Chapter 573: Taiping Dao Ping Yan Zhong
I don't know how long it took, when I walked to the south gate of Xiaquyang County, I saw a big flag symbolizing the Han army, waving in the wind at the head of the city.
This is the closest place to the county seat of the Han army in Xiaquyang, although it is not the place where the two armies fought the most and fought the most tragic during the siege war, but it is not a mud battle played by children.
The city has been broken, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of sweat, lingering on the tip of the nose for a long time, lingering, lingering, in the ears, you can still hear the sound of the previous battle, scattered everywhere wearing yellow clothes and Han army armor corpses, telling the tragedy of the siege that has just ended.
In the battle of Xiaquyang City, in the face of the Han army rangers on the other side of the river in the north of the city, there were many Yellow Turban Moths who wanted to die in the river, even if Huangfu Song did not condone his subordinates because of Fuquan, and slaughtered Quyang City, and the Han army had the experience of calling on the Yellow Turban Moth thieves not to jump into the river in Guangzong County, but in the end there were still more than 20,000 people, spontaneously jumping into the river for the Taiping Road that had been completely decayed.
"If it weren't for the Taiping Dao, there were loyal people who repented, secretly reported the reverse, and used the horn demon magic to be brave, as the situation today would be difficult to know!" Hearing that the moth thief jumped into the river to be buried, looking at the traces left by the bloody battle in the city, Huangfu Song sighed softly, perhaps this is also the reason why he connived at the slaughter of the Yellow Turban Moth thief by his subordinates in history.
In addition to the foundation of Confucianism, which has been seriously damaged by the teachings of the Taiping Dao, if these rioters are not properly dealt with, if they are allowed to be placed among the people, it will not be long before as long as someone raises their arms again, they will still rebel, and only by slaughtering can these hidden dangers be greatly removed.
Entering the city, the streets and alleys are no longer the same as they used to be, there are corpses everywhere, and there are all kinds of ruins and broken walls, you can imagine how the Han army entered the city, in addition to the thieves who voluntarily surrendered, the other Yellow Turban Moth thieves made what kind of resistance.
"Zhang Bao demon thief, defend the lonely city, the city will not fall, it should be killed!" Seeing this, Huangfu Song shouted again, which silenced everyone present, but they all nodded in agreement. Indeed, knowing that he can't do it, he still leads people to resist and causes such harm, and he really deserves to be killed.
After hearing this, Fu Quan said that the generals in the city greeted him and said, "Where is the demon thief?" ”
Immediately, a military marquis saluted and said: "After the city is broken, the thief is captured in the county office and is being detained in the county office." ”
"Good! Lead the way to the county office! ”
"No!"
When Huangfu Song heard this, he rushed to Fuquan before replying, and ordered in advance, and the military marquis got the order, so he took everyone to the county office.
The county office is in the middle of the county, and the county seat of Xiaquyang is also a large county, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people under Zhang Bao's command, so it is known that its scale, so it still takes a distance to go to the county office.
On the way, while leading the way, the military marquis also explained to Huangfu Song, Fu Quan and others about the capture of Zhang Bao. It turned out that after the city was breached, although Xicheng was the first city occupied by the Han army, it was not the first Han army to attack the county office of Quyang County, and the first to attack the city was no one else, but Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfu Song, who led the elite under the command of Huangfu Song to attack the county office first.
At that time, Zhang Bao, who already knew that the big event had gone, was also in the county office, leading people to the Han army to do the final desperate struggle. However, at that time, the re-fight was no different from the mantis arm as a car, and after being solved by the Han army one by one, Zhang Bao was finally beaten off by Huangfu Jianshou with the long sword in his hand, and was tied up by Huangfu Jianshou's personal soldiers.
During this period, Zhang Bao also had the act of looking for an opportunity to commit suicide, but he had already learned the lesson of Zhang Liang's suicide after being tied up earlier, and was strictly guarded against by the Han soldiers, and even feared that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide, so he stuffed a yellow cloth into his mouth. After Huangfu Jianshou tied Zhang Bao, he has been sitting in the county office, no matter who comes from the rest of the Han army, he can't see Zhang Bao, the meaning is obvious, that is, he is waiting for his father Huangfu Song to come, and the Han army is hindered by the power of Huangfu Song, so they can only extinguish other thoughts and let Huangfu Jianshou stay in the county office.
Hearing this, Fu Quan couldn't help but glance at Huangfu Song, who seemed to be surprised when he first heard that his son had captured the thief's first treasure. In his heart, Fu Quan was speculating, could it be that Huangfu Song had expected all this in advance, so he had already prepared, right?
After all, if Guo Dian's Jizhou army was allowed to attack the west city of Quyang County with all his might as the main force of the siege, it would undoubtedly make Zhang Bao and the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in the city make a wrong judgment that the other eastern and southern city heads were not the main attack points of the Han army, so as to reduce the garrison and put the main combat power in the city at the west gate.
