The Heroic Biography of Little People

"These...these damned eunuchs dare to show off their might at this old man."

As expected by Li Shushi and others, as the Nanyang war entered the see-saw stage and the impact of Zhang Jiao's death, those eunuchs who had been dormant jumped out again under the instruction of some people.And this time, it was Zhu Jun, the right middle man who was recruited.

It was no different from Lu Zhi's attitude towards the eunuchs back then. Zhu Jun also vehemently refused to bribe the eunuchs, and even beat up a young eunuch who obviously felt too good about himself.And if the three brothers Liu Pan and Zhang who were brought back to the disheartened memories hadn't been for Sun Jian's sharp eyesight and quick hands, I'm afraid that the team representing the emperor would have left a few corpses behind.

It is precisely because of such treatment that the eunuchs' counterattack will inevitably be very fierce, and Zhu Jun knows this very well.However, compared to the upright Lu Zhi, with Lu Zhi's fate as a lesson from the past, Zhu Jun is obviously more comfortable in dealing with such problems.As soon as the eunuch left, Zhu Jun ordered his other Sima Zhang Chao to draft several secret letters and send them to Luoyang by fast horse.

As for the result, the old general can only resign himself to fate.For him, those difficult Yellow Turban soldiers are obviously much simpler and cute than those bigwigs with extremely complicated brains in the court.

Of course, Zhu Jun was luckier than Lu Zhi this time, except that Zhu Jun already had Lu Zhi as a lesson for the past, and also because he was surrounded by the equally upright governor of Jingzhou, Xu Que, and a popular political star in the court, Han. Liu Yan, the family clan relative.

"It's not that Mr. Zhu is ignorant of what happened to Mr. Lu. Those eunuchs with incomplete limbs can't do anything. However, I heard that the new Master Sikong Zhang seems to be working hard to contact scholars to remove the stigma of Mr. Lu. If you want to come to those I'm afraid the eunuch doesn't have much energy to trouble you. Besides, with those letters, Lord Sikong will take care of them."

Unlike Xu Yan, who is more upright and radical in thinking, Liu Yan is much more tactful, so in his opinion, it is not something to praise for confronting the eunuch head-on.However, considering the incompatible situation between the party members and the eunuchs and the fact that many people who were not party members took the initiative to confront the eunuchs for the sake of reputation, Liu Yan was also afraid that his words would become map bombs.

"What Mr. Liu sees is the problem of party struggle, but the most troublesome thing for You Zhonglang now is not this."

Over there, Zhu Jun and others are discussing the countermeasures intensively, and here Li Shushi is also expressing his views on this matter with Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others.Although these people are not familiar with the strategies of those bigwigs in the court, they can't stand that there is a traveler who is familiar with the historical trend, and this traveler also got the amazing reason for the Yellow Turban Uprising from Zhang Jiao.

"Why did you say that, Brother Shushi? I heard that General Huangfu promised before that he would definitely contact the important officials in the court to defend the teacher. Even if You Zhonglang was framed by the eunuchs this time, he would be able to deal with it on his behalf."

Although this is what he said, whether Liu Bei or Sun Jian, his brows did not relax because of this.After all, even if Lu Zhi was acquitted, Emperor Liu Hong would not be able to reinstate Lu Zhi for the sake of his own face. The most likely thing would be to take out a pension and let Lu Zhi go back to his hometown to retire.Of course, Lu Zhi didn't even have to think about directly recommending students.

And if Zhu Jun came here again, the two of them couldn't help but smile wryly at each other when they thought of this.

"Shushi, just tell me, what aspect of You Zhonglang can be grasped by those eunuchs. The battle in Nanyang is going well now, and the Yellow Turban Army is about to be destroyed. Those eunuchs can use this as an excuse to talk nonsense what?"

Sun Jian is a sharp-eyed warrior on the battlefield. In the officialdom, except for knowing the old saying "there are people in the court who are good officials", his eyes are darkened, so he is really impatient about the twists and turns. It's annoying.

"Don't look at me, I'm actually speculating and selling now." Although Li Shushi seemed to be selling it again, it was a pity that Sun Jian and Liu Bei greeted him with threatening smiling faces, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind him turned a blind eye to the situation. Next, Li Xiaozheng softened immediately.

"Okay, okay, don't stare at us like this, we will be shy... Hey..." Well, it seems that being malicious and cute is not good.

"Forget it, let's put it this way, Mr. Wentai may not be very clear. I think Mr. Xuande should have a personal experience. Lu Beizhonglang was in Jizhou at the time, just like Zhu Youzhonglang is in Nanyang now. Both are After a hard battle, it was very easy to compress the Yellow Turban Army's strength into a small area. At the beginning, Lu Gong surrounded Guangzong, where Zhang Jiao was located, and now You Zhonglang surrounded Wancheng, the last stronghold of the Yellow Turban Army. It can be said that victory is in sight. when."

"When you said that, I remembered that the situation at that time was like this. I remember that Lu Gong was exhausted because of the long battle in Julu City, and Zhang Jiao had hoarded a large number of troops in Guangzong City. If he attacked rashly, he would not only Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, it may dampen the morale of the army. Therefore, in order to rest and reorganize the troops and wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in other areas of Jizhou, Division Lu adopted the tactic of encircling Guangzong City without fighting. Otherwise, Division Lu would not A decision will be made to let me go south to support the Yingchuan battlefield."

