The news of the foreign tribes attacking the city spread everywhere.
A large number of people were panicking. Even many people in Bing Province began to flee their hometown where they had lived for decades.
Luoyang, Nangong Wende Hall.
Liu Hong's entire person became extremely sinister. Everything was out of his control. The Road of Peace went out of control, the Five Buckets of Rice Road rebelled, and mountain bandits from all over the country began to plunder the state capital.
Now, even the foreign tribes dared to gather hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Great Han. Did they forget that the Marquis Champion had almost wiped out the Xiongnu a hundred years ago?
"Your Majesty, the plan now is to quell the rebellions in various places.”He Jin said in a deep voice.
"Great General is right. Once the rebellions are quelled, we can send the royal army to Bing Province to support Marquis Qian Cheng!”Wang Yun said respectfully.
"I think that the rebellion in various places is the most important!" Zhang Wen said.
Lu Zhi, who had just been released from prison, frowned and said,"No, the Northern Battlefront Army only has 120,000 soldiers. We can't delay them for long!”
"Doesn't Marquis Qian Cheng have the ability to split the heavens and earth? It's only a matter of turning over a palm to defeat a mere 250,000 foreign races. Now that there are frequent rebellions everywhere, we should prioritize the stability of our internal territory!”Yuan Kui said coldly.
"Haha!"
Cai Yong suddenly burst into laughter. He finally understood what Liu Qing meant before he left.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the utilitarians of the Luoyang court officials were simply outrageous.
In front of the outsiders, the civil and military officials were still plotting this and that. It was really laughable.
Liu Qing was right. The struggle for official positions might not be suitable for him. He might as well go to Bingzhou and be a teacher.
Liu Hong looked at Cai Yong coldly and asked,""Cai Bo, what are you laughing at!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Back then, when I returned to the court to report on my work, I was surrounded by 300 bandits!”
"Ziyu said to the 300 bandits,'If you kill me, there will be no possibility of recovering Bingzhou. Hundreds of thousands of people will be wiped out in fire and water.”
Cai Yong calmly recounted the past, then stood up and took off the crown of the virtuous, pointing at the civil and military officials in the court and shouting,"Look at all the officials in the court. They're talking about the concept of governing the country in a high-sounding manner.”
"Now that Bing Province's foreign army is pressing down, you are still plotting for your own benefits!”
"All of you are well-read. Don't you know that the Marquis of Jin borrowed the Dao from Yu to attack Guo?”
"Bing Province is the Great Han Dynasty's gate, and you want Marquis Qian Cheng dead. Do you know that once Marquis Qian Cheng is defeated, you will all be livestock under the arrows of the foreign cavalry?”
Cai Yong cursed and placed the crown heavily in the hall. He bowed respectfully to Liu Hong and said resolutely,"Your Majesty, I am old and want to go to Bing Province to teach people knowledge. If Bing Province falls, then I will not be able to see the war of the Nine Prefectures being invaded by foreign races before I die in Great Han!”
The hall was silent.
Yuan Kui, He Jin, Wang Yun, and the others were even a little drowsy.
Cai Yong's heartfelt words were nothing more than a soft knife that couldn't kill these nobles.
Right now, the most important thing was to suppress Liu Qing's rising momentum and then seize power and profit from the official positions of the prefectures and counties.
Liu Hong looked at the officials calmly. No one was moved by Cai Yong's words, not even Lu Zhi and Cao Cao.
At this moment, sadness, helplessness, anger, and a few other complicated emotions surged into his heart.
"Correct!"
Liu Hong's lips were dry and cracked. He said in a hoarse voice,""Bring the wife of Marquis Qiancheng, Princess Wannian, Cai Yan to Bing Province!”
"I, Cai Yong, will take my leave, Your Majesty!”
Cai Yong turned around and walked towards the palace door. The moment he left Wende Palace, he stopped and turned to look at all the civil and military officials. Then, he left the court hall without any reluctance.
The court was in a state of turmoil.
A turmoil more terrible than the Yellow Turban Uprising happened in Yunzhong County.
The 250,000-strong foreign army began to attack the city. The entire land was filled with roars and shouts. Arrows rained down like a storm, wanting to cleanse the entire City Amongst the Clouds.
In a mansion.
Guo Jia stared at the rain of arrows and sneered,""You want to break through the gates of our Bing Province without a siege weapon?”
"Fengxiao, don't underestimate the outsiders!”
"Since they dare to gather 250,000 troops, it means that they are very confident in breaking through the gate of Bing Province and destroying Yunzhong County!”Xi Zhicai's expression was solemn.
Lu Bu took a deep breath and said," My lord has already entered the Yunzhong County. He will reach the City Amongst the Clouds in a few days. We can only send troops then. The best way now is to defend the city!"”
"General Gongsun, your 3,000 White Horse Righteous Followers have been dealing with the Hu all year round. What do you think of the Xianbei tribe?”Guo Jia asked Gongsun Zan.
"Good at riding and archery!"
"If they can't win, they'll run. After we retreat, they'll come and plunder the food of the people!”Gongsun Zan's gaze was extremely complicated.
"I heard that General Gongsun is on good terms with Qiu Liju. He doesn't invade the border of Youzhou!" Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes and asked.”
"Haha!"
" Ding Yuan of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou, and I are the same," Gongsun Zan said with a faint smile." We are all on good terms with a portion of the Hu. Some of them do it for profit, while others do it to better understand the direction of the foreign tribes.”
