In July of the third year of Zhongping of the Han Dynasty (186 AD).

＝＝＝

Liu Yu slowly put down the book in his hand, looked at Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, and was speechless for a while.

"Bo'an, this Li Zhonglang is your former disciple, and he is carried by you, you should know it very well. Tell me, he suddenly overstepped his authority and suppressed corruption in Xiliang, and caused such a big disaster for no reason, what did he want to do? Is it worldly or has it another purpose? Huangfu Song stroked his long beard and asked softly.

"He's an idiot." Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "He lost his memory when he was in Xianbei and has never recovered. Although he can fight, has high martial arts, is gentle and honest, sympathetic to his subordinates, and loyal to the Han Dynasty, he knows very little about this kind of struggle for power and profit, and he is deceitful, so if he has a purpose, it is also for his subordinates, for the sake of the Han Kingdom, just as Lord Taiwei said in his letter, the traitors in the court and the corrupt officials in Xiliang forced him to be anxious, and the result was ......"

Huangfu Song smiled dumbly.

Huangfu Song is in his fifties, tall and heroic. After he was dismissed from his post in Xiliang because of a long period of unsuccessful fighting, he has been idle at home.

After receiving the letter from the lieutenant Zhang Wen, he was secretly surprised. He is from Xiliang, and his family is a famous family in Xiliang, so of course he knows everything about Xiliang. touched the inside story of Xiliang's bureaucracy, that is, provoked a power struggle between the traitorous eunuchs and the bureaucrats of the world. Judging from the current situation, the matter has been maliciously expanded for Li Zhonglang, and there is no room for maneuver between the two major forces, and the struggle against the traitorous eunuch is imperative. Huangfu Song did not hesitate at all, and immediately set off to Shangshu Lu Zhi's house.

Lu Zhi is a native of Zhuo County, Youzhou, and has had the ambition to help the world since he was a child. He is eight feet two inches long, handsome and elegant, resolute in temperament, uninhibited, and observant of big festivals without being informal. Lu Zhi's voice was very good, thick and ethereal, as if it had run out of bronze. Lu Zhi also likes to drink, and he is also very good at drinking, and a stone of wine is not a problem. When he was young, he was a classmate and friend of Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar in Beihai, Qingzhou, and they both studied behind Ma Rong, a great Confucian scholar in Fufeng Maoling. Ma Rong is a relative of the emperor, with a luxurious family house and a luxurious life. When he was teaching at home, he often set up a silk tent on the pulpit, and a female musician behind the tent, and he lectured in front of the tent. Lu Zhi listened attentively, and he hadn't even looked at the female music behind the account for several years. Ma Rong loved and admired him very much because of this. Lu Zhitong is a master of scripture in ancient times.

When Lu Zhi was studying in Chang'an, he met Huangfu Song, and the two had a similar temper and a very good relationship. When Huangfu Song saw Lu Zhi, he hurriedly told him about Xiliang. Lu Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly ran to Liu Yu's house with him.

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "The consequences of this incident can be imagined. In order to thoroughly investigate Xiliang's corruption and perversion of the law, we must first get rid of the traitors in the palace and punish corruption from top to bottom. Li Zhonglang's bottom-up approach is purely to hit the stone with an egg and bring about his own destruction. How can a traitor who is high up in authority, who does whatever he wants, tolerate others who harm their interests? ”

Liu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Now the yellow scarf is not settled, the west is undecided, the people are living in hardship, and the country is in difficulty. At this time, if there are waves above the court again, the blow to the Han Dynasty can be imagined. What an eventful time. ”

Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "Yizhen, Bo'an, you seem to be overly worried. Li Zhonglang's killing of Zuochang in Chang'an and the attack on Qingwu in Maoling have already forced us to a dead end. Now, whether it is Lord Taiwei, Lord Liu, your Emperor Fu Song, Lord Gai Xungai of Jingzhao Mansion, or the traitors in the palace, there is no way back except to sacrifice their lives. This is a good thing, and perhaps it is also an opportunity for us to take the opportunity to eradicate the traitors and revive the Han Dynasty. ”

Huangfu Song looked at Lu Zhi, who looked excited, and asked puzzledly: "What Li Zhonglang did, in the eyes of the traitors, is the beginning of us bureaucratic clans joining forces to deal with them again, so they will fight back immediately." If there is another disaster of party rebellion in the court, what good will it do us? ”

