Liu Yu, the prime minister of Ganling, took 3,000 soldiers and walked into the city of gall pottery on the snow.

Julu County Magistrate Shi Chen Li, Gong Cao Shi was frustrated, and Guo Yu personally welcomed him out of the city. After greeting each other, Liu Yu asked about the situation and knew that Lord Feng Yi had died in the fierce battle, and he was very sad. He said with emotion: "A month ago, I met with Lord Guo and Lord Feng in Xindu, and I didn't want to be the last time I met with the two adults. ”

He calmed down his emotions a little and continued excitedly: "The Yellow Turban and Zhang Niujiao caused chaos in the two states, ruined the lives of the people, and harmed my minister, which is really a great crime. ”

Changshi Chen Li immediately replied: "According to Lord Li's news, he was shot to death by a stray arrow in the battle a few days ago. ”

Liu Yu asked in surprise: "The news is accurate?" ”

Chen Li, Frustrated, and Guo Yu shook their heads. Chen Li replied: "There is no confirmation. ”

Liu Yu immediately opened his mouth and asked, "What about Captain Li Feng, Li Zimin?" Why didn't he come and pick me up? ”

Fu Zhu hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, he has already gone south to attack Handan five days ago. ”

Liu Yu laughed, "This kid, I haven't arrived before I went north to support Gaunt, so he can't wait to go south to fight Handan." This boy ......," he scolded affectionately, "runs faster than a rabbit." Is there any news from him? ”

Although the three people on the other side knew that Li Hong and Liu Yu knew each other, they didn't expect the relationship between the two to be so good.

"Back to my lord, there has been no news from Lord Lieutenant." Frustrated, he replied worriedly.

"That's how he used to fight in Youzhou, and when the war was won, he came out. Don't worry, it's okay. Liu Yu said with a smile, and then asked, "Where has the Yellow Turban Army withdrawn now?" ”

"The ant thieves who retreated from Gaoyi City the day before yesterday suddenly abandoned the city and fled. Lord Pan, the Commander of the Governor, had already rushed over with his troops. Wuguan Peng Guo Yu said, "The news that Lord Captain's troops are not in Game Tao City, we suspect that the ant thieves know about it." They were probably worried that their old nest Zhending City would be attacked, so they fled back overnight. ”

While they were talking, a small group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the snowfield in the distance, and galloped towards them.

Changshi Chen Li pointed at them and asked, "My lord, is that an adult's scout?" What seems to be the urgency? ”

Liu Yu hurriedly took a closer look.

The frustrated professor next to him exclaimed, "My lord, look at the car behind ......."

Liu Yu laughed and said happily: "You guys will pick it up with me." It was the car where the imperial envoy was sitting, and a holy decree had arrived. ”

The three of them were very happy when they heard this, and hurriedly followed Liu Yu to meet them.

It was Fu Xie (pronounced xie) who came to the court. He is a native of Lingzhou County, Beidi County, Xiliang, with both civil and military skills, and good martial arts. was originally the protector Sima of the Huangfu Song Army, but because of the impeachment of the eunuchs, he was transferred to Liangzhou as the governor of Anding County. At the beginning of last year, he went to Luoyang to serve as a speaker.

Although Liu Yu and Fu Xie met for the first time, they had heard of each other for a long time and had been friends for a long time. Both of them were upright and loyal people, with similar temperaments, and they had a very pleasant conversation after meeting.

Fu Xie is quite famous among the government and the opposition. He became famous not because of war, nor because of his talent, but because of his swearing.

Last year, in the Boyu Palace of Xiliang and Beigong, Li Wenhou led the people to rebel, and the court was unable to levy it, and the courtiers discussed how to solve the matter. In order to defend the land of Xiliang and quell the rebellion of Xiliang, the court levied every year and spent money every year, with little effect, so above the court, everyone had a fierce debate about whether to fight or not to fight.

Cui Lie, who was Situ at the time, boldly said that he wanted to give up Liangzhou in court discussions. Fu Xie listened to Cui Lie's remarks, and was furious, and immediately shouted: "Situ Ke beheaded!" Kill Situ, the world is safe! This is a word, and everyone is shocked.

