September of the third year of Zhongping of the Great Han Dynasty (186 AD).

Pound is very young, tall and broad, with a big face with angular cheekbones and towering cheekbones, a pair of calm and calm eyes, heroic and resolute, bold and rough, and slightly immature in his demeanor. Under the guidance of Zhang He, he strode into the big tent in the army. Xian Yufu greeted him, and after greeting each other, he asked, "A huge number of people have come from afar, do you have anything important to do with me?" ”

Pang De whispered: "Xia Guan has come to ask to see Master Li. ”

Xian Yufu was shocked, but the smile on his face was still there, and he said loudly: "Lord Li is discussing with the rebels in Jincheng about appeasement, don't you know?" Master Li estimates that it will take some time to return. If the huge people must see him, they can only wait for the adults to return from Jincheng. ”

Pang De's demeanor was solemn, and he said softly: "Lord Li has already crossed the Yellow River and quietly returned from the Kwaishan path, why should my lord hide it." ”

Xian Yufu was shocked, and the smile on his face became even kinder, "The huge man is telling a joke." ”

Pound took a step back, bowed again, and said earnestly: "The lower official does want to see your lordship. The adults returned from Jincheng, and they were escorted by Teacher Fan, a hermit in Xiliang, along the way. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask Master Li for verification. ”

Xian Yufu groaned slightly, and then looked at Zhang He. Zhang He hurriedly withdrew from the big tent.

Xian Yufu asked Pang De to sit down while asking with a smile: "This Xiliang hermit, where do I seem to have heard of it?" ”

Pound had just sat down, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up again, bowed down and saluted, "Your Excellency, ......"

Xian Yufu stretched out his hand to grab him, and said with a smile: "Huge people don't need to be polite, sit and talk, sit and talk." I remember that he was very famous in Xiliang, and he once went to Xiqiang with General Duan, right? ”

"Yes, he is a peerless master in the hearts of the Xiliang warriors, and his status is respected. Twenty years ago, in the eighth year of the first emperor Yanxi (166), General Duan Cheng Duan led his troops to conquer the Dangfang tribe of the Qiang people in Huangzhong, and accidentally fell into an ambush of the Qiang people and was surrounded. At that time, the two masters of Xiliang, Mr. Fan Zhi and Mr. Zhang Ce, accompanied the general. The two were ordered by the general to enter the Qiang camp at night, and calmly killed the Qiang people in the tens of thousands of troops to serve as the three major commanders of the tribe. The Qiang people lost their leader, and then there was chaos, and General Duan took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack at night, breaking the Qiang Hu and beheading thousands. After this battle, the two teachers became famous all over the world. ”

At this time, Li Hong opened the curtain and walked in, he said with a smile: "Then thank you Lao Nie, for inviting such a peerless master to send me back." Then he arched his hand towards Pound, "I neglected the huge person just now, please forgive me." ”

Pound looked at him in amazement.

"This is Li Zhonglang and Master Li." Xian Yufu smiled and introduced, "Isn't it too young?" ”

Pang De was startled, and hurriedly got up and bowed down, "Cao Pang De, a thief under the gate of Xiaguan Longxi County, has seen my lord. ”

Li Hong hurriedly took two steps, grabbed his hands, and said with a smile: "The huge man is also very young." ”

Pang De's face turned red, and he said very embarrassedly: "Xia Guan was rude just now, rude." ”

Li Hong waved his hand indifferently and asked, "How old are you this year?" Serving in the county government at such a young age? ”

Pound's face turned even redder, and he whispered, "Xiaguan just turned seventeen this year. Lord Ma, the southern governor, and my family are world friends, and this time he recommended him to be the head of the guards for Lord Taishou Li. It has not been a few days since the lower official served in the county government, and I hope that the adults will bear with me if they are rude. ”

Li Hong and Xian Yufu glanced at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.

"To be the head of the guards? Door thief Cao? Li Hong smiled and asked, "Then your martial arts must be very high?" ”

Pound smiled, looking very confident.

