In May of the first year of Zhongping, at the junction of Runan County and Chen State in Yuzhou, there was a county named Xihua, which was a large county of Runan County.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Xihua County was a fief of the Song Hua clan, in which the east was Donghua, and the west was Xihua. There is a river in its territory, which leads directly to Yingchuan, if there are enough boats, you can travel along the river quickly, and you can reach Yingchuan in one or two days, which is very fast.

Xihua County, summer, belongs to Yuzhou, Zhou returned to Chen, after Chen extinguished, returned to Chu, to the beginning of Qin, placed Changping County in this place, and then to the Han Dynasty, divided Changping, Xihua two counties. Today, Changping County has been incorporated into Xihua, and the Xihua County that has evolved several times is now a tragic battlefield like a meat grinder.

After the defeat of Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan County, in Shaoling, more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Runan and Chen Guo besieged more than 20,000 Han troops led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were currently holding in Xihua County.

Just fought in Yingchuan against the Yellow Turban Army Bocai Division, and now in Xihua against Peng Tuo's Division, at this moment in Xihua City, leading the Han army under his command, Huangfu Song, who was holding back the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, looked at the dense Yellow Turban Moth Thieves outside the city, and couldn't help but sigh again, this Yuzhou Yellow Turban Moth Thieves are so powerful, and I don't know what Jizhou, the base camp of Taiping Road, will be?

Of course, although the Yellow Turban Moth thieves outside the city attacked very urgently, the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who defended the city were not afraid. After all, after several melee battles with the Bocai Division, both of them had an understanding of the strength of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, which is also the reason why they fought with the Peng Tuo Department after they left Yingchuan, and did not fight against Peng Tuo at the first time, but always stuck to Xihua County, stopped Peng Tuo's Division, and traveled quickly along the river to support the Bocai Department of the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County.

As a number of powerful generals in the Han Dynasty today, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun certainly knew that the Peng Tuo Department of the Yellow Turban Army, which had just defeated the Han armies of Runan and Chen Guo, was not ordinary in terms of strength or morale. The Han army came to the rescue from Yingchuan, not to mention the fatigue of the Zhou division, which was inferior in numbers, and it was impossible for Huangfu Song to hold on to Xihua County.

On the one hand, this can block Peng Tuobu's rescue of Yingchuan, and prepare time for Fuquan to clean up the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Yingchuan County; On the other hand, it is natural to wait for the Peng Tuo Division, which has just experienced a great victory, to wear down their morale after a long siege battle, and then wait for the Han reinforcements from all over the country to meet, and then fight a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, which is the best way to fight.

That is, when the two armies were in a stalemate outside Xihua County, turning this place into a meat grinder battlefield, Fu Quan led his own soldiers and horses, led by Zhong Xuan, out of Yingchuan County, and finally came to this battlefield after separating from Zhong Xuan.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Moth thief Peng Tuo's department was still besieging the city very urgently, but after repeated hard battles, Peng Tuo's department was obviously not in a hurry to deal with the sudden appearance of the Han army's Fuquan Division. In Fuquan, with the iron cavalry under his command as the front army, with the infantry marching, under the leadership of a group of fierce generals, he broke through the formation of Pengtuo's army, causing Pengtuo's army to be in chaos.

Peng Tuo's department itself is the coalition army of Runan and Chenguo, and the division time is very short, and most of them are coerced people, so the formation is chaotic, it is difficult to clean up, it can be said that the soldiers do not know the soldiers, the generals do not know the generals, and the main general Qu Shuai Peng Tuo wasted a lot of effort to pacify the Yellow Turban Moth Thief coalition army in the two places.

Then take this opportunity, Fuquan and the Han army in the city should be outside, under the response of the Han army in the city, into the city, finally met Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun two. After the meeting, there was nothing else to do, naturally it was to discuss how to defeat the besieging Peng Tuo Division, so as to completely pacify the largest group of Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Yuzhou.

However, before talking about it, Fu Quan also saw Huangfu Song's side, but there were many more figures, such as Fu Quan's former acquaintance, and Cao Cao, who had a bend relationship with him. Of course, Cao Cao at this time, not like in history, was limited by the defeat of the Song family in the palace fight, his brother-in-law, that is, Fuquan's uncle Song Qi was implicated and killed, and he also lost the position of Dunqiu Ling, idle at home, depressed, until later he was recruited as a speaker to continue his career, but because of his outstanding political achievements in Dunqiu, he was transferred to the center early and served as a councillor.

