Chapter 144: Good fortune is the basis of misfortune

Late at night, Emperor Ling of Han’s bedroom.

Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hongzheng was sulking with a slight face, while Empress Fu was beside him and persuaded him kindly.

"Your Majesty, it's not worth it to be so angry about the trivial matters~~"

"Oh, Queen~~" Liu Hong sighed, "This time it is not a trivial matter, but a major event that will harm the country~~"

"What is the major event that has caused trouble to the country?" Queen Fu asked in a low voice, "Can I listen?"

"Of course, now I can only talk to you about my worries." Liu Hong sighed, "This time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who have always been loyal to me, have spoken for the butcher of horses. My sister, Princess Yiyang, Liu Ming, even said in my ears that the butcher of horses are good."

Queen Fu burst into laughter and said, "Since ancient times, heroes love beauty, but why don't beauties love heroes? Yumei has taken a fancy to General Ma Yue, but to be honest, General Ma Yue has a bad experience, in addition to having a disgraceful experience, both in family background and talent and martial arts, he can be a good match for the princess."

"How can I not know what Yu Mei is thinking?" Liu Hong said muffled, "But that Ma Yue not only had a disgraceful experience. Last time in Youzhou, Ma Yue sent troops to attack and kill the emperor without my permission. I saw that Yu Mei and Zhang Rang and their face were open to the Internet and would not pursue it. Unexpectedly, this time, he actually dared to collude with the Huns to attack and kill my old minister~~ Let the Huns General Zhang Huan!"

Queen Fu said in surprise: "General Ma Yue colluded with the Huns to attack and kill the veteran General Zhang Huan? This~~"

Liu Hong said: "Although Ma Yue and Ding Yuan have their own words, I still don't know what the truth is, but it is true that Ma Yue sent troops to attack Hetao without authorization! He was a general who protected the Wuhuan Central Army and led his army to attack and occupy Hetao. What is he trying to do? Hetao was not the king of the Han Dynasty, but he led the Han army to settle here. What is he trying to do? He wants to build a foreign country. Are he on par with me? I heard that Yufuluo Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu once named him the king of Zici, so should I also be named "Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side

Queen Fu was even more surprised and said, "Ah, General Ma Yue led his army to attack and occupy the Hetao land?"

"If you really want to talk about it, it's nothing. No matter how ambition Ma Yue is, he can only dominate the border and wasteland. No matter how much he makes trouble, he can't make the world." Liu Hong sighed, "But what really makes me feel disappointed is Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who are still talking nice things for Ma Yue. I am really disappointed. I respect Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong like their parents, but they are actually in love with Ma Yue and colluding with him~~"

"flat!"

Speaking of his anger, Liu Hong slapped the imperial desk with a heavy palm, making a loud noise, and Queen Fu was shocked. A trace of murderous intent was faintly seen from Liu Hong's eyes.

Just at this moment, a little eunuch came in and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, General He Jin, Situ Wang Yun asked for a meeting~~"

Liu Hong's face turned aloud and said, "Hurry up~"

...

That night, the Red Building in Luoyang.

Situ Wang Yun, who was already drunk, appeared on Diao Chan Dixiu Building with the help of two maids.

After coming upstairs, Wang Yun made a drink, drunken eyes, and the more he looked, the more he felt Diao Chan was so beautiful. In addition, he was in a good mood today, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch Diao Chan's cheeks, and laughed lowly: "Cicada, my good cicada is so beautiful, hehe~~"

Diao Chan twisted her slender waist and floated away like a beautiful butterfly. She giggled and said, "Sir Zi, you are drunk."

"Drunk? Uh~~No~~No~No~No, I am not drunk~~" Wang Yun said drunkenly, "I am happy today, ha~~Happy~~It's been a long time since I was as happy as today, hehe~~"

Diao Chan's expression moved, and she helped Wang Yun sit down on the embroidery couch, exhaling like an orchid and asked, "I wonder why Master Zi is so happy. Let me tell you, are you happy together?"

Wang Yun stretched out his hand to cover Diao Chan's slender waist and smiled and said, "Tell you the truth, something big is going to happen!"

"What a big deal?"

"I don't know if I tell you. You women's family don't know what national affairs are, hehe~~" Wang Yun said with a low smile, "The spring night is worth a thousand gold at a moment, but we are still~~"

"Oh, Master Zi, why are you anxious?"