"Huge man, how did you know I was back? Who told you that? You have to be clear. Li Hong patted him affectionately and said with a smile, "If you can't tell, I'm afraid you have to kill to save your life." ”

Pang De laughed at Li Hong's words, and he asked, "My lord, who is that old Nie you just mentioned?" ”

"It's Nie Xiao, he's the little Qu Shuai of Sister Le's tribe."

Pang De suddenly smiled and said: "Where is he qualified to invite Teacher Fan to come out, this is all arranged by Teacher Bian." ”

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lao Nie dares to betray me?" ”

"Nie Xiao doesn't know about this." Pound laughed, "Don't misunderstand him, my lord. The head of the Wubao family where you live is surnamed Yan, and he is a friend of Teacher Bian. Teacher Bian heard that the adult's subordinates had secretly rushed to Yungo, and it was estimated that the adult was leaving, so he specially invited Teacher Fan and his disciples to escort the adult to ensure the safety of the adult. ”

"Let Mr. Bian bother." Li Hong said gratefully, "No wonder when Lao Nie introduced Senior Fan to me that day, his expression was a little wrong. He glanced at Pang De and said with a smile, "You are a disciple of Senior Fan?" ”

"Yes." Pound said with a slight smile, "I came immediately after receiving the teacher's news in Luoyang. ”

Li Hong came to his senses, and he asked happily, "You are also a disciple of Mr. Bian?" Mr. Bian is asking you to bring things to me? ”

Pang De smiled: "Exactly, I was entrusted by the teacher to secretly bring things to Luoyang." ”

"Great." Li Hong bowed down and thanked him, "Thank you so much." When I went back, I told Mr. Bian that I would never break my promise and would fulfill his wish. ”

Pang De bowed down and said, "The lower official must bring it." ”

Li Hong turned around and waved his hand to Zhang He and said, "Jun Yi, immediately send an order to the Evergrande people, gather four thousand iron horsemen, and go to Luoyang with the huge people." ”

Liu Yu slowly put down the secret music in his hand, looked at the gloomy face of the Son of Heaven, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Li Zhonglang's performance, although the facts are conclusive, but the involvement is too big, it is better to be cautious." ”

The Son of Heaven sneered and said, "I have my own measure. I called you here to ask you, what is the evidence sent by Li Zhonglang? Why don't you give it to me? ”

Liu Yu was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister just received it, and he hasn't looked at it carefully, so ......"

"Get it right away." The Son of Heaven said in a stern tone, "Don't be smart, do you think Li Zhonglang is an idiot?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Liu Yu was a little scared, but he still mustered up his courage and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please think twice." If you catch it according to this list, Luoyang will be in chaos. Now the Northern Army is on an expedition abroad......"

"Yes." The Son of Heaven opened his small eyes, raised his short eyebrows, and said loudly, "Aiqing is right. Immediately issued an order and ordered the northern army to rush back to Luoyang day and night. ”

Liu Yu rolled his eyes, and regretted that he was talking too much. Not only did his advice fail, but he reminded the Son of Heaven and transferred the army back. This Li Hong, even if he poked the basket in Xiliang, he also encouraged His Majesty to engage in some kind of anti-corruption in Luoyang, which is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose. This kid is getting worse and worse now, and he even defends himself. This idiot, what channel did he find to send news to His Majesty?

Liu Yu was thinking nonsense here, and the Son of Heaven spoke again.

"Let Zhijin Wu Zhenju come back with the Northern Army, and remember to ask him to bring back the confiscated money and silk to me."

Liu Yu hurriedly agreed, and then admonished again: "Your Majesty, this matter will affect the whole body......"

The Son of Heaven waved at him, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. Liu Yu looked at him in horror.

