    When she learned the news that Hua Xiong had been killed, Hu Zhen was pruning flowers.  Although he is a military commander, he loves taking care of these flowers and plants most.  When he heard that Hua Xiong had died in battle, Hu Zhen's hands trembled slightly, and then he tightened his grip on the scissors and continued his artistic creation.  The soldiers who came to report the news couldn't help but admire in their hearts, this is the style of a general!

    When everyone left, Hu Zhen was the only one left in the flower hall, and he couldn't help but laugh.  Have a good death!  It¡¯s not in vain that I put so much effort into teasing and motivating you yesterday, and then I succeeded in teasing you into fighting!

    The main reason why Hu Zhen couldn't wait to encourage Hua Xiong to go out and die in battle was because he was deceived by Liao Hua last time. He really thought that a large group of troops was coming. This not only delayed the opportunity to fight, but also left Zhao Cen isolated and helpless, and eventually died in the battle.  Hu Zhen had been worried that Hua Xiong would achieve greater military exploits and take his place. Now he was finally relieved. It was Li Su's turn next.  As long as this person is dealt with, the memorial he writes to Luoyang can be whatever he wants.

    While Hu Zhen was making plans, the guard suddenly knocked on the doorframe and loudly reported: "General, Li Su is here to visit!"

    Hu Zhen frowned slightly, Li Su?  What is he here for?  Could it be that he was questioning his order to let Hua Xiong go into battle? However, it was Hua Xiong who applied for it on his own initiative!  Now that there is no evidence, he can say that Hua Xiong violated his orders and left the country rashly!

    Thinking of this, Hu Zhen felt certain in his heart and said with a smile: "Go and take him to the middle hall. I will change clothes and meet him again."

    The soldier agreed and left immediately.  Hu Zhen then went to the inner room and waited for a long time before setting up his crutches and limping into the middle hall.

    The two of them greeted each other, and Hu Zhen asked with a smile: "General Li, why did you want to come to me? I haven't recovered from my injury, so you have to worry about the city defense!"

    Li Su hurriedly saluted again. Seeing that there was no one around him, he suddenly fell to the ground and said, "General, the final decision depends on your orders. I hope you can give me a way to survive!"

    Hu Zhen smiled coldly and whispered: "General Li, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly!"

    But Li Su kowtowed vigorously: "General, I, Li Su, have sincerely surrendered to you, and I hope the general will accept it. The night before, the general commanded decisively and broke through Sun Jian's camp, seizing countless people. There were more than 3,000 prisoners alone. It's a pity.  Hua Xiong was arrogant and weak. He disobeyed the general's orders and withdrew his troops without authorization, which resulted in General Zhao Cen's heroic death. Today, Hua Xiong broke through the general's obstruction and led the army into battle, and finally died! If the general had not personally led the charge and suffered several wounds,  Sishui Pass was almost taken advantage of by thieves from Guandong!"

    While listening, Hu Zhen smiled and stroked his beard, and whispered: "This seems to be the case, but do you think the Prime Minister will believe it?"

    "Of course!" Li Su said in a deep voice: "The general and several others have already discussed it and jointly signed a document. I hope the general will submit it to the prime minister."

    As Li Su spoke, he took out a silk book from his arms and handed it tremblingly to Hu Zhen's hand.  Hu Zhen opened it and saw that what Li Su had just said was written on it. The whole article was full of praise for Hu Zhen's bravery and contempt for Hua Xiong's recklessness.

    Hu Zhen nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Li Su, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."

    Seeing Hu Zhen calling him by his first name, Li Su was not angry but happy. Knowing that the other party accepted him, he quickly stood up and bowed solemnly to Hu Zhen.

    Hu Zhen said with a smile: "No need to be polite, sit down! I have been thinking about something during this time, and I am worried that no one can help me with the details. You are here at the right time. Do you think I should ask the court for help?"

    "Of course we are asking for help!" Li Su immediately said in a deep voice: "Not only must we publicly ask for help from the imperial court, but we must also say good things to these Kwantung bandits and strengthen their military strength! In this way, we can not only explain the Hua Xiong War"  Death can also highlight the general's ability - even with such a fierce enemy, Sishui Pass is still under your firm control!"

    "Excellent!" Hu Zhen nodded repeatedly, "I need your help, it's really like a tiger with even more wings!"

    So Hu Zhen immediately wrote an emergency document and sent it to Luoyang together with the memorials from Li Su and others.

    Dong Zhuo was discussing matters in the court at this time. After receiving the urgent document from Hu Zhen, he immediately asked the emperor to report it and led an army to attack Yuan Shao and other traitors.  Emperor Xian is now just Dong Zhuo's puppet. Wherever he dares to object, he immediately agrees.

    The ministers felt sad. If Dong Zhuo succeeds in his crusade against the Allies, his arrogance will become even more arrogant, and no one will be able to contain him anymore!

    Zheng Tai, the imperial censor, gritted his teeth, strode out, saluted Dong Zhuo, and said in a deep voice: "Success or failure depends on how much kindness you have, and has little to do with force. As long as the prime minister keeps calm, the princes of Guandong will disperse on their own.  go!"Seeing that he was openly opposing him, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "If you say so, the army will be of little use." As he said this, Dong Zhuo weighed a jade ax, ready to throw it at any time.  come over.

    Zheng Tai quickly explained: "Forgive me, Prime Minister, I didn't mean that, but the Kwantung rebels are not qualified for you, Prime Minister, to mobilize the army. Now the Kwantung rebels have ten major disadvantages. As long as we suppress them, then they  You will definitely lose yourself!"

