"Your majesty, this Yan Zheng has some ridiculous conditions, how detestable. However, Zhang Bao had more than two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers under him. Since they had already surrendered, they could not kill them. Since we can't kill them and can't release them, and Yang Lin's method is still effective, it's better to give them a place to cultivate their crops so that they don't cause any more trouble. "
Although he clearly knew that it was Yang Lin's idea, Zhang Rong still could not say it out loud, and could only sigh in his heart, This Yang Lin was truly greedy. However, although these two hundred and fifty thousand xanthopanax s had declared their surrender, they still had not put down their weapons.
"You can't start with this. Yan Zheng had done a lot to kill Zhang Bao, so it was fine if they did not pursue the matter. If he still dares to state conditions, then we shall order Yang Lin to eliminate him. "
He Jin took Yan Zheng's letter. After reading it, his face was also filled with anger. A random bandit dared to make conditions with the imperial government. Where was the prestige he had for the imperial government? If the imperial court agreed, wouldn't the bandits follow suit?
"If it was Great General He, how should I deal with these soldiers?"
Zhang Jun laughed coldly and asked He Jin. He Jin was only angry for a moment, and did not even consider how to place the captives. The court had always killed all the prisoners and had never cared so much. It was because of the appearance of Yang Lin that the problem of placing the captives had arisen.
"Let Yang Lin handle it. Jizhou is so big, how can we not place 250,000 prisoners in there? "
"No way!"
Without waiting for He Jin to finish speaking, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong waved his hand and interrupted him. The emperor had never been so decisive in opposing him. He raised his head and coincidentally saw the stern eyes of the Hanling Emperor, and couldn't help but shiver as he heard Liu Hong's cold voice.
"Jizhou is too close to the Luoyang. As of now, the Upper Valley County and the Dai County have a small population and are mostly fresh inferior s. Furthermore, they are often attacked by the fresh inferior s of Mo Bei, so I order them to go to the Upper Valley County s and Dai County s to open up their fields, and let them fight against the fresh inferior s. " The angel from the imperial government read out the order to pardon Yan Zheng, Gao Sheng, Ren Zhi, Qian Lin and the others. He then appointed Yan Zheng, Gao Shen as the lieutenant of the Upper Valley County, and allowed Qian Lin and the others to become the leader of the Dai County.
Hanling Emperor's order was much better than what Yang Lin had expected, causing Yang Lin to be extremely happy. For a long time, Yang Lin's yellow cloth army captive had been settled in the eastern and central parts of the Youzhou, and now, they finally had the chance to settle down in the main hall.
The Upper Valley County and the Dai County were located in the western part of the Youzhou. Amongst them, Upper Valley County had eight counties, a population of only five ten thousand people, and eleven of them had fallen, with a population of only one hundred and twenty thousand. fresh inferior was the majority of the two counties, and a large piece of land became the fresh inferior's pasture.
It should be said that the arrangement of the Hanling Emperor s was very strategic. With these yellow cloth army captive s, no matter if it was the Upper Valley County or the Dai County, the Han people would occupy the vast majority. This would greatly weaken the power of the fresh inferior and benefit the stability of the border area.
However, the second decree of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong made Yang Lin feel extremely depressed. Without any warning, he ordered Yang Lin to go to the capital immediately. Not only did he not explain the reason, he even pressed for time, causing Yang Lin to be unable to make heads or tails of it.
The one who came to the Jizhou this time to announce the news was a Young Eunuch. The Song Dian who came to the Jizhou in the past to announce the results was not here yet, maybe he was afraid that Yang Lin would ask him something, so she decided to avoid coming here. As the face of an imperial angel, Yang Lin didn't have any expression at all. After the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict finished reading it, Yang Lin sent the imperial angel away mediocre.
On the night of sending off the Eunuch with the decree, Yang Lin summoned the main general and army advisors to his Big Account. On the surface, it looked like they were discussing about entering the capital, but in reality, Zhou Yong wanted the army advisors to analyze what was wrong with Hanling Emperor's mental state and wanted him to go to Luoyang.
"Lord General, it is a joyous event that Zhang Bao was killed and his entire xanthopanax exterminated. When the Emperor summoned his lordship into the capital, he definitely wants to make it clear to the world that he does not want to do so, and may even bestow upon him a reward. " Just as Militaries was thinking, Xin Ping suddenly stood up and said. Actually, everyone could imagine that this was probably the most honorable reason behind Hanling Emperor recruiting Yang Lin to the capital.
At this moment, Kuai Liang stood up, bowed towards Yang Lin, and said: "Lord General, from what I know, Lord General has not seen the Emperor and the court courtier since the start of the army. This time, the Emperor has recruited a Lord General to the capital, so he might want to personally inspect the intentions of the Lord General. "
Yang Lin nodded his head, feeling that what Kuai Liang said made more sense. How could the emperor not have seen him with a large army guarding a region? How could he not be worried? There was a saying: hearing is deceptive, seeing is believing. Sooner or later, he would definitely want Yang Lin to meet him.
Several strategists were talking about this and that, and they were talking about it with similar intentions. Yang Lin knew clearly in his heart that under these circumstances, no one would dare to say anything outrageous. Zhang Banxian, who usually liked to talk, did not say a word, and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
"Alright, it's already late. Let's stop here for today."
