Chapter 363 The emergency report arrives
Liu Bian was ignorant, but he also realized that the atmosphere in the court was not right. When he was a little confused, he subconsciously looked at He Jin for help.
He Jin looked up and saw that Liu Bian seemed to be panicked. He couldn't bear it. He looked at the Empress Dowager Dong and Zhang Rang with a smile on his lips. Finally, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, ignoring Liu Bian's request for help.
"Then, what are the arrangements for the general?" Liu Bian looked around carefully and asked He Jin.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was killed unexpectedly. Fortunately, he did not die. He is now gathering troops with the General Gongsun Zan of the Central Army. Gongsun Bogui has quite a lot of strong soldiers under his command. They guarded the city gates, and it was difficult for tribal orcs to invade." He Jin replied, and Liu Bian nodded repeatedly.
"Hmph, General He thinks he is a meritorious? In western Liaoning, in the barbaric land of Liaodong, the two of them don't want to retreat to the enemy, so what's the use of defending Youbeiping?"
"The people's livelihood in the west of Fanyang, Hejian, and the people's livelihood is far higher than the border areas. In the end, the two of them are really afraid of war." He Jin's speech paused, and Dong Chong intervened and refuted.
"Shut up, if you interrupt me, I will tear your dog's mouth apart." He Jin was furious and his loud shout scared many distracted people.
At this moment, He Jin's eyes were covered in blood, and his eyes were about to spit out fire, and he glared at Dong Chong, who subconsciously took two steps back.
Dong Chong retreated in shock and looked at the ministers in the court, and found that most of the officials looked contemptuous and dissatisfied. He looked at the Empress Dowager Dong again.
Dong obviously didn't expect that the butcher general suddenly broke out on the spot. He wanted to blame him, but He Jin's irritable expression made her feel somewhat guilty.
He Jin was really angry. If he said that he had been engaging in the past, he would really worry about military affairs and government affairs since Liu Bian ascended the throne.
His nephew ascended the throne and became emperor, and He Jin was determined to use his power to protect the Han Dynasty for a long time.
At present, the orcs were invading the realm, killing and eating people and doing all kinds of evil. The situation was serious, but Dong Chong was ungrateful and he was interrupted by him every time he spoke. He Jin was full of murderous intentions in his heart at this time.
He Jin sighed deeply, why is it so difficult to be a good minister and do some serious business...?
"Okay, Dong, you must know the importance of the cavalry. General, please tell me all your words." Empress Dowager He sighed slightly and comforted He Jin.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." He Jin nodded slightly to his sister and calmed down.
He, He Jin, a good minister, did not have the same knowledge as Dong's little boy. He Jin comforted himself in his heart and must find an opportunity to kill Dong Chong when he turned around.
"In the western part of Youzhou, most areas were invaded by orcs. In the direction of Bingzhou, I have dispatched the Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan to lead troops to strictly inspect the battle. Most of the orc teams on this road are less than 10,000 people, and it is difficult to become an invading force." He Jin analyzed again.
"Everyone and the left and right are sealed. We only need to dispatch strong troops to set up a formation with the northern boundary of Jizhou, and three groups will come out together to surround and kill the invading orcs, and we will definitely be able to suppress their main force." He Jindao.
"The northern boundary of Jizhou is vast, how do the general want to mobilize troops?" Zhu Jun thought for a moment and asked out of his position.
"Each prefecture and county retains elite troops, draws auxiliary troops, and the three armies of Xiyuan are the main force, using the Baoding area between Hejian and Zhongshan as the center, the auxiliary troops set up a battle to prevent them, and the elite troops of Xiyuan attack and suppress the enemy." He Jin replied.
Zhu Yan thought silently. As the battle report said, the orcs divided their troops from all directions, and many teams had already flowed into various parts of the Han Dynasty. All the places retained their elites and responded to each other. They should not cause too much turmoil for the wandering orcs.
The number of auxiliary soldiers of each prefecture and county gathered in a large number of ways, and it should be possible to defend the northern boundary of Jizhou.
