Because Li Wei and Song Wen explained the appeasement plan very thoroughly, Zhang Yan and other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army felt that Li Hong had thought of all the problems they cared about and worried about and tried his best to meet their requirements, and what they did not expect, Li Hong also helped them think of and put forward a very perfect solution, in short, Li Hong's appeasement plan was detailed and complete, and it was impeccable.
The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army saw Li Hong's sincerity and determination from the appeasement plan, and they gave up the doubts in their hearts and threw themselves into the negotiation with a very trusting and cooperative attitude. The main conditions for the appeasement were quickly agreed upon with the joint efforts of both sides. Li Hong immediately ordered Li Wei, Song Wen, Tang Fang and others to write a recital and play the Son of Heaven.
Now comes the tricky questions.
Li Hong only let the personnel of both sides rest for half a day, and then immediately began the second round of negotiations. Now that they have agreed to appease, the Yellow Turbans will have to bargain over issues related to their own future and interests. The relaxed atmosphere in the camp tent of Dalongshan suddenly became tense, and the personnel on both sides no longer talked and laughed, but became tense. After several days of heated debate, the final focus was on the army, the tuntian, and the taxation.
The Yellow Turban Army demanded that all the troops be retained, 100,000 county soldiers, and 200,000 tuntian soldiers. Of course Li Hong would not agree, a Taiyuan county raising 100,000 soldiers can't afford to support it at all? Even if these soldiers did not receive military salaries, the amount of food, clothing, and weapons they needed was staggering, and the small Taiyuan County could not afford it anyway. Li Hong only promised the Yellow Turban Army to retain 30,000 county soldiers and 100,000 tuntian soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers would be dismissed and go to various places to participate in Mintun.
The Yellow Turban Army also proposed that the army under its jurisdiction was not under the control of the imperial court and the Zhenbei General Headquarters, and that it would not accept any other deployments except to resist the invasion of Hu Kou. Li Hong smiled bitterly and asked them, after you were appeased, are you called the Han Army or the Yellow Turban Army? If it is a Han army, you don't even obey His Majesty's holy decree, what are you called Han army? Li Hong thinks that in addition to not killing the rest of the Yellow Turban traitors, the Yellow Turban Army after the appeasement must accept other imperial court requisitions, otherwise what else is it called the Han Army?
The Yellow Turban Army demanded that the county government of Taiyuan County and the county governments of the 16 subordinate counties should all be controlled by the Yellow Turban Army, and that the history of Pengshi at all levels should be appointed by themselves, and that the imperial court and the Prefecture Assassin History Department should not interfere. Li Hong didn't do it anymore. According to the ability of the Yellow Turban Army, it is impossible to carry out the military and civilian cantonments alone, and if these government officials act arbitrarily and wantonly exploit, how can they do this? Li Hong insisted that the history of the county and county governments be recruited by both sides, and that the prefecture history department had the right to report lawbreakers in the county governments at all levels.
The Yellow Turbans demanded that all the cultivated land in Taiyuan County be equally distributed to the displaced people, and that they should be in charge of the affairs of the tuntian in Taiyuan County, and they were afraid that the officials of the imperial court would corrupt and bend the law among them and harm the displaced people. Regarding this request of the Yellow Turban Army, Li Hong refused it outright. Of course, the people of the Yellow Turban Army wanted to participate in Tuntian, but it was the Zhenbei General Department who was directly in charge of Tuntian's affairs, and Li Hong would never give in to this. This is the key to whether or not the appeasement can be successful, whether the displaced people can survive, and whether the prefecture can be stabilized.
The Yellow Turbans also demanded that the imperial court exempt Taiyuan County from paying taxes for five years, and after five years, the taxes collected by the Yellow Turbans would not be handed over to the state treasury and would be freely disposed of by the Yellow Turbans. Li Hong disagreed, and only agreed to exempt Taiyuan County from paying taxes for three years, and after three years, part of the taxes collected by him would be left at the disposal of the Yellow Turban Army, and part of it would be handed over to the state treasury. He tried his best to appease Tuntian, the purpose was not to fatten the Yellow Turban Army, but to strengthen the border against the enemy, and to go north to attack Hu and recover the lost territory.
