I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 352 Are you willing to join me, Huo Yu, to fight into Chang'an, appoint a new king, and grant kings and titles? (Please subscribe)

When Tian Guangming heard these two sentences from Huo Yu, he wished he had never had ears.

Because even just hearing this sentence is enough to punish the Yi clan.

Tian Guangming was a general promoted by Huo Guang and the core of Huo's party, but he was still not ready to become a rebellious minister and traitor.

When receiving the letter sent by Huo Xian, Tian Guangming took out a letter of Huo Dang's loyalty and gratitude to the general.

Although he had not decided whether to immediately lead his army back to Chang'an to support the general, he at least decided to let the army return south first.

But what surprised Tian Guangming was that Huo Yu's letters came one after another, which openly proposed that Tian Guangming would participate in the "Qing Jun side and kill Cai Yi" plan.

Tian Guangming pleaded with Huo Yu to think carefully on the grounds that "the situation is unclear and it is not appropriate to take action without permission."

Unexpectedly, Huo Yu was unmoved and sent several letters urging Tian Guangming's troops to speed up their return south to the fortress.

A few days ago, as soon as Tian Guangming and his [-]-strong army arrived at the place where they are now stationed, Huo Yu wrote another letter, "forcibly inviting" him to come to the CCP camp to discuss important matters.

Tian Guangming was reluctant, but he had already boarded the Huo family's boat and had no choice but to come to the appointment.

At this moment, Huo Yu asked Tian Guangming this question face to face, leaving the latter no room for evasion or hesitation.

Tian Guangming was not prepared before, and he is still not prepared now.

He hesitated and hesitated, but never gave a clear answer.

Huo Yu's mean face showed an expression of disgust.

In the past, people like Tian Guangming had no idea how flattering they were in front of their father and mother in order to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Now when it comes to hiring people, they all resist and show no loyalty at all.

"Why, it's been more than half a month, hasn't General Tian made up his mind yet?" Huo Yu asked Tian Guangming with an air of air.

While speaking, Huo Yu couldn't help but imitate Huo Guang's majestic appearance.

However, because he lacked the experience of being in charge of the court for more than [-] years, Huo Yu looked more like a monkey in clothes and looked nondescript.

"Young general, this matter is very important. We don't know what the current situation in Chang'an City is, so I'm afraid we can't act rashly!" Tian Guangshun muttered.

"Huh? General Tian must have not received the letter sent from Chang'an City..."

"That was written by my mother. Does General Tian think that my mother is deceiving me?" Huo Yu said unhappily.

"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that. It's just that after that, Chang'an City never wrote to me again..."

"And I also asked the border county officials who came to deliver food to the army. The situation in Chang'an City has calmed down..."

"Maybe the general has stabilized the situation?"

Tian Guangming carefully chose his words and sentences, fearing that if he said something wrong, he would offend Huo Yu.

This is not Tian Guangming's excuse. Not only him, Huo Yu and others also got a lot of new information. They have a very clear grasp of the situation in Chang'an City before October 25th.

The news is both good and bad.

The general's illness is no longer serious, and he will soon return to the court and continue to serve as the chief minister and the great general.

The emperor personally went to the General's Mansion to congratulate Huo Xian on his birthday and gave the Huo family an iron book of alchemy that could exonerate him from sin.

Huo Chengjun is going to Weiyang Palace to become the queen in advance, and the title of queen will be more legitimate in the future.

……

This is all good news.

However, this good news is also mixed with some bad news.

In just a few days, the emperor stirred up the city of Chang'an.

In one breath, he wiped out Ren Gong, Le Cheng and Tian Yannian, and took the opportunity to gain control of a lot of political power.

The biggest bad news is that the general asked the emperor to take charge in the court.

Compared with both sides, the good news is the icing on the cake, and the bad news is the worse.

Huo Yu and Fan Mingyou are not fools. They all know that the situation in Chang'an City looks like a draw between the emperor and the general, but in fact the general loses.

