September of the third year of Zhongping (186 AD).

Pang De was very young, tall and broad, with a big face with clear edges and angular cheekbones, a pair of calm and calm eyes, heroic and resolute, generous and generous, with a slightly immature expression. Under the leadership of Zhang He, he strode into the military tent. Xian Yu Fu greeted him, and after greeting each other, he asked, "Man Pang came from afar, what's the point of looking for me?"

Pang De whispered: "There is a man who is here to ask for a meeting with Lord Li."

Xian Yufu was shocked, but his face still had a smile and said loudly: "Mr. Li discussed the rebels' revenge in Jincheng. Don't you know? Master Li probably will be some time before he can come back. If Master Pang must see him, he will have to wait for the master to come back from Jincheng."

Pang De looked solemn and said softly: "Mr. Li has crossed the Yellow River and has quietly returned from the Kuishan Road. Why should he hide it?"

Xian Yufu was shocked and smiled even more kindly on his face, "Man Pang is telling a joke."

Pang De took a step back, bowed again, and said earnestly: "The lower official really wants to see the Lord. The Lord returns from Jincheng, and the Xiliang hermit teacher, Mr. Fan, escorted him along the way. If the Lord doesn't believe it, he can send someone to verify it from Lord Li."

Xian Yufu pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang He. Zhang He hurriedly withdrew from the tent.

Xian Yufu asked Pang De to sit down and asked with a smile: "I seem to have heard of this Xiliang hermit?"

Pang De had just sat down, and heard this and stood up again, bowed and said, "Sir..."

Xian Yufu reached out to hold him and smiled, "You don't have to be polite, so you can sit and say, and say. I remember he is very famous in Xiliang and once followed General Duan to fight against the Western Qiang, right?"

"Yes, he is a peerless master in the hearts of the warriors of Xiliang, and his status is respectable. Twenty years ago, in the eighth year of Yanxi (166), General Duan Yan led his troops to conquer the Dangjian tribe in Huangzhong, and accidentally caught the ambush of the Qiang people and surrounded him. At that time, two masters from Xiliang, Mr. Fan Zhi and Mr. Zhang Ce, accompanied the general. They followed the general's orders, entered the Qiang camp at night, and calmly killed the Qiang people in the army of tens of thousands of troops. The Qiang people lost their leader and then became in chaos. General Duan took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack at night, defeated the Qiang Hu and beheaded thousands of them. After this battle, the two teachers became famous all over the world."

At this time, Li Hong lifted the curtain and walked in. He smiled and said, "Thank you Lao Nie, you actually asked such a peerless master to send me back." Then he bowed to Pang De, "I just neglected Mr. Pang, please forgive me."

Pound looked at him in surprise.

"This is Lord Li Zhonglang Li." Xian Yufu introduced with a smile, "Are you too young?"

Pang De was shocked and hurriedly got up and bowed, "Cao Pang De, a thief under the disciple of Xiaguan Longxi County, met the Lord."

Li Hong took two quick steps, grabbed his hands, and smiled and said, "Man Pang is also very young."

Pang De blushed and said embarrassedly: "The official was rude just now, but he was rude."

Li Hong waved his hand indifferently and asked, "How old are you this year? Are you working for the county government at such a young age?"

Pang De's face turned redder, and he whispered: "Xiaguan just turned seventeen this year. The Southern Commander Ma and my family are family friends. This time, he recommended him to be the leader of the guards. The Xiaguan has been serving in the county government for a few days. I hope you will be more grateful for your rudeness."

Li Hong and Xian Yufu looked at each other, with a look of surprise.

"Be the leader of the guard? The thief Cao under the disciple?" Li Hong asked with a smile, "Then your martial arts must be very high?"

Pang De smiled and seemed very confident.

"Mr. Pang, how do you know that I'm back? Who told you? You have to make it clear." Li Hong patted him affectionately and smiled, "If you can't explain it clearly, I'm afraid you have to fight out to save your life."

Pang De laughed at Li Hong and asked, "Sir, who is the old Nie you mentioned just now?"

"It's Nie Xiao, he is Xiao Qushuai from the Lejie tribe."

Pang De suddenly realized and smiled, "He is not qualified to ask Teacher Fan to do it. This is all arranged by Teacher Bian."

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "How dare Old Nie betray me?"

