Recently, there was a rumor in Luoyang that the general had colluded with the rebels of Xiliang. The emperor naturally heard the Zhongchang attendants say it in an eccentric way, but this was the rumor and there was no evidence. Zhang Wen suddenly threw out this former prefect of Jiuquan Huang Yan, whose intention was self-evident.

Wang Guo and Han Sui were both Han Han people and famous scholars. In the current situation of the invasion of the Xianbei people, the most basic righteousness must be discussed, otherwise they will lose some of the people's hearts. So whoever goes to Xiliang to recruit and pacify is very successful. But it is a bit special for He Yong to go there. He is Sima of the General's Mansion and He Jin's right-hand man. After the pacification is completed, the rumors in Luoyang will intensify immediately, because the smooth pacification itself is a strong evidence, and the impact on the general is obvious. If he cannot recruit, it is a problem with the face of the General's Mansion, and He Yong's life is difficult to guarantee. If He Yong dies, it will be a blow to He Jin's power.

He Jin was in a dilemma and hesitated. Zhang Wen got the news, and it might have been leaked by people in the mansion, and he was also a person involved in the matter. Otherwise, how could Zhang Wen know that Huang Yan was not dead? But it could have been leaked by Huang Yan himself? After Huang Yan was defeated in Yicheng, he expected to kill him, so he had many guards and escaped assassination several times. When He Yong arrived in Xiliang, would Huang Yan be angry and angry and kill He Yong?

"Love..." Seeing that He Jin had no reaction at all, the emperor asked, "Love is unwilling to do it?"

He Jin was helpless and bowed and said, "I received the order."

After saying a lot of boring numbers, Wang Han, the Grand Secretary, began to complain.

"Your Majesty, now all prefectures and counties are plowing in spring, managing and dredging channels, and writing letters to ask for money. The 200 million yuan that Your Majesty promised to allocate to Youzhou before the New Year has not been fulfilled yet. Several prefectures and counties on the border are now fighting, and the memorials for military funds are like snowflakes. I don't dare to open it now."

"My dear, don't mention borrowing money anymore." The emperor immediately interrupted him and said bluntly, "I have no money."

Wang Han knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Jingzhao Yin Gai has summoned 100,000 people for the war in Western Xinjiang, and urged me to pay me every day. I am really powerless. Please understand my difficulties."

"Hundreds of thousands of people?" the emperor asked in surprise, "Do you want a hundred thousand people?"

"Your Majesty, it's a thousand miles away from Chang'an to Gaoping, and the journey is extremely difficult. Without a large number of civilians, it's difficult to deliver food, grass and supplies to the battlefield as scheduled." Zhang Wen also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, even if all Li Zhonglang's army arrived at the battlefield, the food and weapons they carried with them were very limited, and they could only last for three to four days at most. Without food, grass and weapons, it would be a dead end."

"Strange thing." The emperor rolled his eyes, looked around at the ministers, and said suspiciously, "Why didn't I hear that I wanted so many civilians during the battle in Yicheng?"

"During the Yicheng War, Li Zhonglang had only 50,000 troops, and Li Zhonglang succeeded in the battle and did not fight the rebels continuously." Liu Yu knelt down and said, "But this time, Li Zhonglang led his troops to block the attack. What he fought was consumption, and what he compared was the troops and money. Whoever could hold on to fight would win. Therefore, the continuous supply of food and weapons was the primary condition to ensure that Li Zhonglang blocked the Xianbei people in Gaoping. Your Majesty, I believe that if you want to win this battle, 100,000 people might not be enough."

Situ Cui Lie and Sikong Xu Xiang also hurriedly advised them. The emperor looked at them suspiciously, paced back and forth without saying a word.

At this time, He Jin suddenly took out a memorial and handed it to Jian Shuo, the little yellow gate who was serving him. Jian Shuo put the memorial on the table and spread it out.

The emperor didn't look at it, pointed to the memorial and asked, "What's the matter?"

He Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court spent a lot of military funds to fight the invasion of the Hu people and emptied the national treasury, but some people were corrupt and abused the law and seized personal gain."

Several ministers shook their heads when they heard this. When did these trivial matters be discussed?

The emperor snorted a few times and asked, "Who are they all?"