"Don't worry, I don't kill. What do you do by killing people? It didn't do me any good. If there is no one in the court, who shall I talk to? Who to ask for money? I just took the opportunity to scrape their oil. Yesterday, the Great Si Nong King cried to me in the court, saying that there was no money in the treasury. The Son of Heaven picked up Li Hong's secret music, shook it, and said, "Isn't this just money?" I'm in Luoyang, in the Kanto region, it shouldn't be a problem to scrape 10 billion dollars, right? ”

Liu Yu opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Aiqing doesn't believe it?" The Son of Heaven smiled weirdly and said, "Li Zhonglang is in a poor place like Xiliang, and he can copy more than a billion dollars at will, but I can't copy 10 billion yuan in a rich place like Luoyang?" ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly.

"You don't want to be a scholar anymore." The Son of Heaven carefully folded Li Hong's secret music, looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You have been working hard recently, you have done a lot of things for me, and you have recommended me to a pillar of the country, so I will promote you to Guangluxun." ”

Guangluxun was in charge of the security affairs of the palace, but its actual power was much more than that. The emperor's think tank team was concentrated here, and at the same time, it was also a place where alternate officials were trained intensively. Guangluxun has 2,000 stones in his rank, with a silver seal and a blue ribbon, and he is ranked in Jiuqing, and he is a very big official.

Liu Yu first heard the Son of Heaven say that he had dismissed his official position, he was very depressed, and felt sorry for himself, and suddenly heard that the Son of Heaven had named him Guangluxun, and he was immediately ecstatic, and happily lay on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, shouting "Long live ......" more than once.

"Get up, get up." The Son of Heaven beckoned and said to Liu Yu, "Don't leak this matter, otherwise these people will transfer the money, and I won't be able to steal the money." You know, it's been a long time since I've done anything so exciting, so don't let me go. ”

Since the army of the Western Expedition and the army of Western Liangbenzhou entered Liangzhou successively, in order to facilitate management and coordination, Zhang Wen ordered that the grain and grass of the army entering Liangzhou should be uniformly allocated by the Liangzhou Thorn History Department. It was precisely because of this right that Geng Cong easily withheld the food of 50,000 captives for various reasons.

"Lord Geng said, those captives, especially the Qiang people, it would be good if they didn't kill them, and they would be given two meals a day, what would they do with them? He said that these people should not have been spared in the first place, and that they should all be killed. Xian Yufu said angrily, "I have to say it so badly, he promised to give each person one liter of rations a day." What to eat for a liter of rations? It's not bad if you don't starve to death. ”

Koji Yi smiled angrily and said, "Is there anything about Geng Contempt's corruption in the evidence collected by Lao Bian?" If there is, we'll arrest him first. ”

Li Hong smiled: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, there is still a way." He turned his head to look at Zuo Yan and asked, "Is there any evidence about Geng Yan?" ”

"Nope." Zuo Yan said, "Geng Cong only took office last fall, and Lao Bian had already rebelled at that time, how did he collect evidence of Geng Cong's corruption?" Don't be delusional, think of something else. ”

"A big manhunt is about to begin, but there is such a thing." Tian Zhong grabbed his little goatee and said, "We didn't pay attention to this problem a few days ago, we took their lies seriously, and thought that there was really no food in the warehouse in Liangzhou, and as a result, all the surplus grain in the camp was used up. I didn't expect these people to be so bold that they even dared to withhold our military rations. Wild. ”

"Has the Taiwei Mansion gone?" Li Hong asked.

"Someone has been sent, and a few letters have already been delivered." Xian Yufu replied, "Lord Taiwei replied that there is indeed a problem with food, and asked us to find a way to solve it by ourselves." ”

"What about the food Your Majesty promised us?" Li Hong frowned and asked, "According to the time, it should also be here." ”

"It is estimated that it has been detained by the Taiwei Mansion." Koji said hatefully, "Now that the world is in turmoil, even His Majesty's holy decree has been openly disobeyed. ”

There was silence in the tent.

