Deyang Hall, the central hub of the Great Han Dynasty.
All the officials lined up. The Spirit Monarch sat on the dragon throne with a listless look.
Below him, on the left, was a fat man with a fierce face. He was He Jin.
Speaking of him, all the officials sighed endlessly. A butcher who slaughtered pigs was deeply favored by the Spirit Monarch because of his sister's beauty and was conferred the title of Empress. Brother He Jin relied on his sister's status to become a butcher. Under the crazy pillow talk of his sister, he became the Great General of the current dynasty. It was simply a joke.
Previously, when the Yellow Turban army surrounded Changshe, he was sent to guard Hulao Pass. Now that the Yellow Turban army of Changshe had been wiped out, he naturally returned to the court.
At this moment, He Jin looked at Yuan Kui with a pair of bull-like eyes. The two of them exchanged a subtle look and then nodded. He Jin directly walked out and said,"Your Majesty, the Battle of Guangzong is of great importance. The former general Li Qing has few soldiers. In my opinion, we should choose another good general and lead the elites to take charge of the overall situation.”
When Yuan Kui heard this, he immediately stood up and said,"Your Majesty, what the Great General said is true. The Battle of Guangzong is of great importance and must not be lost. Otherwise, the Yellow Turban bandits will sweep through Jizhou and Ye City will be in danger. Once the Yellow Turban army grows stronger and has money and food, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
When the Spirit Monarch heard this, he was shocked and his listless look disappeared. He had just experienced a little of the demeanor of the Great Emperor of Han Wu after receiving so many good news recently. Naturally, he was very nervous about this relationship. He hurriedly said,"Is what the two beloved ministers said true? What should we do?"
When He Jin heard this, the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a smile. He said,"Your Majesty, although Li Qing has made great contributions, his subordinates have fought many battles and are definitely incomplete. I suggest that we send another general to Jizhou to take charge of the situation.”
"Great General is right." Yuan Kui hurriedly said.
A Great General of the Imperial Court and one of the three dukes in charge of military affairs spoke at the same time. Even the Spirit Monarch had to think twice.
The officials were all very astute. Seeing the expressions of these two big shots, it was obvious that they had reached an agreement. They immediately lowered their heads and pretended that nothing had happened as they watched quietly.
When the Spirit Monarch heard this, he also felt that what the two of them said made sense, so he asked,""In that case, who should we send?”
When Yuan Kui heard this, he immediately retreated into the ranks without batting an eyelid, leaving He Jin alone in his original spot.
"Your Majesty, I have a lieutenant in the Royal Guards called Yuan Shao. He is a descendant of a famous family and is familiar with the art of war. If we order him to lead a battalion of the Royal Guards and a group of elites to take charge of the overall situation, it will definitely be safe.”He Jin said.
Yuan Shao?
The officials immediately understood. It was obvious that this was a deal between Great General He Jin and Yuan Kui. One of the reasons was that the two of them needed to work together to recommend Yuan Shao.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Now that the world was about to be settled, the relationship between the aristocratic families and the Ten Attendants of the Eternal was becoming increasingly tense, and the cooperation was about to break down. In addition, as a consort, He Jin naturally wanted to get rid of the Ten Attendants of the Eternal, so he found Yuan Kui.
As a sign of their sincerity, they decided to push the boat along with the current, planning to jointly push out Yuan Shao first and obtain enough credit. The two of them hit it off immediately.
As for Yuan Kui, he originally wanted to rope Li Qing in. However, how could an outsider compare to his nephew? It was naturally easier to make a choice.
Now that the Yellow Turban forces were weak and victory was within reach, it was a good time to pick the peach.
As long as Yuan Shao could lead his troops to Jizhou and defeat the Yellow Turbans, the Yuan family's four generations of three dukes might be able to continue and become five generations of three dukes. How glorious would that be?
His little calculations could not be said to be bad.
Of course, if they knew that Guangzong County had already been conquered by Li Qing, who knew what they would do.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate. Changing the commander at the last minute is a taboo in the military.”Their little plans were theirs, and there were still officials who were blindly loyal to the Han Dynasty and only wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, such as Ma Riyan.
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Monarch furrowed his brows slightly. Recently, he had received many reports of Li Qing's victory. He had high hopes for such a good general who could lead troops into battle. Otherwise, he would not have been so magnanimous as to confer Li Qing the title of former general.
Seeing that the Spirit Monarch was hesitating, He Jin immediately said angrily,""Ma Ri Jia, what are your intentions?"
"Guangzong County is the origin of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is of great importance. If Li Chengde is not careful and loses, causing Jizhou to be swept by the Yellow Turban Army, who can bear the consequences when the Yellow Turban Army of several states and counties around Jizhou joins forces?”
It had to be said that although He Jin's background was not good and he did not have any great talent, he was still quite smart.
Seeing this, all the officials shook their heads slightly. This Ma Ri Jia was really stubborn. He was a Great General and a Grand Commandant, and he dared to go up against him? Can you defeat him?
Even if he won, wouldn't he have offended everyone? Would he still have a place to stand in the future?
At the same time, Zhang Rang, who was standing next to the Spirit Monarch, rolled his eyes.
He had already received some news that Yuan Kui and He Jin seemed to be preparing to cooperate to deal with the Ten Attendants. This would not do. He had to think of a way. Otherwise, although the Ten Attendants were powerful, it would be difficult for them to face the two camps.
