I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 51
Yellow cover?

how come?
Huang Gai was Sun Jian's general in history...

Could it be the same name?
Liu Bian opened his eyes wide and looked at the memorial, which also contained Wang Kuang's brief description of Huang Gai's background.

Huang Gai, whose style name is Gongfu, was born in Quanling, Lingling. He used to be a magistrate of Lingling County. When Wang Kuang pursued Ou Xing, he was ordered by Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, to lead an army to assist Wang Kuang. Kuang appreciated it and asked him to be a captain.Later, when he pursued Ou Xing together with Wang Kuang, he cut off Ou Xing's way to go to Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi, and beheaded him in Zhaoyang, Lingling.

After reading Wang Kuang's memorial, Liu Bian realized that Huang Gai was indeed Huang Gai and Huang Gongfu, the generals under Sun Jian's command in history.

Originally, Liu Bian didn't know exactly when Huang Gai became Sun Jian's general in history, but now he knows that it was when Sun Jian became the prefect of Changsha to conquer the three thieves Ou Xing, Zhou Dynasty, and Guo Shi, and this time Wang Kuang replaced him. Sun Jian served as the prefect of Changsha to conquer the three thieves in Ou Xing. This made Huang Gai miss the opportunity to meet Sun Jian, but was unexpectedly appreciated by Wang Kuang.

To be precise, it is not surprising that Wang Kuang appreciated Huang Gai. After all, Wang Kuang was also good at finding talents in history. When he was appointed as the prefect of Hanoi, he recruited Fang Yue and Han Hao as generals.

But this time, Wang Kuang lost Fang Yue and Han Hao without accident, but got Huang Gai. Liu Bian didn't know whether he had made a profit or a loss. Han Hao is not bad either, the former is brave to win the three armies, and the latter is good at commanding the army, so it may not be worse than Huang Gai.

Of course, this kind of comparison is meaningless. The key is to sound the alarm for Liu Bian: once he intervenes in the historical process, history will change accordingly. There will also be changes.

This made Liu Bian immediately think of the Bingzhou rebellion that is currently being debated between the DPRK and China.

Do you really want to transfer Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu to Bingzhou to suppress the rebellion?
You must know that there are not only Ding Yuan in Bingzhou, but also Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang and others. If Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu went to Bingzhou, they might take advantage of the opportunity to recruit these people. Wouldn't this be shooting yourself in the foot?
Liu Bian immediately gave up trying to transfer Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu to Bingzhou—with Ding Yuan present, the rebellion in Bingzhou would be quelled. , Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang and others, how can they be so cheap?
After much deliberation, the best way is to cut off the Hu.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bian turned his head and told Zhao Chun, "Go and invite my second uncle into the palace. I'll wait for him in Fangjia Hall."

"Yes." Zhao Chun bowed and left.

Looking back to see Zhang Rang's confused expression, Liu Bian smiled perfunctorily and sent Zhang Rang away.

Immediately, he walked into the hall and handed Wang Kuang's memorial to Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi was also very pleased when he saw it.

After a while, Liu Bian reckoned that the time was almost up, so he found an excuse to temporarily leave Chongde Hall, return to Jiafang Hall, and wait for the arrival of his second uncle He Miao.

After about a stick of incense, when Liu Bian was idling with Cai Yan in the West Pian Hall, Zhao Chun hurried in, pretending not to see Liu Bian's hands and feet on Cai Yan, and respectfully said: "Shihou, Jiyang Hou is here."

Liu Bian nodded, said something to Cai Yan who was blushing and gritted his teeth, and walked quickly to the hall, just in time to see He Miao looking at the furnishings in the house with his hands behind his back.

"Second Uncle." Liu Bian called out affectionately.

He Miao turned around, with a slight smile on his naturally gloomy face: "Marquis Shi is so eager to call me into the palace, what's the matter?"

"Second uncle, please sit down."

Liu Bian raised his hand to invite He Miao to take a seat, and talked about the court meeting this morning: "...today's court meeting, Lu Shangshu recommended Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu as the governors to go to Bingzhou to suppress the rebellion, and unexpectedly, there was a commotion in the end."

"Ah."

He Miao chuckled inexplicably, with a hint of sarcasm: "How could the two of his brothers be willing to..."

Speaking of this, he frowned, and asked Liu Bian: "After the court meeting, many people were discussing it, and I was a little puzzled. Why would Lu Shangshu recommend Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu? It's not like Lu Shangshu would do that. Regarding the matter, Shi Hou has been very close to Lu Shangshu recently, have you heard anything?"

Since He Miao and his elder brother He Jin haven't had any conflicts yet, Liu Bian didn't want to startle the enemy, so he pretended to be stupid and said, "Isn't Lu Shangshu trying to put down the rebellion as soon as possible?"

Hearing this, He Miao gave another ambiguous smile, and immediately changed the topic: "Let's not talk about it. This time, Shi Hou summoned me into the palace. I don't know why?"

"Is such that……"

Liu Bian organized his speech and said to He Miao pretending to be worried: "In the past when the imperial court learned of the rebellion in Liangzhou, my uncle and Dong Zhong quarreled for several days in the court, which wasted a lot of fighting opportunities. My uncle and Dong Zhong are quarreling again and again, how long will this quarrel last?... To tell you the truth about my second uncle, I have been studying state affairs in the Chongde Hall for the past few months, and I have also seen the memorial to Ding Yuan, who served as a state soldier. He issued a military order in the memorial, saying that he can quell Xiutu Gehu's rebellion, so why not appoint this person as the governor of Bingzhou?"

"Would this... be a bit of a joke?" He Miao hesitated, "This Ding Yuan was only employed by Cao Cao under Zhang Yi's former governor, and he had never been a prefect before. Is it inappropriate to appoint him as the governor of Bingzhou all of a sudden?"

