Chapter Forty-Four: The Arrogant Soldiers

The next day, Huangfu Songji summoned the generals and sent Dong Zhuo out of the camp. Dong Zhuo is now a person who treats crimes, and Huangfu Song is the chief general of the first army, so he doesn't need to be sent too far, just send him out of the camp. Zong Yuan, Liang Yan, Fu Xie, Yan Zhong, Zou Jing and other cadres in the army, Sima and his entourage also came to see him off behind Huangfu Song.

Liu Bei? This white body is not qualified to send it away.

At the camp gate, Huangfu Song said goodbye to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was ambitious when he came, and wanted to make himself soar by leveling Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao such a "giant thief" has not seen the two Han Dynasty, if he can be leveled, the court will reward meritorious deeds, not to mention that he will worship the marquis, both have a good name, and rise to the top, the best of both worlds, but the soldiers fought but lost the first battle, but became a person to be punished, the gap before and after is not small, but Dong Zhuo has been on the battlefield for a long time, born and died, the psychological quality is good, but he can bear it, at least on the surface, he looks like nothing.

When he came from Hedong, he brought thousands of cavalry, and now he went to Luoyang to receive the guilt, but he couldn't take this army away, so he could only stay and hand it over to Huangfu Song. As mentioned above, most of the generals of his cavalry were his fellow villagers in Liangzhou, some of whom followed him when he conquered and annexed the state from Zhang Huan, and some of whom followed him when he was the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions, which can be described as a hardcore cronie, or it may be because of this that he generously handed over the troops to Huangfu Song. - Having said that, he is not generous and can't do it, he is neither the Taishou of Hedong nor the general of Dongzhong Lang now, where does a criminal body still have the power to command the troops again?

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Although Jun lost to Guangzong, it was only a small setback, so he went to Jingshi, even if he was guilty of going to the official, with Jun's martial arts, he would soon be able to recover. Huangfu Song comforted.

Dong Zhuozuo said: "Alas, I'm not worried about being convicted, Huangfu Gong, I'm only worried about the thieves in Guangzong City!" The general went out of Kyoto, entered Yingchuan, hit Runan, Dingdong County, and even Pingshu County, and triumphant songs were frequently spread, which was because of the general's martial arts, which I could not reach, but the general must not despise the Jizhou Yellow Turban. Zhang Jiaobu is extremely brave and not afraid of death, I have been fighting for so many years, and I have rarely seen such a thief! In particular, a yellow turban player named 'Zhang Luo' is quite tricky and specializes in the grain road. Even the son of Zongjun was beheaded by him! ”

"Dong Jun's good words, Song keep them in mind."

"It's not early, I should go, take advantage of the cool morning to hurry more."

The generals under Dong Zhuo's command followed him at this time, and he summoned Dong Min, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, and Dong Yue, and explained: "After I leave, you need to abide by the military order and strictly obey the dispatch of General Huangfu. If there is news of Xu Jun, you can try your best to rescue it! ”

Dong Min and others promised.

These people are the cronies of Dong Zhuo's cronies, the henchmen of the henchmen, and they have always been the most trustworthy of Dong Zhuo.

Needless to say, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, and Duan Xuan, several of them went to greet Huangfu Song yesterday, one is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, one is Haoqiang of Liangzhou, and the other is the clansman of the famous general Duan Cheng. Dong Min and Dong Yue didn't go to greet Huang Fu Song yesterday, and stayed in the army at that time, but later they also went to Dong Zhuo's handsome tent, one is Dong Zhuo's younger brother, and the other is Dong Zhuo's younger brother.

After Dong Zhuo finished explaining, he turned over and got on the horse, bowed his hand slightly, raised his whip and shouted, and then beat the horse and left. There were only more than ten horsemen with him, and the chief guard who led the team was named Dong Huang, who was Dong Zhuo's nephew. When you come, you ride thousands of times, and when you go, you ride very little.

At this early morning, the morning sun rises not long ago, the fields on the roadside are green, the Qinghe River in the distance to the east is like a belt, more than ten fast horses go south along the official road, kicking up bursts of dust, and it doesn't take long to blend into the picture scroll of this autumn morning, and gradually drift away.

