In all fairness, anyone who puts Dong Zhuo or Huangfu Song in this position will probably have some grievances in their hearts.

After the Huangfu Song Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was the general of the Che Cavalry and the pastor of Jizhou, even if both were discounted, it was also the General of the Che Cavalry and the pastor of Jizhou, right?

And then what? Then in order to make room for people, in order to take back the seal of the general of the chariot cavalry, Luoyang kicked him away, from a chariot general to a person who lived at home, and the county marquis of 8,000 households became a township marquis of 2,000 households. Now that I can use him, I will take him out of the house with an old man's edict and continue to work hard...... But if you want to be in the same column as the people you looked down on in the past, and become the subordinates of your former colleagues, who can bear it in their hearts?

Dong Zhuo was even more aggrieved.

Because as he himself said, since Huangfu Song was ousted on the same day, he has almost turned the tide in the entire Liangzhou war!

Huangfu Song was dismissed, and he was alone in Fufeng to defend himself;

Zhang Wen conquered the west, and it was he who fought with all his strength to win a big victory and take away Han Sui;

Zhang Wen was defeated and returned, the whole army retreated, and he was the only one who returned with the whole division to protect the army;

Later, Zhang Wen, the general of the defeated army, went back to Luoyang and continued to be his senior official, and it was he Dong Zhuo who led 20,000 soldiers here alone to defend against the rebels regardless of the hardships and months......

And now, the war is back, but he can't be a coach, why?!

Of course, Dong Zhuo actually knew very well why in his heart, and he also said it...... Because he doesn't study, because he is a martial artist in Liangzhou, so in the eyes of the princes over there in Luoyang, he Dong Zhongying is a former general, a townsman, and 20,000 soldiers are already over, unless there is any big mess in the future, it is impossible to give him higher authority!

Huangfu Song is also a native of Liangzhou, but he reads and learns scriptures, so in the eyes of those big people in Luozhong, he is one level higher than him Dong Zhuo; Gongsun Xun is actually a border despise, but he not only reads, but also runs schools and teaches, and also punishes eunuchs, and he is also the political heir recognized by Liu Kuan, so the upper limit of his person is vaguely higher in the eyes of the center, so the Son of Heaven confiscated his seal at the beginning!

And now, through his personal relationship with the general, he is involved in the dispute in Luozhong, so he is looked down upon again.

Dong Zhuo knew these things, and the information sent by his younger brother verified all this seamlessly, but the more this was the case, the more indignant Dong Zhongying became!

Why shouldn't he go any further?

Why does this stop there?

Lao Tzu is obviously meritorious and hard-working!

"If my son is still alive, my heart can't be at peace, so why is this?" On the evening of the same day, before going to bed, Dong Zhuo said this to his two sons-in-law.

At this moment, Li Ru and Niu Fu rarely understood their father-in-law's state of mind at the same time.

After the severe cold, snow and ice in November, the entire December of Guanzhong is sunny and pleasant.

Therefore, soon after Gongsun Xun arrived in Chang'an, he took a short rest and set off from Chang'an to the camp of Huangshui where Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were located.

And this time on the road, but only a mere 200 miles away, and the Guanzhong Plain along the Wei River all the way smooth, therefore, Gongsun Xun's more than 10,000 forbidden troops westward only three days, on the morning of the fourth day, they have seen the location of Yongxian County, which was later named after Yongzhou, and even the Han army rangers under the command of Dong and Huangfu appeared in the army's field of vision, and the two sides immediately established contact and interaction.

After another half a day, under the clear winter blue sky, the front army had arrived at the reserved position and immediately set up camp. At the same time, among the two large battalions on the left and right, the former general Dong Zhuo and the left general Huangfu Song have already led the lieutenant generals and colonels of their respective armies to come here to greet them.

At this time, Gongsun Xun, the commander of the army, also stopped a few miles in front of the battalion, and then led the lieutenant colonel to dismount and rest on the side of the road for a while, and tidy up his appearance.

