Three Kingdoms

There was an eerie silence in Deyang Hall.

Liu Xie himself was a formal puppet. When he went to court, he only had two sentences, one was "all the ministers are equal" and the other was "the prime minister's wishes are very good...". Even when he resigned from the court, the eunuch shouted, He had nothing to do, so he had the courage to say something extra just now, which was unprecedented, and it was precisely this that attracted Dong Zhuo's attention.

Fortunately, it was just an insignificant matter. In Dong Zhuo's eyes, it was just a child who couldn't see clearly what people outside the palace said, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, it would be inappropriate to say anything else, so Liu Xie just pursed his lips tightly and watched quietly behind the emperor's crown.

Dong Zhuo didn't speak either.

This matter was obviously caused by the Shandong nobles to cause trouble. Although it was solved by two people under the steps by chance, for Dong Zhuo, it was already remarkable that he could hold back his anger and not burst out, so it was not possible at all. I don't want to say anything.

Tutor Yuan Wei didn't say anything either.

He was disgusted that the two people in front of him ruined the entire plan, not to mention that they were actually being commended now. How could this kind of thing make Grand Tutor Yuan Wei feel comfortable? And from another aspect, now that we have to put aside relationships as much as possible, how can we talk casually?

Li Ru didn't speak either.

Although he has made an agreement with Dong Zhuo and has a plan, it does not mean that he will easily let go of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei and the Yang family, Yang Biao. The reason why he does not deal with them now is because the time is not yet ripe, so it can only be done temporarily. Let it go first, but letting it go doesn't mean letting Yuan Yang pass so easily. It's normal to give it a try first.

As for the other people, when the bosses of the two sides are competing against each other, they want to become invisible immediately, or slip into a crack in the ground, so how can they stand up arrogantly to attract firepower?

Therefore, there was an unusual silence in the main hall, and the awkward atmosphere continued to spread...

Fei Qian knelt down on the mat upright and kept muttering in his heart. He thought that by the time I came in, we would have almost finished talking about it, compromising when it was time to compromise, and suffering losses when it was time to do so. Unexpectedly, Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like they've been discussed. It's clear that a big battle is about to take place...

It's a pity that he is so petty and has no right to speak at all, so he can only continue to sit on his knees and act like a good baby.

Compared with Fei Qian, Zhang Liao on the side could easily throw Fei Qian away for at least ten miles if he were on the battlefield, but now he was very unbearable, with beads of sweat dripping down his hair, making it itchy and uncomfortable, but he still felt unbearable. Don't even dare to wipe it.

Because in the court etiquette of the Han Dynasty, there was only one requirement for kneeling - "sit like a corpse"...

They are all corpses, can they still move?

Wipe sweat?

Don’t even think about it!

Therefore, Zhang Liao could only endure it forcefully.

Fortunately, it was Wang Yun who finally broke the silence and called out the names of the two people at the foot of the steps: "Captain Zhang Wenyuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Cavalry, Fei Ziyuan, the Assistant Minister of the Left Department..."

There is no way. Although Wang Yun is the imperial servant, the key is that he works part-time as the minister. In any case, the rewards and punishments of these two people have to go through the minister's desk, and he can ascend to the imperial servant. He came to the position by relying on himself to reconcile the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei, so in this situation, it was better for him to speak up in both public and private matters.

Zhang Liao was obviously relieved.

The two stood together, cupped their hands and said yes.

"You two will tell us about Hangu in detail. You must not hide it, do you know?" Wang Yun said loudly.

A written report has already been submitted on the Hangu Pass incident. The irony is that everyone present except the Emperor Liu Xie has basically read this report. What is the truth? Most people have an answer in mind.

If the Yellow Turbans were to be suppressed in a general way, they would not go to the court to meet and speak in court. It was not the great achievement of killing the three Yellow Turban leaders Zhang Jiao and others. Even according to the written report, only three people were killed. There are just over a thousand Yellow Turban thieves, but do they want to come to Deyang Hall specifically to speak out?