When Liu Bei heard Li Shushi's guidance, he immediately recalled the situation at that time, and at the same time, he immediately understood what Li Shushi wanted to express.That's right, Lu Zhi's refusal to fight Zhang Jiao was framed by the eunuch as being unfavorable for the march, even though Lu Zhi had liberated most of Jizhou before, and compressed Zhang Jiao's influence to a minimum.

Perhaps it should be said so, and it is precisely because of this that the court dared to replace Lu Zhi with confidence.It's a pity that Dong Zhuo performed a good show that caught the court by surprise, and Liu Hong's little plan failed to start.

"In other words, Duke Lu's original excuse can now be used again on General Zhu Youzhong Lang."

Sun Jian looked at Liu Bei who also had a bitter smile on his face with a wry smile, his tone full of exhaustion.But he, Ma Shan, noticed the disapproving expression on Li Shushi's face, and suddenly felt a feeling called "hope".

"Okay, Shushi, don't keep it up, you can see that things are turning around by looking at you."

"Hehe, speaking of this matter, I have to thank Dong Zhongying for her great performance."

Speaking of this matter, it was the conclusion that Li Shushi had just discussed with Cheng Yu and others. Now it is just used to pretend to be in front of Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and judging from the expressions of the two people, it seems that the effect is not bad.

"At the beginning, the imperial court deprived Duke Lu of his command under such a favorable situation. As a result, his successor, Dong Zhuo, easily wiped out the advantages accumulated by Duke Lu. After this incident, our clever Your Majesty will never dare to let it happen again. So unless You Zhonglang completely defeats the Yellow Turban Army or loses a big battle, the position of You Zhonglang is still stable."

"But if You Zhonglang defeats the Lord, then the imperial court will not attack him easily."

As soon as Sun Jian thought of this, he immediately put his previous troubles to the back of his mind.In Li Shushi's eyes, he had to admit that the world of this rough guy was really simple enough.

"It's not that easy~ Even if you can't win You Zhonglang, it's okay to put some pressure, at least not everyone can do something like 'will not accept the fate of the king outside'. If the court finds a reason such as If the Qiang people from the north invade Sanfu and ask You Zhonglang to end the war in Nanyang as soon as possible, I am afraid that You Zhonglang's previous plan will be in vain."

"The harm of two powers can only be the lesser." Huang Gai's words expressed everyone's inner thoughts.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't we have more credit for it?"

I really don't know what Sun Jian's head is made of. Even in this situation, he can think of things that are beneficial to him, making people come out of the previous frustration immediately and revive their morale.

"That's right, for us pawns, as long as General Zhu Youzhong is fine, the most important thing is to make more contributions." Li Shushi's words obviously won the support of everyone present, everyone looked at each other and smiled, it is more than words.

The subsequent development was exactly as Li Shushi said. After the little eunuch returned to Luoyang, he immediately impeached Zhu Jun for slack in military affairs, not thinking about progress, disrupting people's livelihood, and embezzling spoils of war. Pulled off the horse like Zhi Zhi.

It's a pity that this time Liu Hong obviously learned the lesson from Lu Zhi.You must know that although Nanyang is not talking about ten rooms and nine empty spaces, the people's livelihood has already withered. If the Yellow Turban Army is repeated again, it will have an extremely adverse impact on the surrounding Henan, Nanjun, Jiangxia and Yingchuan counties. I am afraid that what is recovered is no longer money, but a mess that needs to be thrown away.

For money calculations, Liu Hong has always been very shrewd. Coupled with the activities of the new Sikong and Zhang Wen, Liu Hong will follow suit.Anyway, Zhang Wen spent nearly 1000 million yuan to buy this position of Sikong. In order to make people more motivated in the future, Liu Hong can't let him stop for such a trivial matter when he first came to power.

However, Zhu Jun is not the style of eunuchs at such a cheap price.Just as Li Shushi said to Sun Jian and Liu Bei, in addition to good words of appeasement, the court's decree also issued a request to quickly end the war in Nanyang, and the reason was even more high-sounding.

"Hateful Qiang people, hateful southern barbarians, I will tear these damned guys to pieces sooner or later."

Regarding the imperial court's decree, Zhu Jun really couldn't criticize anything, after all, what was said there was the truth.Among the several strong troops in the Great Han Dynasty Hall, Dong Zhuo was in a freezing period because of that performance, so basically few of his arrogant soldiers were able to command them.Huangfusong is making every effort to recover Jizhou, and Ding Yuan needs to withstand the Huns and Xianbei who are about to move.Zou Jing and Gongsun Zan also had to face the restless Karasuma and Ji people in the northwest of Youzhou.

Therefore, the Nanyang Front Army led by Zhu Jun, who saw that the war could end at any time, became the largest recruiting place for the imperial court.

"Mr. Zhu, your situation is considered good. Look at Meng Yu. Even if you are guilty and meritorious, you will be sent to some terrible place in the end."

Because he offended Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of today's son Liu Hong, Xu Yan was also charged with several crimes by the eunuchs.For this kind of action that has nothing to do with the overall situation and can vent his anger for his mother, Liu Hong of course gave the green light.So, Xu Qiu also became a grasshopper on Zhu Jun's rope.

"Forget it, state affairs are important, let's study how to quickly solve this trouble in front of us."

Although he said so, Zhu Jun knew that although he would solve a big problem this time, he would leave behind countless small problems.If not handled properly, these little troubles can turn into big troubles again.

"Forget it, anyway, I can't take care of it anymore..."

Looking at the huge military map in front of him, Zhu Jun could only comfort himself in this way.