Huangfu Song sent Dong Zhuo to repay Dong Zhuo's last greeting, and secondly, for the sake of his affection with Dong Zhuo's fellow states, he sent him away, and he didn't have to delay much outside the camp, leading the generals back to the army.

Yesterday, Yan Zhong advised Huangfu Song not to rush to attack Guangzong, one of the reasons is that he is not a "confidant", therefore, Huang Fu Song plans to go to the camp of the sect members, Zou Jing, Dong Min, Niu Fu and others today to take a look and see what the equipment and fighting spirit of their subordinates are, and by the way, he is familiar with these generals.

Liang Yan, Fu Xie and the others don't need to follow Huangfu Song, they only arrived yesterday afternoon, and the camp has not yet been set up, but they have set up tents roughly, just taking advantage of today's time to renovate it again. With the permission of Huangfu Song, they returned to their camp. In addition to them, there were also Dong Zhuo's generals who returned to the camp. Huangfu Song was going to go to the camp of the sect members, Zou Jing and others first, so he asked Dong Min, Niu Fu and others to go back first.

It was also a coincidence that Liang Yan and Fu Xie's camp happened to be south of Dong Min and Niu Fu's camp, and several people simply led their horses together.

These subordinates under Dong Zhuo's command will be the most famous in later generations, Li Dao and Guo Yan. However, now the status of the two of them in Dong Zhuo's army is not high, and his subordinates only have one song. Now that Dong Zhuo has left the army and gone to Luoyang, the remaining Dong Zhuo generals will take Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min as the second, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, and Duan Xuan second, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, etc. again.

Fu Xie and Liang Yan are Huangfu Song's favorite generals, and Dong Min, Niu Fu and others are very polite to the two of them, but in comparison, they seem to be closer to Fu Xie. This is not surprising, Fu Xie is a native of Beidi County, Liangzhou, and is in the same state as Dong Min and others.

Fu Xie was promoted to filial piety when he was young, and he became famous very early, Dong Min, Niu Fu and others had already heard his name.

Liangzhou border, Confucianism is not prosperous, Dong Min, Niu Fu, this group of Dong Zhuo's generals are martial artists, most of them have not read, many people are from very low backgrounds, like Guo Yan, who was a horse thief in Xiliang before Dong Zhuo, such a group of people will naturally not quote scriptures and talk about Confucianism when talking to people, that is to say, they will talk about the interesting things they have encountered in the past battles, and recall their hometown.

Duan Xuan is the clansman of the late Taiwei Duan Cheng, and the Duan family is a famous martial artist, but Duan Xuan seems to have been messing with Dong Zhuo and their group for a long time, and he is a little unscrupulous in speaking, and he talks about meat jokes in public, which is unbearable.

Fu Xie is a humble gentleman, and he pays attention to "don't listen to indecent things": "Duan Jun! You and I are both generals of the Han Army! You must have the prestige of Han officials! How can you be virtuous with bullies and bandits! Damage to the prestige of the military! ”

Duan Xuan didn't expect Fu Xie to react so much, he was stunned for a moment, quickly apologized, and said solemnly: "It's me who lost my words, Sima is not to blame." ”

Liang Yan turned his head and glanced at Duan Xuan again, secretly surprised himself, and said in his heart: "Nan Rong's face suddenly changed and scolded mercilessly, I thought that Duan Xuan would be furious, but I didn't expect him to apologize sincerely." ”

Duan Xuan is much older than Fu Xie, he is in his forties this year, but he is willing to bow his head and apologize to Fu Xie, but he does not look like an arrogant and domineering Xiliang warrior at all.

Although Duan Xuan was not angry, Dong Min, Niu Fu and others were unhappy.

Everyone was talking lively, not speculating in a word, you Fu Nanrong suddenly turned his face, we are all fellow villagers in the same state, so we are too unsympathetic. Guo Yan, who was following behind, snorted in his nose, and wanted to go up by pressing his sword, but was dragged by Li Wei beside him.

