Xian Yufu nodded sympathetically, and then asked, "What did you originally want to say to Lord Taiwei?" ”

"I originally wanted to say: the rebels in Xiliang have been wiped out, and our troops have also been defeated, but there are still hundreds of thousands of Qianghu and Xianbei people around Xiliang, what if they invade? Who will exterminate it? But when I saw Lord Sima's eyes, I suddenly remembered Master Sima's advice, and immediately swallowed the words back. ”

The arrogant look on Tao Qian's face disappeared.

He said loudly: "People, you and the Emperor Fu said exactly the same thing, and sure enough, the heroes see the same. There are still rumors in this world that you are an idiot. ”

Then he sighed and said, "The thoughts of the people are almost the same as those of the Emperor, but you have all seen the fate of the Emperor. Because of his delay without a fight, he was condemned by His Majesty and dismissed from office and went home. ”

Li Hong asked strangely, "Oh? It is said that Lord Huangfu was convicted, and it was the result of eunuch slander, is there another hidden story? ”

Tao Qian nodded and said slowly: "Your Majesty hopes that General Huangfu will pacify the Xiliang rebels as soon as possible, just like pacifying the Yellow Turban Army, it will take a few months." But General Huangfu didn't think so, he thought it was simply impossible. Therefore, he continued to write and explain to His Majesty in detail that the problem of the rebels in Xiliang was different from the problem of the Yellow Turban traitors in the Central Plains, and there was a big difference between the two, and different solutions must be used. ”

General Huangfu believed that to solve the Xiliang problem, we must first take into account the population problem of Xiliang, the tax policy of Xiliang, the corruption of officials in Xiliang, the invasion of Qianghu around Xiliang and the settlement of Qianghu, as well as the security of the border. General Huangfu is a native of Anding County, Xiliang, and has also served as the Taishou of Beidi County, so His Majesty thinks that General Huangfu sympathizes with the rebels and deliberately delays time. His Majesty was very angry. So he took advantage of the false accusations of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and took advantage of the situation to collect the seal ribbon of General Huangfu's left chariot cavalry, cut 6,000 households, and went home from his post. ”

"General Huangfu is a lesson from the past, how can Lord Taiwei dare to disobey the holy will again? So he had to do his best to annihilate the rebels first. Only by exterminating the rebels and killing Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu can Lord Taiwei keep his career and future glory and wealth. Otherwise, the future is uncertain. ”

"But, what about Xiliang? What to do with Qianghu? Will the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiliang be left to fend for themselves? Li Hong asked loudly.

Tao Qian smiled coldly and said mockingly: "That's the matter of the imperial court, it's Your Majesty's business, and it has nothing to do with Lord Taiwei." As for Xiliang......" Tao Qian sighed and threw his sleeves away.

Li Honghe Xian Yufu looked at his back and were speechless. He didn't say hello and walked away. Angry?

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Bian Zhang stood outside the martial arts city, looking up at the black daxu on the tower of the city gate, his eyes were blank. The huge Chinese characters on the Daxu loom with the fluttering of the flag, as if to mock all those who look up to it, I am heaven and earth, even if I am trampled under your feet, I am also the god you worship in your hearts.

Bian Zhang is in his forties, tall and thin, with a dark and yellow complexion, high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, pale temples, and only a pair of eyes, which are bright. He is a native of Jincheng County and has been the Jin Cao Peng history of the county government. Because he was dissatisfied with the corruption of Taishou and his colleagues, he wrote to the Assassin Mansion several times, accusing the county officials of corruption and bending the law, but he was betrayed by the officials of the Assassin's Mansion who were in the same stream, and was immediately framed and imprisoned by his colleagues, tortured, and died. Later, he encountered amnesty and was lucky to pick up a life.

After Bian Zhang returned home, because of his fame, he was cited as a hero by the horse bandits in Xiliang, and various gangs befriended him. After a long time, Bian Zhang's friends are all over Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, and Wuwei, and the bandits have any grievances and hatreds, and the people have any grievances, and they are willing to ask him for help. More than ten years later, he turned out to be the head of the famous bandits in Xiliang, although he did not participate in a case and killed a person, but he was a veritable big leader, and even the court knew that Xiliang had an old side, and he was the most famous bandit in Xijiang.

Bian Zhang never admitted that he was a bandit. He is an innocent man who never does anything bad. The people he let kill are corrupt officials, what he makes people rob are the people's hard-earned money, what he does is righteous, he does the right thing for heaven, what did he do wrong?

His best brother Han Sui said that Lao Bian is the best person in the world, the sky in the hearts of the poor people in Xiliang, and his heart is as beautiful as the Great Snow Mountain.

But he really didn't want to rebel.

Beigong Boyu is his brother, and Li Wenhou is also his brother. In order to force Bian Zhang to rebel, these two and Zhang Heng and several horse bandit leaders actually kidnapped Bian Zhang and Han Sui's entire family, and even Han Sui's eighty-year-old grandmother was taken captive. In a word, is it not the opposite? On the contrary, everyone is a brother, not against, everyone is an enemy.

