I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 50 The Butterfly Effect
"What happened just now, no one is allowed to spread it..."

In the corner of the corridor outside the Chongde Hall, Zhao Chun told the three little eunuchs in front of him with a serious expression.

And Zhang Rang, who was beside him, squinted his eyes even more, and threatened with a gloomy expression: "If our family hears any news about today's events, we will all have your heads off! Do you understand?!"

"Understood, little one."

Although the three little eunuchs were all arranged by Zhang Rang in the Chongde Hall, they were still trembling with fright, obedient.

But at this time in the hall, Lu Zhi was frowning and looking at the memorial that made Liu Bian furious, and his expression was not very good-looking.

How could his complexion be good-looking?
The Liangzhou Kingdom, Han Sui, and Ma Teng rebelled, Jingzhou District Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi rebelled, and Youzhou Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju rebelled. There are all kinds of chaos, attacking and killing the prefect, killing officials and massacring the people.

Of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, four of them fell into rebellion, and Lu Zhi also felt extremely painful.

However, after taking a deep breath, Lu Zhi still calmed down, looked at Liu Bian who had calmed down after the case on the opposite table, and persuaded: "The more critical the situation is, the more you must calm down. Shihou should know that one day You are the backbone of the entire imperial court, and only if you are not chaotic, will the subordinates not be chaotic."

"What Master Lu said was that I lost my composure just now."

Liu Bian, who calmed down, admitted his mistake frankly.

In fact, he actually knew that there would be such a rebellion in Bingzhou, and even knew that Ding Yuan had emerged in this rebellion, and was recommended by General He Jinxiang as the governor of Bingzhou to replace Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou.

It's just that the successive rebellions made him lose his mind, so he vented his anger in the Chongde Hall inappropriately. Fortunately, most of the people in the hall are his own people. The three young eunuchs in the palace are also Zhang Rang's people, and a warning should make them shut up.

As for the rebellion in Bingzhou, even if Liu Bian did not intervene, Ding Yuan could still solve it. Not to mention that he had already issued a military order in the memorial he sent, just looking at his outstanding performance in history is enough for Liu Bian to hand over the matter to him. to him.

But having said that, is this an opportunity to transfer Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu away?
You must know that Liu Bian was considering this matter when Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled before. As a result, He Jin, Yuan Shao and others recommended Zhonglang General Meng Yi, so what about this time?
Are there enough generals in the court?

You must know that the Bingzhou rebellion was the rebellion of Xiutu Gehu, and most of the rebels were Hu cavalry, which was very different from the rebels of Ou Xing, Zhou Dynasty, and Guo Shi, who were mostly peasant soldiers. A prefect can put down, otherwise Sun Jian would not have put down the rebellion after only one month in office in history.

In other words, Bingzhou must at least send generals at the rank of Zhonglang General and Colonel General this time.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian pretended to be worried and tested Lu Zhi: "Master Lu, are there any generals like Meng Yi Zhonglang in the court who are capable of leading troops to fight against thieves?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi also showed a pensive expression, thinking about the suitable candidate.

Seeing this, Liu Bian pretended to think for a moment, and then pretended to be pleasantly surprised: "If you want to send a powerful minister to lead the army to attack Xiutu Gehu, why not send Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonggong brothers?"

"Yuan Benchu? Yuan Gonglu?" Lu Zhi showed hesitation on his face: "Although the Yuan brothers are well-known, they have no experience in leading an army before. I'm afraid they will be entrusted to someone else..."

"How come?" Liu Bian pretended to praise: "I heard that Yuan's four generations and three princes are mostly outstanding. There is also that man named Ding Yuan over there, who has made clear statements in his memorial. As long as the imperial court allows him to lead the army in Bingzhou, he is very sure to put down the Hus, and the Yuan brothers will surely succeed immediately with his assistance. "

At this time Zhang Rang and Zhao Chun had returned to the palace, upon hearing what Liu Bian said, Zhang Rang rolled his eyes slightly, and echoed, "Lu Shangshu, the old minister thinks what Shi Hou said is very true!"

What are you talking about?
Liu Bian frowned without leaving any trace, but still stared at Lu Zhi with surprise.

Just as he was worried, Lu Zhi glanced at Zhang Rang suspiciously, and then turned his gaze to him again, with a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "Your Highness...do you want the old minister to recommend Yuan Benchu ​​or Yuan Gonglu?"

Liu Bian knew that Lu Zhi sensed something was wrong, but he believed that Lu Zhi would choose to trust him with a bottom line, so he said seriously: "It would be best if Master Lu could recommend it."

"..."

Sure enough, Lu Zhi watched Liu Bian delicately for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, the court will discuss tomorrow, and the veteran will recommend Yuan Benchu ​​or Yuan Gonglu."

Hearing this, Liu Bian clenched his fist with his right hand hidden in his sleeve.

At this time, Zhang Rang bid farewell to Liu Bian: "The old minister should also return to His Majesty's side."

During this time, Emperor Ling hung out in Qingliang Hall every day, accompanied by Zhang Rang, and came here in person today because he received Ding Yuan's memorial.

Seeing this, Liu Bian's heart moved slightly, he stood up and said, "I'll send you off to Lord Zhong."

Zhang Rang was taken aback, but he didn't refuse. When Liu Bian sent him outside the hall, he bowed and asked Liu Bian, "What does Your Highness want to tell the old minister?"

