Chapter 132: Hundred Generals

"The general retreated 50,000 bandits with one man's strength. It's hard to reach the world." Zhang Su stepped forward and bowed deeply at Lu Bu, and said respectfully, "The subordinate official thanked the general for his life for his life for the people of Mayi City."

Lu Bu said calmly: "Although Bu has a little martial arts, he definitely cannot praise him like this. Although the bandits are known as 50,000, there are actually at most 1 or 20,000 people, most of which are old, young, sick and weak, and bluffing. There are only one or two thousand people who can fight. They are hungry for a long time, tired and unable to get excited, and they are not dressed in uniform and have lack of military equipment. Such mobs are really vulnerable. Just kill the chief general and then they will scatter birds and beasts. It is really a victory that is not martial, haha~~"

It was not that Lu Bu was deliberately modest. Mayi was only a small county town, with only two or three hundred volunteer soldiers in the city, but they could defend the city for ten days without breaking. The combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of bandit soldiers can be imagined.

Zhang Su said: "However, the general finally lifted the siege of Mayi."

Lu Bu said: "This is my duty, so what's the point?"

Zhang Su pulled the young general behind him and said, "Liao'er, come and pay homage to General Lu Bu."

Zhang Liao stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Lu Bu, and said aloud: "Zhang Liao~~Watch the general."

Lu Bu nodded, and didn't even look at Zhang Liao, and said calmly: "County Magistrate Zhang (Han system, more than ten thousand gulfs are county magistrates, and less than ten thousand gulfs are county magistrates), the siege of Mayi has been lifted, so I will say goodbye."

A hint of disappointment suddenly flashed across Zhang Liao's young handsome face.

Zhang Su looked at Zhang Liao. He knew that his son was better than his father, so he had to say to Lu Bu with a thick face: "General, the subordinate has a reluctant request~~"

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Please speak in County Magistrate Zhang."

Zhang Su whispered: "The son Zhang Liao was only seventeen years old. Although his qualifications were dull and unbearable, he admired the general's reputation and was willing to follow the general. He was a famous follower in front of the saddle and horse. I wonder what the general wanted?"

Lu Bu said calmly: "Well, let him follow me."

Zhang Su said happily: "Thank you for your fulfillment, Liao'er still doesn't thank the general."

Zhang Liao pushed Jinshan, and the Yuzhu knelt in front of Lu Bu. He couldn't hide his excitement in his expression and said loudly: "Thank you, General~~"

"I'll go~~" Lu Bu shouted lightly, and he had already jumped out of the city tower, stretched out his hand and patted the low battlements of Mayi City to fall to the city. Lu Bu was meter tall, and his hands had just released the battlements, and his feet had almost stepped on the ground (now you know that Lu Bu jumped onto a two-meter wall is nothing, right? Because that was not a simple jump, and there were also climbing movements after jumping. I couldn't explain every move of Lu Bu in detail. The battle was probably more than 100,000 words, and it was a flowing bill, right). Lu Bu landed and turned around. He bowed to Zhang Su on the city tower and said loudly, "Three days later, please come to Jinyang to meet and say goodbye~~"

"The next official respectfully sends the general."

Watching Lu Buyang leave, Zhang Su's figure suddenly shook, and his face turned pale in an instant. Zhang Liao rushed forward to support Nai's father and asked with concern: "Father. What's wrong with you?"

"No~nothing~~"

Zhang Su covered his heart with his hands, waved his hand weakly, and suddenly fell down. Zhang Liao rushed forward and helped his father up. He suddenly found that there was a bright red blood oozing out from Zhang Su's body. In an instant, the battle robe on his body was moistened red. A piece of cold knife tip suddenly burst out from behind Zhang Su. Zhang Liao then found that a dagger was stabbed in his father's chest!

"Father. Are you injured?"

Zhang Liao was very anxious.

A bleak smile frozes the corner of Zhang Su's mouth, and he said tremblingly: "Liao~er, I'm afraid of my father. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day I will give you a gift. Today I will give you a word for a word, and it's called Wen~ Wenyuan~ I hope your ambitions and minds can be as broad as the desert. Don't embarrass your ancestors~uh~~"

"Father~~"

On the city tower, Zhang Liao's heart-wrenching howls sounded leisurely, and the Han soldiers standing on the city tower hung down their heads one after another. The expressions were dark~~

...

