Pound is very young, tall and broad, with a big face with sharp edges and high cheekbones, a pair of calm and energetic eyes, heroic and resolute, bold and rough, with a slightly immature expression.Under the guidance of Zhang Yun, he strode into the army tent.Xian Yufu went up to meet them, and after greeting each other, he asked, "Pang Dao has come from a long way, what can you do with me?"

Pang De said in a low voice: "I am here to ask to see Mr. Li."

Xian Yufu was startled, but the smile on his face remained the same, and he said loudly: "Master Li was in Jincheng to discuss with the rebel army. Don't you know about it? Master Li probably won't be back for some time. If Mr. Pang Da must meet He can only wait for the adults to come back from Jincheng."

Pang De looked solemn, and said softly: "Master Li has already crossed the Yellow River and returned quietly from the Kuishan trail, why should your lord hide it?"

Xian Yufu was shocked, and smiled more kindly, "Pang Pang told a joke."

Pang De took a step back, bowed again, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, if you want to see your lord. Your lord will be escorted by Xiliang hermit Teacher Fan all the way back from Jincheng. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to see you." Ask Mr. Li for confirmation."

Xian Yufu pondered for a while, then looked at Zhang He.Zhang He hurriedly withdrew from the tent.

Xian Yufu asked Pound to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Where have I heard of this hermit from Xiliang?"

Pang De had just sat down, when he heard the words, he stood up hurriedly, bowed and saluted, "My lord..."

Xian Yufu stretched out his hand to hold him, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite, you just sit and talk. I remember that he is very famous in Xiliang, and he once went to Xiqiang with General Duan, right?"

"Yes, he is a peerless master in the hearts of Xiliang warriors, and his status is respected. Twenty years ago, in the eighth year (20) of Emperor Yanxi, General Duan Jiong led his troops to conquer the Dangjian tribe of the Qiang people in Huangzhong. The ambush of the Qiang people was surrounded. At that time, the two masters of Xiliang, Mr. Fan Zhi and Mr. Zhang Ce, accompanied the general. They were ordered by the general to enter the camp of the Qiang people at night and beheaded calmly among tens of thousands of troops. The Qiang people were the commanders of the three major canals of the Jian tribe. The Qiang people lost their leader, and chaos ensued. General Duan took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack at night, defeated the Qiang Hu, and beheaded thousands of people. After this battle, the two teachers became famous all over the world."

At this moment, Li Hong opened the curtain and walked in. He said with a smile, "Thank you, Lao Nie, for inviting such a peerless expert to send me back." Then he cupped his hands at Pound, "I was negligent just now. Big man, please forgive me."

Pound looked at him in surprise.

"This is Li Zhonglang, Master Li." Xian Yufu introduced with a smile, "Aren't you too young?"

Startled, Pang De hurriedly got up and bowed to salute, "Your official, Cao Pangde, a thief from Longxi County, has seen your lord."
Li Hong took two quick steps, grabbed his hands, and said with a smile, "Pang Da is very young."

Pound blushed, and said embarrassingly: "The officer was rude just now, I was rude."

Li Hong waved his hand indifferently, and asked, "How old are you this year? Have you worked for the county government at such a young age?"

Pound blushed even more, and he whispered: "Xiaguan just turned 17 years old this year. Mr. Ma, the southern captain, is a family friend with my family. This time, he recommended him to be the head of the guard for Mr. Li, the prefect. I will serve in the county government It's not been a few days, I hope you will forgive me for being rude."

Li Hong and Xian Yufu looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"To be the leader of the guards? A thief under the door?" Li Hong asked with a smile, "Then your martial arts must be very high?"

Pound smiled, looking very confident.

"Man Pang Da, how did you know I came back? Who told you? You have to make it clear." Li Hong patted him affectionately and smiled, "If you don't know clearly, I'm afraid you have to kill to save your life. "

Pang De laughed at what Li Hong said, and he asked, "My lord, who is that old Nie you mentioned just now?"

"It's Nie Xiao, he is Xiao Qushuai from Sister Le's tribe."

Suddenly, Pang De said with a smile: "He is not qualified to invite Teacher Fan, this is all arranged by Teacher Bian."

Li Hong hesitated for a while, and asked, "How dare Lao Nie betray me?"

"Nie Xiao doesn't know about this." Pound laughed, "My lord, don't misunderstand him. The owner of the Wubao family you live in is named Yan, and he is a friend of Mr. Bian. Mr. Bian heard that Mr. Bian's subordinates rushed to Yunwu secretly. , It is estimated that the adults are going to leave, so Teacher Fan and his disciples are specially invited to escort the adults to ensure the safety of the adults."