The three armies and eight schools in Xiyuan left two lieutenants to prevent the orcs from breaking through. Combined with Bingzhou and Youzhou, the two places of strong troops will not be determined by whether the encirclement and suppression can be completed, but it can indeed prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
Zhu Jun understood that this time He Jin was obviously not making a fool of himself, because he should have done his homework. However, he also knew that since He Jin had no problem with his thinking, the rest was the order of the three armed forces in Xiyuan.
At this stage, it is no longer a military issue, so he doesn't need to interrupt. In the final analysis, the old men who are truly in power still want to use the orc situation to make some political arrangements for themselves.
"The auxiliary soldiers of each state will be transferred, and the place will definitely be empty. It is not necessary to tolerate those wandering orcs for a while. However, Dong Zhongying led the Liangzhou army to station in Hedong, so it would be better to transfer them as the main force of the war." The Empress Dowager Dong spoke for a moment.
No matter who listens to the three armies of Xiyuan in the end, the two empress dowagers have a surprisingly consistent attitude towards the three armies of Xiyuan in the final agreement.
Dong and He had already made up their minds that the command of this army must fall into the royal family and into the palace. This is also the biggest conflict between the He brothers and sisters.
"The Liangzhou Army is brave in combat, but after all, it is a little worse than the elite in Xiyuan."
"And orcs have already broken into the Jincheng area of Liangzhou. Liangzhou has many cavalrymen. When they are stationed in Hedong and guarding against the orcs of Jincheng, they can also respond to Sili and make solutions at any time." He Jin explained calmly, and his attitude towards Dong was plain.
It is really impossible to determine whether Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang Army is stronger or weaker than the three armies of Xiyuan.
However, let alone the royal arrogance, he considers himself the elite of Xiyuan. As for Dong Zhuo’s wars over the years, it is difficult for people to directly evaluate the Xiliang army.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo has also experienced many wars in recent years. While more defeats are lost, fewer victory are won, other troops are dead and injured, but the Xiliang army has never suffered much damage.
He Jin explained that several royal people agreed but were unwilling to accept it. Empress He and Empress Dong turned their attention to Zhang Rang, who was quite at peace today.
Zhang Rang was really at peace today. He had long understood that the tribe invasion was not seen by the leaders at all. Today's theme was essentially about the mobilization of the three armies in Xiyuan.
The problem is that the three armies in Xiyuan have no relationship with him. Jian Shuo's death and leading the emperor's will hold military power. This power will never fall on other eunuchs again. Zhang Rang was naturally at ease watching the excitement.
It was not until the two empress dowagers focused their eyes on him that he coughed reluctantly. These two people couldn't say which one would be their future thigh. The two of them had not stopped fighting for power, and he had to serve each other well, let alone the two of them together.
"General, the elite of the world, we seem to have ignored the king Donglai." Zhang Rang spoke out, and the hall was quiet.
He Jin glared at Zhang Rang fiercely, but after seeing Zhang Rang say this, he lowered his head and stood humbly beside Liu Bian, which made He Jin feel angry and angry.
‘Forget it, who can forget the man from Donglai?’ He Jin cursed in his heart. The tribal orcs invaded the great man, and Donglai Li Ling slaughtered another country.
If it is said that the invasion and the conquest of other countries, no one present is as experienced as Li Ling.
It is rare for court officials to cooperate today, and no one mentioned the Donglai power. He Jin just waited to coax out the three armies of Xiyuan and then talked about Donglai Li Ling.
When the Xiyuan Army came out, there was no need to go into battle. He Jin had thousands of ways to kill Jian Shuo Guangrong, and then the Xiyuan Army would definitely fall into his control.
Then, the Xiyuan Army will be transferred back to Luoyang and urged the Donglai Army to save the country and the people. It is rare that the court officials have acquiesced to it. Such a perfect plan was broken by Zhang Rang's words, so how could He Jin not be upset?
"The Donglai Army will never forget it, but Duke Li and I have many misunderstandings. If you want to communicate and dispatch with him, your Majesty needs to choose another good person."
Zhang Rang overturned the table, and He Jin couldn't stop talking. As he spoke, he turned his burden to Liu Bian. He Jin began to think about how to kill Jian Shuo if the West Garden didn't come out.