"Many officials from the Taiwei Mansion took advantage of the opportunity of fighting in the Western Xinjiang to raise food and supplies, and privately accepted bribes, using inferior products as good ones, buying low prices and selling high prices, and making amazing profits from it." He Jin said loudly, "I think that if these corrupt officials do not kill them first, we will not be able to win this battle even if we spend more money."

All the ministers were shocked. He Jin had already made a move.

Zhang Wen's face changed a little, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I will go back to the house to investigate the matters reported by the General immediately and ask Your Majesty to give me some time."

The emperor looked at He Jin carefully and said, "Forget it, my dear, please avoid it. Leave this matter to the Tingwei Mansion."

"Your Majesty, the war in Western Xinjiang is in full swing. Let's discuss this matter later." Lu Zhi knelt down on the ground, and repeatedly said, "The Taiwei and the Taiwei Mansion are in charge of military affairs in all directions and are responsible for protecting the safety of our country and the country of Han. At this time, the war in the border counties is everywhere and the rebellion of Xiliang has not yet been quelled, how can the Taiwei Mansion fall into panic? Your Majesty, think about the Han country and the country..."

"If it is for my Han Dynasty, the Taiwei Mansion should not be stolen." The emperor waved his hand angrily to interrupt Lu Zhi's plea and said loudly, "The affairs of the Taiwei and the Taiwei Mansion will be handled by the Shangshutai from now on."

He Jin was secretly proud, and suddenly heard the emperor say that the Shangshutai was in charge of handling military affairs. His face suddenly froze, his heart was cold, loss and anger filled his mind instantly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Several important officials looked at the emperor in surprise, and it was a little difficult to accept the emperor's words for a moment.

"Your Majesty, follow the rules of the Han Dynasty..." Situ Cui Lie whispered.

"I am the rule of the Han Dynasty." The emperor furiously punched the desk and pulled his neck and shouted, "What should I do if I say I can do?"

The ministers were shocked and fell to the ground.

"House Huangfu Song of the capital was moved to the Shangshu Order and immediately went to the Shangshu Detachment to handle military affairs."

"Your Majesty, I want to borrow money from Your Majesty." Wang Han saw the emperor's anger and rushed out of the door of heaven and earth, and jumped up in a hurry, and grabbed the emperor's sleeve, "Your Majesty, if you don't have money, what should I do tomorrow?"

The emperor struggled hard for a few times, but he couldn't help but curse.

Wang Han refused to let go and begged: "Your Majesty, if you don't lend me money, you can send me to Beisi Prison. If you don't have money tomorrow, I really have no place to go."

"Why?" the emperor stopped cursing and asked curiously, "You can go home with illness."

"Your Majesty, the people who asked me for money not only filled the Grand Secretary's Agricultural Mansion, but also the family was full of houses. I really had nowhere to hide." Wang Han grabbed the sleeve of the emperor's robe and said pitifully, "I beg Your Majesty to lend some money to the Grand Secretary's Agricultural Mansion?"

The emperor had no choice but to ask, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Wang Han was overjoyed when he heard this and said loudly: "One billion, Your Majesty, I only borrow one billion."

"What did you say? One billion yuan." The emperor widened his eyes in surprise and shouted loudly, "How can I have one billion yuan?"

The smoke of wolf was rolling in the Muxia, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky.

After Helian and Tuoba Feng led an army of 60,000 to Muxia Pass, they immediately started the attack. The Xianbei people obviously made sufficient preparations to attack Muxia Pass. They each had a cowhide bag, put the soil on the ground and threw it directly under the city, building a soil slope of the same height as the city wall.

Just as the Xianbei people worked hard to build the earth slope, Duan Xuan ran into Muxia Pass with a thousand reinforcements. The Han army was in distress by the dense array of arrows of the Xianbei people. Duan Xuan tried to lead people to the city wall several times, but was shot back.

The Xianbei people began a crazy attack along the slope. The Han army was not afraid of the dark enemy troops under the city. Everyone was ready to die and rushed to kill one by one. The battle was extremely tragic.

＝＝＝

The strong wind and sand led more than 6,000 people to gallop.

The wolf smoke from Muxia Pass soared into the sky, and could be seen more than ten miles away. It was a signal of the Han army asking for help.