Luoyang. The Grand Tutor Yuan Fengfu Mansion.

Situ Huang Wan visited the mansion overnight, and Yuan Feng hurriedly gave Huang Wan to the secret room.

The guest and host took a seat. Yuan Feng asked, "Mr. Situ came to visit overnight, but what's the important thing?"

Huang Wan looked around and Yuan Feng hurriedly stepped down. Huang Wan then lowered his voice and asked: "Since the people of Luoyang are rumoring something, has the Taifu heard of it?"

Yuan Feng said: "What's the matter?"

Huang Wan said: "Sir, really don't know?"

Yuan Feng said anxiously: "Oh, Lord Situ, don't hide it, say it quickly if you have something to do."

Huang Wan replied: "It is widely rumored that the governor of Yizhou Han Fu, the governor of Bohai Yuan Shao, the governor of Yangzhou Yuan Shu, the governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou Kong Rong and other chief officials have joined forces with the tutors of the court. The chief master and his official have jointly submitted a letter to the empress dowager, intending to depose the son of the day, support the current emperor's uncle, and the governor of Youzhou Liu Yu as the emperor!"

"ah?"

Yuan Feng was shocked when he heard this, and his originally rosy face turned pale in an instant.

When Huang Wan saw Yuan Feng's expression, he knew it clearly that this matter was not groundless, but that it was true. He couldn't help but get angry. Even more angry, Yuan Feng didn't even discuss it with him and said, "Sir, how can you easily leak such a big thing? Why do you make the city full of storms?"

Yuan Feng said tragically: "Three days ago, I received a secret letter from the governor of Jizhou, Lord Han Fu. Lord Han Fu mentioned the decree of the letter. I was quite moved. However, I did not say that this matter was known to anyone, and even Lord Situ did not dare to discuss it easily, but I didn't know how to leak the news?"

(Ma Yue is lucky. If Diao Chan spreads a rumor, it is really true.)

Huang Wan paused and said, "No matter how the news is leaked, I'd better think about how to deal with the upcoming crisis. Since this matter has spread throughout Luoyang, it will be known by the emperor sooner or later. If the emperor is angry, not only will we be implicated, but even the governor of Youzhou, Lord Liu Yu, may also suffer from the disaster. Alas~~"

...

The residence of Zhang Rang in the palace.

"Good opportunity!" said Guo Sheng, the Central Constable, "It's hard for Yuan Feng and the others to die this time, hehe~~"

Jian Shuo said: "That is, Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei and Huang Wan, the three old men, have always regarded men as thorns in their eyes and flesh. Why not take this opportunity to uproot this group of Qingliu Party? Men should see. When Yuan Feng, Huang Wan and others fall, who else dares to sing against us in the court?"

Zhao Zhong said: "But~ Although the decree and establishment have spread all over the city, the empress dowager does have a good impression of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. However, it is unknown whether this matter is true. If it is finally found out that it is purely a rumor and spread rumors, it may cause trouble. It will be unrestrained~~"

Xia Yun turned his attention to Zhang Rang and asked, "I wonder what Zhang Gong wants?"

After Xia Yun finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Rang. After all, Zhang Rang was still the leader, and Zhang Rang was often the one who had the final say.

Zhang Rang thought for a while and said in a voice: "This matter~~ I'd better try your best to talk about your Majesty first. If your Majesty is furious, it's just a chance to wipe out the party. The destruction of the establishment is a big deal. Even if Yuan Feng and the others don't die, they will have to take off a layer of skin! If Your Majesty thinks it's just a rumor, it's not advisable to act rashly, so as not to cause fire to burn yourself. What do you think?"

The eunuchs said in unison: "Zhang Gongming."

...

Luoyang Beigong, Han Ling Emperor's Sleeping Palace.

"Hateful, really hateful!"

Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong was full of anger and paced back and forth with his hands on his back. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong stood beside him. Two pairs of small eyes followed Liu Hong's footsteps and looked over, but they didn't dare to breathe.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have no great achievements, but I have no great mistakes. I work diligently in the government every day and dare not abandon it sometimes. All officials have the idea of ​​abolishing the establishment, which is very hateful!" Emperor Ling of Han suddenly stopped and said to Zhang Rang, "Zhang Rang, immediately investigate this case thoroughly, and issue a list of the imperial court and local officials involved, and punish it severely."

