The next day, Guo Bin got the news that Yan Zhong, the military division of the left cavalry general Huangfu Song, resigned, and Huangfu Songhou gave him Cheng Yi and let him go.

When everyone heard the news, they were all puzzled. This staff member defected to the master, which one is not for promotion and wealth? Which one is not to fight for a good future? But since everyone put themselves into the Huangfu Song curtain in the late spring, to now, it has entered the middle of winter, and it has been hard work for more than half a year, seeing that the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army on both roads have been wiped out, and Zhang Bao, who fled to Xiaquyang, has also been beheaded, it is the time to harvest the fruits of victory, but why did he choose such a time to leave?

Huangfu Song naturally wouldn't tell the story that Yan Zhong persuaded him to rebel against the court and intend to rebel the night before, and everyone could only speculate wildly.

Although Xi Zhicai is full of wisdom, he never expected that the two would have such a dialogue, Guo Bin does not learn and has no skills, and naturally knows nothing about such a secluded piece of history, only secretly glad that history is still moving forward along its inherent track, and has not changed much because of his small butterfly wings.

However, although everyone didn't know anything about the specific content of the conversation between Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong, they could guess a rough idea through various clues.

Xi Zhicai said to everyone at the military meeting: "In my humble opinion, General Huangfu should have no objection, otherwise Yan Zhong would not leave." ”

Guan Yu nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is reasonable!" ”

Guo Jia said: "In this way, the nursery rhymes that circulated among the people in Jizhou before could only be Yan Zhong's private actions, and Huangfu should not know about it, at least not support it." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "So, why did this Yan Zhong do this? ”

Guo Jia said: "The so-called people die for money, and birds die for food." I'm afraid this Yan Zhong wants that dragon skill, right? Although it is a question sentence, it is a contemptuous tone.

Guo Bin reprimanded: "Little brother, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Although Guo Bin agrees with Guo Jia's opinion, he is really helpless about his flirtatious character, so he has to reprimand him often to save his tail from lifting his tail to the sky.

Xi Zhicai said: "What the lord said is reasonable. Since Yan Zhong left quietly, Huangfu Cheqi naturally didn't want anyone to mention this matter again, so it was wisest to reveal this matter so quietly. Yan Zhong said that he was just a staff member of the Emperor's chariot, where could he attract the attention of those who cared? If anyone mentions this matter again, it will be difficult to ride with the emperor. It is true that you need to be cautious. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he could only droop his little head and nod his head to be taught. For Guo Bin, he still dares to lose his temper, because he knows that Guo Bin has a generous temperament and is very doting on himself, don't look at the fierce scolding, if he really wants him to beat himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.

And Xi Zhicai is different, at the beginning, when Guo Bin handed Guo Jia over to Xi Zhicai for training, Guo Jia also wanted to play him with a little cleverness. It was because when he was in Sima Hui's mansion that Xi Zhi was uninhibited and never put Guo Bin in his eyes. But then he knew that it was powerful, and Xi Zhicai resolved these small means without much effort, and used a few small means with his backhand, but Guo Jia seemed to be dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he knew that he was suffering. Therefore, as long as Xi Zhicai has a straight face, Guo Jia, who is a little perverse in his usual behavior, will be as docile as a little female cat.

Guo Bin saw that Guo Jia looked like a mouse seeing a cat, he was amused in his heart, but he was a little unbearable, so he said: "Looking at the current situation, it seems that Yan Zhong wanted to use this nursery rhyme to force Huangfu to ride on his back against the imperial court and stand on his own, but obviously he did not get the support of General Huangfu, so he quietly left. Then the matter will be stopped, and no one is allowed to mention it again. ”

Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Bin, and then at Guo Jia on the side, happy and helpless in his heart. This lord is good everywhere, but he is too lenient to his subordinates, especially this little Guo Jia, who is now accustomed to acting perversely. However, to say that this kid's brain is extremely flexible, he has a lot of ghost ideas at a young age, and after more than a year of training, he is shaking his head and looking like that.

If Guo Bin knew what Xi Zhicai was thinking, he would definitely be snickering: I can't think of it, right? Xiao Guo Jia is a ghost talent in the next life, if he doesn't have a little talent, even I don't believe it.

However, when Guo Bin ordered his subordinates to put aside Yan Zhong's departure and not mention it again, Huangfu Song did something that surprised everyone.

At this moment when it should be a lurking position, Huangfu Song actually sued Zhao Zhong, the middle attendant. It turned out that when Zhang Jiao was exterminated, the army of Huangfu Songshuai passed through Yecheng and found that Zhao Zhong's residence exceeded the prescribed size, so he wrote to the Son of Heaven to sue him for violating the system and asked the Son of Heaven to confiscate it.

The Son of Heaven decreed that he was very consoled to Huangfu Song's public loyalty, confiscated Zhao Zhong's house, and issued an order to reprimand him.

When Guo Bin got the news, he was anxious and hurriedly rushed to Huangfu Songshuai's tent.

After reporting his name, Guo Bin hurriedly ran in, didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and said loudly: "General, Zhao Zhong..."

saw Huangfu Song waving his hand and signaling him not to speak. It turned out that he was writing at the desk, and Guo Bin had to stand aside, not daring to disturb.

After a while, Huangfu Songfang raised his head, gently dried the ink on the paper, beckoned to Guo Bin, and said, "Qianyang, you come to see the old man's letter." ”

Guo Bin hurriedly took it with both hands, spread it out in his hands and looked at it.