"Haha, I didn't expect there would be a war in Muxia Pass." Xinhu screamed in excitement and shouted repeatedly: "Brothers, hurry up, hurry..."

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, tell Muxia Pass that reinforcements will arrive soon, and arrive soon." The whip of the wind and sand whipped wildly, wishing that the clouds could fly and the fog would grow, and the armpits would grow wings.

Hundreds of horns were blown at the same time, and the low and passionate trumpet echoed among the mountains, and it was very far away.

＝＝＝

Duan Xuan was covered in blood and fought fiercely. He held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, invincible.

Bu Chuihong, a warrior of the Tuoba clan, met Duan Xuan. His sword was thick and heavy. When he waved, the wind and thunder stirred up. He slashed Duan Xuan's seventeen swords in a row, shattered Duan Xuan's shield, cut Duan Xuan's sword, and then kicked Duan Xuan away with one kick.

Duan Xuan squirted blood and stood up staggeringly. At this moment, he heard the sound of a trumpet from behind the gate. Duan Xuan suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he shook his head and listened carefully again.

Through the fierce fighting on the city wall, he clearly heard the horn of reinforcements.

In an instant, infinite strength suddenly emerged from Duan Xuan's exhausted body. He stretched out his feet to lift the spear on the ground, raised the spear and roared: "Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, Fengyun Iron Cavalry has arrived..."

"The Fengyun Iron Cavalry has arrived..."

The morale of the Han soldiers who were trapped in a melee was suddenly boosted. While fighting hard, everyone cheered and shouted deafeningly.

"Kill..." Duan Xuan held the spear in both hands, like a bloodthirsty tiger, and rushed into the enemy group again.

＝＝＝

Tuoba Feng, who was commanding the siege at the gate of the city, suddenly heard the sound of cheers coming from the city wall and was shocked.

"Han reinforcements have arrived?"

"Sir Hui, the Han soldiers were shouting at Fengyun Iron Cavalry, and their morale rose sharply."

The anger in Tuoba Feng's heart erupted uncontrollably.

"Tell me the soldiers of the guard camp, follow me to kill the city wall."

Xiaoguan.

The two armies above and below the city were tense and were about to break out.

Lu Ri deduction pointed to the big banner on the Xiaoguan city tower, and smiled and lobbed at Yan Li: "Wolf Head, do you think, how many sheep is that big banner worth?"

Yan Liyou squinted his eyes and looked at him, touched his bald head, and smiled and said, "Old Niu, do you want it? I'll sell it to you, and you give me a war horse."

"You are crazy about poverty." Luri Demotion laughed, "How can a broken flag be worth a horse?"

"There is also the flagpole below, I'll sell it to you in one hand."

"Okay, okay, just a horse." Luri Deduction glanced at him and said, "Wolf Head, it depends on whether you have the ability. If I grab it first..."

"Don't worry, it's not easy for me to fight against ten warriors, and to grab a broken flag."

"Okay, let's take a look." Luri Deduction said with a smile.

He raised the whip in his hand and waved the horn soldiers behind him twice, "Blow the trumpet and attack the city."

Xu Rong, Nie Xiao, and Lou Lu led the Iron Cavalry to Linjing City one day in advance. On the same day, Xin Zeng, the commander of Jingzhao Prefecture, also walked into the city with five thousand soldiers.

In the camp, Xian Yufu and Xu Rong introduced Nie Xiao, Lou Lu, She Yingtong, Lei Zi and other leading generals, and they sat together to discuss the war.

"Brother Yuxing, Lord Li asked you to stay. Have you made other arrangements for us?" Xu Rong asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'll tell you about the court's strategy first." Xian Yufu spread out the map and explained the direction of Dong Zhuo's army and the intention of the court to attack forward and backward.

"Mr. I believe that if we throw the existing army into Gaoping and block the Xianbei people from going south, the casualties will definitely be amazing, and there is no meaning. The city that should be lost will still be lost, so he wants to lure the enemy deeper and lead the Xianbei people to Liupanshan."

"Retreat to Liupan Mountain?" Xu Rong pinched his huge hand, thought for a long time, and said, "If Your Majesty knows, he will chop his head."
