At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 139 Gai Xun won the holy family, Ziyi worshiped the chariot and rode

Right Fufeng, Meiyang.

But Zhang Wen's troops were divided into six groups, and except for Dong Zhuo, the other five groups all returned in defeat.

General Zhou Shen said angrily: "The rebel army knew our whereabouts like the palm of their hands, and that's why they were defeated. But Dong Zhuo was able to return safely, so he must have colluded with the bandits."

The rest of the generals were also furious.

This major defeat was entirely due to the leak of news. Dong Zhuo led his troops to pursue Beigong Boyu, who was the most powerful, and he was able to return safely without losing a single soldier even though the food road was cut off.

Isn't such a record suspicious?
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that the officers and soldiers were betrayed by Dong Zhuo, there is no definite proof.

Now, not only could Dong Zhuo be impeached, but he also had to be granted a title of minister to calm his mind, lest Dong Zhuo jump over the wall and rebel directly.

Yuan Pang, who was in charge of the Jin Dynasty, sighed: "I have heard that Sun Wentai, who joined the military, once angrily reported Dong Zhuo's three crimes to the general of chariots and cavalry, and requested that Dong Zhuo be killed to improve military discipline, but the general of chariots and cavalry did not obey him."

"If Dong Zhuo had been killed earlier, why would we have raised tigers?"

Zhou Shen, the bandit general, also sighed: "I also regret not listening to Wentai's words, otherwise we would not have such a big defeat."

When all the generals heard this, they all sighed secretly.

Finally, I, Yuan, suddenly said: "Sun Wentai knows soldiers well and is good at fighting. How can he be reduced to a military position? We will show his merits."

Everyone thought so.

Later, the imperial court was grateful for Sun Jian's contribution, so he transferred him back to Luoyang and worshiped him as Yilang.

Although Yilang has a rank of six hundred shi, he can participate in the government affairs and belong to the capital officials. Many officials in the court started as Yilang.

Obviously, with the recommendation of the generals, Sun Jian has officially started his political career.

Now that the officers and soldiers have been defeated, Dong Zhuo has more than [-] soldiers stationed in Fufeng, refusing to obey the court's order.

Zhang Wen was unable to continue to encircle and suppress the rebels, so he had to station troops in Chang'an and Meiyang to prepare for a protracted war with the rebels.

In order to stabilize the situation of the three auxiliaries, the imperial court sent envoys to Chang'an to remove Zhang Wen from his position as general of chariots and cavalry and worship him as Taiwei.

Zhongping three years.

The imperial court considered Yang Yong, the governor of Liangzhou, to be unfavorable in fighting against the thieves, so he dismissed his official position and moved Geng Bi to be the new governor of Liangzhou.

Geng Bi saw that the previous three governors of Liangzhou were all dismissed because they were not good at seeking thieves, and he didn't want to follow in the footsteps.

After Geng Bi took office, he began to actively recruit soldiers from the six counties to prepare for war.

However, he ignored the current situation in Liangzhou and imposed exorbitant levies everywhere. He also imposed military service and corvee labor, and used nepotism. He favored Cheng Qiu, who was in charge of governance. Cheng Qiu was selfish and greedy, and took the opportunity to amass money, causing resentment in Liangzhou.

Gai Xun repeatedly tried to persuade him to no avail, knowing that Gengbi would be defeated, he planned to resign.

County Sheriff's Office.

Zhou Qi looked at Gai Xun, who had a dejected look on his face, and asked, "Sir, don't you think about it again?"

Gai Xun sighed: "Geng Bi imposed excessive taxes, and the people of Liangzhou were in dire straits and complained. Even the situation in Hanyang County, which you and I had finally stabilized, began to gradually get out of control."

"If you don't listen to advice, what's the use of staying in Hanyang County?"

Zhou Qi was silent for a long time after hearing the words.

Beigong Boyu's rebellion, Bian Zhang and Han Sui's response made Liangzhou's people uneasy, and now Geng Bi made such a move, it is really full of holes and precarious.

Even though Zhou Qi boasted that he was quite talented, he was powerless at all.

Today's Gai Xun is even more disappointed with the court, which is why he chose to resign at the most critical moment in Liangzhou.

Zhou Qi knew that Gai Xun had decided to leave, so he immediately took off his seal and said calmly: "I came to Liangzhou first for the sake of the country, and secondly to repay your kindness."