Lu Zhi smiled: "How do you know that we will definitely lose?" ”

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "Zigan, I don't know why you are so confident, but I don't, I'm too disappointed in Your Majesty." Without His Majesty's support, we could not have won. ”

Huangfu Song continued: "Zhao Zhong is something, he sent a little money to the emperor, and the emperor made him a chariot general. Eunuchs are generals, which is probably rare in my dynasty. It's just a matter of letting this eunuch be a general, and the emperor even asked him to preside over the discussion of the merits of the Yellow Turbans, and reward and punish the meritorious officials who put down the rebellion against the Yellow Turbans in various places. What else would he have but to be corrupt and pervert the law and slander and frame him? If you don't give him money or bribe him, no matter how much credit you have, you won't be able to become an official or be promoted. As long as you give him money, you can get an official without merit. In the past few months, at the door of Zhao Zhong's mansion, there has not been a lot of traffic and crowds of people. ”

"The Yellow Turban ant thieves are pacified by us, and we don't even have the right to speak. There is no distinction between right and wrong, black and white are reversed. Huangfu Song sneered helplessly, "Now that the power of the traitorous eunuchs is still better than before, it is too difficult for us to take advantage of the matter of Xiliang to bring them down." ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Brother Yizhen, don't be so unconfident, the current situation is a little different from the past. Do you remember Zhang Jun in Langzhong? ”

Huangfu Song's face was unbearable, he waved his hand, and did not speak.

Lu Zhi glanced at him and said: "Langzhong Zhang Jun once wrote to His Majesty, thinking that the reason why Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Ant Thieves, was able to raise troops and rebel and have millions of followers was because the traitorous eunuch party held power and allowed others to be traitors, and sent his relatives, friends, and disciples to various states and counties as officials. These people are like locusts, every time they go to a place, they will definitely live up to their wealth and profits, invade the people, knock out the bones and suck the marrow, and do all kinds of evil, forcing the people of the Han Dynasty to have no way to live, and there is nowhere to complain if they are wronged, so that the people's grievances are boiling, and the officials force the people to rebel, so they have to cut wood and expose the rods and gather as thieves. Zhang Jun begged His Majesty to behead the traitors and hang their heads on the southern outskirts of the capital, so as to apologize to the people of the world, and then send a messenger to proclaim the world, so that everyone in the world would know, so that the rebellion could be quelled without the need to use a large army. ”

"The Son of Heaven has been deceived by the traitors in the past, and only now did he know the cause of the rebellion. The Son of Heaven took Zhang Jun's recital and angrily reprimanded Zhang Rang and others. The eunuchs were so frightened that they were so frightened that they kowtowed one by one, kowtowed again and again, and said that they were willing to go to prison to serve their sentences, and also took out all their family wealth to help the military expenses. His Majesty could not resist their persuasion, and when his anger subsided, he immediately acquitted them, but later His Majesty warned them many times that they should be restrained in everything in the future, and that they should not do it again. ”

Huangfu Song smiled faintly and asked, "What does Zigan mean, do you want to say that Your Majesty no longer believes in adulterous eunuchs as he did in the past?" ”

Lu Zhi nodded and said: "The cause of the party in this dynasty is still because of the struggle for the rights of traitorous relatives and clan bureaucrats. At that time, the Son of Heaven was still young, and the traitorous eunuch was in charge of the government, and the Son of Heaven was at their mercy, and the traitorous eunuchs Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and Hou Lan were powerful, and we really had no way to fight them. But now the Son of Heaven has grown up......"

Huangfu Song shook his hand and interrupted Lu Zhi's words.

