The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 118 Why Don't You Take on This Important Responsibility

Seeing that Liu Hong's expression was a little shaken.

Lu Zhi thought something was wrong.

He knows Liu Hong better.

It can be said that he is a fatuous, incompetent, unambitious, pursuit of enjoyment, and a very strange emperor.

Since Liu Hong took the throne, he hasn't done a few good things.

You are the emperor who ignores the government and the suffering of the people.

Only the degree of obsession with money has reached an outrageous level.

He only thinks about making money, and after so many years in power, the treasury is empty every year.

Even if you don't crusade against thieves, you will still lose money all the year round.

Why do all the thieves in the world rise up together, don't you have a number in your heart?
Not to mention the well-known selling of officials and nobles.

Just rely on a land pumping mu tax.

It is a simple and brutal method of accumulating money where every family has an acre of land and pay ten dollars.

How much public outrage did it cause?
But Liu Hong fell into Qian's eyes, and he still ignored him and ordered to "rob money".

People all over the world follow the thief one after another, isn't it forced by him?

But as a courtier, Lu Zhi naturally dare not say these words.

It is rare that the Yellow Turban Uprising made Liu Hong sober, and now he must be persuaded again.

So that Huangfusong can make meritorious deeds and be reused again.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi said again:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the method of recruiting security is not suitable for the time being.

If recruiting security today, recruiting security tomorrow, recruiting security this time, recruiting security that one.

Where is the majesty of the imperial court?

The thieves all over the world will only think that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied, a paper tiger.

At that time, everyone dares to rebel.

At worst, just wait for the recruitment. Anyway, the price of rebellion is so low.

Ministers and others do not object to Zhaoan.

But we can't recruit security after the conquest, we have to show our tough attitude.

Let the thieves all over the world understand that rebellion doesn't just happen if they want to.

As long as you dare to rebel, you must be prepared to bear our endless wrath. "

He looked around at the ministers who opposed sending troops:

"If recruited, the black mountain bandits will have a legal identity and develop faster.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to conquer them again at that time. I don't think this is your original intention to let them grow. "

Some of Lu Zhi's friends seconded his proposal one after another.

"If you can get recruited so easily, the majesty of the imperial court will be damaged, and you will no longer be able to convince everyone in the world.

This is absolutely impossible, please think twice, Your Majesty. "

"We must kill chickens to scare monkeys to raise our army's prestige and deter all thieves in the world..."

Liu Hong felt that what Lu Zhi and others said was very reasonable.

He also wanted to conquer the bandits and ruthlessly kill the bandits.

In order to avoid someone rebelling from time to time, provoking the majesty of his emperor.

Seeking thieves is very necessary in his opinion.

It's just that he is like an iron rooster, he is unwilling to spend the money and food in the treasury to conquer Zhang Yan.

It is absolutely unacceptable to use his money if he wants his life.

After Lu Zhi speculated, he saw Liu Hong's thoughts.

Then the channel:
"If your majesty is worried about the deficit in the treasury and the lack of troops in the court, you will be unable to conquer.

You can ask Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou counties and counties to pay food and grass to assist the bandit hunting troops.

Then recruit soldiers from many counties, recruit soldiers and bravery, train soldiers, and order weapons.

Gathering Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou is enough to fight against thieves.

If it is really impossible to suppress, it will not be too late to recruit security.

Big sticks and sweet dates can not only show the position of our imperial court, but also let the people of the world understand that your majesty is a wise king who is kind and powerful..."

Lu Zhi earnestly argued and argued hard.

To put it bluntly, those important ministers who advocated the law of recruiting security finally kept silent and stopped arguing with him.

Lu Zhi's famous works at home and abroad are regarded as Confucianism, a model of scholars, and a leader of the country is by no means a vain name.

Everyone was finally convinced by him.

And what Lu Zhi said was exactly what Liu Hong wanted.

Collect the forces of Jizhou, Bingzhou and Yanzhou to fight against the thieves, and let them send troops, food and money.

In this way, even if he has to pay, he can pay a lot less, and he can kill the thieves.

If the conquest is successful, it will reflect the military power of the imperial court. If the conquest is unsuccessful, it will also deter the bandits and show the imperial court's aura through recruiting security.

