Chapter 21: Walking by the Pianpian River (Part II)

The person who came was the left general Huangfu Song, who had experienced the daytime war and the night torture, and he had already stopped thinking and didn't want to pay much attention to the affairs in the army...... But Gongsun Xun invited him to come late at night, and he couldn't refuse. ~with~dream~small~say~Ρ‰~suimΠ΅ng~com

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the war is decided, and I will leave tomorrow." In the private account late at night, the two sat down at will, and Gongsun Xun got straight to the point. "I had already sent one before the war, and I just asked Wang Xibo to write a new one, which has been sent to Luoyang overnight...... Before leaving, there are some things that I want to entrust to the emperor. ”

Huangfu Song's face did not change, and he woke up almost instantly: "But you want to hand over the captives to me?" General Wei can rest assured that since the punishment has been applied, the prisoners will definitely be properly settled here. ”

Gongsun Xun nodded, this is the reason why he chose Huangfu Song, since he has already been punished, there is no need to kill again, and the attitude that Huangfu Song showed before is the best at this time.

Correspondingly, Huangfu Song also understands this truth, so he doesn't care.

However, Gongsun Xun nodded and added: "In a few days, Luozhong must have a will, before this, not only prisoners, but also the five schools of the Northern Army of our department, as well as the battalion, logistics, and scepters...... In short, all of this is left to General Zuo for temporary moderation. ”

Huangfu Song was really at a loss this time, he didn't agree directly, but pondered for a long time before asking: "It's okay for anything else, Wen Qi returned to Luoyang this time, didn't he bring the Northern Army and the Scepter to return to his life?" The Northern Army was originally a forbidden army, and it was a big deal to disband the Three Rivers Knights on the spot at Hangu Pass, and only bring the five colonels of the Northern Army to Luo. Or is it that there is a change in Luo, and in order to prevent people from being uneasy, the general has specially said in advance, so that you don't have to bring troops back? ”

Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, but still told the truth: "I will leave tomorrow, and I have nothing to hide...... Actually, I said that I would leave, not to return to Luo by the order of the general, but to return to Youzhou. ”

Rao is Huangfu Song has experienced repeated turmoil, and he can't help but wonder in his heart: "What happened to Youzhou?" ”

"Youzhou has changed, Wuhuan and Xianbei are all opposed, so that they are cut off from the outside!" Gongsun Xun said earnestly. "Huangfu Gong, Youzhou Township was attacked by rebels, and the lessons of Liangzhou are here, so I have to take care of it. Besides, the enemy has been broken today, and my Gongsun Xun has not failed the trust of the center and the general, let alone the people of Sergeant Guan...... Tomorrow, it is natural to return to his hometown and defend his hometown. ”

Huangfu Song sighed for a while, but remained silent for a long time.

And Gongsun Xun didn't force him too much after saying this, just waited quietly for the other party to speak.

I don't know how long it took, Huangfu Yizhen asked with some difficulty: "When did this happen?" ”

"It was the opposite of the previous year, after the Chinese New Year, Gai Yuangu received a messenger in Chang'an, so he hurried over, that is, on the third day of the first lunar month, I got the message." Gongsun Xun said slowly. "I asked him to blockade Tongguan, and then I raised an army to fight."

Huangfu Song suddenly remembered the situation when Gongsun Xun received the letter that day and stuffed the letter directly into his boots, on the one hand, he admired the other party's composure and resoluteness, and on the other hand, he was also convinced:

"Just one question...... Why not let the former general take the place of moderation? ”

"Because the former general couldn't hold back his fame, he only stationed here before, and he had communication with the hussar general and the Yuan family, not to mention that the war was decided? I'm afraid that the chaos in Luoyang is indispensable for his appearance. Gongsun Xun under the candle couldn't help but sneer. Actually, I don't have any prejudice against the former general, and I ...... him as he wants And doesn't care. And I don't really care about Luozhong. But before I go, I will never give authority to these people with my own hands. Otherwise, if they get into trouble in the future, will I not be accused of being a colleague? ”

Huangfu Song wanted to speak and stopped...... In fact, when it comes to the level of Huangfu Yizhen, how can you not see that Luoyang is going to be in trouble? Why don't you know that the world has been shaken? How can you not know that Dong Zhuo is rough and domineering? Therefore, the reason given by Gongsun Xun is really speechless.

