The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 11 The Xingyang Riot
Cai Yong walked out of the study room and saw a sharp word "Sword" engraved on a stone in the courtyard. He could even feel the faint murderous aura in this word, so he couldn't help nodding his head in admiration: "This word is really well written, I don't know Whose work is it?"

A passerby servant replied: "Master, this word was engraved by Mr. Li when he practiced his sword in the morning."

"Is it Wen Zhong? It turns out that his calligraphy is still so accomplished." Cai Yong was originally a famous calligrapher, and being able to win his praise shows that Li Yuan's calligraphy has achieved a little achievement, which also has a lot to do with his practice of calligraphy in his previous life. .

The servant continued: "Young Master Li not only writes well, but also composes poems."

The servants read the poems written by Li Yuan in the Yashihui. After listening to them, Cai Yong sighed: "This son is really an all-rounder. He can master strategy, calligraphy, poetry and martial arts. He can receive such a gift in his later years." My apprentice is also my luck."

But when I think about it, I feel a little contradictory. How can such a talented person not like reading? ? ? ? ? ?
In the following period of time, Cai Yong took Li Yuan to visit his friends in court from time to time, and introduced him to everyone. Li Yuan was of course willing to accept it, and being able to enter Cai Yong's circle would have a certain impact on his future pursuit of official positions. s help.

Li Yuan knew that there would be a riot in Xingyang in a few months, and the imperial court would send a large army to suppress it, so he wanted to get an official position to participate in this battle, so as to increase his reputation, so he wanted to be a Cai Yong's disciple, but only Cai Yong's support is not enough, if you want to win the emperor's personal title in the court, you need the support of one person, that is Zhang Rang!
Cai Yong's family and Zhang Rang are originally opposites, so even if Cai Yong is willing to help Li Yuan get an official position, Zhang Rang will definitely object, not to mention that today's son prefers to listen to Zhang Rang, so we still need to work hard on Zhang Rang just do.

In February of the fourth year of Zhongping, everything was as Li Yuan expected. The people of Xingyang County revolted, and the rebel army attacked Xingyang City and beheaded the master Pan Ye, and the momentum gradually became stronger.The emperor immediately summoned the courtiers to discuss the matter.

In the court, everyone was discussing one after another. Looking at the messy group of officials, Emperor Ling couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Zhang Rang came out and reprimanded him: "Hmph, everyone, be quiet. I didn't expect that just after repelling the Yellow Turban Army, there would be another Criticizing traitors is really daring, these people are really extremely sinful and cannot be forgiven!"

Cai Yong couldn't help cursing secretly, you, Zhang Rang, are in the court and you don't know the hardships of the people. If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, who would rebel?

Emperor Ling didn't have too many ideas, he glanced at Zhang Rang beside him, and asked, "I don't know what trick Rang father has to suppress the rebels."

Zhang Rang cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, we don't need to soften our hearts to the rebels, we just need to send an army to wipe them out."

"Then send General Huangfusong and Lu Zhi to lead [-] troops each to Xingyang to suppress the rebels." Lingdi thought to himself that the last time he fought against the Yellow Turban Army was relying on these two people, so he might as well send them this time. It's easy to do.

But General He Jin stepped out to stop him and said, "Your Majesty, you must not send General Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi there."

"Why can't they be sent to lead the army?" Lingdi and Zhang Rang both looked puzzled.

He Jin explained: "General Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi are both famous generals in our Han Dynasty. Last time the Yellow Turban Army was so powerful that we sent them to lead the suppression. But this Xingyang riot is nothing more than a minor disturbance. If we send them again It’s really overkill to go there, and you will even be ridiculed by those who are interested in our majestic Han Dynasty. Is it true that even the little rebels have to send the court generals to exterminate them, and there is no one available.”

"The general is right, so who should we send to go?"

"Your Majesty, my younger brother He Miao is familiar with military books and is proficient in military strategy. It is most appropriate to send him to suppress the rebels." He Jin immediately recommended his family. Such a task is not too dangerous, and he can master the military exploits of course. It's my family.