"Nie Xiao doesn't know about this." Pang De smiled, "Don't misunderstand him. The head of the fort you live in is Yan, and is a friend of Teacher Bian. Teacher Bian heard that his subordinates had arrived at Yunwu secretly and probably would be leaving, so he specially invited Teacher Fan and his disciples to escort the adults to ensure their safety."

"Mr. Bian has troubled me." Li Hong said gratefully, "No wonder Old Nie looked a little wrong when he introduced Senior Fan to me that day." He glanced at Pang De and smiled, "Are you a Senior Fan's disciple?"

"Yes." Pang De smiled slightly, "I rushed here immediately after Lueyang received the news from the teacher."

Li Hong woke up and asked happily: "Are you also a disciple of Mr. Bian? Mr. Bian asked you to bring me things?"

Pang De smiled and said, "That's right, I was entrusted by the teacher and have brought the things secretly to Lueyang."

"That's great." Li Hong bowed and thanked, "Thank you so much. After returning, he told Mr. Bian that I would never break my promise and would fulfill his wish."

Pang De bowed and said, "The officials must be brought here."

Li Hong turned around and waved to Zhang He and said, "Jun Yi, immediately send an order to gather 4,000 iron cavalry and follow Pang Da to Lueyang for a trip."

Liu Yu slowly put down the secret memo in his hand, looked at the gloomy emperor, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, although the facts of Li Zhonglang's report are conclusive, but the involvement is too large. It is better to be cautious."

The emperor sneered and said, "I have my own sense of responsibility. I called you to come because I wanted to ask you, what about the evidence sent by Li Zhonglang? Why don't you give it to me?"

Liu Yu was startled and knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I just received it, but I haven't looked carefully yet, so..."

"Take it now." The emperor said in a stern tone, "Don't be smart, do you think Li Zhonglang is an idiot?"

“陛下……”刘虞有点害怕,但还是鼓足了勇气,诚恳地说道,“陛下请三思啊.如果按这个名单抓下去,洛阳会大乱的.如今北军远征在外……”

"Yes." The emperor opened his small eyes, raised his short eyebrows, and said loudly, "Your dear is right. I immediately issued an order to order the Northern Army to travel day and night and quickly return to Luoyang."

Liu Yu rolled his eyes and complained that he was talking too much. Not only did he not persuade him, he reminded the emperor and transferred the army back. This Li Hong was fine if he was in Xiliang, but he also encouraged His Majesty to fight against corruption in Luoyang. It was really not enough to make a mistake. This kid is getting worse and worse now, and he is still wary of himself. This idiot, what kind of channel did he find to send messages to His Majesty?

Liu Yu was thinking about it here, and the emperor spoke again.

"Let Zhijinwu Zhenju come back with the Northern Army, remember to ask him to bring the collected money and silk to me together."

Liu Yu quickly agreed and then advised again: "Your Majesty, this matter has aroused a whole body..."

The emperor waved at him, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. Liu Yu looked at him in panic.

"Don't worry, I won't kill people. What's the use of killing people? It's not good for me at all. If there is no one in the court, who will I talk to? Who should I ask for money? I just take the opportunity to scratch their oil and water. Yesterday, Lord Grand Prince Nong cried to me in the court, saying that there is no money in the treasury." The emperor picked up Li Hong's secret memorial, shook it, and said, "Isn't this money? I'm in Luoyang and in Guandong, it should be no problem to scrape 10 billion yuan, right?"

Liu Yu was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Don't you believe me?" the emperor smiled strangely and said, "Li Zhonglang is in such a poor place as Xiliang. He can copy more than one billion yuan in any copy. I can't copy more than one billion yuan in a rich place like Luoyang?"

Liu Yu smiled bitterly.

"Don't be the Minister of the House anymore." The emperor carefully folded Li Hong's secret memorial, looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You have worked hard recently, and have done a lot of things for me. I have recommended me a pillar of the country. I will promote you to be Guangluxun."

Guangluxun was in charge of the security affairs in the palace, but its actual power was far more than that. The emperor's think tank team was concentrated here, and it was also a place where alternate officials were trained in concentrated training. Guangluxun had a salary of 2,000 stones, silver seals and green ribbons, and was ranked among the nine ministers, and was a very big official.

Liu Yu was very depressed and complained when he heard the emperor say his official position. He suddenly heard that the emperor appointed him as Guangluxun again. He was immediately ecstatic and lay on the ground happily and kowtowed and thanked him, shouting "Long live...".

"Get up, get up." The emperor waved his hand and said to Liu Yu, "Don't leak this matter, otherwise these people will transfer their money and I will not be able to copy the money. You must know that I have not done such an exciting thing for a long time, so don't wipe out my excitement."

