Chapter 142: Crisis

If you want to say that the imperial court is the biggest shili now, you have to say that it is ten permanent servants.

Zhang Rang was on duty today, standing behind Emperor Ling and waiting. He was able to achieve his current position, and he is also unique in politics. He Jin is a noble relative and a thorn in the side of the Ten Standing Servants. After Zhang Rang heard He Jin finish speaking, he knew that this was He Jin who wanted to take the opportunity to expand his shili.

As the head of the Ten Standing Attendants, Zhang Rang finally had a general who commanded the army close to him, how could he let He Jin and the others easily take down Qin Feng.

Seeing that no one objected at this moment, Zhang Rang hurriedly said behind Emperor Ling: "Bixia, Qin Feng is proficient in the art of war, and the day before yesterday there were frequent good news, and more than 200,000 yellow scarves were exterminated before and after. Now it is converging with Zhonglang General Huangfu Song and Riding Captain Cao Cao. General Huangfu is a famous general of our dynasty, and with him by his side, how can he say that he will be defeated? ”

"The minister thinks that something is wrong, and he should find out and make plans again."

When Emperor Ling heard it, what Zhang Rang said also made sense. Qin Feng has been reporting frequent successes, and the yellow scarves he beat have no power to fight back, and now with the assistance of Huangfu Song and others, how can he be defeated repeatedly. He said, "What Aiqing said is very ....... ”

He Jin was anxious when he heard this, these hateful eunuchs are always against me, he hurriedly said: "Bixia, the battle ahead is urgent, seeing that Yecheng is lost, then all the lands of the four northern states of my Han Dynasty will fall into the hands of thieves!" ”

"It's ......." There are only thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ling has no idea when he hears that the four states are about to be gone.

"General, don't be alarmist. It is that Qin Feng has been defeated repeatedly, and it is inappropriate for you to send the captain Yuan Shao to go. Zhang Rang was behind Emperor Ling, glared angrily at He Jin, and said coldly: "You must know that the old general Huangfu Song is also on the front line, if you want to change the commander, you should be the commander of the Huangfu general." Why did you send a little boy there? ”

The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and if you want to eradicate the eunuchs, you have to rely on the Yuan family. However, the current second generation of the Yuan family has no one who has become famous. Yuan Kui agreed to cooperate with He Jin, but the condition was to help his nephew Yuan Shao ascend to the throne and inherit the foundation of the Yuan family in the future.

And He Jin was also very optimistic about Yuan Shao, who had the same hatred as him, and took him as a confidant, so he avoided an old general like Huangfu Song and directly recommended Yuan Shao to take power.

I don't want to have a unique vision, so I hit the nail on the head.

Yuan Shao has no military merits, and he is too young to serve the public, and he can't be compared with Huangfu Song at all, so He Jin was speechless, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Kui stood aside expressionlessly, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Zhang Rang sneered proudly, he would never let Yuan Shao replace Qin Feng in charge of the army. But he also knew how to advance and retreat, and when he saw that he had forced He Jin with words, he took the opportunity to say again: "Qiju Bixia, it's better to find out the reason and make a decision." ”

When Emperor Ling first heard that Yuan Shao was from Yuan Kui's family, he subconsciously classified him as a confidant. Now that I think about it, there is Huangfu Song in front of me. To say that this Emperor Fu Song is on the same level as Yuan Kui and He Jin in the heart of Emperor Ling. How could he let a child pass over Huangfu Song to replace the military power. Then he said: "In this case, send a messenger to Qin Feng to ask for a careful ......." ”

There was no other major event, and the meeting would be dispersed after a while.

Before leaving, Zhang Rang and He Jin glanced at each other, making no secret of their murderous intentions. For the sake of power, the two are already inseparable.

……

The big battle between Qin Feng and Zhang Liang was temporarily suspended because of the night.

Qin Feng was thinking in the big tent, "Defeated repeatedly, the master is also famous this time, it depends on Zuihou's battle." Hehe, it's just a blockbuster. Qin Feng had better do something like this, and he couldn't help but smile.