The gap between the demands of the two sides was too far, and after several days of continuous arguments, nothing came of it except that the Yellow Turban Army was willing to reduce the number of county soldiers to 80,000.
Li Hong then proposed to take a day off, and he asked Zhang Yandao: "Dashuai, do you think we are going to Longshan to see the scenery or Jinyang to see the folk customs?" β
Zhang Yan hesitated a little and said with a smile: "My lord, let's go around Longshan in the morning, and we will go down to Jinyang City." It's been more than 20 days since you arrived in Jinyang, and you haven't seen Jinyang City, right? β

When the ministers of Luoyang were still arguing about the authority of the envoy to appease the state, the preliminary plan for the pacification negotiated by Li Hong, the general of Xingzhenbei, and Zhang Yan, the marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, had been sent to Shangshutai.
Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and other Shangshutai officials discussed this plan overnight, and the next morning the emperor played the Son of Heaven. Tianzi took a hasty look at it and asked, "What do the two Aiqing think?" β
Huangfu Song praised: "General Li has made careful preparations for the appeasement, and the discussion played is basically in order. After the draft discussion, Shang Shutai thought that His Majesty could completely approve the edict. β
Lu Zhi immediately made a little explanation, and he also admired his words, "General Li is resolute and decisive, and it is really surprising that he can reach a deal with the Yellow Turban Ant Thief in such a short time. β
The Son of Heaven sneered and said, "This kid is now a big official, and he doesn't even speak in a different tone. Look at what is written at the back of the movement? If you want the court to reply as soon as possible, how can it be as soon as possible? I haven't urged him yet, he's come to urge me, what does he want to do with such a fire? β
Huangfu Song knew that the Son of Heaven was happy in his heart, but it was not good to put it on his face, so he said the opposite. He hurriedly followed the words of the Son of Heaven and said, "General Li is probably in a hurry to return to Youzhou, so he is a little speechless, and His Majesty does not need to take it to heart. The minister believed that His Majesty could then issue an order to order General Li to immediately discuss the specific content of the appeasement with the Yellow Turban Ant Thieves, so as to solve the Yellow Turban Annexation as soon as possible, appease the displaced people, and start reclaiming the land and tuntian fields as soon as possible. β
Lu Zhi also played: "Your Majesty, the success of appeasement is only the beginning, and the millions of displaced people who will go down to the mountains and fields will be the most difficult and difficult thing to do. If Tuntian fails, all that General Li has done will come to naught. β
When the Son of Heaven heard this, a pair of short eyebrows almost wrinkled together, and he looked bitter.
"Two Aiqing, how much will the imperial court cost about Tuntian?"
Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, their faces full of worry. Huangfu Song said worriedly: "According to preliminary estimates, by the end of spring plowing next year, it will be about 7 billion yuan. β
The Son of Heaven was dumbfounded.

At the court meeting, the ministers criticized Li Hong's appeasement plan in many ways, and the voices of accusations were endless. The ministers thought that Li Hong was too weak, made too many compromises, and blatantly violated the laws of the Han Dynasty in many places.
Taiwei Cui Lie still agreed to appease, in this situation, one less disaster can leave more vitality for the dying Han Kingdom. He saw that some ministers were purely looking for trouble, standing in the court and talking nonsense, Cui Lie was angry, and accused a group of ministers who were singing crooked tunes and said: "Since you think that General Li's proposal to appease is insulting to the national prestige of the Han Dynasty, then I ask you, what can you do to greatly boost the prestige of the country?" What have you done to boost the country's prestige? β
"Are you willing to donate your wealth to finance the counterinsurgency? Now that the treasury is empty, and all the military funds for counterinsurgency are provided by the Shaofu, why are you not willing to donate as much as your majesty does? If you are not willing to donate money or lead troops to fight, can this also greatly boost the country's prestige? β
The ministers were silent, but they all looked disdainful. Are you Cui Lie a high-ranking person? When you were the third duke, it was His Majesty's wet nurse who interceded with you and bought the official, and the face of the scholar was all lost to you. Now that you are a lieutenant, Your Majesty sympathizes with you for being poor and exempts you from the money to buy officials, otherwise you would have gotten out of here, and you are not qualified to teach us a lesson in this court.