Hearing the words, the ministers of the court could not help ridiculing in secret, thinking that what your general He Jin said just now was so high-sounding, it was not for the sake of his own power and interests. There are many good fighters in the majestic Han Dynasty, and you just want to send you to be unknown It is really shameless to go to the brother of the clan, and dare to claim that he is proficient in military books and military strategy.

Although all the ministers were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything more. After all, He Jin was the great general of the dynasty, and he held the military power. No one dared to say the slightest complaint.

"Okay, if that's the case, then according to what the General said, send He Miao there??????"

Emperor Ling was about to give an order, but at this moment Cai Yong came out to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I have something to say, and please listen to me, Your Majesty."

"I don't know what Cai Zhonglang has to say?" Emperor Ling looked at Cai Yong dissatisfied. Today was the second time he was interrupted. If it wasn't for Cai Yong's prestige in the court, he would definitely reprimand him on the spot.

Cai Yong replied: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, it is not safe enough to send only He Miao."

Before Emperor Ling could reply, General He Jin interjected, "Hmph, why is my younger brother He Miao not safe enough? Could it be that Cai Zhonglang, a civil servant, knows the art of war better than me?"

"General, although I dare not say that I am proficient in the art of war, I still know a thing or two. Although He Miao is familiar with military books, his experience is still inexperienced, and he has no experience in leading troops alone. , if there is a problem, it will be safer to discuss it with someone, so I think we should send another person to assist General He Miao."

Cai Yong's words were more pertinent. He did not point out that He Miao was not strong enough, but that He Miao lacked experience, so he recommended one person to assist, and everyone felt acceptable after hearing it.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Emperor Ling asked, "Who does Cai Zhonglang think it is safer to send to assist He Miao?"

"I have a student who is proficient in military strategy and strong in martial arts. It is most suitable for him to go." Cai Yong recommended Li Yuan without hesitation. After getting along with him for several months, Cai Yong already knew enough about Li Yuan. Li Yuan is more proficient in military strategy and martial arts than literature, so he dared to recommend Li Yuan.

In fact, at the beginning Cai Yong was unwilling to recommend Li Yuan to go to the court. Although he knew Li Yuan's talent, he was white after all and had no seniority in the court. Others objected, but Li Yuan told him before going to court that he had his own way, so Cai Yong was willing to give it a try.

He Jin sneered and said, "Cai Zhonglang, didn't you slap yourself in the face? Just now you said that my brother He Miao is inexperienced, but now I have never even heard of the person you recommend. How can you help my brother suppress the rebels?" thief!"

Cai Yong did not fight back, but gave Wang Yun a wink not far away. Wang Yun immediately understood, stood up and said: "The general's words are wrong. Although Li Yuan is white, he is Tong Yuan, a famous marksman in the world. He is not only a master of Tong Yuan's true biography, but also proficient in the art of war, he is a rare talent, such a talent should be reused."

Some ministers with good relations with Cai Yong and Wang Yun stood up to support, while ministers with He Jin opposed it.

Emperor Ling felt a headache when he saw this, and ordered: "Stop all of them, what a shame!"

Seeing Emperor Ling's power, everyone dared not quarrel anymore, but He Jin and Cai Yong still confronted each other and were not convinced.

Emperor Ling was also very embarrassed, now he could only rely on Zhang Rang beside him, and asked, "Father Rang, what do you think?"

Cai Yong felt a little nervous when he saw Emperor Ling asking Zhang Rang. In his opinion, Zhang Rang had always been at odds with him, and even sent someone to assassinate him, so how could he help.

Zhang Rang thought for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty, let's see what kind of character Li Yuan is before making a decision."

Emperor Ling nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do what Rang father said, Cai Zhonglang, I don't know where Li Yuan is now, can you let him go to court immediately?"

"Your Majesty, Li Yuan has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and he can come in at any time." Cai Yong brought Li Yuan here this morning, but he did not let Li Yuan in.

"Alright, call him in." Emperor Ling ordered.