"However, the imperial court is decaying, and the employment is unknown. There are four consecutive governors of Liangzhou, and there is no one who can use it. On the contrary, Liangzhou is gradually pushed to a desperate situation."

"The imperial court has greatly disappointed me, and my husband has resigned and returned home. Why should I stay here?"

"The captain of Hanyang County, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, I will resign with my husband."

Hearing Zhou Qi's complaints about the court, Gai Xun originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about the court's various harassment operations since Beigong Boyu's rebellion, he finally sighed deeply and didn't say anything else.

Gai Xun knew very well that if the court could not be fundamentally changed, the chaos in the world would be difficult to resolve.

"Where will Ziyi go after resigning?"

Zhou Qi pondered for a while, and said: "Before I came to Hanyang County to take up my post, my family members stayed in Anfeng County, and my wife is about to give birth."

"After counting the time, the child is more than one year old, but I have not been able to meet him."

"This time in Liangzhou, I am tired of officialdom and am ready to return to Anfeng County to be with my wife and children. I don't want to think about anything else."

Hearing this, Gai Xun sighed deeply again.

He did not expect that young heroes like Zhou Qi would be forced by the court to lose their fighting spirit and plan to return home to be with their wives and children.

He patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder and said, "It's time for Ziyi to return home to spend more time with his wife and children."

"But if one day I can speak to His Majesty, I will definitely recommend Ziyi as the commander-in-chief of counter-rebellion, and I will no longer be constrained by others."

"At that time, I hope Ziyi can come back and help me."

Zhou Qi smiled and said: "If it is someone else, I will not allow it. If you are a gentleman, you will be willing to do whatever you want."

that's it.

Gai Xun, governor of Hanyang County, and Zhou Qi, governor of Hanyang County, both resigned at the same time.

Zhou Qi took Dian Wei and Xu Chu directly back to Anfeng County, wanting to have a good rest.

As for Gai Xun, he was still worried about the country. After resigning, he did not return to his hometown, but went to Luoyang.

He knew that if he wanted to change the court and the world, he had to start from the court.

Even if the hope is slim, Gai Xun is willing to fight hard.

However, they said that the rebels were at loggerheads with the officers and soldiers, and the movement of food and grass was inconvenient, so they had to retreat to Liangzhou first.

The danger of the three assistants was lifted, and the imperial court ordered Zhang Wen to return to the capital. This mighty counter-insurgency war could only end hastily in the end.

Zhongping for four years.

Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, and his fellow villager Zhang Jiu rebelled against the Han. Zhang Chun and others formed an alliance with Qiu Liju, a Wuhuan leader, and looted Ji County. They killed the Han protector Wuhuan Colonel Gong Qi Chou, Youbeiping County Governor Liu Zheng, and Liaodong County Governor. Yang Zhong et al.

More than ten thousand bandit soldiers gathered in Feiru.

Zhang Ju claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun called himself General Mitian and King Anding. The two moved to the prefectures and counties, claiming that Zhang Ju would replace Han as emperor, and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate, and the ministers welcomed Zhang Ju.

The emperor was furious and ordered the southern Xiongnu troops to attack Zhang Chun. The southern Xiongnu also rebelled, but the attack failed.

In the same year, Ou Xing, a native of Changsha County, called himself a general, gathered more than [-] people, attacked the county, and raised troops to fight against the Han.

The imperial court appointed Sun Jian as the prefect of Changsha to attack the Xingyi Army in the district.

When Sun Jian came to the county, he set up a strategy and took the lead. In one month, he was about to pacify the district star army, and because of his meritorious service, he was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng.

At the same time, as Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others withdrew to Liangzhou, different opinions emerged within the rebels.

As a famous scholar in Liangzhou, Bian Zhang started the rebellion out of helplessness and wanted to petition for surrender.

As the leader of the Xianling Qiang, Beigong Boyu didn't have much ambition. He just wanted to return to his hometown to rule the other side, and he didn't want to fight with the Han army again.

As for the kingdom, seeing that Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang wanted to break up, and also learning that old friend Song Jian was crowned king in Fuhan, everything was going well, so he immediately led his troops back to his hometown, and also planned to claim the throne from the territory.

The huge rebel army is about to fall apart.

It is night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Han Sui was wearing armor and looking up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back. His eyes no longer had the light of serving the country and the people, but were full of ambition.

During this period of time, troops rebelled, with more than [-] soldiers.

Coupled with Zhang Yan and Dong Zhuo's stimulation, Han Sui was completely awake and knew that the Han Dynasty was about to collapse.