Cui Lie is still talking non-stop.
"Even if this trick is negotiated, tens of billions of dollars will be needed to start tuntian, does the court have money? Is General Lee rich? There's no money to farm any fields, isn't this just nonsense? β
"General Li's purpose is nothing more than threefold, one is to use Zhang Yan, the leader of the ant thieves, to split the Yellow Turban Army. Once Zhang Yan was cared for, he immediately became discredited among the ant thieves, and no ant thief believed him anymore, in the eyes of those ant thieves, he was a rebellious and a despicable villain. In the future, even if he makes trouble again, he will just be a small thief, and he will not be able to turn over the big waves. But the big leader of the ant thieves was cared for, and the blow to the other ant thieves was conceivable. In this way, the power of the ant thieves gradually weakened, which was of great benefit to the counterinsurgency of the imperial court. β
"Secondly, using the appeasement, it doesn't take a knife or a shot to drag down the hundreds of thousands of ant thieves in the state. As long as these ant thieves do not cross the Taihang Mountain to Jizhou and join the ant thieves heading south from Youzhou, Lord Liu Yu and Liu will have enough time to gather troops and defeat the ant thieves in Youzhou. General Li's army did not have to fight in Bingzhou, so the imperial court could concentrate all its forces to support the Jizhou battlefield. Therefore, the appeasement of the annexation of the state is actually a guarantee that the imperial court can quickly quell the rebellion in Youzhou. β
"Last but not least, it is a temporary solution to the problem of displaced people. When the displaced people scattered all over the place heard that the state had given them land and fields, and that they did not have to pay taxes, they would surely wade through mountains and rivers and flock away. If there are no displaced people in the counties of the Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang, and the ant thieves will have no source of soldiers, how long can they hold on? It's amazing to be able to last a year and a half. What about a year and a half later? Isn't there no rebellion in my Han Kingdom. β
The more Cui Lie spoke, the more angry he became, and scolded them for being a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and a bunch of idiots. When the ministers heard it, it made sense, and this Lord Taiwei really spoke very thoroughly, and his vision was also far-sighted. Although he was scolded, he was a captain, so he had to admit it.
When the Son of Heaven heard this, oh, so that's what happened, this leopard kept urging and did the thing of appeasement as if it were real, it turned out that it was all to deceive people. His heart suddenly felt relieved. This morning, he was racking his brains thinking about how to deal with the entanglement of the ministers in order to keep his Wanjintang. At this time, the Son of Heaven was relieved and excited, as if he had just made billions of money, and watched with great interest as Lord Taiwei stood in the court and lost his temper.
But some ministers in the DPRK and China did not fall for Cui Lie. Xu Xiang looked at Cui Lie with a smile, and said in his heart, you said that Li Hong is a liar, I think he is really here. Okay, since you dare to openly deceive the Son of Heaven and the ministers in the court, I will help you, and when Li Hong arrives in Tuntian to ask for money, I will see how you end. I see that you, the captain, have also done it.
When Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi heard this, their heads were dizzy. This matter of appeasement was originally the top priority of the Great Han Kingdom at present, but it has become a trivial matter to give Lord Taiwei such nonsense. Although the resistance to passing the appeasement plan is small, the consequences are serious. What to do with Tuntian in the later period? That's a huge expense, who will come out of the court? If the matter of appeasement is quickly negotiated, then Tuntian will be asked, and money will be required. At that time, the Son of Heaven and the ministers said, isn't General Li just acting like a man in Bingzhou, deceiving ant thieves, what are you asking for money for? Is it really Tuntian?
A group of bureaucrats in Shangshutai stood there looking at the angry Cui Lie, crying and laughing.
