Chapter 96: Good news spreads to the capital, Liu Hong has a headache
Jushou seemed surprised when he said this.
The look on Guo Jia's face, which was half-smiling but not smiling, was obviously delighted with this prospect.
"Anyway, the war has come to an end. Zilong and Junyi will take advantage of this time to train the sergeants. The imperial guards will be handed over to Dian Wei for training. At the moment, there is one most important thing to give to Ju Gong."
"My lord, please speak."
"In the battle of Guangzong, the army seized a lot of grain and grass. Zhangjiao gathered a crowd of 300,000 people. The grain and grass in the city should be at least hundreds of thousands of stones. General Huangfu has agreed to order all the grain trucks of Guangzong to transport grain to support Guangzong. Peaceful military and civilians."
Jushou smiled and said, "Then Huangfu Song will lose money this time."
"The solution to the Yellow Turban problem still lies in food. People are full today, hungry tomorrow, and will be Yellow Turban again the next day. Only after a few months, when the harvest comes, and the green and yellow pick up, can the people survive. Now it is spring plowing. , The war is over, there must be no further delays, Gan Lai will be responsible for this matter."
"Here!" Gan replied.
"Fengxiao, don't be impatient. Wait for the imperial edict these days. I'll teach you some new things."
"Lord, what is a novelty?"
Of course I'm working out, doesn't my weak physique count for anything?
…
After Huangfu Song finished writing the report that day, he rushed it to Luoyang. On the night of the third day, the report reached He Jin.
He Jin went to the palace overnight, met with Liu Hong, and reported the news of Zhang Jiao's defeat. Liu Hong was immediately overjoyed. While informing the court tomorrow, he praised Huangfu Song for being good at fighting.
Without even asking about the details, He Jin was ordered to leave. He was in a good mood and called several palace maids to attend the bed.
The next day, Liu Hong, who had indulged himself all night, was supported by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and came to the palace. All the officials were already in place. Liu Hong looked at His Highness with an expressionless face and a pale face.
All the officials murmured in their hearts, wondering what was going on in court today, but their experiences over the past month told them that going to court would definitely be bad.
Seeing the poor performance of all the officials, Liu Hong felt very proud. Today he wants to show you the power of Master Wang!
"General, please tell us about last night's military report!"
As soon as they heard the military report, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of all the officials. It seemed that the tone of today's court discussion had been set. How many days ago was the last time? Lu Zhi was removed and replaced by Dong Zhuo. Then Dong Zhuo was defeated. He should be being escorted back to Luoyang now.
He Jin stepped forward and announced loudly: "General Huangfu Songji of Zuo Zhonglang came to report that Guangzong has conquered, Zhang Jiao, his younger brother Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang have all been defeated. In the battle of Guangzong, 150,000 enemy troops were beheaded." , General Huangfu is currently leading his army to march into Xiaquyang, and the day of triumph will not be long!"
After He Jin finished speaking, all the officials gasped, took deep breaths, and whispered.
Zhang Jiao brothers were defeated?
How many days had it been since Huangfu Song was ordered to go north?
The Yellow Turban is really strong on the outside but strong on the inside!
Lu Zhi deserves it! Dong Zhuo is useless!
There was a sensation for a while, and all the officials said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, God bless this man!"
"General, please tell me and the officials again the details of this battle!"
"Here!" He Jin took out a volume of documents and read it out in front of everyone: "Your Majesty, Huangfu Song, wrote to your Majesty: Song was ordered to go north, Chen Bing Guangzong..."
He Jin made passionate speeches and used his meat-selling voice to the fullest. The officials were immersed in it. Sometimes their faces turned pale with fright at the thrills, sometimes they were dumbfounded by the enemy's plan to defeat them, and sometimes they were excited by the bloodbath. My blood boiled, as if everyone had experienced the war.
"In the battle of Guangzong, the greatest achievement belongs to the young master Liu Qing..." He Jin couldn't help but paused when he suddenly read this name.
Chen Liu, Yingchuan, Dongjun, Jizhou, why is he everywhere!
Liu Hong remained silent, so He Jin had no choice but to continue reading.
"Yu Gongzi Liu Qing, faced with Zhang Jiao's strange formation, Liu Qing recommended Liu Bei and ordered his two sworn brothers Guan and Zhang to lead the army and break the enemy's formation. Our army took the opportunity to attack the city and defeated Guangzong in one fell swoop. Zhang Jiao led the army to flee, and Fu Xie led the army to flee.
The soldiers ambushed and killed all the fleeing troops. However, Taoist Zhang Jiao was extremely cunning and used miraculous magic to escape. Thanks to Liu Qing's cleverness, he caught Zhang Jiao and fought with him. Finally, he beheaded Zhang Jiao and presented it to His Majesty...
"
After listening to the second half, all the officials were already confused. There were all kinds of Qimen Dunjia. Could it be that Zhang Jiao really knew the magic?
All the eunuchs were sweating coldly, especially Zhang Rang. He had dealt with Zhang Jiao, but he never expected that Zhang Jiao would be defeated by Liu Qing.
After He Jin finished reading, Liu Hong did not respond, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a long time, he said weakly: "Please give me a reward based on your merits!"
General He Jin, Lieutenant Yuan Wei, Situ Huang Wan, and Sikong Zhang Wen all came out together and began to meet.
Zhang Rang touched Liu Hong's side and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jiao is going to kill you. It's such a happy event, why are you so depressed?"
Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang and said, "You also heard the last part. Huangfu Song took Liu Qing as the chief contributor. What do you think?"
Zhang Rang's eyes swayed wildly, and his mind was rapidly racing.
"Your Majesty, Brother Zhang Jiao defeated Lu Zhi first and then Dong Zhuo. Both of them controlled large armies. Liu Qing only had a thousand volunteers. How could he influence the situation of the battle?"
"How can he, who is white, be able to recruit talents for General Huangfu and influence General Huangfu's deployment? Could it be General Huangfu and his..." Zhang Rang deliberately left it blank for Liu Hong to think about.
Liu Hong's expression became serious.
"Your Majesty, have you ever discovered that Liu Qing is not as good as a group of merchants in Jizhou, so why is he present everywhere where Huangfusong is, Yingchuan, Dongjun, and finally Jizhou, and Huangfusong has contributed to him several times?
For what purpose?”
Seeing Liu Hong's increasingly solemn expression, Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liu Hong didn't let go, Liu Qing couldn't get ahead no matter how much he jumped around.
He had a flash of inspiration and whispered again: "Your Majesty, recall Huangfu Song's central army as soon as possible. If time goes by, the central army may become a foreign army."
Liu Hong's brows suddenly furrowed, he straightened his body, looked at His Highness, and saw that the four houses were still discussing.
"Is there any result in the fourth house?"
He Jin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the battle report of General Huangfu, although Guo Dianguo was defeated together with Dong Zhuo, he fought bravely and took the lead. His merits and demerits can be offset, and he can continue to be the Julu Prefect. Wei County Prefect Li Wen
For meritorious service in defending the territory, blocking the Yellow Turbans from Wei County, and assisting Huangfu Song in attacking the city, he can be promoted to the third rank. Liu Bei is a white man. He has made great achievements in the first battle, and can be granted the title of county captain.
With his manpower and water, Zhang Bao's army was destroyed, and he was also the one who exposed the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Ju was granted the title of prefect for his merits. Ju was awarded to his subordinate county lieutenant Zhao Yun, who fought bravely and fought with Zhang Liang.
In the end, Zhang Liang was killed, and he was promoted together with Jushu, and fought for Liu Qing, the captain of Jushu..."
