Li Wei's words gave Li Hong a lot of stimulation and shock. Speaking of which, the problem of displaced people was caused by the imperial court itself, and the rebellion of the displaced people was also forced out by the imperial court. Li Wei is right, no amount of money can solve the problem of displaced people, let alone quell the continuous rebellion.

"The fate of the displaced people is very tragic, this is known to everyone, they are naked and grass-fed, and even cannibalism, in the case of survival has become a luxury, they can only believe in the Taiping religion, participate in the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion, their purpose is very simple, is to eat a full stomach, put on clothes. The Taiping Sect gave them this hope, and at the same time gave them the possibility of survival, so they did not hesitate to go forward one after another, without fear of the suppression and massacre of the official army. Li Wei walked back and forth in the big tent excitedly, kept waving his hands, and said loudly, "Whether it is Your Majesty, the Three Princes and Nine Qings, or the current Confucianism such as Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, they know the crux of the problem, but they do not think about reform, but sacrifice the original to seek the end, and stop the chaos by killing, so that the world is in chaos, and the disease of the displaced people is becoming more and more intense, and it is out of control." ”

"At that time, Taiwei Chen Fan saw that the Taiping Sect was all over the state and county, and it might be a disaster to the world, so he wrote to His Majesty, suggesting that the state and county governments in various prefectures and counties should vigorously rectify the displaced people, send them to their hometowns, cultivate the fields, and fight against the Taiping Sect forces, but it was such a useless piece of music, and it was also deliberately detained by the inner court magnates and put on the shelf, until a few years later, when the Yellow Turban rebelled, it was turned out and put on His Majesty's case. This shows the magnitude of resistance to solving the problem of displaced people. ”

Li Wei looked at Li Hong, who looked depressed, and suddenly said generously: "To solve the problem of displaced people, it is not something that can be done by a few conscientious ministers and bureaucrats, nor can it be solved by His Majesty nodding and issuing a few holy decrees, it involves the foundation of the country, the law of the Han Dynasty, taxes and land, so to solve this problem, tinkering is useless, only a big break, can be ......re-established."

The people in the tent were shocked and discolored.

Li Hong hurriedly stood up and waved his hand to stop: "Zhong Yuan, you are excited again, don't talk nonsense." ”

Li Wei glared at Li Hong, and said angrily: "The adults are indomitable on the battlefield, vertical and horizontal, why are you looking forward and backward in this matter, cowering, can't the accumulated bones of the living beings in this world arouse the enthusiasm of the adults?" ”

Li Hong looked at Li Wei's angry face, felt his rebellion and loyalty flowing in his blood, and he suddenly remembered Lao Bian, Han Sui, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng. If the talented Li Wei becomes one of them, does he still have a chance of winning? In order to pacify the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfu Song once made four suggestions to His Majesty, one of which was to remove the party and grant amnesty to the party members. Huangfu Song was wary that once those scholars and traitors came together, the strength of the rebels would be greatly increased, and it would threaten the safety of the Han Dynasty. Looking at Li Wei in front of him, Li Hong's heart also swelled with the same worry as Huangfu Song, scholars like Li Wei thought that the Han was terminally ill and hopeless, so is there still hope for the Han Society?

Li Hong walked up to Li Wei, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down.

Li Hong walked back and forth in the big tent for a few steps, looked at the crowd, and asked, "Since the problem of displaced people has been accumulated for a long time and cannot be solved, is there a way to temporarily alleviate it?" Is there a solution to the millions of displaced people in Taihang Mountain? ”

"My lord, we have to think about this matter, and we can't rush it." Zuo Yan said, "We are going to Taiyuan County to quell the rebellion, not to help the displaced people, and even if we come up with a way to do many things, we may not be able to do it." ”

"My lord, you are a general, a general who led the army to conquer, not a state assassin, nor a Taiyuan County Taishou, many things, especially the matter of solving the homeless people, have nothing to do with the adults. If an adult arrives in the state, he will take care of everything, and one person will have the final say, and the adult should also know what the consequences will be. ”

"We deeply admire the people and serve the country wholeheartedly. To tell you the truth, I surrendered from the Yellow Turban Army, and I am even more reluctant to fight the Yellow Turban Army, but who can understand what adults do except us? To say lightly, you are arrogant and lawless, and when you talk about the point, you are flying and plotting against the law. ”