Fu Quan knew that Cao Cao and himself were not fellow travelers, even if he had a close relationship with his uncle Song Qi, he couldn't let Fu Quan have too much affection for him. After all, if it is possible for him to take power in the future and start another struggle for the power of the Han Dynasty with the foreign dynasty party, Fu Quan believes that Cao Cao's first choice will not be his own crooked relative, but will still be the foreign dynasty party who has always looked down on him and scolded him for being "eunuch and ugly", followed by Yuan Shao, the leader of the current party, to become his little brother loyally and become the opposite of himself.

I don't know how my uncle Song Qi will feel when he sees Cao Cao getting close to He Jin and Yuan Shao even though he sees the Song family in power? Of course, Fu Quan naturally couldn't guess Cao Cao's intentions, probably he wanted to wander between the two relatives, or just to get rid of his infamy of "being a heavy eunuch and ugly", anyway, after Fu Quan saw Cao Cao, he didn't say much to him, just as a simple politeness between acquaintances and relatives.

Cao Cao probably knew about the embarrassment between the two of them, and he didn't say much, so there was some peace between the two. Of course, Cao Cao came this time, but because he was worshiped by the imperial court as a cavalry captain, and was ordered to lead troops to support Huangfu Song and other Han troops, and Huang Fu Song's side, at this moment, there are a lot of reinforcements from various counties, Fuquan got acquainted, and found that most of them were soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and the southeast of Jingzhou, and a few other places were drawn, anyway, there were many troops and they were also very miscellaneous.

It's just that, in Fu Quan's opinion, although the number of soldiers has been replenished, the combat power and equipment quality are obviously not as good as before, and most of the Han army reinforcements are slightly better than the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, and some of the Han Army are still a little inferior to those Yellow Turban Moth Thieves.

Think about it, Henan, Yan, Jing three prefectures, are all regarded as the Central Plains inland areas, Jingzhou is okay, the previous time there was the Jiangxia Wushui Rebellion and the influence of the Huang Sui Rebellion, the soldiers have some combat power, and Henan, Yan Erzhou has not practiced war for many years, and it is a rich and large state in the Central Plains, it is good to expect that the soldiers and horses in these two states can all reach the quality level of qualified Han soldiers, and it is obviously impossible to expect them to become the elite of the Han army to counter-insurgency that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have been training in Beijing for a long time.

Therefore, this also caused the number of so-called elite soldiers in the two populous states of Henan and Yan'er Prefecture, in Fuquan's view, to be as many as the small number of soldiers and horses sent by Jingzhou. Fu Quan thought about it, in history, if it weren't for the rebellion in Jingzhou, and in the process of exterminating the Huang Sui thieves, many Jingzhou soldiers were trained, I am afraid that what Jingzhou lost would not be just a Nanyang County in Jingzhou, which is the farthest away from Jiangxia County, if the Huang Sui Rebellion could be postponed and rebelled with Zhang Jiao, maybe Jingnan would be completely conquered by the rebels.

In fact, if it weren't for the rebellion of Xu Zhao, the demon thief Xu Zhao, who was in trouble with Xu and Yangzhou, the imperial court ordered Zang Min to assassinate the history of Yangzhou, and commanded the soldiers and horses of Xu and Yang, which lasted three years before and after, and exercised a large number of soldiers and horses in the state and county, I am afraid that the current Xu and Yang two states, most of the counties and counties, will also be affected by the sudden rebellion of the Yellow Turban Moth thief.

Obviously, the closer Xuzhou is to the place where Xu Zhao's base will be in Huiji, the weaker the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers will be, and the more they will be able to fight against those rioting Taiping Dao rebels.

From this point, it can be seen that the Han Dynasty is now most damaged by the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in several places, all of which are soldiers and horses in the prefectures and counties in the territory, and have not encountered major wars for many years, and the soldiers who should have been eliminated and replaced have not been replaced.

Such a combat power of soldiers and horses can be said to be because the Eastern Han Dynasty abolished the material officials and centralized the central power after the founding of Guangwu, weakening the effect of the locality. But obviously, the advantage is very good, it has greatly helped Liu Xiu, who rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, to control the world and is conducive to rule, but after a long time, there are undoubtedly many drawbacks, and now, the soldiers of the state and county who have been stable for many years without war are not high, and compared with those yellow turban mobs who have long died and want to get a piece of their own world, it is really difficult to defeat and pacify them.

