In a merciless war, time is the most ruthless.

In 184 A.D., the autumn of the seventh year of Han Guanghe.

On August 24, civil strife broke out in the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang City, and some of the powerful marshals launched a rebellion, trying to hold the Digong general Zhang Bao hostage and surrender to the Han army outside the city, but it triggered a military conflict in the city.

The Yellow Turban Army, loyal to Zhang Bao, and the wavering Yellow Turban Army carried out a large-scale firefight, and the result was that the Han army entered the city in a big way, and in desperation, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army loyal to Zhang Bao and the drunken Digong General set fire to themselves on the high platform in the city, preferring to die rather than surrender.

In the past, more than 100,000 troops were combined, crisscrossing the northern part of Hebei, and the Yellow Turban of Zhang Baobu, who swept the six counties, was destroyed.

However, it may be because the really decisive battle has ended on the banks of the Hutuo River long ago, and this battle is boring, especially the suicide of Zhang Bao and a considerable number of leaders, so that there are not many decent military achievements.

Of course, fortunately, the treasury in the city of Xiaquyang was not affected too much, and the goods that gathered in the six counties were easily accepted by the Han army, and then the five senses Zhonglang General was still generous, and with a wave of his hand, except for the extra money and grain left for Guo Dian, the giant deer Taishou, the rest of the goods were almost all rewarded.

For a time, the hearts of the troops inside and outside the city were boiling.

On August 26, without waiting for Gongsun Xun's good news to enter the center, Dong Zhuo of Guangzong in the south officially handed over to Huangfu Song, who hurried over from Runan, and honestly got into the threshold car and headed for Luoyang...... This is something that can't be helped, when Dong Zhongying came up and made a strategic miscalculation, resulting in the completion of the siege progress, this end was basically doomed.

What awaits him is undoubtedly the same fate as Teacher Lu Zhilu - reduce his death, and wait for amnesty with peace of mind!

When the news came, Gongsun Xun had no choice but to make another routine recital, asking for preferential treatment for the former Dong Fangbo with his own merits.

On the fourth day of the first month of September, the envoy of the imperial court arrived, and did not mention any rewards and merits, but asked Gongsun Xun to quickly raise troops to the south and encircle Zhangjiao with Huangfu Song.

It can be seen that the imperial court is really impatient to wait...... After all, Zhang Jiao will not die for a day, and the center will be unstable for a day. And now, the more to the end, the more restless the Son of Heaven and the center become.

On September 7, after bidding farewell to Feng Xin, the prime minister of Changshan, and entrusting the public and private leaders, including the Zhen clan, to the other party, Gongsun Xun and Julu Taishou Guo Dian, and the school captains Cheng Pu and Zong Yuan together led 30,000 elite soldiers and went straight to Guangzong.

However, to everyone's surprise and speechlessness, on the second day of Gongsun Xun's departure, that is, on the eighth day of the first month of September, the overall situation of Guangzong suddenly had some meaning of settled!

Huangfu Song didn't expect that only a few days after he came to Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao died!

It's black humor!

In a few months, 300,000 or 400,000 troops were raised, from south to north and from east to west, so that the leader of Taiping Dao, who was known as Fu Shui to save hundreds of thousands of people, died of illness.

A few months ago, there were still thousands of people who firmly believed that this person could overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish the Huangtian Foundation...... But at this time, this person turned into a cold corpse in Guangzong City.

There was a lot of silence inside and outside the city, the crying was shocking, and it was impossible to do this, and seeing Zhang Liang abandon the outer camp and hurriedly enter the city, Huangfu Song, as a veteran of a hundred battles, immediately woke up to the fact that the fighter had arrived!

You must know that at this time, the Han army under the city had an army of 40,000 brought by Lu Zhi at the beginning; Then Dong Zhuo brought another 10,000 Xiliang soldiers; Now Huangfu Song has brought more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from Runan...... With a total of nearly 70,000 troops, the strength is not weak! In addition, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers and even the Qiang troops also have special respect for Huangfu Song of the Xiliang famous family, so there is no problem of uncoordinated command.

So, in the early morning of that night, Huangfu Song sent his army straight to the Yellow Turban military camp located in Qinghe and Guangzong City outside the city.