In this way, even if the West Gate is the first to break the city, but in the face of most of the elites gathered by the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in the West City, in the street battle, the Jizhou army will also encounter a lot of resistance, which is not only the loss of soldiers, but also the loss of time. After all, the east and south sides of the city, the Han army will definitely break the city, and when the time comes, in the face of a lower resistance in the city than in the west, it is easy to make the Han army attacking the east and south sides of the city quickly pacify the resistance, and go deep into the city, and have a great grasp of the first command center to conquer the enemy, such as Huangfu Jianshou, the fastest to attack the county office, capture Zhang Bao.
During the conversation, Fu Quan asked Emperor Fu Jianshou of the Ming Dynasty and Huang Fu Song's nephew Huang Fu Li, who led the elite under Huang Fu Song respectively, and when the Han army attacked the city in the east and south, and other states and counties, he also felt more and more that this matter was very likely under Huang Fu Song's premeditation. After all, no one would be willing to give up the great work in hand, and Huangfu Song had to repay Guo Dian's favor, so he had a great possibility to complete this plan at this time.
On the one hand, you can do favors to repay Guo Dian; On the other hand, they can have the opportunity to ensure that their first achievements are not lost. Of course, these are just Fu Quan's guesses, he just asked Huangfu Song, and the other party would not admit it. After all, even so, no one can explain how Huangfu Song is sure that his son can capture the thief, he can only say that he himself is also gambling, betting on whether his son or nephew can meet Zhang Bao first.
When they arrived at the county office, after Huangfu Jianshou saluted Huangfu Song, everyone saw the "Digong General" of Taiping Dao, but at this moment, Zhang Bao looked at everyone with an angry face.
The expected Huangfu Song saw Zhang Bao, and he would face Zhang Bao coldly, and the situation of angrily scolding him a few times did not appear, Huangfu Song just took a few serious glances at Zhang Bao, as if he had determined the identity of the other party, and ordered someone to pull Zhang Bao out and cut him.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, Huangfu Song just wanted to determine the true identity of Zhang Bao, the three main culprits in the Taiping Road incident, in order to do his best.
In short, with Zhang Bao's bloody head, he was ordered by Huangfu Song to send his soldiers to Beijing and Luoyang, and together with it was Huangfu Song's victory report. Of course, this war report is only an abbreviated version, and as for the report of specific merits after the war, it will take several days to review it.
Since then, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which has a huge momentum and far-reaching impact, was completely suppressed by the Han Dynasty and lasted more than nine months.
In this battle, the Han army killed more than 40,000 enemies, more than 20,000 moth thieves jumped into the river to be buried, and captured more than 60,000 Yellow Turban moth thieves, including men and women, old and young, and the Han army itself also suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, and the battle can be described as tragic.
It was night, the carnival of the Han soldiers resounded in the county town of Xiaqu County, this time it made an immortal achievement, no matter who it was, it was excited, wine, singing and dancing, women, became the pleasure tools of all the Han soldiers.
Originally, there were still hidden dangers in the Han army's carnival so early, after all, those Yellow Turban Moth thieves who were not low in number were captured, and once they broke out, it would be difficult to do. However, with the demise of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, the true face of Taiping Dao was also revealed, and the false belief that the so-called "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" also collapsed, and those Yellow Turban Moth thieves who had completely lost their souls would not have the intention of resisting at all. Even, even the Han army, which did not bring camp prostitutes, selected beautiful women from among the captured moth thieves as camp prostitutes, but failed to arouse the resistance of those remaining moth thieves.
In the county office, when Zhang Bao was captured, the bloodstains of the battle between the Han army and Zhang Bao's soldiers have been cleaned up, making this county office have a bit of what the county office should be, the only difference is that the heavily guarded Han soldiers are too much.
In the inner courtyard, the noise outside the county office kept coming, it was the sound of the Han army in the city conniving at pleasure, except for Huangfu Song's henchmen and horses, who guarded the city under his strict orders, and guarded the prisoners, the Han troops in the rest of the counties were wantonly indulgent.
Of course, those noisy voices did not disturb the conversation of the two people in the inner courtyard at all, but it was because the things that these two people talked about were too shocking, and these two people were Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong, the strategist he recruited.
I saw that Yan Zhong saluted Huangfu Song and said: "The husband is rare and easy to lose, and the time is also; When the time comes, the one who does not spin his heel is also the opportunity, so the saint always moves with the time, and the wise man will be sent by the opportunity. Today, the general has suffered a rare luck, and he has taken the opportunity to solve it, and he has not been able to take care of his luck and not send it at the right time, how can he enjoy great fame? ”
Huangfu Song replied: "What do you mean? ”
"Heaven has no relatives, and the people are capable, so those who have the merits of the superior are not rewarded by the mediocre masters. Today's general is affected by the early spring, the merit is in the late winter, the soldiers move like a god, the plan is no longer calculated, between the ten months, the gods sweep the electric sweep, the attack is easy to wither, the enemy is more than Tang Xue, the seven states swept, slaughter 260,000 square meters, the division of the yellow turban, remove the evil evil, or seal the household carved stone, the south to report the virtue, the shock of the dynasty, the wind gallops overseas. It is to look back on the heroes, and the people are heeling, although Tang Wu's actions, there is no one who is higher than the general. As a master, how can he be safe? ”
"What is uneasiness if the heart is not faithful?"
