Chapter 121: Liangzhou is in turmoil
Huangfu Song has always been steady with his troops, and after sending his troops, he fought steadily and steadily, gradually advancing, Dong Zhuo was not convinced, and he led his troops to advance and was defeated by Han Sui.
At this time, Zhang Rang, the regular servant, asked Huang Fu Song for a bribe, but Huang Fu Song refused to give it, and when he was conscripting the Yellow Turban before, Huang Fu Song also reported to the emperor that Zhao Zhong had violated the rules.
Therefore, the two eunuchs joined forces to falsely accuse Huangfu Song of fighting for a long time without success, wasting money and food in vain, and being proud of his achievements, and Dong Zhuo did not help Huangfu Song explain.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty listened to the rumors, recalled Huangfu Song from Sanfu, removed his left chariot general, and made him a marquis of the capital.
When Lu Bu heard about this, he recommended himself to He Jin, saying that he was willing to lead troops to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, which was of course a good excuse for Lu Bu to get involved in Liangzhou.
However, there are also people in the DPRK who understand, and He Jin's staff, including Yuan Shao and others, are strongly opposed to allowing Lu Bu to participate in the Liangzhou War.
It is not a problem to quell the rebellion with the combat power of the Bingzhou army, but I am afraid that Lu Bu will stay in Liangzhou and not leave. In fact, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong may not have Li Su behind them, which is also Jia Xu's idea.
It's a pity that the current imperial court, from the emperor to He Jin, is very vigilant against Lu Bu, and they must not watch Lu Bu continue to expand their power.
In the end, it dragged on for two months, and the imperial court appointed Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot cavalry, and on the fake festival, Yuan Peng of Jinwu was appointed as the deputy general, and once again named Dong Zhuo as the general of the prisoner, and served under Zhang Wen together with Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou.
After Zhang Wen mobilized the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the largest gathering of troops of the Han army, a total of more than 100,000 infantry cavalry from various states and counties, stationed in Meiyang, to defend the royal mausoleum.
Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other rebel leaders heard that Zhang Wen's army was stationed in Meiyang, so they also led troops to be stationed in Meiyang, and the two armies confronted each other.
The two sides met for the first time, and the powerful Qianghu cavalry had a slight upper hand, and the Han army lost the first battle.
Zhang Wen summoned Dong Zhuo with a holy decree, and Dong Zhuo delayed for a long time to go to Jin to see Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen blamed Dong Zhuo for the unfavorable war, Dong Zhuo did not admit his mistake and confronted Zhang Wen.
Sun Jian, who was Zhang Wen's army at the time, privately persuaded Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo to establish his prestige, and Dong Zhuo was not summoned to arrive, which was violating military discipline, and it was reasonable and legal to kill him.
Zhang Wen thought that Dong Zhuo had always had prestige in Liangzhou, and killing Dong Zhuo might affect the cause of counterinsurgency.
The two armies were in a stalemate until October, when one night a meteor streaked across the sky and shone on the rebel camp, and the rebel cattle were frightened and hissed.
Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others thought that this was a bad omen and prepared to withdraw from the army, and the army was discouraged.
Dong Zhuo learned of this news from the rebels, so that Bao Hong could attack together, defeat the rebels, and behead thousands of people.
The rebels retreated to Yuzhong County in Jincheng County, Liangzhou, and Zhang Wen sent Zhou Shen with 30,000 men to pursue Yuzhong.
Dong Zhuo asked to assist Zhou Shen, but Zhang Wen refused, and Zhang Wen sent Dong Zhuo to lead 30,000 men to crusade against the rebel tribe Xian Lingqiang.
Zhou Shen did not listen to Sun Jian's advice, cut off the enemy's grain route, and went to besiege Yuzhong City, but was cut off by Bian Zhang and Han Sui, discarded the baggage, and was defeated and returned.
Dong Zhuo's crusade against Xian Lingqiang was not smooth, he was surrounded first, and then escaped by luck, but he kept his whole body out.
