After seeing off Wei Ke in Xia County, Liu Zhang happily left for Luoyang with Xu Huang's mother and son.

As for Wei Ke, he could only watch Liu Zhang leave with a sad face at the door of the house.

"Patriarch, is it inappropriate to do this? Although our Wei family has rich background, the money is enough to hurt us!"

Wei Ke shook his head helplessly. As the head of the family, he naturally knew what it meant to agree to Liu Zhang.

"Second Uncle, you don't know the situation in the capital. This Liu Zhang is no longer what it used to be! His current status is hard to shake even the Great General He Jin and the Grand Tutor Yuan Kai! If our Wei family offends him, the consequences will definitely not be good. What we can bear!" "Five thousand taels of gold! Patriarch, that is gold, not brass! Our Wei family can't earn five thousand taels of gold a year!"

"Hey, Second Uncle, money is dead, but people are alive. Once people are gone, money loses its meaning! What's more, didn't Liu Zhang say it? He borrowed it."

Although Wei Ji is also very heartbroken, he can only find a way to enlighten himself. For him, Liu Zhang must never be offended!

"Borrow? Hehe, do you believe it, Patriarch? The five thousand pieces of gold must be meat buns beating dogs, and there will never be a return!"

Wei Ji looked at the second uncle behind him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Second Uncle, take a long-term view. Liu Zhang is far more than five thousand gold! He can deny the money, or even refuse to return it. But is the favor okay?"

Liu Zhang, who was already on his way home, was also discussing this issue with his subordinates.

"My lord, this Wei family is really rich! Five thousand gold! That's five thousand gold! Give it as you say!"

Dian Wei is still swallowing his saliva until now, he has never got so much gold since he was born, and he didn't even dare to think about it!

"Hehe, five thousand gold is already hurting the Wei family! After all, what we want is real gold, not an equivalent."

Dian Wei didn't take it seriously at all, and still felt that Liu Zhang asked for too little.

"My lord, if we find an excuse to copy the Wei family, wouldn't we be prosperous!"

Liu Zhang glared at him, completely unexpected that Dian Wei would have such an idea.

"You black man, don't talk nonsense! As the rear general, how can I do that robber's thing?"

"Hahaha, my lord, I'm just talking casually! Don't be angry, just talk casually!"

Dian Wei didn't expect Liu Zhang to be so angry, so he quickly admitted his mistake to him.

"Don't say such things in the future! As I said, the Wei family borrowed the money. Not only did they borrow money this time, but they also owed Wei Ke a big favor!"

Liu Zhang said so benevolently, but he didn't think so in his heart!

Favors must be owed, but money, you can only take one step at a time, after all, a penny is hard for a hero!

The five thousand gold was borrowed, but when to pay it back is another matter.

Fortunately, Liu Zhang was not someone who relied on his power to oppress others wantonly, so it was really helpless to ask Wei Qi to borrow money.

Right now, there are less than 5,000 people belonging to the Empress General. Even if Liu Hong allows it to be made up, there will only be a scale of 10,000 people. This is too difficult for the next one to two years to fight for hegemony.

It is imminent for Liu Zhang to replenish his private soldiers. After returning to Luoyang, he will start working on this matter immediately.

The reason why he was so obsessed with Xu Huang was because Liu Zhang's four generals were too conspicuous, and it was too risky for them to recruit private soldiers and train them.

Once someone with a heart grabs the handle and tells Liu Hong about Liu Zhang's training of private soldiers, it will be more than just trouble!

Training private soldiers and raising dead soldiers is undoubtedly a sign of treason. Not to mention that Liu Zhang is just a son-in-law, even Liu Hong's own son must be severely punished by Liu Hong!

After traveling for more than a day, Liu Zhang and his party finally arrived in Luoyang. Before Liu Zhang could catch his breath, Luo Yang was shocked by a news, and Liu Zhang was also rushed into the palace by Liu Hong.

"Liu Aiqing, I heard you went to Hedong? I have been looking for you since yesterday!"

Liu Zhang didn't know what was going on, so he quickly pleaded guilty to Liu Hong.

"The minister went to Hedong to do some private affairs, and please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"It's okay, is Yun'er okay? This girl has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, you have to take care of her more!"

Liu Zhang was a little curious, seeing himself in such a hurry just to talk about it?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Yun'er is gentle and virtuous, and I will definitely love you in every possible way!"

Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction, but immediately put away his smile.

"Liu Aiqing, have you heard about what happened in Liangzhou?"

"Liangzhou? Is it possible that Bianzhang will attack Sanfu again?"

Liu Zhang really didn't know what was going on in Liangzhou. According to his memory, Liangzhou would be stable until the beginning of next year at least. Moreover, the Xiliang Army will undergo a major change within it.

"No, something happened inside Liangzhou."

Liu Hong's face was very gloomy, obviously this matter had already made him quite annoyed.

"Your Majesty, please explain in detail, so that I can prepare countermeasures."

"Hey!"

Liu Hong sighed heavily, with a very obvious look of helplessness on his face.

"Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, saw that Bianzhang and others were defeated by Sanfu, and then fought repeatedly with Zhang Wen, so he set up troops from the six prefectures of Longxi, Tianshui, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Anding to attack Bianzhang. Prefect Li Xiangru and Jiuquan prefect Huang Yan rebelled and killed Geng Bi by surprise! Geng Bi lost his troops and had to retreat to Ji County, but he was killed by Wei Ding, Biejia of Liangzhou!"

"Liangzhou is in complete chaos now. All the counties are watching, and some county guards have even surrendered openly!"

Liu Zhang's face gradually turned serious, which is different from the normal historical process!

Geng Bi knew about the rebellion against Liu Zhang by the soldiers and horses of the six counties, but it happened after the year, and it was after Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, etc. were killed by Han Sui!

In this situation, will Bian Zhang and Bei Gong Bo Yu be murdered by Han Sui? What kind of situation Liangzhou will turn into is completely unknown!

"Your Majesty, the governor of Liangzhou was killed. The whole state is in such chaos that it is very easy for the rebels to defeat them one by one! When they dominate Liangzhou, it will not be as simple as an army of 100,000 troops to attack Sanfu! Especially Beigong Boyu and others They are all from Qianghu background, when the time comes, with a wave of arms, hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops will come at your fingertips! So, it’s too late to regret it!”

Liu Zhang didn't mean to scare Liu Hong, what he said had evidence. The Qiang and Hu tribes on the border of Liangzhou are mixed. There are more than a hundred tribes big and small. The small ones have more than a thousand soldiers, and the big ones can even send tens of thousands of troops!

Beigong Boyu was born in the Qiang people and won the trust of the Qiang people. Because Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was intimidating from the rear, many Qiang people still held a wait-and-see attitude and did not dare to blatantly oppose the Han Dynasty. But it is different now, if Beigong Boyu dominates Liangzhou, then the Qiang people will have no worries! At that time, the Qiang people have hundreds of people, how can they compete with them?

Liu Hong obviously started to panic. The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers kept him awake at night. If there are another million troops, will the throne be safe?

"Liu Aiqing, what should you do in your opinion? What if you lead the army to Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion?"
