The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 304
Zhongping four years, December.

In the main hall of Luoyang Imperial Palace, Liu Hong sat on the top seat with a frosty face.

"Good, good, good!"

After listening to the report, Liu Hong couldn't help laughing out of anger.

"I heard that all the princes in the court are extremely wise, and they can rule the world with their bows."

"The rebellion in Youzhou, the rebellion in Changsha, and the rebellion in Liangzhou and Liangzhou have not been eliminated. At this critical moment, why did the two places rebel again?!"

Liu Hong glared at the courtiers, suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice.

"That Zhangju, what a guts! But a mere prefect dares to call himself the 'Son of Heaven'!"

In the main hall, all the courtiers were silent.

In the wrath of the emperor, millions of dead bodies were laid down and blood flowed for thousands of miles.

Liu Hong has never been a good emperor, and the two disasters of party imprisonment are vivid in his mind.

Moreover, in recent days, Liu Hong has reactivated the notorious "Embroidered Clothes Envoy".

Liu Hong appointed Wei Qianshuo of the Shangjun Academy to be in charge of the embroidered emissary.

In just a few short months, more than a dozen people have already been captured by the Embroidered Clothes Emissary and locked into prisons.

Those embroidered messengers directly obeyed the emperor's orders and were directly responsible to the emperor.

Cold as ice, without the slightest sympathy.

Not only has the original embroidered clothes envoy's duties, but also has a lot of power.

Supervising officials, relatives, extravagance, over-control, and illegal things.

Most of the candidates for the embroidered clothes envoy were Qian Shuo or Liu Hong himself.

Embroidered clothes emissary, wantonly recruiting rangers, capable people and strange people.

They appear and disappear almost everywhere, and even the conversations of officials at home cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the embroidered messengers.

This also reminded people in the ruling and opposition circles of the famous Eagle Wolf Guard who now occupies the Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou.

For a while, the officials in Luoyang City were all in danger.

Even in his own courtyard, he dare not act recklessly.

"How about this matter!"

Liu Hong's angry questioning voice reached the ears of the officials in the hall.

Because of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's great rebellion, the Taiwei Cui Lie, who had just taken office for more than a few months, became a scapegoat and had been dismissed by Liu Hong.

And the embroidered clothes envoy was sent to Youzhou to arrest those defeated generals.

Lu Zhi thought for a while, then stood up.

Seeing Lu Zhi get up, Liu Hong's anger subsided slightly.

Lu Zhi cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"The Star Rebellion in Changsha District gathered tens of thousands of people. The inland county soldiers were too many to fight, and the county guards were incompetent, so they couldn't resist it."

"I thought that we only need to send a strong general to calm down."

"Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, the Sima of the other Ministry, has a reputation for bravery in the army and is known as the 'Tiger'. Moreover, he is a Shouchun family who also had reforms in the south. The minister appointed him to be in charge of counter-insurgency matters."

Liu Hong frowned, listening to Lu Zhi's words.

He has heard about Sun Jian a lot. The first time he heard about it seems to be in Huangfusong's request for meritorious service after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down.

It was because of this merit that Sun Jian was promoted from Sima of Zuojun to Sima of other tribes.

The second time I heard about it was during the battle of Sunflower City.

Thinking of the Battle of Kuicheng, Liu Hong's complexion changed slightly.

That battle reminded him again of the feeling that Bo Cai led the Yellow Turban Army into Sili.

That life-threatening feeling.

However, although he was defeated in the battle of Kuicheng, Sun Jian was indeed a suitable candidate, and his prestige in the south was quite high.

If Sun Jian is sent to counter the rebellion, a large part of the cost of conscription, recruitment, and transfer of troops can be left over, and only a position needs to be granted to Sun Jian to recruit troops on the spot.

"What does the captain think?"

Liu Hong turned his head to look at Taiwei Cao Song who was sitting beside him, and asked.

Cui Lie was dismissed, but the position of Taiwei was bought by Cao Song at a sky-high price of [-] million yuan.

Regarding Cao Song, who gave him a huge amount of property, Liu Hong's words were relatively kind.

Cao Song, as a Taiwei, should be in charge of military transfers, including the county pawns, military salaries, supplies and other matters.

But Liu Hong is strong, he just bought the position of Taiwei, so naturally he never refuted Liu Hong's words.

Cao Song saluted first, then stood up and spoke slowly.

"I think that Sun Wentai's bravery is extraordinary, and he should be responsible for the suppression of the rebellion in Changsha, so there should be no worries."

Of course, Cao Song had heard about Sun Jian's deeds.

Although he was defeated in Kuicheng, his previous military exploits were solid.

He didn't have any good candidates right now, and Liu Hong was quite partial to Sun Jian, so he followed Liu Hong's words.

Liu Hong is naturally quite satisfied.

So the candidate for the counter-insurgency was directly decided.

"Let Sun Wentai lead his troops south to suppress the rebellion."

"The prefect of Changsha did nothing and let the rebels run rampant. He was dismissed and replaced by Sun Wentai."

Regarding Liu Hong's appointment, all the ministers had no objection, and they all agreed.

"As for Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun..."

Talking about Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, Liu Hong's complexion suddenly became gloomy again.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun transferred letters to the prefectures and counties, claiming that Zhang Ju would replace the Han Dynasty as the emperor, and asked him to abdicate and let the ministers please Zhang Ju.

But it touched Liu Hong's bottom line.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Bingzhou, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops under Xu An's command invaded Bingzhou and killed the powerful.

He just felt threatened to a certain extent, but the threat dissipated as the number of guards increased.

Liangzhou rebelled, Han Sui gathered tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry, attacked counties and counties, colluded with powerful forces, and invaded Sanfu.

The defeat of the counter-rebellion army and the massive rebellion made Liu Hong feel the pressure, so he transferred the main force of the Han army to the west.

But these Liu Hongs are actually not very anxious. In Liu Hong's view, Liangzhou and Bingzhou, two state capitals with a population of less than one million, just occupy a favorable location. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Empire has not recovered. Come here, the noisy ones are more fun.

He has collected a lot of money now, and he is training a new army. With the increase of the army, sooner or later he will recover the lost ground.

But Zhang Ju's actions completely ignited Liu Hong's anger.

Claiming to be the "Son of Heaven" to replace him as emperor...

Han Sui and Xu An claimed to be just generals.

Cao Song had already received Qian Shuo's instruction before going to court, and immediately recommended him.

"My minister Ju Zongzheng Liu Yu is in charge of the counter-insurgency affairs in Youzhou. Liu Bo'an is well-known in the north, and most Wuhuan people respect him, and he is proficient in military strategy and has outstanding achievements."

Liu Hong waited for a while, seeing no objection, he said immediately.

"Since this is the case, Liu Yu will be appointed as Beizhong Lang General, in charge of counter-insurgency matters, assisting the left school lieutenant Zhao Rong, and assisting the right school lieutenant Feng Fang to lead the forbidden army to help you and go to Youzhou to suppress the rebellion."

The ministers promised.

Liu Hong stood up and said coldly.

"The rest of the matter will be discussed later!"

Then he took Zhang Rang and his party out of the hall directly.

A group of embroidered clothes envoys outside the hall followed Liu Hong's footsteps.

The group of people just disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lu Zhi stood quietly on the spot, looking at Liu Hongyuan's back, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Internal and external troubles, the once powerful and powerful man is now riddled with holes, how can we not make people worry.