"Mr. Bian bothered you." Li Hong said gratefully, "No wonder that old Nie looked a bit wrong when he introduced Senior Fan to me that day." He glanced at Pang De and said with a smile, "Are you Senior Fan's disciple? "

"Yes." Pound smiled slightly, "After I received the teacher's news in Lueyang, I came here immediately."

When Li Hong came to his senses, he asked happily, "Are you also Mr. Bian's disciple? Did Mr. Bian ask you to bring me something?"

Pang De smiled and said, "Exactly, I was entrusted by my teacher to secretly bring the things to Lueyang."

"That's great." Li Hong bowed and thanked you, "Thank you so much. After my lord returns, tell Mr. Bian that I will never break my promise, and I will definitely fulfill his wish."

Pound bowed and said, "Your servant must bring it."

Li Hong turned around and waved to Zhang Yun and said, "Junyi, immediately send an order to Master Heng to assemble four thousand cavalry and go to Lueyang with Master Pang."

Liu Yu slowly put down the melody in his hand, looked at the gloomy Son of Heaven, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Li Zhonglang's melody, although the facts are solid, involves too much, so it's better to be cautious."

The emperor sneered and said, "I have my own measure. I called you to ask you, where is the evidence sent by Li Zhonglang? Why didn't you give it to me?"

Liu Yu was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I just received it and haven't read it carefully, so..."

"Bring it immediately." The Son of Heaven said in a stern tone, unquestionably, "Don't be smart, do you think Li Zhonglang is an idiot?"

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yu was a little scared, but he mustered up his courage and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please think twice. If you are arrested according to this list, Luoyang will be in chaos. Now the Northern Army is on an expedition..."

"Yes." The emperor opened his small eyes, raised his short eyebrows, and said loudly, "Aiqing is right. Immediately issue an order to order the Northern Army to rush back to Luoyang day and night."

Liu Yu rolled his eyes, regretting and complaining about his talkativeness.Not only did he fail to persuade him, but he reminded the emperor and called the army back.This Li Hong, it's fine to poke around in Xiliang, but he even encourages His Majesty to crack down on corruption in Luoyang.This kid is getting worse and worse now, and he even defended himself.This idiot, what channel did he find to send news to His Majesty?

Liu Yu was thinking wildly here, and the emperor spoke again.

"Let Zhijinwu Zhenju come back with the Northern Army, and remember to ask him to bring back the money and silk that he confiscated."

Liu Yu hurriedly agreed, and then remonstrated: "Your Majesty, this incident will affect the whole body..."

The emperor waved at him, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.Liu Yu looked at him in panic.

"Don't worry, I don't kill people. Why kill people? It's not good for me at all. If there is no one in the court, who do I talk to? Who do I ask for money? I just took the opportunity to scrape their oil. Yesterday, the king of Dasinong My lord cried to me in the court, saying that there is no money in the national treasury." The emperor picked up Li Hong's secret performance, shook it, and said, "Isn't this just money? I am in Luoyang, in the Kanto area, scraping 100 billion yuan Shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Liu Yu was tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.

"Aiqing doesn't believe it?" The emperor smiled strangely, and said, "Li Zhonglang in a poor place like Xiliang, can copy more than a billion yuan by random copying, but I can't copy 100 billion yuan in a rich place like Luoyang." money?"

Liu Yu smiled wryly.

"You don't want to be a minister anymore." The emperor carefully folded Li Hong's melody, looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You have worked hard recently, you have done a lot for me, and you have recommended me If you are a pillar of the country, I will promote you to Guang Lu Xun."

Guang Luxun is in charge of the security affairs in the palace, but its actual power is far more than that.The emperor's think tank team is concentrated here, and it is also the place where alternate officials are trained intensively.There are two thousand stones in Guanglu Xun's salary, silver seal and green ribbon, and he is a very big official.

Liu Yu first heard what the emperor said about his official position. He was very depressed and complained about himself. Suddenly, he heard the emperor named him Guang Luxun. He was overjoyed and kowtowed happily on the ground, shouting "Long live..." over and over again.

"Get up, get up." The emperor waved his hands and said to Liu Yu, "Don't let this matter out, otherwise these people will transfer the money, and I won't be able to copy the money. You know, I haven't had any money for a long time. You have done such an exciting thing, don't spoil my interest."