In this era, only with soldiers in your hands can you have everything.

"I said on the day the name was changed that Beigong Boyu must be killed."

"Now is also the time."

Han Sui took a deep breath, and then suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist.

"kill!"

Beigong Boyu, who was sleeping, suddenly heard shouts and killings outside the tent, and hurried out of the tent with his clothes on.

"Han Sui, what do you want to do!"

As soon as Beigong Boyu came out of the camp, he saw Han Suizheng stabbing his own guard to death with a sword, and was immediately shocked and angry.

"Pfft!"

Han Sui pulled out his sword, even though the blood was splashed on his face, he didn't care at all, instead he showed a hearty smile.

Han Sui walked up to Beigong Boyu with a blood-stained sword in his hand, and said softly, "I'm going to kill you."

When Beigong Boyu saw his guards being killed, although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a biting chill when he heard Han Suizhe's calm words.

He sternly shouted: "I have treated you well, why did you kill me?"

Han Sui stared at Beigong Boyu calmly, and said, "Damn my reputation and force me to rebel. Is this what you call being nice to me?"

Beigong Boyu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in a panic: "How long ago that happened, why do you still remember it in your heart?"

A smile appeared on Han Sui's face, and he said softly: "Is it possible to take revenge in nine lifetimes? Even in a hundred lifetimes!"

"You insulted my reputation and forced me to rebel."

"It is the law of heaven that I kill you!"

Beigong Boyu was terrified, and shouted to the surroundings: "Warriors in the tribe, come and save me!"

As soon as Beigong Boyu finished speaking, he saw many generals from Xianling Qiang rushing over with their weapons in hand, and he was immediately overjoyed.

only.

When Beigong Boyu saw that the warriors of his tribe were standing behind Han Sui, he was shocked and angry.

He pointed at the generals and asked: "You, you, why did you rebel against me and switch to the Han people?"

Those Xian Ling Qiang generals didn't reply at all, they just looked at Beigong Boyu indifferently.

Han Sui laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said: "You are the leader of the Xianling Qiang, but you don't want to make profits for the tribe and the tribe. You hide the spoils privately. How can you win the hearts of the people?"

Speaking of this, Han Sui's voice became louder, and he opened his arms and said, "On the other hand, as an outsider like me, every time the brothers who lead Lingqiang gain something, they don't keep any of it for themselves, but distribute it to them."

"Tell me, are they willing to follow you or follow me?"

When Beigong Boyu heard this, despair appeared on his face, and then a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he rushed towards Han Sui directly.

Even if he died, he planned to provide a back-up.

"Pfft!"

however.

Before Beigong Boyu fell to Han Sui's side, several generals from Xian Lingqiang stood in front of him and killed him with weapons.

The leader of a generation of thieves, Beigong Boyu, the leader of Xianling Qiang, came to an end.

"Wen Yue, how can you do this?"

At this moment, Bian Zhang, who heard the news, ran over in a hurry and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Beigong Boyu who had been killed.

Han Sui turned his head to look at Bian Zhang, and said with a smile: "Before changing the name, did I say that Beigong Boyu must be killed?"

Bian Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shouted: "Then you also said that you would make the governor of Longxi feel pain, have you achieved it?"

Han Sui pointed at the soldiers beside him and said, "I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under my command now. Do you think I can fulfill my promise in the past?"

Bian Zhang was horrified when he heard this and shouted: "Are you still planning to attack Longxi?"

Han Sui said calmly: "Why not?"

Bian Zhang said angrily: "We rebelled out of helplessness. Even if you killed Beigong Boyu, it was for a reason and it was a meritorious service to the court."

"We now have tens of thousands of troops. As long as we are willing to surrender to the imperial court, we can not only wash away our past grievances, but also receive generous rewards."

"If you continue to send troops to attack Longxi, it will be difficult to wash away your reputation as a traitor!"

Han Sui looked directly at Bian Zhang and said calmly, "So what?"

Bian Zhang pointed at Han Sui and said tremblingly: "I never thought that your ambition would be so high. Do you really want to rebel?"

Han Sui walked to Bian Zhang and said softly, "The imperial court is corrupt, why can't I replace it?"

Bian Zhang was horrified and was about to scold him, but he felt a pain in his heart.

He lowered his head and looked at the sharp sword that had penetrated his chest. He looked up at Han Sui, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Pfft!"

Han Sui put his arms around Bian Zhang's back, and suddenly exerted force on his right hand holding the sword. The blade moved forward again, and Bian Zhang began to vomit blood uncontrollably.

