Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to lead my troops into battle!"
After hearing Liu Hong's question, a brawny man stepped forward from the main hall.
He was standing at the head of the generals, and his identity was self-evident. He was the Spirit Monarch's brother-in-law, He Jin.
"Your Majesty, why worry about a mere Yellow Turban ant thief? I only need 100,000 troops to pacify the four directions and sweep the world for Your Majesty.”
He Jin's powerful words echoed in the hall, causing Sikong Yuan Kui, Situ Yang Biao, and the others to look askance.
Not only did he dare to be the first to stand up, but he also said such words. There must be an expert guiding him behind this butcher.
"Hehe!"
Noticing their gazes, He Jin could not help but reveal a smug smile.
It was all thanks to Sir Pei Ju's guidance that he was able to take the lead in front of the Spirit Monarch.
If the plan went smoothly, he would be able to truly take control of the army and would no longer need to act according to the expressions of these aristocratic families.
Just as He Jin was fantasizing, Emperor Han Ling glanced at him and said faintly,"
"That's right. If He Qing has such ambition, why should I be afraid of a mere rebel army?”
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic." If all of you are so loyal, I will definitely be able to rest easy and the Great Han will definitely prosper for thousands of years.”
Hiss!
Below, the officials held their breaths and shouted in unison,"
"We are willing to sacrifice our lives for Your Majesty and the Great Han Dynasty. The heavens can testify, and the sun and moon can testify!”
"Haha!"
Looking down, Emperor Han Ling smiled. It was unknown if he was mocking or really happy.
"Other than He Qing, who else is willing to share my worries?”
"I, Huangfu Song, am willing to quell the rebellion for Your Majesty.”
"I, Lu Zhi, am willing to fight for Your Majesty."
"I, Zhu Jun, am willing to fight for Your Majesty."
“……”
This time, after the Spirit Monarch finished speaking, several civil and military officials stood up.
Some were genuinely protecting Han, some wanted to fish in troubled waters, and some had other ideas.
However, Emperor Han Ling was quite satisfied.
"Alright, with the loyalty of all my beloved ministers and the millions of soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty, a mere Yellow Turban evil thief can be destroyed with a flip of his hand.”
Emperor Han Ling laughed loudly and said,""Prepare a decree to confer He Jin the title of Great General and lead the five northern military officers to guard Luoyang.”
"Lu Zhi will be appointed as the general of the North. He will lead an army of 50,000 to attack the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou.”
"Huangfu Song will be appointed as the Left Middle General, and Zhu Jun will be the Right Middle General. They will jointly attack the Yellow Turban bandits in Yingchuan.”
"Seal…"
Seeing the Spirit Monarch so casually issue the decree, the officials below could not help but look at each other, but no one said anything to stop him.
Even Yuan Kui, Yang Biao, and the other three officials were silent.
As for He Jin, he would not have any objections after obtaining the position of Great General.
"Dear ministers, if you have any other ideas, you can also raise them.”
After a round of empty rewards, Emperor Han Ling's mood was much better, and his expression was much better.
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban rebellion happened so suddenly that it swept through all thirteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty. With just the Imperial Court's army suppressing it, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to take care of everything in the short term.”
Below, Yuan Kui, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh, what does Minister Yuan have to teach me?"
Although the Spirit Monarch loathed this person, he did not dare to underestimate him.
The Yuan family had four generations and three dukes, and their disciples and old officials were all over the world. Other than the Yang family, no other aristocratic family could compare.
Emperor Ling of Han seemed to be muddle-headed and incompetent, but in reality, he saw it clearer than anyone else.
His fall was also a form of helplessness.
"This subject has a humble opinion and does not dare to teach Your Majesty!" At this moment, Yuan Kui spoke again,"
"In my opinion, Your Majesty can issue a decree to let the counties recruit soldiers on their own. After suppressing the Yellow Turban rebellion, they can disband.”
Hearing this, Emperor Han Ling's eyes lit up." Good, good, good. Minister Yuan's suggestion is simply wonderful."”
He didn't need the imperial court to pay for the food and let the local government resolve the rebellion by themselves. This was in line with the Han Ling Emperor's mentality.
Some of the officials frowned slightly, feeling that Yuan Kui's suggestion was somewhat problematic.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Due to Yuan Kui's status, these people did not think too much about it.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Emperor Han Ling was all smiles and in a good mood.
The Yellow Turban rebellion had given him a lot of pressure, but now it seemed that it was not a big deal.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Rang, who was beside Emperor Han Ling, narrowed his eyes and a strange light flashed across his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this servant also has a suggestion.”
"Oh, tell me!"
As the officials in the court frowned, Zhang Rang shrieked,""Your Majesty, the Liao General Chen Zhan is good at fighting and has killed many people in the border areas.”
"Such a fierce general, why don't Your Majesty transfer him to the Central Plains to suppress the rebels?”
As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, the court fell silent.
The civil and military officials were deep in thought, unable to understand what this eunuch meant.
Liao General-Chen Zhan!
This was the second time they had heard this name in the past few days.
Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and the others frowned at first, but then they relaxed.
No matter what Zhang Rang's goal was, if Chen Zhan was really a fierce general, it would only be beneficial to the current situation.
"Hahaha, fortunately, my dear minister reminded me, or else I would have forgotten.”At this moment, Emperor Han Ling laughed and said,"
"To be able to kill the Wuhuan Chanyu, Chen Zhan is indeed a rare and fierce general.”
"Pass on my decree. Chen Zhan will be promoted to the rank of General of the Tiger Troop. He will immediately lead his troops to the Central Plains to suppress the Yellow Turban rebellion.”
"This…"
Upon hearing Emperor Ling's decree, many officials were jealous.
He wanted to object, but he didn't dare to say it.
It would be troublesome if they angered Emperor Ling of Han and made them lead troops to fight the Yellow Turbans.
Just like that, Chen Zhan jumped from a general to a general.
He could be considered one of the top names in the entire Great Han Dynasty.