Since the army of the Western Expedition and the army of Xiliang Honzhou successively entered Liangzhou, in order to facilitate management and coordination, Zhang Wen ordered that the grain and grass of the army entering Liangzhou should be uniformly allocated by the Liangzhou Governor's Department.It was precisely because Geng Bi had this right that he easily withheld food from [-] captives for various reasons.

"Master Geng said that those captives, especially the Qiang people, would be fine if they didn't kill them. Why should they be fed twice a day? He said that they shouldn't be spared in the first place, and they should all be killed." Xian Yu Fu said angrily, "It's hard to talk about it, so he promised to give each person a liter of ration every day. What do you eat with a liter of ration? It's not bad if you don't starve to death."

Qu Yi smiled angrily: "Is there any evidence about Geng Bi's corruption in the evidence collected by Lao Bian? If there is, we will arrest him first."

Li Hong smiled and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, there are still ways." He turned to look at Zuo Yan, and asked, "Is there any evidence about Geng Bi?"

"No." Zuo Yan said, "Geng Bi only took office last fall. At that time, the old side had already rebelled. How did he collect evidence of Geng Bi's corruption? You should stop wishful thinking and think of other ways."

"A big manhunt is about to start, but something like this happened." Tian Zhong grabbed his little goatee and said, "We didn't pay attention to this problem a few days ago, and took their lies seriously, thinking that Liangzhou There was really no food in the warehouse, and all the surplus food in the camp was used up. I didn’t expect these people to be so courageous that they even dared to withhold our military food. There is no law.”

"Did you go to Taiwei's Mansion?" Li Hong asked.

"Sent someone, and sent several letters." Xian Yufu replied, "Master Taiwei replied that there is indeed a problem with food, and asked us to find a way to solve it ourselves."

"Where's the food His Majesty promised us?" Li Hong asked with a frown. "According to the time, it should arrive."

"It must have been detained by the Taiwei's Mansion." Qu Yi said bitterly, "The world is in chaos now, and even His Majesty's imperial decree is dared to be disobeyed."

There was silence in the big tent.

"Guoan, is there any movement in the prison camp?" Li Hong asked Wei Zheng, "Do the prisoners know about this?"

"The captive camp is very peaceful." Wei Zheng replied, "Although we now eat two meals a day, we can manage our fill and nothing will happen for the time being. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou have approached us several times, but we have prevaricated them. So far they don't know about the lack of food in the army."

"My lord, since they dare to withhold grain in violation of the order, let's rob him of his grain depot. What do you think?" Qu Yi stood up suddenly, and leaned into Li Hong's ear and said.

"Inappropriate." Xian Yufu stopped immediately, "General Dong's army and Colonel Huangfu's army are both stationed outside Longxian County. We will definitely conflict with them if we blatantly go to grab food."

"If it's really impossible, we have to go and rob it." Tian Zhong said, "According to the current food storage in the camp, 10 people can only eat two meals a day, and they can only last for four or five days. What should we do if we don't go and rob it? Could it be that the captives are forced to rebel? ?”

After thinking for a long time, Li Hong said, "Yu Xing, take your majesty's edict and go to the Taiwei's mansion in person, report the situation to the Taiwei, and beg him to give some food for emergency. No matter how difficult it is, we will We need to get news from Jincheng. As long as the rebels agree to appease us, we don’t have any worries, and we can let go.”

"If the food arrives in Long County, will Geng Bi still refuse to give it?" Qu Yi asked, "My lord, if we don't grab it in a few days, we will starve."

Li Hong was at a loss.

In the evening, Li Hong left a few people for dinner.Koji complained that the food was poor.Tian Zhong made fun of him, saying that he was a son of a noble family and was used to enjoying himself. He should sit at a table alone and serve him a few dishes alone.Qu Yi told him that he was very embarrassed, but he saw that there were only two simple dishes on the table, and he really couldn't eat.

Li Hong smiled and said: "Yuntian, if the matter in Xiliang is over, we will go back to Jizhou. Before leaving, you have to go to Chang'an to treat us to dinner. You said it yourself."

Qu Yi said: "My lord, don't worry, I will of course fulfill my promise to you. When the time comes, I will definitely invite you to the best restaurant in Chang'an, have a good drink, eat a good meal, and play a painful game."

Zuo Yan asked: "Your family is rich, right?"

