Li Hong nodded with a serious expression and said, "I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly figured out something. When we fight, we always shout for the sake of the Han Kingdom and the people of the Han Kingdom. Is it true that if the enemy is defeated and the enemy is killed, the Great Han Kingdom and the people of the Great Han Kingdom will be able to live a good life? No. Why not? Because we didn't do it like Lord Liu, or like Lord Fu, we always had the Great Han Kingdom and the people of the Great Han Kingdom in our hearts. Only when you have it in your heart and engrave it, then you will always think about it in your head. In this way, when you do anything, you will first think, is it beneficial for me to do this for the benefit of the Great Han Kingdom and the people of the Great Han Kingdom? ”

"Master Fu is a Beijing official, living comfortably in Luoyang, with brocade clothes and delicious food every day, why should he rush to Xiliang to fight. Is he really a madman? No, he thought that he could do a lot of things that would benefit the Great Han Kingdom and the people of the Great Han Kingdom when he went to the Xiliang Battlefield, so he didn't hesitate to ignore life and death. ”

"We must also be like Master Fu, resolutely and courageously do what we should do, even if we die, what does it matter? On the Jizhou battlefield, we should quickly eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. This can reduce the pressure on the imperial court, reduce the tax expenditure of the people of Jizhou, and allow our soldiers to return to northern Xinjiang to graze horses and cultivate the fields one day earlier. At the same time, to a certain extent, we can also be regarded as indirectly supporting the Xiliang battlefield. ”

"Once the war drags on until April, for the people of the four counties in the western part of Jizhou, it is not only a question of not being able to plough in spring, but also a question of whether there is hope. More people have no fields, no seeds, no hope of survival, and all that remains is despair. They are all desperate, what else can they do? Join the Yellow Turban Army, and take the risk to join the Yellow Turban Army again. Go with the Yellow Turban Army to rob, kill, and maybe have a way to live. At that time, joining the Yellow Turban Army was the only hope that he could continue to survive. ”

Everyone was silent, thinking about Li Hong's words. Indeed, the early elimination of the Yellow Turban Army is indeed a top priority.

"The Jizhou Pastoral Mansion and the Julu County Government have sent people to send documents three times and twice, talking about this problem. They wanted me to lead my troops north as soon as possible, and they even asked me to drive the Yellow Turban Army to Taihang Mountain. ”

"April, there are so many things before April. The yamen of the county governments in various localities must be rebuilt, the officials should be equipped with history, the displaced people should be resettled, the fields should be measured, the seeds should be discharged, and the cattle and farm tools should be rented...... Wait, all of this work has to be done by April. If these jobs are not done well, the displaced people will not be able to stabilize themselves, and they will run. When they run around, people's hearts will be in chaos, and people's hearts will be in chaos, who will settle down to farm and cultivate the land? If you don't plant in the spring, you won't have a harvest this year, so what will you do this year? ”

"That Julu County's Chen Changshi is almost a book a day. Although I don't like this person very much, his heart for the public and the people is still only expressible. He hopes that the people of Jizhou will be able to eat this year, and for this reason, we should send troops. ”

Li Hong looked at everyone and asked again, "What do you think?" ”

"What if the adults and the troops of the Yellow Turban Army continue to stalemate in Zhending City?" She Yingtong asked.

"As soon as the people of Zhao Guoxiang and the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived, Brother Yu Xing immediately rushed to Changshan with other troops to support us." Li Hong replied, "When I arrive in Changshan, I will ask Zhang Chun, the minister of Zhongshan, to send troops to help." ”

"What if we withdraw and Yang Feng's Yellow Turban Army attacks Zhao again?" She Yingtong asked.

Li Hong was speechless.

Zhao Yun hurriedly ran in and said loudly, "My lord, there is a holy decree from the imperial court. ”

Li Hong asked in surprise, "Holy decree?" From the capital? ”

"Exactly. The Imperial Envoy is the little yellow gate in the palace (小黄门, rank 600 stones. Serving the left and right, receiving the Shang Shu Shi), Zuo Feng Zuo Lord. Zhao Yun replied loudly.

Xian Yufu immediately stood up with a nervous expression. He said to Zhao Yun, "Hurry up." ”

Li Hong looked at Xian Yufu and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Xing, what are you nervous about?" Isn't it just a eunuch in the palace who came to deliver the holy decree, just send someone to pick it up. ”

Xian Yufu said a little anxiously: "This person can't be provoked." He came to ask for money, and if there is less money, it will not work. ”

Li Hong smiled: "A eunuch who has been castrated, what does he want a lot of money for?" Just give him just two. Zilong, go and call Uncle Tian and ask him, there is any money left in the army. ”

Jade Shi said on the side: "My lord, generally these eunuchs in the palace come down to deliver the holy decree, and they can't be sent away without a million dollars." ”

"What did you say?" Li Hong's eyes widened and asked, "How much do you say?" Millions of dollars? ”

"This person can't be sent away without millions." Xian Yufu said with a wry smile.