Li Hong smiled bitterly and sighed: "Brother Junyi, thank you for your advice, I know that what you said is the truth, but I can't help but think about the future of our 70,000 people, I don't want our lives to be wasted on this kind of battlefield in a few years." There have been many battles, and the brothers are almost dead, so I should also think about whether this war should be fought, whether it can be fought, and why? ”

"Everyone follows me, not to kill people, not to shed blood and sweat, but for fame and fortune, so that they can live a good life in the future." Li Hong smiled indifferently, "To put it nicely, it is for the Great Han Kingdom and for His Majesty's Jiangshan Sheji, but when these words came out of my mouth, I didn't believe it myself, are we really fighting for the Great Han Kingdom?" Are we really fighting for Your Majesty? ”

The crowd was stunned.

"Zimin, why are you ......" Xian Yufu finally couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you lately, what are you thinking about staying in the big tent every day?" ”

Li Hong shook his hand at him and said, "Brother Yu Xing, my brain is not bad, I just want to tell a few words of truth." I've been a Shangguan for a long time, and it's been a long time since I've sat with you like brothers and chatted casually, everyone has followed me to kill and kill, trust each other, and there's nothing that can't be said. There are some things that I have been stuffing in my stomach for a long time, and I want to say them. ”

Li Hong looked up at the top of the tent and sighed, "Since I came back from the Xianbei Country, I have been running around the battlefield, and I have never had time to stop and think about it. He pointed to the map on the ground and said, "This time I sat on this map of the state, and my mind was calm, but I couldn't concentrate on thinking about the war. I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly I realized that I didn't know why I was fighting. ”

"Why am I at war?"

"Do I want to find my lost memories? Do I want to find my loved ones? Do I want to protect my brothers' lives? Do I want to get promoted and get rich? Do I want to protect the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Han Kingdom? Why the hell am I at war? ”

Li Hong faced the puzzled eyes of his subordinates, pointed to his head and said, "You say, do I know the Great Han Kingdom?" How many things do I know about the Great Han Kingdom? Am I really a citizen of the Han Kingdom? ”

There was a dead silence in the tent.

"The trip to Luoyang touched me a lot." Li Hong gently tussled the long hair that was scattered on his chest behind his shoulders, and said thoughtfully, "You say, is Your Majesty for the sake of the Han Dynasty?" Are the ministers of the court for the sake of the Han Dynasty? If they are for the sake of the Han Dynasty, then why do they live in luxury, while the homeless people are eating people? ”

"Are we fighting to keep His Majesty and the princes and magnates entertained, or to let the homeless people continue to eat people?"

"Who the hell are we fighting for? Why do we fight? ”

Li Hong looked at everyone and said with a wry smile: "I've been at a loss lately, I don't know what I should do, what I shouldn't do, I don't know what I do is right, how I do it is wrong." What I want to do seems to be wrong, but what I don't want to do is right. ”

"I was at a loss and at a loss."

The big tent was quiet, only Li Hong's figure swayed gently under the reflection of the candlelight.

After a long time, Xian Yufu whispered: "My lord, you can rest early, let's go back." ”

Zuo Yan stood up, bowed down and said, "The idea of the adult is very unique, we must think about it when we go back." In addition, during this period of time, Zhong Yuan, Changfeng, and Ji Zhi and I carefully discussed the affairs of the displaced people in Taihang Mountain, and after arriving in Taiyuan, we must give the adults a solution. ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The eight-hundred-mile fast ride swept into the camp like a whirlwind, and the sound of horses' hooves was like *, thrilling.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen heralds rushed out of the big tent, and everyone flew away, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night in an instant.

It didn't take long for the battalion commanders to fly with their attendants.

＝＝＝

Xiao Lan's delicate voice had not stopped, and the big tent immediately screamed as if it had exploded.

The news of the outbreak of rebellion in Youzhou finally reached Li Hongjun, and the generals of Youzhou were so anxious that they couldn't rush back to their hometowns immediately.

"How's Luronse? My lord, has Luronse ever fallen? Beard looked excited and shouted loudly, he pointed to the paperwork in Xiaolan's hand and asked, "That can be said about Lu Longse?" ”

The families of Beard, Yan Daring Fearless, and a gang of horse thief brothers are all in Lulongse, so they are very anxious and watch out for the safety of their families.