"Zigan, how did Zhang Jun die? Back then, the Son of Heaven consulted Zhang Jun and scolded him for being a crazy person, and the Son of Heaven also thought that there were good people among these traitors. Zhang Jun was not convinced, and continued to play impeachment. The Son of Heaven saw that Zhang Jun had been helping the rebel to intercede, and suspected that Zhang Jun was a rebellious party, so in a fit of anger, he ordered the court lieutenant and the imperial historian to review Zhang Jun, but Zhang Rang and others took the opportunity to collude with the court lieutenant and frame Zhang Jun, resulting in his unjust death in prison. ”

"The Son of Heaven has grown up, but he has lived with these traitors since he was a child, and he is very close emotionally. His Majesty once said in front of the ministers in Yong'an Houtai that Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother. His Majesty treats the eunuchs like parents, which shows grace. Even if the eunuchs commit a mortal sin, the Son of Heaven will protect them. The Son of Heaven has always treated us as outsiders and will not trust us at all. ”

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, and then said, "A few more things happened later. Together, these few things made the traitors finally lose His Majesty's trust. This is what His Majesty said to me personally, and it should not be wrong. When His Majesty said this, Lord Liu was also there. ”

Huangfu Song looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Master Hou should be confident." "After Huangfu Song was dismissed, he was still a townsman with 2,000 foods, so Liu Yu called him so.

"Zigan, then you can talk about it." Huangfu Song said, "If Your Majesty really no longer trusts the traitorous eunuchs, then our chances of victory will be great." ”

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "In the past few years, a lot of things have happened in the Great Han Kingdom, and the Son of Heaven has experienced it, and finally understands a truth, that is, governing the country still needs talents, and scholars are needed. In the end, it is up to us to rule the world. ”

"Brother Yizhen, do you remember that Zhang Jun's matter has just ended, and then there was another incident of Yuzhou Assassin Wang Yun's secret rape with Zhang Rang, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng and the Yellow Turban Ant Thief inside and outside?"

Huangfu Song nodded.

Lu Zhi continued: "Wang Yun has the letters they exchanged with the ant thieves in his hand, and the evidence is conclusive. The Son of Heaven was furious and asked Zhang Rang and others. The Son of Heaven said, you all said in the past that the Qingliu people of this dynasty plotted against each other and imprisoned and killed them. But what about now? Now those pardoned party members are still serving the country, but you are fornicating and rebellious, trying to subvert the country's social system, how do you explain it? Zhang Rang and others couldn't shirk it, so they simply pushed it onto the dead man, saying that this was all done by Wang Fu and Hou Lan, who were in charge of the middle school. Of course, His Majesty knew in his heart that although he did not severely punish the traitorous eunuchs, it was obvious that His Majesty no longer trusted them. ”

"There is one more thing, which is also very stimulating to Your Majesty. In February last year, Nangong Yuntai was destroyed by fire. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other traitors persuaded the Son of Heaven to issue an order to collect money with a tax increase of ten yuan per mu of land to repair Nangong Yuntai. In addition, the timber and aragonite of Taiyuan County, Hedong County, and Longxi County were requisitioned, and each county was ordered to send it to Beijing on a certain day for repairing the palace. The little yellow men and the middle attendants not only imposed heavy penalties on those who did not meet the deadline privately, but also forcibly purchased timber and aragonite at a low price of 10% without telling His Majesty, and then sold them to the imperial court at ten times the price, making huge profits from them. ”

"Those who have been promoted, such as the assassin history, the two thousand stone officials, and Maocai Xiaolian, must go to the West Garden to donate money before leaving, and donate to His Majesty to repair the palace. His Majesty's set a small amount, but the traitors concealed His Majesty's knowledge that the Taishou of the big county would pay twenty or thirty million dollars, and the rest of the officials at all levels also paid a certain amount of money before they could take office. Many officials could not afford to pay the money and had to commit suicide. At that time, Julu was too guarded by Sima Zhixin in Hanoi, because he had no money and was unwilling to exploit the people in his office, so he had to say that he was sick and resigned to go home. When he went to Mengjin, he was really angry, and wrote to His Majesty, trying to show the loss of the world, the ring of ancient and modern disasters, because he was afraid of disaster, he swallowed medicine and committed suicide. After His Majesty saw the performance, he knew that the traitors took advantage of the opportunity to repair the Nangong Yuntai to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and took bribes from them for personal gain. His Majesty was very angry and smashed the Zhixin piece directly into Zhao Zhong's face. Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang handed over all the stolen money, and also paid His Majesty a large sum of money, and His Majesty gave up. ”

"Your Majesty later said in front of us, treacherous eunuchs mislead the country, treacherous eunuchs mislead the king. Therefore, don't look at Zhao Zhong collecting money happily now, he is about to be unlucky. Lu Zhi said with a smile.