    Seeing that Dong Zhuo was interested, the officials also stretched their necks to wait for his explanation. Zheng Tai coughed lightly and said loudly:

    "Although Guandong seems to have a lot of people now, and the states and counties are adjacent, the mobilization is very impressive. However, since Guangwu, the hinterland of the Central Plains has never experienced war, and the people have long forgotten how to fight. Zhongni once said: 'If you don't teach  Civil war means abandoning it, so although the number of people in Kanto is large, they are just a mob. This is their first disadvantage;

    ??Looking at Minggong's side, it is entrenched in Guanxi and connected to Shangdang, Taiyuan, Feng Yi, Fufeng, and Anding in the north.  Since the establishment of states and counties, they have been fighting against the barbarians.  Even women can use bows, arrows and halberds, women are like this, let alone their husbands!  With this tiger and wolf division, how can the people of Kanto who forget the war be able to resist? This is the second disadvantage of the Kanto rebels;

    Duke Ming was born in Xizhou. He has fought for the country since he was a child and has a deep understanding of military strategy.  He charged into battle many times, made great achievements in battle, and became famous in the world.  In this way, the people surrendered and feared, and did not dare to confront Duke Ming.  This is the third disadvantage of the Kwantung Rebels;

    Yuan Benchu ??is the son of a high official. He has been in the capital all his life. He has never been on the battlefield and his body is not as good as that of a strong woman.  Zhang Mengzhuo (Zhang Miao) was a generous and benevolent man, honest and honest. Sitting in the lobby, he didn't dare to look around at all; Kong Gongxu (Kong Min) could only talk high-minded, and it was said that he could describe the living as dead and the dead.  Survival, but what use can this have in military strategy?  !  These people do not have any general talents and cannot be compared with you, Ming Gong, let alone your opponents. This is the fourth disadvantage of the Kwantung rebels;

    Based on the information given by the Prime Minister and my understanding of them, are any of these Guandong people capable of riding a horse and controlling a string, as brave as Meng Ben and Qing Ji?  I'm afraid not!  Do any of them have plans for Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?  I don't think so!  There are no outstanding generals or qualified commanders. This is the fifth disadvantage of the Kwantung Rebels;

    "And all the scholars in Guandong have various titles, and no one is willing to bow down and obey orders.  Their official positions were random appointments that had not been appointed by the emperor. They had no legitimacy at all, and they were not recognized by everyone.  Even if a so-called alliance leader could be elected, it would be impossible to gather strength and work together for a great cause like us!  Once they encounter some setbacks, they will huddle in the camp and sit back and watch their success or failure. They will never be able to advance and retreat together with one heart and one mind. This is the sixth disadvantage of the Kwantung Rebels;

    Everyone in the world knows that Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Xiongnu, Tuge and Huangzhong are rich in Hu soldiers, who are extremely fierce and admired by the people.  And now these Hu soldiers are all subordinates of Ming Gong, just like Ming Gong's minions!  Facing such a powerful army, even our Han Chinese army is in awe, let alone those rabble-rousers in Kanto. This is the seventh disadvantage of the Kanto rebels;

    ¡°Besides, Ming Gong¡¯s generals are all close friends. They have followed Ming Gong for many years and are very loyal.  Duke Ming also valued them very much and rewarded them many times. They also dedicated their loyalty and wisdom to Duke Ming.  Just like General Hu Zhen's successful night attack on the enemy camp, it is exactly this manifestation.  The Kwantung princes are at odds with each other and are plotting behind their backs. This is the eighth disadvantage of the Kwantung rebels;

    There is a saying in the Art of War that there are three kinds of destruction in war: those who attack the rule with chaos will perish, those who attack the right with evil will perish, and those who attack obedience with counterattack will perish.  Now Ming Gong upholds the state affairs, the government orders are clear, the remaining servants are eradicated, and the world is at home.  With these three virtues, attacking and destroying three people, and following His Majesty's orders to attack the rebels, is justifiable. Who can resist it? This is the ninth disadvantage of the Kwantung rebels;

    There is Zheng Kangcheng in Dongzhou, who has learned about ancient and modern times, and there are many Confucian scholars; there is Bing Genju in Beihai, who is noble, straight and bright, and a model for scholars.  But if we just talk about this knowledge, during the Warring States Period, Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Liang were so prosperous that they were also swallowed up by Qi; Wu and Chu had vast territories and strong strength, but they did not dare to cross the border!  Nowadays, the Prime Minister has great military exploits, is admired by the world for his good governance, and has good ministers on his left and right. Although the Kwantung Rebels have made many slanderous remarks about the Prime Minister, they cannot get everyone's trust, and no one will defect to them. This is the second plan of the Kwantung Rebels.  Ten disadvantages!

    With these ten major disadvantages, even if the Kwantung rebels are arrogant for a while, they will eventually be defeated!  We now have this absolute advantage. If we mobilize the army again, people in the world will be doubtful about us. This will shake the world and give opportunities to careerists.  Prime Minister, why use force when things can be solved by political means?Will it damage one's own majesty?  !  "

    As soon as these ten theories came out, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Zheng Tai had such a gap in his heart!

    At present, Dong Zhuo is very happy and worships Zheng Tai as his general, responsible for conquering the Kwantung rebels!

    However, before Zheng Tai could become happy, Li Ru quietly advised Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, Zheng Taizhi is superior to others. If he destroys the Kwantung armies again or colludes with the Kwantung armies, it will be difficult for us to control him."  .Now that the Prime Minister has asked him to take charge of the military, the ministers are very worried about the Prime Minister!"

    When Dong Zhuo heard this, it made sense, so he worshiped Zheng Tai as Yilang and left him idle.
