Section 73: Northwest Beacon
No one is a fool. If this posture is just a "female show", then there will be no war.
However, since these two people wanted to settle things, everyone would just do anything.
Cao Cao picked up the wine glass and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Come on, let's give you a cup to the general!"
When everyone heard this, they raised their glasses to toast He Jin.
The servant came up and cleaned up the table and the scattered debris, and everyone sat down.
He Jin stroked the steel beard under his jaw and said, "Today, everyone was recruited because there was a change in the northwest. Zhongying just happened to be familiar with the situation in the northwest, so he discussed this matter today."
Dong Zhuo frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Are there any abnormal movements in the northwest foreign races?"
Although Dong Zhuo is ambitious, he is still very tough in his attitude towards foreign ethnic groups.
He Jin nodded and said, "Just just now, an envoy came to report that the Hu people in Huangzhong Beigong Boyu and Xianling Qiang were in charge of the border. Han Sui became the commander and attacked and killed the Qiang-guard Ling Zheng and the prefect of Jincheng Chen Yi."
Guan Yan's heart lit up and he said to himself: I finally believe it!
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Yuan Shao stood up and said, "I don't know what the general wants to do?"
He Jin glanced at everyone and said, "I will listen to your wishes!"
Cao Cao stood up angrily and said, "The foreign races on the frontier have always been unfair. This time, when our Han Dynasty was in chaos, he raised an army and rebelled. It was very abominable. Cao thought that a large army should be launched to pacify him!"
"Yes!" Dong Zhuo also slapped the table: "Please send troops to the general!"
After listening to the opinions of the two people, He Jin looked at Yuan Shao and Guan Yan who did not speak and asked, "What do you think?"
"Shao's proposal!" Yuan Shao bowed and replied.
Guan Yan looked at He Jin and said, "If I am not the same clan, my heart will be different! Yan also agreed, but this battle should kill the chicken to warn the monkey and kill the grass to eliminate the roots, so that the frontier can be replaced for a long time peace!"
Guan Yan's words smelled a little bloody. He Jin frowned and said, "Wen De's words are too extreme. If all the slaughter is gone, who will dare to accept my great man in the future?"
Guan Yan was about to continue to argue, but suddenly someone gently pulled down his sleeve. Guan Yan turned his head and saw Cao Cao shook his head slightly at him behind him.
Guan Yan looked at He Jin's dissatisfaction, thought for a while, then folded his fists and replied, "What the General said is very true, Yan was negligent."
He Jin then Zhan Yan said, "Well, since you all agree to send troops, I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow and ask for troops to go to war. But this chief general, can anyone choose you?"
Dong Zhuo stood up first: "The northwest is very familiar with it. Please order me to fight!"
Guan Yan panicked and thought to himself: How could I get this fat man Dong get away with the opportunity I finally got?
Thinking of this, Guan Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The land of Hedong is also a key place. Lord Dong is very responsible and may not be able to escape. There is a recommended person from the lower official."
He Jin felt that Guan Yan’s words were reasonable and asked, “Who is Wende recommended?”
"My teacher Huang Fu Song!" Guan Yan clasped his fists and said, "The master of the family is not to avoid relatives. The master of the family is Huang Fu Song defeated the Yellow Turbans and governed Jizhou. He has made great contributions. Now he is in his home. Why don't the general send his family to the expedition?"
He Jin was moved and nodded repeatedly.
But Dong Zhuo was anxious and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Huangfu Song was old and in a state of strength, it was not easy to fight in other places in the northwest!"
He Jin's swaying personality hindered his decision again. He Jin felt that what both of them were right, so he quickly turned his eyes to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao behind him and asked, "What do you think?"
Yuan Shao had originally wanted to provoke conflicts between He Jin and the forces outside the party members. Guan Yan's opinion was nothing more than to allow Huangfu Song to recruit himself when he went to war, which in turn intensified the conflicts between Huangfu Song and He Jin. Yuan Shao was willing to help Guan Yan "with one arm" in this regard.
Yuan Shao stepped forward and walked: "Shao thought Huangfu chariot could take on this responsibility!"
Cao Cao thought about experience and thought Huangfu Song was more suitable, so he clasped his fists and said, "Cao also thought that the chariot and cavalry generals were more suitable."
Three to one, the balance in He Jin's heart also had a tendency. He Jin ignored Dong Zhuo's angry face and said in a deep voice: "Then let's just say that!"
In the main hall of the Han Palace, Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong sat upright on the dragon throne, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong stood on both sides with his hands hanging down. His Highness and Minister were divided into two rows of civil and military affairs, and were arranged in the hall.
Liu Hong, with a sallow complexion, asked indifferently: "Can you have this report from all the families?"
He Jin, who was ranked first in the military lineup, walked out of the queue and came to the center of the hall and said, "I have a memorial to you!"
"Tell me." Emperor Ling closed his eyes slightly and said softly.
"Report to Your Majesty, come to the northwest to report: Beigong Boyu, a Hu native in Huangzhong, and Xianling Qiang were in charge of the border gate. Han Sui was the commander and attacked and killed Ling Zheng, a captain of the Qiang Guard, and Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng!"
After He Jin said this, a stone fell into the hall like a calm lake, and the ministers in the court immediately started talking to each other.
Zhang Rang looked at the Ling Emperor beside him and frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said loudly: "The court is not allowed to make noise!"
The hall gradually became quiet. Emperor Ling glanced at everyone, then looked at He Jin and said, "Can the General have any countermeasures?"
He Jin bowed and replied, "I plan to fight 50,000 troops to suppress the rebels!"
After saying that, a person walked out of the civil servants and bowed to Emperor Ling and said, "I have any objections!"
"Oh?!" Emperor Ling looked at the man and asked, "What is the Censor's opinion?"
This censor is Kong Rong, the 20th generation grandson of Confucius. Kong Rong replied: "A gentleman should not fight against the enemy's soldiers, and the barbarians and foreign races are just a grudge. If you use this big move, it would be an unwise move!"
"What's the rule of law in Wenju?" The Ling Emperor showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
Kong Rong twisted his beard and thought for a while before replying: "With Rong's opinion, we should send envoys to move them with emotion and reason. If he listens, it would be good. If he doesn't listen, it would be not too late to send a large army to conquer!"
"Pediatric!" Emperor Ling slapped the dragon throne and pointed at Kong Rong and cursed angrily: "Barish thieves seize cities, kill Han officials, and kill the people. Do I still need to tell them benevolence and righteousness?"
When Kong Rong was furious when he saw the emperor, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am guilty, I am guilty!"
Emperor Ling looked at Kong Rong and was too lazy to get angry with him. Emperor Ling looked at He Jin and said, "Is there a leader in general?"
He Jin glanced at Kong Rong and said, "I recommend Huangfu Song, the left cavalry general!"
"Huangfu Song!" Emperor Ling murmured, still a little reluctant, because he had just called him back because he saw Huangfu Song's great achievements. Now he wants to release the military power?
When Emperor Ling hesitated, another person came out of the civil servant. When He Jin saw that it was the Grand Marshal Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei bowed and said, "I will discuss it!"
Immediately afterwards, a few of He Jin and Yuan Wei's confidants walked out and bowed and said, "I will discuss with you!"