Huangfu Song smiled bitterly: "According to what you say, who does Your Majesty trust?" ”

Liu Yu molded a little goatee and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't trust anyone, so you trust money." ”

Huangfu Song was stunned, and then suddenly said: "Bo'an has a point. The year before last, when I went to Yuzhou to conquer the Yellow Turbans, I persuaded His Majesty to take out the money from the Central Tibetan Mansion as military funds and use the horses in the West Garden to enrich the cavalry, but His Majesty refused. His Majesty is very stingy. ”

"Don't be stingy." Lu Zhi smiled, "He just doesn't pull out a dime." He made a Wanjintang in the West Garden to pile up money for himself, and he always complained about his lack of money. Some ministers said that the Son of Heaven was not born by the first emperor, but was originally the Marquis of the Jiedu Pavilion of Hejian County, because his family was poor when he was young, so he had this habit when he grew up. This explanation is very far-fetched, who knows what the Son of Heaven thinks? ”

Liu Yu said: "Your Majesty has liked to accumulate money and treasures since he was sensible. Every year, when each county pays tribute to the treasury, a part of it must be transferred to the Central Tibetan Prefecture, which is called the 'guide fee'. The late Zhongchang servant Lu Qiang once advised His Majesty, saying that the rivers and mountains of this great Han Dynasty belong to His Majesty, and the money in this world is also His Majesty. These things belong to His Majesty, where is there any public or private talk? He hoped that His Majesty would give up his penchant for accumulating wealth, so as not to breed evil. But His Majesty turned a deaf ear and still went his own way, and in recent years, he has become even more reckless and unscrupulous. ”

"He just likes money." Liu Yu sighed helplessly, "I really don't know what he is doing with so much money?"

Huangfu Song looked at the two of them and said: "Bo'an, Zigan, you all say that Your Majesty doesn't trust anyone, but people's psychology is very complicated, and when it is critical, who knows which side Your Majesty will lean?" ”

"Your Majesty has grown up under the care of this gang of traitors since childhood, and it would be a lie to say that there is no emotion. Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang colluded with the Yellow Turban Thieves, His Majesty will not investigate it, not to mention some corrupt things. That's the feeling between them. If this kind of thing happens to us, 10,000 deaths are not enough. So ......"

Lu Zhi shook his head: "Brother Yizhen, if the matter of Xiliang is dealt with this time, and the bold leopard lord finds evidence that the traitors or the protégés of the eunuchs are corrupt and pervert the law, at least we can protect ourselves, so that we will not be cut down by the eunuchs like the previous times." ”

"We can use this opportunity to crack down on the clan brothers who have survived in the states and counties, and drive their forces back to Luoyang. It's the only best result we've ever been able to do. Liu Yu said, "It is not a good thing for the Han Dynasty or the local people to have fewer corrupt officials in the local area." ”

Huangfu Song stood up abruptly and said, "It's useless to talk too much. We are in a humble position, we can't do anything, and we still have to rely on the three princes and nine secretaries to deal with everything, so let's follow the instructions of Lord Taiwei and hurry up to report the news. The leopard roared in Xiliang, and as a result, all the wolves in Luoyang came out, we have avoided today but can't hide tomorrow, what to do or how to do it. I'll go to Lord Situ's house, what about the son? ”

"Brother Yizhen, Lord Sikong, Lord Yushi's mansion, it's up to you to report it. Bo'an went to the house of Lord Liu of Taichang, and then went directly to the palace gate with Lord Taichang to wait, and as soon as the palace gate opened, he went to see the driver. Lu Zhi said calmly, "I went to visit the Yang Mansion and the Yuan Mansion overnight. Lord Yang's mansion is the third duke, and the fourth prince of Yuan is the third duke, and the protégés and former officials are all over the country, and their power is overwhelming. This kind of thing must be greeted by them first and obtain their absolute support. ”

"It's still thoughtful." Huangfu Song praised, "Let's go, let's go." ”

＝＝＝

Zhang Rang was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. He was taking a nap.

"Come in." Zhang Rang said. If there is no urgency, his chief warden will not disturb him at this time.

The pawn trotted in with a man.

