Chapter 226 Carry General Wei?
The days in Luoyang were relatively peaceful, and Liu Zhang stayed comfortably with his concubine, enjoying the gentleness of the country.
For three months in a row, Liu Zhang had nothing to do, as if he had experienced the feeling of summer vacation in his previous life again.
Even the generals under his command could only continue to train soldiers. Because they didn't get Liu Hong's order, the soldiers haven't replenished until now!
For troubled times, peace is rare and precious, and it will pass in the blink of an eye!
The news of Liangzhou's defeat finally came back to Luoyang, and Liu Hong had no choice but to call important ministers to discuss the matter.
"According to the latest news from Liangzhou, Bian Zhang and other traitors defeated the cavalry general Zhang Wen several times, You Fufeng Bao Hong died in battle, and the 70,000 army suffered heavy casualties. Only the 10,000 army led by Dong Zhuo retreated safely and is now stationed in Fufeng County. "
Zhang Rang briefly explained the situation in Liangzhou to the officials, and then stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach General Zhang Wen."
As soon as Zhang Rang finished reading the battle report, Da Siong Wang Wen stood up and couldn't wait to impeach Zhang Wen.
"General Cheqi led an army of 100,000 to fight against the rebels, and the stalemate lasted for several months. At that time, Luoyang's treasury was already empty, and the food and grass to support the Western Expedition Army were transferred from Jizhou and other places! Fortunately, there was a general who turned the tide. , Our army smashed the rebels in Meiyang City, Bian Zhang and others fled back to Liangzhou in embarrassment."
"At this time, Weichen has already indicated to General Cheqi that the current situation cannot support the expedition of the army. If the grain and grass from Jizhou, Xuzhou and other places are transported to Liangzhou, it will need to travel thousands of miles! How ridiculous is this? But General Cheqi Not listening to dissuasion, forcibly hollowed out the treasuries of Sizhou, Jingzhao, Fufeng and other counties, causing the people to complain a lot!"
"Originally, because of the sake of General Cheqi's mission of eradicating thieves for the country, I resisted not to play, but I didn't expect that he failed His Majesty's trust, defeated Xiliang, and humiliated the big man! I beg Your Majesty Remove all official positions and titles of Zhang Wen, and severely punish him!"
Liu Zhang, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that Jia Xu and others had told him about these intrigues in advance, otherwise he would have jumped out to agree.
Wang Wen, when Zhang Wen was the chief minister, Wang Wen was his deputy. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two is very close!
It seems that Wang Wen's backstage will definitely not be simple!
Liu Hong's face was full of anger, but Liu Zhang could see a sense of helplessness from the anger.
"Zhang Wen's loss of soldiers and generals made me lose face! However, he has made great contributions to traveling thousands of miles to Liangzhou."
It can be seen that Liu Hong is still making the last effort, and he doesn't want to give up Zhang Wen easily.
"Your Majesty! I think it's not right."
Liu Zhang did not expect that He Jin would walk out so quickly.
"What's your opinion, General?"
He Jin is also very abnormal today. If he saw Liu Hong so angry before, he would never take the initiative to stand up and make trouble.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Wen's greed for meritorious deeds is really his own fault. Your Majesty must not be merciful and forgive him easily!"
"this…"
"Your Majesty, if Zhang Wen is not severely punished, how will he explain to the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in Xiliang!"
Before Liu Hong could express his opinion, He Jin couldn't wait to put Liu Hong in front of Dayi!
Liu Hong was annoyed, but now what He Jin said was reasonable, and there was really no room for him to refute.
During the stalemate, Taiwei Yuan Kai also came out.
"Your Majesty, I think the Empress General has the most right to speak. The old minister heard that Zhang Wen was jealous of the virtuous and capable. He lost his army and lost the general, but he was jealous of the Empress General's talent! Zhang Wen ignored the important affairs of the country, but because of his personal hatred, he wantonly sabotaged the Empress General's plan to defeat the enemy! The Empress General has a heart Broad, don't let Zhang Wen care about it. But the old minister can't stand it."
Yuan Kui's righteous words did not get Liu Zhang's thanks, but Liu Zhang was very resentful, and kept cursing in his heart.
Immortal, you still want to use me as a weapon!
This Yuan Kai has too much heart and soul, and he speaks sanctimoniously for Liu Zhang, but in fact he is letting Liu Zhang rush ahead!
"His Majesty!"
How could Liu Zhang let Yuan Kai succeed? He also walked out of the team and knelt down directly.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty!"
Liu Zhang's confession not only stunned He Jin and Yuan Kai, but even Liu Hong didn't understand why.
"What is Liu Aiqing guilty of?"
"Your Majesty, because of personal grievances in Meiyang City, I maliciously beat General Chaqi, and I am here to plead guilty."
Yuan Kai and He Jin didn't expect that Liu Zhang would find himself unhappy!
Yuan Kai squinted his eyes, thinking about Liu Zhang's intentions.
They already knew about Liu Zhang's beating of Zhang Wen, but no one pursued it.
If it is said that Liu Zhang repents and admits his mistakes on his own initiative, he won't believe Yuan Kai's death!
You, Liu Zhang, have been back for three months, why did you go early!
"Rear General, I don't think you need to be like this! That Zhang Wen doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and is trying to ruin state affairs for his own selfishness! Even if you beat him to death, this general will support you!"
Uncharacteristically, He Jin openly supported Liu Zhang.
"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!"
When Liu Hong heard He Jin's words, he was immediately furious. He was worried that he would not find a chance to vent to He Jin, so He Jin took the initiative to send it to his door.
"Your Majesty, the later general first saved Zhang Wen from danger, and then he personally took risks in order to defeat the rebels! Not only did Zhang Wen not appreciate it, but instead detained Zhou Shen, wanting to kill the latter general! How is this behavior different from surrendering to the enemy? I I suggest that His Majesty strictly investigate Zhang Wen, I suspect that he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy!"
The more He Jin said, the more he went too far, and he had already labeled Zhang Wen as a spy.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that what the general said is not unreasonable! Zhang Wen's first battle, he did not distinguish between loyal and traitorous, and easily believed in the partial general Di Yang, causing the army to be almost surrounded by the rebels! If it hadn't been for the general's divine soldiers to descend from the sky, now I'm afraid it's hard to say how Sansuke's land is!"
"Afterwards, General Hou used the enemy's spy, Di Yang, to successfully design Li Wenhou and others. Under Zhang Wen's frame, they still wiped out 80,000 enemies! I think all ministers have a fair opinion on who is right and wrong! The old minister feels that if General Hou leads the army In the expedition to Liangzhou, the tens of thousands of Han soldiers will not hate the Northwest!"
Yuan Kai didn't wait for Liu Hong to get angry with He Jin again, so he stood up to speak for He Jin, and by the way, praised Liu Zhang.
"Then how do the Taifu think I should reward the Empress General?"
Facing Liu Hong's cold tone, Yuan Kai had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the latter general should be promoted to the general of the guard, and another day will be used to conquer the rebels!"
Liu Zhang on the side had already greeted the eighteen generations of the Yuan family's ancestors in his heart, and looked at Yuan Kai with killing intent in his eyes.
Hello, old dog Yuan! I really hate that Liu Zhang is not dead!
Carry General Wei! You are so generous!
You also asked me to go on an expedition to Liangzhou. When I put down the Liangzhou rebellion, will you be crowned king for me!
"General, what do you think?"
Without the slightest hesitation, He Jin directly agreed!
"Your Majesty, I had this intention a long time ago, but the Taifu said it first! As early as when the general broke the seal, I wanted to ask your majesty to ask for credit for the general!"