Liu Bian was not surprised by Zhang Rang's sensitivity. After nodding his head, he lowered his voice and said, "Later, Mr. Zhang can find an opportunity to report Ding Yuan's memorial to his father, but let Mr. Lu go to recommend the Yuan brothers. Do."

"..."

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bian in surprise, and then seemed to realize something, restrained his surprise and confessed: "The old minister is confused, and his eagerness almost missed Shi Hou's plan."

After finishing speaking, he worried again: "Just now Lu Shangshu..."

"It's okay."

Liu Bian shook his head and interrupted Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang understood, and bowed to Liu Bian to say goodbye. He didn't stop until he had walked tens of feet, looked back at the Chongde Hall, and said to himself: "Shi Hou really doesn't like the Yuan brothers..."

After muttering to himself, he walked briskly to Qingliang Hall and reported the rebellion in Bingzhou to Emperor Ling.

Sure enough, Emperor Ling was very frightened and angry, and immediately ordered the establishment of a dynasty the next day to discuss the rebellion in Bingzhou.

On the side of the Chongde Hall, Lu Zhi summoned Xun You, the servant of the Huangmen, and ordered the latter to hand over Ding Yuan's memorial to General He Jin for review.

Near sunset, Liu Bian and Lu Zhi walked out of the hall together.

During the period, Lu Zhi took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and asked Liu Bian, "Does Shihou have any prejudices against Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonggong brothers?"

Hearing this, Liu Bian didn't know how to answer.

Could he tell Lu Zhi that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's success was more than failure, which triggered the Luoyang Palace Change, made Dong Zhuo take the opportunity to take over the court, and caused the fall of the Han Dynasty?
Isn't this crazy?The reputation of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers is quite good now.

"How could it be?" Liu Bian said with a smile, "I just think that someone with weight is needed to quell the rebellion in Bingzhou...Master Lu, please trust me."

"..."

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bian without saying a word, nodded for a long time and said, "I understand, I will recommend brother Yuan Benchu ​​in the court meeting tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master Lu." Liu Bian arched his hands solemnly, as if admitting something in disguise.

Lu Zhi nodded, and immediately took his leave and left.

Seeing his disappointment, Liu Bian felt a little guilty, but he really didn't know how to explain it to Lu Zhi.

"You'll understand later. 』

He said inwardly.

Around Si time the next day, Emperor Ling set up a court in Chongde Hall and summoned his ministers to discuss the rebellion in Bingzhou.

When Emperor Ling asked the ministers for their opinions, Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Bian, who was standing at the top, and came out to report: "Your Majesty, I think the court should send a famous minister to Bingzhou, and I recommend Captain Sili." Yuan Benchu, or Huben Zhonglang general Yuan Gonglu."

"..."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu suddenly turned their heads to look at Lu Zhi when they heard the words, they were astonished that Lu Zhi actually stabbed them in the back.

Don't think that it is a very honorable thing to be the governor of Bingzhou, at least Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't think that, now that one of them is the captain of Sili and the other is the general of Huben, which one doesn't need the high position of governor of Bingzhou?How could the two brothers be willing to leave Gyeonggi just because of the position of Governor of Bingzhou?

The rest of the ministers of the DPRK and China were also amazed and talked a lot.

"No!"

At this moment, General He Jin noticed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's pleading for help, and he opened his mouth and said, "The situation is not stable today. Yuan Benchu, as the captain of Sili, shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending the capital, so he should not be taken lightly. Yuan Gonglu is a tiger. General Zhonglang is His Majesty's guardian when he travels, so he must not leave him lightly."

Seeing this, Liu Bian secretly scolded He Jin for being troublesome, and was troubled by not being able to support Lu Zhi so as not to be suspected. He was thinking about it, but he did not expect Hussar General Dong Zhong to give him a wave of help: "Your Majesty, I think Lu Zhi What Shangshu said is very true, the rebellion in Bingzhou must send a famous minister, and Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonggong are the most suitable because of their high positions."

After a pause, he added: "It would be best if the general goes out in person."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't dare to get angry with Lu Zhi, but they didn't have any worries about Dong Zhong. Immediately, Yuan Shao sneered and said, "Dong Huanqi may have selfish intentions!"

Then the two sides quarreled, and the quarrel made Emperor Ling dizzy, and ended the palace meeting that day under sullenness.

"It seems that it is not so easy to transfer Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu away from Luoyang.I have to think of a way..."

When leaving, Liu Bian was thinking about ways to transfer the two of them away.

However, until Liu Bian returned to Chongde Hall again in the afternoon, he didn't think of any clues. Instead, he saw Zhang Rang standing outside the hall again.

"Mr. Zhang, don't make fun of me..."

Liu Bian's complexion changed.

Zhang Rang was startled, and then seemed to realize something, and quickly said with a smile: "No, Your Highness, this is a happy event. The old minister saw that His Highness has been worried these days, so I got the good news today, and I specially waited for it again."

After finishing speaking, he took out a memorial and handed it to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian took the memorial and looked at the signature. Seeing that it said "Changsha Taishou Wang Kuang", he remembered the good news Zhang Rang said, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Looking through the memorial, it was really good news. In the memorial, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Changsha, said that he defeated Ou Xing and killed Ou Xing in Lingling Zhaoyang...

"it is good!"

Liu Bian applauded loudly, and was about to say in his heart, "Sun Jian is not necessarily necessary", when he suddenly saw a name in Wang Kuang's follow-up content of praising his generals, and couldn't help being stunned.