Liu Bian also knew that this was unreasonable, but that's what He Jin did in history, so Ding Yuan was grateful and loyal to He Jin, if he could persuade He Miao to recommend Ding Yuan this time, wouldn't he just cut off Hu?
Fortunately, Liu Bian had already thought of the words to persuade He Miao in advance: "...Second uncle, I think so. Before the court selects a suitable candidate, it is better to appoint Na Dingyuan as the governor of Bingzhou. Naturally, everyone is happy; if not, the court can appoint another candidate. You can’t just let Xiutu and the Husbands plunder and slaughter in Bingzhou just because the uncle and Dong Zhong can’t argue?... Even if Ding Yuan became the governor We can only maintain the status quo, which is worse than the current situation where Bingzhou is leaderless and scattered.”

"Hmm." He Miao nodded slightly, apparently convinced.

Seeing this, Liu Bian took advantage of the situation to persuade him: "I am young, even if I insist on recommending Ding Yuan, I am afraid that all the ministers in the court will not agree, so I ask my second uncle to recommend it on my behalf."

"it is good."

He Miao, who was persuaded, readily agreed.

After talking about the business, Liu Bian left He Miao to sit for a while, in order to win over his feelings, and then called Cai Yan to meet He Miao: "Wen Ji, you haven't met my second uncle yet, have you? Except for the mother's queen, it belongs to the second uncle." She is closest to me...Second Uncle, this is my future queen, and has been approved by Cai Langzhong."

He Miao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words 'closest' from Liu Bian, with a little smile on his face.

And Cai Yan also followed Liu Bian's instructions, and called He Miao shyly, "Second...Second Uncle."

She was shy, but He Miao was also shy. He touched his whole body in a panic, finally took off a piece of jade worn around his waist, and said to Cai Yan with an embarrassed face: "I came in a hurry, I didn't bring anything, so I talked to you." Please take this jade as a gift for meeting, please don't dislike it."

Cai Yan would not dislike it, and held it with both hands: "Thank you, Second Uncle."

After chatting for a few more words, He Miao said goodbye and left.

The next day, Emperor Ling set up a court meeting again and called all the ministers to discuss the rebellion in Bingzhou.

He Miao came out and suggested, "Your Majesty, since the ministers are still arguing, why don't you just appoint Bingzhou Bing Cao and Ding Yuan as the governor?"

Lu Zhi was taken aback when he saw this, and glanced at Liu Bian without leaving a trace.

The rest of the ministers were also shocked, Yang Biao, the doctor of the Taizhong, raised a question tactfully, just like the question He Miao raised yesterday.

To this, He Miao replied solemnly: "It is urgent to follow the power. Right now, the governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Yi, has been defeated, and the governor of Bingzhou has no leader. It is necessary to elect a governor as soon as possible, and gather the power of the whole prefecture to quell the rebellion. If Dingyuan can do it, it will be the best Good; if not, you can buy a lot of time for the court to choose a better candidate."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly realized and nodded. He Jin, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhong also had no objections. Anyway, they were not willing to go to Bingzhou to suppress the bandits. He Miao recommended Ding Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou. No hindrance.

Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Emperor Ling was obviously tired of seeing He Jin, Dong Zhong, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu arguing endlessly, and immediately decided: "Okay, according to Ji Yanghou's suggestion, appoint Bingzhou Bing Cao Eng Ding Yuan as Bingzhou Governor He will put down Xiutu Gehu's rebellion as soon as possible, and don't want to disappoint me and the court's expectations."

After all, he ordered to retreat and took Zhang Rang to leave first.

After he left, He Jin and Dong Zhong sneered at each other and left separately.

So are the rest.

In the evening of that day, when Liu Bian was about to return to Jiafang Hall, Lu Zhi called him, and after looking around, he asked in a low voice, "Why did Shihou change his mind?"

"What?" Liu Bian tried to muddle through.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi said with a smile: "If that was really the idea of ​​Marquis Jiyang, he would have brought it up at the palace meeting yesterday, why wait until today? Considering Marquis Jiyang's withdrawn nature, there are not many people who can listen to him Moreover, Shihou invited Jiyanghou to the palace yesterday..."

"I really can't hide it from Master Lu." Liu Bian said with a wry smile, "Okay, I admit it."

"Why?"

Liu Bian half-truthfully said: "Yesterday I saw the general and Dong Zhong quarreling endlessly. I don't know how long the quarrel will end. Then I thought that the people of Bingzhou were still in a state of rage, so I suggested to my second uncle to recommend Na Ding." Originally the governor, I hope he will live up to his oath in the memorial and put down the rebellion as soon as possible."

"I see."

Lu Zhi nodded slightly, accepting Liu Bian's explanation. Immediately, he asked Liu Bian with a smile, "So, Shi Hou really thought about taking this opportunity to transfer Yuan Benchu ​​or Yuan Gonglu?"

"I don't understand what Master Lu said." Liu Bian blinked innocently.

"Ha." Lu Zhi laughed, and immediately asked Liu Bian seriously: "Does Shi Hou want the old minister to see Er Yuan's selfishness?"

"..."

Liu Bian was startled, but before he could react, Lu Zhi sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for Shi Hou, the old minister would never have expected that Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu's selfishness would be so serious..."

After all, he bid farewell to Liu Bian.

Seeing Lu Zhi's leaving back, Liu Bian finally recovered and raised his eyebrows.

Is this... a windfall?

On the same day, the imperial court appointed Ding Yuan, a soldier of Bingzhou, as the governor, and ordered the latter to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Ding Yuan learned that Henan Yin, General Cheqi, and Marquis He Miao of Jiyang had recommended him to be the governor of Bingzhou. He was very excited and grateful.