At the same time, he also summoned the military Sima Jia Xu and took the initiative to ask for advice.

"Although it is a pity that Duke Dong and Huangfu are lamentable, I also respect them as generals in the army, but this time the enemy is currently in danger, and the military is dangerous, so I can't take care of it much." Gongsun Xun stood beside the road, and with the help of Yicong, he put on armor and belts while getting straight to the point. "Wenhe, I have always been deeply convinced of Yan Shude's words, since I met in Mengjin that day, I have regarded you as a good and peaceful person, you must tell me today, how can I unify the military power?"

Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and then glanced at the more than ten Guanzhong officials who came from Chang'an...... He didn't believe that Gongsun Xun didn't have a plan and preparation in his heart, and he didn't believe that Xi Zhong, who had studied the way of Legalism in Yingchuan for many years, didn't give his lord a thorough analysis of the situation, but since the other party was the chief and asked like this again, he Jia Xu could only answer again.

"General." Jia Xu thought for a moment and then bowed slightly. "There is no such thing as a good solution, because there are only three ways to go......"

"Come on."

"The first one is the general who came with the festival, and Luoyang clearly described, and the Duke of Dong and the Duke of Huangfu are your lieutenants...... This is righteousness, and the name of the grandeur is justified by the way! ”

"Not bad."

"Secondly, the former general and the left general have old friends with the prince and the marquis, and they have reached the rank of three generals, so there will be no face-to-face conflict, right? Let's talk about feelings, friendships, and military ......"

"It's polite and soft?" Gongsun Xun smiled at each other.

"Exactly." Jia Xu also bowed his head slightly.

"What else?"

"What's more, it's really a last resort, and you can only use your power to subdue the two." As he spoke, Jia Xu once again looked at the more than ten people who were accompanying the Chinese army and two thousand stones, and then they faced each other. "After all, it's a military affair...... However, I thought that when the matter came, with the ethics of the Emperor Fu and Dong Gong, no one would misjudge the situation. ”

In the three counties of Guanzhong, three Taishou and three captains, except for one Gai Xun who stayed in Chang'an to sit in the rear, the rest all came here. In addition, there were originally three lieutenants in the army, a cavalry lieutenant, and a nominally 600 stones, but in fact the rank was equivalent to 2,000 stones, and even slightly more than Liu Biao, a total of ten people, and now all of them are honestly following Gongsun Xun's Chinese army here...... This is Gongsun Xun in Chang'an four days ago, with the eunuch children, Chang'an County Ling Yang Dang, as well as the local wealthy family in Chang'an, and the head of the Gao clan related to the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei's cronies and eunuchs.

The purpose of this move is self-evident, that is, to ask these people to take a low profile, so as to highlight the high profile of Gongsun Xun, the general of Wei, and may also use this to dismount and stand up.

And Jia Xu's meaning is also very clear...... Don't come up and do this kind of hurtful thing.

Gongsun Xun had already finished dressing, as if he hadn't seen the other party's gaze, but continued to ask with interest: "This is the meaning of salute first and then soldier?" ”

"Not bad." Jia Xu came back to his senses and continued. "The rebels have only one Liangzhou, and they are short of materials, and they are uneasy to attack Sili as a rebel...... Now that they are blocked in Chencang, it shouldn't be us who is in a hurry, but we are really not in a hurry. ”

Gongsun Xun was neither happy nor angry, noncommittal, but bowed slightly.

Immediately, several names suddenly came up, presented a good brocade robe with inner lining, and wanted to change it for Jia Xu, but Jia Wenhe was obviously a little uncomfortable, and actually dodged several times in a row...... So, Gongsun Xun took a step forward and took the initiative to put on a brocade robe for the other party.

The people around him looked sideways, but Jia Wenhe calmed down...... He understood what Gongsun Xun meant, and the other party didn't expect to use this kind of little trick to subdue him Jia Xu, but if he didn't do this kind of thing, how could he simply and directly express that he really regarded him Jia Wenhe as a character like Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?

