Chapter 95 Bad News

"What?! What did you say?!"

"Our army was defeated. The two leaders of Doosi Wolu and the hundred cavalry commanders under them were all killed in battle..."

Listening to the report of the defeated troops, the silver-haired Luoluotuo, the commander of ten thousand cavalry who had not yet recovered from the pain of losing his son, suddenly softened and fell over as if he had been hit hard.

"leader!"

"Chief!"

"Send to the witch doctor quickly, send to the witch doctor!"

Luoluotuo's brother-in-law, Milan, who was known as a wise man, finally took a breath and walked out of the tent after seeing the witch doctor come in to provide first aid.

He looked at the stars in the sky and frowned, understanding Loluoto's pain.

Tragic, too miserable.

How could it be like this? There were more than 2,000 people, but less than 800 escaped!

However, what makes them more sad than the casualties is the total destruction of the officer corps.

That's right, almost all the noble leaders in the army were beheaded, and the defeated soldiers who escaped were also terrified and couldn't bear to fight anymore.

You must know that these two thousand people are direct descendants of Wan Qi Zhang!

This defeat, coupled with the disastrous defeat of the Xiba tribe, caused their Ten Thousand Cavalry Team to lose almost one-third of its combat effectiveness.

However, this enemy seems to be the main force of more than a hundred people at most.

No, the real threat, if what those defeated troops said is true, is probably the red-robed general...

Yes, the wise man Milan listened carefully to the rumors of the defeated soldiers and pieced together a truth close to the truth from those exaggerated descriptions.

A warrior who is stronger than everyone else. He can wear a helmet and armor and wield a long metal spear on a horse to gallop and kill.

He also possesses miraculous archery skills like a vulture shooter, and transforms into the most cunning hunter at night.

But after confirming these, Milan was not so nervous.

After all, an individual's martial prowess is limited. As long as it can be restricted and forced into a desperate situation...

"Wise man...does he have a plan?"

Entering the tent again, the silver-haired Luo Luotuo had slowly woken up. His expression was tired, but there was endless hatred in his eyes.

At this time, coincidentally, the head of the Ten Constant Attendants in Luoyang Palace also had lingering hatred in his eyes.

——Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang.

He was kneeling in front of the emperor, his head lowered, and he kept begging for forgiveness, no longer living up to his former dignity.

"This slave is guilty, this slave is ignorant, this slave has failed His Majesty's holy grace!"

Zhang Rang was so filled with hatred that his eyes almost burst into flames as he stared at the floor.

I never expected that after two dynasties, I was so honorable, but ended up falling over twice in a row in just a few years.

The last time I knelt down and begged for mercy was because of the traitor named Wang Yun.

But now, he once again had to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. How could he not hate it!
Yes, I have to say that the efficiency of information dissemination in ancient times was really low.

With this kind of efficiency, coupled with the initial concealment and delay by the relevant people, it was not until nearly half a month passed that the Luoyang Palace finally reacted to Su Yao's angry killing of Xiao Huangmen.

Zhang Rang, however, was the last one to learn about it.

"This slave is guilty, this slave is guilty! I beg your majesty to save my life!"

Emperor Liu Hong felt furious when he looked at the report on the case that was jointly sent by Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, Zang Min, the governor of Taiyuan County, and other magistrates of Taiyuan County.

This report simply put Liu Hong on the fire during today's court meeting.

It was obvious that he had killed a waiter.

But those in the outer court said that he favored eunuchs and was close to villains, so that rewards and punishments were unclear, which triggered a mutiny. Thanks to their proper handling, it did not lead to a big disaster.

So through this incident, those party members caused another disturbance, targeting the inner court.

All the ministers said that they would kill the eunuchs to calm the resentment of the border troops.

If he hadn't acted arbitrarily in the end and interrupted the court meeting, I don't know what the trouble would have been.

Now back in the inner court, when there are no outsiders, Liu Hong finally changed his expression and showed the anger of the emperor that he had not seen for a long time!
He didn't expect that this dog slave would be so shameless that he would even dare to get involved in such a big thing in his personal grudge.

Could it be that he let him go so easily last time, which made this dog slave feel contemptuous of him?
Yes, this is Liu Hong's true thoughts. In fact, he does not respect Zhang Rang as much as he appears on the surface.

Father? He may have had such thoughts when he was young, but now.