"You, you and I have known each other for dozens of years. I regard you as a close friend. I never thought that this, this friendship will not be able to match my ambition..."

After saying this, Bian Zhang's head hung softly and rested on Han Sui's shoulder.

Han Sui hugged Bian Zhang's body tightly, his eyes were moist, and he said in a low voice, "If it's possible, I don't want to be a minister capable of governing the world."

"It's a pity that this world only allows me to be a traitor."

Han Sui slowly pulled out the sharp sword that pierced into Bian Zhang's body, and then said to General Xianling Qiang behind him: "Buy the two of you generously!"

But it is said that after Han Sui killed Bianzhang and Beigong Boyu, Xiao gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Longxi County.

Longxi Prefect Li Shen summoned the county soldiers to defend the city, but Han Sui had already arranged a detailed plan in the city. He kidnapped Longxi Prefect Li Shen and led the people to surrender to the rebels.

Longxi County Sheriff's Mansion.

Han Sui looked at Li Shen, the prefect who was being forced to kneel down, and immediately reprimanded the soldiers: "Longxi prefect Li Xiangru welcomes us into the city, how can you treat me like this?"

After finishing speaking, Han Sui stepped forward to untie him personally, and said with a smile: "It is Liangzhou's example to let the king know that the imperial court is corrupt, and give gifts from the county to help me fight against the Han."

Li Shen, the name of Li Shen is similar.

Hearing what Han Sui said, he was a little dazed at first, and then cursed: "Dead traitor, when will I surrender and welcome you from the county?"

"Don't insult my reputation!"

When Han Sui heard this, he spread his hands and looked up to the sky and laughed.

He moved to Li Xiangru's side, and said softly: "In the past, you didn't distinguish between right and wrong, slandered me and Bian Zhang as a thief, and ruined our reputation."

"I once swore that I must make you feel the pain!"

Li Xiangru was horrified when he heard this. Knowing what the other party wanted to do, he immediately yelled: "You are a traitor, kill me quickly!"

Han Sui shouted to the soldiers: "I will take you down and take care of him. Don't let him commit suicide!"

"Rebellion, kill me quickly!"

"You will die a good death as a rebel!"

Faced with Li Xiangru's scolding, Han Sui remained unmoved and instead asked his subordinates to spread the word that the Longxi governor was a thief.

as predicted.

After Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, got the news, he began to offer a reward to Li Xiangru in the state. The governor of Longxi was also labeled as a rebel.

in the bedroom.

Han Sui took the wanted document from the court, walked up to Li Xiangru who was tied up, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiangru, you and I are now traitors."

"How does this feel?"

Li Xiangru looked at the wanted document in Han Sui's hand, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he wanted to curse, but sadly found that his mouth had been firmly tied.

He screamed as hard as he could, but all he could make was a "Woo" sound.

Two lines of clear tears slid down his cheeks.

"General, since this person has been designated as a rebel, do you want to let him go?"

Han Sui glanced at the person who spoke, and said lightly: "Don't you know that this is just a slander by the court? How could Prefect Li be a traitor?"

"Since he is loyal to the imperial court, then as he wishes, tie him up like this and starve to death for the country."

The soldiers in charge of guarding Li Xiangru felt a chill down their spines when they heard Han Sui's words.

Seeing that his enemies, Beigong Boyu and Li Xiangru, were all punished, Han Sui muttered to himself, "Wang Guo and Song Jian are still living happily."

The corners of Han Sui's mouth curved, and he murmured to himself: "That idiot Geng Bi will probably raise an army to attack me."

"Guo Guo and Song Jian are both in Longxi County. I don't believe they can't be dragged into trouble."

However, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, knew that Han Sui led the rebels to occupy Longxi County, so he planned to lead the soldiers and horses of the six counties to hunt for the thieves.

At that time, Fu Xie was resented by Zhao Zhong, the official in charge of the imperial court, and he was afraid of harming him for fear of his reputation, so he was transferred to Hanyang as the county governor.

Fu Xie knew that Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, had lost the support of the people and that he would definitely be defeated if he led his troops into battle. He immediately gave advice: "The emperor's rule will be weakened, and the number of people will be unknown."

"Confucius said: "Not teaching people to fight is to abandon them. "If you lead your untrained soldiers to cross the natural dangers of Dalong, you will be in danger when you go into battle. But when the thieves hear that the army is coming, they will all be united."