And these are also the reasons why the Han Dynasty continued to transfer border troops into the Central Plains at this moment in order to pacify the Taiping Road, and it was also the reason why the Liangzhou Army was still not afraid of the alliance of the Kwantung princes when the number of troops was not superior. Perhaps, in the case of the Liangzhou army that has been fighting on the border all year round, those temporarily recruited Kwantung soldiers and horses, although they have sharp weapons in their hands, it is obvious that in the eyes of the Liangzhou army, these Kwantung soldiers and horses are just farmers with weapons, and even their weapons are no different from farm tools like hoes in their eyes.

From the very beginning, it was never the Kanto people who lived in the court and enjoyed the comfort of the capital alone could understand, and they and the Kansai people who knew how to fight from the bottom of their bones did not understand, and they could only sharpen their military literacy by experiencing painful lessons again and again and learning from experience. Among these people, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, they are all like this, at the beginning, they were all defeated and won less, and they also experienced battles again and again, one became the later northern overlord, and the other became the later Emperor Wei Wudi.

In addition to the reinforcements drawn from all over the Han Dynasty like Cao Cao, Fuquan also saw a lot of scholars wearing Confucian clothes, but these scholars were different from Cao Cao, they basically voluntarily obeyed the recruitment of Huangfu Song, led the family soldiers, or entered the Han camp alone to help the Han army, exterminate the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, and return their homeland to stability.

Knowing this, Fu Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he recruited a Zhong Xuan, and he had to make an appointment with the other party for three chapters, Zhong Xuan sent himself out of Yingchuan, and he could leave, and this Huangfu Song, under the invitation of a letter, people directly led the family soldiers to support, it was really more popular than people!

Perhaps, like Huangfu Song, it is not bad to have a good relationship with those party members, after all, in this way, he will definitely get no less help in various places. However, this idea was quickly rejected by Fu Quan from the beginning, because, if he really did this, he was afraid that he would have to step into the back road of He Jin.

I don't know, now in Luoyang City, he is beginning to be complacent, and he is planning how to help his sister become the queen and his nephew become the emperor, can see through the final plot of those well-known party members who continue to obey his expedition and enter the general's mansion. Perhaps, he may never know, and even if he did, it should be at the time of his death.

Of course, most of these scholars who came to support Huangfu Song had never heard of it, and even if some had heard of it, they didn't value it, otherwise, God knows what kind of mood he would have when he saw so many potential stocks in Xihua County.

There is only one person, which makes Fuquan a little worried, and the young man is a strange man who can guess most of the strange men after Fuquan meets, just because the fragrance on his body is extremely heavy.

In the Three Kingdoms era, there were two strange men, one in the south and one in the north, who not only had outstanding appearances, but also had the best talents, and both left a period of grace that has been praised through the ages.

Zhou Lang Gu Qu, Xun Ling Liuxiang.

The former speaks of Zhou Yu, and the latter speaks of Xun Yu.

Zhou Yu is good at music, after getting drunk, he has a mistake, Yu must know it, and he must take care of it, so some people sometimes say: "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu." ”

Xun Yu likes incense, and over time his body has a fragrance, "Xiangyang Ji" contains: "Xun Lingjun to people's homes, sitting in three days of incense." ”

This person is the latter.

Bocai Wai Huangfu Song in the long society. There are few soldiers, and everyone in the army is afraid. The thieves camped according to the grass, there would be a strong wind, and the soldiers of Song Yue were bound to take the city, so that the sharp soldiers went out of the encirclement, set fire and shouted, and the city raised fire in response, Song came out of the city, rushed to the thief Chen, the thief panicked, and ran. The commander of the cavalry, Peiguo, and Cao Cao's generals are suitable for ...... Huangfu Song and Jun Jun took advantage of the victory to enter Runan and Chen Guo's Yellow Turban, chased the wave to Yang Zhai, hit Peng Tuo in Xihua, and broke it, the remaining thieves dispersed, and the three counties were peaceful. Song Nai said that he was in the same state, and returned to Jun with merit, so he entered the Marquis of Junxi Township and moved to the town of thieves. Zhao Song seeks Dongjun, Jun seeks Nanyang. Excerpt from "Zizhi Tongjian"

Sex incense, often put an incense burner on the toilet. Zhang Tan (Yuan), the main bookkeeper, said: "The name of the person is a layman, and it is not false." He Ji said: "Xun Lingjun went to the people's house and sat on the table for three days." How am I like Lingjun? You don't hate me, I love it. Tan (Yuan) said: "In ancient times, there were good women, who were suffering (Hui) and raised their eyebrows, and everyone who saw them thought it was good; The ugly woman in his neighbor is lawful, and those who see it will go. The public wants to make the lower officials retreat? ”

Ji He laughed, thinking that he was knowledgeable.