As I said before, half of the 100,000 people were in the city with Zhang Jiao, and half were outside the city with Zhang Liang, relying on each other. At this time, as soon as Zhang Jiao was newly mourned, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city was desperate; Second, the commander Zhang Liang had just entered the city at this time, and there was no real commander outside the city; Third, at this time, the comparison of the strength of the two armies has indeed reached a certain point, and it is still a night attack.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated in the first battle, with more than 50,000 people outside the city, no less than 20,000 killed in the battle, no less than 10,000 escaped, and the rest ...... chose to turn around and go to the boundary river between Qinghe Country and Julu County outside the city, and the Qinghe River where Qinghe Country was named, went to the river and died.

After this war, although Zhang Liang still led tens of thousands of people to defend Guangzong, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had been effectively quelled.

In the final analysis, this has nothing to do with the military, it is really Zhang Jiao's death, which made the vast majority of the Yellow Turban Army lose the meaning of survival and struggle. Without him, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was destined to disappear quickly under the blows of the Han army.

And it was under such a circumstance that in mid-September, Gongsun Xun led troops to the city of Guangzong.

The flags of the 30,000 troops from the north fluttered in the wind, and the war horses, baggage vehicles, and sergeants continued for more than ten miles, and they arrived at their destination under the complicated eyes of the Yellow Turban Army and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the official army inside and outside Guangzong City, and immediately began to set up camp.

As for the coach Gongsun Xun, he didn't have time to greet him, so he met Huangfu Song at the first time, and the two Zhonglang who had cooperated once without embarrassment or embarrassment would go straight to a mountain under the city to watch the situation.

"Wen Qi and look." The two generals wore cloaks, rode high-headed horses, and led their subordinates' henchmen, personal guards, honor guards, banners and horses to a dirt mountain. "Guangzong City has been besieged by your mentor Lu Gong and Dong Zhonglang to General Dong Gong, but it is actually crumbling...... Just waiting for you to come, let's go down. ”

Gongsun Xun Lema observed carefully, and then bowed his head slightly in agreement.

After all, Huangfu Song is telling the truth...... Some things are visible to the naked eye.

With the help of the fortifications built by Lu Zhi when he was there, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song re-besieged it, which made the previously strong Guangzong City now dilapidated.

As far as the eye can see, the whole city is a withering, the simple protective fortifications on the city wall are almost lost, and the defensive section is serious, Gongsun Xun, who has used the earth mountain once in Xiaquyang, knows this situation well, as if he knows that this is the result of the Han army's projectile suppression from the earth mountain.

In addition, Gongsun Xun even saw a piece of the city wall, and the whole city seemed to be crumbling.

"That's the tunnel." Seeing this, Huangfu Song pointed to the city wall and spoke. "Under the cover of the dirt mountain, we dug a tunnel, and then piled firewood in the tunnel, and the foundation of that section of the city wall was already burning."

"The Emperor has actually done his best." When Gongsun Xun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "My help is like adding to it."

Huangfu Song also shook his head and smiled, but he didn't deny it, because it was really unnecessary: "It's just a fluke, who would have thought that Zhang Jiao would suddenly die of illness?" As soon as he dies, everything is over, which shows that the mandate of heaven is not in Han. ”

As soon as these words came out, for some reason, Gongsun Xun rarely had a sense of gloom and emotion, so the autumn wind was blowing, and the two generals were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Gongsun Xun continued to ask: "In this case, does the Emperor Fu have any ideas and arrangements?" End this battle as soon as possible to give Luoyang an explanation! ”

"yes, I do have an idea." Huangfu Song slowly bowed his head. "Wen Qi, before Lu Gong ordered the whole army to surround this city, it was because the north had its own Xiaquyang to rely on each other, and he was worried that his generation would flee directly to join Zhang Bao, and the chaos would be chaotic. And now, Zhang Bao is dead, Xia Quyang has been decided, and there are so many cavalry you brought to rely on, so it doesn't matter so many things. I intend to let go of Guangzong's siege on three sides, and then concentrate the elite of the whole army to storm this city wall, and force the 50,000 troops of the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Liang in the city to go to Zhanghe and Juluze, and then hand them over to your cavalry to chase and kill...... What do you think? ”

Gongsun Xun thought for a moment and immediately understood what the other party meant.