Li Hong looked at the map of Youzhou on the case, his expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word.

Xiao Lan shook her head in panic, "No, Lord Wei, there is no mention of Lu Longsai here. ”

"What about Yuyang City? Can you talk about Yuyang City? Xian Yuyin's parents and brothers were in Yuyang City, and his face turned red in a hurry.

"Bojun, don't worry, the detailed documents of Shangshutai haven't arrived yet, this is just an urgent report." Xian Yufu pulled Xian Yuyin and comforted, in fact, his heart was on fire, more anxious than anyone else, his parents, brothers, wife and children were all in Yuyang City, if Yuyang City was captured by the rebels, the fate of his family could be imagined.

Tian Zhong sat beside Li Hong, muttering incessantly, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Jade and Zheng Xin and the others gathered together, restless. A group of foreign generals such as Heng Sai and Sheyingtong were not so anxious, and the rebellion was mainly concentrated in the eastern and central counties of Youzhou, and had not yet spread to Shanggu and other counties in the north.

"My lord, immediately go to the imperial court, let's go back to Youzhou to quell the rebellion, and go back to Youzhou." Yan Rou said eagerly, "The Karasuma people are reversed, and the Xianbei people may take advantage of the situation, this time Youzhou is dangerous, it is really dangerous." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, as mentioned above, Lord Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping, and Lord He Yi, the Taishou of Yuyang County, are blocking the rebels in Baoqiushui, and the reinforcements of Lord Qi Chou, the captain of Karasuma, and Lord Wang Wei, the Taishou of Zhuo County, are rushing to Jicheng." Li Wei tried his best to comfort him: "Jicheng now has Lord Yang Chun and Gongsun Zan of the Cavalry Commander leading the troops to hold on, and Youzhou will not have much of a problem for the time being." ”

"You kid knows a piece of." As soon as Xian Yuyin's fiery temper came up, his polite appearance suddenly disappeared, and he pointed at Li Wei and scolded, "You are from Jiangdong, how do you know how powerful the people of Northern Xinjiang are, and the people of Northern Xinjiang are soldiers when they pick up swords and guns, and those who don't practice are ten times more powerful than those of the Central Plains." 100,000 traitors fight Jicheng, who can defend it? ”

"Your woman is in your arms, of course you are not in a hurry, but our family is in northern Xinjiang, how can we not be in a hurry?" The beard shouted loudly, "My lord, I want to go back to Youzhou." ”

Xiao Lan blushed and quietly hid behind Li Wei. Li Wei originally wanted to scold back, but when he saw the angry expressions of Hu Zi and the others, he had to frown and forget it.

＝＝＝

Although Li Hong was looking at the map intently, there were Xiaoyu's complaining eyes in front of him, which made him uncertain and unable to control himself. How is she now? Did you run to Xu Wushan with Tian Chou?

Li Hong lowered his head and sighed.

Zhang Chun, he never thought that Zhang Chun would rebel. Except for Zhang Chun's fierce rhetoric by the Shengshui River, Li Hong really couldn't connect a knowledgeable, gentle and elegant old man who was worried about the country and the people with a rebel. Thinking of his association with Zhang Chun when he was in Lunu City, and remembering that he saw off Zhang Chun who was imprisoned in a prison car, Li Hong felt like a dream. Zhang Chun turned out to be a rebel.

He glanced up at Xian Yufu. At that time, Xian Yufu said that Zhang Chun was ruthless and scheming, and persuaded himself to have less contact with him, but he was still dissatisfied. Now it seems that Xian Yufu's vision is much better than his own.

"Yu Xing, this Zhang Ju is the great Confucian in your Yuyang City?" Li Hong asked.

Xian Yufu sneered and said disdainfully: "The children of my Xianyu family are all ashamed of his great rebellion, this madman dares to call himself the Son of Heaven." ”

"Shame? Why? ”

"The children of my family all worship him as a teacher, and study with him in the Xiaonanshan Library." Xian Yufu sighed, "Think about it, how will the people of our Xianyu family become officials in Northern Xinjiang in the future, and how will they raise their heads and be people?" ”

Li Hong didn't make a sound. If the teacher commits a crime, it is naturally difficult for the disciples to come out, and it is no wonder that Xian Yufu is so angry.