"Guoan, what's going on over there in the prisoner camp?" Li Hong asked Wei Zhengdao, "Do the captives know about this?" ”

"The prisoner camp is peaceful." Wei Zheng replied, "Although I eat two meals a day now, I can still manage my fill, and there will be nothing to do for the time being." Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou looked for us a few times, but we prevaricated. At the moment they do not know about the lack of food in the army. ”

"My lord, since they dare to detain grain against the order, we will go and rob his grain depot, what do you think?" Koji Yi suddenly stood up and leaned into Li Hong's ear and said.

"No." Xian Yufu immediately stopped, "General Dong's army and Captain Huangfu's army are both stationed outside Longxian County, and if we go to grab grain so blatantly, we will definitely clash with them." ”

"I really can't do it, I have to rob it." Tian Zhong said, "According to the current grain stock in the camp, 100,000 people can only eat two meals a day, and they can only last for four or five days. Do you force the captives to rebel? ”

Li Hong thought for a long time and said, "Yu Xing, you take His Majesty's edict and go to the Taiwei Mansion in person, explain the situation to Lord Taiwei, and beg him to give him a little food first to deal with the emergency." No matter how difficult it is, we have to support the news from Jincheng. As long as the rebels agree to be appeased, we have no worries and can let it go. ”

"If the food arrives in Longxian, Geng still won't give it?" Koji asked, "My lord, in a few days, if we don't rob it, we will be hungry." ”

Li Hong was at a loss.

＝

In the evening, Li Hong left a few people to eat. Koji complained that the food was too bad. Tian Zhong made fun of him, saying that he was a child of the scholar clan and was used to enjoying it, so he should sit at a table alone and serve him a few dishes alone, and the scholars could not eat at the same table. Koji Yi was embarrassed to him, but he saw that there were only two simple side dishes on the table, and he couldn't eat.

Li Hong said with a smile: "Yuntian, if the matter of Xiliang is over, we will go back to Jizhou." Before leaving, you have to go to Chang'an to invite us to dinner. You said it yourself. ”

Koji Yi said: "Don't worry, my lord, of course I promised you, of course I will fulfill it." When the time comes, I will definitely invite you to the best restaurant in Chang'an, have a good drink, eat a good time, and have a painful time. ”

Zuo Yan asked, "Your family's family is very wealthy, right?" ”

Koji Yi smiled modestly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, although our family has a lot of money, it's all left by our ancestors." My mother liked me very much and doted on me, so I spent money since I was a child and was a loser. However, my two brothers will earn money, and they have settled a lot of family property in the past few years. Now my mother lives in Chang'an with them. ”

Xian Yufu hurriedly asked, "Then the last time you went back to Chang'an, did you go home to visit your old mother?" ”

Koji Yi blushed, looked at Wei Zheng a little embarrassed, and asked, "This is not a violation of military discipline, right?" ”

Li Hong, Tian Zhong and Zuo Yan laughed. Xian Yufu consciously lost his words and looked at Koji Yi apologetically. Wei Zheng looked at him very seriously and said, "Even if you violate military discipline, you should go home to see your mother." Let's not take this as an example. ”

Li Hong said with a smile: "Okay, we finally grasped the handle of national security, it turns out that the assassin also has times when he bends the law for personal gain." ”

Koji Yi glared at Li Hong dissatisfied, and said, "I spent money in Chang'an to invite you to dinner, you must give me some benefits." ”

A few people were talking and laughing here, and Zhang He hurriedly walked in.

"Junyi, let's eat together." Li Hong greeted.

"My lord, the Son of Heaven has an edict to send to the camp."

"Your Majesty has replied." Li Hong said happily, "Brother Yu Xing, you go to the big tent to pick it up, I still don't show up for the time being." Junyi, sit down and eat. ”

Xian Yufu left in a hurry. Seeing Zhang He gobbling up a bowl quickly, Koji Yi asked strangely, "Do you want vegetables to eat?" ”

Zhang He looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you want vegetables for dinner?" ”

Tian Zhong couldn't help laughing, he shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Rich kids, ......"

It didn't take long, and Xian Yufu came back.

