"General, are you kidding me? As the governor of Hanzhong, don't I know these things?"
Liu Zhang was really amused by He Jin. After not seeing him for several years, he didn't expect He Jin to be even more stupid!
He Jin was naturally ashamed and angry, and looked at Liu Zhang angrily, completely forgetting that he had once said that he would not fight with Liu Zhang.
"In that case, why didn't the general go to Shu to put down the rebellion?"
Liu Zhang did not answer He Jin's stupid question, but looked at him like a fool. Not only Liu Zhang looked at him like this, but other ministers also looked at He Jin with strange looks.
After being embarrassed for a while, Liu Zhang bowed to Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, the general asked me not to come to Luoyang to resist the decree, but to lead troops to Yizhou instead. I don't know what this is?"
Only then did He Jin realize that he had forgotten that Liu Zhang came to Beijing on orders!
Liu Hong was worried that he had no place to find fault with He Jin, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to give him a perfect reason.
"General, is this big man in charge of me, or is it your general who has the final say?"
Liu Hong surprisingly did not get angry directly, but instead questioned He Jin very calmly.
He Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It was this suppressed anger that made him feel the most terrifying!
"Your Majesty, I was in a hurry and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
He Jin quickly bowed his hands and apologized to Liu Hong.
Judging from He Jin's performance, Liu Zhang clearly saw the changes in He Jin over the years.
Faced with Liu Hong's rage, He Jin didn't even kneel down, but bowed to apologize. This would never have happened three years ago. At that time, He Jin was so frightened that he kept kowtowing!
"Haha, the general's control is too lenient! Then the affairs in Yizhou should be handled by the governor of Yizhou. Can't all the states in the world just let the general go?"
Liu Hong didn't want to let He Jin go easily and kept scolding him. He Jin didn't dare to quibble anymore, he just kept bending down and didn't get up.
"Since the general attaches so much importance to Yizhou's affairs, he might as well take his troops to Yizhou to quell the rebellion."
When He Jin heard this, he straightened up immediately.
"Your Majesty, I am responsible for the safety of the ministers, how can I leave easily? I think the governor of Yizhou is frugal enough to put down the rebellion!"
At this critical time, He Jin will not leave Luoyang no matter what. Once he leaves, there is no telling what shocking changes will happen!
Liu Hong didn't insist anymore. He was just trying to scare He Chu and Chu to vent his anger. If he persisted, he might not know how many people would jump out to object!
"Well, since the general is unwilling to go, I don't want to force him! But since the general wants to maintain the safety of Sili, shouldn't he also have the corresponding capabilities?"
He Jin's heart skipped a beat, Liu Hong was so strange today, it made him feel like there was a deep conspiracy.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Does it mean you don't believe in my abilities?"
"Hahaha, why don't I trust the general? It's just that the newly formed Eight Schools of Xiyuan are all new recruits, and they need some training from the general!"
"How does Your Majesty want to practice?"
Liu Hong chuckled and pointed at Liu Zhang very casually.
"It just so happened that General Hou returned to Luoyang with his troops and horses. In my opinion, we might as well hold a military exercise and have the soldiers under their respective command of the General General and General Hou fight. How about that?"
He Jin's face darkened, he naturally felt that it was not good!
He Jin knew clearly what Liu Zhang was capable of. Not to mention the generals under Liu Zhang, even Liu Zhang himself was full of courage!
What's more, what kind of soldiers did Liu Zhang write about? The best soldier in hundreds of battles is not too much! Isn't He Jin still thinking about the soldiers and horses under his command?
"Your Majesty, if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured! For the sake of the world, it is better not to fight!"
In order not to show cowardice, He Jin used a righteous reason to refuse, but he was still scorned by everyone!
He Jin is scared! He didn't dare to fight Liu Zhang in a battle of soldiers and generals! Some ministers even began to whisper.
Liu Hong naturally couldn't let He Jin shirk it easily. This was already something he had decided.
"This battle does not require life or death, just set an example for the new recruits! I will personally watch it then! The winner will receive a heavy reward from me!"
"this..."
He Jin still didn't want to agree. He was really not sure about defeating Liu Zhang.
"General, there is no need to worry so much. This time we only need to call it a day and send out 3,000 men each!"
Liu Hong once again offered loose conditions, not a fight to the death, which gave He Jin peace of mind.
Even so, He Jin still hesitated to agree, which was really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, since the general is so timid and does not dare to confront me, I think it is better to forget it..."
Liu Zhang also stood up and actually broke He Jin's last fig leaf!
"How dare you! As a rear general, how dare you talk to the general like this!"
At this time, another person came out of the team and stood next to He Jin to scold Liu Zhang.
"Oh? Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty!"
Although Liu Zhang didn't know who the person who scolded him was, he was not afraid at all. No matter how big the official was, how could he get any bigger?
"Listen, I am the Chariot and Cavalry General He Miao!"
He Miaoyi looked at Liu Zhang commandingly and announced his family status.
Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Hong out of the corner of his eye and realized that he was just watching a show. He also knew that he could only use his own strength to deal with the He brothers.
"Haha, General Chariot, do you know the last General Chariot?"
"General Hou, are you threatening me?"
He Miao narrowed his eyes slightly, how could he not know who his predecessor was!
The last chariot and cavalry general, Zhang Wen, ended up being demoted to a commoner because he offended Liu Zhang, never to be used again. Who in the entire court knew this?
Liu Zhang didn't mean a threat in every word, but every word contained a strong threat!
"General He is a cavalry general. How dare I, a small rear general, threaten me! I just heard that the cavalry general defeated the rebels in Xingyang. I think his ability to command troops must be extraordinary!"
He Miao thought Liu Zhang was praising him and looked proud.
"That's right! Isn't it possible that the only general in the world can't fight a war?"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect He Jin to be stupid and He Miao to be even stupider than his brother!
"In this case, Liu Zhang is not talented, but he just happens to be able to teach the military power of the general and the cavalry general."
Just as He Miao was about to agree, He Jin suddenly stopped him and gave He Miao a fierce look.
Although Liu Hong, who was sitting above, never spoke, he was always paying attention to the He brothers and Liu Zhang. Liu Hong never expected that He Jin would be so careful, and he became anxious at the moment.
If He Jin doesn't take up the fight, all Liu Hong's future plans will become a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror!