Bian Zhang was reluctant to be a traitor, so he resolutely refused. But Han Sui said a word, which made Bian Zhang have to rebel.

Han Sui said: "We are not against the Han Dynasty, we are not against the emperor, we still hold the banner of the Han Dynasty in our hands." We are against the corrupt officials in Xiliang, and against the traitors around the emperor. Only when it is the other way around, can Xiliang have a bright future, and the people can see the hope of living a good life. ”

The side chapter is reversed.

The desolate sound of the flute pulls Bian Zhang's thoughts back to reality. It was Han Sui playing the flute.

Han Sui stood beside him, holding the black flute and playing it leisurely.

Han Sui is also a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou, born in a family of county officials, and has been talented and uninhibited since he was a child. Later, he worshiped under the famous general Zhang Huan and Zhang Ranmin in Xiliang, and served with him for many years. When Zhang Huan was too often, he recruited Han Sui into Beijing to help him repair his books. At that time, Han Sui was famous for his peerless talent. Han Sui hated the corruption of the Han Dynasty, and never went to work, but only studied in Jincheng and taught apprentices, so he was very famous in Xiliang.

Over the years, because the officials of Xiliang bullied the weak and expropriated violently, the people were extremely angry, the people were full of complaints, and the border army had no intention of fighting the border, which led to the Qianghu taking the opportunity to invade, burning, killing, plundering, and ruining the lives of the people. Han Sui was both civil and military, and when he saw that the innocent people were humiliated and the land of the Han Dynasty was trampled on, he threw his pen into anger and organized the rebel army to launch a counterattack, and won successive battles. Han Sui immediately became famous in the west, and his prestige in Xiliang was unparalleled. A few years ago, Zhang Wanxian died, Han Sui went to Beijing to worship, and the general He Jin heard that Han Sui came to Beijing, and specially invited him to meet and ask for advice on state affairs. Han Sui offered advice that if he wanted to revive the dynasty, he would inevitably kill the eunuchs. Of course, He Jin couldn't accept it and let him go.

"Wenyue (Han Sui's character), can we enter martial arts?" Bian Zhang turned around and asked softly.

The sound of the flute stopped slowly.

Han Sui is in his forties, dressed in plain clothes, handsome, athletic, and looks gentle and elegant.

He smiled slightly and said softly: "Old Bian, we are singing all the way, are we running too fast." He pointed to Wugong City and continued thoughtfully, "Huangfuhong and Xu Rong took the initiative to give up Chen Cang a few days ago, and today they fled from Wugong ......."

He looked back at Bian Zhang and asked, "Old Bian, do you think it's normal?" ”

"One is the son of Huangfu Song, and the other is the lieutenant of Hanyang County, both of whom are brave and good at fighting, and it is indeed abnormal to flee in such a hurry." Bian Zhang said with a smile, "Last year, they fought with us many times, and when did we see them fling away after a few shots. ”

Han Sui gently stroked the transverse flute in his hand and said with a faint smile: "After Zhou Shen made a little contact with us, he immediately gave up the two cities of Yongqiu and Yiguo, and retreated without a fight. Now Huang Fuhong and Xu Rong are also like this, it can be seen that they want to deceive and lure the enemy. He looked up at Bian Zhang, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Where did they surround us?" Do they have two or three hundred thousand troops? ”

Bian Zhang shook his head and said, "It's hard for our scouts to get close to Huaili, and there is no accurate news. But now the situation is clear, Zhang Wen is looking for an opportunity to fight us. You see, Zhou Shen, Huangfu Song, and Xu Rong have all retreated to Xiaohuaili, and Dong Zhuo has also given up on Du Yang and is rapidly retreating in the direction of Meiyang. Zhang Wen's three troops were all concentrated in Huaili City, and their intentions were self-evident. ”

Han Sui laughed, "Lord Taiwei is in a hurry. Old Bian, where do you think Zhang Wen will put the battlefield? ”

"It's possible to be in Changpingguan." Bian Zhang said: "Changping Pass is fifty miles away from Chang'an, if we fight for a long time, they have a very strong advantage in supply, and we are very passive. Once they cut off our food routes, we are in danger. There is another place that is Huaili. But if Zhang Wen puts the battlefield in Huaili, he must have enough men and horses to ensure that he can quickly solve us, otherwise when the thunderous iron cavalry army in June comes, they will be completely finished. ”

"What if the leopard from Jizhou comes?" Han Sui frowned, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "It is impossible for Zhang Wen to put the battlefield in Huaili. Even if the leopard comes, it is only tens of thousands of people, plus all of Zhang Wen's people, the number of people is on a par with us, and there is no possibility of destroying us. ”

"Unless we walk into their encirclement first." Bian Zhang smiled, "It's still possible to eat one by one." ”

Han Sui laughed, "When we're idiots? Lao Bian, we won't enter Wugong City, according to the old plan, we will go to Meiyang and join General Beigong's troops. If we run fast, we can block Dong Fatzi and kill him. ”