When Huangfu Song defeated the Yellow Turban, not all the generals went to Beijing to have an audience. Except for Huangfu Song, who was the commander-in-chief of the army, he was received by the emperor as a matter of course. Most of the small and medium-sized generals stayed in Guangzong, waiting for their respective official posts. . Therefore, if a small-scale battle such as the killing of three thousand Yellow Turbans had not occurred at Hangu Pass, which obviously involved both sides of the current struggle in Luoyang, there would not even be any chance of going to court, but would be directly calculated according to military merit. Just give him a reward, add a false title or something, and that'll be it.

It will definitely not be as big a fanfare as it is now...

This matter depends on Dong Zhuo's intention. Whether he wants to dig deeper into it or not, he is just a general Yellow Turban thief. But once he digs deeper, it will be a big trouble.

Wang Yun asked Zhang Liao and Fei Qian to say it again, just to make the matter final in front of everyone...

Moreover, Wang Yun didn't get any advice from Li Ru, so he didn't know what Dong Zhuo meant, so he adopted the most conservative plan and let Zhang Liao and Fei Qian speak for themselves, and also emphasized that "no concealment is allowed" "So whether Zhang Liao and Fei Qian tell the specific truth or not, it has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Liao's official position was higher than that of Fei Qian, and he was also the main leading general, so Zhang Liao was the one to explain the "Yellow Turban Thieves" incident at Hangu Pass.

Although Zhang Liao seemed a little nervous just now, after he actually spoke, his voice was smooth, clear and calm.

Zhang Liao told the truth and did not make any speculations or judgments. He just described what happened in Gucheng. In order to trace the source of the incident, he followed the traces to Hangu Pass and met Fei Qian who had escaped. Knowing that the Hangu Pass Order was related to the Yellow Turbans, they quickly marched in and captured Hangu Pass unprepared, and then resisted the siege of Hangu Pass Order Zheng Ke, and finally designed to kill Zheng Ke and other commanders, and finally lifted the Siege of Hangu Pass...

Fei Qian then added that he just followed the Cai Mansion's collection of books to Hangu Pass, and then encountered Zheng Kuai who surrounded and killed him, and also burned the post house. While escaping, he set fire to the east wall of Hangu Pass, and then met Zhang Liao. …

After Zhang Liao and Fei Qian finished talking, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, neither of them mentioned anything about the so-called Shandong gentry. At most, it was just that the Zheng family in Xingyang somehow got together with the "Yellow Turban Thief". Of course, there was a big battle between Dong Zhuo's army and the Kwantung Allied Forces in Xingyang. Maybe it was because of this that it was hard to say what happened at Hangu Pass.

Anyway, the person involved didn’t say anything...

Originally, this matter could have ended like this.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru said aloud: "Fei Ziyuan, the Minister of the Zuo Department, you arrived at Hangu Pass before the Cavalry Captain Zhang Wenyuan, did you notice anything strange?"

Fei Qian's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Damn you Li Ru, why didn't you follow the script?

It was clearly agreed before, are you going to change your mind now?

Can you please be reasonable and not lead you to play like this...

Cheng Yu turned around and saw that the wound on Cao Cao's hand was bleeding. He took out the handkerchief from his arms and was about to bandage it, but he saw tears in Cao Cao's eyes. He felt very strange. He didn't know why he was sad. His subordinates The movements actually stopped.

But I heard Guan Yu say loudly: "We are very happy to meet now. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will not dare to use private interests to abandon public affairs." Let's just say goodbye. As he spoke, he flicked his robe sleeves, pulled back the horse's head, and said to the troops: spread out in all directions.

At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was blowing the leaves, and the crows were chirping on the top of the trees. Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, and tears came out of his eyes.

Exactly: the autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright; the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws roost and startle again. When will we know each other when we miss each other? It is embarrassing at this time and this night.