自从西征大军和西凉本州的军队先后进入凉州以后,为了便于管理和协调,张温命令进入凉州的军队粮草都由凉州刺史部统一调拨.耿鄙正是因为有这个权利,所以他很容易的就以各种理由克扣了五万俘虏的粮食.

"Mr. Geng said that those prisoners, especially the Qiang people, would be good if they were not killed. They would also be given two meals a day. What should they do? He said that they should not have left their lives at the beginning, and they should be killed by them all." Xian Yufu said angrily, "I was so convinced that he promised each person to give one liter of food every day. What should he eat for one liter of food? It would be good if he didn't starve to death."

Qu Yi laughed furiously and said, "Does there be any corruption in the evidence collected by Lao Bian about Geng Bi? If so, we will arrest him first."

Li Hong smiled and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, there is still a way." He turned his head to look at Zuo Yan and asked, "Is there any evidence about Geng Bi?"

"No." Zuo Yan said, "Geng Bi took office last fall, and Lao Bian had already rebelled. How could he collect evidence of Geng Bi's corruption? Don't be foolish, you should think of something else."

"The big search is about to start, but such a thing happened." Tian Chong grabbed his little goatee and said, "We didn't pay attention to this problem a few days ago, took their lies seriously. I thought there was really no food in the warehouse in Liangzhou, but I used up all the surplus food in the camp. Unexpectedly, these people were so brave that they dared to deduct our military rations. Lawless."

"Have you gone to the Taiwei Mansion?" Li Hong asked.

"I have sent someone and have sent a few letters." Xian Yufu replied, "The Grand Marshal replied that there are indeed difficulties in food, so we ask ourselves to find a way to solve it ourselves."

"Where is the food your Majesty promised to give us?" Li Hong asked frowned, "Based on time, it's time to come."

"I guess it was detained by the Taiwei Mansion." Qu Yi said hatefully, "Now the world is in chaos, and even His Majesty's imperial edict dares to openly disobey His Majesty's imperial edict."

Silence fell into the big tent.

"Guoan, what's going on in the prisoner camp?" Li Hong asked Wei Zheng, "Do the prisoners know about this?"

"The captive camp is very peaceful." Wei Zheng replied, "Although we have two meals a day now, we can still take care of ourselves. Nothing will happen for the time being. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou have looked for us several times, but we have been evaded. At present, they do not know the lack of food in the army."

"Sir, since they dare to detain grain against orders, we will go and rob his grain warehouse. What do you think?" Qu Yi suddenly stood up and leaned into Li Hong's ear and said.

"Inappropriate." Xian Yufu immediately stopped, "General Dong's army and Huangfu's army were stationed outside Longxian. If we go to grab grain like this blatantly, we will definitely have conflicts with them."

"If it really doesn't work, I can only rob it." Tian Chong said, "According to the current food stored in the camp, 100,000 people can only eat two meals a day, so they can only last for four or five days. What should I do if I don't rob it? Will I force the prisoners to rebel?"

Li Hong thought for a long time and said, "Yu Xing, you will go to the Taiwei Mansion with His Majesty's edict, report the situation to the Taiwei Lord, begging him to give him some food to respond to the emergency. No matter how difficult it is, we must support us to Jincheng to get news. As long as the rebels agree to the pacification, we will have no worries and can do it."

"If the grain arrives in Longxian County, Geng Bi will still not give it?" Qu Yi asked, "Sir, if we don't rob it in a few days, we will go hungry."

Li Hong was confused and helpless.

In the evening, Li Hong kept a few people for dinner. Qu Yi complained that the food was too bad. Tian Chong made fun of him, saying that he was a child of the gentry and was used to enjoying it. He should sit alone at a table and serve him a few dishes alone. The gentry and common people could not eat at the same table. Qu Yi said very embarrassed to him, but he saw that there were only two simple side dishes on the table and he really couldn't eat.

Li Hong smiled and said, "Yuntian, if the Xiliang incident is over, we will go back to Jizhou. Before leaving, you will go to Chang'an to treat us to dinner. This is what you said."

Qu Yi said, "Don't worry, sir, what I promised you will certainly be fulfilled. At that time, I will definitely invite you to the best restaurant in Chang'an to have a good drink, eat and have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good

Zuo Yan asked, "Is the adult family very rich?"