"What did Your Majesty say in the edict?" Li Hong asked.

Xian Yufu handed the edict to Li Hong and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has agreed to your request and is ready to act at the same time as us." He had already ordered the requisition of the northern army and immediately rushed back to Luoyang. ”

Hearing this, Koji Yi said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, has you suddenly woken up and wants to cleanse the flaws and filth, and come to a bloody slaughter of the city?" ”

Li Hong handed the edict in his hand to Lu Yi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to make 10 billion money in Luoyang, which is a huge number. Then he looked at Xian Yufu and continued, "Your Majesty's urgent transfer back to the Northern Army in the case of Xiliang is not peaceful, which will inevitably attract the attention of the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

"So what?" Koji Yi said: "They wouldn't have thought that His Majesty would draw their blood and skin them, right? ”

The people in the tent laughed easily.

"Your Majesty has so much money, will you reduce taxes a little and give the people a breather?" Tian Zhong asked with a smile.

Zuo Yan shook his head and sighed: "The people are even more miserable. ”

Koji Yi asked puzzledly, "Lord Sima, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Hong also asked, "Junyi, why do you say that?" ”

"We don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for us to do it." Zuo Yan said worriedly, "From the evidence provided by Lao Bian, we have sorted out and confirmed hundreds of corrupt officials, large and small, who are inextricably linked with the traitors in the court, the bureaucrats of the world, and the powerful men and heroines. After the Son of Heaven investigates, these major forces will definitely be caught by His Majesty and reprimanded. As a result, their power is weakened, and they have to spend a lot of money to atone for their sins. When they are angry, how can they give up? You know, the officials of the local states and counties are now the sons of the clans of various forces, protégés and former officials, and these people will impose their losses on the people when they turn around, and they will take the opportunity to increase the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes of various names, and impose extortions on the people, and strive to make up for their losses in the shortest possible time, so they ......"

The joy in everyone's hearts was suddenly lost by Zuo Yan's words, and everyone felt heavy and depressed.

Tian Zhong slapped the table vigorously and said loudly: "If you don't eradicate these traitors in the court, the people of the world will not have a good life." ”

"I want to have 100,000 male soldiers in hand, I will go into Luoyang, slaughter these villains who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and kill all these shameless people." Koji Yoshiki stood up abruptly and said angrily.

Xian Yufu hurriedly stopped: "Yuntian can't talk nonsense. ”

＝

Li Hong looked at Koji Yi who gritted his teeth with great interest, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said happily: "I have a way." ”

Everyone looked at him strangely. Tian Zhong asked, "The way to save the people of the world?" ”

"How can I do that?" Li Hong smiled, "I have a way to ask for food." Junyi, you go to the big tent and tell the knight who rode fast for 800 miles to wait for a while, I have a secret music for the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhang He hurriedly ran out.

Zuo Yan asked, "What good solution did the adults come up with?" ”

"As soon as the northern army leaves, there will be fewer troops stationed in Xiliang. Once Xiliang is pacified, we will also leave here, then the remaining army in Xiliang will only be General Dong's western border army, Yuntian's Jincheng border army, Zilie's county soldiers, and Ma Teng's thousands of Longxi border army, together there are only less than 50,000 horses, and the strength is quite weak. Li Hong said worriedly, "If Qianghu invades, these people will not be enough at all." ”

Lu Yi suddenly understood, he punched Li Hong hard, and said happily: "Now Zixiu Mountain has 50,000 captives, and most of them belong to the Qiang people, they are all strong people, if they are directly turned into Xiliang soldiers, then the number of Xiliang's army will suddenly double, and our strength will increase greatly......" He nodded again and again, looking salivating.

