Liu Bian would occasionally go to the Prodigy Academy to attend classes, so it was considered to be done with government affairs, so he could give himself some time to relax.

however,

Compared with the peace of the world in the Han Dynasty, the barbarians in the Han Dynasty were not so lucky.

In the south of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou, where barbarians and bandits who disobeyed the king's law gathered, heavy snow covered the sky and the earth, forming snow disasters of varying degrees.

This has really made things worse for them who were already living in difficulties.

Danyang Zong Shuai Zu Lang and Thief Shuai Fei Zhan, Kou Lue Danyang.Local officials sent troops several times, but were defeated by them.Many people were killed by thieves, and villages were looted.

Yan Hu, the handsome commander of Wu Jun, joined forces with the sect thief Peng Shi to raise troops to rebel.

Yan Hu, known as the White Tiger, proclaimed himself King De of the Eastern Wu, and Peng Shi the King of Kuaiji.

Gather more than [-] people and break through Wu County.

Jin Qi, Huang Luan, Mao Gan and other thieves also responded one after another.

These Shanyue bandits colluded with each other and worked together.In addition, Liu Yao was killed in Yangzhou, and the new decree has just come down, so the situation is not stable.

However, the newly appointed officials have not established prestige, so the order cannot be issued.

Coupled with the land reform, the imperial court's forced land resumption aroused the rebellion of some landlords, and local officials secretly colluded with the bandits in Shanyue, burned and killed the people, and obstructed the imperial court's decree.

In just one month, more than a dozen bandit forces appeared in Yangzhou.

The sect thieves in southern Jingzhou and Jiaozhou also took the opportunity to respond.

The newly appointed governors of Jingzhou and Yangzhou have strong governance ability and average military ability.

All the pressure fell on Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha.

Sun Jian led his troops and fought a battle with bandits in Yuzhang. At the beginning, he won four battles in a row, but because the number of enemies was too large.

Zu Lang took the opportunity to attack Chaisang, and Sun Jian rushed back to rescue him.

Unexpectedly,

This was Zu Lang's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Sun Jian was ambushed on his way back to aid and returned in a complete defeat.

General Zu Mao, who had followed him in the north and south for many years, pretended to be the main force to attract the bandit army in order to cover him to break out of the encirclement. He was surrounded heavily and died among the rebellious army.

A few days later, Chaisang fell, and Sun Jian had to return to Changsha.

After being defeated by a group of thieves, he held back his anger.

When he learned of Zu Mao's death, he was even more furious. He wished he could lead his troops to Xiangyang immediately, and asked the governor of Jingzhou why he didn't send troops to rescue him!

General Cheng Pu persuaded, "My lord, you can't blame Inspector Ding for this matter."

"Your Majesty has changed the system, and the governor has no right to command the soldiers. Even if Ding Gong wants to save him, it will be difficult to gather troops for a while."

To put it bluntly, it was Sun Jian's fault that he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward.

But as a subordinate, Cheng Pu couldn't say.

Huang Gaidao,

"The reason why Shanyue is rampant is because of the secret support of local officials. If they hadn't revealed our whereabouts, how could Zu Lang ambush us?"

"There are tens of thousands of thieves and bandits today, and no family can fight against them. My lord, please ask the imperial court to send troops to rescue them, so that the thieves can be wiped out."

They are indeed very strong, but there are too many thieves, and those corrupt officials secretly support them.

Sun Jian was like a bull stuck in the mud, struggling to move.

He followed Huang Gai's suggestion and asked Han Dang to go to Luoyang for help with a letter in person.

As soon as this letter arrived, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked!

Because the capital is prosperous, the society is becoming more and more stable, and the lives of ordinary people are getting better and better.

Around Luoyang, a beautiful situation has formed for Dahan.

So much so that many officials couldn't believe that there would be people rebelling at this time.

and,

The thief army almost occupied Yangzhou, with more than [-] people!

"General Han, you said that you were ambushed by Zu Lang and Chaisang fell, how many people did you lose?"

In the hall, Liu Bian looked at Han Dang.

The latter looked a little flustered.

This is the first time he met the emperor of Han Dynasty, the emperor who was only 15 years old!

Han Dang suddenly realized how wise it was for the lord to send his three sons and one daughter to the court!

The emperor's eyes were full of majesty.

From the respectful attitude of the court ministers towards him, we can know that even ten lords can't afford to offend this emperor!

"Back... back to His Majesty."

Facing the emperor's gaze, Han Dang began to sweat coldly on his back.

He felt an invisible pressure enveloped himself.

Obviously came to ask for help.

But at this moment, he seemed to be a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Chapter 274 Your Majesty, Do You Want to Conquer in Your Own?

"Return to Your Majesty, we were ambushed by Zu Lang and lost more than [-] people."

"The thieves broke into Chaisang and looted all the money and food in the city."

Han Dang was a little ashamed.

Although there are many objective factors, if you lose, you lose, and no matter how many reasons you find, you can't save face.

He came here not to shirk responsibility.

So, be prepared to be punished.

"More than six thousand people!"

Liu Bian sighed softly, "This is the biggest defeat since I became the throne."

Hearing this, Han Dang was even more ashamed.

The generals are filled with righteous indignation,

"Your Majesty's vassal is General Pingnan, and I am willing to lead the army to wipe out all the thieves!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun stood up.

He was named General Pingnan, so this is his responsibility.

"It's just a few thieves, why do you need General Pingnan to go in person! I have served Your Majesty, but I have not made an inch of merit. I would like to use the leader of the thieves to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, Tai Shici followed suit.

"I invite you to fight!"

Zang Ba, Xia Houyuan, Gan Ning, Xu Huang and others called for the battle one after another.

None of the generals in the court did not fight to repay the court.

Han Dang was a little surprised to see so many people vying for the battle.

Are all the generals of the imperial court so tough?

however,

Han Dang also had some disdain in his heart.

These people don't pay much attention to the Shanyue thieves, even if they go, they will suffer.

Sun Jian just suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy.

"Generals, Shanyue is mostly local sect thieves, and has many ties to officials from all over the country. You must not underestimate the enemy."

Han Dang felt that he had to remind them.

however,

No one cares what he says,

"General Han, it's just some thieves, nothing to worry about."

Yan Liang didn't take Shan Yue seriously.

"Even though the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from all over the country voluntarily surrendered, some sect thieves dared to oppose the imperial court. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Wen Chou curled his lips lightly.

However, the more they said that, the more embarrassing Han Dang was.

You said Shanyue is so weak, so if we lost to Shanyue, wouldn't we be weaker?

Han Dang was very speechless, kindly treated him like a donkey.

"Your Majesty, officials in Yangzhou are corrupt, and officials and thieves are colluding to confuse the people."

"As a result, the people of Yangzhou are completely unaware of the government's decrees."

"The thieves occupy Chaisang, Jianye, Wu Jun and other important cities, and heavily guard the ports. If you are not fully prepared, if you send troops rashly, you will definitely suffer a loss."

Han Dang didn't want to lose any more battles. Seeing that the generals didn't listen to advice, he had no choice but to talk to Liu Bian directly.

"General Han is right."

Liu Bian first affirmed Han Dang's worry, and gave the generals a hard look.

"I always warn you that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength! The bandits from Shanyue can sweep the entire Yangzhou in just one month, how can they be mediocre?"

After Liu Bian spoke, everyone who said it was ashamed and bowed their heads.

but,

Guo Jia and the others understood what Liu Bian meant.