Yang Lin guessed that they would not be able to say anything new and thus ended today's discussion. Everyone left their seats, leaving only the Zhang Banxian behind. Yang Lin knew that the Zhang Banxian had something important to say, so he quietly waited.
"Lord General, as the saying goes, all birds fly, good bows hide, cunning rabbits die, dogs cook! It could be said that the odds were against Lord General going to Luoyang. First of all, he would definitely be removed from Jizhou Thorn History and would be assigned a very high grade post. Lord General's cavalry would soon be disbanded, and his generals and strategists would be dispersed throughout the country. A few months later, the Minister of the Court will attack the Lord General and find any random excuse, such as wantonly taking in prisoners, etc.
The Zhang Banxian must have thought about it for a long time, and was extremely anxious. After everyone left, she hurriedly started talking. He had already lost her usual demeanor as a Half Immortal. As he spoke, he gestured with her hand.
Yang Lin knew a lot more about the historical events than the Zhang Banxian, so he naturally knew of his own situation. Each and every one of those emperors could afford to have such outstanding generals, especially those emperors of the Darkhan Dynasty.
Even if it was the Hanling Emperor, he would have to wait until the xanthopanax was annihilated before he could disperse the armies of the various regions and remove the authority of the great generals. Even before he died, he did not forget to remove Dong Zhuo's military power. Dong Zhuo then tried to find excuses. Refusing to hand over the military power, waiting until the Hanling Emperor died, refusing to hand over the military power.
Thinking about it, Yang Lin also felt a bit of chill, and could not help but ask: "Then let's find an excuse to not go, how about it?"
"Lord General, what excuse can I give you to not go to Luoyang? If the Lord General were to say that he was ill, then no one would believe him. Furthermore, it would freeze the hearts of the generals and strategists. The only thing that can make the Lord General unable to leave the Jizhou is war, but right now there is no war either. " Zhang Banxian spread out her hands and said helplessly.
"Yes, war." Saying that, Yang Lin couldn't help but stand up. He looked at Zhang Banxian and started laughing strangely: "Mr. Zhang, although there are no wars, but we can create wars!"
Zhang Banxian's eyes suddenly lit up. He pondered for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Yang Lin: "Lord General is clear, where can we cause a war?"
Yang Lin laughed, and pointed at Zhang Banxian's head: "How could you forget, didn't our Wasteland soldier send over many urgent documents? The fresh inferior and Urushion were constantly harassing the Youzhou, but the Youzhou had always been talking with the fresh inferior and the Urushion, so it did not cause too much of a war. If we teach them a lesson when they come back for assault again, it will definitely cause them to take revenge. Then, wouldn't there be a war in Youzhou? "
"Oh, I forgot." Zhang Banxian also stood up and walked a few steps inside the tent, then said to Yang Lin: "Lord General, I suggest that you really go to Luoyang now and see the emperor. Otherwise, he'll always be suspicious of you. On your way to Luoyang, we will have Qin Ming and Qin Liang brothers teach fresh inferior a lesson and help vent our anger. By the time you arrive at Luoyang, Youzhou will have already started fighting with all her might. "
"I'll do it."
Three days later, after Yang Lin had arranged everything, he brought Guan Yu,, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Xu Zhu and the other high ranking officers, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and the other strategists to the Luoyang.
Yang Lin had his own reasons for choosing these generals. Among the generals under his command, there were his brothers, his family and the xanthopanax's commanders. These people only knew of Yang Lin, not the existence of the imperial government. However, the advisors were different. Most of them had their hearts set on the imperial government and only brought the Liaodong cavalry in front of the temporary residence. Therefore, Zhou Yong only brought Xin Ping and Xin Pi over to let them feel the coldness of the imperial court, the coldness of the imperial government.
As expected, after Generals, who had accomplished a great deed for the imperial government, arrived at Luoyang, no one came out to welcome them. When they walked into the Luoyang City, other than the fact that their burly bodies attracted the attention of a few passersby, no one gave them a second glance.
None of them came to the Luoyang, and after asking a few people, they finally found an inn to stay at. These Generals s rushed to the Luoyang in high spirits, hoping to enjoy the limitless scenery. Who would have thought that it would be so cold and quiet, the happiness instantly disappeared by quite a bit.
That night, Yang Lin told Xin Ping to look for the Chief Eunuch Zhang and Xin Pi to look for the Grand General Ho Jin. Of course, they had brought a lot of money with them, so they should be received by He Jin and Zhang Qian, the two leaders. In the end they brought back the same news, which was to have Yang Lin wait in the tavern for the Emperor's summons.
For the next three days, no one came to the inn where Yang Lin and the rest were staying. A few generals had nothing better to do since they had nothing to do. Only Xin Ping and Xin Pi would have the chance to travel in the city every day, as they were civil servants.
Only on the fourth day did a eunuch arrive, allowing Yang Lin to attend the assembly tomorrow. According to Xin Ping and Xin Pi who had returned, they had spent a great deal of effort to get the Emperor's permission.
Hanling Emperor Liu Hong had not held a court meeting for a long time, so in order to reward the person who helped calm the situation, he agreed to hold a court meeting.
