Chapter 10: Apprenticeship to Emperor Fu Song
As soon as Liu Hong decided to reward Zhu Jun and Wang Kai, before he could make an order, another soldier rushed into the court and said, "Your Majesty! The resurgence of the Yanzhou Yellow Turban. ”
Before Liu Hong could reply, another soldier rushed into the court and said, "Your Majesty, there is a large force of Yellow Turban troops in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. ”
Hearing these two news, Taifu Yuan Kui immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Yellow Turban thieves have not been completely eradicated, why not wait until the end of the war to reward meritorious deeds?" ”
Liu Hong thought about it and immediately replied: "What Yuan Aiqing said is reasonable, but who should be sent to suppress the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou and Jingzhou?" ”
As soon as they heard Liu Hong's words, the ministers immediately guessed that Liu Hong was the little Jiujiu in his heart, and Liu Hong was planning to abandon Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in order to reduce the necessary rewards.
Wei Wei Yang Biao immediately came out and said after sensing the meaning of Liu Hong's words: "Your Majesty, now that General Huangfu and General Zhu are in full swing, the two of them will lead the army to pacify Yanzhou and Jingzhou's Yellow Turbans. ”
Seeing Yang Biao's words to break his careful thoughts, Liu Hong was suddenly a little annoyed.
Before Liu Hong could get angry, Taifu Yuan Kui rarely stood in the same camp as Weiwei Yang Biao, and he also followed up to strongly recommend Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
Seeing that the two major civil official camps in the court had already spoken, He Jin, the general in charge of the forces of his relatives, also followed suit.
For a while, all the ministers in the court spoke to Liu Hong in unison.
Liu Hong saw that the ministers were recommending Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and he could only relent helplessly: "Okay, pass on my will, and lead the troops to attack Yanzhou Yellow Turban immediately; Zhu Jun led the troops to immediately attack the Yellow Turban in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. ”
When the ministers saw Liu Hong say this, they immediately called out to His Majesty Shengming.
Hearing what the ministers said, Liu Hong was really embarrassed in his heart.
As the decree of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty came out, a soldier soon rushed to Xihua County at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and conveyed Liu Hong's decree to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
After receiving the order, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun called Wang Kai to their side.
Seeing Wang Kai coming, after Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, Zhu Jun said to Wang Kai: "Xinhao, Yizhen and I think you are a talented person, and we both want to accept you as an apprentice to teach the art of war, and you can tell us your own thoughts." ”
'What? The two famous generals of the late Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, both wanted to take me as an apprentice, I'm afraid I'm not dreaming! ’
Seeing Wang Kai's shocked face, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun smiled slightly and then sat down and waited.
Besides, Wang Kaileng finally came back to his senses after a long time, and then Wang Kai said to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun: "General Huangfu, General Zhu, aren't you embarrassed for me?" Both generals are famous generals in the world, how did I become the master? ”
After Wang Kai kicked the ball back to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Huang Fu Song immediately continued: "Xinhao, Gongwei and I deeply feel that there is no successor to the Han family, so I want to accept you as a disciple to help the Han family, no matter which one of us you choose, we will help you, there is nothing you can't do, after all, we want to accept you as an apprentice." ”
Hearing this, Wang Kai suddenly calculated in his heart.
Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are both famous generals in the late Han Dynasty, but Huangfu Song was born in a family of generals, and Zhu Jun was born in a poor family, if I want to compete for power in the late Han Dynasty, then I need some external help, so it is most advantageous to vote under Huangfu Song. ’
After thinking about the joints, Wang Kai immediately replied: "Thanks to the two generals who can afford Wang Kai in the middle of the microscopic ends, Wang Kai is really fortunate in three lives, if Wang Kai is determined to choose a general by himself, Wang Kai wants to worship under the door of General Huangfu." ”
Hearing Wang Kai's answer, Huangfu Song looked at Zhu Jun with a smile and said, "Gongwei, admit defeat now!" ”
Zhu Jun shook his head bitterly and replied: "Yizhen, since Xinhao chose you, then you must cultivate Xinhao into a talent, if I learn that you have not cultivated with all your strength, then I will take Xinhao from you, understand?" ”
"Don't worry! Gongwei, I will hand over the burden of supporting the Han family to Xinhao. ”
Hearing the conversation between Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Wang Kai's heart was quite unbearable, because his ultimate goal could only be to dominate the world, otherwise he would die completely, and it would be difficult for him to achieve the goal of supporting the Han family.
After Zhu Jun finished talking with Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song said to Wang Kai: "Xinhao, while Gongwei is also here today, let Gongwei be a witness and let him preside over your apprenticeship." ”
"General Huangfu, what do you mean by this?"
"By the way, Xinhao, you don't know yet, right! Your Majesty sent a holy decree earlier, and Gongwei and I will divide our troops and rush to Yanzhou and Jingzhou respectively to suppress the local Yellow Turban thieves. ”
"I didn't expect it to be like this!"
"Okay, Xinhao, don't say anything superfluous, let Gongwei finish presiding over the apprenticeship ceremony, and we will leave for Yanzhou."
Wang Kai nodded and agreed.
After that, Huangfu Song immediately sent someone to fetch the Six Rites Bundle.
After all the preparations were made, Zhu Jun immediately began to preside over Wang Kai's apprenticeship.
At the end, Wang Kai respectfully said to Huangfu Song: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" As he spoke, Wang Kai kowtowed to Huangfu Song.
Zhu Jun, who was presiding on the side, immediately said a word of courtesy when he saw this.
Huangfu Song then got up and helped Wang Kai up, and then said to Wang Kai: "Xinhao, I hope you will take Kuang Fu Han as your own responsibility, study the art of war hard, and serve the country." ”
"Disciples obey the teachings!"
After the apprenticeship was completed, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song immediately divided their troops, one team headed by Zhu Jun marched towards Nanyang County in Jingzhou, and the other team headed by Huangfu Song marched towards Yanzhou.
Because Wang Kai's identity became Huangfu Song's apprentice, his position in the army was also promoted to the position of captain, and Qin Qiong was promoted to the military officer under Wang Kai.
During the march, Huangfu Song taught Wang Kai the art of war while paying attention to the recent situation of the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou.
When the scouts sent by Huangfu Song found that there were only more than 50,000 Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou, he immediately set up camp in the same place, and sent someone to find a map, and then discussed it with Wang Kai in the tent.
Pointing to the direction of Cangting County on the map, Huangfu Song said: "Xinhao, just now the spies came to report that the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou is mainly led by Bu Ji, Zhang Bo and Liang Zhongning, and these three people are basically gathered near Cangting County. ”
Looking in the direction pointed by Huangfu Song, Wang Kai immediately observed carefully.
When he found that there was a canyon near Cangting County, he immediately replied: "Master, I understand, you want to lure all the three Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou to this canyon near Cangting County, and then fight an ambush battle, right?" ”
"The children can be taught!"
"Master, the apprentice asks for an order to lead a group of men and horses to attract a yellow scarf all the way."
"Xinhao, this is exactly what it means to be a teacher, as the so-called jade is not cut, it is not a weapon."
With the approval of Huangfu Song, Wang Kai immediately took Qin Qiong to mobilize troops and horses and began to act.