Cui Lie finally finished scolding, and he still couldn't finish blaming a few subordinate officials by name, and then turned to the Son of Heaven and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that as long as it is Li Hong's appeasement, all the edicts will be allowed." The minister also believed that His Majesty should give Zhang Yan, the leader of the ant thieves, a big official, and then issue an edict to all parts of the country to publicize the matter of merging the state, so that everyone in the world can know His Majesty's vast imperial grace, second, it can also hit the morale of the ant thieves, and third, it can also let the displaced people who are scattered all over the country rush to the state. β
"Good, good, good." The Son of Heaven was overjoyed when he heard this, and said three good words in a row, "The crisis in Bingzhou was calmed because Zhang Yan was cared for, and I named Zhang Yan as the general in the middle of the peace, what do you think?" β
Xu Xiang immediately shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!" β
Among the ministers, there were still those who were ready to stand up and persuade them to oppose it, but when they saw that the three princes took the lead in chanting His Majesty's Shengming, what else did they say? Forget it, anyway, the treasury has no money, no matter what Lord Taiwei said is true or not, in the end, it is a scam to merge the state and Tuntian, and the appeasement will naturally fail, so what are you doing with so many idle things, just follow the ministers and shout Your Majesty Shengming.

Zhao Qi wrote repeatedly, and strongly asked to go to Bingzhou to participate in Zhaofu and Tuntian, but the Son of Heaven no longer paid attention to this matter at this time, and he soaked in the harem every day to escape the summer and enjoy the coolness.
On this day, Jizhou came to the urgent book. The Youzhou rebels, led by Zhang Chun and Sufuyan, the leader of Karasuma in Liaodong, captured the city of Gaoyang in the Hejian Kingdom. Yang Chun, the assassin of Youzhou, was ambushed by Karasuma Iron Cavalry on the way to retreat, and the entire army was annihilated. Now the remnants of Youzhou, under the leadership of Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, have retreated to the city of Lecheng, the place of governance of the Hejian State, and the rebels are moving in the direction of Anping State.
The army of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro also rushed through the blockade of Mu Yangqi of Jizhou at this time, and was rapidly advancing towards Handan, Zhao State.
The Son of Heaven was shocked and hurried to Shangshutai.
"Can the River Country be saved?"
Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to stabilize Zhang Yan in the state." β
The Son of Heaven's heartache changed color on his face, and he said very angrily: "Didn't I already agree to Li Hong's proposal to appease him? Why haven't you sent it yet? β
Huangfu Song said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty went directly to the harem that day, and Lord Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuojian was with His Majesty, and there was no one to be found. Without his nod, Fu Jieling would not dare to stamp the main seal on the edict no matter what, how can we send this holy decree? β
The Son of Heaven gave Huangfu Song a look, and his heart was even more unhappy.
"Okay, okay, Jian Aiqing is here, you can do it quickly. What about Jizhou? β
Lu Zhi said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the matter of this envoy is ......"
"Immediately issue an order to move Zhao Qi to the annexation of the state to recruit envoys." The Son of Heaven waved his hand impatiently and said, "What about the affairs of Jizhou?" β
"Your Majesty, who is in charge of this state appeasement?" Lu Zhi asked.
"After all these days, you still haven't discussed it yet?" The Son of Heaven scolded angrily, "What are I raising you for? Is it just arguing every day? Anyway, this thing is a lie, why are you so serious? It's okay to eat and be full. issued an order to let Li Hong take charge of all related matters, and he had the final say alone, and a few days of deception were a few days. Zhao Qi was relocated to the captain of Hutian, in charge of the state of Tuntian, and the army and the people were under his control. He is so old, and he has to travel thousands of miles to merge states for state affairs, which is too hard. This Tuntian matter is purely nothing, let the boss do it, it is just right, and when Li Hong can't deceive it, he will be called back. As for Zhang Yi, the assassin of Bingzhou, told him to go back to Yanmen Pass to escape the summer, and leave the affairs of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties alone, there is nothing to add to the chaos. β
Lu Zhi hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what are the county ......governments of Taiyuan County and Shangdang County?"
"What other county capital? Before the ant thieves could reach Jinyang and their eldest son, they ran to the east of the river. I decreed that the officials of the two prefectures should be arrested by me. β
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, who did you listen to after the old man arrived in Bingzhou?" Huangfu Song was anxious and asked loudly.
"You dead brains, haven't I already said it, Li Hong is in charge of everything, after the boss arrives in Bingzhou, don't listen to anyone, find a place to escape the heat, go cool, don't care about Li Hong's affairs, go nonsense with him alone."
Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi were dumbfounded. This matter was stirred up by Taiwei Cui Lie, everything changed, and they fought back and forth, and in the end, Li Hong alone had the final say in Bingzhou.
"Your Majesty, in this way, isn't Li Hong, the general of Xingzhenbei, the governor and the military and political of the state?" Lu Zhi said helplessly, "He can completely use the excuse of appeasement to monopolize the state political affairs." β
The Son of Heaven was really angry, he stared at a pair of small eyes, pulled his neck and shouted: "Aiqing, now it's not a matter of merging states, it's a matter of Jizhou, it's a matter of Hejian Country, it's my Hejian Country." What should I do about Jizhou? β
Huangfu Song replied: "Your Majesty, the plan now is to order Liu Yu to lead the army to Handan, Zhao State, resolutely block the rebels of Bai Huan, and prevent him from joining Zhang Chun's rebels. β
"What did you say?" The Son of Heaven struggled to slap the case and shouted, "No, immediately order Liu Yu to lead the army to support Hejian Kingdom." β
"Your Majesty, as long as the two rebel armies are not allowed to meet, Jizhou will definitely have no worries. Zhang Chun's rebels came from Youzhou from a long distance, and they went deep alone, without support, and after some captivity, they naturally wanted to return to Youzhou. Lu Zhi advised.
"Didn't you say that the Karasuma cavalry wouldn't go south? Why is it going south now? And also hit my river country? The Son of Heaven glared at Lu Zhi angrily and asked in a hateful voice, "I don't listen to you anymore, so I immediately drafted an order to order Liu Yu to support the Hejian Kingdom and repel the rebels." β
οΌοΌοΌ
After Zhao Qi received the order, he was overjoyed, immediately sold his house, dismissed the slaves, said goodbye to his old friends, and took his family of forty-seven to go to the state.
Old friend Yuan Kui was very strange and asked him why he wanted to move his family to the border county. Zhao Qi said, I am eighty years old, and I don't have a few years to live. This time I went to Tuntian, Bingzhou, and there was no ten years that I could not succeed. Ten years from now, I'm sure I'm dead, and I don't want to die when my family isn't around, so I'm going to take them with me. Yuan Kui said that His Majesty intended to let you go and come back, and did not intend to let you stay in the state for a long time. Zhao Qi said, this time in Bingzhou, I will fight this old bone, and I will also solve the problem of eating for the homeless, so I will never give up halfway, and I will never leave the people of Bingzhou, and I will die in Bingzhou.
Zhao Qi's protΓ©gΓ© heard that the teacher was going to Tuntian in Bingzhou and would not return, so he was very sad and vowed to follow the teacher and serve the teacher for the rest of his life. So in the Luoyang area, all the protΓ©gΓ©s and children of Zhao Qi abandoned their officials and left, and hundreds of disciples who studied in Taixue also quit their studies and returned home, packed up their things and rushed to the teacher's house. Zhao Qi was very moved, and said that since you are so filial, then it's okay, just follow me to Tuntian, Bingzhou.
On the day Zhao Qi left Luoyang, nearly 200 disciples accompanied him, and as many as 10,000 people sent him along the way. Everyone knew that he would never return to Luoyang, and since then they have seen each other indefinitely, and they all burst into tears.
On this day, the Son of Heaven went to the Shangshufang and didn't see Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, which was very strange, so he asked Jian Shuo, who was accompanying him, what was going on with these two people, why did they run away privately from me?
Jian Shuo replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Huangfu and Lord Lu have gone out of the city to see off Lord Zhao. Then he turned Zhao Qi into a seller of wealth and vowed to be in Tuntian in Bingzhou.
"The old man didn't bring anything, so he left Luoyang with a coffin."
The Son of Heaven was embarrassed and sighed at the sky.
"Aiqing, you have made a holy decree to make the old man the Marquis of Pingxiang, eat 500 households, give 50 catties of gold, and 500 horses of silk." The Son of Heaven whispered, "You go and take a trip to see him off for me." With such a good loyal minister, there are not many people left in the Great Han Kingdom. β
οΌοΌοΌ
The scenery of Yongsan and the folk customs of Jinyang City did not bring any benefits to both sides, on the contrary, the argument became more intense.
