Chapter 128

Zhang Rang praised immediately upon hearing this.

At the same time, he thought: "Su Xuan! See? This Marquis is still very trustworthy. I said I would help you, so I helped you."

As for the Son of Heaven deliberately isolating Su Xuan?

He saw it.

But this is also beneficial to Zhang Rang.

He is also worried that Su Xuan will lean towards those great noble clan forces in the future!

Luoyang, Yuan Fu,

"Brother! A letter from Xun Ciming! Hoping we won't target Su Xuan anymore and can reconcile with him. What do you think?"

Yuan Wei finished reading the letter sent by the Xun clan, handed it to his eldest brother Yuan Feng, and asked.

"Oh? How could Xun Ciming get involved with that Su Xuan brat? And help him so unsparingly?"

Yuan Feng took the letter with a strange face, read it quickly, and smiled knowingly: "Haha! I didn't expect this Su Xuan to enter Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang's eyes and even get engaged to Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang's little daughter?"

"He really has good luck!"

Yuan Feng was very surprised.

"Indeed!"

Yuan Wei nodded noncommittally: "It's not an exaggeration to say that this brat is both civil and military; the only thing he lacks is background;"

"If it weren't for offending him at the beginning, and the position of Nanyang Governor is very important, I would have wanted to win him over;"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have done it at the beginning. That Qin Jie has now begun to disobey and not listen to orders;"

"In this way, it would have been better to win over Su Lie and Su Xuan at the beginning and let Su Lie take the position."

This deal was ultimately a loss.

"Regret is meaningless for things that have already been missed!"

Yuan Feng shook his head, then put the letter on the table, pondered for a moment, and said: "Xun Ciming's face must still be given;"

"Since this brat has entered the eyes of the Xun clan and is going to be Xun Ciming's son-in-law, he can be considered a person on our side of the great noble clan;"

"Reconciliation is reconciliation;"

"Afterwards, we won't target him regarding his promotion;"

"When he marries Xun Cai, we will send him a generous gift and let Xun Ciming be the middleman to make peace;"

"If he is sensible, he should know to let the past go."

This can be considered the greatest sincerity of their Yuan clan.

But it depends on whether Su Xuan is sensible in the end.

Yuan Feng believes that Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang will teach Su Xuan to understand the truth of this.

Mutual compromise is an art.

In the eyes of these noble clans, there is only eternal interest, no eternal hatred.

What's more, Su Xuan and their Yuan clan are far from being called hatred.

Hmm! At least, Yuan Feng thinks so.

"Alright!"

Yuan Wei had no objections upon hearing this.

But immediately added: "However, seeing others constantly making meritorious deeds and rising, it is not good!"

"Now, the Yellow Turban Army in the south is no longer a climate, leaving only Zhang Jiao in Jizhou;"

"Lu Zhi is worthy of the name of a famous general. He was not impulsive, but chose to proceed step by step, forcing and compressing Zhang Jiao's living space step by step;"

"If this continues, Zhang Jiao will definitely be defeated within three months;"

"At that time, the greatest credit for suppressing the thieves will all belong to him;"

"With Lu Zhi's status and official position, at that time, he will probably be appointed as a general and marquis, or even rank among the Three Excellencies, above you and me. This won't do!"

Their Yuan clan is busy, secretly inciting and supporting the Taiping Dao to develop and rise, not to make wedding clothes for Lu Zhi and others.

But to expand the influence and power of the Yuan clan and dominate the imperial court.

Mere Lu Zhi, don't even think about picking their victory fruits.

"Indeed!"

Yuan Feng nodded affirmatively: "After Zhang Jiao's trouble in Jizhou, more than half of the noble clans and powerful families have been cleared, leaving a lot of power space, which we all want;"

"Similarly, we also want the credit for suppressing the thieves;"

"Lu Zhi's strategy is very good, eating Zhang Jiao to death;"

"But there is a fatal flaw, and that is that the speed is too slow!"

"Our Son of Heaven is an impatient person who loves great achievements;"

"Especially with the examples of Su Xuan, Nanyang, and Changshe's quick victories, as long as someone provokes it, Lu Zhi's strategy can be completely distorted as Lu Zhi deliberately delaying and nurturing bandits to increase his own importance;"

"With our Son of Heaven's suspicious temperament, he will definitely believe it to be true at that time;"

"We knock on the side, not only can let Lu Zhi lose the command of the Jizhou imperial army, but even let Lu Zhi go to prison;"

"At that time, his threat will naturally be gone;"

"Then, we can recommend our own people to command the war in the Jizhou battlefield;"

"I think, with Zhang Jiao's situation of setting sun, it can be destroyed in a snap;"

"After the war, we have obtained the benefits, and we can also plead with the Son of Heaven, take advantage of the Son of Heaven's happiness, and let him pardon Lu Zhi's crimes;"

"Maybe, at that time, Lu Zhi will have to be grateful for our help! Haha!"

Yuan Feng's words can be said to have used power tactics to the extreme.

Maximized the benefits.

Hmm! If everything goes smoothly and there are no accidents.

"High! Big brother is really high!"

Yuan Wei praised his big brother with a thumbs up upon hearing this, and then recommended: "Big brother, Dong Zhuo has performed well recently. The Flying Bear Army under his command has strong combat power and can build military formations;"

"He is also quite good at military affairs and is a student of our Yuan clan. He can be used as Lu Zhi's successor!"

"Oh! Right! On the surface, he is actually not our person, but He Jin's person;"

"But he listens to us. He Jin and even the Son of Heaven should not know about this."

"At that time, we can completely let He Jin recommend him, and then we take advantage of the situation to let Benchu lead the five schools of the Northern Army alone, let Dong Zhuo take care of it, and follow to mix a first-class credit;"

"At that time, we can justifiably let Benchu get rewards and promotions. What does big brother think?"

Lu Zhi, in the eyes of the two brothers, seems to have become a chess piece and a plaything at this time.

An existence that can be manipulated at will.

"Can!"

Yuan Feng nodded upon hearing this: "Dong Zhuo is indeed good, so let's do it like this!"

At the morning meeting the next day,

The Son of Heaven Liu Hong announced the good news of the great victory in Changshe without accident, and announced the promotion of the first-merit Su Xuan to the General of the Middle Army to Suppress Thieves, commanding 20,000 troops, and continuing to suppress the rebellion.

Yuan Feng, Yang clan... and other noble clans rarely did not stand up to oppose.

Liu Hong only thought that these people knew that opposition was useless, plus they didn't value Su Xuan, so he didn't care.

On the contrary, He Jin expressed opposition as always.

Because the military power granted by the Son of Heaven to Su Xuan is getting bigger and bigger, making He Jin feel threatened.

He felt that the Son of Heaven was deliberately weakening his military power in disguise and cultivating and establishing an opponent for him.

Plus the Xun clan had no contact with He Jin and did not notify He Jin.

So it was like this.

Liu Hong was not angry but happy upon seeing this.

This is the effect he wants!

He Jin's thinking was also correct.

He indeed intended to support Su Xuan to confront He Jin and even the Yuan clan and other noble clans.

Of course, on the surface, Liu Hong still kept a straight face, glared at He Jin fiercely, and waved his hand: "This matter is decided!"

"I have said long ago that I reward those with merit and punish those with faults;"

"Su Aiqing has made new meritorious deeds again, how can he not be rewarded?"

"If you, the Grand General, are willing to charge and trap, go to the front line to kill the enemy and suppress the rebellion, I am also willing to give you enough rewards. Do you dare?"