Because the power in the hands of the emperor is getting bigger and bigger, while the power in the hands of the general is getting smaller and smaller.

"Since General Tian also has his own source of information, he should also know about the county magistrate's personal administration, right?" Huo Yu asked.

"Of course I've heard of this." Tian Guangming replied hesitantly.

"Does General Na Tian think the county magistrate will really let us go?" Huo Yu still looked uncertain.

"We have not made any mistakes in this expedition, and the general has been reinstated. The county magistrate has no reason, and he will not be disadvantageous to us."

It can be heard from Tian Guangming's words that he still wants to be a "Hanchen".

Huo Yu was finally angered by his "rebellious" words. He grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it to the ground, breaking it to pieces.

"Tian Guangming!" Huo Yu called him by his name, causing Tian Guangming to be stunned.

"Ten years ago, when you came to my door and begged to be my Huo family's pawn, you were destined to do this to Qing Jun!"

"Now you are pretending to be the county magistrate's loyal dog. Don't you think it's too late?"

"No clue?" Huo Yu sneered.

"On the contrary, this evidence is everywhere. If anything we do is leaked, it will be a major matter of annihilation for the clan!"

"Tian Guangming, you have to think clearly today whether you want to be the loyal dog of my Huo family or the loyal dog of the county magistrate!"

At this time, Huo Yu not only called Tian Guangming by his name, but also called him a "dog" mercilessly both inside and outside his words.

It's not just bullying, it's simply a shame and a huge insult.

But Tian Guangming didn't dare to show any embarrassment at all. Instead, his face turned red, as if he had really made a big mistake.

Compared with embarrassment and shame, Tian Guangming was still a little scared.

If he refuses Huo Yu's request again today, will he not be able to walk out of this tent alive?

Huo Yu was too domineering and didn't give him any dignity as a general. Even if he wanted to nod in agreement now, he couldn't lose the dignity.

As a result, the atmosphere in the big tent became a little tense and awkward, and the sound of the oil lamps crackling was as restless as everyone's mood at the moment.

After a very long period of time, Fan Mingyou coughed a few times, then came out and started singing.

"Don't be angry, young general, and don't be anxious, general Tian. Although the matter with Qing Jun is urgent, it is not urgent at these hours."

Fan Mingyou looked at the others calmly, and after making sure that no one wanted to stand up and answer, he continued to talk to Tian Guangming.

"General Tian, ​​although the situation in Chang'an City has stabilized, you also know that this situation cannot last long."

"The queen has indeed entered the palace, but it will take a year to give birth to a baby. It seems that the county magistrate is becoming more and more wary of the Huo family."

"Now that the county magistrate has taken charge, I can still hold a heavy army at this moment, but as soon as I return to Chang'an City, this army will be dispersed, and I will have no bargaining chips with the county magistrate."

"When the time comes, even if the general protects and intercedes, if the county magistrate wants us to round up, we will round up, and if he wants us to omit, we will omit."

"It's better to take advantage of the fact that we still have a large army in hand and raise the flag of righteousness on the side of Qingjun when we approach Chang'an City."

"Advance can promote the general and junior generals as new kings, and retreat can help the general. This is the right way."

"If we enter the city obediently and hand over the tiger talisman obediently, will we still have any strength to resist?"

"General Tian is worried about his family members because he is filial and kind, but if he is afraid of his hands and feet because of this and becomes a fish on the board, won't his family members also be spared?"

"We expect that if we have tens of thousands of troops in our hands, the county magistrates will be a little more wary. Plus, with the general operating around Chang'an City, our family members and relatives will be much safer."

"The young general just wanted to find a way out and a future for us, that's why he was so eager. General Tian can't be confused."

Fan Mingyou was worthy of being a veteran. He raised his triangular eyes and spoke in detail. His analysis was so logical that Tian Guangming couldn't help but believe it a little more.