麴义很谦虚地笑笑,说道:“还好,还好,我们家虽然有不少钱,但都是祖上留下来的.我母亲非常喜欢我,对我很溺爱,所以我自小就会花钱,是个败家子.不过我两个兄弟会挣钱,这几年他们在长安置了不少家产.现在我母亲和他们一起住在长安.”

Xian Yufu asked hurriedly: "Then the last time you went back to Chang'an, did you go home to visit your old mother?"

Qu Yi blushed, looked at Wei Zheng a little embarrassedly, and asked, "Isn't this considered a violation of military discipline?"

Li Hong, Tian Chong and Zuo Yan laughed. Xian Yufu felt abrupt and looked at Qu Yi apologetically. Wei Zheng looked at him seriously and said, "Even if you violate military discipline, you should go home to see your mother. Let's not take the example."

Li Hong smiled and said, "Okay, we finally seized the handle of Guoan. It turns out that the traitors also have time to abuse their power."

Qu Yi glared at Li Hong with dissatisfaction and said, "I'll spend money to treat you to dinner in Chang'an. You must give me some benefits."

Several people were chatting and laughing here, and Zhang He hurried in.

"Junyi, let's have a meal together." Li Hong called out.

"Sir, the emperor has a handwritten edict to send it to the camp."

"Your Majesty has a reply." Li Hong said happily, "Brother Yuxing, you go to the big tent to pick it up, I will not show up for the time being. Junyi, sit down and have a meal."

Xian Yufu hurriedly left. Qu Yi saw Zhang He eating a bowl quickly and asked strangely: "Do you want food to eat?"

Zhang He looked at him in surprise and asked back, "Do you want food for dinner?"

Tian Chong couldn't help laughing, and burst into laughter. He shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "A rich child..."

It didn't take long, and Xian Yufu came back.

"What did Your Majesty say in the edict?" Li Hong asked.

While handing the edict to Li Hong, Xian Yufu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has agreed to your request and is ready to act at the same time as us. He has issued an order to recruit the Northern Army and rush back to Luoyang immediately."

Qu Yi said in confusion when he heard this: "Have your Majesty suddenly awakened to cleanse the flaws and filth, and have a bloody massacre of the city?"

Li Hong handed the edict in his hand to Qu Yi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to make 10 billion yuan in Luoyang, that's a huge number." Then he looked at Xian Yufu and continued, "Your Majesty urgently transferred back to the Northern Army before the Western Liang Dynasty was pacified, which will inevitably attract the attention of the ministers in the court."

"So what?" Qu Yi said: "They wouldn't think that His Majesty would smoke their blood and skin them, right?"

Everyone in the tent smiled easily.

"With His Majesty having so much money, will he reduce the tax and give the people some breath?" Tian Chong asked with a smile.

Zuo Yan shook his head and sighed: "The people are suffering even more."

Qu Yi asked in confusion: "Sir Sima, what do you mean by saying this?"

Li Hong also asked, "Junyi, why did you say that?"

"We do this, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Zuo Yan said worriedly, "We have sorted out hundreds of corrupt officials from the evidence provided by Lao Bian. These people have close ties with the traitors, aristocratic bureaucrats, and the powerful families in the court. After the emperor investigated, these major forces must be caught by His Majesty and were scolded. In this way, their power will not only be weakened, but also spend a lot of money to atone for themselves. How can they give up in their anger? You know, now the officials in various local prefectures and counties are children of the royal family, disciples and old officials of various forces. These people will impose losses on the heads of the people. They will take the opportunity to increase various names of tyrants and taxes, impose violent taxes on the people, and strive to make up for their losses in the shortest time, so..."

The joy in everyone's hearts was suddenly lost by Zuo Yan's words. Everyone was in a heavy mood and felt very depressed.

Tian Chong slapped the table hard and said loudly: "If you don't eradicate these treacherous slandering in the court, the people of the world will not have a good life."

"I want to have 100,000 soldiers in my hand, so I will kill Luoyang, kill these villains who harm the country and the people, and kill all these shameless people." Qu Yi stood up suddenly and said angrily.

Xian Yufu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Yuntian should not talk nonsense."

=

Li Hong looked at Qu Yi who was gritting his teeth with interest, and suddenly felt aroused, and said happily: "I have a way."

Everyone looked at him strangely. Tian Chong asked, "How to save the people of the world?"

"How can I have that ability?" Li Hong said with a smile, "I have a way to ask for food. Junyi, go to the big tent and ask the knight who is fast riding at the eight hundred miles to wait for a moment. I have a secret report to the emperor."