Zhang Rang said in a charming voice: "I obey the order. But~~"

Liu Hong frowned and said, "But what?"

Zhang Rang whispered: "All officials submitted a letter to the Empress Dowager to request the decree. Whether it is true or false, Your Majesty must prepare for the future and prepare early so as not to cause disaster and be caught off guard."

"Hmm!" Liu Hong's expression turned cold and said in a deep voice, "What should I do if I want my father?"

Zhang Rang said: "Although the old slave has not thoroughly investigated this case, from the analysis of the situation, there are many high-ranking officials in the court and local officials involved, including Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, Kong Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, as well as the chief officials of the three and nine ministers, including the Grand Tutor Yuan Feng, the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and the Situ Huang Wan. If His Majesty cut down with one sword, he would implicate the local officials and local officials and severely punish them, which would cause a mutiny and shake the root of the country.

Liu Hong said: "Well, I'm extremely worried about my father, I don't think so."

Zhang Rang said: "In my opinion, why not capture the thief first?"

Liu Hong said: "With the father's intention, I will give the emperor's uncle (Liu Yu) to death?"

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Hongwei said: "But~~~ The emperor's uncle is very trusted by the queen. If he wants to kill him, what should he do if his mother blames him?"

Zhang Rang said in a sinister voice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to get rid of Liu Yu and to prevent Your Majesty from being blamed by the Empress Dowager."

"Oh, what's the plan?"

"His Majesty has forgotten that there is a man-eating tiger lying in the wilderness of Youzhou!"

Liu Hong's face changed and he said in a terrifying manner: "Is it a matter of protecting the Wuhuan General - Ma Yue!?"

Zhang Rang said: "It's this person! Why don't Your Majesty use Ma Yue's sword to kill Liu Yu? In this way, even if the Empress Dowager is blamed, Your Majesty can blame Ma Yue."

"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!" Liu Hong said happily, "Just do what his father said, and immediately condemn the envoy to send him to Ning County for 800 miles in a secret order, and secretly ordered Ma Yue, the general of the Wuhuan Central Army, to secretly kill Liu Yu~~"

Zhang Rang said in a charming voice: "I obey the order~~"

...

The residence of Princess Yiyang, Liu Ming’s bedroom.

The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning vigorously. It was cold outside the palace, but it was as warm as spring. Liu Ming was wearing only a thin gauze on his body, curled up lazily on the embroidered stick, with his breasts and fat buttocks, his slender waist was unbearable to hold it, and his curves were exposed. The pink face that was bullying frost and snow showed a strong spring feeling~~

"Princess." The personal maid joked at the right time, "What kind of personal words did the general say in the letter? Hehe, can I let the servants take a look?"

"Treat death~"

Liu Ming raised his hand and wanted to hit him, but he looked unhappy.

"Oh, I won't dare to do it again."

The maid begs for mercy with a smile.

Liu Ming unfolded the silk book, and in just a moment, his pink face became cold and he said anxiously, "Oh. Ma Yue is really lawless. He didn't become his general when he went to Youzhou. He actually killed Uncle Liu. Alas, he has caused a huge disaster now. I don't know if I can help him escape this disaster~~"

"Ah~~" The maid was shocked and was stunned. "The general actually killed the emperor's uncle?"

Liu Ming quickly turned over and sat up. His bulging breasts suddenly surging, and the thin gauze was almost broken. He asked, "Lian'er, how long has this letter been sent?"

"It's been three days."

"What, it has been delivered three days ago!" Liu Ming said angrily. "Why did you just send it to me today?"

The maid Lian'er was so scared that she knelt down and cried, "I should die, I should die~~I think it's not a big deal, and the princess is accompanied by the emperor to hunt in the Hedong Palace. So she took advantage of her decision and detained it~~Xihe~~Princess, I won't dare to do it next time~~"

"Forget it, you can't blame you for this." Liu Ming sighed and ordered, "Lian'er, change my clothes quickly. I will come to the palace to meet the emperor's brother overnight."