"I did act too hastily just now, and I was a little rude. General Tian, ​​please forgive me." Huo Yu said stiffly with a straight face.

Tian Guangming was a smart man. He quickly got off the donkey and thanked him again.

After weighing it again and again, Tian Guangming finally calmed down and made a decision.

He drank the wine on the table and planned to stand up and speak.

However, before Tian Guangming could say anything, the curtain of the big tent was opened.

Huo Shan, who was on guard outside, walked in.

"The edict is coming from Chang'an City!" Huo Shan put a messenger tube in his hand on Huo Yu's case.Everyone was startled and anxious, and immediately stood up and gathered around Huo Yu.

They opened the messenger tube and poured two things out of it.

The same is an edict, and the same is a letter.

Huo Yu first opened the edict and read it. Soon, his face turned from white to red, and then from red to purple.

Without saying a word, he handed the edict to others to circulate.

After reading it, the other five people's faces were equally ugly.

The core content of this edict is to allow Fan Mingyou's troops to stay where they are after returning to the fortress and not to return to Chang'an City.

However, Fan Mingyou and others had to go to Chang'an City alone to face the Holy Spirit and explain in detail the situation of the Battle of Zhengbei.

Tu Qiong Ding saw that everyone already knew what the emperor wanted to do.

At this moment, the same edict should have been sent to Tian Guangming's camp, and Tian Shun will receive the same edict in a few days.

In addition, the local officials of the entire Beidi County, Anding County and Shuofang County have also received the edict.

This means that Fan Mingyou and others' plan to fake their way back to Chang'an has completely failed.

"General Tian, ​​take a good look. The county magistrate is so crazy that he wants to take away the military power of the three generals now. Do you still want to hesitate?" Huo Yu said sarcastically.

"There are treacherous ministers around this county magistrate. It must be Cai Yi, Zhang Anshi and others who have done evil things!" Tian Guangming said angrily and angrily.

"In this case, General Tian is willing to work with us on a grand plan to enter Chang'an City, Qingjun's side, and kill Cai Yi." Huo Yu asked again.

Huo Yu has not yet said what he will do after "Qingjun side, kill Cai Yi".

But as long as Chang'an City is captured, everything can be planned slowly!

"For the sake of the great Han Dynasty, I am willing to be driven by the little general!"

Huo Yu's gloomy expression finally looked better. Only then did he open the letter from his father and read it with the others.

This letter did not say much useful stuff. It just asked Fan Mingyou and others to return to Chang'an City immediately without any doubts or mistakes.

After reading the entire letter, which contained several hundred words, the tone of the writing exuded the general's usual majesty and bossiness, and the handwriting was also correct, so there was no chance of fraud.

However, this means nothing to Fan Mingyou and others.

Huo Yu shook his head secretly in his heart and once again expressed contempt and ridicule to his father.

He couldn't figure out why at this critical juncture, when the emperor had already put a knife on the Huo family's neck, he still persisted in letting the emperor manipulate him?

Could it be that my old father, who was good at scheming in the court, really had such firm loyalty to the Liu family of the Han Dynasty? It was simply unreasonable.

It seems that my father is really old.

After everyone read it, Huo Yu didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the lamp, put the letter on the fire and burned it completely.

"Today, we have never seen this letter."

"only!"

Huo Yu brought another pot of wine and poured it into an empty large lacquer bowl.

Then he pulled out the sword from his waist with a "clang" sound, slashed his left index finger fiercely, and dripped blood into it.

Without him saying anything else, the other people present followed suit and dropped their own blood into the wine.

"Today we have made a blood alliance, drank this wine together, and worked together on a great plan. When it comes to fruition, everyone can be crowned a king!"

After Huo Yu finished speaking, the first one drank the wine with great courage, and then passed the wine to several others, who drank one by one.

After drinking light wine, they would not be drunk at all, but their hearts were surging and their blood was naturally flowing, making them all a little dizzy.

This is just the beginning, there are still many things to plan.