"Fifty thousand troops," Zuo Yan said, "My lord, now is no better than when we were in Jizhou this spring, when His Majesty wanted people to fight, and tens of thousands ......of Yellow Turban Army prisoners said that they would turn around." But now he doesn't need so many troops. The war in Xiliang is about to be settled, His Majesty is already ready to withdraw his troops, will he still promise to expand the army and recruit troops? ”

Li Hong said with a smile: "Let's make the situation more serious, and we are not afraid that Your Majesty will not agree." We turned these captives into soldiers, and the food was settled. They had reason to starve their captives, but they had absolutely no courage to starve their soldiers unless they didn't want to live. In addition, this group of soldiers is led by Yuntian, Zilie, and Ziwei, and they will be the main force guarding Western Xinjiang in the future, and the stability of Xiliang will also be guaranteed. ”

"My lord, write quickly, write a recital for Your Majesty." Koji urged excitedly.

"Fifty thousand troops?" Xian Yufu said with a smile, "People, is it possible that you ask Your Majesty for so many establishments?" Even if His Majesty agrees, will the ministers agree? The bureaucrats in the DPRK and China are now afraid that your army will grow more and more powerful, think about it......"

"I don't want to." Li Hong smiled, "How do you think about many things?" It's up to people to make things happen, it's up to heaven to make things happen, Junyi, hurry up and write ......"

Wei Zheng rarely spoke, but at this time, he suddenly said: "My lord, how to deal with Beigong Boyu and a group of big and small Qu Shuai?" ”

"We will ask Your Majesty for the **** holy decree now, so that they can go home immediately." Li Hong said nonchalantly.

＝

Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen, Zhi Jin Wu Zhen Ju, and Lieutenant Huang Fuhong successively received the holy decree of withdrawing the army.

Zhijin Wu Zhenju and Huangfuhong did not dare to delay, on the one hand, they sent people to the camp of Zixiu Mountain to get money, silk, silk and jewelry, and on the other hand, they set up camp and quickly went east.

Zhang Wen's decision to the Son of Heaven was very strange, he didn't understand what His Majesty meant. He summoned the people from the Taiwei Mansion to discuss for a long time, but he still didn't figure it out. The matter of Xiliang has not yet been finalized, and there may be changes, and at this time, His Majesty's hasty withdrawal of troops will definitely have an impact on the pacification of the rebels. Li Hong was stranded in Jincheng because of his injury, not because of negotiations. If Li Hong had an accident, he would send people west to Jincheng again to appease the rebels. Maintaining the number of troops will keep the pressure on the rebels.

Zhang Wen hurriedly wrote to dissuade His Majesty. After hearing the news, the ministers of the DPRK and China headed by Situ Choilie spared no expense and wrote to the court for advice. The Son of Heaven turned a deaf ear.

Zhao Zhong and a group of traitorous eunuchs were very happy. Now that the relationship between Zhang Wen and Li Hong is getting worse and worse, and the Northern Army is withdrawing, Zhang Wen has no strength in Xiliang, which is a big blow to the bureaucrats of the clan. Once Li Hong died in Jincheng, the traitors and Dong Zhuo's army could take advantage of it, and they could seize the opportunity to attack the forces of Zhang Wen and the bureaucrats of the clan.

Liu Yu was promoted to Guangluxun, one of the Nine Qings. This news made the eunuchs and the clan bureaucrats happy a little. Liu Yu is Li Hong's former master, and he is still a scholar, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, and many of Li Hong's secret recitals were handed over to His Majesty for the first time through Liu Yu's hands. Therefore, all the forces in the court have long wanted to kick Liu Yu off the position of Shangshu and take Liu Yu away from the emperor, and they have been trying to find a way. I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so reasonable, and promoted Liu Yu to fulfill their wishes.

One day, the little yellow door Jian Shuo was around the Son of Heaven, and the two chatted, and the Son of Heaven was happy, and casually boasted to Jian Shuo, saying that he was going to make a fortune immediately. Jian Shuo was very surprised, so he flattered the Son of Heaven fiercely, trying to trap his words. The Son of Heaven was so overjoyed by him that he accidentally revealed his mouth, saying that he had promised Li Hong to recruit troops and expand the army in Xiliang.

