Regarding Guo Jia's analysis, Liu Feng, who is familiar with the historical process, also expressed his agreement.

However, he believed that even if Huangfu Song was impeached and Emperor Han Ling changed his generals on the battlefield, he would be afraid of making another meritorious service, so he might send other generals to Liangzhou to resist the rebellion.

In this regard, Guo Jia also said that it is not impossible.

In the end, the two came to the conclusion, always believing that if Huangfu Song adopted a defensive and counterattack tactic, he would be dismissed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

It didn't take long for the facts to confirm Liu Feng and Guo Jia's judgment.

As expected, Huangfu Song adopted relatively safe tactics. Although he firmly defended his position and did not allow Huangzhong Yicong to take any further steps, he was slandered by the eunuchs because he failed to retreat from the enemy. Four months after taking office, he had not yet shown his full potential. He was dismissed because of his skill.

Subsequently, the continuous rebellion in Liangzhou greatly damaged the treasury, and the court had to impose taxes and recruit labor to cope with the war.

At this time, Situ Cui Lie actually suggested giving up Liangzhou.

In response, Yilang Fu Xie made some exciting words to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in the morning, strongly condemned Cui Lie, and emphasized the importance of Liangzhou's location on the front line.

He said:"Liangzhou officials were at odds, causing the entire Liangzhou to fall into the hands of rebels.

Cui Lie, as prime minister, did not want to think of a way to pacify the country, but wanted to cede a square mile of land. I was puzzled.

If the barbarians from Zuojun are allowed to occupy this place, become more powerful and cause chaos, this will be the greatest worry in the world and a deep sorrow for the country.

If Cui Lie does not know this, he is too stupid; if he knows it and still says so, it is Disloyal."

At the same time, Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army, also spoke out against Cui Lie's point of view. He believed that giving up Liangzhou was undesirable for at least three reasons:

First, Liangzhou was a territory conquered by our ancestors and must not be given up easily.

Second, if Liangzhou is lost, the third assistant in Guanzhong will become the front line. If it is defeated, will even the third assistant have to give up.

Third, the people of Liangzhou are tough and brave enough to fight. If you force them to abandon their homeland, wouldn’t you force them to rebel?

When the time comes, these people will rebel together with the Qiang people, what will the court do?

Impressed by the rhetoric of Fu Xie and Cao Cao, Liu Hong appointed Zhang Wen as General of Chariots and Cavalry to take over the battle in Liangzhou on Huangfu Song's behalf. He also appointed general Dong Zhuo to break up the bandits, and Zhou Shen, the general to destroy the bandits, to assist.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wen's army still failed to achieve a crucial victory.

Before again, Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu led the Huangzhong Yicong to capture many Liangzhou officials as hostages. At this time, among the hostages, Bian Zhang, the magistrate of Xin'an County, and Han Sui, a Liangzhou official, were persuaded to join the rebels.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui had been in Liangzhou for a long time and had great prestige, so Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou elected Bian Zhang as their leader.

In addition, Han Sui's general Yan Xing was a top-notch general, making the rebels unprecedentedly powerful, and Zhang Wen's army was defeated one after another.

Seeing that the army led by Zhang Wen was about to be completely defeated by the rebels, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty finally panicked and immediately asked the ministers in the court for any good strategies to defeat the enemy.

Just when everyone couldn't think of a way, Lu Zhi suggested to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty:"King Liu Feng of Liaodong is highly skilled in martial arts, and his Liaodong army is the best in the world.

King Liaodong has never experienced defeat since his debut, and he almost defeated You. All the foreign races in the state have been eliminated.

Presumably, the King of Liaodong is very experienced in fighting against foreign races.

I think that although the King of Liaodong is not very old, he can almost be regarded as the most capable official of the Han Dynasty.

If your Majesty wants to put down the rebellion in Liangzhou as soon as possible"Liu Feng, King of Liaodong, must be the most suitable candidate."

After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Liu Hong also believed that Huangzhong Yicong was so powerful that even Huangfu Song was not his opponent, and no one except Liu Feng could really defeat them.

So Liu Hong agreed to Lu Zhi's suggestion, drafted an imperial edict himself, and sent someone to Liu Feng to go to Liangzhou to assist Zhang Wen in suppressing the rebels.

And because Liu Feng had already made extraordinary achievements in the previous battles to eliminate Wuhuan, quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and overthrow Goguryeo, and even achieved great success, Liu Hong was dissatisfied.

Therefore, Liu Hong had been deliberately avoiding the idea of ​​letting Liu Feng go to the front line to quell the rebellion.

However, none of the famous generals who could be sent out at this time could stop Huangzhong Yicong's attack, so Liu Hong had to use Liu Feng again.

However, Liu Hong not only hoped that Liu Feng would suppress the rebels, but also feared that Liu Feng would make great achievements through this, so he did not let Liu Feng be the commander-in-chief of the army, but only let him serve as the supervisor of the army.

This supervisor seems to have great power and can even issue orders to the commander of the army, Zhang Wen. However, in fact, he is only responsible for making decisions for Zhang Wen and ensuring that Zhang Wen does not make mistakes.

The real command power still rests with Zhang Wen.

Therefore, if they win, it is because of Zhang Wen's excellent command. If they lose, in addition to Zhang Wen's responsibility, Liu Feng is also responsible for his unfavorable supervision.

However, after receiving the imperial edict, Liu Feng and Guo Jia secretly looked at each other, exchanged opinions, and agreed.

After all, Princess Wannian was monitoring Liu Feng in Dragon City and reporting to Liu Hong at all times. Liu Feng could no longer pretend to be ill and had no choice but to accept the imperial edict and agree to it.

After sending the angel away, Liu Feng discussed countermeasures with Guo Jia, and believed that since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed him as the supervisor of the army instead of the supreme commander, he was obviously afraid of him.

Since he had no real power as a supervisor, Liu Feng decided to ride to Chang'an alone and leave the Liaodong army in Longcheng to prevent anyone from launching an attack on Liaodong while he was away.

But regarding Liu Feng's idea, Guo Jia objected:"It is definitely not wise for the lord to go to the front line alone.

Although the lord is highly skilled in martial arts, there is no danger in going alone, but it is not conducive to managing the personnel on the front line.

If the lord is himself If you go alone and have no trustworthy soldiers, you have to do everything yourself. Not only will you suffer, but you will also be used by people with ulterior motives in the eyes of others.

After all, the dangers of this rebellion in Liangzhou are even slightly less than that of the Yellow Turban Uprising. However, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty paid even more attention to it.

At this time, when he was losing consecutive battles, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked the lord to go to the front line, even though he knew that the lord's army was powerful.

If the lord went by himself, he would be defeated by He Jin, Dong Zhuo and others. When people who are dissatisfied with the lord see it, they will inevitably impeach Liu Hong and passively respond to the imperial edict.

Liu Hong is already wary of the lord, but he is afraid that after hearing these words, he will be dissatisfied with the lord in his heart.

This is definitely not what we want to see."."

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Feng felt that it made sense, and finally decided to rush to Chang'an with three thousand red-blooded dragon knights, leaving Guo Jia, Tai Shici, three thousand longbowmen and three thousand dragon city behind. The cavalry guarded Liaodong.

Three thousand cavalry marched in a hurry, and within a few days, they arrived at Chang'an City, and saw Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian again in the city.
