Ma Yue said: "Who will let you manage it?"

Guan Hai said: "Uh~~ Our old manager only knows how to fight, kill, and it's not OK to manage the area."

"However, who will let the governance?"

"Yes." Guan Hai turned his head and looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Who will let you manage it?"

Guo Tu coughed dryly and turned his face away. He pretended not to hear anything.

Ma Yue's heart was cold. He swept the world with bandits, which had never happened in ancient and modern times. Even the King of Chuang in the late Ming Dynasty was also because of the influence of intellectuals, and gradually he had the style of a kingly army. But now it was the late Han Dynasty, not the late Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, although ethics were rampant, the court did not deprive the children of poor families of children of poor families of study. There were many woodcutters and farmers who passed the exam for fame and fortune. Driven by fame and fortune, there were countless scholars at that time, and there were many scholars who had resentment towards the court. The King of Chuang could easily attract a large group.

However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were very few scholars with knowledge and talent. Most of these people came from aristocratic families and were prominent in generations. Their views of their disciples were deeply rooted and they could not be condescending to serve the bandits. The only few poor scholars like Guo Jia, Xu Shu were mostly upright people, with the hearts of the world and loyal to the Han Dynasty. How could they help bandits govern the local area?

Before the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty died, even a hero like Cao Cao could not change the determination of famous scholars such as Xun Yu, Xun You and others to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. The descendants of Liu Bei's imperial family could only ascend to the throne after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty has declined, it has not collapsed to the point of being uncontrollable. Under the current situation, no one has the chance, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army has no chance, and Ma Yue's 800 bandits have no chance either.

Guan Hai scratched his head and said depressedly: "Eight hundred bandits are robbing their families and robbing them. It's really not good to manage the place. Forget it, I'll tell those guys that the leader is not the commander, so let them choose someone else."

"return!"

Guan Hai turned around and wanted to leave, but Ma Yue shouted back. Guan Hai turned around and looked at Ma Yue in surprise and asked in confusion: "What?"

A trace of darkness flashed through Ma Yue's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Have I ever said I wouldn't be the Grand Supervisor?"

Guan Hai said in surprise: "Don't we not be able to manage the place? If we cannot manage the place, we have to continue to wander around. How can you stay in Yingchuan and become their chief general?"

Ma Yue said in a dark voice: "These are two different things. Go and call all the messengers in."

Guan Hai said Oh and went out with confusion, but Guo Tu bowed to Ma Yue firmly, and flatteredly said: "The big leader is wise. Although the Yingchuan Yellow Turban is not enough to accomplish anything, it can drive it to make a strong sense. If they are asked to choose someone else as the Grand Supervisor, it will definitely be detrimental to the eight hundred bandits."

Ma Yue raised his neck and poured a cup of hot wine. Guo Tu was right. Ma Yue would never think about relying on Yingchuan's Yellow Turban Army to overthrow the Han Empire. The only use of these mobs was to bluff and scare people. There was no benefit in becoming the Grand Supervisor, and he had to pay a lot of surplus food and grass. But if others were to be the one, it would be a big disaster to the 800 bandits.

In any case, the Eight Hundred Bandits were once a branch of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang. The newly elected Grand General must have the highest military and political command power in Yingchuan. Wouldn’t the Eight Hundred Bandits also obey him? At that time, Ma Yue had only two options to choose from, either patting his butt and leaving, continuing to roam, or simply turning against the Yellow Turban Army completely, but no matter which path, Ma Yue wanted to go.

Now is not the best time to move forward, because there is no more suitable for 800 bandits to recuperate than Yingchuan in the entire heartland of the Central Plains. Ma Yue's "elite soldiers" plan is at the critical moment, and the improvement of the cavalry has just begun. He is unwilling to let the tragedy of Wancheng happen again in Yingchuan.

Ma Yue's wish to turn against the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. In this way, the eight hundred bandits will face the attacks of the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army at the same time. The situation they face will inevitably be even more difficult.

Therefore, Ma Yue's only choice was to accept the title of Grand Supervisor and hold the highest command of Yingchuan Yellow Turbans firmly in his hands. Ma Yue did not expect these mobs to really obey his orders and commands, nor did he expect to rely on these mobs to compete for the Central Plains and seek the world. He just didn't want others to randomly command the eight hundred bandits, resulting in the final defeat of the eight hundred bandits, and that's all.

...

Chenliu County, outside the city of Weishi.