Cui Lie was furious and accused Fu Xie of committing a crime. In order to save Situ Cuilie's face, Shangshu had to write to the Son of Heaven and impeach Fu Xie for not saying anything. The Son of Heaven then summoned Fu Xie and asked him why he insulted Lord Situ. Fu Xie replied calmly: "Liangzhou is the key point of my Han Dynasty, the barrier of the country, how can I casually say that I don't want to give up?" Now the joint rebellion of the Han and Hu forces in Xiliang is only caused by the violation of law and discipline by some state and county officials, and it is not a big deal. Cui Lie, as the third duke, was the chief assistant of the court, and he did not try his best to find a way to eliminate the rebellion, but he opened his mouth and said that he would give up the territory of my Han Dynasty, if this kind of person is not killed, who should be killed? If the rebellion occupies Xiliang, the power swells, and the military strength is increased before entering Kou Sanfu, how will we resist? Isn't this a deep concern for the community? ”

After hearing this, the Son of Heaven greatly appreciated his loyalty, and immediately adopted his suggestion, and led the army west by Huangfu Song, the general of the left chariot cavalry, to conquer the Xiliang rebels. Fu Xie has been famous all over the world since then, and everyone knows that there is a loyal "Fu Maniac" in the northwest.

Fu Xie is in his thirties, with an eight-foot build, tall and heroic, probably because he has been in the army in Western Xinjiang for many years, and his skin is dark and lacks redness.

"Brother Bo'an is running so fast. I crossed the Yellow River and ran directly to Ganling Kingdom, but I pounced on it, saying that you had taken your troops to Anping Kingdom. When I arrived in Xindu, you ran to the gall again, causing me to chase all the way non-stop, day and night. Fu Xie said with a smile.

"It's hard work Nanrong (Fu Xie's words). Why, is the Divine Decree given to me? Liu Yu asked strangely, "Lord Muguo of Jizhou, Lord Feng of Julu County were killed one after another, the Jizhou army suffered heavy losses, and the imperial court did not get any news?" ”

"I've been out of Beijing for more than ten days, and I'm here to give you an order. I naturally don't know how the imperial court will deal with the affairs of Jizhou. However, I had already heard about the death of the two adults on the way. Jizhou ant thieves are so rampant, don't you adults have any way? Didn't you hear that the black panther in Youzhou had gone south to recover Zhongshan Kingdom? And what about his troops? Fu Xie asked.

"Lord Li has already led his troops to attack Handan." Liu Yu said with a smile, "Five days ago, in this place under our feet, the leopard fought against the Yellow Turban Army with 15,000 people, and defeated the ant thieves, killed nearly 100,000 people, and relieved the siege of the gall. ”

"Oh?" Fu Xie said in surprise, "Is the Youzhou Iron Horse so powerful? In this way, Jizhou has solved the problem of rampant ant ant thieves? ”

Changshi Chen Li hurriedly replied: "No." If the ant thieves of Zhao and Changshan are solved, all the cities of the two states are recovered, and the ant thieves are caught up in Taihang Mountain, so can it be said. ”

"It's coming. In a few days, the leopard will probably send news from Handan. The rest is to solve the problem of Changshan Country. Liu Yu said with a smile.

Fu Xie frowned and said, "If you don't get rid of the horns, you will always be in trouble. Even if we catch the ant thieves up the mountain, when spring comes, they will come down the mountain again and infest, and it will be difficult to completely eradicate them. ”

"I heard that Zhang Niujiao died in the battle of the gall pottery." The facial features Peng Guo Yu replied respectfully.

Fu Xie looked at them in surprise and asked, "Why haven't we heard this news?" ”

"Unconfirmed. We also heard that we couldn't get it for sure, so it didn't spread. Liu Yu hurriedly explained, "By the way, Nanrong, you personally came to give an order, is there anything urgent in the imperial court?" ”

"Your Majesty wants you to go back to Luoyang, and you will leave immediately after receiving the order." Fu Xie said with a smile, "Your Majesty decreed that Brother Bo'an be promoted to Shang Shuling. Congratulations to Brother Bo'an. ”

Shang Shuling, who is in charge of the emperor's recitals and cashiers, is the head who is directly responsible to the emperor and is in charge of all government decrees, with a rank of 1,000 stones. Shang Shuling and the emperor are together almost every day, and they can be regarded as the emperor's confidants, and their power is very great.