First of all, the slogan of the army was set as "Be close to the emperor and kill Cai Yi", but he did not announce it to other soldiers for the time being. He returned south and raised the righteous flag before arriving at Lingwu City.

Secondly, someone should immediately send a message to Tian Shun, asking them to continue to rush back to Chang'an City, and correctly interact with the other two armies under Chang'an City.

Once again, after Fan Mingyou and Tian Guangming returned south to the fortress, they joined forces and advanced together, approaching Chang'an City and attacking the city together.

Finally, it is time to determine the specific marching route and schedule.

Although Huo Yu was the backbone of the Huo Party, he had never commanded an army of tens of thousands of people, so he was self-aware and entrusted all matters to Fan Mingyou.

Fan Mingyouxing was a sinister and vicious person, but he still commanded the army with a certain degree of advance and retreat. In just half an hour, all the details of the march were finalized.

"We have advantages and disadvantages in doing things."

"The advantage lies in having more soldiers, but the disadvantage lies in having less food."

"So you must act decisively and viciously without any hesitation."

"We have to pass through several big cities along the way. Fight if you can, and don't back down!"

"In addition, the sources of soldiers in the army are quite complicated. Before starting an incident, you must arrange your trusted followers in advance to stabilize those who are prone to chaos. Kill them when you need to, and don't hesitate!"

Fan Mingyou explained sentence by sentence, very carefully and carefully. It seemed that he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Just now, when everyone was making a blood alliance, they were still a little nervous, confused and unsure of what to do.

Now, with Fan Mingyou, the senior general, taking care of things and arranging everything in an orderly manner, everyone feels much more at ease.

"Don't worry, everyone. Together we have more than [-] troops. We are the strongest troops of the Han Dynasty. They can move freely in this world."

"All the troops from the northern counties have been transferred to the five-pronged army, and the only ones left are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled..."

"Zhao Chongguo's troops and Han Zeng's troops are thousands of miles away, and the water far away cannot reach the thirsty people nearby."

"The chance of my success is over [-]%!"

After Fan Mingyou finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake.

This matter of committing rebellion was [-]% certain to be a dead end, so he quickly added: "Today's county officials are crazy and don't know how to fight. We are sure to win!"

……

Fan Mingyou finally finished speaking these inspiring words, and several people in the big tent immediately split up and performed their duties.

Fan Mingyou even made arrangements to break camp and return south tomorrow.

Huo Yu and Huo Shan went to contact the rest of the Huo Party under Fan Mingyou—among the three armies, this one had the most Huo Party and was the easiest to be controlled by them.

Tian Guangming also rushed towards the camp a hundred miles away at starry night.

Soon, the Chinese military tent became quiet, and there was no one left.

All the food was placed intact in its original position, indicating the strangeness revealed in the sudden end.

Under the increasingly dim light, there were even more clues that smelled of conspiracy.

The black ashes after the letter was burned, the broken wine glass on the ground, the lacquered bowl with a trace of blood on the edge...

It can make people feel uneasy.

At this time, the snow that had stopped for a few days suddenly started falling again.

There was a burst of exclamation and noise in the entire camp, and then silence returned soon.

If anyone could fly into the air and look down at the Han army camp that stretched for miles, he would definitely find many silent shadows, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattered...

They cast an unpredictable shadow over the entire camp.

The snow fell all night and then stopped. A shallow layer of white temporarily covered up many ugly glooms.

……

On November 7, the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Fan Mingyou's troops and Tian Guangming's troops, a total of [-] men, broke camp and returned south at the same time, heading towards the border of the Han Dynasty.

The soldiers who failed to make military exploits in Mobei were no longer depressed, but were eager to return home. Everyone wanted to see their parents, wives and children as soon as possible.

How could they have imagined that the general they trusted and loved was leading them on a path of no return.

No one died during the Xiongnu expedition, but there will probably be bloodshed on the way back to Chang'an.

I wonder if God can protect the big man and save his good man from bleeding.
