Xiang Ao seems to have forgotten Jiang Lu, who has been with him for a long time, and has not asked for credit for him, and has been placed in a heavy position.

Not so, Jiang Lu has been following Xiang Ao for several years. After the establishment of the Northern Regions, he helped Xiang Ao a lot in the shadows. Originally, Xiang Ao wanted to show Jiang Lu in front of people, but Jiang Lu was used to handling intelligence for Xiang Ao and was reluctant to appear in front of people. Neither of them expected that today's Jiang Lu would be Xiang Ao's secretly ruthless killing weapon in the future.

In February of the sixth year of Zhongping, the right Fufeng Yi County.

"General Huangfu, Chen Cang has been besieged by the kingdom's soldiers and horses for more than ten days, why haven't we rescued him!" Dong Zhuo was very anxious at this time, and he was very dissatisfied with such a calm Huangfu Song in his heart.

"Vice General Dong, don't worry, since last year, it has been snowing heavily, and the kingdom's soldiers and horses cannot enter. Now that the snow has cleared, the army will attack, and in the general's opinion, it will not take too long for the kingdom's soldiers and horses to retreat from exhaustion. Huangfu Song said with great confidence: "In this case, why did we waste heavy grain and grass, and let the soldiers risk death?" ”

"But Chen Cang is an important place, if the generals in the city are defeated, how about letting the kingdom's soldiers and horses enter Sanfu again?"

"If you are in a hurry, even if Chen Cang is broken, the responsibility will be borne by the general!" Huangfu Song was a little tired of Dong Zhuo's nagging for a few days, and said in a slightly louder voice.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, a sullen breath suddenly rose in his heart, his face turned red, and he secretly begged in his heart: What an emperor, if it weren't for Er Nai being the commander of the imperial court canonization this time, he would have made Er look good. I want to see how you will deal with yourself after Chen Cang is broken! Dong Zhuo flicked his sleeves and left the tent angrily.

"Humph!" Huangfu Song's face was not too good-looking, and he snorted lightly. In Huangfu Song's view, although Dong Zhuo is a famous general in Xiliang, he is powerful in the Western Regions. But now it is the place of subordination, he Emperor Fu Song has been leading the army for a long time, and he is just recruiting the rebels, and he is also able to capture it, but it is the best policy to surrender the soldiers without a fight. Dong Zhuo is just a reckless man in the west, what do you know?

"Uncle, Dong Zhuo is arrogant and rude, uncle has to be careful!" Huangfu Li, the nephew of the middle son of the Huangfu Song clan, said with some concern on the side.

"It's okay!" Huangfu Song said with a smug face: "Dong Zhuo's merits are extraordinary, and a little arrogance is inevitable, I am the main general, don't worry." ”

"Also, this is in the army, and you can't call it arbitrarily!" Huang Fu Song reacted and turned to reprimand Huang Fu Li.

"A certain general is guilty, and I am willing to lead the general to punish him!" Huangfu Li also reacted, knelt on one knee, and hugged his fists.

Huangfu Song saw that Huangfu Li was so modest and taught, and he was not angry in his heart, so he said: "But you can't do it again!" “

"General Xie, a certain general remembers!" Huangfu Li clenched his fists again and said loudly.

If the guards on both sides of the tent are not seen, they still look straight ahead, and protect Huangfu Song competently.

Dong Zhuo, who returned to his camp, was furious.

"Bang!" Dong Zhuo angrily smashed the teapot on the ground and said in a deep voice: "What an emperor, he thinks he has made outstanding achievements, so he doesn't take the general in his eyes?" ”

"I'm angry!" Dong Zhuo's anger did not subside, and he took out the long knife and cut it on top of a few pieces, and the one made of good mahogany was cut off in response to a few sounds.

"General!" Hearing this, the guards outside the tent rushed into the tent and shouted anxiously.

"It's okay, Ben will try the blade!" Dong Zhuo didn't look back, and replied in a deep voice. Seeing this, the guards had nothing else to do, so they put down the curtain in confusion and retreated outside the tent.