"Donglai Army? It seems that I heard that Donglai was established in a long time. Which Duke was so respected by you?" Liu Bian asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, Donglai Li Ling, Li Bolie." Zhang Rang whispered.
"Li Ling?" Liu Bian recalled, as if he thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Your Majesty, the island country was slaughtering the people in Yingye before the New Year," He Jin said.
"Ah!? That person? Do you want to call that person? No, I don't want to see that evil person." Liu Bian was shocked, recalling something, and exclaimed in panic.
By the way, Li Ling's reputation in the Eastern Han Dynasty was really a matter of crying. This was the result of the fact that the aristocratic families in various places did not deliberately negatively guide them.
Li Ling's island country killed countless people. After the system reported the damage to the war, Li Ling became the devil king character who was ordinary people in the Eastern Han Dynasty to deceive children.
Liu Bian had a deep memory of the number of enemies Li Ling killed. Whether it was the people in the folk market, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, they had been talking about Li Ling for a long time and were very good at it.
What's more, Liu Bian had heard that Li Ling had snatched a title from his father, and the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to say anything to stop him.
At first, Li Ling was gradually becoming a symbol of demonization in Liu Bian's heart. Want to find the evil man to fight for him? Liu Bian expressed his refusal, and he did not want to interfere with Li Ling's existence in his nightmare.
Liu Bian's attitude made the ministers in the court frown. They didn't care what Liu Bian felt about Li Ling. But as the emperor, he really lost his majesty because of his panic.
When Liu Bian's reaction surprised He Jin, he was very happy. At least his original plan could still be promoted.
If the three armies in Xiyuan were taken down and combined with the Bingzhou army in Dingyuan, Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou would not be stubborn anymore.
By then, the military power is in hand, and those old families will no longer dare to play with him. He can be a wise minister and general of the Han Dynasty with peace of mind.
He Jin had a good idea, but a burst of rushing shouts outside the hall disrupted He Jin's rhythm again.
"Report~~"
"I am afraid, Your Majesty forgives the crime, urgent military information, urgent military information!" The Sili Captain Yuan Shao stumbled into the hall.
At this time, Yuan Shao still had his usual demeanor, his hair was scattered and his face was bloodless. He shouted to enter the hall and kneeled down and shouted.
"Your Majesty, I'm urgent to report, the orcs have been raided for several days, and several states across the country were invaded by orcs. Orc troops have appeared one after another in Wuling, Jingzhou and Luling, Yangzhou."
"Impossible, how did they bypass the heartland of the Central Plains? Jincheng?" Huangfu Song exclaimed, and when he asked, he suddenly thought of something and questioned.
"Yes, General Huangfu, not only Jincheng, but also these, a large number of orcs flew across Jizhou and avoided war along the way. At most one day, he was about to enter the Sili area. Hurry, Your Majesty, mobilize elite archers to defend Luoyang." Yuan Shao said anxiously.
"Benchu! Jingxin! Let's make it clear, what are the number of those flying beast soldiers? But are they going to attack Luoyang?" Yuan Wei scolded in a low voice and asked Yuan Shao.
"The number? The flying beasts are too different from humans. Shao has no experience in this area, so the number is not easy to estimate, but it covers the sky and the sun, and there will be tens of thousands of people."
"I dare not decide whether to attack Luoyang, but this is the direction. They can throw attacks from high altitudes. Even if they don't attack deliberately, they will cause chaos and casualties along the way." Yuan Shao still had a little anxiety on his face.
"Your Majesty, please send troops to prepare for your defense." Yuan Wei thought about it, and said to Liu Bian, who was still confused.
"In the Xiyuan army, there is insufficient number of archers, and troops around Luoyang are still needed to be dispatched. The enemy should not be allowed to rage in the imperial city." Yuan Shao reminded him. He was already a captain of Xiyuan Ranlong and had a good understanding of the deployment of Xiyuan troops.
The court officials below were in chaos, and they treated the unknown. Everything they said was speculation. The young emperor was confused. The two empress dowagers looked at each other for a while, and then they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. The Empress Dowager Dong stopped everyone from being in a panic.
"What kind of silence is it! Zhang Rang sent someone to move Donglai to report the situation with the King of Donglai and invite him to help his troops against the enemy."