Shit, Zhang Rang is worthy of a mutilated eunuch? !

He, Liu Hong, is the emperor, the Supreme Being, and a lonely man.

Where is the family bond?
It was nothing more than the need to stabilize the inner court and the use of eunuchs to check and balance the outer court.

But just like He Jin gradually outgrew his humble background with the passage of time, and began to flirt with wealthy families.

Zhang Rang, the weapon Liu Hong used to seize power in the outer court, had backlash against him more and more seriously.
"Do you still remember what you told me?"

"Verification..."

"Is this how you sent someone to check?!"

Liu Hong threw the fabricated confession to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang didn't even look at it, he just kept kowtowing:

"Your Majesty, this servant is stupid and uses you inhumanely!
I beg Your Majesty to spare this slave’s life out of consideration for her decades of diligent service! "

Why is Zhang Rang so scared?
Because the mutiny of the border army was simply the biggest disgrace in Liu Hong's heart!

The emperor in his prime couldn't bear to hear the news.

Just the slightest hint of it would make him furious.

Without him, Liu Hong had been exhausted by the mutiny of these border troops over the years.

One of the biggest crises facing the Han Dynasty at present is the Qiang rebellion in Xiliang.

The biggest reason why the Xiliang Qiang rebellion intensified was that the local Han soldiers and Yi Cong (the surrendered Hu and Qiang troops) were dissatisfied with the court, launched a mutiny, and joined forces with the Qiang people.

Just last year, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou sent by Liu Hong, was killed by his subordinate Ma Teng and led the people to rebel and join forces with Han Sui.

To this day, these Liangzhou troops are still attacking the Sanfu area (surrounding Chang'an).

At present, let alone regaining Xiliang, the imperial court can keep Chang'an intact because of the blessing of the ancestors.

At the same time, another group of Youzhou leaders, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, who were former Zhongshan Prime Minister and Taishan Governor, gathered the Wuhuan Hu people to launch a rebellion that became increasingly fierce and difficult to quell for a long time.

For these two major events, the imperial court not only spent a large amount of military expenditures, but also had to delegate power in Youzhou to Liu Yu. This was all digging into Liu Hong's roots. What he cared about most in his life was money and power!
Therefore, the imperial court had no time to care about the issue of the Hu and Baibo troops in Bingzhou. It only asked Dingyuan Tun to garrison Hanoi and keep an eye on the northern line of the Yellow River to protect the safety of Luoyang.

In other words, they actually gave up the safety of Bingzhou and let each family protect themselves.

At this time, you told Liu Hong that the Bingzhou Army was also going to mutiny? !

If they also follow the rebellious behavior of Liangzhou and Youzhou, and then unite with the Hu people and the Yellow Turban Army.

At the current position of the Bingzhou Army, Liu Hong might lose his head overnight if he suddenly moves south.

So when he saw the memorials by Ding Yuan and others, Liu Hong's hair stood up, as if a sharp knife was held to his neck.

Liu Hong felt nakedly threatened.

It no longer matters whether the little village chief has merit or not.

The important thing is that the Bingzhou army must not be in chaos.

"His Majesty"

He Jin, who had enjoyed watching the show, finally stood up. He suppressed the laughter in his heart and said seriously:

"I don't know Zhang Chang's identity, but the crime will not lead to death. In my opinion, this matter should not be delayed for a long time. It would be better for my general's office to send someone to go there, so as to comfort him and eliminate the disaster."

Seeing He Jin's good behavior, Zhang Rang was relieved. His first reaction was that he didn't let his godson marry He Jin's sister in vain.

But the reason why He Jin became such a good person was not entirely because of the in-law friendship, but more because he knew that the emperor could not kill the eunuch.

He Jin and the eunuch were the right-hand men of Emperor Liu Hong. Their two hands could have conflicts and even fight with each other, but no one could and could not remove the other's arm.

Unless the head of this body is gone
Sure enough, after He Jin's persuasion, Emperor Liu Hong also followed the donkey downhill. Of course, it was impossible for him to give up his arms and comply with the wishes of those in the outer court, but the related beatings were indispensable.

The intrigues and interests among the three monarchs and ministers in the palace will not be shown.

Finally, Liu Hong remembered something and asked quietly:

"Do you think the village chief named Su Yao is capable?"

"what?"