Qu Yi smiled modestly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, although our family has a lot of money, it's all left from our ancestors. My mother likes me very much and loves me very much, so I've been able to Spending money is a prodigal. But my two brothers will earn money, and they have settled a lot of property in Chang'an in the past few years. Now my mother lives with them in Chang'an."

Xian Yufu hurriedly asked: "Then the last time you went back to Chang'an, did you go home to visit your old mother?"

Qu Yi blushed, looked at Wei Zheng with embarrassment, and asked, "Is this not a violation of military discipline?"

Li Hong, Tian Zhong and Zuo Yan laughed.Xian Yufu consciously made a slip of the tongue, and looked at Qu Yi apologetically.Wei Zheng gave him a serious look, and said, "Even if you violate military discipline, you should go home and see your mother. Let's not make an example."

Li Hong said with a smile, "Okay, we have finally grasped Guoan's handle. It turns out that there are times when assassinating and raping adults bend the law for personal gain."

Qu Yi glared at Li Hong with dissatisfaction, and said, "I spent money to treat you to dinner in Chang'an, so you must give me something."

A few people were chatting and laughing here, and Zhang Xi hurried in.

"Jun Yi, let's eat together." Li Hong greeted.

"My lord, the emperor has sent an edict to the camp."

"Your Majesty has replied." Li Hong said happily, "Brother Yu Xing, you go to the big tent to pick it up. I still won't show up for the time being. Junyi, sit down and eat."

Xian Yufu left in a hurry.Qu Yi saw that Zhang He was devouring a bowl quickly, and asked strangely, "You don't want food?"

Zhang He looked at him in surprise, and asked back, "Do you want food for dinner?"

Tian Zhong couldn't help laughing out loud, he shook his head again and again, and sighed, "Young man from a rich family..."

Not long after, Xian Yufu came back.

"What did His Majesty say in the imperial edict?" Li Hong asked.

While handing the edict to Li Hong, Xian Yufu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has agreed to your request and is ready to act with us at the same time. He has ordered the northern army to rush back to Luoyang immediately."

Qu Yi asked suspiciously after hearing the words: "Could it be that your majesty has suddenly realized that he wants to cleanse the blemishes and filth, and have a bloody massacre of the city?"

Li Hong handed the imperial edict in his hand to Qu Yi, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to earn 100 billion in Luoyang, which is a huge sum." Then he looked at Xian Yufu, and continued, "Your Majesty's unrest in Xiliang Under such circumstances, the urgent transfer back to the Northern Army will definitely attract the attention of the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"So what?" Qu Yi said, "They wouldn't have thought His Majesty would draw their blood and skin them, would they?"

Everyone in the tent laughed easily.

"Your Majesty has so much money, will the tax be reduced a little, so that the people can breathe?" Tian Zhong asked with a smile.

Zuo Yan shook his head and sighed: "The common people are suffering even more."

Qu Yi asked puzzledly, "Lord Sima, what do you mean by that?"

Li Hong also asked: "Junyi, why do you say that?"

"We don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing if we do this." Zuo Yan said worriedly, "From the evidence provided by the old side, we sorted out and confirmed hundreds of corrupt officials, big and small. There are also powerful families who are inextricably linked. After the emperor investigates, these major forces will definitely be caught by His Majesty and reprimanded. In this way, their power will not only be weakened, but also a lot of money will be spent How can they let go when they are angry. You know that the officials in various local states and counties are the sons of the clans of various forces, and they are former officials of various forces. These people will in turn impose losses on the people On the head, they will take the opportunity to increase exorbitant taxes in various names, expropriate the people, and try to make up for their losses in the shortest possible time, so..."

The joy in everyone's hearts was suddenly dissipated by Zuo Yan's few words, and everyone felt heavy and depressed.

Tian Zhong patted the table vigorously, and said loudly: "If these traitors in the court are not wiped out, the people of the world will not have a good life."

"If I want one hundred thousand soldiers in my hands, I will go to Luoyang and kill these villains who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and kill all these shameless people." Qu Yi stood up suddenly and said angrily.

Xian Yufu hurriedly stopped and said, "Yun Tian can't talk nonsense."

=

Li Hong looked at Qu Yi who was gnashing his teeth with interest, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said happily: "I have a solution."

Everyone looked at him strangely.Tian Zhong asked: "The way to save the people in the world?"

"How can I have that ability?" Li Hong laughed, "I have a way to ask for food. Jun Yi, you go to the big tent and tell that knight who rides eight hundred miles to wait for a while. I have a secret note for you." Son of Heaven."