"Lord!" As soon as the guards retreated, Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong stepped into Dong Zhuo's account.

"Oh? It's Ah Xiong! Dong Zhuo turned around and saw that the person who came was Hua Xiong, who loved him, and he was in a better mood.

"Why is the lord so angry?" Although Hua Xiong is very arrogant, he is very good at caring with everyone around him, especially Dong Zhuo, who has the grace of knowing things.

Dong Zhuo bowed his hand, walked to the tent and sat down to kneel and said, "It's okay, but I'm just angry with the old man!" ”

When Hua Xiong heard this, he nodded and didn't ask any more, but just possessed himself and began to clean up the mess in the account.

"What did Ah Xiong do? These little things can be cleaned up by the soldiers recently! Seeing this, Dong Zhuo hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, concerned about Huaxiongdao.

Hua Xiong smiled, looked a little stunned and said: "The soldier is clumsy, I am afraid that it will hurt the lord's mind even more." Xiong is not a child of a family who comes to reach out for clothes, so it doesn't hurt to clean up! ”

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo smiled very warmly. I am not blessed. Dong Zhuo sighed secretly in his heart: Hey, I met Ah Xiong too late, otherwise it would be a happy event to marry my daughter to Ah Xiong.

Dong Zhuo has a lot of generals. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, as well as his son-in-law Niu Fu, plus his favorite Hua Xiong, are all unparalleled generals in the world. In fact, Dong Zhuo is also extremely satisfied with Niu Fu, loyal, brave, and his ability to lead soldiers is also acceptable, but he is too simple on weekdays, Dong Zhuo is what he is, and he is not as clever as Huaxiong.

As for Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, they are similar in age to Dong Zhuo, and they are more like brothers. Of course, Dong Zhuo also has a son, named Dong Yue, who is not as good as the crown. Arrogant and domineering, with no strengths, Dong Zhuo can't wait to kick into his mother's womb and start over. This also caused Dong Zhuo to like Hua Xiong very much, if it weren't for Hua Xiong's background being too poor, he would have accepted Hua Xiong as his righteous son. The plot is old-fashioned, Hua Xiong was rescued by Dong Zhuo in the heavy snow in the land of Kansai, and he did not repay the grace of recreation, so he planned to follow Dong Zhuo in this life.

After Hua Xiong finished cleaning up the mess in the tent, Dong Zhuo beckoned Hua Xiong to sit down beside him and said, "Can you adapt to the place where you are subordinate?" There must be no such hometown, right? ”

"It's okay, as long as you can follow the lord and serve the left and right, the male is satisfied!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes were a little moist, and he patted Hua Xiong's shoulder vigorously and said no more.

Sure enough, as Huangfu Song expected, in less than ten days, the tired kingdom soldiers and horses were ready to withdraw. The Han army that got the military intelligence was excited, and the war was finally coming to an end.

"Haha, God help me!" Huang Fu Song invited a group of generals to discuss, and after analyzing the military situation, Huang Fu Song couldn't help laughing.

"This kind of climate is the most melting of snow and ice. Whether it is a mountain or a plain, it is all muddy, not to mention the march, even if the people come and go on weekdays, it is extremely inconvenient. Withdraw at this time, and you really die! Huangfu Song said with a little excitement: "You can order the whole army to pursue the kingdom rout!" ”

"General, no!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "It is inconvenient for the rebels to march, and it is even more difficult for our army to pursue. There is a cloud in the art of war: don't chase the poor, don't force the public! ”

"The rebels are demoralized, not to the masses and poor, but to the rout!" Huangfu Song didn't care either, and continued: "If Vice General Dong is worried, you can lead the troops behind the palace, and you don't have to lead the troops to take risks in front!" ”

After Huangfu Song finished speaking, he looked at Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face was extremely ugly, and he secretly hated in his heart: Huangfu Lao'er, what do you mean? Yanwu Dong Zhuo is timid and afraid of death? Yanwu Dong Zhuo doesn't understand Jun Strategy? The angry Dong Zhuo was about to argue with reason, but unexpectedly, the emperor said loudly: "Give the order to the whole army, you can straighten out the baggage, and get on the horse to chase and kill the enemy." Vice General Dong covered the rear and promised us comfort! ”

"No!" After Huangfu Song gave the order, the generals in the tent answered the order loudly, so that Dong Zhuo had no chance to speak again.