Yan Liang sat on the side, looking lonely. When Zhang Chun was down, he not only took him in, but also entrusted him with important tasks, so Yan Liang has always regarded Zhang Chun as his benefactor and old master, but he didn't expect it......

"Zishan, you see Zhang Chun claiming to be the prime minister, the general of Mitian, and the king of stability." Li Hong smiled bitterly, "What did the Yellow Turban leader Ku Chieftain say that day, it seems that this Anding Shuai is Zhang Chun, otherwise, how could he call himself the King of Anding?" Could he have been the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in the past? ”

Yan Liang was still looking down and thinking about his thoughts as if he hadn't heard it.

＝＝＝

Li Hong and the others calmed down, and asked Xiao Lan to read the holy decree of the Son of Heaven again.

"Your Majesty ordered us to rush to Taiyuan County immediately to quell Zhang Yan's rebels, so Your Majesty will definitely not agree to this matter in Youzhou. Even if we have to agree, we will have to wait until we defeat Zhang Yan. ”

Li Hong stood up, motioned for the generals to sit down, and continued: "At present, there are rebellions of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun and the Karasuma people in Youzhou, rebels of Zhang Yan and Yang Feng in Bingzhou, Yellow Turban Army of Baihuan and Zhenggu in Jizhou, and rebels of Yugu in Hanoi threatening Gyeonggi. After a period of silence, the Yellow Turban Army broke out again, and the war spread across the three prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River. If you add the rebellious kingdom of Xiliang and Han Sui, then the entire four northern states of my Great Han Kingdom are all at war. This is the most dangerous situation since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Zhang Jiao in the first year of Zhongping. ”

Li Hong looked at everyone and said resolutely: "What should be done, you all know it in your hearts, and I won't say it." It is not only us who have suffered from the destruction of our families, but also tens of millions of people, who have been, are, and will be, so we must obey military orders in a hurry, scolding and scolding. ”

Beard whispered a few curses hatefully.

Li Hong glared at him and said to him: "The official has become bigger, and his temper has also risen, do you want to leave the barracks without permission?" ”

The beard bowed his head and was silent.

"Now it seems that the invasion of the Xianbei people has helped the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, so that they can calmly get into trouble, and the imperial court because of the war with the Xianbei people, whether it is money or army, has suffered huge losses, and it is simply unable to go north to quell the rebellion in the short term, so that the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army can be rampant for a long time, and the Great Yan Kingdom will continue to support, so as long as we quickly pacify the state, we can go north and return to Youzhou, when the time comes, the revenge of the revenge, the snow hatred of the snow hate, but now, I advise you to concentrate on fighting the war of merging the state."

"The Yellow Turban Army has planned carefully this time, and the rebels from all over the country have been dispatched at the same time to support each other, and the momentum is huge, if you want to completely defeat the rebels, you can only come one bite at a time, and it is useless to be anxious."

"Tomorrow morning, we will leave for Jinyang."

＝＝＝

The battle situation in Youzhou is very bad.

Liu Zheng, the Taishou of the Right Beiping, was defeated in Lucheng, the whole army was annihilated, and Liu Zheng died in battle.

Yuyang Taishou He Yi was defeated by Zhang Chun in Fox Slave City and fled back to Yuyang City. Zhang Chun then led the army to besiege the city, the city should open the city gate in the middle of the night, Yuyang fell, Yuyang Captain Tian Kai escorted Taishou He Yi to break through and escape.

When the reinforcements led by the captain of the Karasuma Guard, Qi Chou led the reinforcements from Juyong Pass south to the vicinity of Changping City, he was surrounded by rebels, and the whole army was annihilated, and Qi Chou was killed in battle.

At the end of this month, the rebels besieged Jicheng, Youzhou assassinated Yang Chun, and the cavalry captain Gongsun Zan led the army to hold on. The Karasuma rebels, led by Qiu Liju, the lord of Karasuma in Liaoxi, rushed to Jicheng and participated in the siege. After nearly 200,000 rebels attacked for three days, Jicheng was lost, and the remnants of the army led by Yang Chun and Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, fled to Zhuocheng.
