Chapter 1172: The Moon Is Supported by All Stars

In the evening, the sun sets and the sunset dyes the whole sky red. Standing by the reed lake, the evening view is even more beautiful and poetic.

The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.

However, no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery. Because the world began to be in chaos.

Under the instigation of some people, the Yellow Turban Army, which had been law-abiding, began to be in chaos.

Under the leadership of some ambitious people, the Yellow Turban Army began to attack the mansions of the nobles and began to show the greed hidden deep inside. Even in such rich states and counties as Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Sili, a mysterious place somewhere in the divine capital Luoyang.

Under the vast and huge building, a man wearing a seven-bead Yingtian crown was patrolling under the leadership of several eunuchs.

This man was the emperor Liu Hong. And next to him were Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

"How is the recent situation?" Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened recently. The accumulated transport materials in the Yellow Storehouse began to increase dramatically, and the Dragon Storehouse also began to increase to a certain extent, which is much greater than the increase at the beginning." Zhang Rang reported.

"Oh?! It seems that there has been a turning point!" Liu Hong said with a touch of joy on his face.

"According to everyone's speculation, it may be that the war situation has begun to drag the nobles and powerful families into the water!" Zhao Zhong stood up and bowed.

"Huh huh!! It has finally started... That's good!" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he said happily.

He just wanted the Yellow Turban Army to plunder the nobles and powerful families crazily, dig out the foundation of these blood-sucking insects, even if they were obtained by bandits, they would form a certain degree of circulation, so that the Han Dynasty would not be like a pool of stagnant water!

The noble families, because they kept deducting money but not spending it, the Han Dynasty, a behemoth, would be so weak.

Liu Hong made many plans just to make them bleed! And the blood would go into his pocket!

In this way, when he started to build up the military later, he would have a foundation!

"Let's go and have a look." Liu Hong waved his hand.

Several people hurried to a warehouse.

This warehouse, with countless inscriptions engraved on the bottom, completely covered the entire vast warehouse.

A stream of mysterious fluorescence lingered in it.

"Ding Ding!!" The next moment, after a flash of white light, countless gold, silver, ores... began to pile up in the warehouse like building blocks.

After seeing this inhumane scene, everyone's eyes seemed to be filled with symbols of money. Even the emperor Liu Hong, seeing the money piled up like garbage, his heart was turbulent.

Robbery is not as fast as this!

Liu Hong looked at the countless gold and silver in front of him, and a touch of madness appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there are still many foreigners and Yellow Turban soldiers who do not use beacon equipment, otherwise they may gain more." Zhang Rang suppressed his greed and reported in a low voice.

"Eight states, countless noble families, if there is really no mistake, this newly built palace may not be able to accommodate them." Liu Hong waved his hand without caring.

He knew that many foreigners chose to remain neutral, but that was not a problem.

Everyone looked at the growing wealth and stayed silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Hong recovered and turned around.

"Several legions of the North School have gone out to conquer. Although the capital Luoyang still has defense power, I feel that it still lacks power. I intend to develop the military after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. What do you think?" Liu Hong asked with a flushed face.

In fact, the reason why he felt that there was a lack of available military power was because General He Jin had recently taken control of the defense of Sili, and a large number of troops were under his control. If he, Liu Hong, wanted to command, he needed to hold a court meeting.

This was completely inconsistent with Liu Hong's ambition!

"Your Majesty, the plan of the eight lieutenants of the West Garden you mentioned before is actually quite good. We can secretly select elites to fill the West Garden, and then announce the establishment of the eight lieutenants of the West Garden to counter other ill-intentioned troops."

"Okay! You can arrange it secretly first, and when the time is right, start to form the eight lieutenants of the West Garden. I want these eight lieutenants of the West Garden to command five million soldiers and horses!"

"Now, you guys will temporarily serve as the eight lieutenants of the West Garden!" Liu Hong said in a serious tone.

"Yes!" Zhang Rang and others were overjoyed.

Letting them form an army will definitely require money, and they can control the money in the warehouse. Moreover, there is also military power.

This is simply the highest level of making money out of nothing!

"Wait until tomorrow's court meeting, I will deliberately be angry and arrange patrol officers to go to the battlefield. Then you can arrange some confidants to go and collect some information. In addition, let your clansmen start to incite both sides and let the two fight. In this way, we will reap the benefits of the fishermen!" Liu Hong instructed.

"Your Majesty is a master of military strategy. You can make plans and win battles thousands of miles away! We admire you!" Zhang Rang and others flattered him immediately.

"Hahaha!~~~~~" Liu Hong was very pleased with the flattery.

...

...

Yuzhou, Yingchuan Army, Changsha City.

"It is a blessing for the world that you have come to help. Let's drink this cup together!" Zhu Jun raised the wine glass on the table, smiled generously, and then drank with everyone.

On the wine table, delicacies were everywhere and the aroma of wine was everywhere.

And under Zhu Jun's main table, there were the governors and governors of Yuzhou and some Yanzhou counties, as well as some county magistrates.

Unlike Huangfu Song's "difficult road", Zhu Jun went south with the imperial seal, and the route he went was different from the former. He went to Yuzhou, so he was much smoother than Huangfu Song.

Because although there are many Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, there are more gentry, and these gentry are somewhat different from those in Jingzhou.

The gentry in Jingzhou is so difficult to deal with because they are very xenophobic. In real history, Liu Biao was able to enter Jingzhou alone because he valued the children of the gentry in Jingzhou and became a part of them.

Therefore, it was easy for him to move into Jingzhou and become a local lord.

Now Huangfu Song is different. He simply disdains those gentry. It is difficult for his family members to serve as officials and soldiers.

In a sense, although Huangfu Song secretly launched a bloody act of massacring the gentry in a city, he did it for justice and for the stability of the Han Dynasty. It is hard to say whether it is right or wrong.

It is also because the two do not get along that Huangfu Song dares to do this.

Although the gentry in Yuzhou and Yanzhou also stick together, they are not too xenophobic, and they are much more open-minded. Although they did not rise up to resist the Yellow Turban Army, they also secretly accumulated strength and waited for the opportunity.

Zhu Jun's southward march was the opportunity they had been waiting for for a long time.

Therefore, before Zhu Jun set out from the capital Luoyang, the nobles and aristocrats of Yuzhou began to gather and wait for him in Changsha City.

This is also the reason why Zhu Jun held such a grand banquet for guests today. Because more and more nobles came to join him. Of course, he welcomed this very much, and also let many family members join the army.

"Report!!"

"Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao led an army of 200,000 to help!" When everyone was talking happily, the voice of the messenger suddenly came.

Everyone smiled slightly when they heard it, and Zhu Jun said: "Look! Zhang Mengzhuo is here!"

Everyone was not surprised by this. Because recently, there have been reinforcements gathering in Changsha City.

And on the plains outside Changsha City, there are endless camps, interlaced.

Black armor shines on the sun, yellow flags and crimson sky, long spears are like forests.

(I can't write all day these past two days, I'll just do this and that occasionally. Please forgive me.)
