu Hong, he naturally knew where Liu Hong was thinking.

Your Majesty, don't just look at the old slave. Everyone had a share in cheating him in the first place.