More than 5,000 Han troops had gathered outside the city to stand by, and the flying flags almost covered the entire sky. The commander Mao Jie was wearing military uniform and rode majestic on the back of the horse. He clasped his fists to Kong Yichang and Pan Xu, and said aloud: "Please turn back, sir, please~~just leave."

Kong Qifeng stroked the willow beards on his chin and said happily: "I wish Xiaoxian (Maojie Preface) a victory in the flag, and defeated Yingchuan's bandits in one fell swoop."

Pan Xu also bowed and said, "Brother Xiaoxian, take care of him."

"I'm leaving." Mao Jie pulled the reins hard, pulled the horse's head, then waved the whip and whipped it hard on the horse's thighs, shouting loudly, "Go~~"

“Law ~”

The war horses neighed with pain and ran away with the hair steps. Dozens of personal soldiers followed the shadows, rolling up the sky and dust. The setting sun in the afternoon was confused. In an instant, the officers' commands and trumpets resounded throughout the sky. Five thousand Han soldiers turned around, and gradually gathered into a rolling iron stream, sweeping towards the south.

Mao Jie rode his horse at the forefront of the military position, and the five thousand troops followed him closely, rolling in Mao Jie's chest inexplicably enthusiastically. Looking at the entire Han Empire, how many generals have the opportunity to lead the five thousand troops to fight outside? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A man made achievements and became famous all over the world, and he should fight here.

Yingchuan's Yellow Turban Thief will eventually become a stepping stone for his Maojie to climb the political stage of the Han Empire.

"Driving~~"

Thinking of the passionate and excited place, Maojie whistled up to the sky and whipped it hard on the horse's thighs, hoping to drive into Yingchuan before sunset and kill the Yellow Turban thief.

...

The capital of the Han Empire, Luoyang.

With Yuan Shu returning to Beijing, news came that 800 bandits were rampant in Yingchuan, and the civil and military quarreled in the court. The Deyang Palace almost became a vegetable market. The Ling Emperor, who had always abandoned political affairs, participated in the court discussion for two consecutive days, but did not calm the dispute, but instead became increasingly fierce.

During the late Han Dynasty, the forces in the court were mainly divided into three factions, eunuchs, foreign relatives, and the literati and bureaucratic class who were seeking survival in the cracks. Eunuchs and foreign relatives took turns to control the government affairs, repeatedly traded, and had wins and losses. This pattern continued until Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and the heroes rose together.

When Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, General Dou Wu joined forces with the bureaucratic and literati class to eliminate the eunuchs. He was punished by the eunuch Cao Jie. Since then, the eunuchs were the only one in power, and the relatives and bureaucratic and literati had to rely on them to seek harsh life. In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and Emperor Ling issued an edict to confer He Jin as the general, and the military commanders of the whole country began to make a comeback, gradually forming a situation of competing with the eunuchs.

In the second year of Zhongping, in just one year, the relationship between foreign relatives and eunuchs deteriorated sharply, and two camps were gradually formed that were incompatible with water and fire. A blinding battle was launched in the court, either open or secret. In fact, the eunuchs at that time were quite powerful, and they did not only run to Emperor Ling or the Empress Dowager, as described in some novels, to cry and wipe away tears. The eunuchs at that time not only had the favor of Emperor Ling, but also controlled the most elite Yulin Army of the Han Dynasty and the eight lieutenant of the Xiyuan District. They also took away He Jin's nominal power of the general town. Many officials in each prefecture and county also colluded with the eunuchs in the court and supported each other. They were completely different from the eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty. They were despised by the world. No matter how they kicked Da, they were still just a flea in the imperial city.

The focus of this debate is whether it is necessary to condemn the army to conquer the 800 bandits rampant in Yingchuan.

The foreign relatives led by General He Jin believed that they should never tolerate traitors and wait for the situation in Yingchuan to collapse. Yuan Shu should be appointed as the general to fight against rebellion, and the governor of Yuzhou should be immediately appointed, and the left central general Zhu Jun and the right central general Huangfu Song should be coordinated with two armies, three groups to advance together to clear out 800 bandits.

The eunuch forces believed that this was just a big deal. The eight hundred bandits were just a group of horse thieves wandering around, and would not endanger the national destiny of the Han Empire. They only needed to understand the strict clearance of local officials, so they would not be able to mobilize the masses. Moreover, the eunuchs proposed the geographical reasons even more high-sounding, because since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Empire had been in a state of war, the national treasury was empty, and the people's livelihood was exhausted, and they could not afford a major military conquest.

