Chapter 124
Jianning five years, July

court meeting,

The emperor sat angrily on the upper seat, looked at the ministers, and asked:
"What should we do about this matter? Send the southern army or the northern army?"

Wang Fu got up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. Those mountain people are not to be feared. The local county soldiers are enough to defeat them. Your Majesty's heart should be put in the farming and mulberry. Now, Zheng Xuan and Liangzhou cattle herds are effective. , Hundreds of cattle are needed for mating, and the number of cattle in various places is also increasing, and it is not easy to mobilize troops during the autumn harvest season!"

"Zhuzi! Nonsense! Could it be that you can't fight because of the autumn harvest? Then what do you do to the people of Yangzhou?" He Xiu yelled angrily. Resistance, what can the mountain people do?", He Xiu sneered, and said: "There are more than one hundred thousand people in that mountain, mere? How can the county soldiers resist?"

"What one hundred thousand, it's just that the local officials concealed the truth!" Wang Fu said disdainfully.

"The governor of Yangzhou, Mr. Liu, is my good friend. He has always been upright! There is no falsehood!"

He Xiu called again.

The officials thought about it, looked at each other, no one spoke first, the little fat man frowned, and thought seriously, if the county soldiers are strong enough to resist Shanyue, then they don't need to call them. It's important, but if there are really [-] people and you don't send troops, it will completely destroy Yangzhou!

Wen Renxi also said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to destroy these mountain people, you don't need to rush to the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest is over, you can send troops to attack. Tens of thousands of northern troops are enough to destroy the mountain people and traitors. At this moment, you still have to use the autumn harvest." The most important thing!", Yuan Ping on the side rarely agreed with his point of view once, and He Xiu was very angry, he roared: "Autumn Harvest! What are you talking about!"

"Extremely!" A person suddenly yelled among the courtiers. Everyone saw that he was a big black man. He uttered the sound inadvertently. It was Dong Zhuo who had just entered Luoyang and pointed at Youcheng, the envoy in embroidered clothes. Seeing that it was him, everyone didn't care, he was just a small official with a few hundred shi.

He Xiu glanced at him, shook his hands for a while, and the sleeves made a gust of wind, and the courtiers around hurriedly retreated a few steps, he cupped his hands towards the emperor, and said: "If your majesty is unwilling to send troops, the old minister is willing to hold a Saber, enter Yangzhou!" After finishing speaking, he walked back directly, looking extremely displeased, the little fat man frowned and said nothing, at this moment, He Xiu suddenly stopped and came back .

Everyone was puzzled. In the confusion, he walked up to Wang Fu, kicked him on Wang Fu's leg, and kicked him to the ground. Then he snorted coldly, turned and left Going out, everyone was shocked, Wang Fu was also furious, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He watched He Xiu walk out swaggeringly, but he didn't know that among the ministers, Dong Zhuo's eyes blazed with fiery light, holding him firmly. staring at He Xiu, admiring him endlessly.

Seeing He Xiu go out, the emperor also had a cold face and said nothing.

"Your Majesty!" Qiao Xuan walked out slowly. He took over Liu Ju's position and served as a captain. However, the little fat man never called him a captain, but only called him Duke Qiao. Qiao Xuan looked at the emperor, As a Taiwei, he should be in charge of the military, but the emperor is strong, so he can only deal with the soldiers, military pay, supplies and other things in various places.

He said: "Your Majesty, why is the autumn harvest so important?"

"For food."

"Who will eat the food?"

"Min also."

"Those who cultivate for His Majesty serve the people, and those who are tortured by Shanyue are not for the people?" Qiao Xuan asked in a low voice.

Hearing the words, the little fat man stood up suddenly, looked at the officials, and shouted: "Where is the Marquis of the Southern Army?" Duan Jiong was startled, and hurried out, stepped forward and said: "The minister is here!" .

"Where is the Marquis of the Northern Army?"

Marquis Zhang Huan of the Northern Army went to Liangzhou, and the only remaining two battalions of the Northern Army in the city were commanded by Marquis Lu Zhi of the Fake Northern Army. : "The minister is here!"

The little fat man looked at the two people in front of him, looked at them for a moment, and said: "Feng Duanjiong is the general who conquers the South, commanding the [-]th Battalion of the Southern Army and the [-]rd Battalion of the Northern Army. !!", Duan Jiong's whole body trembled, he bent down abruptly, bowed, and shouted: "I accept the order!" The officials were stunned, but they couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to accept the order.

On this day, Duan Jiong was conferred the title of General Conquering the South, leading the North and South Army. A total of more than [-] elite soldiers formed the largest army during the Jianning period. The captain of the Northern Army and Duan Jiong were under the tent to listen to the order. Duan Jiong had also commanded the Northern Army to conquer the Qiang before, and the Northern Army also respected him, and the Southern Army was trained by him, so naturally there is nothing to say.

Duan Jiong also drew a lot of elites from Zhijinwu, Habayashiro, and Suwei, and used these elites to supplement the emptiness of the southern army. The southern army had twelve battalions, but there were not as many people as the northern army's three battalions. After continuous expansion, the number of this Southern Conquest Army also reached 4.

And there are many talents under the tent, many school captains Sima, such as Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, Wang Yun, Zongyuan, Dianwei, Li Gan, Cheng Pu, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Li Jue, Sun Jian, Xu Rong, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and even Dong Zhuo, the emissary who pointed at the embroidered clothes, were borrowed by Duan Jiong. The generals gathered, starting from the military marquis, Sima, and school captain, they were all brave men!

This is a rather terrifying army! !
Because of the matter of the people's settlements, there was no shortage of food, and the army rations were also quickly prepared. The ministers such as Wen Renxi were ordered by the emperor to arm the army, bows, armors, and countless weapons. 4 people gathered outside Luoyang, densely packed, like black Hong Liu, the attention of the world, Duan Jiong is extremely confident, even if there are a hundred thousand traitors, they will definitely not be able to match his invincible army!
This can be called the largest and most powerful army in the Jianning period!

The emperor ordered tens of thousands of corvees to be called, and ordered counties and counties around Yuzhang County to deliver military rations to Yuzhang County.

The little fat man did not expect that He Xiu actually rode a fast horse and rushed to Yangzhou at the age of nearly seventy! !And his action ignited the ambitions of many scholars and rangers. Everyone shouted, kill thieves for the country. Today, scholars and rangers bought tall horses, sharpened their swords, and set off for Yangzhou! ! !

The little fat man was also dumbfounded, what was he going to do? ?
Hurry up and bring Master He back to me! !