At this time, a person walked in outside the big tent, "Lord ......." ”

Qin Feng looked up, and couldn't help but stand up, and said strangely: "Hey, Zhou Shan, why are you here?" ”

"Lord, this morning, there was unfavorable news from the court, Zhou Shan hurried up, and finally arrived." It turned out that Zhou Shan had received a message from the Ten Standing Attendants, asking him to send a message to Qin Feng as soon as possible to prepare early. Zhou Shan quickly whipped his horse, ran and killed several good horses along the way, and finally arrived here.

To say that although Qin Feng is in the middle of the general, he is an official who has been promoted in the line of fire, and he has never entered the Luoyang Palace, so it can be said that he doesn't know anything about the affairs of this court. At this moment, Wen Yan was shocked and said, "What happened to the court?" ”

Zhou Shan explained the matter in detail, and Zuihou said: "Lord Zhang Rang ordered me to inform the lord as soon as possible, and prepare for the ...... to meet the errand. ”

What to do? Made, I forgot about this guy.

He Jin began to emerge from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was even elected by the ministers to become the leader of the confronting the eunuch group.

In the future, the two shili, the scholar group headed by He Jin, and the eunuch group of the ten permanent servants, will control the power of the imperial court before the death of Emperor Ling. With these two strengths, Qin Feng knew that he could not offend either side. It is best to swim between the two parties and take advantage of the opportunity to fish.

In Qin Feng's view, winning over people is nothing more than two aspects, one is like-mindedness, and the other is financial interests. He would never be like-minded with eunuchs and pig killers. Then he said: "Zhou Shan, October is approaching, how is the business of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Zhou Shan didn't know why, why the lord suddenly asked about business, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the development of our chamber of commerce for half a year has monopolized the sugar industry in the Central Plains. We are the only imperial merchant in the imperial court, and this year's profits are very considerable. So far, I have earned 400,000 yuan, and the year-end business will be better, when it is around 500,000 yuan. ”

To say that Qin Feng's temperament in business is similar to Bai Qiye in the mansion. He just had to come up with an idea and let Zhou Shan do it, as for how much money he earned, he really didn't know if he didn't ask.

"500,000! Hehe, he's really rich. Qin Feng's temper came up, so he said: "You go back, find a reason for filial piety, and bring 200,000 yuan to He Jin." ”

Zhou Shan was shocked when he heard this, my mother, 200,000 yuan! That's 200 million dollars, just give it to a beggar, and you can become a wealthy family in Luoyang City. "200,000 guan, what if you don't take it?"

"It doesn't matter, you bring me this sentence, and he will take it." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Please make it clear." Zhou Shan said.

"If you tell He Jin, just say that if in the future, the eunuch will prevent his nephew and prince from ascending to the throne, and I, Qin Feng, will help with all my might." Qin Feng said.

Zhou Shan was a little foggy, how could he get in touch with the prince again, I really couldn't understand.

In fact, Qin Feng also suddenly thought of one thing: Emperor Ling was seriously ill, and when he was dying, he entrusted the heir in his mind, the prince and the prince, to his particularly trusted eunuch and military academy lieutenant. Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin first and then set up the Emperor Association as the emperor, so he asked He to enter**. But Jian Shuo's Sima Pan Yin is He Jin's old acquaintance, hinting at He Jin. He Jin was able to withdraw, Jian Shuo's Jihua was defeated, and the prince was able to inherit the throne smoothly.

In Qin Feng's opinion, He Jin wanted to replace himself with Yuan Shao, and he couldn't expand his strength. I can take the opportunity to get closer to him, how to say that I am also a middle-class general, with money and power in my hands. He didn't believe that He Jin, an ambitious guy, would push himself outward? Unless he doesn't want to dominate the dynasty alone.

Then again, Chaozhong is not He Jinshili, and there are Shichang attendants staring at him in front, he will never push himself out.

When a relative is in power, there must be a younger emperor, and there are almost no senior emperors, and relatives can dominate the dynasty, so Qin Feng asked Zhou Shan to pass on the sentence "The prince has something".

"Zhou Shan, you return to Luoyang immediately and go to see He Jin as soon as possible. If we can't do anything, let's make another plan. Qin Feng zuihou said.