He Jin was worried about He Jin. Once the elite troops led by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song returned to Luoyang, the troops would return to Xiyuan. They would inevitably be controlled by the military captain Fishuo. From then on, He Jin would be as hard as he could ascend to the sky if He Jin wanted to punish him again! And if the eunuchs controlled this elite troops, it would be like hanging a sharp sword around the necks of the foreign relatives and literati and bureaucratic classes, making them unable to sleep or eat.

The wisest way is naturally to use the excuse that the Yellow Turbans have not yet settled, and to control these two elite troops firmly, it is best to be controlled by reliable people like Yuan Shu before they can feel at ease. The eunuchs are not a good-for-nothing lamp, and their intentions to be watched with fire. Therefore, they strongly oppose the mobilization of troops to attack Yingchuan. They insist on dispersing troops in the West Garden and returning to the court.

Emperor Ling was caught between the eunuchs and the relatives of the foreigners. He was in a dilemma and only thought about swimming naked with his concubines. He had never cared about state affairs. Emperor Ling could not understand how the mere 800 bandits caused such a fierce quarrel between civil and military officials in the court?

Another round of court discussion ended with insults and slander. Emperor Ling fled Deyang Palace as if he was fleeing, and returned to the Xiyuan to accompany his concubines to continue swimming naked. General He Jin was depressed and invited Sikong Yuan Feng, Situ Yuan Wei, General He Miao of the General of the Vehicle and Cavalry, Yuan Shu, General of the Tiger Ben, Wang Yun, and Minister Cai Yong to come to the Red Building to enjoy the boredom.

After three rounds of wine, the cups and cups were intertwined. General He Jin was already drunk and suddenly sighed to the sky, his mood was extremely depressed.

There is no reason for He Jin's depression. In the eyes of the world, he is a high-ranking general, and the entire Han Empire's troops were summoned by him. But who knows the pain in He Jin's heart? Originally, he was just a decoration, but now, the Ten Changs have served as the eight lieutenant of the Xiyuan, and even took away this nominal power.

Faced with the aggressive eunuchs' attitude, He Jin wanted to be weak, and he couldn't help but feel helpless. I sighed helplessly for the sake of fish and meat.

Seeing that He Jin was thinking of negative and slack, Sikong Yuan Feng couldn't help but jump.

In fact, in the eyes of bureaucrats and literati, eunuchs were just inhumane castrations, but He Jin was just a butcher. The reason why the literati class, led by Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei brothers, was willing to cooperate with "He butcher" was just to use the power of foreign relatives to overthrow the eunuchs.

Since Cao Jie's chaos in politics, the eunuch group has been covering the sky with only one hand. The scholar-official class can only rely on others to rest and live harshly. Now, after finally having a relative He Jin, who can compete with him, can naturally not want He Jin to be passive and slack, and lose the spirit of fighting with the eunuchs.

Yuan Fengchong's younger brother Yuan Wei gave a wink. Yuan Wei understood and respectfully advised: "The general does not need to be discouraged. Although the eunuchs are powerful, they cannot cover the sky with only one hand. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the two generals, were stationed in Hulao and Sishui, have always respected the general's orders. As long as these two armies do not return to Luoyang for a day, they will be like tigers peeking over. Zhang Rang and other castrated goods will always be afraid and dare not take the general."

Wang Yun, the chief minister, agreed, "What Lord Situ said is extremely right. The most urgent task is to try every means to prevent the two armies from returning to the capital. Otherwise, the troops will be dispersed in the West Garden and will return to the court. The captain of the military school fled Shuo to control the world's army and horses. The general has no soldiers or generals in his hands, and the great affairs will be over."

He Jin sighed and said, "Don't I know, but Your Majesty only believes in the words of treacherous people! I tried to find out the Queen's words, but Your Majesty seemed to believe in the eunuchs. What if he did?"

The minister Wang Yun said, "The lower officials have a plan, I wonder if it is feasible?"

He Jin said anxiously: "Master Zi, come on."

"The general can strictly order the prefectures and counties around Yingchuan to not be supported." Wang Yun's eyes flashed with a ruthless look, and he said in a deep voice, "For the people of the world and the people of the Han Dynasty, he had to sacrifice the people of Yingchuan and even Yuzhou."

Cai Yong was moved when he heard this and said in a loss of voice: "What Master Zi said is that he wants to let the situation in Yingchuan and even Yuzhou collapse and ignore it? The thief chief Ma Yue is not an ordinary person, he is only afraid that raising a tiger will cause trouble!"
