"Cai Yong, how dare you! The origin of Liu Ye's army is unknown. Who knows if he is colluding with those Yellow Turban bandits?”
"Not long ago, His Majesty sent General Bao Xin to lead the army. How could he change his mind at a time like this when he was going to deal with Liu Ye?”
Seeing Cai Yong mention Liu Ye, He Jin quickly stood out and scolded.
Now, he and Liu Ye already had an irreconcilable grudge. If Liu Ye gained power and even became the Crown Prince of the Great Han Dynasty, then what would He Jin and the He family do?
Cai Yong ignored He Jin's objection and once again stood up and cupped his hands,""Prince Zhao has done a great job in guarding Yanmen and has done nothing wrong. Previously, when His Majesty sent troops to attack, I wanted to dissuade him.”
"No matter what, it doesn't change the fact that His Highness the King of Zhao is His Majesty's prince. As long as His Majesty can persuade him nicely, I'm willing to risk my life to go and persuade His Highness the King of Zhao to send troops to pacify the Yellow Turban bandits.”
"In this way, our Great Han will have another prince who can fight and share Your Majesty's worries.”
When he thought of how fierce the Yellow Turban bandits were now and how they might even attack Luoyang, Liu Hong also had the intention of giving in when he heard these words.
Considering that the Yellow Turban Army could come to Luoyang at any time, Liu Hong did not beat around the bush with these civil and military officials. Instead, he said bluntly,""Cai Yong's words do make sense. What do you all think?”
As Liu Ye's hardcore enemy, He Jin would never let Liu Ye take the throne no matter what.
If Liu Ye really led his troops to pacify the Yellow Turban bandits, once he made a great contribution and took control of the army, Liu Ye's reputation would multiply. At that time, his nephew Liu Bian would probably have to pay an even greater price if he wanted to inherit the throne.
Putting these aside, He Jin and his sister had already formed a life and death feud with Liu Ye.
Back then, in order to deal with Liu Ye, He Jin did not hesitate to use the entire Yanmen Gate as a price to lure the Xianbei to attack Yanmen. Now, he did not dare to let Liu Ye expand.
Once Liu Ye became the future emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, He Jin and the entire He family would lose their lives. There was no way to survive.
Therefore, He Jin did not even think about it and quickly stood up to report,"Your Majesty, that King of Zhao, Liu Ye, is clearly holding his troops in high regard. Some time ago, Your Majesty had already sent General Bao Xin to lead the army to attack Yanmen, and now you have sent Liu Ye to quell the Yellow Turban rebellion.”
"If you go back on your word like this, I'm afraid you'll be laughed at by the world. I'm afraid you'll lose face.”
Liu Hongxin said,'Compared to face, I want to protect my position and the Great Han Empire more.'
Liu Hong slammed the table and snorted,""The King of Zhao did nothing wrong. You were the one who strongly recommended Bao Xin to attack Yanmen. Now that the Yellow Turban bandits are powerful, you advise me not to use the King of Zhao. Then tell me who I should use.”
"If Great General is capable, I will order you to lead the army to attack the Yellow Turban bandits.”
"I…"
He Jin was speechless by Liu Hong's words.
If he really had the ability, he would have personally led the troops to deal with those Yellow Turban bandits.
The problem was that the Yellow Turban bandits were powerful, and there was no way to gather more soldiers near Si Li. He Jin also had no commanding skills.
As He Jin retreated, Liu Hong did not say anything. He personally wrote an imperial edict and handed it to Cai Yong,"Cai Yong, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip personally and pass down an order to the King of Zhao to quickly lead his army south to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.”
Cai Yong cupped his hands and promised," Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not fail my mission. I will definitely persuade the King of Zhao to send troops to quell the Rebellion of Gold."”
After the court session, Cai Yong hurried home, packed his luggage, and prepared to leave for Yanmen.
However, Cai Yan suddenly appeared behind Cai Yong, looking at him anxiously.
How could Cai Yong not understand what his daughter meant? He patted her hand and comforted her,
"Daughter, now that you have an engagement with the Wei family of the east of the river, it's not appropriate for you to show your face in public at this time.”
"Although I'm not a high official, I still have some reputation. I still have a certain understanding of His Highness.”
"No matter if it's for the sake of talent or reputation, Prince Zhao won't make things difficult for me. You can just stay at home.”
Hearing this, Cai Yan said leisurely," Father, how can I let you take the risk alone? Why don't you let me accompany you? Perhaps you'll have a greater chance."”
Cai Yong frowned. He understood what his daughter meant and said hesitantly,"But now that you've already arranged a marriage with the Wei family, this…"
"Father was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the Great Han Dynasty. What does it matter?"
"If we can really make Prince Zhao send troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion and return peace to the world, everything I've done will be worth it.”
Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan for a long time with a complicated expression. In the end, he nodded his head solemnly.
Not long after, the father and daughter hurriedly set foot on the road to Yanmen.
Just as Cai Yong brought Cai Yan on his way, Great General He entered his residence.
How could He Jin sit still and watch Liu Hong prepare to invite Liu Ye out of the mountain to quell the rebellion?
After thinking for a long time in the room, a vicious plan had already surged into his mind.
"Cai Yong, you old fogey, how dare you ruin this Great General's plans. This time, this Great General will deal with you as well.”
He Jin clenched his fists and immediately ordered someone to write a letter. He also ordered someone to speed up the horse and hand it to Bao Xin before the imperial court's envoy arrived at Yanmen.
