The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 344
The secret message from the embroidered messenger was quietly sent to the palace.

Liu Hong, who hadn't gone to court for nearly a month, finally reconvened the court meeting.

The news of Wang Fen's plot to abolish the emperor was known to all the people in the world, and no one could bear the emperor's wrath.

The embroidered clothes envoy was sent to Shouzhang County, as well as Nanyang County and Peiguo after the court meeting that day.

That is where the clans of Wang Fen, Xu You, and Zhou Jing are located.

Once the crime of treason is leaked, it will be a crime of death and family extermination!

Liu Hong returned to Houde Hall angrily, Zhang Rang wanted to follow him, but Liu Hong refused directly.

Liu Hong, who returned to the Hall of Houde, was still angry, and the rebellion of the border counties and prefectures was fine, but the state shepherd he entrusted with important tasks also betrayed him.

"As expected of a good subject of mine."

Liu Hong sat on the bed, looking at the bright place outside Houde Hall, a cold laugh came from his throat.

He no longer believed in those so-called upright gentlemen above the court.

Those courtiers who are hypocritical and hypocritical are only thinking about fighting for power and profit, and those who are full of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are actually all profit-seekers!
Liu Hong looked at the eunuch standing in Houde Hall, and the embroidered messenger, with suspicion in his eyes.

These people seem to have problems too. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong may have already penetrated into it, and these people on duty are likely to harm him.

In Liu Hong's mind, the idea of ​​calling Jian Shuo back to Beijing was born.

This originally familiar palace made Liu Hong feel a little scared.

"Cough...cough..."

Liu Hong coughed violently again. He covered his mouth with a white handkerchief, and the white handkerchief in his hand was stained with blood.

"Youzhou urgent report!"

A human voice suddenly came from outside Houde Hall.

Liu Hong's complexion changed slightly, and he spoke to an old eunuch standing beside him.

"Let him come in and report."

Liu Hong put the handkerchief back into his sleeve as if nothing had happened.

The small door of Houde Hall opened a little, and an embroidered messenger in armor hurried into Houde Hall.

"read."

Liu Hong didn't say much, just spit out a word indifferently.

The embroidered messenger who delivered the letter didn't even dare to lift his head, and didn't dare to look directly at the sky.

"Shanggu County and Dai County were attacked by Wuhuan cavalry at the same time. Taihang bandits came out from Feihuxing and now occupy Dai County."

Liu Hong's face was frosty, and he sneered: "This is my loyal minister and good general. He lost his land and lost his city. What a loyal minister and a good general."

The embroidered emissary did not dare to raise his head or speak.

Another violent cough stopped Liu Hong's cursing.

"Get rid of that trash Youzhou Mu, and seal Liu Yu as Youzhou Mu, in charge of Youzhou affairs."

Liu Hong was half lying on the couch, and said sharply.

"Directly issue an edict!"

"promise."

The embroidered clothes emissary trembled all over, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly exited Houde Hall after receiving Liu Hong's order.

Liu Hong withdrew his gaze and looked at the map on the desk, his face slowly turned cold.

That is the territory map of the Han Dynasty.

On the map, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou have been painted with other colors.

The area belonging to red is slowly shrinking.

In Changsha, Yizhou, and inland, there are countless large and small patterns and colors.

The Han Empire is like a big pie.

Three parts were bitten off in the north, and in the center, there were many moths biting it and it was riddled with holes.

Liu Hong suddenly wondered why the formerly powerful man suddenly became so weak.

The holes and gaps seemed to be mocking his incompetence.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in Liu Hong's heart.

He felt a little ridiculous.

He felt that his life seemed like a joke.

He thought that the world was peaceful, that the world was prosperous, and that the world of the great man was as stable as Mount Tai.

There are Sanming in Liangzhou, Huangfugui, Zhang Huan, and Duan Jiong are there, there are central forbidden troops, and local strong troops are there. Foreigners and Xiaoxiao who dare to commit trouble can be killed immediately.

Even if Liangzhou Sanming and other veterans died one after another, there are still Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and others in the court as his arms.

Although there was a Yellow Turban Rebellion, millions of Yellow Turbans were wiped out in an instant.

Isn't the big man supposed to be a country forever?
But why, exactly when did the world become like this?
The government is changing day by day, the people are in dire straits, foreign aggression, and the open and dark arrows above the court have not been cut off.

Liu Hong propped his hands on the desk, looking at the devastated map of the territory of the Great Han in front of him, he felt a little mocking.

When he was indulging in pleasure, the world was peaceful, but now he is working hard to govern, setting up a new army, and establishing an embroidered messenger, the great man is in decline.

Liu Hong's eyes stayed on the yellow area.

That is the area of ​​Bingzhou, where the Yellow Turban Army occupies.

"Xu An..."

Liu Hong muttered in a low voice.

It seemed like things started to go bad when he first heard the name.

As the number of times he heard Xu An increased, the situation of the big man became worse day by day.

"Xu An!"

Liu Hong pressed his hands on the desk, his eyes widened, bloodshot eyes.

He stared at the yellow territory, his eyes were full of anger.

If Zhu Jun hadn't died, if he hadn't lost the [-]-odd army in Hanoi.

Then Shangdang County can also be retained, and Bingzhou and Hedong County will not be taken away by it.

Liu Hong looked at the position of Taihang Mountain, and suddenly a trace of annoyance appeared in his heart.

He shouldn't have listened to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's nonsense and transferred Huangfu Song to Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion.

If Huangfusong was still there, the result might be completely different.

Huangfusong obeyed his words, and would definitely try his best to attack Taihang Mountain, and annihilated Xu An before it developed.

But remorse can't change history. The reality is that Wang Fen was completely perfunctory about the campaign, and as a result, sat and watched the Yellow Turban Army's power in Taihang Mountain expand step by step and develop step by step.

Finally became a behemoth, and became the confidant of the big man.

Before he knew it, the big man was getting closer and closer to the abyss.

"The Son of Heaven..."

Liu Hong was a little taken aback. He looked at the map on the desk, and smiled sadly with trembling lips.

"It's ridiculous..."

He thought that He Jin was a fool and could be controlled by him, but He Jin was controlled by the party members.

And the ten permanent servants who were supposed to be loyal to him also joined He Jin's camp.

Liu Hong was lying on the desk, and the illness was tormenting him all the time.

But it also made his thoughts very clear.

Huang Fugui, Zhang Huan, Duan Jiong, Zhu Jun, Yang Ci, Qiao Xuan, Chen Dan, Liu Tao...

Those courtiers who fought for him and those who remonstrated in front of him loomed in front of his eyes.

Liu Hong felt ashamed in his heart, he was really ashamed to face these loyal courtiers, he was really ashamed to see his ancestors under the nine springs.

Howling winds blew past the palace.

Liu Hong raised his head and looked outside the hall. Although the outside of the hall was bright, the light did not penetrate too much into the Hall of Houde, and the hall was still in darkness.

The palace lanterns in the hall emitted a dim light.

Listening to the howling wind outside the window, Liu Hong felt that his body became lighter and lighter.