Zhang Wen's pacification process was not smooth, but the biggest difference between him and Huangfu Song was that he was willing to spend money to deal with He Jin and Zhang Rang, and he could not offend the two major forces.
was even worshiped as a lieutenant in Chang'an, becoming the first third duke to lead the army, and was very trusted by the emperor.
During the year that the war in Liangzhou continued, Lu Bu paid attention to it all the time, and all the war reports would be put on his book case as soon as possible.
He has coveted Liangzhou for a long time, Liangzhou soldiers can fight well, and Liangzhou is also a good place to produce talents.
It is a pity that at this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty court was already on guard against Ding Yuan, Lu Bu and his son, and would never allow their rights to continue to expand.
Lu Bu could only lay out the layout by himself, Jizhou laid two nails, Youzhou supported Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu to fight for power, and Qingzhou also buried a good chess hand of Tiger Face and Tang Zhou.
Let's wait for the situation to change! If you are in a hurry, God will eventually favor those who are prepared.
In a year's time, the third phase of the Shaling Military Academy has been enrolled and classes have begun.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici both graduated from the second phase smoothly, and their grades were quite good, and both of them received silver medals, which is already the best. There were no students with full honors among the graduates of the second batch, and the second Yu Ban did not appear.
Gao Shun completely recovered from his wounds and commanded the troops of the Rong 1st Division to participate in the military operation to quell the Qiang rebellion in Bingzhou.
easily defeated the coalition composed of multiple Qiang tribes, and then, according to Lu Bu's guiding ideology, he did not go on a killing spree, but pacified and won over the Qiang tribes.
Help them solve the practical difficulties in their lives, such as the problem of food shortage, so that the rebel Qiang people will be convinced, sincerely surrender, and never rebel again.
In this year, Lu Feifei also gave birth to a son to Gao Shun, and Lu Bu envied Gao Shun, saying that he was double happy and asked him to have a drink.
Gao Shun asked Lu Bu to name his son, and Lu Bu thought about it again and again, and gave the child a name, called Gao Qi, which has its own meaning.
Not only did Gao Shun have children, but Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Fang Yue and others also got married and had children during this time, which made Lu Bu not embarrassed.
Although Lu Bu is actually only 22 years old this year, the ancients got married and had children early, and Ding Yuan and Second Uncle Lu had already urged him to get married.
Lu Bu also thought, he had already asked Ding Yuan, He Jin and others to ask Wang Yun for him, and wanted to ask Wang Yun to marry his daughter Chan'er to himself, but the gifts were loosened a lot, and he didn't know what this Wang Yun was for, so he always shirked it for various reasons.
Lu Bu wanted Li Su to snatch Chan'er back to the state, so he had to exchange more letters with Chan'er and confide in the pain of lovesickness, and Chan'er also made it clear that Lu Bu would not marry in this life.
God is watching, and in this year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people of Tuntian have already harvested their second batch of grain, and naturally it is a bumper harvest.
In addition to their own use, they also handed in a large amount of grain, and the nomadic troops who entered the steppe also benefited a lot.
They don't have to worry about the impact of heavy snow in winter like the grassland tribes, and they have already built official roads into the grassland, so that the grassland's fur, beef and mutton, and ore can be continuously sent back to the grassland, and they can also send the grain, salt, and tea of the grassland to the grassland in time.
Therefore, the nomadic troops of the Han army grazing on the grassland have no worries at all, and after eating and drinking all day long, in addition to fighting various ethnic groups, they are pressing their own women to make the next generation.
They really did what Lu Bu said, each Han man married five or six women, and gave birth to ten or eight sons.
The more slaves were caught, the more military merits they made in battle, and the more rewards they received.
The Han army that initially chose to graze cattle was only 2,000 people, that is, 2,000 households, and another 6,000 civilians also chose to live as herdsmen.
And now the Han army, which was grazing on the steppe, had increased to 4,000 men, organized into four regiments, and still established settlements in companies.
In addition to some of the new Han soldiers who were veterans of the Bingzhou Army who had been rewarded for their meritorious service, there were also some prisoners captured in the Yellow Turban Rebellion who joined the Bingzhou Army after education. Similarly, more soldiers from the Yellow Turban Rebellion chose Tuntian.
