Chapter 27 White Wave Attacks
When Liu Xie came to the hall, all the civil and military officials had arrived. After saluting Liu Xie, Liu Xie signaled that everyone should not be too polite, and looked at all the civil and military officials: "My dear friends, I am not surprised that this white wave thief in Hedong is coming again, but why did Ma Teng lead the crowd to come?"
The Baibo thief was lingering in the Hedong area. Although he was nominally a Yellow Turban Remnant, Liu Xie had been traveling through time for more than a day or two and had a good understanding of many things in this era. The so-called Baibo thief did have some Yellow Turban Remnant, but if it were all Yellow Turban Remnant, Liu Xie would not believe it.
First of all, the Baibo thief has been lingering in Hedong for so many years, and has experienced Emperor Ling, Shao, and Liu Xie, who is now Liu Xie. For so long, he gathered 100,000 people, but Hedong is now prosperous and has a prosperous population. This is an abnormal phenomenon.
Let’s talk about the leaders of the Baibo thieves. During this period, in order to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Xie secretly studied the forces around him. Among the so-called Baibo thieves, there are four largest leaders, Yang Feng, Li Le, Hu Cai, and Han Xian. Among these four, Li Le, Hu Cai, and Han Xian are indeed Yellow Turban Remnants, but the combined forces of these three people are not as good as Yang Feng.
Yang Feng, after Liu Xie secretly sent Wei Zhong to investigate, unexpectedly found that Yang Feng was not a bandit, but a real Hedong Hedong Heroes. Perhaps the Baibo thief was indeed the remaining Yellow Turbans at the beginning, but with the disappearance of the Yellow Turbans over the years, the original Baibo thief had been secretly subdued by these local thiefs and became the actual local armed forces.
Thinking about it, if there were no secret support from these wealthy families, the 100,000 White-wave thieves would be an imaginary number, but there were always 30,000 to 50,000. If we had to support so many soldiers, the bandits could not do it by robbing families. Moreover, if these people were allowed to do whatever they wanted, the land of Hedong would have become a wasteland. The 200,000 Xiliang troops in Chang'an would have almost harmed the entire Guanzhong area. Hedong was only a county. If there were no wealthy families behind the support from the aristocratic families, the 100,000 White-wave thieves would have starved to death.
Not only the White Bo thieves, but also the remaining bandits today, which one does not have the shadow of the support of the aristocratic families, and even before the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, this situation has been formed. The reason is probably the tyrants of the aristocratic families who respect themselves in order to fight against centralization.
"Your Majesty." Yang Biao stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, Ma Shoucheng in Xiliang, Han Sui is all loyal and righteous. He led his people to come this time. I think there must be hidden information. It is better to send someone to lobby and ask for the reason and then make a conclusion."
Liu Xie's eyes swept over Yang Biao, but he snorted coldly in his heart. This matter may have nothing to do with these people.
Loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty!?
If it was time traveling, Liu Xie would not think anything was wrong, but if he was in a different position, his thinking angle would naturally change. Now, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, even if he was just a puppet, the height and angle of his thinking problem were obviously very different from his previous life.
If Ma Teng really breaks in, let alone whether Ma Teng will become the next Dong Zhuo, how much majesty there is in the Han Dynasty?
As for Han Sui, thinking about his resume, Liu Xie really didn't understand how these people hang the word "Loyalty" on him.
Of course, Liu Xie said nothing about how to deal with Ma Teng. In order to ensure his status, Li Jue and Guo Si would not allow Ma Teng to go straight in. No wonder Li Jue sent troops to rob Yingchuan, and these people did not react much. They were probably waiting for Li Jue to lead his troops to leave. Chang'an was empty, Ma Teng and Han Sui were able to take action. I don't know if these people really don't understand or pretend to be confused, and looked at Guo Si. Liu Xie smiled and said, "No matter what, Ma Teng is injuring, but it is a big deal. General Guo, please send someone to notify Ma Teng and Han Sui and ask them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible."
In any case, the interests of both parties are the same in this matter.