"Oh?" Li Hong asked in surprise, "Why?" Why bribe him with millions of dollars? Could he be Zhang Rang, the regular servant of Zhongchang, or Zhao Zhong's henchman of Da Changqiu? ”

"It's not clear. However, on the battlefield of Guangzong the year before last, because Zhonglang General Lu Zhi did not bribe him, he sued him in front of the Son of Heaven, saying that Lu Zhonglang built a fortress without fighting and sympathized with the Yellow Turban Army, but Lu Zhonglang was escorted back to the capital by the Son of Heaven in a prisoner car and almost died unjustly in prison. Xian Yufu explained, "This kind of person stays by the emperor's side every day, the emperor believes in them, we can't afford to offend, let's prepare some money to eliminate the disaster." ”

"Is that him?" A trace of murderous aura flashed on Li Hong's face, and he actually laughed, "Okay, it's good." Zilong, where is he now? ”

"It is estimated that Yan Junhou has already welcomed him into the city and is coming to the mansion." Zhao Yun replied.

"Okay, Brother Yu Xing, from righteousness, let's go pick it up. A few of you avoid it, so that you don't get angry in vain. Li Hong smiled and said to Heng Xi, Lou Lu, and Yingtong, "Being angry with this kind of villain is more unlucky than being bitten by a wild dog." In addition, go back and inform the brethren that tomorrow we will go north to the country of Changshan and tell you to get ready. ”

The three of them agreed and bowed to say goodbye.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Zuo Feng was about forty years old, with a white face and beard, handsome appearance, and elegant manners, and he did not look like a greedy and cunning sinister man. He saw a group of people in front of him hurrying over, and knew that they were here to pick him up, so he hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him with a smile on his face.

He saw Li Hong first. The young Li Hong did not look like a commander who led the troops to fight at all, but more like an attendant standing behind the commander. Zuo Feng glanced at him, thinking that he was a reckless attendant, ignored him, and walked straight forward. Li Hong didn't look at himself when he saw him, he felt funny in his heart, and he didn't say anything, so he dodged and let go.

Zuo Feng saw Xian Yufu, who was handsome and had three locks of long beard, and immediately greeted him loudly: "Li Zhonglang ......"

Xian Yufu hurriedly took two steps, bowed down and said: "My lord, the next official is Youzhou Mansion Gong Cao engaged in Xian Yufu, and the Zhonglang General is standing behind you." ”

Zuo Feng looked embarrassed, and stopped halfway through his bowing posture, and a look of annoyance swept across his face in an instant.

Li Hong had a playful smile on his face, slowly walked two steps, faced Zuo Feng, and said lightly: "My lord has worked hard all the way. This official line is leveled and captured by Li Hong. ”

Zuo Feng immediately burst out laughing, trying his best to hide the embarrassment and unhappiness on his face, and he said loudly while returning the salute: "Xia Guan didn't expect Li Zhonglang to be so young and promising, and he was rude. ”

Li Hong also smiled: "The simple clothes make adults laugh." ”

Zuo Feng glanced at him strangely, and said loudly: "The adult's clothes are a little old, but they show the heroism of the adult, and they are very good." Just now, Xia Guan just didn't expect the adult to be so young, so he was rude, and he didn't mean anything else. ”

Li Hong smiled: "I see, I thought that adults have always judged a person's official size and appearance from their clothing and appearance?" ”

Xian Yufu glanced at Li Hong worriedly, and felt that the tone of his speech was a little wrong, as if he intended to provoke, and every sentence was tingling.

Sure enough, Zuo Feng's smile slowly stiffened.

Li Zhonglang laughed. However, it was the first time that the dignified Han Guozhong Lang general, dressed like Li Zhonglang, was seen by the lower officials. Li Zhonglang has won many battles, and the loot must be very large, and he is probably quite rich in total. Adults still wear clothes like this, haha...... Probably afraid of revealing wealth, right? ”

Li Hong was about to refute, but Xian Yufu immediately interjected: "My lord, the weather is cold, it is better to ask Lord Zuo to go to the mansion to rest quickly." ”

Li Hong smiled and stretched out his hand to invite, with a hint of mockery in his smile. Zuo Feng looked at Li Hong carefully, and a hint of a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xian Yufu saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly became uneasy.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The group soon walked into the Zhao State Mansion.

"My lord, Lord Shangshu Ling Liu and Lord Yilang Fu just arrived in Handan yesterday to announce the decree, and today Lord Zuo came to announce the decree again, is there any urgency in the imperial court?" Xian Yufu followed behind Zuo Feng, accompanied by a smiling face, and asked flatteringly.

Zuo Feng glanced at Xian Yufu and felt that he looked much more pleasing to the eye than Li Hong, so he walked towards the lobby with everyone and said casually: "I met with two adults on the way. The situation in Xiliang is getting worse and worse, and this holy decree is to recruit you to the battlefield in Liangzhou. ”

Li Hong, who was walking next to Zuo Feng, was taken aback, and his expression immediately became nervous.

Xian Yufu was also taken aback, and asked loudly, "When?" ”

Zuo Feng smiled slightly: "What's the hurry, the official will announce the decree immediately, and you will know it right away." ”

Xian Yufu didn't continue to ask, and said with a smile: "My lord has a hard journey, ...... tonight."

"I'll leave as soon as I'm done." Zuo Feng waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "No one wanted to come on this trip, it was personally assigned by His Majesty, and I had no choice but to come hard." ”

Xian Yufu knew what he meant. Now that the Yellow Turban Army of Zhao State has just been pacified, the situation is unstable, and everywhere is full of dangers, so no one in Beijing is willing to run to Zhao State to send the holy decree. Zuo Feng said this, and the implication was very clear: I risked my life to rush here to give you the holy decree, and the hard work is not less.