Zhang He hurriedly ran out.

Zuo Yan asked, "What good idea did you have?"

"As soon as the Northern Army leaves, there will be fewer troops stationed in Xiliang. Once Xiliang is pacified, we will leave here. Then the remaining troops in Xiliang will only need General Dong's western border army, Yuntian's Jincheng border army, Zilie's county and state soldiers, and Ma Teng's thousands of Longxi border army. Together, there will be less than 50,000 troops, and their strength is quite weak." Li Hong said worriedly, "If the Qiang and Hu invade, these people will not be enough."

Qu Yi suddenly understood, and he punched Li Hong hard and said happily: "Now there are 50,000 prisoners in Zixiu Mountain, and most of them belong to Qiang people. They are all strong people. If they are directly converted into soldiers of Xiliang, the number of troops in Xiliang will suddenly turn over, and our strength will increase greatly..." He nodded repeatedly, looking like he was drooling.

"Fifty thousand troops..." Zuo Yan said, "Sir, now is no longer the same as when we were in Jizhou this spring. At that time, His Majesty asked for people to fight, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners turned around. But now he doesn't need so many troops. The war in Xiliang is about to be pacified, and His Majesty is ready to withdraw his troops. Will he still agree to expand the troops and recruit troops?"

Li Hong smiled and said, "We will make the situation worse and we are not afraid that Your Majesty will not agree. We will turn these prisoners into soldiers and the food will be solved. They have reason to starve the prisoners to death, but they have absolutely no courage to starve the soldiers to death unless they don't want to live. In addition, this group of soldiers is led by Yuntian, Zilie, Ziwei and others. In the future, they will be the main force to guard Xijiang, and the stability of Xiliang will be guaranteed."

"Sir, write quickly, write a memorial to Your Majesty." Qu Yi urged excitedly.

"Fifty thousand troops?" Xian Yufu smiled, "Soci, is it possible that you ask Your Majesty for so many institutions? Even if Your Majesty agrees, will those ministers agree? The bureaucrats in the court are now afraid that your army will become more and more powerful, think about it..."

"I don't want to think about it anymore." Li Hong smiled, "How can I do things if I think about many things? It depends on others and the success of things is in heaven. Junyi, write quickly..."

Wei Zheng rarely spoke, but suddenly said: "Sir, how should Beigong Boyu and a group of small and small Qu coaches deal with it?"

"We will ask Your Majesty for a special pardon and let them go home immediately." Li Hong said indifferently.

The Grand Marshal Zhang Wen, the Grand Marshal Huangfu Hong, received the imperial edict for withdrawing troops one after another.

Zheng Wu Zhenju and Huangfu Hong did not dare to delay. On the one hand, they sent people to Zixiushan camp to get money, silk, silk, jewelry, and then drove the camp and quickly went east.

Zhang Wen was very strange about the emperor's decision. He didn't understand what His Majesty meant. He summoned the people from the Taiwei Mansion to discuss for a long time, but still couldn't make any mistakes. The matter in Xiliang has not been finalized, and there may be some changes. At this time, His Majesty hurriedly withdraws the troops, which will definitely have an impact on recruiting the rebels. Li Hong was stranded in Jincheng because of injury, not because of negotiations. If Li Hong had an accident, he would send people to Jincheng to recruit the rebels again. Maintaining the number of troops can maintain the pressure on the rebels.

Zhang Wen hurriedly wrote a letter to persuade Your Majesty. After hearing the news, the ministers in the court, led by Situ Cui Lie, spared no expense to write a letter to the court to persuade him. The emperor ignored him.

The Central General Zhao Zhong and a group of traitor eunuchs were very happy. Now that the relationship between Zhang Wen and Li Hong was getting worse and worse, and the Northern Army was withdrawn, Zhang Wen would have no strength in Xiliang. This was a big blow to the aristocratic bureaucrats. Once Li Hong died in Jincheng, the traitor eunuchs and Dong Zhuo's army could use it. They could seize the opportunity and take the opportunity to attack Zhang Wen and the aristocratic bureaucrats.

Liu Yu was promoted to Guangluxun, one of the nine ministers. This news made the traitor and the aristocratic bureaucrats happy. Liu Yu was Li Hong's former lord and the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, and was deeply favored by His Majesty. Many of Li Hong's secret memorials were handed over to His Majesty at the first time through Liu Yu's hands. Therefore, all forces in the court had long wanted to kick Liu Yu down from the Shang Dynasty and lead Liu Yu away from the emperor. They were always thinking of ways. Unexpectedly, the emperor was so reasonable that he promoted Liu Yu a little, fulfilling their wishes.