"Not really. Xi Hanxin couldn't bear to have a meal, and gave up three points of profit, refused to be loyal to Kuaitong, and suddenly fell into the momentum, and the sword had been in his throat, but he sighed and regretted, so he saw that he was cooking in his children. Today, the lord is weaker than Liu and Xiang, and the general is heavier than Huaiyin; Finger can vibrate the wind and clouds, powerful enough to prosper thunder and lightning, and work hard, because of the danger to resist the decline, Chong'en is attached to Sui, and Zhenwu is to serve after the rear; Recruit the people of the Ji side, move the people of the seven states, the friends gallop in front, the army resounded in the back, followed the Zhanghe River, drank the horse Mengjin, raised the sky net to be the outline of Kyoto, punished the eunuchs, removed the accumulation of grievances, and solved the long-term danger of hanging upside down. In this way, the attack and defense of the city without a strong city, do not recruit must follow, although the child can make the empty fist to dedicate, the woman can make it dressed to use his life, the situation is very intelligent, because of the rapid wind, the great merit is not enough, the eight sides are not enough to be the same. The merit has been completed, the world has been smooth, it is to burn to God, to tell the mandate of heaven, to mix the Liuhe, to the south to system, to move the artifact to their own home, to push the death of the Han to set Zuo, the real god machine to decide, the wind is also good. Although the general wants to be loyal to the difficult dynasty, he carves and paints the decayed wood, and he still goes against the saka and takes the pill, and he must not be. Fang Jinquan and eunuchs live in groups, the same evil is like the city, the lord is not free, and the edict is left and right. If you don't notice it, if you don't take the opportunity first, you will regret it, and you can't do it. ”
What the two talked about was naturally not about it, but Yan Zhong found Huangfu Song in private and continued to talk about what he hadn't finished during the day, if it weren't for Fuquan's interruption, I'm afraid that during the day, Yan Zhong would explain to Huangfu Song the words of the Qing Jun that he had prepared a long time ago.
Looking at Yan Zhong with an excited face in front of him, Huangfu Song admitted that what Yan Zhong said was indeed very beneficial to him. If he really follows his strategy, now raise troops to the west and enter Luoyang, not to mention the eunuchs and the Qing monarch, it is very likely that he will let the emperor's family usurp the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that he has something to do and something not to do, the Liu family is the mandate of heaven, and his Huangfu family is dependent on the Liu family, and he must not do this disloyal and unrighteous act. Therefore, Huangfu Song replied sharply: "Songben Hanchen, the Lu of the king, and the matter of being loyal to the king, how can this be an unrighteous act, this matter is not mentioned!" ”
In the words, he resolutely refused, so that Yan Zhong, who was trying his best to plan for the Lord on the other side, was extremely disappointed, but he was helpless, if Huangfu Song really had two hearts, why did he drag it out until now?
However, since Yan Zhong is willing to conquer for Huangfu Song, he will naturally not fail to fulfill his duties as a strategist, so he only heard him remind him again: "Zhonglang has offended Zhao Zhong in Ye before, although he has made great achievements in the world, but the eunuch holds a grudge, if he finds the opportunity, he will harm Zhonglang, and his loyalty is all here, and I hope Zhonglang will think twice." ”
At this moment, Yan Zhong is just doing the duty of a strategist, after all, between Huangfu Song and the eunuchs, the hatred is aggravated, once the world is peaceful, the emperor once again chooses to suppress the scholars, so as to seize the power of the party that has been increasing since the Taiping Dao uprising, then the eunuchs who have gained power again will definitely not let go of Huangfu Song, this, Yan Zhong knows that he must remind Huang Fu Song.
Of course, Huangfu Song naturally didn't know this, but he still chose to refuse. Seeing this, Yan Zhong knew that it was useless to say more, and after saluting Huangfu Song for the last time, he took his leave and left.
Huangfu Song saw it, nodded in agreement, but when Yan Zhong walked out of the door, he said, "Wangjun has nothing to do all the way." He knew that Yan Zhong would leave this time, and the only way to escape was to escape, after all, tonight's incident was Yan Zhong himself, and I am afraid that he would not dare to guarantee whether he would not report it in the future, and he did not dare to guarantee whether it would be known, for him, it was too dangerous, and he had to leave.
In the depths of the night, Yan Zhong relied on the identity of Huangfu Song's strategist, made up a reason to go out of the county seat of Xiaquyang, and finally took a look at the county seat, and then went all the way west, he was ready to go back to Liangzhou, where was his territory, even if something happened because of today's reasons, he would have a power to protect himself.