In fact, at this point in the battle situation, there is no problem no matter how you fight, and even the post-event rewards for the commanders at the level of Gongsun Xun and Huangfu Song are no problem...... From the center, it is very simple, Gongsun Xun slaughtered Zhang Bao, Huangfu Song forced Zhang Jiao to death, and the rest of the credit did not have much impact on these two generals.

What really needs to be considered is the mentality of the men.

Huangfu Song, the 20,000 soldiers who transferred from Yingchuan to Runan and then here are not enough, but the 40,000 Han troops and 10,000 Xiliang troops who have been stumbling under the city have nothing...... There is no reward, no merit, only hard work.

Therefore, this big city, which gathers the wealth and goods of Wei County, Julu County, Anping Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom and other places, and supplies the logistics of 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, needs to be given to these soldiers to make a fortune.

It's a bit barbaric to say, but it's helpless. And Huangfu Song's arrangement not only takes into account the division of the spoils of war, but also takes into account the reasonable distribution of the war, which can indeed be called comprehensive.

At the same time, Gongsun Xun, who had already fed his subordinate troops, seemed to have no reason or room for opposition.

"I heard that there are some Qiang people in Guangzong's army?" Gongsun Xun, who was relieved, was about to agree, but he remembered the description of the letter Xu Rong, Cao Cao and others gave him after Lu Bu showed great power before, and then suddenly frowned and asked.

"Yes!" Huangfu Song was inexplicable. "It was brought by Dong Zhongying after recruiting soldiers and horses from Xiliang before...... There are not many people, and the Xiliang cavalry is mixed with a team, two or three thousand people! ”

"Let's send me as a chaser!" Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. "After all, there are still 50,000 Yellow Turban troops in the city, and once they escape, it will be difficult to do their best......"

"That generation can be regarded as a hard siege ......" Huangfu Song was slightly stunned, but then smiled bitterly. Why did Wen Qi do this? If there is a shortage of cavalry, I will give you all the cavalry guards I brought from Runan. ”

"As long as the Qiang soldiers!" Gongsun Xun did not back down. "General, don't pretend to be confused, don't you really know my intentions? What if these aliens are addicted to it, they have developed a rebellious heart, and they rebel as soon as they go back? If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, this is something I have learned since I was a child in Liaoxi! If the emperor thinks they are hard, he can reward them with some goods in advance, or I can reward them, but you can't indulge them in the heart of the Han family! ”

This time it was Huangfu Song's turn to be silent.

However, after a while, the person finally nodded reluctantly: "Wen Qi is so straightforward, I have nothing to say, but there is a word first, I am from Liangzhou, you are from Youzhou, so some things are not what you think...... As far as we Liangzhou people are concerned, the Qiang and Han people have actually lived together among the people for a long time, and you can't help but treat them as human beings. Moreover, this time they are serving the country after all, and the distinction between friend and foe is clear. ”

"I'm not going to be so unreasonable." Gongsun Xun sighed. "The Emperor doesn't have to worry about me killing them all halfway...... After all, I am a national sergeant who serves my country, and I am not like this. ”

Huangfu Song smiled embarrassedly...... But I won't say more.

"Wouldn't Zhonglang with five senses cover his ears and steal the bell by doing this?" Just when the two festival commanders agreed on a strategy and wanted to turn around and return to their respective camps, a scribe next to him suddenly couldn't bear it anymore. "Don't we Liangzhou people understand the affairs of Liangzhou, do we have to teach the general? Do you know that since Sanming, Liangzhou, Liangzhou's so-called repeated chaos, among which the Han people are the majority? If you think that we Xiliang people are not loyal, then don't just care about the two or three thousand Qiang cavalry, I am afraid that it is appropriate to take away the ten thousand Xiliang soldiers and my family's monarch, as well as me, a weak man! Moreover, the decline of the Han dynasty and the turmoil in the hinterland of the Central Plains and Hebei are not well known? Isn't there any ambitious person in the other twelve states who sees such a situation and has distracting thoughts about the Han family? ”

It was an acquaintance Yan Zhong who spoke, and his words were extremely unkind, and it can even be said that his words were inevitably filled with too much resentment, which can be called extremely rude.

Lu Fan, Lou Gui and the others who came with them were fine, but they just looked at this person with interest, while Han Dang and the other warriors couldn't help but look at him angrily. However, this person was not afraid, and many Xiliang guards with this Huangfu Song rushed forward to protect this person.