In his opinion, tomorrow's battle between himself and Zhang Liang will be victorious. Not to mention that the imperial court sent a messenger to understand the situation first, that is, Yuan Shao arrived. If he wins tomorrow, he will be blasted back. "Grandma's, I want to pick Lao Tzu's fruit, no way!"

Zhou Shan got the lord's order and didn't mention it since he went back.

……

As soon as Zhou Shan left, Gao Shun walked in and reported: "Lord, the Yellow Turban has sent a large number of fine works, and it is dark and cannot guarantee that all of them will be killed." ”

"It's okay, let's order the soldiers to hurry up and rest tonight, we won't do anything anymore, just wait for the next day to fight to exterminate this Yellow Turban thief." Qin Feng said.

The Yellow Turbans pursued at full speed without stopping, which greatly shortened the journey, and they could reach the designated position tomorrow.

"General, where did General Cao get the news, saying that everything is ready, just wait for the seven cannons to sound tomorrow, and the water of the Zhanghe River will be vented to ......." Xun Yu came in and said.

"It's best to ......."

Qin Feng was just about to plan a battle with Xun Yu for tomorrow, when he saw a junior colonel break in and shouted: "General, the big thing is not good, Zhang Liang has all the soldiers and horses in the camp and killed him!" ”

"What!" Qin Feng was taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhang Liang had pursued for a day and didn't let the soldiers have any rest, so he would come to attack the camp.

"General, whether to defend the fortress or retreat with the whole army, general, please decide as soon as possible." The situation on the battlefield is changeable, and Huangfu Song, who rushed into the big tent, hurriedly said.

Qin Feng's biggest advantage is that he knows more in later generations, but the more he knows, the longer he thinks, where did he get the idea for a while. Hurriedly asked Xun Yu for help, and said, "Strategist, what do you think?" ”

"General......." Xun Yu held his beard, suppressed the uneasiness in his eyes, and said: "If the fortress is defended, if Zhang Liang comes to attack with all his might, then in the end, both sides will be defeated, and our army will not be able to take Guangzong, so we can only ask the court for help." If you retreat, you will be hit by the Yellow Turban at night. If you can't get in touch at night, you will inevitably mix with the Yellow Turban Army, and the soldiers will not know the generals, and the soldiers will not know the soldiers. ”

"Maybe there will be a miracle, our army will take advantage of the chaos to defeat the Yellow Turban rebels. But it is more likely that our army is surrounded by more than 100,000 yellow scarves, and when it is dawn, it will be the time of Zuihou...... Our army will be completely annihilated, and the Yellow Turbans will suffer very few casualties. ”

Dilemma, one wrong step will be over, Qin Feng slowly sat down and began to ponder. Outside, shouts of killing have already sounded.

"General Qin, please make a decision quickly!" Huangfu Song said anxiously on the side. Because he knew that if he didn't make a plan, he would not be able to retreat in time, and he would lose the opportunity to hold on in the first place.

In Qin Feng's view, if you stick to it, you must ask the imperial court for help afterwards. When the time comes, the imperial court will send reinforcements, and another commander will definitely be appointed to take his place. At that time, he had already lost both with the Yellow Turban. The new commander will easily conquer Zhang Liang and successfully pick the fruits of victory that should belong to him.

In this way, it is bound to make his previous efforts in vain, and it will be difficult to get a good position in the imperial court after the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the future.

However, if you retreat, if you are defeated, you will ask the imperial court for help. But if you win, there's still a chance.

A glimmer of opportunity is better than no chance at all. Qin Feng thought of the third possibility, that is, Xun Yu said that the Yellow Turban was victorious.

Lao Tzu cares so much, but they are all defeated anyway, and there are more than 100,000 yellow scarves left for the new coach to have a headache. Maybe because of these more than 100,000 yellow scarves, the master still has a chance to make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order, and the whole army will retreat." ”

"Three possibilities, I don't believe it, I'm so unlucky!" Qin Feng glanced at the camp that fell into the sea of fire. "Zhang Liang, you are ruthless, stay until dawn, and see if you surround me, or if I break away smoothly."

"The whole army retreated quickly, before dawn, no one is allowed to light torches, no conversation, as long as someone speaks, no one around will be killed!" Before entering the dark earth, the officers under Qin Feng's command loudly conveyed his orders.