After everyone had finished arranging their instruments, they remounted their horses and hurried to the camp in front.

Although the camp was still under emergency construction, because a light cavalry had already informed Gongsun Xun of his arrival, and at the same time a new camp was demarcated between the two barracks, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were no longer on the wrong path, and they were still very professional and asked people to help get some antlers and other things.

When Gongsun Xun led the crowd to arrive here, the two also went out of the camp to greet each other in person. The three of them laughed for a while, but they only talked about the past, and they didn't show any unhappiness. After a while, I heard that the attendants in front of me had reported that they had found a sunny high ground in the camp, and set up seats and a few cases, and asked General Wei to go to rest, and erected a scepter and raised the flag...... Gongsun Xun even walked with the two of them and went straight to the other side.

As Jia Xu said, even if the dissatisfaction between these three people has been made clear, and even Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, who arrived first, have begun to have some friction in private, but at the highest level, there is still some superficial effort.

Or else? Let people like Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song spit on each other face to face every day?

Spit is also to follow the rules.

And when they came to the high ground, they saw that their scepters had been erected and their banners had been erected...... should have stepped forward to pay homage to the new commander General Wei Gongsun Xun according to their respective ranks, but at this time, most of the subordinates who came with Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were shocked to find that there was no place for them to stay on this platform.

It's not that it's deliberately difficult, but there are too many people who come with Gongsun Xun, a full nine 2,000 stones, plus a lieutenant in the Northern Army, who surrounds Gongsun Xun like the stars holding the moon, so the army is not qualified to step forward at all, such as Li Dao Guo Yan Huangfu Li is reluctant to go up and has nothing to say...... The gap between the two thousand stones and the officials below them is really like a moat.

Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, who stepped forward with Gongsun Xun, also noticed this scene, and then although the two of them couldn't be called discolored, they couldn't help but put away their smiles and looked a little serious.

Sure enough, when he went up to Taichung, Gongsun Xun spread his hand and stood in the middle of the building, and most of the officers who followed Huangfu and Dong couldn't help but bow down with the ten officers led by Liu Biao.

But Huangfu Song, who was standing not far from Gongsun Xun, glanced at Dong Zhuo, and stood up straight with a straight face...... Neither accept this salute, nor can it be possible to bow to Gongsun Xun!

They're shameful!

But at this moment, Gongsun Xun, who was in the middle above, suddenly commanded:

"Princes, the former Emperor Fu overthrew Zhang Jiao and saved the country from overthrowing, which can be called a great achievement. And the dismissal with natural disasters is really a eunuch and a hypothesis. Therefore, the mere general left is really not enough to demonstrate his virtue...... And the court can not reward it, but we can't turn a deaf ear...... Since it is rare for the princes to follow me here, you might as well pay your respects to the emperor again! ”

Before Huangfu Song could react, he saw that the party member Bajun Liu Biao was the leader, and the ten members were the leaders, and they actually bowed down to him again to pay homage, and they couldn't help but support him, and then laughed embarrassedly.

After this worship, Huangfu Song was angry, but Dong Zhuo instinctively looked at Gongsun Xun.

Sure enough, Gongsun Xun condescendingly replied: "Princes, in the past few years, everything in Liangzhou has been supported by Dong Gong, and the safety of Guanzhong and Luozhong is also maintained by Dong Gong...... This war is about to start, and the imperial court does not appoint it to the party, which is really a failure to Dong Gong, and the monarch is favored by him, so he must not worship! ”

After that, these ten local officials in the army and Guanzhong also bowed their heads honestly again and formally bowed to Dong Zhuo.

Unlike Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo sneered when he heard this, but he held his head high and accepted this worship calmly.

In the audience, Jia Xu, who had just raised his head, saw this scene, and the good mood he got because Gongsun Xun adopted his theory of saluting first and then soldiering disappeared in an instant...... He was keenly aware that although this fellow villager Dong Gong's face was as usual, he was afraid that he had already drilled the tip of the horns.