Dong Min arched his hand at Fu Xie and said, "I'll wait for the camp to be in front, and it won't be long before I arrive, Liang Changshi and Fu Sima will take their leave." ”

He got on the horse first, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others got on the horse, and the group raised their whips and patted the horses and drove away. Duan Xuan gave Fu Xie and Liang Yan an apologetic smile and followed.

Liang Yan watched them leave, and said in his heart: "These people followed Dong Zhuo to fight in the south and the north, and they were shocked and cold, and their subordinates didn't know how many Qianghu they had killed. ”

Fu Xie snorted coldly and said, "Proud soldiers, no military discipline!" ”

Turn around and walk back.

Liang Yan hurriedly retracted his thoughts, grabbed him, and asked, "Nanrong, you and my camp are in the south, why did you go back?" ”

"Han military law: non-horse scouts report emergency military information, and horses are not allowed to ride horses in the army. Dong Min, Niu Fu and other horseback soldiers violated military discipline, I will go to General Huangfu and ask the general to punish them. ”

Liang Yan laughed.

Fu Xie was stunned and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Nanrong, do you think General Huangfu will punish them?"

"Why not?"

"As soon as Dong Zhuo left, General Huangfu punished Dong Min, Niu Fu and others, Nanrong, aren't you afraid that Dong and Niu will be resentful? Aren't you afraid that Dong Zhuo will be dissatisfied with the general? ”

"For generals, one thing is to have strict rewards and punishments, and military discipline is like a mountain. They should be punished for violating military discipline, and what is there to resent them? As for whether Dong Zhuo will be dissatisfied with General Huangfu, this is even more of a joke! Dong Min, Niu Fu and others are all military ministers of the imperial court, they violated military discipline and were punished by General Huangfu, what does Dong Zhuo have to do with it? ”

Liang Yan blinked, and said in his heart: "This Fu Nanrong is so cute. Dong Min and others are called military ministers of the imperial court, but they are all Dong Zhuo's cronies, this Qinhu cavalry is not so much a county soldier, but Dong Zhuo's private soldiers, and Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's brother, Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, if General Huangfu punishes the two of them, how can Dong Zhuo not be angry and angry? ”

He thought so in his heart, he couldn't say this, because he said with a smile, "Having said that, but now that the big thieves are currently employing people, Dong and Niu are mostly cold and Qin Hu, known as good at fighting, if they are punished for small mistakes, maybe it will depress their morale, I'm afraid this is not what you want to see, right?" ”

Fu Xie pressed his sword and was silent.

Liang Yan looked at his complexion, knew his intentions, pulled him back to the camp, and said with a smile as he walked: "Nanrong, if you report this matter to General Huangfu, you are not strict military discipline, you are embarrassing the general!" You should write down this mistake to them, and it will not be too late for you to report it to the general after the war. ”

Fu Xie is strong and loyal, just now said that he was going to report Dong Min, Niu Fu, etc., one is because he is angry that Duan Xuan is rude, and the other is because he is not used to the arrogance of these martial arts and reckless men, at this time, I heard Liang Yan say that "if you report to General Huangfu, it will only make the general embarrassed", I felt reasonable, so I no longer insisted, but I was angry and said angrily: "Everyone in the world says that my Liangzhou is vulgar and accustomed to Yifeng, and the gentlemen of the Central Plains often look down on the people of Wuzhou, but they don't know that there are gentlemen in Wuzhou, and the name of Liangzhou is corrupted by these people!" ”

In the border land of Liangzhou, Han and Hu are mixed, and the scholars of the Central Plains really don't look down on the people of Liangzhou. Although Fu Xie's family is a big family in Liangzhou, it is nothing if he is put in the Central Plains, and he was angry a lot when he was studying in the Central Plains, and at this time he spread his resentment on Dong Min, Niu Fu and others.

Liang Yan laughed and said, "Why should Nanrong be indignant? Who doesn't know the prestige of 'Liangzhou Sanming'? My Han family's frontier is Laijunzhou, and the name will be An. If there were no famous generals in Junzhou to guard the frontier, I am afraid that the 'gentlemen of the Central Plains' would have been 'dressed in the left' long ago. ”

After Liang Yan's persuasion, Fu Xie's face was a little pale.