At this time, Luoyang's holy decree was sent to the camp tent of Dalongshan.
The Son of Heaven agreed to appease the initial plan was expected by everyone, so no one was surprised, but the Son of Heaven directly rewarded Zhang Yan as the general of the middle of the peace when the appeasement had not yet been negotiated, but to everyone's surprise, the camp tent immediately cheered. This behavior of the Son of Heaven is undoubtedly telling both parties that the Son of Heaven not only agrees to appease, but also is very sincere in appeasement.
The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were first shocked, then surprised, and then a kind of bitterness that penetrated into the heart, and everyone looked at the holy decree on the table, and had mixed feelings for a while. Is it joy or sorrow? Is it joy or pain? Is it excitement or loss? Zhang Yan and his subordinates looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. Since the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao raised troops, countless Yellow Turban soldiers have fallen under the banner, for what? In exchange for this little decree? Everyone has fought bravely for four years, is this the end of the year?
Zhang Yan and his subordinates left Dalong Mountain and returned to Jinyang City. He told Li Hong that both he and the Yellow Turban Army had to think about it, and they had to think about the past and the future. He didn't take the decree, he didn't take the silver seal ribbon, they were still on the table, unmoved.
Li Hong stood on the hillside, looking at their gradually disappearing backs, his heart was heavy, he seemed to feel the pain and sorrow brought to them by this holy decree, and seemed to see the blood and tears in the hearts of Zhang Yan and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.
"My lord, you're so anxious that you've forced them to the point where they don't even have time to catch their breath." Li Wei walked behind him lightly and sighed, "It will take time to heal the hatred and scars of the past few years, after all, what they have lost is countless bloody lives, and it is the belief that supports their survival." β
Li Hong smiled lonely and shook his head.
"Zhong Yuan, am I too stingy?"
"Adults are not stingy, adults are too cruel." Li Wei said slowly, "The adult is like a sharp knife, without emotion, slashing at the blood and flesh of the Yellow Turban Army one by one. β
Li Hong's heart trembled unconsciously.
"For so many days, I only have one feeling when I stay with these Yellow Turban Army leaders every day." Li Wei glanced at Li Hong, who had a painful look, and whispered, "They are like ants, just like ants on the ground......"
Li Wei couldn't say any more, turned around and left.
οΌοΌοΌ
In the twilight, Yan Liang and Zheng Xin shouted loudly, and rushed into the camp tent of Dalongshan with their horses.
"Zhong Yuan, what are you urging us to do in a hurry?" When Zheng Xin saw Li Wei, he hurriedly flew off his horse and asked loudly.
Li Wei pointed to Li Hong standing on the hillside and shook his head.
Zhang Baiqi saw that Zhang Yan had not mentioned Yang Feng's matter to Li Hong for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say it himself. That day, Li Hong invited him to take a walk with him, and Zhang Baiqi told Li Hong about Yang Feng.
Li Hong was very hesitant, he hadn't thought about it, but he was really careful about Zhang Yan's thoughts. Zhang Baiqi said that Zhang Yan and Yang Feng have been brothers in life and death since childhood, and the conflict between the two is not Zhang Yan's problem, but Yang Feng's problem.
"If the adults can convince Yang Feng, the handsome man must be very grateful in his heart, and he will never misunderstand you."
Li Hong thought for a moment and asked, "If the marshal is cared for, will the Yellow Turban Army in other places obey Yang Feng as the new commander of the Yellow Turban Army?" β
Zhang Baiqi smiled: "What do you think? Then you are wrong. Since the death of Brother Pin Pu, the Yellow Turban Army has actually no longer had a big handsome. If Feiyan had the prestige of Brother Pinpu, why did we take this step today? β
Yan Liang and Zheng Xin walked up to Li Hong and bowed.
"My lord, are you in a hurry to come to us?"
Li Hong nodded and said, "You go to the party and tell Yang Feng that I want to see him." β
Zheng Xin hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, is this time appropriate?" β
Li Hong stretched out his hand and patted Yan Liang's shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "If he doesn't want to, you can bring his head." β