In a moment, Huangfu Song led a general to stride out of the tent, reorganizing his troops and horses and planning to immediately pursue the cavalry. Dong Zhuo's face turned red, and the green tendons around his neck were fully displayed. Looking at the back of Huangfu Song leaving, Dong Zhuo's eyes were almost on fire, and he looked like he was going to swallow Huangfu Song alive.

Huangfu Song led the most elite northern army of the Han Dynasty, not only the soldiers were brave, but the armor was also extremely sophisticated, even the elite of Xiang Ao's Northern Territory Army was only so. The soldiers and horses were quickly assembled, the infantry and cavalry returned to their respective teams, and there was no sign of chaos, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that were originally black were neatly divided into several phalanxes in less than a stick of incense.

"We are the Northern Army of the Great Han Dynasty, the front of Your Majesty's soldiers, and today the rebellious kingdom wants to flee after raiding Your Majesty's territory, what should we do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The voice of the soldier of the Northern Army was extremely calm, as if he was completely emotionless. But hearing Dao's calm shouts silenced the entire camp, and it seemed that the wind had stopped.

The emperor stood on top of the war horse, and when he saw the military appearance like this, he was also expressionless.

"The whole army pursues and serves the great man!"

"Serve the Great Man! Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

Under the leadership of Huangfu Song, the northern army disappeared between the camps after a while, leaving only Dong Zhuo and his more than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses looking at the direction of Huangfu Song's pursuit.

The soldiers and horses of the kingdom who were tired and fled were as expected by Huangfu Song, they had no intention of fighting, and they were defeated and retreated in a hurry under the pursuit of Huangfu Song's army. Pursuing all the way, Huangfu Song recovered Anding County, Hanyang County, and Longxi County in less than half a month, until the kingdom's soldiers and horses fled to Jincheng and the boundary of the mighty Second Army.

Huangfu Song even killed more than 10,000 rebels in the kingdom and captured countless sheep and horses.

"Hey! If the imperial court can support the baggage, even if the entire Xiliang is recovered, I can do it, but what..."Huangfu Song's army stopped at the warrior city west of the Yellow River on the border of Hanyang County, sighing.

"General, the treasury is empty, and the imperial court is also impossible. If it weren't for the eunuchs around His Majesty to loot the fat and ointment of the people of the world, my Han would not be like this now. Huangfu Li was also resentful on the side.

Huangfu Song got rid of the regret in his mind, rectified the soldiers and horses, accepted the imperial edict, and triumphantly returned to Luoyang. If it weren't for Huangfu Song's cheekiness to collect a lot of grain and grass from the families in Hanyang and Longxi in the name of the imperial court, he would have quit his army and returned to the division. At this time, Huang Fu Song was not too sorry to be able to take it over like this.

Of course, Dong Zhuo, who did not have too many merits this time, was also edicted, and led a group of Xiliang soldiers and horses into Beijing to accept the reward. Immediately, more than 30,000 troops marched towards Luoyang, and the people everywhere they passed, some were happy, and some sighed. I am happy that I don't have to reap the poison of war, and I sigh that after returning to the Han Dynasty, I will have to pay a lot of taxes. In such a situation, I really don't know whether to be happy or worried.

No matter what the people think, the gears of history will still keep rolling according to the general trend of the world. I don't know if it's providence, or if someone deliberately, and how many people can survive under the general trend of the world! The doubt is still Xiang Ao's poem: Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people also suffer!

On the way back from Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, a group of people dressed in black found Dong Zhuo again in the middle of the night.