When Guo Si heard this, he smiled loudly. Does this little emperor understand the truth? He immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have ordered Li Meng, Wang Fang and Li Li, the nephew of Li Jue, to lead the army to fight against Ma Teng and cooperate with General Fan Chou to fight Ma Teng. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops are numerous, they are all mobs and can be defeated soon. Your Majesty can sit in the court and wait for the good news."
"That's great." Liu Xie nodded helplessly when he heard this. He wanted to take this opportunity to push Xu Huang to the top and said that now it seems that Guo Si has obviously been prepared. His plan has been dead before it even started to be brewed.
Yang Biao and others looked ugly, and they were still intrigue in the court, but if they were to lead troops to fight, they were obviously not on the same level as Li Jue and Guo Si.
"Can the general deal with the matter of Baibo thieves?" Ma Teng's side cannot do it, so he can only work hard on Baibo thieves. Although there are many military generals in Xiliang, if you fight on two fronts, not to mention the issue of soldiers, just the generals are not enough, right? You should know that Li Jue went to Yingchuan to rob and took away a group of troops.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Guo Si couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's okay for Yang Feng and others to gather in the mountains and forests, but if they come to Chang'an, they may not have the courage. Even if Your Majesty sits in the palace, he doesn't dare to attack him!"
"Then I'm relieved." Liu Xie nodded after hearing this, and stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not the case." The Grand servant Pei Mao went out and bowed and said, "As far as I know, although Yang Feng was called a bandit, he was a powerful man from Hedong. Moreover, when General Li Jue went east, Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked. It was the weakest time in Chang'an. I am afraid he was prepared and must be guarded!"
"What the Taipu said is not without reason. I think it would be better for General Guo to send some more people to prevent Yang Feng and other white-bolt thieves from attacking him." Liu Xie nodded. He also felt that it was too coincidental that Ma Teng, Han Sui and Yang Feng were attacking at the same time.
"Your Majesty is too worried. If Yang Feng doesn't come, I will give up. If you dare to invade, I will definitely tell him that he is powerful!" Guo Si snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said decisively.
"Report~" At this moment, a long report came from outside the hall. A Xiliang soldier rushed into the hall, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Report to Your Majesty, General, the Baibo thieves have arrived ten miles outside the city, camping and sending a group of troops. If they fail to steal the city, they are calling out outside the south gate."
Guo Si: "..."
Liu Xie shook his head, and the face was slapped. He looked at Guo Si's dark face. Liu Xie felt secretly happy. Pei Mao, who was beside him, sneered: "It seems that General Guo's reputation cannot intimidate the bandits."
"Your Majesty!" Guo Si stepped forward as if he hadn't heard it, and said in a deep voice: "I'll meet these stupid thieves."
"Since that's the case, I have never seen the battle formation yet, so I will accompany the general to watch the battle together." Liu Xie nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, no!" Guo Si did not react, but Yang Biao and others on the side were shocked: "Your Majesty is a body of gold, how can you come to the front line in person?"
"If Chang'an City is broken, I can't even have a place to avoid it. It would be better to look up at the city to inspire morale! Moreover, with General Guo and others protecting it, those thieves are not able to take my life." Liu Xie waved his hand. If he didn't go up to the city, how could he find an opportunity to release Xu Huang?
Guo Si originally refused to argue whether Liu Xie went to the city or not. What kind of morale can a puppet emperor inspire, but when he saw the ministers object, he sneered and immediately said: "It is rare that Your Majesty has such courage. Your Majesty is relieved. I will do my best to protect Your Majesty's safety."
"Then I'll be in trouble." Liu Xie nodded and asked Wei Zhong to find his guard camp, and Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu escorted him to watch the battle.
"Mr. Wen Xian, what should I do?" Seeing Liu Xie leave, Ding Chong, Sima Fang and others quickly looked at Yang Biao anxiously.
"Alas~ Your Majesty is young and ignorant, and does not know that the war is dangerous." Sima Fang could vaguely guess Liu Xie's move, and he might have some thoughts of trying to win people's hearts. However, he did not recommend this approach, and looked at everyone and said, "You are here with me to go to the city. If there is really danger, even if you fight for this life, you will definitely protect Your Majesty."