Jian Shuo was secretly frightened, and immediately sent someone to tell Zhao Zhong the news. Although the two of them have always had contradictions, at this time, for the common interests of the eunuchs, the two sides still have to unite and exchange news. Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang immediately summoned a group of traitors to discuss privately, and felt that there was a famous hall here. Li Hong couldn't afford to be seriously injured in Jincheng, how could there be a request to expand the army? Could it be that Li Hong has secretly returned to the Zixiu Mountain camp? Zhao Zhong was very worried, and immediately informed Song Dian and Dong Zhuo quickly.

＝

At this time, Li Hong had already received the holy decree and **** order from the Son of Heaven, allowing him to recruit rebel prisoners and immediately expand the army to prepare for the stability of Xiliang in the future.

Taiwei Zhang Wen also received the holy decree. Although Zhang Wen did not agree to expand the army, before the Son of Heaven changed his mind, food still had to be provided, otherwise it would be a rebellion.

Li Hong and the generals were overjoyed. Xian Yufu and Lu Yi immediately summoned the rebel leaders Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, explained to them in detail the will of the Son of Heaven, and took out a **** order, allowing them to leave with the big and small Qu Shuai of the Qiang tribes and some rebel officers. They were acquitted. What else can Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou say? The next day, they hurriedly left Zixiu Mountain with more than 1,000 people and returned to Jincheng County.

The 50,000 captives gradually calmed down after the initial fear and turmoil. They are all soldiers or bandits everywhere, compared to the best to be soldiers in the Han army camp, carefree, food and clothing, military pay while alive, and a pension for the dead family.

Li Hong then ordered Tian Zhong to issue the first month's full military salary, and the mood of the captives stabilized. Three days later, Li Hong ordered Xian Yufu and Koji Yi to reorganize the 50,000 prisoners, and transferred a large number of officers from the Xiliang army to enrich the reorganized army. Then, the army began training.

＝

After Song Dian and Dong Zhuo received the news from Zhao Zhong, they immediately explored the Zixiu Mountain camp, and they used various methods, and even Song Dian personally ran to the camp to search everywhere in the name of inspection, but they did not find any trace of Li Hong. After Song Dian and Dong Zhuo discussed, they couldn't figure out the mystery here. But Li Ru sensed the danger keenly, and he urged Dong Zhuo once again to let his younger brother Dong Min leave Guanzhong and go to Luoyang with a group of henchmen. Dong Zhuo did not dare to be negligent, and immediately sent someone to his hometown in Huaili to urge his family to leave Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Half a month later, Zhen Ju and Huang Fuhong rushed to the northern army camp in Luoyang with the northern army.

＝

Seo Young-jae Yoon-go finally reached an agreement with Han Sui on the issue of appeasement. Bian Zhang and Han Sui immediately wrote a letter of apology to the Son of Heaven. Nie Xiao crossed the Yellow River east overnight with a letter of apology, crossed the Kwai Yuan Gorge, and rushed to the camp of Zixiu Mountain. Li Hong immediately sent a letter to the Son of Heaven and sent Bian Zhang and Han Sui's apology form to Luoyang on an eight-hundred-mile fast ride.

When the Son of Heaven saw the letter of apology, he summoned Taichang Liu Yan, Guangluxun Liu Yu, and Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo overnight to discuss the matter of suppressing corruption and raiding the family. Guangluxun Liu Yu took the military talisman to the northern army camp to lead the army. Taichang Liu Yan, Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo was immediately ordered to rush to the Tingwei Mansion to preside over the suppression of corruption. Overnight, 137 officials were arrested in Luoyang. The next day, the arrest operation was expanded to Henan Province, Hedong Province, and Hongnong Province in the Kanto Sili region. Within seven days, 456 people were arrested. Kanto shocked.

At the same time, Li Hong started a new round of arrests in Xiliang, mainly in Guanzhong, with 10,000 iron horses. Within a few days, three hundred and twenty-seven people were arrested.

The Great Han Kingdom was plunged into terror.
