Chapter 1275

~6 min read 1,118 words

What is the reason for sending troops?

If one really talks about it, Wang Hunu committed suicide, and was not beheaded by Yuan Shu.

Even if there is a fuss, the court will naturally mediate.

Either punish Yuan Shu, or something else.

But to send troops for this reason is not just a simple stretch.

I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the world.

"Lord, I think this matter should be thought over three times," Jia Xu said with a solemn face: "And Liangzhou has just experienced a major war. It will take at least two months for the troops to return to Liangzhou from the Western Regions, not to mention marching into Hedong Commandery."

"With such a long march, plus having been campaigning in the Western Regions for more than half a year, the soldiers are homesick. At this time, there is no reason to send troops, and the morale is not usable."

"If one misstep occurs, I am afraid it will affect the overall situation in the future."

"I know the Lord and Commander Wang are like brothers, but..."

When speaking, Jia Xu's gaze looked at the soldiers outside the camp: "Lord, their lives... are also lives. I hope the Lord... thinks three times before acting."

Cheng Yu also stood up and bowed to Duan Yu: "Lord, I think Wenhe is right. If you act impulsively, I am afraid it will affect the foundation of Liangzhou!"

Xun You also expressed agreement.

"What you said is not wrong, and I also understand this principle."

"But..."

Duan Yu's "but" made the hearts of Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Xun You hang up immediately.

Being righteous and valuing friendship.

Is a good name.

It is also an advantage.

This is undoubtedly true.

Ordinary people who value friendship are righteous people and can make many friends.

Officials who value friendship are called sincere, compassionate to the people, and good friends.

Generals who value friendship can gain the support of soldiers and be invincible in battle.

These are all advantages and good names that can be spread.

But...

If a king values friendship, to some extent.

This might not be considered an advantage.

Just like the current situation.

If Duan Yu insists on avenging Wang Hunu, it is very likely that he will directly end up with the name of an enemy of the world and a rebel.

If it really evolves into this, then I am afraid it will be really difficult to move an inch in the future.

"But... but what if I say that the previously missing eldest imperial son, Shi Hou Liu Bian, is here with me?" Duan Yu's gaze looked at Jia Xu and the others.

Hiss!

A sound of gasping for air came from the tent instantly.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Xun You all looked at Duan Yu with extremely shocked eyes.

The news of Shi Hou, that is, Liu Bian's disappearance, had already spread.

Everyone thought Liu Bian was already dead.

As for the reason, there is no need to say more.

Empress Dowager Dong supported Dong Hou Liu Xie, so Shi Hou Liu Bian naturally became a thorn in the eye.

Disappearance, or being made to disappear, are extremely normal things.

But...

Duan Yu spoke slowly, telling the cause and effect of how he got Shi Hou Liu Bian.

"Shi Hou previously lived in the deep palace. The commander of the Forbidden Army, Jian Shuo, suggested to Empress Dowager Dong that in order to weaken Shi Hou's threat to the throne, he wanted to secretly send him out of the palace and place him outside the palace."

"Wait for Dong Hou to ascend the throne, and after everything is settled, welcome Shi Hou back to the palace."

"But it happened that I learned of this news."

"Under the operation of the Military Intelligence Department, Shi Hou was brought to Liangzhou by me and is currently in Jixian."

"Wenhe, you said that my sending troops out of Liangzhou is rebellion."

"Then what about now?"

Duan Yu sneered and said: "Empress Dowager Dong is causing chaos in the court, abandoning the legitimate eldest son to establish a concubine's son."

"The regular attendant Jian Shuo incited the Empress Dowager to harm the imperial heir!"

"The Emperor has no imperial edict to establish Dong Hou as the Crown Prince and inherit the throne!"

"Empress Dowager Dong slandered Empress He and prepared to kill her all. Yuan Shu obeyed Empress Dowager Dong's orders to hunt down the Empress and killed my subordinate general."

"I am the Liangzhou Governor and Marquis of Ten Thousand Households personally appointed by the Emperor!"

"Now that the Great Han is covered in dust, treacherous officials are in power, and the evil Empress is causing chaos in the country, shouldn't I clear the side of the Emperor, rectify the court situation, and support the orthodox path of the Great Han?"

After Duan Yu said these words, Jia Xu felt as if a righteous spirit had surged out of his body.

Rebel?

No, no, no!

This is clearly a loyal official of the Great Han.

The Empress Dowager Dong, the regular attendant Jian Shuo, and Yuan Shu in Luoyang City are the rebels.

With the eldest imperial son in hand, the situation is different.

Completely different.

Now it is hard to say who is the side of rebellion.

"Wenhe, do you think my reason for wanting to clear the side of the Emperor and support the orthodox Great Han is enough?" Duan Yu asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu bowed to Duan Yu with both hands and said: "Lord, I take back the words I just said."

"The evil Empress is causing chaos, abandoning the legitimate eldest son to establish a concubine's son, and harming the imperial heir. She deserves to be executed!"

"I am willing to enter Luoyang with the Lord to clear the side of the Emperor!"

Cheng Yu and Xun You, who were on the side, also bowed to Duan Yu at this time:

"We are willing to kill the treacherous officials with the Lord and clear the side of the Emperor!"

"Very good!"

Duan Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "The side of the Emperor will be cleared, but before that, Yuan Shu must die first!"

"Wenhe, you are right. It will take some time for the army to return, but I need Yuan Shu to die first."

"Starting tomorrow, the army will accelerate its return to Liangzhou. I will take a step ahead."

"Wenyou has already made arrangements in Liangzhou. I will go back first to give them a big surprise."

"Since they want to play, I will play a big one with them!" ===== CHAPTER 1277 =====