And not only Dong Zhuo, in the same way, if these soldiers and horses are handed over to Gai Xun, who is completely loyal to the Son of Heaven, who knows if Gai Xun will do the old things of Zhang Huan that day after returning to Luoyang? And if it is handed over to Liu Biao and Bao Xin, who are the backbone of the party, God knows if it will also get out of control?

At this time, it was really his Huangfu Song who was the most appropriate.

"Just wait for Luo Zhong's will." After a long pause, Huangfu Song agreed. "If there is a dispatch in Luozhong, I will definitely hand over the soldiers and horses......"

"That's not my business." Gongsun Xun spread his hands and smiled. "Anyway, most of the emperor's fathers are just like me, and they don't want to get into this troubled water...... I will do with you all my army, just as you will. ”

Huangfu Song shook his head for a while, and then said goodbye directly, only waiting for Gongsun Xun to hand over in person in public tomorrow.

However, when the Zuo general returned to his station and hurriedly summoned his nephew Huangfu Li to give an explanation and ask him to prepare for the transfer of military power in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Fu Li was silent for a long time.

"What does that mean?" The elderly Huangfu Song had a great headache, so he could only helplessly ask with his forehead.

"Uncle." Huangfu Li thought about it again and again, gritted his teeth and said. "The former general did not accept you before, that is, to General Wei, before today's war, he was also quite resentful, tomorrow's handover, General Wei is here to preside, the situation must be worry-free. As soon as General Kewei leaves, the former general will inevitably be in turmoil, and maybe he will immediately recapture the old department! His old subordinates are all henchmen who have been raised by him for several years, how can they be controlled? ”

Huangfu Song immediately shook his head: "I'm just in charge of the soldiers and horses, as soon as Luozhong's order arrives, he will act according to the order, and his old department, take it back, take it back...... In a few days, will it be the other way around? ”

"What if Luo Zhong's will arrives, and his people still do their own thing?" Huangfu Li asked more than once.

"Then leave him alone." Huangfu Song shook his head again. "Dong Zhongying is not as stupid as you think, if he resists the order, he is either a general or Yuan Kui has an appointment with him, just like Gongsun Xun killed Zhao Yan in Hangu Pass before, he has his own fear...... What are we involved in this kind of thing? ”

Huangfu Li still has something to say: "Uncle, even if we don't want to do something in Luozhong like Dong Zhongying, we should learn from General Wei Mingzhe to protect ourselves, right?" ”

"You kid...... What does that mean exactly? Huangfu Song finally sighed helplessly.

"Gongsun Wenqi returns to Youzhou today...... Is it really just a matter of remembering the hometown? Huangfu Li gritted his teeth and asked. Youzhou is not anti-early or late, why is it anti-today? ”

"Naturally, it was because General Wei left that Xianbei and Wuhuan had different hearts there." Huangfu Song immediately refuted. "The DPRK already knew about this matter, but General Wei took the initiative to isolate the news in order to prevent the morale of the army from being shaken...... Don't talk nonsense! ”

"The bento is so good." Huangfu Li still has his own ideas. "But in my opinion, even if there is chaos in Youzhou, it may not be as terrible as Liangzhou, and its people are so anxious to return to their hometowns, I am afraid that there is still the intention of taking a break and watching the success or failure! When the situation in Luozhong collapses, he will inevitably bring the people of Youyan to Luozhong south to lay the ground! Maybe he will take the place of the general and monopolize the power! ”

"So what?" Huangfu Song sneered for a while. "Do you think I didn't think of this here?"

Huangfu Li was immediately stunned.

"Boy," Huangfu Song, whose eyes were red from staying up late, stared at his nephew and said slowly. "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't you just want me to take this opportunity to restrain Dong Zhuo, monopolize the 50,000 troops here, and then enter the Luozhong affair, retreat to protect Guanzhong and Pingliangzhou, and settle down for a while...... Right? ”

"Yes!" Huangfu Li reluctantly responded.

