Chapter 912

Duan Yu's expression was calm, and he took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, the food and supplies for the million Huang Jin rebel troops were indeed provided by this subordinate."

"It was this subordinate who gave them the food and let them migrate from Jizhou to Taiyuan Commandery."

"But this subordinate is not secretly communicating with the rebel troops; I did all this for Your Majesty and for the Great Han's country and society!"

Yuan Kui's two brows were twisted together.

Just after finishing his words, Yuan Kui also felt a bit of regret.

Although it was a little late, he also felt a trace of something wrong in his heart.

But since the words had already been spoken, there was no chance to take them back.

Yuan Kui was thinking about why Duan Yu did this.

What was his purpose in doing this?

At the same time, he was looking for flaws in Duan Yu's words.

"Your Majesty, please allow this subordinate to explain in detail," Duan Yu asked Liu Hong for instructions.

Liu Hong sat slowly on the armrest of the dragon throne, then nodded slowly.

The hall became quiet again, and everyone's gaze turned to Duan Yu.

If this kind of thing is not explained well, I fear Duan Yu will really lose his head.

Not to mention Duan Yu's behavior.

Just causing the Emperor's suspicion is enough for him to die countless times.

"Your Majesty," Duan Yu said in a calm and unhurried tone: "Jizhou is the birthplace of the Way of Peace and is also the place where there are the most Huang Jin rebels today."

"Between commanderies and counties, there are countless rebel troops everywhere."

"Although this subordinate was fortunate enough to kill Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the number of Huang Jin rebels in Jizhou has increased rather than decreased."

"The Way of Peace has been operating in Jizhou for more than ten years, and the number of its leaders is countless."

"Even if this subordinate can kill ten, there are still a hundred. If we keep fighting like this, it will only consume the financial, material, and human resources of the Great Han."

"So this subordinate believes that if we want to thoroughly eradicate the Huang Jin Rebellion, we must avoid the Jizhou battlefield."

"Making the Huang Jin rebels lose their foundation and lose their convenience of fighting on their home turf."

"This is this subordinate's idea and strategy for dealing with the Huang Jin rebels," Duan Yu said.

Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon throne, slowly digested the content of what Duan Yu said.

"Duan Yu, even if you are right, how can you prove that you and the Huang Jin rebels didn't agree on this?"

Yuan Kui suddenly asked: "You said you did this on purpose, but why did the million Huang Jin rebels listen to you?"

"Could it be that you can command a million Huang Jin rebels?"

"Or did you reach some kind of agreement with the rebel leader Zhang Jiao?"

"You said you did it for the country and society, but with so many rebel troops, if they went south to attack Luoyang, the country and society would be destroyed in an instant. Such a major national event, how can you decide it alone?"

"You didn't go through the Imperial Court, you didn't go through Your Majesty's permission; do you know what kind of behavior this is!"

Yuan Kui's words and sharp questions once again pushed Duan Yu to the forefront.

After these words, even if Duan Yu really didn't communicate with the rebels and was really thinking for the country, he was still suspicious.

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at Duan Yu.

Waiting for Duan Yu's answer.

Duan Yu smiled at Yuan Kui's gaze.

"Heh."

"How does Minister Yuan know that this official can really control those million Huang Jin rebels?" Duan Yu said with a smile.

What!

This!

"Minister Yuan is right; those million Huang Jin rebels were indeed controlled by this official."

"Nonsense!"

"It's simply nonsense!" Yuan Kui looked at Liu Hong on the dragon throne and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan is afraid he has gone mad!"

"There are a million Huang Jin rebels; except for the rebel leader Zhang Jiao, no one can control them. He, Duan Yu, says he can control the Huang Jin rebels, unless he is Zhang Jiao's son!"

"Otherwise, there is absolutely no such possibility!"

The smile on Duan Yu's face became even happier.

This Yuan Kui guessed quite accurately.

In theory, a son-in-law is half a son.

It must be said, he really is half a son of Zhang Jiao.

Of course, he couldn't tell Yuan Kui this.

"Duan Yu, I want an explanation from you," Liu Hong said in a deep voice: "How did you control these million Huang Jin rebels?"