Zhang He ran out in a hurry.

Zuo Yan asked: "What good solution did your lord come up with?"

"Once the northern army leaves, there will be fewer troops stationed in Xiliang. Once Xiliang is pacified, we will leave here too. Then the remaining troops in Xiliang will only be General Dong's western frontier army, Yuntian's Jincheng frontier army, and Zilie. The soldiers from the prefectures, and Ma Teng’s thousands of Longxi frontier troops, combined, are less than 5 people, and their strength is quite weak.” Li Hong said worriedly, “If the Qiang Hu invades, these people will not be enough.”

Qu Yi suddenly understood, he punched Li Hong hard, and said happily: "Now there are [-] captives in Zixiu Mountain, and most of them belong to the Qiang people. Soldiers, the number of troops in Xiliang has suddenly doubled, and our strength has greatly increased..." He nodded repeatedly, salivating.

"[-] troops..." Zuo Yan said, "My lord, it is no different than when we were in Jizhou this spring. At that time, His Majesty wanted people to fight, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners were turned around. But now he doesn't need so many The army is here. The war in Xiliang is about to be settled, and His Majesty is already preparing to withdraw, so he will agree to expand the army and recruit troops?"

Li Hong said with a smile: "Let's make the situation more serious, not afraid that Your Majesty will not agree. We will turn these captives into soldiers, and the food will be solved. They have reasons to starve the captives to death, but they absolutely have no courage to starve the soldiers to death, unless they all I don’t want to live anymore. Besides, these soldiers are led by Yuntian, Zilie, and Ziwei, and they will be the main force to guard Xijiang in the future, so the stability of Xiliang is also guaranteed.”

"My lord, hurry up and write a memorial to His Majesty." Qu Yi urged excitedly.

"[-] troops?" Xian Yufu smiled, "Minister, is it possible that you ask His Majesty for so many establishments? Even if His Majesty agrees, will those ministers agree? The bureaucrats in the court are now afraid that your army will become more More and more, more and more powerful, think about it..."

"I don't want to." Li Hong said with a smile, "How can I do things when I think about many things? It's up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen. Junyi, hurry up and write..."

It was rare for Wei Zheng to open his mouth, but at this moment he suddenly said: "My lord, what should Beigong Boyu and a bunch of big and small Qushuai do?"

"We will now ask His Majesty for an amnesty decree to let them go home immediately." Li Hongman said nonchalantly.

The Taiwei Zhang Wen, the executive Jinwu Zhenju, and the school lieutenant Huangfuhong successively received the imperial edict to withdraw the troops.

Zhijinwu Zhenju and Huangfuhong didn't dare to delay, they sent people to the Zixiu Mountain camp to fetch money, silk, silk and jewels, and at the same time they pulled out the camp and quickly went east.

Zhang Wen was very strange about the emperor's decision, and he didn't understand what His Majesty meant.He convened the people in Taiwei's Mansion to discuss for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out.The matter of Xiliang has not yet been finalized, and there may be some accidents. At this time, His Majesty's hasty withdrawal of troops will definitely have an impact on appeasement of the rebels.Li Hong stayed in Jincheng because of injury, not because of negotiations.If something happened to Li Hong, he would send people west to Jincheng again to appease the rebels.Keeping the number of troops will keep the pressure on the rebels.

Zhang Wen hurriedly wrote to dissuade His Majesty.After hearing the news, the ministers of the court headed by Situ Cui Lie wrote a letter to the court to persuade them without hesitation.The emperor turned a deaf ear to it.

The Zhongchang servant Zhao Zhong and a bunch of traitorous eunuchs are very happy.Now the relationship between Zhang Wenwen and Li Hong is getting worse and worse. With the withdrawal of the northern army, Zhang Wen has no strength in Xiliang. This is a big blow to the family bureaucrats.Once Li Hong died in Jincheng, the traitors and Dong Zhuo's army could take advantage of it, and they could seize the opportunity to attack Zhang Wenwen and the bureaucrats of the aristocratic family.

Liu Yu was promoted to Guang Luxun, one of the nine ministers.This news made the traitors and family bureaucrats happy.Liu Yu is Li Hong's old master and a minister, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty. Many of Li Hong's secret memorials were handed over to His Majesty immediately through Liu Yu's hand.Therefore, the various forces in the court have long wanted to kick Liu Yu from the position of Shangshu and take Liu Yu away from the emperor. They have been trying to find a way.Unexpectedly, the emperor was so reasonable and promoted Liu Yu, fulfilling their wish.