"There are many brave soldiers on the frontier, but it is difficult to take the lead, and the newly united troops are not in harmony with each other. If there is an internal change, it will be regrettable."

"If you don't stop your troops and cultivate your virtue, you will be rewarded and punished."

"If the thieves are pardoned, if we think that we are timid, the thieves will inevitably fight among themselves and fall apart. It is inevitable."

"Then lead well-trained soldiers to attack the bandits and bandits that are falling apart. The results can be achieved by sitting back and waiting."

"This is not a perfect blessing, but a disaster. Stealing it will make you unavailable."

Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, refused to follow his words and insisted on leading the army.

When the army marched to Di Dao, those who complained about Geng Bi rebelled. Don't drive the army to kill Cheng Qiu first, and then kill Geng Bi. The officers and soldiers were defeated.

At the same time, Han Sui wrote two letters and sent them to Wang Guo and Song Jian respectively.

The kingdom received the letter and saw that Han Sui's words in the letter were extremely humble, and he solemnly promised that as long as the kingdom leads troops to rescue, Han Sui is willing to serve the kingdom as its leader.

Wang Guo was moved, so he no longer wanted to claim the king in the territory, but led his soldiers and horses to rescue Han Sui.

As for Song Jian, after receiving almost the same letter from Han Sui, he sneered again and again, tore up the letter directly, and continued to stay in Wuhan to be his king of Han Dynasty at the head of the river. Therefore, he was able to save his life and was granted the title of king for thirty years. remaining time.

As soon as Wang Guo led his troops to join Han Sui, the officers and soldiers collapsed due to civil strife. Geng Bi's subordinate Sima Ma Teng gathered the rebels and rebelled, joined forces with Han Sui, and jointly appointed Wang Gu as their leader.

The kingdom proclaimed itself a general of the United States, and all the rebels besieged Hanyang County. The city was short of soldiers and food, and Fu Xie, the governor of Hanyang County, refused to surrender.

At this point, all of Liangzhou fell.

The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty also completely lost its rule over Liangzhou.

The rebels did not stop occupying Liangzhou. They once again plundered the Sanfu area and besieged Chencang, which shocked the government and the public.

However, it is said that after Gai Xun resigned and went to Luoyang, he also gained the respect of the powerful people in Luoyang. Even the emperor heard his name and talked with him and loved him very much.

Han Sui and others captured Longxi County, and the south of it was Wudu County.

If there is a loss in Wudu County, the rebels can attack the land of Bashu.

Bashu is the land where the great Han Dynasty prospered, and it is the land of abundance, so naturally there is no room for loss. The emperor appointed Gai Xun as the prefect of Wudu and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

In order to show his importance, the emperor ordered General He Jin and Captain Jian Shuo to see him off outside the city, and Luoyang officials were all proud of it.

Gai Xun's reputation can be seen.

However, before Gai Xun arrived in Wudu County, news of the fall of Liangzhou spread back to Luoyang.

The emperor urgently summoned Gai Xun to return, and named him the captain of Polu.

The emperor summoned Gai Xun and asked, "Why is there such a rebellion in the world?"

Gai Xun said to him: "It all depends on the merits of your majesty's favorite minister."

At that time, Jian Shuo, the eunuch who went to the military academy, was sitting. The emperor turned around and asked Jian Shuo: "Is there any truth to what Gai Qing said?"

Jian Shuo was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down, not knowing what to do, and began to hate Gai Xun from then on.

The emperor called Xun again and said: "My master Chen Yuping is optimistic, take out all the property in the West Garden, and reward all the soldiers under his command, how about it?"

The emperor, who is greedy for money, also knows that the big man is in a precarious situation. He was touched by Gai Xun's words and planned to spend all his money to reward the three armies.

Gai Xun said: "I heard that 'the former kings valued virtue and did not care about the number of soldiers.' Today, the bandits are far away and your Majesty is parading the troops nearby. This is not enough to show your Majesty's decisiveness and fortitude. On the contrary, it is suspected of being militaristic."

Gai Xun was indeed a direct minister, and he did not shy away from facing the emperor, and dared to speak out and advise.

The emperor admired Gai Xun's virtues, but instead of being angry, he said: "Your words are very kind. I only regret that I met you so late. Although there are many ministers in the court, no one is as straightforward as your advice."

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed deeply: "The situation has become so chaotic, the rebels have looted Sanfu, besieged Chencang, and all the princes in the court, but no one can share my worries."

When Gai Xun heard this, his heart moved slightly, and then he knelt down.