"Your Majesty, this is a long story," Duan Yu bowed and replied: "This subordinate will try to keep it short."

"Since entering Jizhou, this subordinate has been seeking a way to break the rebels."

"It's just that the rebel troops are powerful, and this subordinate has few troops and few generals. If we confront them head-on, it will be a long time."

"But this subordinate is worried that if we continue like this, it will inevitably consume the national strength of the Great Han."

"So this subordinate has been thinking, is there a way that can be both fast and effective to solve the Huang Jin Rebellion?"

"It's a coincidence; after arriving in Jizhou, I discovered something in Quliang City."

"It turns out that Zhang Bao, who called himself the General of the People, and the Huang Jin leader Zhang Jiao were at odds. In Quliang City, Zhang Bao seized power and placed Zhang Jiao under house arrest."

"And when this subordinate was patrolling the terrain in Quliang, I accidentally met Zhang Jiao, who had escaped from the city."

Liu Hong's eyes suddenly widened and he asked eagerly: "Then... since you met Zhang Jiao, why didn't you behead him?"

Duan Yu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this subordinate wanted to behead Zhang Jiao at the time."

"But at that time, Zhang Jiao had no power, and the power in his hands had already been seized by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. Even if I killed Zhang Jiao, it wouldn't change the overall situation."

"So, this subordinate thought of a way to use Zhang Jiao's prestige in the Way of Peace to disintegrate Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang."

"Therefore, this subordinate hid my name, rescued Zhang Jiao, and finally protected him."

"This subordinate was alone, hiding by Zhang Jiao's side, and sent him to Guangzong City, letting Zhang Jiao gather the believers of the Way of Peace in Guangzong City, and then wait for the opportunity."

"At this time, it happened that my father-in-law and the Northern General of the Household, Lu Zhi, defeated Zhang Bao, and tens of thousands of Way of Peace rebel troops fled in all directions."

"Zhang Jiao gathered a large number of Huang Jin rebel troops in Guangzong City."

What Duan Yu said caused incomparable shock in the court.

After Duan Yu led troops to Jizhou, there was very little intelligence about his whereabouts and specific situation.

The only time was when he killed Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

But how exactly he killed them, there was no official report.

This was strange in itself.

Now it seems that the clue is in what Duan Yu is saying now.

Liu Hong also listened with a look of shock.

"Your Majesty, it's not that this subordinate didn't report this to Your Majesty, but this matter is of great importance. If there is a leak of information..."

When Duan Yu was speaking, his gaze turned to Yuan Kui.

Touched by Duan Yu's gaze, Yuan Kui's complexion instantly became extremely ugly.

Especially that slightly raised corner of his mouth, which made Yuan Kui feel a fear emanating from the bottom of his heart.

"If the news leaks, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"I hope Your Majesty understands," Duan Yu bowed to Liu Hong.

He Jin, who was just shocked, also relaxed his mood at this time.

"Your Majesty, Duan Yu entered the tiger's den alone. For Your Majesty, for the Great Han, his loyalty can be seen," He Jin said.

Liu Hong nodded and said: "Continue, what happened later."

"This subordinate followed Zhang Jiao all the way north to Xiaquyang, and finally met Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in Xiaquyang, and designed for Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang to fight each other. It was also taking this opportunity that I killed Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang."

"Afterwards, Zhang Jiao gathered hundreds of thousands of Huang Jin rebel troops in Xiaquyang, preparing to go south to attack Luoyang. At this time, the Huang Jin rebel troops in Youzhou, Qingzhou, and other places had all gone to Xiaquyang."

"This subordinate's Liangzhou troops only had about ten thousand people, and could not annihilate so many Huang Jin rebel troops at all."

"So, this subordinate suggested, suggested that Zhang Jiao walk across the Black Mountain and attack Luoyang from the direction of Taiyuan Commandery. In this way, it would not affect the autumn harvest in Jizhou and other places in a short time."

"This subordinate followed Zhang Jiao all the way from Xiaquyang to Taiyuan Commandery."

At this time, the ministers in the hall had all been shocked by Duan Yu's words.

If Duan Yu hadn't said this, no one would have been able to guess it.
