Chapter 22: Swinging the Sword Hanoi
The west wind howled, and the two white horses went away in the autumn wind.
The white horse is obviously not an extraordinary horse, the horse's hooves are broad, and the stride is like flying, galloping in the Pingchuan east of the river in late autumn.
"It's here!"
Reining in the galloping white horse, Dong Huang looked at the familiar city wall in front of him and exhaled softly.
Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and two years ago, my uncle was imprisoned, and at that time, the whole family was in a panic, and my grandmother was in tears all day long. Who would have thought that in just two years, my uncle would have the opportunity to meet today, and he would be able to become a general of the expedition to the west, become a pastor of the state, and be named a marquis, and marry a princess, which can be described as infinitely better.
Now, as long as my uncle calms down the war in the annexed states, he will definitely be able to make further progress, and at that time, even if my uncle can't be promoted again, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the annexation of the states again, and the marquis of Jinfeng County will not be able to escape.
"Let's go, let's go into town!"
After a long time, Dong Huang retracted his mind, waved his horsewhip, and galloped towards the north gate of Anyi City, followed closely behind him.
After entering the city gate, Dong Huang rode his horse and went straight to the Taishou Mansion in Hedong.
In a hurry for two years, things are not people.
Dong Huang stood in the main hall of the Taishou Mansion, and he began to sigh again with sentimentality.
The Taishou Mansion is still the Taishou Mansion of the year, and everything in front of him is exactly the same as before, and it has not changed at all, but the Hedong Taishou is no longer the Hedong Taishou of two years ago.
It's really a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven!
"Major General!"
An excited voice interrupted Dong Huang's thoughts.
Followed by a rush of footsteps, Dong Huang looked back and saw a young man of more than seven feet striding into the lobby.
Dong Huang naturally recognized him, he was Xu Rong, the current Hedong Taishou, who was praised by his uncle as "my Han Xin".
"I've seen General Gongsheng!"
Dong Huang and Xu Rong greeted each other, and they all looked very happy to see each other.
However, when he sat down, Xu Rong wanted to give up the main position to Dong Huang, but Dong Huang resolutely resigned.
In Dong Huang's words, a strong guest does not suppress the master, he can't dominate the guest!
Xu Rong couldn't argue, so he vacated the main seat, letting Dong Huang sit on the left and himself on the right.
Xu Rong's approach undoubtedly satisfied everyone.
Dong Huang secretly commented on Xu Rong in his heart, this is a polite, polite, mature and stable person, no wonder his uncle values him so much.
After the two of them sat down, Dong Huang said, "If you want to come to the general, you can guess that I came to Hedong this time, but the important matter of the lord was handed over to General Gongsheng......
"Major General, slow down!"
Xu Rong stopped Dong Huang's words, waved his hand to the guards at the door, and ordered, "You all go down, guard outside, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
After the guards at the door closed the door, Xu Rong said, "I don't know what the lord commands, please make it clear to the young general!" ”
Xu Rong could naturally guess that Dong Huang was here to convey Dong Zhuo's order, but since he was able to bother Dong Huang to come to deliver the order in person, this matter was naturally extraordinary, and he had to be careful.
"General Gongsheng is cautious!"
Dong Huang praised with a smile, then changed his complexion, sat upright, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I only came to Hanoi this time!" ”
"Hanoi?"
Xu Rong was shocked, is the lord going to do something to Hanoi County?
"Exactly!"
Dong Huang looked solemn and said, "Now the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yufu Luotun soldiers in Hanoi actually colluded with the Baibo Army to attack the four counties of Hanoi, Hedong, Taiyuan and Shangdang, and the lord sent me here to help the general break the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang's department, and then take the opportunity to control Hanoi County." ”
Hearing this, Xu Rong nodded slowly.
Since the beginning of the year, the Baibo army had started an incident in Xihe County, and soon gathered 100,000 people, and they went all the way south to attack the land of Shangdang in Hedong. After Xu Rong was transferred to Hedong Taishou, he dispatched troops and defeated the 50,000 troops led by Yang Feng, the commander of the Baibo Army, three times, forcing Yang Feng to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Hanoi.
Xu Rong naturally knew the importance of Hanoi County, such as the chaos has risen today, the peasant uprisings have not stopped, the powerful families have taken advantage of the situation to rise, and the Han Dynasty is in a precarious situation like the Great Qin Empire in the past.
Xu Rong also knew Dong Zhuo's ambition to make contributions in this troubled world.
In troubled times, whether it is to dominate the world or to divide one side, the most important thing is population and land.
With population, there is productivity and a source of soldiers; With the land of the city, it was possible to produce food to feed the people and the army.
Hanoi has a population of 800,000, which is quite a number. You must know that now under Dong Zhuo's rule, even if the Qiang people are added to Xiliang, it is only seven or eight hundred thousand people, and there are only fifty or sixty people in Bingzhou, and the right Fufeng guarded by Huaxiong has a population of four or five hundred thousand, and the Hedong that he himself guards is the most populous county under Dong Zhuo's command, but it is only more than 500,000.
If the 800,000 people of Hanoi are added under Dong Zhuo's rule, it will undoubtedly be a tiger with wings for Dong Zhuo.
It's just that Xu Rong is hindered by the fact that the Taishou of Hanoi County is the confidant of the general He Jin, and at this time Dong Zhuo and He Jin are in a sweet period, and he does not dare to act rashly, so he only trains soldiers in Hedong and strictly defends the White Polish Army to make a comeback again.
At this time, Dong Huang said that the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Fu Luotun soldiers in Hanoi and wanted to collude with the white wave thieves to attack Hanoi, Hedong and other counties, Xu Rong knew that the opportunity had come.
"Is this news reliable?"
Although he knew that the news that Dong Zhuo asked Dong Huang to send in person could not be wrong or missing, Xu Rong still wanted to confirm it.
Because this question is so important.
"This matter is absolutely true, the news comes from Liu Bao, the son of King Zuoxian, General Gongsheng do not doubt it!"
Dong Huang is not annoyed, this matter is very important, it is normal for Xu Rong to be cautious and cautious, and the same is true for him.
He knew how much Dong Zhuo attached importance to this heartbeat plan.
That day, when Liu Bao learned from Liu Bao's mouth that Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo led his troops to stay in Hanoi, intending to collude with the Baibo army to attack Hanoi and other places, although Dong Zhuo could not accurately judge the truth of Liu Bao's words, but the opportunity was also rare, if he could defeat Yu Fuluo and let Liu Bao lead his father's subordinates, for Dong Zhuo, it would be much easier to quell the rebellion of the Xiongnu in the north of Bingzhou, and Dong Zhuo was naturally moved.
The next day, Dong Zhuo received a secret letter from Li Ru in Luoyang, and the intelligence organization established by Li Ru had begun to take shape, and its influence had spread to all counties in the Gyeonggi region. The news of Yu Fuluo's collusion with the Bai Bo Army was discovered by Li Ru's secret agents, and Li Ru sent a letter to Dong Zhuo, suggesting that Dong Zhuo take the sheep and take this opportunity to annex the eighteen counties of Hanoi County in one fell swoop.
Dong Huang said again, "General Gongsheng rest assured, Brother Wenzheng has already arranged it in Luoyang, as long as General Gongsheng reports to the imperial court, saying that he has captured the letter of the secret rebellion between Yu Fuluo, the king of Zuoxian, and Yang Feng, the commander of the Baibo Army, then General Gongsheng will be able to send troops to Hanoi in a grand manner." ”
Xu Rong sighed, "This plan is wonderful! ”