Diao Chan hid away like a butterfly again. Wang Yun hugged the sky, hugged a mandarin duck pillow on the embroidery couch, and then went to the edge of his nose and sniffed hard.

"Sir, if you don't say anything, the little girl will leave."

"Oh, don't leave, okay, that's the official will tell you, you~~ It's such a tangled little goblin, I like to ask about the movements in the court." Wang Yun took a breath, his face suddenly turned up, and he said, "It's really unbelievable to say that since Zi was seriously ill today, he has become more diligent than before. He has stopped going to the naked swimming pool in Xiyuan, and~~"

“And what?”

"And it's much more wise than before! The good days of the Ten Eunuchs are coming to an end. Late last night, the emperor urgently summoned the official and the general to the palace. Someone is going to be in trouble~~"

"Who? Who is going to be in trouble?"

"Who else can be there? Of course, it's the lawless butcher of horse and horse who acted recklessly!" Wang Yun said, "This time, the emperor is much more arduous in dealing with things. Although there is no big move on the surface, he secretly mobilized four armies and advanced together, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Ma Yue army in the Hetao area in one fell swoop!"

"Four-way army! Which four-way army?"

Wang Yun frowned and said, "Uh~~What are you doing if you ask so clearly?"

Diao Chan said softly: "No~~it's nothing, I'm just asking casually."

"Come here, you."

Wang Yun smiled and pressed Diao Chan down on the embroidery couch, then rode up and touched her hands, and Diao Chan giggled and wanted to refuse, but she looked like a seductive charm.

...

That night, General He Jin's mansion.

Xu Youshi Ran bowed to He Jin and said respectfully: "I'm here~~~See General."

He Jin stepped forward and helped Xu You up, and smiled and said, "Zi Yuan, please give up your gift, come. Come and take your seat."

The two of them took a seat with the guest and Xu You said, "The general saw the summoning late at night, but he didn't know what was important?"

He Jin did not answer, and after a while he sighed, "I am in a difficult situation and I don't know how to make a decision."

Xu You said: "I wonder what the general is trying to make things difficult for him?"

He Jindao: "The emperor has appointed this general as the captain of the military, and he is in charge of the new army in Xiyuan with Jian Shuo, and Zhou Mi is also appointed as the leader of Jinwu and the imperial guards. The ten regular attendants have lost their power and are no longer afraid of it."

Xu You was shocked and said seriously: "This is a great joy. I would like to congratulate the General and congratulate the General."

He Jin said: "Ziyuan, please congratulate me slowly. I have not yet mentioned any difficulties."

"Want to hear about it?"

"The emperor intends to send troops to attack Ma Yue, and I feel extremely unbearable."

"Strike Ma Yue?" Xu You turned his eyes and said, "I think Ma Yue should be attacked!"

"Oh, should we fight?"

"Ma Yue took over the Wuhuan people, and recently obtained the Hetao land and the Xiongnu people. The population was hundreds of thousands and the number of thousands of people who controlled the string. If he was allowed to do so, the surrounding areas would be slaughtered by Hu, Yuezhi Hu, Qin Hu, and even the Xianbei in the north would be merged sooner or later, and then he would be able to drive hundreds of thousands of cavalry south. How could the Han Dynasty resist?"

"The reason why the general supported Ma Yue and decided on the checks and balances was to use Ma Yue to check and balance when foreign soldiers entered the Qing dynasty in the future. But now Ma Yue's army is powerful and far superior to Dong Zhuo, and he has the potential to lose control. He should indeed slash his spirit."

He Jin suddenly said, "If it weren't for Ziyuan's reminder, this general would have almost missed the big thing!"

Xu You said: "But I don't know who the emperor wants to send to ask for it?"

He Jindao: "The emperor planned to issue an order to grant Ma Yue the title of General of the Central Army to protect the Xiongnu to stabilize his heart and to slacken his ambitions. Later, he secretly ordered Dong Zhuo, General of the Qiang, Geng Bi, Geng Bi, Geng Yuan, Gingzhou, Ding Yuan, Geng Yuan, Geng Zhou, and Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to advance in all directions, attacking Ma Yue's army in one fell swoop."

"The four armies of the army are all in an effort to encircle and suppress them!" Xu You was startled and silent for a while before he said coldly, "General, the emperor's move is very thoughtful!"