Better than doing nothing and losing all dignity.

After thinking about it, it's not a loss anyway.

Liu Hong now has a calculation.

He asked all the civil and military officials present:

"What Lu Shangshu said is true.

Who do you Aiqing think can take on this important task and lead the army to fight against the thieves? "

Who leads the army to hunt down the thieves?
The civil and military officials present here looked around to find a suitable leader.

Half an hour passed.

None were suitable candidates.

There are so many thieves and bandits that they cannot be competent unless they have rich experience in leading the army.

Three famous generals in the late Han Dynasty.

Huangfusong was removed from his post and questioned.

Zhu Jun lost his mother and left his job to go home to observe the funeral.

Lu Zhi was imprisoned for his previous conquest of the Yellow Turban Bandits. He did not speak up, and everyone could only look at him, wanting to see what he would care about.

Lu Zhi glanced at the crowd and said to Liu Hong:
"I think Huangfu Yi can really take on this important task and lead the army to hunt down the thieves."

Huang Fusong?
I heard that Lu Zhi nominated Huang Fusong.

Both Liu Hong and Baiguan were stunned for a moment.

Huangfusong had just quelled the rebellion and was dismissed for questioning. Now Lu Zhi recommended him again.

Let a person who begs the thief to beg the thief?

This is not only a self-contradictory question, but a slap in the face of Liu Hong himself.

Can a guilty person take on this important task?
Liu Hong obviously thought of this question too.

His face was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Do you think there is anyone else who can take on this important task and lead the army to hunt down the thieves?"

Some of the people present have reached a tacit agreement with Lu Zhi, so naturally there will be no chaos at this time.

The rest of the civil and military officials, some of them had a heart for Huangfusong and did not speak.

Some of them didn't fight with Huangfusong.

But I also understand that there is no one more suitable than him.

He Jin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a broad face, did not speak when he saw everyone.

Looking at Lu Zhi, he asked loudly:

"Lu Shangshu is familiar with the art of war and tried his best to persuade His Majesty to attack Zhang Yan. Why don't you take on this important task and lead the army to hunt down the thieves?"

Lu Zhi smiled and said:

"My husband's ambition is to rule the country, and he hopes to make the whole world have a feast, and he only takes the battlefield to die for the country, so why return the corpse wrapped in horse leather.

For His Majesty's concern, Zhiben dare not resign.

However, Huangfu Yizhen's remarkable achievements in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Uprising are well known all over the world.

His ability to lead the army can beat me a lot, which is not the same.

It is a fact that Huangfu Yizhen's rebellion against Bianzhang and Han Sui's rebellion was not good.

However, if His Majesty does not remember his previous achievements because of one defeat, it will chill the hearts of the people in the world.

Now is the time for employing people, why not give him a chance to make meritorious deeds?

To show the greatness of the emperor's grace, the grace of the king..."

A famous Confucianist at home is a famous Confucian at home.

Make sense.

While interceding for Huangfusong, he could also comfortably flatter Liu Hong.

If it was in the past, Lu Zhi would definitely not go against his will so much.

Talking nonsense without conscience.

He really went all out for Huangfusong.

He didn't hesitate to discount himself, and tried his best to please and praise Liu Hong.

really.

After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Liu Hong was immediately delighted.

Those civil and military officials whose hearts were devoted to Huangfusong, watched their words and demeanor.

They all agreed.

It is rare to see the unity of opinion.

Liu Hong immediately issued an order.

He ordered Huangfusong to still take the post of general on the left chariot, and led the army and horses to go to Montenegro to hunt for thieves.

The prefectures and counties of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou all donated grain, grass, weapons and armor to assist Huangfusong's army in hunting down thieves.

Except for the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, Huangfusong independently recruited the soldiers from the county and recruited the bravery of the township for the rest of the soldiers.

Just in response to what Lu Zhi said, Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou were gathered to fight against thieves.

Save his pockets.

Huangfusong was reactivated.

I am deeply grateful to Lu Zhi and others.

Then he led a group of soldiers and horses out of Luoyang City and marched straight towards Taihang Mountain.
