Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1116: Strong Generals and Eunuchs

In the past, all matters related to the court were always controlled by layers of control, and it was difficult for relevant news to spread to the people. At most, some families and organizations with a large number of people and connections could learn the inside story.

But now, with the collapse of the surrounding order, even the central court has moved, and after Luoyang was sacked by Shi Le's Zhao army, the decision-making level of the New Han Dynasty is showing a faint trend of splitting, with one south and one north, one east and one west. One in Guanzhong and one in Jiangzuo, two imperial courts appeared.

In the local area, there are dragons and snakes, and there are many powerful people, each with their own divisions. It is difficult to convey the decrees of the imperial court, let alone those scattered news?

As a result, news about the battle between the Xuanjia Army and Guanzhong officers and soldiers spread like wildfire, and then the news that Guanzhong issued an order to capture the general surnamed Zhang and send it to Youzhou also spread.

In many teahouses and taverns in the North, there is also a storyteller who compiled the story into a script and preached it in public.

In the past, such things would have been a no-brainer, but now that there is no restriction from the court, and the actual rulers in various places intentionally want to reduce the authority of the court and make the people submit, and are secretly adding fuel to the flames, it is even more fueled. The trend.

At this moment, in the tavern in Nazhangwu County, there was a storyteller telling how the two kings were afraid and panicked after learning about the news from the front line, and then how they summoned the ministers, and finally became angry and seized the Zhang family minister.

The storyteller's words were really vivid, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Even when the ministers were confronting each other, he could clearly explain the expressions of which ministers and nine ministers, which made people marvel.

Later, some loyal ministers came out to dissuade them, and finally the two kings realized that "Zhang Shangshu" was a loyal minister serving the country and the people, so they let him go. However, in the end, under pressure, they tied up the Zhang family generals and sent them away. Turn over to the north.

"It's really embarrassing. The royal family had to bow their heads in front of the frontier generals. They even tied up their own generals and sent them over to make amends. It's really unheard of. The two kings are really as timid as mice. !”

"How else can we say that General Zhengbei is a genius? As we are close to Youzhou, we should know that in the past few years, the people of Youzhou have become more and more prosperous, and many people who cannot live in Jizhou After the refugees went there, they all had their own land, and they all cultivated it, and some of them made a living for hundreds of families. Now, the Xuanjia Army has emerged from the sky, and they are invincible. Such a grand occasion, I am afraid that Xuanwu's rebirth will be nothing more than this. Bar!"

"Be careful what you say, this is too taboo!"

"Why are you still thinking so much? Logically speaking, our place is still the land of the imperial court, commanded by the King of Hejian. But that king was defeated by the Zhao army and doesn't know where he is. Why should he be afraid? What if? In the worst case scenario, I don’t care about anything else and just run north, will they still dare to go to Youzhou to arrest people?”

……

Listening to the storyteller's words, the onlookers in the tavern seemed to be talking uncontrollably, and they were talking about it. In the past, many of these words, not to mention said in public, or even mentioned in private, would have made people scared.

But looking at them now, they don't care at all.

"I didn't expect that the authority of the imperial court would be reduced to this."

In the corner of the tavern, there were two people sitting at the table, eating with their heads down. The taller one couldn't help but sigh.

The two men were wrapped tightly, and there were two bamboo hats on the table. They lowered their heads to prevent others from seeing their faces.One of them is tall and looks very majestic, the other looks thin and not too young, but has a fair face and no beard.

The man who spoke with emotion was the tall and majestic man. He lowered his head, drank a glass of wine after speaking, then smacked his lips and said, "The drinks here are pretty good."

"Most of the drinks here are luckily brought from Youzhou. Of course they taste extraordinary. The general sent a lot of good things back then, including fine wines. Alas..." The thin old man lowered his voice and spoke in a high pitched voice. Fine, mixed with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

The powerful man said: "I see, the things in Youzhou are good. There is also a saying in Liangzhou. Daijun paper, Dai porcelain, and many other things from the Western Han Dynasty are quite popular, but I have never known that Youzhou even has drinks. It’s all so exciting!”

The thin old man whispered: "If General Beigong is interested, you might as well stay in Youzhou and assist the general. With your ability, how can you compare with Wei Xiong and Yang Yuan? You can also gallop on the battlefield and be invincible! What a pleasure!"

"The words you always say are so tempting!" The mighty man looked yearning, but in the end he frowned and said, "However, I haven't gone back to resume my life yet, so it's really not authentic enough. I'll talk about other things after I send you to the place. .”

While they were talking here, they heard another storyteller on the other side talking about another thing.

"This is not the first time that prisoners have been sent north to Youzhou. Previously, there was the villain Zhao Ran, who sought glory from his master, was shameless, and was a domestic slave of several surnames. In the end, he was captured by Chief Hu Shile himself, tied up, and paraded through the streets. After being shown to the public, he was sent to Youzhou. I heard that he was imprisoned in a water prison, and life was worse than death! This time, General Zhang returned to the army. At its root, there is a thread inside, and the right way is..."

Then, the storyteller used this as an entry point to tell the story of Chen Zhi's early years. He was so heroic as a young man, and the audience applauded.

But the two people in the corner fell silent.

Especially the thin old man, when he heard Zhao Ran's name, his eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth, and looked like he wanted to eat his meat. The man opposite him was frightened, and he quickly comforted him: "The traitor is already here." Being escorted to Youzhou, life is worse than death. You will be able to see him soon after you grow old! At that time, as your identity, General Zhengbei will have some respect. If you want to make Zhao Ran pay for his life, isn't it? Just one sentence?"

"Killing him directly will give him an advantage!" The thin old man took a few breaths, finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Otherwise, General Chen is a loyal minister! Lord! No one remembers the disaster, but General Chen did not hesitate to send troops to the Huns to destroy the country for revenge! He also sent an order to the world to capture all the enemies. Our Lord's last arrangement was worthy of it! Now, only those three traitors are missing. , Fortunately, there is already a conflict over in Bingzhou, and the time is not far away!"

It turned out that these two people were Bei Gongchun and Mo Anjie who had escaped from Zhao Ran before!

The two of them, one was the general who supported the emperor in his charge, and the other was the eunuch who had been with the emperor since childhood. The former was brave and the latter was loyal. Since the emperor was in trouble, the two of them had disappeared, but for some reason they appeared here together.

"Don't worry, General Chen is so capable, it will only be a matter of time before we capture those three!" Bei Gongchun, the hero of Wuhan, said again.

Mo Anjie nodded heavily and said bitterly: "Yes, I have to see them die with my own eyes! Only then can I feel at ease!"