The emperor was surprised when he saw this, and asked, "Why did you perform such a grand ceremony?"

Gai Xun kowtowed and said: "The situation in Liangzhou has become so chaotic. It's not because the generals are not good at fighting and the soldiers are not brave. It's because the people your Majesty entrusted to you before are not good people."

"I recommend someone. If your Majesty uses him and trusts him, he will be able to eliminate rebellion!"

The emperor was greatly surprised and asked: "Who do you mean?"

Gai Xun raised his head and said: "The person I am recommending is Zhou Qi of Pei State and Zhou Ziyi. He was the magistrate of Anfeng County and the captain of Hanyang County. He made the first contribution in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans. He attacked the enemy camp with fire with [-] soldiers." , big break."

The emperor's face showed a look of sudden realization, but he asked again: "Someone once recommended him to be the captain of Hanyang County. Since he is leading the army in Hanyang, why can't he defeat the thieves?"

Gai Xun said sternly: "Although Zhou Ziyi has the talent of the world, he is not the commander in chief who seeks thieves. He is always constrained by others, and the governor does not accept every suggestion. How can he put down the rebellion?"

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Qing, let's talk about Zhou Ziyi's deeds. If he really has the talent to lead the army, I can designate him as the commander-in-chief of hunting for thieves."

Although Zhou Qi has done so many things, but to the emperor, he is always a low-level role.

It is estimated that only the crusade against the Yellow Turban's first meritorious service was remembered by the emperor.

But these years, there are too many things that the emperor needs to think about, and Zhou Qi is far away from the court, so he gradually forgets about it.

Although the emperor valued Gai Xun, he also knew that the big man really couldn't fail anymore.

Therefore, he was much more cautious this time. He wanted to learn more about Zhou Qi's past and see if he was really qualified for the position of head coach against thieves.

Gai Xun was overjoyed when he heard this.

Liangzhou is Gai Xun's hometown. He loves this land deeply and naturally does not want Liangzhou to always be occupied by thieves.

Gai Xun had great trust in Zhou Qi's ability to lead the army, so he strongly recommended it in front of the emperor.

To know.

Nowadays, the situation in Liangzhou is in chaos. Four governors of Liangzhou attacked thieves, three were dismissed from office, and one died in battle.

Even the two famous generals Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen raised tens of thousands of troops to fight against the thieves, but they could not get any benefits.

Now that there are more thieves in Liangzhou, there is no longer any worries, and the difficulty of crusade has doubled.

At this time, Gai Xun was taking a huge risk by recommending Zhou Qi to lead his troops to defeat the thieves. If he failed to defeat the thieves or was defeated, even Gai Xun would be implicated.

Even so, Gai Xun did it without hesitation.

It can also be seen from this that Gai Xun trusts and values ​​Zhou Qi.

Facing the emperor's inquiry, Gai Xun didn't hold back at all. From Zhou Qi's revenge for his grandfather, he killed the Prime Minister of Pei Wang Ji in anger, to being recruited by Sili Colonel Yang Qiu to help him eradicate Wang Fu and his gang members, and persuaded him to All the things that Jian Yangqiu was suspected of came out one by one.

After the Emperor heard that Zhou Qi had repaid evil with kindness, and even though Yang Qiu was already dead, he still risked his life by being wanted by Cao Jie and secretly escorted Yang Qiu's family thousands of miles away, the dusty memories of the Emperor gradually came to mind.

"What a wonderful man who is loving, righteous, loyal and filial!"

that's it.

With Gai Xun's spare no effort to praise him, the emperor's affection for Zhou Qi was infinitely full, and finally sighed: "It is my fault that I failed to reward and reuse such a loyal, patriotic and capable man."

"I want to worship him as the general of the left chariot, leading the army to suppress the rebellion."

"If he succeeds in suppressing thieves, I will not be stingy with rewards, and I will also grant him a title!"

Gai Xun was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly kowtowed: "If your majesty gives you such an important position, Zhou Ziyi will definitely be furious and will not hesitate to do anything."

The emperor said sternly: "Gai Qing, don't be too happy. Now that the treasury is empty, it is difficult to support a long-term large-scale war. I can only give Zhou Ziyi half a year."

"If we can quell the rebellion in half a year, I will not be stingy with rewards, and I will not interfere in military affairs during this period."

"The half-year period has expired. If Zhou Ziyi still cannot quell the rebellion, I will also punish him for the crime of suppressing the thieves!"