"Oh?" He Jin said, "I hope to hear the details."

Xu You said: "I think that the attack on Ma Yue is just a pretext. Taking the opportunity to weaken the northern states, the military strength of the emperor is the real purpose of the emperor!"

"oh?"

Xu You said: "Although all the troops involved in the siege have secret orders from the emperor, they cannot be publicized to the outside world, so they can only act in secret. They have no righteousness and no title, so this can only be regarded as a melee between warlords, a war destined to have no winner! No matter who wins in the end, they cannot be regarded as a winner."

He Jin said inexplicably: "A war without a winner?"

Xu You said: "In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, recruited volunteer soldiers in the name of fighting the bandits. He had 80,000 elite soldiers, but he still refused to condemn them! Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, started his career in the fight against the bandits of the Black Mountains, and also had 50,000 elite soldiers. Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, guarded the frontier for a long time, and had quite a few elite soldiers under his command. Dong Zhuoxin, the general of the Qiang Guardian, surrendered Han Sui, and his troops were in full swing. The troops were in full swing. Like Ma Yue, all of these four states had the potential to be too big to lose."

He Jinshen agreed and said, "What Ziyuan said is very reasonable. Although the emperor knew that Han Fu had the intention to support Liu Yu, he could do nothing to him. He was afraid of the 80,000 elite soldiers under his command."

"Han Fu, Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Geng Bi and others have self-respecting troops and are ambitious. They may not always abide by the emperor's orders, but the situation is quite different this time." Xu You said this, took out a topographic map from his arms, pointed to the Hetao location on the map and said, "General, please see, this is Hetao. The Hetao water and grass are abundant, the land is fertile, and there is a natural danger in the Great Wall. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In order to compete for the Hetao land, Han Fu and others will definitely do their best and are unwilling to be the last resort. The emperor's move is a hit to the point of human nature and is impressive."

He Jin said in a narrow voice: "Zi Yuan's words mean that the winner in the end is today's son?"

"No, the emperor is not the final winner." Xu You sighed, "Once the melee breaks out, Ma Yue, Dong Zhuo, Geng Bi, Ding Yuan, and Han Fu's state divisions have suffered losses of troops and generals and their strength has been greatly damaged, but the national strength of the Han Dynasty will also be severely damaged, especially the elite troops stationed in the north may be completely destroyed, and the national power will plummet~~"

....

Xihe County, Meiji.

Ma Yue frowned and asked, "Wenhe, haven't the angel sent by the imperial court arrived yet?"

Jia Xu said: "According to the revelation of the horse, it is still in Bingzhou."

Guo Tu just arrived from Ning County and couldn't help but say, "Lord, the angel's journey is so slow that he only traveled more than a hundred miles in half a month. It's really against the ordinary. Is there another mystery in this?"

Ma Yue said sternly: "Is there something wrong in the court?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say at the moment."

"Report~~" As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Dian Wei rushed into the tent and said loudly, "Lord, a woman who claims to be an old friend in Luoyang is asking for a visit."

"An old friend in Luoyang?" Ma Yue stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and invite you!"

"Affect the order."

Dian Wei took the order and left. Then a figure flashed outside the tent. The beautiful shadow was graceful. A graceful figure had already walked into the tent. Only a thin gauze covered her delicate face, making it hard to see the true face of Mount Lu. However, Ma Yue still recognized the woman's body and manners. Who else would be there if it were Diao Chan?

"Diao Chan?"

"The little woman's original surname is Ren and her name is Hongchang." The woman bowed a little, and said to Ma Yue, "Diao Chan is the stage name shared by the little woman and her maid Chan'er. She had hidden something before, so I hope the general will forgive her."

Ma Yue said calmly: "It's okay, Miss Diao Chan came to Hetao in person this time, but what happened in the court?"

Diao Chan said in a narrow voice: "Don't you know that the general is already in trouble?"

Ma Yue frowned and said, "What did you say?"

Diao Chan said: "Today, General He Jin was appointed as the captain of the army, and Jian Shuo was in charge of the new army in Xiyuan. He also appointed Zhou Mi, the chief lieutenant of Jinwu and the imperial guards. The ten regular attendants had lost their power! He also secretly ordered the governor of Jizhou Han Fu, the governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan, the governor of Liangzhou Geng Bi, and the general of the Qiang Guardian Dong Zhuo to attack the general from the east and west."