The text said: "Chen Song said again: The minister tastes and hears, and those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." Seeing is better than what everyone knows, and neither is the good who is not good; Victory and the world is said to be good, and the good is not good. Therefore, there is no much power in the autumn, seeing the sun and the moon is not bright, and hearing thunder is not deaf. The so-called good fighters in ancient times are better than easy to win. Therefore, the victory of the good fighter is also, there is no miraculous victory, no wisdom and fame, and no brave feats. Therefore, if it defeats the unspeakable, the unspeakable will be victorious in what it does, and the defeated will also be victorious. Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy. ”

When Guo Bin saw this, he wondered in his heart, this is clearly an excerpt from "The Art of War", what is Huangfu Song going to do? He raised his head at the moment and said with a little doubt: "General, this is..."

Huangfu Song smiled and waved his hand, "Look down." ”

Guo Bin had to continue to read, only to see that it was written: "Taiping Road is a disaster for the Central Plains, mourning is everywhere, the four seas are boiling, and the people cannot live." The Taiping Road is a bandit with a soldier, and the people are no different from the people when they return to the field, so the need to suppress bandits is to eradicate the roots. The one who is the one who is planted, Lu Zhonglang, the thief is the head of Guangzong, and he is trapped with 50,000 people and 100,000 soldiers, although it is difficult to manage music. ”

Seeing this, Guo Bin's heart was agitated, and he looked at Huangfu Song excitedly and said, "General, this..."

Huangfu Song smiled and patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to continue looking down.

"Yellow turban thieves, gather to be thieves. If it can be broken in one blow, then the world can be determined; If they are allowed to live in the Central Plains, they will not be able to spend millions of dollars. In addition, our officers and soldiers have been sparse for a long time, and the newly gathered people, while the Yellow Turban thieves have the heart of the trapped beast, and this battle is not easy. Lu Zhonglang is planning for the country, not avoiding arrows and stones, not afraid of ministers, willing to take risks, and surround more with less. It is not only the task of suppressing bandits, but also the livelihood of the people after the bandits. Therefore, the deep ditch and high base, dedicating oneself to trap the enemy, wholeheartedly for the public, regardless of personal interests, this is really the name of the countryman. ”

Guo Bin stabilized his mind and continued to look down.

"Song has made great achievements, completely annihilating the Yellow Turban thieves, and Lu Zhonglang has also trapped the enemy. The thieves in the city have no reinforcements outside, and there is a lack of food and grass inside, and the army's spirit has been discharged. The subordinate used the siege artillery made by Lu Zhonglang, and attacked the enemy for half a day, and the enemy army surrendered. The victor of the battle is also the people, if the water is decided to accumulate in a thousand people, the shape is also. The victory of the minister is actually the merit of Lu Zhonglang's layout, and the minister does not dare to be greedy for the merit of the sky for himself, so please ask Your Majesty to see the end of the situation and reward the meritorious minister. After long live, everyone praises it. Goodbye. ”

After reading it, Guo Bin was indescribably excited, his eyes were full of tears, his hands trembled and he returned the song, and then bowed: "Bin Dai Lu Zhonglang, thank you for the general's great kindness!" As he spoke, his voice was already choked, but the following words were no longer difficult to say.

Where could Huangfu Song have expected that this ironman-like Guo Qianyang, who dared to enter the thief city alone, galloped across the millions of troops as if entering a no-man's land, and faced no matter how difficult the task was, and never blinked an eye in the face of fewer enemies and more dangers, would be like this. sighed in his heart and said secretly: "Lu Zi is a good blessing!" Although Guo Qianyang has been with him for a short time, he treats him like a father and brother. And Yan Zhong, alas! ”

cleaned up his mood at the moment, and scolded with a smile: "You Guo boy, you have only been with Lu Zigan for a few days?" When the two of us met, I was afraid that your kid had not yet been born! ”

Guo Bin had to touch the back of his head, laughing wryly, and when he got out of the handsome account, Fang remembered that he forgot to ask Zhao Zhong about it.

Now, the Yellow Turban Army has been exterminated, and the Son of Heaven has an order to lead the army back to Beijing with Huangfu Song. The intercession for Lu Zhi was also sent out on the way back to Beijing, and after coming to Beijing, you can know the result. With Huangfu Song's current prestige in the court, and returning to the court with a great victory, the Son of Heaven naturally wants to give him some face.

What's more, Lu Zhi, as the Son of Heaven, also knew that he was going to be removed at the beginning, and it was also the result of a combination of many factors.

First of all, before Lu Zhi forced the main force of the Yellow Turban Army into Guangzong City, it was also a great victory. Otherwise, how can you do more with less? In addition, although the Southern Route Army lost the first battle, it defeated the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army almost without a single soldier. Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the Son of Heaven, regarded the Yellow Turban Army as a rabble gathered together, and they became dissatisfied with Lu Zhi's siege strategy.

And after removing Lu Zhi and letting Dong Zhuo, who had taken Zhang Rangmen, be the commander of the Northern Route Army, who knew that this fat poor, who everyone thought was a meritorious person, was by no means so easy to do. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's failure woke up the Son of Heaven. But if Lu Zhiguan was reinstated at that time and let him go back to command the Northern Route Army, not to mention whether this chief general who had been in prison could still suppress his generals, the face of the Son of Heaven alone would not be able to pass.

Therefore, at this time, the anger of the Son of Heaven has disappeared, and the reason why Lu Zhiguan was not reinstated is just that he needs a step. Now Huangfu Song analyzed the original battle situation so clearly, and made it clear that it was not the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, but that the ministers of the court misled him, and thought that with Liu Hong's political wisdom, he should be able to make a good choice.