Changshi Chen Li and others, Liu Yu's own subordinates heard that Liu Yu had been promoted, and hurriedly came over to congratulate him.

Liu Yu himself was also very happy, and he said to Fu Xie with a smile: "Thank you Nanrong for the long journey to send such good news." Later, I will go into the city and wait for me to bathe and change my clothes, and I will give you the wind to wash away the pain of the journey. ”

Fu Xie laughed: "Thank you." Brother Bo'an is already a scholar, can he agree to a request from the lower officials. ”

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "You say." ”

"I'm going back to Xiliang. I have written to Your Majesty several times, but Your Majesty has rejected them. I hope Brother Bo'an can help me. ”

"It turns out that you have traveled thousands of miles to send me the Holy Decree for a purpose." Liu Yu suddenly realized, "Isn't the situation in Xiliang bad?" ”

"Very bad. Since the beginning of autumn last year, the general of the chariot cavalry, Lord Zhang, has led his troops to fight the traitors. Although the two sides won and lost each other in the early days, they were gradually lured into the hinterland of Liangzhou by the traitors, and in November, they were ambushed near Jincheng and returned defeated. The troops retreated all the way to Fufeng County. Now Mr. Zhang is in Chang'an, a book a day, begging for rescue, and the situation is very bad. ”

Liu Yu was taken aback and asked, "Does the imperial court have a way to deal with it?" ”

Fu Xie shook his head solemnly, "Your Majesty is also worried, and there is nothing to be done." Now there are traitors everywhere, and there are many wars, not only is the treasury empty, but even it is difficult to recruit soldiers. ”

The joy in Liu Yu's heart disappeared.

Fu Xie continued: "The chaos in this world, whether it is the Yellow Turban in Jizhou or the rebel in Xiliang, which one is not forced to rebel. Who forced him to rebel? The source of Shuo is that group of eunuchs who brought disaster to the country and the people. Nowadays, above the court, eunuchs are erecting power, and loyal ministers are not entering, which is the root cause of the smoke in the land of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for them, where would there be a Yellow Turban uprising? Where will there be a rebellion in Xiliang? In fact, whether it is a foreign invasion or a Yellow Turban rebellion, we can all defeat them, and we can all defeat them. But how many loyal and capable people can defeat the enemy now? Why do rebellions continue to rise and fall? It's all these traitors who mislead the country. Since ancient times, it is not appropriate for evil and virtuous to coexist, just as fire and water are incompatible. However, His Majesty did not listen to the advice, and still entrusted them with important responsibilities and participated in political affairs, causing disasters to flourish. Your Majesty should be good at admonishing you, quickly killing slanderers, reusing loyal ministers and wise men, and reinvigorating the majesty of our Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Yu looked at Fu Xie, who was emotional, and was speechless for a long time. This Fu madman is really crazy, he dares to say anything. Liu Yu let out a long sigh, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered comfort: "If today's son reuses treacherous eunuchs, the eunuchs are more than traitors, abuse power and harm the country, the dynasty is abnormal, and the officials are corrupt, my Han is declining day by day, and the people are suffering." In fact, it is as difficult as a mess to say that things are difficult to say, and it is very simple to say easy. It's easy to tell the difference between a horse and a deer, but if you insist on referring to a deer as a horse, chaos will naturally ensue. You just said that among the current clans, relatives, ministers, and even eunuchs, he is also good and bad, and there are loyal and treacherous, good and evil. If you want to revive the dynasty, the concise and easy way is to choose the best and eliminate the inferior, and it does not necessarily have to be bloody. The key lies in Your Majesty. If Your Majesty admonishes, then the day of prosperity of our Han Dynasty is just around the corner. ”