Zhang Rang glanced up slightly, and his thin face showed a trace of unhappiness.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? ”

"Master Hou, Li Zhonglang captured Qingwu?" The pawn whispered angrily.

"Oh." Zhang Rang snorted, suddenly reacted, and sat up suddenly. He looked at the slave who was standing opposite, and asked in disbelief, "Who said that?" ”

The pawn pointed to the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Rang immediately recognized that person was Meng You, the younger brother of Meng Tuo, the former Liangzhou assassin, and he asked in surprise, "You came to report the news?" ”

Meng You looked panicked, he barely calmed down, and said with difficulty: "I ...... three days ago"

"Three days ......" Zhang Rang was taken aback and repeated in a low voice, "Why did what happened three days ago ...... today?"

"Lord Yuan Peng, the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, ordered the blockade of Tongguan, so ......"

Zhang Rang interrupted him with a wave of his hand and asked, "What happened to Qingwu?" You speak slowly, don't rush. ”

"The day before yesterday, my lord hurriedly returned to Wubao and told me ......" Mengyou immediately told what happened in the pass, and finally said: "My lord asked me to go to Luoyang to report this matter to Hou Ye, but when I arrived at Tongguan, I encountered a convoy of the Western Expedition army transporting grain and grass and baggage, and wanted to blockade Tongguan for a day, I had no choice but to delay until today, and asked Hou Ye to atone for his sins." ”

Zhang Rang slowly stood up, his face uncertain. The slave hurried over and waited for him to put on his coat.

"Zuo Chang was killed, Cheng Qiu, Liu Zhong are alive or dead, and more than 50 Xiliang bureaucrats have been arrested." Zhang Rang whispered, the anger on his face getting more and more serious, "This news is accurate?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, this is what my family heard from the Taiwei Mansion, it is very accurate."

Zhang Rang sneered, and asked the slave strangely: "Do you think Lord Taiwei is old and confused, or is that Li Zhonglang crazy for money......

"Master Hou, how old is that barbarian from Northern Xinjiang, what does he know?" The pawn slave scoffed and said disdainfully, "He doesn't even have the right to transfer troops, what else can he do except be a knife and axe hand for Zhang Wen?" Master Hou, I really can't see how Lord Taiwei, a very stable person, would resort to such bloody methods. ”

Zhang Rang got dressed and calmly instructed the slave: "Quickly notify a few marquis to meet in the palace, and say that something happened to Xiliang, and the party members in the court seem to be tired of it." ”

＝＝＝

Zhang Rang is a native of Chengchuan, Yuzhou, and Zhao Zhong is a native of Anping, Jizhou. The two have been in the palace since they were children, and they both served as Xiaohuangmen when they were emperors. Zhao Zhong was a few years older than Zhang Rang, and in his early years, because he participated in the action of killing his relative's general Liang Ji, he was named the marquis of the capital by the first emperor. After pacifying the Yellow Turban Army the year before last, the Son of Heaven thought that the Yellow Turbans were always serving, and the little Yellow Men had meritorious service in begging for the Yellow Turbans, and appointed Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, Song Dian and other twelve people as the marquis.

Zhang Rang walked on the corridor and heard Zhao Zhong in the house scolding angrily. They rarely get together, and they are all busy with their own business. The emperor is busy making money, and they are also busy making money. When they get together occasionally, they often accuse each other because of conflicts of interest, so they rarely get together. Zhang Rang is the most courageous and the darkest in this group of people, so every time he summons him, there will be more people.

Zhang Rang stood at the door and glanced at it, and was surprised to find that the unprecedented ones were all here.

When Zhao Zhong saw him, he immediately said, "Self-ride, this must be Zhang Wen's old bastard taking the opportunity to attack us." ”

Zhang Rang glanced at him while greeting the marquis, and asked, "Why?" ”

"Xiliang's army will run out of food next month. Recently, Zhang Wen and Gai Xun of Jingzhao Mansion played one after another, and His Majesty was very annoyed with them, so he wrote an edict to Gai Xun and asked them to find a way to solve it in Xiliang by themselves. I didn't expect Gai Xun and Zhang Wen to be bold enough to take our protégé's son. Lord Taiwei has bad intentions. ”

"Probably they thought they had made great achievements and could fight with us." Duan Jue said with a smile, "Hot-headed people often get carried away and die quickly. "Duan Jue is a native of Jiyin, Yanzhou, white and pure, thin and shrewd. Back then, it was because of the false accusations made by him and Hou Lan, who served in the middle of the year, that caused the disaster of the party in the second year of Jianning, and there were many deaths.