"Then do you know that a few years ago, Yan Shude, who was still my staff, persuaded me to call the south for the system?" Huangfu Song sneered more and more. "He said at that time that Liangzhou had reached a situation where it was inevitable to rebel, and if I could raise a large army to unite the rebels in Liangzhou, then the Huangfu clan could also do it on behalf of the Liu clan...... Isn't that three points better than what you have in mind today? ”

Huangfu Li became more and more overwhelmed.

"But I ask you." Huangfu Song continued to be full of ridicule and asked his nephew more than that. "If I really believed him that day, would you be in the Weishui today?"

Huangfu Li knelt down in embarrassment and pleaded guilty.

"You!" Seeing this, Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh. "Why Yan Shude committed suicide, I won't say much, you don't understand. Let's just talk about what you think...... According to what you said, the general wants to do things in Luozhong, the eunuchs want to do things in Luozhong, the party wants to do things in Luozhong, and then Dong Zhongying also wants to do it, and Gongsun Xun also wants to do it! And just now Gongsun Xun also revealed to me that he implied that the Yuan family also harbored evil intentions...... That being the case, there are so many people, and in the end, only one person can win, why is this person our Huangfu clan? What exactly do we have in the Huangfu Clan? What about 50,000 soldiers and horses, believe it or not, Gai Xun was the first to take away 5,000 people to defend Chang'an City? Then a holy decree in Beigong can disperse 20,000, and the general gives an order, and the Yuan family can run 20,000 letters again? In the end, General Wei led the people of Youyan to the south, and you have no soldiers and horses to resist! ”

Huangfu Li bowed his head in embarrassment and kowtowed.

"Needless to say." Huangfu Song finally simply shook his sleeves and said. "There's only one thing I regret today...... That is Dong Zhongying, Gongsun Wenqi, Yuan Benchu, and even the generals, in the end, only one person can die well, but an old man like me can go down in history as a famous general...... What a pity! ”

The emperor walked away.

"That's it."

The next morning, in the military tent, Gongsun Xun took his eyes off the stunned Xi Zhong, and glanced at the generals with different expressions below, but it was simply direct. "There are 50,000 troops here, and I am ready to entrust all powers and responsibilities to General Zuo, and you must listen to the order and wait for Luoyang to reward ......"

In the end, Gongsun Xun finally glanced at Dong Zhuo beside him.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo didn't move, and didn't say anything...... Obviously, the former general knew very well in his heart that after yesterday's big victory, Gongsun Xun had his own prestige, and he jumped out at this time, I am afraid that he can only hit a wall; On the other hand, when Gongsun Xun leaves, everything can be done, but there is no need to be so careful.

In fact, not only Dong Zhuo, but all the generals in the army were speechless, even Liu Biao and Gai Xun had nothing to say...... Gongsun Xun's refusal to give them military power is not only a precaution, but more importantly, from the perspective of rank, they are not qualified to take over this army.

"That's so." After looking around, Gongsun Xun no longer hesitated, but immediately got up and ordered. "The righteous prince leads three hundred righteous followers to follow me, don't make any extra preparations, and return home immediately. And Zitai (Tian Chou Zi) led the rest of the righteous to lead the wounded, settled in the back, healed the wounds, cleaned up the bones of the righteous congregation, and then returned to Youzhou It is not too late. ”

Han Dang and Tian Chou had already received the message last night and were prepared, so they immediately received the order.

After Gongsun Xun finished speaking, he simply raised his legs and left, and he actually wanted to set off immediately...... The generals, officers, and officials on both sides did not dare to slack off, and stood up one after another to salute each other.

It was Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, and it was rare for them to get up and bow at this time.

"Prince!" Before Gongsun Xun came out of the camp, Xu Rong was the first to be impatient. "Since Wuhuan rebelled, please allow me to return to my hometown with the prince......"

Next to him, Lu Bu wanted to speak and stopped.

