Just as Yang Yu had expected, the officials of the imperial court came forward together.
Although they didn't overthrow the eunuch, they had at least exposed Dong Zhuo's matter.
The officials were having their meals when Dong Zhuo was brought up.
So everyone put down their bowls and talked one after another. They all said that Dong Zhuo had been defeated in Jizhou and lost more than half of his troops. Even the Yellow Turban Army had almost run away.
Dong Zhuo was now regarded as the eunuch's lackey by the courtiers. They couldn't defeat the eunuch, but they were happy to see the lackey who could defeat the eunuch.
However, the Spirit Monarch heard something different."Gentlemen! Since Dong Zhuo's army was defeated like this, how did the Yellow Turban Army get driven back?”
The ministers were stunned. No one dared to say that Yang Yu was the one who played the game.
Liu Hong snorted and looked at Wang Yun.""Wang Yun, you are in charge of the documents of the various places. Are there any memorials that have not been submitted?”
"Your Majesty," Wang Yun said solemnly,"I have handed over all the reports to the eunuchs. As for whether they have handed them over to Your Majesty, I do not know." However, two days ago, I received a document from Jizhou. I knelt for a long time and did not have the time to submit it.”
Wang Yun took out a report from Huangfu Song and handed it to Liu Hong.
"Yang Yu just arrived in Jizhou and killed the thief leader Zhang Bao! After killing sixty to seventy thousand rebel soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army was trapped in Guangzong!”
Liu Hong was pleasantly surprised.
"Haha! That was great! With Yang Yu here, Zhang Jiao will die. I don't have to worry! Such a joyous occasion should be celebrated by the whole world!”
Thus, Dong Zhuo was unexpectedly pardoned.
It just so happened that the Qiang people of Liangzhou rebelled and kidnapped Han Sui and Ma Teng of Fufeng in Jincheng to invade Sanfu. With the help of the Ten Generals, Dong Zhuo went to Liangzhou to lead troops to suppress the bandits.
The Eldest Princess heard that Yang Yu had made another great contribution. She also knew that Liu Hong wanted to promote Yang Yu but was stopped by the officials, so she found Liu Hong."Imperial Father, Han Xin was also destitute back then, even worse than Yang Yu. However, he was put in an important position by Gaozu and eventually helped Gaozu obtain the world. Now that the world was in chaos, if Imperial Father could promote a fierce general like Yang Yu to an important position, he would definitely be able to stabilize the country.”
Liu Hong nodded." Father understands what you're saying. It's just that the ministers are all against it. I can't afford to offend the public."”
However, the Eldest Princess shook her head." Yang Yu has never lost a single battle. He has protected the two most important places, Yingchuan and Nanyang. Now, he has killed Zhang Bao and stabilized the situation in Jizhou. He is no worse than Han Xin! What was even rarer was that he was able to see the big picture and risked his life to move troops into Jizhou to suppress the bandits with Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi. If Father thinks that the courtiers are unwilling to promote him, I'm afraid that the local people will be disappointed in you.”
Liu Hong thought about it carefully and felt that Liu Ying's words were quite right. Therefore, not long after he returned, he made his own decision and directly issued an edict to grant Yang Yu the title of Nanzhong General, taking full control of the entire Jizhou battlefield.
When the news spread, the ministers in the court discussed it!
He Jin: " His Majesty actually put a small guard in an important position. What will the meritorious officials in the court think?”
Yuan Shao: " A mere guard actually has a higher official rank than me. How preposterous!”
"Your Majesty is actually willing to offend the ministers for Yang Yu!" It seemed that His Majesty was not that stupid sometimes!”
When the Eldest Princess heard the news, she immediately rejoiced."This time, it was bengong who persuaded Imperial Father to let that fellow be promoted. When he comes back, won't he thank bengong heavily?”
Soon, Liu Hong's decree reached Jizhou and Yang Yu's army.
Huangfu Song immediately came over to congratulate him.
"I had a premonition that you would be promoted by His Majesty! From now on, I will be relying on you!”
Zhu Rong also came over quickly, his face full of admiration."I thought that the emperor would not dare to promote you so quickly. I didn't expect that His Majesty would be willing to go against the ministers for you!”
Of course, Yang Yu was also happy. Since he had taken over Jizhou, he would be given a share of all the merits here in the future.
At this moment, Yang Yu heard the system prompt again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a random check-in. Please enter Guangzong City and complete the check-in within a month!”
He actually signed in at Guangzong City. This also meant that if he wanted to obtain the system reward, he had to attack Guangzong within a month.
"As long as the Yellow Turban Army is not destroyed, the people of Jizhou will live in fear," Yang Yu said solemnly. As the general of Nanzhong, I will break Guangzong as soon as possible!”
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly." The walls of Guangzong City are thick. If we attack forcefully, there will be countless casualties. I'm afraid that we won't be able to get any credit. Instead, we will be killed by the slanderous words of the Ten Attendants.”
Zhu Rong also advised," Brother, we can't rush this matter. The imperial court only has tens of thousands of people at our disposal. If we fail to attack the city, the Yellow Turban Army will be unscrupulous."”
"Don't worry, I won't attack Guangzong." Yang Yu said. Let me gather all the generals for a discussion.”
Not long after, Yang Yu entered the tent and his subordinates came over.
Yang Yu told everyone about his plan to destroy Guangzong and Zhang Jiao.
"I have already decided to do this. Now, everyone should consider what to do. I want to take down Guangzong within a month. Anyone who has any ideas, just say it.”
As soon as Yang Yu finished speaking,
Xue Rengui stood up." My lord, Guangzong should not attack by force. Why don't we trick the Yellow Turban Army out of the city and ambush them? We can defeat them!"”
Wang Meng nodded when he heard this and looked up at Xue Rengui.
Yang Yu looked at Xue Rengui's attribute panel.
General: Xue Rengui
[Attributes: Strength 103, Commander 98, Political 86, Intelligence 92]
[Weapon: Heavenly Halberd]
[Mount: White Dragon Colt]
The attributes of this explosion made Yang Yu extremely optimistic about Xue Rengui.
"Then tell me, how can we trick the Yellow Turban Army out of the city?" Yang Yu asked with a smile.”
Xue Rengui had obviously thought of this question long ago."Previously, when Dong Zhuo was transferred, the people were not on good terms, so the Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to send troops. Now, we are deliberately putting on a relaxed posture to lure the Yellow Turban Army to attack again!”
"What do you think of my words?" Yang Yu looked at everyone.”
Dian Wei was full of admiration and immediately praised,"My lord, Rengui's plan works!”
" Hmph!" Luo Cheng snorted." I didn't expect this guy to have such knowledge. This plan isn't bad!"”
Huang Zhong nodded in agreement.
However, Wang Meng raised another point at this time."Rengui, although this plan is brilliant, the Yellow Turban Army has just been defeated. It won't be easy to lure them out in a short time. The lord wants to break through the city within a month. Time must be seized.”
Xue Rengui ultimately could not compare to a monster like Wang Meng in terms of resourcefulness, so he fell into deep thought.
Yang Yu waved his hand." Wang Meng, don't hide anymore. If you have anything to add, just add it directly."”