Zhang Rang nodded slightly, and said to Zhao Zhong: "What did Zhang Wen do when he killed Zuo Chang?" What does it mean to occupy the green dock? These gang members want to make a comeback and plot to kill us. ”

Zhang Rangyin grimaced and continued: "It's been three days since this incident happened, and we don't know until now, so it can be seen that Lord Taiwei has been planning for a long time, which means that they must have mastered some of the evidence, so they acted quickly and accurately." The party members above the government and the opposition want to kill us, and they all want to go crazy, and this time they dare to talk about Xiliang. We are in the West Lianglao benefits, don't they have it? What a joke. ”

Zhao Zhong scolded hatefully and said, "The Son of Heaven probably already knows, this time Your Majesty has been cheapened for nothing, and Your Majesty's Wanjin Hall is going to be expanded now." ”

Duan Jue sighed: "Master Hou is still thinking about money now? Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath. Your Majesty's temper is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and he is getting colder and colder about us, and this time the people of the Clan will not hesitate to lose both sides and make a comeback, maybe we will suffer. ”

"What do you have in mind?" Gao Wang, who was gorgeously dressed and spotlessly clean, asked respectfully, "Although it is more difficult for them to catch us, once Xiliang is turned over by Zhang Wen, I am afraid that our horse's feet will be exposed." ”

"First of all, what does Brother Boyan think?" Zhang Rang turned his face to look at Zhao Zhongdao.

Zhao Zhong lightly patted the ash on his clothes, and said casually: "I will immediately go and resign this general of the chariot to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Rang nodded with a smile and said, "Since Brother Boyan is so generous, I can't be too stingy. ”

Then he glanced at everyone and said: "Xiliang's affairs have been more or less connected with us for decades, and everyone has a share, including the dead Boss Cao, Hou Lan, that Cheng Qiu is not important, and many things we don't do through him." But we'd better keep him so that he doesn't get involved too much, so we send someone to Xiliang. Who wants to make a trip? ”

Zhao Zhong glanced at everyone and smiled coldly: "Xiao Song, you can go for a trip." ”

Song Dian is in his forties, of medium stature, handsome, and quiet. Among this group of marquis, he is the youngest and has the most tender qualifications. He stood up and arched his hand at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

"Xiao Song, when you go to Xiliang, the first thing is to keep Cheng Qiu, and if you can't keep it, you will kill him. The second is to find a way to find evidence of the children of the Shi clan corrupting the law in Xiliang. As long as they find evidence, they are dead. Zhang Rang said, "If you really can't find it, you can find a way to frame it, and whoever is a protégé and former official can do it." ”

Zhao Zhong laughed: "This is the next policy, the next policy." ”

Song Dian pondered for a moment and asked, "Then do we need Dong Fatzi's help?" ”

"Don't." Zhao Zhong waved his hand and said, "Dong Fatzi is too critical, I want to find an excuse to recruit him to Luoyang immediately, don't look for him." ”

"Dong Fatzi is now surrounded by the Weishui River north of Wangyuan, how can you recruit him over?" Duan Qi asked.

"That Li Zhonglang is now leading troops to relieve him from the siege, and it is estimated that he will be fine. The treasury has no money, and Xiliang's counterinsurgency is about to end. As soon as Zhang Wen returns, these people will return to Beijing. Zhao Zhong said.

"Zhang Wen is back, Xiliang's matter ......" Song Dian was just halfway through when he was interrupted by Zhang Rang waving his hand.

"The withdrawal is not a one-time thing, it will take a month or two. In a month or two, the matter of Xiliang has long been known, so we must seize this opportunity to let these Qingliu Party members die without a place to be buried. Zhang Rang said, "These people are insidious and vicious, and if they are not eradicated, they will inevitably resurge." ”

Zhao Zhong said with a smile: "I didn't kill them last time, kill them, don't show mercy this time, haha......"