"A little Wuhuan rebellion will inevitably succeed immediately, why do you need Bojin to accompany you?" Gongsun Xun stopped and didn't care. "Besides, in the past, I swore in Mengjin that sooner or later I would return to the center to do something big, and the oath of my husband's life was vain? When I pacify Liaoxi, I will return immediately. ”

Xu Rong, Lu Bu and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head and walked forward again, but when he came to the edge of the camp door, he couldn't help but take the initiative to stop at a person: "Acquaintance, the road ahead is long, doesn't Wen He have anything to say to me?" ”

"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Jia Xu worked harder and bowed down. "Subordinates try to ......"

"You say."

"If the prince comes back late, he can naturally enter Jizhou from Youzhou to Hanoi; But if you come early, you might as well go and merge. Jia Xu said without raising his head.

"That's interesting." Gongsun Xun was half disappointed, half casually sighed.

Then, in the end, the person went out of the account.

Everyone chased out of the tent and saw that Han Dang had led three hundred righteous followers, but he had dispatched more than 1,000 white war horses from the army, as if there were more than one person and four horsemen, and they had already been packed up and tied...... Xi Zhong was groggy and the last one got on the horse, and then the more than 1,000 white horses walked slowly along Weishui under the early spring sun.

At this time, it is impossible to start at a speed, because the blood stains on the bank of Weishui have not dried, the corpses have not been burned, and the swords and soldiers have not been collected. After traveling for several miles and walking out of the range of the battlefield, the whole army started to speed up, but it was running wildly all the way, and before it got dark in the evening, it turned to the north in Meiyang, so that it deviated from Weishui.

"Prince!" camping at night, as soon as he got off the horse, Xi Zhong ignored the two tremors and reluctantly asked. "Where is this going?"

"The Yellow River is icing." Gongsun Xun turned around and supported the other party and replied calmly. "Just in case, we have to cross the pontoon bridge from Pujin."

"Is there really something going on in Youzhou?" Xi Zhong was sweating profusely. "I thought the prince was joking, but the son of heaven in Luozhong was dead, so I got out of ......"

"It's really something going on in Youzhou." Gongsun Xun chuckled. "But you don't need to care, the Wuhuan people are not enough to worry, but because of the traffic partition in eastern and western Liaoning, they have to go back to dredge one or two...... As for the Son of Heaven, I now hope that he will die a few days later. ”

Xi Zhicai immediately sighed.

"I originally concluded that Gongsun Wenqi would go back?" At the same time, outside the Yuyuan Pass, in a pavilion, Xu Yu could not hide his curiosity.

"Gongsun Wenqi will definitely leave!" Yuan Shao, who was on the opposite side of the case, was slightly drunk with a wine glass, and sighed slightly when he heard the words. "Because he's different from me...... My foundation is my family reputation and reputation, which are rooted in Luoyang, but his foundation is soldiers and horses, and money, which are all in the place, so he will definitely return to his hometown immediately to deal with the rebellion of Wuhuan and Xianbei, just as I must return to Luoyang to complete the things I have been planning for several years. ”

"Over there in Runan, we did a good job." Xu You shook his head helplessly. "If you stay for a longer period of time, you may not be able to use local forces for your own use."

"Gongsun Xun is also doing well in Guanzhong." Yuan Shao replied easily. "Had it not been for this sudden fire in the rear, his man would have won a great victory and would have grown in fame...... I can't put it off any longer! ”

"But I'm afraid, Gongsun Xun is good at using soldiers, and if you go to Youzhou, you can easily return, but the Son of Heaven is still supporting......" Xu Yu said. What then? ”

"So, how can he not die if he is a single husband?" Yuan Shao finally became angry and threw the wine glass on top of several cases. "Doesn't he know that the world has wanted him to die for a long time?!"

"Youzhou is in turmoil, Taizu wants to calm the chaos, so he belongs to the whole army to the left general Huangfu Song. Before leaving, Zhuo Yu heard it in the army, humbly and timidly, and sent it off respectfully. The next day, when the Taizu came out of Pujin, he was overjoyed, and called the old Li Dao and others to stand on their own and not to be in tune with the Song system. β€”The Book of Old Swallows, Volume 62, Column 12