However, the most interesting thing is the attitude of Huangfu Song and Gongsun Xun, these two have clearly made an agreement, but at this time, they actually let their subordinate warriors fight like this...... Obviously, when it comes to the reputation of his hometown, even if he is as gentle as Huangfu Yizhen, he is by no means as amiable as he appears on the surface.

As for Gongsun Xun, he doesn't know what to rely on.

After a confrontation, Gongsun Xun took the lead in laughing and said:

"Huangfu Gong, I heard that Zhu Gong over there in Nanyang has to do his best to do his best, and I think that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will soon be peaceful. However, although the yellow scarf is fixed, but this autumn harvest is scarce, and the turbulent phenomenon of the world has been revealed...... You and I are in charge of the army, and we need to explain to the people of the world...... May the public do its own thing. ”

After that, Gongsun Xun no longer cared, but directly turned around and walked away, leaving the other party grim on the dirt mountain.

After a while, Huangfu Song probably found it boring, so he led his troops back to the camp.

However, after entering the account, Yan Zhong, who was still menacing before, suddenly withdrew from the sergeant in the tent, and asked people to guard the left and right carefully, and then said something earth-shattering to the somewhat tired Huangfu Song.

"Prince!" Yan Zhong actually turned his anger into joy at this time. "Do you see it, even people like Gongsun Xun feel that the Han family is in danger of falling into decline, and his people seem to be loyal and abnormal, but in fact, when he said this, it shows that his heart is also uneasy about the situation, so that his heart is shaken and his heart is uneasy...... This is a godsend! ”

Huangfu Song slowly raised his head, glanced at this famous person of his township party expressionlessly, and then asked softly, "Where did you get any good opportunities?" ”

"Prince!" Yan Zhong's expression was hideous, and he hit the nail on the head. "Today's good use of soldiers is nothing more than the prince and the five officials of the general, and the world's elite soldiers, now the general has 70,000 elites, and the only warlike division in Hebei is 30,000 on his side, and it is not impossible to win over...... That being the case, why not break the horns first, win the hope of the world, and then weigh the system in the south, and allow General Baima to join forces in the land of Youzhou, and then enter the world, and then divide Hebei? The lord is in Luo, like a man on his back, and the general with five senses is still uneasy, let alone a general with higher virtue and merit? ”

Huangfu Song looked at his own township party, and suddenly smiled: "My Huangfu Song has worked hard all night, and I never dare to forget the word loyalty in my heart, so why should I be uneasy?" ”

Yan Zhong also shook his head and smiled: "Junhou, although the words of the five senses Zhonglang today are a little unkind, they are also full of people's hearts...... Do you know that my brother sent a letter from the township, bluntly saying that Liangzhou is raging and will be reversed this winter? After autumn, it's winter, right? ”

Huangfu Song changed color for a while.

At the same time, in the northern military camp where the camp was built, Lou Zibo couldn't bear it, and finally praised Gongsun Xun in public: "The prince sells a good flaw!" ”

Gongsun Xun sneered, ignoring the flattery of his confidants, however, in the bleak autumn breeze, facing the great rivers and mountains in front of him, he slowly became solemn.

——————I am the dividing line of the southern scale——————

"Taizu both leveled Quyang, then entered Guangzong, united with Emperor Fu Song, and joined forces with 100,000 troops. When Zhang Jiao was dead, Nanyang gradually flattened, and everyone in the world knew that the Yellow Turban was coming. At night, Song's confidant, so the letter ordered Yan Zhong to see Taizu, but said: 'Those who are rare and easy to lose, the time is also; When it comes to those who don't spin their heels, a few also. Therefore, the saint moves with the times, and the wise man is born because of the times. Today, the general is using rare luck and taking the opportunity to be frightened, and he does not care for his luck and does not send the opportunity, how can he keep his name? Taizu asked slowly, "What do you mean?" 'Loyal to the pair said: "Today, the only good fighters are the general and the emperor, and the elite soldiers in the world are also in the second monarch, if the second monarch takes the yellow scarf first and wins the prestige of the world, then the mediocre lord will be disturbed, and the general's heart is at peace?" Taizu smiled and said: "I have been in the office all night, and I have never forgotten my loyalty, why am I uneasy?" 'Loyal and ashamed. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