One day, Jian Shuo, a little yellow man, was accompanying the emperor. The two chatted. The emperor was happy, and he bragged to Jian Shuo casually, saying that he was about to make a fortune.Jian Shuo was very surprised, so he flattered the emperor fiercely, trying to trick him.The Son of Heaven was so elated by him that he accidentally revealed that he had promised Li Hong that he would recruit troops to expand the army in Xiliang.

Jian Shuo was secretly startled, and immediately sent someone to tell Zhao Zhong the news.Although the two of them have always had conflicts, at this time, for the common interests of the eunuchs, the two sides still have to unite and communicate with each other.Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang immediately called a group of treacherous eunuchs to discuss privately, and felt that there was something famous here.Li Hong couldn't afford to be seriously injured in Jincheng, so how could there be a request to expand the army?Could it be that Li Hong has secretly returned to Zixiu Mountain camp?Zhao Zhong was very worried, and immediately notified Song Dian and Dong Zhuo.

=

At this time, Li Hong had received the imperial decree and amnesty order from the emperor, allowing him to recruit rebel prisoners and immediately expand the army to prepare for the stability of Xiliang in the future.

Taiwei Zhang Wen also received the imperial edict.Although Zhang Wen disagreed with the expansion of the army, food must still be provided until the emperor changed his mind, otherwise it would be a rebellion.

Li Hong and the generals were overjoyed.Xian Yufu and Qu Yi immediately summoned Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, the leaders of the rebel army, explained to them the emperor's will in detail, and issued an amnesty order, allowing them to leave with the commanders of the various Qiang tribes and some rebel officers.They were acquitted.What else can Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou say?The next day, they hurriedly left Zixiu Mountain with more than 1000 people and returned to Jincheng County.

After the initial fear and disturbance, the fifty thousand captives gradually calmed down.Wherever they are, they serve as soldiers or bandits. Compared with them, it is best to be a soldier in the Han army camp. They are carefree, have no worries about food and clothing, are paid by the army when they are alive, and receive a pension for their family members when they die. .

Li Hong immediately ordered Tian Zhong to pay the first month's full military salary, and the prisoners' mood stabilized accordingly.Three days later, Li Hong ordered Xian Yufu and Qu Yi to start reorganizing [-] captives, and transferred a large number of officers from the Xiliang army to enrich the reorganized army.Then, the army began training.

After Song Dian and Dong Zhuo received Zhao Zhong's news, they immediately searched the Zixiu Mountain camp. They used various methods, even Song Dian went to the camp to search in person in the name of inspection, but they didn't find any trace of Li Hong.After discussing with Dong Zhuo, Song Dian couldn't figure out the mystery here.But Li Ru keenly sensed the danger, and he urged Dong Zhuo again to let his younger brother Dong Min leave Guanzhong to Luoyang with a group of confidants.Dong Zhuo didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately sent someone to Huaili's hometown to urge his family to leave Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Half a month later, Zhen Ju and Huangfu Hong led the Northern Army to the Northern Army camp in Luoyang.

=

Xu Rongzai Yunwu finally reached an agreement with Han Sui on the issue of appeasement.Bian Zhang and Han Sui then wrote a letter of apology and presented it to the emperor.Nie Xiao took the apology form and crossed the Yellow River overnight, crossed the Kuiyuan Gorge, and rushed to Zixiu Mountain camp.Li Hong immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, and sent Bian Zhang and Han Sui's apology form to Luoyang with a fast ride of eight hundred miles.

Seeing the form of apology, the emperor summoned Taichang Liu Yan, Guang Luxun Liu Yu, and Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo overnight to discuss the matter of suppressing corruption and copying homes.Guang Luxun and Liu Yu took the soldier talisman to lead the army in the camp of the Northern Army.Taichang Liu Yan and Jian Shuo of Xiao Huangmen immediately rushed to Tingwei's mansion to preside over the suppression of corruption and ransacking of the house.Overnight, 130 and seven officials were arrested in Luoyang.The next day, the arrest operation expanded to the Henan, Hedong, and Hongnong prefectures in the Sili area of ​​the Kanto region.Within seven days, 450 six people were arrested.Kanto was shocked.

At the same time, Li Hong rode all 320 cavalry, and started a new round of arrests in Xiliang, mainly in Guanzhong.Within a few days, [-] seven people were arrested.

The Han Kingdom fell into terror.