One day, Jian Shuo from the little yellow gate was with the emperor. The two chatted. The emperor was happy and bragged to Jian Shuo casually, saying that he was going to make a fortune immediately. Jian Shuo was surprised and flattered the emperor hard and wanted to mess with his words. The emperor was so excited by his coaxing that he actually said something unexpectedly, saying that he had promised Li Hong that he would recruit troops to expand his army in Xiliang.

Jian Shuo was secretly frightened and immediately sent someone to tell Zhao Zhong the news. Although they had always had conflicts, at this time, for the common interests of the eunuchs, the two sides still had to unite and communicate with each other. Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang immediately summoned a group of traitors to discuss privately, thinking that there was a reputation here. Li Hong could not afford to be seriously injured in Jincheng, so how could there be a request for expanding the army? Has Li Hong already secretly returned to Zixiushan camp? Zhao Zhong was very worried and immediately notified Song Dian and Dong Zhuo.

=

At this time, Li Hong had received the emperor's imperial edict and special amnesty order, allowing him to recruit rebel prisoners and immediately expand his army to prepare for the stability of Xiliang in the future.

The Grand Marshal Zhang Wen also received the imperial edict. Although Zhang Wen did not agree to expand the army, he still had to provide food before the emperor changed his mind, otherwise he would be resistant to the edict.

Li Hong and the generals were overjoyed. Xian Yufu and Qu Yi immediately summoned the rebel leaders Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, explained the emperor's will in detail to them, and gave them a special amnesty order, allowing them to take the commander of the big and small Qu tribes of the Qiang tribes and some rebel officers to leave. They were acquitted. What else could Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou say? The next day, they hurriedly left Zixiu Mountain with more than a thousand people and returned to Jincheng County.

After the initial fear and riots, the 50,000 prisoners gradually calmed down. They were all in the army or bandits everywhere. In comparison, it was best to be a soldier in the Han army camp, with no worries and no worries about food and clothing. They had military pay when they were alive, and their families could get a pension if they died.

Li Hong immediately ordered Tian Chong to issue the first month's full military pay, and the captives' emotions stabilized. Three days later, Li Hong ordered Xian Yufu and Qu Yi to reorganize 50,000 prisoners, and to draw a large number of officers from the Xiliang army to enrich the reorganized army. Then, the army began training.

=

After receiving the news from Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and Dong Zhuo immediately explored the Zixiushan camp. They used various methods, and even Song Dian personally went to the camp to search everywhere in the name of inspection, but no trace of Li Hong was found. After Song Dian and Dong Zhuo discussed, they could not understand the mystery here. However, Li Ru keenly smelled the danger, and once again urged Dong Zhuo to ask his younger brother Dong Min to leave Guanzhong and go to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo did not dare to be careless, and immediately sent someone to his hometown in Huaili to urge his family to leave Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Half a month later, Zhen Ju and Huangfu Hong led the Northern Army to the Northern Army camp in Luoyang.

Xu Rong and Han Sui finally reached an agreement on the issue of pacification. Bian Zhang and Han Sui immediately wrote letters of apology to the emperor. Nie Xiao crossed the Yellow River overnight with his letter of apology, crossed Kuiyuan Gorge, and rushed to Zixiu Mountain Camp. Li Hong immediately wrote a letter to the emperor and sent Bian Zhang and Han Sui's letter of apology to Luoyang with a fast cavalry of 800 miles to Luoyang.

When the emperor saw the apology, he summoned Taichang Liu Yan, Guangluxun Liu Yu, and Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo to discuss the matter of purging corruption and raiding the house. Guangluxun Liu Yu took the military talisman to lead the army to the Northern Army camp. Taichang Liu Yan, Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo immediately rushed to the Tingwei Mansion and presided over the purging corruption and raiding the house. overnight, the number of officials arrested in Luoyang reached 137. The next day, the arrest operation expanded to Henan Prefecture, Hedong Prefecture, and Hongnong Prefecture in the Sili area of ​​Guandong. Within seven days, 456 people were arrested. Guandong was shocked.

At the same time, Li Hong raised 10,000 cavalry and started a new round of arrests in Xiliang, mainly in Guanzhong. Within a few days, 327 people were arrested.

The Han Kingdom was in horror.
Chapter completed!
