Guan Yan, who had been lowering his head, was shocked when he heard this. He looked up and saw that it was Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor of the Civil Minister. Yuan Wei paused for a moment, glanced at Guan Yan, the military minister, inadvertently, and continued, "Guan Yan was a famous family. He was behind the veteran Huangfu Song, who pacified the northwest and killed the thief chief. This Zhang Yan rebellion was no less than Zhang Jiao's disaster! Looking inside and outside the court, Guan Yan was the only one who could take on this responsibility!"

Yuan Wei and Guan Yan were incompatible, and both of them were tacit. Now Yuan Wei suddenly jumped out and recommended Guan Yan to take charge of the battle. This made Guan Yan a little suddenly. What kind of medicine is Yuan Wei selling in his gourd?

As soon as Yuan Wei finished speaking, Huangfu Song, who was among the martial officials, had a flash of light in his eyes. He took great steps and walked to Yuan Wei and stared at Queen Yuan Wei fiercely. Huangfu Song bowed to Emperor Ling of Han and said, "Emperor, I have objections!"

When Huangfu Song stepped out, Emperor Ling of Han thought that Huangfu Song would come out to recommend his beloved disciple, so how could he think of Huangfu Song directly opposing it!

"Oh? Old General Huangfu, what are your objections? Is Guan Yan not suitable?"

"That's right!" Huangfu Song replied without hesitation: "Although Guan Yan has a young talent, he is not enough to take on this important task!"

Emperor Ling of Han frowned: "The old general, Guan Yan is your great disciple, and the Grand Tutor Yuan said just now that Guan Yan was pacified to the northwest and killed the thief chief. His merits, talents, and virtues are enough to take on this important task. Why did the old general stop him?"

In desperation, Huangfu Song was determined to stop Guan Yan from entering Jizhou, and had no time to think of any reason to answer. When he heard Emperor Ling of Han's question, Huangfu Song was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, so he had to turn his head slightly and wink at Guan Yan.

To be honest, Guan Yan really doesn’t know what to do now, but he firmly believes that as long as he does the opposite of Yuan Wei, Huangfu Song will not harm him, and it is absolutely right to follow Huangfu Song!

Guan Yan stepped out and said, "I have reported to the emperor that although I have made small contributions, I am a very small talent. I have won a great victory in the northwest. Governor Dong made great contributions. I only entrusted the emperor with great blessings to achieve several small victories. If there is any accident in this battle, my death is small, but if I miss the country's affairs, I will be able to blame for my death!"

I admit defeat, how can I tell you?

Emperor Ling of Han frowned deeply again, and he dragged his cheek with one hand and thought hard.

"Hmph!" Yuan Wei stood up slightly, closed his eyes as if he was unintentional, "A proud man is a waste of the country! If everyone does this, he will benefit himself, and the country will not be a country!"

When Emperor Ling of Han heard this, he shuddered all over. What are the most feared by the king? What he feared most is that anyone threatens his status as a king. This country belongs to the emperor, and the reason why the emperor is called the emperor is because he owns this country. If the country is not peaceful, then the emperor will not be peaceful.

Yuan Wei's words just now made Emperor Ling of Han feel heartbroken: You, Guan Yan, fought dozens of battles in the northwest, captured Bian Zhang alive and killed Han Sui, which can be considered as making great achievements in military achievements. Now that you have won the title, you are unwilling to fight for me again?

Emperor Ling of Han said with a stern face: "Guan Yan, what the Grand Tutor said is right. Now that Zhang Yan is in Hebei, Guan Qing should not refuse. Just make up. You will prepare. Three days later, the head of the army will enter Jizhou to assist Wang Fen to wipe out Zhang Yan! Retreat the court!"

"Long live my emperor!" The ministers shouted long live and slowly withdrew from the Deyang Palace.

Outside Deyang Hall, Huangfu Song, Cai Yong and Guan Yan were whispering while walking.

"Mr. Cai, teacher, which drama did you sing today?"

Huangfu Song seemed to be still depressed by what had just happened, frowned and said, "Wen De, you have not been deeply involved in the world, and I don't know the mystery of this!"

Huangfu Song patted Guan Yan on the shoulder and said, "This old man Yuan Wei wants to send you away!"

"Send me away? Why?"

Cai Yong took over: "Nephew, now the eight lieutenant in the city of Luoyang is the most powerful. If you go to Jizhou, you will naturally have to put down the position of lieutenant in the middle army!"

Guan Yan disagreed and said, "This military lieutenant is just a false position. Jian Shuo has set up close confidants in all schools to be the chief lieutenant. Except for Jian Shuo, the other seven lieutenants have no real power, so it's better not to be the military lieutenant!"

After Guan Yan finished speaking, Huangfu Song shook his head: "Wende, Jian Shuo is a mediocre! Although this move can be held by eight schools for a while, if it continues for a long time, the captains of each school will have complaints. Not to mention it, just two days ago, when Yuan Shao accepted the army, he directly killed three of Jian Shuo's confidant commanders. Even if Jian Shuo was dissatisfied, he never made any move. I dare to assert that within three months, these confidants of Jian Shuo must be expelled from each school! With Chen Deng, the subordinate of Wende, who was the mastermind of Wende, he could successfully take over the central army within a month. At this time, Yuan Wei led Wende to the army, and he must have wanted to get involved in the central army!"

When Guan Yan heard Huangfu Song's detailed explanation, he understood it in his heart and could not help but nodded deeply.

Huangfu Song took a step and continued, "Besides, Zhang Yan of the Heishan Army is not an Yi person. Although Zhang Yan is a thief, he is a talented general! His command of 100,000 elite soldiers of Heishan, who are entrenched in Jizhou with the advantage of the heaven, the place, and the tiger is invincible! If they fight, it will be a hard battle and a fierce battle! Wen De's departure is a foregone conclusion, so be careful and not careless!"

Guan Yan had already fully understood the current situation and had to hold his fists and replied: "Students understand!"

The three of them walked out of the palace quickly. After Guan Yan said goodbye to the two elders, they couldn't wait to call Xi Zhicai, and Chen Deng and the other two discussed today's affairs.

When Chen Deng heard Wan Guan Yan’s narration, he sighed with his fingers on the table: “Hey, today I will discuss the matter of seizing power with Mr. Xi. It seems that it is just a simple plot!”

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "There is nothing but the plan. Now we need to discuss the matter of destroying Zhang Yan!"

"Yeah!" Chen Deng nodded: "First, the emperor ordered the lord to lead three thousand Hu Ben to the expedition to Jizhou. However, how did the 3,000 soldiers fight with Zhang Yan and tens of thousands of elite soldiers? Therefore, the lord has many reinforcements!"

"How to lead it?"

Chen Deng replied: "The lord came to your Majesty tomorrow, saying that he was afraid that Zhang Yan would be defeated and fled, and would rebel against Zhang Ju again. Therefore, he asked Your Majesty to order Bingzhou and Youzhou to launch a large army and surround him from three sides! In this way, Zhang Yan would inevitably divide his troops to resist him, and there would be few enemy troops facing the lord!"

Guan Yan sighed, "I'm good at making plans, so I'll follow Yuan Long's words!"

Xi Zhicai dared not fall behind and said, "Zhicai also has a plan!"

"Please speak with the military advisor!"

Xi Zhicai twisted his beard under his jaw and said, "Although Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, is known as the "Eight Chefs", he is actually a mediocre person! Xi is worried about the danger of his lord restoring Liangzhou!"
